GIRLS und PANZERPost Reply
Fire!! wait your shooting at your own people......
time to go down range
Wow. Still nothing has happened. The episode title threw me off. The match still hasn't started! Although they did customize the tanks. I get the feeling that nothing big will ever happen. Or if it does, it'll be the last episode. This series vaguely reminds me of Sound of the Sky. Although Sound of the Sky only had one tank, and it was only used at the very end.
Girls und Panzer Episode 3
this part couldn't stop laughing
And the 300th post belongs to me! Bow down to your new forum overlord! Lol, jk jk.
In all seriousness though, finally got around to watching episode 3. Tired as hell right now though, so won't be giving my usual long-winded analysis.
The colourful tanks were somewhat interesting, especially the pink one. It also seems that the protagonist's team is a well-rounded powerhouse of tankery awesomeness, and almost unbeatable, if the mock battle is anything to go by. We also had some more wonderful fanservice scenes.
Looking forward to seeing how this new battle plays out.
Zura ja nai! Katsura da!
Uhhh, the "main team" has the most members (iirc). That's an unfair advantage.
So, I see that they live on some sort of large battleship modeled to be a town, or something. What's up with that? Did they explain that and I wasn't paying attention?
So far I am finding the series to be "OK", after I just watched episodes 3 and 4. So far I am enjoying the story and do believe it has potential however I believe I can predict what will happen down the line. If I had to rate this anime thus far, it would not be the most favorable but that does not mean I think the anime is bad. To be honest I am not finding it to be my cup of tea and that's my opinion. The one thing that has been bothering me to no end is WHY THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER? I know it's something minor but still that thing has to be over a 100 miles long. Why and how I ask? Also what is the point?
Im off to the see the wizard.
Episode 4 - Captain Does Her Best!
So they lost their first match. Big surprise when all these girls are incompetent. It seems being moe doesn't leave much room for intelligence or even basic common sense. How can you fire so many rounds and hit nothing?!?!?!?! Not to mention that one team just ran away like little babies!
I'l be honest, after the first episode I was like
Oh god this is slow, I'll watch it after I finish Gundam X, so I'm not always thinking about Gundam X during this show.
And well, I think it's time to brush up on my MS Paint skillz
This is on the school grounds, yet nobody knew it until they started looking? For shame!
Yeah, I'd stare at a tank that "mysteriously" got stuck in a little nook half way down a shear canyon wall. In fact, the mystery isn't really how the tank got there, but how the Cliff got there, WHY IS THERE A CLIFF NEAR THIS SCHOOL?
Water and metal don't mix, there is like no way that's functional.
The last one isn't getting a picture, it was found in a reasonable place and I think my post is large enough for just episode 2. You'll get Episode 3 later, I'll even grab the pictures and watch it now.
The fact that men "arn't really into tankery" is thrown around, and that's cool
How you've yet to see a man in the show, that's ok.
How as far as I've seen, not a single teacher has been shown, that's also cool.
But the fact that one girl be boy crazy in a world without men? That pushes it a little.
That underwater tank. Not only is there no way it's functional, I'd be surprised if it was structurally intact enough for use at all. There's a lot of rust bucket vehicles on the road here in Missouri that are literally coming apart. If that thing sat fully submerged, there's no possible way it has any worth being put back into service.
Also, that cliff is actually on a giant ship, so it's not a natural occurrence. The tank probably drove vertically up the cliffside and then broke down. That's the best explanation I can come up with, even though it makes no sense.
Yeah, my follow up post was going to include a picture of them talking about going to port while sitting on the side of the "city" ship they're on. WIth a "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" attatched.
Instead we got these gems!
This picture is win
Look! It's the main characters!
Wait. What do you mean they're not the main characters? Look at their clothes! It distinguishes them from the rest of the group and gives them shallow-yet-actual character development simply from sight alone! I need nothing but to look at them to distinguish the smart one, the cool one, the hard worker, and the leader. You're telling me these arn't our heroines? Then who the heck...
Are you guys even TRYING?
Seems legit.
OK, can't help it.
This explains the Carrier Plane.
But it does not explain WHY IS THERE A CLIFF ON THE BOAT? WHY IS THERE A POND WITH A TANK IN IT? WHY THE HELL ARE THEY PRACTICING TANKERY ON A BOAT? ARE THEY CRAZY?
Why are they using live rounds and fighting in town while civilians just stand around and watch???

School pupils experience land-based courses at the RAU, as part of the School Farms Network initiative
The RAU visited Year 10 students on 28 November, as part of the School Farms Network Education Alliance (SFNEA) partnership.
The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) has been named safest university in England and Wales, according to the Complete University Guide.
The South West was also named the safest region in the UK, according to the data, with the lowest number of incidents across all three categories per 1,000 residents.
The Complete University Guide is compiled based on the crimes most relevant to students. Based on three identified offences – burglary, robbery, and violent and sexual crimes – universities were ranked on the cumulative rate of all three crimes occurring over 12 months. They were recorded in the areas where students live during term-time, based on official police data, at almost 130 universities and higher education institutions in England and Wales.
It is important to note that although the crimes are those considered the most relevant to students, the figures themselves are based on all victims in the local area, not just students.
See the full table on the Times Higher Education website.

