To make matters worse, the 52LG5000's viewing angle leaves a little to be desired, with some pretty severe drop off in colour saturation and black level response once you start sitting at an angle of any more than 40 degrees or so from face on.
Now we're firmly back in a negative frame of mind, it's worth adding that although they're eye-catchingly vibrant, colours are also prone to one or two suspect tones, especially where skin is concerned. There's a definite trace of orange in the way some flesh looks, and the lack of a truly deep black to counterpoint bright colours during dark scenes can leave them looking a bit radioactive, too.
Please also note that all of the colour tone issues we're reporting are made worse if you make the mistake of setting the TV's 'Fresh Colour' option any higher than 'Low'.
Our more negative comment would be that the 52LG5000 doesn't deliver as much 'HD dazzle' in terms of detailing and sharpness as some of its best rivals. For instance, the fur of the CGI Sabre Tooth tiger (they couldn't find a real one, apparently) in 10,000 B.C. doesn't contain quite as much clarity and hair delineation as it does on our reference Pioneer plasma or Philips LCD screens. Skin tones, too, tend to look a bit waxy thanks to their slight lack of definition.
Or at least this lack of HD precision is the case when there's any sort of motion going on. To be fair detail levels are up there with the best of them with relatively static HD shots.
The final area of concern regarding the 52LG5000's pictures is its standard definition scaling. I found that images from all but the very finest quality SD sources look rather noisy, and the whole orangey/waxy skin tone thing sometimes goes into overdrive.
Sonically the 52LG5000 is a pretty respectable effort. It produces some very high volumes during the 10,000 B.C. slave/mammoth revolt finale, while retaining good dialogue clarity (especially with Clear Voice in play) and pushing subtle effects over a decently wide range. Bass levels are solid, too, though not quite deep enough to stop the occasional moment of harshness creeping in.
The 52LG5000 isn't anything like the horror show we'd feared it might be after spending time with its much smaller sibling. In fact, with the right sort of bright, colourful, relatively static HD footage, its pictures can look very appealing indeed - and this could be enough to win it many fans given its price, especially if you can feed it a predominantly high definition diet.
But at the same time various shortcomings cause its pictures to slide dangerously close to average territory a bit too often for comfort, especially if you spend most of your time in standard definition land.

In the words of Dada, "We all think we are chasing the guru, but really, you see, he is chasing us."
All I knew about the hardships of India made me sure I didn't want to go there, yet in October of 1971 I found myself at JFK Airport with two friends, waiting to board a plane for Bombay. A large crowd of our New York "spiritual" group had come to see us off, or, as I suspected, to make sure we actually got on the plane. We were all three in varying states of panic, wondering what we were doing. Both the panic and the confusion were to intensify a hundredfold when we actually arrived in India.
We three, like nearly all the group of Westerners we eventually joined around Maharajji, first heard of him through Ram Dass. Yet, though my life totally changed after the night I first heard Ram Dass lecture, I did not feel drawn to go to India. Partially, the mystique of what going to India represented in those days made it seem presumptuous for me to even consider the trip. Nor was it clear to me that the power of the awakening I had experienced was, in fact, a connection with Maharajji—that he could possibly be my guru. We had all heard how difficult it was to find him. And what if he sent me away as he had others?
Now, three years later, I was going to India, but I still hadn't the temerity to chance rejection—I was going to see some south Indian saints and perhaps later "visit" up north, if there seemed any hope of being received.
Coming off the plane in Bombay, we were met by an airline representative (in India, a feat in itself), who advised us that we had reservations on an afternoon flight to New Delhi and that tickets were waiting for us at the counter. This was a stunner, but after a twenty-six or twenty-eight-hour fight we were too dazed to feel more than mild wonder. After all, we were in India—anything could happen here. (This mystery of tickets and reservations to Delhi was never solved in any "reasonable" way.) In Delhi, we thought of going to the American Express office to ask for messages, as we had planned to do in Bombay. After all, since we were here, there must be a message. There was: "Go to Jaipuria Bhavan in Vrindaban. Maharajji expected soon." It was signed, "Balaram Das." We didn't know who that was.
We learned that Vrindaban was not far from Delhi and that we could get there by an afternoon train. Somehow we never thought of pausing in the relative Westernness of Delhi. The message said go and go we did. We thereby learned the first great lesson of India: Never travel by third-class unreserved coach! It was the equivalent of a three-hour ride on a New York City subway at rush hour, with the addition of sunshine, dust, and engine smoke pouring in the open windows.
Eventually, we battled our way off the train at Mathura, and in the glowing dusk of the Indian plain, whose beauty we could not then appreciate, we found a bus to take us to nearby Vrindaban. There we were put down in the large bazaar of what to all appearances was a thirteenth-century village of winding alleys full of people, rickshaws, dogs, pigs, and cows. By now it was dark and most of the illumination came from lanterns in the shops lining the streets. We asked for directions to "Jaipuria Bhavan" in our nonexistent Hindi and were directed first up one alley and then down another. It grew later and the shops were beginning to close. Our panic grew with our exhaustion and hunger, for even if we came upon the hostel we would not recognize it, for every sign was in Hindi. We began to envision ourselves huddling for the night among the cows in some doorway.
Then suddenly approaching us appeared a Westerner—someone whom I'd met the year before in California. In hysterical relief, I threw my arms around him, but he, an old-timer in India, was totally calm in the face of our emotion. Oh, yes, Jaipuria Bhavan was just there, around the next bend.
During the next few days, the small Western satsang (community of spiritual seekers) began gathering at Jaipuria Bhavan, awaiting Maharajji's arrival at his Vrindaban ashram (monastery). Many of them we knew from America, including the mysterious "Balaram Das" whom we'd known as Peter. We heard their stories of Maharajji with relief and anticipation. He didn't sound so fierce and terrifying after all. Then word came that he was here! The next morning we could go to have his darshan.
I arrived at the ashram a little late with Radha, nervously clutching my borrowed sari and the offering of flowers and fruit. We circumambulated the temple and pranammed (bowed) to Hanumanji*, then approached the gate in the wall between the temple garden and the ashram. How well I remember that green wooden door! When we knocked, the old chaukidar (gate-keeper) opened it a crack and peered out at us. Then, as each time afterward for as long as I was in India, I wondered if he would let us in. But he stepped back, pulling the door open for us. I looked through, down the vista of the long verandah along the front of the ashram building. At the far end, Maharajji was sitting alone on his wooden bed. When I saw his great form, my heart jumped so that I staggered against the gate. That first sight of him is still piercingly clear in my memory.
Radha had already rushed through and I ran after her, losing my sandals along the way. It was all so simple and familiar—bowing at his feet, giving the fruit and flowers (which he immediately threw back in my lap), weeping and laughing. Maharajji was bouncing, smiling, and crowing in English, "Mother from America! Mother from America!" During that first darshan, though Maharajji spoke mainly in Hindi, I understood everything without the interpreter who stood nearby. And I recognized the love that had poured through Ram Dass, that had irresistibly drawn me to India: Here was the source.

