Happy New Year! As we kick off 2012, I'd like to reflect on what was accomplished during the past year in the "trusted data" areas of master data management (MDM), data quality (DQ), and data governance and consider what we might expect in the year to come. I also hear quite a bit of noise from vendors and analysts alike about what they want the MDM market to be in 2012, so I wanted to share my thoughts on what's real and what (in my opinion) remains hype.
I also just completed Forrester's December 2011 Global MDM Survey of 274 MDM professionals. While the majority of those results will be shared in the annual MDM Trends research that I'll be publishing later in Q1, here's a taste of some of the intriguing results.
Let's first reflect on what I've witnessed from my clients' MDM journeys throughout 2011:
Posted by Rob Karel on December 13, 2011
In October, my colleague Brian Hopkins published Forrester's extremely popular enterprise architecture (EA) trends research, the Top 10 Business Technology Trends EA Should Watch: 2012 to 2014. As in past iterations of this research, master data management (MDM), along with the data governance capabilities required to support it, remain among the top technology strategies that enterprise architects expect to deliver the most business value to their firms, as well as require the most change to their firm's technology landscape over the next three years.
In 2009, the anticipated trend around MDM was that it was going to significantly mature both from a technology and architecture standpoint, but also in the skills, best practices, and methodologies used to effectively deliver MDM capabilities. I believe that the maturity of MDM practitioners has in fact increased significantly over the past two years. In August, I published a report titled Master Data Management: Customer Maturity Takes A Great Leap Forward, which analyzed about 175 MDM- and data governance-related client inquiries Forrester received between January 2010 and June 2011. The crux of that research was to demonstrate that our clients are asking much more practical and insightful questions about MDM architectures, best practices, strategies, governance, and vendor selection than in years past.
Brian's EA trends report identifies two specific trends around data management and governance:
Posted by Rob Karel on October 28, 2011
Most master data management (MDM), data quality, and accompanying data governance efforts prioritize customer, account, and product data over all others. Certainly, industry-specific exceptions exist; for example, energy, utility, and oil and gas companies place a high priority on asset and location data domains, while investment management firms prioritize securities. But exceptions aside, a recent Forrester survey of 298 business process management (BPM) and MDM professionals across industries found that 83% prioritized customer data, 61% product data, and 53% account data. And coming in at 44%, the next highest priority: the red-headed stepchild of the MDM "party" (pun intended — apologies for that), employee data!
It's no surprise that customer/account and product data-centric MDM programs get the lion's share of funding, executive sponsorship, and prioritization within most organizations. This data is the lifeblood of your customer engagement and supply/distribution chain, with quantifiable impacts to both top- and bottom-line success, and can be positioned as a major competitive differentiator. But even more relevant, those MDM efforts are often driven by sales, marketing, finance, operations, or risk management functional organizations — all of which are typically better funded than many human resource (HR) teams, especially when it comes to IT budgeting. Of course, this isn't always the case, and many large enterprises spend millions of dollars optimizing their HR systems infrastructure. Applications supporting learning management, performance and talent management, recruiting, time and attendance, benefits administration, compensation planning and analysis, and organizational charting and employee directories all require high-quality employee and organizational data.
Posted by Rob Karel on August 5, 2011
Data management and BI professionals often feel pressure from senior management to propose and start implementing master data management (MDM), data quality, data warehousing, business intelligence (BI), analytics or other data management strategies quickly, without time to perform the necessary due diligence. These "fire drill" strategy sessions may arise as a reaction to a compelling event like a compliance or regulatory action, the need to support better management planning and decision-making during economic struggles, or even by the arrival of a new senior executive (e.g., CEO, CIO, CFO, COO, CMO) looking to make their mark on the organization by driving this strategy.
Unfortunately the program drivers on the hook to deliver these catch-up strategy planning initiatives tend to disregard many best practices in the process. Can you blame them? Many of them have been the organizational evangelists that have fought for months – or even years – to get sponsorship and investment to deliver these solutions. When that support finally arrives, they'd be crazy to turn it away just because the timelines are a bit aggressive, right? Well yes, they should push back if the solution they're building will not:

I was recently chatting with Jim Harris, the well-respected blogger-in-chief of the Obsessive-Compulsive Data Quality blog, about one of our favorite topics: data governance best practices. Our conversation migrated to one of data governance's biggest challenges: how to balance bureaucracy and business agility.
So Jim and I thought it would be fun to tackle this dilemma in a Star Wars-themed debate across each of our individual blog platforms, with Jim taking the position for "Agility" as the Rebellion and me taking the opposing position for "Bureaucracy" as the Empire.
Note: Yes, most conversations between self-proclaimed data geeks tend to result in Star Wars or Star Trek parallels . . . and I lost the coin toss. Thankfully, I found StarWars.com to help me with some of my rusty Star Wars facts!
Disclaimer: Remember, this is meant to be a true debate format, where Jim and I are intentionally arguing polar opposite positions with full knowledge of the reality that data governance success requires effectively balancing bureaucracy and agility.
Please take the time to read both of our blog posts, then we encourage your comments — and your votes (see the poll below).
Let us begin . . .

I recently received a client inquiry that I see flavors of a few times per quarter. The client said that they are trying to explore ways to establish information value within their enterprise. Because people often frame data and information as an asset, then shouldn't we be able to establish its value?
What I share with my clients is that trying to place a monetary value on data and information itself is a red herring, an effort that I highly recommend all avoid – unless you enjoy philosophical exercises that don't translate to actual business value. (Apologies to those that fit in this camp — have fun!)
The "data is an asset" rhetoric doesn't translate to putting a monetary value on a customer record, as an example, because data in and of itself has no value! The only value data/information has to offer — and the reason I do still consider it an "asset" at all — is in the context of the business processes, decisions, customer experiences, and competitive differentiators it can enable.
For example, a customer record doesn't have value unless you can sell, market, or service that customer. So for each customer record, many customer intelligence analysts calculate lifetime value scores, the potential share of wallet available, the customer's propensity to buy certain products and services, and even the cost of servicing the customer. But that doesn't put a value on the customer record itself: It places the value based on the sales, marketing, and service processes the data supports. And that's where the data value should live: in the consuming processes.

