After watching the Philadelphia Flyers' puzzling and earlier-than-expected exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, three things came to mind.
First, and most disheartening, is the attitude of many of the players, some in key leadership roles. They often seemed passive and too willing to accept a loss.
Second, the organization needs to change its goaltending philosophy.
Third, there are a lot of reasons – excuses, really – to explain what happened.
To take the last item first, among the excuses given for the embarrassing end-of-the-regular-season and playoff performances are:
•The other teams' goalies were difficult to score on (true).
•Defenseman Chris Pronger's absence due to injury was a huge loss (true to a degree, but the Flyers didn't collapse when he went down earlier in the season).
•Newcomer Kris Versteeg arrived just as the team started its regular-season swoon in mid-February and maybe that was more than just a coincidence (hard to tell but he does take bad penalties).
•The Flyers' goalies were not up to the demands of the playoffs (partially true, but they also played very well at times).
•The 11 goalie switches in seven games gave the team a lack of confidence in the guy in goal (again, partially true, though denied by the players).
•The defense was out of whack (true).
•The offense couldn't get its act together (true, although some will credit the opponents' goaltending as the reason).
The most talked about issue is the Flyers' approach to goaltending.
What to do? There is an attitude in this organization that goaltending will work itself out, and there's an accompanying lack of patience when it doesn't.
In the 11 years I have been covering the Flyers, 15 different goalies – some touted as the franchise's savior – have been in net. Alphabetically they are Johan Backlund, Marty Biron, Sergei Bobrovski, Brian Boucher (twice), Sean Burke, Roman Cechmanek, Jeremy Duchesne, Ray Emery, Robert Esche, Jeff Hackett, Martin Houle, Michael Leighton (twice), Neil Little, Antero Nittymaki and John van Biesbrouck.
During that time there has never been an absolute commitment to one guy being number one. It's always, "we'll see who's hot," or "they have to compete to earn that spot."
The Flyers need to decide over the summer who their number one goalie is going to be and maybe trade to get him. When that is done, the number one, barring injury, should play 55 to 60 games, and the backup – who, if he isn't number one, should be Sergei Bobrovski – would play the rest.
Finally, all teams deal with slumps and injuries. The Flyers, clearly the best team in the NHL from October until the regular season's last six weeks, can be excused for some poor results. Sometimes the other team was simply the better team that night.
But the fade this team experienced went far deeper than just a bad night or a missing defenseman.
At a critical time in the season, some of the team's leaders – most notably Captain Mike Richards – dismissed a loss or the downward spiral of which that loss was a part as "nothing to worry about." They kept saying that when the games began to mean something – that's hockeyspeak for the playoffs – all would be well.
Never happened. The lackluster, inconsistent play continued right through the playoffs. There were moments – game 7 of the first round against Buffalo and game 2 in the second round against Boston – when the dominating team that the Flyers had been for most of the season reappeared. Alas, that team vanished in the next game. The result: an overly taxing first round and being swept in round two.
So what needs to be done?
The team has to figure out just why many of the players don't seem to hate losing. Sure they all like to win, but – with the exception of veterans like Kimmo Timonen, Danny Briere, Blair Betts and Chris Pronger – the key guys like Jeff Carter and Richards always seem to be accepting of defeat and not angry enough that they just lost.
Losing sucks, and I'm sure these guys know it, but that's not the impression they give.
One solution, not likely to happen but not without precedent, would be to recast the official team leadership. If Richards would step down as captain, Chris Pronger, a proven force on and off the ice, could take the role.
Richards is a good guy and leads by example on the ice. Dynamic he's not. In 2002 Eric Desjardins relinquished the captaincy to Keith Primeau. It worked well, and Desjardins remained one of the team's most respected leaders.
If Richards were to give up his jersey "C," it would send the message that his teammates will be held responsible for their play by someone who has the experience, the respect and the personality not to put up with any nonsense.
Pronger, unlike Carter, isn't burdened by long-term personal and social relationships with many of the players, a reality that must make it hard for the current captain to tell his teammates to get their acts together.
Jeff Carter should also withdraw as an alternate captain and let the team give his "A" to Danny Briere.
There will be changes over the summer. Some of this year's group will be gone. New faces will become familiar. If the Philadelphia Flyers are really going to live up to their potential, a potential that is clear and unquestioned, they have to address the questions about goaltending and attitude.
Isn't it funny that these are the questions that arise each year after the Flyers don't quite make it … again? No, it's not funny. It's sad, frustrating and relatively easy to fix if they have the will to do it.

