G'day guys,
Today is Australia Day, and what a great day to finish a wonderful blog tour – the day our forebears decided to camp on this extraordinary continent. How fitting, that this blog tour has related to a book about our pioneers; people like Smokey 'Gun' Danson. Life has changed dramatically since the 26th of January 1788. Happy Australia Day!
Wow, what a blog tour - what a journey. I'd like to thank the participants in the tour who have so freely given of their time. We have been in some great company. At all times I have been frank in my response to questions. That's me. What you see is what you get - a passionate writer.
Check this list of wonderful hosts and interviewers: Tanya McCartney, Jill Smith, Vicki Stanton, Anastasia Gonis (the ultimate questioner!), Carol Warner, Sheryl Gwyther, Kelly McLean, Deb Cullen, Helen Ross and Dee White. A special thanks to Lou Morris and Elaine Ouston of Morris Publishing Australia - www.morrispublishingaustralia.com who organised the blog tour. They are exceptional publishers who work hard for their writers.
What's next for me?
Rather than be stereotyped as a historical fiction writer, I plan to publish a very different book in March / April. It's called 'Pa Joe's Place' and is based on a true story of a beautiful seven-year-old Thai girl named Boo. I met her many years ago in Thailand - where the story is set. It's probably the most powerful manuscript I've written so far, and I am currently organising to have the book translated into Thai so it will also be available to Thai readers. Why Thailand? Simple: I've lived and worked in South East Asia and I speak Thai. Wait till you see the cover of the book. It is eye-catching, and the photograph is very relevant to the story. I took the photograph some years back, the morning after a famous festival in Thailand - Loy Krathong.
Several Thai people have read the story already. A well-educated and articulate seventeen-year-old Thai student made these comments when he'd finished. His mother, a former senior diplomat with Thai Foreign Affairs, will most probably translate the story into the Thai language:
"I would like to call your story a masterpiece, because it has inspired me very much."
"In conclusion, I am glad that I have read a wonderful story that deeply touched me"
"Yes, I liked the plot very much because it was quite adventurous and full of surprises."
"I would give the story a 9.5/10 because rarely has any stories touched me this much, and rarely has any story made me want to keep reading on and on."
"I would love to read other stories like this one because the message is very powerful and influential."
"I do not have any dislikes in the story because the story is too inspiring for me to dislike it!"
"This is the first time I've read a story which deeply touched me."

23rd January 2012.
After 'Pa Joe's Place' hits the streets, I will publish the sequel to 'Gunnedah Hero' which I finished three years ago - 'A Drover's Blanket'. I am now working on book three of the 'Gunnedah Hero' series, called 'Magic Billie' - story about Smokey 'Gun' Danson's best mate, an Aboriginal drover with a wicked sense of humour and a bucket of integrity. This story will be a powerful tale of life as an Aboriginal in the early 1900's.
Then, hopefully, I will publish one of my favourite manuscripts - 'Ky' – story of a young Muslim refugee who is bullied by two Aussie girls because she wears glasses, a hijab, and loves to read. Like 'Gunnedah Hero', this story won an award in the National Literary Awards in 2006. I did heaps of research on bullying for this story. Here is an interesting tale in that regard.
Whilst visiting our mobile library, I spotted a teen magazine that featured bullying and took it home. I hopped onto a website set up by the magazine and was gob smacked by what I read - heart-wrenching stories written by Aussie kids who were being bullied. I cut and pasted about 30 pages of the comments and placed them in two categories: what happened, and what the bullied kids did about it. It was very moving research. Trust me. I have no doubt it was the first time many of the kids had told anyone about their personal grief. So, stay tuned and read 'Ky' when it is published. It has a great finish and the story line is very different to any other you've read. This is a great story for kids who are bullied.
Not only but also ...
Gunnedah Hero has been entered in eight major book awards, including the Miles Franklin, Commonwealth Book Prize and Children's Book Council of Australia Awards. It will also be entered in another six prizes in the weeks ahead. Fingers crossed, eh? Other than writing, I am involved in social justice issues, here and overseas - always have been. One of my current projects, other than human rights issues, is to try to change the Prime Minister's Literary Awards categories so that self-published authors can enter. Previously, the award did not have a poetry category but we got that one up. Hooray for all you poets. Seemed odd to me, and disturbing, that a prestigious award like the PM's, did not include a poetry category when one of our most celebrated poets, Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson, is depicted on our ten-dollar note and is the author of Waltzing Matilda.
Finally ... henceforth, hitherto and therefore thereafter ...
If you missed the blog tour, go back and check it out. Here is the schedule. Some of my answers might make you chuckle or, if you're a writer, make you grin. Don't forget our special offer and contest. Three blog readers will win a free eBook copy of 'Gunnedah Hero'.

Denial of Service: MacFilos in the wars
∞ Permalink
Sorry to say MacFilos, in sympathy with Wordpress, is suffering a Distributed Denial of Service attack in the form of a large and very intimidating nurse. Recovering in hospital from a full anaesthetic and flat on my back, I was early on thwarted in using the MacBook Air I'd smuggled in. The iPhone isn't much better, especially with two jumbo sensor clips on my digits. So this post comes to you through a miasma of great sacrifice and logistical difficulties. Nurse has told me to stop and rest. How inconsiderate can this be on the day after Sir Steve gave us iPad2 and the blogosphere is alive with music (at least to my ears)?

PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) – After struggling to regulate stripper bars, a small town along the Columbia River in eastern Oregon is ready to adopt rules to prohibit new ones in its downtown district.
The East Oregonian newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/1zgNIIe ) that Umatilla's planning commission voted Tuesday to turn a rewritten 90-page commercial zoning rulebook over to the city council for final adoption. The vote finishes a battle that started in July 2014 after residents opposed a third strip club in the town.
The rules restrict adult entertainment businesses and marijuana dispensaries away from downtown. Current strip clubs would be grandfathered as long as they do not change ownership.
Moratoriums on adult businesses and marijuana dispensaries have been in place while the city crafts new rules.
Digital Access for only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
The city council will discuss the new rules May 5.