On August 12, 2017, step back into Bucks County's rich history at a reenactment celebrating Washington's August 1777 Neshaminy Encampment. The grounds of the Moland House come alive with 18th Century music, children's games, and demonstrations of colonial crafts.
The event is held in honor of all the men and women of the American Revolution who fought for the country's independence with the First Crossing Volunteer Militia. Reenactors will engage in skirmishes and representations of colonial life.
Many activities are planned throughout the day including:
- Benjamin Franklin demonstrating 18th century technology
- 18th Century Music
- A look back at common trades: Spinning, Barrel Making, Distilling, Woodworking, Blacksmithing, Powder Horn Making, Quilting, Folk Painting, and Archaeology
- Puppet Shows & 18th Century Children's Toys and Games
- Tours of the Historic Moland House which dates back to the mid-1700's. Mrs. Moland continued to live in the home following her husband's death in 1761 and was residing in the home at the time of the Neshaminy Encampment when George Washington and the troops stayed on the property.
The Gift Shop will be open and Light Refreshments will be available for purchase. Rain date is August 19, 2017
Admission is $5 for adults with discounts available for seniors, children, and families. Proceeds will benefit the continued preservation of the Moland House property.

Weigh Stations
Hey, folks. So, I commute on I-95 to and from work every day and I notice daily these trucks that exit and go to the weigh station in Martin county, and others that just drive on by. Why so? What's the criteria for trucks that have to enter the station, and the others that are allowed to drive by? Just curious ...I get irritated by the many trucks on the roads with the aggressive driving, bald tires, and other dangerous equipment. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Be safe!

Some trucks are allowed to bypass because they pay for a service that electronically screens them. Google the two in the subject line for more info.

What do you to when you know you are being lied to? When you have the feeling that something is just not right? I know something is not right. Things just don't add up. I hate to be paranoid, but isn't paranoid better than naive? I have no idea. I guess I have to be a detective and figure this thing out. I do know one thing, though. I am handling this whole thing pretty dang well. I mean, couple of years ago I would have been a mess. And now, well, I'm sad, of course. I'm hoping to reach the "mad" stage pretty soon. I just don't like liars. So, should I be naive or paranoid? I just don't know!

Family Involvement in Early Multicultural Learning. ERIC Digest.
Family Involvement in Early Multicultural Learning. ERIC Digest. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Recent studies suggest that the involvement of parents and teachers with young children provides natural opportunities for modeling and nurturing positive cultural attitudes. Strategies that support children's multicultural learning within a context of family involvement are of three types. The first of these is parent education and support. Teachers can support parents by holding orientation meetings to discuss multicultural curricula, sharing multicultural information, and helping parents find resources. The second strategy involves school-family curriculum activities. Activities and resources for children, parents, and teachers include study groups on cultural issues, field trips, the use of materials from various cultures in the classroom, multicultural displays, and original books created by children and their families. Multicultural resources and activities specifically for children include family stories written by children and their parents, children's literature that exhibits a multicultural perspective, storytelling by adults to children, videotapes, audiocassettes, and music produced by children themselves. The third strategy relates to parent-teacher partnerships. Parents can participate in establishing multicultural guidelines for the curriculum and can serve as resource persons for teachers. Teachers can share with families items such as books and videotapes that have a multicultural focus. Using these strategies, families and teachers can prepare children to become sensitive members of a multicultural community. (BC)

