We all have moments when anger arises. Someone is rude or mean to us, blames us for something we didn't do, or harms us in some way. Our anger may turn outwards, causing us to react with hurtful words or deeds, or it may turn inward, causing tension, stress or depression. However it manifests, anger is a poison, polluting our own happiness and that of those around us.
In this class, we will learn and practice ways to release anger – not ignoring, not indulging but instead seeing through to the roots of anger and transforming it into wisdom. We'll examine the real unmet needs that are fueling our anger, come to know our hot buttons, and cultivate a sense of humor to help us through.
The text for this class is: Anger, Buddhist wisdom for cooling the flames by Thich Nhat Hanh. Excerpts from other Buddhist teachings will be provided in class.

We LOVE Dr. Siu and her staff!! They are very caring and professional! Both my son and my daughter have gone through orthodontic treatment (full braces). We have been nothing but pleased with the on going treatment as well as the ending results. Thank you Dr. Siu for giving my kids beautiful smiles and confidence, you did an amazing job :)
Laurie C.
My daughter has been a patient with Dr. Tina Siu for a little over 2 years, and we have been very happy with the care and attention that Dr. Siu and her team have provided. Dr. Siu is extremely professional, has great bedside manners, and really takes the time to make sure the braces are being fitted and adjusted properly. We have total peace of mind and we are so glad that we chose Dr. Siu for our daughter.
Carolyn B.
My wife had braces when she was young, but didn't wear her retainers. So when her teeth started shifting again, we knew we had to find a good orthodontist. We asked around, read some reviews, got a couple of recommendations, got a couple of consultations, and were impressed by Dr Siu. Her staff was also very professional and friendly.
This is what my wife has to say: Shortly after I got my braces on, I got pregnant. Dr Siu and her staff were very understanding and accommodating. They were very patient with me because I couldn't wear the rubber bands all the time due to the need to eat all day! This prolonged the process but Dr Siu was very patient with the whole process and worked around it. I was a bit worried because usually people get braces when they are young, but my results are great! We went over the estimated time because of my pregnancy but Dr Siu did not remove the braces until she was satisfied with the results. A heartfelt thanks to Dr Siu, Kathy, Angie and Erica! I'm very happy with my smile!

307 Poems Ancient & Modern on the Theme of Friendship
Friendship of the theme of central impotence in Buddhism especially in the form of spiritual friendship. And the theme which therefore is essential important and interest in the life and the work of the friends of the western buddhist order. I thing you probably will not come along to a FWBO centre more then two/ three times at the most before hearing the magic words spiritual friendship. And if you go alone to a retreat then you will really likely to find it will be very surprising if you don't find the spiritual friendship is very much in the air. Now this evening I am not going to give a talk or friendship even I am just going to read some poems. Now four reasons which I don't altogether understand myself I have rather gone off giving lectures. I must given several tens or thousands of lectures already in the course of my life. but I have not really quite gone off reading poetry so have been thinking over last few months. Well friendship is a theme that does need to be emphasised. Perhaps even more than we actually do emphasised but I won't give lecture on it. As I might have done ten/ fifteen years ago. I will read some poems on subject on the theme of friendship. And I started looking through English poetry and translation from other languages. I gradually assemble a little collection of poems on the subject of friendship. And it's that collection that I am going to read this evening. I thought it would also a good idea to arranged them in sections so that the readings were not to miscellaneous so after quote a bit a thoughts a arrived at five sections so that the poems are grouped under this five headings.
1) Friendship in the heroic age we then have 2) Rejoicing in friend & friendship 3) Remembering friends 4) Friendship in war and finely 5) Higher dimensions.
Now there were other aspect of friendship which I would have live to have more poems on but unfortunately I could not find them. I would like to have had a few more poems on the subject of friendship and death. That we may remember was the theme of the last poetry reading I gave here or a least one of the theme. I also have had like to had have more poems on the subject of friendship between women. But I am afraid I could find very very few poems on that particular topic so in this connection I would like to say if you personally know of any poems on friendship which are good poems which I have not included in my reading this evening please sent them to me and I would be happy to incorporate them in future reading. Which I may well be giving so lets start before the first section we have just as a sort of prelude or prologue and it come from very known work cold the profit by Kalhil Gilbrain, Kalhil Gilbrain was a Lebanese. He was a poet and a mystic he lived during this century and profit is his most famous work. And in this work there is a sort of imaginary profit figure that to whom all sort of people put all sort of questions very familiar sort of set up they say speak to us about this and speak to us about that and eventually some one asked him to speak about friendship which he does. So it is this particular chapter of the profit which I am going to start of with this evening I think that strikes the sort of note that we will be sounding through out the reading.
First poem :- Section one : Friendship in the heroic age and we going back to a very heroic age indeed. We go back to the epic of Gilgemesh and the ethic of Gilgamesh goes back some four thousand five hundred years. Gilgamesh was a king of Uruk in Mesopertamia which is now part of Iraq and Gilgamesh had a very great friend colled Enkidu. And fefore they actually mate both Gilgamesh and Enkidu had sort of intuation about a coming great friendship. And the text says Enkidu longed comrade one who would understand his hearts becouse that just what a friend is. The friend is one who understand your heart and likewise Gilgamesh himself had a dream in fact he had several dream about his friend he was about to meet. The actual meeting was rather dramatic in fact the text tells is the Enkidu when he heard about Gilgamesh wanted to challenge him and this is what he see in first extract which I am now going to read from the ethic of Gilgamesh.
Second poem :- That what we called now a days fears friendship so Gilgamesh and Enkidu have all sort of adventures together as we encounter them in the epic but unfortunately Gilgamesh looses Enkidu.
Enkidu dies and after his death Gilgameah goes in quest for everlasting life. You might say a rather Buddhistic idea, I am rather remanded of the Buddha seeing the four sights the old man, the sick man, the dead man and then the Saddhu the monk and then going in quest in Nirvana. but before Gilgemesh goes in quest for everlasting life he laments the loss of Enkidu. And he remains the loss in his elegy four housed five hundred years ago.
Third Poem :- So remaining in the heroic age going forward quite a few thousand years we come to China we come to the Chi king or classical poetry. This one of the five Confucian classic. Originally we are told there work some three thousand and more ancient poems. And great Confucius made a selection from this poems. He selected just over three hundred. And this three hundred poems selected by Confucius in the 6 century BCE have came down to us as the chi king or the classic of the poetry. The poems goes back it's seems to the period ruffle one thousand to seven hundred fifty BCE. So even though they are not ancient as a ethics of Gilgamesh they are still very ancient indeed. I am going to read two of this songs. The first is in titled by the translator Bravely affection. And there is footnote which says sung fists given by king to those of his own clan or surname. Clansman might perhafh be substituted for brothers. Through out I shall also mention the brother that brother the word brother as used in the song seems to mean something rather more like what we called friendship and word friend seems to corresponds to more what we called a acquaintance so brotherly affection.
Forth poem :- That's its if it were a slightly a collechue poem but this one is more as it were individual its intitled, Comrades in war time in deals with the friendship between just two people and it goes like this.
Poem Five :- Well we can take that literally or metaphorically ( laughter ).
Now to the heroic age in Greece Homes Iliad. an extract. I better just place the story for you the great hero of the allied is of course Achilles. and Achilles has a great friend. Profoculas and when this aspired begins protocols Achilles great friend has just been killed by Bector the Trojan chief and in revenge Achilles has killed hector and Achilles has dragged the corpse of hector to his camp and there he gives instructions to his men. The melodeons to prepare a pine for protocols . So that he can cremated with full honour's I shall also mention that in this extract Achilles is revered to as Pelious.
Plaids means son of Pelious, Pelious means Achilles. So Achilles has just given his elder's to his men. ahoot the construction of this magnificent funeral pine.
Sixth Poem :- Now to section two, rejoicing in friends and friendship and we are going to start off will a great favourite at least a great favourite of mine some of you must of heard. It already before the other also I must say is a great favourite of mine none other man. Doctor Samuel Johnson and its an ode on friendship. and this poem was written . It seems when Johnson was very young man. It would seem it was written in his teens he may have been only 17 or 18 when he wrote it. In a very enthusiastic mood. So an ad on friendship.
Poem Seven :- So from the 18th century and Samuel Johnson to the 19th century and Walt Whitman I saw in lousanna a live oak growing.
Eight Poem :- Now back in time a little back to the 16th century back to Shakespeare and his sonnet number 30.
Poem Nine :- Now comes a more modern poem, a poem from 20th century and a poem by Edward Thomas and being a modern poem of course his going to he a little difficult ( laughter ) lot any way will do our best its called the sun to shine.
Poem Tenth :- Now we go all the way to China and a poem by Wang Wy who was one of the great at the Tring Dynastyroughly the 8th century AD So its entitled a farewell to Chi Wu Chi who has failed in his examinations and is Neturen home to the county, don't forget in returning home to the country, don't forget in ancient China examinations were the key the passport to official life.
Poem Eleventh :- Then to close this section, rejoicing in friends and friendship, another poem by Samuel Johnson.
This time on the death of doctor Robert levitt. Its a poem occasioned by the death of a great friend of Johnson. Not it is a poem that rejoice in his merit, Which does not lament his death. Robert Levitt had been a lumate of Johnson's house for about twenty years. Outwardly he was a quite unprepossessing a quite unattractive sort of person. he was sort of doctor, we would call him a quack and he and he worked on the poorest of poor and they were so poor. They usvely couldn't pay him and the most common form of payment seems to have been a glass of Gin. Which he readily accepted. Not though he was not at all unattractive character it's seems Johnson really appreciated him and missed him . When he died. so this is thus very moving occasion which he hi myself was quite old man on the death of doctor Robert Levitt.
Twelfth Poem :- Now to our third section a rather short one, remembering friends and again a poem from China by one great poem about another great poet Tu Foo also of the Tang dynasty writing about Li Po again of the Tang Dynasty the poem is called dreaming of Li Po.
Thirteen Poem :- Now back to the England ...

