Flexera Software Enhances AdminStudio Suite to Provide New Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Application Virtualization Compatibility
IT can now perform compatibility testing for terminal and remote desktop services for VDI, and advanced application virtualization compatibility testing for Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenApp and VMware ThinApp
Schaumburg, IL - July 25, 2011 Flexera Software, the leading provider of strategic Application Usage Management solutions for application producers and their customers, today announced enhancements to AdminStudio Suite, which powers an enterprise's Application Readiness process for migrations to Windows 7, application virtualization and day-to-day application packaging operations. The new release delivers expanded virtualization suitability testing and centralized dashboard reporting, empowering organizations to choose the optimal virtualization technology for their business needs based on actual compatibility with their applications.
Rapidly gaining traction within enterprises today, virtualization is one of the hottest IT trends and promises tremendous value, flexibility and savings in delivering applications to end users. But without automated tools for compatibility testing, packaging and preparing virtual applications, IT can be unprepared for the task and at considerable risk of project failure. "A key challenge for enterprises is understanding ahead of time whether applications can be virtualized, and if so, with which application virtualization technologies," said Maureen Polte, senior director of product management at Flexera Software. "The automated virtualization testing tools offered in this release save time and money by helping IT avoid inefficient 'trial and error' testing. Now enterprises can deploy virtual applications more quickly and confidently in a virtual environment they know will work."
This latest release of AdminStudio Suite provides automated application testing for compatibility with multiple virtualization technologies including Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenApp and VMware ThinApp, as well as enhanced testing for Remote Desktop Services. "We provide a single solution to test applications for compatibility with the multiple application virtualization technologies that may form part of a virtual client, or virtual desktop Infrastructure strategy," said Polte.
The new release also incorporates compatibility testing results for Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenApp and VMware ThinApp into AdminStudio Suite's centralized reporting dashboard, as well as compatibility test results from AdminStudio Suite's Compatibility Solver tool, which performs Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Internet Explorer 8 compatibility testing. "With a centralized reporting dashboard to view the compatibility of all an enterprise's applications with different virtualization technologies, IT can substantially expedite the process of selecting the appropriate virtualization technology," added Polte.
Today's launch also includes support for Microsoft App-V 4.6 Service Pack 1. This enhancement ensures support for the latest Microsoft virtualization technologies, allowing packagers to create, test, edit and store Microsoft App-V 4.6 SP1 packages.

Subject: Rude awakening
Sat May 12, 2012 11:02 pm
Dirk awoke with a start when he heard a door slamming, and as soon as he did, he felt a throbbing pain in his head. His eyes opened wide, but he shut them again after realising that it was probably just the liquor shop owner leaving to run errands like he usually did in the morning. It was probably still pretty early and since he had been sleeping so little lately, Dirk decided that a couple more minutes of sleep wouldn't hurt, and he curled up in his cloak a little. However, his head was so painful he wasn't able to fall back asleep.
He sat up on the floor and realized that hid head wasn't the only painful part of his body. His ribs hurt like hell, and in that position, he even had a bit of a hard time breathing. It felt like each of his muscles were sore. He started massaging his temples. God, where even was all that pain coming from? His muscular soreness probably came from all the walking he had done the day before, but he didn't have a clue what could've caused that headache. He thought to himself that a nice, cool bath would probably help, and then he remembered that he didn't have a bath. He didn't even have a bathroom of his own. Right.
He stood up and cautiously cleaned his cloak a little. Actually, he couldn't complain; the owner of the liquor shop allowed him to used his bathroom when he was out. It was probably more than what most people would've done for him, he thought. The bathroom was on the second floor, so he went up the stairs, groaning with pain. When he got there, he walked into the tiny room and closed the door behind him. He began carefully undressing himself, removing his cloak and shirt first. He took his boots off and walked a few steps towards the mirror. He looked at his reflection while carefully touching his rib area. Nothing seemed like it was broken, but he had a large and dark bruise on the side of his torso. He frowned, wondering what exactly had happened to him.
He walked to a corner of the room where there were three large water containers. He picked one up with difficulty; it was heavy and his soreness didn't help. He poured some water in a metallic basin at the center of the room, meticulously measuring the quantity. The owner didn't like when he used too much so he had to be careful. He then put the container back in place and picked up a washing cloth. He kneeled next to the basin and started slowly washing his torso and arms.
That's when he really started thinking. He went through the events of the previous day in his head. He had went to see Equius and pick-up some equipment, and then he had spent the day walking through the Low district. He had picked something to eat at the market... He also had been followed by a girl dressing up as a carapace, right. He sort of had gotten into a fight with her. No way she was the one who beat him up like that though, right? He remembered taking her mask off. He remembered her bright, pink eyes, but that was about it. And he vaguely remembered getting back to the liquor shop.
He washed his hair for the first time in a while with the same low-quality soap he washed his body with. God, did he miss the Palace. Back there, he could wash his hair with actual shampoo. He actually had servants to wash his hair for him. He felt a sharp pain in his head, a bit different from the constant throbbing he had felt since he had gotten up. He thought he probably hit his head somewhere... that was the only explanation for both the pain and the amnesia. He probably needed to go to the hospital... but it's not like he could just go, so he would have to tough it out.
After he was done cleaning, he put his clothes back on, except for his cloak, and he put away his stuff. He then proceeded to get back to the basement. He was starving but he wanted to check on his equipment before going out to get something to eat. When he got to the basement, he dropped his cloak on a chair and he gave the room a circular look, trying to spot his crate. He found it in a corner, next to a shelf, except it was in pieces. He didn't remember why it was in that state, but at this point, it wasn't surprising anymore. All the equipment was scattered on the floor, which was odd, since it wasn't like him to make such a mess.
He picked up a as many circuits and chips he could hold, and put them on a table. He sat down and started examining them to see if anything was usable at all, but most of the equipment had been damaged during whatever incident had shattered his crate. He examined a couple of pieces, but he wasn't able to go on for too long; his headache was making it too hard to concentrate. So after a while, he just sat there, kind of just staring at nothing.

