"In this book, David Linthicum does that rarest
of things: he manages to combine showing why SOA and Cloud
Computing complement one another with a lucid game plan of how a
business can take advantage of the synergies between them in
concrete ways that will contribute to the bottom
—Jeremy Geelan
Conference Chair, Cloud Computing Conference and Expo series
Sr. VP, SYS-CON Media and Events
Massive, disruptive change is coming to IT as Software as a Service
(SaaS), SOA, mashups, Web 2.0, and cloud computing truly come of
age. Now, one of the world's leading IT innovators explains
what it all means—coherently, thoroughly, and
Writing for IT executives, architects, and developers alike,
world-renowned expert David S. Linthicum explains why the days of
managing IT organizations as private fortresses will rapidly
disappear as IT inevitably becomes a global community. He
demonstrates how to run IT when critical elements of customer,
product, and business data and processes extend far beyond the
firewall—and how to use all that information to deliver
real-time answers about everything from an individual
customer's credit to the location of a specific cargo
Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence in Your
Enterprise offers a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges
associated with this new world—and offers a step-by-step
program for getting there with maximum return on investment and
minimum risk. Using multiple examples, Linthicum:
Reviews the powerful cost, value, and risk-related drivers behind the move to cloud computing—and explains why the shift will accelerate
Explains the technical underpinnings, supporting technologies, and best-practice methods you'll need to make the transition
Helps you objectively assess the promise of SaaS, Web 2.0, and SOA for your organization, quantify value, and make the business case
Walks you through evaluating your existing IT infrastructure and finding your most cost-effective, safest path to the "cloud"
Shows how to choose the right candidate data, services, and processes for your cloud computing initiatives
Guides you through building disruptive infrastructure and next-generation process platforms
Helps you bring effective, high-value governance to the clouds
If you're ready to begin driving real competitive
advantage from cloud computing, this book is the start-to-finish
roadmap you need to make it happen.

The Science of Naturally Intense™ High Intensity Workouts

High Intensity Workouts For Weight Loss & Muscle Building
Over the years helping people lose weight as a NYC Personal Trainer, I clients will often ask about the benefits of honey versus sugar .Usually they are in the process of making the transition towards healthier eating and are searching for something that will fill the hole left by the elimination of simple sugars. As much as I would love to say that you can use honey to your heart's content, unfortunately this simply is not the case. If you are serious about weight loss and even more importantly, your overall health and longevity, then I would strongly advise against using honey as a sugar substitute. The problem is that your body will have a significant insulin response to it, which is never good for the body, though many have accustomed themselves to it by eating a diet filled with refined sugary foods.
Honey Is Not Better Than Sugar- You Need Fiber To Consume Simple Sugars Safely
On a diet focused on naturally occurring foods, as would be consumed in an environment away from all the modern inventions that masquerade as food in our society, there would almost never be any large insulin spikes from sugars or products like honey. A fact that would make it very easy to maintain a healthy bodyweight, and also a fact that would make disorders such as Type II diabetes very much uncommon.
Human beings are not designed to ingest sugars on their own, since in nature they always occur in the presence of fiber. Fruit can be very sweet (due to the fructose content), but the fiber content serves to not only slow down the way our body responds to it (keeping insulin at relatively steady levels) but also to stop us from eating too much of it at once.
Fiber is insoluble and tends to be very filling and as such it is very hard to over eat fruits as the fiber naturally fills you up and prevents you from getting to a point where your insulin levels rise to far. Now if you think about it, honey is very much a processed substance with a high content of fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose- all of it of it without the presence of any fiber whatsoever. So by using honey as a sweetener, there will inevitably be a high amount of insulin secretion as a response to all those sugars, which will then translate into hypoglycemia, and in the long run increase your risk of pancreatic disorders- and of course that high insulin response will also serve to promote the storage of body fat.
How Honey Differs From Sugar
There is some speculation from preliminary animal studies that show that chronic honey consumption does not cause as much weight gain as equal consumption of sucrose (table sugar), however this was a limited study and both groups of animals still did gain weight as a result. Modern dietary relativity would have someone say that honey then is better than sugar, but in so doing miss the point that you will still gain weight if you use it indiscriminately and that your health will suffer from the constant insulin spikes over time.
It is important to get away from the marketing hype of 'natural equals wholesome' as it is very much incorrect, the poison cyanide is natural, and produced by plants and fungi, cocaine comes from 'natural' sources as does heroin. The bottom line is that you should think long and hard about what the term really means. Now some would argue that there are valuable nutrients in honey, but the amounts are small, and you can easily get the same benefits in a healthier way from consuming fruit.

