pretty kettle of fish
kettle of fish
Any given situation or issue. Used with specific modifiers depending on the context, especially "fine" or "pretty" for something difficult or awkward, and "different" or "another" for something dissimilar. Well, that's a pretty kettle of fish. I thought I paid the credit card bill, but it turns out that I missed the due date by a week. I know you think you're ready for parenthood just because you take care of two dogs, but raising a baby is a completely different kettle of fish.

A difficult or awkward situation; a mess. Primarily heard in US. Well, that's a pretty kettle of fish. I thought I paid the credit card bill, but it turns out that I missed the due date by a week.

1. Also, a fine or pretty kettle of fish . An unpleasant or messy predicament, as in They haven't spoken in years, and they're assigned to adjoining seats-that's a fine kettle of fish . This term alludes to the Scottish riverside picnic called kettle of fish, where freshly caught salmon were boiled and eaten out of hand. [Early 1700s]
2. a different or another kettle of fish . A very different matter or issue, not necessarily a bad one. For example, They're paying for the meal? That's a different kettle of fish. [First half of 1900s]

a fine kettle of fishBRITISH, OLD-FASHIONED
If you describe a situation as a pretty kettle of fish or a fine kettle of fish, you mean that it is difficult or unpleasant. Well, this is a pretty kettle of fish, as Queen Mary said. Note: `Kettle' in these expressions may come from `kiddle'. Kiddles were baskets or nets which were laid in streams and rivers to catch fish. Alternatively, `kettle' may refer to a fish kettle, which is a long narrow saucepan that is used for cooking fish.
a pretty (or fine) kettle of fishan awkward state of affairs. informal
In late 18th-century Scotland, a kettle of fish was a large saucepan of fish, typically freshly caught salmon, cooked at Scottish picnics, and the term was also applied to the picnic itself. By the mid 18th century, the novelist Henry Fielding was using the phrase to mean 'a muddle'.
pretty kettle of fish
Irritating or embarrassing situation. The Scottish tradition of community fish-boil dinners often degenerated in brawls, to the extent that people began to refer to the events by this sarcastic phrase. Fish-boils may have evaporated, but the expression and the sarcasm haven't.

Now -- as the first act from Wyclef Jean's J Records imprint, Yclef -- the duo's Sincere (aka David M The Product G&B splashed into public consciousness on Santana's 2000 hit single "Maria Maria." Now -- as the first act from Wyclef Jean's J Records imprint, Yclef -- the duo's Sincere (aka David Mcrae) and Money Harm (aka Marvin Moore-Hough) plan to preach a different message to the masses with its June 5 album debut "The Product Ghetto & Blues.""G&B stands for 'ghetto and blues,'" Sincere says. "We're the product of the environment: two brothers caught up in a society where there is CPST --corruption, poverty, struggle, and triumph."The pair, who teamed up at the age of 13, met Jean by sheer coincidence. Sincere was trying to contact a friend, producer Al West, who was working at Sony Studios. West wasn't there, but Pras answered the phone. "We ran six blocks in the cold to meet him," says Sincere of Jean's Fugees bandmate. "We had on hoods and ski masks when we met him, so he thought we were going to rap. Then we started singing." Pras then introduced them to Jean.That meeting quickly led to a career for the Long Island, N.Y., natives. "Two weeks later, we're in San Francisco writing 'Maria Maria' with Jean and [Carlos] Santana," Sincere says. "We didn't even know who Santana was at the time."Santana returns the favor with "Dirty Dancing," the album's second single. The set's other collaborators include West, Lil' Kim, Teddy Riley, and Jerry Wonder.Lead single "Cluck Cluck," which features Jean, also doubles as the lead single from J's upcoming "Dr. Dolittle 2" soundtrack."["Cluck Cluck"] doesn't mean you're a chicken head," says Sincere. "It means being intimate with someone."Although the group had breakout success with "Maria Maria," J executives know that it will take more than that to have a successful project. "Our plan is to reintroduce them to the public as a group they're familiar with," says Ron Gillyard, senior VP of black music for J. "We want people to see their personalities. They're two focused, driven, and extremely talented young men who sound as good in person as they do on record."Sincere says he and Money Harm aren't worried about being the label's debut act. "There's no pressure," he notes. "We're ready to come out and explode. Mark my words, G&B will be everywhere." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

A game we sometimes used to play when the boys were younger would be to roll a single die and whatever the number turned up that was how many items you had to pick up. That is a good quick way to get the whole family cleaning lounge rooms, but I digress.
I've had to show them very individually what is expected. I've had to model it a lot. I've had to explain it a lot too. The good part to this is that it is only one little lesson at a time. So slow and steady wins the race on the teaching front.
Charlotte isn't required to do anything in her room, yet. I have seen and encouraged her to put toys away into the tubs after use though.
So yep, that's how the girls room is kept clean.
The teenage boys are a little different. Not totally messy, but yeah, not really clean either. They are HUGE assets in my home. More on that in another post though.
It has taken me a long time to finally get to where we are. LOL Most of the work has been on myself. How I saw the picture, what my goals were, how I was going to get it done. As a mother, it's my place to GUIDE the home. Not to be the MAID of the home. So it took me a while to come to that revelation and to really start living toward that end. About 8 years actually. I can still remember starting the boys up on dishes that many years ago.
Do your children do chores? Got any tips that you can share about keeping children's bedrooms clean? I'd love to hear from you.
Today I am going to link up with:
Thanks for visiting.

