Education and the Cemetery
Education! What is it? A great Irishman (all Irishmen are great as well as good) said education is a fine thing, but it is better to know something.
A mere earthworm, a professor of biology, said education, that is what a man learns in school and college, adds no more to what he consciously or subconsciously, really knows; and acts upon than would a thin coat of transparent varnish, added to the weight of an orange.
One of England's greatest men said "figures won't lie, but it has been my experience that there is nothing quite so deceptive as figures, unless it be facts."
Yet simple arithmetic is one of the things we all learn in school because it simply helps us to think straight about facts, and facts really do influence our actions. Even such intellectual giants as Edison, Rockefeller and Ford could not think very straight very long without figures.
Of course each of us secretly knows that we, too, can think very straight, but modesty prevents us from mentioning. Besides it is said that the Devil though he can think very straight acts very crooked and is therefore preeminently the biggest fool extant, and of course none of us want his reputation, even here in Chicago. Nevertheless we all like Chicago, don't we? Don't we really like her because she is really a great and good city? And only just wicked enough to make those who visit her feel quite at home? True she does not now offer us a Martina cocktail, but hasn't Professor A. S. Eve of McGill University given us dizzy arithmetic to take its place? Don't it make you delightfully dizzy to think that your wife is one million molecules of she who was Helen of Troy and then what a joyous sense of power accompanies the further thought that your wife knows that one million molecules of Julius Caesar is now you and respects you accordingly.
Besides a little of Professor Eve's simple arithmetic makes us see very clearly that if the whole human race could bathe at one time in Lake Ontario each man, woman and child would have sixty square feet to swim in and would raise the water in the bath tub less than half an inch.
Being cemetery men we perhaps unconsciously use a little simple mental arithmetic and know at once that a cemetery as large as Lake Ontario would without doubt be large enough to bury all the people in the world, and more than half of it could be used for roads and park-age.
Perhaps that is rather a large vision of the cemetery business but are we not in Chicago, where a world viewpoint is not uncommon and a US viewpoint very common?
From a US viewpoint a little simple arithmetic shows us a cemetery about fifteen miles square. Given all the money one cared to ask for and assured that the undertakers could and would do their part, are there not men here present who feel fully competent to operate a cemetery of that size?
A basic difficulty in cemetery management is the instability of the good old reliable gold dollar. How many cemetery trustees have solved this problem? How many lot owners have given serious thought to it?
Chicago has already organized all of her grave diggers into one union. She has vision. Is she planning to organize all her cemeteries under one management? Are not Chicago men usually leaders who can and do think straight and act straight.
The world buries about one-thirtieth (1/30) of its population each year. How much of her population does Chicago bury? Is not the answer to such a question necessary to the intelligent management of the cemeteries of any community?
I am willing to confess that I cannot vision so small a thing as a million molecules, can you? However when we talk about square feet we are down to brass tacks and know exactly what we are talking about. I have used the words "given all the money you cared to ask for"---can you vision that?
In 1921 I was talking to a very small group of men and offered to give a dollar to anyone of them who would tell me what a dollar was. One said it was a mark on a banker's book. Another replied "It's a joke". I tendered him 95 cents. Remember Gladstone said "There is nothing more deceptive than figures unless it be facts." A dollar is a fact, so is or was a ruble, or a mark, or a frank. (Through Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University, I am indebted to a Chicago man, Mr. Cecil F. Elmes, for the diagram)
Irresistible and probably beneficent economic forces are at work and reliable statisticians tell us that 90% of all the wealth in the US is now in the hands of 10% of its population. Most of us have to "count the pennies" and therefore it is easier for us to Vision a hundred pennies than a hundred million dollars. So let us take it easy and do our thinking in pennies about this bask economic fact of 90% of all the wealth of the US being in the hands of 10% of its population." That means, if we look at the US as a whole and think in pennies, that on the average when ten of its men, women and children are gathered together one will have nine hundred (900) pennies in his pocket and nine will on the average each have eleven (11) pennies in his pocket. That is a perfectly clear vision of the US as a whole and is down to brass tacks. A few years ago I visited a benevolently operated cemetery and the Superintendent being absent the sexton "showed me about." Before bidding him adieu I said "It strikes me that the price of your single graves is high and your large lots low" and he quickly replied "Oh Mr. Green we got our money from the poor and spend it on the rich."
Would you have called him an eleven (11) cent financier? He certainly would have deserved that name if he had been managing all the cemeteries of the US as one----but may not statisticians have found that in his community there were nine thousand (9,000) people with eleven (11) pennies, to one (1) with nine hundred (900).
About a quarter of a century ago an intimate friend of mine was offered a million dollars if he would tell a multimillionaire how to give away a million dollars without doing more harm than good. My friend reluctantly gave it up. In defense of my sex, I think the ladies present should know that my friend was a bachelor.
Another friend of mine, a millionaire and president of a cemetery, to whom a multimillionaire tossed his pocket book for my friend to play with, was so surprised that he mistook it for a brickbat and promptly fired it back. Mr. friend, however, though ordinarily a very genial gentleman, was over three-fourths of a century old.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie said it was a disgrace for a man to die rich and gave his money to the erection of library buildings and the pensioning of college professors.
I notice that the newspapers state that "Mr. Leopold Schepp, who made millions in coconuts and is now eighty-five years old" desires suggestions as to how he can best give away his remaining millions. Have any of you energetic active young men suggested to him that cemetery entrances are quite as harmless and nearly as useful as library buildings?
My experience is that unpleasant experience has taught at least one multimillionaire that some architects should attend a course of lectures on cemetery entrances.
Mr. O. P. Van Sweringen, the young man who in the railroad business, is now tossing hundreds of millions about as a professional juggler tosses baseballs, is quoted as saying, "Dollars don't have the attraction for me that they have for some people. I have enough of them. I am not sure whether to be rich is to be poor or to be poor is to be rich. I am inclined to believe the latter." His salary is twenty-five thousand ($25,000) per annum.
The newspaper reports seem to make it quite clear that Mr. Rockefeller has a fixed habit of giving a dime to any boy who happens to do him a favor. Is he afraid a larger sum might be fired back at him, or might produce another Harry Thaw, or is he trying to attract your attention to a very difficult and delicate art? The art of giving.
Are we not all getting our education every day in the University of Hard Knocks? Is Mr. Van Sweringen profiting from the lectures recently delivered in that University here in Chicago by Professors Loeb, Leopold and Shepard?
Does not the successful cemetery man really carry a mental attitude which may be quite accurately described as a basic religious, or a scientific Christian, or a Christian science mind?
Does he not aim to do the right thing at the right time in the right way?
Does he not aim to do some things better than they were ever done before?
Does he not aim to eliminate errors and to anticipate requirements?
Does he not aim to act with equanimity and in moderation and from reason rather than rule?
Does he not aim to work for the love of work and to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection?
Does this seem true? "We are all moved by an unseen hand, to an unknown end, for an unknown purpose. Do your work as well as you can and be kind-there is no greater wisdom."
Do you not hate, or at least dislike, me because perhaps I am trying to make you think thoughts you never thought to think before?
Is that education?