Sounds like a good deal to me. If that was your frist one 3 months was fast for a learning gun smith. Will be waiting for the pictures. Good luck and good shooting.
It took me 3 long months to aquire all the parts, but I finally fitted and assembled my 1911. I now understand why custom houses charge so much for their guns. It isn't just the cost of the parts, but the very painstaking process to fit the parts. I have come away with a great appreciation for the work that goes into building a quality 1911.
I started with an Essex s/s enhanced slide and G.I. frame.
The frame is cut for Novak Lo-mount rear and dovetail front, lowered/flared port,extended ejector, and front/rear serrations.
I purchased the balance of the parts from Brownells, they include:
C&S Tactical Match Trigger set. 4.5lb pull
Nowlin drop-in light trigger, and s/s extended tactical mag catch.
Ed Brwon Drop-in Match Barrel and pre-fitted Bushing.
Novak Low-mount fixed rear tritium with matched front tritium sight set.
Ed Brown Hardcore s/s Slide Stop, FPS, firing pin, recoil spring guide(blued), s/s recoil spring plug, and s/s rebuild pin/spring kit.
Wilson Bulletproof s/s Extractor, extended tactical thumb safety, and drop-in s/s beavertail grip safety.( this safety doesn't require cutting the frame)
Masen s/s arched checkered MS housing.
Wolf 18.5lb progressive recoil spring and extra power FP spring.
Mec-gar 8rnd magazine.
I spent a week fitting these parts with the help of both Kuhnhausen shop manuals and a dvd featuring Bill Wilson and Ken Hackathorn. I also did a complete dehorn job on the gun using 400grit paper to break all the sharp edges.
Then it was off to the range for a shakedown. I was using 230gr wolf ball ammo. My gun was printing 5 shot groups of 2-2.5in @ 25yds. I had no failures to feed, eject, or fire at all. I put 100 rds through it and then took it down to inspect for any abnormal wear and found none. I cleaned it up and relubed it with Gun Butter.
After I get about 1000rds. through it to break it in well, I am going to send it off to Robar for a complete NP3 job.
It was a very satisfying first build. I am planning my next build using Caspian parts as a base. I'm hooked
Photos will be uploaded after I borrow the wife's new digital camera (her x-mas present)
here are some photos

You'll like the NP3. Great stuff.
Can't wait to see it.
I'd say everybody here needs to see it. It's an addictionyou know.
Wow: Great looking Gun!
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
You have a beautiful gun, and a great experience in building it.
Gun manufacturers can get "ready-to-run" parts that really just go together and work. Some have their labor done off-shore, some like Colt do it the hard way, and here. You built yours from a cornucopia of fine, aftermarket parts, and had a great, albeit short [1 week] experience.
"Top drawer" full-on customs, with their swoopy super-fitted beavertails. checkered, serrated whatevers, generally, are labor intensive, and expensive eye candy. Form is nice, fit and function are what really matter. It looks like you have made a pretty good selection.
Please let us know how it shoots, eh?
It sure looks like a fine job to me Easher. Keep up the good work as they do get a little bit easier the more you do. That's what I been told. I am a big chicken when it come to building one from scratch. Good luck on all your future projects.
Looks like you did a great job. How does it shoot?

GFCI and Single Pole Switch
I have an outlet that I'm replacing with a GFCI (its an old house with no ground wires). This outlet is connected to a single pole switch. The power (2 wires, black and white) goes to the outlet and then there are another 2 wires (black and white) going from the outlet to the switch. Is it possible to wire this? What would I need to do to get this working?
Everything I tried either trips the GFCI when I turn off the outlet or just trips the whole breaker when I reset the GFCI.
Does it trip even if nothing is plugged into the outlet and any light also connect to the switch has its lamp unscrewed?
Double check your wiring in the outlet box to have: White from power cable to line side silver or white (or receptacle body side with larger prong slots) of receptacle unit. Black from switch cable to line side gold or black (side with smaller prong slots) of receptacle. Other two wires connected to each other. Nothing connected to load side terminals of receptacle unit. All ground wires (green and/or bare) to each other with an extra length of bare wire connected to receptacle green screw if no green wire already provided.
You can not wire this gfci up.
Modern GFCI receptacles require power to be able to reset.
When you turn the switch off, kill power to the gfci, then you have to reset it everytime you need it.
You can lose the switch if you need gfci protection.
I was incorrect about this info, so please disregard.
That would mean that in case of power failure, all the GFCI units in the house would trip and need to be reset when power is restored. Increase the chance of food spoilage if a refrigerator had to be plugged into a protected receptacle and then did not get its power back automatically when power was restored.
I don't recall this happening in my house, however all the GFCI's are more than 4 years old.
But this setup works with the GFCI, and the GFCI does not trip when the switch is turned off.
(I'll also mention that these were all brand new Leviton SmartLock GFCI's purchased at home depot a couple days ago.)
See my edit in post #3!
Here is a diagram for a switched receptacle. It is not GFCI but the wiring principals are the same http://www.howtoelectric.com/diagram...wiring-diagram