Could one run gdal on android devices to perform some GIS operation, like viewshed, contours, etc?
I think to try it with Kivy. There is python for Android project, there are repices for many python libraries but not gdal. I will search how to create recipes for gdal. Then it can be possible to use gdal for Android :)
any findings? I would like to use GDAL in android through kivy as well. – Tom Grundy Jan 4 '19 at 14:06
I gave up Kivy, because i think it is not stable enough. I think to use QGIS's GDAL library for Android using Qt/QML. But it is just an idea, I try to learn c++ in order to use GDAL c++ libraries. – Edip Ahmet Mar 1 '19 at 14:37

Day 230
NKM Adventure Day 7
With yesterday's bicycle debacle, we decided that we would have to revise today's goals. Craig and I decided that we would walk to the bottom of the meseta, set up camp, and attempt to walk to the top and back. There was a campsite a few hours away on top, but there would be no way we could walk there after walking 35 more K's. Candido would leave after us and catch up on his bike.
The first hour of our walk was easy, but then we entered the savanna. Without the protection of the jungle canopy, the weather instantly became brutal. It was a tough few hours, but eventually we made it back to the jungle.
Later, Candido caught up with us and we went fishing by the river. Craig liked to brag about his mad fishing skillz, but Candido probably caught five fish before Craig reeled in his first one. After thirty minutes, we had enough fish for lunch and dinner.
The rest of the path for the day was impassible on a bicycle, so we walked the rest of the way to the campsite. When we got there, we saw the same tour group that we had seen on the way into the park. They were on their way out, and seemed to be a bit jealous that we saw a puma. One of the advantages of walking versus driving, I guess. They packed up and headed back down, and we set up our camp in their place.
After a short rest, Craig and I walked to the top of the 600 meter meseta. The view at the top was great. I could see the jungle for what seemed like hundreds of kilometers. Going to the top really gave us a perspective of the remoteness of the location. Not one human settlement was visible from any direction.
Finally we walked back down to the campsite where we had boiled fish and pasta for dinner. The campsite was about 100 K's from where the bus dropped us off, but we were only halfway done. The next three days will be spent tracing our path back to that same spot.

"We do not assist Facebook in its data collection regime through use of Facebook social Like buttons or by offering Facebook logins."
I imagine this refers to share links of any sort.
I am working on my own website, just starting out. And I thought to myself – should I add social networking stuff to my future blog, resources, and other pages. I decided not to, because if you are using things like that it can negatively impact your business. On the other hand, these can help get you noticed. Anyway, will think how to create my sales funnel the other way.
Great post by the way!

For a student just coming out of optometry school, the idea of trying to build a successful practice can be quite daunting to say the least.
With the demands of trying to provide quality patient care, competition for retail business from discount web sites, and the difficulty of trying to build a thriving business, there is every reason for a new practicing optometrist to feel completely overwhelmed. Including the aforementioned stresses, another area of focus for an optometry school graduate is one that has been largely ignored by most Eye Care Professionals until now.
Where is HIPAA Today?
HIPAA compliance can no longer be treated as an unregulated elective. Being well-versed in HIPAA compliance proves to be one more hat a graduating student must wear in order to stay afloat in today's market. Due to the Meaningful Use Program (MU) and the 2013 Final Omnibus Rule, HIPAA has stepped out of the shadows of the forgotten Privacy and Security Rules, and asserted itself into the limelight as a staple within the eye care industry for decades to come. The good news for graduates is, while building a new practice, they have the ability to create proactive HIPAA safeguards and immediately eliminate concerns surrounding Governmental HIPAA Audits and the potential for their patient's health information to be compromised.
What Can New Graduate ODs Do?
While most newly graduated Eye Care Professionals understand the importance of selecting an approved EHR product, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is currently capitalizing on the lack of knowledge surrounding all core measures within the MU program.
As part of the MU audit process which began in September of 2013, an increasing percentage of the $21.5B incentive funds doled out to covered entities is being recaptured every day.
Where Are People Failing HIPAA Audits?
Completely and easily avoidable, many failed audits center around Core Measure 15 in Stage 1 – Protecting Electronic Health Information. The 2013 Final Omnibus Rule also states the importance of being HIPAA Compliant in today's medical environment and highlights that the Government will start to randomly initiate HIPAA Compliance Audits for all Covered Entities, regardless of participation in the Meaningful Use Program or not.
What is a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis?
The goal of these new HIPAA Laws is to make sure a Covered Entity is in compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules established by the Office of Civil Rights in the early 2000's. To be HIPAA compliant, a provider must conduct or review a HIPAA security risk analysis. A HIPAA risk analysis is an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality of electronic health patient information held by the CE.
You must cover five areas of interest within a practice to focus on:
- Technical Safeguards
- Physical Safeguards
- Administrative Safeguards
- Policies and Procedures
- Organizational Requirements
There are no additional guidelines given by CMS or the Office of Civil Rights. There is no possible way to pass a CMS or OCR audit without proper documentation of your completed risk analysis. Unfortunately, for most doctors, this core measure has been overlooked or ignored. For the small minority of CE's who actually have attempted to conduct a risk analysis, it has not been completed thorough enough to the Government's liking. Hence, the reason why so many of the CE's who have been audited have failed and had to return the incentive funds received for that specific calendar year.
Do the Work Yourself -or- Outsource it?
The first decision a graduate has when it comes to HIPAA compliance is whether or not to outsource this type of service. Do they try to tackle the tasks of vetting the web for CMS/OCR guidelines and then conduct and document a thorough risk analysis on their own? Or do they go outside their organization to ensure compliance? Due to the lack of knowledge, assets, and time CMS/OCR is asking a participant to dedicate towards HIPAA compliance, working with a company who specializes in HIPAA compliance services is a must for any sized organization. Remember, when it comes to whom CMS/OCR decides they will audit, they are treating all participants equally. This means an independent physician is just as likely to be audited as a major hospital. Therefore, ensuring documentation is accessible and reliable in case of an audit, is prudent for everyone.
After graduating from optometry school, the will to succeed is high. Unfortunately for today's graduates, there are many detractors which can steer a new OD down a path of no return. By focusing on compliance in the early years of their practice, graduates can be assured HIPAA violations will not be one of them. By doing so, they will not only safeguard themselves from future audits, but more importantly, their patient health information will be secure – something nobody can put value on.

