Signs Melbourne Signs Sydney Signs Brisbane
Metal letters can be made from mild steel, stainless and aluminium.
Any font and shape can be made into a beautiful looking sign.
- Traditional fonts and fancy fonts
- Customer logos can be made in metal.
- Working from concept or corporate documents
- Metal letters for public furniture, statues and other features
- We can spot affix a thread bolt to the back side of each letter for easy wall fitting. Used for nut/bolt or glue inside the drill hole.
- Metals such as stainless, mild, BA and other
- Front vinalised and front color coated sign letters cut out.
- Stainless and plated metal boat names
- Machine crafted and multi based signage for buildings
Our signs are made direct to public, builders and fitters and how to put up a sign on the wall is easy.
1. We supply you with a layout (drawn to scale) showing the signage positioning.
2. Provide us with a photo of your signage placement and our team can superimpose the new design onto the photo for you to 'preview'.
Super strong and thick, metal letters cut out are made in any fancy font as the customer wants. We can do for building facades and walls. The thread bolt is welded to the backside of the sign so you can bolt into the wall. The bolt on the back of each letter makes it easy to install on a wall and it helps to prevent vandalism
Here the pictures show how you need to include the skeleton of the sign letters cut out when you wish to have the letters polished. Affixing the thread bolt happens last stage. Ideal for trade and DIY signage, corporate branding houses and manufacturing facilities. Signs like this one will last decades on a building.
Another technique is to use a clear Perspex glue system to attach the letters to. The picture here shows a translucent etching Perspex. This will look great as an office wall sign. The lettes after being cut out to the custome font shape are adhered to the perspex using special glue.
Here, one of the girls finished the edges (deburring) of the edges. The color that you can see is applied over the top. This will look fantastic upon the wall of the building. Signs can be made in fancy fonts or shapes. This is a good design tip, the color leaves a border around the metal so that as a sign, it reflects the light.
This one is going to be a really large ship name. The letter
will be spot welded around the edges directly onto the hull.
Then painted using a boat name paint. We supply the letters.
If you want a special coating applied, we would be able to contract that for you or you can DIY ship and boat names in Australia.
Super long bolt threading can be spot welded to the back of a sign letter. The letter will be stuck on the wall and from the inside of brick or stone or slate, a locking nut will be wound tightly. Alternatively, you can also use an epoxy inside the hole you drilled.
Modern slate slatted wall with a stick on signage design. The placement of where to drill the holes is very easy. Hold up your stick on signage and mark in a circular fashion where each tip of the bolt touches the wall. We suggest that you achieve a minimum of 45mm internal hole length. Stone wall letters such as this can be made for golf clubs, real estate parks and new land development. The custom cut out is laser and pin technique. The backside can be raised or fitted snug.
Use a mirror steel to enhance your signage in Australia. The reflective powers of the steel mirror make this sign hard to walk past. Caught on camera, here one of the boys face is shown in reflection as he removes the sticky protective tape from the sign surface. The material is BA
From our metal shop, we can give you back your ideas in a finished product. Decorative names for farm gates and overhanging entrances, building walkway entrances and other cut out metal in chrome or steel or aluminium is affordable. Fonts can be composed and shaping of logos etc. The finished signs can be stick on with many different techniques.
Signs, banners, prints, flexibles, frames and other types of signage are easy and we send all over Australia on one of our many transport accounts.
Metal letters for outdoor signs
Plus, we can make the signage before payment needed. *Pay is needed before product delivery.
All images and logos may be held by their respective owners. SignageLetters is operated in Australia.

For my birthday, my favorite aunt sent me a package full of fun surprises including sewing supplies!
The fabric on the left will be perfect for my rainbow project:
I was most excited about these awesome pins:
I previously owned no decorative pins, and I had no idea they came in so many cute shapes! You can see them modeled on my new pin cushion!

While sitting in a breakfast meeting on disrupting the Public Schools this am it felt very appropriate that we were given an opportunity to reap the benefit of previously successful disruption.
My friend Eliza was the victim of a broken parken meter and a consequent ticket during the meeting. We opened the SeeClickFix iPhone app and, for the first time, when I reported the broken parking meter, a request was created within the City's work order system. (As of last week we completed the first roll out of a connection between SeeClickFix and the city's Citiworks work order system.)
This was truly an exciting moment for me as it symbolically marks the success of a social mission to make our own government more open, accountable and efficient while encouraging citizens to be more engaged in a productive way. Imagine an unendorsed, unfunded, undesired and unrequested service not only sending the existing service (WebQA) into obscurity but replacing it in its entirely. All while carrying the weight of a cultural shift in how we as citizens interact with each other and our government. By a democratic process the citizens of New Haven voted for open and accessible government through the tools they chose to use to connect with government. And through effective leadership the City of New Haven chose to listen and adapt to the voices of their citizens.
Once we could only have access to a blackbox of communication by leaving a voicemail or filling out a lengthy form with too many personal questions when we wanted to report a broken parking meter. Now we can publicly document our broken parking meter with a photo and a GPS location provided by our mobile phone and it will integrate directly with the city's existing business process.
We have noted the benefits of the simple shift over and over but its worth reiterating here on the success of this implementation:
1) A positive feedback loop for the citizen who has chosen to speak up. One less opportunity to feel trapped and frustrated with the governing institution and one less excuse to become apathetic.
2) An opportunity for the government to effectively harness the power of the crowd and start to get a complete bug report on the municipal fabric of the city.
3) A network effect of engagement that scales exponentially as the conversations and reports that spin out of an open system of government bounce off of each other and spin up greater participation.
Personally seeing the effect of SeeClickFix on the how someone reports a parking meter at a time when we are thinking about how to "Fix" the public schools gives me great confidence that a citizen driven disruption of the Public Schools is not only needed but will also be effective.
Stay Tuned....

Nutrition vs Dieting!!!!
People often confuse "dieting" with nutrition. Your body needs to have nutrients replaced, whether through foods being eaten or supplements. Do you remember what you learned in elementary school about the four major food groups? As adult, eating balanced meals from these groups still applies. It is important to remove the "junk food" from your diet and stick with healthy foods. If you do not like certain things such as fruits or vegetables, be sure you are taking a supplement to get the nutrients needed. Another consideration is if you are a vegetarian. There are certain benefits taken from meat such as iron and B-12 that you should consider taking a supplement for in exchange for the meat.

This Green Man has a very different feeling—regal, alien, royal, a keeper of mysteries. I think he is somehow related to Khidr, the Green Man of the Desert…. There is the striking visual contrast of metallic/iridescent "bark" and the matt-toned leaves that sprout all over his body. He is tall and very thin; his head is narrow. Some say he resembles an Ent from Middle Earth. His mouth is covered with leaves, indicating that he has secrets he cannot reveal. Leaves form his ears and the top of his head, which resembles a crown, and leaves cascade down his wrists, covering his hands, and down his ankles, covering his feet.

