September 1966: I am 13 years old and in a religious education lesson at Kingswood Comprehensive, Corby. There is a girl in my class, Joy Rowell, who I have a bit of a crush on. Joy is a serious girl: she reads books for her own amusement, by somebody called Jane Austen. Mr Tuffin, our RE teacher, has been talking about protest songs. Joy seems to know what he is talking about and brings to school an LP by a singer called Bob Dylan. I've never heard of him before. He could have been the lead singer with the Tremeloes, for all I know.
But Joy Rowell speaks of Bob Dylan as if he is important and different from other pop singers, in the same way she speaks about Jane Austen being important and different from other writers. Bob Dylan is important because Joy Rowell says he is. This I knew before I had even heard any of his music.
Late August 1969: I am one of several hundred thousand people standing in a field on the Isle of Wight on a Sunday evening. Our eyes and ears are focused on a stage where a band called the Band have been playing for an hour. Then this diminutive man in a suit walks on stage. The audience cheer - a late-1960s laid-back cheer - and the small man starts to sing in a strange, strangulated voice.
This is Bob Dylan - Joy Rowell's "important" Bob Dylan. With his white suit, cropped hair and wispy beard, he looks a million miles from the figure that graces the LP covers. He sings a bunch of songs, says no more than two words to the audience, and is gone. No encores. He is on stage for no more than 33 minutes, for which he gets paid a reported £33,000, when the average weekly wage for a working man was £28. It would have taken my dad 20 years to earn what Dylan has just earned in little over half an hour. No wonder he doesn't sing protest songs any more - what does he have to protest about?
That week, there was an article about Dylan in Melody Maker. Not an interview - Dylan did not give interviews. In this article, the journalist asked: "Why are we bothered about somebody who obviously can't sing, is pretty rudimentary on the guitar, who makes a racket on his harmonica and whose records always sound like he didn't care what they sound like?" If the journalist came up with an answer, I cannot recall it. What I can recall is that on my way back from the Isle of Wight festival, I decided that Joy Rowell was wrong. Bob Dylan was not important.
Fast-forward to 1977. Punk is in full rage. I am listening to Television, Talking Heads, Pere Ubu - and then, for some reason, I buy a secondhand copy of Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home. I can't remember what possessed me to do such a thing: I had never bought a Dylan album before. But for the next week it was never off the turntable - until I got my next dole cheque, and went out and bought his follow-up LP, Highway 61 Revisited. Two weeks later it was Blonde on Blonde.
I had never actually listened to a whole Dylan album on my own at home before. It was almost impossible to admit it to myself - let alone anyone else - but these three LPs became, in my head, the greatest albums ever made. There didn't seem any point in buying anything else by Dylan: nothing he had done before or since would compare to these three records. In Liverpool, where I was then living, the Velvet Underground were the epitome of retro cool. But, to my ears, Lou Reed sounded like a Dylan wannabe. Bob Dylan without the rage, the lust, the sardonic wit, the broken heart, the voice that could slice a generation in half.
Fast-forward again, to 1983. I am in the offices of a major music management company on the west coast of the US. As manager of the band Echo and the Bunnymen, I am meeting with one of the junior partners in the company, which wants to represent the Bunnymen in North America. The young gun drops into the conversation that they have just started to represent Dylan. Without stopping to think, I let rip, letting him know all that was wrong with Dylan and how I could put it right.
"You can represent the Bunnymen for North America in exchange for letting me manage Bob Dylan for Europe," I say. "The only people who are into Dylan are greying leftovers from the 1960s who are buying into nostalgia for their lost youth. Any time he comes over to Britain, it is to play some massive open-air concert where those greying leftovers are expected to buy overpriced tickets for a shambles of a show. No attempt is made to do anything interesting with his career. He was once the coolest man on the planet - now he dresses like some ageing queen with silly hats and eyeliner."
"Nobody tells Bob what he should or should not be doing," says the young gun. "I don't think you know what sort of person Bob Dylan is. We took him to a restaurant for lunch to discuss plans. The smartest restaurant in town. You have to book your table there weeks in advance. We arrived at the restaurant and because the maître d' did not instantly recognise him, he refused to eat there. He expects the world to fall into line with whatever he wants."
"Then I guess we do not have a deal," I say.
But in 2000, I still suffered from a persistent belief that those three Dylan albums were not only the greatest albums ever made, but in 200 years' time they would be considered the high-water mark of rock'n'roll as an art form. There is nothing worse than a middle-aged man thinking the music of his youth is somehow vastly superior to what is being made and played today. I did the only honourable thing: I took the albums to Oxfam.
A few weeks later, I was at a motorway service station when my gaze passed over the rack of cassettes and CDs. As I walked back to the car, I noticed that I had in my hand a cassette of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits. In the car I ripped the cassette open, binned all the packaging and obliterated the label credits using a felt-tip pen, so nobody would be able to tell it was Dylan. Over the next few months, when driving alone, I would reach down and pull this anonymous cassette from its hiding place under the seat, shove it into the player and blast it out at full volume.
Then, in June 2000, this backsliding was brought under control. While listening to It's All Over Now Baby Blue, I yanked the cassette from the player and flung it out through the open window of the car as I sped south down the A9, along the banks of the river Spey. Since that date I have never knowingly listened to Bob Dylan. And I hope I never will again ·

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Meetings with Saudi officials in Riyadh weren't aimed at acquiring additional oil supplies for the Japanese market, Tokyo's trade minister said.
Japanese Trade Minister Toshimitsu Motegi brushed off reports from Nikkei news service that stated he met with Saudi Deputy Oil Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman to secure more oil for his economy.
"At the moment there is no concern whatsoever that Japan is undersupplied in terms of oil," he was quoted by Bloomberg News as saying from Abu Dhabi.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, in its January report, said it expected the Japanese economy to grow modestly because of fiscal and monetary stimulus efforts.
Oil consumption, however, is expected to remain steady for 2013 after the country took on more crude oil last year to offset nuclear shortfalls following the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
Riyadh last year said there enough crude oil available for Tokyo to ensure adequate supplies.
Both ministers said they viewed the oil market as stable and well-supplied. Japan's economy for 2013 is expected to grow 0.7 percent after experiencing a 2 percent growth rate last year.
OPEC's next monthly report is due Tuesday.