@anniespewak said in Poser startup error:
Hi there,
Contact Smith Micro customer support, they can help you out. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Be prepared to wait 2 days, then get a response asking you information you actually supplied in the original contact, respond, wait 2 days....
Sorry I love Poser but my contacts with support have been abysmal, they seem to assume you are an idiot and don't even seem to know anything about Poser other than the real basics.
If this is a known issue, there should be details on the FAQ if it isn't, well unless someone here can help you out...
First check that you have a file called poseraddon.py in the path C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 11\Runtime\Python\addons
You should also have 2 folders KinectCapture and PythonShell
PythonShell has 1 file init.py (formatter removed the double underscores pre and post init (see image below)
KinetCapture has several
its worth checking that everything is there.
For anniespewak and anyone else with this problem. I started having it a few days ago- after my Poser 2014 had been installed for quiet a while. I even went to the extreme measure of re-installing the program and still had the same issue. Found this forum and started checking. Everything was where it was supposed to be. So I got to wondering and looking and found a SECOND runtime file outside the Smith Micro folder that only had Python scripts- No Shell or kinetCapture files.
I deleted that folder and rebooted my comp. I then brought Poser up and did NOT get either error message.
I still don't know what caused the creation of that new folder, but at least I now know what to look for.
Me again. Did all the above, rebooted and the program was fine. Till the NEXT time I brought it up. Got the same error messages- and this time there was no second folder involved.
I get this error too. I was getting this same error when using PP2014. It did not/does not prevent me from using the program. I just close out the error window and go about my day.
That's what I do. But it's still aggravating when it didn't start till a few weeks ago. I'm leaning toward the conclusion that a windows 10 update is the cause- it's been known to happen.
@mdbruffy It was happening to me on W7 on my old computer. Same problem on new machine with W10.
@mdbruffy I actually get two errors. First error occurs when the library first loads and the second error occurs when I click on the library folder that has mats in it.
The moment Poser comes up, I get a mainWacros window telling me it couldn't find the DLL modules for KinectCapture or the addon PyhtonShell. Yet, the program works just fine.
@mdbruffy is that DLL for Kinect a standard thing for all users windows users? I bought an official Micro Soft physical copy of W10 on a memory stick.
I just went back and took another look. There are single DLL files in the Poser 11 folder. But inside the Runtime/Python/ DLLs folder there is nothing labeled KinectCaptaure or PythonShell. Could be something IS missing.
just did some exploring in the Poser 11 folder. They are there- they're in the addons folder. Go to Smith micro > Poser 11 > Runtime > Python and you'll see folders for both and they have the files inside.
@mdbruffy Is your main runtime in a non-standard place?
Everything except the actual library is in the program folder on my main drive. My library is so big, I have it on my second drive. Until now, everything's worked just fine- no problems at all. In fact, I've been very surprised by how problem free Poser 11's been- till now.

Came here hoping someone found a solution. Guess not... I have PP11 on Win10. It just suddenly started giving that message one day. Not sure what caused it, but the only "fix" I found is to reboot. Of course, it does it again later.
After a bit of debugging, I found out that they're failing when trying to call "import wx.py". For some odd reason, that doesn't throw an error. Instead, it silently fails and throws a useless error message elsewhere. Oddly enough, I can't even find the file. It's weird that it doesn't have any problems after a restart. Not sure where to go from here, but I hope that points someone in the right direction.
@semicharm All I can say is "welcome to the club". I did a complete uninstall and re-install and the mainwacros error window went away- for a short while. Then it came back all on it's own without anything help from me.

When a DLL does not load, the cause may be a missing dependency.
Using a free program: dependency walker, you can check if something is missing.
As easy as download, unzip, run.
For example, one of the DLL in Poser's runtime\python\addons\KinectCapture: KCBv2.dll is missing "kinect20.dll"
Nothing strange as I don't have kinect.
I hope this may helps you.
Will it also replace the file? I've tried to find a download link for kinect20.dll and all I can find is talk and other programs I don't know if I can trust.
Y-Phil last edited by Y-Phil
The purpose of this tool is (among other things) to determine if a dependency is missing.
It cannot replace something that's missing.
Furthermore, some DLL must be registered in win's registry database. That's the reason why that often come with a setup program.
I suspect that the missing DLL comes with Microsoft's kinect system.
That being said, on my poser, kinect is not enabled, so that the missing DLL is not a problem.
Is the kinect option checked in your poser?
Look at "Window > Addons > ..."
The only thing I have under addons is the Dyson importer- which I'm going to remove first chance I get.

Our little family spent a long weekend at Jekyll Island last weekend to celebrate K's little sister's wedding, and let me tell you it was so lovely! We left on Thursday and came home on Sunday, so it was a slight whirlwind of a trip, but it was great nonetheless.
Elliot loved splashing in the salt water pool and walking on the eerily lovely driftwood beaches. We explored the historic district on Saturday, and I fell completely in love with the big, sprawling trees covered in Spanish moss. We took our Stokke Scoot that the folks at Stokke so graciously gifted us, and it was perfect for strolling along the old streets. I love how E can see everything and still face me! I would really like to make a return trip in the fall or winter when the heat isn't quite so overbearing.
The wedding itself was perfection, and we are so incredibly happy for the newlyweds. Weddings make me all sentimental about the day I tied my life to that amazing man of mine. I love being a part of that day in other people's lives. I think it is so very romantic to promise eternal companionship, to say 'I will daily choose you above all others for the rest of my life.'
More pictures to come!