JACKSON COUNTY - The Ravenswood Red Devils moved to (2-0) tonight with a 41-12 shake down of Roane County at Flinn Field. Quarterback Heath Burgess did it all for the Devils as he scored two rushing touchdowns and two passing with one going to Rhys Jelich and another to Isaac Crow.
On the flipside of the county coin, the Ripley Vikings traveled to Winfield and enjoyed a 20-13 advantage at the half before being crop dusted for 36 second half points in a 49-20 setback.
Ripley's most exciting play was a 90-yard pass play from junior quarterback Trevor Tucker to senior wideout Cody Harris who slipped a tackle and raced to the endzone.
The Generals rolled up 529 yards of total offense while holding Ripley (0-3) scoreless in the second half to seal the victory.

Ksar el fida: It s situated at about 4 km on the north east of Rissani its the most important and at same time the most ancient of the alaouite ksars in the Tafilalet however. Its worth mentioning that the genesis of the ksar dates back to the reign of king moulay Ismail to house his son king moulay abdellah, but the ksar was reduced to rubbles and ruined except for the high outside walls and the tours which were built of muddy earth. The ksar was rebuilt under the reign of moulay abd al rahman but this time at about eight hundred metters at south east of the first site. Ever since the ksar had preponderant roles in directing the policy of region and at times its served As residential palace of the Khalifa or Caid of the Tafilalet and this up to 1965.

There are some hotels in Rissani, but many are not in good sleeping condition. The best place to spend the night at is the desert (Sahara) - it's about 30 km (30 min by car).
Stay Safe
Like many small towns in this region, a major source of income are tourists. Many tourists come to Rissani with the intention of spending a night or more in the pre-Saharan Desert. That being said, you will have to contend with some fairly aggressive touts that pounce upon tourists the moment the bus stops. This is particularly noticable when arriving by CTM because you are dropped off in the medina rather than the bus station. If you don't want to be hassled from the moment you arrive, it would be a wise decision to find a reputable tour operator prior to arriving in Rissani. Explain to them exactly when you will be arriving and try to arrange for them to meet you at the bus. This will hopefully alleviate much of the hassling. However if you would prefer to do things the old-fashioned way (and admittedly more exciting and adventurous) and simply show up, you can usually rid yourself of the touts by issuing a polite (but firm) "La, shokran" to them. Remember that no one is going to harm you, so keep smiling and stay relaxed. And enjoy your amazing trip into the Sahara!!

By Matthew Heimer
Much to the chagrin of network TV programmers, tonight's prime-time debate between President Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won't be the last. But since next Monday's debate in Boca Raton will focus on foreign policy, tonight's affair might offer voters their final opportunity to watch the two rivals go head-to-head on issues related to retirement — especially their conflicting views on Medicare.
Since the first debate, in which Romney looked sharp and detail-oriented and the president often looked like a refugee from Madame Tussauds, most national polls have shown Romney erasing some or all of the early-fall lead Obama had with voters. Medicare is one of the few topics on which the president still holds a lead (although, that too, has narrowed — from 14 points to 9, for example, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll this week).
Many of the president's supporters have urged him to seize opportunities to paint Romney as a radical conservative, and Medicare might afford him a chance to do that. Given the opportunity, he's likely to raise the argument that the Romney campaign's Medicare "premium support" reform plan amounts to a voucher system, in which future seniors — those who are under 55 today — will receive a not-big-enough subsidy and be forced to buy insurance on the private market. That attack, in turn, could afford Romney another opportunity to advance an argument that appeared to work for him two weeks ago — namely, that Obama's health-care reforms are already set to impose $716 billion in cuts in Medicare benefits on today's seniors.
Granted, it's no sure thing that the candidates will even get a chance to talk about Medicare. Tonight's debate, in Hempstead, N.Y., uses a town hall format, focusing on questions from local voters, selected by the Gallup polling group, who are either undecided or open to changing their minds. Undecided voters tend to skew young — by one estimate, four in 10 are age 34 or younger — so older voters may not be especially well-represented tonight. For a broader overview of what to expect tonight, see this overview from MarketWatch's Robert Schroeder.