When we were starting a new school, in 1994, one of my first tasks was to hire the teachers who would join us in this adventure of a lifetime. We projected how many students we would have, the subject areas we would focus on and then worried later about where it would be. I put out the word that I was looking for creative, innovative, bright, spirited teachers, and the kind who would relish spending their days with 6thand 7th graders. We were very big on creativity and innovation 21 years ago.
We advertised widely, described the vision for our school, a place that was ready "to prepare young men and women to become lifelong learners with the highest character values and academic goals in a natural New Mexico setting with strong family and community involvement." We wanted our teachers to be role models and we wanted a curriculum that was comprehensive, integrated, developmentally appropriate and performance-based.
The applications started coming in and I began interviewing people whom I believed had the potential to join this team of pioneers working collaboratively to provide an exceptional educational experience. I talked with almost 100 of these people and ended up hiring 8 talented and dedicated teachers – one each for Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Science, Spanish, Art, Music and Physical Education. Each one of these people made distinguished contributions to our early growth and success with precious few resources and a makeshift environment for those first 60 students.
All of those teachers had a can-do attitude, were confident and courageous in their use of original sources with few textbooks and hardly any technology in those early days. The story of the school is interesting in itself and today it is a thriving community of some 550 students, grades 6-12, where the graduates continue to make their contributions to the world at large. (www.bosqueschool.org)
One teacher in particular, the science teacher who is still there after 20 years and going strong, used the local outdoor surroundings as his primary classroom, teaching the students how to conduct field studies in a thoughtful, systematic and meaningful way. One parent, coming into the school where students were organizing and interpreting their findings asked this teacher what text he was using and his response was: "Mrs. X, we are writing the books that other students will read to learn about science." As a university professor she was both amazed and favorably impressed.
This teacher's work, and that of his students, fed data into several local, state and federal agencies making multimillion dollar decisions about how to allocate their resources. Students had the opportunity to not only learn but also to experience first-hand how their work made significant contributions to the community where they lived and beyond. That program expanded into the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP) that now involves over 5,500 students up and down 300 miles of the Rio Grande, far exceeding the water that flows in the river.
The point of this story is that there are few limits to what you can do if you have the right people in the right seats on the bus, a la Jim Collins. It's also important that the bus has a capable, competent driver who knows where he or she is going and what it will take to get there. Equally important is that the bus is in good operating condition and adequately fueled for the journey.
The impact of one teacher influences his or her students to consider how they want to contribute to the world to make it better. The power of that teacher extends far beyond the classroom and laboratory to the farthest reaches of the globe. My response is enormous gratitude for the talents, skills and commitments of these kinds of teachers, doing what they do every day, year after year.