March 6, 2011 marked my five-year anniversary with Forrester Research — and as an industry analyst. Back in 2006 I made a pivotal career decision and decided to depart the end user world where I spent almost 15 years across multiple organizations fighting the good fight building data management solutions that delivered trusted data to the people, processes, and systems that needed it. Amazing to me that I graduated college as a finance major with no IT experience and at the time wouldn't have known a database if it crashed right in front of me.
For my first job out of school, I worked in Newark, NJ, for six years with Thomson Financial Services (TFS) on its Global Mergers & Acquisitions database product, eventually taking on the role of research manager for that product. In that time I foolishly thought I was gaining M&A expertise, but in reality I was learning how to ensure that the data about these M&A transactions was of the highest quality because data at TFS is not just an asset — it's its product. To accomplish this, I had to became very proficient with this random programming language called SQL, which I assumed was some niche thing and most likely irrelevant beyond TFS (remember: finance major!). Still being the days of green-screened dummy terminals before the PC and GUI revolution, learning SQL was an incredible eye-opener.

For the second year in a row, Forrester Research has targeted master data management (MDM) as one of the highest-impact technologies that enterprise architects must keep an eye on. Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst Gene Leganza published "The Top 15 Technology Trends EA Should Watch: 2011 To 2013" research in October, and Gene smartly positions MDM along with next-gen business intelligence, advanced text and social analytics, and information-as-a-service integration architectures as key enablers to deliver what Forrester is calling "process-centric data and intelligence".
I've discussed this concept of process-led data management often over the past few years, and went into detail in my July blog post, "Data Governance Remains Immature: Increase Focus On Business Process To Build Momentum," where I offered a critical call to arms that all MDM, data quality, and data governance evangelists must embrace:
Data governance is not – and should never have been – about the data. High-quality and trustworthy data sitting in some repository somewhere does not in fact increase revenue, reduce risk, improve operational efficiencies, or strategically differentiate any organization from its competitors. It's only when this trusted data can be delivered and consumed within the most critical business processes and decisions that run your business that these business outcomes can become reality. So what is data governance all about? It's all about business process, of course.

As a lifelong Yankees fan (which makes me a pariah with many of my Red Sox Country-based Forrester coworkers in Cambridge, Mass.), I've been following with amusement the sports media frenzy around the New York Yankees' "not-so-public yet not-so-private" contract negotiations with their star shortstop, Derek Jeter. While I read these news snippets with the intent of escaping the exciting world of data management for just a brief moment, I couldn't escape for long because both sides of the table bring up reams of data to defend their positions.
According to the media reports and analysis, the Yankees' ownership is seemingly paying less attention to Jeter's Hall of Fame-worthy career statistics, including a fantastic 2009 season, and his intrinsic value to the Yankees brand, but instead is focusing on Jeter's arguably career-low 2010 season on-field performance and advancing age (36 years old is practically Medicare-eligible age in baseball).
Jeter's side of the negotiations, on the other hand, point out that Jeter's value to the Yankees is "immeasurable," and that one off year shouldn't be used to define his value to the team. They point out that Jeter, as team captain, is a major leader in the clubhouse and excellent role model for younger players. He's certainly among the most popular players the Yankees employ and influences boatloads of fans to attend games, watch the Yankees cable network, and provide significant licensing revenue. And of course they point out that Jeter is still an excellent player and 2010 should be viewed as an anomaly, not the norm.
I'm not a baseball analyst (lucky for everyone), and I have no intention in joining the debate on whose point of view is correct or how much Jeter should earn, for how many years, etc. (That's best discussed over a few beers, not on a blog, right?)

I've just published my comprehensive analysis of the enterprise data quality platforms market in my Forrester Wave™ report and provided a deep-dive assessment of the technologies, strategies, and market presence of the six vendors that, in my opinion, provide the most mature, robust, and comprehensive data quality and data profiling solutions available. The evaluated vendors include DataFlux, IBM, Informatica, Harte-Hanks Trillium Software, Pitney Bowes Business Insight, and SAP BusinessObjects.
DQ Market Overview
A fair question some may ask when they see this research is "Why evaluate only six vendors?" The reason is a simple cost/benefit analysis. As any vendor that has participated in this process can confirm, the Forrester Wave™ research methodology is at minimum a 6+ month, in-depth product and vendor strategy evaluation and the more vendors that are included only adds to the effort. So when determining my inclusion criteria, I had to ask — as always — who is the target audience for this research? The answer, of course, is the data management professionals that work for Forrester's clients, who for the most are large commercial enterprises and public sector organizations that often support global operations.

Under the Hill House is an exceptionally pretty and beautifully renovated Queen Anne style residence dating from the mid 18th century. The elegant facade also retains a charming octagon bell tower which is still working to this day. As you would expect, the Grade II listed house is bursting with exceptional and unique detailing much of which has been rejuvenated during the extensive renovations. The current owners were keen to preserve and enhance as much of the original architectural style as possible but have retained a comfortable 'family home' feel throughout which has been enhanced with 21st century lighting, heating and first class kitchens and bathrooms. The room proportions and abundance of light are excellent as the majority of rooms have two if not three large sash windows together with a host of interesting features including a stripped panelled study, 19th century staircase and a number of unique fireplaces throughout. Whilst the overall accommodation is generous at 6878 square feet it feels both usable and comfortable. The ground floor has three main reception rooms which all centre around the surprisingly large entrance hall and kitchen/breakfast room which creates a great 'heart of the home'. The upper two floors offer six generous double bedrooms with well appointed bathrooms and excellent storage throughout. The useful wine store and loft are easily accessible.
Forming part of the main structure of the building is a fully independent annexe. This is an excellent space for a dependent relative or could alternatively provide a healthy income. It has completely independent access from the main dwelling but retains a number of link doors allowing multiple uses. This again is presented in good condition and offers flexibility in terms of layout depending on your needs. Property Ref: STR160219

