Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
There are 3 main things to do to treat panic without medication.
1st, consider psychotherapy. It is a great treatment proven to help panic; in fact, research shows therapy is a better treatment than meds like effexor. You usually need to go weekly for 6 months...you can get away with every other week if you are seeing a CBT specialist (cognitive behavioral therapy).
2nd, I also recommend learning some formal relaxation therapy (yoga, tai chi, meditation,etc). All these treatments are proven by studies using sophisticated brain scans to calm down the brain. (Btw, psychotherapy is also proven by similar studies).
3rd, here are some great self-help books which can help: 1) Panic Attacks Workbook: A Guided Program for Beating the Panic Trick by David Carbonell 2) The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) by XXXXX XXXXX;
And don't foget that anxiety relates to mind-body health...so improving nutrition & exercise will always be helpful. Good luck & take care.

light issue
yesterday i installed my hitch harness (finally), it was a lot more difficult than i anticipated. but i got it done. my problem now is...my front passenger side turn signal bulb works but does not turn on when the lights are on, whereas my drivers side turns on when the other lights are on and blinks when i turn the signal on. not sure which side is doing the right thing but i never noticed this before. does anyone know what could cause this?
Re: light issue
so the front, right.
no lights on, blinker blinks amber.
lights on, amber on solid. blinks if turn signal on. returns to on state when turn signal goes off.
the bulb that only does one thing. i would switch them to rule out the bulb.
Re: light issue
it has to be the bulb...talked to another guy on the JU forum about it also.
i was paranoid it was something i did with the wiring...im going to swap bulbs after work and hopefully problem will be solved!
Re: light issue
Which harness did you install that was difficult? DrawTite has a plug and play version that just plugs into the taillights, plus you gotta drill one hole for ground. Hardest part is ziptying up the wires.
Re: light issue
the mopar harness. the harness for the 05-06's plug into the tail lights like that but since 07+ have different tails the harness switched and you actually have to splice it into wires under the hood.
Re: light issue
I didn't have to do any splicing into anything on my 08.
Re: light issue
wish i knew that before, the first company i got the harness from sent me the wrong one and wouldnt let me return it so im stuck with that and out $80. then i had to spend another $90 on the right one and im in this mess..who knows how much its going to cost me now!
Re: light issue
welp...some more issues popped up tonight...i realized not only is the motor for my p*ssers not working but i have NO tail lights! my break lights work fine and my turn signals work fine but NO tails what-so-ever! this blows...any help is appreciated!
im going to check the fuses and bulbs tomorrow and im keeping my fingers crossed thats all the problem is if not im undoing the wiring i did, then who knows!
Re: light issue
Sounds like a short somewhere.
Re: light issue
yea i think it was shorting out in a few places...i got it fixed (keeping my fingers crossed that it holds). i didnt change anything, just re-did some wires and neatened it up a little bit...after a few hours of pulling fuses and testing things everything just decided to work. amazing.

Hi All,
3GS (new bootrom) successfully jailbroken, but now stuck on apple screen after trying to unlock.
Followed this link to do so: Unlock iPhone 3GS / iPad on iOS 5.0.1 Baseband 6.15.00 with the Patched Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 - iPhone Applications | The New i Phone News | iPhone Help
Constantly in Recovery Mode(?) after phone restarted after replacing CommCenterClassic. (Note: permissions on CommCenter file weren't able to be set in iExplorer).
I am able to reinstall JailBreak (or other redsnow tools) but run into these errors upon reboot (followed by apple logo, then black/recovery mode):
I can see the phone in iTunes but shift-option click results with "software not installed correctly". Command-Option results with "iphone couldnt be resotred. device isn't eligible for requested build".
Any insight is appreciated.
As per the Forum Instructions...here are some more details:
- iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 installed prior to JailBreak
- New bootrom (pretty sure this is the case...purchased late)
- redsn0w 9.9b9d using "iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw"
- never used Tinyumbrella
- 6.15 firmware before jailbreak

UGH! We get requests all the time at work for information proving the existence of these things.
From my stand point I can truly say that the USAF has nothing on file proving that UFOs are real. During Project Blue Book, all USAF bases were required to log in all UFO sightings and of all of them, only 1% percent could not be explained.
More than likely, the 1% were experimental aircraft, thus being classified at the time, the USAF could not comment.
Just my 2 cents...

Avid Birders Make Annual Pilgrimage to See Treasured 'Birds of America'
USC Dornsife professors Dave Bottjer (earth sciences) and Sarah Bottjer (neurobiology) make a special visit every year to the USC Libraries to view one of the crown jewels of the collections: John James Audubon's Birds of America.
Published between 1827–1838, the four volumes contain life-sized prints of all the known birds in the country, including images of six now extinct. Each plate was printed in black ink from a copper engraving and then colored by hand. Housed in a vault in Doheny Memorial Library, the volumes are commonly referred to as "The Double Elephant Folio of The Birds of America." The term "Double Elephant" indicates the large size of the paper, which measures 26 by 39 inches. The Allan Hancock Foundation acquired The Birds of America on behalf of USC as part of the purchase in 1947 of the Boston Society of Natural History's library.
Audubon undertook his massive project in 1820, making observations while traveling down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. He painted from life and from specimens posed with the assistance of wire and thread. The 433 images he created captured not only the birds' physical appearances but their diets and habitats as well. American printers balked at Audubon's insistence on reproducing the birds at life size, forcing him to travel to the United Kingdom to find printers with the technical sophistication to match his vision.
Audubon initially worked with the Scottish engraver William H. Lizars, but Lizars' colorists went on strike after only ten plates had been completed. Audubon then found the London-based father-and-son team of Robert Havell, Jr. and Sr., who completed the engravings in 1838. Audubon intended for the Double Elephant Folio to be a parlor book, displayed and perused during social gatherings. Due to its great expense, only 175 to 200 complete sets of Birds of America were ever produced. The work is highly coveted by collectors, and new records are regularly set when one comes up for sale.
Avid birders, the Bottjers spent their most recent visit examining the color plates while sharing some of their field observations of the featured birds. "USC is one of the few institutions of higher learning that has a full set of Birds of America," says Sarah, "Audubon's masterpiece of artistic and scientific illustration. As Audubon enthusiasts, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to visit annually with Rare Books Librarian Melinda Hayes and go through one of the four volumes page by page."
Professional bird aficionados are not the only visitors who have recently had the opportunity to take a closer look at these exceptional depictions of American wildlife. Over the summer, one of the volumes has been on display during orientation tours of Special Collections, allowing new USC students and families to interact with one of the most beautiful objects on campus.