Well, I did it.
I made it to the end, and of course I'm STILL pregnant...but that's ok because I'm sick, and who wants to have a baby when they're sick? Not me.
My Dr went out of town yesterday, so I'm trying to hang on through this weekend and then I'm on the schedule for Wednesday to be induced. It's been an interesting few days.
I went into the hospital on Tuesday with a concern that the baby hadn't moved all day, and I had a fever and contractions, but no other symptoms. My OB's office asked me to go in to the hospital since they were closing and my Dr would be over there delivering. After being monitored for a few minutes and told that the baby's heart rate was too high, I was suddenly kicked out of OB with a mask and a wheelchair and stuck into the ER full of sick, dying, hacking people. This was because I "had a fever and the OB nurses didn't want me on their floor if I MIGHT have the flu". I tried hard to be really understanding, I wouldn't want sick people around the floor if I was delivering. They said they wouldn't let me back there until I tested negative for H1N1. So I sat in the ER for an hour surrounded by moaning, masked, sneezing individuals, and then 3 more hours of waiting for test results and Dr's to come talk to me about them, I was given a clean bill of health, no flu or strep and discharged back to OB so they could figure out why the baby wouldn't move. Ironically, then OB refused to take me because now I'd been down with all the sick people. Yeah, thanks guys...YOUR FAULT. Seriously, the nonsense that goes on in this particular hospital is crazy. The ER Doctor was so mad at OB he was about ready to spit. He couldn't believe they sent me down at 40 weeks pregnant into the ER just because I was running a low grade fever. He said "Lab could have run the swab with you sitting in OB exam!". I had NO other symptoms. No tickle in my throat, clean lungs, clear nose, NOTHING. Thankfully that Dr. was wonderful to me and put me in a new corner of the hospital that was empty and as he put it "a lot more germ free than the rest of the hospital". He gave me a few bags of fluid to help me feel a bit better, and my contractions went away completely.
I never got OB to allow me back to get monitored, so finally my Dr got out of surgery and he set me up for a non-stress test and an an ultrasound to check the baby out down in radiology. The baby's heart rate had come down considerably, but he still refused to move even when poked by me or the radiologist's transducer. Finally I mentioned to her that I hadn't been allowed any food and the last time I'd eaten or had something to drink was at least 5 hours prior...so she ran and snagged me a few cans of juice and some crackers. As soon as I ate it, he started to wiggle around and he passed his test just fine after a few more minutes. They said they're assuming the fever I'd had all day just sort of caused him to hibernate, and it probably didn't help that I hadn't had any calories for 7 hours. Gee thanks.
ANYWAY. It's always gotta be something...doesn't it?
So since I was sitting in the ER with all the hordes of H1N1 people, my Dr went ahead and put me on Tamiflu, so I should be done with my course of that by Sunday. I went back in yesterday for a bunch of other tests to try to figure out the fever which keeps coming back. I'm trying my best to keep on top of my liquids so I don't get dehydrated again. I'm so NOT having this baby while my OB is gone!
This weekend I'm just going to take it easy and stay off my feet as much as possible. Elijah will be home and is going to get the kids out since they've been holed up all week here with me. The weather is supposed to be beautiful, and I hope we can open the windows and get some fresh air before the cold sets in again. I'm not QUITE ready for it to be winter.
Thanks for all the emails and phone calls, sorry I'm slow to get back. I promise we'll be swift to update when things get going. For now plan on hearing sometime around Wednesday!

Bemidji came in looking to make a statement. Moorhead just wanted to continue its 15-year run. After one round this winter, however, nothing has been decided.
The two Section 8AA rivals skated and pounded their way through 59 minutes of a 1-1 tie Thursday night at the Moorhead Sports Center. The game was as even as the score might indicate, as Moorhead (1-0-1) outshot the Lumberjacks (3-0-1) by a slim 29-28 margin.
Moorhead and Roseau have been the bullies on the Section 8AA block for the past decade and a half, as one or the other has captured every section title since 1996. Bemidji is one of several contenders hoping to end that streak this winter. The Lumberjacks players believed Thursday's tie was a good first step.
"I think we proved to everybody that we're a legitimate team and that we can compete," said sophomore forward Matt Serratore, who netted the game-tying goal at 6:42 of the second period, his team-leading fifth of the winter.
On the tying goal, junior defenseman Brady Devescovi ripped a shot off the helmet of Moorhead goaltender Michael Bitzer that stunned him momentarily as the puck dropped into his skates. Serratore, the son of Bemidji State head coach Tom Serratore, fished out the loose puck and tucked it past Bitzer for a 1-all tie.
"I was fortunate enough to get the rebound and put it home," said Serratore, whom his coach, Wade Chiodo, called the "smartest hockey player I've had the chance to coach."
The game remained tied throughout the final 35 minutes, as both Bitzer and Bemidji netminder Miah Graves came up with some big stops. Bitzer finished with 27 saves on 28 shots, while Graves stopped 28 of 29. Graves was part of last year's Lumberjacks squad, which was rudely welcomed back into Section 8AA by Moorhead. The Spuds beat Bemidji twice, 4-3 in the Lumberjacks' home rink and 3-0 in Moorhead.
"We needed to make a statement and gain some respect around the section," said Graves, who felt a scoreless first period was a big step.
Despite giving Moorhead three power plays in the first 17 minutes, Bemidji kept the Spuds off the board. Chiodo had wanted his team to be aggressive, but he knew they had to also play smart hockey and eliminate unnecessary penalties.
"I like playing the physical kind of hockey, in your face, don't give them any room," said Chiodo. "I preach that pretty hard."
Moorhead junior Eric Brenk gave the Spuds the first – and only – lead of the game just 1:06 into the second period. Brenk used his long reach to swipe the puck past Graves as he circled from behind the net. It was his team-leading third of the winter.
In a scoreless third period, Moorhead outshot the Lumberjacks 10-7, but Bemidji had the better of the chances in the overtime, holding a 5-1 shot advantage.
Both coaches felt that the tie was better than a loss, particularly for the Section 8AA seedings – as early as it is to be thinking of the postseason.
"It's only one game and it's a tie, not a loss," said Moorhead coach Dave Morinville. "We'll get better. It's still a work in progress. No disrespect to Bemidji, though. That's a very good team."
"Ultimately, I told the guys that we have to build for the playoffs right now," said Chiodo, who immediately turned his attention to the next game against St. Cloud Apollo on Saturday and didn't want any part in talking about a possible changing of the guard in Section 8AA.
"Mid-January, you can come and ask me that question again and I'll tell you, but right now we're just worried about the next game," said Chiodo.