Whatever you can get the most of for the cheapest price. I can assure you in a SHTF situation the bad guy nor you will care if it is HP or FMJ.
This is a discussion on SHTF: 7.62x39 FMJ vs HP within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm ready to finish my ammo preps. Looking to buy 7000 rounds of 7.62x39 for my AK47. In a SHTF scenario these would be used ...
I'm ready to finish my ammo preps. Looking to buy 7000 rounds of 7.62x39 for my AK47. In a SHTF scenario these would be used in a suburban setting. I can't see taking shots over 50 to 75 yards. Would there be a benefit to a HP round? Penetration would be good in many circumstances. A HP would be beneficial for open shots that would impact 2 leged varmints first.
I was curious how a HP would react to being shot through the walls/door of a home and then impacting the BG? Would the FMJ be better for that or would the HP be a fragmented mess in the flesh?
I was thinking maybe 4000 FMJ and 3000 HP or should I just go with all HP as that will get the job done in more situations? Thanks for your input.
Whatever you can get the most of for the cheapest price. I can assure you in a SHTF situation the bad guy nor you will care if it is HP or FMJ.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
I would definetly go with the cheaper of the two to buy more. In this case they are priced the same. About $220 per 1000 shipped. I'm thinking FMJ has more versatillity and will always get the job done.
go with the price FMJ is fine. You don't know for sure how far away your targets would be. I would hope they would be more than 50-75.
In my experience, the cheap, bulk, Russki JHP is a hollow point in name only, not in performance. I've never really seen one open up. So, in that case...whatever's cheaper.
If you're talking about the Hornady loads using Vmax bullets...different story. But not cheap at all.

However, not all 7.62 x 39 mm FMJ bullets are of the original steel core construction. Significantly increased tissue damage is produced by the early yaw seen with several 7.62 x 39 mm FMJ lead core bullets, including:
-- Yugoslavian M67 124 gr FMJ, flat based, copper-jacketed, lead core bullet which travels only 3.5" in tissue before yawing
-- Chinese (PRC) 7.62 x 39 mm 123 gr FMJ, copper-jacketed, lead core bullets which begin their yaw after only 2 to 2.5" of travel in tissue.
-- Czech and several types of Western commercially produced lead core 7.62 x 39 mm FMJ yaw within the first 2 to 3 inches of travel in tissue.
My favorite "gun" book-
It appears to me that you are over thinking this, you just need quality rounds that work and are cheap enough to be bought in quantity. For my M1 carbines I found that Prvi Partizan works (I've shot around 800 rds without a problem) and I can reload it.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Guys just a heads up. The 7.62x39 needs a bullet diameter between .310 and .311 to be accurate thru the AK barrels. Hornady is using .308 diameter bullets. This means that your accuracy is really going to suffer. This is being discussed on Warrior Talk and measurements are shown.
We will be much better off when we learn to deal with things as they really are, instead of how we wish them to be!
I run Brown bear 125 SP's for social use in m y AK's, FMJ and HP are for paper.
Just pulled the trigger on 7000 rounds of 154 grain soft point from Cabbelas. No tax, free shipping, $1570. About 22.5 cents a round. I've heard Cabbelas house brand is repackage WOLF ammo. LMK if anybody knows of problems with this ammo before I have 7 cases in my closet.
God help me and our country if I ever have to this in a SHTF situation. Hopefully this will be a lifetime of hog hunting and just plain fun with my son.

Tempura – A better batter
John explains how to create the classically Japanese dish, that really isn't Japanese at all.
by John Pope on May 2, 2012
Let's start out with this:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tempura is not a Japanese creation!
Yes, we all think they made it up themselves, but actually Tempura was introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in the mid 16th century. Any history book will probably tell you what the Iberians were doing there, but to be honest I have no interest at all. I am however very glad that took tempura with them, and that the Japanese have stuck with it and exported it back to the rest of us.
For anyone who not only didn't know that it wasn't Japanese but also doesn't have a clue what it is, tempura is a dish made up of deep fried vegetables or seafood in a crisp fluffy batter, as well as the name of the batter itself.
Tempura batter is light, fluffy, crisp, and I ♥ it.
As part of lunch the other day I had tempura vegetables, they were in a less than spectacular chain of pubs in the UK, and yet they managed not to bugger them up and they tasted great. They managed this because apart from tasting great, Tempura is stupidly easy to make.
What to tempura
The great thing about tempura is that you don't have to stick to tradition, and you can basically cook just about anything in it, from lobster to ice cream. Personally I just love tempura batter, and to a certain degree what is in the middle doesn't really matter too much, as long as it is is wrapped up in that crispy goodness.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding recipes for some different tempura dishes to the site, so check back for those. In the meantime, be a bit creative and throw anything you like in there.
Carbonation or no carbonation?
You will find that a lot of recipes for tempura use carbonated water instead of still water.
In England you will often find fish fried in a beer batter, and a some other batters use tonic water. All of these recipes use carbonated liquids for the same reason.
The science in this is super simple. What we are trying to end up with is batter that is as light and fluffy as we can, and what makes batter light and fluffy is having air in it. When you use carbonated water (or any other carbonated liquid) to make batter, then the bubbles in the liquid leave tiny spaces in the mixture which fill with air, and give you a lovely light batter.
Traditional tempura recipes don't use carbonated water, possibly because they didn't have it in the 16th century, and if you are careful it is possible to make good tempura with still water.
The following recipe will work perfectly well with either still or carbonated water, so feel free to try both and see which result you prefer.
Tempura batter recipe
- Ice cold water200ml
- Egg yolk 1
- Plain flour 90g
In a large bowl, mix together the cold water and the egg yolk, using a fork or a pair of chopsticks.
Add the flour a little bit at a time, gently mixing it in until the flower is all incorporated.
That's it, dip whatever it is that you are cooking into the batter to coat it, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes in oil at about 180°c.
Notes on the recipe
As you can see above, making tempura is incredibly simple, there are just three important points to bear in mind before you start:
The water used in the batter must be VERY COLD, preferably iced.
The batter must not be overmixed. Just use your fork (or chopsticks if you have them) for literally a few seconds to combine the ingredients. Lumps of unmixed flour are fine and perfectly normal. Overmixing so that gluten is released and your batter goes sticky is not fine, as this will make your tempura heavy greasy.
Only make the batter when you are ready to fry it. Tempura batter is not like pancake batter which will be much better if it is left alone for half an hour after mixing. If you don't use the tempura batter straight away then it will lose all of its fluffiness and become thick and heavy.

