Aside from public cloud, private cloud, and something in between, the essence of cloud computing is fabric. The 2nd article of this 5-part series is to annotate the concept and methodology of forming a private cloud fabric with VMM 2012. Notice that throughout this article, I use the following pairs of terms interchangeably:
And this series includes:
Fabric in Windows Azure Platform: A Simplistic, Yet Remarkable View of Cloud In cloud computing, fabric is a frequently used term. It is nevertheless not a product, nor a packaged solution that we can simply unwrap and deploy. Fabric is an abstraction, an architectural concept, and a state of manageability to conceptually denote the ability to discover, identify, and manage the lifecycle of instances and resources of a service. In an oversimplified analogy, fabric is a collection of hardware, software, wiring, configurations, profiles, instances, diagnostics, connectivity, and everything else that all together form the datacenter(s) where a cloud is running. While Fabric Controller (FC, a terminology coined by Windows Azure Platform) is also an abstraction to signify the ability and designate the authority to manage the fabric in a datacenter and all intendances and associated resources supported by the fabric. As far as a service is concerned, FC is the quintessential owner of fabric, datacenters, and the world, so to speak. Hence, without the need to explain the underlying physical and logical complexities in a datacenter of how hardware is identified and allocated, how a virtual machine (VM) is deployed to and remotely booted form bare-metal, how application code is loaded and initialized, how a service is started and reports its status, how required storage is acquired and allocated, and on and on, we can now summarize the 3,500-step process, for example, to bring up a service instance in Windows Azure Platform by virtually saying that FC deploy a service instance with fabric. Fundamentally a PaaS user expects is a subscribed runtime (or "platform" as preferred) environment is in place so cloud applications can be developed and run. And for an IaaS user, it is the ability to provision and deploy VMs on demand. How a service provider, in a private cloud setting that normally means corporate IT, makes PaaS and IaaS available is not a concern for either user. As a consumer of PaaS or IaaS, this is significantly helpful and allows a user to focus on what one really cares, which is a predictable runtime to develop applications and the ability to provision infrastructure as needed, respectively. In other words, what happens under the hood of cloud computing is collectively abstracted and gracefully presented to users as "fabric." This simplicity brings so much clarity and elegance by shielding extraordinary, if not chaotic, technical complexities from users. The stunning beauty unveiled by this abstraction is just breathtaking.
Fabric Concept and VMM 2012
Similar to what is in Windows Azure Platform, fabric in VMM 2012 is an abstraction to hide the underlying complexities from users and signify the ability to define and resources pools as a whole. This concept is explicitly presented in the UI of VMM 2012 admin console as shown here on the right. There should be no mystery at all what is fabric of a private cloud in VMM 2012. And a major task in the process of building a private cloud is to define/configure this fabric using VMM 2012 admin console. Specifically, there are 3 definable resource pools:
Clearly the magnitude and complexities are not on the same scale comparing the fabric in Windows Azure Platform in public cloud and that in VMM 2012 in private cloud. Further there are also other implementation details like replicating FC throughout geo-disbursed fabric, etc. not covered here to complicate the FC in Windows Azure Platform even more. The ideas of abstracting those details not relevant to what a user is trying to accomplish are nevertheless very much the same in both technologies. In a sense, VMM 2012 is a FC (in a simplistic form) of the defined fabric consisting of Servers, Networking, and Storage pools. And in these pools, there are functional components and logical constructs to collectively constitute the fabric of a private cloud.
Servers Pool
This pool embodies containers hosting the runtime execution resources of a service. Host groups contains virtualization hosts as the destinations where virtual machines can be deployed based on authorization and service configurations. Library servers are the repositories of building blocks like images, iso files, templates, etc. for composing VMs. To automatically deploy images and boot a VM from bare-metal remotely via networks, pre-boot execution environment (PXE) servers are used to initiate the operating system installation on a physical computer. Update servers like WSUS are for servicing VMs automatically and based on compliance policies. For interoperability, VMM 2012 admin console can add VMware vCenter Servers to enable the management of VMware ESX hosts. And of course, the consoles will have visibility to all authorized VMM servers which forms the backbone of Microsoft virtualization management solution.
Networking Pool
In VMM 2012, the Networking pool is where to define logical networks, assign pools of static IPs and MAC addresses, integrate load balancers, etc. to mash up the fabric. Logical networks are user-defined groupings of IP subnets and VLANs to organize and simplify network assignments. For instance, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW can be the definitions of three logical networks such that real-time applications are connected with HIGH and batch processes with LOW based based on specified class of service. Logical networks provide an abstraction of the underlying physical infrastructure and enables an administrator to provision and isolate network traffic based on selected criteria like connectivity properties, service-level agreements (SLAs), etc. By default, when adding a Hyper-V host to a VMM 2012 server, VMM 2012 automatically creates logical networks that match the first DNS suffix label of the connection-specific DNS suffix on each host network adapter.
In VMM 2012, you can configure static IP address pools and static MAC address pools. This functionality enables you to easily allocate the addresses for Windows-based virtual machines that are running on any managed Hyper-V, VMware ESX or Citrix XenServer host. This feature gives much room for creativities in managing network addresses. VMM 2012 also supports adding hardware load balancers to the VMM console, and creating associated virtual IP (VIP) templates which contains load balancer-related configuration settings for a specific type of network traffic. Those readers with networking or load-balancing interests are highly encouraged to experiment and assess the networking features of VMM 2012.
Storage Pool
With VMM 2012 admin console, an administrator can discover, classify, and provision remote storage on supported storage arrays. VMM 2012 uses the new Microsoft Storage Management Service (installed by default during the installation of VMM 2012) to communicate with external arrays. An administrator must install a supported Storage Management Initiative – Specification (SMI-S) provider on an available server, followed by adding the provider to VMM 2012. SMI-S is a storage standard for operating among heterogeneous storage systems. VMM 2012 automates the assignment of storage to a Hyper-V host or Hyper-V host cluster, and tracks the storage that is managed by VMM. Notice that storage automation through VMM 2012 is only supported for Hyper-V hosts.
Where There Is A Private Cloud, There Are IT Pros
Aside from public cloud, private cloud, and something in between, the essence of cloud computing is fabric. And when it comes to a private cloud, it is largely about constructing/configuring fabric. VMM 2012 has laid it all out what fabric is concerning a private cloud and a prescriptive guidance of how to build it by populating the Servers, Networking, and Storage resource pools. I hope it is clear at this time that, particularly for a private cloud, forming fabric is not a programming commission, but one relying much on the experience and expertise of IT pros in building, operating, and maintaining an enterprise infrastructure. It's about integrating IT tasks of building images, deploying VMs, automating processes, managing certificates, hardening securities, configuring networks, setting IPsec, isolating traffic, walking through traces, tuning performance, subscribing events, shipping logs, restoring tables, etc., etc., etc. with the three resource pools. And yes, it's about what IT professionals do everyday to keep the system running. And that brings us to one conclusion.
Private cloud is the future of IT pros. And let the truth be told "Where there is a private cloud, there are IT pros."
[To Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
This is the first article of a 5-part series examining the key architectural concepts and relevant operations of private cloud based on VMM 2012 including:
VMM, a member of Microsoft System Center suite, is an enterprise solution for managing policies, processes, and best practices with automations by discovering, capturing and aggregating knowledge of virtualization infrastructure. In addition to the system requirements and the new features and capabilities, there are specific concepts presented in this article, although fundamental, nevertheless important to know before building a private cloud solution with VMM 2012. This blog series also assume a reader has a basics understanding of cloud computing. For those not familiar with cloud computing, I recommend first acquiring the baseline information form: my 6-part series, NIST definition, Chou's 5-3-2 Principle, and hybrid deployment.
Private Cloud in VMM 2012
Private cloud is a "cloud" which is dedicated to an organization ,hence private. Notice that the classification of private cloud or public cloud is not based on where a service is run or who owns the employed hardware. Instead, the classification is based on whom, i.e. the users, that a cloud is intended to serve. Which is to say that deploying a cloud to a company's hardware does not automatically make it a private cloud of the company's. Similarly a cloud hosted in hardware owned by a 3rd party does not make it a public cloud by default either.
Nevertheless, as far as VMM 2012 is concerned, a private cloud is specifically deployed with an organization's own hardware, provisioned and managed on-premises by the organization. VMM 2012 succeeding VMM 2008 R2 represents a significant leap in enterprise system management and acts as a private cloud enabler to accelerate transitioning enterprise IT from an infrastructure-focused deployment model into a service-oriented user-centric, cloud-ready and cloud-friendly environment, as a reader will learn more of the capabilities of VMM 2012 throughout this series. The best way to evaluate VMM 2012, download and try it yourself.