Dove silently entered the liquor shop and eventually found her way down to the basement where the rebels headquarters lay. The past few days had been anything but productive but whispers from the Horrorterrors told that change was going to happen soon. Good or bad she couldn't say- any decision had its pros and cons. Taking her mind off of the past Dove looked around the room. It wasn't the most cozy place one could be at but it definitely was not the worst place either. Across the room sat the 'Prince of Derse' Dirk Strider. Walking over to him she noticed he seemed to be in a kind of daze.
She said lightly tapping him on the shoulder. A quick look at the desk revealed he had acquired more machine parts and had planned on working on them. It seemed odd that he was staring into space instead of knee deep in steel and cords.
"Is something wrong?"
She asked as she withdrew her hand.

Dirk was still sitting on his chair when Dove walked down the stairs into the basement of the liquor shop. He had tried a couple of times to concentrate on his task, but it's like he was in too much of a daze to focus on anything. He didn't hear Dove when she walked over to him – maybe it was partly because she was always so quiet – and he jumped a little when she touched his shoulder. He turned his head to look at her, still a bit confused, and he only really recognized her when she asked him if there was something wrong, which seemed to awaken him a little.
He raised from his chair and he moved a bit closer to Dove. He cupped her neck with one of his hands and he kissed her cheek the same way he usually greeted his friends.
"Good morning Dove."
He moved a bit away from her, towards the center of the room.
"No, I'm fine... I woke up with an awful pain in my head. I think I might have hit it somewhere, but I can't seem to recall..." He said, massaging the bridge of his nose. "I haven't been able to do anything all morning. I can't concentrate. I should probably go to the hospital, but... you know. Well, I guess it will get better if I rest."
He started to pace up and down the room, gesticulating as he spoke:
"The worst part is, a lot of the machine parts I picked up yesterday are damaged beyond repair. I don't know what happened, but the crate I was carrying them, in kind of exploded. I will probably have to pay another visit to Equius, but I don't see how I possibly could. If I can't focus on work here, when I know I'm safe... I mean. I can't risk going to the High district, with all the agents and highbloods, right?"
He sighed, slowed his pace, and came to a stop. He looked at the ground. He didn't like the idea of having to rest. He just had too many things to do, and resting usually made him feel useless, like he could spend his time in a much more useful way than this. That's mostly why he hadn't been sleeping much during the previous year – and because of the stress too, of course. He was the kind of person who just pushed himself until he couldn't take it anymore.
He raised his head to look and Dove and grinned at her.
"What about you, Dove? What brings you here?"

Dove felt a strong hand lightly grab her neck as a kiss was placed on her cheek. The Prince was always a respectful one even in times like this. "Good morning Dirk." She said in return as the man began to pace about the room as he began to 'rant'. A small smile appeared on the girls face as she watched the Prince go back and forth, back and forth until he eventually stopped. "I'm not sure why I came here, I just felt like this was a place I should be at this morning." Striding over to him Dove lightly grabbed his hand and pulled Dirk back over to his seat and pushed him into it.
Standing behind him Dove began to massage his shoulders lightly. "Stress is horrible on ones health Dirk." She said simply feeling all the tense muscles in his broad shoulders and continuing to rub them. "It's not like you to be unable to concentrate on your work. Are you sure you didn't hit your head too hard? I might have to find you something to help if you did. We can't have you out of commission now can we?"
"If you are that in need of machine parts why don't you get someone else to pick them up? Or even ask Equius to put them somewhere hidden where you can get them?"
Dove said as she ran a single hand through his hair checking for a bump and could feel the coarseness soap gave to his hair. Quickly she found a bump at the back of his head and lightly poked it. "Does that hurt?" She asked and began to make a mental note to go find some ice for him.

Still standing in the middle of the room, Dirk cocked an eyebrow incredulously. "Is this some kind of a psychic thing?" He said, referring to her affiliation with the Circle of Horrorterrors. " I wish I had that kind of insight, it certainly would be useful." He chuckled to himself before Dove grabbed his hand and lead him back to his seat. He felt Dove's hands gently slip on his shoulders as she began rubbing them lightly. He closed his eyes, his muscles starting to relax.
He caught himself thinking about the Palace again, something he did a bit too often lately. He used to think he wasn't such a pansy, and that he could get used to living in... lesser conditions. However, he often found himself thinking about the comfort he used to have back at the Palace. His discomfort was usually what reminded him that he wasn't as hardened as he thought he was, but today it was much the contrary. Dove's hands working out his knotted muscles reminded him of his military training, but more specifically of the treatment he sometimes received after a session of training; his servants would give him a bubble bath and then give him a massage. Sometimes he even fell asleep during the process, both because he was exhausted after training and because he got so relaxed.
Dove cut his train of thought short when she spoke to him, and Dirk fluttered his eyes open. "I know it is. How would you expect me not to feel stressed, however? It's not like I can help it". He groaned as she rubbed his back a bit harder. "Dove, I think that's why the Gods sent your here... This feels so amazingly good. I didn't know you were that skilled with your hands...", he said, obviously teasing her.
"Well... I don't know. Do you have a charm against headaches and a bit of amnesia? I really wish I could remember what happened last night... I could probably ask someone to stop by Equius' place to get new parts, but I can't ask just anyone. It's too risky for most of the rebels since they have no business in the High district. They would stand out too much, the agents would notice them. And I can't contact Equius by mail since, once again, it would be too dangerous. Besides, it would take too long, so I might as well wait until I get better."
He felt Dove's fingers run through his hair, which sent a shiver of pleasure down his spine... It was abruptly replaced by a sharp pain, though, and Dirk couldn't help but jerk his head and look at Dove with almost angry eyes. "Yes. Yes, that hurts."