In a number of ways, today is a monumental day in history globally, nationally and locally. I write to you from Washington, D.C. where I have the privilege of taking part in the Inaugural festivities. I invite you to catch up on what I�m seeing and hearing in my daily diary entry in the New Haven Register at www.nhregister.com. I�m also capturing this experience on video as I attend events and meet many people from around our nation who have traveled long distances to witness this series of events. I invite you to view my videos on the City�s website or at: http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2009/01/20/
Today also represents a historic day for New Haven and New Haven Public Schools as the new Cooperative Arts and Humanities Magnet High School opens for its first day of classes Downtown. Co-Op is an interdistrict magnet high school with 60.5% of its students from New Haven and 39.5% of its students from 21 area towns. Enrollment will increase from 446 to 650 in the next few years. Co-Op is one of only two full-time creative and performing arts high schools in Connecticut.
The new school contains a 350-seat multi-purpose theater, a black-box theater, a scene shop, an 85-seat lecture/film viewing hall, two dance studios, 2D and 3D arts studios, creative writing labs, a video production studio, choral and instrumental rehearsal spaces, a photography lab, seminar rooms, a cafeteria, a library and a gymnasium, all on the lower level or first and second floors. The top two floors include other academic classrooms.
With the opening of Co-Op this month, following the opening of Troup and Columbus Schools in September, 28 new and renovated schools have been completed since 1998 under the $1.5 billion Citywide School Construction Program. Five more schools are in construction and several more are in planning and design.
This Week�s Green Tip
Save on your hot water heating bill by wrapping your tank-style hot water heater with an inexpensive heating blanket. An average household will save $50 or more per year, quickly paying back the low initial cost (usually < $20). Together, New Haven residents can save over $1.5 million!

When it snows...
Property owners in the City are reminded that clearing the snow on the sidewalks and around your homes is your responsibility. This rule applies to both commercial and residential property owners and it requires that sidewalks be cleared within 24 hours of the end of a storm.
I wish you a happy and healthy week!

I had the tummy tuck because I was 196Ibs when I pregnant with my daughter, I never weighed more than 120Ibs before pregnancy. I worked out every day, I ran, did weights the whole thing and yet I could never get rid of that loose piece of skin on my lower stomach.
I am thrilled with the results, although I am not sure if my scar could have been a little lower. The breast implants were a bonus and I am still trying to adjust to those as they have not taken the complete shape yet. My only issue right now is swelling of my hips and I am not sure if that is normal.

Garage Drain - help needed
I cannot find a replacement drain for my garage. The opening is 8 3/4" and would require a steel or cast iron drain. The old drain was rusted and caved in. I found an 8" drain at Home Depot - but it measures 10 1/4" in diameter. I believe I need a 7" drain with legs to sit in the piping. Any ideas. I checked the website of the company Plumbest and all the had was 6(8"dia) and 8(10 1/4") diameter drains. Any websites or suggestions on where to find one before I call a plumber?
Paul - Cleveland Ohio
How about posting a picture.
http://www.plumbest.com/dmdocuments/f44.jpgIt is the perforated sewer strainer second item down - I just cant find one with an 8 3/4" diameter to fit
Maybe you can order it over the net, or if there is a local plubing supply house there, try them.
If your in a pinch and can't find one go to a welding shop and have them make one up for you ,just give them size and have them drill out as many hole as needed .

Why is no one posting in this section?!
guys wats uactivate my game for me ok
maby because it isnt such a popular game
Nobody is posting probably because of other better fps games
Currently playing:
League of Legends: Bronzy (US Version)
Steam: Bronzy98
Use to play it until hackers took over. Not sure about now but i quit a long time ago.
Crossfire? AVA is definetely way better than crossfire and combat arms put together. but yeah. combat arms has wayy too many hackers.
feels much like a run n' gun. When I play games like that, I usually end up not paying attention to any sort of chat or discussion. I would say its one of those smarter brainless games that require you to think very little.
I would've been posting here before when combat arms wasn't completely 100% full of hackers. I've moved on to the Call of Duty Series.
I downloaded this game few days ago, started playing, and every few seconds I got stabbed to death by some invisible dude
I played game one day, and I was pissed off... its stuffed with hackers, I have no idea how can anyone even play it.
At one point there weren't hackers running around in the beginning the game was awesome!!!
Than couple sites started releasing hacks and some made it their hobby just to make hacks for this game and bam everyone and their mother hacked in it.
Nexon not doing a single thing to stop it... as usual allowed the problem to persist into the shit hole it has likely became today
I dunno I quit when the hackers became out of control long ago.
yeap that why i stop playing it everyone hack f head-shot
Maybe because everyone uses the official forums instead of this?
[taiko][/taiko]We're so legit we can play kingdom hearts TWO PLAYER without looking.