Consumer vs. seller : returns and complaints
by Marta Pietrzak
In the era of omnipresent consumerism, shopping becomes a way of life. In such a high frequency of purchasing, every consumer should know his rights, and most importantly, every consumer should know how to return goods or make a complaint.
The first and also the basic issue of consumer law is 'Return the goods'. It should be noted that other rules apply to the purchase of goods from store and other to the purchase of goods at a distance:
1. If you buy goods directly (in store) – it is possible to turn previously purchased merchandise, but there must be a specific reason. Return of goods can be made if the product has a defect, and only with the consent of the vendor. Seller is not obliged to accept the return of non-defect goods because the client changed his mind or thing stopped him to please.
2. Another principle is valid for purchases at a distance (for example off-premises or via the internet) which nowadays it is becoming more and more popular – in this case, the consumer may cancel the sale-purchase contract within 14 days and at the same time consumer has the obligation to return the goods within 14 days.
Return the goods without giving a reason is possible only if the seller agrees on it. In accordance with Polish law, the seller is not obliged to accept the non-defect goods, but can do it. This practice leads many shops. However, these are only the internal arrangements of a store. Some stores make public information possible terms of return the goods without giving a reason, for example: 7, 10 or even 30 days. The main objective of such procedures is to encourage customers to make purchases. Statistics show that customers are much more likely to do shopping in stores where it is possible to return the goods.
With reference to above mentioned information, the consumer may return the goods only if there is a specific reason and only the consent of the seller, in some of the following situations:
– purchased goods are not fit for the purpose for which it is normally used,
– characteristics of the purchased goods do not correspond to properties characterized by this type of commodity or,
– the purchased product does not have the characteristics shown purchaser during shopping.
In addition, to return the defective goods, must meet two conditions:
– goods must be in perfect condition – it cannot be used and
– goods must be paid along with proof of purchase (receipt) and with all tags companies.
Moreover, it should also distinguish the aspect of returning the goods from the complaint. Many buyers equate a complaint with the return of the goods, which is totally incorrect.
Firstly, the complaint and return the goods have only one thing in common. This is a 'defect of the purchased goods'. It means that both operations can be done only if the product is defective.
Secondly, return of goods is the seller, not the consumer, right. Consumers may return the defective goods, but only with the consent of the seller, while the complaint is a consumer right. Just the product has to be defective. Then the consumer can start the complaints procedure, seller agreement does not any matter.
Thirdly, return of goods concerns only the unused goods. The purchaser can return goods only if it has not used before. In the case of a complaint, the product can be used. Recognizing the consumer's claims, salesman somehow finds that during using a product, it was revealed some non-conformity with the agreement (defects) which existed at the time of delivery of the goods.
Fourthly, the returns involve with the immediate return of cash by the seller to the consumer. The buyer returns the purchased goods to the seller, and the seller returns the money to the buyer for the goods purchased. The complaint does not involve an immediate cash return. In most cases, the complaint is not based on the reimbursement of cash, but only on the exchange of goods or repair. Consumer consisting complaint has the right to choose between the claim for repair or replacement. Termination of the contract and refund is possible if the seller does not comply with the request.
And how was it before?
According to the old law it was possible to return some of the goods within 5 days. Unfortunately, this type of legal solution still exists in the minds of many buyers in Poland. It must be remembered that this legal provision expired several years ago.

Key Data for Keeping Marron
Marron is intolerant of high water temperature. Marron grows at 12.5-24℃ and grows best at 24℃. However, above this temperature, Marron growth declines rapidly and mortalities occur at 30℃.
Dissolved Oxygen
Marron is intolerant of low oxygen level and becomes stressed when dissolved oxygen drops below 3ppm. The oxygen levels should be maintained at or above 6ppm.
Water Quality
The water should be preferable alkaline ( pH 7.5-10.5). Marron is rarely found in acidic waters (pH below 7.0) where moulting and shell hardening problems occur.
Marron will tolerate salinities up to 15ppt. However, low salinities are most suitable, as growth decreases when salinities are above 6-8ppt.
Marron may take 18-24 months to reach breeding age. Marron mates in early spring and, depending on the size of the female, she incubates 200-900 eggs for 12-16 weeks. A ratio of 1 male to every 3 females brings 75% female broodstock the incubation. Marron breeds only once a year. The juvenile will be released in early summer.
Marron can grow to 60-150g within 12 months and 100-300g within 24 months. Marron grows to 2kg.
Porcelain disease (White tail disease)
This disease is caused by a single-celled animal, microspordian, Thelohania. The crayfish, being an opaque or whitish blotched abdomen in the advanced phase, will die. The disease is transmitted through cannibalism of infected individuals. There is no known treatment for Thelohania. The disease may be managed by screening out and destroying animals, though the disease can not be easily detected in the early stage. Thelohania has not reported in Marron in Australia but in Japan thelohania may be in Marron.
Crayfish plague
Crayfish plague caused by fungus Aphanomyces astaci and originated in the United States spread to Europe and destroyed their crayfish stocks. The fungus is not present in Australia, but it is not known whether the fungus is present in Japan or not.
A temnocephalan or an epistylis are found on the gill or shell. They are not actively harmful to Marron but they may cause the harm if there are too many. Temnocephalan or epistylis may be removed with salt baths. Dose: either 30 grams of salt (not table salt but sea salt or artificial sea salt) per liter of bath, for 2-3 minutes; or 10 grams per liter of bath, for 30 minutes.
Marron is primarily detritovore and its main sources of nutrition are the microbes (including bacteria and fungi) that break down leaf matter. Best growth rates are achieved with supplementary feeding. Pelletized diet does not completely replace natural food sources as the sole source of nutrition for Marron.

Business software company and Hidden Gems recommendation Pegasystems
Because we already have results for three quarters of the year under our belts, let's skip the quarter-on-quarter comparisons and go straight to the nine-months view. Comparing year-to-date results with the first three quarters of 2003, revenues declined 8%. That may not look too bad, but take note of the components of the overall revenue stream: Higher-margin licensing revenue declined 38%, while lower-margin services revenue rose 38%. In other words, over time, the company appears to be replacing higher-margin business with lower-margin (read "less profitable") business. Not a promising trend.
The margin numbers bear that out, with overall gross margins declining slightly from 73% to 72.4%. Combine that with the fall in revenues and rise in marketing expenses as the company tries to replace revenues lost from its split with First Data, and overall operating margins collapsed from 18.5% to 5.5%. The final proof, of course, is in the profits: Whereas last year, Pegasystems pulled down $0.40 per diluted share for the first nine months, this year that fell 70%, to $0.12.
Moving on to the cash flow statement, the damage looks less severe, but only slightly so. Pegasystems requires only minimal capital expenditures to keep its business running, so cash from operations is almost synonymous with free cash flow (FCF) here -- and cash from operations declined 63% year on year. Total free cash flow for the first nine months of 2004 came in at just $5.5 million (suggesting a run rate for the year of about $7.3 million).
With an enterprise value (EV) of $190 million and a forward EV/FCF of 26, even if the five-year projected growth rate of 20% shown on Yahoo!