The Boston Architectural College is pleased to announce that the BAC Master of Interior Design is listed at number six, within the top ten ranked programs.
DesignIntelligence annually publishes America's Best Architecture & Design Schools.
"Our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and governance can be proud of this recognition," states President Ted Landsmark. "Educators must be innovative to better prepare for the future. The Boston Architectural College's practice-based education prepares our graduates to meet the rapidly changing needs of practice and public service, and this DesignIntelligence recognition is one measure of how our graduates are being welcomed into the professions. Our School of Interior Design continues to move to incorporate evidence-based design, space planning, health care, and accessibility in addition to our strong sustainability focus within our interiors curricula."
For the school rankings, 381 private practice firms and other organizations that hire architects, landscape architects, interior designers, or industrial designers participated in the research. Four individual surveys are used to collect data in each of the practice areas: architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, industrial design. The question for these rankings is: "From your hiring experience in the past five years, which schools are best preparing students for success in the architecture/landscape architecture/interior design/industrial design profession?" Participating firms complete surveys for only those practice areas in which they have direct experience. In addition, students, deans, and chairs of academic programs are surveyed. This methodology presents a rich weave of information on design programs.
The annual rankings are compiled from surveys conducted and analyzed by The Greenway Group. The rankings provide feedback on where quality education is being delivered, valued, and communicated. The survey methodology is transparent, and the research participants are all listed in the guide, which is available at di.net

New and improved FILIPINO eSCRIBBLES!
It's official: starting today, my age is no longer included in the calendar…
Anyways, welcome to the and FILIPINO eSCRIBBLES!
Yehey! (clap! clap! clap! clap!)
So, as a shameless birthday gift to my fabulous self, I have decided to change the theme of my blog. The WordPress theme/design that you now see is called Liquorice. True to the themes' stated deliverables, Liquorice waxes a bit "poetical" with its light "sand-brown" mood with a motiff, thus making the text easy to read. The pictures appear bigger and the captions are no longer stressed. Even quoted texts appear to have a life of their own.
But wait! There's more!
Not only have I changed the design of this blog. I also had the header personalized!
The header is designed by blogger and fellow hispanista David Salcedo Sánchez of Ciudad de Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental.
Due to a sorry lack of technological know-how, I initially commissioned my best friend Arnaldo Arnáiz of WITH ONE'S PAST to make one for me. For those of you who may not know yet, Arnaldo was the one who designed the banner of my other blog, ALAS FILIPINAS, more than three years ago. He did make a header for FILIPINO eSCRIBBLES. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to finish it due to his busy schedule. And since I made today —my thirty-second birthday and this blog's second anniversary— as my self-imposed schedule (told ya: I'm so finicky with special dates), I thought it best to seek David's assistance whose header in his own blog FILIPINAS ¡QUÉ HERMOSA ERES! is as impressive and creative as it can be!
The images that David used for this blog's header are a combination of Spanish and indigenous images. Truth be told, these icons are just perfect for my blog's chosen theme: Philippine Identity and History (or —like what I always brag— ). The mixture of Spanish and indigenous cultures is what makes up our identity as Filipinos.
David is but one of a handful of young Filipinos today who had take off the blindfold of ignorance. This is what he has to say regarding our national identity:
Indigenous Culture + Spanish Culture = Hispanic
In the case of our country:
Malay/Indigenous Culture + Spanish Culture = Hispanic Filipino/Filipino Culture
La mano = The hand
PagLAMANOhay = to shake hands with
In Latin America:
Aztec, Mayan, Incan, Moche, Taino, Arawak etc. (Indigenous Culture) + Spanish Culture = Hispanic
Mexicans are as hispanic as Venezuelans, Argentines, Puerto Ricans, Ecuadorians, Peruvians, Guatemalans, Cubans etc. Hispanic as Filipinos? Yes! =p
Although Hispanicity was also derived from something Spanish, it's a different identity.
So with whom you share culture & history with?
Being mestizo is not something bound with genes alone. Our country is mestizo. Our culture and history is mestizo. It's not only in our languages but it's almost everywhere! Why hate that part? It made it whole after all.
It's really that simple. At di dapat icagalit ni icahiyâ ang parteng yaón ng ating nacaraán. 🙂
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you (conti lang namán cayó, eh, ¡hehehe!) who regularly visit this humble site of mine. I want all of you to know that I do read all of your comments, and sorry if I'm unable to answer all of them; I'm a second-rate, trying-hard married historian with four kids to feed and raise, thus my day usually ends with drained and saturated energy. But I am hoping to one day buy my whole time from capitalist enslavement in order for me to write full-time.
My apologies, too, if sometimes I sound too cranky and proud on some of my replies. I'm trying my best to avoid it. It is unnecessary and unfriendly, I know.
Once more, thank you for the visits, the comments, and the criticisms. May God bless us all!

For years now I do have this blank label dub LP in my collection. I found it in a plain white sleeve, so I don`t have any information. Up till now I never found out the title of this release. Who is able to help me out here.
This is what I got:
Blank label / quality of label and vinyl look like a UK pressing / I estimate it somewhere mid eighties.
matrix; GGLP 0023 A - 1 / GGLP 0023 B - 1
A side has 5 tracks - B side ; 4 tracks
I am convinced this release is a Linval Thompson production. I do hear some dub version with "six babylon" lyrics. The voice sound like Linval Thompson. The other version I recognize is the dub of "you gonna be sorry" from Freddie McKay. This is the version to his vocal track that came out on the "Tribal inna yard" LP, on the Move Label (MVLP6). This album is produced by Linval Thompson and Delroy Wright. So it could also be a Delroy Wright related album??
Well: Help me out here.
Best regards,
JA Son

Terminator 2 Chase Recreated in Grand Theft Auto V
Los Santos, the home city of Grand Theft Auto V, isn't an exact copy of Los Angeles, but it's pretty close. Close enough for YouTube user John Chapman and his friends to faithfully recreate a classic movie scene set in the City of Angels. Check out the famous truck chase scene from 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day,' recreated in Grand Theft Auto V.
In what had to be a herculean effort, Chapman and co. use multiple capture boxes to reenact every moment of the five-minute scene, and edit them together into an impressively accurate recreation of one of the most memorable action sequences from T2. They don't hit every mark (red truck instead of black, different camera angles, etc.), but a quick comparison with the actual scene shows that they nail all the major spots. The shot of the semi-truck plowing through the overpass wall is especially effective, as is the bike-to-bike jump, which was pulled off with clever editing.
This is the first movie scene recreation from John Chapman, but we're hoping there are plenty more coming soon. There are plenty of classic action films set in LA, like 'Boyz n the Hood,' 'The Italian Job,' 'To Live and Die in LA' and 'Beverly Hills Cop,' that are begging to be re-shot in San Andreas.

Research Overview
The School's faculty, staff and students engage in research for the discovery and dissemination of knowledge for the stewardship of natural and managed environments and the sustainable use of their products and services. In support of its vision to provide world-class, internationally recognized knowledge and leadership for environmental and natural resource issues, the School's research programs include funded research grants by individual faculty, interdisciplinary programs drawing on expertise from other UW academic units, and centers working on regional natural resources and environmental issues. The School also collaborates with national and international research initiatives, consortiums and programs, including:
- Center for Advanced Forestry Systems
- Climate Wizard
- Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (CORRIM)
- National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)
- U.S. Forest Service Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team
The School is home to the Institute of Forest Resources (IFR), which was created by the Washington State Legislature in 1947 (originally as the Institute of Forest Products). In 2011 the legislature directed IFR to organize itself to pursue coordinated interdisciplinary research and outreach, covering forestry issues along with emerging issues related to forest and environmental sciences, and to improve the understanding of complex forestry and related issues for stakeholders, policymakers and other interested parties—including the public.
The School is also home to the University of Washington Analytical Service Center, an independent chemical analysis center for research and education related to environment, forest, ecology and agriculture. The advanced instruments at the center are capable of analyzing soil, plant and aqueous samples for physical, biological and chemical properties.
Research at the School is supported by federal, state and local government, as well as private sources. See funded research projects for abstracts of currently funded grants in the School's research interest groups.
See the UW Libraries ResearchWorks Archive - SEFS Collections for various papers, publications and reports.
See the UW Libraries ResearchWorks Archive - Forestry Dissertations and Theses for archived dissertations and theses.

Terms of the deal were not released by the club, but multiple media outlets reported the contract was worth $30 million, making Pavelski and Logan Couture the Sharks' two-highest paid players at $6 million per season starting in 2014-15. Couture agreed to a five-year extension worth $6 million per season in June.
The new contract will begin after the Pavelski's current deal expires on July 1, 2014. He will make $4 million for the 2013-14 season.
"Joe has been an important part of our success over the last several years and we are excited to have him with our club for the next six seasons," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement.
Last season, Pavelski finished tied for third on the team with 31 points, including 16 goals, in 48 regular season games. He also led the Sharks with 12 points in 11 playoff games as San Jose advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
Pavelski, 29, has 336 points, a +41 rating and 183 penalty minutes in 479 career NHL games with San Jose.
In 74 career Stanley Cup Playoff games, he has compiled 50 points (24 goals, 26 assists) and 30 penalty minutes. In franchise playoff history Pavelski currently ranks second in goals (24) and game-winning goals (7), third in points (50), fifth in assists (26), fourth in games played (74) and tied for first in overtime goals (3).

JREF's 'Pigasus Awards' are a Dubious Honor for Dubious Claims
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.—The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) promotes critical thinking through grants for outstanding educators, scholarships to inspire skeptical students, and annual conferences showcasing the best of skeptical thought—but every April Fools Day, the organization honors the five worst offenders who are intentionally or unintentionally pulling the wool over the public's eyes.
Since 1997, the JREF's annual Pigasus Awards have been bestowed on the most deserving charlatans, swindlers, psychics, pseudo-scientists, and faith healers—and on their credulous enablers, too. The awards are named for both the mythical flying horse Pegasus of Greek mythology and the highly improbable flying pig of popular cliche.
These are this year's "winners."
The Scientist Pigasus Award goes to NASA Engineer Richard B. Hoover, who recently announced for the third time in 14 years that he had found evidence of microscopic life in meteorites. Along with the crackpot Journal of Cosmology—a now-defunct publication founded in 2009 to publish articles advancing the scientifically unsupported idea that life began before the first stars formed and was spread throughout the early universe on meteors—Hoover pitched his warmed-over ideas to Fox News, an outlet not known for their attention to facts. Predictably, Fox News ran with the story, convincing many people that NASA had discovered extraterrestrial life.
The Funder Pigasus Award goes to CVS/pharmacy, for their work to support the manufacturers of scam "homeopathic" medications who sell up to $870 million a year in quack remedies to U.S. consumers. Homeopathic remedies contain none of the active ingredient they claim, and homeopathy has been shown to be useless in randomized clinical trials. CVS/pharmacy sells these quack products in thousands of stores across the U.S., right alongside real medicine, with no warning to consumers. Instead of giving their customers the facts about homeopathy, CVS/pharmacy executives are cashing in themselves by offering their own store-brand of the popular homeopathic product oscillococcinum. Oscillococcinum is made by grinding up the liver of a duck, putting none of it onto tiny sugar pills—that's right, none of it—and then advertising the plain sugar pills as an effective treatment for flu symptoms.
The Media Pigasus Award goes to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has done such a disservice to his TV viewers by promoting quack medical practices that he is now the first person to win a Pigasus two years in a row. Dr. Oz is a Harvard-educated cardiac physician who, through his syndicated TV show, has promoted faith healing, "energy medicine," and other quack theories that have no scientific basis. Oz has appeared on ABC News to give legitimacy to the claims of Brazilian faith healer "John of God," who uses old carnival tricks to take money from the seriously ill. He's hosted Ayurvedic guru Yogi Cameron on his show to promote nonsense "tongue examination" as a way of diagnosing health problems. This year, he really went off the deep end. In March 2011, Dr. Oz endorsed "psychic" huckster and past Pigasus winner John Edward, who pretends to talk to dead people. Oz even suggested that bereaved families should visit psychic mediums to receive (faked) messages from their dead relatives as a form of grief counseling.
The Performer Pigasus Award—this year for "Best Comeback"—goes to televangelist Peter Popoff. Popoff made millions in the 1980s by pretending to heal the sick and receive information about audience members directly from god. He went bankrupt in 1987 after JREF founder James Randi exposed him for using a secret earpiece to receive information about audience members from his wife. Now he's back to prey on victims of the economic recession. In paid infomercials on BET, Popoff offers "supernatural debt relief" in exchange for offerings of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This business is so lucrative that according to recent IRS documents, Popoff took in $23.5 million and paid himself and his immediate family more than $1 million in one year alone.
The Refusal to Face Reality Award goes to Andrew Wakefield, the researcher who launched the modern anti-vaccine panic with unfounded statements linking the MMR vaccine with autism that were not borne out by any research, even his own. In 2010, The Lancet retracted his paper on the MMR vaccine, and this year the British medical journal BMJ called Wakefield's paper an outright fraud, finding "clear evidence of falsification of data" and that "he sought to exploit the ensuing MMR scare for financial gain," taking more than $674,000 from lawyers who intended to sue vaccine manufacturers. Yet Wakefield continues to ask the public to believe he is the victim. In a recent article in NaturalNews, Wakefield called the American Academy of Pediatrics and The Lancet "instruments of a state that I don't really want to be associated with."

The James Randi Educational Foundation exposes charlatans and helps people defend themselves from paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. The JREF offers a still-unclaimed million-dollar reward for anyone who can produce evidence of paranormal abilities under controlled conditions. Through scholarships, workshops, and innovative resources for educators, the JREF works to inspire this investigative spirit in a new generation of critical thinkers. | www.randi.org

If retail is bumming you out, busting your balls, or generally pissing you off, I'd say try Etailers or just find a new hobby. SW toys are supposed to be fun (as are all toys). I think people take them too seriously. When you're stressing this much over plastic and carboard, it may be time to try something new.
I think it's funny that you see being treated poorly at a Target by employees "stressing over plastic and cardboard". It makes no sense to hold something in the store room and not sell it to a consumer. Target employees shouldn't lump any consumer in any category we are there to spend money in the store and it shouldn't matter if we're there to buy plastic men or toilet paper.
How often are exclusives ever even listed IN Sales ads? Seriously?Shuttle last year maybe? The UBP's this year? None of the AT-RT packs, or the Redeco ARC were in the ad this week... I don't recall Order 66 sets EVER in a sales ad. I don't recall a battlepack advertised that wasn't a general release item... This is many years of collecting I'm running through my mind here, so maybe I'm mistaken, but usually the sales-ad promotional exclusives are VERY uncommon even, so the argument that "we want them there for the ad so we won't get them for you" doesn't hold up well to me either...
Ok, I just got back from two targets. One the low volume store had a end cap with the exclusives, suprise the high volume store didnt even have an end cap. Ok Pete what should we do in that case? If the street date was dec 2nd..hmmmm. If Target dosent want my $$$ for Star Wars, then they are not getting my $$$$ for Clothes,Video game, food, or anything else they sell in their dam stores! I have to also add this same store has stocked action figures maybe 3 times since mid summer!
Never underestimate X-Mas shopping moms!

In 2011, Fusion-io disrupted the enterprise storage industry with their high-performance PCIe flash memory cards. EMC responded this week announcing its own VFCache product. Suddenly there is a hotly contested race and it's up to the rest of the industry to respond.
I love going fast on bikes and skis, but fast is a relative thing. There are always people who will go a lot faster than me, but I don't need to keep up with them to be happy. The same is true for driving – I drive a 4-cylinder Ford Fusion because I love Sync and I don't care if it's not fast.
The "good enough for me" principle works for storage too. Most companies have a lot of data that doesn't need high performance I/O. Server flash products address the hottest data a company has, but what about all the "cool" or "cold" data that is infrequently or never accessed? It typically occupies storage systems that were built to compete based on performance. Even the lowest-performing tiers of most enterprise storage systems significantly over-serve customers by providing service levels far beyond what is needed. At some point another industry disruption will occur as new products emerge that significantly reduce the cost of storing cool data.
A difficult problem for storage administrators is that there is no way to separate cool data that will be accessed again in the future from cold data that will never be accessed again. One approach is to archive cool data to tape, but the delays and difficulties in locating and restoring cool data when it reheats are not all that comforting. Another approach is to send cool data to an online cloud storage tier provided by enterprise vendors such as Microsoft, Amazon, Rackspace, AT&T, and HP. Cool data in the cloud that reheats is transparently moved back to a local, warmer tier until it cools off again. Data stored in a cloud tier does not require the power, cooling and footprint overhead of data stored in the corporate data center storage and it also reduces the cost and impact of storage system end-of-life events.
But cloud storage tiers are not the whole answer. Customers will want to ensure that cool/cold data doesn't consume any unnecessary storage capacity. Cloud storage products that incorporate the various forms of data reduction technologies such as thin provisioning, deduplication and compression will provide the "tightest" fit for this data by running at capacity utilizations that are unheard of with primary enterprise storage today. In addition to saving customers on storage costs, these products will also increase the return on investment by saving customers on bandwidth and transaction costs that some cloud service providers charge. Keeping a tight grip on storage expenses will become synonymous with using the tightest, most efficient cloud-integrated storage systems.

Cherry Cracking (Partiduras en Cerezas)
We are delighted to present new information on cherry cracking. This has been a constant challenge for cherry growers around the world and has been the subject of research ever since cherries were produced commercially. Dr. José Antonio Yuri (Director Centro de Pomáceas, Universidad de Talca) in Chile has allowed us to present his research results on this site. We hope you find his work on calcium chloride, brix (soluble solids), and timing on different varieties helpful. Note also the bibliography at the end. This article is available only in Spanish.
Antioxidant Use in Apple and Pear Storage
Confused about the regulatory status of antioxidants in Europe? Argentinean researcher Gabriela Calvo compiled the results of an international survey regarding the use of DPA, ethoxyquin and 1-MCP to control scald on apples and pears. With responses from 47 people in 14 countries, this paper is an excellent resource for anyone intending to market fruit in Europe:
- Part 1 - Regulatory Situation
- Part 2 - Alternatives to Antioxidants
- Part 3 - Storage Scald and 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)
DPA update: The Northwest Horticultural Council of Washington State issued this report on DPA registration in Europe on December 27, 2010...Better news arrived last week regarding long-term approval of DPA (diphenylamine) for scald control on apples in the EU. Ireland's Pesticide Control Service has completed its review of the DPA resubmission for Europe. This review has been forwarded to the EU Commission and the European Food Safety Authority with a favorable opinion, supporting DPA's use in the EU along with proposing a higher MRL of 10 ppm (compared to the EU's current 5 ppm MRL). The new data further supports the position that there is no evidence that DPA use will result in the possible formation of nitrosamines during storage of the active substance or during processing of treated apples. While this development is cause for cautious optimism, we note that in 2008 Ireland also recommended continuing the EU MRL for DPA, but was overruled by the European Commission. Both Decco and Pace, DPA suppliers to our industry, supported the work of the DPA Data Consortium in developing new data for the Irish review.

Many genealogists will be heading to Cincinnati next week for the National Genealogical Society's annual conference. Having grown up in the Cincinnati suburbs, I thought I would share a few of my favorite things in the Cincinnati area.
Cincinnati Chili
Make sure to try some spectacular Cincinnati style chili while in town. Who cannot love something topped with a ton of cheese? Plus you have to want something that uses chocolate as a spice. My mom keeps me stocked up on cans on Skyline Chili.
Grater's Ice Cream
Grater's ice cream made 2 gallons at a time with a French pot process. Make sure you get a flavor with "chocolate chips." They pour melted chocolate into the ice cream while it's churning and it makes such wonderful, giant chunks of chocolate. I love black raspberry chip (and most of the other flavors). If you can't make it to Cincinnati, they will ship you pints or you might find it in your local store.
Jungle Jim's
With a tag line like "A Foodie's Paradise," Jungle Jim's International Market goes far beyond a normal grocery store. Jungle Jim's is a must stop on every visit to Cincinnati for me. I have to stock up on all my favorite crazy foods. It is definitely worth the trip just to experience it once.
Spring Grove Cemetery
Spring Grove Cemetery is a beautiful, old, park-like cemetery in Cincinnati. The first internment was in 1845 and contains over 150 years of Cincinnati history. Take a drive or walk through the cemetery and experience some of the great monuments. And if you have relatives buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, they have their records online. (I just wish more of my "rotating Cincinnati ancestors" had ended up there.)
I can't wait to visit my grandma while I'm in town. But she would probably think it was odd to have a bunch of genealogists show up at her house. She already thinks I'm weird enough for wanting to hang out in cemeteries.
I'm looking forward to seeing lots of friends again and meeting new ones. I'll be in charge of the Indiana Genealogical Society's booth. So if you can't find me anywhere else, check there.

Favorite Things in Cincinnati
2 comments:
Tina, Thanks for this great list. I had my first black raspberry chocolate chip Graeter's ice cream when I was in Cincy back in December...it's the ONE thing I absolutely will not miss! (My Wersel family lived not far from there in Hyde Park from its inception). Spring Grove Cemetery is not only a cemetery but an arboretum as well. I have lots of family there and can't wait to get back. Looking forward to see you at NGS2012!ReplyDelete
Is Grater's located withing walking distance of the hotel? What are your favorites at Jungle Jim's. I love a good food store. See you there.ReplyDelete

Okay, another technicality here. Five divisions have been clinched, not six, Andy.
Here are the tiebreaking procedures for those that care:
I think Indy would not make the playoffs if it loses out, Pittsburgh wins out, Cincinatti beats Baltimore, due to tiebreaker #5, strength of victory for both Steelers and Bengals. But I haven't figured that out.
Quite remarkable that two rookie QB's, selected one and two in the draft, have lifted their respective woeful teams into playoff contention in their first season.
I hope the 'Skins win at Philly. I mean, obviously, doh! But also because a rivalry that's been limp for too long will roar into life at FedEx on the regular season's final weekend. Holy cow will that place be jumping!

Rara Lake Trekking ( National Park )
Rara Lake ( 2980 is the focal point Rara National Park and a god destination for a western Nepal Trek. the route is well off the beaten track and affords glimpses of cultures and scenery very different from those in the rest of Nepal.Rara is a clear ,high and juniper forest and snow capped Himalayan peaks. In the winter there is often snow on the ridge surrendering the Lake. Expect for the the army personnel assigned to the park,nobody lives at the lake because the government resettled all the people if the Rara and Chapra villages when the area was declared and national park.Rara Lake is a new trekking route as attractive trekking area of the Nepal. lots of u-down through forest isolated villages leads to high altitude lake surrounded by trees. a good choice if you are a birdwatcher or desire something close to a wideness,experience.

Jay McGrath necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 21 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Is there a "golf artist" inside you looking for an opportunity to shine? If so, I've got a "hole-in-one" opportunity for you! $125 prize for the winner!
We are running a contest for good artists to create some graphic banners that we would use for our websites and online advertisements.
My company has been manufacturing high-end commercial golf range mats for over 14 1/2 years. We display annually at the PGA Merchandise Show, and I was proud to introduce Country Club Elite T-turf golf mats at this year's world wide PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL where CC Elite received a vote for the number one product featured in the New Product Pavilion. CC Elite was also overwhelmingly well received at the National Golf Industry Show in Atlanta, GA.
We have many websites that provide information about golf mats, golf swing, and other golf-related topics, and are frequently features in online magazines. The banner you create, if selected, would be seen by an audience around the world.
To learn more about my company, visit my website at http://www.realfeelgolfmats.com.
All artwork should:
- Be submitted at 300dpi resolution and sized horizontally, since it will be used primarily for website banners and page headings.
- The image size should be approximately 1800px x 300px (or 6 in x 1 in). Although these images will be used for the World Wide Web, it's easier to receive them at the higher resolution (since it's easier to size down than size up).
- Images should be warm, inviting, and convey images of the joys of golfing.
- Contain photographs and photo objects in addition to text, and not drawings or "clipart" looking images
- Be compatible with the design aesthetic of realfeelgolfmats.com
- File formats accepted include:- Flattened Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files
- Tagged Image Format (.tif)
- High-resolution JPG (.jpg)
- If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Low resolution images swiped from other websites

Histones are a group of proteins that were discovered in 1884 by German doctor Albrecht Kossel. The regulatory function of histones, which are found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells, was not realized, however, until the 1990s. Prior to this time, the proteins were generally assumed to serve primarily as a type of packing for DNA to coil around. Yet, today histones are widely considered to be involved in gene regulation, the physical and functional alterations that occur in chromatin during cell division, and the transcription of DNA. Histones are strongly alkaline and rich in the amino acids lysine and arginine. Five major subtypes of histone proteins have been described.
Nuclear histone proteins were targeted in the culture of human osteosarcoma cells presented above with mouse anti-histone (pan) monoclonal antibodies, which were imaged with goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to the cyanine dye, Cy2 (labeling the nucleus). The specimen was simultaneously labeled for peroxisomes with Rhodamine Red conjugated to goat secondary antibodies that target rabbit anti-PMP 70 (peroxisomal membrane protein 70). Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin was utilized to counterstain the cytoskeletal F-actin network. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

hasrob needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 209 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
Owner and administrator for ATVers.us an ATV discussion forum.
Desired audience is my members, and competeing related websites. Logo will be used for website, internet advertising, t shirts and stickers.
I would like a logo for ATVers.us an ATV discussion forum. Keep it simple, unique, not busy or cluttered easily readable. Would like to see a group of maybe 3 people or more included in the logo as a gradient riding atvs or outside the main font or above. Original artwork preferred.
Font should be unique, thick, bold, gradients or designs inside of font o.k, letters stroked o.k but not necessary.
This will be placed on both a black website template and also a white template so may need two versions. About 4 inches long and 2 inches high so keep that in mind because downsizing some logos for web do not always look right. Will also be used to have t shirts made and also stickers so will need a high resolution final.
Colors, no more then 3 and prefer facebook blue, red and or dark red but please whatever you think looks best.
Please remember, keep it as simple, unique and clean as possible as they are always the better looking logos we see everyday.
Side note: You are also welcome to come up with any other creative ideas of your own that you think may make this logo really unique. I'd really love to see a nice variety of logos to rate and work with.
Thank you very much, some awesome work on this site you all are very talented. Will guarantee money if option is available.

Megadeth Bassist David Ellefson Donates Bass Strings for Charitable Bracelets
Megadeth's David Ellefson makes the most out of his bass strings on a nightly basis, but now he's found yet another use for them. The rocker is donating his used bass strings the Wear Your Music Organization so that they may turn them into bracelets.
The bassist stated that all proceeds from sales of the bracelets will go to the MusiCares organization. The bracelets will be hand crafted according to orders, with the buyer having the chance to personalize their bracelets based on size, if you add a clasp and whether or not they would like to make it precious by adding a sapphire, ruby or emerald. For further details and to place your order, click here.
Ellefson has been busy of late, working with Megadeth on finishing their forthcoming album, 'Super Collider.' The disc is expected to arrive this June.
The bassist will take part in a chat this afternoon (Feb. 24) for fans that are part of the Megadeth Cyber Army fan club. The chat will take place at 6PM ET / 3PM PT at this location.