Amid Nursing Shortages, Schools Employ Strategies to Boost Enrollment
Enrollments in bachelor's-degree nursing programs have declined consistently over the past five years nationwide, dropping 4.6 percent in 1999 alone, according to the latest annual survey by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). And while enrollments in master's programs grew steadily through most of the 1990s -- thanks to increased interest in nurse practitioner and other advanced clinical nursing programs -- they too have experienced slight declines in the past two years.
In some cases, lower enrollments are the result of intentional cutbacks due to faculty shortages, state-mandated enrollment caps on baccalaureate programs, a limited supply of clinical training sites, or other resource constraints. But, in large part, the decline -- particularly in entry-level baccalaureate programs -- is an indication of lowered interest in nursing careers in recent years.
One reason is the proliferation of new career opportunities for women, who still make up more than 90 percent of the RN workforce. Another is lingering belief that nursing is not a secure job, a hangover from a few years ago when news media were awash with reports of hospital cost-cutting and RN layoffs under the pressures of managed care. But in many regions, today's workforce situation is the exact reverse, with escalating demand for baccalaureate- and graduate-prepared nurses being felt keenly throughout the health care industry. Already, increasing numbers of elderly, rapid expansion of front-line primary care, higher numbers of registered nurses (RNs) approaching retirement, and other pressures have led to mounting shortages of RNs in more markets across the nation. Indeed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment for registered nurses will grow faster than the average for all U.S. occupations through 2008.
Some schools are seeing the change already. At the University of Texas at Tyler, Dean Linda Klotz says that while the College of Nursing is receiving fewer applications, "applicants are more qualified, so our enrollment has been consistently increasing slightly over the last six years." The news is the same for some private schools: Elaine Marshall, dean of nursing at Brigham Young University, notes, "We have a unique situation of high interest in nursing with more qualified applicants than our programs can accommodate." At Bethel College of Minnesota, "Our basic baccalaureate program has a longer waiting list than in previous years," reports nursing chair Sandra Peterson.
But for many nursing schools nationwide, it's been an ongoing challenge to keep application and enrollment numbers up. Instead of waiting for the tide of public perception to shift in favor of nursing careers, schools are battling slipping or stagnant enrollments on the home front with creative recruiting practices that range from movie theater advertising to innovative partnerships with hospitals in an effort to fill more student slots.
Proven Strategies
In a recent survey by AACN for this bulletin, deans were questioned about methods they've employed in recent years to boost enrollments, particularly in bachelor's-degree programs. Here are some of their proven approaches:
Recruiting from within. Encouraging associate-degree nursing graduates to continue their education is a simple, inexpensive way to boost enrollments in Bachelor's of Science in nursing (BSN) programs, deans are finding. "We go to job fairs put on by associate-degree programs, and we've been very successful in getting new students this way," says Connie Carpenter, director of nursing at Oklahoma Panhandle State University. "We are not talking about large numbers, because we are located in a very rural area, but I predict that our fall enrollment will be the largest we have had to date for our program that started in 1996." At Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Nursing Chair Pamela Watson goes to hospital-based diploma programs and associate-degree programs "to talk about the value of advancing one's career potential through advancing one's nursing education. Then I talk about what we are doing to promote career mobility."
Judith Karshmer, head of the Department of Nursing at New Mexico State University, has found success recruiting from bachelor's- to master's-degree programs. "We use a longitudinal approach. It starts when they are admitted to the bachelor's program -- I start to talk about grad school, planting the seeds," says Karshmer. "Each semester we have a group exit interview for the BSN students in which I give them a picture of their progress toward that master's degree. When they are close to graduating, I tell them I can guarantee a certain number of traineeships that pay tuition plus a $10,000 graduate assistantship, but they have to go straight into the program. Lots of them have never worked in nursing before, and they think it's pretty nifty to stay on for an advanced degree and be paid."
Advertising and promotion. In the same way corporate recruiters use advertising to attract fresh talent, nursing schools are utilizing media and promotional outlets to advance messages about their particular academic programs, and about the rewards of a nursing career. At Baker University School of Nursing in Kansas, 1999 enrollments for the entry-level baccalaureate program were up 21 percent over 1998, a situation Dean Kathleen Harr attributes to "greatly intensified recruitment efforts." These included a combination of radio and newspaper ads, and a year-long run of still slides shown at local movie theaters before the start of the films. The school also set up a prominent display at a large regional mall in Topeka.
"The movie ads are designed not necessarily as a call to action, but as a way to increase the visibility of our program to the local community," explains Harr. "We think it's been effective because many potential applicants have commented on them." The radio ads too, have prompted calls from potential students. "The strongest message we can radiate is the one students provide us -- the reasons they give us for wanting to come into nursing. We've found many are drawn to the field because they are caring people who want to help others. So we try to portray nursing in its humanistic light. We use images showing a student nurse holding a baby, for example."
She acknowledges that many nursing students enter their studies with the idea that they want to take care of infants or children, and then change their minds when they discover all the other opportunities available to them. "But this nurturing image is what draws them in initially, so that's what we focus on."
Priming the early pipeline. The message that nursing is a rewarding career choice is being directed at younger groups as a way for schools to stimulate interest that will pay off in years to come. Indiana University-South Bend's nursing school, for example, offers college-credit courses on their campus to high school students in such areas as medical terminology and introduction to health careers. Allentown College of St. Francis De Sales in Pennsylvania is piloting a nursing camp for interested high school students this summer, and Southern Connecticut State University has worked with a local magnet high school for the past few years "which has resulted in several students coming to our program," according to Nursing Chair Cesarina Thompson.
Janet Sipple, chair of nursing at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Penn., says her school concentrates on high school and even younger students. "We have declared war on the situation in our profession," she asserts. "We've turned to our senior clinicians for help, encouraging those who are happy and excited about nursing to conduct 'shadow days' for high schoolers interested in nursing."
Shadowing students spend the day at St Luke's Hospital alongside a practicing RN, getting a first-hand glimpse of the many facets of nursing. "Afterwards, we call them to let them talk about their experiences, and ask any questions." The program can be labor-intensive for the school, but the payoff is great in terms of exposing the profession. "It's been outrageously successful," notes Sipple. "Students come away so excited. In the two years we've been doing it, we've had at least 50 shadow graduates choose nursing careers. Not all have come to our school, but at least they are out there preparing."
Moravian College is also part of a small consortium of Lehigh Valley colleges that includes Cedar Crest College and Allentown College, working together to expose nursing to middle schoolers in grades 6 to 8. Through assemblies, coloring books and programs with scout troops, "We are helping younger girls -- and boys -- discover the varying roles they can take on as nurses," Sipple says.
Reaching even deeper into the pipeline is the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Tex., which has begun targeting students as young as elementary school. Dean Nancy Schoenrock explains that the School of Nursing has been conducting "career days" at local elementary schools, sending a student nurse and faculty member to introduce kids to the world of nursing. "We'll show up with an infant mannequin and a stethoscope, and have hands-on activities, give out stickers and prizes, and so forth. In many cases the only contact children have with nurses is when they are getting a shot. We want to expose them to more positive images of nursing at an early age." She points out that there is plenty of competition from other professions, and that some children make decisions very early about things they want to do in life. "What we do now may have an effect in 10 years."
Targeting underrepresented and nontraditional groups. Throughout 1999, AACN held regional conferences for the Division of Nursing of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to develop recommendations for expanding baccalaureate nursing enrollments. One key finding in the subsequent report was the need to recruit more minority students and faculty. "Diverse populations benefit from seeing someone who 'looks like them,' such as student and faculty role models," the report stated. Many schools have stepped up efforts to provide tutoring and remedial opportunities for English as a Second Language, set up mentoring programs targeting minority high schoolers, and link up with historically black colleges. For example, a partnership between the University of Florida (UF) College of Nursing and historically black Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach aims to increase minority enrollment at UF's graduate nursing programs through a range of activities. Among them are the Gator-Cat mentoring program to assist students who want to pursue graduate study, joint faculty workshops and teaching exchanges, and the appointment of a full-time faculty member liaison.
Issues of diversity also extend to gender -- males being an underrepresented group in the profession. Although men make up just 6 percent of all RNs, that number is growing through better awareness. "We use men in our advertising and photography, and last year we had a male PhD nurse practitioner present our annual lecture to diploma students," reports Sipple. "Afterwards, the men came up to shake his hand and chat -- usually they just disappear." Interested male students at Moravian also receive a complimentary membership to the American Assembly for Men in Nursing, "so they get literature directly from other male nurses, and can better connect with clinical mentors."
Hiring dedicated recruiters. Taking a page from today's hard-pressed employers, many schools are hiring experienced in-house recruiters to help them find adequate numbers of qualified applicants to fill empty slots.
Barbara Witt became dean of nursing at Auburn University two years ago, and as part of her negotiations, arranged to hire a full-time recruiter for the Montgomery, Alabama campus' School of Nursing. "We now have a full-time salaried employee who is a nurse, and 100 percent of her attention is directed toward recruiting and advising students," explains Witt. "She goes to career nights, transfer days, and high schools; does direct mail recruiting; forms relationships with counselors at community colleges; and works with high school future nursing clubs, among other activities."
This option, though costly, enabled Auburn-Montgomery to dramatically increase its enrollment of diploma and associate-degree RNs into bachelor's degree programs from 11 to 50 in two years. "A dedicated recruiter is a front-end investment that takes some years to pay off, but it's worth it," says Witt. "From my point of view, it's the only way to go. Because the recruiter works for me directly, we can make mid-course corrections and be generally more nimble in our approaches." In addition, the recruiter -- a former faculty member -- also handles advising for the RN-to-Baccalaureate program, helping transfer students with their credits and preparing newcomers for academic life. "She understands the students' issues and problems; with that kind of focused attention, we are earning the reputation that this college really cares about its students."
Improving financial aid. Educators point out that many more students would consider nursing careers if their training expenses were defrayed. So despite tight budgets throughout nursing academia, schools are finding ways to build creative financial aid packages that pay off. Fairfield University in Connecticut offers "bonus" financial aid for nursing students, above and beyond what students in other majors receive. Other schools, like the University of Maryland, have boosted scholarship support. Elsewhere, some schools report they are expecting increased enrollments in RN-to-Baccalaureate programs because local institutions have reinstated tuition reimbursement in response to the nursing shortage and competition for new recruits.
Enhancing distance learning. Many deans surveyed by AACN described the positive effect distance learning programs have on enrollments. Norann Planchock, dean of nursing at Northwestern State University in Shreveport, La., reports, "We have finally put the last course in the RN-to-BSN program on the Internet, which we expect to boost enrollment in this area." Nancy Johnson, coordinator of student affairs at the University of Missouri-Columbia Sinclair School of Nursing, notes that several areas of study within the master's program are now available via the Internet, as well as all the core courses. "Our Master of Science Internet courses are being heavily marketed through Web advertising and mass mailings," she adds.
Polishing the image of nursing. Many still hold the view that nursing is a risky, low-status, under-rewarded profession, and some of those people are high school guidance counselors, nurse educators say. In its 1999 report to the federal Division of Nursing, AACN noted the feedback of nursing deans who say that high school counselors often steer brighter students into other majors, such as medicine, science and business, and also encourage many students interested in nursing, especially minority students, to go to community colleges offering associate-degree nursing programs, "consequently not seeming to value" higher educational preparation for nurses. A program to educate high school counselors about nursing roles and careers is "greatly needed," the report urged.
Many schools are making a concerted effort to reach out. For the past two years, members of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Nursing Schools Association have used its resources to be a presence at the annual convention of state high school guidance counselors. According to Villanova University dean of nursing Louise Fitzpatrick, immediate past president of the association, "We try to get all the baccalaureate and higher- degree schools to participate by sending materials and brochures, which we package into a bag for all counselors, along with some other giveaways. We also select certain deans and department heads to be present, and sponsor a breakfast that allows us sit down and talk with them about the state of nursing in our region."
Partnerships Prioritize Student Enrollments
At some schools, applications have increased without special recruiting efforts, but enrollment is still sliding or stable because of unyielding resource constraints. Kathleen Ann Long, dean of the College of Nursing at the University of Florida and AACN president-elect, reports, "We had more qualified BSN applicants than we could accept for fall 2000. A shortage of qualified faculty members was an important factor in our decision to limit the enrollment."
Some schools are forging unique partnerships with local institutions to expand the enrollment pool. The University of Texas at Arlington secured funding from the member hospitals of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Hospital Council to cover the additional cost of 80 more nursing students. As a result, 20 additional students will be enrolling each semester beginning fall 1999, increasing total enrollment in the school's entry-level BSN program from 320 to 400. Also working in partnership to increase enrollment -- and the nursing workforce as a whole -- is the Nursing Shortage Consortium of South Florida, with 35 members in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, including hospitals, staffing agencies, and four nursing schools. In New York, a task force spearheaded by the Kaleida Health System under the direction of the State University of New York at Buffalo will mount strategies to deal with the current shortage of RNs, recruitment and marketing, and faculty aging. The group is comprised of representatives of major agencies, nursing education programs, legislators, and policymakers.