And There Is This Thing Called "Fabric'
The key architectural concept of private cloud in VMM 2012 is the so-called fabric. Similar to what is in Windows Azure Platform, fabric in VMM 2012 is an abstraction layer to shield the underlying technical complexities and denote the ability to manage defined resources pools of compute (i.e. servers), networking, and storage in the associated enterprise infrastructure. This concept is explicitly presented in the UI of VMM 2012 admin console as shown here on the right. With VMM 2012, an organization can create a private cloud from Hyper-V, VMware ESX, and Citrix XenServer hosts and realize the essential attributes of cloud computing including self-servicing, resource pooling, and elasticity.
Service in VMM 2012
One noticeable distinction of VMM 2012 compared with previous versions of VMM and other similar system management solutions is, in addition to deploying VMs, the ability to roll out a service. I have taken various opportunities in my previous blogs emphasizing the significance of being keen on what is a service and what is cloud to fully appreciate the business values brought by cloud computing. The term, service, is used often indiscreetly to explain cloud and without a grip on what is precisely a service, cloud can indeed be filled with perplexities.
Essentially, the concept of a service in cloud computing is "capacity on demand." So delivering a service is to provide a business function which is available on demand, i.e. ideally with an anytime, anywhere, and any device access. In private cloud, this is achieved mainly by a combination of self-servicing model, management of resource pooling, and rapid elasticity which are the 3 of the 5 essential characteristics of cloud computing. Specific to private cloud, the 2 other characteristics, i.e. broad access to and chargeback business models in the service (or simply the application since in the context of cloud computing, an application is delivered as a service) are non-essential since in a private setting an organization may not want to offer broad access to a service and a chargeback model may not always be applicable or necessary as already discussed elsewhere.
Particularly, a service in VMM 2012 is implemented by a set of virtual machines (VMs) working together to collectively deliver a business function. To deploy a service in VMM 2012 is therefore to roll out a set of VMs as a whole, as opposed to individually VMs. Managing all the VMs associated with a service as an entity, i.e. a private cloud, has its advantages and at the same time introduces opportunities and challenges as well for better delivering business values. Service Template is an example.
Service Template
An exciting feature of VMM 2012 is the introduction of a service template, a set of definitions capturing all configuration settings for a single release of a service. As a new release of a service is introduced due to changes of the application, settings, or VM images, a new service template is as well developed. With a service template, a cloud administrator can deploy a service which consists of a set of VMs that are multi-tiered and possibly with multiple VM instances in individual tiers based on the service configuration. For instance, instead of deploying individual VMs, using a service template in VMM 2012 IT can now deploy and manage a typical web-based application with web frontends, business logic in a middle tier, and a database backend as a single service.
Private Cloud It Is
VMM 2012 signifies a milestone for enterprise IT to actually have a solution to operate like a service provider. As VMM 2012 soon to be released, IT as a service is becoming a reality. And while some IT professionals are concerning that cloud may take away their jobs, I am hoping on the contrary as reading through this series one will realize the energy and excitements cloud computing has already brought into our IT industry and broadened careers. I believe private cloud is as yet the greatest thing happens to IT. Every time anticipations and curiosities arise as I start envisioning so many possibilities IT can do with private cloud. It is inspiring to witness cloud computing coming true and be part of it. And I can't help imagining an IT pro greases up hair, walking down the hall way of some datacenter, and shouting out….
I solve my problems and I see the light We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger we can go too far We start believing now that we can be what we are Cloud is the word It's got groove, it's got meaning
[To Part 2, 3, 4 ,5]
As of August, 2011, US NIST has published a draft document (SP 800-145) which defines cloud computing and outlines 4 deployment models: private, community, public, and hybrid clouds. At the same time, Chou has proposed a leaner version with private and public as the only two deployment models in his 5-3-2 Principle of Cloud Computing. The concept is illustrated below.
Regardless how it is viewed, cloud computing characterizes IT's capabilities with which a set of authorized resources can be abstracted, managed, delivered, and consumed as a service, i.e. with capacity on demand, without the concerns of underlying infrastructure. Amid a rapid transformation from legacy infrastructure to a cloud computing environment, many IT professionals remain struggling in better understanding what is and how to approach cloud. IT decision makers need to be crisp on what are private cloud and public before developing a roadmap for transitioning into cloud computing.
Private Cloud and Public Cloud
Private cloud is a "cloud" which is dedicated, hence private. As defined in NIST SP 800-145, private cloud has its infrastructure operated solely for an organization, while the infrastructure may be managed by the organization or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise. By and large, private cloud is a pressing and important topic, since a natural progression in datacenter evolution for the post-virtualization-era enterprise IT is to convert/transform existing establishments, i.e. what have been already deployed, into a cloud-ready and cloud-enabled environment, as shown below.
NIST SP 800-145 points out that public cloud is a cloud infrastructure available for consumers/subscribers and owned by an organization selling cloud services to the public or targeted audiences. Free public cloud services like Hotmail, Windows Live, SkyDrive, etc. and subscription-based offerings like Office 365, Microsoft Online Services, and Windows Azure Platform are available in Internet. And many simply refer Internet as the public cloud. This is however not entirely correct since Internet is in generally referenced as connectivity and not necessary a service with the 5 essential characteristics of cloud computing. In other words, just because it is 24x7 accessible through Internet does not make it a cloud application. In such case, cloud computing is nothing more than remote access.
Not Hybrid Cloud, But Hybrid Deployment
According to NIST SP 800-145, hybrid cloud is an infrastructure of a composition of two or more clouds. Here these two or more clouds are apparently related or have some integrated or common components to complete a service or form a collection of services to be presented to users as a whole. This definition is however vague. And the term, hybrid cloud, is extraneous and adds too few values. A hybrid cloud of a corporation including two private clouds from HR and IT, respectively, and both based on corporate AD for authentication is in essence a private cloud of the corporation, since the cloud as a whole is operated solely for the corporation. If a hybrid cloud consists two private clouds from different companies based on established trusts, this hybrid cloud will still be presented as a private cloud from either company due to the corporate boundaries. In other words, a hybrid cloud of multiple private clouds is in essence one logical private cloud. Similarly a hybrid cloud of multiple public clouds is in essence a logical public cloud. Further, a hybrid cloud of a public cloud and a private cloud is either a public cloud when accessing from the public cloud side or a private cloud from the private cloud side. It is either "private" or "public." Adding "hybrid" only confuses people more.
Nevertheless, there are cases in which a cloud and its resources are with various deployment models. I call these hybrid deployment scenarios including:
I have previously briefly talked about some hybrid deployment scenarios. In upcoming blogs, I will walk through the architectural components and further discuss either scenarios.
Closing Thoughts
A few interesting observations I have when classifying cloud computing. First, current implementation of cloud computing relies on virtualization and a service is relevant only to those VM instances, i.e. virtual infrastructure, where the service is running. Notice that the classification of private cloud or public cloud is not based on where a service is run or who owns the employed hardware. Instead, the classification is based on whom, i.e. the users, that a cloud is operated/deployed for. In other words, deploying a cloud to a company's hardware does not automatically make it a private cloud of the company's. Similarly a cloud hosted in hardware owned by a 3rd party does not make it a public cloud by default either.
Next, at various levels of private cloud IT is a service provider and a consumer at the same time. In an enterprise setting, a business unit IT may be a consumer of private cloud provided by corporate IT, while also a service provider to users served by the business unit. For example, the IT of an application development department consumes/subscribes a private cloud of IaaS from corporate IT based on a consumption-based charge-back model at a departmental level. This IT of an application development department can then act as a service provider to offer VMs dynamically deployed with lifecycle management to authorized developers within the department. therefore, when examining private cloud, we should first identify roles, followed by setting proper context based on the separation of responsibilities to clearly understand the objectives and scopes of a solution.
Finally, community cloud as defined in NIST SP 800-145 is really just a private cloud of a community since the cloud infrastructure is still operated for an organization which now consists a community. This classification in my view appears academic and extraneous.