Workplace collisions between religion and other protected interests
December 27th, 2012 | Lorene Park
Recent news reports have proclaimed that a White House petition to recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group had become the most popular petition ever. The church had announced plans to picket the funeral of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut (which the church claims was God's wrath over gay marriage). Meanwhile, individuals referred to as good Samaritans by newspapers lined up to thwart a potential protest at the funeral of Principal Dawn Hochsprung. This collision between freedom of religion and freedom from the religious practices of others has also become a theme in the workplace, though on a smaller scale.
Overview of federal law. Title VII prohibits employment discrimination and harassment based on religion. The Act exempts religious corporations, associations, or institutions. The EEOC broadly defines "religion" to include "moral or ethical beliefs as to right and wrong that are sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views." Unless it would be an undue hardship, an employer must reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices. As outlined below, the duty to accommodate applies in several contexts. As for undue hardship, according to the EEOC, this can be shown if an accommodation conflicts with another law or violates the terms of a CBA, or if it "requires more than ordinary administrative costs, diminishes efficiency in other jobs, infringes on other employees' job rights or benefits, impairs workplace safety, or causes co-workers to carry the accommodated employee's share of potentially hazardous or burdensome work."
Scheduling issues. In practice, many religious discrimination claims involve the failure to grant requests by employees to not work on holy days. Sometimes the case turns on whether a court considers it to be an undue burden for coworkers to either pick up the slack of or to swap shifts with the absent employee. For example, the Fourth Circuit recently affirmed summary judgment for an employer that would have had to incur more than a de minimus cost to accommodate a dump truck driver's absences for his Saturday Sabbath observance (EEOC v Thompson Contracting, Grading, Paving, and Utilities, Inc, 4th Cir 2012). On the day of the absence at issue, the employer used all of its drivers and also hired thirteen outside contractors. According to the court, in this circumstance, having other drivers pick up the slack caused by the employee's absence was "an unacceptable alternative." On the other hand, a court in a different case denied summary judgment to an employer that failed to show it reasonably accommodated a Seventh-day Adventist employee's request not to work the Sabbath (Kilpatrick v Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC, MDAla 2012). The employer refused to grant exceptions to its attendance rules and there was no evidence that it would have been an undue hardship to allow the employee and coworkers to voluntarily swap shifts.
Dueling religions. Employers have also faced conflicts between employees of different religions. In a recent case, a Christian employee responsible for organizing office functions complained that his employer violated Title VII when it changed the date of a staff luncheon so that other employees fasting for Ramadan could attend and when it advertised the times that Muslim staff brought bagels to share (Ross v Colorado Department of Transportation, DColo 2012). His hostile work environment claim failed because, though he was subjectively offended, there was no evidence the events were objectively severe or pervasive enough to create a religiously hostile environment. Further, by relieving the employee of his duties to organize and advertise the lunch, the employer reasonably accommodated him. In addition, the court found that the employee's preferred accommodation (not changing the date) would have created an undue hardship by forcing the employer to tread on the religious beliefs of other employees.
LGBT rights. In some cases, gay and lesbian employees have alleged religious discrimination based on the fact that they do not share coworkers' views that homosexuality is a sin. Courts have rejected such claims, ruling that the alleged bias was based on sexual orientation, not religion (e.g., Pedreira v Kentucky Baptist Homes, 6th Cir. 2009). On the other hand, one federal district court recently upheld a professor's religious bias claim where her religion required rejecting homosexuality and she was denied a position in a department staffed by faculty who support the LGBT community (Gadling-Cole v West Chester University, EDPa 2012). The court rejected the university's position that her claim was actually based on her (heterosexual) sexual orientation and not her religion.
Dress code. An employer's duty to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices also applies to dress or grooming practices that an employee has for religious reasons. According to the EEOC, these might include wearing particular head coverings or other religious dress (such as a Jewish yarmulke or a Muslim headscarf), or wearing certain hairstyles or facial hair (such as Rastafarian dreadlocks or Sikh uncut hair and beard). It also includes an employee's observance of a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments (such as pants or miniskirts). Some states are also incorporating this issue into their antidiscrimination laws. For example, in September 2012, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill barring employers from taking adverse employment actions based on an employee's religious dress or grooming practice (AB 1964). The law clarifies, however, that employers are not required to make an accommodation that is demonstrated to produce an undue hardship.
Captive audience. Another issue that is cropping up involves religious discussions taking place in mandatory workplace meetings. Several courts have held that employers violated Title VII by requiring all employees, while at work, to attend religious services or meetings where the employer's religion was promoted. Some courts have pointed out that allowing employees to opt out of such meetings may avoid the Title VII violation. A few states are also beginning to take action on this issue. For example, Oregon, New Jersey, and Wisconsin have enacted laws that generally prohibit employers from taking adverse employment actions against employees who choose not to attend meetings where religious or political matters are discussed.
Employer response and resources. In light of the foregoing, it should go without saying that employers should tailor workplace policies to allow for religious and other accommodations required by law. For example, any dress code policy should include a procedure for requesting exceptions based on religion and a grievance procedure. If an employee raises the issue of accommodating his or her religious practices or beliefs, the employer should work with the employee to come up with a solution. Approaches may include flexible scheduling, using floating holidays, relaxing dress or grooming standards, and job reassignment. Employers should also determine whether accommodations would impose an undue hardship, keeping in mind how the EEOC and courts construe that concept. For example, employers need not take an action that disproportionately increases other employees' workloads or deprives them of rights under a CBA or seniority system. Employers should also document efforts to accommodate employees. The EEOC website provides additional information and resources for employers, including guidance and fact sheets, at http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/religion.cfm.