St. Cloud State University
Strategic Planning Committee
September 13, 2001, 7:45 a.m. Mississippi
Members Present: Bonnie Hedin, Jeanne Hites, Pat Krueger, Mary Soroko, Addie Turkowski, and Jay Vora
Members Absent: John Burgeson, Glen Palm, John Palmer, Karen Thoms, Fred Walker, and Brenda Wentworth
Support Staff: Subimal Chopra and Lucie Schwartzkopf
Guests: Lisa Foss, Director of Marketing and Communications, and Steve Ludwig, Vice President for Administrative Affairs
1. Steve Ludwig shared that 7 points were compiled during two one-day retreats this summer. The president, vice presidents, deans, excluded managers, and other directors were in attendance. The mission and vision and aspirations of St. Cloud State University were discussed in the larger context. Small groups discussed how to implement these at the college level. Two of the small groups without direct college responsibilities talked about the meaning of the vision and mission. Steve agreed to forward the 7 points to the committee, and welcomed future attendance at SPC meetings.
Steve shared that the theory is to try to link the strategic plan with the university budget. Jeanne shared that Gene Gilchrist had a proposal on how to link the budget, and it was sent back to the drawing board. While the academic plan is to a certain extent a keystone around which everything should be aligned it was received the week before school started, so review for alignment has been delayed.
Steve also conveyed that the MnSCU Chancellor James H. McCormick seems to be assembling a plan that will be a directive for institutions to follow. (The plan may be viewed on the web.) While SCSU seems to be ahead of his progress at this point, he will probably have his plan solidified in the next few weeks/months. He will officially visit with individuals on campus on December 6, 2001. The Chancellor's strategy is to talk to individuals rather than take tours of buildings. Steve anticipates SCSU will attempt to show our direction has substantial congruence with his.
Steve relayed that the goal will be to work within the plan determined by MnSCU. Certain key areas such as duplication of programs, or market areas, could influence initiatives of SCSU. It is probable that the plan from MnSCU will not be a plan filled with platitudes. Jeanne hopes that that MnSCU is identifying some of the same issues to address that SCSU is.
2. Minutes from the May 3, 2001 meeting were approved.
3. President Saigo would like the strategic planning process to not extend beyond 3 years per planning cycle. Hand out with the guideline will be sent to the committee after the meeting today. Jeanne expressed she feels an infrastructure to accomplish this needs to be set.
4. Jeanne conveyed that the Chancellor seems to be leaning toward a Baldridge National Quality Program model rather than AQIP (the NCA quality program). She acknowledged the issues of qualitative verses quantitative results.
5. Mary Soroko shared she has heard that MnSCU would like SCSU to participate in the community more at the local level. She foresees that MnSCU will want SCSU to participate in economic development based on Governor Ventura's views. Jeanne added that this underscores what the University External Relations Committee has been working on.
Jeanne called for volunteers to attend informational meetings next week designed to inform the campus community of the Vision Task Force findings as well as glean additional insight. Mary Soroko, Jay Vora, Pat Krueger, and Addie Turkowski agreed to represent the committee at one of each of the meetings. Jeanne will be at most of the meetings along with Bassey Eyo who facilitated the Vision Task Force meetings.
Mary Soroko requested information that would offer the intent behind the wording of the values. Lisa has the 54 items on a word document she can send. Discussion took place reviewing the task force process. Jay suggested that some background is given of 4 sentences came together to made the sentence that was chosen. Lisa also made the point that a focus will be kept on how to prevent the results from sitting on a piece of paper.
Jeanne conveyed that the goals are derived from what the committee did last year and what the president described. She requested that the committee make sure she didn't miss anything. The quality plan was not on the list. Jeanne proposed that perhaps the committee should address that, since the chancellor apparently plans to address it.
6. Jeanne stated that communication was identified last year as an issue to be addressed. She would like to form a new sub-committee to address this issue. Jeanne is willing to work on it, and Lisa Foss expressed willingness to assist. Pat Krueger also volunteered. The volunteers agreed to meet after the meeting to schedule a time to work on this issue.

He makes us warmup with the opponent....not that the opponent cared or anything but I've been playing these tournaments years and never heard of this rule. I like warming up with my regular partner, we have our routine down and we're consistent enough to actually get warmed up. I can't stand trying to warmup with someone who has trouble keeping the ball coming back to you. I can't find anything in the books, so maybe you guys know. So...was the ref full of it? Thanks!

How can an airline passenger wind up gagged and bound to his seat with industrial tape?
Imagine if you will, you're waiting for your flight to NYC from Iceland, maybe you can't wait to get to see the Big Apple, maybe you're a little nervous about flying and that whole US customs thing, maybe you think it's all going to be on big party in the sky, but for whatever reason, you stop by the local duty free shop in the airport and manage to consume an entire bottle of liquor (and not the little samples sizes either), then once you board, you forget that you're actually on a flight and think instead that you're at a wild party where all the female passengers must be giving you the eye, so you hit on them, and spit on other guys who are clearly competition and preventing you your rightful membership to the mile high club….
That could be the only justification for such behavior, right? (That is if you can actually justify that behavior). That's what a 46 year old Icelandic man did yesterday on a flight to JFK International Airport. Oh, but his story doesn't stop there… Oh no. It gets much worse….
After hitting on all the lovely ladies, this guy must have a realization that he was in the air, and really started to freak out. He was grabbing other passengers and screaming "we're going to crash!" (Well, maybe he was, but the plane was safe). He became so out of control that it took a crowd of passengers to restrain him, and for good measure to keep him in place, they taped him to his seat…. That is going to be one ugly hangover.
The moral of the story is folks, never down an entire bottle of duty free liquor and fly if you are prone to drunken freak-show outbursts…

What are countries doing to reduce the imbalance in the distribution of health workers?
Countries are using several methods to regulate the imbalance in health worker distribution. Evidence from the 36 countries profiled in the progress report shows that countries are offering:
- financial incentives (Afghanistan, England, France, Hungary, India, Mozambique, Nepal, Thailand, Senegal and South Africa),
- continuing professional and career development opportunities (Australia, England, Hungary and Nepal),
- prolonged residencies, with mandatory periods of training in rural areas (Ghana, Mexico, Philippines, South Africa),
- other non-financial incentives – i.e. free housing, better diagnostic facilities, security, free access to health care (Mozambique, Nepal and Philippines).

Hi All,
I am interested in setting up a portable version of MDT 2012 (so I can manage it on my own).
Background: I have never used MDT before, so I would also be interested in learning more about how it works. Any step by step guides available that show you how to implement from start to finish?
I am presently using a third party utility to capture my images, but I have 20 images for 20 different models, across various remote locations. This is nuts.
I am looking to streamline my images, to maybe have 6 images, one for laptops and one for desktops, across three locations that I service.
Any suggestions on where to start would be great. I presently have MDT 2012 installed on a W7 Pro x64 laptop, with VirtualBox (I hope to use this capture my reference image.)
By all means, if there is an easier way to facilitate my desired end result, please tell me as well.
Thanks for your time.

Yes. See the quick start guides in the "Optional - MDT 2012 Print-Ready Documentation.zip" on the MDT 2012 Download page. They walk you click by click through a sample deployment. It'll just give you a basic start to build on, but it's a good place to start. You'll need to install AIK as well. You will also need WDS if you want to multicast, but I would leave that for a later step.
Sysprep and MDT's driver stores will make hardware independent imaging possible.
I just came from a site that managed 20+ images across 10+ models of computers and we got it down to three with MDT.
Now I'm at a site with 40+ images and 40+ models of computers. Hoping to pare both of those numbers down greatly.
I setup my MDT server following the guide in this book linked below. It's says it's for MDT 2010, but there's not much change in 2012.
http://www.amazon.com/Deployment-Fundam ... 1451570031
@dp2 - Thank you for the suggestion. I will order this book.
@markwo - Thank you for the link to the documentation. With respect to WDS, can this be run from a laptop as well? I am hoping to use these utilities on a W7 Pro x64 laptop, as I can not load Windows Server 2008 on it.. On this note, I understand that I may be limited to 20 concurrent connections, although I am wondering if there is a work around on this restriction, but I will cross that bridge when I get there.