Mets to reportedly host 2013 All-Star Game
Mets to reportedly host 2013 All-Star Game
NEW YORK -- The Mets will host the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field, according to multiple published reports. It will mark the second time in history the Mets will host the Midsummer Classic, and the first time since 1964 during Shea Stadium's inaugural season. No Major League franchise has gone longer without hosting an All-Star Game.
It will also be the first All-Star week in New York since the Yankees hosted the 2008 game in their final season at the old Yankee Stadium.
Reports of Citi Field hosting the game first leaked early last year, though neither the Mets nor Major League Baseball have acknowledged it publicly. An official announcement may not come for several months.
This year's All-Star Game will take place in Phoenix; next year's is slated for Kansas City.

Funeral row erupts as Schiavo's death nears
Page Tools
Hospice protest ... Pat Mahoney of the Christian Defence Coalition talks to the media outside Terri Schiavo's hospice. Protesters were asked to tone down their behaviour.

With the legal battle to keep Terri Schiavo alive all but over, a new dispute has broken out between her husband and parents over what will happen to the brain-damaged Florida woman after her death.
Michael Schiavo, who won his fight to have his wife's feeding tube removed by court order 11 days ago, has made arrangements for her to be cremated and her ashes interred in his family's plot in Pennsylvania.
But Bob and Mary Schindler want their daughter, a regular churchgoer until her collapse in 1990, to have a Catholic funeral service and be buried near their home in Clearwater.
They are also furious that her husband initially denied her communion at Easter. On Sunday Mr Schiavo granted permission to offer the sacrament.
A Catholic priest, Thaddeus Malanowski, said he gave Mrs Schiavo wine and administered the last rites, anointing her with holy oil and giving a blessing. She last received both sacraments on March 18, just before her feeding tube was removed.
The priest's announcement drew applause and cheers outside Mrs Schiavo's hospice from a crowd which had spent most of the day heckling police and protesting loudly. The noise prompted Mrs Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, to ask protesters to tone down their behaviour.
"We are not going to solve the problem today by getting arrested," he said. "We can change laws, but we are not going to change them today ... You are not speaking for our family."
The new animosity between the two sides in the bitterly contested right-to-die case emerged as Mrs Schiavo, 41, entered her ninth full day without food or water. Doctors say she can survive for one to two weeks.
George Felos, Mr Schiavo's lawyer, said that his client had already won a judge's backing for his wishes to be carried out. "My client will scrupulously follow the court order. Her ashes will be interred in the Schiavo family plot in Pennsylvania, where Terri and Michael grew up," he said.
Mr Schiavo, backed by numerous court judgements during a 12-year legal campaign, has always insisted that his wife told him she would not want to be kept alive artificially. Doctors say she is in a persistent vegetative state, leaving her awake but unable to swallow or talk.
Her parents say she could improve but that her husband, who has two children with a new partner, has denied her treatment, despite winning a malpractice payout in 1992 of more than $US1 million ($1.3 million) meant for her care.
The schism between the families began with a row over the medical malpractice insurance payout. "The parties have literally not spoken since that date," Judge George Greer wrote in a court ruling in 2000.
"Regrettably, money overshadows this entire case and creates potential conflict of interest for both sides."
Schindler supporters accuse Mr Schiavo of seeking to end his wife's life so he can get married and control the insurance money of which as little as $US40,000 is thought to remain.
Congress stepped into the case last week when President George Bush signed into law a controversial bill that sent the case for federal court review. But the Schindlers' efforts to have the feeding tube restored failed.
The latest setback came late on Saturday when the Florida Supreme Court rejected a claim that Mrs Schiavo had started to speak the words "I want to live" when told the tube was to come out.
More than 30 activists have been arrested for trespass since last week, most of them carrying cups of water, and police have provided an armed guard to Mr Schiavo and George Greer, the judge who ordered the tube be removed.

