A pilot project to fund healthy fruit and vegetable vouchers for food insecure San Franciscans was proposed at the Board of Supervisors Neighborhood Services and Safety Committee hearing last Thursday. The innovative solution would bridge a startling hunger gap affecting thousands of Social Security beneficiaries, often seniors and families, who have little to no access to healthy food.
Sup. Eric Mar called for the hearing on food insecurity, and afterward promised a bevy of solutions to address hunger.
"In one of the wealthiest cities in this world, no child, no senior, no person with disability should be hungry," Mar said to the gathered crowd that day. "I know we have some work before us though."
At the hearing, members of the San Francisco Food Security Task Force, St. Anthony's Church, the San Francisco and Marin Food Bank, the SFUSD and other organizations, laid out a number of solutions to approaching food insecurity in San Francisco, which is defined not only by lack of food, but lack of nutritious and healthy food. For instance, a family may not be starving necessarily, but may subsist on malnutritious food, leading to a host of health problems.

Most vexing, health experts said, is even if every government food program were fully enrolled, it still wouldn't be enough.
Fully enroll Cal-Fresh (food stamps). Feed every kid free lunch in every city school. Though many thousands would be fed, tens of thousands of San Franciscans would still remain hungry.
The service gap exists in a conflict of requirements: when seniors or other persons receive Supplemental Security Income, Social Security benefits known as SSI, they are ineligible for food stamps, known in California as Cal Fresh.
Teri Olle, associate director of policy at the San Francisco and Marin Food bank, said SSI benefits aren't enough to live on in our high-cost city, let alone eat healthily with.
"SSI monthly is about $850. Imagine using that to pay your rent in San Francisco, and then try to buy food," she said. "That's not a lot of money."
The latest numbers from the Social Security Administration show 45,223 San Franciscans receive SSI benefits. Their benefits range from $877 to $1,133 a month for single persons, though most benefits are on the lower end of that scale.
The San Francisco Food Security Task Force developed the voucher program to meet just that need. The program would give food vouchers to eligible seniors and families receiving SSI benefits who cannot afford healthy food. The vouchers could be redeemed specifically for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables at local grocery stores and supermarkets.
A sample program run by UCSF's Center for Vulnerable Populations found that a majority of participants in the pilot of the pilot, if you will, bought oranges, grapes, bananas and avocados. Participants ate healthier and more nutritiously. The spending also could spur the local economy, Olle said.
"Of course there's a moral dictate to do something, and of course we all care," she said. "But from a city perspective the important aspect is: what are we all spending?"

A year's worth of healthy food to a senior costs the same as a day in the hospital, health experts at the hearing noted. And a presentation prepared for the hearing by the Food Security Task Force wrote that for every $1 invested in food stamps, $1.79 in local economic activity was spurred.
The voucher program is still in its planning stages, Olle said. Nickolas Pagoulatos, an aide to Mar, said the next step is to assign a city department to lead the pilot. The task force will make that recommendation in the coming months. After proposals are made, it will be up to the mayor or the supervisors to find city funding for the pilot, which would cost $512,000 and would serve 1,000 people.
Notably, the supervisors approved a mandate last December to eliminate food insecurity by 2020.
The fully implemented program serving 25,000 people is estimated to cost as much as $13 million. Advocates proposed private partners supply funding to supplement the program. But so far, everything is just a proposal.
"It's definitely something we want to implement, work on, and try to find funding for," Pagoulatos said.
But, he said, that will take time.

How to Install Windows 7 on Ubuntu Using VirtualBox
On 1/07/2010
Do you want to install Windows 7 inside Ubuntu? If your answer is yes, then you will need virtualization software like VMWare Workstation or Sun Virtualbox to setup an operating system (guest OS) inside an operating system (host OS). The process sounds more complicated than it really is so don't worry.
If you are ready, here's a step-by-step instruction on how to install Windows 7 (guest) inside Ubuntu (host). But first, some requirements:
If you are ready, here's a step-by-step instruction on how to install Windows 7 (guest) inside Ubuntu (host). But first, some requirements:
Ubuntu (9.10 preferred)
VirtualBox 3.1
Windows 7 Installer
1024 MB of RAM (at least)
Now let's get started:
1. Download the latest version of VirtualBox from HERE, and then install it.
2. Navigate to Applications --> System Tools and open VirtualBox.
3. Create a new virtual machine by clicking on the "New" button to start the setup wizard.
4. Create the name of your virtual machine (VM), in this case "Windows7", and then select the Operating System and its version (see below).
5. Specify the amount of memory (RAM) to be allocated to the VM. I've got 2048 MB of RAM so I decided to use half of it to make Windows 7 run a bit snappier.
6. Now create a new virtual hard disk and just click on "Next" to start the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard.
7. For the disk storage type, I use "Dynamically expanding storage" as I always do.
8. For the virtual disk storage size, make sure to allocate more than 5 GB for you to successfully install Windows 7. Click on "Next" and finish it up.
9. Windows 7 now appears on my list of virtual machines. Double-clicking Windows 7 will open the First Run Wizard. Click on "Next".
10. You will have to select the installation media for the guest OS so make sure the Windows 7 DVD installer is loaded.
11. Finish it up, and then a prompt will appear (see below). Just ignore it and click "OK".
12. Windows 7 installer will now be running in a moment. Just install Windows 7 like you normally would, and see the finished product :-)
Here are a couple of screenshots of Windows 7 running inside my Ubuntu desktop:
If you want to find out which do I think is better between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10, watch out for my follow-up post (coming soon) from this article: Ubuntu 9.10 vs. Mac OS X Snow Leopard vs. Windows 7.

This is my first tutorial, so please, be gentle and kind with your questions or comments.
I'm sure there are many solutions out there. I make no claim to say that this is the only way to do it... but, rather just one of the solutions that I came up with. I know it's not perfect, but it works for what I needed to do with it - if you have other suggestions to make it better, I'm always willing to hear/read them. Without further delay - here's my first tutorial.
The way the web development standards continually change, it's good to stay on top of things.
The latest implementation of HTML5 and Video have left many pondering how to take into consideration - the need for HTML5 video coding.
There are ways of doing it in Javascript, relatively quick. But how do you do it in the back end of an ASP.NET page?
Well I came across the need recently (for my job), and here's the solution that I came up with.
First, I was interested in using this: http://videojs.com/ for the new HTML5 implementation process. Essentially, it gives you a couple of Javascript files and a few CSS files to be linked to.
The simple html way of doing it, is like this.
(if you are using an HTML5 compatible browser, then use HTML5, otherwise - use FLASH.)
 ...  <link rel="stylesheet" href="video-js.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="Video JS" charset="utf-8"> ...

