Book Description:
For two decades Tyler Gibbons has been keeping a secret from his family. At the tender age of sixteen, Tyler embarks on a student exchange program. Sent to the Andean city of Ambato, Ecuador, he finds daily adventure as he tries to fit in at school, connect with his host family, and navigate through a world of beaches, volcanoes, and jungles. But tucked deep inside this year are events so profound, so unexpected, they forever shape the man he will become.
Now, 25 years later, his mother pulls these soaring tales from her son, exposing, for the first time, the source of a deep unhappiness. While these memories contain the wounds of an unresolved past, they also possess the power to heal his painful present.
Thoughtfully crafted and boldly told, Tyler's journey takes the reader on a wild South American adventure, while illuminating a mother's unyielding power to heal her child.
The book starts out with Tyler getting to the hospital when he learns his mother is there. They won't tell him what is wrong or anything. They just tell him to get there. Tyler arrives at the hospital and his mother wants to hear what happened when he went on a student exchange program when he was 16. He ended up going to Ecuador and she wanted to know what really happened and not the cryptic stuff that he kept telling her.
Tyler begins regailing her with his tale of what happened in Ecuador. She sees through his bullshit almost immediately and tells him to tell her the real story and not to make himself look like a hero. So the tale begins. Tyler was sixteen and was glad to be going somewhere else. But he didn't think he'd feel as out of place as he did there. He didn't speak any Spanish. Luckily, there were other students going to Ecuador with him and they were all close to each other.
Tyler and the others are mischievous and it shows in his tales of what happened. I had to laugh at some of the ways the author had Tyler trying to talk in Spanish.
This was a good book! I honestly liked it. Reading the description, I wasn't too sure but when I started reading it, it changed my mind. I read this book in a few sittings. I would have preferred to have read it in one but when you have a boisterous 4 year old in the house, that rarely happens unless I read late at night. 🙂 I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys coming of age novels.

Ever felt anxious? Do you feel anxious all the time? Does a single negative comment from someone else or a personal mistake trigger those uncomfortable feelings? Does the increased blood pressure, shaking, short breathe and panicked mind feel familiar?
Anxiety, like many other mental health issues, is underplayed. It's the elephant in the room! The thing that can't be verbalised,the thing that won't be acknowledged and, as a result, the thing that continues to be hidden.
A recent YouGov survey in 2014 of 2,300 adults in Britain revealed that:
- People are believed to be more anxious now than they were five years ago.
- Almost one in five people feel anxious all of the time or a lot of the time.
- One-fifth of people who have experienced anxiety do nothing to cope with it.
- A third of the students in the survey said they cope by 'hiding themselves away from the world'.
So, why is anxiety still so hidden and what can we do ourselves to make anxiety easier to work with? The above statistics suggest that we prefer not to reveal we are suffering with anxiety, so perhaps we would feel more empowered if we knew how to deal with it ourselves?
Here are a few techniques I have used with clients that have proved helpful and healing:
Talk to someone you trust
Get things off your chest, opening up and releasing inner fears, worries and inner pressures can bring things into context and allow you to take a different perspective.
Connect with your physical body
Get out of your head and into your body. When suffering with high levels of anxiety we say that you are coming from a very high energy place and you need to ground yourself. There is no better way to do this than jumping on the treadmill, getting in the yoga studio or taking a walk in your favourite woods
Breathe …
Obvious, right? Well, maybe, but how much are you really breathing? The breath that goes hand in hand with anxiety tends to be short, restricted and fast. Try this, try a full yogic breath that expands your lungs and allows your breath to release tension and in turn release stress.
Try alternative therapies
Anxiety struggles to stick around with the natural release of endorphins. Endorphins are the feel good hormones, they inhibit the experience of emotional and physical distress, including anxiety and pain, and promotes a sense of calm, comfort, well-being, and pleasure. Endorphins are released when we exercise, laugh, connect with others, listen to music and even when we eat dark chocolate! There is also a strong release of endorphins during massage, especially aromatherapy as many essential oils also encourage the release of these happy hormones.
Know you are not alone
As mentioned in the statistics above, anxiety is still not widely spoken about but does effect a huge amount of us. Suffering with anxiety can often feel isolating, but know that most people have felt it at some point in their lives.
Life can throw up many challenges and anxiety may or may not be something that affects you right now. However, opening your mind to this common yet hidden emotion could allow for some personal healing or perhaps even open a channel for someone else to confide in you and ask for help.
With love and understanding,
Kirsty x

