I just heard for the first time about Dutch freelance photographer Jeltje from Irene Hoofs who wrote about a photo she'd taken showing a swing indoors. While I love the idea of a swing I nearly fell down when I clicked over to Jeltje's portfolio and was saw some of her work – she is only in her twenties and has accomplished so much already. Have a look for yourself.
Jeltje has had her work featured in popular Dutch decorating magazines like 101 Woonideeen and Ariadne at Home, both ones that I really love and find so creative and approachable. I realllllly like all of these spaces above — so fresh and light, and ones that I can really imagine living and working in. I love the mood board with the mostly gray palette, gray is one of my favorite colors and looks so good with just about any color no matter what the tone – it's so versatile like white or black but not as strong. Gray is soft, enchanting, moody… a bit come hither.

Last week at the Tampa RNC, party insiders employed parliamentary tricks to block Rep. Ron Paul delegates from casting their votes. States such as Maine and Colorado came up short as libertarians got a lesson in hardball politics. Party conventions have morphed into cynical spectacles since Ronald Reagan fought on the floor of the 1976 convention, so nobody should be surprised. Still, without their own Reagan, libertarians will remain vulnerable to the hammer of mainstream politics.
The Libertarian Party and libertarians in general are like alternative energy, the perennial next big thing that never materializes. Much as the conservatives had Buckley, the libertarian cause is full of intellectuals forming the canons of individualism. Libertarians embrace smart writers like Veronique de Rugy and Nick Gillespie, but mass appeal comes from the TV screen, not a pen. While social media has leveled the playing field once dominated by the Old Time Media, the most successful politicians remain telegenic prompter readers who speak to the heart more than the mind.
Consider the sad case of Sen. Hillary Clinton. While being a joyless technocrat is not a sin, it proved to be her political downfall. A stereotypical Wellesley 1960's radical, Clinton has a centrally planned vision for the US where good government is the core problem solver. She is contemptuous of any traditional value, and thinks the family unit is subordinate to the role of 'the village.' While her vision is broad, she is a small thinker who crafts many policies to advance her leftist agenda. Enter Barak Obama, then also a junior Senator. He, too, was a college radical, contemptuous of the established order and also raised by communists. Unlike Clinton, he had no ideas or policies, just Marxist principles. With no experience in work and little experience in government, Obama spoke to the heart and easily beat the seasoned Clinton. Clinton had the entire Democrat machine at her disposal, and her husband was the best fundraiser ever. Despite such an advantage, voters chose soaring platitudes over experience and substance.
In practice Obama and Clinton are the same politician. Both support socialized single payer health care and higher marginal taxes. Both support expanded social welfare programs and wrinkle their noses at traditionalism. Only a policy snob would notice a difference in that Clinton is more academic, dry, and clear-cut.
Similar to Obama, Reagan spoke to the hearts of voters. His "Morning in America" campaign made misty voters dream again. Reagan was surrounded by conservative technocrats who shaped his policies, but his gift was in speaking to the hearts of regular people. Reagan's version of hope yielded two of the biggest landslides in US history.
Obama's and Reagan's lesson for libertarians is to stop arguing policy to people who will not listen. Every great person talks to those who would listen in a way they will understand. Pundits call it 'dog whistle' politics, but the winning strategy is to bury policy deep in the rhetoric of the heart. Some examples of good politics:
- Instead of promising to cut welfare, promise to cut corporate welfare (which is by far the bigger problem)
- Instead of promising to cut military spending, promise to focus on defense before offense
- As Paul Ryan says, instead of cutting middle class entitlements, promise to save them
- Instead of legalizing drugs, promise to keep them out of children's reach through regulatory enforcement
- Instead of de-regulating industry, point out that laws like the minimum wage only hurt the poor
All these tactics of politics 101 are meaningless without a charismatic standard bearer for the libertarian movement. To advance the cause of individualism, libertarians must stop being purists and get in the mud. Until then, the movement will remain associated with quacks and fringe intellectuals, and no great communicator will touch it.

I have to post somewhere first, might as well be on this one. I would choose self defense ammo based on weight before velocity every time. I would have no second thoughts to using 230 gr ball ammo(830-850fps) in a 45ACP for the purpose at hand.
There are better choices Rem Golden Saber, Win ST's, Fed HST's, Speer Gold Dot's and on. But all in the heavy for caliber weight and at a moderate velocity. I used the 45 ACP for an example.
Physics is the answer; base your selection on momentum.

April 29, 2014
ERIE, Pa. -- Freshman Tess Korten (Glen Head, N.Y./North Shore) of the University of Michigan women's lacrosse team earned her first career American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) Rookie of the Week honor after leading the Wolverines to a victory in their regular-season finale over Fresno State last Saturday (April 26), the conference announced on Tuesday (April 29).
Korten tied a game high with five points on four goals and one assist to help Michigan register a program-best 19 goals and defeat Fresno State, 19-6. She also contributed three draw controls, one caused turnover and a career-high three ground balls in the win. This marked Korten's fourth hat trick and third game with five or more points this season. She has now scored at least one point in each of the last nine games, tallying 29 of her 37 total season points during that stretch.
A member of the team's 2014 Leadership Council, Korten received the program's third ALC Rookie of the Week accolade, as freshman Anna Schueler (Chicago, Ill./Loyola Academy) notched the first two awards in back-to-back weeks earlier in the season (March 26 and April 2).
Korten and the Wolverines will kick off postseason play on Thursday (May 1) at the ALC Tournament, which will be hosted by Northwestern at Lakeside Field in Evanston, Ill. Michigan, the No. 7 seed, will face the No. 2 seed -- and 10th-ranked -- Ohio State Buckeyes in the first round of the tournament at 7 p.m. CDT.