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by Wolf, Jul 26, 2005.
Great news. Hopefully Madden can re-unite with Dennis Miller!
Is he going to be on Countdown and Primetime with Chris Berman? I hope he's not replacing him.
I'm the only one in the world who actually liked Dennis Miller on MNF.
I just hope they dont put Marv Albert on NBC with Madden.
I actually liked dennis miller ..heck it made me go to the website and click the link of what we was talking about..of course I like history and stuff too.
I used to love Sunday Night football (despite Joey T), but it seems like they have replaced all that is good in the booth with Al Michaels. I'm not sure if those two egos can fit in the same stadium, much less the same booth.
I liked Mike Patrick and Paul McGuire. Where do they end up?
I'd like to see Patrick with Madden on NBC....I wouldn't be suprised to see McGuire on CBS or FOX on a second tier broadcast booth.
And Rich Gannon is calling it quits with the Raiders and joining the CBS broadcasting team..
My prediction for ESPN Monday Night Football:
Game 1 in 2006
The Dallas Cowboys vs. the Houston Texans from Texas Stadium. What did my teacher tell me in school? OH, YEAH.
"History repeats itself".
i dont like the new MNF team. I like Michaels but I find Theismann obnoxious and I cant stand those women sideline reporters getting in the coaches face at half time. Im just happy they dont have paul macguire again.
Separate names with a comma.