Are You Struggling to Connect With Those Around You?
- Do you feel as though you and your partner frequently bicker and argue? Our marriage counseling and couples therapy services might be right for you.
- Recently engaged? Our premarital counseling services might be right for you.
- Are you having a hard time fitting in with your coworkers or speaking up for yourself in work meetings?
- Are you single and trying to date, but feel anxious and unsure of how to meet the right person?
- Have you felt underappreciated or ignored by your family?
- Do you often feel like an outsider in social situations?
- Do you wish you could communicate effectively and establish meaningful connections with your friends, family members, coworkers, and loved ones?
If you are having difficulty with one or more of the relationships in your life, you might feel lonely, frustrated, and stuck. Perhaps you are struggling with low self-esteem and aren't sure how to develop the confidence and self-worth needed to assert yourself. Maybe you feel disrespected by those around you, especially when others seem to ignore your needs. You might be unsure of how to set and maintain appropriate boundaries with different people in your life.
You also may feel as though you don't belong, even when you try to fit in. Maybe you struggle with social anxiety, and your efforts to go out and meet people have left you feeling increasingly nervous and disappointed. You may try to talk to people, but just don't seem to be heard. Maybe you worry that there is something wrong with the way you interact in the world.
Navigating Relationships Can Be Difficult
Most people have multiple relationships in their lives, from family and romantic partners to coworkers, teammates, and friends. Although it can sometimes seem like everyone else has it all figured out, many people struggle with one or more of their relationships. The savvy office woman might feel as though she can't be herself on dates. The happily married man might feel as though he can't assert himself in front of his parents. Or, the social butterfly at parties might struggle to communicate her needs to her spouse, her boss, and her children. If you are struggling to feel connected to the people in your life, you are not alone.
Often, people struggle to understand their deeply held needs and communicate them effectively. You might try to express yourself and feel frustrated when those around you don't understand you or react with anger or derision. Perspectives can greatly influence our connections. In these situations, it's common to adopt the painful belief that you don't matter, don't fit in or aren't important. However, with relationship counseling, you can investigate damaging beliefs and develop a clearer view of your world and the people in it.
"Therapistis a caring listener who helped me to believe in myself."
The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself, including an awareness of your needs and your emotions. The relationship you have with yourself is the core from which all other relationships develop, and it needs to be strong in order to nurture friendships, romances, or successful collaborations. With the help of a qualified therapist, you can develop the self-love, self-confidence, and emotional communication skills that can help you make or strengthen connections with those around you.
Learn to Communicate Effectively
At Eddins Counseling Group in Houston, Texas, our trained therapists understand the difficulties and pains you may be going through. No one wants to feel isolated or unloved. We offer a variety of services to help you develop the tools of communication and connection.
"My therapy experience was incredible. From the moment I started working with Joan, I was impressed with her skills in pointing out behavior patterns and gently suggesting alternate forms of communication. My relationship is now out of the ICU and is now "stable," and I am much less anxious and depressed."
In sessions, your therapist can help you explore your personality, your emotions and needs, and your common relationship dynamics. You may uncover a learned habit or harmful pattern that negatively affects your current or potential relationships. Then, your therapist can empower you to replace those habits with positive social skills. You can begin to identify what triggers anxiety, annoyance, or anger in an interaction and learn to navigate emotional reactions. You can't change the people around you, but you can make healthy changes in yourself that can reduce conflict and increase connection.
Relationship counseling can also help you better understand your attachment styles and your ability to set healthy boundaries with your family, friends, coworkers, and partner. Some people feel very safe in some situations and very threatened in others. When you feel threatened or insecure, it can be difficult to put yourself out there. But, you can develop skills that can help boost your sense of security and self-confidence, as well as your ability to adapt your methods of communication to different situations.
Everyone struggles with relationship issues at some point. No one communicate perfectly all the time, but we can help you develop ways to actively listen to others and express your needs so that they are heard. With self-acceptance and compassion, you can begin to deepen every relationship in your life.
I'm Not Sure if Relationship Counseling Will Be Worth My While
Many people wonder if therapy can really make a difference in their relationships. We believe it absolutely can! The human desire for connection is one of our most basic and primal needs, which makes it essential for mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Healthy and happy relationships can reduce anxiety and depression. When you feel like you are being heard, valued, and respected, you can feel better in other parts of your life.
It's Not Me That's the Problem, It's Everyone Else
Sometimes it can feel like you are doing all you can to make a connection, but your coworkers, family members, partner, friends, or date simply won't put in the effort. However, you can't change other people. You only have power over yourself. Relationship counseling can help you identify ways to alter how you interact with other people so that it's more likely that your needs will be heard and met. Even if you come to therapy by yourself, you can make positive changes that can alter the dynamic of a dysfunctional relationship.
I Don't Want to Focus on the Negatives in My Relationship
You may worry that your therapist will guide you to take a negative view of your relationship with a loved one. That is not the case. Instead, your therapist will help you look at your relationships in a balanced way. We focus on strengths and effective ways to build them. We'll also look at things that aren't working for you or your partner and identify strategies to grow.
In sessions, you will have the opportunity to honestly work through the issues that are troubling you. Therapy can also provide you with an important sense of validation, which can provide immense relief.
You Can Feel Connected, Respected, and Loved
If you have spent too long feeling isolated and stuck, the therapists at Eddins Counseling Group can help mend and deepen your connection with yourself and others. We can help you discover new ways to communicate your needs and make connections.
We invite you to give us a call at 832-559-2622, schedule an appointment with a relationship counselor, or contact us in Houston for more information about our practice.
Personality Assessment for Enhanced Communication
You communicate with others every day on many levels. You may not always take time to analyze how your natural communication style affects others, however. Learning about personality type preferences can help you understand some important differences in communication styles and help you communicate more effectively and build more meaningful relationships. This can be useful in all types of relationship counseling, including couples and premarital counseling, work relationships, and other interpersonal relationships.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a well-known personality assessment that can help you better understand yourself and how you interact with others. The in-depth, enhanced MBTI personality profile includes detail on communication style. This is the most in-depth profile available. The report cost includes a 45-minute counseling and interpretation session to understand your results and how to integrate them into your personal and professional life. Talk to your counselor about whether a personality assessment would be beneficial for you or you and your partner together. You can learn a lot about how you communicate with others and how you prefer others to communicate with you. You can also learn effective conflict management strategies for your personality type.

Today was the Americas Regional Membership (RMB) Board meeting and initially I had thought I would be to busy planning the Ubuntu Oregon 11.10 Release Party and doing other things in the Ubuntuverse to submit my application but on Monday I put together my application and gathered some final endorsements.
After the RMB meeting commenced I was informed that due to the amount of people applying for membership it was possible they may not get to me this time which kind of sunk my spirit since finding time to sit on IRC for a hour or more straight is often difficult to find in my schedule. Anyways the pace of the board voting was efficient enough that I got my application heard and I got to see some excellent contributors get membership after plenty of sustained contribution.
Oddly enough I was not asked for a introduction or asked any questions so it appears my endorsements or contributions spoke enough on their own. Anyways I'm really happy that members of the Ubuntu Oregon LoCo were able to attend because now I can push them to make sustained contributions so they can eventually apply at the right time.
I would like to congratulate everyone who became a member today and I look forward to doubling down on my contributions to the Ubuntu community.

DWC Hydroponics – The Bubbletastic way to grow!
Deep Water Culture / Bubble-buckets
There are several methods of growing hydroponically. The main ones are: Flood & Drain (aka Ebb and Flow/Flood), NFT (Nutrient Film Technology) and finally DWC (Deep Water Culture, or Bubble-Buckets).
The Flood and Drain method is one of the oldest and most traditional of hydroponics grow methods. However, it uses a large amount of grow media, and requires the use of a large reservoir. NFT uses less media, and keeps grow-heights slightly lower. However, the plants usually need lots of additional support. As with many things, there are advantage/disadvantages and compromises to be had with the different ways of growing a plant.
The Deep Water Culture (DWC), or "Bubble-bucket" method offers a different way again of hydroponic growing. It is hugely popular and only ever getting more so! One of it's main advantages is a low requirement for grow medium. This is because only a small net-pot filled with clay pebbles is needed for each plant, the roots then grow down out of this into a larger well-aerated reservoir of nutrient solution below. As well as this, DWC boasts fast plant growth and a reduced need for bulky equipment. To top it off, it's inexpensive and simple to set up. See here: DWC Systems and here: Air Pumps & Airstones
Excellent success can easily be had with such a system as long as a few good pieces of advice are followed:
1) When rooted cuttings are first transplanted into the system, the surrounding clay pebbles must be watered (usually by hand) once or twice daily until sufficient roots get down into the nutrient solution below and the plant can reach water for itself.
2) There must be an airstone in the bottom of the reservoir that is fed by a pump with sufficient airflow to keep the solution well oxygenated and mixed. We would generally recommend about 1-5 litres/minute for the average size (15-20 litre) DWC bucket. Some growers go much higher than this with a "more must be better" line of thinking. However, we believe there is a limit to how true this is. At the crazy end of the scale too much air flow will create an absolute maelstrom inside the reservoir with the roots being thrown around continuously. This could lead to root damage. We'd suggest it's best to stay on the sensible side of things and everything will be just fine.
3) The air pump must be left on at all times. If the pump breaks, it needs to be replaced quickly because the dissolved oxygen in the solution will get used up in no time. The plant roots need oxygen to be healthy. It's a good idea to have a spare pump to hand just in case the worst should ever happen.
4) The reservoir needs to be topped up and kept within a few centimetres of the bottom of the net pot. This is key. If the reservoir gets too low, there won't be enough roots submerged in the nutrient solution to supply the plant with adequate water. We have known growers who have got caught out during peak flowering. Their plants had literally started getting through half a reservoir of solution a day. By the time they checked after 2 days, the reservoir was empty and the plants had already suffered.
5) Keep an eye on the temperature of the reservoir. The motors in poor quality air pumps (or those that have been covered over to keep the sound down) will get hot. This heats the air being fed to the bubble buckets which in turn heats up the nutrient solution. Once the temp of the water rises over about 23C, there is an ever-increasing risk of diseases like pythium. Plus the warmer that water gets, the less oxygen that can be dissolved in it.
If you stick to those guidelines you'll have a nice, inexpensive grow system that will really deliver the goods. And won't create a huge amount of medium that needs to be got rid of after each grow!

