Official Event Rules for Living Legends V
First off, I would like to thank everyone who contributed ideas, criticism, and other input from the last four years' Living Legends events. Without your valuable time and input we couldn't continue to improve his event. Thank you all!!!
Secondly, you will receive a copy of these rules when you check in, and you will be required to sign a form stating that you have read, and understand, these rules. Therefore "I didn't know I couldn't do that" is not a valid excuse if you violate the rules. Repeat violators can, and will, be ejected in the interest of providing an enjoyable weekend for the players who do read and play by the rules.
A printable copy is available here: Living Legends V Rules
Official Rules for CPX Living Legends V produced by Viper
No non-event .68 caliber paint allowed unless otherwise specified by Viper. Use of unapproved paint on the field is grounds for immediate ejection from the property with no refund.
This does not include Tiberius Arms "First Strike" rounds. You may provide your own if you wish. You may bring your own .43, .50, & .62 caliber paintballs as long as they do not have red fill. All .43, .50, & .62 caliber paintballs must be inspected and approved by Viper prior to use.
Alcohol: Adults of legal drinking age are allowed to consume alcoholic beverages up to 2am Saturday, as well as Saturday night after the dinner break. If you choose to consume ANY alcohol Saturday night you may NOT go back onto the field until Sunday. Anyone in violation of this rule WILL be ejected from the property for the duration of the event and possibly longer. We ask that all cans or bottles must be covered with a "Koozie" or other container cover. This is solely in the interest of not flaunting the consumption of alcohol in pictures or to patrons. Any consumption of alcohol by minors, or providing alcohol to minors, will be grounds for immediate ejection from the property with no refund, and the local authorities will be alerted.
Equipment and supplies
Player materials: When you check in you will receive your player materials and a Player Badge. Your player badge is your ticket to play, and must be on your person at all times. DO NOT LOSE IT!!! IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED!!! If you find one you must turn it in at the registration counter or Viper Command immediately as it is the personal property of another player.
Red or Blue ID Tape: Failure to wear ID tape on the field will result in a warning and a judge punch. One strip of 2" red or blue duct tape must be worn on your left arm between your elbow and shoulder, and must be clearly visible at all times. This tape will be provided to you by your commander or one of his officers, not by the event staff. The only legal way to acquire ID tape is from your commander or a legal member of that team that was placed on that side by the event staff. You must wear your ID tape while on the field.
Medics must also wear a white armband alongside their red or blue armband.
Each player will also receive a strip of one-inch wide colored tape from their unit leader to indicate what unit they are in. A twelve inch strip must be attached to the rear of your goggles and clearly visible from the rear. This must be worn anytime you are on the field and must be clearly visible anytime you are taking part in a mission for your particular unit. (HORDE UNITS: Gaul, Visigoths, Barbarians, Vandals, Huns. NEW EMPIRE UNITS: Blood Legion, Centaur Legion, Pegasus Legion, Minotaur Legion, Praetorian Guard)
Markers: Any commercially produced, commonly available .43, .50, .62, or .68 caliber paintball marker may be used Any marker that can be adjusted on the field, without tools, is required to have a locking device prevent this from being possible. All non-assisted pump markers may chrono up to 300 feet per second, while all others are limited to 280 feet per second. Any fire mode is allowed. However,all markers, including R/Ts, must be capped at 13 balls per second IN ALL MODES INCLUDING SEMI-AUTO MODE. You must also have a "barrel sock" for covering the end of your barrel in all non-play areas. Barrel plugs are not acceptable. Players caught with no barrel sock on their barrel in an off-field area other than the chrono may be ejected from the event with no refund. This includes markers with no paint or air. If it has a barrel it is required to have a barrel sock on it. Period.
LAW Rockets (Nerf Launchers): We do not allow the use of "sabot" rounds (wads of paintballs) or grenades as projectiles from launchers. You must use Nerf brand "Mini Vortex" or JCS "F-69" foam rockets. The only modification to these that will be allowed is trimming of no more than ½ inch off of each of the three fins. All launchers must be chronoed at less than 140 feet per second. These devices are for hard targets only such as vehicles, buildings, bunkers, bridges, etc. These devices may be used during daytime segments only. You must have a "Heavy Weapons Specialist" card to use a LAW on the field, and all launchers must be approved before use. LAWs cannot be used to complete official "destroy" missions.
Goggles: Goggles must meet current ASTM and insurance requirements, must be unaltered, must provide full face, eye, and ear protection, and must have suitable, uncracked and undamaged lenses in them. Players caught lifting their goggles, or breaking the seal of the goggles against their face, may be ejected with no refund. Be smart! Be SAFE!
Radios: Radios are allowed and encouraged. You may monitor any frequency you wish with the exception of the referee channel. Anyone caught monitoring the referee channel will be ejected from the event without refund, and their side will be assessed a score penalty. Players may use their radios anytime except while eliminated and walking either to their hospital or the field exit. Once in the hospital or off-field they may resume use of their radios. Players will not be allowed to stand off-field and gather reconnaissance of the enemy base or for recon and report missions.
Prohibited equipment: No tools or knives may be carried on the field. No personal fill stations allowed on the premises. Any items found in violation will be confiscated and may, or may not, be returned after the event. No unbreakable trip wires. No pyrotechnic devices. No unapproved smoke devices. No shields. No protective padding not commercially-designed for paintball play.
During play
Referees: Do not argue with a referee under any circumstances. If you disagree with a call ask them for their Judge number and see the Ultimate Judge or event director.
Player Refs: There are a number of experienced scenario players who serve as "Player Refs", our version of undercover cops. They are constantly watching for cheaters and unsafe players. They can also be helpful for answering questions if you cannot find a field referee. However, they are prohibited from signing off on any mission cards.
Non players on the field: Anyone wishing to enter the field to take photos, retrieve a lost item, or any other reason you must check with the scenario director before and after doing so. Non-players wishing to take video or photos on the field during play must have an official press pass issued by Viper. Players are welcomed to take photos and videos during play, but must exit the field as soon as they are eliminated.
Wildlife: Shooting of any wildlife will not be tolerated. If you accidentally do so please notify the nearest referee immediately so that we can make sure the animal is okay, or render assistance if necessary. If you witness someone doing so please notify the nearest ref immediately.
Eliminations: If you are hit by a paintball (even if the ball itself ricocheted) and it breaks on you, your gear, or your marker and leaves a quarter-sized mark, you are eliminated. During the nighttime segment (immediately following dinner break) all hits count whether they break or not. If you are wearing a "ghillie suit" all hits count on areas covered by this material. Once eliminated you must immediately exit the field or report to your "hospital." You must take the shortest reasonable path to do so. Using your "dead time" on the field to do reconnaissance will result in a judge punch on your player badge.
*It is important that you "get up and out" as soon as you are eliminated. Hold your marker high above your head and run out of the bunker! With the large number of players you will encounter it is hard to hear someone shouting "Hit!" while he/she searches for their barrel sock, and players will continue to shoot thinking you are still in. "Get up and out" and get away from the lines of fire, then search for your barrel sock!
Barrel-tagging: You may "barrel-tag" players and eliminate them without shooting. Unless it is on your marker the barrel must be at least 8 inches long, and in plain sight (not hidden up your sleeve). When you tag them you must immediately say, "Barrel tag!" when you touch them with it. Barrel-tagged players are immediately eliminated and are to walk away quietly. Failure to do so will result in a judge punch. After you have exited the area you may declare that you are eliminated as you continue to your hospital or an exit. Barrel tagged players cannot be healed by medics. No barrel tags are allowed during the "Dinner Battle" or "Final Battle."
Faking injuries or medical issues: This will not be tolerated for any reason. Using such ploys on the field will result in ejection from the event.
Surrenders: We request, whenever possible, that you request players within 20 feet to surrender. This is not a hard and fast rule, but a strongly suggested guideline. We also recommend that players who are given this option accept it graciously. The player who asked was displaying good sportsmanship. Please don't reward them with a close shot. Thank them for not shooting you at close range and report to your hospital.
Grenades: In order to be considered an elimination there must be enough paint on the player to be collected into a mark the size of a quarter. One or two specks will not be counted as an elimination.
Game Start: When the game begins your commander will already know what the first missions for each segment are. Be sure that you at your base and ready to go when each segment begins! For the first thirty minutes of each segment players who have not yet been in play may enter directly to their base. Once you are hit you must wait for the next insertion window to open.
Reinsertions: Players may only enter the game from their own hospital. Reinsertions happen every twenty minutes, and the window for inserting stays open for ten minutes. In other words the "window" is open for ten minutes, and then closed for ten minutes. This means that if you show up at the "hospital" at 2:58 you can reinsert at 3:00, but if you show up at 3:02 you may tag up, wipe off your old hit, and go right back to your base. When you insert at your hospital you must go directly to your HQ and remove your barrel sock before you may begin playing. The exception to this is a "Hot Insertion." If the opposing team has control of your base (the referee will make this judgment) you will be informed at your hospital that it will be a "Hot Insertion" which means that you are in immediately when the hospital opens. This time should be used to take out as many of the occupying forces as possible since you only have to tag up at your hospital when you get hit, as opposed to them having to go all the way back to their end of the field.
Each side will have access to a secondary insertion point. They may only use this insertion point after their opponents have pushed them back to a designated line on the field, and at the discretion of a senior referee. This line is called the "Broken Arrow" line. For the west HQ this line is through Cuidad Del Carmen and Oaxaca. For the east HQ this is Zacapa, Belize City, and Chetumal. Once they are pushed back to that position the commander, and ONLY the commander, may choose to sacrifice score points to get one regular ten-minute insertion from their secondary insertion point. The secondary insertion point for the west HQ will be the field entrance between Zacapa and Belize City. The secondary insertion point for the east HQ will be the field entrance between Tapachula and Guatemala City. The first secondary insertion will cost that commander twenty points. It then doubles each time he uses it. The same applies to his opponent, which is to say that his first secondary insertion will cost him twenty points, and that amount will double each time he uses it. The secondary insertion is only available if you are pushed beyond your "broken arrow" line and your commander requests it to be opened.
Command bunker and base: There is no shooting into, or out of, the command bunker. To eliminate everyone in the command bunker you need only to stick your foot inside the first doorway and announce "All DEAD!" At that point the base referee will clear out everyone in the bunker. The bunker is not destroyed, but everyone inside will be eliminated. No markers are allowed inside the command bunker except for the commander's. No props are allowed to be kept in the command bunker. No player may eliminate another player wearing the same color ID tape within fifty feet of their command bunker, or do anything harmful while wearing that color within fifty feet of the bunker.
Bunkers on the field: No player may move any bunkers unless specific provisions are outlined by the event director allowing him to do so.
Tanks: Any motorized vehicle must carry its own liability insurance, and list Xtreme Sports Inc and Kerry Rosenberry as "additional insured." All drivers must have a current, valid driver's license. The vehicle is limited to fast walking speed. It must have a clearly visible way for players to discern what color the tank is allied with, and it must have a bright orange flag that can be hoisted if it is eliminated.
All vehicles must have a full inspection by the ultimate judge at the event prior to being allowed on the field. The tank will receive its own badge with places for judge punches. Three rule violations will result in its permanent removal from the field.
Vehicles must remain at least 150 feet from the enemy's command bunker.
If the driver is unable to see due to paint splatter their windshield must be cleaned immediately.
Each vehicle must provide one attendant to supervise activities of the vehicle on the field. This attendant must accompany the tank everywhere. Their duties are to prevent human contact or rule violations, and to help notify the tank of grenade, Nerf, and satchel hits. They may not carry a marker, point out targets, or otherwise participate as a player while they are serving as a "tank walker."
You can take out a tank with a satchel charge or a LAW (Nerf launcher). Only "Nerf Mini Vortex" or "JCS F69" rounds may be used. The only modification to Nerfs that will be allowed is trimming of no more than ½ inch off of each of the three fins.
You can disable a tank (no movement, but it can still fire) for five minutes with a paint grenade. Players near a motorized tank may not get within 20 feet of the tank while the motor is running. Intentional violation of this by tanks or players will result in disciplinary action. Markers to be fired from the tank are limited to 260fps.
Tanks must have an audible 12 volt horn that is not overly loud, but can be heard 150 feet in any direction. For safety reasons this may not be a handheld air horn as these are reserved for emergencies. One long blast means the engine is off and players may use it as a bunker. Two blasts mean that the engine will start in five seconds and all players must move away from the tank.
All tanks must be cleared with the event director no less than three weeks prior to the event or they will not be allowed on the field. No exceptions!
Any air source inside the vehicle that is not attached to a marker or launcher must be securely anchored.
Vehicles are not to be used during the Dinner Battle or the Final Battle.
"Walking tanks": Human-powered tanks are asked to make the "tank" appear as much like a real vehicle as possible. Please build something more than a box to throw over your head. These are also limited to fast walking speed just as a motorized one, and will be required to use the same major roads and paths as a motorized tank. It must have a clearly visible way for players to discern what color the tank is allied with, and it must have a bright orange flag that can be hoisted if it is eliminated. You can take out a walking tank with a satchel charge or a LAW (Nerf launcher). You can disable it (no movement, but it can still fire) for five minutes with a paint grenade. Markers to be fired from the tank are limited to 260fps. All tanks must be cleared with the event director no less than three weeks prior to the event or they will not be allowed on the field. No exceptions! The 20 foot safety zone rule does not apply to walking tanks.
Demolitions: Any building, bridge, or bunker you see that has been wrapped in brightly colored one-inch tape has been destroyed. You may hide behind it or around it, but you may not enter the structure, or cross the bridge, until an engineer repairs it and removes the tape.
M.O.S. (Military Operations Specialty) types Your commander will assign these roles. If he so chooses he may unassign a role and reassign it to another player by calling in to central command and requesting approval before doing so. You may only be assigned one MOS. For more specific instructions these players should refer to their special MOS card and various supply cards that will be given to them by their commander.
Medic: If you intend to be a medic you must have a pen with you at all times! Medics can heal players who have not been barrel-tagged or blown up. They cannot "heal" head-shots. If you wish to be healed by a medic you must stop as close to where you were hit as possible and shout "Medic!" at which point the referee will give the medic a reasonable amount of time to reach you, wipe off your hit, and record you badge number on his "Medic Supplies Card." You are not to be shot at once you call for a medic, nor can you verbally interact with players. The medic can be eliminated while in the process of completing his tasks. A player calling for a medic is not to be targeted by paintballs. The medic is not to use the player to be healed as a bunker.
Demolitions Expert: Can use satchel charges to destroy bridges, bunkers, and buildings.
Engineer: Can rebuild destroyed bridges, bunkers, and buildings.
Heavy Weapons Specialist: Cleared to carry Light Antitank Weapons. (LAWs)
There are a number of things that affect your score. All of them have to do with defending your territories or capturing your enemy's territories.
There are fifteen contestable territories on the map. They are Veracruz, Oaxaca, Tapachula, Cuidad Del Carmen, Villa De Los Muertos, Guatemala City, Belize, Belize City, Tik'al, Maya Mountains, Campeche, Merida, Cancun, Chetumal, and Playa Del Carmen. Each of these will have a primary "Conquest Marker" (a Viper "Slap Stick" with a sign indicating the location). To "capture" a territory you must change the "Conquest Marker" to your side's color and keep it that way for fifteen minutes. If it gets changed back before the fifteen minutes is up your capture was unsuccessful.
Capturing territories: Your commander will receive orders to capture a specific enemy territories. If you can successfully capture it during the prescribed time you will receive one hundred points.
Defending territories: Your commander will also be directed to defend a specific territories for a prescribed amount of time. If the other side successfully captures it at any time before the mission ends your side will lose fifty points.
Skirmish: Your commander will have a schedule that will list specific times that particular units are to capture specific territories. A large force, the majority of which must be members of the designated unit, must capture the prescribed territory during the prescribed interval. If you have too many players in the skirmish who are not members of the requisite unit your side will forfeit the skirmish. If their skirmish is successful your side will receive 25 points.
Special Missions: There will be a number of special missions issued to the commanders each hour. Completion of these will yield extra points on top of the other scoring options.
Major props
Supply caches: There will be various supply caches hidden throughout the field. These will be padlocked and chained to objects on the field. If you have the proper key you can unlock the box, retain the supplies inside, and turn in the box, lock, chain, and key for bonus points for your side. If you tamper with a supply box without a key your side will be penalized. In order to be awarded bonus points you must turn in all four items: the box, lock, chain, and the key.
Third Faction: The "Rippers"
The city is inhabited by 20 to 30 cannibals who have totally digressed into a savage tribe who worship pagan gods. They emulate the "Jaguar Warriors" of the ancient Aztec society. These were the most elite warriors of the Aztec army, and were easily recognizable by their jaguar skins, jaguar warpaint, and sometimes even jaguar skulls as headdresses. These savage individuals have become known as "Rippers" by most of the civilized people, and they will even refer to themselves by that name. Their intense study of the ancient Jaguar Warriors has given them amazing jungle skills allowing them to appear and disappear almost like ghosts in the jungle. It is unknown whether this is a mystical reason for this, or if they simply have vast knowledge of the tunnels and trails in the jungle. As far as game mechanics go the "Rippers" will have the ability to travel outside the tapeline and enter at a point of their choosing.
Ritual pieces: The Rippers have found records of ancient ceremonies and rituals that they believe will bring back their fallen warriors or grant them special powers. The have a list of specific artifacts that they desperately want to acquire so that they may perform these rituals. If you have one of these items you may be able to negotiate a cease fire with them or even solicit their assistance for a period of time.
Personal Property
Personal property of others is to be respected at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, the contents of their player packet, generators, noisemakers, perimeter warning devices, flashlights, spotlights, etc. If you come across something of this sort and need/want to disable it you must check with a judge before doing so. Items such as generators, noisemakers, or perimeter warning devices you wish to take on the field must be approved by Viper before doing so.