It's still a long time until National Signing Day but with the season coming to a close I figured now would be a good time to look at the top 20 SEC verbal commitments as of right now. If you enjoy the "recruiting" talk then make sure you check out our Top 10 Uncommited Recruits that we posted last week and our U.S. Army All-American Bowl notebook that went up on the site yesterday.
#1 D.J. Humphries/OT, Charlotte, NC
Commitment: Florida
Chad Simmons: Humphries has great feet and flexibility. He really gets in and out of his stance well and he can both run and pass block. He is very explosive off the ball and he can drive his opponents down the field.
#2 Landon Collins/S, Geismar, LA
Commitment: Alabama
NationalUnderClassmen.com: Fantastic explosion at the point of attack, Gets downhill fast on the run, has great ball skills to make the big play and to cover ground in the secondary. He is a scary hitter with great power and physicality like a linebacker.
#3 John Theus/OT, Jacksonville, Fl
Commitment: Georgia
EliteScoutingServices.com: He is big and athletic. Those are two traits you can't teach. He can play either tackle spot in college and excel.
#4 Keith Marshall/RB, Raleigh, NC
Commitment: Georgia
FinestPreps.com: Marshall possesses the cutting ability, quickness, burst and breakaway speed of a future All-American, but more importantly holds a GPA of over 4.0 and stands out just as much academically as he does athletically. He relies largely on this intelligence and vision to find the open seams in a defense. Then he uses natural athleticism to make defenders miss and burst into the open field. If this guy is allowed to get to the edge, WATCH OUT!
#5 Gunner Kiel/QB, Columbus, IN
Commitment: LSU
FinestPreps.com: His throws all have tremendous ball placement and he puts the ball where only his receiver can make a play on it. Kiel also does a good job of hitting his receiver in stride. Gunner also always seems to put perfect touch on the ball, whether he is lofting it over the head of helpless defenders or zipping it through traffic.
#6 Eddie Williams/S-ATH, Panama City Beach, FL
Commitment: Alabama
Tom Lemming: Big but not clumsy, he aggressively fills when stopping the run, will attack plays behind the line, can turn and run with the swiftest of receivers, and can handle tight ends in man coverage. He may grow into an LB
#7 Trey Williams/RB, Houston, TX
Commitment: Texas A&M
Scott Kennedy: Williams is a home-run threat with the ball in his hands. He has excellent change of direction, acceleration, and top end speed. He's a small back, but he's tough.
#8 Chris Black/WR, Jacksonville, FL
Commitment: Alabama
Tom Lemming: Chris is not the tallest WR around but uses his 36″ VJ to his great advantage. He brings speed, quickness, and creativity to the wide receiver position. He runs precise routes, has a second gear, accelerates quickly, and once he gets a half step on a defender that's when the fun starts.
#9 Shaq Roland/WR, Lexington, SC
Commitment: South Carolina
Chad Simmons: As a receiver, he has great body control and can go up and get a ball anywhere on the field. He has long arms, strong hands, and he is someone that can stretch the field.
#10 T.J. Yeldon/RB, Daphne, AL
Commitment: Alabama
CFBZ: Stood out at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He's very athletic and it takes more than one guy to bring him down. Makes tacklers miss in a variety of different ways.
#11 Geno Smith/CB, Atlanta, GA
Commitment: Alabama
Tom Lemming: Slightly built but there's not a better cover corner in the country. He explodes to the ball, shows good leaping ability, timing, and anticipation. He dominated everyone he went up against in 2010 and he's exceptional when the ball is in the air.
#12 Jonathan Bullard/DE, Shelby, NC
Commitment: Florida
PrepStar.com: It's hard to look across the class of 2012 and find a defensive end more productive than Bullard was while destroying the prep ranks in North Carolina last year as a junior. He's simply on another level.
#13 Channing Ward/DE, Aberdeen, MS
Commitment: Ole Miss
Scott Kennedy: Undersized at defensive end but with a good frame to grow, Ward makes up for his lack of bulk and strength with his athleticism and excellent technique coming off the ball. He rarely lets a blocker get into his chest and uses his hands well to set up a rip or swim move to effortlessly get around a blocker.
#14 Jonathan Taylor/DT, Millen, GA
Commitment: Georgia
Tom Lemming: In person he looks the part and on film you can see what all the hoopla is about. Taylor can split the double-team, redirects quickly and can stuff the run.
#15 Reggie Ragland/MLB, Madison, AL
Commitment: Alabama
Andrew Bone: Ragland is big athlete and reminds many people of former Alabama Butkus Award winner Rolando McClain. He has excellent size, speed and very physical.

Museum Brewery Queen's Ale Part II

And where might one acquire this cornucopia in a bottle?

- Woolpack Dave said...
Sid, you can't. You have to be a sporny git like Pete to be lucky enough to try things like that. He's even tasted Ratcliffe's ale. I hate him.
OK, I'm kidding, I don't hate Pete, and he did have to do this crazy trip half way round the world, falling into dirty canals, suffering fly infested islands and Brazilian prostitutes, and dodge pirates as an excuse to get near these great beers. Some people just go too far for attention.

- Mark said...
That sounds like quite nice a beer.
I'm interested in what Fuller's John says about 'sine waves'. I've often wondered if it was like wine in the way that it ages, having particular peaks at different stages.
It's quite a lavish addition to the Christmas pud! We've got Old Peculiar in ours this year.
- 18 November 2009 at 07:51
- Pete said...
Sorry Boggle. Very few bottles of it left. But I will be trying to find out when the version we brewed last week goes on sale, and where. And I'll let you know.

I keep want to start this comment with 'good' or 'nice' or 'great' but none of these seems strong enough, or appropriate enough for what you just posted.Just fantastic and mindblowing blog keep it up..!!!

I dunno WPD, it sort of feels like he hasn't suffered enough. In keeping with concepts like 'sine waves', perhaps there ought to be 'karmic balance' so, in order to partake in something as good as Queen's Ale, Pete has to drink a whole pack of Bud Lime or something detestable in beer. In a single sitting. On YouTube. That sounds like suffering to me...

