The old farms of Posillipo: sleep b&b at 2 steps of the tradition there.
Along the street of Posillipo they exist the ancient cross that they lead to some farms, towers and villas, some of which can appreciate choosing the coastal streets which lead towards Mergellina.
An rural alley which fits from Via Posillipo and from Via Manzoni leads to the picturesque farm of Villanova, where it is the Church Santa Maria della Consolazione, built by Ferdinand Sanfelice, 1737, where it's possible to admire some paintings of Paolo De Maio and a wash basin composed with reliefs of the first '500.
From here, following the ancient road plan often interrupted by the modern streets, we can go down in the cluster of houses called Porta Posillipo, at Sant' Antonio, and for the homonymous banisters in Mergellina, or continue in opposite direction, seeing magnificent sights and walking in a still relatively intact and green environment, toward the characteristic Farm of Santo Strato and its Churche where there are a paint of the sixteenth century and wooden sculptures of the seventeenth century.
Along Manzoni Street we reach Orazio Street, of big panoramic interest, whom ends in Mergellina near the station of the funicular of Posillipo.

Topic: #.UM appended to my show view in URL
I'm creating a simple webstore on Rails. I created a product model with two nested resources as seen in my routes file:
resources :products do
resources :backgrounds
resources :highlights
Whenever I access my product through:
It loads perfectly and then a split second later, Rails adds this to the URL
So the final url is:
The "#.UM" is consistent, but the final nine characters increment upon refresh, so you'll see: #.UMgXaqUeO95, #.UMgXaqUeO96, etc.
The product model has the typical product fields of name, description, price, etc. I dynamically change the background css using the background model and I add multiple highlights of the product (i.e. Cool toy. Fun for the family, etc.).
I kept everything pretty vanilla, so I'm wondering why I'm getting the added characters in my URL. The apended characters do not show up in any other models, resources or views - it only shows up in the product/show view.
I'm using Rails 3.2.8 with Ruby 1.9.3 on RVM on a MacBook with Heroku in production. I use MongoDB via Mongoid. The same appended URL code is added in production.
Your help is much appreciated.

Córdoba (Province)
Patio de la calle Marroquíes. Córdoba
Mezquita de Córdoba
Medina Azahara
It is located in southern Spain (Andalusia), on the banks of the Guadalquivir river. It has a rich architectural and artistic heritage including particularly the Great Mosque in the provincial capital, Cordoba, and the archaeological site at Medina-Azahara. It is well worth exploring its stately white villages, olive groves and mountain landscapes in places such as the Sierra de Hornachuelos and the Sierras de Cardeña and Montoro Nature Reserves. Cordoba also boasts a rich gastronomic tradition typical of the interior, featuring several products which have been awarded the Designation of Origin label;Los Pedroches cured ham and virgin olive oil, for example; as well as characteristic recipes such as stewed bull's tail and "salmorejo" (a kind of thick gazpacho). These delicious dishes are perfect when accompanied by the wines to be found on the Montilla-Moriles Wine Route.

Premier Alison Redford, Health Minister Fred Horne, Human Services Minister Dave Hancock and Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk yesterday went boldly where no Alberta Conservative has dared to go before! And good for them.
Specifically, yesterday Redford and the three members of her cabinet went where former premier Ralph Klein, human resources and employment minister Mike Cardinal and infrastructure minister Lyle Oberg hinted they might think about going, then chickened out, back in 2005.
To wit: the 2012 quartet of Progressive Conservative cabinet members finally, justly and quite properly imposed first-contract binding arbitration in a labour dispute that just couldn't seem to be settled in the normal course of collective bargaining.

Does anyone or has anyone tried cracker crusts in WFO. Don't have mine yet, might have to wait til next year as some things have come up but just wondering.Jon
My friend, Bob, said it was a HG flour but didn't mention a brand. The way he buys his flour, he probably doesn't know. Also, as far as hydration, he said he just adds water until it "feels right". I never saw a pizza baked the way he does it before.
Steve,I think Bob mentioned on Friday that he used high-gluten flour (Kyrol) that he buys from the Country Store. Do you remember your friend Bob saying that?Norma

New Flexibilities Expand and Promote Partnerships
October 11
By Melanie Bella, Director of the CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office
In July, the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office announced a new opportunity for States to participate in demonstration projects that will help improve the quality of care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees. These approaches provide States the opportunity to share in reduced costs that result from improved quality.
We're pleased to report that 37 States and the District of Columbia have indicated interest in exploring these demonstrations in their states. Across the country States are moving forward and proposing new ways to better serve their Medicare-Medicaid enrollees. These innovative initiatives vary regionally and in their approach, ranging from using health homes that provide total care management to expanding existing programs to meet all of an individual's needs by incorporating behavioral health and long-term supports and services, as well as making current coordinated care models available to new populations, such as individuals with long-term care needs or those with serious and persistent mental illness. Two examples of these new approaches are:
Massachusetts is developing an innovative approach to ensure that enrollees under age 65 have one organization responsible for coordinating their medical and non-medical needs. In addition to integrating all Medicare and Medicaid services, enrollees would have new access to enhanced behavioral health services and community support services not normally available to this population in a traditional fee-for-service model. These services will help beneficiaries in the community and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations.
Oklahoma is expanding its efforts to coordinate care to better serve Medicare-Medicaid enrollees Statewide. Building on existing models, with newfound access to Medicare data and an opportunity to share in savings from care management investments, the State seeks to develop a person-centered approach that provides for the totality of an individual's needs, through coordination of primary, acute, and behavioral health care as well as prescription drugs and long-term services and supports.
Over the next several months, we will be working closely with the States interested in further developing their approaches and will serve as a resource for any State interested in improving care for their Medicare-Medicaid enrollees. These models provide States and the Federal government with new flexibilities and pathways to make Medicare and Medicaid stronger. Together, with our State partners, we will continue our commitment to caring for the most vulnerable individuals we serve.