Month: June 2011
Cincinnati – Terrys Turf Club
Last weekend we made a trip to Cincinnati for a short Fathers Day visit with my dad. Having been rained out on our Father/Son/Grandson fishing trip Saturday morning we quickly moved to the Plan B activity.
Located in the East End/Mount Washington area of town sits what some could say is a neighborhood eye sore but in this case Terry's Turf Club actually improves the otherwise run down neighborhood. As we drove to Terry's for lunch I could not help but wonder if there was a mugging in my future. When you see couches on the sidewalk and mattresses in the front yard you start to realize you might be in the wrong neighborhood (or we missed one hell of a party last night).
With it's abundance of neon lights (inside and out) and motorized arm-waving signs it's impossible to miss this place. Diners Drive-ins and Dives did a segment in 2010 and the restaurant looked very intriguing. I'm not a Guy Fieri stalker by any stretch of the imagination but I've been to a few places featured on his show. There's a lot of disagreement on the Internet about the places he picks, etc. but so far I have to say he's exposed some gems to the Food Network audience.
Back to Terry's… We arrived around 2pm and there was a small group of people standing around outside. We lucked out and scored a parking spot right in front of the place (including a perfect parallel parking job if i say so myself). There were cars lined up and down the street a good 200-feet in either direction and a light drizzle was bringing people in under the awning. We added our name to the list and settled in for a 30-minute wait (my limit to wait for ANY food by the way). I'm curious if the DDD exposure contributed to the popularity of Terry's or if it's just one of those places that draws a crowd on its own.
My dad brought out a bowl of in-shell peanuts for the kids (and us) to help pass the time. We watched groups of people going in and out of Terry's and those exiting all looked happy. My dad asked one lady how it was when she came out and she answered "wonderful".
It was our turn to be seated & we were placed right inside the door at a tall 4-top that was converted to a 5-top. A little cramped but workable, plus it was right next to the electronic jukebox with 5 song credits ready to be picked and played. I'm not a fan of the raised chair/table combo and prefer having my feet on the floor when I eat but I'm not going to let this ruin my experience. Neon signs are definitely the predominant decor at Terry's.
The menu at Terry's is simple yet complex. They are known for their burgers and the vast array of toppings, some of which are surprising (Fioe Gras, Halloumi Cheese, Crab, Pate, Scallops…). If you're not careful your $8.00 burger could easily exceed $15. I went for the Burger (medium), Bacon, Swiss, lettuce, raw onion & a portabella cap ($10.75 total). My son ordered a similar combo but with shitake mushrooms instead.
My dad ordered a burger with Brie (one of my least favorite cheeses no matter what you pair it with). The girls ordered their burgers and we split 2 orders of fries among the table (plenty of fries by the way). Each food order was written on it's own slip and your name was added to the top for good measure.
After we placed our orders and selected a few songs on the jukebox it was time to start looking around the place in a little more detail. There could not be any more than 40 people in the place and the noise level was a little high. If you are thinking about bringing kids here be sure they can take a little noise without being uncomfortable. I was a little concerned about how our son would react to the chaos (he's not a loud noise fan) but he was a trooper.
Unfortunately the humidity, air conditioning, and exposed HVAC ducts right above my left shoulder resulted in a few shockingly cold drips during our meal. Nothing major but a little annoying nonetheless. After the mixed reviews on Urban Spoon I was wondering how long it would take for our food to arrive. 10-15 minutes passed & our orders were delivered (not bad at all) . All burgers were all cooked & dressed as requested & the fry's looked great!
Everything was served on paper plates & the forks were plastic. If you want a knife to cut your burger they bring you a giant slicer and return it to the holder on the wall after you use it. I doubt Terry has a dish washer on his staff since the only thing that needs to be washed are the tables and the soda cups. This was a little surprising considering the price of the food and toppings. But, if you look at it another way, this definitely cuts down on the table turnover time which is important when you have a constant line of hungry patrons. None of the customers really seems to care and it was served that way when DDD was shooting the segment.
The burgers were good really good. Cooked to order, dressed to order and generous in size. Lots of "Yums" at the table as everyone dug in and took the first bite of their sandwich. I was surprised to find not one but TWO nice-sized portabella caps on my burger. This created a mushroom to beef ratio nearing 1:1 and required the jaw separating ability of a snake. A little squish, lots of juice, and some trial and error finally got this burger in my belly. If I had one "complaint" it was the little-to-no seasoning of the portabella caps. Everything else was spot on. A little seasoning on the mushroom would have gone a long way. Having tried a bite of my son's (seasoned) shitake topped burger confirmed this suspicion.
Throughout the meal the staff was attentive and everyone had a good experience. The check came & totaled just under $100 (5 burgers, 2 fries, 3 sodas & 3 beers). A little steep but not unexpected after reading various reviews online.
Terry's Turf Club was a great change from the "normal" burger joint. It's quirky, uniquely decorated and efficiently run. The burger "accessories" are over the top and the location is a little sketchy. This it all works to give residents and visitors alike something to talk about when discussing good food in Cincinnati. Besides, how much can be said about Chilli, and don't get me started about my disdain for Goetta.
We're going to be back in the area soon and I'm going to seek out Zip's which I hear is the local competitor to Terry's Turf Club. I'll be sure to write up a review of that one as well.
Lemon Custard Ice Cream
This is a family recipe that I grew up on. I promised in the Maple Bacon Ice Cream post that I would share. Since it's a custard the lemon flavor is smooth and sweet, not tart.
2 C. whipping cream
2 C. half-and-half
1 C. sugar
1/3 C. finely grated lemon zest
6 large egg yolks
pinch of salt
1 t. pure vanilla extract
3/4 C. fresh lemon juice
Bring the cream, half-and-half, sugar and zest just to a boil over medium heat in a heavy medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Whisk the egg yolks and salt together in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the cream mixture to the yolk mixture and whisk until blended.
In a slow steady stream, add the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly, and continue whisking until blended.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until the custard thickens and leaves a path on the back of a wooden spoon when a finger is drawn across it; do not allow the mixture to boil.
Immediately pour the custard through a strainer into a bowl and stir in the vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hours, until thoroughly chilled.
When ready to freeze, stir the lemon juice into the cold custard, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For a firmer texture, transfer to a freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Yield: 1 1/2 quarts.
007 is Back!
I started reading the latest James Bond book called "Carte Blanche" by Jeffery Deaver. Mr. Deaver has modernized 007 and readers will find a younger, more "hip" Bond. All of the old characters are still there & so far it's a great read. It's kind of hard to put down!
This is the first Bond book that I've read on the Kindle & I think I'm going to purchase the back catalog so I can re-read the classics in the new electronic format.
If you're a Bond fan I think you'll enjoy this latest book. Although the author is new to the Bond franchise you can definitely tell he's a fan & I'm looking forward to more of his books.
How to Ruin a $30 Batch of Ice Cream
Nothing brings back the childhood memories more than making homemade ice cream. When I was growing up my Grandmother had one of those electric models that used ice and rock salt. The smell of the electric motor mixed with the super cold ice/salt mixture is so distinctive it can take me back to the breezeway in a heartbeat.
Having obtained her recipe for Lemon Custard Ice Cream (future blog post I promise) I purchased the necessary attachment for my Kitchen Aid stand mixer (specifically for that recipe). It consists of a double walled stainless steel bowl filed with a freezable liquid and a plastic dasher. The Kitchen Aid churns the mixture to a semi-frozen state which, once achieved, you eat it right away soft serve style or put it in a container and freeze overnight. The entire freezing process takes about 30 minutes. Sounds easy, right? Read on…If you've never made homemade ice cream, I mean really good quality homemade ice cream, you probably don't understand the amount of work, time, and expense that goes into the final product. This time around I opted for a new creation that my daughter and I thought up while talking about food one evening. A quick Google search located a recipe that looked promising.
Maple Bacon Ice Cream. Yes, Maple Syrup, Heavy Cream, Egg Yolks, and Candied Bacon frozen together into a delicious treat that covers that sweet and salty spectrum we all love. So far so good, what can go wrong? Let's investigate this crime scene piece by piece…
The first step of the process is reducing the maple syrup by about 1/2. This is easily done and takes about 20-30 minutes. You need to keep an eye on it though as it tends to bubble up. Once complete, you set this off to the side and work on the next step.
To achieve the ever so highly desired creamy consistency you need to make custard. This, in its simplest form, involves cream, sugar, and egg yolks. This recipe also has three additional ingredients, Bacon, Maple Syrup and Brown Sugar.
The first step is to "scald" the milk. This just means heating it to 180°F (no more, no less). Once the proper temperature is reached you add the sugar stirring just enough to dissolve. Pour the milk mixture into the reduced maple syrup and heat everything to 160°F stirring so the syrup incorporates into the milk.
Next you beat the egg yolks until pale and start tempering the eggs with the heated milk mixture, beating with a whisk the entire time (unless you want scrambled eggs in your ice cream). After you slowly add about 1/3 of the heated milk to the eggs (whisking the entire time), you pour the egg/milk mixture back into the remaining 2/3 of the milk. You're still whisking like a maniac, right?… RIGHT?