Patagonia's sustainable OutsideIn shoe uses natural latex and hemp. Other shoes use coconut husk fiber.
Another forward-thinking, all-natural fabric is Cocona, which is derived from coconut husks discarded from the food service industry. Cocona helps traditional fabrics resist moisture, control odor and shield ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Some 40 outdoor clothing manufacturers, including GoLite, Marmot, Sierra Designs and Royal Robbins, are incorporating Cocona into their 2007 product lines.
Not to be outdone is Patagonia, a company many consider to be the granddaddy of sustainable outdoor gear. The California-based company sources all of the cotton in its shirts, pants, outerwear and underwear from 100 percent organic producers. In 1993, Patagonia crafted its signature polyester fleece outerwear from recycled soda bottles—saving some 86 million Coke and Pepsi cast-offs from the trash heap. Today, the company is reducing energy and resource use by melting down customers' discards, which become new jackets and sweaters. This year Patagonia launched a new line of footwear made from organic cotton, latex made from the milk of Hevea trees, hemp, recycled rubber soles and laces made from vegetable waste.
Synthetic stand-bys such as polyester and nylon have been "go-to" materials for decades in outdoor adventuring, thanks to their moisture-wicking, quick-drying and warmth-retention properties. But they're quickly being surpassed by a new crop of fabrics crafted from organic plant-based materials.
Soybeans have moved beyond stir fries and biodiesel into outdoor clothing, with industry insiders dubbing soy fabric the "vegetable cashmere" due to its soft texture. ExOfficio's Tofutech Tee Shirt, for instance, wicks moisture, retains warmth and resists wrinkles like many of its competitors, but is made out of 100 percent soy-based, fully biodegradable fabric.
Nau to the Scene
Oregon-based outdoor clothing manufacturer and retailer Nau was launched last year with strong green production values. Every item in the company's diverse line of outdoor-oriented clothing uses one of three types of sustainable fabrics: recycled polyester from soda bottles, cotton from certified organic producers or the renewable corn-based plastic-alternative polylactic acid (PLA). The company's four retail outlets were designed from the ground up to make use of reclaimed timber, energy-efficient lighting and an innovative "ship-to-you" program that cuts down on the need for costly in-store storage space and energy use.
Shoemaker Timberland's new line of Greenscapes sneakers is crafted from vegetable-tanned leather and hand-sewn to avoid toxic adhesives. The laces are made from recycled polyester and the outsoles from recycled rubber.
According to Betsy Blaisdell, the company's manager of environmental stewardship, "Our broad, overarching goal is to measure our impact and to be transparent and accountable to our stakeholders." Timberland includes a "Green Index" with new shoes that details the products' environmental footprint. It is working with the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) to take this index industry-wide.
Eco-Sensitive Clothes
Along with Timberland, Seattle-based Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) is one of the founding members of OIA's new Eco-Working Group, composed of representatives from 75 different companies. REI recently announced its own "eco-sensitive" label to demarcate its own sustainable products. The company's designers released a new line with clothing made from organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, organic wool, recycled polyester and PLA.
"We are moving from a grassroots approach to a formalized commitment to environmental performance in our products," says Lee Fromson, the company's vice president of gear and apparel. "Many of our customers recognize that their purchase decisions have a direct impact on the natural world."
OIA considers such efforts key to its mission of working to raise the standards of the industry and supporting future innovation. "One of the big strides many of our companies have taken is considering the entire lifecycle of their products," says Ann Oben-chain, OIA vice president of member services. "Instead of just using recycled materials, they're thinking about the end of the product's life."
With so many technologically ad-vanced and environmentally friendly options to choose from, outdoorsy types may need to restock their wardrobes. After wearing out their old clothes, of course.