If you're looking, don't try it on
By Jean Chatzky
Retailers run sales for one reason -- and it isn't what you think. More often than not, sales merely get you in the door, where stores easily trick you into buying more. That's the goal.
"Retailers are very skilled at stimulating impulse-purchase behavior," says Bryan Heathman, an author and consumer behavior expert. "If you can discipline yourself not to respond to impulse purchases, that's the No. 1 way to save."
However, buying-triggers go far beyond candy near the checkout line. When you recognize sophisticated retail ploys, you can cruise through any store -- warehouse to boutique -- with less of a headache and more money in your pocket.
Stores need the amount each person spends each visit, called "average transaction amount," to be as high as possible: drugstores, $15; grocery, at least $25; warehouse, topping $100. They do this by selling products with a variety of built-in profits. If you buy eggs on sale, but then grab some expensive, newfangled juice, the store wins.
Stores make less money or even lose money on individual sale items. Retailers select these crazy-cheap products, called "loss leaders," because they know you buy them often and will remember the price, says Amanda Setili, a consultant with Setili & Associates, which serves retailers and their suppliers. It's all done with the hope you'll buy high-profit items, too.
Take the $5 turkey. Around Thanksgiving, you can buy cheap turkeys, with one caveat -- a purchase of $25 or more.
Different sales generate different response rates. "The most compelling thing you can offer is something free," says Heathman. "If you say, 'Free MP3 player to the first 100 customers through the door,' that's going to get your highest response rate. The second highest response rate you get is from a 50-percent-off offer. The third highest is buy one, get one free."
Do the math, though, and you'll see that 50-percent-off and buy-one-get-one deals are essentially the same thing pricewise, even though the motives are different. One gets you in the door. The other urges you to stock up -- much like 10 for $10 offers -- whether you need to or not.
Because 50 percent off is a critical tipping point, assume that sales below that aren't necessarily great deals while any sale above it might be.
Still, loss leaders -- products sold below actual value -- remain the best deals. Purchase only these wild bargains and ignore everything else, and you can save serious money.
Anytime you feel a sudden urge to buy, look for impulse triggers. Grocery stores, including many warehouses, use a "golden horseshoe" layout, with products that are needed most shelved down the sides and across the back of the store. This setup requires shoppers to walk past numerous traps. "While there is a lot of dollar volume generated in those horseshoe areas, profit margins are driven more by impulse purchases," says Heathman.
Retailers design the front third of a grocery store for impulse buyers, but like highway speed traps, triggers sometimes pop up in other spots, usually as temporary cardboard displays.
The same is true in other stores. It's no coincidence retailers put clearance sales at the back or commonly needed merchandise on tables -- rather than shelves or racks -- just inside the door or in major aisles. Items displayed on tables sell much faster. "People are more likely to impulse shop from a table," says Lynn Switanowski-Barrett, a retail consultant with Creative Business Consulting Group.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong has told his close associates that he may admit to having doped so long as the U.S. Justice Department grants him immunity from potential perjury prosecutions.
Armstrong, who had repeatedly insisted he never doped or cheated during The Tour de France competitions, in order to preserve his squeaky-clean image, has given sworn testimony, under oath, denying he had ever doped. If he admits that he had, he could be charged with perjury.
According to the New York Times, Armstrong, "who this fall was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping and barred for life from competing in all Olympic sports," reportedly "has told associates and antidoping officials that he is considering publicly admitting that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career, according to several people with direct knowledge of the situation."
Armstrong would do so in order to "restore his eligibility so he can resume his athletic career" since Armstrong "has hopes of competing in triathlons and running events," which are "often sanctioned by organizations that adhere to the World Anti-Doping Code, under which Armstrong received his lifetime ban."
Antidoping experts told the Times that under that code, "an athlete might be eligible for a reduced punishment if he fully confesses and details how he doped, who helped him dope and how he got away with doping. But a reduced lifetime ban might decrease only to eight years or four, at best."
Two of Armstrong's associates told the Times Armstrong would only publicly admit he cheated if he is assured he will not be prosecuted for lying under oath.

This is the single most amazing piece of classical music i have ever heard. Its the sort of music you would hear in a film when the camera is panning across two armys opposing eachother, the good side and the bad side about to face off in a bloody battle.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Holy shit
You amaze me every time
Thank you notsparta :D! And again for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
By no means is this piece bad, it's just lacking.
With a name like "The Tank's Thunder" I was expecting a much darker and powerful piece. Instead I got a piece, while still dark, was much "brighter" than I was hoping for. The main problem was: it simply flowed to for its entirety. In most cases this is good, but this is another story. You didn't really recreate the raw power of the tank, and that's because it simply didn't have a point that reminded you of the pure might the title would suggest, as it flowed right on over where those points would have been. Now as I said the piece itself is not bad, I just felt that it needed something more, just to push it over the figurative edge.