Now you are well on your way to a good, basic, custard. Keep stirring, and cooking slowly, until you get a semi-thick consistency. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Remove the custard from the heat and pour into a heat proof bowl. Make sure you press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the custard to keep the top from forming a skin.
Cool the custard bowl on the counter for 30-45 minutes and then put it into the fridge for 12-24 hours. Yes, 12-24 hours. You're done for the day. Start cleaning up your mess and find something else to do! Make sure your ice cream making equipment is in the freezer too. Regardless of what you're using you will want to make sure everything that touches the custard tomorrow is cold.
OK Ben (or is it Jerry?), it's the next day. You waited the proper 12-24 hours, right? Time to start the next step in this ice cream making marathon…
Start by cooking your bacon (however your normally do it). I use the oven and bake on parchment paper at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. This was the mistake that ruined the final product. Keep reading for the nasty details.
Time to set up your ice cream making equipment… It can be the old fashioned hand crank (good for making the little ones miserable with the promise of sugar for their efforts), electric crank, or the modern multi-function kitchen appliance method.
This step is easy. Fill your bowl, insert the dasher, turn said equipment on and set your timer for 25-minutes.
While you're churning, sprinkle brown sugar on the bacon strips and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes. Flip and repeat. Allow the bacon to cool again and then chop into bite sized pieces. A brûlée torch would be a great replacement for the broiler process.
That $7 container of high-end custard form the store down the street is sounding pretty good right now isn't it?
Once the 25 minutes is up you should have a semi-solid product. Add the candied bacon and continue to mix until just incorporated. The ice cream can now be eaten as is (soft serve style) or placed in a container and frozen for another 12-24 hours. I opted for freezer time and was anticipating digging in the next day. We shared some bites of the soft server off the dasher and determined this was going to be a winning recipe.
Before we get to the final product let's review what we have in this so far…
Making your own ice cream at home is fun. It takes some time but the end result is usually worth the effort. In this case we were into this recipe for about $30. We used some of the best ingredients we could get our hands on and were happy to know exactly what was in our frozen treat.
- Heavy Cream $6
- Organic Brown Eggs $4
- White Sugar $2.50
- Brown Sugar $2.50
- Indiana Maple Syrup $10
- Nueske's Aplewood Smoked Bacon $5
I actually did not add all of this up until after the fact and realized how expensive this little adventure turned out.
Final Result
The ice cream has had its 24-hour rest in the freezer. To be honest I almost forgot about it since we started this process 3 days ago…
The end result was firm and very smooth frozen custard with chunks of candied bacon. Exactly what we were trying to accomplish! This is GREAT! Let's dig in…
But first, let me ask you this… How many of you keep a little stash of bacon fat in the fridge for fried eggs and things? OK, we have a few virtual hands raised out there, good. Now, how many of you would take a spoonful of said bacon fat and place it in your mouth? Really, no one? OK…
Remember a few steps back where we put sugar on our bacon and placed it in the broiler? Notice how I neglected to remove the bacon, drain on paper towels and place on a fresh piece of parchment before starting the candying process? Once the sugar is melted it all kind of blends together and in the rush to melt the sugar, and not burn it, you sometimes fail to notice these things.
I scooped a generous portion into a dish and dug in.
First bite? AWESOME!
Second bite? Really good!
Third bite? Uh oh… what is that? It's like a piece of butter or something… Wait, there's no butter in this… Eww, it's all over the roof of my mouth and covering my tongue. Why can't I taste anything?
Oh, crap… It's frozen bacon fat. It's not just a little frozen bacon fat, it's a lot of frozen bacon fat. The tell-tale white streaks are running throughout the custard… Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present… Maple, Bacon, Bacon Fat, Custard!
It was awful… I wanted to like it but that mouth coating of bacon fat just ruined it for me. I still have it in the freezer of any brave soul wants to come on over and try it out. It's being thrown out tomorrow. The bacon fat was not noticeable when the custard was in soft server form (and directly out of the ice cream machine. Only after it has time to solidify did it become noticeable..
In retrospect, the maple custard was awesome by itself. I think the addition of some toasted pecans would make it really good. The next time we make this I'm substituting bacon for nuts. In fact, I may be tossing that little container of bacon fat I see every time I open the fridge. It's going to take a little time for me to get over this one.
As with any recipe, the devil is usually in the details. Had I thought to properly drain and blot the fat off the bacon I'm convinced this entire experience would have ended quite differently.
For those of you interested in making this for yourself, I'm including the recipe below. Be sure to learn from my mistakes and drain that bacon!
Maple Ice Cream with Bacon
- 12 oz of the best maple syrup you can afford
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 20 oz heavy cream
- 14 oz milk
- At least six strips of caramelized bacon, cut into bacon bit sized pieces (I used brown sugar for the candy coating).
- Cook the maple syrup down to 1/2 its volume about 3/4 of a cup. This stuff tends to boil over so take it slow and low. Check it frequently and do your best to keep it away from a full boil.
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, and syrup reduction. Stir to dissolve the maple syrup reduction. Bring to a bare simmer. Depending on the temperature when it is added, you may find that the syrup reduction solidifies. Do not fear. When you get above 160 degrees F, it will easily mix into the liquid.
- While the milk and cream are heating, mix the yolks with the salt. Beat well.
- Temper the eggs with the dairy mixture by slowly adding about 1/3 of the liquid(in two or three additions). Remember to whisk constantly during the tempering process. Add the eggs mixture to the remaining milk mixture. Stir constantly until the temperature reaches 175F.
- Cool to room temperature overnight. Freeze in your ice cream machine and add the caramelized bacon at the last minute or so of freezing.
Tilt Shift Photography
I've been seeing the Tilt Shift process more often lately & I find it pretty incredible. Real landscapes and city scenes look like little toys. Sometimes you have to really study the picture to determine if it's real or a picture of a miniature set.
If you're not familiar with this type of photography here's a Google link to hundreds of examples. There are software tools that let you take just about any photo and give it the Tilt Shift perspective.
I'm finding that a lot of these images make great desktop wallpaper on the computer. The process can also be used for movies as seen in the following video. This totally looks like some kind of claymation movie…
The Digital Pen That Delivers
I was in a meeting a few months ago and one of the vendors had an unusual looking pen. I quickly did a Google search and discovered the pen was called a "LiveScribe" pen and it has quite a loyal following. The pen digitizes your handwriting, records meeting audio and a whole lot more. After some online research and the discovery of a great deal on eBay I had one to try for myself.
The first thing I noticed once I unpacked the pen is its size. I'm used to full sized pens with the daily use of my Dunhill Sidecar but this one was just a little bit chunkier (and all plastic). The weight is well balanced and it's pretty easy to get used to the feel of the pen.
The "secret" to the LiveScribe system is a special Moleskine like notebook with micro-dot paper and a pen with a infra-red camera in the tip. Navigation "buttons" at the bottom of each page control various functions of the pen.
If you don't want to use the Moleskine type notebooks you can print your own pages if you have access to a 600 dpi color printer. Other notebooks are available in various form factors.
After you turn on the pen (important) and take notes, you plug the pen into your computer and the software downloads a copy of your notebook. The mico-dots tell the application what notebook and page the notes were written on. You can have up to 8 notebooks in the system (200 pages each) before you have to start archiving data. It's pretty impressive how well this all works. Individual pages from multiple notebooks can be grouped together into a virtual notebook within the software. All pages can be printed for more flexibility. Being left handed I found the spiral bound started notebook to be a little difficult to use but the Moleskine type books are working great.
The latest software upgrade allows you to draw a double line anywhere on the page and write "email", "Facebook", or "Evernote" and once you sync the pen your notes will perform that pre-defined action, such as email a copy of your notes as a PDF.
A built-in audio recording function allows you to record meetings and directly tie the recording timeline to your notes. After the meeting you can tap any word in your notes and the recording will start playing what was recording when you were writing that particular word. I have played with this feature a few times but very few of the meetings I attend really need to be recorded. I did use it for a 2-hour vendor seminar and it worked perfectly. The 4GB model will record up to 400 hours of audio.
Livescribe offers various applications such as foreign language translations and games such as hangman. One of the most used features, besides the pen, is the calculator. Inside the notebook covers (front and back) are calculator "buttons" that you can tap on at any time to perform just about any calculation. If you need to perform scientific calculations an optional app and calculator card can be purchased for around $6.
For those of you that use Evernote, all of your notes can be synchronized with the online service. An optional OCR application can even turn your handwritten notes into editable text!
This pen has a lot of powerful functions built into a small package. The development of applications is a little slow but the apps that are available are solid and work as advertised.
The biggest thing you have to get used to is turning the pen on each time you use it. If you don't turn it on the pen will not capture your notes electronically & it works just like a (dumb) pen.
The Livescribe system, which includes the pen and a starter notebook is priced as follows:
- 4GB Model $149.99**
- 8GB Model $199.99
- Journals vary in price from $9.99-19.99
**I was able to find my 4GB model on eBay for about 1/2 price.
It remains to be seen if the Livescribe pen is a toy or a productivity tool. For now I'll have to say the concept is working quite well and I have been happy with the purchase.