Lena's Swedish Meatballs with Lingonberry Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 pound each ground beef, pork, and veal (or all beef if you prefer)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons salt
- Few grinds black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 3 pieces white bread, crust removed, torn and soaked in whole milk
- Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 to 2 tablespoons black currant jam
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
- Lingonberry jam, for serving
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Remove the onion to a plate and cool. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meats, egg yolks, heavy cream and onion. Add salt, pepper and allspice. Squeeze excess milk from the bread and add it to the bowl. Mix gently with your hands or wooden spoon.
With a bowl of cold water standing by, form meatballs about 1-inch across. Dip your fingers in cold water, from time to time, to keep the meat from sticking to your hands.
Melt the remaining butter in the saute pan and once the foam has subsided add a layer of meatballs. Do not overcrowd the pan. Shake the pan once in awhile, to keep the meatballs round. Brown all of the meatballs, in batches, removing them to a large oven safe dish when cooked. Put the dish in the oven for about 20 minutes, being careful not to overcook them.
Cook's Note: you may need to wipe out the pan between batches as it can get kind of gnarly.
To make the sauce: Pour off most of the fat from the skillet and return it to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl it around to coat the pan. Sprinkle in the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon or whisk to dissolve the flour into the fat. Pour in the chicken stock, and stir to loosen the bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring, until the liquid is reduced and the mixture starts to thicken to a sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lower the heat and stir in the cream and the black currant jam. Add the meatballs to the sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and the meatballs are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
To serve, spoon a couple of meatballs onto each plate along with a spoonful of sauce, and serve with the lingonberry jam on the side.

Using Films to Teach Social Welfare Policy
Because social welfare policy tends to be among the least-preferred courses in the social work curriculum, using contemporary films to augment the course content may help students gain awareness of the nature of the relationship between micro- and macro-level social work. Films may also help to bring abstract policy concepts into a more grounded and focused format. The purpose of this article is to explore the use of contemporary film in teaching social welfare policy in courses by presenting three films as case examples along with suggested discussion questions for each. The article concludes by discussing a framework and criteria for the selection and use of films for social work curricula.

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could give me feedback on these tea bowls. Do these shapes look like Chawans or do they need more specific properties? I think the Yunomis are all ok... yes? And I made a container with the side lugs next to the tea pot, these are used for storing "tea?" Any certain size they should be?
I know I like green tea with a little sugar... any suggestions with what to start with. I know a where a oriental place/specilty store is. Also, I like cappachino type coffee... a little thicker and sweeter... any teas like that??
So, I've attached some pics of greenware (unfired clay) I've thrown, if you feel like addressing any of these questions, I would really appreciate it. Bill (not counting the handled ones... you don't use them right?)

Talking with Fort Worth's 14-year-old Fruit of the Loom dancing sensation Tucker Heim
We were so impressed with 14-year-old Tucker Heim's winning audition tape for Fruit of the Loom's Next Big Move contest (which means we'll get to see him in a Fruit of the Loom commercial), we had to find out how the Fort Worth teen pulled it off. Here's what he told us:
How did you hear about the contest?
We heard about the contest on the radio on 106.1 the night before the auditions in Dallas.
What made you decide to do the audition ?
My mom and I looked on Fruit of the Loom's Facebook page about the contest and thought it looked like fun. We had seen the ads featuring Legacy [So You Think You Can Dance finalist Jonathan "Legacy" Perez] and the other dancers during the summer Olympics and loved them.
How did you prepare for it?
Honestly, I didn't prepare for it because I really didn't know what to expect. I dance daily at my studio Dance Concept and love to dance and just thought I would go out and have a good time. It was great! Legacy battled with different contestants and had different contestants dance with each other just for fun. It was a great experience and everyone with the Fruit of the Loom event team were so nice and encouraging to everyone that auditioned.
How did you feel when you were selected as a finalist?
I just couldn't believe it! I was speechless. It was awesome! My mom and I felt like it was an honor just to be a finalist. I was thankful just have had the experience.
How did you feel when you won?
I am still in shock! I jumped up and down and just wanted to dance. I just couldn't believe it! I feel really thankful that all my friends and family believed in me and voted for me!
Do you go to Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts?
Yes, I have gone to Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts since I was in the third grade.
Do you want to be a professional performer?
Absolutely, I love to dance, sing and perform. I also love to choreograph pieces for my friends.
Are you or will you be in any shows around town that I can tell readers about?
Yes, but not until February,2013. I will be in the middle school musical Thoroughly Modern Millie at Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts February 22nd & 23rd and in Dance Concepts Preview Show at Will Rogers Memorial Colliseum Auditorium on February 24th, 2013.

Gotta Have It
Can you get too much of a good thing?
Illustration by Jeremy Collins
All 30-year-old Jenny Moran wanted was to get in better shape. And when she started trail running on a regular basis, that's what happened. For the first time in her life, she felt in control of her weight. It was, she says, an amazing feeling.
But within a few years, things spiraled out of hand. Moran's workouts became a fixation, looming large over other activities. At the peak of the obsession, she was even using her runs as a type of purge to "cancel out" whatever she had eaten that day
"Running consumed my thoughts," Moran, now 42, says. "Every day I sat at work thinking about running. It was like a crazy voice in my head. That's when I knew something was really wrong."
Sports psychologists consider Moran's condition a "running addiction," an intense obsession that can impact physical health, stress levels, outside responsibilities and more. The problem, however, remains largely undiagnosed, in part because of the healthy image associated with the runner's lifestyle. If someone is well enough to go out and run every day, how sick can they be?

