Public Transport
Today once again, the Northern Line is in the hands of private industry and we were hoping for more as Virgin took over running this Scotland to London run.
Sadly it is not looking that way. I'm sitting on the Newcastle to London 14.00pm train to Kings Cross, first class. You will notice the screenshot on the left, taken from the Virgin sign-on page which looks for all the world like a re-branded version of that of it's predecessor.
Note that "watch video streaming" is not allowed. I guess this is partly understandable because this uses up a lot of bandwidth – but then, that IS what people do these days – maybe it is time to modernise the creaking train connectivity which does not seem to have improved since it was installed years ago.
What is less understandable is "download large files" – by which they actually mean download ANY files. Dropbox is stone, cold dead, clearly blocked in an age where more and more of us use it for temporary file storage – i.e. for taking files on the road, today's equivalent of the old idea of carrying a memory stuck around (and often losing it – ask the government, they do it all the time). File sharing is of course often used for downloading movies and again I could see that might be an issue – it is also used for transferring legitimate files however. Clearly they don't want people doing business on the train, just as well they're not currently running those deceptive ads showing people sitting comfortably doing business on the train.
Were we in a fixed location it would not matter as many of us have high speed connectivity of our own in our mobile phones which unless you were unfortunate enough to buy an iPhone contract as they tend to charge extra, can easily share a mobile connection with a laptop or tablet. But we're not – and on the Northern run, just as on the A69, signal strength is, well, all too often a joke.
Maybe this is why they keep offering endless amounts of alcohol – to dull the senses so we don't notice the other issues. Due to changing roles within our organisation, this could well be one of my last regular trips to London – I must say, the public transport journey won't be missed.
I'm down here tonight to celebrate a colleague's birthday at a nice Indian near Victoria no doubt and tomorrow morning we have an intense "Vision 2020" meeting, one of those ones with a facilitator and lots of buzzing – and then it's back on the train again home, hopefully I'll get a good shot at my home control development this week.
"Attention crew, disabled passenger alarm operating" – he's probably cut his wrists.
FSB Conference 2015 #FSBConf
When I started my involvement with the FSB (Federation of Small Businesses) nationally – at the FSB's Silver Anniversary, I recall the IT Chairman of the time rewarding my efforts for getting the Conference onto a website (well, no-one else was doing it so I figured the Northeast may as well be the first) by thanking me on stage and getting my name wrong. His name was John Harris and I later got to know John well before eventually taking on his role as IT Chairman.
Two years later I made sure we put our first (pretty small and poor quality) recorded videos onto a website and from there, every year, the (small) IT team which I've headed up for 14 years has put up an increasingly impressive show of technology which last year extended to near HD video recordings.
This year it is all change and for the first time we've live-streamed the conference. The FSB Conference website has lots of info and there's a link to an App with full delegate and speaker information.
We've been at the ICC in Birmingham and it all started Thursday with the exhibition and AGM and from there we had two full days of Conference on Friday and Saturday during which we had key politicians and business speakers including Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg and George Osborne. All were excellent.
The venue was marvellous and for those of us staying at the Regency Hyatt, that is a very modern hotel which is so close to the venue they are actually connected by a glass and steel enclosed bridge.
During our brief visit to Birmingham we've had the opportunity to checkout the various waterways, some great restaurants and bars and generally we've had a great time.
The ICC has a fantastic display system and throughout the event, visitors and our people have made GREAT use of Twitter throughout.
Below we see the library – very impressive looking…
and one of many, many bars around the waterfront
and last but not least – the inside of the hotel

The FSB's Annual Conference #fsbconf at the ICC
We have just had more than our fair share of celebrities at our Annual Conference which this year is being held in the ICC in Birmingham. I arrived on Tuesday and the festivities began yesterday.
This morning started off with George Osborne doing a really good speech about his views on business and what he feels he is doing to help, then we had Nick Clegg and finally Ed Milliband.
This afternoon there's Geoff Birch who I was lucky enough to spend quite some time chatting to this morning about Spanish – he's done a far better job of grasping the language than I have. Very interesting chap.
Anyway, a picture is worth 1000 words and I probably have 1000 pictures – here are just a few.
Met lots of people as this year, David Miles and I volunteered to help out and man the Media Bar and Internet Cafe so everyone heads our way at one point or another. 1000 people in here so it's quite busy.
LED Quick Test
Quick test of the new ESP8266 code for driving the ws2812b LEDs… not far off 2 amps at 5v in at one end – GND and ESP8266 signal other end… fully tested with 300 serial LEDS – this is my next WIFI SAD LIGHT once I find something with enough power and some very thick cable. 70 LEDs here.

USDJPY Daily Forecast: April 12
USDJPY Forecast
The USDJPY was corrected lower yesterday, broke below 84.70 and hit 83.45 earlier today in Asian session. The bias is bearish in nearest term testing 83.00 but note that the major scenario remains bullish and only a consistent move below 82.00 could be a threat to the major bullish outlook. On the upside, immediate resistance at 84.50. A clear break above that area would lead us to neutral zone in nearest term and we need a clear break above 85.00 to end this bearish correction phase retesting 85.90 key resistance area.