BALTIMORE, Md. – Down by 17 points with under 10 minutes to play, the Ursinus men's basketball team sparked a rally and had a chance to take the lead with two minutes to go before Johns Hopkins held off the late charge to take a hot-shooting clash of Centennial Conference titans, 90-81.
Despite the loss, which handed the Blue Jays a season sweep, Ursinus (14-9, 11-5) still all but clinched the number three seed and a first-round bye in the conference tournament with Muhlenberg's loss at Franklin & Marshall. Barring two wins by Hopkins and two losses by Swarthmore next week (plus two wins by the Mules and two losses for Ursinus), the Bears and Blue Jays will meet for a third time in the CC semifinals on February 22.
In a battle of teams tied for second in the league, neither net at Goldfarb Gymnasium was safe. Both squads shot over 50 percent from the field, with the Blue Jays leading at 52.4 percent; the Bears were also an even 50 percent from beyond the arc (9-for-18).
A 38-27 rebounding edge (9-2 on the offensive glass) helped Johns Hopkins build a lead that looked to be safe, but the Bears made things very interesting down the stretch.
It was 72-55 with 9:51 to play before the valiant Bears mounted a 22-7 stretch until the 2:42 mark to get within two points of the Blue Jays at 79-77. Seniors Eric Williams Jr. and Zack Muredda made 3-pointers to cut the lead to nine (72-63).
After a bit of an Ursinus burst, Johns Hopkins (15-8, 12-4) responded with two baskets to get it to 77-63.
The crucial 11-2 run from 6:33 to 2:42 pushed the Bears within reach. Williams added another triple to get the Bears to five points down. The Blue Jays missed a pair of free throws before Muredda drained a 3-pointer to get closer. Johns Hopkins missed the front end of a 1-and-1, leading to a Bears' possession to go ahead or tie. But junior Ryan McTamney had a go-ahead 3-pointer rim out with two minutes to go and Michael Gardner followed with a pull-up dagger that got a friendly bounce off the rim to give the Blue Jays a four-point lead with 1:41 remaining.
McTamney was a difference-maker for the Bears. He earned the team's Wall-O'Mahony Game MVP honor as he poured in 21 points. The game honors Glen Wall and Matt O'Mahony, two former Johns Hopkins basketball players who were lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11.
Williams scored 16 points and nailed three treys on the day, extending his consecutive games streak with a made 3-pointer to 40. The perimeter marksman moved his career total to 302, which is four away from Ursinus legend Dennis Stanton for second place in conference history and seven shy of Brandon Federici's top mark of 309.
The Bears started 5-of-6 from the floor as junior Shane Stark handed out assists on the Bears' first four buckets. Stark filled the stat sheet with 12 points, a team-high eight rebounds, and six assists.
McTamney scored the Bears' first six points before Stark found Muredda (11 points) for a 3-pointer to jump out to a 9-4 lead.
Braeden Johnson kick-started a prolific half for the Blue Jays. Johnson connected on his first three long-range attempts to give Johns Hopkins a 19-16 edge eight minutes in. The rookie made four long balls in the half for 12 points and ended the day with 21 points. Johnson finished 6-of-9 from the field, 5-of-7 from 3-point range, and a perfect 4-of-4 from the line. The Blue Jays went on 10-0 run to go up 26-16 while the Bears were scoreless for three minutes in the middle of the first half.
Williams drained his 300th triple at the 2:23 mark. The milestone cut the lead to 41-33 but the Blue Jays closed on a 7-2 run to push their lead to 48-35 at the break as Noah Ralby's layup after a Johns Hopkins steal beat the buzzer. Ralby scored 12 points and handed out 11 assists.
Reserve Harry O'Neil was named Johns Hopkins' MVP. He finished with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting and added eight rebounds. O'Neil and Johnson led a Blue Jay bench contingent that combined for 47 points.
The Bears went to the free-throw line ten more times than the Blue Jays. Ursinus went 22-of-31 (71%) and Johns Hopkins shot 14-of-21 (66.7%). Each team committed 11 turnovers.
Ursinus hosts Muhlenberg Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Another Safari problem
The unlucky browser (designed with security in mind) has another problem.
It is vulnerable to phishers because Apple is doing nothing to protect their costumers. Their high security development cycle not only ignores (Apple isn't the only) the basic standards of security but also doesn't give to their users tools to effectively protect themselves.
I hope you didn't installed the crappy Windows version of Safari. If you did that first uninstall it, then use IE7 or Opera.
If you are a Mac User you have to switch, it's the only way out. At least to a more secure browser, Opera should be a good idea. Of course using bootcamp to install a copy of Windows Vista is a better choice (And in the next days would also be cheap).
Elsewhere don't cry if someone phish your secrets, I'm telling you what to do to avoid that.