"Maybe, maybe not." Dove said at Dirks comment to her having some kind of 'psychic thing'. Her hands began to rub harder as she got to the more tense muscles and Dirk responded with a groan and some teasing. If one were to look at Dove at that moment they'd see the faintest of blushes but it quickly vanished as the girl spoke again. "That would be a horribly dull job, I just know how to relieve stress easily."
As she continued with her massage Dirk began to talk about how he couldn't just send anybody to Equius lest they get caught. She had to agree with him there. In the streets above them you could almost feel the static of tension between lowbloods, highbloods, and humans. Anyone who wasn't completely on the bitches side walked with an aura of fear around them, always wondering if they were about to get attacked. Her own thought process was distracted when she felt a shiver run through Dirk and she thought about teasing him back but he quickly looked back at her angrily when she tapped the bump on his head.
She gave a small smile as she looked at his orange eyes- that's what he got for teasing her. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know that would hurt so much." Dove said and lightly tapped the Princes forehead. "I think I may have something for that headache though." She stepped away from Dirk and strode over to where she had entered and knelt down to grab a book she had placed on the ground and almost forgot about.
Walking back over to the Prince Dove began to flip through the pages of her book before placing a long finger on a passage and staring at Dirk. She pulled out a thin strip of paper from the back of the book and throwing it into the air she began to read the ancient passage and the paper which had fallen to the ground began to give a small glow as words were written into it. Finishing the spell Dove closed her book placed it on Dirks table and picked up the charm.
Stepping closer to the Prince Dove placed the charm on his forehead- there really was no need for that but it did make healing take place faster. With a light tap of her finger the paper seemed to be sucked into the Prince. "There, it might take a little bit since it's not a normal headache but it shouldn't take too long." Dove said before moving back to continue the Princes massage.

Dirk squinted his eyes and glared at her half-jokingly. For some reason, her apology didn't seem all that sincere–maybe it was because of her smile, or maybe it was because of the way she patted his head, which made him feel a bit like a child. He blinked at the tap; it might have been light, but it still managed to send a wave of pain through his skull, though at this point, he wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not. She then told him she might have something to help make him feel better.
"Really?", he said, the glare in his eyes changing back to a more neutral look. "That would be lovely... As enjoyable as this is, I wasn't planning on sitting around having massages all day."
He watched her as she walked towards the staircase and picked up a spell book. She then proceeded to flip through the pages of the book, probably looking for a magic formula against headaches. He looked at her curiously while she performed her spell. It wasn't the first time he had seen one being performed; when he was younger, at the beginning of a new year, the Black Queen used to take him to the Temple of Horrorterrors to receive a charm that would keep him healthy in the next year. Even so, magic had always been fascinating to him.
Finishing her spell, Dove picked up the charm from the ground as glowing words were written on it. She placed the charm on Dirk's forehead and he shivered as the charm was magically absorbed by his body. He was familiar with the process, but it had always felt a little odd to him, unpleasant even. Like the temperature of his body had suddenly dropped of a couple of degrees.
"Thank you, Dove. I'm sure this will help."
As the girl continued his massage, he opened a drawer and took out a notebook. He slipped Dove's book a bit further on the table, placed his notebook in front of him and opened it to what looked like a random page. He flipped through a couple of pages, which were all full of either scribbled words or sketches. He stopped to a page on which there was some kind of a list. He looked at it for a couple of seconds.
"So... what shall we do today?" He said as he kept flipping the pages of his book. "I could keep working on the machine parts, but since you're here, I'd like to do something you could help me with–that is, if you're not busy today. We could go for a walk... I've been working on maps, you could help me with that. Or we could plan a meeting. I want to pay a visit to the armory soon, since I believe we will need weapons shortly. We haven't made any significant progress in the past months, beside recruiting new people, and I think that acquiring weapons would be a nice step towards taking down that
damned witch
. We will most likely discuss this at our next meeting. What would you like to do?"

Stopping the massage Dove looked at Dirks messy scrawl in a notebook he had opened, it seemed to be some kind of list. As the Prince began listing off some things they could do for the day Dove moved a couple of items to a different part of the table and sat down upon it placing her book in her lap. "No no, I'm not busy today. There's not much one can do in times like this anyways." She said and waited until Dirk had finished talking.
Seeing as how earlier Dirk had been struggling just to concentrate on working with his robotics Dove ticked off that idea as a 'no', besides he seemed like a caged lion in here. Making maps seemed like a good idea since when this whole fighting actually got started the rebels would know every nook and cranny of Derse like the back of their hands, so that idea was a 'yes.' Planning a meeting would also be a decent idea but with no progress to show it would be quite the pointless meeting.
"Hey Dirk how's the whole 'kill the bitch' plan going?" "Good good, we got absolutely nothing done! We've got this covered don't you worry."
Dove held a hand to her mouth as a giggle escaped her lips as she thought that using Dirks voice and her own. It was made even more amusing due to the fact that those sentences were so 'out of character' that just thinking them in those voices made them funny. Straightening herself out again she decided she had probably left Dirk sitting there in silence for long enough.
"Well all of those things have valid points but I think it'd be best to hold off the meeting for a bit until something- no matter how minimal has been achieved. The blonde tapped her fingers on her book and stared into space for a moment before speaking again. "I have no actual preference on how we spend the day but the most probable idea would be to kill two birds with one stone." Looking over to Dirk she gave the slightest smile. "You could always work on your maps and while doing that maybe head over to the armoury as well. Though I do hope you have an idea on how you are going to start sneaking these weapons around without her knowing." Dove finished and lightly swung her feet back and forth.