" Brand: Fast / Type: Hair Shampoo "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I have used this shampoo and conditioner in the past and didn't honestly see any improvement in the growth of my hair. My friend, however, swears by it, saying that with frequent use, her hair was transformed in just a few weeks. Based on this, I handed over the £19.99 for the set of shampoo and conditioner and gave it another go.
The shampoo is pleasant enough and a little goes a long way. However I do find that when rinsed off, my hair resembles a soggy bird's nest and it isn't until I have used the conditioner that I would attempt to put a comb near it. At that I always leave the conditioner on for a couple of minutes before rinsing through. My hair does look in better condition than before I started using the products and it doesn't seem as limp and flyaway.
My hair does even appear to be a bit longer but I can't honestly say that it wouldn't have grown to that extent anyway and due to having to leave the conditioner on a bit longer for it to work sufficiently, I have ended up blow drying most mornings to dry my hair off quickly which also drags out some of the natural curl that makes my hair appear shorter.
Once I have finished this Faster set, I will probably buy another to give it a fair chance of working. It certainly hasn't harmed the appearance of my hair so at the very least I have bought an effective shampoo and conditioner that have improved the general look and feel of my hair. It may seem expensive but a little does go a long way.
I read about this shampoo and conditioner and asked a friend to send it from the USA.It DOESN'T WORK. All hype. I bet there's no scientific research to back up their claims.My hair grows hair an inch a month on it's own and there has been absolutely no difference to the speed of growth in the past 2 months.Nice shampoo (though no better or worse than any other proprietary brand though way more expensive.Don't waste your money.
I have always wanted beaituful waist length hair but my hair growth is so slow! I have even spent nearly £800 in the past on hair extensions and maintenence for the sake of this!
My friend recommended me this shampoo and conditioner at a cost of £19.99 for both of 360ml bottles. I was a bit skeptical but at these prices, after paying for hair extensions, this was worth a try. If it worked then great, if it didnt then it was not a great financial loss. I was pleasantly suprised
My 360ml bottle lasts for just under a month, but I do use a lot of it at each daily wash. The smell is pleasant. It is easily applied and is thick and creamy and smooth. It lathers well, though irritates eyes immensely. The conditioner is more my favourite than the shampoo. The consitioner smoothes and seems to straighten. After washing with this, my hair always feels shinier and softer and so much more manageable. It is easier to get a brush through it and the comb they provide helps me get rid of dead hair.
As for the length... Definitely! I maybe did not notice a huge difference in a months use, but after 3 months, and using this one day and my ordinary shampoo and conditioner the next, I totally noticed a difference. My hair went from being the bad cut that it was, to mid length, and the short layers around my face which i hated became longer and more subtly blended back into my style.
I am not sure how this product works, whether it just simply helps aid hair loss or whether it actually contains something which stimulates growth. Either way, with results like this I dont care to know! At this price, and free delivery within 2 days, I would recommend to anyone, and I will continue to use this every other day until my hair is waist length and then i will begin to chop layers back into it to achive the look that i am after.
I have always wanted beautiful waist length hair, but it just seems to take to long! i decided to try and give it a little help, and soon discovered this stuff. Fast hair shampoo can be picked up with the fast hair conditioner from fasthair.co.uk for £19.00 each contain 360ml which is meant to be a six week supply. And for those who are a little more sceptical, they also do smaller trial sizes for £8.99 which contain 60ml each.....so its easy to see that the full size is much better value for money, but i still think its a pretty good idea to let you try it before spending more money., and free delievery is also offered on uk orders.
Well, its clear from the name what the claims will be, this stuff claims to make your hair grow much faster than it does already, 45% faster in fact. It claims to work by feeding the hair essential nutrients and proteins to supercharge hair growth. It claims to work within just one month of using daily, and to be suitable for all hair types. It also offers a money back guarantee, but as i did not use this i dont know too many details about that, but it certainly reassured me when making the purchase.
- first impressions-
Well, my first thoughts were pretty sceptical, as it seems to be claiming to be a hair growth miracle, but i decided that if i was going to do it, i should do it right, and i went for the full size bottles rather than the trial size. They came pretty quickly just a few days in fact, and were packaged neatly in a little box. I found that it was annoying that i had to start washing my hair everyday, as i used to wash it ever other day, and so this requirement in the instructions did put me off a bit. The smell was so so, it wasnt great, it wasnt terrible, it didnt really smell like much at all to be honest, which again was annoying since my previous shampoo and conditioner combo had a lovely smell.....but i decided that if it worked in the end it would be worth it. The other thing i noticed was the fact that it claimed to be a six week supply, but did not seem like it would even take me through a month....i was starting to wonder if this would be a huge disappointment.
I managed to get 3 weeks worth of washes from the bottles, only half the length of time it claimed to last, but i already have pretty long hair, so this could be a reason for this, i should imagine it would only last 6 weeks on boy short hair. I found the conditioner did not leave my hair as soft and shiny as previousl shampoo and conditioner combos, i have very dry damaged hair, and despite this claiming to be suitable for all hair types, i found that it wasnt conditioning enough for my brittle hair. However i reasoned that if i had to only use for a month for super growth, then i could go back to other products after and so this only had to be a small stage of dry lacking in life hair. Well despite all the other disappointments in regards to this shampoo, it did do what it said, i used daily for just over 3 weeks, noticing nothing at first, and originally thinking it a huge waist of money, i soon noticed that my hair growth had indeed accelerated greatly, my roots grew in with unbelievable speed that month, and for the months following, despite the fact i used this for just 3 weeks. All in all, i was actually pretty impressed with the results in the end, and i would certainly consider it worth buying. Next time i want longer hair for an up coming event, i will purchase again a few months in advance.
F.A.S.T (Fortified amino scalp therapy) is the only shampoo that I have used that actually makes my hair grow faster!!
I was looking on the internet for shampoos to make my hair grow longer about 5 months ago. And i came across this shampoo.
I have been using it for about 5 months (but without the conditioner - as in my opinion it doesn't do anything to condition my hair). After about a month you could definitely see that it had grown about an inch! which is amazing, my hair didn't grow an inch in 6 months before the shampoo! Now my hair is way past my shoulders and i love it! In total i think my hair has grown at least 6 inches in 6 months!!!
You can use it with or without the conditioner, i suggest that if you want to grow your hair quicker then your should use the conditioner as well, they are both rich in texture and lather quite easily and they ACTUALLY WORK! which is amazing, but it is true! I buy mine from www.garden.co.uk which is a great site but they are quite expensive, they are £9.99 from garden (which is a pharmacy in Covent garden). I would recommend it to anyone it amazing!
Thank you for reading my review

Thank you for reading my review, I hope it was helpful! :D
What if a shampoo promised to deliver you really fast growing hair, as in exceptionally fast growing. Surely you would raise and eyebrow? Well, such a shampoo exists. It is called Fast Shampoo. There is a conditioner as well. It works just like a normal shampoo, but claims to make your hair grow much faster.
I tried this a year or so back, while I was growing out my hair. I had read testimonials on the FAST website and people seemed convinced that it actually made hair grow faster. The shampoo puts it down to the unique blend of ingredients. You won't see overnight results, but stick with it for a month or so and your hair should start to grow like nothing on earth...oh and you HAVE to buy the conditioner as well, otherwise it won't deliver the desired results. I was suspicious, who wouldn't be. Plus, the price tag was hefty, I parted with near on twenty quid for the shampoo and conditioner, both regular sized bottles.
I used the bottles until both had run dry, this was just over a month. I stuck to the instructions, which was to use the shampoo with a warm water, massage in and then repeat, before following up with the conditioner.
At the end of the month, I did not really see much change in hair length at all. I think a lot of this is psychological and you want to think that your hair is growing quickly. The shampoo does deliver a pretty good clean and lathers up nicely, but then so do shampoos which are about two pounds in price! I was not overly impressed. I did not see significant results, so I did not buy it again. It cleans hair, leaves it with enough bounce, but that was about it for me.
It is way too pricey and I have had better results from improving my food diet and drinking tonnes of water.