WSJ's Taranto Pushes Tired Death Panels Lie
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In a his April 20 Wall Street Journal column, James Taranto again pushed the "death panels" lie, writing that the "Independent Payment Advisory Board, the ObamaCare creation" is "colloquially known as death panels."
From Taranto's column:
ObamaCare not only will force people to buy insurance and to subsidize the insurance of others, it ends "Medicare as we know it." In his speech last week, Obama promised: "We will slow the growth of Medicare costs by strengthening an independent commission of doctors, nurses, medical experts and consumers who will look at all the evidence and recommend the best ways to reduce unnecessary spending while protecting access to the services that seniors need." He was referring to the Independent Payment Advisory Board, the ObamaCare creation colloquially known as death panels.

Picture window replacement...help!
We are looking into vinyl replacements. We have had one estimate done and I am wondering if we really need to do our large living room window. Hopefully my description makes sense.
The house is about 35 years old. This window is divided into 4. The two sides crank out and the two middle ones do not . They are the gas/air type filled and about 5 years ago we had the two middle windows (glass only) replaced as the seals were bad, they had condensation in them and would not clear. They seem fine yet, seal is good, windows are clear. The past few winters I have been noticing streaks on the wall below the window. It's not wet, but it is stained and I would have to paint to cover it.
Is it best just to have the whole window replaced in case there are other issues involved like leaking? Or is this actually normal 'condensation' and there is a way to deal with it?
Are the streaks water damage? If they are dark shadows it may just be dust that tends to favorably accumulate on cold surfaces. This typically occurs at the wall studs because they conduct heat away faster than the insulated space between the studs. Very common if you burn candles or have a leaky gas furnace (bad) but can occur just from dust.
But if it is water streaks then it might very well be a flashing issue rather than a bad window. The flashing can be redone properly with the existing window so no need to buy a new one.
2 Attachment(s)
Maybe these pictures will help. Pretty sure they are water damage. It is worse this year than it was last year and mainly seemed to worsen during the winter months. I can't wipe the streaks off at all with a wet or a dry cloth. It is streaked like this the whole length of the window. There is one vertical area about the width of a 2x4 where the paint has started to crack. The drywall doesn't feel soft and the cracking is just contained to that spot so I suspect that is where the main problem is. If it is the flashing, maybe we are catching it in time??
Would it be worth having the contractor just take the window out and repair the flashing? Probably a pain for him but if he's getting paid he shouldn't care. Only problem is if it is more than the flashing we are without a window until one can be ordered.
We're right now paying a hefty bill to get the front siding and windows redone... so I feel your pain in not wanting to replace such a huge series of windows...
That being said, 35 years old is the exact age of our house as well. We've also had water staining under casement windows. In our case, the frames were rotting. The condensation that was on the windows was due to what my contractor calls "glass failure"... (the seals holding the glass no longer are air tight). That could be due to failure of the seals, or something going wrong with the frame.
My attitude is this: the main enemy of a homeowner is water. If it infiltrates into your wall (via roof, window, or siding), you'll get rot, bug infestations, and structural damage. These are HUGE bills to pay. Better to be safe and replace a window that you suspect is failing. It's cheaper to get it done right along with the others than it is to wait and call guys out to only repair this area.
We originally had about $35k of windows and doors that needed replacing :pinch:. We've been doing them in large batches. Once this latest home repair is complete, we will only have 25% left (the old windows in the best condition). Already, we have fewer bugs, no more water stains, and the home is less drafty. So, it's definitely beneficial.
hope this helps!
feido -
Repairing the flashing will require the removal of a portion of the external siding. Since over 65 % of the windows are not installed and flashed properly, it is not surprising you may have some problems. As the moisture accumulates in a wall, the wood and fiberglass will hold a lot of moisture that does not dissipate, but does radically influence or lower the insulating value (the so-called "R-value" determined by lab tests under ideal controlled conditions). This results in a cooler wall in the winter and more condensation that will attract dust and smoke, causing stains.
A good moisture intrusion engineer with the proper long probes and matching meters can give you a very good idea quickly if there is an abnormal amount of moisture in the wall. Usually they can find out with 4 or 5 pokes of a 1/8"x 6" probe around a window assembly since they see so many similar problems. - Beware of contractor or salesmen that advertise testing, but do not have the knowledge and equipment.
Something like 1/2 to 1% moisture in fiberglass can reduce the insulation by as much as 50%. Couple this with the 10 to 15% thermal short-circuiting of the studs, your so-called R13 wall could easily be less that R6.
A window is really just a poorly insulated hole in a wall (according to window manufacturers data), so it does not pay to have the insulation area around the window ruined by moisture intrusion.
That does look like water streaks and looks a lot like condensation streaks. It looks like its condensing and then running down the surface of the wall. Could be a leak I guess but if it only happens during the winter and only down the surface then it's likely condensation. But Concretemasonry makes a good point that wetness in the wall from a leak could cause the winter condensation. I like his idea of checking for moisture in the wall.
Other ways to visually look for moisture in the wall would be to carefully remove the window casing, remove the outlet cover plate (look in the gap between the box and the drywall - don't get shocked) and remove the heat register and poke a small hole through the drywall in an area that will be hidden when you replace the register. These methods aren't as good as a moisture probe because you can only check what you can see and what you see is limited.
Do you use a furnace humidifier during the winter? The reason I ask is that the streaks are close to the heat register and typically the hot air would reduce condensation unless you are using a humidifier in which case you are dumping moist warm air agains a cold exterior surface.
Thanks for the input guys. The more this leads to water damage signs and considering the age of the windows, I'm probably better off to bite the bullet and just have it replaced. In the long run the a better energy efficient window and knowing no further water damage can occur is more than worth the peace of mind.