Support is growing for a regional jail to help with Jefferson County's money woes and relieve crowding at the downtown jail.
Talks are under way among state, county and city officials about using the unopened county jail in Bessemer to house inmates from Birmingham and other jurisdictions under a cooperative entity. That jail has been closed since September 2009, including a new wing that has never been used.
"We believe we can combine use of the county jails in Birmingham and Bessemer and take in the city's jail population and make it work," said Jefferson County sheriff's Chief Deputy Randy Christian. "That would relieve our overcrowded problem at the county jail in Birmingham. It has to make financial sense for Birmingham, and we think it will. If we get past that hurdle, this will be a win-win. ... That's the kind of regional cooperation our area is thirsty for, and we are pretty excited about it -- cautiously optimistic."
Jefferson County Commissioner Sandra Little Brown said she has met with city officials about the jails.
"What I understand is that Birmingham has to build a new jail. Why do they need to build a new jail when we can house those inmates, come together and work together?" Brown said. "We can open the Bessemer jail. We have room in that jail to house the inmates that Birmingham has in the county."
The county jail in Bessemer was closed September 2009, a move Jefferson County Sheriff Mike Hale made when $10 million was cut from his then $61 million budget.
Birmingham City Attorney Thomas Bentley said the city is working on contract proposals about renting county jail facilities, but documents have not been developed.
State Sen. Linda Coleman, D-Birmingham, said lawmakers are looking at the jail situation and how area jurisdictions can be partners.
"It's causing us to be creative with other cities, helping them to help the county," she said. "It's like helping your neighbor push the boat across the lake and both of you get across at the same time."
State Rep. Merika Coleman, D-Hueytown, toured the jails last week and said she came away "heartbroken" at the crowded conditions.
"Even if you feel as if the prisoners don't deserve anything, we are putting our deputies in harm's way by not having the revenue to make sure they have the resources they need to run the jail," she said.
Some lawmakers say finding revenue for the county during the legislative session that begins Tuesday is imperative. Some of that money could be used for law enforcement, they say.
"With 23 years in law enforcement, I'm very concerned about our courts, being able to house the folks that need to be taken off the street and funding law enforcement to keep our communities safe," said state Rep. Allen Treadaway, R-Morris. "Those things are very important to me."
Sheriff Mike Hale said all lawmakers are welcome to tour the crowded jails, but the problems go far beyond that. His office has had funding cut by more than 30 percent over the last two years, he said.
"We are under the scrutiny of the (U.S.) Department of Labor because we have zero overtime to pay our deputies," he said. "There isn't a law enforcement office serving a county our size in the country that can operate that way. We have suspended merit raises. That means a new hire that comes in at $38,000 a year will still be making that amount at retirement."
Hale said his office has no money for uniforms, equipment or cars. "We cannot continue on that path," he said.
The county's general fund problems hit a crisis point last year when the Alabama Supreme Court threw out its occupational tax because of a technical flaw in the way it was enacted. The tax had generated $66 million in fiscal 2010.
Despite the county's financial woes, lawmakers are divided on how to come up with revenue for its general fund. The sheriff said legislators should put aside their differences over whether a job tax is needed or whether the money should come from unearmarking existing revenue.
"It is time for everyone to stop the wordsmithing on a 'new' tax," Hale said. "We aren't for a new tax. We are for having a funding source that was in place for decades restored. Whatever they choose to call it or however they want to go about it is OK with us as long as they agree on a funding solution .$?.$?.
"Everyone collectively wants this fixed," he said. "It's hard to understand the reluctance. It has to be done; let's get on with it."

Storage devices that your host supports can use either the master boot record (MBR) format or the GUID partition table (GPT) format.
With ESXi 5.0 and later, if you create a new VMFS5 datastore, the device is formatted with GPT. The GPT format enables you to create datastores larger than 2TB and up to 64TB for a single extent.
VMFS3 datastores continue to use the MBR format for their storage devices. Consider the following items when you work with VMFS3 datastores:
For VMFS3 datastores, the 2TB limit still applies, even when the storage device has a capacity of more than 2TB. To be able to use the entire storage space, upgrade a VMFS3 datastore to VMFS5. Conversion of the MBR format to GPT happens only after you expand the datastore to a size larger than 2TB.
When you upgrade a VMFS3 datastore to VMFS5, the datastore uses the MBR format. Conversion to GPT happens only after you expand the datastore to a size larger than 2TB.
When you upgrade a VMFS3 datastore, remove from the storage device any partitions that ESXi does not recognize, for example, partitions that use the EXT2 or EXT3 formats. Otherwise, the host cannot format the device with GPT and the upgrade fails.
You cannot expand a VMFS3 datastore on devices that have the GPT partition format.

MRI machines come in various bore sizes. The bore is the area of the machine where the patient lies down. Inside each MRI scanner is a very large magnet that varies in strength. Different bore sizes can impact both the clarity of the scan and the comfort of the patient. To help you figure out which machine best suits your needs we have provided descriptions of different MRI machines.
Closed Bore MRI
Closed bore MRI's typically have a diameter of 50-60 cm. This means that the opening where patients lay down in is super small. Most people who have a procedure done in a closed bore MRI machine say they feel really claustrophobic. Larger patients may not be able to fit inside a closed bore MRI machine. However, these machines have excellent speed and image quality.
Open MRI
An open MRI is open on three to four sides which is ideal for patients with claustrophobia. Some patients claim that it feels similar to lying under a desk. These machines have a greater amount of space than their closed bore counterparts, however, the clarity of images may be lower. This machine is best for examining extremities, like your knee or shoulder.
Wide-Bore MRI
The wide-bore MRI is a combination of both the closed bore MRI machine and the open MRI machine. It provides the space for an open MRI machine and has the high-quality imaging capability of a closed bore MRI machine. It also has a shorter procedure time when compared to the open MRI machine. The wide-bore MRI machine's 70cm opening is ideal for larger or claustrophobic patients.
Open technology continues to improve! At Open MRI of Pueblo, our system is built with the concept of total comfort and relaxation at the forefront, something that isn't often experienced in a standard MRI. The Hitachi Oasis Open MRI here in Pueblo, Colorado provides our patients with the peace of mind for a quality scan in a stress-free setting. You can request an appointment online today!