Thursday April 29, 2010
EastEnders actress Lacey Turner is stepping down from her role as troubled Stacey Slater.
The pretty brunette, who won dozens of awards for the role, has played the fiery character for five years.
The 22-year-old now hopes to land a role in a big screen costume drama, before moving onto other films.
"I've had the most fantastic time at EastEnders," said Lacey, who has played the role since she was 17.
"Stacey has been such a brilliant role for me to play as has being part of the feisty Slater family.
"I'm so lucky to have had such challenging storylines, from the affair with Max and being diagnosed with bipolar to the complete shock of being revealed as Archie's killer during the live 25th Anniversary episode.
"I'll miss Stacey and everyone in Albert Square very much but the time has come to try something different."

High School assistance program started in the year 2007 to help the poor from the rural areas. The pilot project operated in Oslob, Cebu with more than 200 high school students since year 2007 up to the present. This year, 2011, the sisters are extending the high school assistance program to the towns of Boljoon, Santander and Tuburan with 50 students from each town. In this way, the children are being protected from human traffickers.
They are provided with school supplies, transportation allowance, uniforms, shoes and bags. Spiritual formation is also being provided . Yearly retreats , leadership training and team building to help them develop their personality and moral values. The sisters together with the lay volunteers and tertiary members or we call them "Mission Partners" monitor the grades of the students.
To support this program, the sisters are sharing this opportunity to all generous and kind-hearted people they met.

The Hows and Whys of Server Virtualization
Each year brings a fresh whirl of tech buzzwords. Terms like "proactive," "360-degree view" and "information life cycle management" have all been in vogue in recent history. This year, the technology de jour is "virtualization," a topic that has more than just hype behind it and has broken through into the mainstream.How does virtualization work, and why is now a good time to check it out?
The concept behind server virtualization is not new, however. IBM has been creating virtual machines on its mainframes since the 1960s.
So what is it? Virtualization breaks the link between the hardware and the applications that run on it. This includes virtual storage, virtual networking, application virtualization and, the focus of this tutorial, server virtualization. It requires the installation of a software layer that allows more than one server to operate on the same piece of hardware. There are two basic approaches to this:
1. The one popularized by VMware (now part of EMC Hopkinton, Mass.) runs a virtualization layer (called a hypervisor) between the hardware and the operating system. With this method, several operating systems can run on the same set of hardware. The drawback is that each virtual server requires its own operating system, which adds to licensing costs and system overhead.
2. Sun Microsystems, of Santa Clara, Calif., takes the opposite approach. It installs its Solaris operating system directly on the hardware. Different applications run in isolated areas called "containers," but they all share the same operating system instance. Shares of the physical server resources are then assigned to each of the containers on a permanent or dynamic basis.
Why Virtualize?
There are many reasons for adopting server virtualization. A popular one is better resource utilization. It is not uncommon to see servers running at 10 percent or less of their capacity, at different points in the day. By letting several virtual servers share a single set of hardware, a much higher average utilization rate is achieved, and hardware and support costs are lowered.
Virtualization also makes it easier to provision and reallocate servers. Instead of having to manually set up a server, the virtualization software can set up a server using a pre-existing template and shift server images from one physical server to another to balance workloads or improve efficiency. It can also automatically set up a new virtual server on a different machine when there is a hardware malfunction. Each application is isolated from the others, which provides greater security.
Why Now?
In practice, virtualization requires much more than just a simple hypervisor layer. In fact, virtualization has broken through as a technology largely because all the necessary components (i.e., processors, utilities and management tools) for a completely virtual ecosystem are now in place.
AMD and Intel have both included virtualization support in their chips. In AMD's case, this involves taking some of the commands that normally would be handled by the Virtual Machine Manager and including them in the chips' instruction sets. Similarly, Intel has released its Intel Virtualization Technology (IVT) for desktops, Xeon server and Itanium server CPUs.
Utilities, too, are starting to support virtual servers. Backing up virtual servers, for example, poses a series of unique challenges. One of the biggest challenges involves server consolidation. The advantage of server consolidation is that all the virtual servers share the same set of hardware, which works out great when all servers are running at low levels. But backup is a resource intensive activity in terms of disk I/Os, processor utilization and traffic through the network interface card. Backup vendors, therefore, have developed a number of techniques for backing up virtual servers. CommVault Systems offers customers the option of backing up the entire virtual server into a single large file, and Syncsort's Backup Express can either backup each virtual server individually or backup the entire physical server.
In addition, management tool vendors are including virtual server support in their products. TeamQuest Corporation of Clear Lake, Iowa, for example, supports virtualization throughout its product line. It has a set of five collection agents for VMware ESX Server 2.0, which gather information both on the performance of the virtual machines (e.g., CPU, disk, memory and NIC) and on the ESX service console (e.g., disk space, process-workload and system log messages). Reports and alarms can be set up on each of the individual virtual servers or on the physical server. TeamQuest's capacity planning software can model each virtual machine as an individual workload as well as determine the impact of running several virtual machines on a physical server.
How to Virtualize
The primary action in setting up a virtual server is selecting and installing the virtualization layer. Here are some of the more popular options.
- Xen 3.0: Xen is a lightweight open source hypervisor (less than 50,000 lines of code) which runs on Intel or AMD x86 and 64-bit processors, with or without virtualization technologies. It supports up to 32-way SMP (Simultaneous Multi Processing) and requires a modification of the client operating system, which means it will run Linux but not Windows clients. Although the original Xen hypervisor works only with Linux clients, XenSource, the company behind the Xen project, released XenEnterprise, a version that supports Windows Server and Solaris guests as well.
- Windows Virtual Server 2005 R2: Microsoft initially charged for its virtualization technology, and it was limited to Windows servers. With Windows Server 2003R2, customers can run up to four operating systems on a physical server. On April 3, Microsoft announced it was making Virtual Server a free download, and it extended support to clients running nine versions of Red Hat and SUSE Linux.
- VMware Server: VMware (EMC) is by far the largest vendor of virtualization technology for x86 platforms. In early 2006, the company released VMware Server, a replacement for GSX Server, which is a single server virtualization platform for Linux and Windows. More than 100,000 downloads of this free product were made in the first week alone. VMware Server has all the features of the GSX Server, and adds support for virtual SMP, Intel Virtualization Technology and 64-bit guest operating systems.
- VMware ESX Server: Although its entry-level product is now free, VMware still charges for its enterprise-class ESX Server. ESX server runs on x86-based servers and supports Linux (Red Hat and SUSE), Windows (Server and XP), Novell NetWare and FreeBSD 4.9 clients.
- Virtual Iron: Virtual Iron is another company offering Xen-based products. It has four products: two free single server versions, an enterprise version and one for clusters. In addition to the Xen hypervisor, Virtual Iron also includes management tools and an administrative interface.
- IBM Virtualization Engine Platform: This platform encompasses the entire line of IBM servers. As well as the usual hypervisor for server partitioning, it includes virtual I/O and virtual Ethernet, a workload manager and management console.
- SWSoft Virtuozzo: Virtuozzo takes an approach similar to that of Solaris. It runs above, rather than below, the operating systems. It has two versions one for Windows and another for Linux and customers can create virtual servers on top of these. One particular application is for running "Virtual Private Servers (VPS)" or a hosting facility. With Virtuozzo, a single physical server can run up to 5,000 VPSes.
By and large, these ISVs make it easy to dabble in virtualization. To get your feet wet, simply download a free version of the software from the above vendors to gain familiarity and see how it works in your environment.
Although the basic concept of virtualization is likely to be around for quite a while, it is not clear whether virtualization software will always be a separate product. IBM, EMC, Microsoft, AMD, Intel and others are incorporating greater features into their product line, and this trend will continue. Overall, though, virtualization appears to be moving toward being the default method of server operation, rather than being just for a specific niche. Eventually, this may make discrete hypervisors a thing of the past.