Dear Carolyn • I have an older sister, "Mary," and younger, "Tracy," who simply do not get along. Mary hasn't done anything specific like bullying, but I've never seen her openly accept Tracy or be nice to her. Tracy has tried really hard to gain Mary's acceptance, without success. Tracy can be impulsive and thoughtless; she might offend someone without realizing it. So to sum up 30-plus years of sibling discord, they both have been mean and/or disrespectful to the other but neither recognizes it. Now that we are adults with our separate lives, Mary has made it clear to my parents and to Tracy that she doesn't consider her a sister and doesn't want her involved in her life. As you can imagine, this is devastating to my parents, especially my mom, who blames herself. Add to this, I am the "on call" sister for every person in this family. Mom calls me about what Tracy did to Mary and what Mary said to Tracy, while Mary will call me about Tracy and vice versa. I'm asked by my mom what to do about this, and my answer is, we cannot do anything, they are adults and this is the situation they have put us in. Am I right to think that, or am I giving up too easily?
Stuck in the Middle
Dear Middle • "I've never seen her openly accept Tracy or be nice to her," for 30-plus years? Sure sounds like bullying to me. Her own home was not safe for Tracy. Wow. So while I agree that Mary is an adult and it's not in your power to make her do anything, this is not just "the situation they have put us in." In every situation that involves you, you make choices. Since every choice is an opportunity to change the outcome, yes, you are vastly underestimating what you can do. You've gotten a lot from being in the middle a sense of importance, "middle child" identity. But it's not working. It's just enabling Mary's cruelty, Tracy's neediness and your mom's unwillingness to accept and let go. So when you start making different choices in all these different conversations, keep yourself out of the middle by scratching off all the old goals of mediation and problem-solving. Replace them with these two goals for everything you say: (1) Tell the truth; (2) Keep responsibilities where they belong.

Re: The Tool Board
Using tool boxes drives me crazy. I have used a board for many years for the reasons you have said. Strangely my 7/16 ring / open end spanner has been missing for a while.
My board is not as nice as this one. Just a sheet of MDF with hand drawn outlines but it works. I'm going to take the next step soon and make a new one on wheels. I'm looking forward to GenII.

Re: The Tool Board
I've worked in a pal's garage with a tool board... makes things go a lot quicker when projects are happening fast.
Easier to put things up as well.
For me, I'm still with a tool box until I get a garage.

Re: The Tool Board
I have always been a toolbox guy. Working out of a tool box I know what is in each drawer and can grab it as fast as one can off the wall. I can see a tool board for one who works casually or if many work from the same set of tools. I don't think that having a tool board will help you keep track of tools any better than a box if you do not have the personality to put things away. If your tools are scattered now, what makes you think you'll change your ways just because you have tools on display? How many shops have you been in with peg/tool boards that are 1/2 empty or filled with anything but tools?

Re: The Tool Board
I've got a combination of the two.
I have pegboard above the tool box and work bench.
All my sockets are on Craftsman rails (the ones with the square pegs and detent balls), so I know when I'm missing sockets.
My wrenches are in racks in my box, so I know when I'm missing them.
Pliers and screwdrivers are thrown in a drawer, and I don't know they're missing until I reach for one and it isn't there.
Hammers are on my hammer stand.
Body tools, chassis tools, service tools (like radiator fin pliers, wiper arm pliers, door panel clip tools, etc. etc.) are in the rest of the drawers.
Pegboard holds a full assortment of wrenches from 3/8 to 1 1/4, at least two of every size--and about 6 or 8 of 7/16, 1/2 and 9/16... so I'm not always wondering where the hell my 7/16 got off to! When I reach for the last one of those, it's time to stop and clean up all the tools.
Other pegboard and lay-out tools, a set of adjustable wrenches (small to huge), squares, my huge honkin channel locks, etc.
I'm not arguing: I'm explaining why you're wrong. YOU are the one who's arguing.

Re: The Tool Board
I'd like to have a vintage tool board in my shop to display some of my older tools. I don't think I would like that setup for any real practical use.

Re: The Tool Board
[QUOTE=chief ben;2577857]I think you will like a tool board, I love both of mine, the one in the welding shop is on wheels so I can move it where I need it at,
and the one in the small machine shop is built on the wall over the work bench,
What a sweetie
Now this is what is meant as "tool control."

Re: The Tool Board
Tool boards or pegboards are must for me. To some it may come across as anal retentive or perhaps as a clean freak, but maybe it's just neat pride.

Re: The Tool Board
I think shadow boards and toolbox foam cutouts definitely have a place.
When I was in the USAF, all toolboxes had to be inventoried before they could be taken on or off an aircraft. In the shop, all tools went back on the shadow board before anyone could go home. Leaving a tool unsecured could have a catastrophic result.
Great method of enforcing tool discipline, especially if your work tasks rarely change, and your needs are consistent day to day.
Much harder to do when you are constantly adding tools to your arsenal or you don't know what you'll need.