Flag burning for 'Invasion Day' photograph, 2006
On 26 January 1788 the First Fleet arrived in Sydney, proclaiming British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia. The day is now formally recognised as 'Australia Day', a national day of celebration and a public holiday. For many Indigenous Australians, however, the day marks the beginning of a continuing struggle against dispossession and cultural loss. In this photograph, Indigenous activists burn an Australian flag in Brisbane on 26 January 2006 to commemorate 'Invasion Day'. Photo: Duncan Pullen.

When you take prescription pain medication, what happens to it? Some people may think that the medication finds its way to a special "pain medicine" compartment in the body, which then sends it out to where the pain is.
This is actually not what happens. When you take medications some of the organs in your body become sort of a "processing plant". These include your stomach and intestines, (also called your gastrointestinal (GI) system), and your liver or kidneys. Even if a substance or medication enters your body through the skin or by injection, rather than through your mouth, your body must still "process" it before it can be used.
During this "processing" everything that goes into your body is mixed together, and they can all affect each other. There are no separate compartments for foods, medicines, and liquids. Therefore, the medication you take for pain can be affected by what you eat or drink, and any other medications that you have been taking. Even the vitamins you took with breakfast or the herbal tea or coffee you had at lunch can affect the way your body processes and reacts to medications.
Everything that goes into your body passes through this plant before it leaves your body.The GI system, where it often starts, does far more than transport food and medicine. The system also helps to break everything down into microscopic pieces, called molecules. Food is broken down into the molecules your body needs to live: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Medicine is also broken down into molecules, and the GI system then delivers these molecules directly into your bloodstream, which carries them to every cell, tissue, and organ in your body.
Connected to the GI system are several "accessory" organs that produce digestive juices, enzymes, and acids that help break down your food and medicines. Two very important organs are the liver and the kidney. The liver serves two functions; it helps to further breakdown these molecules, and it also filters out those that are not used. The nutrients and medicine your body does not use are broken down and discarded as stool. The kidneys help the liver process and filter substances out of the blood, and dispose of them in the form of urine.
Imagine a prescription pain medication traveling through this long, crowded processing plant inside your body, and it will give you a better idea of why it is important NOT to "mix and match" without the expert knowledge of your health care provider to guide you safely.
The key here is not to stop eating, drinking or taking other medication, but to track what you are doing, or plan to do, and to be sure to tell your healthcare provider about it. Why is this important? Because when medications are mixed together—either with other medications or with alcohol, coffee, herbal or vitamin supplements, or even certain foods—changes can occur, and some of them can be unexpected:
When you take prescription pain medications, such as an opioid (narcotic), it is very important to keep track of everything else that goes into your body, and to check with your health care provider (and your pharmacist) to find out what bad interactions may occur. Here is a partial list of what you should discuss:
The human body is amazingly efficient processing plant, but like any other machine, you need to maintain it properly to keep it working right.

Flash memory SSDs are slower than DRAM solutions, and some early designs were even slower than HDDs after continued use. This problem was resolved by controllers that came out in 2009 and later. (wiki)
2.3 Trends in Data Storage Media
Advancing technology has created a situation that has altered previously held best practices
regarding magnetic disk type storage media. Basically the change in track density and the
related changes in the storage medium have created a situation where the acts of clearing and
purging the media have converged. That is, for ATA disk drives manufactured after 2001
(over 15 GB) clearing by overwriting the media once is adequate to protect the media from
both keyboard and laboratory attack.

