What are you eating/cooking/wanting to eat right now?
edited February 2011 in Non-Animal Collective Discussion
So yeah, what are you eating? What are you going to be eating? What are you cooking? Let's talk about our tummies! I'm going to have stuffed shells for dinner and am pretty excited about it.
i have butter and mustard in the fridge. thinkin about making me some buttard.
Ahh, here's the origin of buttard! I had catfish and hush puppies and sweet tea.
I love hush puppies! and the stuffed shells were great. I also ate a spoonful of chocolate frosting.
what are hush puppies exactly? i've heard of them but cannot remember. I had salad rolls tonight, and some skim milk:D huzzah for grocery shopping!
hush puppies are cornmeal, flour, onions, salt and leavening and are fried. They are tasty little buggers. Thanks to Shinsy I now want to eat a funnel cake,
I am eating some chocolate. But when you say Hush Puppies, my Canadian mind thinks Slush Puppies. "mm, Slurpee's."
Haha, I've actually only had one funnel cake in my life, but it was delicious. We went up to the booth and there was an extensive list of toppings, and it said we could get everything on it for the same price. When we ordered it and said we wanted everything on it they looked at us weird so I just said "uhh...without cherries." I haven't had a slush puppy in forever!
SLUSH PUPPIES! BLUE RASPBERRY WITH EXTRA SHOCKER! Sometimes they call funnel cakes "elephant ears". I had them at one of the Disney World waterparks once. It was just delicious and deep fried and covered in icing sugar and chocolate sauce with ice cream on top. (it's not surprising i was a little overweight that year...)
wow...what funnel cake stories! never heard them called 'elephant ears' before. Nor did I know there were tons of toppings!!! I've only had them at the local fair with powdered sugar.....
I like slush puppies. [i]Back in my day,[/i] when you had to walk to school uphill in the snow, barefoot, our choices were cola, something red, and something green, if you were lucky. Now they've got BLUE flavor. I didn't eat a lot of Slush Puppies but it's imbedded in my memory. I liked Otter Pops. Green Ones.
Blue flavor is the best! I haven't had an otter pop in longer than forever. In middle school we had this PE teacher named Mr. Starkins who used to sell them to kids and called them Starky pops. He was creepy.
I used to get them in the summer all the time at the outdoor water park when I was a tyke. Mm, blue raspberry.
[quote="Shinsy"] In middle school we had this PE teacher named Mr. Starkins who used to sell them to kids and called them Starky pops. He was creepy.[/quote] that made me cringe, that is really creepy. blue is normally my favorite flavor of anything.
[quote="we tigers"] blue is normally my favorite flavor of anything.[/quote] DAMN STRAIGHT.
[quote="we tigers"][quote="Shinsy"] In middle school we had this PE teacher named Mr. Starkins who used to sell them to kids and called them Starky pops. He was creepy.[/quote] that made me cringe, that is really creepy.[/quote] Well it wasn't really that bad. He sold them to us after we ran the mile, everyone wanted something cold and it was pretty nice of him. I think it's just his name that's creepy.
aw, that isn't creepy. What a nice reward! I just pictured him doing it after school in the alley behind it or something.
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1419/123 ... c1953d.jpg I want Red Bean Cake and thats all! I love it. nom nom nom
That reminds me of mochi ice cream, which would be soooooo good right now. All I have is kettle corn and I think it's making me sick.
I ate some turkish figs today and they are some of the most delicious things i've ever tasted. I mean. I had no idea how much fig newton's ruined the complex flavors of a fig.
I want Thanksgiving food for dinner...turkey, mashed potatoes + gravy, and cranberry sauce for dinner, but with some weird-ass dessert combination like cinnamon buns with sherbet. I also remember these epic sushi rolls I had when I visited my sister. I wish I could have those right now and eat them with something random like apple cider and croissants. Or just a whole can of Reddi Whip, nothing else. mmmm
That sounds delicious!
that makes me think, Dusty, i've been eating lots of sushi lately with ginger beer. A similar combo. That does sound delicious and exciting, your meals that is!
I have a fig tree in my yard, Tiggles, but it isn't turkish, it's just georgian. Brown turkey, I think. Your delight at eating figs made me think of the first time I ate dates, sliced open, with cream cheese in the middle. Oh WOWWWW amazingly delicious. Especially a little warm from your backpack after a hike through the woods and with some nice cold well water (or branch water, as they call it here).
^^ that sounds yummy. I never had dates with cream cheese. I love figs though. I love eating exotic fruits like that.
that's fantastic, wini. Someday i'll have to eat your fresh figs. Do you ever bake anything with them? I was thinking you could make some great things out of figs. I love dates too! I've never had them with cream cheese before...
If I had your address I could mail you a jar of figs, carefully packed in bubble wrap. Or you could just come visit in the summer and enjoy the baking sauna of Georgia.
And to stay on topic: I had a very tasty black bean burrito yesterday that had tomatoes and cheese in it. It was grilled so it was crispy on one side. We got a sabroso guacamole which has the jalapenos and tomatoes and lettuce on the side. Yum. What are the Mexican restaurants like in Australia, what with you being so very far from Mexico?
I thought I sent you my address, wini?? I can't recieve packages for a while anyways because I have an impending vacation.
Mexian resturants in Australia.. I know, theres a portugese resturant called Nandos which my sister and brother love going to (we are of portugese desent) and it apparently has really tasty chicken. I don't enjoy alot of foods so I don't really know what to say. I haven't really gone to any Mexian resturants so recently. Sorry, I can't answer the question properly! - I want freshly baked scones with strawberry jam and whipped cream.
you guys eat strange food. my food sounds lame. I'm eating water crackers. ALSO. just learned today that Poutine is a Canadian thing. Why the hell aren't you americans putting gravy and cheese on your french fries and calling it "POO-TEEN?" ...yeah it's pretty silly.
yeah, no poutine for us here. Maybe along the border, I dunno. There is a website called, I think, Why You Are Fat and it has a photo of a poutine cake.
poutine?? I've never even heard of it. It sounds dirty. Gravy and cheese...gross. My favorite kind of fries that you get at a tavern around here have cheese, bacon, sour cream, and ketchup on them...mmmmmm...I want some of those right about now.
Poutine is just about the most delicious thing you can get at the exhibition. It's french fries with gravy and melted cheese curd, which sounds really disgusting, but trust me, it definitely isn't. It'll stop your heart, but it is so good. I'm eating some strawberry/pineapple/orange sorbet right now, and let me tell you, it is delicious.
i just had some BOK CHOY and now i'm going to eat some "imagine Whirled Peace" ben and jerry's. (all the good flavors are only in the states:( )
I think the combination of the two items cancel each other out. So, you just ate nothing. Damnit, now I want ice cream.
Havin' beef Bulgogi and Shin Ramyun. Got out dem chopsticks. I want to bake some breads soon.
I ated the ice cream it wuz good and doggy had some tooo but only vanillas. But I want to hear more about what Phantom is/was eating.
Ch-ch-check it out on wikipedia. Korean food.
check check check it out.
w-w-w-w-what's it all about?
Have any of you ever had Vegemite? The aussie spread. Its really salty but good. Its ilegal in America you know cause theres only one other thing that is that salty and pregnant ladies eat it. I don't know its a wierd reason. You Americans confuse me! hahahaha Yeah I was just wondering that. Once these aussie radio hosts called up an american and said 'I'll sneak you in some vegemite!' 'Whats vegemite' 'Its a spread. I can sneak you some across the boarder' 'Do you have any rainbow? Can I have some rainbow?' - Um, yeah, that was confusing. Is rainbow a drug?
i'm not sure about the rainbow thing. I guess it could be code? I've heard of vegemite and that it's disgusting, but I had no idea its illegal here. Interesting.
I prefer Marmite! I eat it when my body tells me to eat it (I am a zombie inside a brain). It isn't illegal and can be found in major grocery stores. It's awesome on hot buttered toast! But not Terror Toast! The only weird salty thing that American pregnant ladies eat is the blood of Australian child, fermented and stuffed into a pig intestine casing. I have heard of many drugs but not rainbow. That just makes me think of skittles. It may be the latest kind of blotter acid but who knows.