Re: The Tool Board
You will not like what I think about tool boards. LOL They are a huge pain in the box! LOL
I am sorry if anyone is not bright enough to remember which drawer your tools are in. I don't fumble and I have 9 roll around boxes in 3 locations. If you can't remember where your tools are how do you remember how to fix what you are working on?
Tool boards get dirty and are harder to clean.
They look like cluttered and I hate the cluttered look
I hate reaching across the bench to grab a tool. I am 6-1 and have long arms and I still don't like it.
I hate having even the good hooks come out of the board.
I don't want to walk across my shop to get a tool.
I was a tool and die maker and working swing shift while I ran my construction company days. As an architect I like to keep things simple. I hate working in a mess like I see in so many shops. If I walk into a garage or shop when needing work done I walk out if it is dirty and cluttered. IT is rare that I need work done. I can do 99.9 percent of it myself. If you can't keep a clean shop I don't need to hire you. If you are sloppy you will do a sloppy job. If you spend more time walking over and looking for things in a cluttered work space than you will spend more time serching than doing the job.
If you have a good tool cart that is has everthing at your finger tips when working fast you will be better off than tools on a board.
With all that said I have 3 shops. One in the end of my huge tractor pole barn. A shop in the back of the house and one in a second 2 car garage in California.
I have a full cabinet shop with a 12 inch jointer, 2 unisaws 20 inch band saw, Hitachi resaws. I have 5 band saws 5 different drill presses and 11 ginders and buffers. All in all I have 81 machines. I have lateral files full of power tools and air guns. They are all marked on the front of the drawers. I use the old bank check files that are 42 inches wide with double drawers. I have them full of clamps special tools etc. I have over 500 clamps. Others are full of sorted nuts and bolts. I have thousands of nuts and bolts, screws and fastners. I have 14 files full of tools and I have cabinets built in all the shops that are full of tools. I know when there is a tool missing because my family does not put things back. I have hundreds of carving tools, hundreds of hand planes, braces and woodworking tools. I really have it all. I have been collecting tools sense 1955. I have 57 set of wrenches. I had to get an inventory for insurance. It took me 6 months of my spare time to list it all.
I am sorry I am so anil. I never loose a tool. When I am done with a job I wipe them down with a rag that has light oil and then wipe them off with a clean rag and put them back.
I don't waste time looking for things. I know where everything is because everthing has its place. Some tools have been in the same drawers for 45 years.
I see so much put up forsale that is full of rust and dirt. If you are gong to put something up forsale at least clean the rust off and make it look good. My tools do not rust, by cabinets don't rust. I put a dehumidifyer in every shop. The shops are kept at 50 degrees in the winter when not in use.
I even oil my shovels and garden tools when I am done. It only takes a few seconds to oil the shovel and hang it up in the garden shed.
I have a full cabinet shop. A full machine shop that has all the sheet metal equipment and wellders. I have all the different welders. I have a hoist and pit.
My shops are not fancy but when you walk in everything is in its place and there is no clutter. File cabinets make great tool boxes for power tools, coards and hoses.
Every time I see something haning on the wall I get the feeling that I should hang myself. Haning tools and items is not handy. If you think so then you are not an organized person. I have cabinets I built on all my walls. I don't have a place to hang things. I have all my bottles, cans and things in vertical metal cabinets. I even have all my cases of oil in cabinets. I don't put things under the work benches. I don't leave anything on the floor that dos not belong there.
Talk about a fast clean up. I even wash down the tool boxes if the get dust on them.
Bottom line. I hate peg and tool board with a passion. They are uggly, usless and dust collectors. You always end up haning something over what is on the board. Then it really becomes a pain in the box. I have been there done that, lived with it and then ripped them down and put them on the burn pile 30 years ago. LOL Funny thing how all my cheap craftsman hand tools made me a good living. I have the Sanp-on and all the other brands becasue I buy estates and lots at auction. I still have the C mans tools from the 60's. The only socket I broke was used with a 2 foot cheater pipe. If you use the right tool for the job you will not break your tools. If you break your tools or damage them then you don't know the propper way to break things loose or are cutting something with too small of cutting tool. Enough said. Hang yourself not your tools. I have thousands of tools and none are in site.
Do you want to know what I really think? LOL LOL This post should stir the pot. LOL

I think they are nice looking when done well but I don't like advertising what I've got. Having a wall full of tool boxes is advertising enough.

Re: The Tool Board
I don't like tool boards in practice for two main reasons: Wall space is too valuable a commodity in my cramped garage, and even if I had the walls completely empty, I could not begin to get them all hung.
I like the concept OK, but only in concept for limited and defined use. I can and have seen where its effective for some, but as was mentioned, for a casual user of tools; (my brother would be better off with a tool board and a small plastic carry box for getting them to the few jobs he actually does with his hands...)
If one only does wood working I can see that being feasible. I do just about every type of work and have the tools for it, from auto mechanics, to wood working, plumbing electrical, electronics (they are different...) metal fabrication, welding, machine tools, sheet-metal, leather...
There is no way I could get even a commonly used portion of my tools on boards. Again the walls are covered. shelves, parts bins pic-a-Nut selectors, yeah there is one rack for pipe clamps; the pipe clamps nicely frame in my shop phone... The back wall is boxed storage from about 4' off the ground to the peak of the ceiling, under that are storage cabinets, milk crates of parts, and an engine on a stand with another block under that engine...
About a year ago I made a sign and framed it that said "= NOTICE = Some tools in this workshop may have been built before modern guards and safety devices were included as standard design practice. PAY COMPLETE ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND KEEP YOUR BODY PARTS OUT OF THE PATH OF THE DANGEROUS BITS!"
I couldn't find an 8 X 10 spot on the wall sin there to hang it...