Quite true Rastamun. I am not the first to agree and won't be the last. In my mind the story I had was... quite different and I saw a much more nobler, more symbolic degree then what is appropriate. More admiration then fear and destruction.
There is much i'd have liked to change about this song, sadly I have lost the original file and time constraints leaves me with no time to even attempt it. I am glad however that you enjoyed the piece.
Thank you for the review, I promise you will not find yourself thinking the same for the other pieces, or at least I hope you don't :D!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is a perfect theme to a "i have to live" type of game
overall, AWSOME!
Indeed, a defiant struggle theme. I don't quite honestly remember if that was the story for when I created it, but I would think so.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
oh... my god....
this... wow.
i'm speechless.
i heard many songs of many artists and only one guy left me speechless every time.
and that is you.
I'm thankful the tunes here have been able to entertain you GodForsakenSoul :). This is a rather old track but still one of my personal favs. If I was making it now, there would be quite a few things i'd change in terms of mastering and equalizing. But melodic wise I think it's still quite solid.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Raptor Ecology
Raptors and Wind Power
Project Description
Washington is experiencing rapid changes in the landscape in areas where relatively constant, high-velocity winds provide the opportunity to capture wind energy through construction of wind turbines. Many of these areas, particularly in shrub-steppe regions, were formerly unsuitable for other types of land use because of remoteness or topography. For the same reasons, many of these areas provide high quality wildlife habitats including raptor migration paths, nesting areas, and wintering habitats. Technology has improved wind turbine design and placement since the 1980s when studies led by Grainger Hunt identified turbine fatalities as a serious population threat to golden eagles and other raptors near Altamont Pass, California. However, wind turbines continue to be a unique disturbance and potential source of mortality to birds and bats because turbine blades extend into flight zones, the "bread and butter" niche these animals occupy during daily hunting, movements, and migration. Rotating turbine blades constantly change orientation and speed depending on wind conditions, further increasing potential hazards. Infrastructure associated with turbines including roads and powerlines may also affect avian behavior directly because of disturbance or indirectly due to habitat loss.
The most concentrated area of wind energy development in Washington is along the Columbia Gorge. This area is used by migrant and wintering raptors and a diverse nesting population including red-tailed hawks, Swainson's hawks, golden eagles, and ferruginous hawks. Implications of turbines within home ranges of these nesting raptors raise several questions: 1) Do these birds change their home range use after turbines are built? 2) Do they, or their young, experience fatal collisions with the turbines? If so, can fatality be explained as a function of the distance of the turbines to the nest and what part do flight skill and chance play in turbine avoidance? 3) What is the long-term viability and population contribution of raptor nest territories within wind power development zones? Ultimately, the answers to these questions will help us better recommend nest buffer distances before turbine construction, and assess population impacts of expansive turbine development even on the more common raptor species.
We began seeking answers to these questions in 2007 when we initiated a study in the Columbia Gorge where several wind projects were in various stages of construction. Our objectives were to: 1) test the utility of GPS telemetry in monitoring the movements and survival of adult raptors before and after turbine construction involving several wind projects; 2) quantify range use associated with existing turbines, and monitor survival and monitor nest activity and productivity of these birds; and 3) for raptors captured prior to turbine construction, evaluate pre-and post construction range use.
As of 2009, three golden eagles, nine red-tailed hawks, and six Swainson's hawks have been captured in the study. Four of these hawks are being monitored outside of the project area associated with other wind projects.
Key Findings
Fifteen of the eighteen monitored raptors occupied territories. Eight resident birds were captured prior to turbine construction, but only three of these birds have been monitored post-construction as a result of mortality (2), unknown loss of PTT signal (1), and delayed construction (2). The remaining eight birds have been monitored after turbine construction.
None of the telemetered raptors were known to have died in turbine collisions, although at least 4 red-tailed hawks, a golden eagle, and a prairie falcon were confirmed fatalities near turbines associated with these wind projects since the beginning of 2009. Eight PTTs remain active at the beginning of 2010.
What's New
We are presently analyzing movement and altitude data from this work. In spring, 2010, the study will change focus to examine ferruginous hawk range use associated with wind turbines on the Washington and Oregon sides of the Columbia River in a study funded by WDFW and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. We have captured and monitored three adult ferruginous hawks as part of the pilot work for this study. The effort is half of a study part of a larger cooperative effort with the wind industry, agency, and non-governmental organizations to address concerns related to adult and juvenile ferruginous hawk ecology in wind power project areas.
Funding for the project was provided through wind project mitigation monies from the Windy Point, Hoctor Ridge, and Bighorn wind projects.

Maybe we first need to spend a minute on the "classic-edition" of The Tivoli Advisor.
The Tivoli Advisor aims to bring information, knowledge
assets and factoids to the Tivoli and IBM software community. As
software strives to embrace new trends in technology, it becomes
increasingly more challenging to keep up with the multitude of changes
and functionality being provided. The Tivoli Advisor
aims to bridge this gap, and to provide articles to help its readers
harness these changes. By providing the information to you in high level
snapshots we aim to provide easily digestible and comprehensible
articles. Much of the content will be provided not only from The
Tivoli Advisor team, but from respected individuals in the IBM
Tivoli Software organisation and our peers. Coverage will extend over a
wide range of topics including Automation, Storage, and Security.
In the past, we have leveraged a magazine-style publication of The
Tivoli Advisor - you can download the first 15 issues here: The Tivoli Advisor in PDF . However, in todays ever-increasing dynamic world, a quarterly publication is not the best way to publish content. In addition, there is already so much information and collateral out there: Whitepapers, assets on OPAL (the IBM open process automation library), forums and articles on developerWorks, etc. An there are conferences, user groups and business partners that provide a tremendous value to our solutions as well.
Thinking about this for a while, we decided o revitalize The
Tivoli Advisor in a new way, using a group blog. This allows us to not be dependent on publication cycles (and funding, btw) and be able to dynamically link content that already exists in other places. Obviously, we don't want to replicate stuff - we rather want to act as an Information Broker for the wider Tivoli community. This is where we feel we could provide value to you, our reader.
Finally, a blog-style should also allow our readership - you - to communicate closer with us - the editorial board. We have tried to solicit feedback on the magazine (letters to the magazine), but honestly we haven't received a lot of feedback. On the other hand, we received may encouraging emails and had lots of discussions during events like user group meetings. Commenting on blog entries should reduce the barrier of engaging with The
Tivoli Advisor. Again, we feel that such interaction amonst the technical community has a lot of value - for customers, partners as well as Tivoli software. We are looking forward hearing from you !
Hope this works out for all of us.