New Year's Eve is the biggest event of the year for which everyone waits eagerly. Now that December has already taken us so far in the dropping temperature of Delhi, 2017 is about to come to its end to begin something afresh or to be precise, to begin 2018 with a new mantra! How are you planning to celebrate this New Year? Watching silly award functions on TV sitting at home accompanied with some munchies near you, is that what you are thinking? Bar your thinking and let your imagination flow as New Year is not restricted to your house.
It's time to celebrate and say Goodbye to the year which gave you so much to experience, love and honour. Celebrating with different kinds of ideas makes a lot more sense than just sitting in front of the Television. There are numerous things that one can think of doing while we set off for a beautiful New Year's celebration.
Call for a House Party: Call all your friends, relatives, cousins and neighbours at the terrace of your house or rent a penthouse where you can celebrate. Decorate appropriately with balloons and ribbons. Put on the speakers with rock 'n' roll or pop music and bring along your dancing spirit. Food can be prepared at home or can be ordered from any of the famous Dhaba, Restaurant or Cafe. Serving liquor, mocktails, juices, and beverages totally depend on the host of the party. 2018 welcome cake and bonfire can also be a part of the House Party.
Opt for a Night Out: One of the best options can also be a "Night Out" for which friends are enough as a company. Or, it can be a Night Out party with your family, relatives and friends on a long drive, to a lounge/pub, Restaurant, Cafe, some Music Event or a Movie Show, Connaught Place (where people cheerfully live the nightlife), Family picnic in a garden, etcetera.
Book Tickets for a Travel Plan: Staying in Delhi is not the only option left for celebrating New Year. One can fly to a nearby hill station or beach just to make New Year more memorable this time. Places that one can plan to visit can be Goa, Bangalore, Never sleeping city-Mumbai, Kolkata, Pondicherry, Gulmarg, Manali, Mcleodganj, Kerala and many other. It'd be a great idea to travel and welcome 2018 in a different way!
A neighbourhood party: Talk to all the neighbours and dutch an equal amount of money so that a whole society party can happen with a full-fledged Dance Performance, Buffet set up, Dance floor, Dj, Cake arrangement and so many games for kids and adults to play. This would make up for a big New Year Party bash.
Camping on a New Year: Take out your Tents, Firewood and Trekking bags to set for a Trekking and camping trip this New Year. A bonfire, camp, making food in natural circumstances, all under a sky full of stars! What would be more beautiful a celebration on this New Year?