lolololololol. as Grizzles would say.
O_O I think... I don't know what I think at this point. That was very G.O. of you.
[img]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4486841955_dc34a1ff21_m.jpg[/img] I gave myself a little Dutch Maid-style Marmite hat.
UHH OKAY THEN btw just made your collage expect a manila envelope soon.
 [size=85]you don't like my marmite chapeau[/size]
I personally find it adorable and might be a little jealous.

Technology Mobile Phone News
Today's technology scene seems overheated to some. Apple is the most valuable company on earth. Software apps are reaching tens of millions of users within weeks. Major technology names like Research in Motion and Nokia are being undone by rapid changes to their markets. Underlying these developments: the unprecedented speed at which mobile computers are spreading.
Presented below is the U.S. market penetration achieved by nine technologies since 1876, the year Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone. Penetration rates have been organized to show three phases of a technology's spread: traction, maturity, and saturation.
Those technologies with "last mile" problems—bringing electricity cables or telephone wire to individual homes—appear to spread more slowly. It took almost a century for landline phones to reach saturation, or the point at which new demand falls off. Mobile phones, by contrast, achieved saturation in just 20 years. Smart phones are on track to halve that rate yet again, and tablets could move still faster, setting consecutive records for speed to market saturation in the United States.
It is difficult to conclude categorically from the available data that smart phones are spreading faster than any previous technology. Statistics are not always available globally, and not every technology is easily tracked. Also, because smart phones have not yet reached market saturation, as electricity and television have, the results are still coming in.
The Sudden Rise of the Smart Phone
BellSouth launched the IBM Simon, with its rudimentary touch screen, back in 1993, but the era of the smart phone in America really began in 2002, when existing PDAs took on the ability to make phone calls. That year RIM shipped its first BlackBerry with phone features, Handspring launched its Palm-OS-powered Treo line, Microsoft shipped its Pocket PC Phone Edition, and mobile data technology such as GPRS became increasingly widespread.
Four and a half years later, in late 2006, the quarter before Apple announced its now-iconic iPhone, only 715, 000 smart phones were sold, representing just 6 percent of U.S. mobile-phone sales by volume. Up to that point, the smart phone was spreading not much faster than personal computers had in the preceding decades, and more slowly than radio decades before.
That changed when Apple's iPhone sold 1.12 million units in its first full quarter of availability, despite prices starting at $399. Year over year, the market share of smart phones almost doubled, to 11 percent of U.S. mobile-phone sales. Now Nielsen reports that smart phones represent more than two-thirds of all U.S. mobile-phone sales. Nielsen also reports that 50 percent of all U.S. mobile-phone users—which equates to about 40 percent of the U.S. population—now use smart phones.
These figures show that smart phones, after a relatively fast start, have also outpaced nearly any comparable technology in the leap to mainstream use. It took landline telephones about 45 years to get from 5 percent to 50 percent penetration among U.S. households, and mobile phones took around seven years to reach a similar proportion of consumers. Smart phones have gone from 5 percent to 40 percent in about four years, despite a recession. In the comparison shown, the only technology that moved as quickly to the U.S. mainstream was television between 1950 and 1953.

Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering
The Department of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering & Technology offers two graduate programs leading to the Master of Science degree: either a M.S.I.E. in industrial engineering or M.S.Mf.E. in manufacturing engineering.
These degree programs respond to a wide range of manufacturing and service industry needs.
Each program has a graduate coordinator. The admission requirements for each are stated in the following program statements.
Industrial Engineering
The Department of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering & Technology offers a graduate program leading to the M.S.I.E. degree stressing the role of industrial engineers as problem solvers at managerial and staff levels in both manufacturing and service industries. The program offers students the opportunity to customize a plan of study, beyond an IE core, based on the student's educational background and career objectives. Courses will be drawn from such disciplines as engineering, science, mathematics, and business administration.
Admission is selective and is open to holders of an undergraduate degree in engineering, science or mathematics who meet Graduate School admission requirements. Students without an IE undergraduate degree may be required to make up undergraduate deficiencies. Those who do not have an engineering degree should have worked in an engineering environment for at least three years. International graduates should have a TOEFL score of 550 for unconditional admission and a score of 52 on part 1 of the test. Both part-time and full-time students are welcome.
Degree Requirements
The total program is 30 semester hours of graduate-level work of which a minimum of 18 hours must be taken from IME designated courses, including 3 semester hours of a project course to demonstrate ability to identify, define and solve unstructured IE-related problems. Most entering students who do not have the undergraduate degree in IE must complete IME 500, Engineering Economy and Costs; other courses may also be required. These will count towards graduate degree requirements. A 36-hour, non-project program is also available.
A course of study must be prepared by each student in consultation with the academic advisor and must be approved by the department as early as possible but not later than the beginning of the second semester of study at Bradley.
Manufacturing Engineering
The Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering and Technology offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering. The objective of the program is to educate professionals who will design, build, operate, and control world-class manufacturing systems with enhanced productivity and competitiveness.
The program is structured with five interrelated areas: design, materials, processes, systems, and automation and integration.
Students applying for admission to the program must have a baccalaureate degree in engineering or science and must meet the grade point requirements of the Graduate School. Transcripts of all prior work at the college level and two letters of recommendation must accompany the application. All applicants will be considered on an individual basis. Successful applicants will have a background in the areas of processes, materials, mathematics, mechanics, computer science, and manufacturing systems. If a candidate does not have the required level or breadth of preparation in the areas specified above, the candidate may be admitted conditionally and will be advised of appropriate preparatory courses or conditions for full unconditional entrance to the program.
A total of 33 graduate credit hours is required to complete the program. Of the total credit hours:
- A minimum of 15 semester hours must be taken from the list entitled Manufacturing Engineering Areas. At least one course must be taken from each of the five manufacturing engineering areas. Selected topic courses and professional projects do not fulfill this requirement.
- Six semester hours should be devoted to thesis work. If a student elects not to undertake a thesis, a minimum of 3 semester hours must be devoted to project work.
- A minimum of 3 semester hours will be taken in advanced mathematics.
- A minimum of 6 semester hours must be taken outside of the program. A list of suggested courses is available from the graduate coordinator.
The student must file and secure approval for a plan of study with the manufacturing graduate advisory committee prior to completing 9 semester hours. Such a plan will specify the courses to be taken and the proposed thesis or project topic. In the event that a change in the plan is desired, such a change can be accomplished by filing a request for amendment with the advisory committee. This amendment must be approved prior to taking the alternative course. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate their capacity to draw upon and integrate their knowledge from all courses presented for their degree in a written comprehensive examination. Scheduling, grade reporting, and retakes will conform to the rules of the Graduate School.
Manufacturing Engineering Areas
- IME 590 Geometric Modeling
- IME 591 Design for Manufacturability
- IME 592 Tribology
- IME 531 Nonmetallic Materials
- IME 533 Composite Materials
- IME 541 Forming Processes
- IME 543 Materials Removal Processes
- IME 545 Joining and Fabrication
- IME 563 Process Engineering
- IME 568 Introduction to Expert Systems and Artificial Intelligence
- IME 583 Production Planning and Control
Automation and Integration
- IME 553 Advanced Computer Aided Manufacturing
- IME 555 Computer Integrated Manufacturing
This is the official catalog for the 2009-2010 academic year. This catalog serves as a contract between a student and Bradley University. Should changes in a program of study become necessary prior to the next academic year every effort will be made to keep students advised of any such changes via the Dean of the College or Chair of the Department concerned, the Registrar's Office, u.Achieve degree audit system, and the Schedule of Classes. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of the current program and graduation requirements for particular degree programs.