text: Paternity Leave Changes 'A Landmark' Maternity and Paternity Rights 15.09.2009 Changes to maternity and paternity leave announced by the Government today represent a "landmark" for equal rights at work, a leading employment lawyer has said. New mothers who return to work will have the right to transfer any unused entitlement to maternity leave and statutory maternity pay to their partner up to a maximum of six months. The Government did not however extend statutory maternity pay from 39 to 52 weeks. It means that on top of two weeks' paid paternity leave fathers could claim the right to six months off work before their child's first birthday. The rules could be in place as soon as late next year and will apply to adoptions as well as same sex relationships. Simon Coates, a Partner and head of Employment at law firm Irwin Mitchell, said: "This is a significant change in the rules governing maternity and paternity leave and should be seen as a landmark by those who have campaigned for equal rights among workers. "At present fathers can only receive two weeks' paid leave so moving to up to six months is a major shift. "Together with the implementation of the right to make a flexible working request earlier this year, this proposal aims to make the stereotype of fathers working 9-5 while mothers act as housewives out-dated. "It should particularly help families where the mother is the major breadwinner and is keen to return to work or families who need more flexibility. "Of course giving couples greater scope to share work and family responsibilities could have an impact on businesses. "This will increase the red-tape businesses have to cope with and make even more demands on managers, but the Government has stopped short of extending statutory maternity pay from 39 to 52 weeks. "The true level of take up is difficult to predict given that not every father takes up the two weeks statutory paternity leave available at present. Nonetheless, businesses should start working now to ensure their administrative systems are able to cope with the planned changes and that their employment policies are up to date once the law changes."

Roland Topor (1938-1997) was a French illustrator, painter, writer and filmmaker. In 1962 he created the Panic Movement (mouvement panique), together with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Fernando Arrabal. Topor wrote the novel "The Tenant" (1964), which was filmed by Roman Polanski as The Tenant (1976) (a remake of the film, Le nouveau locataire (2013), was released in 2013). The book was re-issued with a new introduction by Thomas Ligotti, a selection of short stories by Topor, a representation of Topor's artwork and an essay on the Polanski film version. Topor published several books of drawings, including "Dessins panique" (1965), "Quatre roses pour Lucienne" (1967) and "Toporland" (1975). With filmmaker René Laloux, Topor made "The Dead Times" (1964),The Snails (1966) and their most famous work, the feature Fantastic Planet (1973).
In 1982 he creates with Henri Xhonneux the popular French TV series Téléchat (1982), a parody of news broadcasts featuring puppets of a cat and an ostrich. Topor also worked as an actor, his most famous part being Renfield in Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). is a 1989 French-language film, produced in Belgium and France, based on the life and writings of the Marquis de Sade. All the actors wear animal masks, and their voices are dubbed. There are a few scenes involving clay animation. The film was a project by French cartoonist Roland Topor.
The tagline used in the US release was, "A bizarre tale of sex, lust, and the French Revolution." "