Something else? I don't see any mention of table formats in a very quick skim of the discussion you linked to. PostgreSQL will /never/ be able to compete with MyISAM on raw speed of small, simple operations. There might things that can be made faster than they are right now, but I really doubt it'll ever surpass MyISAM. My mental analogy is asking an abseiler, who is busy clipping in and testing their gear at the top of a bridge, why they aren't at the bottom of the canyon with the BASE jumper yet. The BASE jumper will always get there faster, but the abseiler will always get there alive. If you're talking about InnoDB or another durable, reliable table structure then I'd be interested in the mechanics of what MySQL's truncates are doing. -- Craig Ringer

Unfortunately, we cannot combine the two files together without losing the multi-language support. It took a lot of hoop jumping to get it to the point it is now, and it still won't work in Japanese :-( (hence why we distribute a different copy for Japanese users). Regards, Dave

As a former parks commissioner for the city of Santa Clarita, I am deeply passionate about ensuring our residents enjoy quality recreation facilities, beautiful outdoor space and a healthy way of life.
As a council member and now mayor, I've seen many of our dreams become a reality, from cross-town trails and open space to award-winning parks and programs.
This is why I am such a supporter of our local Newhall and Canyon Country community centers, which deliver first-rate educational, recreational and social classes that help enrich the lives of community members of all ages.
From my days with the Parks Commission to my time on the City Council, I've always believed that a healthy Santa Clarita is a happy Santa Clarita, and the smiling faces at our community centers are proof.
Each state-of-the-art facility offers a mix of fun activities and vital resources: from after-school programs for youth, to technology classes that help people better navigate the digital world, our community centers consistently offer programs that benefit Santa Clarita residents.
The Newhall and Canyon Country community centers will provide several new and returning programs in 2014 for a virtually unlimited range of low- and no-cost programming aimed at keeping residents active and inspired all year long.
The Canyon Country Community Center first opened its doors on Jan. 12, 2013, and in one year has gained more than 1,550 active members. The center is home to the only XerPro Sports Wall in Los Angeles County, which features an interactive, touch-activated wall that helps improve sports skills and keeps kids active indoors, and it is the only facility in Santa Clarita to offer the popular POUND Rockout Workout fitness classes for adults.
This year, community kids under seven years old can enjoy free "drop-n-play" on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Canyon Country Community Center. Residents can also book the center on Saturdays or Sundays for fun-themed birthday parties.
Additionally, parents can celebrate Valentine's Day together with Parent's Night Out/Kids Night In ($15), which entertains kids with dinner, a movie, crafts and games at the Community Center while parents enjoy a night out.
On Saturday, Feb. 22, the Canyon Country Community Center will take its fun on the road with an all-day excursion to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library featuring "SPY: The Secret World of Espionage Exhibit."
The excursion is available at $28 for adults and $24 for children including transportation and admission.
The Newhall Community Center is offering several fantastic programs in 2014, all located in the heart of Santa Clarita's most historic neighborhood.
Here, residents ages five and above from across the city can take part in numerous educational, recreational and enriching experiences, including L.E.A.P. (Leisure Enrichment Activities Program), a popular after-school program that is available in two sessions during the school year to provide homework help, arts, crafts, games and computer time.
The Newhall Community Center offers several specialized programs to suit different age groups. Kids age 5-12 can stop by for creative art, music and movement activities, organized games and more with Saturday Drop-In programming, held Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Local youth ages 13-17 can also shape their future with the center's dynamic Teen Program, which offers homework assistance and the chance to socialize with peers and participate in activities and community service projects that encourage education, smart choices and a healthy lifestyle.
Several creative programs are available at the Newhall Community Center, including its popular beginning and intermediate strings music workshops on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a new program scheduled for 2014 called Creative Circle.
Spanning eight Saturdays, this fun workshop will stretch attendees' creativity with crafts like sewing, knitting, painting and art creations, all using recycled materials.
The center's current boxing programs will also continue into 2014, including Boxing Fitness classes for adults and kids 8 and older, and Introduction to Boxing classes that provide skill and technique development, circuit training and drills in special sessions for adults and kids.
Santa Clarita's community centers also provide a great place for inter-generational gatherings. Once a month, the Newhall Community Center hosts free family events that bring together family members of all ages for a fun and interactive time.
From grandparents to grandchildren, attendees can bond over movies, dancing, music and more while surrounded by friends and neighbors.
For more information, including pricing and scheduling details for the Canyon Country Community Center, visit santa-clarita.com/cccc. To learn more about the Newhall Community Center's programming and pricing, visit santa-clarita.com/ncc.