In relation to the principle of "less is more", a good tip in designing a logo is to make the message subliminal. This is why a cluttered logo is never effective. People seem to consciously reject a design that has too many details. With a less cluttered and simple logo, the whole mechanism becomes subliminal. When this happens, one has already processed the design before he even has the time to reject it.
If you want custom logo design, always remember that the simpler, the better.
The logo design can make or break a brand. One of the best tips on how to design a logo is to keep the layout clean and clutter free. Designing the logo can be challenging and takes some inspiration as it is a bit hard to find the balance between impact and simplicity. It is the job of a logo designer to come up with a layout that the public can digest in less than second and something that will stick to their mind long after the initial exposure. Logo design
A good logo designer knows that logos for sale need not tell the whole company story. Aside from this being very hard to achieve, attempting to translate every aspect of the business in a graphic when designing the logo can result to a logo design that nobody understands. Most people don't spend more than 2 seconds looking at a logo, even if it is new.
Designing the logo can be dealt with in two ways—it's either you make it obvious or you make it totally irrelevant. If you think about the most successful logos in the world, you'd discover that most of them have a logo design that has absolutely nothing to do with their business. Computer logos, for example, are mostly counterintuitive—at least the most popular ones. Think about the computer logo design of your laptop or PC. The HP logo for example does not rub the public with computer visuals. In fact, the HP logo is among the simplest in the world and is one of the most instantly recognizable. The same is true with other computer logos like the Dell logo.
L KerterOn 1/14/2015 12:00:00 AM
Then there's the legendary Apple logo. The Apple logo is some stuff of legend that every logo designer should aim for. First of all, the company name is genius, which makes the logo design even more effective. The appeal of the emblem lies on the fact that it is a fun design—totally unexpected, absolutely apart from other computer logos, and is associated with something good, tempting, and juicy. It's like there is always something new about the brand and that it will never be out of style.
The logo's irrelevance to the business sends a message that it is not just any other brand of computer and it works like a charm.

Can't speak for the board but what opensuse did was go from trying to satisfy everybody (FAIL) to picking a default (right model). That actually seems to validate what Fedora is doing. The default is different because the community is different. Think about it. Rahul

About meI am disabled, so I live with my parents, and in addition to multiple other ailments, I have OCD. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) I LOVE being able to organize my books on LibraryThing! I am always reading a book, and prefer series to stand-alone novels. Whenever I get a new book in a series, though, I have to start at the beginning and re-read the rest of the series before I can read the new one! :)
About my libraryI use a power wheelchair, and have some trouble with typing, so I was thrilled when I got my CueCat from LibraryThing. I "declawed" it, and have enjoyed scanning in my books.