On June 5th NetApp decided to disrupt the IT market and came out with several announcements around the Data Fabric, ONTAP 9 and finally their own HyperConverged solution. In this blogpost, I'd like to look a little bit deeper in how the HCI solution looks like and what we can expect when it is GA.
According to IDC, the global HCI (hyper converged infrastructure) market is at $3 billion in annual revenue, and it's expected to grow to $7 billion by 2020. NetApp HCI enables the customers to gain additional market opportunity and differentiation by selling an enterprise-scale hyper converged infrastructure into the most demanding data centers. Our IT market and industry is heading into the "Next Generation Data Center" and HCI is for sure one of the players in this area. To achieve consolidation and still maintain flexibility on the journey to the cloud customers need to look for new was on how to build their environments.
But what makes NetApp HCI so special?
Over the last couple of years we saw more and more HCI solutions floating the market. No matter if you talk about Nutanix, SimpliVity (now HPE), VMware vSAN (as part of VMware vSphere) or the most recent one Cisco HyperFlex. A lot of vendors, now also NetApp, have decided that this is a market the need to play in. Seeing all existing solutions the question could be "why the hell is NetApp releasing a HCI solution"? And I think the answer is simple: "Data Fabric" and "Enterprise Scalability". The last 5-7 years NetApp was really pushing to drive the Data Fabric vision which is now becoming true. Access and move your data whenever needed and wherever needed with almost no downtime. And the new NetApp HCI solution is already fully integrated in this story.
Second part of the answer is Enterprise Scalability. HCI so far was always a little bit limited when it came to low-latency or Enterprise workloads. Mainly because it was hard to control the data access or impossible to set QoS policies. And that's what NetApp HCI solves. By using NetApp SolidFire in the back-end they can easily set certain IO and performance policies to make sure that even an enterprise application works well. How does that look like.
Let say you got the "Noisy Neighbor" problem, where one VM that is consuming to much resources impacts and slows down all other VMs. A performance chart would usually look like this:
After setting QoS for the "Noisy Neighbor" or setting guaranteed performance for an other VM, you can optimize the environment and your performance chart will end up like this:
So for me, one of the key features and differentiators is, again, the QoS settings of SolidFire in the NetApp HCI backend.
What else?
Next to this another very important capability in these days is management and esp. open interfaces for automation. NetApp HCI can be completely orchestrated and managed by using a singe Application Program Interface (API). No matter what you want to do, you can use API calls to manage and automate everything. Easy to understand and very important looking into Next-Gen Data Centers.
Another important part of HCI is always the setup and maintenance process. NetApp HCI can be installed and configured within some hours to make sure you can leverage and use your new resources very fast.
NetApp HCI is fully integrated into VMware vSphere which makes the management and handling very easy. No new tools, nothing to learn.
What configurations and systems will be available?
NetApp HCI comes with compute- and storage nodes an 2-U chassis. The chassis can host 4 independent nodes (e.g. 3 storage and 1 compute nodes) and you scale by adding additional chassis with nodes. Everything is All-Flash only and runs SolidFire iSCSI in the back-end. But that doesn't mean you can't store any files on it or place other multi-protocol workloads. By leveraging ONTAP select within the HCI you can provide any kind of needed protocol access.
In the first version, available in GA later this year, you will see the following configurations available for you HCI installation:
Demo time?
For now I unfortunately didn't had the chance for hands-on but you can find a recorded NetApp HCI demo here:
Entering the HCI market is for sure a exciting step for NetApp but seeing the potential and idea behind the solution I'm sure they will become a serious competitor for all other, existing vendors.
Due to their 4 unique selling points I'm looking forward to get hands-on and show you even more.

My young sons and I stepped into an elevator and realized we were sharing space with Joni Eareckson, whom we had just heard speak. Although I only had a minute, it was long enough to tell her what an inspiration she was to our family. She smiled and said she was happy to hear that. Then the door opened and away she rolled.
It was July 1976, and we were at a Successful Living convention in Snow Bird, Utah. Joni was a featured speaker. Her biography, Joni, had just been published. In July of 1967, at the age of 17, Joni dove into a shallow spot in Chesapeake Bay, and broke her neck. When we met her, she had been in a wheelchair for nine years. Her beautiful smile and attitude were delightful. Her smile and attitude are still delightful today.
Joni has a daily 5 minute radio program which airs early each morning, Her messages are so inspiring as she delivers them in an upbeat tone. Sometimes she sings a few lines of a sweet song with her lovely voice. Listening to her always brightens my day.
Whenever my life faces difficult challenges, thinking of the countless obstacles Joni bravely faces helps me get a better perspective. She and her very dedicated husband, Ken, were married in 1982, so recently celebrated 35 years together.
If being a quadriplegic isn't difficult enough, Joni was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2010. It was a very difficult time, and her body limitations complicated her treatment. But she was very determined to eat right and pray even more fervently. Joni is an avid Bible scholar and has written many book discussing suffering and even Heaven.
We live in a time when we have access to many inspiring speakers and preachers. As grateful as I am for their ministries, no person on earth has inspired me more.
At the end of her first book, written only eight years after her diving accident, Joni wrote, "I will be pleased if only one person is drawn to Christ. . ." (as a result of hearing her testimony). She said it would make being in a wheelchair worth it.
July 30. 2017 marks 50 years since her life changed when she dove into Chesapeake Bay. During fifty years in a wheelchair, Joni has shared her inspiring story with people of all ages, all over the world. She directs ministries to disabled children and their families. And she is still going strong.