Do you really even need 6 images? Considering the customizability of MDT, here are acceptable reasons for creating multiple images (in my estimation).
Everything else can be scripted. Check out CustomSettings.ini and how to use the Priority property to customize your deployments. Also I suggest using a SQL database to do your deployments to simplify using CustomSettings.ini. The goal is that you can reduce the number of images and also necessary MDT task sequences which take maintenance too. MDT is not only for building images, it's also for deploying them too. It may be slower to deploy a highly customized image, which is the only major drawback I see in reducing your images.
The main idea is that you make a base image that takes all the common elements of all your images. Then you create applications in MDT to deploy the software and customizations (e.g. writing your own scripts) that you don't include in your base image. You then set up rules in CustomSettings.ini to drill down different hardware types or other properties (e.g. Laptop vs Desktop) to install the necessary applications. Then you can target even individual machines on a large scale using the MDT database.
Another goal, other than reducing the number of images, is to eliminate having to constantly update your image so often. There are tutorials out there on how to do offline windows updates using DISM and WSUS (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh825626.aspx). I don't do this personally, because honestly I'm lazy and don't update my images often enough. I don't deploy enough that it warrants this. But if you have a requirement in your Org to do this then it can save time. So if all your software is installed by MDT after the image is deployed.. and you don't really have any software installed all you need to do is do offline windows updates and update the scripted application installs in MDT. This can save lots of time if they want you to update frequently since you don't have to do deploy and capture. You may still want to do a functional test deploy anyway, however.
A downside of this, from a change management perspective, is that it's harder to test the image properly since there is more going on (sometimes application installs can fail for no reason -- it happens occasionally even though 100 other ones go fine). So if your org is heavy on change management then you have to weigh multiple images vs. a single scripted image.
Yet another positive of MDT is reducing image bloat. Some organization have seen the light and have tried to reduce their number of images. But instead of doing it the right way, they mash everything into one image that ends up being 8GB+ and has a lot of stuff that users don't want or need. This is the wrong way to do things. You can use MDT to install only the things that need to be installed, specifically for the category of user that will be using the computer.

Run 2008R2 in a VM.
Also keep in mind there are other restrictions if you don't use a Server OS. E.g. you can't do WDS PXE boot either. This is a VERY important feature.
Sounds like not having a Server OS may be a deal breaker. Thanks all. Not possible to run it in a VM.
I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker.
I could not use WDS in my previous environment, but that didn't stop me from setting up MDT and using it with a boot CD. Then if the "people above" like it, you can always tie it into WDS later.
WDS is just one possible transport mechanism. MDT is where the imaging process is configured.
Of course, to make things more confusing, WDS can be used without MDT to deploy operating systems, but that's a different story.
WDS just aids the ease of deploying images once you've created them. You've still got a TON of room to make improvements by consolidating your images and moving to a sysprepped MDT model.
Im just going to add in that 99% of your problems with MDT will be driver related.
You can install directly from a USB key as well - (so useful for very remote locations). I test every PC model with a network and USB install.
And make sure that "c:\drivers" is never left on your reference image.

Deathfire - Update #6. New Backer Rewards
G3 Studios posted the next update for Deathfire: Ruins of Nethermore with infomation on new backer rewards, and a new Q&A with Guido Henkel.
As for the project itself people have pledged $65,063 of it's $390,000 goal. Still quite a way to go but there's still time. So keep spreading the word everyone.
New Backer Rewards!
As we try to add new backers to the campaign, we have also been spending time, trying to maximize, what we can offer existing backers to thank you for your generous support. For that matter, I am very happy to announce that we have some new rewards for you that will go straight into existing reward tiers. This means, everyone who has pledged n those tiers or higher, will automatically receive these new items. What are they?
Please meet my friend Colin McComb.
As many of you may know, Colin was one of the designers on "Planescape: Torment" and more recently, Colin is also the designer on the upcoming role-playing game "Torment: Tides of Numenera" from inXile, which has been kickstarted a while ago.
What many of you may not know, however, is that Colin is also a very talented novelist. He has released a fantasy novel called "Oathbreaker" last year, which has found plenty of critical acclaim. It was the first in a series of books, and currently, he is putting the final touches to the second book in the series.
Today I am happy to announce that we are adding both "Oathbreaker: Book 1: The Knight's Tale" and "Oathbreaker: Book 2: The Magus's Tale" to existing reward tiers.
Here is a small part of the Q&A.
Which aspect of "Deathfire: Ruins of Nethermore" do you find the most attractive one?
For me it is a throwback to the Golden Days of role-playing and everything reminds me so much of the time when we built the first "Realms of Arkania" game. The idea to make a really deep, involving role-playing game that has a rich story and plenty of variety for the player is what really appeals to me and makes me completely giddy. Nerdy things like our Psycho Engine get me completely psyched.
What do you like more, designing a game or programming it?
This is a tough question. I love both. I love to write and come up with new stuff. After all, I've also written a number of pulp novels in recent years. But at the same time I feel that it often drains me very much, and that's when programming becomes the perfect infusion to counterbalance that.
In my heart, I am a programmer, though. Always have been. It fascinates me how you can put together complex components with small code building blocks, and to get the computer to behave exactly the way you want it to. I enjoy the analytical thinking that has to go into it.
Can you tell us very briefly which games you have worked on in the past?
I started making computer games in 1983 and have since worked on a large array of games. The most recognizable are probably the original "Realms of Arkania" trilogy, as well as "Planescape: Torment," which I produced for Interplay. I've also been involved in games such as "Fallout 2," "Neverwinter Nights" and many others. So as you can see, my primary field of expertise is in role playing games.

Classically trained and jazzically inclined, Teresa Carroll knows her way around a song -- almost any song -- because she's lived a few lyrics herself. A graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School, she studied opera in New York in the 1970s and early '80s, but she was always drawn to the Holy Trinity -- Billie, Sarah and Ella -- as well as Nancy Wilson and other jazz icons. You can hear the scatting, octave-leaping, brooding echoes of these immortals in Carroll's vivid mezzo-soprano voice, but her style's all her own now, and that's the essential thing. Every fourth Sunday, she sings at Shakespeare's; every other Tuesday, she's at the Manhattan Grill in Cherry Creek; and periodic gigs take her to the Sambuca Jazz Café, Enoteca, and Trios in Boulder. When she gets inside a ballad like "Love for Sale," she can break your heart.