It can't be easy growing up as a coach's kid. Especially when your father is arguably the most well known coach in town.
For Bemidji sophomore forward Matt Serratore, it just comes with the territory. Matt, the son of Bemidji State men's hockey coach Tom Serratore, is used to getting attention for his surname. But it's his play on the ice this winter for the Lumberjacks that is starting to draw its own notice.
After scoring the only goal in a 1-1 tie at Moorhead Thursday night, he younger Serratore leads the Lumberjacks in points (7) and is tied with Tyler Follis for the goal-scoring lead (5). He has a three-game goal-scoring streak, also getting two each in victories over Monticello/Annandale/Maple Lake and Sartell-St. Stephen.
"He's really stepped up this year," said Bemidji coach Wade Chiodo. "Honestly, I can say this. He might be the smartest hockey player that I've had the chance to coach.
"He's so smart out there. Rink awareness and all those things that you ask for in a kid. He does it and that's why he gets those opportunities."
For his part, Serratore downplayed his quick start to his sophomore season.
"I'm trying to find those soft areas where I can find time and space," said Serratore. "It helps playing with two great, smart line mates. I've been pretty fortunate so far."
A year ago as a freshman, Serratore played junior varsity. He's still slight of build, as the Lumberjacks' roster lists him at a generous 5-foot-7, 135 pounds. He's not the fastest player on the ice, and certainly not the biggest, but his hockey sense is apparent.
"I don't think I finish very well, but I'm pretty opportunistic, I think," downplayed Serratore. "I find a lot of good areas to go to and that's what I try do, I try to hide out there and make some plays."
1. Miah Graves, Bemidji
Graves, a senior goaltender, stopped 28 of 29 shots he faced to help the Lumberjacks to the tie in Moorhead. He was at his best early in the game, when he helped Bemidji kill off five Spuds' power plays with a few acrobatic saves.
2. Michael Bitzer, Moorhead
Bitzer, a junior goaltender, allowed one goal on 28 shots to earn the tie. He was tested late, as the Lumberjacks ripped five overtime shots and had several great scoring chances in the extra session. A great athlete, Bitzer also flashed his quick glove hand on occasion.
3. (tie) Eric Brenk, Moorhead and Tyler Tatro, Bemidji
It's only fitting that in a tie game, the final star goes to a player from each team. Brenk scored the lone Spuds' goal just 1:06 into the second period and continued his offensive outburst, as he now has three of the four Moorhead goals on the season. Tatro didn't get on the score sheet, but his toughness and physical play were noted by his coach as a big reason the Lumberjacks were able to shut down the Spuds.

If I change my user password on MS AD then OpenLDAP on debian can authenticate the old passwd and the new passwd, after 1 hr the old passwd does npt get valid. and on centos Openldap can recognize the new passwd of MS AD if I change the user passwd twice at a time then the old passwd does not get valid. Anyone have got this problem? Any solution? Please help.
While this is really not related to OpenLDAP, I can tell you that this is a "feature" in Active Directory - it keeps the old password valid for one hour (by default, it's configurable).
This, and other weirdness, is described at: http://lsc-project.org/wiki/documentation/1.2/howtos/activedirectory#pitfalls

text: gail811 #51 Posted October 29, 2012 Hey everyone, sorry it's been awhile since I last posted. Thank you all for the best wishes. We have been sailing through 15 - 18 foot swells (according to the captain's announcements). It has made for some rockin and rolling, but , honestly it hasn't been that bad. Lots of movement but it is a really fun way to bond with other passengers. You would be walking along and lose footing suddenly and see other passengers doing the same and we just look at each and begin to laugh because we all look drunk even though we aren't. Although, I am sure there are some people who are tipsy, you just can't tell them apart from any of us, as we are all walking "drunk". Hubby and I were watching "Good Morning America" and lo and behold, they were talking to our captain on the phone, just as Jimbo stated. That was pretty cool. We have not experienced any motion sickness at all...these patches work wonders. I haven't seen any guests getting sick, so if there are any, they are staying in their cabins...which brings to another question that was asked about the amount of passengers on the ship. It does seem a bit less crowded than previous cruises. But then, that could be because some passengers are in their cabins, I don't know. There will be pictures coming, just haven't had the time to get them uploaded. Hubby is at a Blackjack tournament and I am on my way to do some trivia. So we have been enjoying our extra day a lot. I know this might sound strange to some of you, but we actually have liked the movement, then again, we aren't sick. The ships is mostly listing side to side...although from out aft balcony we can see it is also moving a bit front to back, we haven't been feeling that direction much. Anyway...keep the questions coming and... stay tuned. :) Loving your amazing attitude! I heard the interview with the Captain this morning and am happy to hear from a passenger that things are not horrible on board! I am looking forward to your pictures! Thank you for taking time to give us a firsthand account! The Miracle is my favorite ship and I am following this trip with interest! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is about helping search engines understand your business better and how it compares to your competition. Getting your website noticed by potential customers can be difficult. Search engines such as Google often change their algorithms and your competitors may have written fresher content and have higher quality links to their website.
We have helped many businesses rank higher on Google. We start by doing an SEO health check. Once we've analysed the issues on your website we can develop a plan. This plan may include fixing issues such as:
- Structure of HTML
- Meta descriptions
- Speed of website
- Quality of content and keywords
- URL structure
- Quality of links to your website
Search Engine Optimisation is a long term process. Some fixes will have quicker results than others.
We cannot guarantee you first place on Google or any other search engine. Any company that does is lying to you. We can however help you resolve SEO problems and help improve your search engine rankings.
Our focus is on sustainable SEO that gives you results for the long term, not black-hat quick fixes that cause you problems in the long term.