Second guessing myself today as I found a juvenile northern in my minnow trap.
I have alot of respect for this species,before I had kids and got married used to catch alot of them in the small feeder creeks where I targeted smallmouth. Always referred to them as waterwolfs cause thats what they reminded me of.
Anyway I like to trap my own minnows,especially if I can use minnows that came from the creek thats feeds the body of water I'm fishing.
My question is. What do you use for bait if you trap minnows?
For years I've used the leftover ends of the breadloaf my kids wont eat,roll em' up in a ball and let em' sit for couple days in the sun.
Always worked in the past but in these drought conditions I'm having trouble even finding water deep enough to sink my trap.
I guess on the plus side, next spring when the waters cold I'll have a new place right out my back door to target the waterwolves I havent fought for way too long.
It never fails to amaze me how and when mother nature surprises me,You could literally jump across this "ditch",but if I caught a 4" northern in my trap, I know dang well momma was there this spring laying her eggs.

Hi! My name is Martin Schneider, I'm a 22 year old freelance illustrator, living, working and studying in Cologne, Germany.
In my illustrations I mostly focus on characters, portraits and caricatures, always trying to improve and acquire new skills! My work has been published in various magazines like Adobe Create, Lürzer's Archive, the 200 Best Illustrators worldwide 2016/17 and Commag Magazin. In 2015 Adobe selected me as one of the 25 most creative visual artists under the age of 25. As part of the project I created two artworks to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Photoshop. Later in 2015 I was invited to attend Adobe MAX in Los Angeles, along with 5 other PS25Under25-artists.
I'm currently studying Integrated Design at KISD Köln International School of Design, focusing on animation, product and interactive design. Besides that I'm working on various exhibitions coming up in the next months and at the same time trying to slowly get into the gaming industry.
I'm available for freelance work, so please feel free to contact me! I'm always excited to work on new projects!

The new Barneys beauty floor—all 9,000 sparkling square feet of it—is truly a sight to behold. So, if you gents find yourselves overwhelmed by the veritable bounty of products within The Foundation's walls, we could hardly blame you. To help cull through the sea of creams, pots, powders, and scents, we've called on six knowledgable guys from our office to tell us about the stars of their grooming routines.
"I have very few must-haves as part of my daily regimen, but apart from a light scent, I can't head out the door without Kiehl's Facial Fuel." -Tom Kalenderian
* * *
"My grooming routine includes a spritz of a light fragrance, which enhances character and doesn't overpower it. Patchouli Patch from L'Artisan Parfumeur is my defining scent of the season." -Jay Bell
* * *
"I mix this Tatcha dry powder with a little water in the shower and it brings a fresh, clean glow to my skin. If I'm shaving, I create a paste using less water and get a nice exfoliating effect." -Jose Parron
* * *
"My good-to-go grooming and skincare routine is quite simple. I shave every four or five days and cleanse my face daily with La Mer foaming cleanser, followed by La Mer lotion. I often supplement this with Clé de Peau foaming cleanser, which I follow with emulsion moisturizer."
-Faustin Messan
* * *
"The VitaMan Matt Mudd is a great product that works no matter what your hair length is. It also washes out extremely easily, which helps during the hot summer months. The Ultimate Man exfoliating soap is perfect for getting squeaky clean after nine-hour plane trips or hot subway rides." -John Totolis

"I use all of Aesop's products. The citrus aromas are so intoxicating I want to eat them. I'm gaga for the petitgrain hydrating body gel."

TAC Cup Scouting Notes – Round 5
Round 5 of the TAC Cup, Ed was on hand over the weekend to take a look at Eastern take on Greater Western Victoria and Dandenong put together a solid win against Calder. Who stood out for him over the weekend?
Eastern Vs GWV Rebels Round 5
Eastern 10 9 69
GWV Rebels 18 14 122
Best Players: Tom North, Harrison Nolan, Josiah Duncan, Ben Cardamone, Cody Hirst, Kieran Urquhart
Goal Scorers: Josiah Duncan 4, Cody Hirst 2, Jaidyn Stephenson, Tom North, Shaun Lovell, Kaleb Van Beek
GWV Rebels
Best Players: Jordan Johnston, Callan Wellings, Naish McRoberts, Matty Lloyd, Tom Berry, Trent Reed
Goal Scorers: Jordan Johnston 6, Callan Wellings 4, Charlie Wilson 3, Naish McRoberts 2, Aaron Shepherd 2, Cooper Henson
Tom North
North was a clearance machine and a clear best on ground for Eastern. North was huge in the clearances winning a lot of hard and contested footy and working hard even on the outside to win as much of the ball as he could. North was an attacking threat kicking an early goal from 50m out and working hard forward of centre to get dangerous. North's kicking was shaky at times but plenty of his possessions were under pressure with a lack of help again in the midfield.
Harrison Nolan
Nolan again was a pillar in defence winning plenty of intercept and contested marks and providing good long rebound with his kicking. Nolan later in the game was moved into the midfield where he used his bigger body to crash packs and lay strong tackles. Nolan loves to use his body to influence a contest and that was very evident on Saturday. Nolan is quickly becoming one of the most solid key defenders in this years draft.
Jaidyn Stephenson
Delivery inside 50 was below the norm for Stephenson, who struggled to get into the game. Stephenson worked his hardest to try and make the most of Eastern's forward 50 entries, he pressured hard and always kept the Rebels defenders on their toes. Stephenson was later used in the midfield and in defence to get his hands on the ball more but he lacked impact and he really did need more support from his teammates.
Josiah Duncan
Duncan was a shining light for Eastern providing a spark up forward. Similar to Stephenson he has a nice leap and clean hands overhead and funny enough has a very similar body shape to Stephenson. Duncan looked threatening every time the footy got near him and he was classy with ball in hand being able to hit passes and kick goals from challenging positions. With this performance he is on to keep a close eye on through the season, because he may just become a draft bolter with more performances like this.
GWV Rebels
Jordan Johnston
Johnston proved to be a handful for the Eastern defenders kicking six goals with four coming in the 3rd quarter. Without a single goal in the 1st half he still provided a few highlights with some nice leaps and good ball use at half forward. In the 3rd quarter he was too much for Eastern with his speed on the lead, clean hands and leap making him impossible to stop and his accuracy from set shots was brilliant. A player early in the year destined for big things hasn't shown his full potential but on Saturday that potential was realised and now Johnston will be firmly back in recruiters thinking.
Callan Wellings
After missing out last year, Wellings has taken his 2nd chance with both hands today kicking 4 goals from the midfield proving he shouldn't be overlooked again this year. Wellings was all class today with his work in the stoppages and cool head under pressure a highlight. Wellings' goal in the first quarter coming from a stoppage was just a taste of his class in that area he was able to win some classy touches, but also laid 14 tackles in a complete midfielders performance.
Matty Lloyd
Lloyd isn't eligible until next years draft but he looks a player to watch with his classy work at half back on show again on Saturday. Lloyd was super composed with ball in hand and very efficient by hand and foot, Lloyd just doesn't panic when in possession and will generally put his teammates in a better position. Lloyd seems to have natural leadership and oozes class and he is building nicely towards his draft year next year.
Tom Berry
Berry worked tirelessly in the midfield, constantly putting his body on the line and working the ball forward for the Rebels. The brother of new Brisbane Lions recruit Jarrod, Tom isn't eligible until next years draft and is another to look out for. His kicking was hit and miss at times but his attack on the ball and courage couldn't be faulted and he was a key cog in the Rebels midfield on Saturday.