Antonio Conte says David Luiz will start Liverpool clash and issues update on Chelsea duo
The Blues re-signed the Brazilian defender on transfer deadline day for £30m, two years after selling him to Paris St-Germain for £50m.
With John Terry out injured, Conte will hand Luiz a start at Stamford Bridge for the visit of Jurgen Klopp's Reds.
Conte said: "When new players arrive it is normal that they need the time to adapt to a new concept and idea of football.
"But tomorrow we needed to play David Luiz – he worked a lot in these days in defensive situations with the ball.

Kansas Tornado Attracts Heavy Equipment, Compassion
Just days after a tornado with winds up to 205 mph ripped through a small farming town in central United States, Christian groups are on ground lugging in heavy equipment together with human compassion to help victims.
As many witnesses have exclaimed, the town of Greensburg, Kan., home to 1,500 people, is nearly completely demolished with the Red Cross reporting that 90 percent of Greensburg has been destroyed or heavily damaged.
"The town is completely flattened," said Bill Adams, disaster response director of Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC), in a statement "so it's unlikely we'll be sending our Rapid Response Teams, which often can provide survivors with clean up and short-term repair assistance.
"Sadly, in Greensburg, there doesn't appear to be much left to repair," Adams commented.
Samaritan's Purse, which was on the ground within 24 hours following the disaster, has dispatched one of their Disaster Relief Units carrying heavy equipment tools and other needed supplies to help survivors. The group also reported that it is mobilizing volunteers to assist in clearing debris from roads, cleaning residential areas, and salvaging homeowner possessions.
However, disaster response volunteers are not currently allowed into Greensburg while the emergency phase of the disaster continues, according to Heather Feltman, executive director of Lutheran Disaster Response. She said the town is closed except to its 1,500 residents and search and rescue teams.
"Lutheran Disaster Response is prepared to offer assistance, as needed, in the form of emergency hardship grants and spiritual and emotional care," said Feltman, whose organization is a collaborative ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS).
Roger Kruger, Lutheran Disaster Response coordinator, however, was given permission to enter the affected region on Monday to perform initial assessments and to connect with disaster partners in the area.
Furthermore, local Lutheran clergies and representatives from the LCMS Kansas District and ELCA Central States Synod will gather at a church in Pratt, Kan., to discuss the immediate and long-term needs of affected communities.
Lutheran Disaster Response plans to coordinate volunteer teams for debris removal and clean-up to begin this weekend.
"When a tragedy like this occurs, compassionate Christians should be on the frontline of relief efforts," said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse, in response to the disaster. "Our team is on the ground to show God's love in action to the hurting people of Greensburg."

CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) has named a new CEO and is putting a bright light back on AppLogic, the company's cloud platform for services providers. True believers in the AppLogic strategy include CenturyLink's Savvis business, which ranks among the world's top 100 cloud services providers.
Effective Oct. 1, 2012, CA Technologies re-organized the AppLogic assets back under one roof -- empowering Senior VP Adam Famularo (pictured) and his team to manage everything from sales to marketing, R&D and customer support. Among Famularo's key priorities:
- Making sure cloud services providers (CSPs) can leverage AppLogic as a way to speed time to value for customers, Famularo told me yesterday over lunch.
- Instead of pitching AppLogic on its own, watch for CA Technologies to evangelize applications running atop AppLogic, similar to how Microsoft evangelizes third-party applications running atop Windows Server. Show successful cloud applications, and CSPs will start asking about the underlying infrastructure and virtualization platform, Famularo believes.
Somewhere within all this, I suspect the AppLogic User Group -- managed by Cirrhus9 on Twitter -- could also help to raise AppLogic's profile.
I also suspect the new AppLogic organizational approach is a welcome change both within CA Technologies and for cloud services providers. CA acquired 3Tera and its AppLogic business in February 2010 and showed some mumentum in 2011. But some of the AppLogic buzz went silent in recent months; it felt to me as if AppLogic got lost within the larger CA organization.
But under Famularo and a more focused organizational approach, CA is once again working to raise AppLogic's profile. Among the recent milestones: That major partnership with CenturyLink's Savvis business.
Just a hunch but I think you'll hear more about AppLogic and Savvis synergies in the weeks or months ahead.

Sitting in the hospital yesterday he was struggling with just about everything, but he still insisted on finding the song on youtube and playing it three or four times for my family, doctors and nurses. Thank you for giving him hope during his final days. My dad fought a great battle and he never gave up, even in the bitter end. He will always be an inspiration to me and every other person that is diagnosed with AML.

Q&A: Trends in the medical embedded market
Post a comment
Q: What does all this mean for Kontron?
Unrath: We have a wide variety of global medical Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to the medical health sector as our customers. As we focus on serving medical OEMs, we see a major trend towards even more application-ready system implementations. We have by far more demand in the area of individual system design and manufacturing. Custom specific look & feel is here one key requirement as well as hardware integration services such as driver support and OS integration.
We also see growing demand for the new ARM designs in customized designs with mobile and low power qualities. For example, there is the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor on a Pico-ITX motherboard or Nvidia Tega 3 on a mini-ITX motherboard and ULP-COM Module.