Don't see what the fuss is about this film
By Ethendras (30 reviews) from Kettering , 15 Jan 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
I seriously don't see what the fuss is about this film and why it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1991. The film is odd really - frustrating, funny in places, claustrophobic, the characters are interesting (the egotistic film producer Jack Lipnick is the best, and John Goodman is excellent) but ultimately I cannot see the point in the film. It's not a great storyline, it loses itself towards the end and peters out. Barton Fink is played well by John Turturro but he's not a greatly likeable character and is a bit pathetic really. I don't agree that the film is rewarding, as other reviewers have said. There's simply much better films out there and better writers/directors than the Coen Brothers!- Was this review helpful to you?

By sclayton (1 review) , 26 Nov 2012I had never heard of this film and rented it purely on the strength of it being one of the Coen brothers' films and it certainly didn't disappoint, it was excellently kooky and extemely watchable in true Cohen brothers style...loved it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Barton Fink stinks
By Alexissoyer (11 reviews) , 15 Nov 2012According to critics (who I mistakenly believed) this is one one of the Coen brothers seminal works - praise indeed. However the brilliance of the film escaped me, any sub text also missed me. I found this film very boring film, perhaps it should have had audience description during the film highlighting the points I was missing and not understanding.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dreadful print on the weird "Barton Fink"
By Baz (105 reviews) from London , 25 Oct 2012Always had trouble liking this Coens film - admired it rather than actually liked it. Rewatching now doesn't change that opinion - great cast, great dialogue at times - but somehow it just meanders, goes nowhere and then leaves not knowing what the hell just happened.
However, that's nothing to the real problem - the truly dreadful picture quality that afflicts this BLU RAY.
At times it's so badly covered in grain - it's unwatchabl. Sure there are moments (especially out in the open sunshine of California) when it's suddenly glorious. Unfortunately - there is bad grain and fuzziness more often than not as most of it is set inside a hotel room. Sometimes it feels like you're watching a bad video...
Rent this before you buy the BR as a replacement - a real let down.- Was this review helpful to you?