  <video class="video-js" width="640" height="264" controls preload poster="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png"> <source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' /> <source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' /> <source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />  <object class="vjs-flash-fallback" width="640" height="264" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf"> <param name="movie" value="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf" /> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="flashvars" value='config={"playlist":["http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.png", {"url": "http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4","autoPlay":false,"autoBuffering":true}]}' />   </object> </video>
Download Video: MP4, WebM, Ogg
  HTML5 Video Player by VideoJS

HOWEVER, I wanted to do it in the back end - because I had other functionality that was conflicting with it.
So, I started off with the On Page Load event and did a simple browser detect function; wrapping in a !Page.IsPostBack.
(You will also note that there's a "session" in there. I'm using that for another page's functionality as well as this one. Besides - it's always good to know how people are viewing your site... you can collect that data or you can choose to show specific content, etc.)
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!Page.IsPostBack) { //automatic browser detection System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser; string bName = browser.Browser;//get browser name Session["browserType"] = bName;//Store it in a session variable bool isMobile = browser.IsMobileDevice;//is this a mobile browser? //for testing purposes - uncomment out this... //Session["MobileBrowser"] = true; if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower().Contains("ipad") || (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower().Contains("iphone") || (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower().Contains("ipod") || (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower().Contains("android")) || (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower().Contains("Blackberry"))))) { //If you're mobile, make the session true. Session["MobileBrowser"] = true; //populate this div with the appropriate HTML5 tags dynamicDiv.InnerHtml = MobileDiv(); } else { //otherwise - make it false... this will come in handy later on. Session["MobileBrowser"] = false; //populate this div with FLASH dynamicDiv.InnerHtml = NonMobileDiv(); } } }
You'll notice that I called another function in there for "MobileDiv();" and one for "NonMobileDiv();"
You're no doubt wondering what those are, exactly.
Well, I decided to create a "div" (runat="server") that I wanted to populate with the appropriate "stuff".

 <%--this is where the video will play--%>

Then I created a "Private String"; one for each type. Each of these "Private Strings" is basically what's populating the "div"....
If you are a mobile browser or HTML5 compatible browser then use the "<video>" tag.
private String MobileDiv() { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(""); sb.Append("<video id=\"example_video_1\" class=\"video-js\" width=\"460\" height=\"296\" controls=\"controls\" preload=\"auto\" poster=\"http://www.myurl.com/images/VideoPreview.png\">"); sb.Append("<source src=\"http://www.myurl.com/video/myVideo.mp4\" type=\'video/mp4; codecs=\"avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2\"' />"); sb.Append("<source src=\"http://www.myurl.com/video/myVideo.ogv\" type=\'video/ogg; codecs=\"theora, vorbis\"'>"); sb.Append("</video>"); return sb.ToString(); }
BUT if you can use FLASH, then use the "<object>" tags....
private String NonMobileDiv() { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(""); sb.Append("<object width='460' height='296' id='StrobeMediaPlayback' name='StrobeMediaPlayback' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000'>"); sb.Append("<param name='movie' value='http://www.myurl.com/video/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf' />"); sb.Append("<param name='quality' value='high' />"); sb.Append("<param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' />"); sb.Append("<param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' />"); sb.Append("<param name='flashvars' value='&src=http://www.myurl.com/video/myVideo.mp4&autoHideControlBar=true&streamType=vod&autoPlay=false&stretching=exactfit' />"); sb.Append("<embed src='http://www.myurl.com/video/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf' "); sb.Append("width='460' height='296' id='StrobeMediaPlayback' quality='high' bgcolor='#000000' name='StrobeMediaPlayback' allowfullscreen='true' "); sb.Append("flashvars='&src=http://www.myurl.com/video/myVideo.mp4&autoHideControlBar=true&streamType=vod&autoPlay=false&stretching=exactfit' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'>"); sb.Append("</embed>"); sb.Append("</object>"); return sb.ToString(); }
That's it. Enjoy. If this tutorial was helpful in any way, and you thought it was good, then I was happy to do it.
Otherwise - I was forced to do it against my will by pirate ninja elves from some netherworld that really doesn't exist, except in my own mind. And if you see any of them, approach with caution. They like peanut M&M's and toast - but not together. And PLEASE, whatever you do, don't ever ask them for directions. They will almost always give you directions to Bobo The Clown - Kind of the underworld.

[OKKBYE] shapes and my 100th blogpost!
Hiya guuuuuuys! My 100th post! ehfwjefkjdsfhjkdfhsjkdfhs. I didn't plan this out at all, but I just felt like doing it today, and I had promised a lot of you that I was going to bring out a line of shapes this week. I've been getting a lot of IM's about my shape(s), especially about the shape I was wearing with the Essences "Taurus" skin. I wanted to make some more shapes for a long time now, but it just never really happened. I've deleted every other item from my marketplace store (like my face doodles and eyes) and replaced them by shapes only. You can still, of course, buy all my things – like my eyes, tights and even those face doodles – in my inworld store, but I thought this would be a lot easier for those who just want to browse my shapes. Eventually I want to make a different location of my store inworld, a body shop with my freckles, moles and shapes there – but for now I'm keeping it as it is! Soooo, scroll down and click on the links I'm giving after each picture or go straight to my marketplace store and browse 'em there. The only difference is that the pictures are more high quality (and bigger) here, and on the marketplace they are kinda blurry. LOL! OH-! And there are DEMO's available! Okay, anyway, HUNDRETH POST YAAAY! BYE. OKBYE.

Schwab Market Knowledge Tools® Report, Webcast and SOLUTIONS Session are Latest in Schwab's Cost Basis Transition Toolbox
Public Company Information:
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of its ongoing rollout of tools and resources to help advisors transition to new cost basis reporting requirements, Charles Schwab, a leading provider of custodial, operational and trading support for more than 6,000 independent registered investment advisor firms (RIAs), today announced a new report to help advisors plan for the change.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 mandates for the first time that custodians and broker-dealers must report the adjusted cost basis of sold securities to advisors' clients and to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099-B. The requirements will be phased in over three years, beginning on January 1, 2011, with equities acquired and sold on or after this date. Schwab Advisor Services is planning to introduce technology enhancements to enable advisors to more easily stay in synch with Schwab's cost basis data. These include the ability to download and import Schwab's cost basis data into their portfolio management system and online functionality to provide cost basis instructions on equity trades via Schwab's online trading platform.
"As a custodian, Charles Schwab shoulders most of the compliance burden for the new requirements, but we are encouraging advisors to take action as well," said Brian Keil, director, Cost Basis and Tax Reporting for Charles Schwab. "Our cost basis resources are designed to help advisors prepare now and manage the transition in a way that builds stronger client relationships and avoids potentially costly and time-consuming changes and workflow issues down the road."
The Schwab Market Knowledge Tools® report, "Preparing for the New Cost Basis Legislation," reviews the forthcoming changes in the reporting of adjusted cost basis of sold securities, highlighting the key changes that begin in 2011. The report recommends steps advisors can take now to improve clients' experience:
- Create a communications plan. Fallout from any investor confusion around the legislation may land with advisory firms. Actively reaching out to clients and offering guidance can reduce anxiety that may arise. Schwab will also be communicating directly with investors later in 2010 about the upcoming changes.
- Anticipate client needs. Certain clients may want to access cost basis information for all securities, regardless of whether they are covered by the legislation or not, while others may want access to the information periodically. Firms that understand how Schwab and other custodians are reporting stand to create a smoother experience for their clients.
- Evaluate the impact on your back office. Advisors should evaluate their portfolio management systems and ensure they are in synch with the custodian's data. Advisors should also stay up to date on Schwab's plans for complying with the legislation, including technology upgrades that may impact workflow.
On June 22, 2010, Schwab Advisor Services will host the latest in a series of webcasts to help advisors understand the cost basis legislation and what it means for their firms. Titled "An Advisor's Perspective on Cost Basis Legislation," this webcast is the third in a series explaining the legislation and its implications for investment advisory firms. Beginning at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET, Schwab's Brian Keil will lead an hour-long presentation with two advisors and conclude with an interactive question-and-answer session with industry experts and Schwab representatives.
In March, more than 650 advisors registered for Schwab's last webcast on this topic, "New Guidance on Cost Basis Legislation." Schwab initially kicked off the webcast series on December 1, 2009, with "What the Cost Basis Legislation Means for You and Your Clients." Advisors who want to attend the June 22 webcast or to access earlier webcasts in the series should visit the cost basis resource section of Schwab Advisor Center, Schwab's website for its RIA clients.
Additionally, Schwab Advisor Services will offer a special session, "Cost Basis Legislation and its Impact on Your Firm," at its upcoming SOLUTIONS workshops across the country this July and August. The session will detail Schwab's tools and offer practical guidance on dealing with workflow changes that may be necessary to align with Schwab's cost basis data reporting system.