In response to requests from Plumbing Manufacturers Intl. (PMI) and its members, as well as from other supporters of the U.S....
This article summarizes the criteria for selecting pumps for specific wastewater applications
Submersible Pumps in the Dry Well
A "standard" submersible pump cannot operate in a dry well because it must be submerged in order to cool the motor.
The construction costs associated with this alternative are shown in Table 6 and compared with the construction costs for the conventional wet well/dry well design previously described.
Estimated Life Cycle Costs: There does not appear to be any increase in annual O&M costs associated with equipment maintenance with this design compared to those for a conventional dry pit pump design. The motors are less efficient than conventional motors, as was described above. Table 7 summarizes the resulting life cycle costs of pumping stations using submersible pumps in the dry well.
The design typically features a wet well in which the pump is hung, suspended from a supporting slab over the wet well. A separate building is provided to house the electrical and control systems. Most of the installations investigated did not have on-site cranes. Truck-mounted cranes are used to remove the pumps for maintenance and to reinstall them.
The construction costs for the type of pumping station are similar to those (although a little greater) for a submersible type of station. The vertical turbine-type solids handling type of pump generally is more expensive than either a conventional dry well or submersible pump.
Capacities: The minimum capacity of this type of pump is about 1,500-gpm with total dynamic head (TDH) in the range of 15 to 30 feet per stage. Thus, there is only a limited use for such pumps in small pump station applications.
The maximum capacity of this type of pump is about 65,000-gpm with TDH in the range of 80 to 90 feet. Such a TDH is attainable with pumps typically having a capacity of 2,500-gpm or more. Thus, vertical turbine-type solids handling pumps are better suited for large pumping station applications.
Operation and Maintenance Aspects: All the O&M personnel contacted spoke very favorably of the ease of maintenance and low O&M costs of this type of pump. Generally speaking, the level of effort required for maintenance is about the same as that for conventional dry pit pumps except that a crane is necessary to remove the pump in order to work on the impellers, tail bearings and shaft supports. The following specific comments were made.
The agencies all used truck cranes to remove the pumps for maintenance, and this does take slightly more effort than is the case for handling conventional dry well pumps because the pump columns are long. This characteristic increases the time it takes to remove or reinstall the pumps, but the magnitude of this additional time is not thought to be significant.
The pump and motor efficiencies are the same as for conventional dry well pumps.
Estimated Life Cycle Costs: There does not appear to be any significant increase in annual O&M costs with this design compared to those for a conventional dry pit pump design.
A majority of the O&M supervisors in the agencies investigated in the United States prefer the "submersible pumps in a dry well" design for the following reasons.
Unlike the case of pumps in a wet well, it is anticipated that there is no increased O&M costs (other than higher power costs due to the less efficient motors) of using submersible pumps in a dry well compared to using conventional pumps in a dry well.
In the opinion of the O&M staffs at most of the agencies contacted, the degree of effort required to maintain various types of sewage pumping stations (from easiest to most difficult) is as follows:
A careful and realistic life cycle cost analysis should be performed before deciding to use submersible pumps, especially if the contemplated pumping station is fairly large (greater than 10- to 15-mgd capacity).
In light of the concepts presented, it is suggested that the following criteria be used in selecting the type of pump and associated pumping station design for wastewater systems.
These criteria are discussed in more detail in Table 10 for three hypothetical owners or sanitation agencies. In addition, Chapter 25 in Reference [1] presents a thorough comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the various typical wastewater pumping stations.
Recommendations to use various types of pumping stations under various design conditions are summarized in Table 11. Actual selection should be done on a project-specific basis and considering the owner's preferences and experiences, but the following recommendations are offered. These recommendations are based on a combination of life-cycle costs in conjunction with the other criteria given in Table 10. It should be emphasized that all these factors need to be considered in selecting the type of wastewater pump for a given project. Where alternatives are shown in Table 11, they are listed in order of best life-cycle costs.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX coming to North America
Disney Interactive has confirmed Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX will be coming to the North America in fall of this year. The collection was first announced as a Japanese-exclusive, but it was widely expected to come stateside. For those unfamiliar, Kingdom Hearts takes characters and environments from popular Disney franchises, like Aladdin and Pinocchio, and combines them with a story that involves the character of Sora searching for his lost friends.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX is a compilation of HD versions of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. I'm especially excited for Chain of Memories as it was first released as a Game Boy Advance title and then brought over to the PlayStation 2. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to check it out; but, now with it coming to the PS3 I'll experience it in full HD graphics -- with trophy support. In addition to these two playable titles, the 1.5 ReMIX will also include HD cinematic story videos from Kingdom Hearts 358/2, a game only released on the Nintendo 3DS.
Any Kingdom Hearts fan should appreciate this compilation. Unless you manage to own all of those above consoles, it's likely you haven't experienced the full story yet. Hopefully, that will all change come this fall.

World: South Asia
Second missile found in Pakistan
Tomahawk missiles overflew Pakistan
It was found some 300km from the site where parts of another cruise missile were discovered a week ago. Neither had exploded. The warhead of the first missile to be discovered has already been destroyed.
The Pakistani army is also reported to have destroyed the second missile.
Both missiles are believed to have gone astray during America's attack on bases belonging to the exiled Saudi Arabian dissident, Osama bin Laden, in Afghanistan nine days ago.
False information
That statement was later retracted, and two senior officials were fired for having given the government in Islamabad false information.
But it now appears that at least two cruise missiles did land in Pakistan, although neither exploded.
Military survey
The missiles were fired at the bases from American warships in the Arabian Sea.
The discovery of a second missile on Pakistani soil is likely to make it more difficult for the government to resist pressure from Pakistani religious activists to condemn the US attacks more strongly.
The government urgently needs IMF loans and is reluctant to alienate Washington.
On Friday the prime minister introduced a package of Islamic measures, which the opposition claims is an attempt to appease his critics in the religious based parties.

About twenty-four hours from Samsung's "Unpacked" event Thursday, where they'll debut their updated Galaxy S IV flagship, Bloomberg news did a little reporting on the high-tech smartphone, legitimizing certain rumors and laying others to rest.
Firstly according to Bloomberg's sources, the Galaxy S IV will feature a 5-inch display. This makes yesterday's video leak seem somewhat more valid — definitely something to think about.
In the U.S., the S IV'll pack a Qualcomm processor and in other countries, the company's new powerhouse, Exynos 5 Octa.
Regarding the micro-processor — as an American, I feel rather gipped! With such hype built around the ARM/Samsung collaboration since it's unveiling at CES in January, I can foresee it's absence in the states stunting overall S IV sales, to some degree. You can't build people up just to let 'em down, Samsung.
Also, Bloomberg reports that although the eye-tracking rumor that has been circulating is likely to be somewhat true, we jumped ahead of ourselves somewhat. The futuristic technology that would allow the Galaxy S IV to scroll through pages based on the user's eye movements may appear in Samsung handsets down the road.
But inside the S IV, we can expect less-advanced eye-scrolling. To use Bloomberg's examples, the phone may feature the ability to pause video playback when sensing the user's eyes drift off screen or using Samsung's Smart Stay function, the S IV screen will remain brightly lit as long as it senses the viewer's eyes focused on it.
So, my fellow mobile analysts, rumor-circulators and smart device observers — if Bloomberg's report is correct, we haven't been too far off in our speculations building up to tomorrow. Then again, we'll really see how on-point we've been in New York on Thursday.

Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My wife and I are residents of NJ. A few days ago I got a complaint for divorce from my wife's lawyers. The reason for the divorce was irreconcilable differences. We don't have any kids, or property. It's stipulated in the complaint. It says that she demands judgment to dissolve the marriage and nothing else. I agree to dissolve the marriage, and accept the divorce, but if I do not answer the complaint, and it will go to default, is there a chance that I will be asked to pay for her lawyer and any other expenses?
2 Answers from Attorneys
This should cost you next to nothing to hire your own lawyer, so why not do that and listen to his/her advice? 732/773/2768
You should call her lawyer and discuss with him/her your concerns. It is likely that he/she will be drafting documents that will be simple and will meet your concerns. After you review those documents, if you still have concerns, you can contact a lawyer at that point. All of this should be done quickly, however.
Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You will only be able to rely on advice from an attorney who you have actually retained. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

A recently discovered Samsung patent may shed some light on a new device. This isn't believed to be a new smartphone or wrist wearable, though. The patent in question is thought to be the keyboard for an unannounced head wearable, much like Google Glass.
The patent aims to redefine the keyboard, instead asking that we use our hands as the keyboard rather than on one. By assigning each part of your hand a different letter to touch, thumb typing just got weird. The goal seems to be for us to use our thumbs to touch parts of the other four fingers, which should be a ton of fun if you've had a few too many.
Alternately, a one-handed method takes us back to the days before QWERTY keyboards on our mobile devices, instead pounding out morse code on one hand, which is laid out like the letters on a standard numerical keypad. The patent also shows that Samsung aims to have our hands-as-keyboards be touch sensitive, rather than simply hover a finger over the correct section. We'l have to actually press our fingers like they're buttons. Weird.
What can be said about this? It's unique, there's no doubt about that, but also rife with issues. The less dextrous will have an issue here, and they layout is actually really foreign. Go ahead, give it a shot and see how long it takes you to type out a message on your fingers instead of with them. It's not easy.
The wearable in question, a "Galaxy Glass" type device, is said to be announced later this year. We won't get excited just yet, as we've not even seen a working leak of the headset. If this is the keyboard Samsung expects us to use, though — we'll pass.