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.
Saturday, March 3, 2012
March 3, 2012
No, Jason didn't buy any pets, he did want to check out the dogs that were being offered, though. The rescue organizations all come around on Saturdays and display the animals they want to put up for adoption. There was even a parrot rescue group there with this really cool green parrot. Actually it had several other colors, but the green was the main color, and it had this tail that must have been at least a meter, possibly more, in length. It was a very friendly parrot, and even climbed on to my arm. Under different circumstances I would have been tempted to adopt it. As it was, Jason looked around at all the different dogs, and there was one dog that he seemed very interested in. I think that if he could have taken it home he probably would have. I suggested that he just take down the information and he could possibly get back with them later. Once finished we just went on back to the house. It was past lunch time anyway, and I was getting hungry.
After lunch the girls went down for a nap, and I guess they were kind of tired. They both went to sleep pretty quickly. While they slept we had a visit from Victor Juhasz's son Ben, and his friend, also named Jason. They actually stayed and visited with Jason for a couple of hours, and I think it did him a great deal of good to get a chance to talk with some fellow Marines. I ended up being the "mean" parent and saw that Jason was getting worn down, so I asked them to wrap it up so he could get some rest. Ben apologized for keeping Jason for so long, as did the other Jason, and they said they would try to get back when they returned. I really did hate stopping the conversation, but Jason still needs to rest.
Not much else happened tonight. We had dinner, and I told the girls another story, then they went to bed. I came up to take care of this blog, and then I'm going to bed. Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers.

Continuing to pray so very hard!
Psalms 28:1-2 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

What kind of dog is Jason looking for? Although I live in Palm Desert, I have worked in the veterinary field for many years and know people in the shelters and veterinary hospitals out here. I may be able to find a contact to get Jason what he wants, or close to it. And alot of my friends are very open to helping the troops if they can. I was honored to meet the two of you Thanksgiving weekend with Joyce Orrell. I belong to the Blue Star Mothers group she belongs to. I'm the one who gave Jason the "Dang it doll".
I have been keeping up with Jason's recovery and your life stories thru this blog and want to help if I can. You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to.
Bless you for the patience and caring you have shown for your son. You are both very special people...
Nanci Yazzolino
So very happy that Ben got to stop by. I know he had been wanting to do so. Don't fret about having to be the mean parent and end the visit. I was a mean parent too :^) I've no doubt he'll stop by again when he returns. We've got great sons, George.ReplyDelete

Frank West Spotted in Lost Planet 2
Written Monday, March 22, 2010 By Dan WebbView author's profile
During a Lost Planet 2 co-op presentation in London last Friday, Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2 producer, Jun Takeuchi, whilst showing off the game's customisation options revealed that Frank West would appear as an in-game skin.
Frank West is set to join the likes of Albert Wesker and the Gears of War duo, and will feature in the title equipped with a teddy bear rucksack and his trademark leather jacket.
There is no word as of yet regarding which platform Frank West will appear on, but considering the presentation was carried out on an Xbox 360, I'd say it was safe to assume that he's 360 bound.
Could Frank West be a pre-order incentive now that Wesker is seemingly available to all? When we hear more, we'll be sure to let you know.

Ever since the closing of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, conservative and liberal Roman Catholics have been divided over church teachings, many of them concerning marriage and sexual matters.
Those who are more conservative would like to see the teachings remain in place, while liberals would like to see drastic changes.
See Also
Now, suddenly, liberals and conservatives among Catholics have joined forces on an issue. It involves artificial birth control, one of the sorest points between the two factions.
Specifically, a wide cross-section of liberal and conservative Catholics have united in opposition to a Jan. 20 rule issued by the federal Department of Health and Human Services as part of the implementation of "Obamacare."
The rule requires almost all private health insurance plans to provide coverage for all U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved prescription contraceptives. Health plans would also have to offer female sterilization as yet another "preventive service."
Companies would have to cover these things fully, with no co-pay for the patient. The penalty for employers who purchase health plans that don't comply with the rule is about $2,000 per employee.
The Catholic Church, which views sex and procreation as inextricably intertwined, forbids both elective sterilization and any effort to prevent conception other than refraining from sexual contact. In response to a request by the U.S. Catholic bishops and some other religious groups that regard artificial contraception as immoral, Health and Human Services carved out a religious exemption for employers.
But it was the narrowest possible exemption, covering only employers representing organizations whose mission is instructing members in their faith and that serve and employ mostly members of their own faith.
Catholic parish churches would qualify. Catholic schools, colleges, hospitals, charities and social service agencies — all of which minister to all comers without regard to their religious affiliation — would not.
Not surprisingly, the American Catholic bishops have presented a nearly united front in opposition to the rule, scheduled to go into effect in 2013. What is surprising is that prominent liberal Catholics — people who don't even agree with the church's position on contraception — have joined their voices in protest.
Michael Sean Winters, a columnist for the ultra-progressive newspaper the National Catholic Reporter, declared that Obama had "lost my vote" after the rule was issued. He wrote: "(T)he president's decision ... essentially told us, as Catholics, that there is no room in this great country of ours for the institutions our church has built over the years."
Cardinal Roger Mahony, the former archbishop of Los Angeles, used to be derided by Catholic conservatives for his hobnobbing with pro-abortion-rights Democratic politicians. Yet he wrote on his blog, "I cannot imagine a more direct and frontal attack on freedom of conscience than this ruling today."
The fragile liberal-conservative alliance opposing the rule on contraceptive coverage seems unlikely to hold. Yet it is refreshing to see that no matter how disaffected from their church's teachings some Catholics might feel, they believe that its organizations have a right to act in accordance with its principles.