Yesterday I had what has to be the ultimate Mashup experience. How else to describe the food at the Fat Duck? The combination of Snail and Porridge can only be described as a fantabulous culinary mashup. The "Sound of the Sea" that combines an iPod with a litany of wonderful sea food and all around combinations that make you raise an eyebrow before hand and then be brought to tears by the sheer brilliance of the food.
I've eaten at some great restaurants before and had some amazing food. Without a doubt however the Fat Duck was in a complete league of its own as a culinary experience.
And isn't that what successful enterprise mashups should be about? Combining elements that haven't been brought together before to produce the sort of result that delivers customer satisfaction in a measurable and repeatable way.

I had thought briefly of dragging myself out of bed at the crack of dawn this morning to do some strength training mixed with cardio. But somehow I knew I would not be able to do it. Despite the fact that 3.6 miles isn't that new to me, my legs are feeling somewhat sore today. I attribute that to the fact that we were on a trail where I was constantly having to work my legs muscles to keep my balance, not to mention all the hills that were present.
So I decided to sleep in a little (tough decision that it was) and save the strength training for tomorrow. Perhaps today will be one of my days off?
Since today was my early day at work (hence my desire to sleep as much as I could), I wanted something quick and easy for breakfast. I'm not usually hungry until around 8:00 or 9:00, so on Tuesdays I end up taking a breakfast with me to eat when I get to work. Today I made a cottage cheese parfait with cottage cheese, Back to Nature Sunflower Seed granola, and some fresh peaches. It was sooo yummy that I'm not even sure why I hadn't done this before. I used to make these kinds of things a lot with canned peaches, but I had never done it with fresh peaches. As I've stated before, fresh peaches are so much better than canned and I will never go back.
This breakfast really hit the spot. It was very filling, so much in fact that I couldn't even finish it! The best part was that I let go of my guilt for not cleaning my plate. Hallelujah! I think the only thing this breakfast needed was a touch of cinnamon or something just to give it a bit more kick. I did love that it kept me full right up until lunchtime.
Lunch was also quite tasty. I made myself a grilled cheese out of pita bread and also brought some 365 Organic Tomato Basil Soup. It was like sick food . . . only I wasn't sick! 🙂 This is the only packaged soup that I love eating, even when I'm feeling at the top of my game. It is sooo good.
Does anyone else ever feel like licking the bowl when they are done? I totally felt like doing that. But alas, I did not even though no one was watching me. 😉
Snack was a delicious red apple.
For some reason, there are times when I have to literally force myself to eat the fruits and veggies that I brought with me for snack. It's not because I don't like them. It's because my mind wants something else, like maybe another item in my lunch box that isn't fruit or veggie related. I am trying to eat the "good stuff" first because otherwise I fill up on the other stuff and then I don't have any appetite for the apples or grapes that I have with me. But even though I had to force myself to pick the apple as a choice for a snack, I still wholeheartedly enjoyed it once I started eating it. My body enjoyed it, even though it took my mind a few minutes to catch up. Sometimes I feel like my mind is always playing catch-up.
Snack #2 was my favorite: hummus with some whole wheat pita breads. Mmm . . . yummy. Excuse me if you can smell my garlic breath from the computer. 🙂
Dinner tonight was one of my favorite, go-to simple meals. It was whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce and chicken as well. The only thing that this dish needed to add some extra nutrients was maybe some broccoli so I could mix it in with the pasta or something. But typically, my husband and I take about 6-7 oz. worth of chicken (2 servings worth), season it with some paprika and red pepper and bake it in the oven for 20 minutes. In the meantime, we cook the pasta and some tomato sauce as well. I always add some extra seasonings to our tomato sauce to spice it up a bit. I usually add some oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper (can you tell we like things spicy?). Then when everything is done, we just mix it together. Corey usually put in an extra serving of sauce so that I can have leftovers. So basically this makes about 3 servings. I know what I will be having for lunch tomorrow! It is very tasty and very filling (much more filling than just noodles and sauce).
Now I must relax and watch some TV. I think I will take a little time off from exercise tonight. If I work out tonight, I know that I won't feel like doing anything tomorrow. And I have GOT to do some strength training! I never do enough of it and I want to be nice and prepared for tomorrow's session.