Welcome to The Warwick Cancer Foundation
Dear Members and Friends,
The Warwick Cancer Foundation is currently unable to offer its regular support or services to Australians facing cancer diagnosis and treatment, their friends or family.
Our peer to peer Facebook page is still operating.
Anyone needing urgent care or advice should contact:
The Cancer Council Australia on 13 11 20
A message from the Founder of The Warwick Cancer Foundation:
After losing my beautiful brother Warwick at 35 to a brain tumour, I had a vision to keep him and his memory alive in some way. I wanted people under 40 to get the support that was missing and to have programs available that addressed their unique issues and challenges when diagnosed with cancer.
For the most part, almost ten years, The Warwick Cancer Foundation has delivered some amazing programs and supported thousands of Australians and their families.
While our recent major fundraiser has helped us to continue our day to day operations in the short term we did not raise enough funds to continue our important work in the long term. For a number of reasons in recent times, the foundation had lost its focus and strayed from its vision in many areas. I am hoping we can continue to get back to where we should be but in the mean time I am regrettably closing all programs.
The board members and I will be meeting next week to decide on a strategic plan moving forward
I am very sorry it has come to this and hope we can come up with a sustainable plan to get the programs going again. We will inform you of what is happening before the end of May.
Take care,
Samantha Lehmann

Recruitment Underway For Students To Attend Oil Drilling School
Written by Staff
The Fort Peck Tribes' Tribal Employment Rights Office is sponsoring an oilfield drilling school taught by one of the world's premiere instructors in the business.
A pre-screening seminar for those interested in attending the school will be held Wednesday, July 11, at the Fort Peck Community College Dumont Building in Wolf Point from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The prescreening seminar will help find students that are dedicated and committed to participating in the oilfield training.
Once the screening is complete, 15 students will be selected and each will receive a $2,500 TERO scholarship, allowing them to attend the training that begins on July 16.
Reg MacDonald, president and CEO of Maritime Drilling Schools Limited, will teach the 10-day course. MacDonald has been teaching oil drilling and related courses since 2000 and is accredited with the International Association of Drilling Contractors. MacDonald has received numerous awards for his work, including being nominated for the 2002 Ernest and Young World Business Award and Entrepreneur of the Year. His former students are now working for more than 100 drilling contractors around the world.
As the Bakken oil patch expands into northeastern Montana and the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, more workers will be needed to meet the demand for oil industry employees, said Kevin Buckles, the tribes' TERO director.
"This is a great opportunity to learn the nuts and bolts of oil drilling from a world-class instructor," Buckles said. "You'll learn everything from regulations and safety to the mechanics of oil drilling."
Space in the course is limited. Potential students are asked to be at least 18 years old, pass a drug test, have a Fort Peck Tribal I.D. card, a valid driver's license, a high school diploma or G.E.D. and able to attend 10 days of class with no absenteeism. Women and veterans are encouraged to apply. To register for the pre-screening seminar or for more information, contact TERO at 768-2460.
Reg MacDonald's web site can also be found at www.mdslimited.ca.

text: Jan 31, 2010 - I have fine, wavy hair, but lots of it. It is not naturally dry at all, and my scalp tends to be more toward the oily side. Gelebration Spray didn't do too much to help my hair in any way and was thus a waste of money. It's for finer-haired curlies like me, but I thought that it was too light to help me much with curl formation, and it had no holding power at all. It seemed mostly like spraying water on my hair with the tiniest bit of gel mixed in. By the way, I've used all the Jessicurl products in the unscented versions, and even though each has its own very light natural smell from the ingredients in it, I do appreciate the opportunity to be able to purchase products without strong scent!

Senator Graham: 'Scumbags' in the White House Lied About Benghazi
Susanne Posel ,Chief Editor Occupy Corporatism | The US Independent
May 3, 2014
Senator Lindsey Graham said on a radio program that "the scumbags are the people in the White House who lied about [Benghazi]."
Bret Baier, spokesperson for the NCS, told media that President Obama was not in the Situation Room during the attack on Benghazi, but in the White House and being briefed constantly on the unfolding attack.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (HOGRC) has issued a subpoena for John Kerry, Secretary of Defense, with regard to recently released documents regarding Benghazi.
Darrell Issa, chair of the HOGRC said in a letter to Kerry: "The State Department's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack has shown a disturbing disregard for the Department's legal obligations to Congress."
Issa continued: "Compliance with a subpoena for documents is not a game. Because your Department is failing to meet its legal obligations, I am issuing a new subpoena to compel you to appear before the Committee to answer questions about your agency's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack."
Angered by the recent documents provided by a FOIA request by Judicial Watch (JW), Issa asserted: "It is disturbing and perhaps criminal … that documents like these were hidden by the Obama administration from Congress and the public alike."
Recent emails from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made by Judicial Watch which indicates that Ben Rhodes, speech writer for President Obama, "conducted meetings with" former UN Ambassador Susan Rice to collaborate on her now infamous "Benghazi comments".
Journalist Jennifer Rubin asserts : "The Rhodes memo certainly seems to confirm the allegations Republicans have been making for more than a year: the White House was intentionally spinning after the attack so as not to damage their reelection prospects. The White House denied this, and now there is evidence the critics were right. Isn't the mainstream media the least bit curious about what happened? You'd think their new-found independence and critical analysis of Obama foreign policy would provoke some rumination about Benghazi. Or perhaps, they are simply unwilling to recognize that they missed the boat all along and concede that conservative media scooped them again and again."
Issa is appauled that "these documents were withheld from Congress for more than 19 months [and] the [US State] Department is not entitled to delay responsive materials because it is embarrassing or implicates the roles and actions of senior officials."
Last December, the New York Times (NYT) reported that al-Qaeda was not involved in the attack in Benghazi.
The report reads: "The attack was led, instead, by fighters who had benefited directly from NATO's extensive air power and logistics support during the uprising against Colonel Qaddafi."
Speaking about the diversionary video used by the Obama administration as the catalyst for starting an incident, the report claims that "contrary to claims by some members of Congress, it was fueled in large part by anger at an American-made video denigrating Islam."
The 14 minute film produced by Sam Bacile, informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) whose real name is Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was ascertained to be the cause of the outrage which resulted in an attack in Benghazi, according to the Obama administration.
Back in May, the Obama administration released 100 pages of emails concerning the investigation in Benghazi.
Michael Morrell, deputy director for the CIA released a memo with lines redacted wherein the CIA warned about Islamic extremists.
This censorship was approved by the US State Department.
In the emails, the "talking points" begun by UN Ambassador Susan Rice were outlined. The CIA apparently approved the information before Rice spoke to the press.
The actual cover-up regarding Benghazi continues because neither the US government, their agencies, nor the media is willing to address the real reason Benghazi happened in the first place.