Chapter 7
Picking up their belongings, the three of them walked for a mile or so without further incident. At one point, they passed a crowd listening to a radio that had been turned on inside of a car that was parked on the street. The announcer was reading off street closures and the location of various fires that were burning throughout the city. In a monotonous voice he explained that experts were now saying that the earthquake had been a 6.5 magnitude that was centered just south of San Francisco. There had been others in the cities history which had been much worse and most of the damage was isolated to the Bay Area and its surrounding communities.
In fact, as they traveled onward the street seemed to grow less and less cluttered with debris. Some of the apartments and houses that they passed were still being occupied. People unconcerned with the possibility of a pending collapse or aftershock stood on their rooftops watching the destruction throughout the rest of the city. Helicopters buzzed overhead.
Dustin told the couple about what Steve had said concerning the Bay Bridge collapse and James stopped to ask a cop about it. The cop, a fat man with the demeanor of an excited sportscaster told them that it was only a section of the upper deck which had caved in on the bottom just like in the 1989 quake. "Not a single fatality!" He finished proudly.
Dustin didn't see anymore bodies and, if he had he wouldn't have used them to distribute his business cards. There had been something too personal in his encounter with the old man and with James and Alexis at his side it seemed overtly morbid. He may have been a funeral director by trade but Dustin tried to keep it between himself and the people that he served. Selling internments while standing in the shadow of a pregnant woman didn't appeal to his nature.
It also didn't help that Alexis and James were perhaps the two nicest people on the face of the earth. Dustin enjoyed their company but also wondered how they could be so buoyant when surrounded by so much misery. He guessed that it could have been the excitement they were feeling about the arrival of their child although he himself didn't remember feeling so optimistic when his own daughter was about to be born. At the time he'd felt scared and he would have been terrified if it had been about to occur now amidst as much chaos as they were in now.
For the third time that morning Dustin remembered his 12-step meeting and almost stopped dead in his tracks. The thought of missing the group and their shared confessions tonight seemed to suck the wind from his lungs. James noticed the change that had come over him and stopped. He set down his garbage bag and took Dustin by the arm.
"Goodness gracious neighbor!" He said slowing him down and forcing Dustin to look him in the eye. "Are you okay?"
Dustin blinked. "Yes." He replied wondering why the man was staring at him so seriously.
"Are you sure?" James asked again a little more firmly.
Dustin nodded. "Yes… why?" He asked hesitantly.
"Well I was just walking along talking to you and you turned white as a sheet." He said seriously. "You're not diabetic are you? I have a brother who's diabetic and he gets that way right before he's about to go into shock."
"No." Dustin said stepping back from his grip. "I guess I was just thinking of everything."
James cocked his head giving him a long look.
"I don't like to be touched." Dustin said.
The man dropped his hand to his side and stood there looking hurt.
"I'm sorry." Dustin continued as he tried to explain. "I know it's rude of me to ask but I don't like being touched. Please don't if I'm not expecting you to do it. It's okay if I know, and I touch people all the time without asking but please just don't grab me without warning."
James grinned. "It's okay!" He said shrugging his shoulders. "Some people are just that way. No need to apologize for the way you are."
Dustin felt relieved that he understood. "Thanks." He replied flashing a weak smile.
"You shouldn't worry about your kitten poster either." James said unexpectedly.
Dustin's smile disappeared. "What?" He asked feeling the blood rushing to his face.
"We saw it when we went up to grab our things and I sort of worried that you might be wondering about what we thought about it." James said without a trace of sarcasm. "I know that you're a private person. Heck, we've never talked as long as we've lived next to one another until this morning!"
Dustin frowned.
"It's not a problem!" James said reaching out to grab his shoulder again. Thinking better of it he paused. Instead he gave the air between them a little wave. "Truth is, Alexis has a T-shirt with that same picture on it. Looking at her wearing it just makes us both so happy!"
From her husband's side Alexis held out the fishbowl. "Oh no!" she said looking down at the glass.
Together they all turned their attention to the fish. Their journey had splashed a good deal of the water from the bowl. The three fish sat gathered in a small puddle at the bottom gasping for breath.
"Whoa there!" James said. "It's a good thing we stopped after all."
Alexis frowned. "We need to find them more water."
Dustin looked around. Across the street a corner grocery sat with its windows busted out and a man sweeping glass in front. Thankful for the chance to break away he walked over. "Are you open?" He asked.
The stores owner looked up, his eyes narrowing. "After this morning?" He answered incredulously. "You've got to be kidding."
Dustin looked inside. The store was a jumbled mess. Potato chip bags and broken pickle jars littered the floor while cans of soda sat split and leaking at the bottom of their coolers.
"Could I just get some water from you?" He asked avoiding the subject of the stores condition.
"Sure." The man smiled. "It's $3.00 for a bottle of water. Good luck finding one in there though."
Dustin sat the bird cage and his luggage down. Slowly he crept inside stepping over items which had been toppled from their displays. Walking back to the darkened wall of coolers at the far end of the shop he found one which contained water. The shelves had come unhinged so that the plastic bottles rested at an angle and on top of one another.
Dustin hesitated. "I can't pay you now." He called back to the man out front.
"Then you can't have any water buddy." The man said. He was a large man. At least six and a half feet tall with an enormous stomach that forced the Black Sabbath T-Shirt that he was wearing up over his belly-button. . He looked like an ogre as he stood watching Dustin through the window a hand propped casually on the handle of the broom.
"Look." Dustin said turning. "I don't have any cash on me. If you've got a way to run a credit card without power then I could pay you that way."
The man shook his head. "Not going to happen. I don't accept credit cards for purchases under five dollars anyway."
Dustin sighed. "Then fine, I'll buy two bottles of water."
The man leaned the broom against the broken window and stepped into the store. "I can't run your credit card without power dude and things are just too crazy this morning for me to even care about doing an imprint." He said as he stood just inside the doorway. "Just leave the water where it is and get the hell out."
Dustin turned defiantly and opened the case pulling out a still cold bottle of water. As he did so, several more spilled out onto the floor creating a loud racket as the shelving they'd sat on resituated itself by falling back into the storeroom behind.
"Put it back." The man growled.
Putting the water into his gym bag Dustin turned and walked to the doorway. He stood before the man that was blocking it. "How about I give you my business card?" He asked trying to make a final compromise.
"Dude." The store's owner sighed. "You're just too much. Put the water back."
"Fine!" Dustin spat.
They were standing beside the counter at the front of the store. Dustin locked eyes with the owner as he angrily yanked the bottle from his bag and slammed it down on it's surface. "There!" He said.
The man smiled.
Dustin pushed past him back onto the street where he grabbed the birds and his suitcase before marching over to his friends.
James read the expression on his face. "What happened over there to make you so mad?" He asked.
Dustin turned pointing towards the stores owner who now stood watching them on the sidewalk from across the street. "That guy wouldn't let me take a bottle of water from his store." He huffed. "He wanted three dollars cash which I didn't have even though I offered to pay him with my credit card."
"Oh." James said looking concerned. "Well, I guess he can't run a credit card without power."
"That's beside the point!" Dustin protested. "People are supposed to help one another out during times like these. I don't understand why he couldn't just let me take it."
James smiled. "It's okay! I've got three dollars. If you want some water then I could get it for you. Heck, it's the least I could do since you're giving us a ride out to Alexis's moms place and all."
Dustin shook his head. "Don't give that guy any of your money." He fumed. "All I was trying to do was help out with the fish."
Together both James and Alexis laughed.
Dustin gave them a quizzical look.
"You don't need to worry about that!" James said putting an arm around his wife. "We already got water."
Alexis held the fishbowl out to show him. It was nearly full. The three fish inside were swimming happily around in tiny little circles.
"How?" Asked Dustin.
Alexis answered. "We used that leaky fire hydrant over there." She said pointing to a spot just a little ways from where they stood. "It was a gift from God!"
Dustin turned to regard it. The cap was partially unscrewed causing a slow trickle of water to drizzle out. He wondered how he'd missed it before.
"Do you still want a water?" James asked taking out his billfold.
Dustin shook his head. "No thanks."
The three of them carried on.