IRVINE, CA (WWJ) — Kelly Blue Book's list of the 10 Best Family Cars includes mid-size cars, minivans and small SUVs. It's also a mix of brands, foreign and domestic.
"This is a great year for family cars," said Jack Nerad, Kelly Blue Book's executive market analyst. "There are some new entries in the marketplace that are terrific. Some of the old standbys are also terrific."
At the top of the list, the Nissan Pathfinder.
Interview: Jeff Gilbert talks with Kelly Blue Book's Jack Nerad about top family cars.
"It's new this year, and we were really taken by the Pathfinder," said Nerad.
The largest category on the list is mid-size cars. There were four of these vehicles including, says Nerad, the all-new Ford Fusion.
"It's a very, high-tech vehicle, and offers good looks on the outside and creature comforts on the inside," says Nerad.
There was only one other American brand vehicle on the list, and it was an interesting choice. Nerad says they included the Chevy Suburban because big families need big vehicles.
"There are a lot of people, my family among them, that like a large vehicle like that, that has great hauling power, great passenger capacity," says Nerad.
Kelly Blue Book's 10 Best Family Cars:
- Nissan Pathfinder
- Honda Accord
- Toyota Prius V
- Volkswagen Passat
- Honda Odyssey
- Toyota Avalon
- Ford Fusion
- Honda CRV
- Nissan Altima
- Chevrolet Suburban

Central Oregon Cheese, Beer and Wine Tastings
Over the weekend, Sunriver Resort hosted a delicious tasting event in the lobby of the main lodge. Guests were treated to samples of craft beer from Widmer Brothers, world class cheeses from Tumalo Farms, and several great wines from the Chateau Ste. Michelle collection.
The conversation around the table was lively as the presenters from each company chatted with guests about their products. The Tumalo Classico and Rimrocker cheeses were a big hit and an easy pair with both beer and wine. The Rimrocker paired with the Pitch Black IPA was especially popular. Kathleen Avila poured the Cold Creek Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, as well as the Canoe Ridge Merlot and the Eroica Riesling from the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Washington. Many guests agreed the Cold Creek Chardonnay paired extremely well with the award winning Tumalo Classico, a farmstead goat's milk cheese handcrafted just up the highway from Sunriver.
Many of the guests were on their way to dinner at the Meadows Restaurant or the Owl's Nest Bar & Grill. The tasting made at least some of the dining choices easier, as most of the products featured at the tasting were made available on the menus at the restaurants.
We look forward to hosting a series of fantastic tastings like this one in the future with our incredible Northwest culinary and beverage artisians.

Skip to comments.Hillary Clinton leaves New York hospital with family, aide
Posted on 01/02/2013 1:35:35 PM PST by smoothsailing
Jan 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was driven away from New York-Presbyterian hospital on Wednesday with her husband, Bill, and daughter, Chelsea, and an aide, a Reuters photographer witnessed.
The four of them left the building and entered the same vehicle, which drove away.
It was unclear where she was going or whether she was discharged from the hospital...
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
watch for signs of a face lift
Man, she looks OLD.
LOLOLOL. No signs of any face lift, which she desperately needs.
Yesterday, she was at death's door; today, everything's cool.
She looks like an extra from the series The Walking Dead.
She can't remember a thing about that place in Libya.
What a lot of drama for a headache. She was suffering from a massive hangover, just like many of us.
I wish Hillary a long, pleasant, happy and PERMANENT retirement.
Was it really Hillary, or someone made up to look like Hillary??? A Reuters photographer witnessed this... but we have no pictures? hmmmmmm.
anyone know where that deleted picture came from? It's not on the linked site right now
there was a picture posted here but the mod deleted it.
UPDATE: Early reports mistakenly saying Hillary Clinton was released from hospital have been confirmed to be untrue.
I really am concerned about this Blood Clot!
Hillary!? not so much.
Then what's up with the pictures of her and Bill leaving the hospital?
There is a story out by Sorcha Faal that Hillary is dead.
It is unclear whether the alias Sorcha Faal is just an internet nut job or a Disinformation Specialist - perhaps CIA.
It will be interesting to see what plays out.
She is SO creepy.
Is she sitting where most people's dog stand? What a creepy picture....
oops forgot the link
Looks like one of those HOV-lane dummies, to me.
a lot of pictures here
Looks like "Weekend at Bernie's".
The fake crap is complete.
Just innocently asking.
That was just a misunderstanding. The other day, there was a story on the evening news stating: "one of the most recognizable people in America has passed away." They then flashed a picture of Jack Klugman on the screen, which Sorcha Faal mistook for Hillary Clinton.
Joe Biden:
I see Bill found time to visit after Hillary's 3rd week in the hospital.......
A MIRACLE!!!! A New Congress and a MIRACLE!!!!
Is that a hearse?
"Looks like one of those HOV-lane dummies, to me."
I've thought so for years.....
Is that one of those cone things my dogs have to wear after (some) vets visits??
That and a lot of cellulite sucked from her posterior, thighs, knees and calfs.
Man does that woman look terrible from behind.
Every reference to Hillary needs to refer to her as "brain damaged Hillary" . . .
I'll go with Weekend at Bernie's. Frankly, she is proped up in some sort of jump seat with a upholstery. She is too close to the driver. Where are her legs?
Bill's nose looks like a corpse in the pic with him in the back seat smirking.
Why do I feel like we are in the middle of a HRC death watch....I was surprised she got out of the hospital....My guess is she will never testify because she knows president Jarret allowed those people to die for her front man's protection...
Is Hillary blind? Her brief outing today was to an eye specialist:
NEW YORK - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was seen leaving the main hospital building where she has been recovering from a blood clot for four days to visit the Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute before returning again to the hospital Wednesday.
The secretary of state had been speaking with her staff and reviewing paperwork from the hospital, the State Department said Wednesday, as doctors continue to monitor Clinton's progress and her response to blood thinners intended to dissolve the clot. Aides emphasized that the secretary remained engaged with staff.
I don't remember: Do orcs have families?
Who's the aide? Huma?
Horse crap...the media has been BEATING THE DRUM about how GREAT she is doing, and she'll make a FULL RECOVERY.