Morpheus and the Devil plot with the Coen Bros
By LeonHarper (61 reviews) from At the movies , 10 May 2012The Coen Brothers tick another box in their repertoire with this curious visit to writers block. It starts as an odd premise for a film, develops into a comical critique of the Hollywood industry and descends into a dark film noir to end with an appointment to meet the devil.
John Turturro (Fink), Coens fetich, leads the way in one rare lead role in his career and he is well supported by a cast with John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Michael Lerner, all of them playing archetypical Coens characters; eccentric, goofy and melodramatic.
The film originates from the authors previous real experience of a writers block. Turturro is an acclaimed director in the East coast now tempted by the Hollywoodian experience looking for a new form of art for the common man. During his search Fink goes through his personal blockade, a helpless isolation as evidence of his inability to connect with this common man, the real man so highly regarded. And the film drags along through this oppressed and claustrophobic atmosphere with no much to hang onto but little amusing moments often described as a critique to the film industry and generally embodied in the skin of Jack Lipnick (Lerner), the Hollywood mogul.
After nearly an hour of overindulgent drowsiness, The Coen Bros shrug off and introduce a welcome shift in the style and narrative of the film. It is then a dark drama, almost film noir with evil undertones. There is now a sense of urgency, a rush to close the film on a high note. The story is here delivered half-baked but even stale bread does for the viewer at this stage. A few flashes of brilliance among some degree of suspense, the awakening of an evil Goodman as a full-time player and a string of bing bang booms and inflamed corridors close the film on a high but a sense of tiredness and disenchantment.- Was this review helpful to you?