Cafemutual starts a series of interviews with the game-changers who have shaped India's MF industry. In this interview, we feature V Shankar, Director, CAMS, who entered the challenging R&T business when mutual funds were still in their infancy in the country.
You worked with Pond's as a Sales Manager. How did the transition to IT happen? What made you shift your focus?
I could say that I was a visionary and immediately understood the potential of IT, but that would be facetious. Even as Sales Manager in Pond's, my interest was in IT, but to an extent you can attribute it to serendipity. Please understand that IT, particularly software, was an exotic and little understood topic then, somewhat like genetic engineering is today. I guess there was simply a good fit between my personality and the demands of IT engineering.
You started CAMS in 1988 as an IT services company and then gradually moved to capital markets and then to mutual funds. How did the idea of floating CAMS come to you?
Though my interest was in the software side of IT, software in those days was considered like the chutney that was given (free) with the idlis. The concept of creating software to one's particular need and more importantly of paying for it did not arise. At the same time, operating computer hardware was still a somewhat specialist task. Hard disks were 10MB in capacity, the size of a dictionary and very expensive. Employing people was still cheap. The general customer attitude was that if someone was willing to take the effort of investing in a computer, operate it, and produce a result cheaply that was fine, otherwise the customer would just employ more staff to do the work manually.
In this scenario, the only real market opportunity was to produce an outcome rather than deliver software. That opportunity for creating an outcome turned out to be data processing for the capital market industry as it was crying for a professional touch.
How did you get your first client? How did you manage to bag the accounts of most fund houses?
CAMS had several Chennai-based clients in the very beginning. This may have been because capital market vendors were mainly based in Mumbai in those days and communication was not as easy then as it is nowadays. A Chennai-based alternative was attractive for simple logistical considerations. However, once we established a track record, customers from all over India came to us because we rapidly built a reputation for integrity and efficiency.
The first large mutual fund account we signed on was that of Alliance Capital Mutual Fund. We were very fortunate in having them as our first client, as they helped us tremendously in many operational aspects of what was then a nascent industry. In fact, we set up a JV with them, Acsys Software, to develop software for the AMC industry.
We have been fortunate to get a number of AMC clients. I attribute it to our single-minded focus on the development of not only our side of the industry, but also in the growth of asset management itself in India. Like the early AMCs, we were category creators.
The Indian mutual fund industry has two dominant registrars who cater to a large section of the trade. Has the limited competition in the R&T space helped you?
When the MF R&TA industry started its journey, it had almost eight RTAs including certain marquee names like Citi, etc. What differentiated CAMS was:
(a) An unflinching commitment to the MF industry. We vacated the equity R&TA business almost two decades back and did not consciously enter any segment which would put us in a conflict situation. Our MF RTA value proposition brought the difference through scale and specialisation benefits;
(b) A stream of product/process innovations like Active Statement, MFDex, Fundsnet, etc;
(c) Continuous investment behind technology and front-office infrastructure to increase reach and grow the assets.
All these factors sharpened our competitive advantage and led to a two-player situation and not the other way round.
I believe that in infrastructure plays like exchanges, depositories, and institutions like ours (a combination of the two), players need scale to deliver economies and efficiency. Too many players will dilute scale and investment ability to the ultimate detriment of society.
How have your systems and process evolved since you started? What new technologies and processes have you deployed over the years?
In the initial stages, we had an offline-data model with front offices not having access to the core system on a live basis. Front offices used to carry out limited data entry required for processing the transaction and send the physical copies by courier. Web-enabled browser based technology was introduced in the late '90s, once connectivity became affordable, and this allowed our front offices and clients to access data on a real-time basis.
Image-based processing was introduced in 2000 which led to qualitative change in the speed and manner with which we processed a transaction. We could despatch account statements within three days as against the earlier norm of 10 days. Workflow-based processing was introduced in 2005, significantly enhancing the speed while ensuring control.
Today most of our clients' CRMs are powered by our replication tool which enables the AMCs to respond to investor queries on an instantaneous basis.
We constantly add value to our clients through product/process innovations, which has resulted in better services to investors and distributors while bringing down the cost. A few such innovations are:
- MFDex, a Business Intelligence tool;
- eSTR, a tool to identify and report transactions which require investigation for compliance with Prevention of Money Laundering Act;
- Active Statement, first of its kind, providing a single view of the investments held across the participating mutual funds. It also allows investors to interact with it, showing charts, accepting service requests, updating static information etc. CAMS was the original innovator of the Common Accounts Statement bringing convenience to investors and cost efficiency to AMCs.
Our role has evolved from that of a service provider to a knowledge partner and business enabler, boosted by our extensive domain knowledge. We enable growth of the industry through our reach, physical and electronic. Our electronic platform, Fundsnet, has enabled IFAs who are located in Tier-III & Tier-IV cities to participate in the MF industry with the assurance of same day NAV.
How do you make sure that investor data is secure and confidential?
CAMS is ISO 9001:2008 certified for process excellence and ISO 27001 certified for Information Security practices. The spirit of ISO 27001 Information Security standards is that Information Security should be built into the very DNA of the organisation, i.e., in the hiring, induction, training, physical access, data access, application and network security etc., from the design stage itself. CAMS does indeed do exactly that.
Data confidentiality is ensured through multiple levels of control. Who can access what data is documented, implemented and audited for verification of the efficacy of the control systems. Access to all our systems is password protected. Information that may be accessed by an employee is based on the need for access, thus restricting the data to which she has access. For instance, an employee working in X unit will not have access to data of other units, irrespective of his level. Within the unit, the access rights are layered depending on the role/work level. Audit trail is detailed and covers even a simple view access. Data transmission and access are secured and encrypted.
Data centres are protected against physical/electronic intrusion. We have several layers of redundancy built in to protect our data and applications. Our Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity plan are well documented and periodically tested to ensure effectiveness when required. We have both in-city and off city Business Continuity Plan centres.
The R&T business is both manpower and technology driven. How do you manage costs in a challenging environment? What is the differentiating factor in the R&T business? What would be CAMS's differentiating factor?
All our major cost elements—people, infrastructure and technology—are inflation prone. Despite that, CAMS has delivered cost efficiencies through appropriate use of technology and process innovations. Scale, technology and process innovations have helped CAMS to deliver superior value to mutual funds and investors. CAMS led the initiatives on increasing electronic pay-outs, email communication to investors, Consolidated Account Statements, distributed printing of communication/cheques to reduce postage cost, etc.
Having said that, we are severely challenged now on the cost front, with the industry not growing as it used to earlier, along with inflation running at double digits.
The MF R&TA industry is different from that of the equity market in terms of the sweep of scope, technology and front office infrastructure that is required and the 24/7 demand on the R&TA resources. An MF R&TA manages the entire life-cycle of the investor including acceptance and execution of transactions (which is done by a broker in case of the secondary market), maintenance of records (done by a depository), access and reach (provided by broker and DP), reconciliation/movement of funds (done by broker, Clearing Corporation), processing of dividends (done by the RTA in case of the secondary market) and issuance of account statement done by DP in case of the secondary market) on a platform owned by R&TA (the stock exchange, in case of the secondary market). As can be seen from the above, an MF R&TA performs a role which is holistic and covers the entire spectrum while in case of the secondary market the same is executed by multiple agencies (stock exchange, depository, DP, broker and R&TA). However, the MF R&TA manages to deliver this at a fraction of the cost of that of the secondary market.