To be sure, Windows 8 was a significant departure from all previous Windows iterations, abandoning the "Start" menu was a huge gamble. Microsoft is all-in with the new user experience though.
The blogosphere was filling up with comparisons of Windows 8 to that horrific spawn referred to as Windows Vista. As many of us had used Windows 8 and Windows RT, as well as upgraded several older machines to the new OS, we really cannot make such a leap.
Judging by general ratings accumulated on Amazon, it would seem most other people do not make that leap either. To be sure, Windows 8 is not as well liked as Windows 7, but it has not attracted the loathing that Windows Vista went out of its way to earn.
While this observation of ratings on Amazon is not a blind-scientific survey, there are some interesting revelations to be made from it. For one thing, in just the first few months of its release, Windows 8 has gathered more overall reviews than Windows 7 has over the past three-plus years. Love it or hate it, the evolution of Windows is of great interest to just about anyone that has ever used a PC, or more recently, a tablet.

On the article Stirling states:
"For years I tried many different types of electric violins and refused to play any of them until I played the Yamaha Silent Violin," said Stirling. "The clean sound is warm, not shrill or piercing, especially with a touch of reverb. It allows me to use my musicality by capturing a wide range of dynamics. Not only does it sound great, but it also has a sleek, fun, customizable look. Personally, I used rhinestones on mine."
She can be seen playing the violin on the same article.

In this article Stirling states that she used to use the L.R. Baggs pickup:
"My first electric violin was a cheap Yamaha - it was terrible! I eventually purchased an acoustic Roth violin, which I LOVE, and started using an LR Baggs pickup. Honestly, I feel like the amplified acoustic violins get the better sound."

In an interview for Monsters and Critics, Lindsey Stirling has said, "I stopped using the Roth during my live performances because I sweat so much when I perform (eeeew lol!) and the excess moisture was starting to ruin the wood. So I purchased a Luis and Clark carbon fiber violin and have been using it for my live performances ever since. I also used it in my latest YouTube video collaboration with Pentatonix."

Lindsey Stirling is featured here in the YouTube video (around 1:12) for her rendition of "Phantom of the Opera".
Lindsey Stirling has said on the Wood Violins website: "The Viper Violin is definitely the most rockin' violin I have ever played. Stepping on stage with a violin that cool makes a statement before even a single note is played. Along with having a beautiful edgy look, the Viper has a clean and round sound that can beautifully cut through a loud mix. In my opinion, it is even comparable to an amplified acoustic which is extremely hard to find in any electric sound."

Medication Assistance Program (MAP)
Sign up with Deb for the Medication Assistance Program
MAP - Medication Assistance Program
Marillac Clinic offers a Medication Assistance Program (MAP) to provide assistance to patients applying for ongoing prescription medications from pharmaceutical companies free of charge.
Patients can meet with our MAP techs to complete applications only after the provider writes the prescription for the medication. It is the patient's responsibility to make an MAP appointment to begin the application process. A small fee of $5 is required for each application.
Schedule Your MAP Appointment: 298-1782
- Schedule a 10-15 minutes PRE-SCREEN APPOINTMENT. We will explain the program and process
- Return application for processing
- MAP technician will call patient for appointment to sign application
- Medication arrives at clinic and patient will receive letter to come by and pick up their medication
Frequently Asked Questions:
Are all my prescriptions available from MAP?
No. Only selected medications are available. The pharmaceutical companies determine the medications offered.
Why do you ask for pay stubs and tax returns?
Some company programs ask for copies of your most recent tax return or most recent month pay stubs as proof of income in order to meet the program guidelines.
I enrolled for the first time 2 months ago and received a letter telling me it is time to renew my medication. I thought my enrollment was good for 1 year. Why am I being asked to do a renewal?
The enrollment is good for 1 year. Income documentation is submitted annually but the company only ships a 3 month supply and we need your permission to reorder the medication for you. This requires an application and new prescription from your provider.

Travel Blogs from Oaxaca
Amigos del Sol...
My first day of Spanish classes - The fifteen minute walk was beautiful. It is mostly a downhill and then flat trip that passes our local panederia (bread shop) around the corner, a dead end street with a small lime tree followed by series of stairs, pedestrian only/mostly areas with amazing stonework, a beautiful park called Jardin Conzatti and then a nice stroll through one of the bigger parks in the city called El Llano/Paseo ...
Mercados, Mercados!
Although there are little Miscellanea shops and corner convenience stores on every other block as well as large, modern supermarkets, the real place to shop is at the mercado -- the market. In downtown Oaxaca alone there are eight established mercados that operate every day. And then there are the small barrio and couple-day-a-week markets. The mercados are everywhere. And there you can find the most wonderful fruits and vegetables. ...
Thoughts on language, culture, kids and leaving
... the the person in line so there was no confusing. But this sense of personal space does not have to do with a sense of urgency or rudeness. It really comes from a sense of closeness that people have with each other. Homies hanging out arm in arm, kids and babies being held and cared for by the general populace. There is just more touch down here.
OF course there is less space in the houses, more people in each house, and sometimes the touch is ...