Turturro's Finest Hour...
By Jibbet10 (52 reviews) from Chippenham , 06 Apr 2011So I saw this film just now called 'Barton Fink'.It is the story of a frustrated writer in Los Angeles desperately looking for inspiration whilst remaining committed to the plight of the common man. The film was headed up by Coen Brothers favourites John Tuturro and John Goodman and can certainly be described as Turturro's finest hour. It is funny but it seems that the Coen Brothers are the only real fans of these two actors. They bring out their brilliance in a way no other director has and since the pair have stopped using these two actors as much as they did their careers seem to have taken a downward spiral. What a shame this is. Turturro's performance in this one is award worthy but what do we see him in now? 'Transofmers' and maybe 'Anger Management' spring to mind but these don't stand up to his earlier work, especially that of the 90s. It seems incredible that after performances such as this Tuturro remains a B list actor who rarely is given the chance of a leading role. Going back to the subject of awards, this one was nominated for three Oscars. Alas, Turturro was not a nominee and instead the nomination was for Best Actor In A Supporting Role. Goodman? Nope. It was for Michael Lerner. How ridiculous.
To a lesser extent the same can be said of John Goodman. The Coen Brothers always manage to bring out a crazy and sometimes psychotic side to Goodman and this can not only be seen in 'Barton Fink' but in the crude character he played in 'The Big Lebowski'. Again, where is he these days? The only name the average movie watcher would recognise here is Steve Buscemi and I feel this is a real shame. I just can't see how other directors have not picked up on the talent of these two.
Anyway back to the film. It is a film based around frustration. We feel Turturro's frustration through his performance and perhaps because the film was based on the true experiences of writers block, during the creation of the film 'Miller's Crossing', of the directorial duo. The film is so effective in showing the pain that they themselves went through and you can feel how genuine it is all the way through. We get another typically Coen Brothers ambiguous ending just like we did with 'A Serious Man' but all in all the film was a brilliant one.- Was this review helpful to you?

Troopers: Woman arrested for stealing from elderly Warsaw man
Posted at: 02/12/2013 2:41 AM | Updated at: 02/12/2013 4:37 AM
State Police say a woman who stole money and a car from an elderly man in Warsaw and then fled to Virginia, is now under arrest.
Troopers say Treva Wright, 75, ran off with more than $17,000 of the elderly man's money, who has since died.
A warrant was issued for her arrest in July last year, but she fought extradition to answer to charges in New York state.
On Monday, she was finally arraigned on charges of grand larceny at the Wyoming County Court.
She was remanded to the Wyoming County Jail on $10,000 bail.

Investors came on board when exploratory drilling turned in heaven sent results - high grade coal samples.
Sitting on a promising asset, Tinkler sold it not once but twice -- first to Macarthur Coal for A$275 million plus a 10% stake in the company and a year later, in 2008, with world coal prices soaring, he sold his stake in Macarthur to global steel giant ArcelorMittal.
His A$1 million gamble turned into a multimillion dollar pile of cash with which he went on a buying spree -- football and rugby league clubs, horse studs, as well as property. He also formed Aston Resources, a mining development vehicle, floated in 2010.
The Aston Resources merger with Whitehaven Coal was his great hope and even diminished by weak coal prices, it remains his main asset.

The Onion goes for the low-hanging fruit of coffee shop art. Hilarity ensues:
Isabel By Herself, which sells for $150 and is currently hanging next to an untitled black-and-white photograph of an old Guatemalan man, has reportedly been called "a piece of shit" by no fewer than 40 customers since it was first placed on the wall in December, and has on dozens of occasions been mocked as "the most clichéd thing ever" and for appearing as though "a retarded eighth-grader made it."
The painting also stated that at least once a week, a patron points at it, laughs, and loudly exclaims to a friend, "A hundred fifty dollars? What, are they fucking nuts?"