Volatile oil prices and a weak dollar sent stocks plunging yesterday as the prospect of inflation and rising interest rates sank in on Wall...
NEW YORK — Volatile oil prices and a weak dollar sent stocks plunging yesterday as the prospect of inflation and rising interest rates sank in on Wall Street. Yields on long-dated Treasuries surged to an eight-month high and the Dow Jones industrial average skidded 107 points.
The Dow closed down 107.00 at 10,805.62, diminishing hopes that the index would soon break the 11,000 mark for the first time in nearly four years.
Microsoft, one of the 30 Dow stocks, declined 9 cents to close at $25.31 a share. Boeing, also a Dow stock, slipped 4 cents to $57.75.

The broader gauges also slid. The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 12.42 to 1,207.01. The Nasdaq composite index fell 12.26 to 2,061.29.
A gradual acceleration of inflation and a rally in commodities have made investors increasingly nervous about stocks, as many on Wall Street predict a slowdown in corporate profits for 2005. Those concerns were in high relief yesterday as the feeble dollar and bearish bond market combined with a rise in gold and oil prices to create a storm of selling.
"Profit margins have peaked, inflation is on the way up, and those aren't generally good things for stocks," said John Caldwell, chief investment strategist for McDonald Financial Group, part of Cleveland-based KeyCorp. "So weakness in the bond market on top of that tends to make people skittish. … It just makes people question their thinking that much more."
Oil futures came within 2 cents of their all-time intraday high, but fell back late in the session, settling up just 18 cents at $54.77 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Weekly government data showed a larger-than-expected rise in domestic crude inventories, but declines in supplies of gasoline and distillate fuel, which includes heating oil.
Some traders had speculated that oil prices would climb higher still amid supply concerns and as cold weather caused shudders in the Northeast. Energy stocks finished sharply lower, with Exxon Mobil the worst-performer on the Dow, tumbling $2.31, to $60.79.
It was also a challenging day on the bond market, as the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to its highest level since July, settling at 4.51 percent, up from 4.39 percent late Tuesday.
The selling stepped up after the Federal Reserve released its survey of business conditions, known as the Beige Book; the report said the economy was strong, but suggested inflation may be starting to rise. Some saw this as a hint that the Fed might take a more aggressive posture on raising short-term rates at its March 22 meeting.
Bond traders had already moved to bearish positions as the Treasury auctioned $15 billion in five-year notes yesterday, and prepared to sell $9 billion in 10-year notes today. Some of the nervousness was related to an ongoing debate about foreign buyers' appetite for U.S. debt, especially in the face of a weaker dollar.
Michael Strauss, chief economist at Commonfund, said a combination of solid economic growth and rising inflation risk is "a caution flag that the market's perception that the Fed is going to be close to completing its tightening moves is probably not correct."
"I think the bond market is going through a reality check," Strauss said. "The bottom line is that the economy looks healthier, it looks like it's absorbed some hiccups … but inflation is coming. And more importantly, the Fed recognizes this."