Radionuclide-based imaging is an alternative to evaluate ventricular function and synchrony and may be used as a tool for the identification of patients that could benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In a previous work, we used Factor Analysis of Dynamic Structures (FADS) to analyze the contribution and spatial distribution of the 3 most significant factors (3-MSF) present in a dynamic series of equilibrium radionuclide angiography images. In this work, a probability density function model of the 3-MSF extracted from FADS for a control group is presented; also an index, based on the likelihood between the control group's contraction model and a sample of normal subjects is proposed. This normality index was compared with those computed for two cardiopathic populations, satisfying the clinical criteria to be considered as candidates for a CRT. The proposed normality index provides a measure, consistent with the phase analysis currently used in clinical environment, sensitive enough to show contraction differences between normal and abnormal groups, which suggests that it can be related to the degree of severity in the ventricular contraction dyssynchrony, and therefore shows promise as a follow-up procedure for patients under CRT.

text: Just getting their seasons started seems to be the toughest challenge many Tribune-area track teams are facing this spring. While a few schools managed to run a meet or two during the warm-weather stretch at the end of March, many others saw their openers scrubbed by the wet, frigid conditions that blanketed northern Indiana over the past couple weeks. That, or the teams went ahead and competed in an awful environment for track. Last weekend's slate of invitational meets was wiped out by the snow and cold. This Saturday, teams will try again at several big meets around the area. The annual Northridge Relays brings a number of Northern Lakes Conference girls teams to a highly-competitive meet starting at 9:15 a.m. Adams and Marian, among others, will head south to Marion, Ind. on Saturday for a large invitational meet. Meanwhile, Elkhart Memorial is one of the regulars headed to Fort Wayne's huge North Side Relays. Penn and Clay are some of the teams entered at the Portage Invitational. Status uncertain Elkhart Memorial senior Jaurice Dye figured to finish his high school career by making a run for the state championship in either the 1600 or 3200 this spring. The senior distance ace has been hobbled by a severe back injury that cropped up during cross country season, however. And at the moment, Charger boys coach Adam Homo really doesn't know when, or if, Dye will be back to full strength. "He basically stopped running for three months," says Homo. "The doctor cleared him to ease back into things, but it's day-to-day right now." Dye made it through an 800-meter run during a dual meet Tuesday against Concord, winning comfortably in 2:05.17. But that's as far as he's going right now, the coach noted. "Jaurice says he felt pretty good, but we're not going to push it," explained Homo. "He's running three days a week in practice. The other days, he's on a bike. We may use him on a leg of the 3200-meter relay Saturday at Fort Wayne North Side. Other than that, I don't think you'll see much of him." Dye has already signed a track scholarship with Mississippi State University. "We're just a stepping stone for him," said Homo. "I'd like to see him get back to the state meet, if he can, but we don't want to do anything that will mess him up for college." Notable nuggets Wawasee edged Plymouth, 70-62, and Warsaw, 76-56, in a battle of Northern Lakes Conference boys track powers Tuesday. Similarly, St. Joseph's thumped Penn and Adams, 85-52-30, in a Northern Indiana Conference boys showdown. LaPorte's Kim Lienhoop ignored Tuesday's frigid weather long enough to long jump 17-6 1/4 at Portage. Elkhart Central's Tiffany Aikin went 17-2 the same day. Mishawaka's Craig Padgett recorded a fine 1600/3200 double Tuesday against Elkhart Central, clocking 4:27.7 and 9:46.0, respectively. A week earlier, he ran the 3200 in 9:40.1 against Plymouth.

McGuire impacted coaching, scouting community
Scouting can break your heart.
Projecting what 17-year-olds will do in life -- never mind on a hockey rink -- in just a few short years is an inexact science at its best and a near impossibility at its worst.
But the long odds and the hardships never deterred EJ McGuire from looking for the next find of the decade.
Scouting never broke McGuire. Instead, it defined his greatness.
For him, the bad coffee, the hard seat in the corner of the next municipal arena, the six-hour car trip, the inclement weather, the bad hotel or any of the other countless mishaps that befall those that chose the scouting fraternity could not put a damper on the thrill of possibly seeing -- and correctly identifying -- the potential for hockey stardom playing out before his eyes.
It was this passion that delivered McGuire to the pinnacle of his profession before cancer claimed him Thursday.
In the end, it was an unbeatable -- and extremely rare -- form of cancer that proved to be the only thing capable of extinguishing McGuire's burning passion for the game of hockey.
McGuire, 58, was the vice president of NHL Central Scouting, a 29-member collection of scouts entrusted to rank the top NHL Entry Draft-eligible prospects each season to help the League's member clubs in the draft selection process.
He was responsible for coordinating a staff that witnessed close to 3,000 games a season and expertly shepherding a disparate and strong-willed collection of scouts through the parochial squabbles that are as much a part of scouting as statistics.
And he did his job with a grace and a professionalism that endeared him to everyone that crossed his path.
"Without any question, his passion and leadership and ability taught me so much," Central Scouting's Jack Barzee told NHL.com. "When he made a point, he did it with such tact and professionalism. You could feel the passion in his voice every time he spoke and you just wanted to make sure you never disappointed him."
There likely isn't a rink in North America where the legacy of EJ McGuire hasn't been felt during four decades in the game as a coach and a scout.
As many have said since his passing, everything good about hockey could be found in McGuire.
He was as tough as nails, he was as loyal as they come and he was a team player who used his unique skill set for the betterment of whatever organization he called home at the time. And, like the best in the game, he exhibited a humbleness that belied the contributions he made to his profession.
At one time, McGuire was considered an up-and-coming coach.
Good enough, in fact, to catch the eye of Mike Keenan -- a legend in the making in the late-80s -- and to pioneer several advances in the way coaches look at the game today. In fact, while with Philadelphia, he pioneered the study of real-time stats; a facet of the game that was unheard of before McGuire's inquisitive mind realized it could help make his team better.
But McGuire didn't just employ technological advancements to help his teams win, he also had the elusive "hockey sense" that often differentiate the good from the great at the highest levels of the sport.
"He appeared when you needed him," said Dave Poulin, who was the captain during McGuire's first tenure with the Flyers. "He had a sense … he provided something very important for Mike and that was the pulse of the locker room and that's really critical in the game. It's important that the coaches have a sense of what's going on in the room. EJ could just appear, like a shadow. When something was going on he could appear just when he was needed. It was a pretty unique ability."
But for all his coaching genius, McGuire was a better scout. In the final analysis, it seems EJ was born to scout.
Anybody that has ever seen McGuire at a rink or holding court at an Entry Draft knows he was uniquely wired to navigate the numerous pratfalls that trip up so many of his peers in a profession that is filled with its unfair share of misses and disappointments.
Most importantly, McGuire had a boundless energy for the game -- and for life itself.
"EJ had two loves in life: His love of family and his passion for hockey," NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell said.
His appetite for the game is the stuff of legends.
It was not unusual for him to take in a pair of OHL games on a Sunday and then trek back to the League's Toronto offices to catch one of the late games in the War Room, enjoying the camaraderie of the hockey lifers around him.
His prodigious memory was a gift not only to him, but to the hockey world.
McGuire was asked to speak about prospects on an almost non-stop basis from November until June. He talked to print reporters, gave interviews on the radio and television and spoke at press conferences -- never saying no to any request for his time and expertise.
Yet, he never consulted a note. He could talk about the can't-miss prospect as easily as he could about a fifth-round tweener. All the prospects were special to him and, as a result, he made those prospects special to others.
McGuire's smile was priceless. In fact, it may have been the best tool in his arsenal.
He could disarm any situation, bridge any argument and break the deepest of ice with a quick up turn of the lips -- a genuine smile, one that traveled all the way up to his eyes.
McGuire used that smile to make people feel welcome in his world, never letting on that he had forgotten more hockey history and more players than you would ever know. For him, a love of hockey was the only key necessary open the door to his vast hockey knowledge.
It was the genuine, unfettered, unapologetic love of the game and the people that make it so special that defined McGuire and made him an inspiration to those that knew him best.
He will be missed, but never forgotten.