Well, we have survived our first week of language school ! My brain thoroughly hurts and I feel that I have regressed in my Spanish speaking skills! Not quite the truth -I had no skills to begin with. What Donny and I are learning is the unlearning of poor Spanish is twice as hard as learning the language with a clean slate. For this reason, we are grateful that our children have brains like sponges and are absorbing ...

It helps with anxiety

Anxiety is caused by fear. This product helps with this kind of emotion. I even gave it to a friend of mine who had just had a panick attack on Christmas day, and after that she was able to calm down and enjoy the rest of the day.

I find this very helpful in relieving anxiety and nervous issues. If you already take a low dose of Xanax for anxiety, this can be an alternative. I find it works, but it has to build up in your system; not as quick as a drug. It seems to help me not to take some many pills.

"Stay Milenio 30 Jun - 3 July 2014"
I stayed in the apartment with a 23 year old Autistic young man. Everything was at hand and we ate out every night. However the apartment is very well equipped with everything you could need to stay in, if you so wished. It is quite a steep walk up the hill but we enjoyed the exercise, about half an hour to the coast by foot. Everyday we went to the beach at Cabopino which is about a five minute drive, stopping for "big boys" breakfast on the way. Overall an excellent stay
"Good price/quality, good situatuon and access to the apartement"
We hired this for a week in meaning to look around if we could stay in future years some longer winter period in the area. It was important to me and my wife that the place would be easy to access from different directions, the flat would be easy to get in (lift and parking under the house), it would have enough space and a terrace with a free wiev (we are bird watchers) and have a free wifi. This one fitted for all our requirements also in practice! We also injoyed the slightly modern style. We enjoy of making food by ourselves and there was relly enough equipments for that (but we also wisited the nearby Miraflores golf club for some good meals). There were a lot of large shops within short reach by car. We were the first Finns and it seems to be, that the British and Finnish bankin habit do not totally fit (I have not sen a bond cheque for more than over 10 years until now) but till the end everything went fine and reliable. The ownwrs were very helpful.
"A Fabulous apartment, a perfect base for exploring and relaxing"
We couldn't fault this holiday.We only booked 10 days but as soon as we arrived wish we had booked 14!! It was a cracking apartment, plenty of space and superb decor. We travelled with our two sons (11&13) after doing the a few large all inclusive holiday we weren't sure how we would get on with this type of holiday.We needn't have worried. The owner was extremely helpful and the booking process was dead easy. The Milenio apartments are set in some lovely well kept gardens. The pool area was well kept, clean and private. It's the first time for a long time we've gone down to the pool at 11am and found some free sunbeds. We didn't really use the gym but made full use of the Table tennis table. The fridge by the pool was ideal for our drinks. The kids made full use of the free WiFi in the apartment, chilling out with their iPods. We had planned on eating out most of the time but the apartment was so well equipped that most evenings we would just cook or get a takeaway (Pappadoms Indian restaurant we thoroughly recommend). A car is advisable if you stay at these apartments. There is a rank of shops, supermarkets and restaurants in close proximity which are in walking distance but its a very hilly walk. To top it all the weather was superb and we found some lovely beaches and places to visit nearby,our favourites being Peublo de Cala Mijas and Peurto Banus. Gibralter is also well worth a visit (a 90 min car drive) Would definitely recommend and are seriously considering booking again for next year.
"Great place, Fantastic Pool, Good Location"
The Apartment is fantastic, very modern and clean, very well equipped. Excellent air-co. LCD TV and WIFI. underground parking, nice gardens and pool. My kids loved to play ping-pong by the pool. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location is really good, among all costa del sol attractions. A car is a must though. The booking was very easy and John is really helpfull. We are already planning our next stay there. There are few super-markets and good restaurants nearby, and the beaches down the hill are really lovely Great place for kids !!.
"Fantastic apartment would definately go again"
We arrived mid August for a fortnight and found the apartment and facilities to be fantastic. The apartment was very clean and tidy and had all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. I would definately advise getting a hire car as we did a lot of walking. The apartment booking process was very straight forward and after being slightly worried about booking online was pleased to be contacted by a very friendly owner.
"Lovely modern apartment in well maintained complex ideally located for visiting the many attractions of the area."
The apartment was clean and modern with a fully equipped kitchen with all mod cons. The huge terrace was a massive bonus where we enjoyed our breakfast in the morning sun and the cool breeze in the evenings with a glass of sangria. Bliss! There is an underground car park which was very secure and where you'll also find the gym which we took advantage of on a couple of occasions. The gardens around the swimming pool are beautiful and so peaceful. The pool is lovely with only a handful of people and plenty of beds providing a very relaxing setting. There is also a pond with terrapins. You couldn't help getting the feeling that you were staying in an upmarket complex that was very well cared for. For evening food and entertainment, you can walk to the Miraflores Golf Club which is only 5 mins walk away and a little bit further away are some bars, restaurants and supermarket where you can get everything you need. We found a very cheap breakfast at @connect which was only 3.50 euros and very good value for those days when you just don't feel like making something yourself. A little bit further away, about 5 min drive there are more bars and restaurants and 2 supermarkets by the beach. While we were here, we visited Cabopino which is a lovely little marina a short drive away where there are more restaurants and a beach. There is also another lovely beach at La Cala. Further afield we visited the spectacular town of Ronda and the villages of Casares and Gaucin and stayed overnight in the beautiful city of Granada, visiting El Torcal National Park on the way back with its rock formations and birds of prey. All well worth a visit! Overall we had a fab time at this accommodation. The owner was very helpful answering our queries before we arrived and we had no problems at all. It's location is perfect for visiting all the attractions of the Costa del Sol and the surrounding countryside.and would definitely recommend.