Developing Dedicated Followers of Jesus Christ
A Servant's Heart Food Pantry offers emergency food to residents of Melrose.
Hours of Operation
Individuals may come to the Food Pantry twice each month. A photo ID is requested on your first visit only. The Pantry is open to residents of Melrose.
Every Friday, 10:00 - 11:30am
3rd Friday of the Month, 5:00 - 6:00pm
with a Community Dinner following
*The pantry is closed on or near certain holidays.
About the Pantry
The Servant's Heart Food Pantry was born out of a desire to serve and assist struggling families in the city of Melrose. In 1996 the first food was distributed from a broken down three-shelf bookcase in the basement of the church to just 5 families. Over time word spread and the number of families who frequented the food pantry grew. Ten years later there were nearly 70 families receiving food each month. What began with a few volunteers and a bookcase of food has now grown to countless hours of volunteer assistance and many more shelves of food. Today the pantry supplies food regularly to over 150 families.
We rely solely on food and financial donations to meet the needs of those in the greater Melrose community, and we're staffed completely by volunteers. In 2002 St. Mary's Church partnered with Faith Church in this endeavor and has consistently supported with volunteers and food on a weekly basis.
The name, "A Servant's Heart" accurately depicts the attitude of service embodied by the donors, volunteers, and coordinators. The desire to serve needy families stems from a desire to share and show God's love as it has been shown to us.

I wont say what "community" because I want a non-biased explanation, but let's say you're building a reusable module and that module requires 3+ dependent modules and removing 1 of them causes a breaking error not only in your app as a whole which uses this module, but the module itself.
From my understanding (which must be wrong) a loosely coupled modular system will not break by simply removing one module. The app should still run but without that "feature" / module and the module itself shouldn't causes everything to not run simply because a dependent module doesn't exist.
Is this wrong? If so, if modules are still dependent to the point of everything not working whats the difference between tight/loose coupling?

The seasonal average 2018-2019 rainfall for LA was four inches above the average of 14.73 inches. The average yearly rainfall in Greene County, New York, where I am from, is 46 inches. What this means to me is that within difference, we can discover the comforting same. As Alone as I am held by life and dreams and narration through tunnels which we travel, non-linear but memory and fear and beauty to be held in every moment your eyes are open and every moment they are closed too. Self-awareness came from self-pain and I ask over and over again is this thing that I dedicate my life to going to be the thing that rips warm arms wrapped around me away. Or were they already there invisible.Growth may never loosen its grip on the rope that pulls us through deciding what to leave and what to seek, but there is sunlight along the way.

St. Agnes Floral Shop in Syracuse. SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Thanks to Mother's Day, high school proms and Syracuse University's Commencement, it's a big weekend for the flower business in Central New York. Local flower shops are slammed with orders, and about half of those orders will go through order-gathering websites, siphoning money from Syracuse's economy and further squeezing a struggling industry.Order-gathering websites, such as Teleflora or Gift Services, are out-of-town companies which collect online orders and farm them out to local flower shops (whom they charge to be part of their network). They never touch a flower, but rather act as a middle man on the Web, charging $15-25 in "service fees" for each sale.They get the business because they tend to top the search results on Google.Paul Daniels, owner of St. Agnes Floral Shop Inc. in Syracuse, says normally 20 percent of his business comes through these online "order-gatherers," but before holidays like Mother's Day, they take up half his business."People want to do what's most convenient for them," said Daniels. "People want to do it from their cell phone."Consider the flower-buying process A customer remembers Mother's Day at the last minute.

Emily Alone.Written and recorded in the two years since Florist's last LP, If Blue Could Be Happiness, the songs seem a documentation of Sprague's life in this period. Sprague moved from New York to California, a place they had sung about wanting to visit on If Blue's "Glowing Brightly."Emily Alone is not an exact departure from Florist's previous form. The lo-fi tendencies still exist, as do the same intrinsic and vulnerable songwriting elements we've come to expect from them. There's a bit of dimension lost, though, without the backing of the group's other two main members, Jonnie Baker and Rick Spataro. Though the backbone, the rhythm section, is missing, the album never lacks any presence or fullness. The lost dimension here is somehow adding something new. Sprague's delicate voice is often double-tracked, using much of the same studio tracking to create a similar emotional space that you would find on Simon and Garfunkel records.The first strings plucked on the album are dark, and much of it would come across that way were it not for Sprague's quiet, unassuming voice. It fades out in the same way it begins, the last chord disappearing abruptly before the second track, "Moon Begins," comes in—fingerpicked and at a faster pace than the opening track."Celebration," the third track, is reminiscent of Florist's first LP, The Birds Outside Sang. Sprague speaks over the chirps of birds, a gentle string section and their plucked acoustic guitar. "My hair is dirty blon... https://www.slugmag.com/national-music-reviews/florist-emily-alone/