Building for the future, today – combining the best of historical wisdom and modern technology.
By Flush or Leak, Your Toilet Can Cause a High Water Bill
Looking to your toilet to solve your problems might not sound like the best idea. But if you want to save water and money, toilet-water conservation might be the answer.
The EPA estimates that a leaky toilet sends about 200 gallons of water down the pipes a day. That's quite a chunk of the water bill considering the average family uses 400 gallons of water a day.
Those 200 gallons could be sneaking right through your toilet without you noticing. To check to see if your toilet is releasing water when it isn't in use, just place a few drops of food coloring in the tank and watch for the dye to end up in the toilet bowl. If your toilet bowl water turns a different shade, you have a leaky toilet situation. (Make sure you flush the color before it dyes your bowl.) All that needs to be done now is to replace the flapper, which is the gate between the tank water and the bowl water. To learn more about replacing or repairing your toilet check out
If you have an older model of toilet, another way to save water is to purchase a low-flow toilet or dual flush toilet approved by WaterSense, an EPA program designed to promote water conservation. Products that have the WaterSense label on them save money and water when compared to conventional products. Replacing your older model with a WaterSense toilet could reduce the flush from 3.5 gallons to 1.3 gallons or less. In addition, the dual flushing feature could continue water conservation. These types of toilets give the user the option of using more or less water per flush depending on what is needed.
I looked to see how many different options of water-efficient toilets were out there, and I was impressed. The WaterSense label graces more than 500 toilets, from A to Z (American Standard to Zurn). American Standard's website alone offers 34 WaterSense-labeled toilets.
Another water-saving toilet feature is the SinkPositive. We discussed this new toilet innovation back in December in "Toilet-Lid Sink Combo." The SinkPositive attaches in place of the regular toilet lid. The toilet-lid sink uses the water that runs into the toilet as hand washing water. Besides the touch free faucet and easy installation, the sink encourages water conservation. It can show a leak visually to the owner. When the toilet isn't refilling and water is dripping from the faucet, the toilet has a leak. It also gives the toilet water a double use, and don't worry, the sink water is just the regular water that would be used to fill up the toilet. By using this water twice, the daily water savings can be 2 gallons per person. Plus, the running water may wake you up to the amount of water it takes to fill up the toilet.
Plenty of options are available to conserve water via the toilet. And with more than 25 percent of all water usage going to the toilet, it is a good place start.

Featured News | 15th June 2009
Read determined to see Notts to Lord's
Captain Chris Read has reiterated his desire to lead Notts Outlaws to a Lord's final as they prepare for the Friends Provident Trophy quarter-final with Gloucestershire Gladiators.
The 30-year-old has never played in a one-day final and said: "We are at the quarter-final stage and only two games away from Lord's.
"It's something I've been harping on about since I became captain - going to Lord's to lift a trophy and this is our next chance to do that.
"We'll have to do it the hard way with the trip to Bristol and then another away game for the semi-final, but we will take whatever comes our way."
A fixture clash with England's One-Day International against the West Indies led to the delay in the quarter-final being played, and both sides were unable to practice at Bristol following an Elton John concert at the County Ground.
But Director of Cricket Mick Newell said: "We had a hard four days against Hampshire so there would not have been a very intense practice session even if we had had the choice.
"We'll have a team meeting before the game to assess things. It's a one-off match and we will try and pick the best team to help us win and get us into the semi-finals.
"Gloucestershire may have had a few days more to prepare but they also haven't played a 50-over game for a while."

Jeep with a 350?
My friend has a 92 jeep renegade. He wants to put a 350 sbc in it. I know this is doable, but is it worth it? How much work is involved? How will the new tranny fit in with the rest of the chasis and drive shafts? Thanks for your help. Bill
You might check some of the jeep forums out there. I have read about some jeeps with even more obscure transplants, so this should be doable. It might need different drive shafts.
Well, What transmition is in it. I have never owned a jeep and know nothing about them. But like that other person said your best bet is a jeep forum. <img src="graemlins/boxing.gif" border="0" alt="[boxing]" />
Jeeps Unlimited
Try that forum, I bet they can help you.

Deflected goal gives Sweden 1-0 win over Japan in women's hockey
Fanny Rask of Sweden tries to take control of the puck from Haruna Yoneyama of Japan during the second period of the 2014 Winter Olympics women's ice hockey game at Shayba Arena, Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014, in Sochi, Russia. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
The Associated Press
Published Sunday, February 9, 2014 5:38AM EST
SOCHI, Russia -- Jenni Asserholt deflected a shot into the net for a first-period goal and Sweden held on to beat Japan 1-0 on Sunday in their opening game of the Sochi Olympics women's hockey tournament.
Valentina Wallner stopped 19 shots for the Swedes.
Nana Fujimoto made 22 saves for Japan, which had not qualified for the Olympics in women's hockey since the sport was added to the Winter Games in Nagano in 1998.
Sweden is the only team other than the United States or Canada to have reached an Olympic gold medal game, beating the Americans in the 2006 semifinal and earning a silver. But the Swedes have struggled lately, falling into the second-tier Group B that will have to compete for two spots in the quarterfinals.