Dirk raised from his chair when Dove giggled. He looked at her curiously, wondering what was so funny, but she seemed deep in thoughts and not likely to share anytime soon. After a while, she gave him a reply.
She was probably right about the meeting, now that he thought of it. He had thought more of a meeting in which he would give people actual tasks, and discuss future projects like for example, acquiring weapons and vehicles, but people would probably just ask about accomplishments and results. Sometimes they didn't seem to quite grasp the fact that, as much as he'd like to, he couldn't just do everything on his own. He wasn't sure he wanted to hold a meeting if it was going to end up like that. He would have to do that meeting eventually, and like Dove said, the accomplishments that would be done until then would probably be minimal, but there was a few things he could still do before that. For example, finishing his maps. He let out a sigh.
So planning the meeting was a 'no'. He felt a lot more like going out, anyway. Even if pretty much each of his muscles were sore, he didn't feel like staying inside. Besides, fresh air would probably help his headache too–not that he didn't trust in the effectiveness of Dove's charm, he was more like looking for an excuse to go out. It seemed like the best option anyway since his attempt at working on his machine parts hadn't been really successful earlier.
"About the armory, I meant it more as a future project, Dove. I don't have a plan yet. Besides, we can't go there with just the two of us."
He grinned at her.
"Working on the maps seems like a good idea, though."
He walked over to another table and opened a few drawers, looking for his sketchbook. Not being able to find it, he looked around the room, wondering where it could be. He then remembered he had probably left it in his bag after yesterday's events. He walked to a chair on which his bag was resting. He picked it up , opened it and took out his sketchbook. He brandished it to Dove.
"You'll need one of these. I think we have spares on a shelf somewhere."
He put the sketchbook back in place, closed his bag and slung it over his shoulder.

Dove nodded at Dirk as he decided to just go with map making and watched the Prince look for something. He had eventually pulled out a sketchbook and told Dove she'd need one too. Getting up the girl scanned the room quickly before beginning her search. Her long fingers traced over assorted items in search of the extra books as she heard Dirk grab his bag.
"Where should we start?" She asked still faced away from Dirk as she moved on to another shelf to see if her luck was better there. It seemed it was because eventually she found a spare book. Grabbing it she walked back over to where she had left her spell book and picked that up as well. Striding over to Dirk she looked at the boy.
"Who knows, maybe by doing some map making you'll remember what happened to you last night." Pushing a couple of blonde strands of hair out of her face she shifted the books in her arms. "I'm amazed you can stand it here Dirk. It's so stuffy down here, almost as if the walls are trying to suffocate you." The girl instinctively put a hand to her throat but quickly let it fall as she adjusted her stance. "Ready to go?"

As Dove started looking around for a sketchbook, strode to one of the desk and opened a drawer. He picked up a few charcoal crayons and put them in his bag. He then walked to another table, picking up his cloak that he had placed on a chair, and putting it on. He pulled the hood up, making sure his eyes were covered. Having his visibility reduced like that wasn't very convenient, especially for a task like making maps, but he didn't have a choice. At Dove's question, he picked up his sketchbook once again, flipping through the pages quickly.
"Well... I already covered most of the Low district, so either the High district or the slums. The High district would be a lot more useful though, since there is barely any patrols in the slums. Did you find one?"
He said, as Dove was grabbing a spare book, and walking over to him. At her comment on what happened to him last night, he shrugged lightly.
"Yes, maybe. I guess it will come back to me eventually." He then cocked an eyebrow. "You really think that? Maybe you're right. In any case, I've lived here for about a year now, so I probably got used to it." He once more made sure his hood covered his face properly and walked over to the staircase. He replied to Dove's question as he went up the stairs: "Yes, I'm ready, let's go." When he got upstairs, he pushed the door of the liquor shop and made his way outside.

If you're gearing up for a Star Wars rewatch and want to avoid the prequels as much as possible, this could definitely save you a few precious hours.
The folks at Double Digit have taken all three prequel films — The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith — and sliced and diced that footage into a svelte runtime just under three hours. Yeah, that's right — they chopped the total run time more than in half, and still seem to have hit the narrative high points and strengthened a few others.
Heck, axing most of Jar Jar's scenes make this a must-watch, anyway. The creators claim many large plot pieces have been removed or changed to strengthen the core relationships between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. The recut was inspired by Topher Grace's similar project.
If you have the time and want to give it a shot, check out Turn to the Dark Side: Episode 3.1 (Special Edition) below and let us know what you think. Just hurry up — we'd think Disney will have this thing yanked offline sooner rather than later:

Hutchinson CC Sports Information
The Hutchinson Community College men's basketball team shot 50 percent or better for the 11th time this season and had the second-most blocked shots in single-game history on Wednesday night as the Blue Dragons rolled by the Dodge City Conquistadors 94-53.
Hutchinson shot 52.5 percent in the first half and used a 24-8 run midway through the first half to open a 50-23 lead. The Blue Dragons finished the game at 53.3 percent to shoot 50 percent or better for the fifth time in the last six games and in 11 games this season.
Freshman center Fred Odhiambo blocked a career-high nine blocked shots to lead a 15-block performance from the Dragons. Those nine rejections are the third most in Blue Dragon single-game history. Odhiambo had eight blocks against Dodge City in the first meeting on January 23. The 15 team blocks tied the 2003 Blue Dragons for the second most blocks in a single game. The 2003 Dragons blocked 15 shots against Allen County in the Jayhawk Shooting on December 8, 2003.
Hutchinson improves to 21-6 overall and 12-6 in the Jayhawk West. Hutch completes the season sweep of Dodge City, which dropped its 10th game in a row and fell to 7-20 overall and 2-16 in the Jayhawk West.
Sophomore James Rojas had his second-straight 20-point game with 24 points on 9 of 12 shooting with a 3-pointer. Rojas had six rebounds and three assists.
D.J. Mitchel had 18 points, hitting 3 of 9 from long range. Saquan Singleton had 11 points on 5 of 6 shooting with eight rebounds. Malique Jacobs Chris Giles and Rheaquone Taylor had eight points each.
Every Blue Dragon to play scored, had at least two rebounds and one assists in the game.
The Blue Dragons hit 40 of 75 total shots, nailing 5 of 17 from 3-point range. Hutch was just 9 of 20 from the free-throw line. The Dragons out-rebounded Dodge City 60-42 and had 22 assists and 11 steals in the game.
The Blue Dragons held down the Dodge City's Jyrus Freels, Jayhawk Conference's leading scorer. Freels was six points under his 19-point scoring average with 13 points on 5 of 14 shooting. Justice Dixon led the Conquistadors with 10 points.
Dodge City was 21 of 77 shooting (27.3 percent), going 3 of 21 from 3-point range and 8 of 16 from the free-throw line. The Conqs had 16 turnovers.
The 53 points allowed were the fewest Dodge City has scored against Hutchinson since 2003 then the Conqs scored 52.
Freels scored with 12:20 to play in the first half to cut the Dragon lead to 12-11. Hutch answered with back-to-back Giles baskets and a Mitchell 3-pointer to go up 19-11 with 11:19 to go. That was the start of the key 24-8 run that was capped at the 6:09 mark of the first half when Rojas stuck a 3-pointer to give Hutch a 33-16 lead. Ultimately, Hutch outscored Dodge City 38-12 over the final 12:20 of the first half, hitting 5 of 11 from 3-point range.
Hutch pushed the lead to 30 for the first time at 59-29 after a Rojas layup. Odhiambo's tip-in with 9:41 to play increased the lead to 41 points. Hutch's largest lead was 47 points after a Singleton jumper with 4:25 to go.
The Blue Dragons will travel to Colby for a 5 p.m. game on Saturday in Colby.

For commercial properties, landscape irrigation is often the single largest use of water.
Irrigation systems can use as much as 50% of a facility's water profile. It's also an area of great concern for property damage.
Broken Irrigation Line Under Parking Lot
Case in point: this large commercial retail property found a gusher of an event when the automated, "smart" irrigation system started up for the spring.
Water from a broken irrigation pipe flowed between 45 and over 100 gallons per minute. Enough to waste over 110,000 gallons in a day, and erode part of the parking lot foundation.
A 40 gallon per minute leak will waste over 110,00 gallons of water in 48 hours. That's enough for 3 weeks of peak watering at a typical facility, or about the volume of a backyard swimming pool. Imagine if waste at that level happens for a week?
Chart of Real Time Water Use
Because the property had APANA's Intelligent Water Management Platform, they were alerted to the issue in real time and were able to get a landscape irrigation contractor to fix the broken pipe in a matter of days.
Had the property been unmonitored, the waste event would have run until sinkholes in the parking lot were unmistakable.
Being forewarned is forearmed. APANA offers real-time protection against the dangers of water. The benefits and peace of mind provides returns beyond water conservation alone.

The arrival of efficient frontiers for retirees
David Barrett & Luis Sarmiento
The global financial crisis (GFC) has had a lasting impact on many retirees and their financial advisers. Large market corrections resulted in significant capital losses, hitting hardest those who had recently invested into the market and/or just retired.
The GFC led to greater recognition of another type of investment risk beyond those traditionally considered (which include, for example, interest rate risk, business risk, credit risk, legislative risk, call risk, inflation risk, liquidity risk, and systematic risk). Sequence of return risk has emerged as an issue for retirees, their advisers and superannuation trustees.
Broadly, sequence of return risk involves the risk that lower than average expected returns occur early in the anticipated investment term, and have a detrimental effect on the overall investment result.
Given that 94 per cent of Australian retirement savings are invested in account based pensions1, which presumably are exposed to a significant degree to market-linked assets, the issue of sequence of return risk is very relevant to the Australian retirement income system.
The strategic asset allocation decision (arguably the most important portfolio construction decision in terms of its impact on return variability over time)2 is generally based on traditional efficient frontier analysis. Traditional efficient frontier analysis involves mapping the universe of possible portfolios by expected return and risk, and identifying those portfolios which either minimise risk for a given level of expected return, or maximise expected return for a given level of risk. The question that has emerged since the GFC is: given that traditional efficient frontier analysis does not incorporate the impact of sequence of return risk, does it fail to adequately address retirees' needs?
In this article we firstly demonstrate that sequence of return risk is real and a valid concern for retirees, and that its impact is magnified by increasing the level of drawdown from an investment portfolio. We will then examine the impact of drawdown levels on the traditional investment portfolio efficient frontier analysis, and offer a number of conclusions from that analysis. Finally, we'll question the traditional concept of 'risk' - what is the actual 'risk' that retirees are most concerned with, and how does that affect our findings.