A January Challenge: Clean Eating to Kickoff the New Year
It's officially 2015, which is a year that seemed to take so long to get here over the past 365 days. A lot of that – no, basically all of that – had to do with the food holiday project that I took on in 2014. Cooking through over 400 food holidays, all while working a full time job and still writing additional posts and maintaining a social life, was very difficult and stressful. More than anything, though, it caused me to eat a lot less healthy than I normally would. And then I was so busy, exercise took a backseat.
It was in the last couple of months of the food holiday project that I got excited for it to be over. More than just to get some sanity back, I also wanted to jump into clean eating right then and there. So the last months of the challenge was just me biding my time until I could start fresh.
I am so incredibly excited for 2015, you all have no idea. Joining me in January, and who knows, maybe beyond (!!), is my friend Karen (check out her intro below!). We decided to share this space for the month since we are both doing a restart and thought it would be fun to talk about the clean eating path each of us are taking.
For my part, I'm taking part in BuzzFeed's Clean Eating Challenge. It's a two-week detox that's about eating right, with foods that'll sustain your energy and make you feel great. I chose this plan because BuzzFeed just made it easy. They tell you when to make what meal (even telling you when to prep the night before), and included convenient PDF grocery lists. Plus, the meals and snacks sound really good. For me, that makes a huge difference.
I'll be keeping you all up to date on how it's going, recapping my experience every other day. If you are also doing the BuzzFeed Clean Eating Challenge, let me know in the comments below so we can encourage each other!
Hi there! I'm Karen and I will be joining my pal Jennifer on this clean eating adventure.
I am no stranger to hitting the restart button in January. Even though I maintain a fairly balanced diet and exercise regimen throughout the year, I just can't resist the urge to overindulge when the holiday season hits. By January 1st (or 2nd, or 3rd), I am ready for some structure to get me back on track.
I considered doing the Clean Eating Challenge, but menu-based diets don't usually work for me. First, I am vegetarian and most clean-eating diets focus heavily on lean meats. Second, the lack of flexibility doesn't work for my husband and me. We love to plan and create meals at home that we both enjoy. For my guy, that usually means carbs have to be on the plate.
Based on previous experience, I've learned that a few hard and fast rules are all I need to recover from the holidays and feel great about what I'm eating. Here's what I've come up with for this round:
- No alcohol
- No coffee
- No dessert
- Take it easy on the carbs
- Count calories on My Fitness Pal
I also wear a FitBit, so I'll check that to make sure I am averaging 10,000 steps a day/70,000 a week. That way, I won't feel so guilty when I cave and eat a cookie at work (so much temptation!).
I'm looking forward to sharing my progress and what delicious things we're cooking at home. Let me know what healthy meals you're eating, too!

Good luck to you! Work is the tenth circle of Hell when you're trying to eat cleanly. =(
You can do it! We are making a lot of changes as well!
I envy you and look up to you for doing this challenge! I could maybe do no alcohol but I could not give up coffee in this freezing weather… I will look at the challenge though and maybe do it as many days in a row as I can 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
I try to eat clean in general. I have my cheat days, though, because life is no fun without treats.
Good luck on your journey this 2015. I am sure you will do great. I have failed so many times with my cleanses and I will try your suggestions. Thanks!
Have fun with the new project!!!!!!
Sorry, but I can't get interested……..have enjoyed the recipes up to now.
Good luck………
Good luck with your eating clean challenge. I would have a hard time cutting out the coffee.
This is a great goal for the new year. Good luck to you on eating clean!!
I am trying very hard to get back to clean eating and away from processed foods. It is hard sometimes.
I love using My fitness pal. It was so easy to keep track of what I was eating
Change is so hard! But this time of year it is a good reminder to make some effort to improve one's life!
I will still be drinking hot tea for sure! And lot of sparkling water. 🙂
Absolutely rooting for you girls!! I don't think I could give up coffee AND dessert, even for two weeks! The other stuff, sure, but not my coffee!!!
Good luck on your clean eating adventure. I wouldn't survive the no alcohol, no coffee part, but I wish you all fantastic success!
Good luck to both of you! January provides new beginnings and inspiration to hit the "reset button"
Happy New Year!
Clean eating is the way to do it. I have been doing that for almost two years now and it feels good. Great way to start your year
I struggle so much eating clean but I feel like it's a must now! Good luck I'm sure you will do great, can't wait to read more!
Good for you. Neat challenge and you will do great.
Good luck on your clean eating journey. I am trying to eat a lot better myself these past few months, but really slacked off in December. It's time to jump back on the healthy foods though and hopefully gain some of my energy back!
Clean eating is always a great way to kick off a new year! Good luck!
Without sounding like an alcoholic, I couldn't do a "no alcohol or no coffee" I mean, I COULD, but.. yea, esp coffee, coffee keeps me awake and since sleep isn't my friend, coffee keeps me functioning. However, best of luck to you both!
This sounds like a very neat challenge. I didn't realize Buzzfeed had those types of challenges and the fact they create a grocery list, prep instructions AND the recipe for clean eating – sounds like a win all around. GOOD LUCK!
I love this plan for clean eating and your built in support system. I need something similar in my life. I printed out the BuzzFeed one and I'm going to see if we can make it happen. 🙂
I am the same way- by late December I am TOTALLY ready to hit restart and get back to healthy eating!
How fun that you're sharing space! Good luck to you both with your clean eating goals for 2015!
This looks like a great challenge. Good luck to you!!
Those items are so hard to give up…but you can do it. Good luck with your goals.
Good luck with your clean eating goals. The one thing I'm giving up in January is soda pop. It's going to take a lot of will power, but I'm trying. We can both do it!
La Croix saved my life! They are SO SO good. I am trying to ditch soda too and swear by them. There are other brands with natural sparkling flavored waters too that are amazing. I'm taste testing a bunch! 😉
Sounds like you will be off to a great start, I love MyFitness Pal. It is truly a good community!
Thank you for sharing!!
I'm hearing a lot of people going with clean eating this month. Great practice to follow!
We're clean eating this year and I'm so excited. My husband lost a lot of weight over the past year.
I really need to start eating clean. I am now 47 and it is not as easy to stay in shape and not gain weight/
Oh I will have to look into this! I love clean eating – and I'm always up for challenge!
I love stumbling into these food challenges!
I'll have to drop back in and keep up with how you're doing!
Good luck with the clean eating challenge!
I love my carbs too much to commit to this 😉
Oh this food challenge is going to take some serious dedication!
Good luck to you!!!