7: We are surrounded by our own past in architectural form, and all architecture, no matter how 'modern' and how seemingly maintenance free, requires both use and care to survive." Richard R. Brettell Historic Denver | Please join me on a virtual tour of Downtown Denver circa 1908.
8: The Brown Palace 17th Street and Broadway The Brown Palace Hotel is one of the finest examples of nineteenth-century commercial architecture in America. In 1890, Henry C. Brown commissioned one of Denver's leading architects, Frank Edbrooke, to design this $2 million hotel that was to be as luxurious as a palace. To fit the triangular-shaped building site, Edbrooke designed a building with three sides that are joined by gracefully rounded corners. The exterior, which is made of Arizona sandstone, was once decorated with numerous stone creatures; however, most of them have been removed because the fragile sandstone began to deteriorate and fall to the sidewalk. Today, only twenty-six carved stone medallions of native Colorado animals remain. The hotel's steel-and-iron frame made it possible to create an enormous nine-story atrium with a stained-glass roof, which accentuates the grandeur of the interior. Due to preservation and restoration efforts, the Brown Palace provides an outstanding example of Denver's opulent past.
9: Brown Palace Hotel
10: Trintiy Church
11: Trinity United Methodist Church 18th Street and Broadway The Trinity Methodist-Episcopal Church (the word Episcopal was carved into the original church sign but has since been filled in) was designed by one of Denver's premier architects, Robert R. Roeschlaub. This picturesque church with its dramatic stone spire and Gothic-style windows, doors, and rose windows, was constructed of rhyolite, a light-colored volcanic granite that was quarried in Castle Rock. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the building is historically significant because it was one of the first stone structures built in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style in Denver. In fact, it is quite similar to Trinity Church in Boston which was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson a decade earlier. Roeschlaub was an exceptional draftsman who focused on every detail of the church's design. His drawings, done in pen and ink and filled in with watercolor, describe every intricate detail of the building. Some of the original drawings survived and are available in digital format through the American Memory Web site.
12: Civic Center Park
13: Civic Center Historic District Grant Street west to Delaware Street and Colfax Avenue south to 13th Avenue Denver mayor Robert W. Speer began planning the development of the Civic Center around 1904, as part of his City Beautiful campaign. The Civic Center is a large public park surrounded by the main administrative and cultural buildings of the city, state, and federal government. The east-west axis of the Civic Center is anchored on the east by the State Capitol (1886-1908) and on the west by the City and County Building (1932). Two classical structures complete the north-south axis. The Voorhies Memorial (1920) on the north side, which was funded by banker and mining entrepreneur John H.P. Voorhies, is balanced on the south side by the Greek Theater and Colonnade of Civic Benefactors (1919). The Greek Theater's arc and the curving wings of the Voorhies Memorial reflect the symmetrical shape envisioned by the designers.
14: Larimer Square Historic District Larimer Street between 14th and 15th Streets In the summer of 1858, a small group of prospectors, led by a Georgian named William Greeneberry Russell, discovered gold at the base of the Rocky Mountains. This discovery prompted the Pikes Peak gold rush which brought many more fortune seekers to the area, including General William H. Larimer, Jr. On November 16, 1858, Larimer arrived in Auraria, the town that had been established by the Russell party on the southwest bank of Cherry Creek where it joins the Platte River. He promptly jumped an existing claim on the southeast side of the creek and staked out a town site that he named Denver City for Kansas Territory Governor James W. Denver. Larimer and other members of his newly formed Denver City Town Company staked out a square mile grid for their new town. Larimer named the street that he predicted would become the main street after himself. He and three other members of the town company built cabins on the four corners at 15th and Larimer Streets, which soon became the heart of the baby town. | As predicted, Larimer Street flourished. In the 1860s, it was lined by one and two-story buildings that housed a post office, an arsenal, a library, and numerous businesses.
15: These original buildings were replaced by larger, more permanent structures between 1870 and 1890, when rich silver discoveries in the mountains and the arrival of the railroad prompted a population explosion in Denver. The Larimer Square Historic District is comprised of the seventeen commercial structures that were erected during this time. One of these structures, the Clayton Building, which was built in 1882, stands on the ground where William Larimer's log cabin once stood.
16: Union Station 17th Street and Wynkoop The first railroads arrived in Denver in the summer of 1870. The South Platte River Valley soon had numerous rail lines and depots. In fact, during the 1870's, Denver had eight different train depots, making it difficult to transfer passengers and freight from one station to another. To alleviate the confusion, Denver Union Depot was built in 1881. The original Italianate-style building was constructed of grayish-pink volcanic granite (rhyolite) from Castle Rock and trimmed with smooth sandstone from Manitou Springs. After the center section of the station was destroyed by a fire in 1894, it was rebuilt in a similar Romanesque Revival style. However, the remodeled depot was not large enough to keep up with Denver's growth, so it was demolished in 1914 and a larger, more modern center section was built. The new center section, with its stunning 64-foot-high main waiting room and two-story-high Romanesque windows, was constructed of smooth granite and terra cotta and designed in the Renaissance Revival style. This structure, as well as the two Italianate-style wings retained from the original 1881 construction, remain standing today. However, the 65-foot-high, 85-foot-wide "Welcome Arch" that stood in front of Union Station from 1906 to 1931, greeting visitors to Denver, was torn down.