Today, I'm again sharing with you another email from a reader that I received last Jan. 18, 2012. I've emailed my response to his question, however, I would like to share it now also for the benefit of those who may going through the same thing and/or for those who simply want to know, specially because the same reader just called last night to inform me that my suggestion seemed to have worked.
MW, my reader's initial, sent me a private email to inquire about a Feng Shui cure for a hostile neighbor. According to MW, their neighbor in their subdivision is quite hostile towards them. The matriarch of the neighbor would often complain about their 'smelly' food, the noisy children of MW and his wife, the noisy dog, the neighbor also complains about how she can smell the fumes from their car in the morning when they're about to leave, and in the evening when they get home. As if that's not enough, the neighbor also complained about the pond in MW's garden, which she said she could see from her bedroom window, and she also said that she's afraid that the pond may be a breeding ground for dengue causing mosquito and she even 'suggested' that it be removed. She even went as far as approaching the homeowner's association president to request that MW be pressured to get rid of the pond!
MW and his family have lived in the said subdivision for more than 20 years already. That's where he grew up and inherited the house from his parents when they migrated to the US. Hostile Neighbor is relatively new and has been there only for 3 years. Hostile Neighbor first moved in with her family-another couple with some children, and for reasons unknown to MW, she seems to live in the house on her own now. She just has some maids with her.
MW and I exchanged numbers so we can talk about his problem properly. On the phone, MW explained that they've tried everything already. They went to talk to her, invited her to their home, send food to Hostile Neighbor, offer to run errands for her. They did these things because his wife said that they should be more understanding given that Hostile Neighbor is already old and that she may be feeling lonely. However, all of their efforts were turned down, except the running of some of her errands.
MW decided to contact me because the matter has become so bad already and that not a week goes by that Hostile Neighbor will not shout something bad against them. It may be about the food, the car, the dogs, the pond, or even about their house help, but every week Hostile Neighbor will shout at them through their windows, and it seems to be getting worst each week. There are times that Hostile Neighbor is not contented with shouting, she would even go to MW's house and ring the bell like it's an emergency or like she's been there forever and they've just been ignoring her!
MW said they believe in Feng Shui and has consulted a couple Feng Shui consultants who suggested that they make some renovations and/or buy some Feng Shui cures to deflect the poison arrow that's causing the hostility from the neighbor. MW followed their advice but nothing happened.
When MW presented me with this matter, I just have to believe that the Feng Shui experts that he consulted are correct in saying that the hostilities are not caused by the bad Feng Shui of MW's house. MW also clarified that they really haven't had any major renovations and everything seems to be fine before the neighbor moved in. They're certainly in good terms with their old neighbor, the previous owner of Hostile Neighbor's house.
It's possible that the hostility that they're experiencing is due to either of the following reasons: Bad Feng Shui of the neighbor's house that causes so much anger to the owners that is dumped on them because as they said aside from the house helps nobody else is with Hostile Neighbor, or it is deeply rooted in the BAZI of Hostile Neighbor.
A neighbor's Feng Shui will have some effect on us, just like our Feng Shui will have some effect on them. However, it's pretty obvious that we can't do much about our neighbor's Feng Shui. So what do we do with problems like MW's?
Since MW is also Chinese and a Taoist – Buddhist at that, I suggested for him to do a Taoist ritual that may help protect him and his family against the hostility brought about their neighbor. I once suggested the same ritual with an aunt who is experiencing the same problem with her neighbor.
Like I said, just last night, MW called again to inform me that the ritual seemed to have worked. It's been about 3 weeks since the hostilities have stopped. Whether it has stopped forever or not has yet to be seen, but do allow me to share the ritual here.
First you'll need to get 7 pieces of lime. In China, they usually use Mandarin Lime or Mandarin Orange, but any lime will do. In the Philippines, it can be our local lime, which is Calamansi or you can also use Dalandan.
Fill a big white bowl with tap water.
If you have an altar, call on the saints or deities or Buddhas on your altar. Do this by lighting 3 incense sticks and call on their help to help subdue the hostilities coming from your neighbor. If you know the full name of the neighbor, please mention his/her name. Place the incense on the incense urn or incense burner.
Get the white bowl of water and let it pass through the smoke by rotating it 3 times above the incense urn or burner. Rotation should be done in a clockwise manner.
Get the lime and let it be smoked by the incense as well. You do this by letting it pass through the incense smoke 4 times also. Just like white bowl of water.
Cut 2 pieces of the lime and squeezed it's juice into the water.
Place the rest of the lime and the white bowl of water on the wall separating your house and that of the neighbor's house.
Leave it there overnight. The following day, anytime after sunrise but before 9 in the morning, simply splash the water with limejuice on your side of the wall. If you live parts of Europe where sunrise doesn't happen until 9 in the morning, do it between 6 and 9 in the morning.
Take the rest of the lime and throw it on the trashcan. If possible, throw it on a river, if you live near one.
Do the ritual for 7 consecutive days.

Funeral For Real
We are ready to be in a room again with our little boy. OH, WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PABLO! We are ready to honor Pablo. To celebrate Pablo. To share Pablo—with ourselves, with you—one final time as we begin to really let go of him. To dignify Pablo's physical body with a contemplative and soul-searching service that will end with his burial. This is the final step in the physical human experience. This is how we dignify the passing of a soul, and give it our blessing to move on fully and completely, back to God, back to Nature, back to the Universe.
Last night's Pablo Memorial shook our souls. The hundreds of friends and family we embraced last night confirmed that the soul shaking was felt throughout the room. We thank you for bringing your heavy hearts, your confusion, your anger, your laughter, your tears, your wonder, and most of all, your MEMORIES OF PABLO! Even if you didn't get a chance to speak your Pablo memories on stage, or to us, we received through our hearts. Trust that we did.
And, remember what I requested last night: When you see us out and about in the coming days, months, years, PRESENT PABLO! We need your P LOVE! This will keep Pablo's spirit and his life's message alive and with us forever.
We'll see you in a few hours at Forest Lawn.
In love,
Jeff, Jo Ann and Grady

Thank you for sharing Pablo's life with us. I think you guys are amazing people. Great parents and a wonderful brother. It was a beautiful service. I would love to talk about Pablo when I get a chance soon. He was a very gifted child. He knew how to touch everyones heart in a special way.

you don't know us. my daughter is friends with tennessee. i have been following your blog since last friday night. my daughters and i lit a candle last night at 5:30 and i told them that this was for a little boy that we don't know but we will honor with light and by saying his name out loud. PABLO!
wishing you love today and everyday as you move forward.

Sometimes I find myself wondering if it's strange to be so broken hearted over the passing of a little boy I didn't know. Then I remember that we are all interconnected; brothers and sisters; family in this big, unexplainable universe. Then I realize: Why wouldn't I be?
I'm not the perfect parent. My boys challenge my patience and sanity daily, sometimes hourly, sometimes by the second. Just know, that it will be in those times, that I will call on the gentleness in spirit of Pablo to guide me through. That will be often. Trust me! : ) Today, my love, thoughts and heart will be with your family.

I've been holding your family in my thoughts for days. Especially this morning. I've got a beautiful candle lit in my house for Pablo today.
- July 1, 2009 at 10:20 AM
i have only briefly met your family, but have been a faithful follower of Pablog for quite some time. my cousin and i were hesitant to go to the service last night seeing as how we do not know you really at all, but i can say that we have fallen in love with your family through this journey that you have shared with us and Pablo's spirit has touched us in such a profound way and so we decided to go...
and i am so happy that we did, last night was one of the most incredible experiences that i have ever had. from the beating of the drums to heartfelt songs by amazing musicians to the beautiful stories that each and every speaker told. the images that were shared at the end will be with me forever...i laughed and i cried and i took in all of the love and light and energy of Pablo that was in that room.
thank you for giving me that gift, for giving everyone who was there that gift. this is only the beginning of the CELEBRATION of P's life!
i still spend that 3 minutes a day that you asked for a while back in prayer for you and your family and friends and in celebration of an incredible little boy named Pablo who has touched me in a way that i am changed forever!
my thoughts and prayers will be with you today as you lay P's body to rest.
- July 1, 2009 at 10:31 AM
last night was so beautiful...thank you so much for that. before we left the house to go miles was so "furious" and he felt "stupid" were some of the words he used. he did NOT want to see people being sad about Pablo. he was angry any time i cried. he had no way to deal with all that he was feeling. so i thought ok, i'll take him to camp he doesn't have to go to the service today. but when he woke up, he said he wanted to go to the "graveyard" and be with pablo. he wrote this letter that says, "WULEV EN CALFONU ANWUSH B KIND PABLO" translates we live in california and we should be kind pablo. he has been doing GERANAMO jumps off every piece of furniture. pablo once again being the great friend/teacher. i always wished for a little "pabby" to rub off onto miles and i think he actually has... at least for today. so much love. carrie

I'm so sorry this day has come and for your family having to endure this very "real" experience. Your willingness to share these experiences with us in such an open, honest way is inspiring. You have an amazing family and it is easy to see why Pablo has had such a positive influence on so many people. I'm convinced Pablo is greatful for such a wonderful family that will continue to carry on his legacy of love. You guys are amazing and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heart and thoughts have been with Pablo all day. I'm thinking of him in the small things too. When I felt pain running - I ran harder and longer when I thought of all Pablo had endured (endured with a smile on his face, nonetheless!). Thank you all for sharing this journey with us and please continue to. Pablo will always be alive in our hearts and minds and watching down on us all.