Wrap up from Alaska to DC:
Veterans Day:
Veterans Day is a day the nation sets aside to reflect, honor and appreciate those who have put their lives on the line for our country and our freedoms. Here in Alaska, we have the highest concentration of vets in America. Seventy-seven thousands of our neighbors, co-workers and best friends have answered the call to serve. It is important to recognize not only their sacrifice, but also the sacrifice of their families, not just once a year, but every day. Words cannot express the appreciation I and so many Alaskans feel for our warriors and veterans. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.
I had the honor of placing a wreath at the National Cemetery on JBER at a Canadian Remembrance Day ceremony. The annual Veterans Day event at JBER is a ceremony that also acknowledges the contributions of Canadians who have fought with us.
Veteran Spotlight- Korea Veteran Herb Stettler:
I am pleased to share the most recent edition of my Veteran Spotlight featuring Kenai resident Herb Stettler, who served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. These days, Stettler is an active member of the Kenai Peninsula veteran community, supporting his fellow veterans and honoring their sacrifice at local events and ceremonies.
Stettler enlisted in the Army at age 20 and his superior officers capitalized on his farm-honed strength by making him a machine gun operator. During his 13 month Korean War tour, Stettler says there were some "hairy times" and he was often called upon to provide machine gun cover for his fellow soldiers to escape enemy fire.
Today, at 82 years old, he is an active officer for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10046 and the American Legion where he works to honor veterans, their service, and our country. It's a commitment the Kenai community returned in an overwhelming way last year, when his home burnt to the ground and the community came together to help him rebuild.
I invite you to hear Herb's story -- how he proudly stepped up to serve our country and the devotion he has for helping his fellow veterans in the Kenai area. If you have a family member or friend in the community you think has a story to share about their military service, email me at email@example.com.
Food Bank Visit:
Last weekend in Anchorage, some of my staff and I helped pack Thanksgiving Blessing food boxes at the Food Bank of Alaska. The project is an interfaith collaboration with Food Bank of Alaska to provide the groceries a family needs to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. The Food Bank distributes the boxes to over 10,500 families in need in Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley each year and 150 of those meals are delivered to Alaskans confined to their homes. Helping pack the boxes was a way for us to lend a helping hand and give back to our Alaskan community as we head into the holiday season.
Byron Washington, a United States Air Force airman, stopped by the Food Bank while we were working. With 28 pounds of food in his refrigerator and about to be deployed for seven months, this conscientious Alaskan donated what he didn't want to leave behind. Here we are with Mike Miller, Executive Director of the Food Bank.
Healthcare Frustrations:
Many Alaskans have reached out to me in the last few weeks about the botched healthcare website roll-out. Thousands have been notified that they will no longer be able to keep their health insurance. The website enrollment process has been a continuous disappointment to the nation, and downright frustrating for anxious Alaskans. On Wednesday the enrollment numbers for Alaska were a dismal 53 people.
Last week I spoke with the Administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services over the problems facing Americans when trying to enroll. Having had only three Alaskans successfully enrolled in the first month via Enroll Alaska, Administrator Tavenner did little to prove these problems were being properly addressed.
When 5,400 Alaskans were kicked off of their current insurance, this came as a surprise given the President's repeated promises that "If you like your health care, you can keep it." It was a pretty simple promise that the President failed to deliver on. This past Thursday, in response to a spectacular failure of a rollout of the exchange and the outrage of millions of Americans, he has recalibrated and has announced that the insurance companies have the option to reinstate the millions of Americans back to their previous plans -- but for only a year. So that promise has been downgraded to "You can keep your health care coverage at least for the next year if your provider will reissue it." This does not keep the promise made to Alaskans, and it does not fix the problem.
I did not support the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as I did not believe that it would effectively reduce healthcare costs and increase access to care. I remain unconvinced and continue to work towards solutions that will reform healthcare in this country.
Sexual Assault in the Military:
Having heard stories from various constituents, who have put on our nation's uniform only to be victimized; it is clearly past time to do something about Military Sexual Assault. For 20 years, we have heard the same story from the officials at the Department of Defense, that they say they are working towards a "Commitment to Zero Tolerance" when it comes to sexual assault. Their words aren't solving the problem. There are still people suffering in silence, oftentimes believing that the military chain of command is working against their pursuit of justice.
I have joined a bipartisan coalition spanning the political spectrum to make a final push to create an independent, objective and non-biased military justice system -- through the Military Justice Improvement Act -- with the Senate expected to debate the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in the coming days before Thanksgiving. I hope we do more than speak. We need to have real teeth when dealing with Military Sexual Assault, and the time to do it is now.
Sochi Send-off:
With under a hundred days until the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia begin, Alaskans gathered in Anchorage's Town Square to wish the athletes good luck before they leave our state to train with the rest of the U.S. Olympic Team. It was great to spend some time with athletes like Kikan Randall, Keegan Messing and Holly Brooks. Representing America, as well as Alaska, is such an honor. I am proud of our athletes and look forward to watching them compete in February.
BP and the Olympics:
BP has very generously donated $1 million to the new Ted Stevens Sports Services Center at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and to existing U.S. Paralympic programs. This new facility will help athletes train, recover, and learn to be the best athletes they can be. Senator Stevens was a champion for the Olympics. As we mark his 90th birthday next week, Ted would be humbled to know that his efforts live on through this amazing facility that help develop our athletes.

The threads on rome screws suck
I'm talking about one of the screws that I took out to adjust the length of the heel cup. All 4 were difficult to screw back in but I managed to get 3 of them in and this fourth one was a huge pain in the ass. Unscrewing it to take it out was no problem but getting it back in was a nightmare and I'm positive I wasn't cross threading it or anything. It was pretty much impossible to get back in since you have to put pressure on the back of the sleeve with your finger. I ended up putting the sleeve in a vice to hold it in place and screwed the screw all the way in to pretty much recut the threads. Now it's much easier to screw in and out so I'm gonna try again to put it back in the binding.
edit: after doing this it screwed in easy. Quick question though, guys with a 12 boot, what heel cup setting are you using? I switched it to the biggest setting from the middle. The manual says 10-12 for middle setting, and 12+ for the biggest setting, so I guess it could go either way. However I noticed there's engravings on the actual bindings with numbers over each slot. The middle slot has 10-12.5 engraved over it and the biggest setting has 13-14.5 engraved over it. wtf

What to see
1. Edinburgh palace
Edinburgh Castle dominates Scotland's capital city from its great rock. Its story has helped shape the nation's story. Battles and sieges were fought over it, royalty lived and died within its walls, and countless generations have been and inspired by it. In the 1600s, the castle became a military base. Some buildings were rebuilt and new ones were raised to house a huge garrison.
2. Royal Yacht Britannia
One of Scotland's biggest tourist attractions is the former Royal Yacht Britannia. The tour gives an intriguing insight into the Queen's private tastes – Britannia was one of the few places where the royal family could enjoy true privacy. The entire ship is a monument to 1950s decor and technologyand the accommodation reveals queen's preference for simple, unfussy surroundings.
3. National Museum of Scotland
Broad, elegant Chambers St is dominated by the long facade of the National Museum of Scotland. Its extensive collections are spread between two buildings, one modern, one Victorian. The museum reopened to the public in 2011 after two years of major renovation and reconstruction. The golden stone and striking modern architecture of the museum is one of the city's most distinctive landmarks.
Where to eat
1. The Dogs
One of the coolest tables in town, this bistro-style place uses cheaper cuts of meat and less-well-known, more-sustainable species of fish to create hearty, no-nonsense dishes such as lamb sweetbreads on toast, baked coley with skirlie (fried oatmeal and onion), and devilled liver with bacon and onions.
Where to shop
1. Armstrong's
Armstrong's is an Edinburgh fashion institution, a quality vintage clothes emporium offering everything from elegant 1940s dresses to funky 1970s flares. It's a great place to hunt for previously owned kilts and Harris tweed, or to seek inspiration for that fancy-dress party.
THE PICK: Arthur's Seat
No other city has an extinct volcano in its limits, so climbing to Arthur's Seat, the tallest of Edinburgh's seven hills, is an essential activity for the able-bodied visitor. As well as an aerobic workout, a jaunt up the hill, combined with a trip to Our Dynamic Earth can also be an enlightening geological education.