Masterson to return in relief role
The Indians have their ace back for the postseason push. All-Star starter Justin Masterson is returning in relief.
Masterson, sidelined since Sept. 2 with a strained oblique muscle, has been cleared to pitch and could be on the mound as early as Wednesday night against Chicago as the Indians try to hold onto one of the AL's two wild-card spots.
It's unlikely Masterson will start again this year unless the Indians play deep into October, but manager Terry Francona said it will be nice to have the right-hander as an option out of the bullpen as Cleveland tries to clinch its first playoff appearance since 2007.
"What ended up possibly being a big negative for us, having Masty not around, all of a sudden has a chance to be a big weapon for us moving forward," Francona said.
Masterson, who went 14-10 with a 3.52 ERA in 29 starts before he had to be pulled in the second inning of a start against Baltimore, hasn't pitched in relief since 2008, when both he and Francona were with the Boston Red Sox.
"It's been quite some time, especially with any significance," Masterson said before joking about becoming the 16th reliever in Cleveland's bullpen. "We have like 100 guys down there, too. I might have to sit in the bathroom."
Kidding aside, the Indians are thrilled to have Masterson available down the stretch.
Masterson pitched a simulated game on Sunday after the Indians completed a four-game sweep of Houston. With Progressive Field's stands empty, Masterson worked in front of Francona, Cleveland's coaches and general manager Chris Antonetti. It was Masterson's final hurdle before he could be cleared to return.
"He did terrific," Francona said. "His stuff was really good. He wasn't down that long and it shows."
Masterson said he pitched as if it was a "real" game.
"I gave it all I got, to really try and test myself to see what we got," he said. "I threw just one inning, but it felt pretty good after that."
While Masterson would love to start again this season, he wants to be smart and the Indians will be cautious with the 28-year-old, who was having his best season before he got hurt.
However, if Cleveland can advance beyond the division series, it's possible Masterson could start again.
"That would be part of the goal," he said. "What we want to do is make sure we're not getting too greedy and get where we want to, so I'm not counting anything out. However we can help the team. Because I want to make sure that although I feel good, will we still be great over four or five innings? Ultimately that's how I like to do things, go as deep as I can. That's why we want to make sure we're in the right position for that so we're not hurting our team when it comes time for something like that."
Masterson acknowledged that it's been frustrating not to be able to help his teammates, but he's been pitching in as best he can.
"It's great because we're winning ballgames," he said. "That's been fun. The guys are going out there and playing hard. Look at Ubaldo (Jimenez), he's been tremendous for us and that's what you would like to see and everyone else is picking it up.
"They don't need me. I'm just here to encourage and smile and give them hugs. It seems like that's working right now."