Not only was the service last night wonderful, but you all, and especially you, Jeff, honor Pablo with your writing. You have a gift with words, that not only makes your love and pain apparent, but makes P's joy, life, love, and specialness apparent.
Keep writing, please. It will do your heart good, and will keep P alive for us.

Jeff, Jo Ann and Grady –
We just came across the pablog link and our hearts just sank. We had the pleasure of sharing a home with your family on Lake Winnipesaukee at Pete & Brie's wedding. Even at just 3 years old Pablo filled that house with life, laughter and love. What an amazing child – our hearts break for you. We will forever remember Pablo, the beautiful little boy with the curls and smile in his eyes. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you.
With Love,
Darren, Katie, Maggie & Joshua Francek

I never had the blessing of meeting Pablo, but know how proud Pat & Harry are to have him in their life. Following PABLOg! has brought tears, laughter (looking at that amazing smile), and inspiration that I could not have gained from anyone else. We are thinking about all of you as you celebrate Pablo's life.

Grady, what an impressive young man, you did not need an early education on how tough life can be but Pablo will help you and be there for you throughout your life! Jo Ann what a mother, we can all see the strong foundation you laid out in the kids! And Jeff I was so privileged to have been part of the service yesterday and more so of shaking your hand and saying "you don't know me but.." After the service I had to run home, share the love with my family and tell them about Pablo and get on my bike, wear the velo clothing and ride up that hill behind the cemetary that Pablo loved. I got to the curve with the view of Pablo's beautiful resting place and prayed, cried, thought of you and reassured Pablo that each time I pass that curve I will pray and tell him to be happy, not to be scared.
That road should be renamed "PABLO's WAY'!! Also just a thought, when my brother was sick with cancer at the hospital I made a nice book of all the blog comments and gave to the close family members......
Anyway thank you for allowing us all to share and I hope to ride with you soon at Velo in memory of and with Pablo.
Be strong.
- July 2, 2009 at 9:19 AM
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to leave a comment...my mind, heart and soul have been swimming in confusion still trying to absorb what has happened! Needless to say, I am still in shock and my mind is just now processing how this all happened is such a short period of time. I am beyond sad. I am beyond hurt and devasted. But through the tears I still smile. I spent some time looking back at all the photos taken and posted on this blog after its initial birth. In so many of the smiles and facial expressions of Pablo with his beautiful bald little head, I saw glimpses of my daughter Sicily. So now when she looks at me a certain way and gives me a special smile, I will also see Pablo. At least a couple of people in Oklahoma will never forget this incredible human being who once graced the earth with his presence. In April, Sicily and I attended the funeral of a six-year-old little girl who we became very fond of while being treated inpatient together at our local Children's Hospital. On the back of the program from the funeral was typed this sweet poem. It's the only way I can make heads or tails or sense out of why a child would ever have to have a funeral of their own. I wanted to share it with you in hopes it may provide even the tiniest glimer of peace! It's written by Edgar A. Guest.
A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child fo Mine," He said,
"For you to love while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."
Though you as parents, Jeff and JoAnn, gave Pablo life through birth...he, in a sense, gave you life, as well. And to the rest of us who were fortunate enough to share and observe his life from a distance through the wonders of a computer screen! Because of Pablo, we can appreciate life, laugh at life and enjoy life so much more than if we had never known about him. I can perfectly visualize him in heaven right now...he is an Angel! And I will dissolve the misconception that all Angels where white feathered wings and marabou hallows...some are dressed in black and white striped shirts and bicycle helmet clad heads! And when they smile, they proudly show their missing teeth! ; ) That is my vision! I will continue to lift you all up in prayer, now and forever more! And thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us on this journey. You've been a big help!
All our love,
Sicily and her mommy, Kerry
and the rest of the Zeka clan!

1) Your phone, it's randomly freezing bro:
You're happily playing "The Impossible Game" when you're almost through the level and your phone suddenly freezes, you can't turn it off, you can't reboot it, the only course of action is to rip out the battery and lose your hard work (that's what has happened to me ugh)
2) After freezing, you think this might be an application causing it?
That's what I thought too with my phone, so I did a factory reset only to find that it was freezing within 10mins even with no apps installed, I knew there was something up.
3) Must be my ROM then?
Ah, so you're like me who was running a custom ROM at the time? I thought it was the ROM too, so I updated it, restored it, did a head twirl and still, nothing, it kept freezing, I was scratching my head, I was distressed, my whole... life... is on this wee device of mine in otherwords... Crap.
Things I've tried:
Restoring to stock.
Installing Cyanogenmod 10.1, Android Revolution HD
Custom Kernels "with the magical fix embedded" - Perseus, Siyah
Different Flashing Tactics, Mobile ODIN, ODIN, Heimdell, CWM
All tested over the course of a week
So this sounds like me, what the hell do I do?
Send it for repair, it's the only way bro, don't waste your time. Crashes can happen randomly, if you're running some kind of custom rom or are rooted and notice your phone freezing restore to stock - else you'll wake up one morning and your phone just won't turn on or do anything.
Samsung claim to cover you under warranty since this is a manufactures defect even if you're on some other ROM but if you get the chance just restore to stock to prevent our local repair companies from trying to take all of your hard earned cash unless if you argue.
Oh, and if you're on a custom ROM you'll need this before restoring to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Update: I got my phone back from "repair" with the software just reflashed, as soon as I read the ticket I should have just demanded them to take it back except I was in a bit of a rush, Samsung reflashed my phone with the latest software and called it fixed. Since this is a hardware fault they're either needing to replace your mainboard or in extreme situations replace the whole phone. When sending the phone back for repair if they've done this to you include a screenshot of the "eMMC Brickbug Check" app running on your phone (if possible) along with the note "See image, please replace mainboard, sudden death syndrome"
I've noticed that Telegistics know what they're repairing and never seen a phone come back without having the mainboard replaced (kudos to them!), since my phone was bought online from 2Degrees they've made me deal with Samsung direct.
In the meantime, the ultimate fix was buying the Nexus for me.