PostgreSQL, meet AMQP.
Theo Schlossnagle
|From East 2010 Speakers
Often times, when we make changes in a database we also want to "do something useful." Simply sending and email or triggering an ETL into a non-postgres system like Lucene is also a bit convoluted and painful. By using asynchronous messaging, we can make this simple. There have been a few attempts in the past to add into postgres the ability to queue external tasks, but with AMQP you get a complete package.
pg_amqp marries the AMQP standard into PostgreSQL providing transaction-aware message queueing. We'll talk about how easy it can be to get an AMQP enabled postgresql up and running with pg_amqp. We'll also discuss the caveats that exist in pg_amqp (currently implementing AMQP 0.8) and how AMQP 1.0 will eventually solve them.

Dear Trail Heads,
Trail Head Cyclery is truly a bike shop; a full service shop built and staffed to not only build new bikes to the highest standards, but to perform repairs and upgrades daily.
In a time where a lot of shops seem to be transitioning into stores with little selection and outsourcing complex repairs, Trail Head has kept our focus on the mechanical service side. You will see this the moment you visit our shop with two of our repair bays right on the sales floor for you to see. Hang out and watch a wheel being built or a Fox Fork torn apart for repair. Ask a question and get an honest answer from somebody who has chosen repairing bikes as their career.
Of course we sell new bicycles every day, but eventually those bikes will need repairs. And what about that trusty steed in your garage that really just needs a little love to see the light of day again? At Trail Head Cyclery, we will not try to sell you a new bicycle unless the repair cost is so great it makes sense to. When you bring your bike to Trail Head, one of our experienced service techs will do a full evaluation of your bike and give you an honest opinion of what has to be repaired and what could simply improve the ride experience. You make the decision in the end what is best for you!
Some of you are great at doing your own repairs and upgrades, which we can really appreciate! You will find a staggering inventory of small parts in stock, the largest selection of tires anywhere and the chosen components found in the latest reviews. We are in favor of seeing, holding and talking about a part before making a purchase while staying competitive on our prices. Not to mention compatibility!
New bikes are awesome though, and you will find a staggering selection in stock and ready to ride. If it is on our sales floor, then we can assure you that we disassembled then re-assembled that bike to the highest standards. We call it the Trail Head Pro Build, and there is a section of our website dedicated to showing off this rare process. Check it out, I think you will like what you see.
Trail Head Cyclery was founded in 1997 by the father and son team of John and Lars Thomsen. The Thomsen family had the unique experience of cruising aboard a 38 foot sailboat for over two years, and out of that life changing experience one learns to do things right the first time! You also learn to use nothing but quality parts that will not fail days from reaching land. Mountain biking is a little like sailing in that you venture into the forest and rely on your bicycle performing well to bring you safely home. Come to think of it, that's true about all forms of riding isn't it!
We carefully select only quality parts and accessories to keep in stock, skipping the high profit, cheaply made stuff that just doesn't last. From pumps to lights, tires and helmets, our selection is not only complete but also made to last. That doesn't always mean expensive. There are reasonably priced options right along side industry leading options. We understand that not everybody lives and breaths bikes like we do and that there are tight budgets to be sure. That said, there really is no such thing as a good deal on a bike or part of poor quality. You simply end up buying it twice!
If you are looking for a bike shop with a friendly, knowledgeable staff that loves to ride and doesn't have an attitude, give Trail Head Cyclery a chance to make your cycling more enjoyable, safe and most of all, fun!
Ride hard, take chances!