Design for Democracy Solves Election Problems
Democracy is a complex, imperfect, and sometimes messy form of government. This became abundantly clear after the 2000 U.S Presidential election, when a poorly designed butterfly ballot in Palm Beach County, Fla., effectively disenfranchised thousands of voters.
In the following days, Marcia Lausen, a graphic designer in Chicago, volunteered on behalf of the local chapter of the AIGA, a design industry association, to help redesign her city's own butterfly ballot. Lausen led a group of volunteer designers and design students, who worked with election officials in Cook County. But ballot design, as she writes in Design for Democracy, a book about election design based on their work that won a gold IDEA this year, "turned out to be merely the tip of the iceberg."
Ultimately, the team undertook a redesign of the complete voting experience, from the election forms and brochures mailed to voters to polling place signage and poll worker instruction manuals to, yes, ballots. The breadth of the project impressed Frank von Holzhausen, president of the design firm Group Four and a member of this year's jury. "It could have been a simple ballot design project, but they went deeper," he says. "They had a solution for every election-related problem a state might have."
The problems are myriad. Take ballot design, the issue that the 2000 election brought into sharp focus. Some officials jumped to the wrong conclusions—butterfly ballots are bad and manual recounts are a nightmare—and rushed to implement new, high-tech systems. A better lesson is that poorly designed ballots do a disservice to democracy, and Lausen offers five principles to improve the clarity and legibility of any type of ballot. These include a limit to the number of variations in the type font and the use of easier-to-read lowercase letters. The latter led Cook County to rewrite a November 2000 law that required candidate names be printed in capital letters.
The Design for Democracy guidelines and prototypes show simple ways to implement improvements throughout the election system. Banners make polling locations more visible. Layout templates help poll workers set up equipment and stations in an optimal configuration for traffic flow. For election administrators, a streamlined system of administrative forms and envelopes in which envelope sizes correspond to their contents and are color-coded to indicate the final destination—simple design improvements—reduce confusion on election day.
Design for Democracy is a tool for designers, elections officials, printers, or equipment manufacturers involved in the elections industry. Anyone can borrow or build on its visual system of type, color, and image guidelines to make the election process more accessible, more accurate, and more efficient. This in turn, writes Lausen, "will increase voter confidence, promote government transparency, and…create an informed electorate."
In July 2007, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission accepted the Design for Democracy's recommendations, and subsequently distributed the guidelines to 6,000 election officials across the country. The states aren't legally required to adopt the guidelines, but several have, including Oregon and Florida.
"Anyone using this guide will find that design can bring order and clarity to a very confusing process,"says von Holzhausen. "We will all benefit if this guide is used in future elections."

BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins said earlier this year that the Canadian based manufacturer would launch six BlackBerry 10 models in 2013. Two would be low-end.phones, two would be mid-range units and two would be high-end models. Each price tier would consist of one all-touch and one QWERTY-enabled phone. With that in mind, we can assume that the BlackBerry Q5 is the low end QWERTY. The question has always been, where would you put the Q10 and Z10? Heins has said in the past that all of the touch models would have a 4.2 inch screen and share the same resolution, while all of the QWERTY equipped models would have the same 3.1 inch 720 x 720 display. This would make it easier for developers to produce apps for all models without worrying about different screen sizes and resolutions.
Heins has said in the past that there would be a high-end model coming for the holidays, and this could be the BlackBerry A10 that is allegedly coming to Sprint in November. If true, that would mean that the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 are mid-range models and leave BlackBerry short one low-end all-touch model, and one high-end QWERTY equipped model. We've already seen a leaked photo of a phone called the BlackBerry Z5 which just might be the entry-level all-touch device we are still waiting to hear about.

Seven arrested over gun murder
Seven people are being questioned over a gangland-style murder in a rural village.
Shane Rossiter became the 14th victim of gun crime this year when he was shot dead in a house just yards from a church in Golden, Co Tipperary, on October 17.
Gardai said five men and two women - aged from their early 20s to early 40s - have been arrested in the Tipperary area.
"They are currently detained in various Garda stations in the Co Tipperary area," they added.
They can be held for up to three days under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939.
Rossiter, 30, who had drug and burglary convictions, was shot in a house and rushed to South Tipperary General Hospital in Clonmel, where he was pronounced dead.
His teenage brother Brian died 10 years ago after he fell into a coma in Garda custody in their hometown of Clonmel.
His family, including parents Pat and Siobhan, had campaigned tirelessly for an inquiry, which later ruled there was no evidence of an assault on the 14-year-old, who had been arrested for an alleged public order offence.
A probe into his death, set up in September 2005, found that while his arrest was lawful, his detention was unlawful.
While it stated there was no evidence to suggest an assault in custody, it hit out at the force for not properly investigating all the circumstances surrounding the death and criticised officers for failing to observe certain custody procedures.

"Over here, over here, you want Calvin Klein T-shirt? DKNY jeans? Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt?," beckoned the fifth salesman in a row. "All genuine fakes," he added for good measure.
We were perusing the wares displayed on stall after stall in the night market - known locally as Thieves Market - on the Malaysian island of Penang. And, it has to be said, the fakes really were as genuine as they come.
While the starting price for most of the clothes on offer was between £10 and £15 - cheap at twice the price - bartering was positively encouraged. In fact one vendor, perplexed by our Western reluctance to haggle, started the bidding for us - talking himself down to final asking prices of somewhere between £5 and £8. The Thieves Market is ideal for anyone who wants cut-price anything, from hand-carved religious effigies to encyclopedias. But the stalls attracting the largest crowds by some margin were those selling compact discs at £1.80 each.
We bought the greatest hits of everyone from The Police through Madonna, Barry White and Bob Marley - 10 cds for just £18. It was the second leg of a week-long visit to Malaysia which began in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, a shopper's paradise with 24 malls and department stores. We were there for the first ever August Mega Sale Carnival, which began on August 5 and marked the start of two weeks during which prices in shops throughout the country were reduced by up to 70%. The Mega Sale is to be a thrice-yearly event which the Malaysian Tourist Board hopes will be an extra incentive for people to visit and shop.
The most popular of KL's shopping complexes is the Sungai Wang Plaza, home to more than 500 shops selling everything from fashion to electronic goods. If you don't have your heart set on a specific brand name, you could save up to £200 on the more pricy electrical equipment. But our search for an Apple McIntosh iMac laptop computer was less rewarding as the £1,000 price tags mirrored those at home.
Video compact discs were less than £2 a throw. Lot 10, which is linked to BB Plaza by an overhead bridge, is one of the best places to find good value watches and cosmetics. For the label-conscious, the Star Hill shopping centre boasts outlets selling gear by a host of European designers - though don't expect to snap up any big bargains: the authentic stuff rarely comes cheap. However, a price tag of £100 on a pair of Calvin Klein sunglasses was quickly slashed to £60 when I expressed interest - with an offer of even further reductions when I failed to bite.
Gems are duty-free and can be picked up at two-thirds the price in the UK. A pair of 18-carat-gold sapphire earrings would set you back £154, an 18-carat-gold ring with five diamonds £356, a white-gold ring with single marquise diamond £1,000 and a huge yellow sapphire with diamond surround ring £2,200.
When you're tired and hot, there are endless cafés and restaurants where two people can enjoy a big lunch or dinner - Malaysian, Chinese or Indian - and a couple of Tiger beers for as little as £6. The tables outside the Blues Café (it's hard to find a restaurant or bar without a Western name) on Jalan Sultan Ismail, near Lot 10 shopping centre are a good place to relax.
BA flies to Kuala Lumpur from London Heathrow for £1,385.30 including tax, Virgin £535 including tax, Malaysian Airlines (020-7341 2040) £604.30 including tax.