Two dead after bus crash on Linden/Soesdyke highway
-several injured
A minibus accident on the Linden/Soesdyke Highway last evening claimed the lives of two Lindeners while several others escaped with minor injuries.
Dead are Roger Hudson, 29, who was the driver of the bus BSS 4774, and Kathleen Marks, 36, a mother of four. The incident occurred at around 6pm in the vicinity of Long Creek, about 20 minutes from Linden.
Injured are Kerry Fraser, 35, of 331 Berbice Road, Mackenzie; Yuannie Robinson, 26, of 48 D'urban Street George-town; Telisha Scott and Shondel Chand of 527 East Ruimvelt. Also injured and treated were Marlon Washington of 183 Wisroc Wismar; Ceon Anthony, 28, of Wisroc; Seon Lamazon, 29, of 18 Section C Christianburg; Marlyn Alley, 29, of West Bank Demerara; Jonelle Gordon, 25, of 114 First Alley Wismar and Mark Nurse, 28, of 92 Half Mile, Wismar.
All of the injured were discharged after being treated by medical personnel at the Linden Hospital.
"I been in the front seat and the bus went driving like at 140/160 (mph) and suddenly, the bus like one of the tire puncture or something…the bus start swerve from the left side of the road straight into the right side…but before it run off the road it start topple, topple couple time, turn over, the driver, the girl next to me, everybody actually pitch out the bus just me alone de left in the bus," a passenger who asked not to be named, recounted to Stabroek News.
He said that the 15-seater black Pitbull minibus was not packed and when it began toppling, persons began screaming and some were thrown out.
Marks was seated next to a window and she was thrown out of the bus as it toppled over the second time, the man said.
The passenger ex-plained that some of the persons were rushed to the Linden Hospital Complex by passing public-spirited persons who had also called for ambulance backup. Those who were not taken by private vehicles, were taken by the ambulance.
One of Marks' sons, upon hearing of the accident, rushed to the hospital and was told that his mother had died. He told Stabroek News that his mom was on her way home to celebrate his birthday as she had left for Georgetown earlier in the day.
Marks' brother-in-law Romain Huthson told Stabroek News that his brother Ricardo Huthson called Javin learned of the accident sometime after 6pm but did not know that it was fatal.
He said that he rushed to the hospital and his brother arrived shortly after only to get the news that Marks had already died.
He said that the housewife has four children and was the foster mother of two of his brothers.
Barbara Hudson, the mother of the bus driver appeared to be very traumatized by the accident and had to be given medication as her blood pressure sharply rose when she went to view her only son's corpse.
A relative explained that it was the first time the woman showed signs of being hypertensive.
The woman sat in disbelief at the hospital even as she was comforted by a member of her church.
Police were seen at the hospital taking statements from the injured as their investigations continue.

The 5 most annoying things our kids say – and what we can do about it
Listening to our children chatter often feels like a gift from heaven. Regardless of their age, hearing their voices is almost a divine delight. Whether they are telling us about their day, singing a song to themselves, or playing happily with siblings or friends, those happy precious voices can be bliss.
Every so often, however, our children change their tune. Soft, happy gentle voices become abrasive, acerbic or just plain annoying. When they do, we often struggle to react in helpful ways.
For example, your three-year-old might ask for lollies for breakfast. When you reply with a 'no', he bursts into tears, proclaiming, "It's not fair. You don't understand!"
Here are 5 things we hate hearing our kids say
Do these sound familiar to you?
"It's not fair!"
"I'm not your friend anymore."
"You're mean."
"I hate you" or "I hate this family."
If your family is even close to normal and if your children are older than three, there is every chance that you have heard at least a few of these statements from time to time. ("Whatever" doesn't usually arrive until the teen years, but when it does, it makes parents' blood boil.)
How are we supposed to respond when our children say things like this?
The standard approach
Most parents respond to these kinds of big, emotional outbursts from their children in one of two ways.
The first is the 'tough love' approach. It goes something like this: "Suck it up, princess. Life isn't fair and the sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be."
Some parents may adopt a softer version of that statement, but the message is still the same: "Tough luck. That's life. Get used to it."
The other common response I hear from parents whose kids are whiny or angry is to adopt a logical approach to the situation. They remain perfectly calm (which is praiseworthy in itself), and they take some time to explain to their child all of the reasons that it is much more fair than the child realises, that it's fine not to be my friend because I'm the parent, that I'm not being mean at all, and that you don't really hate me or everyone in this family. Some particularly patient parents even respond to the eye-rolling 'whatever' with a level of logic that is almost super-human given the emotions it can create in the rest of us mere mortal parents.
An empathic approach
Neither response is particularly helpful, and neither response brings with it any real respite. This is because at the heart of our children's (often loud, incorrect and annoying) complaint is an emotion that needs to be recognised in order for the situation to resolve in a positive way. What our children are really looking for is some kind of acknowledgement and validation to their feelings that something is wrong.
Think about how you would like to be responded to when you feel like crying out, "It's not fair!" Usually you will be feeling frustrated, slighted and helpless. You're probably looking for someone to listen to you, recognise your feelings and help you find a solution to your perceived injustice.
Being told to deal with it, or having someone sit down and logically explain to you all the ways it is fair, will often only drive your feelings of unfairness deeper.
How do we respond empathically?
The Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence at Yale University suggests that empathy can be described in the acronym, RULER [1]. Each letter represents a different emotional skill:
- Recognising an emotion
- Understanding it
- Labelling it
- Expressing it, and
- Regulating that emotion.
World-renowed relationship expert Dr John Gottman would call this process "emotion coaching" [2]. In a five-step process, Dr Gottman suggests parents should:
- Be aware of the child's emotion.
- Recognise the emotion as an opportunity for teaching and intimacy.
- Listen empathically and validate the child's feelings.
- Help the child label emotions.
- Set limits while helping our children problem solve.
"Bah humbug" might be a common response to this seemingly laborious process of dealing with a slighted child. But the research is in, and the results are important. Children with empathic adults around them are less anxious, less depressed, less likely to abuse alcohol and other drugs, less likely to bully, and more likely to perform well at school.
Next time your child whines that you're mean, or that it's not fair, take a breath and try the emotionally intelligent, empathic response. Look at your child and gently say, "You feel like this isn't fair at all, don't you. You wish things were different."
When they say "Yes!", validate their feelings. "I know. Sometimes it's so hard when you have to do those jobs. It feels like there should be more people to help."
As they calm down, set limits together: "What do you think we should do?"
When they tell you that they should be allowed to watch TV, acknowledge that feeling, and then guide them to a better response: "That would be awesome, wouldn't it! But we need a better solution than that."
Being understanding and empathic takes patience and commitment. But when kids feel understood and when their needs feel like they're being met, they tend to stop feeling as though life isn't fair or that we are mean. Instead, life makes sense, because we have helped them feel understood.

  Customers are always impressed when they learn about the simplicity, resiliency, and rapid time to value they can received from virtual applications. However, they are usually a little mystified at how virtual applications really work. After all - they have become quite accustomed to doing things the "traditional way" where they control every aspect of their applications manually. Virtual Applications represent an entirely new way of thinking. Sure, the benefits are enormous but can you really trust them? How is it doing all of this anyway?

  What seems like "magic" is really a sophisticated and coordinated set of activities driven and coordinated by IBM Workload Deployer while leveraging the expertise built into the pattern type. Yes, you can trust it because experts have worked to build the system and created to it react and respond much faster than you can. When moving away from manual processes to automated processes it is always nice to get a sense of what is really happening. I think it is just human nature. We can't really place our trust in something until we have first hand experience or understand what it is really doing ... I guess it is the critic inside each one of us. Even after you've experienced the value it is still reassuring to see and understand the "how".