Countdown to The North Face Championship - Page 2
Last year's top two women—Anna Frost and Ellie Greenwood—won't be returning this year, while Joelle Vaught, 37, of Boise, Idaho, who came in third last year (she also took second in 2009 and fourth in 2010), will be going for the win. Vaught has been collecting first-place finishes this year, including the Lake Sonoma 50, the Pocatello 50 and the Waldo 100K, among other impressive performances.
Veteran Krissy Moehl, 33, of Boulder, Colorado, who won the Mountain Masochist 50 earlier this month, is in good form. Swedish runner Emelie Forsberg, 25, the 2012 Skyrunning World Champ, kick started a headline-making career in both mountain and ultrarunning in one fell swoop. Forsberg put herself on the map this year with a second-place finish at the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Race and third-place finishes in both the Zegama Marathon and Ultra Cavalls del Vent. She won a Skyrunning World Series title and took third place in the Skyrunning Ultra Series.
Past TNF 50 Endurance Challenge champs Kami Semick, a 46-year-old American now living in Hong Kong, the UK's Lizzy Hawker, 36, and Caitlin Smith, 31, of Oakland, California will be in the running this weekend as well. International athletes like France's Maud Gobert and Canadian Christina Clark, 32, will toe the line too. Boulder's Tina Lewis, 38, who won this year's Leadville 100 along with the Miwok 100K, and Bethany Lewis, 34, of Salt Lake City, Utah, who set the women's Grand Canyon double-crossing record in 2011, round out the field.
The men's field is also talent packed. Only two of last year's top-10 finishers will return (Jason Wolfe, 36, of Flagstaff, Arizona, and Mike Foote, 29, of Missoula, Montana), making room for some Colorado-based ultra-racing newcomers—like Joel Hamilton (40, from Denver) and Chris Siemers (30, also from Denver), both of whom qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials Marathon, and Cameron Clayton, 24, from Boulder (who set a course record in his debut ultra at the Run Rabbit Run 50-mile earlier this year)—along with a slew of veterans.
Ian Sharman, 32, of Bend, Oregon, fifth at the 2012 Western States, fourth at the UROC 100K in September and fourth in the JFK 50, will be a contender. Hal Koerner, 36, of Ashland, Oregon, and Dave Mackey, 43, of Boulder, Colorado, are both having strong years too. Dylan Bowman, 26, of Aspen, Colorado, has momentum coming off great performances at the Bandera 100K, the Leona Divide 50, the Western States 100 and the Run Rabbit Run 100. Sage Canady, 26, of Boulder, Colorado, another serious contender, won the White River 50 (with a notable course record) and this year's Mount Washington Road Race; he also took second place in the UROC 100K, his ultra debut. Under-the-radar runners like Leor Pantilat 27, a resident of San Carlos, California, and Rickey Gates, 31, of the Bay Area, are looking to open eyes this weekend as well.

Welcome back Adam.Don
You can do what you want, but I wouldn't put the starter in for this early testing. The dough (as you said) is the most likely culprit of any problems. Make some more pizzas, 750 is getting pretty high for KABF or KAAP when made not to specs. And I'm not saying that I could do it correctly either.Your design will work. Like suggested, make lots more dough, launch at a lower temp until you get a better feel for it. Get some dollar store ketchup for a topping save the cheese and meat for when you like how they look.$.02

If it's not Julie Bowen's sternum being investigated for pacemaker scars, it's Ariel Winter's delicate child-flesh too much on display, or Sofia Vergara's …I don't know… body bows being thrown all over the carpet and tripping people up. Putting aside that those are all women, people love to find fault when you're the ones on top. Full Story

How Community Foundations impact communities
Many donors want to keep their philanthropic dollars local, to better the community where they live, work, and raise their families. That's why local community foundations are so important-they provide a way to keep assets and resources in the community.
For many years, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) has helped establish and grow community funds as a way to expand resources within our 20-county region. Currently we have 21 community foundations and four designated funds under our umbrella-helping to build local philanthropic capacity for communities to do grantmaking. Collectively over the years, these funds have built $1.78 million in assets and have awarded more than $3.4 million in grants and programming.
Take the Gateway Academy Summer Day Camp held in Kinglsand school district, for example. This summer camp is unlike any other in southern Minnesota, as it prepares middle school students for the rigors of high school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classes. Due to its cost, this prestigious program is generally offered in large, metropolitan school districts. However, because of a seed grant from the Spring Valley Area Community Foundation, Kingsland students attend the camp free of charge.
Because of the Foundation's support in getting this program started, the community is already planning to continue the camp next summer. The community believes that the camp addresses educational needs by providing hands-on learning experiences that inspire creativity and imagination in science, technology, engineering and math.
Addressing specific community needs is what a local community foundation can do that other grantmakers cannot. Because community foundation board members have a deep knowledge of local needs, local foundations are successful in identifying practical projects to enhance their community, and then raising the funds to complete them. They are also able to ensure that charitable gifts are used effectively to meet a community's most critical needs.
Managing investment dollars for community foundations is one of the many benefits SMIF offers to area communities. Right now, we are also offering two opportunities for community foundations to capture additional SMIF dollars of up to $8,000. The first is a matching endowment challenge, which provides a $1 match for every $2 the community foundation raises up to $5,000. Second, we provide a matching grant opportunity that provides a $1 for $1 match up to $3,000 for community foundations to support projects in the early childhood or entrepreneurship categories.
If you are interested in learning more about starting a community foundation in your community, contact our Development and Outreach Officer Jennifer Nelson at 507-455-3215 or email@example.com.