This post is exactly what I am looking for. My family and I leave today to head to Chattanooga. I called yesterday to inquire and the lady with the state said most places that are off limits are posted. I know we will be hitting the aquarium and several of the other tourist spots. We are also going to a fireworks show at "the river". We dont drink but plan to do some pretty fine eating while we are there. Any suggestions. Do any of these places throw redflags.
In Chattanooga, you must go by the Choo Choo downtown and eat at The Station House. It is housed in an old building that use to hold the luggage when the trains ran. It is very good food, and all the waiters and waitresses sing on the stage while you wait. Its a must see for the out-of-towners.
check out gunlaws.us for the exact list of laws,
but as far as where u will be going- any restaraunt/bar isnt a problem, but any place that is posted (correct wording OR the circle-slash symbol) is legit.
lots of places in gatlinburg and pidgeon forge are posted, as its so touristy.
having said taht, make sure to check out riply aquarium. its awesome (but is posted).
pretty sure dollywood is as well

Top 5 Vegan Things to Do (and Eat) in Orange County
An array of vegan eateries is proving that the OC is more than surf, sand, and Disneyland.
Orange County is the land of the infamous housewives, Disneyland, and that too-cool-for-school laid-back surfer vibe. Yes, this coastal Californian county comes with its share of stereotypes, but it also offers a diverse plant-based culture far beyond its narrow portrayal on reality TV. There is no need to brave the rush-hour traffic for the well established vegan scene in Los Angeles, as the OC has plenty of vegan-friendly food and activities … if you know where to look. Here are five things to do and eat from a local's perspective.
1. Explore Laguna Beach and grab an açaí bowl
Laguna Beach is one of Orange County's most famous cities, thanks to an eclectic mix of art, surf culture, shopping, hiking trails, and stunning views. Park on Cliff Drive near Diver's Cove and take the footpath south that weaves along the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Pass Main Beach and cross the street to walk along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). You can meander in and out of the streets to visit the local art galleries and clothing shops, but be sure to stop by Banzai Bowls on PCH for a mouthwatering açaí or pitaya bowl. Get it to go, cross the street toward the beach at Oak, head down the stairs, find a rock on which to sit, and savor the goodness as you soak up the sun and watch the surfers ride the waves.
2. See a show and enjoy a cupcake
Orange County has a handful of theaters, but only one is located just blocks from Cupcake Wars-winning vegan cupcakes. Lesli Lonergan of Two Birds Baking Co. sells her vegan (and often gluten-free) treats out of another Cupcake Wars-winning cupcakery, Hapa Cupcakes, in downtown Fullerton (note: Hapa's cupcakes are not vegan). Lonergan's cupcakes are displayed in a scrumptious tower comprised of numerous flavors from which to choose, such as Death by Chocolate (a must), Red Velvet Oreo, Cinnamon Donut, and a variety of seasonal flavors. Once you make your cupcake selection, head over to the Maverick Theater for a night of entertainment. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance because this theater is tiny!
3. Bike and brunch
Want to blend in like a local? Rent a beach cruiser from Ray's Rentals in Newport Beach ($10 for a half-day), and follow this route to Alta Coffee—a casual local spot just off the hectic main drag—where you can sit down to a terrific cup of coffee and a hearty vegan brunch. Although Alta is not exclusively vegan, they have one of the best tofu scrambles in town, and they offer both almond and soy milk. For less than $9, customers get a large portion of tofu veggie scramble; two slices of thick, perfectly toasted bread with homemade jam; and a cup of seasonal fresh fruit. After brunch, bike back to Ray's, completing your five-mile leisurely trek, or continue north on the bike trail toward Huntington Beach.
4. Indulge in some "Healthy Junk"
If you're visiting Orange County, Disneyland is a must. Although the park tickets aren't cheap, you can save some cash by grabbing lunch or dinner at Healthy Junk, a vegan quick-service restaurant just a few miles from the happiest place on earth. Besides its proximity to Disneyland, the restaurant is a standout because the menu is extensive, with items such as salads, chili fries, nachos, pizzas, and burgers. For the health-conscious, you can't go wrong with the Mighty Kale or Cobb salads.
5. Shop, dine, and drink
Those looking for The O.C. experience should don their most fashionable apparel and oversized sunglasses for a day of shopping at Fashion Island. This outdoor mall is a hub for posh retailers, luxury cinemas, and trendy eateries. Stop by Pressed Juicery for a green juice, try on the latest fashions at one of the major department stores or designer boutiques, and sample all the ethically-made cosmetics at Lush (look for the "vegan" sticker, since not all of their products are). Once you've shopped up an appetite, drive a few miles on PCH to Gratitude. This plant-based restaurant focuses on healthy, organic, and locally-sourced ingredients, and offers a cool vibe with its airy patio and affirmation-themed dishes. Feeling adventurous? Don't even bother looking at the menu; just tell your server that you are "Fierce, Committed, and Stunning." Your meal will not disappoint!