Ads on apps and android browsers are annoying yet an integral part of the facilities you're using. As most of these websites and apps provide you free service and content, there has to be a catch for using it, right? That's where these ads come in. Many brands and companies act as sponsors to the applications and websites and in turn, they advertise themselves through those pesky pop-ups.
Sounds like a fair deal to keep using this product for free, right? Sure, in an ideal world. But for people smarter than that, there are ways to bend the rules and skip those ads for good. Here are a few ways to do it.

The easiest remedy to rid yourself of website ads is to use the Opera browser for surfing the net on your smartphone. This browser has a built-in ad blocker which will do that trick for you. You can download the Opera browser here.
Though it does not come with a default setting, chrome has an option to block ads too. Click on the three dots menu icon and go to settings. Look for site settings in the advanced section and go to the pop-ups option where you can block ads. This will take care of all the websites ads you encounter while surfing. This does not work for app ads, so you'll need something more for it.
Having the AdBlock Plus app will ensure you never see another Ad while using apps. However, Google has tried to outsmart us and has banned most of these ad blockers. So, you can download the APK file off the internet and then install it into your smartphone using file manager. Depending on if you're using a rooted or non-rooted device, you can give the app required permissions and set up proxy before you use it. You can follow these instructions to set up the app. Once you're done, it will block all ads. You can also venture further with more options to set up specific ad filters.
The data saving option on Chrome compresses several aspects on the web page that aren't required to save data, including those ads that interrupt and use up unnecessary MBs.

High school football: Timpview's defense strong from top to bottom and everywhere in between
TVDAD Provo, UTNov. 23, 2013 4:12 a.m.
We knew we could slay the Beast that is East. They were a fearsome sight to behold, coming in with all those D1 commits with the crazy stats: points scored, yards gained, margin of victory, etc. The thing that Timpview knew was that East had always looked impressive coming into RES. Even when we lost to East in the 2011 semis we felt that, except for some dropped passes, missed tackles and great plays by the East qb/receiver tandem, we still had a good chance of playing them close. After beating them last year (with my son at MLB) in the snow, we felt that we had the right personnel to do it again this year. Nothing but respect for what East has done, but IMO this Timpview's defense was the best in the state - IN ANY CLASSIFICATION. We will never know for sure since we don't get to play Bingham. They rightly deserve the #1 in the state title because they won all their games, but if we did play . . . . who knows?
UtahBruin Saratoga Springs, UTNov. 22, 2013 2:28 p.m.
You cant just jump on the band wagon of teams. "Run and Hide" huh? I guess TV did "Lock and Load", they ended up slaying the beast.
My 31-28 prediction I guess wasnt all that bad.
Congratulations to Timpview! Another well deserved Championship. Congratulations to East also, they had a great season and played a heck of a game. But TV is the Champ!
Pig Skin, the Bingham bandwagon leaves next.
I like Bingham to win, but I am pulling for Brighton and the upset.
The Official Bingham Canyon, UTNov. 22, 2013 1:53 p.m.
To East: good team, good season couldn't get it done. but a couple of comments about the game.at the end of the game the T- birds in Victory formation, East shows very poor sportsmanship by attacking the linemen at their ankles, reflects East leadership, from the top down.Champions know how to win or lose with their heads held high and proud because they represent their school.
Fact is Coach Matich could not win a state championship with a very good team while coaching at Park City, and so far, cant get it done at East. With great talent in Park City and East, seems like the coaching has a history of being a stumbling block to win State. Better luck next year Coach.
Congrats to the Timp-View T- Birds on another State Championship! enjoy and reflect on your season. East, hold your heads up and be great- full for what you have accomplished.
scrappy do DRAPER, UTNov. 22, 2013 1:43 p.m.
I think Timpview just stopped the 3 headed beast in its tracks
UtahBruin Saratoga Springs, UTNov. 22, 2013 8:59 a.m.
East is a great team. They are solid on the offensive side of the ball. Timpviews offense is solid as well. They run a different style of offense than East, but they are solid. I think Defense is where this game is won. And I think T-View has the better defense. East is going to get their points, there is no doubt. I just think T-View is going to have more stops. I like T-View in a close one. Timpview 31 East 28
Pig Skin Fan Syracuse, UTNov. 21, 2013 2:52 p.m.
TV beware of what you ask for. The Beast from the East-"Ula" Metamorphed to the Three Headed Monster "Ula-Kai-Ton". If you don't Run and Hide, you better Lock N Load! The end has come.
mab93 Provo, UTNov. 21, 2013 1:36 p.m.
@Pig Skin Fan - If anyone should run and hide it should be East's offense, but neither team is the type to run and hide so I'm expecting a great game. Timpview will be ready. I think it will be a close game where both teams play hard from start to finish, but I think Timpview will pull it off in the end.
plyxply SLC, UTNov. 21, 2013 1:31 p.m.
Having faced both of these teams this year I think East will win but it won't be by much. Timpview is legit defensively and has enough athletes to stay with East. The question in my mind is how effective with the East defense be vs Timpview's O? Covey is tough to defend but if the East front seven can keep him bottled up they should win the game. Can't wait to watch this one!
T-birds to win Provo / Utah, UTNov. 21, 2013 11:26 a.m.
Pig Skin Fan, Timpview doesn't run and hide from anyone! I'm sure coach Whittingham will have them ready to play against East just like he did last year.I think this will be a close game, but i believe Timpview will come out on top again. And bring home another championship Trophy. How is Syracuse doing anyway? oh ya that's right they are at home watching the games on tv.
TedDiBiase Rose Park, UTNov. 21, 2013 11:09 a.m.
If they go by number of coaches on the field, east should win. Last week I counted at least 20, and that was just the men in the blue jackets.
Pig Skin Fan Syracuse, UTNov. 21, 2013 9:49 a.m.
Good Luck stopping the Three Headed Monster "Ula-Kai-Ton" from East averaging 12 yards per touch. Crazy number for Three RB's on the same team. We shall see if you are strong top to bottom; I say "Run and Hide, Run and Hide".