North Georgia Cabin Rentals are only the first step to the experience of a lifetime. Georgia has a lot to offer to those seeking adventure in the great outdoors. For those who enjoy an active lifestyle the state has an abundance of mountain bike trails for any outdoor enthusiast looking for a challenge.
Yellow River Loops
No matter where you stay cabins in Helen Ga offer nearby access to incredible mountain biking trails. Beginners to the sport can try Yellow River's Creek Loop and River Loop in Yellow River Park. The five-mile Creek Loop begins with a mile long uphill slope, but after the first mile it is a downhill run over a terraced single-track with a few rocky challenges. The River Loop is more moderate and less technical, giving bikers a chance to enjoy the scenery. If you are new to the sport and prefer riding in a group of veteran mountain bikers the Atlanta branch of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle association (SORBA) meets at the Yellow River parking lot at 6 PM each Thursday.
Blanket's Creek
Cabins in Georgia closer to Atlanta offer access to Blanket's Creek which can be crowded because of its proximity to the metro area, but the seven miles of trails are moderately challenging and scenic for those who prefer a more leisurely ride. On the trails you can get an outstanding view of Lake Allatoona, and the Mosquito Flats Trail is a good place for beginners to practice before challenging the Dwelling loop Trail.
Unicoi State Park Mountain Bike Trail
Cabins in Georgia offer mountain bikers a chance to ride the seven mile loop at Unicoi State Park, a trail designed as a NORBA racing course suited for experienced bikers. The single track is built on an old road and promises challenging ascents and descents. There are scenic vistas along the way, but bikers would be wise to pay attention to the challenges on the track. It is not for beginners.
Ridgeway Bike Trail
Cabins in Ellijay, Georgia give mountain bikers access to the challenging six-mile Ridgeway Bike Trail which is suited for more experienced bikers. Trail information can be obtained at the starting point at the Ridgeway Recreation Area boat ramp on Carter Lake. Steep climbs followed by severe descents allow for a thrilling challenge.
Mulberry Gap
Located twelve miles from Ellijay surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest is a haven for mountain bikers at Mulberry Gap Mountain Bike Get-A-Way. Besides cabins and camping facilities it offers eighty miles of single track scenic, canopied trails with steep and gradual climbs, stream crossings, switchbacks, and roller coaster descents. It also offers access to the Pinhoti Trail, rated by the International Mountain Bicycling Association as Georgia's own epic trail. It is one hundred and forty miles long from the Benton Mackaye trail in North Georgia to the Alabama state line southwest of Rome, and offers beautiful views of the Georgia landscape.

As of March 15, 2016 (Posted June 2016)
Each spring, charter schools send the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (Department) the number of students enrolled for the upcoming school year as well as the number of students who were placed on the schools' waitlists through each school's initial lottery, which is typically held in February or March.
The information provided below reflects the number of students who applied to charter schools but did not gain admittance as of March 15, 2016. This initial 2016-2017 waitlist report finds the following:
In 2014, the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopted regulations requiring charter schools to refresh their waitlists every year, based on the most recent application cycle. These regulations, however, allowed schools to keep students on their waitlists who submitted applications before March 31, 2014. As shown in the table below, 12 schools continue to include such students from prior years on their active waitlists.
Please note that the total number figure represents every student record found on each charter school's submitted waitlist.
†These 12 schools have indicated to the Department that they included waitlist information established prior to March 31, 2014 in accordance with 603 CMR 1.05(10)(a).
The year's report is the byproduct of additional Department support and technical assistance to the field, reflecting the Department's ongoing effort to increase the timeliness and accuracy of school waitlist reports. Each charter school is responsible for maintaining its own individual waitlist. To ensure uniformity, DESE created a waitlist collection template and required charter schools to use it to input their waitlist data. This template embedded tools that automatically flagged duplicate records, which each school could then remove before submitting its waitlist. In order to verify student information and address overall waitlist accuracy, the Department checked each charter school waitlist for transcription errors and inconsistencies. The schools then had to address any concerns or errors identified and resubmit their waitlists. Additionally, charter schools that self-identified as including waitlists established prior to March 31, 2014, as permitted by 603 CMR 1.05(10)(a), were required to identify each individual student who was included in those waitlists. Finally, the Department implemented changes to its matching process in order to increase accuracy for identifying students who applied for admission to more than one charter school.
The Department has made significant improvements over the years in quantifying the exact number of students who may be actively waiting for admission to a charter school. The unique waitlist counts provided in this current report should be taken as the Department's best understanding and representation of initial demand for the upcoming 2016-2017 school year rather than exact numbers of students willing to accept offers at each school.
The Department thanks all of the charter school administrators and staff who worked diligently to report their waitlists as accurately and as promptly as possible.
The appendix to this report can be found in the attached Excel file, which contains:
For more information on waitlist policy and procedures and the number of students found on previous cycles of charter school waitlists, see Charter Schools Enrollemnt website. For further information regarding this report, please contact Brenton Stewart at email@example.com or the Office of Charter Schools and School Redesign at firstname.lastname@example.com.
1 The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopted changes to the charter school regulations in March 2014 (see 603 CMR 1.05(10)(a)), which has affected how charter schools collect waitlist data. Under the amended regulations, charter schools maintain waitlists only for the school year for which students applied (i.e., carrying over student names from enrollment lotteries from one year to another is no longer permitted). However, charter schools were allowed to maintain any waitlists that were established prior to March 31, 2014 until such waitlists are exhausted, provided that such maintenance is clearly articulated in the school's enrollment policy approved by the Department.
2 The Department has worked with schools to identify the students who were placed on waitlists prior to March 31, 2014. This additional information now allows the Department to identify, for the first time, students who submitted applications for admittance in the current year. Note: Out of 23,601 newly applying students in 2016-17, 613 were added to new waitlists while still remaining on other school waitlists based on applications submitted prior to March 31, 2014.