There are better indicators to telling how the new guy in town's going to fare besides how he looks in the new uniform. It's still all a matter of fit, though. Players have skills and teams have schemes. Sometimes the two don't mix as well as everyone thought they would on media day. With training camp here, let's take a look at some players who may have a harder than expected time adjusting to their new surroundings.
*** *** ***
5. ANDRE IGUODALA, Denver
The reason Iguodala finds himself on this list is more of a situational struggle than any fault of Iggy himself. What he brings to the table is pretty well defined at this point. He's an elite perimeter defender, a plus rebounder and scorer, and one of the game's most capable passers when used in a point forward capacity. These advantages lead into his downfall, which is that his skillset clearly puts him at a sort of Pippen-level second option on a championship team, or a super third-wheel type player in a "big three" scheme.
Watching Iggy play for Team USA in the World Championships last year, and again this year in the Olympics, was a beautiful experience. He plays incredible team basketball. I always hoped that when he moved on from Philadelphia, he'd end up somewhere alongside a dominant scoring option.
Instead he ended up in Denver, a place where his skillset is a definite upgrade, yet also already somewhat redundant. It's worth remembering that while Iguodala is considered a large upgrade at the wing position for Denver, he may end up taking more off the table and interrupting the Nuggets offensive flow. He improved his three-point shooting markedly last year and still only clocked in at around 39 percent from beyond the arc, his career best. Iguodala could start at shooting guard, and with Kenneth Faried likely starting at power forward, that leaves only Ty Lawson and Danilo Gallinari as legitimate three-point threats.
He will fit right in with the running style that has always been present in Denver, shooting 79 percent in fast-break situations in which he is not handling the ball. Assuming the Nuggets keep their pace, which was the second-highest in the entire league last year, he should be able to contribute efficiently on offense. The problem is that he will contribute in a vastly different way than Arron Afflalo, helping the team on defense and in transition but eliminating the three-point shot that marks Denver's half-court offense.
While the Nuggets get better with the addition of Iggy, they don't improve enough to take the leap into the title discussion. Because of this, Iguodala's season will be unfairly considered a disappointment. He won't meet the expectations, so his efforts this year will be considered a struggle. His actual transition might go smoothly, but it will be severely overshadowed.

Parts of Aurangabad remain shut to protest riot accused Lachchu Pahelwan's arrest
It was suspected that Lachchu Pahelwan had taken money from some people to orchestrate rioting and arson so as to vacate some building where shops and kiosks are located, a police official had said.
Published: 18th May 2018 12:07 AM | Last Updated: 18th May 2018 12:07 AM | A+A A-
AURANGABAD: Residents of few localities in riot-hit Aurangabad in Maharashtra today observed a bandh to protest arrest of one Laxminarayan Bakharia alias Lachchu Pahelwan, the main accused in the case, yesterday.
A squad of the special investigation team (SIT) had arrested Bakharia on the charges of arson and rioting late last night.
It was suspected that Bakharia had taken money from some people to orchestrate rioting and arson so as to vacate some building where shops and kiosks are located, a police official had said.
Shops and other commercial establishments in Dhawani mohalla, Rajabazar, and parts of Gulmandi remained shut till this afternoon in protest.
The bandh passed off peacefully, police said.

Police have so far arrested over 50 persons, including two corporators of the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation-- -Rajendra Janjal of Shiv Sena and Feroz Khan of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM).
A video had gone viral on Saturday, which purportedly showed Janjal being part of the mob that was torching vehicles and damaging public property in Raja Bazaar area, a police official had said.
Khan had allegedly instigated the mob for violence in which Assistant Commissioner of Police Govardhan Kolekar was injured.

Powder River BasinLocation: Wyoming
Following its success in the San Juan Basin CBM development, Palo leased approximately 20,000 acres in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. Palo drilled approximately 60 wells in the Northeast Spotted Horse Project, Campbell County, WY. This project was sold to StormCat Energy (USA) Corporation, a publicly traded Canadian company, and StormCat has drilled an additional 60+ wells in the field. Palo retained an interest in this shallow coalbed methane field. Palo and its partner, SG Interests of Houston, TX, assembled the Pumpkin Creek Prospect containing over 10,000 acres of leases in the Big George CBM play in Johnson County, Wyoming. This project was acquired by Williams Production and Lance Oil & Gas Company. Approximately 100 very successful CBM wells have been drilled on the Pumpkin Creek Prospect to date, and Palo retained an interest in this project.