Adam jokes sometimes that we're hippies. Some of our friends laugh at some of the things we do, (like the fact that I had my placenta encapsulated after both boys were born, or that I usually have a batch of kombucha brewing). I'll admit, we are a little "crunchy".
The urban dictionary's definition for crunchy mom is much more extreme than we are (I buy my own bread and will gladly send my kids to school, thankyouverymuch), but I can say yes to chopping up my placenta and consuming it, so I'm definitely a little crunchy!
We still eat white sugar, although I try to reduce the amount in most recipes. I don't buy all organic produce, but I definitely look at the ingredients on things and try to pick things with shorter ingredient lists and without high fructose corn syrup. We still eat frozen pizza in a bind and occasionally drink soda. Basically we've figured out what works for us.
We don't go to the chiropractor (though we know lots of people who swear by it), but I have had osteopathic manipulation done before and highly recommend it. (If you are in Des Moines, I recommend the Des Moines University Clinic). I've been taking Foster in for an adjustment every other month and knock on wood, he's been really healthy!
I am a firm believer in preventive medicine over disease treatment when possible. We're not against going to the doctor, but we don't go at the first sign of a cough or sniffle. If we can avoid antibiotics, especially for the boys, we do.
I've blogged about some of the "natural things" I do around the house like using wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets and natural drain cleaner instead of Draino. I thought it would be fun to do a series on some of my other "crunchy" habits.
Here's what it will include:
- What is kombucha, why we drink it, and how to brew it at home.
- Why I had my placenta encapsulated
- Why we cloth diaper and my favorite cloth diaper supplies
- How we use essential oils
- Breast feeding, baby wearing, and baby-led weaning
And of course I'd love to hear about your tips and tricks for natural or "crunchy" living!

VM HA (Hyper-V) implements high availability at the virtual machine level, while Application HA (Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird) implements high availability at the application level.
We start this article with the example of an Application HA cluster (Microsoft SQL Server 2012) and with the example of a VM HA cluster (Hyper-V). Both clusters have been implemented with real time replication and failover of the SafeKit software.
Then, this article examines:

This is an essential feature for a software publisher which deploys its application in heterogeneous environments. The high availability of its application must work on physical servers, in VMware environments (with or without the VMware HA option), in Hyper-V environments (with or without the Microsoft cluster option), in other hypervisors...
For instance, today we have a generic solution for deploying in or outside the cloud the Evidian Web Access Manager application with SafeKit load balancing, real-time replication and failover.
Contrary to Microsoft NLB, SafeKit network load balancing works without any special configuration in VMware.
SafeKit offers a simple and economical solution to build a private cloud with
This solution works with the free edition of Hyper-V 2012 R2. The architecture does not require a shared disk or a replicated SAN if the two servers are in two remote computer rooms.
A video of an Hyper-V cluster with load balancing, replication, HA and failover built with SafeKit demonstrates this architecture.
Note that this architecture does not work with VMware ESXi because SafeKit cannot be installed in the VMware hypervisor.

Warning: Tanning Beds Cause Cancer/
A report that came out last week shows that the ultraviolet radiation from tanning beds are a serious cancer risk, ranking with arsenic and mustard gas! Dude, mustard gas?! An analysis of 20 studies shows that the risk of skin cancer goes up 75 percent if you start using tanning beds before you're 30. You know what this means: Don't tan this way! I've always been suspicious of these tubular glowing beds, and I'm glad this information is getting out there.
For those of you born with darker coloring, enjoy that nature-given sun-kiss. For the ghost-skins out there, maybe we can bring back the trend of paleness and parasols? We can call ourselves Cullens. I'm all for it.
But if you must get the glow, visit the tanning aisle of your local drug store for options. Let us point you to a lovely Bonne Bell product recommended by our friend Amber from Beauty Blogging Junkie.
Seriously, if you go to tanning beds, stop now. Please?

A few weeks ago with housing approvals at historic highs, business confidence up, resources exports flying and retail sales coasting along at an annualised 6.5% pace, things were all starting to look almost rosy for the Aussie economy.
Inflation looked like it might be picking up, although the RBA appeared to think that this may pass.
And, as we know, house prices had a very strong 2013 in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
The pendulum has swung back a bit the other way, though.
The jobs data has since been crap, and the capital expenditure data today was...even more crap.
Some high profile job cuts are unlikely to help confidence.
Mining investment could drop by quarter or even a third next year, which leaves the rest of the economy quite a lot of heavy lifting to do to fill the gap in the intervening period before resources exports really get going.
Even in the best case scenario interest rates are stuck where they are for months.
If the economy doesn't start to pick up further, the next move could still be down.
The economy is supposed to rebalancing, but it's been a it sluggish to date.
Futures markets are 95% certain that rates will be on hold at 2.50% next Tuesday, with a cheeky 5% chance of a cut priced into interbank cash rate futures.