Of Course, Dick "Don't Trace Me" Cheney Is At The Bottom Of the Valerie Plame Crime
By Elaine Meinel Supkis
In the murky waters of the Administration lurks the big Kahuna, Dick Don't Trace My Doings Cheney. Yesterday, Libby, facing hard prison time, told prosecutors, "higher ups" ordered him to call reporters about outing a CIA undercover agent. There are only two higher-uppers in this case: Bush and Cheney. Arrest them all.
From the Washington Post:
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) said the new information about Libby's testimony exposes a possible hypocrisy within the Bush administration as it seeks to punish those who leak politically embarrassing information about secret CIA prisons and warrantless spying, but encourages leaks that aid the administration's political strategy.Now, all the crimes committed by multi-arrested career criminal Bush and his Mafia-style side kick, Cheney, are all very good reasons to impeach this pair and throw them in jail.
"These charges, if true, represent a new low in the already sordid case of partisan interests being placed above national security," Kennedy said in a statement. "The Vice President's vindictiveness in defending the misguided war in Iraq is obvious."
Do note, Secret Service, that I am calling for us to obey the laws of the land and arrest obvious criminals. You guys can do this, you know!
I will note that poor Kennedy can't call for this, yet. The media is still propping up Unser Führer so we have to wait until they, too, get tired of this carnival and escort the clowns and their elephant companions out of the Big Top. Still, this stunning revelation can't go unanswered. I supposed the media whores will all scream that God is Bush and Cheney's true leader so He is responsible and you can't arrest Him! And his second in command, Jesus, has already been executed so he can't be punished, either.
While we are arresting people, here is some more news about White House crimes against the American People. From the NYT:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Bush administration officials said they had been caught by surprise when they were told on Tuesday, Aug. 30, that a levee had broken, allowing floodwaters to engulf New Orleans.Of course they knew! I knew what was going on and I was sitting on a remote mountain more than a thousand miles away. I used this nifty thing called "the internet" and one site I visited during the hurricane was the official web page of the main newspaper in New Orleans! And the fine reporters there were posting stories minute by minute as things happened and since they were roaming about the city, they posted stories about things like...the dikes breaking.
Vincent Laforet/The New York Times
Investigators have found evidence that federal officials at the White House and elsewhere learned of the levee break in New Orleans earlier than was first suggested.
But Congressional investigators have now learned that an eyewitness account of the flooding from a federal emergency official reached the Homeland Security Department's headquarters starting at 9:27 p.m. the day before, and the White House itself at midnight.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency official, Marty Bahamonde, first heard of a major levee breach Monday morning. By late Monday afternoon, Mr. Bahamonde had hitched a ride on a Coast Guard helicopter over the breach at the 17th Street Canal to confirm the extensive flooding. He then telephoned his report to FEMA headquarters in Washington, which notified the Homeland Security Department.
"FYI from FEMA," said an e-mail message from the agency's public affairs staff describing the helicopter flight, sent Monday night at 9:27 to the chief of staff of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and recently unearthed by investigators. Conditions, the message said, "are far more serious than media reports are currently reflecting. Finding extensive flooding and more stranded people than they had thought — also a number of fires."
It was obvious from day one bad things were happening! We bloggers then started attacking Marie Antoinette Bush for goofing off. As people suffered and died, we went ballistic here on the net, screaming about conditions in New Orleans, tracking Bush, Cheney and Rice as this trio goofed off. We located Brownie and attacked him over and over and the ever mysterious, hidden Israeli, Chertoff, we savaged him too. Bush went to McCain's crappy birthday party and both he and McCain laughed and patted each other in a startlingly thoroughly Brokeback Mountain way and then off Bush trotted for more merriment in San Diego!
Condi was screamed at by an outraged shopper in Manhattan because Cinderella was shoe shopping and didn't even know what was going on. Talk about a repeat of 9/11.
Arrest them all. This is called "criminal neglect" and since babies died while under government supervision due to poor planning and indifference, I would say, why are we putting welfare mothers in prison for abusing children when Bush and Cheney and Rice can kill babies with impunity? Eh? Arrest them all. What will it take?
Yesterday, a terrified Bush tried to mislead us yet again with the hokey "shoe attack" story. Evidently, terrorists were going to use shoes to hijack jets. What were they, Condi Rice's evil step sisters? Wearing Prada shoes, intimidating pilots. "See, these cost more than a month's salary, kiss my toes!"? Well. I can see the pilots collapsing in horror and crawling away!
This information was gathered by torturing people captured in the Philippines and Pakistan. Bush pretends his spying on Quakers is part of capturing and torturing people. Hitler and Stalin operated on the same principles.
They should have been arrested in 1933. Hitler, like Bush, had a criminal past, too. Gads.
Arrest them all!

Lips curve up, skin crinkles around the eyes and there it is – a smile. The facial nerve coordinates the muscles behind this gleeful expression. Damage to this peripheral nerve can cause facial paralysis. Thankfully peripheral nerves usually heal with time. However people with neurofibromatosis type II (NFII) show slower and sometimes incomplete recovery from facial paralysis – a consequence of surgery to remove the facial tumours that characterise this disease. NFII is caused by mutations in the gene encoding merlin protein. Researchers therefore investigated whether merlin is important for repairing damaged peripheral nerves. In normal mice and mice lacking merlin in their peripheral nerves (pictured), damaged nerves (green) grew back and established contacts (red) with the appropriate muscles. However despite this, mice lacking merlin didn't regain full control of their muscles. For NFII patients, getting those smiles back after surgery may therefore be hampered by the presence of mutant merlin.