LGBT Studies Program and Hofstra Cultural Center present
Our search for the exotic has always been a veiled attempt to find our hidden or not-yet-determined identity. Often the foreigner symbolizes s/he who would be different but who is, in fact, that element of ourselves we seek to (re)discover. Looking abroad, then, is a commonplace metaphor for looking inside. Foreigners in literature and cinema commonly stand for the queer aspects we secretly hope to see represented. How does gazing at the foreigner or being the foreigner evoke queer desires that are often left unspoken?
But this symposium has a two-pronged ambition: How has the current state of American policy regarding same-sex couples encouraged American queers to look abroad, not just for exoticism but for civil rights policy, immigration policy, adoption policy, inheritance policy, etc.? As the country's politicians and moral leaders debate same-sex marriage, they continue to reduce queer discourse to an isolationist conception of the issues, leaving aside our potential participation in an international network. This conference seeks to examine the role of American intellectuals and activists in a movement not just of internal tolerance but also toward greater inclusion in international queer politics.

Wow... In reading down the rest of some of these comments, I just had to skip some of what I was reading. Such harsh words are sometimes hard to swallow.
I'm not going to bother pointing out the user names. If you're one of them and you're reading this, I'm sure you will recognize it.
A 12 year old has already set their path in life for how they are going to be as adults??? I may have used different words, but that's what you're saying. Twelve is just the beginning of adolescence. I don't understand how you can be so dumb. I have to assume that you either truly are ignorant or you were in a hurry when you posted your comment and did not successfully make your point. So at 12 when you were starting puberty and going through hormonal changes, attitude adjustments, mood swings and irrational thoughts, this is how you are now as an adult. Wait a minute. Now I understand why you post such ignorance. I am sorry to inform you that you did not successfully complete your age of adolescence. Please go back and try again.
Whoever stated that this 12 year old deserves what she got. You are heartless and you should be ashamed of yourself. Have you no sensitivity for the parents who have lost a child, yes, CHILD. You are not just wrong for saying that, you're STUPID! I would love for you to experience the feeling of losing a child of any age and see what that feels like for a day, just so you can learn your lesson and become more of a human being than you are right now. On top of that, having some stranger who knows not a dang thing about first hand knowledge of the situation, tell you that your child deserved to die. It is mind-boggling. You are mind-boggling. Go find the part of your brain that handles emotion and feeling. You seem to have misplaced it.
Others post statistics and throw numbers out there about how many people of whatever age are on welfare. I saw nothing about welfare written in this story, so like... what was your point? Go get a clue and come back and tell us what you think about THIS story and not how much you hate poor people and the welfare system. But keep it on hand for it may come in handy on a different day when the story is actually about people that are too young or too old to be on welfare and how you're tired of supporting them and their kids. Yeah, I think I've only heard that about a million times. Go talk to the government who is also (did you not know?) taking advantage of you as well, and let them know what your thoughts are. I'm sure they will be quick to process your request ASAP because that's how important your complaint will be to them.
ACCIDENT, ACCIDENT, ACCIDENT, ACCIDENT... let the parents and loved ones of this child grieve. I pray they are too busy mourning to read your harsh words directed at them and their child, who you are belittling, even as she is being laid to rest.
There are just not as many human beings as there used to be.
Bravo. +10!

Tilting over -- scared at the end and what to what did they say was the cause of that.
The weather holiness and that they haven't come playing in -- wind it's a really that.
And so it was just tilting them that this fat cats and we are completely safe but -- they'll -- I haven't discovered -- but she's got a -- her legs she's living.