As one of the largest countries in the world, America stands out in terms of land mass, varied terrain and its number of national parks. There are 59 national parks in the United States, spread across twenty-seven states and two American territories. The Wrangel-St. Elias national park alone is larger than the nine smallest states in the country individually.
All of these parks total to almost 52 million acres. Hundreds of miles of hiking trails exist entirely within these national parks. Out of all the trails, there are a couple that really stand out as the best. They have some degree of challenge, are full of breathtaking scenery and leave you with something you will remember for the rest of your life.
The Grinnell Glacier Trail
Many people live their entire lives without ever seeing a glacier in person. Hiking Grinnell Glacier trail in Montana's Glacier National Park will give you a chance to see quite a few of them up close. It is a tough hike with a round trip length of 7.6 miles, but it is worth every step.
You may even add some difficulty to the hike by hiking around the large Swiftcurrent Lake and Josephine Lake instead of taking the available shuttle boats. Hiking around these lakes adds a few extra miles to the round trip length.
The trail passes through a variety of terrain. You will hike through wooded areas, around lakes, on a paved trail, near waterfalls and on a boardwalk above a marsh. Most of the way through the hike, you will steadily increase your altitude. In total, you gain over 1800 feet of elevation on the way to the destination, which is the beautiful Grinnell Glacier.
The Grinnell Glacier spans a total of 152 acres. If you are feeling adventurous, you may be able to hike onto the glacier itself. Rangers led groups onto the glacier in the past, but no longer do so. You are still allowed to hike onto the glacier without the assistance of a ranger, but it can be dangerous.
The Angels Landing Trail
One of the most popular and breathtaking trails in any U.S. national park is the Angels Landing trail located in the Zion National Park in Utah. The Angels Landing Trail makes up the lower section of the West Rim Trail, which is about 16 miles along the rims of the Zion Canyon.
The Angels Landing section is only about 2.5 miles from start to destination. By the end of the trail at the Angels Landing viewpoint, you will have gained 1,500 feet in elevation.
Many sections of incline on the rims of the canyon are exposed on one side or the other. You can view down to the bottom of the canyon and see all of the scenery from an unbelievable angle. It is not recommended for those who are afraid of heights. Though, there are plenty of rails and chains there to help you stay safe.
The Angels Landing viewpoint is near the center of the canyon area. It is slightly lower in elevation than some of the rims, but the view is still spectacular. You will have a full 360-degree view of most of Zion Canyon. Once you are done with Angels Landing you simply hike back the way you came. The hike back down the rims is much easier.
If you want a bigger challenge and a higher viewpoint, then you could choose to continue hiking further up the West Rim trail. The trail ends at Lava Point, the highest peak in the canyon. Be prepared because it is a long trip and usually takes two days.
Honorable Mentions
A few other trails that are fairly popular and worth hiking are the Upper Geyser Basin trail in Yellowstone National Park, the Harding Icefield trail in Kenai Fjords National Park and the Greenstone Ridge trail in Isle Royale National Park, Michigan.
The Grinnell Glacier Trail and the Angels Landing Trail are two of the best trails in the U.S. national park system. They are very different from each other and both offer unique scenery that is hard to find anywhere else in the country. If you are an avid hiker looking for a new trail, then they deserve your attention.

Article: Shiloh Revisited (1885 article by Buell in "Battles & Leaders")
Don Carlos Buell, named for an uncle, was born on 23 March 1818 near Marietta, Ohio. His father was a prosperous farmer and a Catholic, and he died in 1823 in a cholera epidemis. In 1826 Don Carlos was sent to live with an uncle, a prominent farmer and merchant, in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Buell worked on the farm, but was also given a solid education in a local private school where he excelled in mathematics and horsemanship. His prosperous uncle procured for him admission to West Point where he spent 4 difficult years, coming very close several times to being expelled for excessive demerits, although his academic work was generally at a high level. Buell graduated from West Point in 1841 and was a company officer of infantry in the Seminole War of 1841-42 during which he demonstrated his remarkable administrative abilities and a marked proclivity for enforcing discipline. During the Mexican War he fought under Taylor and Scott, and was brevetted for bravery 3 times. He was described as being stern in expression, formal in manner, and stocky in physique. Sometimes he displayed his arm and upper-body strength by clasping his wife about the waist, holding her off the floor straight out before him, and then lifting her to sit on a mantle. After the Mexican War Buell spent the next thirteen years in the adjutant general's office and was a lieutenant colonel working as an adjutant of the Department of the Pacific when the Civil War broke out. Buell was appointed lieutenant colonel, then brigadier general of volunteers on 17 May 1861, and major general of volunteers on 22 March 1862.
Buell aided McClellan in organizing the Army of the Potomac and was sent, in November 1861, to Kentucky to succeed Sherman in command after the latter had buckled under the responsitility and requested of McClellan that he be relieved. There Buell organized the Army of the Ohio which formed the basis of the future Army of the Cumberland - the most highly trained, successful, and modern army on either side in the Civil War. He was expected to liberate East Tennessee at the same time that he protect Louisville and take Nashville. He opted for Nashville and occupied it unopposed on 25 Feb. 1862, believing that he didn't have the forces necessary for control of all of Tennessee and that Nashville was militarily more important.
In the spring of 1862 he pursued the retiring Confederates under General Sidney Johnston toward Mississippi. Buell then saved Grant at the battle of Shiloh, arriving with 30,000 fresh troops which turned the tide the second day of the battle. In doing so he embarrassed Grant and thus incurred Grant's hostility.* Afterward Buell served under General Henry W. Halleck in the Union advance on Corinth, after which he was sent to capture Chattanooga. At the same time he was burdened with the repair and protection of hundreds of miles of railroad while being constantly harassed by Confederate Cavalry. He resisted interference from politicians and incurred the emnity of Governors Morton of Indiana and Andrew Johnson of Tennessee who wanted control of their states' volunteer forces. Said to be a friend of McClellan, he certainly was a Democrat, favoring gradual emancipation with compensation to the slave owners. This brought him in conflict with an increasingly radical Republican adminstration. He believed in war by maneuver and can be called a "soft war" commander in a conflict which steadily hardened, although the merits of the "hard war" school are debatable. Buell himself stated that "The object is not to fight great battles, and storm impregnable fortifications, but by demonstrations and maneuvering to prevent the enemy from concentrating his scattered forces." He further stated that "the commander merits condemnation who, from ambition or ignorance or a weak submission to the dictation of popular clamor and without necessity or profit, has squandered the lives of his soldiers."