Why didn't the FAI just drop their ticket prices?
THE tragicomedy that enveloped the attempts to sell the FAI's 10-year premium level tickets for the Aviva Stadium is best summed up by the story of the client who died and miraculously rose again.
He had expressed an interest in taking eight premium level 'Vantage Club' seats, in the second best category, valued at a total of €152,000 for 10 years.
Then, one day, in the offices of ISG -- the third party ticket experts commissioned by the FAI to bring the tickets to the market -- they received a call from someone purporting to be the client's brother, who informed them of the sad news that he had passed away after a sudden accident.
That was the end of that. Or so they thought. In the build-up to Ireland's World Cup play-off showdown with France, the customer in question suddenly came back to life.
A certain number of premium seats for the last couple of Croke Park games were set aside to woo clients that were potential buyers for the 10-year tickets which the FAI need to sell with a view to covering their substantial borrowings towards the renovation of the old Lansdowne Road.
Despite the quirky behaviour, the offer was extended to this prospective buyer. Sadly, the gesture wouldn't lead to a sale although, remarkably, the details of his proposed order remained in the not so magic number of 4,077 when ISG's association wound down last month.
Since the Irish Independent's investigation this week uncovered that -- subtracting existing ticket holders, cancelled orders and incomplete direct debits -- the FAI have made fresh sales for less than 3,000 of the 10,400 premium seats at the Aviva Stadium, the level of feedback has been substantial.
The vast majority have expressed dismay at the manner in which the entire affair has developed, particularly with a view to the FAI's long term future.
Yet there is another point of view which argues that an organisation failing to sell tickets in the midst of a recession is no big deal. The school of thought is understandable. Isn't everyone struggling, after all?
It is a big deal, though. From the outset, the association in question were informed of the economic climate.
They were told again, and again, that the prices were exorbitant
The market research which priced tickets at €12,000 for the cheapest seats and €32,000 for the top end seats was conducted in a different time and, even then, it's difficult to see how it embraced the reality of Irish soccer.
At the cheapest rate, €1,200 a year for an average of six Irish games, plus the FAI Cup final and yet to be confirmed exhibition games hardly constitutes value. And as for the other rates? The obvious doesn't need to be stated.
Especially when, unlike rugby, there is no guarantee about the quality of opposition. The luck of the draw can result in unattractive visitors, similar to the Euro 2012 draw which pitted Ireland with Russia, Slovakia, Macedonia, Armenia and Andorra.
Sales executives operating in the field were met with the immediate response that the cost of tickets was beyond most people's reach. When that was communicated back, high level meetings took place at the beginning of 2009, with respect to the possibility of drawing up a revised pricing structure.
The decision was made to plough ahead with the original prices. Subsequently, the FAI lengthened their arrangement with the banks and prepared to play the long game.
Of course, borrowing was always going to be an element of constructing a stadium. It's the sheer scale of it and the associated interest attached which raises serious concerns.
Targeting the grassroots was trumpeted as the solution. So, the Vantage Club project was taken on the road, with incentives attached.
Some of the stories emanating from the project would be funny if the ramifications weren't so serious for the FAI.
Recently, CEO John Delaney responded to questioning about the level of Vantage Club sales by observing that some journalists were 'obsessing' about the project. There was more to the FAI, he said.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to escape the conclusion that it's the FAI who have been obsessing about it.
Why else would members of staff -- who were hired to perform specific roles in the organisation -- effectively do double jobbing as de-facto salesmen, in addition to the ISG team.
For example, why were Noel Mooney (head of League of Ireland marketing) and Stephen Driver (the FAI's HR director) the key figures in a road-show which took them around clubs in Limerick and Munster with a view to selling tickets.
Mooney, you might remember, was also in Barcelona as part of negotiations with the Catalan giants with a view to organising a friendly in the Aviva Stadium. A messy affair which ended with the La Liga giants going elsewhere and, ironically enough, a League of Ireland club, Limerick FC was the loser.
Also part of those discussions was Padraig Smith who, at that juncture, was the FAI's Compliance Officer, primarily dealing with the governance of League of Ireland clubs.
Spreading the Vantage Club message around the country was a team effort. In tandem, thousands of euro were pumped into print and broadcasting ad drives, primarily based around home internationals. A big push was centred around the games with Georgia and Bulgaria at Croke Park in the early part of last year. The take-up was minimal.
Radio ads yielded some interest, but translating curiosity into something tangible was a lengthy process with no guarantee of a chequered flag at the end of it.
It was this kind of scenario that the sales team encountered when they planned events at notable destinations around the country.
Waterford's Tower Hotel was the first major stop, Delaney's home parish. Sections of the local football and business community were invited, with a few drinks followed by a presentation of the Vantage benefits, with Delaney among the speakers. An enjoyable night for all concerned. But sales? When it came to tracking down those who had expressed an interest, early exuberance was replaced by long term reluctance.
Galway, The Merrick Hotel. More of the same. The roadshow team weren't expecting Delaney to speak at this gig but, to their surprise, he took to the podium. Alas, a lady at the back of the hall, who had availed of a few too many complimentary drinks, decided to vocalise her opposition to the prices while the CEO was speaking. The prices, you see, were designed for people in suits. Not people in tracksuits.
Was the event a success? Well, if it was, you suspect the FAI wouldn't have needed to visit Galway again earlier this year, this time hosted by Salthill Devon in the Ardilaun Hotel.
There were other schemes. A Vantage Club stand at the Punchestown Races, tucked away in the corner. A presence at Top Gear, and Toys 4 Big Boys exhibitions. Sales reps went to away qualifiers in Bari and Sofia to meet Irish fans. One Saturday morning, a team was sent out to Dublin airport to target Manchester United and Liverpool fans setting off for the UK, greeting them in the style of those nice people who spring Ryanair credit cards on unsuspecting passengers.
Entrance into raffles for free tickets provided a database of names and numbers to be cold called. Once more, the trails led to almost nothing.
Not that every initiative was a disaster. An event in Malahide proved a hit with the locals.
For every story like that, however, there's three more glum ones, such as the event for a schoolboy club in the Croke Park Hotel the night before a major international which gave people a place to stay for a night, but not the desire to find a place to sit at the new Lansdowne for the next 10 years.
Add in the cost of advertising to the outlay on the travelling circus, and you have another serious level of expenditure to offset any immediate ticket income.
League of Ireland clubs were asked to gather their sponsors and well-heeled supporters into a room so they could be given a presentation. Many complied. Others reasoned that money was so tight that, in reality, they needed the people in question to keep their disposable income for them.
The pitch from the FAI point of view was that if clubs bought tickets, they could use them as fundraisers by arranging draws of their own. This was in the context of no general admission tickets being available for the rest of the stadium -- outside the premium seats -- because there were so many block-bookers there ready to take up their option. Well, they got that one wrong.
How many clubs are now trying to raffle tickets, when people are aware that match-by-match tickets are freely available? There's a knock on effect right down the ladder.
Sure, if the FAI had chopped their initial prices after six months, there would have been criticism and talk of an embarrassing climbdown. But if the gesture was accompanied by a rallying call, an acknowledgement that times are tough and that these tickets are important for the game's future, it would surely have mustered a positive response.
"The problem," as one source close to the project points out, "is that people who could have afforded to pay at lower prices at the start, can't afford to do it now."
By the time that discounted tickets were sanctioned, the horse had already bolted. Meanwhile, the FAI insisted everything was alright, sticking it to the nothing to see here folks style of fire-fighting which they hold so dear.
One wonders if the tactic will be remembered as Irish football's pride before the fall.

Fans of the Elder Scrolls franchise are more than excited to relive their lives as a Dragonborn in Skyrim remastered. However, Bethesda reveals more surprises along the way.
Bethesda Softworks initially turned down the option to upload mods in the PlayStation 4 version of Skyrim remastered. Bethesda's Pete Hines explained this was the decision that Sony made for the release, which was of course out of their control.
However, according to PlayStation Lifestyle, a series of Tweets clarified the aspects of the PlayStation 4 mod "support."
Hines clarified that the game can only support files that come from within the game and the DLC. This means players cannot create custom-made assets and audio files.
Also read: Elder Scrolls 6 Release Date, Valenwood, Argonia & Gameplay Spoilers!
Hines also clarified this further. Apparently, this means players can still make content that can be used in-game. However, this only applies to the Creation Kit and its results.
An in-game trailer revealed that mods can be accessed in the main menu, like how other games do this.
However, Hines also elaborated that this final version was what was approved by Sony. They had other versions that may have been what players wanted, but they didn't make the cut.
The achievements and trophies that could be earned in Skyrim remastered is the same with the original Skyrim on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Hines also said that trophies are disengaged if saves with mods are loaded.
However, the 900MB mod size has not been confirmed.

Hines also added there will be a new Creation Kit for Skyrim remastered. This means players can create newer and better versions of assets that can be found within the game.
According to Express, the brand new Creation Kit places the entire world and engine of Skyrim remastered at the hands of players. They can create new art assets from people to locations, to weapons from original assets inside the game.
Meanwhile, Bethesda also confirmed the arrival of mods for the PlayStation 4 iteration of Fallout 4. However, Hines added they are still preparing updates for all languages. He added its release may not take long after Skyrim remastered.
Skyrim remastered will have an October 28 release date for the PlayStation 4.

LONDON (ICIS)--Honeywell reported second quarter profits from its performance materials and technologies division of $475m, up 8% year on year and sales of $2.6bn, up 6%, for the same period on the back of higher sales volumes, the US industrial group said on Friday.
Sales also benefited from higher gas processing activities. Honeywell said, however, profits at its chemicals division could have grown at a faster rate had it not been for "continued investments for growth", an "unfavourable" catalysts shipment mix compared to 2013 and "headwinds" in the prices at the Resins & Chemicals segment.
The catalysts business is one of Honeywell's main points of focus for the coming years, and the company announced in April additional capacity to help it fulfil a $2.4bn order backlog for its UOP technologies.
Overall, the US industrial group saw sales in the second quarter of 2014 increase 6% to $10.25bn and improved its operating income margin by 110 basis points to 15.4%. The margin in chemicals increased 30 basis points in the quarter to 18.0%.
The Aerospace division registered flat sales at $2.99bn while the Automation and Control Solutions division managed to increase them by 10% to $3.61bn. Transportation Systems, on the other hand, increased its sales by 8% to $1.02bn.
Earnings per share (EPS) rose 8% to $1.38.
"Our short-cycle businesses, particularly Energy, Safety and Security, and Turbo Technologies, are benefiting from improving end markets, new product introductions, and geographic expansion, while our long-cycle businesses are growing robust backlogs supported by favourable macro trends and strong win rates," said Honeywell's CEO Dave Cote.
"As a result of our first half performance, we are raising the low end of our 2014 proforma EPS guidance by $0.05 with the expectation of improved organic growth and continued margin expansion in the second half of the year," he added.