Does he really need that amount of pens?
Diggers doesn't get his hands dirty with such menial tasks. He has slaves like Scott Dawson to sign them all for him
What type of wood is that desk ??
Obviously Scott is behind this, John would never be so slapdash as to use different pens, as this dramatically effects the residual value at auction years down the line.
I request that my copy is signed with the Sharpie. Such a superior brand of pen.
Does having a signed Digweed cd in your collection give your credentials more gravitas?
I do not own one physical John Digweed cd, my prog cred is never disputed.
How many non-physical ones have you got?
All the good ones, natch.
either im getting old or im just not digging this release. the only good track here is LGs 'acid eiffel'. the rest is all warmup! nothing like his easter Bedrock set any way which was just pure bosh!
you heard it then?
Vinyl delivery delayed but from what I've heard so far... It will be worth the wait
From the CD1 and 2 preview mixes up on Soundcloud this is sounding like the best in the 'Live In...' series so far for me.
CD2: For me having heard the three mini mixes, all sounding good but can't get a proper feeling for it until purchased. I fucking love that booka Shade remix, sounded massive when on the floor. The Ferreck Dawn track after is a stomper too.

Nice to see he's playing Joy Wellboy - Before The Sunrise - Dixon Remix....
His sets Never disappoint,always some gems in there.
Now playing. Hold tight for a review in three hours.
Amazing, reminds me of just how good my Miami week was this year. BOSH!

JaJuan Lawson has not landed any new offers but the 2014 quarterback from Petaluma (Calif.) Casa Grande has been encouraged by some new developments.
Oregon, Arizona and Nevada continue to stay involved in his recruitment and since he's already taken unofficial visits to all three of those schools he hopes they stay involved as his recruitment continues.
Arizona, UNLV and Sacramento State have already offered and Lawson said he likes what he's hearing from those other coaching staffs.

"I've made unofficial visits to all those schools," Lawson said of Arizona, Oregon and Nevada.
"I know Arizona wants me. Oregon told me how they break down scholarships and they told me they offer late so I have to wait to see what happens with them. I feel like Nevada might come soon but I can't have any contact with them right now."
Lawson, who threw for 1,840 yards and 17 touchdowns in his junior season, has also talked with Boise State in recent weeks and has been encouraged by those discussions.
The 2014 quarterback has chatted off and on with Boise State for months and he's hoping a visit there could land him another offer later down the road.
"I met with Boise State about a week or two ago and they're showing a lot of interest," Lawson said. "Other than that it's been pretty quiet since everyone is finishing up the 2013 class.
"Boise wants me down for their junior day and their camp if they can get me down there. That's definitely a possibility. I've been talking to their offensive coordinator now for probably six months so we've formed a pretty good relationship."

"Private collection, London, U.K. Private collection, USA; acquired in London, 1999."
Christie's failed to included in either the catalogue or as a saleroom notice during viewing, that the two heads passed through the hands of antiquities dealer Robin Symes.
We know that the two terracotta protomes passed through Symes' hands, because they are shown in this photo from his Schinoussa Archive found at his home on the eponymous Greek island by the authorities. The heads are mould-made, so initially I thought the Christie's heads were more heads from the same Southern Italian sanctuary, as they look a little different from those in the Schinoussa photo. But a quick look at their backs, seen in the photos I took below, confirmed that the heads Christie's were selling are the same heads as those that passed through Symes' hands ....
I wouldn't want to defend Christie's - whose experts rate very low on any scale of competence, in my opinion - but should they have withdrawn the lots once they knew they had passed through Symes' hands? I don't necessarily think so. Robin Symes was an incredibly dodgy dealer, and many looted pieces passed through his hands, but he also sold pieces that were not looted. And just because a photo is included in his archive does not mean that it was automatically dodgy as a two bob bit.
I do however feel that Christie's should have disclosed the Symes provenance, which became common knowledge before the auction, as one of the saleroom notices; it is common practice to include additional information that comes to light on a card next to the lot during viewing, and as a verbal saleroom notice during the auction. Christie's did neither.
Does it matter that they failed to do so? This time it did not, as the two heads failed to sell, being bought in at £ 32,000 after a bid on the books and a bid in the room failed to hit the reserve (the estimate was £ 40,000 to 60,0000). The dealers I chatted to didn't need to see the photos from the Schinoussa archive to feel uncomfortable with the heads. They are beautifully painted, early protomes but they are also mould-made, so if a dig in Southern Italy or Sicily, their probable provenance, turns up more heads from the same mould ... then the buyer will be forced to return them to Italy.
The market spoke - dealers didn't "buy" the provenance of the heads, so nobody chose to buy them.

Toto Wolff denies Nico Rosberg crashed on purpose but admits 'he was proving point'
Mercedes to review philosophy of allowing drivers to race each other
By Pete Gill and Mike Wise at Spa
Last Updated: 25/08/14 9:55am
Toto Wolff has denied that Nico Rosberg confessed to deliberately crashing in the Belgian GP but reputedly confirmed that the German admitted he didn't attempt to avoid hitting Lewis Hamilton.
Rosberg turned in on Hamilton at the start of Sunday's race, causing a puncture that ultimately resulted in his World Championship rival retiring from the grand prix and the German extending his title advantage to 29 points.
According to Hamilton, Rosberg "basically said he did it on purpose" in a post-race summit held by the Mercedes team.
While Wolff has denied that Rosberg admitted crashing deliberately, SSN reports that the Mercedes boss has confirmed Rosberg acknowledged "he could have avoided crashing but didn't [in order to] make a point."
The Spa stewards declined to investigate the collision during the race and it remains to be seen whether Rosberg's reputed confession will trigger a retrospective investigation.
A Mercedes spokesperson confirmed that Hamilton's explosive account of the meeting was 'broadly accurate'.
The crash occured on the second lap of the race. Slow-motion footage of the crash indicated that Rosberg suddenly turned into Hamilton as the Englishman took the racing line through the chicane at the end of the Kemmel Straight.
Wolff's anger was starkly apparent immediately after the race as he branded the clash "unacceptable".
Speaking to reporters later, Wolff disclosed that the collision could result in Mercedes reviewing their strategy of letting their two drivers race each other.
"We haven't decided that yet, I am extremely upset because we have defined rules and we have broken those rules. I feel let down and I feel the team has been let down," he said.
"We are all fans and we owe it to everyone out there to let them race but today that philosophy has ended with Mercedes losing many valuable points and we don't want to end up in Abu Dhabi with a season [where] we lost a title because we are race fans.
"It is one thing enjoying great races and letting race each other but another looking like a fool at the end of the season if you haven't won anything."
Hamilton, meanwhile, suggested that despite Mercedes' management anger with Rosberg the German would escape significant sanction from the team.
"It reminds me of being at school … teachers will talk but they don't do nothing," he was quoted as saying by the Guardian. "You just get a detention. They won't even do that. There's nothing you can do."
This week's Midweek Report will first be shown at 8.30pm on Wednesday on Sky Sports F1 with guests Alan Baldwin and Alex Brundle joining Anna Woolhouse in the studio to dissect the Spa fallout