After Lester's shellacking, I said that we could all look forward to his next start, when he would surely be so dominant and so in control of everything that that egregious excuse of an outing would be a mere blip on the radar. Lester most certainly delivered, confirming that in a do-or-die situation, he's the one you want with the ball. Or Buchholz. But you know what I mean.
It was awesome. Lester manhandled the Rays. He had their number all the way through. He tossed seven innings, gave up no earned runs on only two hits, walked five, and struck out ten. He no-hit the Rays through the first three. You can thank Scutaro and his throwing error for the unearned run. Overall, the outing was spectacular and I will most definitely take it, but what was interesting was his walk total. He threw 106 pitches, but his strike rate was just above fifty percent. That's pretty low. But his pitch, strikeout, and hit count would all indicate efficiency. So he had some bumps along the way, but he adapted perfectly and used what was working. He worked his fastball up to ninety-four miles per hour and made it cut like none other. His offspeeds weren't there as much. But you could tell from the first pitch he threw that he wasn't about to let this one get away. This was the first of a series of three with the Rays, and he wasn't about to disappoint. Adaptability is the mark of a great mature pitcher. Lester has come a long way and the best part is that he's still going. Shellacking? What shellacking?
But last night was really a two-man show, the other being Lester's batterymate. V-Mart provided two-thirds of our offense. He blasted a solo shot to left in the first and again in the seventh. Both were rockets. Both were deep. Both were off Price. Both were on fastballs up. Thus, he continues to own Price specifically and southpaws generally.
V-Mart was as stellar behind the plate as he was at the plate. In the sixth, Bartlett hit a base hit into center field. Upton started from second and rounded third. McDonald fired home. And V-Mart positioned himself exactly right and was waiting for Upton with the ball. Out at the plate. That was huge. It was McDonald's seventh assist of the season. Honestly, there was no way Upton was going to score. He hesitated before he took off and wasn't prepared for the wave home. I don't even know why they decided to send him home with nobody out. That was an error. Whatever. More goodness for us. It was a perfect play. If you look up "plate-blocking" in the dictionary, you will see a freeze-frame of this play.
The blasts bookended Lowrie's RBI single in the fourth. And Lester's characteristically strong outing was punctuated by equally strong performances by Bard in the eighth for the hold and Paps in the ninth for the save. Paps gave us a scare, as unfortunately he occasionally does; the Rays had two on with two out. But it was all good. Jaso struck out looking, and we won, 3-1.
So the battery got it done. Lester handled the Rays, and V-Mart handled both Lester and the Rays. It was fantastic. It was the absolute right way to start off this series. With this win we are now four and a half games behind the Rays and Yanks. That's the closest we've been to first since July 7. It doesn't sound like much, but at least it's something. One step at a time. We've won seven of our last ten, and we need to build on that. It won't be easy; Pedroia is probably done for the season because he'll probably need surgery, which means that we'll have to proceed with about half our starting lineup out for the season. On the bright side, the bench has plenty of experience covering for him because he's been out for so long. We have already shown that w can win as we are. I'm telling you, if there's any team that could pull that off, it's this one. Nobody has a deeper or more experienced bench that's been playing ball as good as starters out there than we do. I wouldn't count us out. We have a long way to go, but we can get there. Buchholz will take on Garza tonight. This is going to be great. Buchholz will so have it.

The Touraine has large deposits of limestone across the region. This is highly visible in its use of light tuffeau stone used in so many local buildings such as the one at Chêdigny, left.
Below is a map from 1948 showing the sites of Fours à chaud or Lime Kilns and their spread across the Touraine. A lime kiln is an insulated chamber or oven used to produce quicklime through the calcination of limestone. It is a process that has been used for many hundreds of yeas to produce lime to use in mortars and as a stabilising agent in mud rendering and floors. It also has long history of agricultural use as a means of increasing pH levels in acidic soils and improving the uptake of plant nutrients such as Nitrogen. Take a look at the Fours à chaud marked as:…..it's also an interesting sketch map for other reasons, enjoy:

Why drink more water?
Our bodies are made up of about 60% of water.
It is an important part of taking care of our body's health and incorporating into our lifestyle (if you haven't already).
It helps our most essential body organs such as our kidneys, helping filter out waste and our skin elasticity. Water filters through our cells and keeps our skin hydrated preventing wrinkles and skin irritations.
Water assists in delivering oxygen throughout all parts of your body. Dehydration can affect brain function and structure.
Drinking water also helps keep the muscles hydrated when exercising to prevent muscle fatigue.
Other things water helps with…
- Hangovers
- Weightloss
- Body temperature
- Less joint pain
incorporating it into your lifestyle…
Try to keep track of your intake, no one expects you to drink the recommended intake right away, but keeping your body hydrated will make a big difference in energy and health.
Keep a water bottle with you or a refillable one
Pace yourself
An app will remind you each time to take a sip of water
MyWaterBalance is available on the app store for free and reminds you to take a drink of water and helps keep track of your intake.
To conclude…
Take baby steps with filtering out sugared drinks and incorporating water or mineral water, your brain and body will thank you.
Starting the day off with water and a squeeze of lemon is the best boost of hydration and really helps with digestion.
(If anyone is interested the recommended intake is 11 cups of water for an adult female and 15 cups for an adult male.)