Twenty years in the big house
Sounds like a sentence handed down to a Jimmy Cagney character in an old gangster movie, but it's the landmark we're grappling with this summer. This coming Labor Day weekend, it will be two decades to the day since we closed on the CrazyStable. Staggering half-witted into this impossible undertaking at the tender age (we now realize) of 29, we had no inkling of what lay ahead. But this looming anniversary makes me realize that time, even more than money, has been the aspect of our lives most transformed by the journey.
Things here have a history of seeming to happen either very, very quickly or in geologic time, as if time itself expanded and contracted in some whimsical Einsteinian ballet. The decision to buy the place, for example, we recall as a panicked whirlwind: The housing bubble was expanding so fast, and our resources were so sorely limited, that a delay of months or even weeks seemed likely to lock us out of the market forever. (This, in fact, proved to be true--one of our rare correct financial intuitions.) And as the market soared, my recently widowed mother was in freefall, depressed, anorexic, and in imminent danger of winding up on our fold-out couch when she couldn't face another night alone in her Manhattan apartment. (The possibility that she would wind up anywhere else but with us never entered our minds--not yet, anyway.)
And so we made a frantic offer on the first few places we could afford that were big enough to accommodate us all in two separate apartments. (Thank God, at least we realized that my mother was unsuited for the spare-bedroom/share-the-couch arrangement.) As it happened, most of these houses were far bigger than big enough--an irony we only understood when we started to pay our heat bills. (We quite literally couldn't have afforded a smaller house, the kind sane people buy.) There was no leisure for pondering, or researching, or comparing; the real-estate agents would stand around in bored impatience like villains out of Dickens, reminding us of how many others were lined up to snap at each nasty morsel we viewed.
Our first walk-through of the CrazyStable, as ghastly as it was, left the vague impression of space and light and possibility, of squared-up timbers, and of honest decay ready for debridement instead of sleazy modern "remuddling." (No "original detail," but neither was there any dark faux-wood paneling, dropped ceilings, or interior Astroturf...just lots of rotting plaster and red-painted floors.) In a hurried glance, I could envision a parlor floor-through studio for my mother, a big eat-in kitchen for us upstairs, and an office and guest room on the third floor--and somewhere out there in back, a garden. [Spouse, by the way, claims that he remembers little of that first visit, because he is cleverly "blocking" it.] That sad and frantic March, we put down most everything we had on the scariest, sorriest house on the block.
And then time stretched...as we awaited the approval of our mortgage, a process that apparently required more consideration and paperwork than the preparation of a Vatican encyclical. April, May, June passed, countless phone calls were made and ignored, and still the bloody mortgage was "pending." We would drive past the house (to see if it was still standing, and to try to comprehend the scope of our folly), and Chang fils would spy us on the curb and scramble out to nag us. "When mortgage?" he would hector. "Lot other people want house!" (Once, he tempered his rant with a kindly comment about the length of our earlobes. "Long!" he said admiringly, tugging mine--which are, I think, of only average length. "Means long life!")
Finally, the mortgage came through (after I called the bank pretending to be a New York Times reporter, then wept noisily at our elusive loan officer for 10 minutes.) Closing was another whirlwind, Moving Day was a veritable "fog of war"...and then, after the dust settled, began 20 years worth of "renovation," about 87% of which has involved absolutely nothing happening. Years at a time during which our finances just about covered lightbulb replacement, and our skills and energy never rose to the task at hand. (In fairness, we were coping with a parade of dying relatives and then, in a rapturous change of pace, a new baby.) To this day, people come for the first time, look around, and say, "So! How long ya lived in this place?" I imagine they expect the answer in months. Mortified, I usually hedge: "Oh, heh heh, longer than you'd think!"
And that is why I want to celebrate 20 years in the big house, even though we're not even remotely "done." But we've survived, and we're still married, and the Mater was sheltered to the best of our ability, and now there is a Child who professes to love the house fiercely in its blowsy state of half-repair. Come September, we may host a house-warming, and a house blessing too. It's time.

I've been doing some thinking and have finally decided that it's time to quit smoking. Certainly, it is cost-prohibitive, but I've come to the conclusion that it's just not someone I wish to be. I'm tired of coughing, smelling like smoke, being out of breath when I climb a flight of stairs, and I'd like to be around long enough to see my grandchildren grow up. Besides, some of my least favorite people in this world are smokers and I don't want to be anything like them!
This weekend was Startup Weekend Columbus, which is basically a conference where people from all professional walks of life get together to develop hypothetical companies. Friendships are born, cards are handed out, and there's always a chance that a viable company will actually form. Some may call it nerdy, bit I think it's a really cool concept and I can't wait for SWC2 this fall!
Long weekend with the kids. Lots of whining today and I was ready to lock them both up for a while, but I guess you will have that! I signed up the Baby for swimming lessons today, so I'm really looking forward to her enjoying the water as much as I do! We've been spending a lot of time at the pool lately and I hope that will continue for many years.
My newest addiction these days is Twitter, which is essentially a running dialogue. It's fun, a great way to meet people, and utterly cracktastic. Should you ever find yourself on there, tweet me @sbarton1220. I'd love to hear from you!
Coming soon…the latest Daring Bakers challenge. I'm sure I can't say what it is yet, but it sounds like it will be a lot of work, which is always a tad daunting, but it sounds really yummy, so I'm looking forward to it!
Early morning tomorrow. I have a 7:30 call for a shoot, so it will be a long day, I'm sure!
No news on the car as Hubs tries to scrape up money to get it fixed. I've really had more than enough of this sharing-a-car thing!

Home > Prepper Terms > Larder
Essentially a pantry. A larder is a cool place for storing food. A "larder" is where early Americans kept their lard (which is the fat from the abdomen of a pig that has been clarified for cooking). Larders were built on the part of the house that received least amount of sun. Preppers sometimes refer to a "deep larder," which is in reference to food storage items that can last 10-25 years. Some Preppers have buried, hidden or split larders -- all in an effort to maximize their storage efforts from looters or natural loss.