Frequently found in residential neighborhoods, these animals are notorious for eating out of bird feeders, digging in potted plants either to bury or recover seeds, and for inhabiting sheltered areas including attics. While many companies sell "squirrel-proof" bird feeders, which very few of them really are. Although these animals are primarily arboreal (and, therefore, very good climbers), they are also able to live in urban environments that are largely free of trees.
Squirrels are sometimes considered pests because they chew on various edible and inedible objects; a habit which helps keep their teeth sharp while also wears them down (rodents' teeth grow continuously). Homeowners in areas with a heavy population of these rodents must keep attics and basements carefully sealed to prevent property damage caused by nesting. Some homeowners resort to more interesting ways of dealing with this problem, such as collecting and planting fur from pets (such as domestic cats and dogs) in attics. This fur will indicate to nesting squirrels that a potential predator roams and will discourage habitation. Fake owls and scarecrows are generally ignored by the pests, and the best way to prevent chewing on an object is to coat it with something to make it undesirable -- for instance a soft cloth or chili pepper paste or powder. Professional pest controller will also trap squirrels to remove them from residential areas.
These animals can be trained to be hand-fed. Because they are able to cache surplus food, they will take as much food as is available. They frequently live in city parks and college campuses have learned that humans are typically a ready source of food. Hand feeding is not recommended, however, because they may carry animal-borne diseases. Even if they do not carry disease, they often have a hard time telling fingertips from food, and their bites are painful.

Accelerate from the Starting Blocks with Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud
As the London 2012 Olympics kicks off today, the 100m sprint event will be one I'll definitely be watching on TV. And with Cisco as the Official Network Infrastructure Supporter for London 2012 – an event that is generating huge excitement here in Cisco UK and Ireland as well as Cisco globally, let me use an Olympics analogy to illustrate how Cisco Services helps you accelerate deployment of our recently announced Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud Starter Edition, described in excellent detail by my good colleagues Wayne Green and Jason Schroedl.
While the 100m sprint will (hopefully!) be won in a sub-10 second time, without doubt the winner will have taken much, much longer in preparation. Like all the Olympic sports, the 100 sprint is an event where the participants will have prepared for several – if not many – years. They are at the top of their game. As I learned recently in a seminar at our Cisco Scotland office with Olympic medal winners Roger Black and Steve Backley, what is maybe not so visible is that they all have an extensive team behind them, helping them deliver that fantastic time. And despite their own expertise, commitment and talent, they will have called on specialist expertise – physios, expert trainers, even sports psychologists – to help them accelerate from those starting blocks and over that finishing line in record time. And for those competitors participating for the first time in such a major event, this background team will be all the more important in helping them develop their race plan.
So now onto cloud automation, and how Cisco Services can – in an analagous manner – help you accelerate from the starting block with Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud Starter Edition ….
If you've read some of my early blogs, you'll know I'm somewhat cynical about the sometimes restricted scope that others in our industry portray the topic of cloud computing. The adoption of cloud computing requires you to consider a variety of IT and data center challenges, ranging from network and compute infrastructure to hypervisors and pervasive security, chargeback and more. Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud, an integral part of the Cisco cloud strategy, addresses the needs of some of these key requirements of a cloud computing solution- namely cloud automation, orchestration and self-service portal. So much so that I could make the case quite easily that Cisco Intelligent Automation is one of the major differentiators between a traditional data center and a cloud-ready data center.
To support our Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud product launch, we've recently enabled the global Cisco Services team to deliver a range of new services to help customers deploy Starter Edition. With Starter Edition, you can deploy it in one of 3 ways –
- "Standard" – out of the box, as it were, into your data center environment
- "Enhanced" – taking advantage of a range of powerful enhancement options, and
- "Custom" – where you may require custom designed cloud services, end user portals and automation workflows
And as the diagram below illustrates, we've aligned our services offerings to each of these modes of deployment.
These services each help customers achieve a well defined deployment goal. These services can also be aligned with a pragmatic phased approach to solution rollout – a topic I'll return to in my next blog. They are also aligned to the various customer groupings we typically find. Some customers prefer to have something up and running quickly. They are opting for the "Standard" deployment, preferring to defer enhancement and customization to later phases of their cloud automation rollout. Services providers and public sector organizations who plan to offer shared services require advanced features such as multi-tenancy, and as such,the "Custom" deployment service is more appropriate. We've also analysed the needs of customers and determined a range of commonly requested enhancements to the out-of-the-box product, that we enable in the "Enhanced" service offer, and these are best served the middle tier in the above diagram, the "Enhanced" offer.
Aha you say, we've deployed management products before, we have a good team, why do I need Cisco Services?
As with my Olympic analogy above, you can be more successful in your cloud project by adding to your team a group of people who bring additional perspectives and expertise, who've "been there, seen it and done it". You can be more successful when you have a detailed deployment plan, when you have people on your team who have invested thousands of man hours in understanding the product, working with the software developers to understand the nuances of the product, to understand the strengths and alternative options that are at your disposal in these complex software solutions.
Cisco Services can bring these facets to your team, saving you substantial time and accelerating your project milestones. This year, I've had the privilege of working with a highly disciplined team of experts in cloud automation – the solutions architects in our cloud automation team within Cisco Services. I've participated as they invested the thousands of man hours in building out a deployment methodology, while they learned the best practices in how to customize and extend the product to meet your needs. You can add them to your team through the above set of offerings. And you can accelerate from the starting blocks to make this your most successful management solution deployment ever.
For our Olympic sprinters, it's not just about the 10 seconds they run the race for. It's about all the preparation investments they've made, in advanced of the race. And it's often their background team – and the specialist expertise they engage – that takes them from a competitor to a world record holder. Cisco Services can be this team for you.
You can learn more about Cisco Data Center Services here or in my previous blogs. And if you are involved in planning your company's cloud deployment …. make sure you watch that 100m sprint final! 🙂