Green Card Holders and Legal Immigration to the United States
This Spotlight examines the 2011 statistics on foreign nationals admitted for and adjusted to lawful permanent residence (LPR). This Spotlight uses data from the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, one of the most commonly used publications on US immigration statistics, published by the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS). The Yearbook presents inflow statistics on foreign nationals who, during a fiscal year:
Note: all yearly data is for the government's fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). All data are from OIS unless otherwise noted. Click on the bullet points below for more information:
According to US immigration law, immigrants are persons lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States. The law provides for four general immigrant categories: family reunification, employment sponsorship, humanitarian cases (refugee and asylum adjustments), and diversity immigrants. The total yearly inflow of immigrants in these categories is composed of both new arrivals to the United States and status adjusters. A person, for example, might arrive in the United States on an H-1B temporary worker visa. If her company chooses to sponsor her for permanent residence, the employer can petition US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a green card on behalf of the worker under an employment-preference visa. If she meets the criteria and if annual, numerical ceilings for employment-preference visas and per-country limits have not been met, she would receive a card stating she is lawfully admitted for permanent residence. She would then be counted as a status adjuster for that year. The number of new arrivals remained relatively stable at about 420,000 annually between 1986 and 2011. In 2011, more than 1 million people were granted lawful permanent resident status. Family reunification accounted for 65 percent of all lawful permanent immigration in 2011. Employment-preference immigrants made up 13 percent of all lawful permanent immigration in 2011. The share of employment-preference immigrants is significantly smaller than that of family-based immigrants and, in the past decade, has varied between 12 percent (81,714) in 2003 and 22 percent (246,865) in 2005 (see Figure 2). Similar to past trends, immediate family members accounted for more than half of employment-based immigrants in 2011: 53 percent (or 74,071) of employment-sponsored immigrants were spouses and children of principal applicants. In 2011, about 16 percent of all lawful permanent residents were status adjusters who entered as refugees or asylees. The 113,045 refugees and 55,415 asylees who adjusted their status to LPR in 2011 constituted 16 percent of all lawful permanent immigrants. The number and percentage of refugee and asylee adjustments of status varied significantly between 2001 and 2011, from a low of 6 percent (44,764) in 2003 to a high of 17 percent (216,454) in 2006 (see Figure 2). Refugees are required to adjust to LPR status after one year of residence in the United States. Asylees are eligible to apply for LPR status after one year of being granted asylum status. Until 2005, there was a limit of 10,000 asylee adjustments per year. The REAL ID Act of 2005 (enacted into law in May 2005) eliminated this numerical limit. The number of asylee adjustments in 2011 (55,415) was more than five times higher than in 2002 (10,197). About 50,000 foreign-born residents receive green cards yearly as diversity immigrants. The Immigration Act of 1990 established the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (the green card lottery) to allow entry to immigrants from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. No more than 55,000 diversity visas are made available each fiscal year. Of the 55,000 visas, 5,000 must be used for applicants under the Nicaraguan and Central America Relief Act of 1997, thus reducing the available number for most applicants to 50,000. The visas are divided among six geographic regions — Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South/Central America and the Caribbean — with no single country receiving more than 7 percent of the available diversity visas in any one year. Nationals of countries with high rates of immigration to the United States are not eligible to participate. For the purposes of DV 2013 lottery, excluded countries were Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born, excluding Hong Kong S.A.R., Macau S.A.R., and Taiwan), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam. Poland, on the other hand, was added back to the list of eligible countries for the DV-2013 lottery. Before receiving permission to immigrate to the United States, lottery winners must provide proof of a high school education or its equivalent, or show two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience. They must also pass a medical exam. The US Department of State received more than 7.9 million qualified applications for the 2013 green card lottery, down from around 14.8 million for the 2012 lottery. There were about 16,000 "other immigrants" in 2011. Mexico, China, India, the Philippines, and the Dominican Republic were the top five countries of birth of new lawful permanent residents in 2011. As in 2002, the top 20 countries of birth in 2011 accounted for about two-thirds of all LPRs (see Table 1). Fifteen of the 20 countries on the list in 2011 were also on the 2002 list. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ukraine, Russia, United Kingdom, and Guatemala dropped off the list, while Iraq, Bangladesh, Burma, Peru, and Ethiopia joined it. California, New York, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and Illinois were the key destinations for LPRs in 2011. In 2011, an estimated 8.5 million lawful permanent residents were eligible for naturalization, up from 8.1 million in 2010. According to the latest available OIS estimates, there were 13,070,000 LPRs residing in the United States as of January 1, 2011. Of them, 8,530,000 were eligible to naturalize.

I'm a sole practicioner, with a fairly light email volume, which I can deal with fairly quickly as it comes in. However, my schedule and task list are both very complex.
For instance, on my calendar, I like to track:
- meetings with clients which result in revenue to me and additional tasks (which I would like to color code by client)
- meetings with prospects which result in future tasks but no revenue
- program deliveries which result in revenue to me but no future tasks (which I would like to color code by client)
- tentative program deliveries, for which I need to block time, but which may get cancelled (which I would like to color code by client)
- personal appointments which I must attend (Dr, banker, etc)
- fun and games (concerts, festivals, restaurant reservations, get-togethers) which I may or may not actually attend
- schedules of other people with whom I work
- informational appointments which require nothing from me (cleaning service, birthdays, anniversaries, and the like)
My tasks are similarly complex.
Will Mr. Allen's system help me?

In my first post about a recent Pontiac-sponsored trip to the Bondurant Racing School I didn't get to tell you about my stylish new Piloti racing shoes. You didn't know there is such a thing as racing shoes, and neither did I. The rounded heel and thinner sole really do make longer driving hauls move comfortable. Pontiac picked up the tab, and I am thankful for my favorite new footwear.
I tested three version of the Pontiac G6 on the same autocross track on which I had earlier tried out the G5: the sedan, the coupe, and the convertible. The G6 sedan interior seemed to be the same as the G5. A very roomy back seat, conservative styling with out being stuffy. Some numbers: G6′s start with a 4-cylinder 156 HP engine in the base model, which gets 30/22 MPH. Only the sedan has this V4. The next two sedan trims are the GT and the GXP, names shared with the two trims available in the coupe and convertible. A powertrain with a 214 HP V6, netting 26/17 MPH, is the centerpiece of the GT trim. The very sporty GXPs is built around a better tuned 252 HP V6 which also gets 26/17 MPH.
The basic G6 sedans is that it feel like an incremental step up from the G5 — read the G5 story for more. The GT and the GXP trims own all the G6 excitement. I folded the convertible's hard-top down before I even started the engine in. I loved slalom-ing through the autocross cones under full steam. The same Stabilitrak system I described in the G5 review performed even better with the coupe's and convertible's front-wheel drive and racing suspension. Topping out around $30K (unmodified), the non-sedan G6′s are in the affordable "dad's fun car" category.