Continuing my post-week coverage of the [Data Center 2010 conference], Wednesday morning started with another keynote session, followed by some break-out sessions.
- Realities of IT Investment
Tighter budgets mean more business decisions. Future investments will come from cost savings. The analysts report that 77 percent of IT decisions are made by CFOs. Most organizations are spending less now than back in 2008 before the recession.
How we innovate through IT is changing. In bad times, risk trumps return, but only 21 percent of the audience have a formal "risk calculation" as part of their purchase plans.
Divestment matters as much as investment. Reductions in complexity have the greatest long-term cost savings. Try to retire at least 20 percent of your applications next year. With the advent of Cloud Computing, companies might just retire it and go entirely with public cloud offerings. Note that this graph the years are different than the ones above, in groups of half-decade increments.
It is important to identify functional dependencies and link your IT risks to business outcomes. Focus on making costs visible, and re-think how you communicate IT performance measurements and their impact to business. Try to change the culture and mind-set so that projects are not referred to as "IT projects" focused on technology, but rather they are "business projects" focused on business results.
- Moving to the Cloud
Richard Whitehead from Novell presented challenges in moving to Cloud Computing. There are risks and challenges managing multiple OS environments. Users should have full access to all IT resources they need to do their jobs. Computing should be secure, compliant, and portable. Here is the shift he sees from physical servers to virtual and cloud deployments, years 2010 to 2015:
Richard considers a "workload" as being the combination of the operating system, middleware, and application. He then defines "Business Service" as an appropriate combination of these workloads. For example, a business service that provides a particular report might involve a front-end application, talking through business logic workload server, talking to a back-end database workload server.
To address this challenge, Novell introduces "Intelligent Workload Management", called WorkloadIQ. This manages the lifecycle to build, secure, deploy, manage and measure each workload. Their motto was to take the mix of physical, virtual and cloud workloads all "make it work as one". IBM is a business partner with Novell, and I am a big fan of Novell's open-source solutions including SUSE Linux.
- A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cloud....
Bud Albers, CTO of Disney, shared their success in deploying their hybrid cloud infrastructure. Everyone recognizes the Disney brand for movies and theme parks, but may not aware that they also own ABC News and ESPN television, Travel cruises, virtual worlds, mobile sites, and deploy applications like Fantasy Football and Fantasy Fishing.
Two years ago, each Line of Business (LOB) owned their own servers, they were continually out of space, power and HVAC issues forced tactical build-outs of their datacenters. But in 2008, the answer to all questions was Cloud Computing, it slices and dices like something invented by [Ron Popeill], with no investment or IT staff required. However, continuing to ask the CFO for CAPEX to purchase assets that were only 1/7th used was not working out either. That's right, over 75 percent of their servers were running less than 15 percent CPU utilization.
The compromise was named "D*Cloud". Internal IT infrastructure would be positioned for Cloud Computing, by adopting server virtualization, implementing REST/SOAP interfaces, and replicating the success across their various Content Distribution Networks (CDN). Disney is no stranger to Open Source software, using Linux and PHP. Their [Open Source] web page shows tools available from Disney Animation studios.
At the half-way point, they had half their applications running virtualized on just 4 percent of their servers. Today, they run over 20 VMs per host and have 65 percent of their apps virtualized. Their target is 80 percent of their apps virtualized by 2014.
Bud used the analogy that public clouds will be the "gas stations" of the IT industry. People will choose the cheapest gas among nearby gas stations. By focusing on "Application management" rather than "VM instance management", Disney is able to seamlessly move applications as needed from private to public cloud platforms.
Their results? Disney is now averaging 40 percent CPU utilization across all servers. Bud feels they have achieved better scalability, better quality of service, and increased speed, all while saving money. Disney is spending less on IT now than in 2008,
- UPMC Maximizes Storage Efficiency with IBM
Kevin Muha, UPMC Enterprise Architect & Technology Manager for Storage and Data Protection Services, was unable to present this in person, so Norm Protsman (IBM) presented Kevin's charts on the success at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center [UPMC]. UPMC is Western Pennsylvania's largest employer, with roughly 50,000 employees across 20 hospitals, 400 doctors' offices and outpatient sites. They have frequently been rated one of the best hospitals in the US.
Their challenge was storage growth. Their storage environment had grown 328 percent over the past three years, to 1.6PB of disk and nearly 7 PB of physical tape. To address this, UPMC deployed four IBM TS7650G ProtecTIER gateways (2 clusters) and three XIV storage systems for their existing IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) environment. Since they were already using TSM over a Fibre Channel SAN, the implementation took only three days.
UPMC was backing up nearly 60TB per day, in a 15-hour back window. Their primary data is roughly 60 percent Oracle, with the rest being a mix of Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and unstructured data such as files and images.
Their results? TSM reclamation is 30 percent faster. Hardware footprint reduced from 9 tiles to 5. Over 50 percent reduction in recovery time for Oracle DB, and 20 percent reduction in recovery of SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, and Epic Cache. They average 24:1 deduplication overall, which can be broken down by data category as follows:
- 29:1 Cerner Oracle
- 18:1 EPIC Cache
- 10:1 Microsoft SQL Server
- 8:1 Unstructured files
- 6:1 Microsoft Exchange
UPMC still has lots of LTO-4 tapes onsite and offsite from before the change-over, so the next phase planned is to implement "IP-based remote replication" between ProtecTIER gateways to a third data center at extended distance. The plan is to only replicate the backups of production data, and not replicate the backups of test/dev data.
The presentation and supporting case study details on this is available on the [IBM Literature Fullfilment] website.
The show floor closed after Wednesday's lunch, so many people made their last attempts to meet the folks at the booth.
technorati tags: IBM, CFO, Novell, WorkloadIQ, Disney, UPMC, ProtecTIER, TS7650G, deduplication, XIV, Kevin Muha, Norm Protsman, Bud Albers

quote rick mahoneyHacked/hexxed weaps were made by two sources
1) gearbox employees, they wanted to have fun, made some such as the original stock repeater which does...300000 damage x 5 ( not flat 300000 but its actually infinite damage just the game can only register a certain amount) gearbox also modded their levels to insanely high ranks ex: 1677 is my friends level and hes a gearbox employee.
2) people like me who got a hold of one of the original modded guns and class mods so on... and just took them to make them their own... ex: my pistol does 999999 damage and its class specification changes every time you look into your inventory and it has no level requirement, or my eridian chain gun that has 6 101101 eridian cannon barrels hooked onto it and they all fire simultaneously.
happy hacking mates