Sita - Daughter Of The Earth (2011 GN)
English | CBR | 98 Pages | 80.1 MB
Written by Saraswati Nagpal. Art by Manikandan. In an ancient age, when gods and goddesses walked with mortals... Sita is the kind-hearted and intelligent princess of the kingdom of Videha. Married to Rama, prince of Ayodhya, her journey in life takes her from exhilaration to anguish. Along the way, she must leave behind the luxury of royal comforts and live the simple, harsh life of a forest-dweller, where lurking in every shadow is danger. Ensnared in the evil plans of the wicked demon-king Ravana, Sita is abducted and hidden away in Lanka. Will Rama muster up a strong army to rescue Sita from the demon's clutches? Will Sita return to Ayodhya to become queen of the land, or is she destined to be mistrusted and live alone for the rest of her life? Adapted from the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, this is a touching tale of love, honor and sacrifice that reveals one woman's shining strength in an unforgiving world.

Sigh. I can't stomach seeing Jacob perform and I despise that vibrato thing he does when he sings. Ilk. He sounded much better towards the end. OH, was he wearing clear lip gloss?
Tonight is the first time I've ever enjoyed Jacob's singing. I applaud his choice to sing a song that he's comfortable with idealogically. Cool reveal that his back-up singer wrote the song!
Count your blessings!
I think I'm over Jacob, that was dreadful. Will this judges ever give an honest critique beyond "that was beautiful, that was hot" again?

From one extreme to the other. This is another tea I've tried before, although not for a couple of years now. Dry, it does indeed smell like Christmas. I can pick out cinnamon, ginger, orange, maybe a hint of clove. It's warming and spicy.
This one has a rooibos base, so I gave it about 4 minutes. I want to taste the spices, rather than have the rooibos overpower everything else. Brewed, this is a deep red-brown and smells strongly spicy. I suppose it's a little like mulled wine, only sadly without the alcohol. I'm actually tempted to add a bit of brandy, but I'll refrain for now. It also reminds me, interestingly enough, of the Lush shower gel I'm using at the moment — Glogg. I think it's because it's almost the same colour, and shares the same cinnamon scent. Thankfully, they don't have soap in common.
Anyway, this tea doesn't taste as "heavy" as I thought it was going to. The colour of the liquor is deceptive in that way. The rooibos really complements the spices — it's earthy and slightly muddy tasting under the cinnamon and clove, which seem to come out most strongly of all once infused.
This is certainly a pleasant, hearty tea for this time of year, and a little different too, in not having a black tea base. I don't usually go for gimmicky Christmas team because they're generally spice-based, and they're not flavours I particularly feel like drinking at any other time of year. This one is probably much the same in that respect, but I can be Christmassy when called upon. And when I am, this isn't a tea I'd mind drinking.

Taylor Lautner Defends Stewart: I've Never Cheated, But I'm 'Proud' of Kristen
Despite describing himself as an honest and loyal guy who has never cheated, Taylor Lautner is not making any judgments on his co-star Kristen Stewart.
Although Taylor Lautner plays the character of Jacob, who is embroiled in a three-way love affair in the "Twilight" saga, in real life he claims that he doesn't have much experience in that department. Instead, the actor paints himself as a loyal guy who still gets nervous around girls.
"Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success," the actor said during a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. "I like to think of myself as very loyal, and I love everyone I surround myself with, whether they're friends or girlfriends or whatever. I love loyal people."
Stating that he has no experience with cheating, Lautner didn't' want to weigh in on whether or not trust could be regained in cases like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after it was unveiled that Stewart had cheated.
"To be honest, I've never been involved in any of those situations, so I don't know [if trust can be regained]," he said. "It would be just a guess and a shot in the dark, and I don't want to give that if I haven't even been there myself."
But that doesn't mean that he's passing any judgments on Stewart, whom he said only nice things about.
"Kristen is fantastic at everything she does. I'm always proud of her," he added.
Lautner did, however, state that it seemed possible to rekindle a relationship. An ex of Taylor Swift, the actor added that he stays friends with all of his exes, which is a good thing for him, unless he was looking to be named on Billboard's top music charts.
"There's no ex out there who I'm not friends with today, and I'm extremely thankful for that," he told Cosmo, adding that he thinks its "quite easy to rekindle" a relationship.

Nearly 2,100 Lincoln Public Service Department water customers were at one time, without water in the past three weeks. As of Tuesday, Feb. 11, around 200 people still had no water.
"You go to the faucet and it's a 50/50 chance of this," said Mark Mitchell of Yawkee, WV.
He was without water throughout the day Saturday into Sunday. He also lost water Monday morning. Service was restored later that afternoon.
Over the weekend Mitchell used his well to produce water for himself and his family.
"It's usable water, but it's just for baths and dishes," said Mitchell.
As for the Lincoln PSD, it hoped to have a resolution by the end of Tuesday night.

UnNews:Iraq - US study shows Feng Shui a Success
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
11 July 2007
A recent study by scientists at the University of Guantanamo Bay has shown that Feng Shui actually makes people happier!
"This is an amazing day for us," said Michael Desalvo, one of the research scientists. "We really didn't expect our results to be this clear. I mean, of course we did! That's what we're paid for! Results! None of this "We don't know" nonsense. What do these people think science is about?"
The study, which took place in 200 homes in the United States and Iraq, focused on the positioning of various items of furniture in each home. In America, where furniture is well placed and in good repair, the people tended to be happier.
While there are many scientists who do not agree with the claims of the study, the researchers say that the results remain promising, and hope to get several big, whopping research grants within the year.

How Do You Eat Your Peeps? [POLL]
In case you're curious- the most popular way to eat Peeps on Easter is pretty much by eating the head first.
A new survey found 65% of people say they eat Peeps by biting the head off first. 13% eat the tail first, and 16% take small bites all over the body.
Unless you're like me and just don't like Peeps and then you don't eat them at all. Although….I've heard if you leave them out and let them get stale they actually taste pretty good.
And now for your viewing pleasure, a little song about Peeps:

My original intention was to ask Paul to be a cooperator but I'm going to find out if Permies.com can count as one too.
This is the beast so far: dug down 'bout 2 foot, had the use of a friends handheld auger. (Got decent, little bit sandy, dark dirt for bout 1-2' then orange clay.) Took rotten oak across bottom of pit, used a wee bit of old ancient rotted pine. Next layer on top of layer of old pecan - trees have been down 3 to 10 years. All done by hand, mostly by women!
Today, switching up to add a layer of hay I cut last week then piling on homemade dirt. (Manure, ashes, wood chip mulch & clay). Ya'll pipe in with whatever - we're open to ideas, thoughts, smacks to the forehead, bring it! And Paul, we understand your fees for services, may we list you, please sir as a resource for expert advice in our grant proposal?
Thanks ya'll!