eCommerce in India is an ever growing sector, opening up new possibilities as its penetration in the country increases. Its effect has been felt not just in retail, but in other sectors like technology, logistics etc. as well. And as it expands its wings, the need for experienced skilled tech professionals becomes greater. If you are a designer or a developer or run a website development business, you might have already felt this impact. Let's explore why is this happening so and why gaining specialisation in eCommerce can take you a long way.
The Growing Online Retail Ecosystem
eCommerce in India has taken a major leap in the last half a decade, showcasing an exponential growth braided with high scalability, thereby making itself a multi billion dollar territory. As per 'The Future of eCommerce: Uncovering Innovation', a report by ASSOCHAM-Deloitte, the digital commerce market in India has grown steadily from $4.4 billion in 2010 to $13.6 billion in 2014 and is likely to touch $16 billion by the end of 2015.
Especially with the frequent media coverages of online retail businesses raising funds every now and then, the offline retailers and manufacturers also see a huge scope in going online. Where marketplaces like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon etc. have provided a platform to lakhs of sellers to sell online, eCommerce SaaS companies have offered DIY softwares to create their own stores. Nonetheless, those availing these softwares and those desiring to have their own websites seek help of professional technology specialists to create a great product.
Need for Expertise in Design, Development, Marketing and More
In a common scenario, a lot of business owners who are going online prefer outsourcing most of the work. From backend development to design to SEO to even hiring, there are agencies and freelancers available for every requirement. And since the competition is stiff, how do these professionals differentiate themselves from their peers?
The key lies in developing an expertise to stand out of the lot and cater to the incoming clients better. And since evidently there is a clear demand for experts who understand eCommerce, gaining specialisation and understanding of this technology could take you a long way.
How Would Specialisation in eCommerce Benefit You?
eCommerce is growing, and still has a long way to go. Unlike a conventional website development, an online store creation has more requirements in terms of both resources and skills. And this is where you can make a difference. Not only would you open up a fresh stream of clients but experience the below given benefits too
1. Long Term and Recurring Clients
Mastering a niche skill like eCommerce puts you in a better position to convert clients and deliver to them effectively. Owing to the expertise you have developed, once you have successfully delivered to a few eCommerce clients, they might keep you on a retainer. And this could also increase word of mouth referrals as well.
2. Easy to Build and Innovate
eCommerce sites have many similarities in terms of user interface elements such as shopping carts, product detail pages, etc. They also have a similar back end functionality. By analysing other sites and using frameworks, pattern libraries, themes, and plug-ins you can build an online store faster rectifying the fault areas or adding features to smooth the process and experience of shopping further.
As shown above, platforms like Shopify provide easy options to web designers & developers to make Apps & Themes and sell to a global market. Further, it enhances your chances of becoming a 360 degree agency which not only does web services for clients but also introduces them to a product ecosystem to run a technologically sound eCommerce business.
3. Increased Revenue Streams
eCommerce expertise also gives an opportunity to explore alternative revenue models. One of the biggest challenges faced by web design/development businesses is the constraint of an hourly charge out rate. Profitability is measured by the number of hours charged and the rate at which it is done. However in this case, there is an opportunity to link revenue with the rate of success. Also, other eCommerce enablers like SaaS platforms, logistics companies, ERP providers etc. give an opportunity to enter into a revenue sharing referral model with them & also share client leads with you.
4. Leveraging the Growing Ecosystem
You no longer operate as a stand alone service firm or freelancer, you too become a part of the thriving online ecosystem! This will help you in your own brand building. While you continue to grow your own skills by focussing on one niche, you'll also learn much more through networking. Shopify alone has a community of 4000+ partners in India who refer & build client stores on Shopify with additional services such as digital marketing, web development & e-commerce consultation. You can develop cross synergies with other non-competing firms operating in the same sector to get in touch with more potential clients through their experts.shopify.com portal.
5. Growing Your Business with Value Added Services
In an online business, since most of the things are technology driven, it's easy to expand your offered services to beyond your core skills. Besides backend and design development, your clients would also have the need for SEO, marketing, social media promotions etc. If you are able to support your clients with such add on services, they are bound to value continual investment in you and your firm.
Beyond these benefits, let's also realise the point that all this would also be exciting. As stated earlier, companies like Shopify which are dedicated to eCommerce development, provide the developers and designers with free courses and tools they can use to implement their skills.
And if you are wondering where to start, this video might give you some bright ideas.

What is this?Published in 1916, Oh, Canada! is a compendium of works by Canadian soldiers involved in the war. Despite the danger and hardship, boredom was common on the frontlines and this meant troops created plenty of rhymes, stories and pictures that could be published in compendiums such as this. The title is worth noting as while Oh, Canada! is today known as Canada's national anthem it was not translated into English until 1908 and was not even de-facto anthem until the 1930s.
Women and the front lines
The work contains numerous illustrations of women, either on the front or being reminisced about from it. While all are playful they illustrate some of the different ways men on the front perceive women; longingly, playfully and respectfully.

Health Tips for The Average Joe
Information on Tummy Tuck Tummy tuck is a form of surgery which moms regularly experience and undergo after a vaginal birth – as well as those who want to ensure that their stomachs stay as flat and levelled as they would like. Needless to say, this is a form of cosmetic surgical technique that focuses on empowering the muscles in the stomach, fixing it and turning it out to be firm. Most plastic surgeons in miami know that there are various reasons why most women would often end up choosing to go with a tummy tuck. Cosmetic surgery can help with other concerns too in particular if the potbellied stomach is the result of abandon in food, neglecting to take care of oneself, and other natural reasons. Indeed, there are absolutely many people who can be run-of-the-mill contenders for tummy tuck aside from those who have given birth, or those who want to gain confidence by being able to sport a flat waist, as well as those that want to simply fit into their dream jeans or short-shorts. The tummy tuck is, in actuality, an effective method of ensuring that you get to maintain that coveted flat tummy, yet it is also something that must be properly consulted to a licensed plastic surgeons miami professionals to ensure that you will fully be content with the outcomes.
Doctors – My Most Valuable Advice
In adding to enduring a substantial amount of pain during the healing and recovery phase, you must also keep in mind that the real work lies on the after-procedure itself wherein you must make plenty of changes in your health and lifestyle such as no smoking, no drinking and even follow an adjusted eating routine which must be kept up since legitimate nourishment improves the recuperating process.
Valuable Lessons I've Learned About Health
Before connecting with your choice of cosmetic surgery miami professional whom you want to do the abdominoplasty, it would be wise to know primarily what it is that you are getting into. Therefore, seeking advice from a qualified specialist will help you guarantee a relatively good procedure that will surely give you the kind of results you wanted from it. Albeit the vast majority of surgery – be it a cosmetic, invasive, exploratory, or perhaps the reconstructive type of surgery, and so on, will always have their own length and ways of recovery which the patient will need to experience whether they like it or not. So for those individuals with all the more physically requesting employments may require an additional week or two at home before they will be allowed to go back to work. Whatever the reason is why most individuals would prefer having a tummy tuck – be it because of the amazing outcomes they can get in forming and characterizing your waistline or a more noteworthy desire to gain confidence and feel physically assured by having a taut stomach – it would be a choice and at the same time a privilege that just about any person can subject themselves to as long as they are willing to undergo and subject themselves to the necessary changes, adjustment, and recovery phase, as well the monetary expenses that the whole surgery procedure itself will require from you.

Thiruadigai or Thiruvadigai is the first place near Panruti we visited en route to Kumbakonam while going for our Symposium for Heritage Wardens held during 1st week end of January 2009.
This temples is a beauty of sorts. No words to describe.
Dr. Nagaswamy in one of his writings write as:
At Thiruvadigai there are a few archaeological relics which deserve notice. The Virattana temple at this place is a Pallava foundation carrying inscriptions of the Pallavas Paramesvaravarman, Tellaru erinda Nandi and Nrpatunga. Paramesvara's inscription relates to another shrine of this place. Nandi's inscription refers to a gift of gold for worship in the temple while, that of Nrpatunga, refers to renovation to the temple, carried out by him. In the pakara, at the western end there is a Caturmukalinga, decidedly a Pallava sculpture of 7th century A.D.
The story in Dinamalar in Tamil is still elaborate.
Life of Appar, his conversion from Jainism to Shaivism, this temple where the first Devaram was sung, and the first ever place where 'temple cleaning' (உழவாரப்பணி) took place from the hands of Appar / Thirunavukkarasar is worth reminding here.
The photos are here to see
Me and Natarajan always look out for rare sculptures and unknown beaties of the temple. See the two sculptural stone reliefs.. on the pillars of the front mandap at the entrance. Any explanations or mythological stories available for the same? Reader please explain me.
Also were stunning the rare mohinis in the entrnce and different dance poses we see, as we enter in.
Now, we see also a big stone sculpture in sitting posture as soon as we enter the temple facade,on our right, and yell with joy, "Hey, see Buddha statue, this proves this site is ancient than ever, atleast Buddhism survived here some 1800 years ago!
"Why is it confirmed as a Buddha? Why not Jaina Theerthangara statue? " asked my friend Natarajan. Why... I explained. Readers please come back with your answers to claim whether it is a Jaina Statue or a Buddha statue..
Also impressive were the paintings on the ceilings at the front mandapa of the temple. See pictures..
I wish they are not destroyed in the name of Kumbabishegam Samrokshanam, renovation by the HR& CE.. as how it happened in Madurai Meenakshi temple, in Thiruppulivanam, and many more temples. These paintings are real stunners and we should protect them from removal, white washing and graffiti.
Also, another repetitive feature of Pallava period temples are that the availability of Somaskanda Murthy / Parvathi full decorative sculptures seen behind the Shiva Linga, mostly made of limestone.
here this Thiruvadaigai temple has the biggest Somaskanda murthi (family portrait!) surrounded by Brahma and Vishnu, sizes of say, 8 to 10 feet! The lighting inside is very poor and so we could not see them properly. I requested the priest to show the deepa aradhana twice to ensure what I saw was believing! Such a big somaskanda !!!
Also unique are the over flowing scultpures around the sanctum sanctorum.Sadly the originallime sculptures are recoated with heavy and gaudy acrylic paints,which look horrible. Otherwise the originals would have made them more austere, authentic and elegant, ala..heritage vintage stuff.
PIL should be applied to stop sand blasting, usage of modern paints and materials in renovating temples; May be then, the Governments would not tamper such priceless beauties..
Thiruvadigai makes one visit this temple again and again..
Next week I will try to write on Innambur and Thiruperambiyam we saw near Kumbakonam...