Celebrating the life of the well-traveled Pat Nixon
As the wife of an ambitious politician, Pat Nixon had her hands full. Besides keeping up with Richard Nixon's various political incarnations, she had a household to run and two daughters to raise.
But as a new exhibit on the centennial of her birth at the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum in Yorba Linda makes clear, she had another passion in her life: The desire to see new places and meet people tugged at her as forcefully as her husband's dreams of winning the presidency.
Pat Nixon, born Thelma Catherine Ryan, is the second most-traveled first lady in history (Hillary Rodham Clinton is first), visiting more than 80 countries as the wife of a congressman, vice president and president. The high-water mark for the world may have been the Nixons' ground-breaking trip to China in 1972 (remember her stunning red coat?), but there were plenty of other trips that put her in that elite league of people who graduate from tourist to traveler. And she had the attributes of a natural-born traveler: "She was absolutely fearless," said Bob Bostock, curator of the exhibit. "She was not going to let herself be held back from what she wanted to do by fear. She would not give in to it."
The future first lady was born in Ely, Nev., in 1912 and grew up — quickly — in Artesia. At age 13, she lost her mother, which meant added responsibilities at home; five years later, her father died. She and her siblings juggled work and school, but when the opportunity presented itself, she took a road trip to New York City and stayed, working as a secretary and, improbably, as an X-ray technician.
She eventually returned to Southern California, where she earned a degree at USC and began teaching at Whittier High. About that time, she met Nixon, whose love letters to her, also on display, reveal a tender side we don't often associate with the 37th president. They married in 1940.
Her travel horizons, like his quest for higher office, continued to broaden, and she was often dispatched to represent the U.S. In 1969, she went to South Vietnam and spent time with wounded soldiers. She attended the inauguration of President William Tolbert of Liberia in 1972 and, two years later, the swearing-in of Ernesto Geisel of Brazil.
But it may have been her 1970 visit to Peru that showed the world a different picture of a woman many called "plastic Pat." After an earthquake killed as many as 80,000 people, she flew there to distribute aid to those areas devastated by the quake and the resulting slides, which swept away towns under fast-moving walls of earth and debris.
In a video in the exhibit, Connie Stuart, Pat Nixon's press secretary, recalled that Peru's first lady, Consuelo Velasco, took her cue from Nixon, who had climbed over rubble, comforted victims and listened to the anguish of a nation. Before Nixon returned home, she was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Sun, Peru's highest honor. It is on display.
South America seemed to present special challenges for Pat, who, with her husband, had visited Caracas, Venezuela, while he was vice president in 1958. Demonstrators attacked the motorcade (the vice president and the second lady were in separate cars), throwing rocks and smashing their car windows. Pat Nixon, reports said, never flinched during the 12 minutes that the drivers of the cars looked for an escape. Military aide Don Hughes said she exhibited "more guts than any man I've ever seen."
After President Nixon's resignation in 1974, the couple returned to San Clemente. As private citizens, they made another trip to China in February 1976, but in July of that year, Pat Nixon suffered a debilitating stroke. (They returned in 1979 after her recovery.)

Doah! A Deer Problem . . .
County still searches for solutions to growing deer population
Published on: Thursday, September 29, 2011 CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE LINK
By Helen Hocknell – The Sentinel Newspapers
Scientists call them Odocoileus virginianus, Disney names them "Bambi," but farmer Ben Allnutt just calls them "rats with antlers."
As the growing population of white-tailed deer continues to create problems for Montgomery County, farmers, gardeners and county officials seek solutions.
In the early 1900s, deer were nearly extinct in this region due to unregulated hunting. Hunting restrictions and reintroduction efforts in the decades that followed contributed to a dramatic population increase that has negatively impacted farm production, compromised road safety, and thrown the forest ecosystem off balance.
"What you have in Montgomery County is the perfect storm," said Joe Brown, president of Patriot Land and Wildlife Management Services, located in Barnesville, MD. His company works with land owners and local governments to provide a variety of environmental management services, including deer population control. "By taking away natural predators and limiting hunters' ability to hunt, we've created their ideal habitat, which has lead to this population explosion."
The rate of reproduction for deer is a big part of the problem. "Lifespan varies, but deer in suburban environments can live to 10-12 years, in absence of hunting or car strike," explained Wildlife Biologist Bill Hamilton of the Montgomery County Department of Parks. Female deer can begin breeding at 1.5 years of age, and continue to produce fawns throughout their lifespan, generating as many as 1-3 fawns per year. "Does in good health tend to have twins and triplets during their prime," said Hamilton.
This means population reduction efforts are most effective when targeted at mature, reproductive-aged females, since bucks can mate with multiple does. "It really goes back to an effort vs. results equation," explained Brown. "Say you have three hunters, each with three hours a week to give. Each hunter kills a deer, but two kill a buck and one kills a doe. With the doe, you've essentially taken three deer out of the population, but the hunters who got the bucks just took one out."
In general, archery season in Montgomery County is permitted Mondays through Saturdays, September 15 through January 31 each year, and is also open on the 1st Sunday in November. Bow hunting is not permitted during the firearms and muzzleloader seasons. Firearms season occurs for two weeks, beginning in late November and again for two days during early January. Hunters in the county may use shotgun, muzzleloader, and archery equipment during the firearms season. Muzzleloader season occurs during Mid-December and runs for approximately two weeks, typically ending around January 1.
While the county has eased restrictions in the past to include more Sundays and extend the season, some hunters still feel that the county could do more to encourage hunting.
"A lot of hunters are working people who don't have as much free time except on weekends," explained Wayne Long of Laurel, MD. "The way the regulations are set up, that leaves only Saturdays or maybe holidays, which may mean only one day for several weekends," said Long. He has used a crossbow in the past, but prefers hunting with traditional firearms like muzzleloaders, which is restricted to only a couple weeks a year.
Another obstacle for hunters is simple: limited freezer space. "A hunter may harvest one or two deer per season because that's all their personal freezer capacity allows. They aren't going to kill an animal for the sake of killing it – that's illegal and not what the sport of hunting is about," said Agricultural Services Manager Jeremy Criss of the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development. So the county partnered up with Patriot Wildlife Management Services to coordinate the collection, processing and donation of venison to local area food banks. They set up cold boxes in Poolesville and Laytonsville where hunters could drop off field-dressed deer. In the 2010-2011 season, 401 deer were donated, providing 16,040 pounds of venison for food banks across the county.
The county also organizes a managed deer hunting program from late October through January, which hunters can apply to online after demonstrating knowledge and experience by completing a state-approved hunter safety education course and passing a background check. This year, managed hunts are scheduled to occur in eight locations.
"We currently have an active roster of approximately 325 approved participants," said Hamilton, who explained that they typically remove approximately 500 deer annually through that program.
"We also utilize specially trained Park Police officers to remove deer during hours of darkness in specific parks. This method is highly effective, but more costly than managed hunting, and can occur in more developed areas of the county. We remove 450-600 deer annually from approximately 11 park locations using this program," explained Hamilton, adding that this method of removal allows them to meet standards of humane euthanasia as established by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
But in the city of Rockville, Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio doesn't feel an organized hunt would be appropriate. "I'd like to see if there's a way we can deal with this issue without resorting to culling the herd," said Marcuccio. "My fist concern is, what are you saying to children? If something's in your way, to just kill it? We have to manage the surplus, but you're talking about trying to do some kind of major event in a city which is heavily populated that already has gun control rules that prevent you from firing a fire arm within city limits."
While county and city officials work to figure out appropriate solutions for their jurisdictions, the impacts of deer overpopulation continue to present challenges to farmers and gardeners. The economic damage caused by deer eating farmers' crops is significant, as a single deer can consume up to 2,000 pounds of grain per year.
"In 2004, farmers came to the county government and said that the greatest threat to Montgomery County agriculture is the white-tailed deer," recounted Criss. The farmers showed aerial photos of their fields that illustrated stunning losses per acre.
"Well, people aren't going to buy half an ear of corn with a big bite out of it," said farmer Ben Allnutt of Homestead Farms, "and you can't have people coming in to pick strawberries and have them kneeling in deer poop."
Ten years ago, Homestead Farms was suffering such high crop losses due to deer browsing that they were at risk of going under. "We had to do something," said Allnutt. "We could go out of business, or put a fence up."
Allnutt invested around 65 thousand dollars to put up roughly 3.5 miles of fencing around 270 acres of crops. They used their own labor and planned to pay it back over five years, but the fence paid for itself in just two. "After two years, we were struggling with high yields," explained Allnutt. "When you don't have anything missing all of a sudden, you get a real handle on what they were actually consuming."
While farmers seek ways to mitigate crop damage on a larger scale, frustrated gardeners have turned to everything from cayenne pepper, coyote urine, and intricate nets and fencing to protect their plants. Sherrye Schenk at the Potomac Garden Center says that while they don't carry products that contain coyote urine because of inhumane collection methods, there are lots of other great products that work well if used correctly.
"If the plant is not edible, I would recommend a Liquid Fence. It's basically rotten eggs and garlic," said Schenk, adding that it can protect your garden against rabbits as well as deer. It's a spray, so it may wash away in heavy rain. "If you've got an all-day soaker, you may want to re-apply," said Schenk.
For vegetable gardens, Schenk recommends Deer Scram. "It's a powder, so just sprinkle a perimeter around your garden. It contains dried sow's blood, garlic, white pepper, and cloves. Animals think something has died there, so they avoid the area."
Putting up a physical barrier around your garden may work to keep deer out, but sometimes bucks' antlers can get caught in netting. "If you're doing fencing, you want to make sure it's at least 7 feet high, otherwise the deer will jump over it," added Schenk.
Meanwhile, deer over-browsing continues to throw forest ecosystems off balance. "It's a huge problem," said Forest Ecologist Carole Bergmann of the Montgomery County Department of Parks, which oversees 35,000 acres of parkland. "There are not many people to manage that area and a heck of a lot of deer," she explained.
Bergmann described a "browse line" that is easily visible in areas with high population densities of the keystone herbivore. "It's just a big blank space," said Bergmann. "If you walk in the woods, there's nothing from about 4 or 5 inches off the ground – no shrub layer, no understory layer – going all the way up to about 5 feet high where deer can't reach."
The effects can be seen all up and down the East Coast, and it is exacerbating the problem of invasive plant species. "Deer won't eat the invasives – they'll only feed on native plants," explained Bergmann. This further endangers native species that are already struggling to compete with the recently-introduced plants that are taking over.
In the face of a complex and growing problem, some remain optimistic. "Montgomery County is unique – they have one of the most proactive park systems in deer management in the country," said Brown. Unfortunately, officials face an uphill battle.
As Criss explained, "we've got a long ways to go, and in this economic environment, we're not going to have as many resources available to deal with the problem."