We took a day off and went to see Waddesdon today; a 'French chateau' built by Ferdinand de Rothschild to house his immense collection of Bourbon French goodies. And what fun; as good as the Wallace Collection. Better than, if you include the fountains, reconstructed after being bought from the duke of Parma. What superb taste Baron Ferdinand had. The Spirit of Ovid lives; long live the Spirit of Ovid.
And how much more enjoyable than nearby Blenheim, a pompous overblown tasteless monument to Johnny Churchill's treachery to James II. If I have to choose between the taste of Jewish bankers and that of the traitorous clique that kept the House of Stuart off the throne, then give me that of the Jewish bankers any day of the week.

It's true when you think about it.
The first Tito vs. Forrest would have been a great five rounder.
Could you imagine another 2 rounds of Bonner vs Griffin?

Since today is National Signing Day, I thought it would be a good time to write about a future Bearcat.
But not a football player - it's time to tell you about basketball player Kelvin Gaines.
The 6'10", 235 lb. center is redshirting this season after separating his shoulder in October. While Gaines is not playing in games, he is able to practice with the team and travel on road trips.
"We're pretty deep on the front line and his shoulder injury cost him the first month of the season, so by the time he really got acclimated to what we're doing it was mid-December and he was behind the eight ball," head coach Mick Cronin told me. "But even when we recruited him, we knew that redshirting was a possibility."
Gaines has become the pet project of UC assistant coach George Jackson. As the head coach at
"Since he doesn't get to play in the games, he gets extra individual workouts," Coach Cronin said. "He was never really in a high school program for an extended period of time, so sometimes he has two-a-days. If you bring a guy like him in, you've got to put the work in with him. But we'll reap the benefits with him because he has tremendous athleticism. He's got great speed for a big guy. We just have to work on his footwork and teach him some go-to moves."
Gaines came to
"From the first day that he got here until now, Kelvin has gotten a whole lot better," said junior Yancy Gates. "I know some people don't think he'll be ready for two or three years, but Kelvin has made a lot of improvement. You see improvement every day at practice."
"He's my roommate and he's got a lot of upside," said senior Darnell Wilks. "They're trying to develop him offensively right now."
The redshirt year should help. Gaines needs only to look at teammate Sean Kilpatrick to see how a year of practicing against Big East-caliber players can help him become an immediate contributor next season.
"I tell him to just keep working and don't give up," Kilpatrick said. "If you take a day off, you'll be falling back. So don't get discouraged - just keep working."
"It will depend on him," Coach Cronin said. "How much time he puts in, how much effort he puts in, how focused he is, and what he's willing to sacrifice to get better. I'd like to think he can help us next year. That's always the goal."
I wouldn't expect Gaines to score a ton of points in his first season or two, but athletic big men are hard to find and even harder to sign. So while we're all interested in a signing day list of football prospects that most of us have never seenn, I can safely say that the basketball program has a player signed, sealed, and delivered who has tremendous potential.
"He's tough and he's a super athlete so he should be a great shot-blocker," Coach Cronin told me. "He's doesn't have Kenyon Martin's lateral movement, so you can't compare him to Kenyon - but that wouldn't be fair anyway. Maybe Donald Little, but he's a better athlete than Donald. He's the best athlete of all of our big guys. He's jumps the highest, runs the fastest, and is probably the toughest. He definitely likes contact the most."
"The way he can jump is amazing - and he doesn't even bend his knees," Yancy Gates said. "His athleticism is crazy."
I would love to hear from you. The address is email@example.com.

Under car neons
anyone runnin neons under their ride. is so any trouble with wirin or scrubin the ground. i got mine lowered about 1" wit eibachs. any precautions taken to prevent brakage. any advise or feedback appreciated
all I can say is WHY?
Our cars say SUBARU on them, not Honda
If you wanna rice it out, go to a honda forum and ask them, they're experts at making junk look fast while still going slow as crap.
im with you wrxspeed
Around here you'd get pulled over in a heartbeat for having NEON on the exterior of your car.

first chrome wheels, now neons....!Cry! poor scooby.
but i guess whatever makes you happy :rolleyes:
Well, I don't know the manufacturer, but one of the companies makes tubes with a double wall to prevent cracking. I would do some research and go with them
Don't ask me how I know.....

streetglow is one of the better companies....but only if you get the Gold class versions. look at spending about 200 for a GOOD underbody kit.
ok if you are going to do this do it right. tuck the neons up under the car so you don't see them(the light bar). get the street glow gold line they are about $160 depending on where you live. remember the whole point of under body neons is to create the effect of hovering.(just my 2 cents on the whole neon fad)
and you can add mirrors on the top of them to add more light relecting on the ground. if done right..it is nice. if done wrong...you are a ricer
Got em, Put em on, Like em A LOT
Will post pic soon, even bought extra for hood scoop, floor inside car,
And went with streetglow Golds
i am jsut wondering but why does everyone hate the neons? i think blue neons on the blue 02 wrx would look actaully pretty good, if you dont actaully see the stick
hell...i was gonna do pink on the wagon.... :p
I was gonna put some inside of the car, when I bought my indigo gauges, and did the LED mod, but I got too lazy. Besides its illegal to have them on while your are driving.
Neons are something honda ricers do. Ohh well, do what you want to do . At least this isn't a DSM forum, you'd never be able to post again if it was. I grew up with a dsm so my hate for anything on a car that doesn't in some way make it perform better is still present.
wrxspeed lighten up cause honestly not everything is about speed as along as u enjoy your car thats all that counts seriously