We love how trim and absorbent these diapers are, they are nice and narrow between the legs so fit easily into the creases of the leg without the inserts bunching. I love the double waist snap and the hip snap, it's like 6 tiny padlocks for poop! The new Funky Fluff Lux in Athletic Wicking Jersey is our new favourite, nice a stretchy and the trimest of them all (compared to Stay Dry & Bamboo)
I have tried many brands of cloth diapers and this is by far my favorite. They are incredibly trim, very absorbent (my favorite being the bamboo). The stretch on them is perfect and I never get leaks. They fit my toddler who is constantly running around and my newborn who is itty bitty. The colours are beautiful, and the names of the patterns and colours are so clever. The best part is that it has the most amazing and supportive online community and the owners are very involved. I would recommend any mom who wants to try cloth give this brand a go.
Very cute patterns, love the trim bamboo inserts and the hip snaps to keep diaper wings from sagging

Another Advice post...
Here's my situation and request for advice.
215 pounds, size 10.5 boot, 30 days on the snow in the last two seasons after growing up on skis. Learned to board at Mammoth 10 years ago while stationed in San Diego, and been off the snow until I became the faculty advisor for the local college alpine/snowboarding club team where I teach. I'm a 43 year old male, been riding in the US mid atlantic area (PA, WV, MD) while accompanying our alpine ski and snowboard team. Squarely an intermediate rider who is still mastering the fundamentals of being dynamic, bending the knees, getting comfortable with speed, and staying stacked over the board. I'm generally ok at dynamic skidded turns and I can probably carve a little in the right conditions. I cannot ride the steep bumps smoothly (I tend to "shop for my turns" and its aggravating. I can get down, but not on a smooth line. I find a steep groomer is a blast, and have only been in powder one time (and it kicked my ass, though I can see the appeal, I think). My park interest is in the smaller jumplines and ride on features, with some intent to progress to being able to 180. I've not tried to pop onto anything, and definitely still working on being comfortable in the air off any sort of kicker (park or terrain).
I have been riding a 2011/2012 Rome Anthem 161 with what Rome calls Hybrid Ripit Camber, which looks to me like Camber with lifted tips, or maybe an RCR with a larger Camber section that ends outside the bindings. Although I have no other real data points, it seems to like the dynamic skidded/basic carves, it's fast, and has some pop in and out of turns, and is pretty stiff but damps out the chatter well. I've been pretty pleased on the east coast hardpack and the times it's thrown me have been rider error for sure.
Here's the issue. Relocating this summer to the Pac NW (Seattle) for the long haul. Going back to grad school for a year as I transition out of the military, so should get some good time on the snow next season, probably calling Stevens my new home mountain, although I've got family in Portland and Bend, so plan on seeing Hood and Bachelor (and hopefully Whistler and Baker) pretty regularly over the next decade or so. I grew up near White Pass and would love to get back there to see the new back area they recently opened up with new lodges and high speed lifts.
So, in light of my new riding environment and in hopes of expanding my skills, I am looking to add to my "quiver" if you can call two a quiver. I'd like something softer than my Anthem and more friendly to learning the ground tricks while slowly progressing in the park/jumplines, capable of groomers (because I'm going to be on some sort of groomer nearly everytime I go to the mountain, I think), but also powder friendly (assuming I'll see more of that in the NW than on the east coast). I also find riding switch seems difficult on my Anthem (though admittedly I don't practice enough) and I'd like to do that in conjunction with learning to butter/spin/180's to increase my options for having fun on the snow which means a twin or asymetrical twin, maybe. Given all that, some overlap with my current board is probably inevitable.
I'm thinking about a Camber-Rocker-Camber board. I'm not stuck on any specific brand, but I like that Gnu is handbuilt in the NW (Park Pickle or Riders Choice, probably), and I like the looks of the Arbor line in general, or I could get another Rome or NS deck, and I'm definitely ok with buying this years models as opposed to the cutting edge 2014s. I'll hopefully eventually get to the point where I can appreciate and take advantage of cutting edge, but for now, a discounted 2013 board is just fine. On the binding front, I've got Rome Mobs (not the Boss or 390, just straight Mobs) on the anthem, and they seem just a bit soft (plus the forward lean adjustment screw is gone on one of them), so I'm looking for an upgraded set of bindings as well, which is another thread, but might tell you about my riding experience thus far.
So it's time for the sanity check. Reasonable to add a new board? I could see bringing two to the mountain most days. I've ready through the 17 pages in this thread, and look forward to any feedback/advice.