Re: The Tool Board
I'm pro tool board for the often used tools, screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers etc. Easy and fast to grab, easy to see when a tool is missing and as they are used all the time they dont get dirty. Tool box for the rest of the tools. Takes too much wall space to put them all on the wall and they'd get dirty.

Re: The Tool Board
Works for some but not for me. Like the aspect of instantly seeing if something is missing but I don't like having all my tools on display on the wall.
I like rummaging through my toolbox to find the tool I want and if I have to take two or three out of the way to get to the one I want that's just fine - lets me get re-acquainted with my lessor used tools. I don't wrench for a living.

late 99 f350 engine inconstant idle, loping, barley running
some background on what ive done in the past few weeks.
i had a bad oil pan and it was leaking so i decided it was time to replace it. so i pulled the engine and replaced it. i had a leaking ebpv and i decided to delete it while i had the turbo off. while the engine was out of the truck and the injectors were right there i thought now might be a good time to look at them. so i took them out and put all new o rings on them and installed them again. inspected glow plug/ injector harness and it was fine with no cracks or broken wires. put the engine in it and after a little cranking she fired up and was running great. i took her out and drove about 80 miles. only issue was i kept blowing off my ds intercooler pipe on the top boot. but other than that it was running great noticeably more power, and throttle response. i was extremely happy with everything and how well it was running.
now for my problem
i was driving it to a buddies house and i noticed when i got there it was idling kinda weird. it was very minimal but you could hear a miss or a funny idle.. when i tapped on the throttle it took longer to return to the stock idle. it would stop around 1200 and sit there for about 10 seconds before returning to normal idle.. also its still making the funny missing noise. well i shut it off and come back about 20 min later to leave and she fires up but still is idling weird. so i start to drive home and my power seemed much less. when i took it out of gear to coast it would have a crazy lope. like almost die and then it would peak at about 1000 rpm. i put it back in gear and gave it some gas and it was running fine( or you couldnt notice a miss just a slight loss of power) so i seem like i just barley get it home and shut it off. i later start it up to move it and it went to high idle.. my high idle switch isnt on just the truck is doing this. it would high idle then to a huge lope idle for about 5 seconds then go to just barley running back to high idle then just keep on being inconstant. there was no pattern to what it was doing. it sounds like a fuel problem to me.. the fuel filter was new about 2 months ago. and i inspected it and its still white no sign of dirt or debris. could i have stiction? im unaware of the injectors age. my truck had 280,000 and was running just fine before i pulled the engine. im just hoping to get some solid answers. thanks in advance

I would start by putting a fuel pressure gauge on it. Could be bad fuel. I filled up at Mejiers once and it ran funny. Bad CPS? could still have air in the lines from pulling injectors. I know people say it takes a while to get it out.

Announcing IBM CloudBurst
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  ibm_cloudburst cloud_computing 3,302 Views
IBM trekked further into the cloud today by announcing new offerings that will help clients to leverage the cloud within their enterprise. These offerings include development environments, test environments, and desktop services running either in the IBM cloud or a private cloud, as well as something called IBM CloudBurst (not to be confused with the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance).
In particular, the IBM CloudBurst offering jumps out to me as a truly innovative offering. This offering promises our clients a complete private cloud solution that includes hardware, software, and services all in a single package.
Essentially it sounds like the IBM CloudBurst offering is all about building out a cloud-enabled data center. The hardware provides the bulk computing power to host private clouds, and the software provides enhanced service management capabilities to give users full control and insight over the elements of their private cloud.
Couple these computing capabilities with included IBM service, and this means clients should be able to get up and going with their private clouds very quickly.
This new offering really seems to hit a sweet spot. While the number of cloud computing offerings continues to grow, few if any offerings take such a holistic approach to providing such a solution.
This type of comprehensive solution gives users what they need in terms of the hardware to host a private cloud and the software to manage that cloud. Just as importantly though, it helps users put the hardware and software to work via implementation services also offered in the solution.
I invite you to take a look at the new IBM CloudBurst offering, and don't forget to sign up for the IBM CloudBurst webcast scheduled for June 25th.

"Scandal" Is Getting Its Own Collection from The Limited!
With some of the best-dressed characters on television, it's no wonder "Scandal" is serving as inspiration for a new range of apparel.
According to a report, The Limited has comprised a Fall 2014 collection set to go live in September with a $49 starting price. It's modeled after Olivia Pope & Associates' wardrobes and they even enlisted costume designer Lyn Paolo for the 42-piece lineup.
Series star Kerry Washington told WWD, "It's been really fun to have a voice at every stage of the production from picking buttons, choosing fabrics and weighing in on hair and makeup people. People who love the look of the show can now step into this world in a way that is affordable and accessible because not everybody can afford to have the clothes they see on the show."
And Paolo told People that Ms. Washington has been a delight to work with. "We spend a lot of time together in our costume room, talking about the tones of a scene, and try to tailor each individual costume to what's happening in her head, in her world, the palette of the set. I think sometimes the rest of the crew wonders what the heck we're doing in there!"