SQL U Class 3 – Objections to Cloud Computing
Class Description:
This Cloud Computing course at SQL University explains the Distributed Computing paradigms used by major vendors, and covers information useful to the data professional for implementing proper architecture designs.
Pre-Requisites: General computer programming data development terminology, industry experience in at least one of those disciplines
Instructor and Bio:
Buck Woody – Bio available at: http://buckwoody.com

In this class we'll focus on:
· What cloud computing is
· Where it can be used
· How it applies to you and your organization
Each day there will be a lecture, along with homework for the next class session. There will be a comprehensive final exam – it's contained primarily in your work environment!
Class 3 – Cloud Computing – Objections to Cloud Computing
Welcome to the third class in SQL University on "Cloud" computing. If you haven't had a chance to take a look at class one yet, you may want to switch to that post and learn about the definition of cloud computing, since I'll be using those terms today.
In computing's short history, we've moved from a centralized model (mainframes and large datacenter systems) to a distributed set of computing (LANs and WANs). We've worked quite hard over the last couple of decades moving away from the mainframe, to owning the systems and infrastructure where we run our code.
The "cloud" however, is a kind of return to centralized computing, at least as far as control of the underlying systems applies. So it's natural, especially at the non-architect level of IT, to question parts of the cloud paradigm. Most often there's a misunderstanding that an organization should take all of the on-premise infrastructure and code and move it to "the cloud". This would be a mistake. Distributed Computing systems like Windows and SQL Azure are well suited to certain situations (see class two) and not as well for others.
There are, however, some legitimate concerns about moving to a Distributed Computing environment. And there are some equally valid responses. In today's class I'll address the three primary objections I've heard most often.
Paradigm Shift
"I've spent 20+ years moving to direct-connected computing. When I hear "Cloud" I think I need to replace everything I have, a very daunting task mixed into my already busy day."
The answer to this concern involves two areas – computing history and technical vision. As I mentioned earlier, we have moved from a centralized model once before – in fact, I hear the exact same concern there – to a distributed LAN environment. Now the industry is moving to a more centralized model using a Distributed Computing paradigm (some computing on-premise, some in an IaaS, some in PaaS, others in SaaS), and there is some inertia to get over for it to take hold.
It's also important to think about the vision of computing, and its purpose. If the goal is to control hardware and install operating systems, then on-premise only is a good way to go. But that should be a means to an end – the goal should be to enable the organization with technology. After an honest, thorough investigation, perhaps one of the cloud paradigms makes sense for a certain application. In that case, implement that application and move on to the next investigation. Many shops have already done this with things like Payroll or web services. They simply use a SaaS for that.
"I know my own security. I control the process from end-to-end, and my data is within my four walls. If I put my programs on the web I'm faced with the client, network, and vendor's levels of security. That's just too big a risk."
Probably the most frequently asked question (at least directly) is about security in the cloud. And it's a valid concern. When data leaves your organization, you need to be certain how it will be handled and who will have access to it.
There are several ways to think about this issue. The first is to understand your data, and which parts of it require high levels of security. If a particular datum requires a very high level of security, you can simply use a hybrid approach and not put the data in the cloud at all. You can make the result of the data (such as a "Yes, customer charge is approved") or a result (101.12) back to the calling cloud application. This is possible in Windows Azure using the Application Fabric, and in fact is at use in many locations.
Another approach is to deeply encrypt the data prior to sending it to a Distributed Computing system. There are code factories that do this, appliances and other hardware devices that allow you to encrypt and decrypt data prior to transmission. Many ATM machines use this paradigm.
The final thought here is that security is in three parts in a Distributed Computing environment: The facilities and hardware, the operating system and environment where the cloud provider runs, and the code you write (in the case of a PaaS solution). I discuss these areas further in this learning plan: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckwoody/archive/2010/12/07/windows-azure-learning-plan-security.aspx
"We've worked really hard tuning everything from the hardware to the network to get our programs running this quickly. There's no way the web can handle that kind of speed"
This concern is completely true – if the architecture of the application doesn't change. The basic premise for a Distributed Computing system is that you should always try and co-locate the data payload close to the computing resources. In Windows Azure, you can choose where your data store is, and a wise choice is often to co-locate the code and the data.
Once again, making the selection for the proper application to move to the cloud is essential. If you plan to import and export terabytes of data each day to support a Business Intelligence system, then the latency question becomes a bigger issue. If, however, you can locate all that data in the cloud to begin with, process it there and deliver a much smaller report on a screen, the problem is mitigated. It all goes back to design and application candidates.
Even with large sets of data, caching, trickle-feeds and so on can also work in your favor. There is more on this topic specifically addressing SQL Azure here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cbiyikoglu/archive/2010/01/05/evaluating-application-performance-and-throughput-in-sql-azure.aspx