Too much stuff not enough tape.
By HelloKittyAngie
from Bronx,New York
The very first night I got this I went straight to the purse. I started to cry right after I found out I wasn't going to have enough tape for the purse. It was so hart to make it anyway. I used some extra sheets to finish it but I still don't have enough for the handle. Made the wallet. It didn't come with the third piece of cardboard so I had to use regular tape. It looked weird on the inside. Disappointing. Going to try to return.
Poor purchase

Not Satisfied with product -
By Mary
from Burien Washington
Product advertises as 6 + --- no way can a young child cut the duck tape - we went through two pairs of scissors; there isn't backing on tape as shown in the directions; following the directions completely for the bag there isn't sufficient tape in the kit to complete the bag. Don't recommend purchasing this item.

REGISTRATION FOR CLASS IS CONDUCTED BY MAIL ONLY OR AT THE TIMES SCHEDULED ON-SITE - NOT the 1st night of class unless prearranged with the instructor.
Assume your child is accepted into the class he/she is being signed up for, as there will NOT be a written confirmation sent (you may want to call prior to the beginning of the session, especially if you sent your registration out close to the start of the session).
Prepayment is required to reserve a space in a desired class.
Our prices are subject to change without written notice.
One make-up is allowed during a session and can NOT be carried over from session to session. You are responsible for scheduling, with staff, any make-up classes and are not the responsibility of Donna's Gym-nastics.
All parents (even returning students) must stay 10-15 minutes at the 1st night of class for EACH term. This is when announcements are made & handouts are given. If you can not make the 1st night of class you must get a sub or tell the class instructors & find out what announcements were made. (Announcements are different every session).
Parents are only allowed to come & watch the 1st & last class of the session. We find the students listen better to their instructors when parents are not around, as well as, there is less noise in the gym. If your child has separation problems, we will try to work with you both & gradually work on separating you from your child. The last night of class is Parents' Night, all parents & relatives are invited to watch the students.
Proper attire is required.
Children can wear shorts, t-shirts, sweat pants or leotards and socks.

The consumerization that generated the BYOD tidal wave is spilling over into new areas -- and causing additional concerns for IT.
Because many IT departments still struggle to manage the abundance of brands, devices, and operating systems that employees are bringing to their offices, it's no stretch that allowing workers to use their own applications, social networks, and clouds won't happen smoothly or overnight. But a groundswell of adoption will occur within the next 12 months or so, according to Siemens Enterprise Communications.
As Randy Roberts, vice president of the mobile portfolio at Siemens Enterprise Communications, told me:
The consumer is smart, and the consumer is also a worker. A lot of times, those same apps and solutions can make them productive, as well. The line between work and home has, frankly, disappeared. If you think about the IT guy, now it's even more challenging for him.
In a Blue Coat study conducted in November, 83 percent of organizations allowed employees to access company email on personal mobile devices, and 51 percent gave employees access to corporate instant messaging. However, only 31 percent granted that same freedom with enterprise resource planning software, 24 percent did so with sales force automation, and 19 percent allowed workers to log in to supply chain management.
This, however, assumes that IT managers know which applications employees are using. That is not necessarily the case, according to Roberts. "IT managers are unaware of two-thirds of the applications being used on their network," he said. "In 2013, I think it will grow even more and be self-evident."
Ross Sedgewick, vice president of global solutions marketing at Siemens Enterprise Communications, said that more employees, looking to eliminate the redundancies of creating the same work environment across multiple devices, are using personal clouds from providers like Box, iCloud, and Dropbox to store data. Personal clouds provide convenience and productivity, but corporate IT must be able to provide identity authentication, security, and encryption, he said. "Security will start to become part of the table stakes in file sharing and storage of personal cloud."
People don't want to try and figure out where a particular piece of data or a certain app resides. Instead, they want their tools and information to travel with them in a personal cloud they can access for either personal or business reasons. They may, for example, prefer the photo-editing software they use at home to the corporate-approved application, or a free time management app they use to track their kids' schedules may be ideal for managing a project.
For example, I prefer using IrfanView for working with photographs. There may be better tools out there, but for the limited amount of work I do on art, I haven't found it worthwhile to learn a different application (yet, anyway). We all have our favorites; most are from reliable developers and are used as standalone products simply to get a particular job done. Letting employees use their preferred tools for noncritical functions makes sense, especially if it means less demand for IT support.
That doesn't mean, of course, that we all get to choose our own payroll, customer relationship management, or enterprise resource planning solutions.
In fact, Siemens Enterprise Communications expects users and business managers to drive half of IT use decisions. As a result, IT will need to focus on centralized policies, security standards, and usage controls for all these bring your own technologies, the company said.
Will employees soon be bringing their clouds, as well as their devices, to work?