» vsphere_compute_cluster_vm_group
vsphere_compute_cluster_vm_group resource can be used to manage groups of
virtual machines in a cluster, either created by the
vsphere_compute_cluster resource or looked up
by the
vsphere_compute_cluster data source.
This resource mainly serves as an input to the
resources. See the individual resource documentation pages for more information.
NOTE: This resource requires vCenter and is not available on direct ESXi connections.
NOTE: vSphere DRS requires a vSphere Enterprise Plus license.
» Example Usage
The example below creates two virtual machines in a cluster using the
vsphere_virtual_machine resource, creating the
virtual machine in the cluster looked up by the
vsphere_compute_cluster data source. It
then creates a group from these two virtual machines.
data "vsphere_datacenter" "dc" {
name = "dc1"
data "vsphere_datastore" "datastore" {
name = "datastore1"
datacenter_id = "${data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id}"
data "vsphere_compute_cluster" "cluster" {
name = "cluster1"
datacenter_id = "${data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id}"
data "vsphere_network" "network" {
name = "network1"
datacenter_id = "${data.vsphere_datacenter.dc.id}"
resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "vm" {
count = 2
name = "terraform-test-${count.index}"
resource_pool_id = "${data.vsphere_compute_cluster.cluster.resource_pool_id}"
datastore_id = "${data.vsphere_datastore.datastore.id}"
num_cpus = 2
memory = 2048
guest_id = "other3xLinux64Guest"
network_interface {
network_id = "${data.vsphere_network.network.id}"
disk {
label = "disk0"
size = 20
resource "vsphere_compute_cluster_vm_group" "cluster_vm_group" {
name = "terraform-test-cluster-vm-group"
compute_cluster_id = "${data.vsphere_compute_cluster.cluster.id}"
virtual_machine_ids = ["${vsphere_virtual_machine.vm.*.id}"]
» Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
name- (Required) The name of the VM group. This must be unique in the cluster. Forces a new resource if changed.
compute_cluster_id- (Required) The managed object reference ID of the cluster to put the group in. Forces a new resource if changed.
virtual_machine_ids- (Required) The UUIDs of the virtual machines in this group.
NOTE: The namespace for cluster names on this resource (defined by the
name argument) is shared with the
resource. Make sure your names are unique across both resources.
» Attribute Reference
The only attribute this resource exports is the
id of the resource, which is
a combination of the managed object reference ID of the
cluster, and the name of the virtual machine group.
» Importing
An existing group can be imported into this resource by supplying both the path to the cluster, and the name of the VM group. If the name or cluster is not found, or if the group is of a different type, an error will be returned. An example is below:
terraform import vsphere_compute_cluster_vm_group.cluster_vm_group \
'{"compute_cluster_path": "/dc1/host/cluster1", \
"name": "terraform-test-cluster-vm-group"}'

By Josh Davis, Associate Editor
(July 12, 2018) At-Large Berlin Town Councilman Thom Gulyas on Monday filed paperwork to seek a second term in office.
Gulyas, 53, was born in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania and moved to the area in 1982.
He is the owner of Ace Printing & Mailing in Berlin, His mother, the late Louise Gulyas, was a four-term Worcester County Commissioner.
Running for a first term four years ago, he said, was because of "a sense of obligation and a sense of wanting to help my community."
"Everyone says, 'Well, your mom did it, so you should do it.' I've got really big shoes to fill if I try to go down that road," he said. "I was very proud of what she did. I hope I'm half as successful as she was.
"The main reason why I ran was because I love our community and I love the Town of Berlin, and I want to make sure it continues in the right direction," he added.
Despite his service, Gulyas called himself "the new guy" and said he was still learning the job. He credited Berlin workers with most of the success of the town, as well as Mayor Gee Williams.
"I think we have a mayor who works very hard. He and I don't always agree … but I think he always has the best interest of the town at heart," Gulyas said. "And I enjoy working with the council. I think we all get along extremely well and, once the vote's taken, the vote's taken. It's on to something else."
He said the major issues over the next several years would likely include improved relations with the Berlin Fire Company, developing Berlin Falls park and finding ways to address parking issues downtown.
On the fire company, Gulyas said there were "a ton of personalities involved."
"I know that they feel we want to run the fire company and that's the furthest thing from the truth," he said. "I believe I'm the only one [on the council] that's ever been with a fire department, but that doesn't mean I'm eligible to run a fire department. (Editor's note: Councilman Zack Tyndall was a member of the Berlin Fire Company).
"We don't want to run it, but we are accountable for that tax money that goes in there to support those folks … and we need to know where that money is going," he continued. "I think we're headed in the right direction now, but it's not going to be cured overnight. It's going to take some time."
He said there were lots of opportunities for town parks, especially with the one recently purchased and that happens to be across from his office on Old Ocean City Boulevard.
"There are things I'd like to see personally and things other folks would like to see, but I need people to understand that a nature trail is not going to pay a $2.5 million bill — not unless everybody wants to pay $100 to see some turtles and birds," he said.
Ideally, Gulyas would like to see the town build a recreation center and have the county parks and recreation department run it.
"They do a fantastic job with Snow Hill," he said. "On the worst, dreariest days, you can go in and walk the track and everybody from the neighborhood is in there. It is a great place.
"It wouldn't be terribly expensive to build and in the long run it would behoove us, because we need something on this end [of the county]. I think it would be a great partnership."
Gulyas said the town has been too relaxed when it comes to enforcing parking laws. People parking all day in front of marked two-hour parking spaces, for instance, are taking up valuable space and should be ticketed, he said.
"You've got to make some more room," he said. "The mayor has got some good ideas and that's something we need to tackle real, real soon."
He said he was open to charging tourists for parking and added, "I don't think that the residents should foot the bill for all of the activities on Main Street. That's not right. Those that use should pay."
For the most part, Gulyas said he was thrilled with the way town government operates. He said it was "about as transparent as could possibly be."
"As far as the town goes our job, as mayor and council, is easy because it's the town employees that make us look really good. And I firmly believe that," he said. "They are the front folks for all of us and I can't thank them enough. They do a phenomenal job for a little town."

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Monday that TE Kyle Rudolph has sustained a broken foot and is expected to miss a few weeks.
- Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that Rudolph could miss four-six weeks due to a broken foot, but his fracture is not of the Lisfranc variety.
Rudolph left during the Vikings Week 9 game against the Cowboys after catching a 31-yard touchdown reception, which included breaking three tackles on his way to the end-zone. Rudolph apparently suffered the injury during this play as his left foot was rolled up on.
Though Rudolph's production has been inconsistent for the most part in 2013, he has managed to rack up 30 receptions on 44 total targets. Rudolph is currently second on the team in catches behind only Greg Jennings who has 31 receptions. John Carlson will fill in for Rudolph while he's out.