Although some other military experts were able to appreciate the forward steps being taken and the low casualties, the northern public and politicians were unable to understand or admit the successes of Buell's philosophy. He is also often characterized as having been cold and aloof and lacking in the common touch needed to motivate volunteer soldiers. There was never any serious doubt about Buell's loyalty to the Union, but the fact that he was a former slave owner himself (he had inherited eight slaves when he married the widow of a fellow officer in 1851) left him open to charges that he was a Southern sympathizer. Buell did not help his cause when he strictly enforced a policy of noninterference with Southern civilians while campaigning in Alabama and Tennessee in mid-1862. The situation reached a head in May 1862, when Colonel John Basil Turchin permitted his soldiers to pillage the town of Athens, Ala., after it was rumored that Athens citizens had helped Confederate guerrillas derail a Union supply train. The subsequent destruction infuriated Buell, whose guiding tenet had always been iron discipline and gentlemanly comportment. He brought charges against Turchin of neglect of duty, conduct unbecoming an officer and disobedience of orders. Turchin was convicted of the most serious charges and sentenced to be dismissed from the Army. However, Turchin was reinstated by the War Department and promoted to brigadier general.
Lincoln eventually gave in to the political pressure and ordered Thomas to replace Buell on 30 September 30, 1862. Amazingly, Thomas refused the command, and Lincoln suspended the order. This took place during the contest for position between Buell and Bragg in Kentucky as Bragg was trying to threaten Louisville and establish a Confederate state government at Frankfort. Thomas stated that it was improper to suspend a commander before imminent battle, but more probably he had no desire to be directly exposed at that time to politically motivated attacks. Meanwhile the exhortations from the administration continued unabated, as the following message to Buell from Halleck of 23 Oct. 1862 demonstrates: "It is the wish of the Government that your army proceed to and occupy East Tennessee with all possible dispatch. It leaves to you the selection of the roads upon which to move to that object; but it urges that this selection be so made as to cover Nashville and at the same time prevent the enemy's return into Kentucky. To now withdraw your army to Nashville would have a most disastrous effect upon the country, already wearied with so many delays in our operations....Neither the Government nor the country can endure these repeated delays. Both require a prompt and immediate movement toward the accomplishment of the great object in view--the holding of East Tennessee."
The long period of maneuvering ended in the bloody but indecisive Battle of Perryville, precipitated by a minor engagement over sources of then scarce water. Only parts of both armies were engaged due to breakdowns in command and communications on both sides. The result nevertheless pushed Bragg back into Tennessee and definitively brought Kentucky under Union control. The alleged tardiness of Buell's pursuit and his objections to an unrealistic plan of campaign ordered by the Washington authorities brought about his replacement by Rosecrans. Note that almost no post-battle pursuit on either side during the Civil War was successful. The complaints made against him were investigated by a military court of inquiry in 1862-63, but the jury could agree only on a mild censure for errors during the battle. This verdict did not satisfy Halleck and the government prosecutor, and the inconclusive result was not published. Nevertheless, Buell was thereafter sidelined and not again offered significant duty.
General William Farrar "Baldy" Smith, one of the Union's most respected generals, described Buell in his unpublished memoirs as "a capital soldier and a student in his profession. He fought a battle with courage, coolness, and intelligence, saving us from utter rout at Shiloh, into which false position Halleck's ambition and Grant's density had begotten us."
After waiting in Indianapolis a year for orders, Buell resigned his volunteer commission in May 1864 and his regular commission in June 1864. After the war he settled in Kentucky, where he engaged in coal mining and became president of the Green River Iron Company, and in the period 1885-89 he was a government pension agent. He died on 19 November 1898 at his home near Paradise, Kentucky, and was buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri.
*Grant wrote the following in his "Personal Memoirs": "General Buell was a brave, intelligent officer...When I came into command of the army in 1864, I requested the Secretary of War to restore Buell to duty." Grant didn't request very strenuously because nothing came of his "request". In the following quote from the "Personal Memoirs" you see the real Grant: "I have no doubt that this sight [of the panic at the rear of the Union front at Shiloh] impressed General Buell with the idea that a line of retreat would be a good thing just then." Note the aspersion! Grant's Memoirs are full of subtle and not so subtle attacks like this.
The papers of Don Carlos Buell are the property of the Filson Club in Lexington, Ky. Their editor, James T. Kirkwood, resident Historian at Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc., 143 Walton Avenue, Lexington, Ky 40508, makes the following assessment of Buell:
I agree that Buell was/is an under-rated general.
leadership during the Shiloh crisis was top notch, and he saved U.S.
from certain destruction during that battle. Buell's single largest
to the war was U.S. Grant, whose career certainly would've ended on the
banks of the Tennessee River on that day in April.
Cataloging General Buell's papers was one of the most professional pleasing projects of my career. I did come away with an assessment of Buell upon completion of the project: he was as divided as the Union. Buell firmly believed that the Union should stand, and he was loyal to the principles of the United States and opposed to slavery. However, I believe he viewed Southern secession as a perfectly legal move on the part of the Confederate states. I even believe that he viewed their action as a purging of the nation's problems. In other words, good riddance!
I believe it was from this subconscious attitude that the charge of disloyalty sprang. Buell was never disloyal. NEVER!