Nicole, I presume that would depend on whether the employer had clear policies about what types of information could be shared on which platforms.
NicoleH - So say if an employee is working on a confidential document that listed SSN's or credit card#'s on their personal cloud app and for whatever reason, the document is compromised and that data is leaked. Would the employee be at fault because it was not necessarily an approved app or maybe IT because they do not have better controls in place to support employees using personal cloud apps?
Good question! I'd say both are at fault here, but really only a lawyer or regulator knows for sure.
@Mitch: I believe we're in that phase when mobile applications are at a plurality, much like the time when social networks kept popping up here and there. After some time, the best of the best go mainstream, allowing IT to manage employee-level usage more easily. I think the case will be the same for BYOC. Maybe in a year or two, we'll see the Facebook/Twitter of BYOC-related mobile apps. That or businesses (once again) mandate their users to use Microsoft.
The mention of Irfanview made me realize just how convenience is a real driver in real life situations. I've used this handy and free application for years and know the ins and outs well enough to handle most any photo job I come across.
It's the ease of use and familiarity that bring me back to it again and again, even though there may very well be even easier to use and more flebible programs out there now. But, I don't want to have to learn another program.
Allowing employees flexibility in what they bring to the corporate setting just makes sense. Not only saving time and money, but giving employees a sense of controlling their own work style.
How can IT manage employee use of personal cloud apps? I'm thinking a combination of education, offering alternatives, and blocking network access.
Sounds like a subject for a follow-up blog!
Paul Whyte - In many cases, there is no corporate policy regarding personal cloud apps. In other cases, non-IT employees are simply ignoring policy.
"And, again to echo Mitch, there could be major repercussions for businesses in terms of governance, risk-management, DR, and security."
That's really true. But I was thinking that most businesses should have realized these problems you highlighted and as a result have taken appropiate steps to minimize employees's erratcic use of the network. That's why an effective corporate policy governing the use of the network is very important first step towards steming this tide of "unwanted' apps ruuning through the network.

Do you ever feel fatigued? I used to think I was invincible. Thankfully, that childish thought has, over time, weathered.
Earlier this month, I wrote about the need to create space in one's life—that is, to not control or plan every moment. This week, I learned you can't always will your way through. Sometimes, you lose. I knew I had to give up when my dreams involved a poetry contest co-judged by Patrick Dempsey in which the poems took the form of pureed soup in thermoses (you could plug them into projectors, which would cast the words onto a screen). At least it wasn't a repeat of last year's dream in which a cat told me she was a consultant to humans.
One can certainly feel mentally fatigued as well. I feel weary of food blogs this week and little inclined to cook. Instead, I came up with a few projects I would like to start soon, and I also leave you with a little video to remind us all that food is all about sharing and joy. And the love of ketchup.
A week's worth of sickness is worth the reminder that we're human. Have a great weekend!
Spring Projects:
- Reviving the patio garden | Container herbs with cilantro, parsley, basil, chives, and rosemary. Container cherry tomatoes. Lettuces. Pole beans. Chile peppers.
- DIY Apartment Work | Maybe some basic shelves, inspired by Corner Blog's idea that it's what you put on the shelf, not the shelf, that matters. (The author, by the way, lives in my old neighborhood, Alamo Square Park. One of SF's finest!) Or some new balcony door curtains.
- DIY Food Projects | Bringing back some oldies but goodies, like preserved lemons and sourdough starter. It was sourdough starter, in fact, that was the awkward start of this blog.

Staff suggested a beautiful trail for 70+ year old hikers. Marymere Falls showed a variety of the parks's treasures.
Staff suggested a beautiful trail for 70+ year old hikers. Marymere Falls showed a variety of the parks's treasures.
Like most the national park visitor centers, this one is just as awesome as others. The rangers here are friendly and suggest really nice visiting routes based on your plan, like how many days you goanna spend here.
Given the vastness of the park, our preference NOT to camp, and our emphasis on visiting islands for fishing, we only had time for a short visit to Hurricane Ridge. It was spectacular and well worth the trip!
The ONP visitor center was a great place to stop, especially because we have never been to the park before. The staff was very friendly.
Very helpful and friendly staff. A large number of maps, books about nature, souvenirs and many more. Here you can buy an annual pass for the price of 2 visits.
A beautiful setting, friendly staff with answers to our questions. Very clean. When we have out of town guests, we bring them here, well that is if our government hasn't shut it down.
The park itself is beautiful and has a lot too see. I believe you can read very detailed info from website.

There are many police cars hidden in the traffic. We... More
a nice observation point, nice cafe. Definitely not one of the best National Park visitor centers, but then you dont go to a national park for it's visitor center. Olympic NP in itself is breathtaking. Probably the best national park in WA/OR.
I always stop by the Visitor Center before entering any National Park. Picked up some literature, got my National Park passport stamped, and talked to a ranger. Very helpful.
We visited the Hoh Rain Forest on a sunny 65 deg day. The 1+ mile trail was stunning with wonderful scenery. We loved it and wished we could have taken another trail as well. The next day we went up to Hurricane Ridge but, unfortunately, the clouds and rain had moved in. Except for a short way on the road... More

Bake Your Own Turkey Weekend 2005
Here at Inventing Situations, we've tried to carry on the tradition of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day marathons by staging our own. Starting right st Midngiht EST Wednesday, November 22th, 2005 (that'd be the start of Wednesday) until sometime around noon, Monday November 28th, we'll once again be offering fans a chance to make their own captions for stills from as many of the films used on MST3k as we can get access and rights to use. Since we don't have the money to get rights to anything, we'll just offer up the raw unmstied versions of as many of the public domain [1] films we can get our hands on. As usual, we've got a number of films that are NEW to Inventing Situations this year and we hope to find the time to get some new screengrabs for a few of the returning films.
Also, you'll be able to create your own "comedy" stories with stills from some of these films at our sister site Wasting Precious Time. We'll be adding a new film for you to work with each Sunday night in November.
Ignore the fine print and skip to the list of movies we're showing.
New for 2005:
Serial from [203], [205] and [206] The Phantom Creeps
Serial from [406] and [409] Undersea Kingdom
[502] Hercules!
[507] I Accuse My Parents
[518] The Atomic Brain
Meanwhile, at the Glitterdome, caution will be thrown to the wind as actual episodes of mst will be offered for captioning on the Cap Board.
While you're waiting for the feast to begin, feel free to check out what's available for capping now.
Be sure to check out Daddy-O's Drive In Dirt, which is a valuable source of information on these films.
A look at years past: 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