Court Case Involving Massachusetts Health Care Law Shows Relationship Between Medicare Payments and Medicaid
In 2006, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney signed Chapter 58 of the Massachusetts Acts of 2006 into law. Chapter 58 was designed to ensure that all Massachusetts residents would have access to some form of health insurance, and it accomplished this through reforms to the individual insurance market; subsidies to purchase health insurance; and an expansion of the Massachusetts Medicaid program, known as "MassHealth." Many observers have suggested that the enactment of Chapter 58 in Massachusetts paved the way for enactment of the Affordable Care Act at the federal level four years later (although Governor Romney strenuously denied this during his campaign for President in 2012).… More
Medicaid: A Winner in the 2018 Midterm Elections
Despite all of the drama surrounding the 2018 midterm elections, one thing was clear: Medicaid had a big night on November 6, 2018.
In particular, the electorate in the Red states of Nebraska, Idaho, and Utah voted to expand Medicaid (i.e. extend Medicaid coverage to low-income able-bodied adults). Although the Montana electorate rejected a ballot measure that would have permanently funded the Medicaid expansion in that state beyond 2019,… More

How to Cook Sweet Potatoes
Loveleena Rajeev
Nov 24, 2018
The yummy sweet potato is an amazingly versatile vegetable that can be cooked in a number of ways. Get to know the methods that one can use to cook this tasty tuber.
Sweet potatoes can be baked and/or grilled in an oven, cooked in the microwave or on burners, and used for making a wide variety of meals. Before you get down to cooking potatoes, a word about its selection.
Choose small to medium-sized ones if you plan to cook them whole, else large ones for frying chips and wedges, and making mashed potatoes would be perfect. Select potatoes that are firm and rounded or oblong with unblemished skin.
Avoid potatoes that are soft or squishy to feel, and ones with green sprouts, they tend to poison the potatoes. Before cooking sweet potatoes, scrub the skin well to remove all dirt. Cut or peel all bruised or sprouted portions. Once the selection and cleaning is done, it's time to cook them in a few different ways listed here.
In a Microwave
When using a microwave, wash sweet potatoes and pat them dry completely. Leave the skin on and pierce each potato a couple of times with a fork. Piercing is essential to ensure that the steam has a let out and the potatoes do not explode in the microwave.
Place a baking sheet on a microwave dish, and arrange the potatoes on it, ensuring that they do not overlap each other. Microwave them on for about five minutes, turning them over once in-between cooking time.
Peel potatoes or use them for cooking after letting them stand for a couple of minutes, this will soften them while holding them firm. If you plan to mash them, microwave them for two extra minutes on high.
In a Crock Pot
Crock pot or a slow cooker is a great way to cook food for those who are short on time. You can leave the food cooking on for hours without burning it, or worrying about it becoming nutrition deficient.
Take the same-sized peeled or unpeeled potatoes, wash them well, without drying them. Place them in the crock pot and cook on high for about three to four hours depending upon their size. One can add seasoning, herb garnishes, or gravy to the sweet potatoes to enhance their taste while getting a meal ready.
In a Conventional Oven
Sweet potatoes can easily be baked in a conventional oven without worrying about it burning. Preheat the oven to 350°F. After washing the potatoes, prick the skin several times. This will help the steam to escape, as the potatoes are getting baked.
In an oven proof dish, place a baking sheet with potatoes spaced out or wrapped in an aluminum foil. Bake for an hour, turning them over once. Remove from oven, and place on a wire rack to cool them off. One can even bake a potato casserole completely with seasoning and other vegetables.
Cooking sweet potatoes also includes boiling them in hot water for half an hour, as well as frying them in hot oil.

I have often ask, "Do you know why older people are so sensitive?" quickly followed by my version of the answer; "It is because unlike joy which is somewhat limitless, our ability to deal with rejection which is the source of most sadness, is like being born with a book of tickets. Each time we face rejection we would use one or more tickets. As we grow older, we realize that we still have a long life ahead of us but not enough tickets left. So we choose our battles and weather the rest".

Tell the Trustees I think it is a very good Sickert but the question is whether he is important enough for the Tate. I think not; but as an old friend of the artist perhaps I am a prejudiced judge.
The result of walking round Tate Modern is not an experience of the marvel of creative profundity which gives meaning to life, but more akin to the detritus of a dryly analytical bureaucrat reverting to an infantile stage during an extended breakdown.charles thomson
The domination of becoming produces another sort of fragmentation, which may be called "presentism." Allen Tate has made the point that many modern people to whom the word "provincial" is anathema are themselves provincials in the to an extreme degree. Indeed, modernism is in essence a provincialism, since it declines to look beyond the horizon of the moment, just as a countryman may view with suspicion whatever lies beyond his country.richard weaver
You could stick all my shit in Tate Modern and have an opening with Tony Blair and Kate Moss on roller blades handing out vol-au-vents and it wouldn't be as exciting as it is when you go out and paint something big where you shouldn't do.