Derek Barker is seeking information on this one. This brick is commonly found in Bradford, West Yorks. Buildings containing it suggest production in the first few decades of the 20th century. Essentially then we are looking for a brick-maker active in the period 1910-1940 able to supply bricks in large numbers for a prestigious city build (like a hospital or cinema) but local enough to be a source for small single house developments. Collieries commonly possessed their own brick-works. Birkenshaw Colliery Co was owned by various members of the Gill family from 1911 until in 1947, but at the moment I have no evidence whatever that they ever owned a brickworks. Another possible theory is that the initials stood for Bradford City Ceramics or Clay; the great difficulty with this theory is that neither name is attested in any of the trade directories that cover its likely period of operation. A Bradford Corporation Brickworks is noted at Rook Lane near Bowling. Hypothetically 'Bowling Clay Company' or 'Bradford Corporation Clay' are possibilities but, I must stress, the names are also entirely unattested in any trade directory.

This photo set is a few weeks old, so I apologize for the delay. I just returned home from a business trip to Northern California. PacSun sent myself and a friend up north to discover the hidden gems in each major city. I flew in to Sacramento and traveled from Roseville and Yuba City to Paradise and Chico, ultimately ending in Napa and Sonoma which were absolutely heavenly. I can officially say that I've been in a hot air balloon over the vineyards of Napa. For those of you who are interested, I have a few photos up on my instagram (ambersaylor).

My Skin Tag Removal Story
Well all of that blog post about skin tag and lasers has lead up to this. I was invited by Dr Chen, to try out their new clinic branch at TTDI.
A few years ago I was given a chance to try Fractional CO2 laser at their UOA clinic. It was definitely an experience I will remember. It was done to remove some scars from past acne.
I was again invited to try a procedure with their new Premier Clinic which specialized in Aesthetic treatments. They have a quite number of treatment choices ranging from lasers, botox, fillers and weight loss treatment. Basically almost everything a Holywood star does to keep them looking like they do, is available here.
I personally don't have any issues even though I am on the plump size. However after skimming through their website, they actually provided a procedure to remove skin tags. I checked my own neck and yes, there were a few skin tags here and there.
The skin tag procedure actually uses the same CO2 laser machine that was used for my Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. What a multipurpose machine this is.
I wonder if this is the same machine that was used on me in Wisma UOA
The reason I choose this treatment is because it's something I need and the result in instantaneous. In addition the recovery time is every swift. Hell yeah, I am going to try this.
Bye bye pesky skin tags
When I tried to Google Map the clinic, it does not actually show itself on the map. If you managed to get the row of shoplots and the Pasar TTDI nearby, you are in the right path. Besides, by the time you drive there, the sign board is actually visible from the road side.
Parking is okay, I mean if you have an appointment, you will get a free parking in front of their clinic, if not, you can just park near the market for like 50 cent an hour.
The front entrance and reception
When you enter the clinic, it looks presentable, it feels like a regular hotel or spa lobby. However, if you just loathed being seen in an Aesthetic clinic, they do have a private waiting room inside, hidden from view, as you wait for your treatments.
No one has to know
Before getting my skin tag removed, I was prepped. They applied some numbing cream to the cleaned area of my neck and the cream is left to do its magic for about half an hour. They do have WIFI, so FB or Tweet while you wait.
My hair was long, so I got hair nets.
Before the procedure, they put on this eye goggles to protect your eyes from the lasers. Since there was numbing cream on, from a scale of 1 to 10 in the pain level, I would say the pain level is about a 2. You feel a bit of heat and some poking. However one thing I did not realized is the smoke from your skin tags vaporizing into this air. I actually laughed at this part because it smelled like ikan masin goring (fried salted fish).
The tool used to apply the lasers
In about 10 minutes the whole procedure was over and I was shown what was removed from my neck. Eeewww.
Eeeww indeed
The advice they gave me was that the area where the skin tag was removed will feel like an ulcer, so I should avoid the sun, chlorine and salt water in that area. So if you sweat, you totally wipe the area dry. That's about it. No bleeding, not weird marks, it's just gone. Fantastic
What skin tags? There is barely any marks of its existence
Give them a call, sms or FB private message and they will cater to all your questions and needs. You can also visit them at www.premier-clinic.com

Well now, fancy meeting you here.
As promised, here is the second part to my Laura Talks Books exclusive – again, you can thank my wonderful university for the pleasure. The third and final part will come later this month – so keep your eyes peeled.
Though, not literally. That would be gross. For the love of God, please don't start peeling your eyeballs. Your parents will be SO mad at me…!
Ahem. As I was saying. This is your second little treat, and it just so happens to be a world exclusive interview with the one and only, Derek Landy, as he talks about his new upcoming trilogy, Demon Road, for the first time in an interview.
I'm too good to you. I really am.

Moon Song is a young metisse woman, half Anglo and half Chippewa, but she identifies herself as being of the Chippewa tribe. She has a baby and had spent the winter working at a lumber camp where she also nursed an axeman (who'd been a preacher) nicknamed "Skypilot" back to health. Moon Song has good reason to believe that a white man won't stay with a native woman long term--this was especially true in earlier times among the soldiers who came and went from the forts.

No, I've never been to Michigan's upper peninsula (or Michigan for that matter) but I'm sure it's beautiful. So many places in the US that I'd love to visit! Oh, I liked Serena's Amazon page. Thanks for the giveaway. I've read only great reviews of this book.ReplyDelete

I didn't realize one could like an amazon page, but I just did it! I'm afraid I've never been to the UP - many friends out there/from there, but I typically stay on the other end of the lake where there's a bit less snow and more cold.ReplyDelete

Great review, Carrie - loved the insertion of your personal experiences, also! Thank you!ReplyDelete
I have been to Mackinac Island, but have wanted to tour the upper peninsula for years! Fell in love with Michigan's lake areas when I lived in an apartment on a bluff, overlooking Lake Michigan, in St. Joseph, Mi. (the extreme other end of the state, from the upper peninsula)! I have returned to Michigan - numerous times, since.
I love the story line for "Under a Blackberry Moon", haven't read any of Serena's books, and would love to read this one! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