I have listed Ruby as a skill on my resume becuase I've been programming in Ruby for 5 years while I work on my Ph.D. thesis. I've mostly been using it to implement natural language processing algorithms.
I'm starting to look for a job, and I posted my resume to a few sites (as an extra bonus when applying to certain on-target jobs). Now I get recruiters calling me to offer me Ruby on Rails jobs. The problem is that I've never learned Rails. It was never relevant to what I'm doing for my Ph.D.
How do you recommend handling this situation to avoid wasting my time and theirs? (And learning Rails probably isn't an option until I finish my thesis.) Can my resume be adjusted to make this clearer? Should it be adjusted? Should I just politely tell them on the phone that I don't know Rails?
By the way, the relevant part of my resume simply says:
Programming Languages: C, C++, Java, Scala, Ruby, LaTeX
Databases: MySQL, XML, XPath
and lists a few other skill areas that couldn't possibly be confused with a Rails developer.

AUSTIN — For the third summer in a row, the Texas Longhorns head into training camp unsure about the identity of their starting quarterback.
In 2011, they held a four-player competition featuring David Ash, Garrett Gilbert, Case McCoy and Connor Wood. In 2012, that group had been culled to Ash and McCoy. Now, the Longhorns are waiting for a different duo to separate itself.
And the race between Good Ash and Bad Ash still might be too early to call.
The first-string job is Ash's alone heading into his junior season, and his teammates and coaches say he's more self-assured than ever. But even though he's now the most experienced quarterback in the Big 12, it remains to be seen which part of his track record will look more familiar in 2013.
In many ways, Good Ash has been underrated. He was brilliant last season at Mississippi (19-for-23, 326 yards, four touchdowns) and looked even better at Oklahoma State, when he punctuated a 30-for-37, 304-yard outing by leading a game-winning drive that would've impressed even Vince Young and Colt McCoy. The second half of the Valero Alamo Bowl was another highlight, and sent him into the offseason as UT's unquestioned leader.
But those two quarters weren't enough to erase all the memories of Bad Ash. For the second October in a row, he was overwhelmed against Oklahoma, and looked even worse at Kansas two weeks later. Then there was an atrocious outing against TCU on Thanksgiving (although he said he broke his rib on the game's eighth play), and a slow start against Oregon State.
Overall, Ash still finished his sophomore season ranked 15th nationally in completion percentage (67.3) and 21st in passing efficiency. The potential for improvement could come not only from Ash's natural progression, but also from the system. With new play-caller Major Applewhite in charge, the Longhorns are moving to an up-tempo offense in 2013, and that might suit Ash better than UT's old ball-control style.
As for the backups? Case McCoy, a senior, spent his summer on a mission in South America, but he remains the Longhorns' official second-stringer. If Ash is injured in a close game, UT likely wouldn't hesitate to turn to McCoy, who's had his moments (most notably, beating Texas A&M as a sophomore and Kansas after a near-disastrous first throw as a junior).
But it's become apparent that the Longhorns have huge expectations for Tyrone Swoopes, who might become a bigger part of the regular game plan than McCoy will. Swoopes, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound freshman who enrolled early and participated in spring drills, is a strong runner and a possible trigger man for UT's "Wild" package. Former running back Fozzy Whittaker made that formation quite successful two years ago, but the Longhorns never found the right combination for it in 2012.
Other candidates to take snaps in the "Wild" include tailback Johnathan Gray and Jalen Overstreet, the former quarterback who's been converted to a running back/slot receiver role.
Previous breakdowns: Offensive line, receivers/tight ends, running backs.
Next breakdown: Defensive line.