Make minor edits and review changes — all without opening your report
Written by Rebecca Roden on July 17, 2018
It sounds too good to be true. How much time could you save if you didn't have to open your report just to double-check a field entry or print a page? Even better: What if you didn't have to unsign your report to make a minor edit to your invoice? With TOTAL, it's possible!
From the Appraisal Desktop, simply click on any of your reports to select it. This instantly brings up the Info Pane below. The Info Pane boasts seven tabs, giving you access to important details about your report at a glance — plus the ability to edit fields on your Invoice and Order forms without removing your signature! Watch the video below to see it in action [1:14].
Want the full breakdown? Here's everything you can do with the Info Pane:
- Details: View key pieces of information about your report, including the subject address, the dollar amounts on your invoice, and more. Click Print to send it all to your hardware printer or PDF.
- To Do: Click Edit to work on your To Do list, including adding new items and checking off completed tasks.
- Invoice: If you don't have an invoice yet, you can use the Add Invoice button to create one. Otherwise, click Edit to make changes to your invoice (great for adding a trip fee), or click Print to create a hard copy or PDF.
- Order: Here you can Edit or Print your order form. (Great for printing off directions to the property if you'll be without Wi-Fi.)
- Workfile: Click Edit to add, open, or delete items from your report's Workfile. Or, select individual documents and hit Print.
- History: View each change that's been made to your report, along with who made it — and see every time the report was delivered.
- Preview: Use the Jump to Forms dropdown to pick a page in your report and view it in its current state.
The next time you're about to open up a report file just to double-check a detail, use the Info Pane instead. It's especially convenient if you're using a slower remote connection to access TOTAL — or if you're just in a hurry.
This month we're closing in on 33 years in business. Frankly, we couldn't have made it without you. As our way of saying thanks, you can save $50 on any a la mode product over $99 until 8/17. Just use code ALM33 at checkout to get the anniversary discount. (Not retroactive, and not applicable on renewals or third-party products.)

Man charged in Connecticut cop chase was convicted in 1994 drug murder
Photo: Photos Courtesy Of Connecticut State Police
STAMFORD >> Police say a North Carolina man charged with throwing almost a pound of cocaine out of a car during a chase on Interstate 95 was convicted in a 1994 drug murder.
The Connecticut Post reports 41-year-old Michael Lundy was ordered held in lieu of $500,000 bond Thursday on cocaine possession charges.
Prosecutors say Lundy was an accessory to a 1994 drug-related killing in Raleigh, North Carolina. He served 15 years in prison.
State police say a chase ensued when they tried to pull over the car, which they say was driven by 26-year-old Antonio Freeland of North Carolina. He is being held on a $350,000 bond. They say it ended when the car crashed into another vehicle.
Both men are due in court June 6.

Some medications are taken to manage the pain, nausea, and other symptoms you have with your headaches. These are called symptom-relief medications or abortive medications. The goal of symptom management is to relieve pain and associated symptoms so that you feel comfortable and function normally.
Some medications used to control symptoms can be obtained over the counter. Other drugs used to control symptoms can be had only by prescription. Your doctor may prescribe medication for you if any of the following is true:
- nonprescription pain relievers do not stop your symptoms
- your headaches are severe
- your headaches interfere with your normal activities
The choice of which medication to use is based on the type of headache you have. Also, the medication that will work best for you may differ from headache to headache. It may also differ over time. For instance, the nature of migraines often changes over the years, and new symptoms may arise. In addition, you may actually have more than one type of headache. For instance, you may have both migraine and tension-type headaches.
Sometimes one type of medication stops working well, and another type is needed. However, always consult your doctor before you make changes in the medications you take.

Morning Sky Greenery (MSG) was the first nursery in west central Minnesota to specialize in growing native wildflowers and grasses. In particular, MSG was the first nursery in the area to grow plants specifically for shoreline restoration projects in the region.
MSG's first project was located in the Alexandria area. Douglas County Land and Resource Management, the DNR and local citizens were concerned over shoreline erosion and runoff problems effecting the water quality of area lakes and streams. The health of these bodies of water were in jeopardy due to a rapidly growing local economy and urban sprawl. These planners had the foresight to think creatively and figure out solutions to the inevitable water quality issues they were facing. Morning Sky Greenery, being the only native plant grower in the region, at the time (1995),was invited to help in the effort of restoring shoreline in the Alexandria area. Today, MSG has been providing native plants, for hundreds of shoreline restoration projects all over Minnesota and beyond, ever since!
Choosing the right plants to fit all the variations of soil type and sun exposure, at a particular site, can be an overwhelming task! Let Morning Sky Greenery help you with your project! We are very knowledgeable about our plants and pay close attention to plant communities. We can help you choose the right plants for the right place! Our plants are source identified and are hardened off before you are ready to plant them. We grow durable plants that can take most of whatever nature send their way!

The Seagulls will be heavy favourites to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 1986, as they have been drawn against the lowest ranked team left in the competition.
However, the Sky Blues have already beaten Premier League opposition in the form of Stoke during their run to the fifth round and Kayal knows Brighton cannot afford to underestimate the fourth tier side during Saturday's match.
"It's a big game and we have to be well-prepared, it's a good opportunity for the club to take another step forwards in the tournament, so hopefully we can do that," Kayal told the club website.
"When I was at Celtic we were the biggest team and everyone wanted to beat us - and Coventry City will have that mentality against us this weekend so we have to be ready."
Brighton have beaten Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough en route to the fifth round, while they have not lost any of their last four matches in all competitions.