Choosing "A Single EA Repository Of Truth For Enterprise": A Dream Turning Into A Nightmare
Posted by Henry Peyret on September 28, 2010
- 588 Recommendations
- 3 comments
As Forrester's EA tools analyst specialist, I am regularly receiving inquiries from EA teams that are encountering trouble choosing the "single repository of truth" for the entire enterprise. Generally, they are oscillating between two products after a long decision process, hesitating in many cases because no one product is able to satisfy all the architects: the EAs, the solution architects, and sometimes the business architects. One product satisfies some architects and not the others, and vice versa; in the end, choosing one single product would not satisfy anyone because for each option that will satisfy a few, some will not use it (generally, for good reason), and it will not give others the information they require to do their job. Therefore, for these EA teams, the dream of getting a "single repository of truth" is becoming a nightmare. I encounter this sort of dilemma in half of the inquiries I receive about EA tools and particularly within the largest companies.
My answers are sometimes difficult for these EA teams to hear:
- First: Do all team members agree on EA objectives for the next two to three years? Do all architects know and share the same IT objectives and priorities? If EA and IT objectives/priorities are not clear, it is not surprising that they want different tools, because a universal EA tool does not really exist at this time. The recent document I published about the EA management suite as a third generation of EA tools explains how the most recent two generations complement each other.
- Second: The dream of a single EA repository should probably remain a dream at the moment. Even in the longer term, it is better to think about building a series of repositories and interfaces between them to support the industrialization of IT as well as to allow IT to participate in APM, PPM, COBIT, COSO, CMMI, ITIL, and other IT best practices. The next document I am preparing with Gene Leganza about metadata architecture will bring more on this subject.
If you faced this problem in the past or if you are currently facing this dilemma at the moment, please share your experience and how you solve the debate internally by commenting on this blog post.

There's no single EA repository
Comment from william EL KAIM (not verified) on Tue, 09/28/2010 - 02:37
This is no secret, there's no single EA repository ... even if some people continue to look for the graal. The architect as the guardian of knowledge in its ivory repository is dead. Business is agile, and EA should be agile. EA information is everywhere and what is iportant is to enable access to it from a central place and to offer some "big picture view" that could be described in detail by other documents and tools.
The knowledge should be built from different sources and aggregated dynamically.
Putting un place a single EA tool takes at least 6 months and cost a fortune.
What is needed here is:
1) interoperability between tools through a unified metadata language
2) way of integrating/aggregating/making mashup of any EA related data
3) innovative solutions using the power of semantics ... Try to get the definition of application in your company ...
Today, the old generation of EA tools is outdated, and the needed tool for today's need does not exist ... You will have to choose between a portfolio and financial oriented tool, or a pure EA description tool (the ones with boxes and arrows).
I do not understand why this sector was not more innovative ...
Next gen EA platform
Comment from Henry Peyret on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 01:50
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint William. I agree with the requirements you are describing, but it seems to me some vendors are coming on 2 of your 3 requirements :
- Mega, Casewise, Metastorm (CIP) and Troux, NoMagic Cameo and others are providing an ETL environment and/or a canonical format. They tend to go to the metadata architecture I am asking to help exchange models between IT siloed applications.
- Mega, Metastorm (Workspace) and Software AG (Mashzone) are offering mashup capabilities.
I fully agree with you the semantics capabilities are not there and it is missing to "value" the EA knowledge.
I would add a 4th requirements which will become increasingly important which is different type of collaborations to help EA share and get knowledge from EA stakeholders. It should include workflow (structured collaboration), IM, wiki, blogs, forums, and new collaborations types. It should go further than what does Sharepoint because the collaboration platform should provide metrics about the contributions. The collaboration techniques should help to recognise the people who share the most. We start to see such collaboration technologies with Software AG Alignspace, Metastorm M3, Lombardi Blueprint, IBM Blueworks. But we are just at the beginning of this trend because the missing piece is the value and metrics
And you what would you add in the future platforms for EA?
Next gen EA platform
Comment from william EL KAIM (not verified) on Wed, 09/29/2010 - 05:41
Not sure that collaboration is not too constraining. You do not need to collaborate to share in Web 2.0 ... And sometimes you do not know where to "hook" the information you have to an existing body of knowledge. That's why semantic (or tagging or folksonomy) is more suitable that collaboration. The objective is to benefit from informal crowdsourcing, feedback and information sharing ...
Then users can "like" your document or "tag" it. Documents should have an owner, but document "connections" should be dynamic and evolve over time.
Today EA tool are too proprietary ... Most of the time you need to program to extend the functionality ... EA tool today are like ERP, with proprietary module and repository (and sometimes even proprietary DBMS or language ...). And to be funny, none of them is providing an architecture description of their tool ... in their own tool. As a customer, that's a minimum you need to have, the app you use being described.
The first reason why architects and company can not deploy EA is the cost of licences. The pricing model is killing EA by itself. The more people you will let access the EA tool in the organisation, the best it will be. Costly user based licences reduces people capability to modify or enahnce the body of knowledge.
So for me, EA 2.0 will come by democratizing access to the platform and enabling everybody to have the capability to create/modify/enhance the descriptions made. Tool miodules enabling to access and manipulate the information (not the metamodel or metadata) should be free for any employee of the company.
I would like also to have my EA tool in SaaS mode.
We all need EA 2.0 ... But the market is not important enough to justify innovation and investments, until now ...

Top Gun (1986) Plot Summary
The first time I watched this moving picture is on a non-public TV station, very affected by his acting young Tom Cruise moment. therefore finally I collect film.

A 'marriage' mocked by Nero's peers. A seriously demented Caesar...<quoted text>
The first historical mention of the performance of same-sex marriages occurred during the early Roman Empire.[68] For instance, Emperor Nero is reported to have engaged in a marriage ceremony with one of his male slaves. Emperor Elagabalus "married" a Carian slave named Hierocles.[69] These were usually reported in a critical or satirical manner.[70] It should be noted, however, that conubium existed only between a civis Romanus and a civis Romana (that is, between a male Roman citizen and a female Roman citizen), so that a marriage between two Roman males (or with a slave) would have no legal standing in Roman law (apart, presumably, from the arbitrary will of the emperor in the two aforementioned cases).[71] Furthermore, "matrimonium is an institution involving a mother, mater. The idea implicit in the word is that a man takes a woman in marriage, in matrimonium ducere, so that he may have children by her."[72] Still, the lack of legal validity notwithstanding, there is a consensus among modern historians that same-sex relationships existed in ancient Rome, but the exact frequency and nature of "same-sex unions" during that period is obscure.[73] In 342 AD Christian emperors Constantius II and Constans issued a law in the Theodosian Code (C. Th. 9.7.3) prohibiting same-sex marriage in Rome and ordering execution for those so married.[74]
A same-sex marriage between the two men Pedro Díaz and Muño Vandilaz in the Galician municipality of Rairiz de Veiga in Spain occurred on 16 April 1061. They were married by a priest at a small chapel. The historic documents about the church wedding were found at Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova.[75]
A speculation that is countered by the attempted 'marriage' of two women in Spain. They were promptly corrected.
That's it?