Central Oregon Weather - 555 Feet Makes a Difference
There are countless things to love about Central Oregon: the mountains, rivers, forests, activities, culture, dining - the list goes on. But the one on the top of my list has to be the microclimates.
As a self-professed weather dork, Central Oregon to me is a climatological heaven. The region of "Central Oregon" is generally defined by three counties of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook from Madras in the north to LaPine to the south. Just 72 miles separate these boundaries. The further south you go the higher the elevation, which (among other geological factors) affects the weather in a very profound way.
Today is a perfect example of the microclimates in the region. Bend lies at 3,600 feet. Sunriver, just 15 miles to the south, lies at 4,155 feet. The picture below, taken at the exact same time, demonstrates the difference 555 feet in elevation (and proximity to the Cascades) can make. Snowing hard in Sunriver and barley a flake in Bend. Oh...I love it here!
Sunriver weather updates and a live cam can be found here.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
A nun takes the veil
I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.
And I have asked to be
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.
Taking "heaven" and "haven" literally: the heavens are the skies, a haven is a sheltered port. The dash in the title suggests separation as much as linkage. Are we moving from a heaven in the first stanza to a haven in the second?
On that note, heaven and haven do seem to contrast. "I have desired to go" is very different from "I have asked to be." The imagery of the first stanza seems almost exclusively about the temperature and violence of the air, whereas the second stanza is about the temperament and violence of the sea. (I'm assuming a "spring" fails when it freezes or dries out).
The "desire to go" sets up the eventual destination, whereas "asked to be" concerns the mode of transport. That crisscrossing of metaphor – "desire" usually sets things in motion, "being" usually determines where/how something is at rest, "in itself" – alerts us that the relation isn't as simple as contrast, even though that can contribute to an interpretation. To see how heaven and haven compare, we note the two stanzas are linked not just by the title, but also by the last line of the first stanza and the first line of the second:
And a few lilies blow. / And I have asked to be
Lilies were preceded by "where springs not fail," where water and life are eternal. Around the "springs" are "fields where flies no sharp and sided hail," where physical pain and prejudice are gone. The good in the first stanza is defined by what it is not: the "veil" is implicit in the description. But there is one thing that stands in these fields which is not quite perfect: lilies. They are still moved by the wind, as they would be on earth. Their symbolism is still tinged with darkness.
In the next stanza, again, the good is mainly defined by what it is not: no storms come. But "the green swell is in the havens dumb" – the green swell is there, there is some battle between Chaos and Order, but our speaker is out of the "swing of the sea," culminating in a third "And." That last sentence is strange: the "green swell" is out of the "swing of the sea," the haven somehow defangs the wave.
The poem leaves us, in meditating on the vows one makes in choosing the religious life, with two things that our speaker cannot negate: the "lilies" and the "green swell." Our speaker sees that they are inescapably connected with her "desiring" and "being:" being is conceived in some relation to change ("green swell"). "Desiring" brings up the question of what we ultimately desire, the escape from failure and death.
Our speaker does not simply cast aside all earthly fallibility, though. The lilies are the memories we have of the dead. We hope they too remember us. Where she has desired to go is static in a fundamental sense, as only memories are still moving. Again, those memories are not of another realm. In where she asks to be, a "green swell" is perhaps sidestepped. One might link the lilies with the "green swell" and see Creation occurring within her. Again though, this is all a prayer. Her vows do not make her automatically holy because of the tension between "desiring" and "asking." What she wants is not hers to have. Human beings do not live on "lilies" alone. What she wants can only be given; she is therefore in the most vulnerable of situations. The prayer is serene because the trust is complete.

Simultaneous ceremonies call for creativity and a quick lift.
By THOMAS C. TOBIN
Published May 16, 2007
Two kids. Two graduations. Two locations.
It all added up to one difficult decision for Brenda Nielsen, a widow with a daughter graduating Monday at 7:30 p.m. from Clearwater High and a son graduating the same day, same time from Palm Harbor University High.
One ceremony will be in Clearwater, the other in St. Petersburg.
"Which one do you watch graduate?" she asked. "It's not an easy choice."
Nielsen, 49, was working on a plan to have one of the ceremonies videotaped when Clearwater High principal Keith Mastorides intervened.
"Are you scared of heights?" he asked.
"Yes," she said. Terrified in fact.
Oh well.
It's all been arranged: Nielsen will take a helicopter from her daughter's graduation at Bright House Networks Field in Clearwater to Albert Whitted Municipal Airport in St. Petersburg. There, a car will whisk her to see her son's graduation at Tropicana Field.
To buy time, Clearwater High arranged to have Rebecca Lee Nielsen, 18, receive her diploma first and Palm Harbor High will see to it that Mark Lloyd Nielsen II, 17, receives his diploma last.
Mastorides secured the necessary takeoff and landing approvals from officials in both cities.
When he told her this, Nielsen cried.
She said she will overcome her fear of heights for her kids.
"I was in shock," she said this week. "Overwhelmed. Because it's hard nowadays to find people to go out of their way to make things go right, especially when they've got a lot on their plate.
"So right now," she said of Clearwater High's first-year principal, "he's my hero."
This time last year, Brenda Nielsen could see the scheduling conflict coming.
Six Pinellas high schools held graduation ceremonies at identical or similar times on the same Wednesday night in May, all at different locations. Clearwater and Palm Harbor were among them.
Last summer Nielsen began lobbying the district to avoid scheduling the two graduations at the same time.
While officials were sympathetic, she said, they told her scheduling graduations was a difficult process that transcended the concerns of any one family.
She said one official suggested that she and her husband each go to one graduation. "Which would be nice," said Nielsen, whose husband, Mark Lloyd Nielsen, died in March 2002 after an unexplained coma. He was 47.
Though the family lives in Clearwater, Nielsen's son entered Palm Harbor's medical magnet program four years ago, wanting to follow in the footsteps of his father, who worked as a nurse.
Rebecca, who wants to be a teacher, opted for Clearwater High, where her mother graduated in 1976.
Brenda Nielsen's fears became real when the district announced graduation schedules early this year. Her children begged her not to make a stink, she said. "They just didn't want mom to upset the apple cart."
But mom made one more try about six weeks ago. She approached Mastorides, also a Clearwater alum, at Rebecca's awards ceremony for the school dance team.
"I told him, 'How can they do that to people? How can you get it changed?'"
He asked her to send him her concerns in an e-mail. Weeks passed. "I figured he wasn't able to work anything out, " Nielsen said.
Then he called Friday.
Mastorides had contacted Buzz Heuchan, an old family friend with an aerial photography business at Clearwater Airpark. Heuchan pointed him to Frank Marsalek, co-owner of Vertical Flight, another airpark business offering flight tours and aviation training.
Marsalek, 65, agreed to provide the flight at no cost. He said he would normally charge about $300.
"Everybody needs some help once in awhile," he said.
With the city's approval, Marsalek will pick up Nielsen on a baseball outfield next to Bright House Networks Field. The 13-mile trip should take six to eight minutes, he said.
Another airpark pilot helped out with similar arrangements in 2000 when a single mother could not make it to simultaneous graduations for Palm Harbor University High and Countryside High for her twin daughters.
Rebecca and Lloyd Nielsen plan to attend St. Petersburg College next year, but their high school graduations will be a time to look back and reflect on a hard-won milestone.
"It took me a long time to get them through," said Brenda Nielsen, whose helicopter trip will be a one-way affair.
Her mother will drive her back to Clearwater, she said.
"One time scared to death is enough for me."