What role does movement play in your everyday life?
♫ Every breath you take, every move you make…♫
If you are like me, I didn't truly connect the dots.
I took movement for granted. "I can do ANYTHING with my body"- Period.
In reality the body will do EXACTLY what you program it to do. It twists, bends, shifts & tilts, moulding and shaping its way through YOUR CHOSEN everyday movements. Your 30min/day or 1hr/day exercise regime has little impact on your overall health if you are immobile the rest of the day. Making Movement Matter 24/7 is the critical factor. What does this mean?
Put your movement under a microscope:
My hours spent sitting? [i.e. meals, transportation/driving, work/school, meetings, television, reading, relaxing]
My position/alignment while sitting?
How much do I walk/day? How do I walk?
What shoes do I wear?
How do I move within my activity or sport?
How much do I move, in general, daily?
Your health and longevity, as well as your pursuit of excellence in any endeavour you choose, is directly affected by your every day movements. It is not only the time spent moving (or lack thereof), it is also how you move. These blogs will explore the relationship of movement and wellbeing in every sense.
The next time you have body complaints (fatigue, aches, pains, injury, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, etc.), first ask yourself "What am I doing on a daily basis that could cause issues with my tissues?"; because, it is ALL about Making Movement Matter.
This blog will also explore exercise physiology, sport psychology, nutrition and overall health related topics. Please join me in the mission of 'Making Movement Matter' to you and your community.

It is true that enthusiasm for the profession is contagious. Having a group of teachers on Twitter who engage in meaningful conversation and inspire one another is a gift. I have learned so much from everyone, but mostly I remain inspired to better myself and the work I do with children. Like you, I feel my community has grown exponentially since finding Twitter and following blogs. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.

You have a great attitude! I'm no longer teaching in a classroom, and I miss being around other teachers. I have a neighbor who has a teaching background and has taken time off to raise her kids like myself. She will start teaching preschool next year. Volunteering at my children's school, tutoring, researching, and connecting online keeps me in the loop.
I love that I can stay connected to the teaching profession and take as much time as I need to raise my own children. I'd teach in a classroom if nearby districts had more half-time positions available.
I've found a balance that keeps me happy. It is so important to enjoy your life. Thanks for sharing your joy!

The Gospel according to St. Matthew 10:32-33, 37-38; 19:27-30
Today in the Orthodox Church we celebrate All Saints Day. Now in the Western Churches All Saints day is celebrated on November 1st and that is why All Hallows Eve (Halloween) is on October 31st.
The reason that All Saints day falls at this time in our calendar is very theologically important. This is the first Sunday after Pentecost. Pentecost as you know is our celebration of the descent of the Holy Spirit not only on the Apostles but on all of us. So there is a close connection between the Holy Spirit and Sainthood. In fact we as Orthodox would say that sanctity, holiness and sainthood cannot exist without the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
In today's Gospel reading we hear Our Lord Jesus Christ giving what is really a lesson that we could call "How to become a saint." Listen to these words "Everyone who acknowledges Me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father Who is in heaven; but whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father Who is in heaven. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me."
These words remind us that Jesus Christ is unrelenting in His pursuit of us. He demands full obedience and full love. The words of Our Lord telling us to love Him more than our own flesh and blood should serve as a true wake-up call to each of us regarding "what really matters in life". Not only are we reminded not to put our parents in front of the Lord, we are reminded that even if we put our children in front of Him we are unworthy of Him. But why such strong language? Is it because Christianity is meant to be difficult and painful? I don't think so. It is because the Lord does not compromise and does not negotiate for our love.
The real issue here is that there is no way to compare the love of family or friends with the love of God the creator of the heavens and the Earth. To tell someone that you love an ant on the sidewalk more than a dog would seem very very silly. But the truth is that the difference between humans and God is so much greater than the difference between the ant and the dog because God alone is uncreated, He alone is love and He alone deserves the fullness of our heart. We can certainly love others, but we must love Him more. We can definitely serve others, but our lives must be committed to Him.
There is a small downside to All Saints day…it reminds us that we have no excuses for not becoming saints. We cannot stand before the throne of the Lord and say "I didn't think it was possible" or "No one showed me how to do it." In today's epistle St. Paul tells us that "we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses" and by this he means all the saints and righteous men and women of all the ages throughout history. These men and women prove to us that it is possible to become more than simply humans making excuses for ourselves and our troubles and shortcomings. They prove that in the life of the Church we can be clay that is transformed from a simple lump into a masterpiece if we allow ourselves to be molded and sculpted by the loving hands of our Master and that means that we give ourselves, our hearts over to Him, we rededicate ourselves to Him every day. We remind ourselves that nothing is more important than knowing God.
Practically speaking I am always encouraging you to spend quiet time in prayer and to read your Bibles but there is another way to rededicate ourselves. We can examine our activities throughout the day and ask ourselves "Is this action bringing me closer to God?" "Is this action worthy of my time?" Each and every one of us has to take an inventory of ourselves and our time. We have to begin to unplug from the computers, the email, the facebook, the youtube, the work, the television maybe even our novels and books. We need to unplug ourselves because while we are plugged into all of these things we are fed by them. We aren't just dumb computers that see information and remain unaffected by it. We are human beings and our hearts and minds are imprinted by whatever it is we take in through our senses. Because we are affected by everything around us, it isn't enough to simply talk about the Holy Spirit and expect miracles, we have to allow our hearts to be empty of the world in order to be filled by the Spirit, in order to sense the presence of the Spirit of God.
What the Saints of the Church teach us by their example is that it is truly possible to direct our senses to good and noble things. To become holy and dedicated to God no matter where we are in society, whether we are fishermen, lawyers, doctors, tax collectors, even prostitutes. Whether we grow up in affluence or poverty, in a Christian household or with Pagan parents or unbelieving spouses. In each of these cases the Saints rise above the obstacles because they look past them, they look above them! As St. Paul tells us today "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely to us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of our faith." and Glory be to God Forever……

Generating reasonably accurate 3D models from video would be a great help to the photogrammetric community as it would reduce the expertise needed within image acquisition. To test how dense a cloud VisualSFM could generate from a shaky video input I captured a 22 second video with my Canon 500D at 720p (30 FPS) and took every 6th/10th frame using a MATLAB snippet. The subsequent results (~130 images at 1280×720 resolution) were loaded into VisualSFM, feature points found and a dense cloud generated with some print screens shown below.
I plan to redo this using python to make it fully open source and make an ipython notebook explaining each step so watch this space! I think I'll revise the input a little, or maybe redo the video adding some high resolution stills to see what kind of effect they may have.