This is an amazing feat.
A group at ETH-Zurich and Sherbrooke, Canada, managed to show how quantum vacuum fluctuation can produce a Lamb shift type effect in a many-body system that is a superconducting electronic circuit[1]!
Abstract: Quantum theory predicts that empty space is not truly empty. Even in the absence of any particles or radiation, in pure vacuum, virtual particles are constantly created and annihilated. In an electromagnetic field, the presence of virtual photons manifests itself as a small renormalization of the energy of a quantum system, known as the Lamb shift. We present an experimental observation of the Lamb shift in a solid-state system. The strong dispersive coupling of a superconducting electronic circuit acting as a quantum bit (qubit) to the vacuum field in a transmission-line resonator leads to measurable Lamb shifts of up to 1.4% of the qubit transition frequency. The qubit is also observed to couple more strongly to the vacuum field than to a single photon inside the cavity, an effect that is explained by taking into account the limited anharmonicity of the higher excited qubit states.
Again, an amazing accomplishment. Note also that, as with the Schrodinger Cat-type experiment, this work also use superconducting system to be able to demonstrate the long-range coherence that is required in such an experiment. As Carver Mead has said, a superconductor is the clearest manifestation of quantum effects at the macroscopic scale. That's why it is typically used in these studies.

Authors: Jeff R. Weyers and Camie Condon
The Battle for Hearts and Minds on Social Media
Starting in November of 2013 the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS), a terrorist organization currently operating out of Syria, began a massive social media campaign in an attempt to gain sympathy, support and recruit members. iBrabo has been tracking the development and propagation of ISIS's content on social media and as a result has identified a number of groups and individuals supporting the organization and others at risk of recruitment to the organization.
At the start of this surge several of the ISIS pages seemed to fly under the radar continuing to operate on Facebook spreading their propaganda. In late November Facebook, no doubt aided by law enforcement, began a strong effort to limit the access of ISIS. By some accounts this has been a cyber-war of persistence between Facebook and groups like Bilad al Shaam who has rebuilt their page 45 times and "We are all ISIS" who has rebuilt their Facebook page 38 times (including as recently as April 1st 2014). Many of these pages now maintain sister sites in preparation for their removal linked to the original site.
Other pages like the Islamic Stat of Iraq and Ash-Sham Media Hub and The Victorious Party in the Land of Ash-Sham appear to have maintained their presence despite their obvious links to ISIS. In addition to its account on facebook, the ISIS hub twitter account also continues to tweet out the progress of ISIS in Syria.
Media Men in the Advertising of Terror
On November 29, 2013, an individual believed to be a former French resident named James Rebeiy started a Facebook page entitled, "The Islamic State of Iraq & Sham" with the following facebook address: https://www.facebook.com/groups/228051280704039/ (Last Captured 10 Nov 2013). On the 4th of December 2013, Rebeiy altered the name on his personal facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/james.rebeiy) to Abu Qatada (Almuhajer). The name Abu Qatada is often affiliated with a Jordanian man who has been accused in England, not only of providing a "religious justification for acts of violence and terror", but also of being a "significant international terrorist, with extensive extremist contacts", engaging "in conduct which facilitates and give[s] encouragement to the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism", and "raising funds for terrorist groups". It is very likely that REBEIY has used this name in title only.
On his facebook REBEIY identifies his hometown as being: Paris, France and indicates having attended a highschool in Tours, France. His profiles last updated location indicated that he was in Istanbul, Turkey. Much of material Rebeiy posted included what appeared to be original ISIS content not previously seen on other ISIS sites. The nature of this content has an Inspire magazine style and structure in its design and quality which appears to be a trend in the extremist material being generated by ISIS. The content is predominantly being created in English and targeting western audiences (below). Both James Rebeiy's site and his ISIS page have since been torn down. While his pictures can be seen in various ISIS social media forums, it is unknown if he will take on a reputation for media savvy like that of Inspire Magazine author Samir Khan. Based on the initial observations made of Rebeiy it appears highly likely that he is providing material support to ISIS through his online contributions, including their recruiting and media campaign.
The Path Forward in the fight against Cyber Extremism
As terrorist groups like ISIS and Jabhat al Nusra (JN) continue to utilize social media to their advantage there will be a growing onus on social media companies and law enforcement to have advanced strategies for eliminating their content. In the past terrorist organizations relied upon their own websites but have quickly found it expensive and unproductive to keep them operational against government efforts to crush them. In contrast as has been noted with "We are all ISIS" and Bilad al Shaam they can literally recreate their pages on social media daily, in little time and at zero cost on systems that are designed for open expression and networking. Perhaps more concerning is that there are 100's to 1000's of individuals that rejoin these sites daily as well. This will require social media companies to rethink how they eliminate terrorist sites including the potential for automated identification tools for emerging concerns. No doubt this cyber war is far from over in a battle where vigilance and indeed technology itself may be our best weapon against our enemy. As illustrated below their understanding of the media battlefields and how to use them are quite clear.

Long Mantles and Short Coats: Charlemagne and Roland in the Window at Chartres, a slide lecture on the Charlemagne window at the cathedral of Chartres in France presented by Dr. Mary Jane Schenck, University of Tampa.
Studies of the Charlemagne window at Chartres have accepted that the iconography is based on three Latin texts that retell important episodes in the Emperor's life. Although The Song of Roland is not considered a textual source, Roland has been identified in so many panels in the window that he seems to eclipse Charlemagne. Only the intense modern interest in the epic explains the distortion, not iconographic evidence. This lecture will argue that the figure with the long red mantle in four contested panels is Charlemagne, whereas Roland, who makes few appearances, is clothed in a short coat of mail. The identification of the Christian warrior in three of these panels has been debated, but the mounted single combat (#16), is so well known as Roland that it is an icon for his legend. The traditional wisdom is overturned through a careful comparison of costumes, color, and helmet style. The lecture will also introduce the idea that the vernacular, not Latin version of the Pseudo-Turpin Chronicle is a source. This new reading repositions Charlemagne as the focal point of the window and offers insights into individual panels, especially the famous rondel with Roland, Durendal, the oliphant, and a surprise enemy.

Visit by Samuel Sidibe, Director of the Museum National de Mali
Roundtable: The Future of Mud: a Mason's Story, (Premiere showing), Architecture, Masons, and Modernity in Djenne, Mali: Questions raised by a film blending "Truth" and "Fiction."
Co-Chairs: Samuel Sidibé, Musée National du Mali, Trevor Marchand, SOAS, and Susan Vogel, Columbia University.
The roundtable centers upon a new film, The Future of Mud: A Mason's Story (53 minutes, co-produced by the panel chairs) on the state of architecture in Djenne now. The documentary presents issues of changing aspirations, new affluence, Djenne's connection to a global world, and the future of the mason's craft. It is firmly grounded in co-writer and co-producer Trevor Marchand's long research in Djenne. The film, however, takes an unorthodox approach, casting individuals in roles – a mason, his assistant, and his family – and using staged scenes to tell a fictional narrative. We filmed our characters in their daily activities and then intercut the staged scenes seamlessly with the observational documentary footage and interviews. The technique of blending fact and fiction in the service of "truth" raises a number of compelling issues.
The roundtable has three parts: first, each participant will briefly introduce a question that they will be discussing – either concerning the film's unusual documentary approach or the subject of masons and architectural change. Second we will have a screening of the film. In the final hour, each panelist will elaborate on the question he/she raised. Discussion with the audience.