text: NEW YORK, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "Cultural Institutions as Economic Engines for New York City" was the theme of a forum hosted today by Stroock & Stroock & Lavan and featuring Emily K. Rafferty, President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Katherine Farley, Chair of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and Kate D. Levin, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. The three prominent women discussed a range of issues exploring the financial impact of cultural institutions on New York City. Robert Abrams, former New York State Attorney General and Chair of Stroock's Government Relations Practice, and Stuart H. Coleman, Stroock's Co-Managing partner, moderated the panel. "The visual and performing arts in New York City contribute significantly to the city's economy and are recognition of New York City's preeminent global cultural brand," said Abrams. " Emily Rafferty, Katherine Farley and Kate Levin, outstanding leaders of our cultural community, offered provocative and thoughtful insights about the impact of culture across all aspects of life." "Culture is New York's signature industry," said Commissioner Levin. " New York City is the largest arts funder in the country, owns 33 cultural institutions, including botanical gardens, theaters and museums, and funds 900 groups per year." Many of those groups are small, with budgets around $250,000. "They are like small businesses in neighborhoods – everything thrives when culture thrives, and the quality of life and humanity are enhanced." Levin cited Brooklyn as a stunning example of the long-term benefits of civic investments in cultural institutions, from the Brooklyn Museum to theaters and programs across the borough. The presence of these institutions has created thousands of jobs and businesses and helped put Brooklyn on the map as a cultural destination. " Brooklyn is an extraordinary dynamo," said Levin. The Metropolitan Museum of Art attracted 6.3 million people in 2012 – 40 percent of them international visitors – and its programs and financial impact are large. Rafferty described the Met as "a place of renewal and reflection that inspires people to leave their daily lives." As poignant examples, she noted that the museums were able to open the day after the devastations of 9/11 and the Sandy storm, and thousands of people waited outside to visit.

I sing to Tilly. I don't have a good voice, but I sing lullabys, softly to her. Bet she can't associate a singing voice to anything negative. I just keep hoping, and yes, I even pray for her.

This is all great advice. I rescued both my Malts but they were not mill dogs and we do not think they were abused, however, Ozzie was SO scared when we got him we think he was neglected/kept in a cage or was possibly afraid of men for some reason I'd rather not think about... but I really have no idea... Ozzie's background story is very interesting and tragic because he was used as a breeding stud, but the dogs were given away and the business was shut down in the home because the owner's husband was struck and killed by a car chasing a puppy that got out...
Even though Ozzie was not a mill dog, it took several days for him stop shaking, to sit on the couch with us and stop running away from us. We were so lucky that he trusted us quickly...
I would definitely say PATIENCE is the key here!! And having other pups around probably makes her feel safer. I would just give her time... I watched a video of those pups and they were severely neglected. Knowing some of them were so traumatized they would just sit in the corner and shake really says something to what these babies have been through...

I adopted my Nemo one year ago this month, he would also a breeder dog and would run away when we tried to pick he would. I found if I sat on the couch or floor then he would come to me and was not frightened. Most days he will now go to the door to have his leash hooked up to go outside but every once in awhile he will have an issue with it and be afraid again. Patience and time are the most important, the longer you have him and he learns to trust that you are not going to hurt him the less anxious and afraid he will be.

I have barely been on here lately! I'll get on for maybe 10 minutes or so & maybe post a response in a thread & that's about it.
I wanted to update ya'll on Cupcake ~ she is doing really well except for potty training. Still trying to tackle that.
We went to an education class this past week & learned a lot about dog behaviors & they had a special class just for people who are fostering &/or adopting these mill malts. There were about 7 or 8 of us there. There was one couple there who were concerned because the rescue they adopted does not like to be picked up. They've only had him a week! Now I can see how silly I sounded when I was worrying about that very issue after only having her for two weeks. Also, several of the ones there have malts that bite. Not just bite them, but are also biting their other dogs, & not in a playful manner. One lady fears she may have to give hers back because he keeps biting (drawing blood on occassion, yikes) her other dog (also a male, & I wonder if that has anything to do with it?)
Several of them there also said their malt hates men. It really makes me think that a man was the one who they had most of their contact with.
We are so fortunate that Cupcake didn't have major issues. Now I just gotta get her to quit going potty in the house! She'll go outside & run all around, play, have a great time & then go in the house & pee. When we went to that behavior session they said that if she doesn't potty outside, then put her in her crate for 10-15 minutes, then take her outside again & if she still doesn't go, then back to the crate. Do this until they go potty outside & then treat & praise them when they go (I do this, but I wasn't putting her in the crate if she didn't go ~ I felt guilty doing it, but they said don't feel guilty, you have to train her)
I also learned more about the living conditions these dogs previously had. I knew they were neglected & abused, & I knew it was pretty severe, but wow, there was even more to it than what I knew (which was bad enough).

Yaaay for Cupcake! So glad she is doing well.
I am sure it will take some time for her to understand where it is okay to potty and where is not okay. If she was in cage all the time she never had to decide before.
The image of her running around playing outside put a big smile on my face!
I am so grateful that these little ones were saved from such really horrifying conditions. Thank you for giving her a yard to play in!

Jojo....so happy Cupcake is doing better. Potty training does take time. It really is sad to hear stories of fluffs that have come from horrible situations and see what they are afraid of and shy away from.......so very sad. Cupcake is so lucky to have you to care for her and love her....so happy for you both.

Garcia receives scholarship from Walk for Autism
Among the many students filing into classes at Southwest Texas Junior College last week – for the first classes of the spring semester – was Chance Garcia, the first recipient of a $500 scholarship from Uvalde Walk for Autism. Garcia, who was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old, loves to sing and dance. His favorite colors are red, blue, and green, and he is determined to end the semester with an "A."