Hi? How you guys doing?
I was wondering if you could do me a favor -- find the writers, assuming it was writers, who voted for Ridgewood and Clearwater in the latest AP poll, and make them watch a Jon and Kate plus 8 marathon.
Or, better yet, TAKE AWAY THEIR BALLOT!
I'm just saying, you know, since Ridgewood wasn't in last week's poll before losing 52-0 to Land O'Lakes, and now is in the poll. Not only that, but four votes? That means either more than one person voted them into their top 10, or one person voted them No. 7. I'm not sure which scenario scares me more.
Also, Clearwater got three votes in the Class 5A poll, which might only be the best classification in the state. By my count, that means your poll is saying that the Tornadoes (who did at least win last week) are the 16th best 5A team in the state. Oh, and better than Alonso as well, since the Ravens only got a single vote.
I know here at the Times, we didn't nominate either team (no offense, guys). Unless you're including high school newspapers or booster clubs in your polling this year, I can't imagine anyone else who would.
I'm not one for bashing polls, but this is, well, embarrassing. If such a respectable news organization as yourself is going to put your name on a poll, I would think you might demand better. So find these people -- hint: start with the ballots that put Chamberlain and Brandon into last week's poll -- and send them packing.
Since I put together an unnaturally flawless poll myself each week -- the Fab 50, maybe you've heard of it? -- I understand your difficulties and am here to help.

text: At the very heart of Pharmacology is the need to understand the structures and functions of macromolecules such as proteins and DNA, and the exploitation of drug action at these macromolecular targets for the production of therapeutic benefits. The three members of this theme form a highly collaborative and cohesive group focused on this goal. Edwardson and Henderson have worked together for a number of years on the study of biomolecules using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM enables the imaging of individual molecules under near-physiological conditions. Excitingly, a recently acquired fast-scan atomic force microscope allows real-time imaging of macromolecular activity. Current areas of interest include the assembly and activation-induced structural changes in ionotropic receptors and ion channels, the molecular basis of polycystic kidney disease, the interactions of proteins with membranes, and the use of DNA origami as a scaffold for use in the study of protein function and protein-DNA interaction. Rahman's research interests include cellular calcium signalling, with a focus on the behaviour and functional regulation of intracellular calcium channels by second messengers such as IP3. He is particularly interested in their behaviour and regulation at the single molecule level. Rahman is also interested in rational design and development of small molecules that can be used to probe or modulate ion channels and also other signalling proteins.

iPhone Crushing iTunes Store?By
It looks like the first-day demand for the iPhone 3G may have brought down a critical part of the iTunes Store. After you get an activated iPhone, you still must synch it with iTunes before you can use it.
My attempt to do the initial sync on both a Mac and a Windows machine failed. Windows reported a timeout error trying to connect to the iTunes store, while the Mac just sat there forever saying "Connecting to iTunes Store."
An attempt to sync an iPod Touch generated the error message above.
I've reported the problem to Apple and they're checking it out. I'll update when there's news.
Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal. LEARN MORE

Throwing everyone for a loop, Sean Hayes revealed that he married longtime partner Scott Icenogle last week.
The "Will and Grace" star posted a photo with his hubby on Twitter and added the caption, "Here's a #TBT photo of Scotty and me getting married last week. Took us 8 years but we did it!"
Love is in the air for Sean Hayes, who recently took his relationship with longtime partner Scott Icenogle to the next level.
The "Will and Grace" star clearly wore a ring on his left-hand ring finger while paying a visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last week, and during his interview he referred to his music producer beau as "my other half."
As the temperature cools and the leaves begin to change their colors, NBC is ready to roll out a whole new roster of television goodness.
And in the new "2013 NBC Primetime Preview Show," Sean Hayes showcases some of the promising programs slated to hit the airwaves beginning next month.
As the networks continue to announce their new pickups for the upcoming season, NBC greenlit five shows for the 2013-2014 television season.
Based on the novel and 2002 film, "About a Boy" stars David Walton and Minnie Driver and follows a bachelor man-child and a young kid who moves next door with his crazy single mother.
Reuniting with his "Will & Grace" co-star Debra Messing, Sean Hayes will join her series "Smash" for several guest appearances.
The "Three Stooges" actor will play Terrence Falls, a comedy star who is making his Broadway debut in the musical "Liaisons," based on the novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," according to NBC. Reportedly, his character will be a major thorn in the side of other characters.
Coming together for the Hollywood premiere of their newest film, the cast members of 20th Century Fox's "The Three Stooges" gathered together on the red carpet on Saturday afternoon (April 7).
Among those turning up at the star-studded Grauman's Chinese Theatre event were leading trio Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos, as well as "Glee" actress Jane Lynch.