My little men
I'm bragging on them because the past year their dad has been gone, they have had to take on extra responsibility and they haven't complained one time!! They take each day as it comes happy and cheerful.....and I marvel that teens CAN actually be happy and helpful afterall :P
Ive felt bad for having to ask so much of them...they are just willing and obedient and do it!!!
They are dressed for church in the pic above...they sang with their little sisters that night. It was funny because we had practiced a song that week just in case they are ever asked. I told them they should always be ready as the Lord may call on them to share His Word in song...well, there was no special singing that evening, so the song leader asked if the kids could sing.....wished you could've seen their faces!!! (mom is right once in awhile)
I'm praying they keep their sweet spirit of joy and happiness as they continue grow in their teen years! I plan to have lots of fun with my teens!!

The Australian Independent Media Network
Every time I pick up the paper, there's some letter or opinion writer criticising the Liberal Party and accusing Abbott of lying to the electorate. Why do people feel compelled to be so negative and ignore the wonderful achievements of this government?
Why, just last month the unemployment rate went down. That's pretty amazing when we have such a basket case economy and a carbon tax that's causing all these industries to shut down.
But this isn't about Labor's mistakes. We can't live in the past. This is about Abbott and his government's achievements.
When someone accuses them of lying to the public, I think we should all remember Julia's no carbon tax promise. Now there was an example of a deliberate lie. She went to the electorate making her carbon tax promise, all the time knowing that there'd be a hung parliament and intending to make a deal with…

A scene around Santiago.
The hotsprings bubble out of the rocks at the side of a stream that comes down a real cool canyon at the base of the Sierra La Laguna mountains. The best part of this trip though is not the hotsprings but the hike up the canyon to the falls and big pools which is a perfect spot for diving and swimming. The water this year was cooler than last time we were here. So only the hearty swam this time. The pictures just can't do real justice to the cool factor of this place. We discovered Skeena is part mountain goat as she gamely scaled the rocks and swam the pools to haul herself up and down the canyon. She's game for anything just as long as she's with her people. She enjoyed Susie's gentle rub down that evening and the next morning.
After we hiked back down the canyon we rewarded ourselves by a soak in the hot springs pools. The first pool proved the hottests but had to be abandoned as the small fish in it were constantly nibbling on you. A passing tourist said they were just nibbling the dead skin off of you but we're pretty sure they were pirana's! Thank God no one had a cut or we might all have died. The second pool was good though as it was a cooler temp and only had one of the little nibblers. None of that pack mentality common to dogs and bikers to gang up on us like his buddies in the first pool.
Susie was unable to wear her new leopard skin bikini today as she burnt her tummy on the first day she wore the 2 piecer. Seems 30 years without sun can make skin rather light sensitive. Another of the advantages of being in your 50's is you can go back to wearing the same types of clothes as you did in your teens. Who knew...
Anyways, our trip to Santiago was a great experience yet again. It is awesome to be able to share such a unique place with friends. Santiago is a beautiful old Mexican town as yet unspoiled by us Gringos. We only hope it can hang on to it's identity.
Note to Bob: The fishing license saga continues. I figured that I really should get a yearly fishing license. So, off to the malecon in Cabo we went. The table is there, the man is there, a book of licenses is there, what can go wrong? Well it turns out this is a junior license vendor and can only sell 1 day fishing licenses. The yearly license man is there manana. I swear to God before we leave Mexico I'm going to get a yearly fishing license. We laughed, thought of you and walked away.

Nelson @ 2009-02-19
Restaurant: Brighton_Coffee_Shop Los_Angeles
Nelson @ Brighton Coffee Shop: We were hungry and on Rodeo Drive. We went on a side street to Rodeo Drive and found an "affordable" place to enjoy brunch in the beautiful weather.
I ordered a spanish omelette, which was stuffed with mushroom, spinach, cheese, onion, avocado melted cheese (?typo on menu?), and piping hot spanish sauce (and it came with breakfast potatoes). The sauce was like a ketchupy tomato sauce and the omelette was absolutely stuffed with all that good stuff. The breakfast potatoes were delicious too. Apparently spanish omelettes typically have potato as a filling ingredient and tomato sauce over top, but this version only had the sauce. Next time I have spanish tapas, I'll have to try an authentic version.
Kitty ordered a breakfast Burrito with cheese, scrambled eggs, onion, apple-wood smoked bacon and chopped honey baked ham grilled inside a flour tortilla and served with avocado, sour cream and diced tomato. They were really generous with the avocado, although it is difficult to tell from the pictures. It tasted similar to my omelette, but that's a good thing - it was excellent!

One of the flaws of most market research today is that it is based on consumer surveys—people giving considered answers from the conscious part of the brain. But most buying decisions are made subconsciously.
In other words, what people say isn't always an accurate indicator of how they will actually act as a consumer. But their eyes tell a different story. By tracking eye movement and facial expressions in response to an ad, for example, it's possible to get a more accurate picture of how the person really feels about the ad and your brand.
Studies have shown that using eye tracking and facial coding improves consumer surveys by 20% to 40%.
EyeSee will explain how new technology can be used to track eye movements and facial expressions of consumers to uncover how they really feel about your brand, products or advertising.