Good question. I've yet to meet one.Then Buddhism in Japan needs a modern Dogen or Saicho. Where is/are s/he/they?
I don't think religious certifications should be issued from internet programs. Any yahoo with a computer and internet connection can be certified regardless of whatever type of person they are in real life and then with those "certifications" screw people over and mislead a lot of people who think they're legitimate representatives of the sangha.Online programs can have credibility. Solely online religious qualifications are not viewed as legitimate. But if a person establishes themselves solidly afterwards with positive bodhisattvic activity them thay can overcome this difficulty. Ordination in general is a good thing from a social/governmental perspective. In Washington DC they give ministers an extra 2 minutes of time before the city council for ministers. Homeless/jobless/hungry people generally don't care where help is coming from as long as effective help can be marshaled.
It will lead to a lot of problems.
If you're that serious about being ordained, then you should be willing to enter a seminary or directly train under a master somewhere. If you cant deal with that then just be a devout and supportive lay person.

!! ATTENTION !! For the correct operation of the update, you should start at the "Check resources" launcher or download Resource.rar from our website and unpack it to the Resource folder
Since there have been no updates for a long time, and so it happened that this month, namely 6.10 is my birthday, could not make a quick update anymore because I was supposed to divide the update into 3 smaller parts and release them in a month.
Update Part 1/3
1) Arena Trader was added 52 new types of wings.
2) The award (Arena Points) in the battle arena was raised 2 times.
3) The maximum level of the character is now 215.
4) Reduced the cost of the cubes (Attacks and Defenses) + 1-20 to 100 Arena Points.
5) Fixed music in the game, before it was not.
6) Buff +999 now disappears when the pet is re-summoned / killed.
7) To cash shop was added :
Crystal of Awakening - Boots
Crystal of Awakening - Gloves
Crystal of Awakening - Helmet
In parts 2 and 3 you will see for a balance of 9.5, a new armor (body, boots, gloves, helmet) for 205 level, the item for update stats any wings for the arena points the following characteristics of the characteristics: 25% to all characteristics, 3 cells for stones 30 days), new decorative things, new assignments and much more
Also started work on a new launcher that will work faster, automatically check for updates and update the game if necessary and support multiple languages (in the beginning there will be Russian, English, Italian, but in the future we plan to add German, Spanish, Arabic, French and a few more languages)
Also in the Cash shop, a 30% discount was activated until 10/10/2017!

Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe today entered a formal written plea of not guilty to charges of DUI and careless driving stemming from his arrest early in the morning of March 21.
Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe entered a written plea of not guilty Thursday to charges of driving under the influence and careless driving.
The plea came one week after Lowe's arrest in the early morning hours of March 21, when he crashed his 2005 Honda Civic in northeast Alachua County around 2:20 a.m., according to a Florida Highway Patrol arrest report.
His car had major damage to its front, and all four tires were deflated after the wreck.
Lowe performed poorly on field sobriety tests and registered a .069 and .061 on a blood-alcohol breath test administered at the jail about four hours after the crash, according to the FHP.
Two days before the crash, Lowe had advanced to an April 16 runoff for mayor against former two-term City Commissioner Ed Braddy. While serving on the City Commission in January 2006, Braddy also was arrested for DUI. He pleaded no contest to the charges.
Lowe had been scheduled for an arraignment on April 11, a little less than a week before the runoff. That hearing is now canceled, according to court records. A pretrial conference is now scheduled for April 24, after the mayoral runoff, court records show.
State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer Mann said it is common for a defendant's attorney to submit a written notice of appearance and a written plea.
"It's not unusual," Mann said. "It happens every day."
Lowe's attorneys also filed a demand for all of the state's evidence against him.
Lowe could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
The law firm of Hertz & Kearns released a statement on Lowe's behalf. It read, in part:
"A plea of not guilty, being filed, permits the attorney and the client additional time to discuss the charges, the options the client has with respect to those charges, and to conduct additional investigation, if needed. Filing a written plea of not guilty waives the client's appearance as well as the attorney's appearance in court on the date of the arraignment."

I hear stories about insecure web servers and sites which people (or bots) break into and execute their own code on the server.
My question is how is that possible? I heard of people putting their own javascript on websites stealing cookies and techniques how to do that. I never heard of actual attacks to execute code. I know mysql injections can be used to steal data and put in javascript code on pages. But i am still having trouble thinking of how the weakness of a site can compromise a server. How is that possible?

Given that five of the Top 15 teams in the country — and three of the Top Five — saw its unbeaten seasons go up in flames Saturday, it was expected that there would be a significant shakeup in the latest release of the Associated Press rankings.
As expected, the, uh, expected has happened.
Florida, 14-6 winners over then-No. 4 LSU, was the biggest beneficiaries of a weekend rife with upsets, moving all the way from No. 10 to No. 4. South Carolina and West Virginia, which beat then-N. 5 Georgia and then-No. 11 Texas, respectively, also jumped into the Top Five at No. 3 and No. 5, respectively. That poll position for the Gamecocks is the school's highest since the 1984 season.
Alabama and Oregon maintained their 1-2 positions from a week ago. The Tide, which has been No. 1 since the the polls that came out following Week 1, received all 60 first-place votes.
The Seminoles and Bulldogs took the biggest tumbles of the weekend, each dropping nine spots. FSU is now No. 12 while UGA is No. 14. Despite the road loss to the Gators, LSU remained inside the Top 10, coming in at No. 9. Texas, which lost to WVU, dropped from No. 11 to No. 15.
There were also two other new teams inside the Top 10: Ohio State (No. 8, up from No. 12) and Oregon State (No. 10, up from No. 14). The remainder of the Top 10 consists of Kansas State (No. 6) and Notre Dame (No. 7).
A total of five teams dropped from the rankings, with none taking a bigger tumble than TCU. The Horned Frogs came into Week 6 No. 15, but the loss to Iowa State ended both its nation's-longest winning streak and its poll run. Nebraska (then-No. 21), Washington (No. 23), Northwestern (No. 24) and UCLA (No. 25) all dropped out following losses. Replacing that quintet are Cincinnati (No. 21), Texas A&M (No. 22), Louisiana Tech (No. 23), Boise State (No. 25) and Michigan (No. 25).
Tech, incidentally and albeit at least a couple of weeks too late, enters the rankings for the first time since 1999.
(Writer's note: now, voters, with the egregiousness that was an unranked Tech squad taken care of, let's get on with cleaning up this Ohio Bobcats issue. Thanks in advance.)