It goes to show that even the most nicely-bred garden climbing plants can get involved in disputes.
It is not just hulking leylandii hedges which can spoil the tranquillity of British neighbourhoods.
But before we hit the offending species with horticultural asbos - or reach for the secateurs - maybe we should ask if they are innocent victims too.
Phil McCann of BBC TV's Gardeners' World blames the Victorians for importing some of the worst offenders - such as the great hate object of British horticulturalists, Japanese knotweed.
This was brought in as a decorative plant but, "once it jumps over the garden wall, it becomes a bully in the neighbourhood," he adds. The same goes for another Victorian import, giant hogweed.
Other plants quick to spread to other people's gardens are Russian vine - a "wild beast", says Phil McCann - and staghorn sumac or rhus.
This scallywag can travel underground and push up shoots 20 metres from the original plant, capable of moving floorboards or carpets, he says.
Bad feeling
Guy Barter of the Royal Horticultural Society, who deals with complaints and queries from the public, says people are living more out of doors, having invested in patios, barbecues and garden makeovers, and are perhaps more sensitive about garden issues than they used to be.
When a plant crosses a boundary and a neighbour cuts it back, this can lead to retaliation and "a bit of bad feeling", he says.
The worst offenders are the more "rampageous" ones, he goes on - especially climbers, trees or vigorous shrubs.
But the responsibility is on the plant's owner to make sure it does not do damage or block access to anyone else's property, Guy Barter points out.
Then there are weeds - on one side of the fence they might not be viewed as much a problem.
"One person's weed is another's useful ground cover," says Guy Barter - but when they spread they can break the gardener next door's heart.
Bindweed is one of the main offenders here, he adds. So is ground elder.
And roots: many gardeners "don't envisage that their plants have any roots at all" - but they have.
Better bet
Many vigorous trees, such as willows or poplars, are not suitable for gardens, he warns - in any case, trees must be kept far enough from boundaries for the roots not to do damage next door.
For shade and screening large shrubs, such as philadelphus, cotoneaster or rhododendrons are often a better bet than trees, says Guy Barter.
Bamboo can work well, too - but that can spread.
Black walnut, for instance, is a common yard tree in America, where its roots can secrete poison into the soil.
But Guy Barter says the evidence for its causing harm in Britain is "very, very slight" and the same applies to rhododendrons.
Phil McCann names lavender as another plant which employs this technique of poisoning competitors - known as allelopathy.
A worse cause of garden disputes, he says, is not plants at all - but gadgets. In the garden makeover society many people have bought noisy leaf blowers and edge trimmers, which make RHS members "hot under the collar" - and leave their fountains on all night.
My neighbour has piled a lot of soil about half a metre higher than ground level against my new fence. He also leaves his sprinkler rattling away against the fence, even when it's raining. Consequently the wood is already warping again . I don't want to get him into trouble with the water board and I'm scared of raising it with him (he seems a little odd and easily angered). I used to love being in the garden but really feel ill at ease now and I don't see how to improve things. Liz, London
Blackberry vines are the bane of my yard. They came in from a vacant lot and took up the whole side of the yard. They have stickers that can cut or pierce a heavy denim jacket, not to mention the standard gardening gloves. I know people who rent goats just to eat the vines.
But on the other hand, the local police encourage the use of plants with sharp stickers for around ground floor windows. Most thugs aren't willing to go through them to get to the windows. Victoria Young, SF Bay Area, USA
Any kind of power tool used on Sundays. Wouldn't it be nice to have one day per week (as protected by law in Germany) when you could plan to have friends round for lunch outside in your garden without fear of conversation being swamped by mowing, strimming, drilling or hammering? With such a large proportion of GP appointments being made because of stress, we badly need one day of peace a week.Jane, Oxford
Here's a leylandi tip from a professional. These specimens were never meant to be grown in gardens over about seven feet. That is to say, they are hedging material and ugly enough when full grown to be an eyesore in any garden. If you trim them as a routine to just over your head height (or even less) you'll end up with an absolutely beautiful dense green hedge. Fail to trim, even when the plants are spindly six footers, and you'll end up with a row of trees with nothing from the ground up to eight foot (i.e. where you wanted the privacy - low down) and an ugly threatening mass tens of feet high with irate neighbours thrown in.Edward James Wilkes, Southport England
Foxes are the worst - one night my flatmate left the bin bag outside the back door. In the morning I saw that it had been attacked by a fox. So I went out to pick up all the bits that were strewn across the patio. Then, in my bare feet, I stepped in something disgusting that the fox had deposited to show it had been. YUK! The council needs to cull them. As for my neighbour's ivy, when it pops through the fence I just reach for my secateurs - simple! I hope they do the same with my little green trespassers. I'm sure all of our gardens grow wanderers too.Rachael, Battersea, London
I have the opposite problem to most. Until a couple of months ago the trees in the garden behind me afforded me a great deal of privacy but now he's cut them down. Now there are at least three houses behind me who can see into my garden and straight into my kitchen and dining rooms.
I'm trying to sell my house right now and the last viewing I had said they loved the house but felt the back was "too open with too little privacy"!!!Alex Bailey, Corby, UK
Even quite large and scandalously expensive new houses now seem to have virtually no garden at all - in which normal, familiar plants, let alone trees, will inevitably cause problems.
While planning guidelines remain in the disgraceful state they are, property speculators will still be able to get away with this - but perhaps such very small plots should no longer be legally termed gardens? If it isn't big enough for at least one fully mature tree (Oak, ash, beech etc.) it aint a garden. Edwood Walker, Malvern UK
My fiancé and I have just moved into a mid-terrace house which for 5 years was occupied by someone who did nothing in the garden. We had some friends round twice to give us a hand and within hours, what had been a nettle, ivy and bramble patch with mint sprigs has been transformed into a rockery, patio and two small beds ready for flowers. The biggest problem now is that the neighbours on both sides have lawns, so we have free grass shoots everywhere!P Thomas, Cambridge, England
Bamboo, folks. Years ago I put a groundcover bamboo into a Japanese garden I was creating and I've been paying the price ever since - bamboo spreads like the measles. A rite of spring is having to yank never-ending root systems out of the ground. Learn from mistakes and keep digging!William Parker, New York USA
Neither plant nor gadget: open windows and stereos turned up loud so that their owners can hear them in the garden, without thought for whether anyone else wants to.Grill, Holcombe, Somerset
Our neighbours have some amazing huge rose bushes that reach over the fence and brighten up our garden. I just wish I could grow plants like that!Stu, Worcester, UK
The thing that bugs me most is all this floodlighting. I love sitting in the dark looking at the stars, but there is a jerk near us who has a badly adjusted floodlight like a military laser which completely destroys your night vision. Now he's put a load of lights around a tree and leaves them on all night. This is really intrusive, wasteful, unecological and rude. I feel garden rage coming on!Roy Smith, Burntwood, staffs
Systematic weedkiller, used carefully and surreptitiously, can help a great deal!David Harrison, Liverpool UK
My parents planted Leylandii hedges in 1987 as a quick solution after all the fences had been wrecked in the hurricane. Little did they know . . . The hedges have finally gone, but only after years of vain struggles to keep them under control. Feel sorry for Leylandii owners. They're victims too.Helen, Wellingborough, Northants.
The constant drone of hover-mowers of a summer's evening drives me nuts. People seem to use them like vacuum cleaners, back and forth over the same patch of grass for what seems like forever. A nice old-fashioned blade mower will do the job in half the time and look much neater.Brian Eves, Hemel Hempstead, UK
What's worst is when massive "play houses" are built next door and affect the plants I have nurtured in my garden. They block the light and create a marsh of moss and permanently damp soil. At least plants can be pruned back!Al Glenny, Pontefract, Yorkshire
My neighbour refuses to do anything about the ivy growing in her garden, that has infested my garden and caused structural damage to my house. She claims she likes the ivy, it is 'pretty'!Martin, Gloucester
Two main invaders from over the fence here are morning glory and agapanthus. Morning glory will twine itself round other plants until it's almost impossible to remove without damaging the plant, and it nearly killed our lemon tree. The agapanthus comes up everywhere, even in the middle of the lawn, grows very fast, and is a real nuisance. Judy Kojetin, San Francisco, California, USA
You think you've got problems. Ha. I am in Canada and we get skunks. They look for grubs by digging big holes in the grass and the legendary smell is worse than you can imagine so stop worrying about a few plants. They grow back, honest. If you don't like 'em, cut 'em again. Grow and cut. Cut and grow. Easy eh?Mark, Canada
The people who live next-door but one to us use their garden like an extra room for a large part of the year. We have no problem with this at all (we're not about to become the 'garden police'), but do find it tiresome that they barbeque almost every night of the week; this is despite the fact that the husband had fairly major heart surgery last year. If it's raining they simply put a tarpaulin over the washing line and barbeque under that! Recently they've also bought one of those outdoor Mexican ovens, which they use wood in - and it fills everyone else's house with acrid smoke. Katie, Faversham, Kent
The house next door to us is unoccupied and their garden is badly infested with all sorts of weeds, including thistle growing 7 feet high and huge big nettle bushes! And although we have tall fences, it hasn't stopped the crawling weeds from spreading over to our side. Since the house is unoccupied, who do we complain to?Joe Heath, Bristol, UK
We have cats and dogs pooping all over our garden and pathway. The reason for dog poop is apparently people around here like to walk their dogs off the leash and do not clean up afterwards. And yet I am not complaining like Ade Morris because I like pets. For cats pooping in the garden, I'd suggest you plant curry plant in your garden - one in each corner. Cats hate the smell and will never set foot in your garden again. Richa Dwivedi, Bristol, UK
The things that cause me most grief in my garden are cats and moaning neighbours!mark, bristol
About 5 years ago, I almost got involved in a fight with my next-door neighbour. The house I was renting had a rampant ivy plant, which was a mess on my side, but was a saviour for my neighbour's side of the garden by camouflaging the ugly fence panels. At that time, I was in this country for merely 3 months, and was not used to the bylaws of the country. I pruned the ivy, but pruning eventually led to cutting it altogether due to my inexperience. My next door neighbour was unhappy, and relatively angry, but we talked through it. Several apologies, a cup of tea later, we were friends. We have been friends ever since, and frequently joke about the "Poison Ivy". I think more people should communicate more, rather than blame others. At the end of the day it is just a garden, and just a plant. Do not get angry over something so trivial. To think that some would kill over a hedge!Seema, Crawley, UK
When my fiancé and his mates moved into their student house in Nottingham, it was ex-residential so the garden seemed fine. Come Spring, there was a sudden outbreak of lily-of-the-valley which nearly swamped everywhere but the lawn. One evening, he and a friend went out and blitzed the place by hand, well, the friend did and he collected some of the better-looking flowers and gave them to me. Sweet, and clean! There are now only a few plants coming up, and while it's one of my favourite plants, there was rather too much of it before!Dawn Hazle, Nottingham, UK
My biggest pet hate is when I cut the grass and I discover that next-door's cat has used both my front and back lawns as its litter tray. Personally I cannot understand why cats should be 'a protected species' when in actual fact they should be classed as vermin, spreading such diseases as Toxoplasmosis and the like.Ade Morris, Cardiff
Ivy growing throughout wooden fence from next door's to my garden - it is hard to get rid of and spreads quickly and damages the fence.Jana Little, Thatcham, Berkshire