The Nesquik Bunny might typically offer a way to upgrade from standard milk, but this week, the mascot's products are proving to be a horrible additive. Thanks to an ingredient from one of its suppliers that may have been tainted, Nestle has been forced to recall numerous containers of Nesquik because they may contain Salmonella. The company made the announcement earlier this week, leaving consumers to frantically check their boxes to figure out whether they're in danger of being stuck in the bathroom for hours.
According to Patch, all of the recalled products have an expiration date of BEST BEFORE Oct 2014. Symptoms of Salmonella infections include abdominal cramps, fever and diarrhea. More often than not, no long-term consequences come from contracting the illness, but those affected are still being encouraged to seek medical treatment in order to be on the safe side.
Because the ingredient in question came from one of its suppliers, this whole mess likely wasn't Nestle's fault, but still, the company has provided a number (800-628-7679) people can call to find out more information and set up exchanges. There haven't been any reports of sickness thus far, but that could change within the next few days.
Here's to hoping this entire mix-up passes without any serious injuries or any serious loss of resources.

b.1256 Paris, Paris, France
d.7 Feb 1317 Chateau De Vincennes, France
Family tree▼
m. 27 May 1234
m. 1272
Facts and Events
Robert of Clermont (1256 – 7 February 1317) was created Count of Clermont in 1268. He was the son of King Louis IX of France and Margaret of Provence. In 1272, Robert married Beatrice of Burgundy, heiress of Bourbon and had the following issue:
During his first joust, in 1279, Robert suffered head injuries which rendered him an invalid for the remainder of his life.
Robert is considered the founder of the House of Bourbon, a family which, with the passing of centuries came to govern as Kings of Navarre (1572-1830), Kings of France (1589–1848), Kings of the Two Sicilies (1735–1860), Dukes of Parma (1748–1796 and 1847–1859), grand dukes of Luxembourg (1964–present) and Kings of Spain (1700–present).
Robert is mentioned in the prologue of the Coutumes de Beauvaisis by Philippe de Beaumanoir.
He was buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded Review
January 10, 2011 - I'm getting a little tired of all these filler Kingdom Hearts games. Don't get me wrong, I love the series. But every time a new one comes out I can't help but think, "Just give me Kingdom Hearts 3 already!" What makes Kingdom Hearts Re:coded interesting is that this should have been a game we got years ago as an episodic cell phone game.

Today is a different story. I'm moving into my own place where I'll live by myself for the first time in my life. I just started a new job. I'm trying to write my first novel. These are all areas of my life where I'm growing, reclaiming my life for myself. However, it leaves me with feelings of anxiety and depressed. That was part of how I realized some years ago that something was wrong. My IC has been supportive of me not jumping back on AD's without good reason and even she feels it worth doing...at least for a period time until I get through this period where I'm going so many changes at once. The hardest part back then was admitting to myself and others. I almost fell into the trap of feeling like it was a failure of some kind that I need to use AD's again. It's not. It's just a fact of my nature. I will be challenged with this from time to time. Not pleasant to accept but I do.
For anyone else struggling with those feelings all I can say take whatever help you need in whatever form you can. IC, AD's, hobbies, posting here, etc. We should all be good to ourselves.
You have a lot going on, but you should be proud of yourself for your accomplishments.

Technology Industry Analyst Jeff Kagan is available to speak with reporters, or may be quoted through this release.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 24, 2013
Charlie Ergen, Chairman of DISH Network, wants to acquire Lightsquared wireless spectrum according to Bloomberg on May 21, 2013.
Principal analyst Jeff Kagan offers comment on this story.
"Lightsquared was a great idea. It was going to solve a growing problem of limited wireless spectrum for large and small carriers. The problem was the particular spectrum that Lightsquared had interfered with other spectrum assigned to industries like GPS and navigation. So even though this is a great idea and the need is real and growing, this particular spectrum meant LightSquared struck-out even before it got up to bat," says wireless analyst Jeff Kagan.
"Now Charlie Ergen of DISH Network enters the picture. DISH is getting very involved with the acquisition of various properties that can both expand and change what they do. DISH Networks looks like it intends to grow beyond satellite TV," says Technology analyst Jeff Kagan.
"DISH is currently also in a battle with Softbank to acquire Sprint Nextel and Clearwire spectrum. That leads me to believe DISH is just getting started. I think we can expect to see DISH making several more moves and we should expect to see some major changes as the company transforms over the next few years if Ergen wins these battles," says Jeff Kagan.
"We don't yet know what Dish Network will look like when the dust settles over the next several years, but one thing is for sure, it will provide much more than just satellite television. It will also offer wireless services, delivering television that way, in addition to potentially operating one of the nations largest wireless carriers. Keep your eyes on DISH Network. Things are going to start getting interesting," says Kagan.

He was wearing a black ski mask, black coat, black pants, and dark colored gloves. He was holding a handgun when he entered. He approached the counter and demanded the cash. The employee took the money out of the register and put it on the counter. The suspect picked up the money, left the business, and ran west from the store.