This delicious family favorite is about as elegant as comfort food gets. Even better, it comes together in just 30 minutes, making it a dish you can feasibly pull together on a weeknight. Serve this pork scaloppine and the rich pan sauce over mashed potatoes for a real deal "happy" meal. For more easy and inexpensive family meals like this one, be sure to check out Julie Grimes' $10 Dinners: Delicious Recipes for a Family of 4 that Don't Break the Bank, available on shelves (and Amazon) now.
How to Make It
Place pork slices between 2 sheets plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle pork with 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper.
Place panko, flour and Parm in a shallow dish. Stir in 11/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper and garlic powder. Separately stir buttermilk and egg together in a shallow dish. Dip pork cutlets in buttermilk mixture, shaking off excess moisture; dredge in flour mixture.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. oil; swirl to coat. Add 2 coated pork cutlets at a time to hot pan. Cook, 1 – 2 minutes per side or just until pork is golden and cooked to desired doneness. Repeat process with remaining oil and coated cutlets. Place cooked pork on a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
Remove pan from heat and add wine and thyme sprigs to pan. Return pan to heat and bring to a boil. Cook about 1 minute or until wine almost evaporates, scraping bottom of the pan to release browned bits. Add stock to pan; bring to a boil. Cook until liquid reduces to 1/4 cup (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat. Discard thyme and whisk in butter. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with pork.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. At TEDx events, a screening of TED Talks videos — or a combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos — sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.
TEDxAUEB was an initiative of the students in Athens University of Economics and Business for the creation of the first TEDxUniversity in Greece in 2013. After the first, second, third and fourth successful events, TEDxAUEB is preparing the next annual event in 2017, driven by authenticity and creativity.
TEDxAUEB 2017: MOSAIC
It's time to share with you this year's theme of the fifth TEDxAUEB and the date of the event. We are looking for one word, defined as: 'a form of art consisting of small irregular pieces of various materials'. It definitely pops up often in your daily life, but is also found in many more places, well hidden and camouflaged. Our whole life is a 'mosaic', many different experiences and moments that create memories. In a constantly changing world that moves frighteningly quickly, we chose to pay attention to those small, almost insignificant, as we sometimes think, pieces that make up a much larger picture.
So this year, in Technopolis, on Saturday, 18 March, speakers and performers, will approach the 'mosaic' through many, unexpected aspects. Not only from the literal but also from the transport perspective, we will hear about the technique of the mosaic, different cultures, different characteristics internally and externally that create either an integrated personality or a unique appearance and a new geographical perspective that you never expected.
TEDxAUEB 2017 Speakers:
Nasia Paschaleri will explain, why our daily diet should be a mosaic of vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates to acquire our body with the necessary nutrients.
Marie Chalaka, on the scene of INNOVATHENS, will share her personal career story: a route of sequences of disparate positions, irrelevant sectors and fragmented occupations, all apparently incoherent and aimless. Collecting experiences and skills as colorful stones, today, she creates a defined mosaic meaningful and substantial.
Ioanna Sapfo Pepelasi on the scene of TEDxAUEB, will talk about the importance of the concept of the mosaic in today's Greece and how several factors make it necessary, to combine historical research with practice.
Antonis Ntzegkoutanis will describe us that the painting on the human body creates a mosaic of images, through the physical characteristics and the artistic touches.
George Dasios will talk about the math standards on brain representation, whose composition is likened to that of mosaic, as each region of the brain has a specific function but all together are related and interdependent to achieve the smooth operation of the instrument.
Eleftheria Zourou will explain how essential is the variety in a group concernig to the professional background and the character of its members to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency, based on the composition of the hard and soft skills available. In other words, the composition of each group can be likened to a mosaic where its members both act as individual tiles, and mutually depend and complement each other, creating a perfect result.
Sebastian Erras will talk about the literal meaning of the mosaic as floor and will travel us around the world through the projection of photos from various floors.
Antonis Tsapatakis will talk about each event in his life, that has contributed as a separate tile in his life, having so many different touchstones, that can be paralleled with a mosaic.
Click Ngwere: She will share her experience about the cultures' mosaic within the greek society.
Fanis Kollias. With a team of people from more than 11 countries, who all together talk more than 20 languages, Solomon aims to exploit the diversity and the variety of our society, a society that could be described as the ultimate mosaic of cultures.
Rain Dove will talk about the body shaming, beauty standards and the individual characteristics that create a beautiful picture that does not follow the standards of beauty.
Olga Goulandris studied in London, History of Art (Birbeck College) and made relevant postgraduate studies (MA, Fine and Decorative Art and Design – Sotheby's.) She also studied Byzantine and modern techniques of Mosaic in Greece, Italy and the United States. The visual artist teaches the art of the mosaic and has created a group of students entitled "Mosaic Κosmos", which conducts several artistic and charitable actions.
TEDxAUEB 2017 Performances:
- The On Stage Ptofessionals is the official musical group of On Stage and the first professional musical theater group in Greece. The group consists of professionals singers and people with developed performance with singing, dancing and acting.
- Fysalida is a dance group based in Heraklion, Crete. The company's research and creative materials are transformed into art through movement, dance, speech, theatre, photography, music, the visual arts and video art.Performance by:Dimitra Daskalaki (dancer/dance teacher)
Marina Christodoulaki(dancer/dance teacher)
Georgia Petrali(dancer/choreographer/dance teacher)
- Thomas Zampras is ready for lots of kind satire and to show us something completely different with its own unique way.

Yoti is a London-based technology company on a mission to become the world's trusted identity platform. Founded in 2014 by Robin Tombs, Duncan Francis and Noel Hayden, they are a team of over 160 people with headquarters in central London, an office in India and a growing presence in the USA. The idea is to replace your paper/card/physical means of identity with a digital format. Think of it as being what Apple Pay is to your Credit Card. We had a chance to talk to their CEO, and asked him some questions.
Robin Tombs, CEO, Yoti:
Can we have a future where all we need is this on our phones?
"We're increasingly living our lives on phones – we can consume a huge range of content, make payments and meet new people. Yet the way we prove our identity is outdated. We still have to show paper documents simply to prove who we are. Yoti gives you a secure digital identity on your phone, giving people a simpler, faster and safer way of proving their identity online and in person.
"The more we use phones, the more important it becomes to balance convenience and security. People want to be able to do more things from their phone, at the click of a button, but this shouldn't come at the expense of their privacy or personal data."
What happens if our phone gets stolen?
"If someone else had your phone, in order for them to access your Yoti app they would firstly need to know the PIN to your phone. They would then need to know the PIN to your Yoti app. Our system only allows someone to make so many attempts at the PIN before they are locked out of the account. For every wrong guess, the length of time you are locked out increases so someone can't make brute force attacks against your PIN, they have to try each guess one by one.
"When a higher level of security is required, people can also take a live selfie to prove their identity. Yoti matches your biometrics to your ID documents, which makes it secure and impossible to fake."
How does the security compare to things offered elsewhere (which have been hacked)?
"Traditionally companies store all of their customer information as user profiles in one big database, which then becomes a hot target for hackers. This is why people have lots of personal information – such as their name, email, address and date of birth – exposed at once.
"At Yoti, we store user profiles differently. When someone creates their Yoti, we take each piece of their information (their name, DOB, gender), encrypt it, separate it and securely store it. Only the individual user has the keys to unlock, reunite and access their data. This means that if a hacker did somehow manage to breach Yoti's highly secure databases, they would only find meaningless separate names, dates, genders that don't not link to a user profile.
"In some data breaches, it's been revealed that data wasn't encrypted. Encryption is important because people value their privacy and anonymity. Nobody wants to share every detail of their online lives with everyone else.
"At Yoti, we use advanced hybrid encryption and the best practice in encryption – using the strongest algorithms and the strongest length of encryption keys. When data is shared between two people, or between a person and a business, only they can see the data. This is because both parties need to have Yoti in order to access the data, so the information always stays within the Yoti ecosystem."
Do you have many security people/teams/setups?
"There are now 180 people working at Yoti, including a team of developers and a team of security experts."
What is stopping somebody like Apple from offering this on their phone?
"We wanted to offer as many people as possible the chance to have a secure digital identity, so Yoti is available on both iPhones and Android phones. By making it available on different operating systems and to a broad range of phones, people can use Yoti to prove their identity regardless of whether they're an Apple user or not.
"Yoti provides one secure digital identity that can be used in a whole variety of situations – they can prove their age on nights out, checkout faster with alcohol at supermarkets, verify their identity to businesses in seconds, and even log into websites using their biometrics."

When you manage a project, you are expected to tailor your approach and select the processes and best practices to ensure you reach your objectives. Writing a book is a project. I think you know what I will say next. But I will say it anyway. If it is a project, why not use project management?
This past year, I have been focused on writing a book. It is NOT about project management. It is a book about a part of my journey in life. A book about making friends with death. There comes a time in life, when we start to lose some of the people around us. And you can be prepared. While the book, currently titled, Car Pooling with Death: How living with death will make you stronger, wiser and fearless, is with the editor, I thought I would share with you how project management helped me tackle this challenge.
- Conduct Feasibility Analysis
One of the best pieces of advice I received was to investigate other books available on my topic. Amazon is the perfect place to conduct this type of research. Using several different keywords and search terms, I was quickly able to see the depth and breadth of what was available. I even purchased some of the books, to become familiar with how others were addressing the topic of learning to deal with death.
Before the feasibility analysis, I had started writing some sections of the book. Completing the feasibility analysis helped me to see where my writing could fit in and encouraged me to continue with my book project
Many books discuss death and dying, and grief. Books that bring Buddhism into the conversation are a smaller subset. Within this subset, books, where the author uses his or her personal experiences to mentor others through the process, are not plentiful.
- Work with a Subject Matter Expert
Everyone has a book inside of them – but it doesn't do any good until you pry it out. – Jodi Picoult
For three years I walked around with the idea for, Car Pooling with Death: How living with death will make you stronger, wiser and fearless. I had an idea of what this book could be, but I had no experience with writing a book. I did not know how to tackle this project, and even after my feasibility study, I had doubts. I realized that if I did not get some help, I would never complete the book. I found someone who has expertise in writing your book and getting it published. My coach and subject matter expert had a process to guide me through my work. In his way, he broke the project of writing a book into smaller more manageable steps.
- Use Mind Mapping
One of the first things that my subject matter expert (SME) had me do was to create a mind map around the idea of my book. His approach was completely low-tech. A big sheet of white paper and colored pens were all I needed. And to trust him, because while I had watched others engaged in mind mapping sessions, I was skeptical. I was uncomfortable doing any drawing – but somehow my stick figures and squiggles helped me to become clear about my message.
- Define YOUR Scope
Like MOST stakeholders, there were times when I wanted to make changes or additions. But, by using mind mapping, to help capture the major themes of the book, I was able to discern whether or not something really belonged in the book. Having a solid idea of what the book was supposed to convey, and then how best to deliver that message helped to keep me on scope. Having a good editor was helpful to this process too.
- Use Sprints
My SME is a firm believer that once you create your mind map, and spend time with your topics, it's time to write. He leads you to write the initial rough draft of your book during a sprint of about one month in duration. Based on the type of book you are writing, he assigns you a word count for the completed draft. You have a burndown chart, that shows how many words you need to write each day to complete the sprint. Each day you type in how many words you have written, and you can see whether or not you are going to make your goal.
- Use a Communication Plan
When I first embarked on this journey, I was hesitant to share it with others. Quietly within my mastermind groups, I began to discuss this idea about helping others make friends with death. I was afraid that people would shoot this idea down, and some did. But MOST felt that this was something that I should bring forward. I began to talk about it to more people. Now, I am sharing it with you.
If I want to do more than write a book, if I want people to READ that book, then I have to tell them about it. And this calls for a communication plan. It means identifying my stakeholders, and mapping out what to say to them and when.
- Gather Lessons Learned
Writing seven days a week does not work for me. The burn-down chart that I used assumed that every day for one month, I would write. I quickly learned that that does not fit my style. I need at least a one day break in order to recharge.
As with any project, it is essential to keep good notes on lessons learned as I traverse the project. Perhaps, because I am doing something new, I am more aware of the value of capturing my lessons learned as they appear, and not waiting until the end of my book project. This is a project I plan to repeat. This is my first book, not my last book.
PS. If you would like to receive updates regarding the launch of Car Pooling with Death: How living with death will make you stronger, wiser and fearless.

Apparently, last week's security updates caused a couple of new problems which have now (hopefull,) been fixed.
The new cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1607 (Anniversary Update) KB4015438 patches two issues introduced by last week's Patch Day. This raises the version of the Anniversary Update version of Windows 10 to 14393.969. The KB4015438 update seems to fix two issues introduced last week that affected some users of the operating system after devices were updated with last week's security updates.
The first issue caused programs that use Microsoft MPEG-2 handling libraries to crash (e.g. Windows DVD Player). The second issue listed by Microsoft affected customers with Switch Embedded Teaming (SET) enabled who "might experience a deadlock" according to Microsoft.
Windows 10 KB4015438 fixes crashes and hangs
According to Microsoft's Windows 10 version 1607 and Windows Server 2016 update log, KB4015438 fixes the following issues:
Addressed a known issue with KB4013429 that caused Windows DVD Player (and 3rd party apps that use Microsoft MPEG-2 handling libraries) to crash.
Addressed a known issue with KB4013429, that some customers using Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 1607 Client with Switch Embedded Teaming (SET) enabled might experience a deadlock or when changing the physical adapter's link speed property. This issue is most commonly seen as a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION or when verifier is enabled a VRF_STACKPTR_ERROR is seen in the Memory dump.
KB4013429 refers to the previous cumulative update of Windows 10's Anniversary Update version.
Woody notes over on InfoWorld that Microsoft has yet to patch an Internet Explorer bug that breaks Dynamics CRM.
Günter Born notes on the other hand that the cumulative update does not fix the system restore no longer working issue that some users experience after installing January's KB3213986 update.
KB4015438 is already available through Windows Update. You can run a manual check for the update by going to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
If you prefer to download the update manually, point your web browser to Microsoft's Update Catalog. There you find the cumulative update listed for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.
The 64-bit versions of the update have a size of about 1 Gigabyte, the 32-bit version about 560 Megabyte.

How To Carry Out A Percona MySql 5.5 Migration With No Downtime
Gabriele Lomusico, Cloud Systems Developer at Cloudreach, explains how he completed a Percona MySql 5.5 migration to AWS with no downtime.
Migration context
The customer asked us to move seven on-premises databases to AWS in a short period of time (about ten days) without any downtime.
Each database was configured in replication mode (master/slave) with a Percona MySql version 5.5. The databases were installed on physical machines with no test environment, only production. Each of the database would be about 500GB in size, containing lots of stored procedures and triggers.
Migration strategy
The migration strategy that was adopted involved creating a daisy chain of slave on AWS, with two slave instances that would receive data from their master on premise. Binary logs were used to catch up with the modifications happening after the launch of the database dump.
Phase #1:
Once the replication was configured, the first slave on AWS (SLAVE 2 in the picture) was promoted to being the new master and the master on premises was cut out and no longer used by the business applications.
Phase #2:
Even though we were clear on the strategy to adopt, we had to quickly decide if the target AWS database would be a self-managed RDS instance or an EC2 instance and this is what I will present in the next paragraph.
AWS infrastructure: RDS or EC2 db instances
Moving to RDS
Moving to a self-managed database is an attractive solution because a lot of time-consuming actions are handled directly by Amazon (like OS and software patches). On the other hand, going to a self-managed solution, like RDS, implies some restrictions. So, you really have to check the Amazon RDS limitations (here and here) before deciding to move to RDS.
In our case, RDS limitations were not an obstacle, as opposed to other restrictions concerning the actual migration procedure to AWS.
When performing a homogeneous migration (MySql to MySql), Amazon recommends using native tools instead of other migration services like DMS, which is mostly recommended when migrating from engine A to engine B. Moreover, the DMS feature CDC (change data capture) is not supported with MySql 5.5.
Therefore, the only options at our disposal to migrate to RDS consisted in the following export/import tools:
- Percona xtrabackup
- mysqldump
The main difference between these two tools is that xtrabackup makes a physical dump of the database while mysqldump makes a logical dump. As a consequence, xtrabackup results in a faster and raw export/import process, while mysqldump is much slower but produces a cleaner output table in terms of memory.
The tool xtrabackup is not supported in the case of MySql version 5.5 by Amazon RDS import procedure, only MySql 5.6 is supported at the time this article was written.
This procedure involves the creation of an xtrabackup of the database and then copying it to Amazon S3. RDS will then import the dump from S3 (here and here).
The only remaining option was to use the mysql native tool, mysqldump. This procedure involves creating a dump of the master on premises and copying it to an EC2 instance on AWS. From this instance, an import operation is launched into RDS.
The procedure is broken down into three diagrams below:
Phase #1: Create a dump file using native tool mysqldump, compress it and copy it to an EC2 instance.
Phase #2: Start import operation from the EC2 instance.
As said before, mysqldump performs a logical dump of the database. This procedure is much slower then xtrabackup. In our case, considering the size of the database, the import operation could take up to 15-20 hours. Others time-consuming operations that must be performed include: the export time, the transfer time to AWS and the compression and decompression of the dump. All these delays can easily add up to more than 30 hours for one single database.
Moreover, you might have surprises during the import operation into Amazon RDS, where some of the statements of the dump file are not compatible with the restrictions of Amazon RDS.
Another point to take into consideration is that all stored procedures, triggers and events must be exported and imported manually into RDS, as indicated by the AWS documentation. Also, with RDS being a self-managed database, you cannot allow users to have all privileges. You will have to reconfigure some of the users to make them compliant with RDS.
The customer didn't have any test environment for the database, thus it was impossible to perform (export/import) tests without impacting the production environment. Because of the production impact and the time constraints that were imposed to us, we couldn't test the import operation of the dump into AWS RDS.
Whether you use xtrabackup or mysqldump at the end of the procedure, if the database is live during the export/import migration, you will have to catch up the data to the master latest state using binary logs.
Considering all the analysis above we decided to perform the migration onto EC2 instances.
EC2 instances using xtrabackup tool
By migrating to EC2 instances we were able to use the faster tool xtrabackup. This tool couldn't be used to move to RDS because the AWS procedure to import the dump requires MySql version 5.6 and we had MySql 5.5 on premises instead.
By using the xtrabackup tool, the import operation took about 30 minutes instead of 15-20 hours of mysqldump.
Data integrity
It is important to test data integrity before cutting out the master on premises. For this purpose, you can use the Percona tool: pt-table-checksum.
Can we go to RDS eventually?
The answer is definitely yes. We advised the customer to first upgrade his database instances to MySql 5.6 and then enable the use of xtrabackup for the import operation into RDS.