To listen to the interview, click on this MP3 file link
Interview Time Index (MM:SS) and Topic
Bob, thank you for sharing your deep experiences with our audience.
"….Thank you for the opportunity. I'd like to say I've done a lot of things in my life. Master of none, but a whole lot of information to share with you I hope…."
When I listen to your colleagues they say you are the ultimate guru on the global stage. Can you give us a little background?
"….If you look at my background I'm one of those folks who has had one foot in different worlds. I started off in Line of Business IT organization many years ago….Then I morphed into enterprise and then I had my own business. I tend to look at things very differently…. "
What is the state of enterprise security spend and why should this change?
"….The easiest way to respond is today enterprise security spend is reactive, it's 'whack-a-mole'….What you find is that historically, security spend has been a reaction to a breach….The problem is that's not sustainable as you move outside your firewall…."
Are the days of large central IT organizations numbered and why are they numbered?
"….I think what we're going to see within 5 to 8 years is there is always going to be a need for some type of a central IT function that provides core services…."
I guess there is a lot of churn amongst people who work in the IT shops around the world as they are seeing this movement from the large central organizations as it will have some impact on jobs, etc. Can you comment?
"….I think the IT shops that have the highest probability of surviving are going to be the ones who are closest to their business. I challenge people who listen to this podcast to go out and ask the question: How many CIOs in their organization have been career IT people rather than people who have been rotated in from other parts of the business to get the CIO experience and then they move on to something else?…."
What are your feelings about enterprise architecture and aligning IT with business, etc, and is enterprise architecture becoming more important, and do you see that role of the enterprise architect expanding in some way?
"….I don't see them reporting directly to the CEO, but I could see them reporting to the CFO….Chances are that whatever they might be working on would ultimately impact the bottom line of the company…."
What are your thoughts on Big Data and what are the problems with Big Data?
"….What I'm looking for is a chief data architect's perspective on Big Data because Big Data is going to sell a lot of software and a lot of professional services….The fundamental question I keep going back to with Big Data is that it is about the data, and some of the challenges that a lot of companies have never confronted even within their firewall is data ownership and data stewardship. The question is who owns this record?…"
What are the government policy implications on Cloud Ecosystems?
"….There are probably six or seven considerations when I look at government Cloud policy that make for interesting discussions….Security and it involves things like privacy….Competition and Standards….Bandwidth….Sovereignty….Copyright….I keep telling people security is an issue for Cloud but it isn't THE issue, particularly if you are a large multi-national company or you want to do business worldwide…."
In your work you see this different marriage between different domains from business to software and hardware. Where does business, software and hardware begin and end?
"….Once you start influencing the large eco-system, it's like anything, it involves change….People and organization's ability to change strike me as being one of the biggest challenges as we move forward…."
What do you foresee as some of the truly disruptive technology forces for the next five years and why are these your choices?
"….I see Cloud as being one of the most disruptive only because companies still haven't figured out what it is….How that plays out is that it's the company's ability to look at the new model and figure out whether it can or can't reduce costs, and then adapt the organization to that….I think another disruptive force (I don't feel as comfortable with the term disruptive as with the term game-changing), I see some of the things we are doing with these multi-core chips as potentially changing everything…."
What bleeding edge technologies are you working with?
"….There probably was a time when you could impress people with what we call 'speeds and feeds', those days are done I believe. The question always comes back to 'what does it do to improve my business and how much does it cost?' That's probably where I'm most focused right now…."
From your extensive background, what are the top challenges facing the world today, and counter to that, what do you see as the top opportunities facing the world today?
"….I think that the technologies are evolving faster than the people and the policy can adapt….The number 2 challenge is today companies are understandably focused on revenue. How do we shift from being worried about revenue to actually building and making something?….The capability is there to connect the world in a way that's never been done before. Once you get connected there are incredible opportunities, but at the same time the other thing that I fear is that sometimes it is too easy not to get up and meet somebody — you lose the personal touch or interaction and that's the flipside of this connectivity…."
From your prior roles, share some key lessons or best practices?
"….You always have to balance your pragmatism with the excitement….The other thing is I always try to keep a sense of humour….There's always going to be something more difficult than what you think you are experiencing now…."
Describe some areas of controversy in the areas that you work.
"….This question about sovereignty that I mentioned earlier can be controversial, but obviously you try to avoid that level of detail…."
Do you feel computing should be a recognized profession on par with accounting, medicine and law with demonstrated professional development, adherence to a code of ethics, personal responsibility, public accountability, quality assurance and recognized credentials?[See www.ipthree.org and the Global Industry Council, http://www.ipthree.org/about-ip3/global-advisory-council]
"….I don't think it would be a bad thing, but I think it would be a pretty heavy lift….I'd like it to be done I just don't think it's going to happen near my lifetime…. "
From his extensive speaking, travels, and work, Robert shares some stories (something amusing, surprising, unexpected, amazing).
"….Think big, act small and I've also added move fast, because all of that ensures you are going to get funding for next year…."
If you were conducting this interview, what would you ask, and then what would be your answer?
"….Where is the IT profession going, and how is it getting there, and what's going to be happening to the profession are things which are foremost on my mind right now…."
What are your top resources?
"….Generally I look at stuff coming from TOGAF and Zachman….Gartner….Some LinkedIn groups….IEEE…."
Bob, with your demanding schedule, we are indeed fortunate to have you come in to do this interview. Thank you for sharing your deep experiences with our audience.