The sun is dazzling and a whispery breeze buoys the star-spangled banners outside the American Legion Hall in Palm Springs, Calif., as Col. Lewis Millett, a Korean War hero and Medal of Honor winner, announces his withdrawal from the race for the United States House of Representatives and pledges his allegiance to someone else.
He is bowing out, he says, for a host of reasons: his age, his health, his conviction that the front-runner in the upcoming contest, standing here beside him on a crisp morning in late February, can do the job as well as he can. But the clear subtext of Millett's brief speech is that he doesn't stand a chance. The front-runner's momentum is unmatchable. Her appeal is inimitable.
Her name is Mary Bono.
''I'm tremendously honored,'' she tells a gaggle of reporters in an even, confident voice that also suggests another reaction: she is not surprised. Millett is not the first of her potential opponents to defer to, and endorse, her. Moreover, since early February, when Bono formally announced that she would run in the April 7 special election to fill the Congressional seat left vacant by the death of her husband, Sonny, she has been considered a heavy favorite to win.

You all know that I love to paint. Furniture, walls, junk, whatever. I just love being able to change the color of anything. I'm not afraid to paint, but sometimes I get a little scared of using a completely new color palette that takes me outside of my comfort zone.
Not long ago, in my post "Do Not Fear Paint," I shared with you a new tool from Glidden called My Colortopia. MyColortopia.com provides inspiration, tools, and advice from the Colortopia Team to help you gain confidence throughout the painting process. Glidden also has another tool that lives on MyColortopia.com. If you are stuck in a rut or don't know where to start on your room transformation, My Image Inspiration is a tool that allows you to upload a picture of anything you like, to be the starting point, the inspiration for the room. Whether it's a piece of art, furniture, fabric—anything really, My Image Inspiration will give you a selection of color palettes that are a perfect fit for that image.
"Looking for ideas to kick-start your room redo? Upload a picture of something you like and think would work for your space. . . You'll get a selection of color palettes (one main color and two coordinating colors that you can use for trim or accents) to browse through, save, print, share and paint!" {From MyColortopia.com}
So I thought I'd give it a try myself. Where better to find an inspiration photo than on Pinterest? I had pinned this one a while back under the board "Colors I Love."
I LOVE the green in this chair and would love to use this color somewhere in my house but not sure that I can pull it off! It's SO different than any of the colors I have now. I've always told you NOT to fear paint, and I don't, but this one is a little out of my comfort zone! Let's see what MyColortopia.com Image Inspiration says. . .
I'll admit that at first I didn't get it. It didn't quite give me the colors I anticipated. I was hoping for more {or some} of that funky green. But then I realized, if I was to use this piece in the room, I really probably don't want that dark green paint on the walls! Duh! I would want the chair to stand out and the wall/trim colors to be more subtle. I did discover that you can select a more specific area of the picture by cropping and it will give you matches to that exact color rather than the colors from the entire area.
But I was happy with the colors it gave me. From here it tells me I am supposed to choose a color I like. My two favorites were the Antique Silver and the Seal Grey. I'm really wanting to add some grey to my house too! I decided to go with Antique Silver {it seemed a little safer} . . .
I was give three different color palettes. I really liked the middle one. It actually blends well with the other colors in my home which is important. Even though funky colors are fun, a room that is completely out of place is not. Especially since our house is so open. My Image Inspiration gave me the options to email, print and/or share on Facebook. I printed my color palette and the photo of the green chair to put in my notebook. Yes, I have a notebook filled with torn pages from magazines, printed photos and paint samples! It's my "old school" version of Pinterest, but I still use it!
If you are having a hard time matching colors to an inspiration piece for a room, or even if you just don't know where to start, I suggest you give this tool a try! Whether is't a piece of furniture, a piece of artwork, or a photograph from your favorite vacation spot, let My Image Inspiration tool be the starting point to a fabulous room!
So will I do it? Guess you'll have to stay tuned to find out! Have a great weekend!
I have been sponsored by Glidden brand paint to write this post but the thoughts and opinions expressed are my own

Burglary suspect hides in neighbor's apartment, threatens to kill himself | Crime
COLUMBUS, GA - Columbus Police tried to arrest a burglary suspect Monday afternoon and ended up in a stand off with the suspect.
Officers were at Milgen Village Apartments to serve a warrant on a burglary suspect around noon.
The man was identified as Michael Brewer, age 23, of Columbus. He was wanted on five different charges, four of which are from the Columbus Police Department and one from the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office.
Columbus Police warrants include burglary, terroristic threat, obstruction of a police officer and probation violation. The Sheriff's Office also had a violation probation charge for him.
When Brewer figured out police had arrived, he hopped up into the attic and dropped down into an empty neighboring apartment and hid under the sink in some cabinets.
Brewer had a knife and was threatening to slit his throat. Police stopped him before he could do serious harm to himself.
He has minor injuries and they're not life threatening.