Psychoanalysis Therapy
This website previously belonged to a journal magazine called PSIKEBA which used to publish online journals which related to psychoanalysis therapy in the influence of people's lives in Argentina. By the time that they ceased publication, they had published about 12 or so publication.
The editorial board comprised of several psychologist experts from various universities across South America and Europe and hence they always published awesome articles about psychoanalysis and the impact of the technique in providing remedies to peoples problems. Each publication and a specific theme in which they tackled the various elements that influence the behavior of people and how it could be addressed.
What is Psychoanalysis?
In order for us to fully understand the meaning of psychoanalysis and the impact that it has on humans we first need to know how the human brain works in our lives and how we relate to the various situations in life. How does our past impact our present and future?
Our lives are usually shaped by our consciousness as well as our unconsciousness. Deep inside us, are hidden dynamics of fear, intentions, ambitions, passions, hopes, confusions, and distortions which determine our actions and shape our lives. These dynamics are mostly harbored in the unconscious part of our brains and help us foster the relationships that we have with other people as well as our attitudes towards work. For instance, if we set our brains to accomplish a certain objective and while it is underway we fail to successfully complete it because of some hindrance forces, there the brain will create a sort or dissonance which may force us to look at why we failed to complete the project from time to time.
Our brain will keep us on check and we may find ourselves questioning our capability to have achieve the said objective(s). The same happens in situations whereby we have some bad experiences, mostly when we are at a tender age and can't handle them; although at times even adults usually experience some difficult situations in which some of the victims of such circumstances fail to tackle them.
Such situations eventually have a great influence in the mind of one and can easily affect the present actions and activities of the person. In cases where we have had bad experiences when we were young, then it is vital for us to suppress those experiences if at all we are going to successfully sail through towards achieving our ambitions and accomplishing our targets.
Psychoanalysis helps us in mitigating those bad influencers which may limit the manner in which we operate at present or in the future. By definition, psychoanalysis is a type of psychological therapy which helps in healing mental disorders as well as other mitigating other distracters of the mind by investigating how the conscious and subconscious elements of the human brain operate.
After the investigations, the psychoanalyst makes a conclusion on which bad elements of the subconscious mind needs to be suppressed such as fear or past conflicts, so that the good elements of the conscious mind can be given free space to help one fully achieve one's potential. There are various ways in which the bad influencers can be mitigated such as through the interpretation of dreams or using other techniques similar to normal psychological sessions or hypnosis.
What sets psychoanalysis apart is the fact that the therapy involved may take several years as the therapists' works on suppressing the bad elements of the subconscious mind which never happens in a matter of weeks but may take years. This is not true for other psycho therapy session which can only take few weeks or months.
I've decided to rebuild this site ad since I believe that the potential of human beings can be efficiently achieved if the bad elements are mitigated, I decided to retain the theme of psychoanalysis as was previous featured on this site, but will be seeking to all more content which touches on other methods used clinical in this form of therapy. There are few interesting articles that I have already published and they can be accessed by clicking thorough various topics below. I will also be sharing my own journey in analysis in days to come.
I have come across an assortment of interesting people over the years in my work as a psycho therapy specialist. My work in psychoanalysis has entailed plenty of interesting people who have been looking for ways to learn more about themselves and what is causing them to deal with all sorts of commonplace and difficult mental problems. It's amazing to see how my work has meant so much to all these people who need it. Like psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders, such as social phobia and other forms of therapy, weight loss, over weight and obesity, as well as those suffering from breast cancer and lung cancer.
Interesting Thoughts About Weight Loss
Part of my therapy has involved working with weight loss patients. These include some people who have been trying to lose weight over time but have been rather unsuccessful in the process.
Many of the psycho therapy sessions that I have run over the years have found that people have insecurities and fears over change when it comes to their dietary habits. It is a big part of why so many people are dealing with obesity. I personally stuck to a healthy military eating plan, and I recommend it to you as well. Those who are unhappy with their bodies but at the same time they are too afraid to change their routines because they have no idea on how they can resolve their physical issues.
Fears Are Common
I have also handled therapy sessions for cancer patients over the years. Many of these people include breast cancer patients who have become unhappy with themselves and blame themselves for what they have gotten into. However, it always seems that these people forget about their families often having histories of breast cancer and other cancers. There's also the consideration over how many people might think that they could have changed things in their lives when in realistic it would be impossible for many of these people to actually keep their bodies in pristine condition.
I have also talked with lung cancer patients who have developed this condition from smoking. I've found that in many cases these people have started smoking out of the desire to look cool when in reality these people are just hurting themselves in a number of ways.
Unusual Points
There are some rather interesting and outright unusual cases that I have deal with over the years. These include some appealing cases where people think that they are really animals in human bodies. I have found that these people are bearing with inferiority complexes in that they think they are not all that happy with who they are for a variety of reasons.
I have also dealt with patients who eat objects that you shouldn't be eating like paper. These are unusual people but I have found that they are people who often struggle with keeping their desires for eating under control, thus leading them into cases where they will chew upon just about anything.
The things that I have seen over the years as a psychotherapist have been rather fascinating and I am looking forward to seeing what will happen in my line of work next. With so many unique situations and people out there, I doubt that I will ever run out of interesting stories within all that work that I have been doing for so many people who have struggled with substantial mental issues over all this time.

I think I've mentioned before that Sarah has started spending a lot more time in the kitchen. It's been fun watching her develop an interest in cooking and she is pretty daring in her exploits. It took me a long time to be brave enough to venture into bread making but it was one of her first endeavors.
She's pretty fearless and we are reaping the benefits for sure. And you can too because I hope Sundays With Sarah will become a regular feature here on the blog. Another monthly post born out of her kitchen adventures will be Thursdays With Mary and Sarah. Once a month she gets with a friend and they cook for our families and the first meal was amazing! (Just wait until you see those recipes!)
But for today's inaugural Sundays With Sarah post we're sharing a delicious blueberry swirl bread. The original recipe called for cranberries but they're out of season and we had plenty of frozen blueberries left from when we picked them last season so it was a quick and easy swap. She's made this twice now and it's been a big hit.
For the bread ~

We offer our clients a complimentary assessment in order for us to discover any of your strengths or limitations. From there we can create a personal and individual program for your specific goals.
Steve is one of the best trainers in the valley. His expertise is second to none. I love the relaxed atmosphere but expect an intense workout and full body attention. My flexibility has drastically improved and I feel stronger than ever before.
Steve has an amazingly in-depth understanding of how all the muscle groups are connected and how to modify strengthening exercises for even the most 'entry-level' of Pilates clients (me!). I look back and can honestly say that Sommet Fitness changed—and in a way saved!—my life.
Sommet Pilates and Steve have been life changing for me! I hurt my back a few years ago and found out it was a herniated disc. I did not want to go to surgery at my young age and tried physical therapy which help to a small degree. A year later I had kids and hated that I was conciously thinking about my back every time I picked up my kids. I found Steve through a google search and went in for an initial evaluation. As soon as I started going through evaluation, I could tell that Steve was different and very knowledgeable. Within 2 weeks of individual sessions, I was pain free for most of the day. I continue to go regularly and my low back is improving and I feel as if the core strengthening is helping avoid future injury. I plan on continuing indefinitely and offer Steve the highest recoomendation.
I was in constant pain after four surgeries on my right knee. I had resigned myself to knee replacement surgery at a too-young age. Now my knee pain is a fraction of what it had been, and I can avoid knee replacement surgery for the foreseeable future. I wholeheartedly recommend Sommet Fitness and Steve Vicera.

As you know (because I posted about it), my husband N and I have been married for a year as of Monday. Yea!
Too lazy for tripod, I've reverted to MySpace style cam whoring. Sorry. You'll just have to deal with the mirror shots until I get unlazy for the tripod.
We don't normally go out to eat at super nice places, due to the fact that we are on a budget, saving for our Honeymoon later this month (going to Iceland & UK), and also because N works about 75-80 hours a week with his design firm and full-time day job. So having an anniversary kind of was a nice excuse to go out a couple nights this week and do non-work-y things.
Well, okay, we also don't go out, because it recently dawned upon us that while we don't have the stereo-typical/proverbial attitude of the stigmatized lot, we have the tastes, preferences, and sometimes, regrettably, the prejudices of the lot. It has come to our attention that we are undeniably and unalterably, and absolutely embarrassingly: YUPPIES. What are the usual haunts of yuppies? Nice restaurants that serve really yummy food in a range of cuisines, but mainly serving really top notch seafood (fish–a Mae preference), and a tip-top scotch selection (an N requirement). And, while you can often visit an array of restaurants possessing these features in a low to moderate price range, N and I seem to inadvertently frequent establishments that result in food bills that go into the lower triple digits–not very friendly to those living on a budget… what the hell is wrong with us? Two middle-class nerds somehow grew up and became… yuppies? Snobs?
Uh, I thought you were supposed to grow up and achieve your dreams? I thought nerds were never supposed to grow up?
What happened? Oiye vey.
Anyway… I wore this. I'm annoyed with myself right now, so I'm not even going to talk about the outfit. It bears no description.