Video: Multicopter with autonomous navigation system
A labyrinthine mine, dimly lit and a dusty environment – the researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) chose a particularly difficult location to test their flying robot. The task – given a defined destination, the multicopter was to automatically create a map of the site using an on-board stereo camera and sensors, and then navigate autonomously to its target. The airborne system confidently found its way through the mine's passageways, demonstrating for the first time the principle of autonomous flight under difficult environmental conditions and without external navigation aids, such as GPS. In future, flying robots equipped with this navigation system could also fly into buildings in disaster-stricken areas or map changes in mines over a long period.
"We deliberately selected a location in which the challenges faced by the navigation system were particularly demanding," explains Korbinian Schmid from the DLR Robotics and Mechatronics Center. The researchers found precisely the challenges they needed at a coalmine in Recklinghausen. Facing difficult lighting conditions, the flying robot was asked to overcome air turbulence in the narrow passages, swirling dust, an uneven floor, slanted walls and obstacles such as machines and generators – while still arriving safely at the destination that its operator had commanded over a wireless network. "These adverse conditions could all be present during a search and rescue mission following a disaster."
Planning with its own map of the location
To navigate safely, the flying robot's on-board computer combines measurements of acceleration and rotation rates it receives from the sensors with the relative orientation and position measurement data that the stereo camera provides. The estimated positions are then put to further use in combination with the images provided by the airborne system's stereo camera to continuously create a map of the surroundings. The flying robot always knows its position, its orientation and the speed at which it is travelling, and is therefore able to autonomously plan the trajectory it must take to reach its defined destination. Once created, the map is sent to the operator over a wireless network for mission planning. If the wireless connection between the multicopter and the operator fails, the system has a choice to continue along its independent flight towards its destination or return to a previously defined point, for instance the mine entrance. The apparatus remains hovering in the air if it is unable to reach a destination due to the presence of obstacles, while it waits until it receives new commands. The DLR team has already garnered a Best Paper Award at one of the world's largest robotics conferences, the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems held last year in Japan, for the publication of its research work.
The plan is to continue developing the autonomous navigation. Carrying along its own source of illumination in the form of LED spotlights, the stereo camera currently covers a field of view of around 60 degrees. "What we would really like to do is enlarge this field to make it truly panoramic," says Schmid. "Additionally, we want to be able to consider the altitude and the dynamic properties of the system when planning a trajectory." The system currently maintains a constant height whenever possible. A combination of a rover and a flight system would be possible to explore disaster areas. Also fitted with a stereo camera and autonomous navigation, the rover would move over the ground, operating as a carrier to transport the multicopter to the outer edge of impassable terrain, where it would hand over operational duties to the flying robot explorer. "One thing is crucial in all missions – the navigation system must ensure that the robots can function as autonomously as possible," emphasises Schmid.

text: LED blink program for Vocore + Dock 04 December 2014 david Code Having gotten one of the Vocore's LEDs to blink from the command line, I decided that a simple C program to do the same thing would be useful, just to make sure that the cross-compiler has been set up correctly and that everything is working properly. Having a program that just blinks an LED is pretty useful, just to verify that you can successfully run your code. If you've managed to cross-compile a test program like this, then copy it to the target hardware and see it working - then you can start building whatever you like with a degree of confidence. So I've put the code for the Vocore blink program on GitHub just in case… NOTE: it's designed to work without any additional electronics if you have the dock attached. The project includes a simple Makefile which (hopefully) should work in most cases. As long as you have an OpenWrt build environment set up for the Vocore you should just be able to type make and you will then have the program cross-compiled and ready to be copied onto the device. Doing something like: scp ./blink firstname.lastname@example.com:/ should copy the program over to your Vocore. Once you've done that, you just need to ssh into the Vocore and run it. Oh, you'll probably need to make sure that the program has been marked executable with chmod, otherwise you'll probably get a Permission denied message. I used chmod +x blink to do that.

Im working on my next tutorial which will appear soon, but for now i'd thought I'd share a few thoughts and see what you all think. Ok once again there seems to be a big topic on everybody's minds and this time it's the Human Interface Guidelines. Scott has some insightful commentary on this. I believe early on when I first started learning Cocoa, I took a look at this document. As far as I can remember people have been chastising Apple for not following it. Right away some things didn't make sense like the specific types of apps that brushed metal was supposed to be used on, etc. Personally I don't think I'll read the HIG again anytime soon. Why? Because if you really think out a solution and take into account the users perspective while following what should be common sense, you don't really need the HIG. Remember when your designing an app, your designing a solution to a problem so you should try and make it simple. Right away when someone looks at your app it should be very apparent what the app does and give the user a good idea of how it works. If someone has to spend a good while looking around at your app to begin to figure out these things then your solution is already too complicated, they might not be able to use everything right away but they should get the gist of it. A big pitfall of some developers is throwing too much at your user. A good example is maybe your developing a simple image edit app. If your user is typically a amateur photographer and just wants to maybe crop and do some adjustments to the image quality, do you think they'll really need a metadata inspector window constantly showing and taking screen real estate? Of course you can suffer from the exact opposite of this and throw too little at your user to the point where they are constantly opening up things. For example Im not pro photographer but, I presume Apple did some research and decided it was a good idea for pro photographers to have access to a bunch of panels for color correction, image adjustment, metadata, etc in Aperture. Another thing I tell myself when designing UI's is "Don't be like the Windows developers!" Now this is not to say that all windows UI designers are crap, it's just there are so many Windows programs I look at and go "why did they do this?" and "wtf is the purpose of this?" and so on. One of my friends who goes to Iowa State University told me in one of his classes they covered this new Windows framework (who's name escapes me at the moment, I think it's the windows presentation framework or something like that) that can make all these magical UI effects. He was in a group and they were designing a UI which I believe was a login window or something like that. Should be simple right? Well they wanted to have a paper clip dance around the window and have other visuals. My friend (evidently being the only sane person in the group) didn't like this idea. Around this time the teacher came by, now you think anybody who was sane would chastise the group for putting up such a dumb idea that wastes so much resources on something so simple. But the teacher thought it was a good idea. Now I should issue a disclaimer that not all teachers at ISU are like this thankfully. So in conclusion here are the basic points
- Identify what the problem is your solving
- Define everything you require to solve the problem
- Don't throw everything at once to the user, define the common tasks your users will be performing on the app and design around that (but allow them to get to the more complicated parts easily if they need to get to them)
- Design everything around the basic purpose of your app
- Go for the simplest solution first (you'll get more done faster and your users will love your app because they can get things done faster) even if it takes a little bit of trial and error to find what that is "the simplest solution is usually the most elusive" - Jonathan Ive (may not be exact quote, I can't find my iMac movie)
- Don't waste resources on things you really don't need in your app.