The Colloquium set out to ask: "what has literature in German been saying lately about nations, nationalisms, and nationalism's 'others': globalism, Europeanism, Atlanticism, cosmopolitanism, provincialism, political religion, or 'unpolitical' attitudes?" Contributors were invited to interpret their chosen novels, dramas, volumes of poetry, films (or in Allyson's case, works of music...) as metaphors / narratives of the twenty-first century nation.

SB 88 VETO: More Of The Same Lies, Pandering and Demagoguery
"The sure foundations of the state are laid in knowledge, not in ignorance; and every sneer at education, at culture, at book learning, which is the recorded wisdom of the experience of mankind, is the demagogue's sneer at intelligent liberty, inviting national degeneracy and ruin."~George William Curtis, Author, Social Reformer (1824-1896)
Governor John Lynch vetoed Senate Bill 88 yesterday, once again affirming allegiance to yet another unelected, unaccountable constituency: The New Hampshire Police Chiefs Association. Despite thirty-one states adopting "stand your ground" laws and eliminating such duties to retreat, Lynch takes his counsel from those who think of themselves as smarter, wiser and more intuitive than the very people they were hired to serve.
As I pointed out in earlier blogs, back in 2006, I went on TV-50 in Derry and debated then N.H. Association of Police Chiefs' President, Nathaniel "Chip" Sawyer on this issue. I also pointed out that it wasn't much of a debate and Chief Sawyer didn't put up much of a spirited counter-argument because he didn't have to. He already had Lynch's fidelity and the veto was already a done deal.
When she was Attorney General, Senator Kelly Ayotte urged Lynch to veto the Castle Doctrine Bill in 2006 (SB318) Yet, when she became a candidate for U.S. Senate, she quickly flip-flopped on the issue. In 2006, SB 318 passed with arguable bi-partisan support in the house and it was Ayotte and her cronies that decried the bills' passage with red-herring-esque", arguments that somehow, "the use of deadly force on street corners, in shopping malls, public parks, and in retail stores. Drug dealers and other felons who brandish weapons will be further emboldened to use their weapons, while prosecution of those criminals will be made more difficult because of this bill's expansion of the right to use deadly force." That has not happened in the other thirty-one states who have passed the measure. As I recall, one assistant AG characterized the, "streets running red with blood," if the bill became law.
Standing ones ground and owing no duty to retreat is not a new doctrine. There is a considerable body of case law addressing this very question. In Beard v. U.S. (1895) that a man who was, "[W]here he had the right to be" when he came under attack and "...did not provoke the assault, and had at the time reasonable grounds to believe, and in good faith believed, that the deceased intended to take his life, or do him great bodily harm...was not obliged to retreat, nor to consider whether he could safely retreat, but was entitled to stand his ground."
In Brown v U.S. (1921), Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes stated, "Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife. Therefore, in this Court at least, it is not a condition of immunity that one in that situation should pause to consider whether a reasonable man might not think it possible to fly with safety or to disable his assailant, rather than to kill him..."
In State v. Gardner, (96 Minn. 318, 327, 104 N.W. 971, 975 (1905).) Justice Jaggard stated, "The doctrine of "retreat to the wall" had its origin [in Medieval England] before the general introduction of guns. Justice demands that its application have due regard to the general use of and to the type of firearms. It would be good sense for the law to require, in many cases, an attempt to escape from a hand to hand encounter with fists, clubs and even knives as a justification for killing in self-defense; while it would be rank folly to require [an attempt to escape] when experienced persons, armed with repeating rifles, face each other in an open space, removed from shelter, with intent to kill or cause great bodily harm..."
The current Attorney General Michael Delaney opposed the bill. But must we be so surprised that a once seasoned, astute criminal prosecutor, by virtue of his post, has become a pandering partisan hack? Make no mistake about it. Delaney might possibly be perhaps one of the sharpest legal minds to take up the reigns at Justice...But based on results, we see his fealty to Lefty Lynch stepping out front and center, for the bidding and favors of his boss.
Governor Lynch has no trust, faith or confidence in the very citizenry that elected him to office. He is one of the conventional liberal thinkers who "knows what is best for us," more than we do. And he can always count on New Hampshire Police Chiefs for their pandering and demagoguery. Citizens can only hope that, despite the RINO contingents with their, Kenneth Gould's and Alida Millhams that infect our legislature like a pox on our houses, a veto override will occur.