Who wouldn't have a desire to get 100% love of their husband? Why wouldn't you dream that your husband should be loyal to you and love you selflessly? Well, it is the sheer hope of every wife in the world that her husband doesn't cheat on her. This one thought surely blows feet off the ground of a woman. But Islam gives you the opportunity to handle all situations calmly and in the right way. You always have the luxury to handle things by taking reference from Quran and Hadith. And, in case you are a little weak in this regard, seeking help from Islamic professionals could be highly beneficial for you and provide you with dua to increase love in husband heart.
Dua To Increase Love in Husband Heart
Islam has made marital relationship one of the most beautiful and important relations in the world. There are several rights of being a wife and several rights of being a husband. As a wife, you have all the right to demand love and affection from your husband. And, if you see that the love of your husband is fading, then it is advisable that you go for a powerful dua for husband to love you.
It will be the best remedy to stop your husband from cheating on you or from preventing diversion of his heart to any other woman. He shall be loyal only to you. Allah (Swt) has given so much power in dua and wazifa that it could do any miraculous action. Thus, you do not need to feel hopeless. Just have faith in the Almighty and with His grace, you shall witness a new side of your husband in no time.
Get Dua To Make Your Husband Love You
The dua for husband to love you is mentioned below:
- Make ablution
- Then pray two Nafil prayer.
- Make sure you pray the five prayers of the day before going for this process.
- Recite" HasbunAllahu wa ni`mal wakeel" for 100 times
- Recite Durood-e- Tunjeena for 40 times.
- Raise your hands in front of Allah (swt) and pray for the love of your husband through the wazifa of Mohammad the Prophet (pbuh)
- You have to do this dua for 7 days at least.
- Insha Allah you will see that the heart of your husband will start melting towards you.
- The dua to make my husband love me is very powerful and effective. However, you do not need to make a single gap in between.
There are times when husbands flee to some other woman because of their beauty, richness or sheer attraction. However, the dua for husband to come back to wife is very helpful in bringing your husband back to you. All you need to do is speak to an Islamic astrologer and seek his guidance in this respect. With so much knowledge and experience, the astrologer has the right piece of advice and most perfect dua for your situation. It shall be very fruitful to you.
Dua For Husband to Come Back to His Wife
The dua will bring peace, love and happiness in the life of shohar and biwi. You both shall see a very good time after it. Those ladies who have really given up on their husbands and do not think of even coming back shall practice the dua and see its promising results. If you're really tired of your life and wish to seek refuge in Quran and Hadith, then our Islamic astrologer shall help you find success in your struggles. You do not have to cry anymore for your husband, just have faith in Allah tala'h and pray from the core of your heart. You will receive success in few days.

As college students and recent graduates enter the workforce, they will likely meet people who can assist them with their job searches. When these opportunities arise, job seekers be prepared to take advantage of them. While some job seekers may not be the most outgoing in terms of personality, they can still be effective when networking. However, if students and grads don't understand how to network, they can hurt their chances of building important relationships that can advance their careers. So as job seekers attend networking events, they must be mindful of what not to do. Mike Summers, Director of Employer Relations at Wake Forest University, highlights common networking mistakes to avoid.
"Blindly reaching out without knowing basic information about a person, the kind of details usually found through a quick Google or LinkedIn search, is a red flag signaling a bad start to the networking experience. A wishful connection will be less likely to engage if college students or prospective hires don't bring any background knowledge to the table.
Expecting a networking connection will "tell me what to do." Before reaching out, know the information you want. It's helpful to have an informal script handy. "My name is Sue Smith; I'm a business major and art history minor interested in an entry-level job working in the cosmetic industry in New York. I'm hoping to secure a summer internship. Could you share with me how you got into the industry and any suggestions or recommendations you might have?"
Thinking the number of connections matters. Networking is about relationships, not numbers. Targeted outreach to people who share common interests makes networking effective. Two people may connect in an unlimited number of ways, such as graduating from the same school, being from the same hometown, choosing a similar academic path, or by an interest in a particular career. Whatever it is, a real connection matters.
The first outreach is inappropriate or unprofessional. Treat networking opportunities as professional conversations. It's easier to move from formal to casual than vice-versa. Having good manners and dressing appropriately (which is very different if you're interested in a career in journalism versus a career on Wall Street) is critical in creating the first impression that builds your reputation."