Peter Jackson Making Documentary on World War I
Peter Jackson is making a documentary about World War I to mark the centennial of the battle's end.
The Lord of the Rings director is teaming up with bosses at the BBC and London's Imperial War Museum to create the new film using original footage from their archives.
Peter, whose grandfather William John Jackson fought in the conflict's famous Gallipoli campaign, said the project will focus on the real stories of people who lived through the war, which lasted from July 1914 until November 1918.
"I've always been fascinated by World War I due to my own family history and the Centenary felt like a unique opportunity to make a personal contribution to the commemoration," the filmmaker explained in a statement. "I wanted to find a way to bring new life to the stories of ordinary people living through extraordinary times."
For the film, the Academy Award winner has restored footage from the war, as well as colorising and rendering it digitally in 3D using modern production techniques.
Peter, 56, previously opened an exhibition in his New Zealand homeland featuring colorised images depicting life in the trenches and on the battlefields.
His new movie will premiere at the 2018 BFI London Film Festival, before airing in the U.K. on BBC One in November (18).

Testator Identification and Capacity
A last will and testament identifies the person making the will, usually by full name, address and phone number. Typical will language states that the testator is of legal age and sound mind, but this verbiage is superfluous. The court makes an independent determination of legal age -- in most states 18 years old -- and presumes that an adult is of sound mind. Anyone challenging mental capacity bears the burden of proof.
Devises and Bequests
A will's primary purpose is to identify the testator's heirs. If a testator leaves everything to one heir or several heirs in percentage shares, she need not describe her property. A will bequeathing particular items of property to specific heirs identifies the heirs by full name and address. It also describes each item of property sufficiently to facilitate identification. Will language can condition bequests upon the heir outliving the testator; if it does so, the testator names alternate beneficiaries to receive the property if the condition fails.
Nomination of Executor and Guardians
Executors administer last wills through the probate process, collecting assets, locating heirs and liquidating property. Many testators appoint executors in last wills, but this is not necessary for will validity. The court appoints someone to administer the will if no executor is named. Similarly, probate statutes do not mandate parents to nominate guardians for minor children in their wills, though wills commonly name both a guardian to care for the children and a separate financial guardian to handle their money until they reach the age of majority. The court appoints a guardian if no guardians are named in the will.
A will must be signed according to state procedures, termed "executing" the will. Most states require that the testator tell two adults that the document is her will, then sign it before them. Each witness also signs the will. In probate court, the witnesses prove the will by describing the testator's actions. Some courts invalidate the will if the witnesses are also heirs. Those states permitting holographic wills, or wills written entirely in the testator's handwriting, dispense with the witness requirements.

One of the maxims in karate (good karate that is) is that there is no wasted motion. We do not chamber punches to look good, rather there is some reason for doing so. Something that robs the opponent of their momentum and gives you an advantage. For instance, the chambering motion for a downward block (gedanbarai) can be interpreted as an offbalance and drag-by that places you behind the opponent in position for a choke (ushirojime) or drag-down (ushiroate). In aikido parlance we call this type of motion release#4 or release#2.
One of the really cool things about this interpretation of the gedanbarai chamber is that it makes karate kata a constant reminder of your priorities when attacked - your first thought should not only be to slip out of the way, but also to get behind the attacker. That is one thing that the gedanbarai chamber does for you and it is one reason that it is repeated so very often in the kataset.
I don't know if this particular kuzushi and drag-by is one of the oyo in Rick Clarks intriguing book, 75 Down Blocks. I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. But this 76th down block is what we worked on today in both karate and aikido.

[NTC2016-SU-R-03] Economic Impacts from Challenges in Pavement Engineering in an Uncertain Climate Future
Climate change and extreme weather events have become issues of greater relevance to transportation engineering professionals (Meyer et al. 2014). However, there remains relatively weak science for how climate change hazards can impact transportation infrastructure, the personal and commercial use of the infrastructure, the economic disparities that may occur from inconsistent geospatial and temporal influences, and how these impacts should be best managed. Recently the National Cooperative Highway Research Program evaluated how climate change might introduce hazards to transportation infrastructure. The outcomes provided, in very general terms, scenarios for the potential impact of these changes (Gaspard et al. 2007). While useful for planning, operations, and disaster management uses, these findings do not provide tangible information for designers on the engineering controls that may emerge in response to greater climatological uncertainty nor the economic impacts associated with the uncertainty. For example, in one scenario designs may adjust to a higher overall level of reliability, which will increase infrastructure costs and maintain current levels of performance. In an alternative vision the engineering could remain the same and performance could reduce by either overall system deterioration and/or increased frequency of catastrophic failures. Currently the knowledge to accurately assess the economic impact of these (or other) scenarios inclusive of user/freight delay does not exist.