The U.S. on Friday formally requested the U.N. Security Council for a meeting on Monday to vote on a draft resolution for additional sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear weapons program, Young Conservatives reports.
Under the draft resolution, Washington is calling for an oil embargo on the rogue state.
The U.S. also wants the Security Council to freeze the assets of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, ban textile exports and end payments of North Korean guest workers.
A statement by the U.S. Mission to the UN reads, "This evening, the United States informed the UN Security Council that it intends to call a meeting to vote on a draft resolution to establish additional sanctions on North Korea on Monday, September 11."
It was not clear how China and Russia will vote. One senior U.S. official said both nations would not go along with anything that goes beyond a ban on imports of North Korean textiles.
Like the Americans, the Chinese and Russians have veto power in the council.

How to care for silk
Caring for silk is easier than you might think. All Alexandria Main silk has been washed before making it into pyjamas, so the natural shrinkage has already occurred and the dye has been tested for colour fastness. Any colours that run are rejected.
I hand wash my silk pyjamas in lukewarm water using a gentle washing liquid. Unless they are stained, you won't need to do much more than a gentle swirl around the water. I gently wring them out and hang them inside on a clothing rack, laid over a white towel to dry. When the pyjams are dry, use a low heat and iron on the reverse side.
Alexandria Main pyjamas are made from hand loomed silk, using weaving techniques that date back thousands of years. The silk has a beautiful starched taffeta feel because it has been made with a traditional manual reeling process. Over time, and with more washing, the silk will become less crisp. Our navy blue silk is softer, for example, than the other colours because it has been over-dyed several times.
Fun facts for you: Silk is one of the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics because it is made from a natural protein structure. It appears luminous because it is made of triangular prism shaped fibres that reflect light at different angles.

Reading time: 5 minutes
I want to start the blog with the topic of life. I apologise for such a heavy topic to start off your journey into The Healthy Playbook, but I feel that we must come to terms with the nature of our lives.
Life is such a fragile thing. In the past month, I have personally seen an old friend get taken away from this world for doing absolutely nothing wrong – a life gone too soon due to someone else's negligence. I have also seen a perfectly healthy family friend, mother of three, and loving wife go from perfectly fit and healthy to stage 4 cancer and eventually death within 10 days. Why is life so fragile? Within a second, it can be taken from you or a loved one. There is nothing that explains the pain and emptiness you feel after dealing with death.
My first experience with death was during high school, our school was deeply hit with the tragic news that one of our cohort had developed a serious case of brain cancer. Walking into the intensive care unit (ICU) at the Prince of Wales Hospital with a few of my friends, I felt empty and full of regret… as if I could have done something to know my friend better or maybe there was something I could have done to help him. The extent of our friendship was sharing a couple laughs playing soccer on the weekend and chatting with him down the hallway to our next class. We weren't best friends but we were friends and by being a friend, you have the responsibility to look after one another. With that being said, walking into his room in the ICU, the mood was set with the darkened room and a few of his closer friends surrounding his bed watching him sleep with cables running out his body in all directions, hooked to all the life support machinery. I couldn't help but cry alongside the dozen or so friends in the room. Normally we would call ourselves manly men, but by seeing our friend in that state, we crumpled into a pool of tears. Sadly that was the last time I saw him, a few days later we were invited to his funeral where our whole grade attended. Again tears could not stop flowing during the eulogy speeches and from that day on, I decided to do everything that I could to prevent myself from going to another friend's funeral.
I've always had an infatuation with health and how our body functions. Even as a child I would read all the science books and study human anatomy. I was intrigued by how the human body functioned. This lead me to picking my degree and studying nutrition. The more I learned about how you can extend your life through proper lifestyle changes the more I committed myself to seeing this through. My past experiences have shown me that life can be so fragile and that poor health can bring so much suffering to not just yourself but your friends and loved ones. I am dedicated to sharing what I have learnt with not just my friends but with the public with the goal to educate everyone that reads this blog about how you can extend your life. I live with motto "Love Life and Live It", because life is too unpredictable not to enjoy it.
Our life and our life expectancy are a culmination of various different factors, but ultimately our quality of life is directly proportional to the amount illnesses we have. I'm not just talking about your common "outside" illnesses like the flu, the cold or even allergies. I'm talking about the hidden diseases known as chronic diseases and their precursors. Illnesses can severely deteriorate your quality of life, not only for yourself but for the immediate circle around you. I believe the two most important contributing factors to combat these illnesses are proper nutrition and exercise. We won't go into these two for now, but I promise you – sit tight because we will go through both in depth in the future. Most, if not all chronic illnesses can be prevented, cured and possibly reversed with the combination of proper cellular nutrition and exercise, after all our body is a machine.
Picture this – If your body was a Ferrari, would you be fueling it with E10 and driving it through neighbourhood streets? or would you be giving it 98 Octane and taking it down to the track? I know which one I'd choose. So now it's your turn to make the choice. If you've come across this post to reflect upon your life or to read more about life in general, I beg you to carefully evaluate those areas of life that need improving and refer to those areas in this blog to help you out.
ULTIMATELY, our lives are dependent on our health. So come along with me on this journey towards health mastery. Life's too short to be full of regrets and poor health, so as they say, "Carpe Diem" – Seize the day.

"The Last Refuge" is my recently-published chapbook from Forest Press.
Science? Fiction? Poetry? Yes, it has them all mixed up like a delicious pint of post-candyshop vomit. From frozen ten year olds to downloadable dreams, hopefully this book has something for everyone and everything for someone.
You can only buy a copy from the publishers at the moment (http://theforest.org.uk/) but it should be available on Amazon in the foreseeable future, though you may have to take out a second mortgage on your Spanish Villa as it's a hefty two pounds British Sterling...!
If you're still not sold on the idea, here's an extract from the book and a glimpse at the (frankly brilliant) cover:
