Each student will perform chemical reactions, record data and analyze the results. "Hands-on" experiences will be emphasized! Questions to be explored and answered include: What does an atom "look like"? Why do elements react with one another? Does a car get heavier or lighter when it rusts? What happens when metals tarnish? What happens chemically when something burns? What happens chemically in an explosion? How does a "breathalyzer" work? Why do Tums help an upset stomach? What is acid rain and how is it produced?
History: Telling Stories
History entails, among other things, myths, tales, and stories that contribute to the human interaction across the cultures of the world. This course will discuss aspects of the historical truth from its origins and interactions as well as its major contributions to the world. Emphasis is given to ancient and medieval periods.
We will explore several different themes: Ruins: Library of Nineveh; Photo and evidence: Hammurabi Code of Law; Ruins and photo: China Wall and Terracotta Warriors; Tale: Kingdom of Mali and Sundiata/Lion King; and Primary Source: Magna Carta.
Short Film Workshop
See movies with new eyes as we explore the short film format through screenings, discussion, and hands-on exercises. Through watching and dissecting award winning short films, we'll discover just what it is about them that makes them so great. Students will workshop stories, figure out how to craft a screenplay, direct actors, and operate camera. We'll spend time talking about the ins and outs of a film set and what happens in that magical window between "Action" and "Cut." This class is limited to a maximum of 12 students.

WMW: Flexible Jobs
Teachers often don't have a paid maternity leave, and so have to try to plan for May/June births to allow a summertime postpartum period. Teachers can't easily take two or three breaks from the classroom each day to pump their breastmilk, and so might abandon breastfeeding when they'd prefer to keep nursing.
Teachers who commented on last week's post and via Facebook confirmed the general inflexibility of teaching. Pastors, on the other hand, and working moms with pastor-husbands, confirmed the flexibility pastors tend to enjoy. There aren't too many perks to a job that requires you to work a lot of evenings and weekends (something pastors have in common with waiters and bartenders, I imagine) but weekday flexibility to care for sick kids and get other personal/family business taken care of is a big one. Until just recently, it was almost always Matt who handled the calls to rescue a sick kid from school, staying home for the repairman to come, running packages to UPS, etc.
I remember when I started my first full-time job, working 8-to-4:15 Monday through Friday. It was a definite adjustment from being in grad school, where my day was a varied combination of classes, part time job, studying at Starbucks, running to Target or the grocery... Suddenly, I was confined to one place for the bulk of the day. I was in an area of the building with no windows, so in winter (when, in Nashville, it gets dark at 4:30) I really felt like I barely saw daylight. If I ran an errand during my lunch break, I remember getting mad at all the traffic, thinking, "Why don't these people have to be at work right now too?!"
At the time, my awareness of people not working 9-to-5 was probably limited to the aforementioned waiters and bartenders, third-shift factory workers, and ER docs. But obviously, the work world is a lot more diverse than that, and getting more so. I remember a stat my high school geometry teacher used to cite: that 75% (or whatever large percent) of the jobs you'll be competing for don't even exist yet. (Who could have imagined a position called "Social Media Manager" or some such in 1995?) Technology has created many career paths we couldn't have imagined, but also changed the face of many other career fields, allowing many people to work from wherever, whenever.
There is such a diversity from the 9-to-5 concept, but there are trade-offs no matter what kind of position you pursue. Teachers get summers off (to some extent), but seem to have very little freedom over their own schedules and things when school is in session. A friend of mine recently transitioned from a demanding but relatively flexible job to starting an in-home day care, keeping two or three children in addition to her own during the day. She has the pleasure of being home with her kids, which she wanted, but I imagine there is much less flexibility than being a SAHM who is not also in charge of other people's children during the day.
For me, I traded greater security for flexibility, and so far, it's working out pretty well.
What are some of the trade-offs of your job? Where do you rank flexibility in comparison to income, satisfaction, advancement potential, etc?

I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head for teachers. We enjoy 2 months off in the summer, a week off at Thanksgiving, two at Christmas, and another one at Spring Break. But we work our tail.ends.off throughout the rest of the year.
In my opinion, my sister has the perfect job for a mommy. As an OT she has the option of working the usual 9-5, working 4 10 hour days a week and having a 3 day weekend, or doing contract work on a part time basis. Strict patient confidentiality laws mean that she walks out of the clinic at the end of the day empty handed...free to enjoy her evening without the stress of bringing work home.

Jessica, your last two WMW posts have been really interesting to me. Although I'm a SAHM right now while our kids are young, I probably will enter the work force at some point while our kids are still at home; when and where largely will depend on where we decide to send our kids to school, which is something I'm thinking a lot about these days. Anyway, your posts have me thinking about the hard issues that will arise once I do back to work, not something I've really thought about before.
Also, when I was pregnant with DAU, I imagined this luxurious, flexible life of a SAHM, able to run errands when I wanted, have play dates whenever, etc. BAHAHA! What a joke. I was really surprised by how rigid my schedule is as a mama due to naptimes and having to lug kids with me every where I go (if they are having a bad day, no sense in trying to leave the house!). I also imagined that I'd have plenty of time to get things done around the house: false! My main job is to play with my kids, and if I'm not doing it, they let me know it! ;)

It's very difficult for working mom to care their child. I agree with you that teaching job is not flexible job. But nowadays many kind of jobs are coming which can be do in home that means home jobs. Home jobs is the best for mom because they can work in flexible manner. she can care of her child and give child facilities to their child.

Pickled Pineapple
I was happy to oblige.
Among the questions: "What is pickling salt?"
In my shorthand recipes, I call for pickling salt. Some other kinds of salt will do. Pickling salt it a pure salt with no iodine and no additives. If you look on most salt containers, you will see they contain anti-caking agents and sometimes other additives. Iodine and other additives can wreak havoc withe fermentation. To be on the safe side, I use pickling salt. Sometimes I buy it at the farm supply in Annapolis where my in-laws live. It is also available on-line, or you might get your hardware store to order some. In other recipes it is perfectly safe to use sea salt or kosher salt.
Another question: "What if a recipe calls for 'organic' honey and you can't find it?"
Since honey comes right out of the mouths of bees, I don't know how it could be anything other than organic. I suppose you could make a distinction for honey that derives only from plants raised organically. But I don't know how you could keep the bees from sneaking in pollen from non-organic fields. I say don't worry about it.
Another question: "If sauerkraut is really smelly, would I be better off making kimchi? I don't know how this is going to work in my apartment, unless I do it in the basement."
I let my sauerkraut ferment behind the door to the stairs leading down to our garage. You never notice it--unless, of coarse, you open the door. I fermented our kimchi in buckets in the kitchen. I happen to like the aroma; my 8-year-old daughter doesn't. My conclusion: this is an individual issue.
A comment: "I was traveling once in Poland and had a terrific pickle soup. Ever heard of it?"
In fact, I have. Also sauerkraut makes a great soup--or so I've heard.
The session seemed to be over in an instant. Later, several of the attendees left comments on this blog. By popular demand, I am passing on the recipe for pickled pineapple with cranberries, a "quick" pickle that I would treat as a condiment, something you could definitely pass around with the Thanksgiving turkey.
1 pineapple, peeled and cored and cut into bite-size chunks
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup cranberries
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
10 whole cloves
In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple, pineapple juice and mint leaves.
In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Discard cinnamon stick and pour liquid over pineapple chunks.
Refrigerate pickles for 24 hours before serving. Refrigerated, they should keep for about three weeks.
Happy pickling everyone.

Ed - re "organic" honey I think at least part of the issue is that bees in some countries are treated with a variety of uncool nasties to protect against various ailments. I can't remember the details but I remember the EU had an issue as a result with a lot of chinese honey. this may explain the organic label

Thank you! I am looking forward to pickling some pineapple. I may try canning some for longer storage, too.

Updating the MobileFirst serverimprove this page | report issue
IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation provides several components that you might have installed.
Here is a description of their dependencies to update them:
MobileFirst Server Administration Service, MobileFirst Operations Console, and MobileFirst runtime environment
These three components compose as MobileFirst Server. They must be updated together.
Application Center
The installation of this component is optional. This component is independent of the other components. It can be run at a different interim fix level than the others if needed.
MobileFirst Operational Analytics
The installation of this component is optional. The MobileFirst components send data to MobileFirst Operational Analytics via a REST API. It is preferable to run MobileFirst Operational Analytics with the other components of MobileFirst Server of the same interim fix level.
Updating MobileFirst Server Administration Service, MobileFirst Operations Console, and MobileFirst runtime environment
You can update these components in two ways:
- With Server Configuration Tool
- With Ant tasks
The updating procedure depends on the method you used at the initial installation.
Note: Installation Manager(IM) does not support rolling back of an update/iFix. However, rollback is possible using Ant or Server Configuration Tool, if you have the old war files.
Applying a fix pack by using the Server Configuration Tool
If MobileFirst Server is installed with the configuration tool and the configuration file is kept, you can apply a fix pack or an interim fix by reusing the configuration file.
- Start the Server Configuration Tool.
- On Linux, from application shortcuts Applications → IBM MobileFirst Platform Server → Server Configuration Tool.
- On Windows, click Start → Programs → IBM MobileFirst Platform Server → Server Configuration Tool.
- On macOS, open a shell console. Go to mfp_server_install_dir/shortcuts and type ./configuration-tool.sh.
- The mfp_server_install_dir directory is where you installed MobileFirst Server.
- Click Configurations → Replace the deployed WAR files and select an existing configuration to apply the fix pack or an interim fix.
Applying a fix pack by using the Ant files
Updating with the sample Ant file
If you use the sample Ant files that are provided in the mfp_install_dir/MobileFirstServer/configuration-samples directory to install MobileFirst Server, you can reuse a copy of this Ant file to apply a fix pack. For password values, you can enter 12 stars (*) instead of the actual value, to be prompted interactively when the Ant file is run.
- Verify the value of the mfp.server.install.dir property in the Ant file. It must point to the directory that contains the product with the fix pack applied. This value is used to take the updated MobileFirst Server WAR files.
- Run the command:
mfp_install_dir/shortcuts/ant -f your_ant_file update
Updating with own Ant file
If you use your own Ant file, make sure that for each installation task (installmobilefirstadmin, installmobilefirstruntime, and installmobilefirstpush), you have a corresponding update task in your Ant file with the same parameters. The corresponding update tasks are updatemobilefirstadmin, updatemobilefirstruntime, and updatemobilefirstpush.
- Verify the class path of the taskdef element for the mfp-ant-deployer.jar file. It must point to the mfp-ant-deployer.jar file in an MobileFirst Server installation that the fix pack is applied. By default, the updated MobileFirst Server WAR files are taken from the location of mfp-ant-deployer.jar.
- Run the update tasks (updatemobilefirstadmin, updatemobilefirstruntime, and updatemobilefirstpush) of your Ant file.

So far we have explored gathering things from our home to act it out
and becoming a part of our story time. We have Counted through our books,
added things together and taken things away. We have made our books come
alive. What more can we add to our story time. Well , When I think of hands
on learning. I think of things that the children can explore. Getting them out
in nature and really looking around their environment. You can use these
experiences through out your day to bring in the relationship of the story.
Take your nature journals with you. Draw a picture or take a picture
of the things you see and then come back and find the stories that will
bring this to life for them. Show them the connection that a book might
have to their life. This is when kids really learn when they can connect
what you show them to an experience that they can relate too. Below
are some examples to get you started in adding Science to your
Story time. Tomorrow we will explore Arts and Crafts. Friday
I will give you many resources to create your own picture book play.
While we were at the beach a few years ago my brother decided
that we ought to order some crabs for dinner. The older kids took
this photo of a crab. We brought this photo home and the little ones
saw the crab. I guess they didn't remember he had once been dinner. (wink)
Suddenly I had their interest. They became curious about crabs.
And so we were able to take this little guy and turn him into a
story with this book below. We could also explore resource books and
learn about what Crabs eat and how they live.
learn about what Crabs eat and how they live.
Another day we were out exploring and noticed this
bird in our tree nesting. We were able to learn to watch from
a distance and then come back and read together about birds.
The great thing about Science is that you can read fiction and nonfiction .
You can introduce the Science and also have fun with it.
Do you have a new pet at home. Why not bring that new
interest to the written word.
You can read reference book about chick. You can learn how
to care for them from books but don't forget the stories. Don't forget
to allow your child's imagination soar.
Just watch your children's interests. Look at what they are
learning about and then choose a book that might relate to it.
You can set up a Science Experiment too. It can be very simple .. As simple as
watching a real bean grow after you read the book Jack and the beanstalk.
Be Creative with it and search the internet for ideas. You don't have
to do these long Science experiments unless you want to but I would
suggest for your story time keeping it simple and just explore.
Over the summer we stopped off at a museum and was able to
watch some honey bees. We searched our library so that we
could read all about them . Books have so much beauty in
them. Get excited about it and share it with your child .

Mergers Situation and Notification Procedures in Namibia ...eight mergers await approval
By Vitalis Mwashimika Ndalikokule
August 2011
Just a Call
SECTION 42 of the Competition Act, 2003 defines a merger as something that occurs through a stock or asset purchase of one firm by another. Section 43 of the Act empowers the Minister of Trade and Industry, with the concurrence of the Competition Commission to determine the merger thresholds.
To do this, it requires a study to determine jurisdictional thresholds for the merger review. As the thresholds are not yet determined, all mergers taking place in Namibia or having effect in Namibia are notifiable to the Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC) in terms of section 44 of the Act.
Firms often seek to merger with or acquire other firms in order to expand business, reduce costs or to increase market power. Mergers may present threats to competition, depending on type of merger and the size and strength of the parties involved. The entire structure of an industry can be altered by a merger.
The Competition Act, 2003 and Rules made under the Act provides a basis for merger evaluation procedures and determination. The Commission has the authority in terms of section 47 of the Act to give approval for the implementation of the merger; or decline to give approval for the implementation of the merger; or alternatively give approval for the implementation of the proposed merger on such conditions as the Commission may consider appropriate.
GDP growth since 2006
Figure 1 shows the five-year moving average of the real growth in GDP (that is, real gross value added at constant 2004 prices as a measure of the output) as reported in the Bank of Namibia Annual Report 2010.
In 2010, the year on year growth in real GDP was recorded at 4.6% from a contraction of 0.7% in 2009. Real GDP growth averaged 4.1% annually for the whole economy over the five-year period. The growth of economy attracts an increasing number of mergers being notified to the Commission. This is also confirmed by the number notifications received in the different sectors of the economy.
Procedures for merger notifications
Merger activity has increased in Namibia since 2009, a sign of business confidence in the economy. The procedures for merger notifications are provided for in section 44 of the Competition Act, 2003 and Rule 28 of the Rules made under the Competition Act. In terms of these procedures, each firm involved in a proposed merger as contemplated in Section 44(1) of the Act must notify the Commission of the proposal in the form of Form 38, and must attach to it a completed statement of merger information in the form of Form 39. Forms 38 and 39 are part of the Rules and are available at the Commission offices in Windhoek, in both hard and soft copies. Figure 2 shows increases in the number of merger cases notified to the Commission.
Figure 2: Increases in merger cases notified, 2009 to 2011
Source: Competition Commission reports
As shown in figure 2, the number of mergers notified to the Commission increased from a total of 12 in 2009 to a total of 26 in 2010. In first half of 2011 the number of mergers notified stood at 20. Commission expects by the end of the year the total number mergers notified in 2011 to exceed that of 2010 by a big margin. This expectation is based on the number of mergers already notified during the first half of 2011.The sectors that contributed to the increase in the merger notifications are shown in Table 1.
In 2010, the mining sector and the financial sector can be singled out as two leading sectors that contributed to the increase in mergers notifications, both having recorded a total number of 6 mergers, followed by the retail sector with 4 mergers notified. In the first half of 2011, the mining sector maintained its lead with 6 mergers notified, with the retail sector also recording a total number of 6 mergers notified.
Approval of mergers
All merger cases (100%) notified in 2009 were either approved or conditionally approved. The majority (99%) of all the cases notified in 2010 were either approved or approved with conditions. The first half of 2011 shows the same tendency. This has been the trend since 2009 as evident see Table 2.
The majority of the mergers approved by the Commission were non-problematic. However, there were few merger cases that were problematic among those that were approved with conditions. As shown in Table 2, there was only one merger that was prohibited in 2010. The merger prohibited involved Ohorongo Cement (Pty) Ltd and AfriSam Namibia Cement Ltd. The merger was prohibited on grounds that it was anti-competitive and was likely to lessen competition in the cement market in Namibia.
Problematic mergers
Mergers that were approved with conditions and those that were prohibited made up a minority of the total number of merger cases approved by the Commission since 2009. Among the mergers that were approved with conditions or prohibited, the mergers that were analysed to be of a competition concern in their relevant markets were the following:
(i) Builders Trade Depot (Pty) Ltd // Pupkewitz & Sons (Pty) Ltd notified on 28 May 2010 and approved on 9 July 2010 with conditions.;
(ii) Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated // Massmart Holdings Ltd notified on 26 November 2010 and approved on 8 February 2011 with conditions.;
(iii) Uramin Namibia (Pty) Ltd t/a Areva Resources Namibia // Erongo Desalination Company (Pty) Ltd; notified on 12 November 2010 and approved on 8 February 2011 with conditions.
(iv) Ohorongo Cement (Pty) Ltd // AfriSam Namibia Cement Ltd notified on 7 September 2010 and prohibited on 23 November 2010.
These mergers cases were showing strong competition concerns in their relevant markets in accordance to Section 47 of the Competition Act.
The Commission approved these mergers except one with conditions. The merging parties challenged the approval of conditions of some of these mergers, either as a recourse to the High Court or as a Merger Review in terms
As such, it resulted in protracted negotiations post merger in the case of Pupkewitz, a High Court challenge in terms of section 52 of the Competition Act in the case of Wal-Mart, and an application to the Minister of Trade and Industry for review in terms of section 49 of the Competition Act. In terms of the review the parties are requesting the Minister to review the decision of the Commission. PF

- (cabinet) a storage compartment for clothes and valuables; usually it has a lock
- A cupboard with drawers or shelves for storing or displaying articles
- (cabinet) a piece of furniture resembling a cupboard with doors and shelves and drawers; for storage or display
I had no idea these were coming. I thought we were just getting plain ole, no-frills cabinets. Nope! We're fancy. We've got pull-out shelves in most of the cabinets (so we can reach the stuff in the back easily), quiet-close drawers, a tip out in front of the sink and tray and platter dividers above the refrigerator. Sweet.
(This is the cabinet area that used to house larger pots and pans... and mice.)

This is "tomorrow," right? It's A tomorrow at least. Anyway, here are the last of my many hockey banquet reports - the senior speeches. I'm going to divide it into three posts, one for each senior, because (surprise) I've made them awfully long.
This is always my favorite part of the hockey banquet - when we hear from the boys themselves. With only three seniors this year (Evan Tironese is graduating as well but was not at the banquet), this portion of the festivities was naturally somewhat shorter than usual, but no less heartfelt and touching. I'm going to divide it into a post for each senior because their remarks deserve lots of space.
Normally at this point I would suggest you guess who the most emotional speech-maker was this year, but with two of the seniors absent it wouldn't be much of a challenge. Brady Wiffen was not likely to choke up reading Viktor Liljegren's speech, nor was Tommy Grant likely to lose it reading Jared's. Mike Prapavessis made up for it though - he struggled enough getting through his speech for all three guys!
There were quite a few similarities among the speeches. All three seniors thanked virtually everyone they could think of associated with the team and program in any way, includng RPI President Shirley Jackson and Athletic Director Lee McElroy. And, unsurprisingly, all three thanked Seth Appert and his staff for giving them the opportunity to play at RPI.
Viktor's speech was first, read as mentioned by Brady Wiffen. His speech was a bit brief since, he said, he had played a double overtime ECHL game the night before the banquet and wrote the speech afterward. He said it was around this time four years ago that he decided to spend his next four years as an Engineer, a decision he is proud of. He said he's learned more than he thought possible and met many great people who supported him and helped him during his time at RPI.
He thanked everyone he could think of and extended a big thank you to all his teammates from the last four years, saying, "I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys and know I've made friendships that will last forever." And to his classmates he said, "We created a lot of memories and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. I wouldn't have survived college without you guys and I'm very grateful to have friends like you."
More coming.

Organizations That Have Actively Lobbied Against the Colorado Mom's Bill — SB 14-136
Below includes the identities of corporations and non-profits that have actively lobbied against the Mom's Bill. This bill, would have delayed the implementation of the highly controversial "Common Core" standards in Colorado for one year, giving the State Board of Education as well as school districts time to review and prepare for its intrusive mandates. The Colorado Mom's Bill would also give school districts a way to opt out of the related testing required by the new state and federal standards.

When the American Red Cross was able to raise $200K+ via Facebook Causes in a matter of days for Japan, I was impressed but honestly not totally surprised. When the pool of people you are talking to is that big and the platform you are talking on is innately social, your ability to get a group of people to take an action is fairly likely. (Not to mention Japan relief efforts being a very worthy cause).
Much in the same way that we take cell phones for granted and even the mobile web, I think the ability to connect millions of people in an instant has become the norm. I also think that's a good thing. From political uprisings to connecting people in natural disasters social has become a tool we can't live without.
And the power of this connection is built for making movements – whether that be a movement to provide disaster relief or something much lighter like getting Oreo into the Guinness Book of World Records for the most likes on a FB post.
The key to starting a movement on social is to ask people to take small, easy actions, because on social even a baby step can lead to fairly big pay-offs. Obama asked his followers to donate $25 and raised millions. The Red Cross took the same approach with Japan. They were also smart enough to realize the value of world of mouth – if you didn't want to donate you could still participate by acting as a "promoter" and getting the word out by donating your status update.
Brand movements should also ask little from their participants, knowing they'll reap much more in return. A single like of a post can result in someone's 200 plus friends seeing your brand.
Some may complain that social has infringed on privacy or caused us to rely on "fake" online connections versus making real friends, but I think social is uniting us in a way that is extremely powerful. I'm excited to sit back and watch what other good deeds we accomplish as one big social community.

It's been a busy week for my LibraryLookup project, which first launched in December 2002. In its original and still most widely deployed incarnation, LibraryLookup is a JavaScript bookmarklet that connects an Amazon book page to the corresponding record in a library catalog. The success of this technique got me thinking about themes I've pursued ever since: the dynamics of user-driven innovation, the protean flexibility of RESTful (Representational State Transfer) Web applications, and the dynamics of lightweight service orchestration.
LibraryLookup's failures were equally instructive. As are other kinds of Web apps, library catalogs weren't (and mostly still aren't) designed for this kind of integration. It doesn't require much, just an unencumbered search URL. Although some catalog vendors provide one, there are a number of others that still don't.
The information architecture of the book world was another cause of failure. ISBNs don't uniquely identify books. There's one for each hardcover and paperback edition, so the ISBN number in your browser had to match the one you looked up in the catalog. On my blog, I wished for a service that would unify these variants, and about a year ago, the Online Computer Library Center granted my wish. It deployed an experimental service called xISBN that maps a book's ISBN to the whole set for that book.
Although a bookmarklet can splice a pair of services together, it can't combine three or more services without relying on some kind of external orchestrator. That was more than I wanted to build and support, so the project was relegated to the back burner for a while.
This week, however, I recalled that I already had one kind of orchestrator in place. It connects my Amazon wish list to my RSS reader, by way of a library catalog lookup. If a book isn't available in the library when I'm visiting the Amazon page, but later becomes available, I'm notified via RSS. The orchestrator in this case is just a Python script that's scheduled to run daily. It was easy to extend it to use xISBN, so I did.
I had earlier shown this RSS notifier in a screencast about client-side intermediation. There I also showed a Greasemonkey script that rewrites an Amazon book page on the fly when it finds that book in the library. Could the Greasemonkey script also be extended to orchestrate a collection of services?
Second, I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of the kinds of advanced Web standards that can make this stuff really sing. The latest W3C APIs all worked well in Firefox 1.0, and they work even better in 1.5. Meanwhile the once-frozen Internet Explorer has thawed and is on the move again. I don't know how far Microsoft will allow IE to go, but the Windows Live initiative gives me hope that the full power of the standards-based Web client may yet be unleashed.

Responding to that question was the task of a panel of heavy hitters at the Web Services/SOA on Wall Street conference on Feb. 27.
Hiram Chirino, co-founder and director of architecture at LogicBlaze Inc., of Marina del Ray, Calif., said the convergence of Web services, SOA and open source is exactly what his company is all about.
In fact, LogicBlaze is in the process of building out a new suite offering of SOA infrastructure software that the company will deliver within a couple of months.
"Were going to move out a stack of our software and recommend that customers use that" for SOA deployments, Chirino said.
And noting the IT expression of having "one throat to choke" over responsibility systems, he said: "Well have one throat to choke, and it will all be based on Apache-licensed software."
Meanwhile, "I think the jurys still out," said Frank Martinez, chief executive and chief technology officer at Blue Titan Software Inc., of San Francisco, Calif.
"The good news is this is forcing commercial software companies to analyze their business models… Thats nothing but goodness for consumers."
Hub Vandervoort, chief technology officer at Sonic Software Corp., Bedford, Mass., agreed that the "jury is still out… Ive seen evidence that could support open-source models to be more expensive."
Indeed, Vandervoort said he believes that "when you buy a software license you are paying for past innovation; when you buy open source, youre investing in future innovation."
Moreover, Vandervoort said, "SOA as a concept will challenge the whole concept of one throat to choke. SOA means federation and is built from federated components that are boundless."
Han Zaunere, president of New York PHP, an organization for the Apache, MySQL and PHP community in New York, said, "The idea of having one throat to choke is a long-standing one. Theres always going to be a company out there that IT folks depend on. Its whether that company is closed or open thats the critical difference."
Yet, Vandervoort asks a question many organizations continue to ask themselves.
"Are you prepared to bet your business entirely on open source?" he asked.
"It depends on where," he said. "In less mission-critical areas that have been commoditized, yes," Vandervoort said.
"But if its for innovation you need today, youll probably reach for a vendor. For future innovation, you might rely on an open-source offering."
Blue Titans Martinez said customers should take note of who works on the open-source components they use.
"When you look at open-source prospects, whos actually going to work on them?" he asked. "Are these people considered innovators? If they are, then use them."
Martinez said companies like SpikeSource Inc. and SourceLabs Inc. act like an "Underwriters Laboratory for open source."
However, "I wouldnt look for any of these companies to provide everything end-to-end."

Malcolm Turnbull's departure from politics is good news for all Australians. Considering the media coverage he received after announcing he would not seek re-election in the forthcoming renewal of the federal parliament, you could have assumed one of the greatest leaders Australia has ever seen, had passed away. But Malcolm Turnbull has only political failures plastering his path – and personal success by become a multi-millionaire and the richest man in parliament.
The media will miss this fierce republican and The Age wrote in today's political obituary:
Obviously Tony Abbott's Monarchist conviction is not acceptable for the newspaper's journalist who is not willing to praise Tony Abbott for standing "firm on principle" since they despise the Monarchist principles. Only republican principles are good principles?The Age:
Mr Abbott offered another reminder this week that he is not the moderniser that Mr Turnbull could have been. On ABC television, he scoffed at questions about a republic, saying that "a republic is generations away and I don't expect to be in Parliament when I am 100". By contrast, Mr Turnbull identified where Australia's destiny and heart lay more than a decade ago. The 1999 referendum result does not alter his prescience in leading the Australian Republican Movement.
Mr Turnbull might have been the one to oversee the reformation of the Liberals as a 21st-century party. On defining issues such as climate change and a republic he stood firm on principle.
Mr Abbott has been central in Mr Turnbull's two major political setbacks. Not only did he knock him out of the leadership but he was a main player in defeating the republic referendum in 1999, for which Mr Turnbull had fought.Thank you, Tony Abbott for the double knock-out. Let's hope, Malcolm Turnbull gave himself the final blow.
In June 2009 King Juan Carlos of Spain met the then Leader of the opposition, Malcolm Turnbull, who acknowledged His Majesty's role in the Spanish democracy.

All I can say is wow, what a month September has been! My life has changed so much in the past month, I don't think I've had as many changes at one time since I went to university 4 years ago. I've started my training to be a professional makeup artist, which is a full time course and definitely more intense than university ever was! I'm knackered the whole time but absolutely loving it and I hope to give you a little peek at what I've been doing. I've also decided to resign from my job with Dior as it became too much working alongside my course in the lead up to Christmas.
As a result, my blog has suffered and been put on the back burner. I hope to get sorted for October as I've missed bringing all you lovely readers regular posts. Now I have a little bit more time due to not working I intend to be good and sort my posts out a little further in advance. But a massive thank you to all those who have stuck by me during this little absent period!
What did you think of September at Hanclarky? Which was your favourite post?

The decent rains over the past month has meant that the short grass plains around the southern Serengeti are still able to feed the herds. They will stay here until they are forced to move due to the lack of grazing. The "norm" is that the wildebeest would already have started moving in large numbers, but in the past few years this has been happening later than normal. We are still waiting for the main migration to start moving west and north west, but for the moment they remain around Ndutu.
Safari guests have been enjoying superb gameviewing with predators enjoying the abundance of wildebeest and their vulnerable foals.
The Great Wildebeest Migration moves through the Serengeti and Masai Mara National Parks. We track their progress. The migration path varies from year to year depending on weather and other environmental factors. The blog is the simpliest way to get an understanding of the movements based on recent past movement patterns.

Rains keep the migration around Ndutu

Praise and Worship is an essential part of the life of a Believer. It helps us connect with our Father and serves to remind us to foster an active relationship with Him. He is not a "far off" being that we can never understand, rather, an "up close and personal" Savior who is to be revered and praised.
In our worship, we strive for excellence:
- In Heart/Spirit – we choose to worship Him from a position of forgiveness and humility, not of arrogance, pride, or showmanship
- In Obedience – we choose to exalt Him in Spirit and Truth with lifted voices and hands even when we don't "feel" like it. He always deserves our thanks and praise.
- In Musicality – we choose to produce technically excellent music to the best of our ability and yet believe that the Spirit moves through imperfect vessels in order to glorify, praise, and honor the Father
- In Lifestyle – we choose to praise Him from the standpoint of a pure and holy walk. Our worship services are a direct reflection of our time spent with Him
Join us at Tree of Life Church for a vibrant and relevant worship services!
We are confident it will have a lasting impact on you and your family!
If you are interested in joining the worship team or have any questions or comments, please contact Gregg Barnes at firstname.lastname@example.com.

William D. Rubinstein, co-author of The Truth Will Out: Unmasking the Real Shakespeare, has offered a response (scroll down) to my most recent expression of skepticism about his efforts:
I would like to reply to some of the points made by Mr Veal in his posting about The Truth Will Out, both here and on his own website (Stomata [sic]). They are in error; readers will have to decide whether they are also a comedy.
It is of course possible that The Comedy of Errors was written before its first recorded performance on 28 December 1594, as Chambers suggests, but there is simply no evidence that it was performed before this and recent authorities do not accept that it was. For instance, Michael Dobson and Stanley Wells in their Oxford Companion to Shakespeare (Oxford, 2001) – a source hardly likely to be sympathetic to anti-Stratfordian views – state (p. 84) that "it is unlikely that the lawyers and students [of Gray's Inn] would have hired actors to appear at a grand festive occasion with anything but a new, or at least current play…stylistic texts confirm a dating around 1594, with rare vocabulary placing it between The Taming of the Shrew [c1592] and Romeo and Juliet [c1594]." Two other points are relevant here. First, the Gray's Inn performance was preceded by a series of masques which many scholars, including AL Rowse, believe were by Francis Bacon. Bacon was a close kinsman by marriage of Neville's (Not a blood relative, as is sometimes stated) – when Neville's mother died, Neville's father remarried Bacon's much older half-sister. Both were deeply learned university men and MPs. It is inconceivable that they did not know each other well, and presumably admire each other. Errors is about separated sets of twins. Draw your own conclusion. In contrast, what conceivable connection was there between Bacon and William Shakespeare? As well, Errors was not known to have been performed again until 1604. It was apparently not in the Chamberlain's Men's repertoire, which lends weight to the argument that it was written for a one-off ad hoc performance.
As to the date of the Greenwich performance, 28 December 1594 is what it says. Mr Veal would not dream of questioning it if some other date were specified, but would certainly accept it as valid primary evidence. He has done so here only because it is inconvenient to Stratfordian orthodoxy.
The most remarkable point about this rejoinder is that it all but ignores the major issue – whether, as Professor Rubinstein contends, Shakespeare and his fellows were demonstrably elsewhere when The Comedy of Errors was performed at Gray's Inn – in favor of a trivial one: whether that performance was the play's premiere. Then, having decided to fight on that ground, Professor Rubinstein reads far too much into the authority that he cites. As any reader can see, Dobson and Wells do not assert that the December 28th performance was the first, only that the play was new or current. Their disagreement is with those who date it to the 1580's. What they actually say, as opposed to what Professor Rubinstein reads into them, is consistent with my contention that a date before July 1593, when the French civil war to which a joke in the play alludes came to an end, is most likely.
(Note: One of Wells and Dobson's arguments strikes me as ill-founded. Do we know what sort of plays London lawyers wanted to see in 1594? Many audiences, before and since, have preferred revivals of old favorites over new productions.)
Nor can one infer, on the basis of the fact that only two performances are known from Shakespeare's lifetime, that the play "was written for a one-off ad hoc performance" or "was apparently not in the Chamberlain's Men's repertoire". Elizabethan theatrical records are extremely scanty. The great majority of known performances come from the Revels Office accounts, which do not give the names of plays during the latter part of Elizabeth's reign. Except for Philip Henslowe's "diary", which doesn't deal with the Lord Chamberlain's Men and stops noting titles after 1597, our knowledge of what was playing in the public theaters is near to a blank. As I noted before, Professor Rubinstein seems to have a seriously mistaken notion of the quality and quantity of the extant performance evidence.
He next moves into strange territory. It is not true that "many scholars" believe that the masques preceding the Gray's Inn performance of The Comedy of Errors were written by Francis Bacon. The most that one can say is that Bacon played some role in the Inn's revelries over a period of many years. Documents show that he helped put on a dumb show there in 1588 and wrote speeches for an entertainment of unknown date (c. 1595). (Vide E. K. Chambers, The Elizabethan Stage, III:211-14 (1923)). How much else he did in that line is guesswork. Whatever it was, I fail to see how his step-relationship to Henry Neville makes it more plausible that Neville wrote The Comedy of Errors. Does Professor Rubinstein picture Bacon as the Gray's Inn gatekeeper, willing to admit only work written by his kindred? And what is the conclusion that we are encouraged to draw from "Errors is about separated sets of twins"? Is a half-uncle by marriage like a twin brother? Are we to suppose that the Antipholus twins are portraits of Neville and Bacon? (In his book, it appears, Professor Rubinstein sees Falstaff as Neville's self-depiction, an idea that certainly is, er, original.) We are veering toward the same lee shore of the intellect as the Oxenfordians who think that their auctorial candidate identified himself with Hamlet.
After all that, how does Professor Rubinstein respond to my central argument? By ignoring it. The reason for doubting that the Lord Chamberlain's Men performed at Court on December 28, 1594, isn't "because it is inconvenient to Stratfordian orthodoxy" but because the Revels accounts show two companies playing on the same day. Barring a unique double bill by the two leading London troupes, the date of one performance or the other must be wrong, and it takes no special pleading to assume that a clerk, making out the payment orders 2½ months after the fact, wrote "xxviii" where he meant "xxvii".
In his own field of expertise, Professor Rubinstein wouldn't tolerate the evasion of central issues, tendentious reading of authorities and odd divagations into hazy speculation that he adopts when discussing Shakespeare. His manner of argumentation is redolent of the classic crackpot, frequently encountered in anti-Stratfordian circles. It does nothing to dispel my expectations for his forthcoming volume.

Reasons for Land-based Closed-containment
Land-based closed-containment salmon aquaculture offers many benefits as opposed to the marine netpen operations. Among them:
Production of Atlantic salmon without the need for antibiotics or harsh, environmentally harmful chemicals to control disease and parasitesFaster growth of the product - typically six months ahead of netpen operationsNo feces contaminating sea floor or waters. Indeed, the land-based operations "harvest" the effluent chemicals, and they are a valuable byproductNo disease spread through miles of ocean from the concentrated populations of netpen operationsNo escapes that jeopardize wild Atlantic salmon conservation, and restoration efforts for endangered populationsGreater flexibility in location of growout facilities. With closed-containment recirculation units there is no need to be near a stream or river - much less the ocean.
The Atlantic Salmon Federation sees an exciting potential for allowing expansion of salmon aquaculture while reducing the devastating impact of the industry on wild Atlantic salmon. ASF is taking an active role in furthering the technology and sophistication of this industry. Here's how:Where we are now:
Product testing has shown the quality of salmon harvested is superbSeveral commercial ventures are beginning growout programsTechnology proven. Now mass production is needed to drive down costsHealth and environmental safeguards do work and are practicalEconomic profiles of commercial scale operations will soon be available via publcly supported projects such as that being built by the Namgis First Nation on Vancouver IslandExperiments already partly completed on most effective broodstock

Anatolia, being a centre of early civilisations and the crossroads of trade routes, has been displayed even in the earliest maps.
The 16th and 17th centuries, generally considered the "golden age" of Western map making, correspond to the height of Ottoman Empire. All the important map publishers of the time have included very decorative maps of Turkish Empire in their Atlases, often with cartouches depicting the cultural and territorial conflicts between Ottomans and their neighbouring European Nations.
The 18-19th century maps corresponding to the period of decline of the empire are also interesting, for they record the emergence of many new nation states.
As a collector of maps of Turkey, I thought it would be interesting to display some these examples all together.
I am by no means an expert in antique maps and I don't claim that the information here are accurate. I would welcome contributions to my site in the form comments, additional information or images of maps.
I tried to include links to other sites where there are detailed information on cartography, map makers and history of the region posted by experts.
The purpose of this site is to enable the interested collector to see the important maps available on the area for reference and also observe the changes in the political divisions of one of the most interesting and complex areas in the world.
I hope you will find the site interesting.

It was a drone, but that's not bad
A story in the April 29 edition of the Daily Facts reported that during the recent Run Through Redlands, witnesses "saw…a remote control helicopter, a small aircraft that held an even smaller video camera." These people "suspected…a drone flyover…" but were "assur[ed]…that there was no drone, nor spy plane, nor any other such security measure in place… "
Those assurances, if in fact given, made little sense.
By definition the helicopter was indeed a drone.
"An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle)
Thus, to be accurate the article (or anyone providing the aforesaid "assurances" would have clarified that, while the helicopter was indeed a drone, not all drones are deployed for surveillance or other nefarious purposes.
The article did make clear this drone's purpose: to get video footage of a wonderful Redlands community event for inclusion in a documentary being made for the 125th anniversary. What fun! Nice drone!

Happy New Year!
2018 is here! Are you ready for a healthy, powerful, and enlightening 2018? I know I am!
This year I want to re-focus on healthy eating. Last year with the move to the UK, and a new house, new job, new everything it was hard sometimes to keep on track with healthy choices. But this year I am back to it 100% (ask me again in June, and we will see, lol) You can find lots of ideas posted daily on my IG stories (@Onixjihane) and on my Healthy Eating for Kids and Families Facebook group and Pinterest board (will post links at the end)
Whether you and your family choose to eat a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or traditional diet is entirely up to you. YOU and only you know what is best for you, make sure to be informed, there are so many sources of info online where you can find more details on the benefits of each diet and decide if it is for you. However remember these are not fad diets, these are life-changing options to improve your overall health. That is why they have to be tailored to you and what works best for you.
My son and I tend more to the vegetarian side of things however we are not fully vegan. It's a process and more importantly, I want him to try everything and judge for himself what he wants and doesn't want to eat. It's his body after all.
Anyway, back in November, I was approached by a publishing company (St. Martin's Press) with these two wonderful cookbooks by Addie Gundry. The books feature a range of delicious yet easy meals for children and families. The books are beautiful, easy to follow, family-friendly and with lots and lots of ideas.
One book is all about cookies (My son LOVED IT) it allow us to bond over family cooking time while getting our hands covered in dough and our hair covered in flour (why does that happen when I cook with him?) Our favorite? "Tropical Paradise Cookies" with coconut and lime! simply delicious and it doesn't take long to cook ( 10 min prep time, plus 15min cook time) * I wish I had photos but I lost them when I reformated the camera!
The other book "103 Everyday Dinner Ideas" is a gem. I am a working single mum, so planning my dinner meals for the week is a must. One of our favorites was the "Grilled Romaine with Blue Cheese Dressing" yes! grilled lettuce! I did substitute the Blue Cheese with a milder cheese because my son doesn't like blue cheese and I have certain cheese allergies. Another winner? "Mushroom Stuffed Grilled Potatoes" feeling the veggie vibe here? lol The book is not a vegetarian book so you can find chicken, beef and turkey recipes in there too.
These books are the perfect addition to any recipe book library! You will find so many options to kickstart your healthy 2018 with delicious, easy foods for you and your family!

In hindsight, this really was folly! When I was pregnant with my 2nd boy, I made this stuffed chair (McCalls 9665) for my older one. Why would I make this? It only cost about $150!!!! I do love the fabric, it is gorgeous, and he loved it too!And here he is sitting in it, right in front of the TV...doesn't it say everything!
Here's my review for what it's worth!

You did a great job! I have this pattern, but never did get around to making it, and now my girls are too big...ReplyDelete
Hi, Stephanie,ReplyDelete
I just found this blog post by Googling "mccall's 9665" and love how your chair turned out! I'm making 3 of these for my niece and nephews, but I'm using polystyrene beads instead of stuffing. Did you end up using the velcro to hold the stuffed pieces together? I'm thinking about using big zippers to keep all of the inside pieces tight together so the kids don't fall back in these so easily.
Thanks for sharing your work! Looks great!

Nice win after Friday's no show. Even a PP goal. Looking forward to 2018.
Nice win after Friday's no show. Even a PP goal. Looking forward to 2018.
Former Yale players Marc Arcobello, Brian O'Neill and Broc Little have been selected for the 2018 U.S. Olympic Hockey team.
2013 National Champions
Contrats to the players. I can't wait to see them all again. If only the games were in a closer country I would be able to go. Alas. But I'm willing to wake up at all crazy hours.
Happy about the Saturday effort, but not so much about Friday. I was not able to go due to other obligations.
Still have to find ways to stay out of the box.
A very sad day in the Yale community. Carm Cozza, Yale's legendary football coach and an even greater man, passed away this morning at the age of 87. RIP, Carm
I met Carm Cozza back around '72 when my boy scout troup did rope guard duty at the Bowl. He took a lot of time that morning chatting with us and thanking us for volunteering our time that day (very cold and rainy as I recall). I remember being in awe of him as he was (to a 12 yr old kid) an imposing figure.

2013 East Regional Champions, Frozen Four
2014 East Regional
2015 West Regional
2016 ECAC Tournament Champions, East Regional Champions, Frozen Four
Tom Beckett, Yale Athletics Director
"Coach Carm Cozza was one of our nation's outstanding role models and leaders of young men. His legacy will have a lasting influence on the Yale Community and beyond."
Dr. Pat Ruwe '83, Yale Football Captain and President of Yale Football Association
"Today we Men of Yale Football, the Yale Football Family, Yale University, and America herself lost a piece of our foundation. For over 50 years, legendary coach Carm Cozza represented Yale Football and his Community with unmatched honor, dignity, and class. Ferociously competitive yet humble and unfailingly loyal, Coach was once called Yale's greatest teacher and was the ultimate role model to those young men fortunate enough to play for him."
"I was blessed to stay involved with Coach after my playing days as his team doctor, chauffeur, and friend, and I saw up close the real man, which is where his star shined even more brightly," said Ruwe. "There was no finer human being who ever walked the sidelines or wore the Yale Blue. We will miss you Coach. You were loved."
Tony Reno, Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Yale Football
"Words can't express how much Coach Cozza has influenced me as a Coach and a person since I met him. When I was fortunate enough to become the Head Coach of Yale Football, we became very close. He became the mentor that everyone would dream to have."
"It is my job to make sure everything we do with our players and Football family is right by the men who played football at Yale, but also right by Coach Cozza, who built the great family we have today. I look at every decision that way."
Jack Siedlecki, Former Yale Football Head Coach
"Following the death of his broadcast partner Dick Galiette, I invited Carm to ride up front in the team bus with me to away games. I will always cherish the memories of those conversations, many of which had nothing to do with football. He was all about family and football. Just a wonderful man."
Ron Vaccaro '04, Radio Voice of Yale Football
"Carm was the ultimate gentleman. I can't think of a more impactful leader. He was an excellent teacher because he never stopped being a student of life. He was curious, very well-read, and always came up with the perfect one-liner at just the right time. He leaves a shining example for all of us on how to live an inspired life in service to others."
Steve Conn, Yale Associate AD/Sports Publicity Director
"It is hard to imagine Yale Football without Carm, having spent the last 31 years talking with him about the program. His name was not only synonymous with the program, it was the name people around the area thought of as the ultimate sports leader. I recall a media guide bio page mistakenly entitled "Head Cozza, Carm Cozza." That could not have been more appropriate."
Remembering Carm and his family in prayers.
Avery nice tribute and moment of silence was held at the UMass-Yale hockey game tonight. Carm would have been proud of the resilience Yale showed coming back from a 1-2 deficit to win the game. Snively with two goals. KacZpersky in net again for his second straight win.
2013 National Champions
Biggest weekend of the season so far. Yale needs to somehow come away with 4 points this weekend. Wishful thinking, but they need to upset Cornell for obvious reasons.
Nice way to sneak out a tie on a Cornell team intent on steamrolling Yale out of the rink. The tying goal was as fluky as they come. Snivelys whiff/ pass faked out the entire building. Big teams cycling have always been Yales bugaboo. Cornell does that very well.
A tie is certainly better than a loss, but I think this is one that got away. A 2-0 lead with a minute left in the 2nd, then boom, 2 Cornell goals in a minute and a half of playing time. I know Cornell is very good, and I know Yale could have lost, but I was a bit disappointed.
Pretty good weekend. 3 out of 4 possible points this weekend and now 5-1-1 in the last 6 weeks. The Friday game next week against Union is on ESPN 3.

Kemp looks solid on D. Great ability to use his body and poke check. I don't think Sweezey had any penalties this weekend. Some nice play from the Smiths, too.
Cornell ran them around the rink but Yale was incredibly scrappy and fought the whole way. Cornell looks like a real contender. The tie was well earned... although but for a penalty shot off the pipe it could have been a win for Yale.

Oh, the Inhumanity
There has been a bit of a hubbub lately with the prospective raiding changes in Cataclysm
The first of the refinements being made is that we're combining all raid sizes and difficulties into a single lockout. Unlike today, 10- and 25-player modes of a single raid will share the same lockout. You can defeat each raid boss once per week per character. In other words, if you wanted to do both a 10- and 25-person raid in a single week, you'd need to do so on two different characters. Normal versus Heroic mode will be chosen on a per-boss basis in Cataclysm raids, the same way it works in Icecrown Citadel. Obviously the raid lockout change doesn't apply in pure Icecrown terms though, as this change goes hand-in-hand with a few other changes to raid progression in Cataclysm.
We're designing and balancing raids so that the difficulty between 10- and 25-player versions of each difficulty will be as close as possible to each other as we can achieve. That closeness in difficulty also means that we'll have bosses dropping the same items in 10- and 25-player raids of each difficulty. They'll have the same name and same stats; they are in fact the exact same items. Choosing Heroic mode will drop a scaled-up version of those items. Our hope is that players will be able to associate bosses with their loot tables and even associate specific artwork with specific item names to a far greater extent than today.
Dungeon Difficulty and Rewards
10- and 25-player (normal difficulty) — Very similar to one another in difficulty; drop the exact same items as each other.
10- and 25-player (Heroic difficulty) — Very similar to one another in difficulty; drop more powerful versions of the normal-difficulty items.
We of course recognize the logistical realities of organizing larger groups of people, so while the loot quality will not change, 25-player versions will drop a higher quantity of loot per player (items, but also badges, and even gold), making it a more efficient route if you're able to gather the people. The raid designers are designing encounters with these changes in mind, and the class designers are making class changes to help make 10-person groups easier to build. Running 25-player raids will be a bit more lucrative, as should be expected, but if for a week or two you need to do 10s because half the guild is away on vacation, you can do that and not suffer a dramatic loss to your ability to get the items you want.
We recognize that very long raids can be a barrier for some players, but we also want to provide enough encounters for the experience to feel epic. For the first few raid tiers, our plan is to provide multiple smaller raids. Instead of one raid with eleven bosses, you might have a five-boss raid as well as a six-boss raid. All of these bosses would drop the same item level gear, but the dungeons themselves being different environments will provide some variety in location and visual style, as well as separate raid lockouts. Think of how you could raid Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep separately, but you might still want to hit both every week.
We do like how gating bosses over time allows the community to focus on individual encounters instead of just racing to the end boss, so we're likely to keep that design moving forward. We don't plan to impose attempt limitations again though, except maybe in cases of rare optional bosses (like Algalon). Heroic mode may not be open from day one, but will become available after defeating normal mode perhaps as little as once or twice.
In terms of tuning, we want groups to be able to jump into the first raids pretty quickly, but we also don't want them to overshadow the Heroic 5-player dungeons and more powerful quest rewards. We'll be designing the first few raid zones assuming that players have accumulated some blue gear from dungeons, crafted equipment, or quest rewards. In general, we want you and your guild members to participate in and enjoy the level up experience.
We design our raids to be accessible to a broad spectrum of players, so we want groups to be able to make the decision about whether to attempt the normal or Heroic versions of raids pretty quickly. The goal with all of these changes is to make it as much of a choice or effect of circumstance whether you raid as a group of 10 or as a group of 25 as possible. Whether you're a big guild or a small guild the choice won't be dependent on what items drop, but instead on what you enjoy the most.
We realize that with any changes to progression pathways there are going to be questions. We're eagerly awaiting any that we may have left unanswered. To the comments!
I have read multiple blog posts from people saying the changes are great because.
– 10 mans are viable once again
– Just because you are in a bigger raid doesn't mean you should get better gear.
– To be the best you had to do 25s and now you don't.
I want to address the last point. We have 10 man raiders who are happy because they can now be "the best" without doing 25 mans and 25 man raiders arguing that it ruins the motivation to do 25. I would have to agree with the 25 man raiders here. It is easier to get 10 great players together to go right into HM than it is to get 25 for that. Also it will be easier to gear those 10 players no matter what is said. Also at what point does this stop? Let's say I am a serious 5 man raider and feel offended that 5 man groups are left out. Will blizzard next make heroic drops on par with 10 man raiding drops? If that does ever happen in the future I don't want to hear any complaining from 10 man raiders who applauded this change. No matter what expansion you are in there is some content that will be over geared. It's a fact of life. No reason to get mad because some people are doing 25 man HM and getting better gear then you. With these new changes you won't have the same chance to gear up.
Also, what will happen to the crafted gear? There is some epic crafted gear that is at 25 man level. Will those now be at 10 man level and will be cheap enough for everyone to buy because they can be replaced so easy? Will there even need to be a LFR tool because PUGs will be non-existent? How easy/hard will these raids actually be?
My idea to help raiding in Cataclysm instead of this is to have an achievement for beating a boss on 10 man in only 10 man or less gear. Then have the last instance boss drop top 25 tier items. This will help 10 man strict get high gear to feel better and will not lessen being in a 25 man raid.

My darling daughter got me hooked on 2048:
2048 (video game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2048 logo
|Gabriele Cirulli
|Web-based, mobile
|Release date(s)
|March 9, 2014[1]
2048 is a single-player puzzle game created in March 2014 by 19-year-old Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli, in which the objective is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them and create a tile with the number 2048. It can be regarded as a type of sliding block puzzle, and is very similar to the Threes! app released a month earlier Cirulli created the game in a single weekend as a test to see if he could program a game from scratch, describing it as a clone of Veewo Studios' app 1024 and getting the idea from Sami "Saming" Romdhana's clone 2048, and was surprised when his game received over 4 million visitors in less than a week, especially since it was just a weekend project."It was a way to pass the time", he said. The game is free to play, Cirulli having said that he was unwilling to make money from "something that [he] didn't invent" . He released a free app version of the game for iOS and Android in May 2014 .
The game has been described by the Wall Street Journal as "almost like Candy Crush for math geeks", and Business Insider called it "Threes on steroids". Due to the massive popularity of 2048, many people now mistakenly believe Threes! to be a clone of it, rather than the other way around.
I adore math and logic puzzles. But I actually broke down today and looked up some of the tips and strategies on-line to win this thing. Haven't tried them yet, and most of them I have picked up intuitively by just playing.
Fot having just been created in March 2014, it is a testament to this new age of communication that so many of us, worldwide, are playing it. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one finding it deceptively difficult to win!
If you like math, numbers, logic and games....and value your sanity....consider yourself warned!

Since news about the struggles facing the Lower 9th Ward Village community center became public last month with news that Lil Wayne's high-profile skatepark had never gotten off the ground and finances had cratered, founder Mack "Ward" McClendon, says he has received an outpouring of support from potential donors, church groups, university students and news organizations.
Al Jazeera and Sports Illustrated have plans to publish articles on the Village in the coming weeks, McClendon said. Dozens of local musicians, including the Treme Brass Band and Guitar Lightnin' Lee, have joined the lineup for a benefit concert at Howlin' Wolf on May 23. Kickstarter chose the Village's crowd-funding campaign as its "Project of the Day" on Friday (May 16).
But the campaign has just 10 days to meet its ambitious $75,000 fundraising goal. At noon Friday, donors had pledged just over $15,500. If the goal is not met, it is unlikely that McClendon will be able to prevent foreclosure on the colorful Charbonnet Street warehouse where the Village has operated since 2007.
The space over the years has hosted community meetings, job training workshops, youth programs and teams of volunteers in town to help with the rebuilding effort after Hurricane Katrina. But after plans for a skatepark sponsored by Lil Wayne, Mountain Dew and a brand strategy group called the Glu Agency fell through in 2012, McClendon found himself unable to afford the mortgage payments. The building's co-executor has threatened to foreclose on the space this month.
But as Village volunteer Chika Kondo said by phone on Friday, the mission of the community center will continue even if McClendon loses ownership of the building. "Obviously it would be ideal if we could continue working out of the space on Charbonnet Street," she said. "But if we lose the building, we'll continue the work the Village does to help to bring the Lower 9th Ward community back. Mack is not giving up."
The Save the Village Benefit Concert will take place at Howlin' Wolf on Friday (May 23) from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. The event will feature a dinner followed by music, comedy, spoken word and performances by various local artists. Tickets can be purchased at the door or on event brite.

We all like the idea that mobile phones are beginning to develop greater capabilities. This is being seen dramatically in the use of apps and the availability of information at our fingertips, wherever we are.
A dramatic development being witnessed in the US is how smartphones are now becoming a shopping companion – both to make actual purchases and also to help us research product information, locate stores and do comparison shopping.
A report released earlier this month by Foresee Results highlights new research which shows consumers are using their mobile phones more than ever for retail purposes. The study of nearly 10,000 visitors to the biggest e-tail sites in the US (as determined by revenue) showed that:
- 33% of respondents have used their phone to access a retailer website and an additional 26% indicated they plan to access retailer websites or mobile apps by phone in the future.
- 11% of shoppers reported having made a purchase from their phone – compared with only 2% at the same time the previous year.
- 56% of shoppers used their phone to compare price information, 46% to compare different products, 35% to look at product specifications and 27% to view product reviews.
- While in a physical store, more than two-thirds (69%) of mobile shoppers used their phones to visit the store's own website, while nearly half (46%) also used their phones to access a competitor's website.
One final statistic worth noting was that "shoppers who are highly satisfied with a mobile experience say they are 30% more likely to buy from that retailer online and 30% more likely to buy offline, as well as being far more likely to return to the main website, recommend it, and be loyal to the brand."
For more detail on the report, visit Foresee Results.