Ayotte told CNN after the late November meeting with Rice, Graham, and McCain, "Certainly she misled the American public."
Former CIA Director David Petraeus, who resigned last month after admitting to an extramarital affair, returned to Capitol Hill to testify on the attacks, and Clinton is scheduled to testify next week.
Sen. Susan Collins, the moderate Republican from Maine, said through a spokesman that the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where she serves as ranking member, would continue its investigation into the Benghazi attack. She had raised her own questions about Rice's potential nomination after a private meeting with the ambassador.
The Thursday decision was Rice's own; she was not asked to step aside in the consideration process, a former administration official who had knowledge of her decision said.
"She has got a lot of honor, a lot of dignity, a lot of patriotism. This was a completely manufactured distraction, and she was determined to put her country first," the former official said. "No nominee for secretary of state has been subjected to such a sustained campaign of politicization and slander. And it is really troubling."
Madeleine Albright, who was the first woman to serve as secretary of state and has known Rice for decades, said Rice is "brilliant" and described her withdrawal from consideration as "sad."
"I think it is genuinely, genuinely sad because she is one of the smartest people that I know and completely dedicated to serving the United States," Albright told CNN. Rice "put the country and the president ahead of her own ambition. It just shows what a tremendously thoughtful and good and responsible person she is."
In her letter to Obama, Rice wrote "the position of secretary of state should never be politicized."
"As someone who grew up in an era of comparative bipartisanship and as a sitting U.S. national security official who has served in two U.S. administrations, I am saddened that we have reached this point, even before you have decided whom to nominate," she wrote. "We can not afford such an irresponsible distraction from the most pressing issues facing the American people."
Rice served in President Bill Clinton's administration on the National Security Council, eventually leading African affairs for the council and serving as a special assistant to the president.
She was confirmed by the Senate as the top diplomat to the U.N. in January 2009.
If Rice had been nominated, she would have faced criticism from religious leaders about her role in the Clinton administration's handling of the Rwandan genocide in the 1990s.
U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said on CNN that Rice's decision was "probably for the best."
"I think Ambassador Rice was facing an uphill battle in the senate for any confirmation she may have received," he said.
Asked in an interview Thursday on NBC whether she wanted the top diplomatic post, Rice replied that she "would have been very honored to serve in that job."
She added, "But yeah, sure. How can you not want to -- in my field -- serve at the highest possible level?"

Man killed when deputy crashes into vehicle
North Fla. man killed when deputy heading to a crash scene crashes into vehicle
A 64-year-old man died after his van was hit by a Flagler County Sheriff's deputy responding to a call.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Deputy Christopher Lee Crego was heading to the scene of a crash Wednesday with his lights and sirens on when he hit the van driven by Eduardo Luis Pacheco.
The Daytona Beach News Journal (http://bit.ly/YfK6yR ) reports FHP is trying to determine whether the van was stopped in the middle of the road or if he was attempting to yield to the deputy's vehicle.
Crego was taken to the hospital with lacerations on his head and face. The sheriff's office says he was scheduled to undergo surgery later on Wednesday.
The highway patrol is investigating the crash.

My niece is on Spring Break from college, and we were talking about the access to good vegan food while living in student housing. She said I was tantalizing her with recipes that she couldn't make. Poor hungry girl. I admit, most of my recipes would be pretty hard to prepare without an oven. :\
She needed nutritious and delicious food that could be made on a tight budget, with little effort. So, she came over to my kitchen and helped me create a recipe for when she returns to her dorm.
This is a simple rice and quinoa blend with a creamy almond sauce. It's filling too.
The entire dish can be made with just a blender and a microwave, in about 25 minutes. And, it boasts just 10 ingredients that most people will have in their pantry. Okay, maybe not most people, but the ingredients are pretty common vegan staples.
The entire experience was also very helpful for me, because my oven actually broke the other day. (Yes, I totally freaked out). Happily, I have learned that it is possible to cook quinoa and rice in a microwave; therefore, there is no need to panic if you are without a stove.
So, this post is dedicated to all of you wonderful readers -without ovens or rice cookers – who are hungry for a yummy home-cooked meal.

Warning against lucrative job offers in Spain |
Thursday, 10 September 2009 | |
The Hony Consul General for Sri Lanka in Madrid has informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka of a fraudulent scheme that offers lucrative jobs for foreigners including Sri Lankans in Spain. Part of the fraud is collecting purported legal fees for expediting the visa. According to the Hony Consul General for Sri Lanka in Madrid, this is a racket which is operated through mobile phones making it extremely difficult for the Spanish police to nab them. In light of these developments as reported by the Hony Consul General for Sri Lanka in Madrid, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to advice the general public to be extra cautious.