Service Providers Testify Against Budget Cuts
Advocates for a variety of human service programs urged lawmakers on Wednesday afternoon to dip into the state's "rainy day fund" to help balance this year's budget.
VPR's Bob Kinzel reports.
In the next two weeks, the House Appropriations Committee is expected to vote out a supplemental budget bill that makes some important changes to this year's budget. The changes are necessary because state revenue projections for the current fiscal year are now $50 million lower than they were a year ago.
The committee is reviewing nearly $35 million in budget rescissions proposed by Governor Howard Dean and it also needs to find another $15 million in cuts to this year's budget.
Janet Dermody, who represents the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition, urged the committee not to take money away from these programs:
(Dermody) "I am here today to ask that the commitments made last year be kept. I'm asking that you do not approve the rescissions. I'm asking you to consider the use of rainy day funds to provide those truly one-time emergency expenditures needed to protect and house the most vulnerable of the Vermont population."
Craig Pinkham of the Vermont Coalition for Runaway and Homeless Youth said proposed budget cuts in these preventative programs would result in far more expensive treatment options in the future:
(Pinkham) "Further cuts to community based family intervention initiatives could critically hamper our ability to meet the needs of youths and families in Vermont. This notion is particularly dangerous in a time when we can expect to see more instances of family stress leading to the need for services."
Committee chairman Richard Westman says he is sympathetic to the needs of these advocates but Westman says the bottom line is that spending needs to be scaled back:
(Westman) "You can't have revenues drop by $50 million and not have to look at cuts. This is not an easy process. This is a painful process and we're just trying to make the best decisions we can based upon that."
The Dean administration has just unveiled a plan to offset the new $15 million revenue shortfall in this year's budget. The administration wants to empty out funds from more than a dozen separate state accounts that contain some surplus money at this time.

Gig Alert: Shenandoah and the Night
Shenandoah and the Night
"So Low, So High"
Playing on Tuesday at Cameo Gallery (93 N. 6th St., Williamsburg)
Get: Tickets ($5-$8) | Directions
It's a little hard to listen to the airy baroque pop of Shenandoah and the Night and not imagine the majestic national park and valley of the same name. Perhaps it's because the three-year-old Brooklyn quartet's music evokes an evening in the Shenandoah Valley: lush, starry and filled with nocturnal cool.
It may come as a surprise then that the "Shenandoah" in the band's name refers to frontwoman Shenandoah Ableman, a seasoned cabaret jazz singer who shifted from performing in burlesque shows to leading the group in early 2011. Ableman is joined in the group by drummer Sean Hutchinson, guitarist Seth Johnson and multi-instrumentalist and back-up vocalist Mitchell Yoshida.
Shenandoah and the Night's self-titled EP was released last May. The four-piece followed up the debut five-track of doo wop, rhythm-and-blues and country-inflected pop with a new single, "So Low, So High," which came out last week. The catchy, optimistic tune is available for download above. It is also performed in the video below.
Shenandoah and the Night plays Cameo Gallery on Tuesday night.

Let Your Home Decor Develop As You Do

Hours that Count
Blink and it's over…. That's how people often feel about their lives. In today's fast world, many of us find keeping the pace harder than ever. This is probably one of the reasons why beautiful clocks are making a comeback as an important design element among collectors and laymen alike.
Clocks have an enduring place in society. Humans
Architectural Details as the Home's Layers
If architectural details can be thought of as the layers making up a home's image, then columns and pilasters can be thought of as the home's version of a power suit. These impressive architectural details are not for the fainthearted, as they can hardly be thought of as creating a subtle impact. Traditionally associated with the
Residential Art Deco Architecture
Art Deco style is a style of contradictions and extremes. It is unsurprising then, to note that Art Deco architectural styles zigzag, classical and streamlined moderne were typically represented on buildings considered being within the public sphere.

Homeownership as a Vehicle for Creativity
The biggest investment anyone can make in their lifetime is the investment into homeownership. Owning your own home is the bottom line, whether you plan to live in it for the rest of your life, or you plan on selling it at some point during your journey. However, the real estate market can sometimes resemble a game of strategy;
Blending History and Lore with Porcelain Accessories
Since the development of porcelain more than 4,000 years ago, humankind has developed a multitude of ways to fabricate items borne from the versatile material.

Learning About Architectural Details
Wood carvings and the application of carved wood onlays, which include scrolls, drops, swags, and rosettes range from the diminutive to the bold. These elegant trimmings add interest as focal points and elevate ordinary interior elements to something remarkable.

Wood Brackets Do the Heavy Lifting in Style
Supports for shelves, counters, fireplace mantles and other structures are a necessity – especially if the items are heavy or have a significant overhang. If you have granite countertops with a lot of overhang or shelves for heavy objects, strong brackets are the no-brainer solution. But not just any brackets will do to grace the interior of your home.