This Vietnamese restaurant is located on West Airport Blvd in Sugar Land, TX.
I sat down and they gave me time to read the menu and decide what I wanted to eat, which was really nice. Last time I was there I was really rushed and I was aggravated.
Feeling venturous, I ordered pho with some beef; normally I'd order chicken (Had my gallbladder removed & cannot process fatty foods very well). The broth was clean, the beef looked good, but it wasn't tender, it was very chewy. Brisket tasted like it had been grilled but it was a bit tough to chew through. I still enjoyed it. Although it didn't hurt my stomach I probably wouldn't order it again.
Also, I was starving and ended up ordering 2 fresh spring rolls. The shrimp was good, it was firm and soft, veggies were crisp.
A bit off topic, I have friend who now lives in Vietnam. On one of his first days there he had tried coffee with egg and I have been searching for it since I had watched the video: Feed The Cory: Egg Coffee .It has been proven hard to find. I even tried making it and because of the metal in my arm I ended up aggravating a nerve in my arm and I haven't tried since. Always on the look out for something with condensed milk and egg.
Back to the blog. I had seen this drink with soda, condensed milk and egg yolk. My heart jumped and knew I had to try it! When it was served I almost lost hope. It was club soda and they served two glasses. One with just the egg and milk and the other was just filled with ice. I had no idea what to do, but figured to pour the soda into the milk and egg and mix, then pour it into the iced glass. I absolutely hate club soda. To me it's a bitter soda with no flavor. But for the price it was I had better try it anyway. It was silky smooth with a hint of the egg. Got no taste of the club soda. I really enjoyed this drink.
Overall I like the vibe of the restaurant and will continue to try different items on the menu, as long as they don't rush me!
#1 Beef Noodle Soup w/Eye Round Steak & Lean Brisket – Large $6.95
#2 Fresh Spring Roll – 2 $2.60
#3 Soda Whipped w/ condensed Milk & Egg Yolk – $3.50
Total = $14.13

Dear Treasured Patrons:
Upon much reflection during our summer break, I have come to the understanding that my creative energies are pulling me in another direction. I have always loved tea, and will always want to be around tea, so there will always be tea at Myrtle's. My favorite time of day at Myrtle's will continue to be in the early morning when I am making scones, listening to my 70's music and living in those moments with great joy! However, my creative energies are evolving & drawing me to want to spend more time in the retail space—shopping, creating special little vignettes to display acquired treasures, & DECORATING!!!
With heavy heart, I want you all to know that as of Saturday, August 11, we will be discontinuing our tea lunch service. We will then close the tea house and reopen sometime in November. When you come to the new Myrtle's (and I SO hope you do!) you will see an expanded retail space featuring home décor items in addition to our current offerings. There will be 4 to 5 tables where you can have a pot of tea paired with sweet or savory scones. We will be featuring a new tea list with teas we have been evaluating over the past few years and the current favorites will remain. Oh, and did I mention a completely redecorated building??
I want to thank all of our loyal patrons who have made this 12 plus year journey awesome and wonderful. You have truly enabled me to live my dream!
Finally, I would like to thank all the Merry Myrtle Maids, past & present, who have kept me inspired, but perhaps more importantly, have kept me feeling young at heart!! I will always treasure our early morning kitchen conversations………………….
Aloha,Elizabeth (Myrtle's only grand daughter!)

In Brief
The Hallberg-Rassy 31, designed by German Frers and introduced in 1992, has been one of Hallberg-Rassy's most popular models for many years. The yacht strikes a harmonious balance between comfort, safety and performance as a go-anywhere cruiser on the smaller end of the offshore sailing spectrum.
The yacht enjoyed positive reviews in the press upon her introduction and through the years earned praise from hers owners. Bob Perry, one of the great names in cruising design, wrote in Sailing Magazine, "Frers has given us a nice boat. I like just about everything about this design, from its high cockpit seatbacks to the fractional rig." While closer to home, Swedish yachting magazine Båtnytt wrote, "Extremely spacious, light and inviting interior. The sailing and sea-going qualities are in a class of its own."
Hallberg-Rassy's change to Frers as designer has given this 31 footer a much needed boost of speed over her predecessors, for a cruiser her speed through water and close windedness is excellent in most sea conditions. However she's known to struggle in light winds and also short choppy seas. The boat is well balanced is easy to single hand with all her control lines lead aft to the cockpit.
Under heavy conditions the boat is sea-kindly and has safe docile characteristics, as one owner put commented, "it always feels nice arriving in carpet slippers and smoking jacket rather than a drenched oily."
The design pairs a beamy medium displacement hull with an efficient fin keel and a balanced spade rudder. Her sweeping sheerline belies a low freeboard, which helps keeps her windage low, while interior headroom is achieved by a higher cabin-top. The low freeboard arrangement also manages to keep the crew dry and well protected by use of a high cockpit wall and Hallberg-Rassy's trademark fixed-windscreen.
The rig also continues the theme of cruising practicalities and performance. Frers has opted for a fractional rig, a configuration more often seen in racers, but is devoid of the extra hassles of running backstays to support the head of the genoa, instead relying on its masthead backstay and an aft-swept spreader to provide forestay tension control.
Belowdecks is a layout that feels light and spacious with mahogany joinery that has become a Hallberg-Rassy trademark. There are two spacious double cabins, one forward and one aft, and a large head and shower compartment aft. The saloon is of a good size and there is ample space in the galley and the chart tables is full sized. Going against the "full-sized" theme, owners comment that the berths are quite small, best suited to those under 5′ 10″ in height. The cockpit is comfortable, well protected and can accommodate a decent crew without issues. Part of the starboard seat lifts up to give access to a very generous stowage area.
All put together the Hallberg-Rassy 31 is a solid cruising yacht featuring the popular qualities of larger Hallberg-Rassys in a small package. She can cope safely in all weather conditions, practical for cruising life, and easy to sail. With an extremely long production run from 1993 to 2009, prices can vary dramatically depending on age and wear and tear.
The Hallberg-Rassy 31 continues from a very popular line of 31-footers. The Swedish yacht maker Hallberg-Rassy has alway distinguished itself for building quality yachts on the high end of the market, many noting it as the Mercedes Benz of boatbuilders.
Not long after 1972 when Harry Hallberg and Christoph Rassy merged their boatyard operations to become Hallberg-Rassy, the company's Olle Enderlein designed Monsun 31 quickly became the company's most popular model, in fact it sold 904 boats between 1974-1982 making it the all-time best seller. This model was complemented and eventually superseded by the 312, a more modern design by Christoph Rassy and Olle Enderlein which saw the introduction of a fin keel. The 312 was also very popular with 690 boats built between the years 1979-1993.
The Hallberg-Rassy 31 was introduced in 1992 to replace the long running 312, keeping many of her traits but with a lighter beamier hull and refinements throughout. This time the design was by German Frers who has been the exclusive designer for Hallberg-Rassy since 1989, his designs have added much needed performance to the Hallberg-Rassy lineup.
By 2006, the design was updated with a MkII version, the changes were minor, the most significant is a rig change to a lighter twin-spreader mast and an engine update, there were also many improvements to the interior furnishings. Like her forebears Hallberg-Rassy 31 enjoyed a long production run, lasting 18 years and 356 boats, before being replaced by the Hallberg-Rassy 310 in last 2009 – a slightly smaller and lighter sailboat.