Growing the Game After an Earthquake
So while most Americans are enjoying their President's Day holiday weekend, and many USA volleyball families are found in a convention center or gym – or even the Arizona Cardinals football stadium (well done Eppersons!) with kids playing over the days off, I find myself spending my week in Haiti, growing the game on the last stage of our State Department Sports United Grant. I am so glad I came….
This is the Phase 3 stage where the 10 coaches from Haiti, who Bill Hamiter, Sue Gozansky and I first met and coached at the FIVB Development Center in 2011 during Phase 1 and then brought the same coaches to the USA to participate in the Volleyball Festival as Phase 2, are now following the principle of "That Which You Teach, You Learn." They are giving back to their nation by teaching their nation's coaches, and over 30 new teacher and coaches have turned out to learn from the ten who we taught.
My luggage did not make it to start, but in the end I was able to give away a four nets on a rope, and a 45 meter 7.5cm white ribbon, some Molten 240g kids balls, copies of the USAV coloring book (and crayons) and MiniVolley book to leave behind. I could kick myself though as I forgot my sidewalk chalk back at home, for marking courts on all the concrete surfaces they play on, but I'll send some down when I get back. From Child in Hand, I have brought along shoes, uniforms, socks and more, to give to the Haitian Volleyball Federation. The federation president, Margaret Graham, is a solid leader, passionate about growing the game better in her nation, especially as a solution to the problems which have come from the earthquake impact. This clearly includes adding the sitting game to their options, part of my role as World Volleyball for the Disabled Director of Development.
Nearly every court you see is not just outside, with the best having Sport Court installed, but they play with no roof. Thanks to former USA national team members Bob Stafford and Byron Shewman, assisted by PSA/Lily Fernandez and NORCECA/Cristobal Marte - a fabric tent version is going up near the city, to be the headquarters of the Haitian indoor and sitting teams program. It will be a good thing to anchor and restore the program in this nation still needing so much.
I am coming in on the heels of Carnival which they all celebrated with abandon and which is a week off of school for the kids. Still with these holidays, the traffic is amazing, and gridlocks happen often for no apparent reason, other than one time there was a palm tree downed in the street and we negotiated around it by driving on the sidewalk in a game of chicken with the constant flow of foot traffic moving along that same space. This city of some 3 million starts at the sea and quickly climbs into the hillsides, meaning most the time you are either strolling downhill or struggling up hill. When I played volleyball in Italy I lived near Cinque Terra, but this place is more like 555 Terraces, not five. All the while " TapTaps," or camionettes filled with 10-15 people meander the roads. These are colorfully painted small pickup trucks with a raised camper shell and bench seats extended past the truck bed added to turn them into high volume taxis. How do you know which one to get on? I am told you just learn….but then again, there are limited street and stop signs, as people drive fast, but not too fast, and all seem to know the width of their car or truck down to the a single centimeter. Luckily I grew up riding Mr. Toads Wild Ride, a C ticket at Disneyland, and I am enjoying each intersection. What adds to the fun are the thousands of motorcyclists weaving thru every small gap to save time. Fredrick never wore his seatbelt, but after my daughter McKenzie's two serious car crashes as a passenger, now I do. Amidst the chaos of traffic, a swarm of horn beeping motorcycles, usually with a passenger, can always be seen weaving across, through, along and even sideways, like water rivulets up and downhill. The Tap Taps cost about 12-25 cents while a getting on the back of a motorcycle, since they can move thru gridlock faster, costs twice that. Why are they called Tap Taps? Before the drivers installed bells to signal stopping, you had to of course tap loudly when you wanted to hop out.
Port au Prince is a city of walls, narrow sidewalks made smaller by street vendors and mini-stores, and wary street wise dogs and children in instinct to avoid all traffic. Either things are shorn up or rebuilding every wall and building, where bougainvillea in white and magenta pours over the security top of broken glass or barbed wire of a hundred variations. I think my favorite street was "Tire street" where no shops exist, just used tires piled 20 high narrow the street and deals are struck. There are also loads of white UN vehicles as there is no army here and only a slowly growing police force. One night we passed a tent city being dismantled after its inhabitants had lived there for over three years post-quake, refugees in their own nation carrying all they could/owned with them. For pics of life outside the gyms we visited, click here.
If you got this far, it is time for a shared secret/new thing I have learned recently, in this case it is two quotes/concepts from my three days speaking at the National Pole Vaulting Summit in Reno last month. Principles are principles, and in this case, that was what the director of the event, who listened to me speak to the Aussies in Arizona last fall, asked me to cover. I came away with these:
Your job as a player is to come to the gym with a smile on your face; my job as coach is to make sure you leave with one.
Never let the pressure of competition get in the way of the pleasure of competition.
The course has gone well, though I have had to press them for less talking and more on the court time. They have had the most passionate discussions of cue words I have ever seen, and then when they play, even just 2 v 2, the arguments resound as if it is a full 12 on 12 brawlette. Power remains limited, but the gym has opened louvered sidewalls and we have plenty of light. At the outside courts I have seen, each are powered by generators, not the city power system. The first practice I worked with the team, they ALL arrived, all 12, in the back of a single pickup.
Other observations shared with the coaches are how well the people carry huge loads on their heads without even holding onto it. The women walk with wonderful posture, grace and dignity and I asked the coaches…did anyone send you to class to do that? Do drills to do it? Hire a coach to teach you how to do it? They laughed and got the point even better that the game teaches the game.
I think the biggest surprise is how hard it is for everyone to change from 1 court to many…it's as if they just don't think it is allowed even for younger kids. So inside the main gym, using the 1.5 inch wide white ribbon from Costco (also easy to buy online, 50 yards for about $12), we strung up 4 courts in half their main gym, and a 4-nets-on-a-rope on the other side and had all 40 coaches playing doubles….and speedball….and fast queens….and wash games…and they started competing. My favorite had to be a variation of "steal the coconuts" scoring (see the minivolley book for that), using just 12 M&Ms, which did not melt on the hot outdoor court, no matter how many times they were swapped from side to side in the battle to win all the chocolate…
The last day was a full one, as always starting with food, then outside we went for several hours, working on the rules, strategies and techniques of both beach volleyball and mini volleyball. Once again, speedball wove its way into their being so active, with not just four, but 16 players playing doubles. It is nice that an international basketball court is 16 meters wide, as you can then put two regulation courts on one, while playing on concrete and not sand. While this is a land where no small part of life revolves around finding and keeping shade, the coaches forgot that it was hot and sunny and played and learned very intensely. Another media interview, lunch, and some time showing USAID workers the gym and training, and before you knew it, it was time for closing ceremonies. Click here to see the Sports United Clinic and training shots I took… (click here) So here is our list of action items from this clinic, has some parallels to many programs around the world and USA
1. Serve and Serve Receive more – over the net, not in front of it
2. Put up 2-4 nets on each full basketball court, and get 100 percent more training. International courts are 16 meters wide, so either a meter short or include the sideline space.
3. Remember the best serve reception drill is receive, set, spike…the best setting drill is receive , set, spike, the best hitting drill is receive, set spike…and the best digging drills are dig, set spike (with thanks as always to Marv Dunphy and Carl McGown)
4. Train positive to perfection, eliminating negative habits
5. More Balls – Can Molten make a more concrete/dirt durable ball, without it being rubber?
6. More leaders – not just coaches
7. More competition – consider going more to 2/3 matches, wave formats, pools of 3 evening completion, players refereeing
While one of my main reasons for being here is to set in motion a program to get a Haitian women's team to the Toronto Para Pan Ams in 2015. After the quake there were thousands of crushed limb injuries. So at my NORCECA Technical/Coaches Commission meetings later this month, we will push for more sitting volleyball in the region. My last morning in Haiti however, I visited an orphanage that a volleyball friend supports. As pictures speak a thousand words, I will let my photos speak to that experience, other than to add that two great friends of volleyball, Lily Richardson with Child in Hand and Bryron Shewman with Starlings USA, are both making a difference with their work in Haiti, both through orphanage and school support. They are making a difference there on the ground every day. Click here for pics of the kids in school (click here).
This also brings back a grassroots idea I created when I did a clinic in El Salvador for the State Department back during that nation's civil war in mid-1980s. The embassy asked me to bring a set of antennas, as the men's national team had a set of antennas but not the women's team, or any other team in the country. They gave me about $75 and I found a donated set of real antennas, then went to Wal Mart and bought 40 bike safety flags. I removed the metal attachment and the orange flag on each. I also asked for bike inner tube discards from the city bike shops, cut them in half, removing the valve in the process, and used the big "bands" from the inner tubes to attach each six foot long antenna to any net. With red permanent markers on the white fiberglass shaft, marking each to alternate red and white on each shaft, I packed the 21 pairs of antennas in a fishing rod transporter tube and was able to give every court/program I worked with, their own antenna set. Now for fast kid friendly antenna solutions, I just spent $2 and get a pair of foam swim noodles from the dollar store and weave them into the net mesh…they may not be perfectly straight but they sure show up that meter above the net to determine in or out as the ball flies! We just filed a state department Sports United grant to return to help 40 coaches from El Salvador and Belize in 2014. It will be interesting to see if any of my antenna creations have lasted the decades…If you are at Jr Nationals in 2014 in Minneapolis, stop any of these coaches and give them a tip or two…they will appreciate it just like these 40 coaches in Haiti…as we grow the game together…