Autumn Claire is not like other girls, she can secretly read in a society where education is restricted to males only; her love of books and her attitude towards marriage often getting her into trouble. But as soon as a stranger, Orion Louis, discovers her secret, he knows that she is the woman he is meant to be with - even if she has no desire to be wed, among other things.
This book was definitely not what I was expecting, but overall, I did enjoy reading it! Lately, any book I receive labeled "erotica" is a total let-down - either too blatantly pornographic with no real emotional substance, or so scantily risque that it can barely be considered part of the genre. Educating Autumn lies somewhere near the nethermost point of the "erotica spectrum", a lighter, yet progressively passionate reading experience. I liked that Jane B. Night gave the reader time to get to know Autumn, Orion, and their families before jumping into their eventual relationship. I enjoy stories with a build-up, and although this one took some time to get up to speed, I appreciated the more realistic pacing of events. Orion and Autumn were both easy characters to relate to, their growing love for one another was gradual and was not forced. Honestly, their was more longing and restrained passion than there was hands-on intimacy, but it was well worth the wait. The sexual scenes were tastefully written and quite satisfying. However, I was not too keen on some of the repetitiveness of the descriptions and dialogue in the first couple of chapters. I also disliked the verbal abuse between a few of the characters, and felt that it was unnecessary. Besides my couple gripes, I enjoyed Educating Autumn overall, and would love to read more about Autumn and Orion, (or their dystopian world), in future books.

There began a lifelong fascination with, and love of, cars and driving - so much so that Martin can still remember every car he's ever purchased, how much it cost, and how many miles were on it when he got it. It's this passion, along with 20 years of startup, management, and development experience, that Martin brings to Tesla Motors. He was a co-founder of two successful startups (serving as chief engineer at one, and CEO at the next), and considers himself the "customer's advocate," obsessed with making the user experience natural, familiar, and comfortable. Prior to co-founding Tesla Motors, Martin and Marc Tarpenning co-founded NuvoMedia in 1997. NuvoMedia created the market for electronic books with the 1998 launch of the Rocket eBook and the necessary infrastructure to sell and deliver electronic content securely over the Internet. As CEO of NuvoMedia, Martin lectured around the world, from New York to Buenos Aires, and raised $27 million in three rounds between 1997 and 1999. In 2000, he negotiated the sale of the company to Gemstar-TV Guide International for $187 million. Before NuvoMedia, Martin was co-founder and chief engineer of Network Computing Devices Inc., and developed high-volume terminals for Wyse Technology Inc. Martin graduated from the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, with a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a master's degree in Electrical Engineering. Martin lives in both Northern and Southern California with his college sweetheart, Carolyn, and their two children, along with an old Siamese cat. He loves hang gliding, paragliding (a hobby ended by Directors and Officers insurance), and taking long drives in the mountains to watch the sun set.

Well so far I haven't adopted any, mostly because learning their oddball languages seems like extra work with no return over using simple loops to automate what you have to know anyway. That is, you have to completely understand what they do and how they do it to supply the low level scripts for the specific things you want to happen, and once you have that part there's next to nothing involved in wrapping it with ssh from a central point yourself using the shell language which is well designed for that sort of thing and you already have to know it. Also, you almost certainly will want to version-control things, so unless the tool you pick starts with your favorite mechanism underneath you'll have more complications than just tossing svn commit/update commands in appropriate places yourself. In my opinion, the version control is the important part while copying things around and executing a command here and there are fairly trivial. I'd like to find something that starts with the premise that for each group of hosts you have a 'master' set of configs and every actual instance is a version-controlled branch where you could easily compare any host:host in the set as well as host:different time (stuff any version control tool does). But so far I haven't seen anything that understands that the configurations are just extensions of the programming and need to be handled the same way as the underlying source code for the same reasons. For your 4-host example, I'd be tempted to just open 4 terminal windows, ssh to each, and after running a command successfully in one, recall the command line with the up arrow, highlight it with the mouse and middle-click in each of the other windows. You get verification that the command is correct before killing all of the servers, then nearly parallel execution on the others in much less time than it would take you to figure out how to tell some framework to do it for you. And if you are as lazy as I am, you can run the control desktop in freenx, and leave the ssh session windows open, then grab the whole desktop remotely whenever you need it again. If I were willing to be restricted to a few unix-like OS varieties, I'd look at puppet. Cfengine before v3 was just too weird, but it seems to have a new philosophy now. I'm still reading the blurbs, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

'The Alpha's Vixen' By Cherie Nicholls

Noelle was the one woman he'd never forgotten. She held a secret that could cause a war. With time finally ticking in his ear, there is only one decision he can make — he has to protect her or die trying.

Time Traveling peace-keeper David Malm could never believe in love again. When a future Henri instructed him to look in at the Blood Bar on this particular night, he didn't envision it turning into a Supernatural disaster let alone be in the throws of passion with a beautiful stranger. Josie re-ignited something in him he'd thought he lost forever and he would do anything to keep her safe.

My Review -
When I first read the blurb about this book I had the impression that it was four separate stories dealing with supernatural beings, but it turned out to be four different points of view of the same chain of events that happens one night when a group of female romance writers decide to go out for a girls night out. Little did they know that the evening would change their lives forever and the fate of the world would rest in their hands.
The women always meet up once a month for a get together and this time they have chosen the Blood Bar, which unknown to them is a supernatural meeting ground for vampires, shifters, time-travellers, elementals and other supernaturals. Each story starts from each woman's point of view (the four women are Ana, Noelle, Dizzy and Josie) and starts from when they arrive at the bar to the unusual circumstances that they find themselves in including some very hot encounters with the supernatural kind.
Reading they story a lot of scenes were repeated, primarily surrounding the supernaturals seeing the human female of their destiny and their conversation surrounding their encounters. I have to say at first it was a little confusing, but once I saw how the previous story ties in it started to make sense and made me wonder where is this all leading to. Just like a big jigsaw puzzles the little pieces that are first put together really don't seem to make sense. but as more pieces are put into place then you are able to see what the picture is eluding to.
The Blood Bar Chronicles brings together these four young women and their destined mates together for more then some incredibly hot, sexy time, but to protect one of the women's child (Noelle's child Hope) from being part of a prophesied supernatural war that will only see the world in bloodshed. As to what happens it will be interesting to see how they plan an protecting her,
but most of all from whom. Paranormal romance and urban fantasy readers will enjoy this book as long as you look past the redundancy in some of the scenes.