What are my options if I got a summons to appear in court for a past due loan that someone else is supposed to pay?
Question Details:
I put a car and loan in my name for my granddaughter and gave her full possession of the car. She fell behind in payments without informing me and the car was eventually confiscated, ruining my credit. Now four months later I receive a $7000 summons to appear in court. I am on a fixed income and am unable to pay this. My granddaughter is no account but currently has a job. Is there anyway to get her called into the court instead or with me? What do I do? I am going to answer the summons but I would like to know specifically what my options are?
Whether or not your granddaughter is supposed to pay, it is your name on the loan. Therefore, you are the person legally obligated to pay the loan and the person the lender can look to collect from or sue. Legally, the lender cannot go after your granddaughter or call her into court--regardless of her moral obligation, she has no legal obligation to the creditro. Therefore, you will need to answer the summons, and you will have to find a way to pay the loan--or else, you will be in default, and the creditor can try to garnish wages, put a lien on your property, or reposses the car.
If your granddaughter will not voluntarly either make loan payments for you or reimburse your payments, you may have to sue her to get the money. Howeve, that itselt could be tricky if you do not have a promissory note or contract between two of you obligating her to pay you.

A poll of over 1,000 public school teachers found 85% had seen no improvement in their work-life balance in the course of the past two years.
And nearly half - 47% - felt stressed as a result of their workload.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers, which conducted the survey, said schools must work to implement better work-life balance policies.
"I feel that keeping classes open at weekends and until 9pm every night during Lent term is expected, not extra," one teacher told the ATL.
"I seem to say to myself just get through this week and then it should ease up... but it doesn't," said another.
Independent school teachers are not covered by the workload agreement, where teachers have a guaranteed 10% of their timetable allocated for preparation, planning and assessment (PPA) time.
But Dr Steven King from the Independent Schools Council said: "There is indeed an expectation that teachers in the independent sector contribute fully to school life and that can mean longer hours and a longer working day.
"The associated benefits, though, are enormous: longer holidays, better facilities, increased scope for specialization, often more pay, smaller class sizes and a more disciplined classroom regime," said Dr King.
"It is no wonder then that last year three times as many teachers moved from the state sector to the independent sector as moved in the other direction."
Support staff
In a further survey, the ATL found support staff in state schools were not getting the pay and recognition they deserved.
The union claims one in three support staff have not had a pay rise to reflect new supervisory roles.
Since the introduction of PPA time for teachers in September 2005, some support staff can supervise classes.
But the ATL says many are asked to do more than supervise teacher-set work.
In a survey of 528 support staff members in England and Wales, the union found 66% of cover supervisors were being asked to do more than just supervise classes.
"This goes against national guidance from the workforce agreement monitoring group, which says those working in cover supervisor roles should not be required to do more than supervise work set by a teacher during a short-term teacher absence," the ATL says.
The union, which is meeting for its annual conference in Gateshead, says only 67% of staff have had a pay rise to reflect their new supervisory roles.
'Important role'
Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of ATL, said: "Schools need to do more to recognise the value of their support staff.
"Support staff are playing an increasingly important role in schools, and this has to be reflected in the way they are treated," she said.
"Schools should not have any excuse for not paying support staff for the work they are doing and their contribution to school.
"We will be taking this issue up with the DfES, and will fight to support any members who are having problems getting their pay, status and role enhanced in line with the national agreements accepted by the unions and employers."
Schools Minister Jacqui Smith told ATL delegates: "Support staff are making a difference in the classroom, in the playground, in the dining hall and the office.
"Of course that contribution should be properly rewarded and we want to make sure support staff get a fair deal.
"That's why we have set up a working group with support staff unions and employers which will review a whole range of employment issues."
The group would report back at the end of the month, she added.

Damn... Sorry to see that. Thought it looks like it was only the bumper cover that damaged. Impact bar does not look bent. Should be able to fix easily. Sucks to see that happen to a one week old car.
From what it looks like you'll need a new rear bumper cover and clips.
Does the trunk open and shut fine?

Well, it's a white car and those are really difficult to see. Ugh. I'd be gutted if that happened after a week of owning a car. But, more importantly, are you injured? I sure hope not and that you just have whiplash or something.

But you can extract models in EZ00, EZ12, etc...
There you will find enemy zombie with its common texture, you capture it, but in 3dmax, you must place the crisom head texture (helping wiht the material editor) instead the common texture. The UV cordinates are equals, so it works.

Video of a turbidity current!!
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time – thanks to Dave Petley for the link. This event occurred in Cabo San Lucas, on the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. I imagine that these divers were reef-diving (as evidenced by the angelfish in the first few seconds of the video). This turbidity current starts out as a small flow on a very steep slope (more than 30 degrees) and is quickly overtaken by the main part of the flow. The real action starts then, as this current is moving very fast (more on speeds below), and it much thicker and turbulent. This flow quickly overtakes the scuba divers and keeps flowing downslope. You can see in the video that the flow keeps thickening with time, entraining the surrounding seawater (here is a paper about how hard it is to model entrainment).
I ballpark this flow to be moving about 5 m/s, or about 10 mph (from my rough estimates of distance in the video), which is similar to turbidity currents measured in nature. Jingping Xu measured currents with instruments in Monterey canyon at 2.8 m/s, and numerous papers measuring submarine cable breaks estimate speeds from 5 to 25 m/s. It is important to note that velocity and speed are two different things, and that shear stress is more important than either when discussing sediment movement (i.e. erosion and deposition) associated with turbidity currents. More on that in another post. For now, just enjoy the turbidity current – click this image to see the video – I cant figure out how to embed the video…
Here is the link in case you need it – http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c45_1342620679. This is awesome.