Hot from Rome: sustainable tourism is good for business, for protected areas, for Europe writes Julia Shoenharl
Despite the blue sky and 32°C, eight people sat for many hours round the conference table at the offices of the EUROPARC Federation Italian Section, Federparchi. At stake were the important decisions about which of the many applicants for the European Charter of Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas, should be awarded or re-awarded this important title. The results were really good: all of them had achieved the high standard required to be called a Charter area.
EUROPARC Consulting is proud to be so closely associated with the European Charter. The idea of the Charter was conceived after a truly remarkable seminar called "Loving them to death", nearly 20 years ago. The first Charters were awarded in 2001 since when both the Charter and its "journey" process have been a resounding success. To be a "chartered" protected area is to be part of a journey of development, a continuous quest for successful, sustainable sharing of these magical landscapes.
Carefully built from the ground up, after much shared thinking, the European Charter is an unrivalled process to help implement the concept of sustainable development in Europe's most treasured places.
When all of this year's new Charter areas have been added there will be over 100 protected areas in Europe that can proudly call themselves "Charter areas". A real reason to celebrate the 100th Charter area later this year.
There is also, of course, the Charter part II which has had a brilliant start in 2007. It helps create close partnerships between a protected area and local tourism businesses. Many of these local enterprises are so proud of their partnership with the protected area that they display prominently signs of the partnership in their restaurant or shop windows, on hotel doors and local products.
Defined as "development that meets the needs of present generations, without compromising the capacity of future generations to meet their needs", sustainability involves the preservation of resources for future generations, viable economic development and equitable social development.
In order to promote the Charter and its aim of sustainable tourism, EUROPARC Consulting carries out every year the evaluation and verification of all the applications for European Charter status. We start in early January with an assessment of the application dossier and appoint a trained sustainable-tourism expert who travels to the area in order to verify the protected area's claims. The resulting thorough report is then submitted to the Charter's Evaluation Committee in June each year. You can see the Committee in session on one of the photographs here.
After careful consideration, the Committee then awards the Charter (or not) and the successful protected area will receive a certificate at the annual EUROPARC Conference which this year will take place in Genk, Belgium.
So far this year, EUROPARC Consulting has processed 33 applications for evaluation and re evaluation and presented the reports to the meeting of the Evaluation Committee in Rome last week.
As always, it was a demanding process, but rewarding nevertheless. EUROPARC Consulting is looking forward to seeing the certificates, signed by the President of the EUROPARC Federation, being handed over in Genk, Belgium, later this year. Our congratulations to all protected areas who had the Charter awarded or re awarded to them.

Recruitment Statement
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Often described as a more radio-friendly version of Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Brothers, the Atlanta Rhythm Section was one of many Southern rock bands to hit the upper reaches of the charts during the late '70s. Hailing from the small town of Doraville, Georgia, the beginning of the Atlanta Rhythm Section can be traced back to 1970. It was then that a local recording studio was opened, Studio One, and the remnants of two groups (the Candymen and the Classics Four), became the studio's house band. One of the facility's head figures, Buddy Buie, soon began assembling the session band -- singer Rodney Justo, guitarist Barry Bailey, bassist Paul Goddard, keyboardist Dean Daughtry, and drummer Robert Nix. After playing on several artists' recordings, it was decided to take the band a step further and make the group of players a real band, leading to the formation of the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

Traveling Safely With Diabetes
Yutzy and Bell both advise wearing a medical alert bracelet and carrying extra supplies: Those glass bottles of insulin can drop and break. And travelers who are flying should be sure to carry supplies on the plane; checking them with baggage can be a big mistake. "You don't want to be in Portland, Oregon, when your baggage and your supplies are in Portland, Maine," Yutzy says.
Traveling overseas may involve an entirely different level of preparation and planning, particularly if people with diabetes are traveling to Third World countries. Yutzy advises checking with the U.S. State Department to find English-speaking doctors at any travel destination.
Yutzy and Bell also stress that needles and syringes can raise the eyebrows of customs officials in some countries. Documentation that the supplies are necessary to treat diabetes can save a lot of grief. "People need a signed letter from their doctor, on letterhead," Bell advises.
Also, traveling across time zones can complicate things for patients who are on a regular insulin schedule. "What I usually advise people is to treat their diabetes as if they were on American time until they get to Europe [or wherever they're going]," Bell tells WebMD. "Once they get there, they can change over to European time. And when they come back, stay on European time until they get home."
But Bell says that in the "nitty gritty" of travel, people are not apt to eat regularly. "So I tell them they have to check their glucose multiple times," he cautions. "If they are running low they need to take some sugar, and if they are running high they need to take some insulin to stay on schedule."
What else do you need to know about when the car or plane ride is over and you've reached your destination?
Experts say patients experiencing neuropathy -- like the patient described by Weinberg -- need to be cautious about ambitious adventures, especially hiking. And Bell says a walk across the blazing sands of a summertime beach can be hazardous for patients who have lost feeling in their feet.
Similarly, patients who have eye complications stemming from diabetes should think twice about scuba diving. And any water sports can be made safer by using the "buddy system," Yutzy and Bell say.
For the traveler whose diabetes is well controlled and without complications, vacations can be as adventurous or relaxing as the next person's. "People with diabetes climb mountains and hike the Appalachian Trail," Yutzy tells WebMD. "The key is making sure you know how to take care of yourself."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 and you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

HQ: No, I don't have time to read all that stuff. Obama is right that the ever higher costs of Medicare are not sustainable. Doctors have always been paid according to the tests & procedures they order, so there is a monetary incentive there. The staff in my dr.'s office seem happier-yours? Now they get paid for preventative care? And the Advisory panel is to determine best procedures. Know a man who had prostrate surgery & is miserable? There's a non-invasive Gamma ray procedure that seems to work just as well. The Advisory panel will read the studies and advise drs. So if a patient is demanding surgery, as many do, as well as demanding this or that test, the Dr. will have the FACTS as to what works best for who. And the govt that was supposed to be there to prevent 9/11,that was not there, even on that day, and are still covering up their incompetence, was the Defense Dept. And it is relevant, because it is a whole lot of money. We've built the equivalent of 2 Pentagons since 9/11, even though the original one couldn't even protect itself? Like Ike said, no bridges, roads, schools, get built, when the Military/Industrial Complex has so much influence. That quote about Democracy failing when people figure out how to get free money? Its really General Dynamics, Lockheed, etc. that have done that.