Thanks for posting our link - Sweet!
I hope that you are making "globs and blobs" instead of a homogeneous innards for your hugelkultur.
The Call states "Successful projects must include project cooperators. They can be other farmers, researchers, extension agents, governmental or non-governmental organizations or others who cooperate in project planning, data collection and outreach of results." A detailed budget is to be included in the proposal for the two year grant and so at this point all I need is this here verbal handshake and an estimate of your fees for your collaboration in the project planning as an expert advisor. If you are willing, an estimate of what it would cost for you to attend one or more 'outreach field day events' (Tallahassee, Florida) would also be great. (Another internationally renowned ecological revolutionary I have reached out to is Michael Reynolds, the Garbage Warrior.)
As luck mixed with a little due dilligence would have it, I have found a second grant this project is suited for with some slight adjustments and modified application. Both projects should radically improve Best Management Practices in their respective bona fide agricultural fields ushering permaculture concepts into contemporary commercial farming operations... So, I guess what I'd really like is for you to help me change the world. (LULZ!)
A detailed explanation of the proposed project can be Emailed privately. Inquire for more or submit your estimate(s) to email@example.com, (bet I check my Email bout every 15 minutes today!)
Thank you for your time and consideration!!!
(The hugel photos posted are not of the project. It is what happened when there was a need for a median in the parking area of our future community garden and a little pile of sticks I didn't want to move. It will be at least 7' tall - space dictated the triangular shape but it may prove interesting to have a South wall and N.E. And N.W. walls as opposed to North only?)

My thoughts also turned back to my youth and granddaddy's answer when I asked, "What is organic?". Granddaddy was a kind and generous man, rarely did he ever spit venom but he did that day! A mouthful poured out... he even cussed!!! How many other conventional farmers share his disdain and mistrust? How can techniques be introduced in order to quell that prejudice? Is there a way to make the County Extension Officer's first response be "Hugelkultur, hugelkultur, Hugelkultur!" instead of "2-4-D, glycophisate is the answer." Because that standard answer polluted 15 acres of my land and God only knows how many others... Agent Orange? Fukin Really?
So then I learned of this grant (and what a proposal demands!) and here I am. Something's got to give and I have an idea that may be a hell of a shove - increase profits for Joe Farmer, get the garbage out of the sheeple's gullets and lob the Banksters off at their knees in one flail swoop... Will this grant be available next year? Most likely but so will the new herbicide - it's taken 5-10 years for the technology to cripple our babies' digestive tracks, this new shit should accomplish the job in 1-3 years.! Now is the time.
The grants won't be awarded until February. Help me get it and I promise I will read, watch, study, turn in notes on anything and everything you suggest. I NEVER do this but my number is 850/524-6435 and my perfume is 'Eau du C'mon J'um Pon'! Forgive typos - I'm on my cell)

I would think an even mix would work well for layering, the hummus and potash will give places for the clay to cling to.
If you have a cement mixer, you can really blend your ingredients well before laying them on.
Don't forget to add in any coffee grounds you might have/be able to get hold of, the are great to toss in as you are building any mound, good source of nitrogen and though they are acidic, the wood seems to take care of neutralizing that.
That pecan hummus will be great stuff any way you decide to use it.

Facebook, Google & Beyond: Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz & Ben Elowitz of Wetpaint Debate the Future of Information and Relationships
(Page 3 of 6)
the social network hasn't gone full-bore into search quite yet. Fishkin said the idea of an all-Facebook Web experience should be frightening for marketers or content owners.
BEN ELOWITZ: "It's a different cohort of people coming in, where they're saying 'The world is a social world, and the Facebook pages are just as good as the real pages.'"
RAND FISHKIN: "And this totally scares the crap out of me, right? I think that brands who create their online presence on Facebook and direct you to Facebook are crazy. Like, absolutely insane.
Facebook should be a great place to do marketing. Your Facebook page can provide all these great insights, like—you can install a Facebook Insights widget on your website, and you can get all this great demographic data about who's logged in. That's awesome.
But to say 'I'm going to give up control of my brand to Facebook, who can then do whatever they want with it, and I will not own that space'—that's like AOL in the '90s."
BE: "Well, they've already given up their control to Google and the SEO world."
RF: "No, no."
BE: "By saying, 'Hey, we're going to engineer our site to be more what Google wants than what our consumers want.'"
RF: "That's crazy. That's like saying 'We've given up our control to e-mail because e-mail marketing drives a bunch,' or 'We've given up our control to Twitter because Twitter drives traffic.'"
BE: "Whenever you have users on Facebook for four hours a month, it's the user that's in charge. You don't want to pull them out of it." [Average time spent on Facebook in April was even higher than that, according to Nielsen.]
RF: "But Facebook owns and controls those pages. Of course they don't. That's exactly the point. If I want to customize my website to have a better conversion rate, I can do whatever I want. I can control the experience. I own that page. If something happens, I can do whatever I want. On Facebook, it's all about their rules, their restrictions, their limitations. It can't be customized."
BE: "Tons of limitations. And yet, that's where the users are.
"When you build a store in the shopping mall, you have to abide by the mall's guidance about what your hours are, what your store design looks like, what your signage looks like, and you do it, because that's where the traffic is. And in the same way, if you're a brand, you're crazy if you don't have a really important Facebook presence."
RF: "And you should have a presence. But I think making Facebook your primary traffic portal strikes me as insane."

Player Limit Edit
Is the player limit on Zul'Farrak really only five people? --Hobinheim 13:37, 20 December 2006 (EST)
Yes, it is. Though the sub-regions aren't correct.--Frosti 06:34, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
"impossible"? Edit
If it is "impossible for players to realise" that ZF exists as part of Tanaris, how do we know? Should this be reworded or removed? Artaxiel 11:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- It just means there is an "uninstanced ZF" on the Kalimdor map, and was probably explored on a private server. Probably there is a way to go in on a live server as well, but since there is just nothing, it isn't really important--Hurax 21:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Rewrite of "Pyramid" content Edit
On this page, the Captain Bly event is referred to as taking place on a Pyramid. While this is true, it's actually Mesoamerican pyramid. When most people think of "pyramid", they usually think of Egyptian pyramids. Is this a large enough difference to warrant an edit? Takua 11:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Technically, the word is ziggurat, especially since there's no such thing as Mesoamerica in Azeroth. That being said, no, it's probably not a particularly important distinction. -- Dark T Zeratul 19:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