Can anyone tell me the laws restricting self installed catalytic converters?. Source online say "no you may not do it yourself" but others say go for it. As well there is plenty of places to buy your own. so im not sure how it can be illegal if purchasing is. I am not currently concerned with burning up the car or exhaust issues as it is 10 degrees or less here in Minnesota currently. Part appears to be 50-60 for average.
Also, what is involved with installation? looks to be a few bolts and some prying.
Thanks all.

Re: Catalytic
I figure that as long as there is a converter on there, and it's for that car, what's the big deal. Getting it changed may be somewhat of a hassle though. You may wish you would have had it done at a muffler shop, unless you have some tools to work with, like a torch etc.
Re: Catalytic
Yea after some research it appears install of a direct fit OEM part wouldnt be a huge hassle after lifting the car. The odd thing though is the fume escape has stopped, its mid winter and was below zero all day. Could snow kicked up into the under body make temporary smoking or what would allow the converter to spew then seize doing so later?. Even revving the engine now I do not see any fumes escaping it.

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital
Pueblo at Bath Street
Santa Barbara, CA 93103
Hospitals have a noble mission to care for the sick, treat the injured, and bring babies into the world. But the healthcare facilities also have a long history as top garbage producers, generating vast amounts of paper, plastic, food, and toxic waste that end up clogging landfills. Over the past decade, the industry has made great strides in reversing its unhealthy impact on the environment. In 1998, the American Hospital Association set goals to reduce hospital waste by 50 percent by 2010. Cottage Health System has achieved that goal in just eight years, through the efforts of environmentally-conscious employees who have made it their passion to create "a greener Cottage." The goal of a greener Cottage is to improve health services and administrative practices in an ecologically sustainable manner, without lowering patient safety or care standards. One of the biggest impacts on the environment is trash going into landfills. All across the nation, landfills are reaching their capacity. In the Santa Barbara area, the Tajiguas Landfill is expected to reach maximum capacity by 2020 and will be closed. Eight years ago, the City of Santa Barbara realized that it needed to change its waste disposal habits quickly, because city residents were sending 70 percent of all garbage to the landfill. Only 30 percent of waste was being recycled. The city set a goal to reverse those numbers: the aim was to reduce landfill waste to 30 percent and to increase recycling to 70 percent. Cottage has this ambitious goal within its reach. After working for years to pump up recycling, Cottage significantly reduced its solid waste and in 2009, only 35 percent of its waste was sent to the landfill. Recycling at Cottage increased ten-fold over the last decade—from 82,000 pounds recycled in 2000 to nearly 1 million pounds in 2009. Ruben Cosio, director of hospitality services and chair of the Environmental Sustainability Committee at Cottage, explains the major steps that led to the recycling turnaround. "In 2006, Environmental Services came under the wing of Hospitality Services," he said. "With these two departments working together, it allowed us to have the additional resources we needed to get the results we wanted for our recycling goals." The biggest impact in keeping waste out of the landfills came from recycling all of the cardboard boxes and packaging that piled up at the hospital daily from shipments of supplies, food, and other items. By working closely with vendors and suppliers, Cottage has been able to reduce waste. "We've been building relationships with vendors that share a common interest in the environment," Ruben says. "We chose companies that understood that recycling was important to us." In 2008, Cottage took another big step to reduce landfill waste by participating in the city of Santa Barbara's pilot composting program. "Cottage was the first participant in the city's program, and because of the very stringent regulations the hospital must follow, we knew that if the program could work at Cottage, then it could be successful anywhere," said Stephen MacIntosh, who spearheaded the launch of the composting program for the city. Cottage now composts about 7,500 pounds of food waste per month, with nearly 90,000 pounds composted last year. This is the equivalent of 24 vehicles being taken off the road, according to the city's environmental analysts. "It's been a great success," Stephen added. "Not only does this reduce the amount of garbage in the landfill, it also reduces significantly the amount of methane (greenhouse gases) going into the air. Kudos goes to Ruben and his team." Despite the achievements, there's still more work that could be done, says Jo Vargas, manager of environmental services and co-chair of the Environmental Sustainability Committee. "I'm proud of the achievements we've made over the last five years," she says "But we've only scratched the surface of what we can accomplish." Here's a sampling of what Cottage is doing to reduce, reuse and recycle: recycled more than 1.7 million pounds of cardboard boxes and packaging last year; placed recycling centers at all elevator landings at hospitals; reprocessed (sterilize and reuse) certain products, such as sharps containers, catheters, forceps, scalpels, scissors, graspers, and tourniquet cuffs; launching a recycling and composting center in the cafeterias at Santa Barbara Cottage and Goleta Valley Cottage; replacing Styrofoam serve ware and to-go containers with an eco-friendly line that is 100 percent plant-based and can be placed in composting or recycling; buying local, organic produce; posting menus on the hospital's intranet instead of printing weekly menus; offering filtered water in cafeterias as an alternative to bottled water; use of online surveys in human resources department to reduce paper waste; recycling obsolete computer monitors and other electronic items; eliminated products containing mercury from hospital storerooms; converted office supply ordering from paper requisitions to online order forms; seeking environmentally friendly products with minimal packaging; use of environmentally friendly cleaning supplies; and hosting a weekly farmers' market at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital cafeteria.

Another Round Of Meetings On Tap Concerning Port Project
Charlotte, N.Y. - Another round of meetings is on tap tonight to discuss development projects at the Port of Rochester.
The City of Rochester holding small group workshops for residents who want to share their thoughts about the proposed developments.
The project that was pitched last month and calls for a hotel with living and retail space to be developed. Some neighbors are worried about parking, green space and low-income housing.