David Horsley
From Academic Kids
David Horsley (March 11, 1873 February 23, 1933) was English born pioneer of the movie industry who built the first movie studio in Hollywood.
|Missing image
Born in West Stanley, Durham, England, a small coal mining village where his entire family worked in the mines. At age nine, he fell on the railway tracks and his hand was badly injured when the train ran over it. Without proper medical care, and fearful of deadly gangrene poisoning, his arm was amputated about two inches below the elbow.
In 1884, the family emigrated to the United States, settling in Bayonne, New Jersey where as a young man he built a bicycle business and ran a pool hall. It was then that he met a former employee of Biograph Studios, Charles Gorman, and along with his brother William Horsley (1870-1956), they formed the Centaur Film Company. By 1910 their operation was producing three movies a week, including the Mutt and Jeff comedies.
David and William Horsely, along with other movie independents, succeeded in defeating the monopolistic hold on the industry of Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company. However, weather conditions on the east coast made filming an uncertain proposition because camera technology at the time relied on sunshine. Frustrated, and realizing that California afforded the opportunity to make films year round, David Horsley moved his operations to the west coast.
In the fall of 1911, the Nestor Motion Picture Company opened the first motion picture studio in Hollywood in the Blondeau Tavern building at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street. With Horsley was Al Christie who served as General Manager and in charge of Christie Comedies plus Charles Rosher who lent his expertise as the studio's full-time cameraman. Other east coast films companies recognized Horsley's advantage and quickly followed his lead.
In May 1912, the Universal Film Company was formed and David Horsley and other small studios merged, each accepting shares in Universal as payment for their business. Horsley received $175,000 in preferred stock and $204,000 in common stock in the new Universal Film Company and was also appointed the company's treasurer. However, the peaceful merger soon turned sour and in 1913 Horsley sold his interest to Carl Laemmle. A wealthy man, David Horsley travelled to his birthplace and around Europe.
After returning to California, and investing in a failed exotic animal show, David Horsley went back into the motion picture business with David Horsley Studios and using the animals from the failed show, established the Bostock Jungle Films Company. By the spring of 1917, he had outfitted his new operations in Los Angeles at Main and Washington streets however a series of setbacks cost Horsley his entire fortune and left him in debt.
David Horsley died in Los Angeles. He is interred in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Hollywood.
His son, David Stanley Horsley (1906-1976), trained as a cinematographer and became an expert in special effects photography, working in the film industry for nearly thirty years.

Spectra Logic introduces Long Term Data Verification for Tape
Spectra Logic introduces Long Term Data Verification for Tape
Reference data is different from primary or backup data. It's typically written once, read a varying number times and seldom modified. And it's not backed up. While primary data has the backup to rely on backups, to some extent, have the primary to rely on. But archive data is on its own. For many organizations, their reference data is a critical corporate asset - like those in media and entertainment, medical imaging or the DoD space. For IT departments in these companies, if a backup fails, people lose sleep. If the archive fails, people lose their jobs.
Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Briefing Note
The storage industry has had systems to monitor the integrity of data stored on various media, from SSDs to spinning disks, for a number of years. In the archive space, this approach has been used by disk system manufacturers to provide assurance that data stored for long periods of time can be read. But disk drives consume power, continuously, so technologies like MAID (Massive Arrays of Idle Disks) which turn drives off when not in use, have again become popular. Interestingly, by powering down inactive drives, the storage industry seems to be making archive disk more like tape. Tape on the other hand is a natural fit for archive data. It doesn't consume any power when not being accessed and has a capacity per sq. ft. of data center space that disk drives are dying for.
It's prudent to verity the quality of assets over time. Like old bottles of wine, companies that rely on their reference data need to make sure these assets haven't 'turned to vinegar' while sitting on the shelf. Up until now, spinning disk has had the advantage of built-in data verification. To provide this assurance for tape, Spectra just introduced BlueScale Data Integrity Verification, a feature that's available on all new libraries and as a no-cost upgrade for existing customers. Here's how it works:
Step 1 - PreScan
Spectra libraries compile a database of information about each tape, such as the number of times it's been loaded and its accumulated read errors. These data can red flag an old piece of media that is nearing the end of its useful life. In the PreScan step, the library checks each newly imported tape cartridge to confirm its age and health and assure it's ready to accept data.
Step 2 - Quick Scan
This process runs a 1-minute checksum scan of the first track on a cartridge, essentially a confirmation that data was successfully written to the tape during the last write cycle. Sometimes software applications that manage tape drives can miss a failure, such as a stuck tape or broken leader. These are rare, but can be found quickly with this step and replaced before the next write operation.
Step 3 - PostScan
This step is typically run on every cartridge, every 12 months or so and does a checksum scan of the entire tape to identify any locations with uncorrectable errors. This longer, ongoing process verifies every cartridge on a rotating basis and is managed by the library and run during periods where resources are available. Together with the PreScan and QuickScan steps, media health and data integrity can be maintained on an archive of any size, transparently to the users and applications which rely on it.
Storage Swiss Take
As reference data sets grow and IT becomes aware of the power and floorspace consumed by these critical assets, tape's becoming fashionable, again. It's density is remarkable, but in the final cost analysis, there's nothing like a storage medium that can be turned off. Rather than trying to make disk more like tape (MAID), big data users are instead turning to tape. Backup failures are frustrating but archive failures can be deadly. In the archiving space, Spectra's Data Integrity Verification is making tape even more appealing.

Phi Beta Kappa Alumni
Phi Beta Kappa Day is just one of the ways RCDS celebrates high academic achievement. While most of our academic honors are given to current students, this particular school tradition honors you - our Alumni. Every year that an RCDS alumnus/a is named to PBK, the School takes a holiday on the Tuesday after Presidents' Day to commemorate his or her achievement. If the School has more than one honoree in a single year, RCDS saves them for future years' celebrations.
For those of you not familiar with Phi Beta Kappa, it is this country's oldest and most widely known academic honor society. Founded in 1776, the Phi Beta Kappa Society celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and each year, only one college senior in a hundred, nationwide, is invited to join. You should be proud to know that RCDS Alumni have been far more successful than this 1% award average. To date, RCDS knows of 60 who have been selected for membership and we suspect that there may be others.
Below is our current list of Phi Beta Kappa honorees. If you know of any other alumni who are members of the Phi Beta Kappa Society please contact Missy Falkenberg at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 732-842-0527 ext. 1142.

How to: Windows 8 and OData Services in a Metro Style Application
A couple of people have requested that I share how I created my Metro App.
The services I used were created on my SAP Netweaver Gateway system, I have recreated the application to use the ODATA.org Northwind service and use images from the Telerik demo site.
As I said in the original post I used the following blog as a guideline, recreating the application I found there were a couple of notable differences so I will start from the beginning.
I downloaded Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISO image and then installed it as a WMWare Workstation, then I Installed Visual Studio 11 Premium edition.
Then install the datajs package, Tools -> Library Package Manager -> Package Manager Console. Type 'install-package datajs'.
I didn't install the jquery package
Inside of default.html add a reference to datajs, I found I needed to add it before other references, there are dependencies in data.js to the sequence.
Next create the data.js code. I kept it simple and retained a lot of the code from the template.
In splitPage.html added some of the additional fields

And that's about it.
To get datajs working in Windows 8 with Netweaver Gateway XML OData services I had to make the following change to return window.DOMParser() instead of the ActiveXObject
The end result should look something like this