With more than 25 years of experience in the private sector, nearly half assisting organizations with recruiting, interviewing, and hiring top talent, Mike Summers, Director of Employer Relations at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has an insider's understanding of what employers are seeking and helping students and recent grads showcase their academic skills and personal experiences. Wake Forest's one, university-wide employer relations team means Summers has experience with and supports the employment search for students in all academic areas, teaching and empowering them to articulate the value of their education for today's employers.
You've prepared for your job interview mentally and academically, but have you done your fashion research? Don't let your choice of wardrobe for your interview negatively influence all the other positives you have in place. What will work best for your interview varies with each company. Before deciding what to wear to your interview, look into the every day dress code at that company. Then, choose apparel that is a step up from their everyday attire. It is just as important not to seem over-dressed for a casual work environment as it is to dress to impress in a more formal environment. This article will help show you what to wear and what not to wear to a job interview. We will also highlight how important your interview outfit can be. (more…)
Finding a job is difficult. And in a recession period; more difficult and frustrated. For one single vacancy in any organization there are 1000 candidates. This makes it more challenging for any student or qualified person to find the job in need. There is a theory to impress a recruiter to get the job and beat those thousands.
The job interview begins from the moment that you are called to attend an appointment and success will depend largely on the degree of preparation you have for it. Thorough interview preparation should be a golden rule for anyone interested in a job candidate. (more…)
If you're a woman on an entry level job who could use some tips on how to dress, the following post has some for you in an infographic, as well as those preparing for a job interview.
Being successful in your career takes a number of different factors. Women have to work hard, be smarter, and strive to prove that they are qualified for whatever jobs they are undertaking. One of the biggest mistakes that women make in the workforce is in the image they present. Women not only have to have

Hello beautiful people. This new year I've been going through a small transitional phase. I am trying to be a bit more classy, while maintaining my sexy style. The cool part comes naturally. I just feel like it's time to step it up a notch. I absolutely adore the knee or mid-calf length flounce skirt. I've seen them on women I think are very classy. Carolina Herrera and Michelle Obama seem to come to mind at the moment. I had been on the hunt for one for a couple of months. Then, one day I was thrifting at the Goodwill in North Charleston, when I spotted that sweet baby. It was only $3.99, which filled my heart with a ridiculous amount of joy. It makes me smile just thinking about it now.
The skirts remind me of a 1950's houseswife with her apron and pan of blueberry muffins coming fresh out of the oven. Which was the inspiration behind the kitchen theme. I just replaced the muffins and apron, with wine and a Keurig. I digress.
I purchased the top half of my look on Missguided.com. It is a Cut Out Panel Bardot Bodysuit in White at $22.00. I think it is the part of the sexy that I want to maintain. It is good quality too. I must say that it was significantly shorter than I thought it would be. It did not reach far enough down for me to button it.
Maybe one day I'll get to wear it out to a nice restaurant or just twirling down King Street. That would be fun. 😉

After reading a book for school, did you ever wish you could write a book report saying how much you really hated the book? Well, that's exactly what Wallace Wallace (yes- he has the same first and last name) does after reading Old Shep, My Pal for his 8th grade English class. It's no surprise when his teacher, Mr. Fogelman has a fit and assigns detention to Wally until he writes a proper book report. In his eyes, Old Shep, My Pal is a timeless classic and an award winning novel – nobody could possibly hate it!
Never one to lie about anything, Wally refuses, citing he hates the books most teacher assign because the dogs always die, and he knew Old Shep would die before he even opened the book. Remember Sounder or Old Yeller? Dead dogs. Where the Red Fern Grows – two dead dogs – a double whammy! What is the deal with dying dog books that make them such wonderful classics?
When detention involves having to spend his afternoons watching Mr. Fogelman direct the school play, Wally finds himself becoming involved in making the play adaption of Old Shep more contemporary.
Strong male and female characters combined with a solid and very humorous plot line keep the book moving quickly to the end. No More Dead Dogs is not a new book, but I highly recommend it to anyone who might enjoy the humor at poking fun at the classics that students are supposed to love reading – but often don't. (Review by Mrs. Hembree)

The thing is, nobody can answer this question. Not me, not my therapist, not any of my friends. I think the hardest thing is that nobody truly knows how I feel. Nobody knows that sometimes its hard to get out of bed and already be tearing up between walking to my bed and the bathroom to wash my face. People don't realize that behind these posts is a lot of real and raw pain. I am not exaggerating my experiences and I certainly don't share everything but its hard to share when I can't always explain what is going on.
"Why am I like this?" I ask myself, constantly.
Why can't I just have the normal amount of feelings and not emotions that feel so…heavy? Why are my thoughts so thick and overwhelming? Wouldn't it be easier if I didn't feel much at all? Sure, I take Ativan and Xanax to dull it out sometimes. Is that recommended? Well, I not a prescriber of medication, but sometimes it just..works.
This journey toward feeling better, isn't linear. It isn't like a physical problem like a broken leg. You go to the doctor, you get diagnosed with a broken leg, doctor puts on cast, and then you feel better in 6 weeks. I am not always going to have the energy to be upbeat or feel like things are going to get better. Sometimes, I am just sad. Sometimes, I make mistakes. Sometimes, I don't make the next best choice.
"How many times are you going to tell yourself to get over it?"
I'm trying not to beat myself up for letting myself feel raw emotions. Sometimes I wake up crying. Sometimes I go to bed, crying. I know that this shit cannot be normal. But I also don't think it is helpful to keep thinking that way. So I just tell myself, this is what you're feeling now and maybe in 30 minutes, you'll feel differently. Likely, in a few days, you will feel a whole lot better than you do now.
My therapist tells me there is no "normal person" and people have all shades of problems. I can't help but think that mine seem far worse than other people's problems. I guess I am just feeling a bit hopeless while I am usually so full of hope. But in a way, that is kinda freeing. I am filled with fucking problems. There .. I said it!
My feelings feel like grief.
Who am I mourning today?
What is playing in my head on a loop of sadness?
Why cannot I not heal from the past?
Why can't I disconnect from people?
One of my major themes and something that is central to who I am is feeling like I care much more about people than they do about me. I think that unless someone is doing something extreme, they really don't give a shit. I think that this comes from abusive past relationships. I'd break up with him and then he'd call several hundred times begging for me back. Its hard to feel loved by anyone else when you break up with them and they just accept it. It feels like..I meant nothing. I know abuse isn't love, I understand that premise but that doesn't mean that themes of that don't still creep into every relationship in my life. It doesn't mean I can accept normal love. Because, right now, I just can't.
When will any of this get better?
When will I truly feel whole?
Things aren't always peachy.. but if you'd like to read a more peachy post check out 7 ideas for self care you can do this week