  It is the "how does it do that?" type of question that I attempted to answer for virtual applications in a blog post I wrote on the Expert Integrated Systems blog recently. It attempts to pull the curtain aside and describe what is actually happening to support a virtual application pattern. As with my previous post - this was written for IBM PureApplication Systems but the concepts are 100% applicable to IBM Workload Deployer. I think you will find it interesting ...

  Applications - just like humans, animals, plants, and many other things - have a life cycle. They are conceived, given birth, grow, do foolish things in youth, hopefully improve over time, have problems that need to be fixed, don't always age well .... and eventually they will die and release their assets to the next generation. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?

  One of the many benefits of virtual application patterns in IBM Workload Deployer and related IBM offerings is support for the complete life cycle of the application. You can manage the complete life cycle of virtual applications from a single interface that is fully integrated and well thought out - not just a series of links from one product UI to a different product UI. This eliminates the complexity of having to work with different interfaces, paradigms, metaphors, controls, labels, names, authorization, and so on - that is often the norm in many customer environments today. I think the benefits of this integration are obvious - eliminating confusion, configuration, miscommunication, interpretation, and mapping errors. Providing a truly complete solution also facilitates a common knowledge base and encourages cooperation and collaboration among teams. You can share patterns, providing consistent governance for a solution, guarantee consistency in deployments, and build upon the expertise provided by others. Having an integrated solution for design, development, deployment, configuration changes, monitoring, and problem determination ensures that time is not wasted and valuable information is not lost.

  Of course, this complete life cycle management isn't the only benefit of virtual application patterns - but it is significant. I wrote a blog post about this topic from the perspective of IBM PureApplication Systems on the Expert Integrated Systems blog. The concepts around this topic for virtual applications are 100% applicable to IBM Workload Deployer. Continue reading ...

 In the previous post I spoke about how a Virtual Application feature introduced in Workload Deployer v3.1 actually had benefits for Virtual System patterns as well. In that case I was talking about the ability to deploy Virtual Applications running on AIX to PowerVM hypervisors and how this had hidden benefits for Virtual Systems as well. This is a great example of how an enhancement to Virtual Applications can sometimes benefit Virtual Systems. However, this is not the only instance where the two pattern types intersect.

Several other new or enhanced features that are primarily for Virtual Applications are also being extended to benefit and improve Virtual Systems ... and vice-versa. One such area of improvement involves Shared Service in v3.1. These services were introduced in v3.0 specifically for the benefit of Virtual Applications. However, several enhancements have extended these capabilities to Virtual Systems and likewise, some functionality that was previously only available to Virtual Systems has been extended to Virtual Applications in the form of Shared Services.

 As you may already know, Shared Services were first introduced in v3.0 and are just what the name implies; services that are deployed by a cloud administrator and used by multiple virtual application deployments. Let's start by taking a look at the shared services available under Cloud -> Shared Services in v3.1. You will notice that there are now more shared services listed than there were in v3.0.

  In addition to the familiar Caching Service and ELB Proxy Service (formerly Proxy Service) there are now additional entries for an External Caching Service and an External Application Monitoring Service. For simplicity let's just start from the top and go down the list, discussing the function of each service, what is new/improved for v3.1 with regard to virtual applications, and when applicable how this service can be used by virtual systems.

Caching Service

 The Caching Service was introduced in v3.0. Its primary purpose is to cache HTTP session data using a highly scalable and fast in-memory cache. This is the same core technology that is included in our WebSphere eXtreme Scale and DataPower XC10 Caching appliance. To make use of this service all you need to do is deploy an instance of the Caching Service with the configuration parameters of your choice into a cloud group where you want to leverage that service. As you create virtual application patterns you simply select the Enable session caching check-box when you add a scaling policy. When this pattern is deployed it will be automatically configured to leverage the Caching Service for session persistence. It's as simple as that.

  Several new features were introduced in v3.1 for the Caching Service. First, the Caching Service can now be launched with parameters to define the behavior for automatic scaling to meet the ever changing demands of your applications. Once set, Workload Deployer will manage this service to ensure sufficient capacity based upon your requirements, adding or removing containers. Second, and this is significant for Virtual System patterns, the caching service has been enhanced to add new operations to support listing, creating, and deleting various types of object grids. You can then use the WebSphere eXtreme Scale ObjectGrid APIs to persist and manage content in the grid from your application code from Virtual System deployments. This saves you the trouble of creating and configuring your own caching service for these purposes outside of the cloud and permits sharing of the service you have already configured - a nice savings.

Caching Service (External)

The External Caching Service is one of the new additions for v3.1. Let's say that you already have configured a caching solution for your enterprise using the DataPower XC10 appliance or a collective of appliances. It would be nice if you could leverage this same solution instead of launching yet another caching solution within your private cloud. Leveraging your existing solution would consolidate your caching needs and preserve the cloud resources for other purposes. With this new external caching service you can do just that. It provides you the ability to leverage an external caching solution for both your Virtual Application session persistence needs as well as your Virtual System and even non-cloud caching needs. Just point an instance of this external caching service at your DataPower XC10 caching solution and all of the HTTP session persistence needed by your virtual applications in the same cloud group will make use of the external caching service. You can also point multiple instances of the external caching service in multiple cloud groups to share the same XC10 appliance or collective.

Monitoring Application (External)

With the External Monitoring Application service you can deploy an External Application Monitoring service reference within a cloud group to point at a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server installation outside of the cloud. The TEMS server must be at version 6.2.2 Fix Pack 5 or later. Once created, the Unix or Linux OS monitoring agents and the Workload monitoring agent that is provided for virtual application workloads will be automatically connected to the defined instance of the Tivoli server using the supplied primary and fail-over Tivoli Enterprise Management server, protocol, and port. This is especially useful if you want to consolidate all of your monitoring to a common console. As with the External Caching Solution, this enhancement also extends the integration capabilities of Virtual Application Patterns beyond the scope of your private cloud and allows you to consolidate and leverage investments you have already made.

ELB Proxy Service

The Proxy Service was first introduced in v3.0 and renamed to the ELB Proxy Service in v3.1 for clarity. As the name implies, its primary purpose is to provide routing and load balancing to multiple deployed web applications. As with the caching service, you deploy this service based upon your requirements for load and availability within a cloud group. When defining virtual application patterns to leverage this service you simply add a routing policy and define your virtual host name. When the virtual application pattern instance is deployed to the cloud group the necessary configuration will performed to add the virtual host name and configure your application environment to use the ELB Proxy Service. New in v3.1 is the capability to scale the ELB Proxy Service itself to meet the changing demands of your application mix.

  One other item that I should point out (and to which I've already alluded) is that you can now deploy multiple instances of each of the shared services - one per cloud group. Shared services can also now be deployed using environment profiles. This was not previously the case in v3.0 where each service was a singleton for the appliance. Allowing multiple instances of shared services gives you the flexibility to configure the sharing of your services as necessary for your particular environment.

  I hope this post has provided a useful overview of the value of shared services and the new capabilities introduced in v3.1. I also hope that you can see how these services make it easier to implement your solutions for both virtual applications and virtual systems within a private cloud environment and shed a little light on how we are continuing to improve IBM Workload Deployer. As always, these improvements are driven by the feedback we receive from you so please let us know what you think!