Everyone understands that coloring is among the most important facets in making a lovely room layout. Shade is an essential component for designing, remodeling or developing patterns, thus choosing the shades that are right have to be considered.
As previously mentioned in the earlier guide, the colour could thrust influence on feeling, understanding and conversation. In deciding on the best color on your household bedrooms consequently, you must pay specific focus.
The sack is really a sanctuary where we sleep whenever we are tired, a spot where we relax, tired of the daily schedule, or maybe once we are sick. The bedroom could be the location where we wanted study a favorite story to be alone or perhaps stay muted. Locations should be a location that will make us feel relaxed.

Faith in Vermont: The Bugs Are Back!
A little less than a month ago, in early May, it finally felt safe to declare Addison County in a state of full-blown spring. All the signs were there: we'd stopped burning wood in the stove at night, we'd cut our getting-out-the-door time in half by omitting hats and gloves and boots (and sometimes even coats!), we'd hung the hammock and put the potted plants back outside, and we'd replaced the screens on the doors and windows. Whenever we returned home from errands or school, our daughters raced from the minivan right into the yard to blow bubbles, climb rocks, chalk the walkway, ride bikes -- and even, one glorious afternoon, frolic on the Slip-n-Slide.
For a full week, our family reveled in the renewal of our outdoor paradise. Then, one afternoon, I noticed that small, black things were flying around my head. As I waved them away with my hands, I saw that my daughters were also flailing their arms in front of their faces. And then, I felt that old, familiar pinch; heard that old, familiar buzzzzz -- along with my daughters' shrieks as they raced for the house.
Oh yeah, THAT.
The bugs are back. Paradise lost.
It's funny how quickly we forget. This past frigid winter had me longing for the return of warm weather and green leaves, but I forgot that nothing in life is perfect. With the warmer weather come the bugs, and that's why, by September, I'm longing for the return of freezing temperatures: Because freezing temperatures kill off the mosquitoes! (And the flies, and the ticks).
I personally don't find bug season intolerable; sure, bugs are annoying and itchy, but I'm happy to put on a hat and some bug spray and go about enjoying the outdoors. What's intolerable is ushering my children through bug season.
I have one daughter who refuses to put on bug spray; she claims it smells bad and makes her feel cold. So, all spring and summer long, anytime we go outside, this particular daughter has to be caught and held down and bug-sprayed despite her screams and flailing. Two other daughters aren't as resistant to bug spray, but they've inherited my husband's sensitive and allergy-prone skin, which means that they walk around covered in red, oozing welts the size of half-dollars wherever they've been bitten. And our baby is still too young for bug spray, but also refuses to keep a hat on her head. Nothing makes me feel like a worse parent than a baby with black fly bites all over her scalp. (I swear those bugs have teeth).
If the bugs are particularly bad (and they often are in our yard, since we live in the woods), once we've gone through the chasing and trapping and spraying and squirming -- times four -- we'll finally get outside where, after approximately four minutes, my daughters will declare, "There are too many bugs out here! We're going back in!"
Then there are the tick checks. Every evening, we have to give all four girls the once-over to make sure they haven't been colonized by deer ticks. This is made more difficult by their long, dark hair (none of our daughters wants to have her hair cut -- ever -- a la Rapunzel and every other princess, which means I will be sending the bill for their Lyme Disease treatment to the Disney company). Checking the hair requires two parents and a flashlight if we really want to do it right. And, in the event we do find a tick, we have to remove it, which involves more squirming and complaining.
So, thanks to the bugs, my entire spring and summer feel like an endless wrestling match with four angry octopi.
But just as humans have an unlimited capacity for forgetting, we have an unlimited capacity for hope. So, I'm holding out hope this year. Black fly season began, as always, right around Mother's Day, but it seemed short this year: We've yet to reach Father's Day -- the traditional end of the black flies -- and I haven't seen a black fly in a week. We haven't found a tick yet, either. And my mother-in-law, who came to visit from California this month prepared for bugs, introduced us to the concept of Bounce sheets as a mosquito repellant; apparently mosquitoes don't like the smell of fabric softener. This is something that my bug-spray-resistant daughter can get behind: She's now going outside with a Bounce sheet tied around each wrist, and although I was skeptical at first, she's remained mostly bite-free.
In the end, I suppose that without bugs, Vermont springs and summers would be too perfect. And perfection, as we know, isn't good for people. If we all sat around enjoying a bug-less spring and summer, we'd become too happy and lazy. Nothing would get done. How many great works of art and literature can we attribute to the suffering caused by mosquitoes? Probably a lot -- certainly all the great Russian novels. (I once spent two summer weeks in Russia, where the mosquitoes resembled vicious, bloodsucking hummingbirds.)
So, the next time you see a mosquito buzzing about your head, consider saying, "Thanks for Anna Karenina!" before squashing it dead.