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, as of now, cluster.git master branch has been split into several projects.NOTE TO PACKAGERS/USERS: do _NOT_ package/use those trees. This is the beginning of a new development stage, they will be extremely unstable and not suitable for production. We will not accept bug reports or provide any support on those trees for a long time.
The main consequence for all developers is that fixes and changes need to be propagated in more trees and branches.
The new projects only have "master". For all the other branches, cluster.git is and will remain the authoritative tree. If you are unsure where a commit should go, please ask. The new projects/trees are: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/cluster.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/dlm.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fence.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fence-agents.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/gfs1-utils.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/gfs2-utils.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/rgmanager.git http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/resource-agents.gitEverybody with commit access (FAS) to cluster.git has automatically access to all the trees.
In order to build the new trees:- - make sure to deinstall everything from the previous versions of the stack.
- - checkout all of the above - - configure, build, install each tree in the following sequence: * cluster.git * fence.git * dlm.git * rgmanager.git * gfs2-utils.git * gfs1-utils.git * fence-agents.git * resource-agents.git(PS I am perfectly aware that the order can be slightly modified here and there.. this is just one way)
In order to avoid complex build issues, the new trees will install 3 static libraries (and 3 headers) more on your system. Those libraries will either disappear in time (libgroup for example) or turned into proper shared libraries later on.
The only known regression compared to the old monolithic tree is the lack of group_tool. At this point in time it's the only tool that requires a complex bootstrapping but it will be addressed... just not today.
There is still a lot of cleaning that needs to be done on those tree in respect of configure/Makefile and doc bits. Please be patience and report to me any build related issue.