Dennis Fritz
RUGBY Dennis Howard Fritz, 64, of Rugby, went to be home with God on Thursday, April 18, 2013, after an emotional 18-month battle with cancer. He died at home with his family at his side and under the care of hospice.
Dennis was born June 16, 1948, in Dickinson, to Maynard and Inez (Ruf) Fritz. The family lived on his grandfather's ranch near Grassy Butte until Dennis was five years old. He then spent the next 13 years living on a ranch near Bullion Butte, south of Medora. He attended a rural school for two years and then roomed and boarded in Beach until his high school graduation in 1966. Dennis completed his education at Dickinson State College.

His service provided ground deliveries from Rugby to Minot and north to Bottineau, Dunseith, Belcourt, Rolla and Rolette on a daily basis. Although the work hours were long, he loved his customers and was devoted to serving them well. He had an easy smile and a wonderful and contagious laugh. Dennis was a member of First Lutheran Church, enjoyed hunting with his sons in the Medora Badlands and loved cars and motors. He was a proud and loving grandfather.
He is survived by his wife, Elaine, of Rugby; his children, Jason and his wife, Rhonda (Balliet) of Bismarck, Rachel and her husband, Jason Freehauf of West Fargo and Jesse and his wife, Jessica (Schneider) of Rugby; grandchildren, Anja, Ava, Anders, Kristian and Kiefer Fritz; Oakley Eagleson, Riley and Olivia Freehauf; one sister, Ramona (Kent) Dressler of Marshall; brothers-in-law, Robert Strommen, New England, Larry (Doris) Strommen, Dickinson and Kevin Berg; sister-in-law, Roselyn Strommen; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
