Exchange 2010 has issues with Disclaimer Messages
Profile: Yasir Irfan
Recently we enabled Disclaimer message in Exchange 2010 Server. After enabling the disclaimer message we could see the disclaimer message was forwarded as footer with all the outgoing emails from our users. However vast majority of users including me faced issues in the delivery of certain emails. They were never delivered to the intended recipients.
At the same time I was also working on creating certain polices for outgoing emails in our Cisco C370 Iron Port email gateways. Which certainly misguided us to troubleshoot the problem. We thought may be some issues with the Iron Port policies, but upon deep troubleshooting we discovered that Iron Port has no issues and it was working fine.
When we started tracking the messages in Exchange 2010 Server we discovered some of the emails were not delivered and they were on the poison queue. Upon lot of investigation we discovered there is an unknown bug in Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 SP3.
Still Microsoft has no concrete solution to resolve this issue except disabling the disclaimer message. Microsoft support Engineer suggested us to use any third party tools for disclaimer mail. Meanwhile we were asked to use the interim update provided by them but still the issue was not resolved. Which is quite strange for us. We were forced disabled the disclaimer message in Exchange 2010 for the normal operation and delivery of our important emails.
As our Email Security Policy Clearly defines to have a disclaimer message, thank god Iron Port is such an amazing appliance we could able to configure the disclaimer message in the Iron Port device which I will share in upcoming post.

How Our Rugs Work
About Our RugsFinally, rugs you can wash! Ruggable's 2-piece Rug System features a waterproof, stain-resistant and machine-washable Rug Cover and a non-slip Rug Pad—perfect for your living room, bedroom, entryway, or kitchen. And because our area rugs and runners are hypoallergenic and made from non-toxic materials, they're safe to use around kids and pets.
How to WashThe Rug Cover, once removed from the underlying Rug Pad, can fit comfortably in a standard or large capacity top or front load washer (with or without an agitator). Our 8' x 10', 6' x 9' and 5' x 7' rugs can fit in a 3.8 cubic feet washer, while our 2.5' x 7' and 3' x 5' sizes can fit in a 2.2 cubic feet compact washer. We recommend using a mild, non-bleach detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Dry on low; avoid high heat. You may also hang and air-dry if necessary.
The Rug Pad can't be placed in the washer and dryer, but it can be spot-cleaned using a standard, non-bleach household disinfectant or warm soapy water.

A vehicle caught on fire, and caused the patio garage it was parked underneath to go up in flames. Luckily the local Fire Department was able to put it out before it spread to the other apartment units.
If you've experienced a fire at your home or business call SERVPRO of Arcadia for our restoration services.
The refrigerator hose in the kitchen was the cause that started this all. Due to high amount of moisture, the cabinets became saturated, warped and began to grow mold. Mold must be removed immediately, so we can prevent it from spreading.
This is how close the Creek Fire was to one of our customers homes. Soot and smoke entered through their ventilation system and spread throughout their home. It also got on the exterior part of the home. This home was thoroughly cleaned inside out and made it, "Like it never even happened."
After the recent fires, our storm team advises those who live close to the fires to have their homes tested for soot. This is a picture of soot that was taken from the surface of a wall inside a home.
If you begin noticing stains like this on your ceiling tiles, chances are you have water leaking. We advise you to have a professional come take a look and stop it from becoming a water damage.
One of our SERVPRO employees during an inventory pack out. This takes place at a commercial warehouse in Bellflower, Ca. Cause of loss was a fire that started from a faulty wire.
Catastrophic events can happen at anytime. Although, you can never truly be ready for such events, SERVPRO of Arcadia is! We are open 24-hours 7 days a week, which allows us to be ready to be on the move when we get the call from you.
Our storm team is currently on the field removing soot from homes and contents that were damaged by the recent Ventura Fire. If you or anyone you know, believe that your property has been affected, call SERVPRO of Arcadia for a free estimate.
In the recent weeks Southern California has been impacted by many massive wildfires, such as the Thomas Fire. SERVPRO of Arcadia is part of the STORM Team which helps communities rebuild during hurricanes, fires and tornadoes. If you've been impacted by these fires, call us today for assistance.
This is a mold containment we set up in the living room of one our customers homes. The home sustained damage due to a break in one of the water lines. Since the affected area was highly saturated in water, mold began to develop. Our technicians were able to mitigate the damage and perform a mold remediation.
This picture shows mold growth that was caused by a water damage that occurred due to rain water. The roof of the home had missing shingles therefore resulting in water intrusion. A couple weeks had passed when the homeowner began to notice mold growing on the ceiling of their master bedroom.
This picture shows mold growth that occurred after the home sustained water damage from rain water. A few months had passed by when the homeowner was able to visibly see the mold growing from the baseboard.
This picture depicts the aftermath of the Thomas Fire and the damage it has caused to thousands of homes.This home was just a few miles away from the fire and sustained substantial soot damage.
Many homes and businesses have been affected, due to the recent wildfires. This a job, we did where we placed multiple air scrubbers in different locations of the business. Air scrubbers are used to filter the air and eliminate odors from contaminated areas.
What do you do if you wake up in the middle of the night to an overflown toilet? I'll tell you what to do, call SERVPRO! We here at SERVPRO of Arcadia are open 24/7 and are committed to be at your service, no matter what time or day it is.
We here at SERVPRO of Arcadia are no strangers to Sunday barbecues! The following are tips to help prevent ruining your bbq because your house is on fire:
Catastrophic events such as the recent SoCal fires are no joke. Our prayers go out to all of those who were unfortunate enough to be apart of this disaster. SERVPRO of Arcadia is apart of one of the largest emergency restoration team and our priority is to make your loss, "Like it never even happened."
This picture shows a mold containment at a local school. Mold containments are used to secure the work area and prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas. Thus, preventing cross contamination.
Soot is a black carbonaceous substance that is caused by an incomplete burning of organic matter. Trying to clean this on your own may lead to frustration and more damage to your property. However, we here at SERVPRO have the proper equipment and products to remove the soot and make it "Like it never even happened."
This picture shows mold growth after a water damage that went undetected for some time. Our customer complained of a foul odor. After a thorough inspection and upon cutting the affected material, we discovered extensive mold growth.
Water damages can be complicated, especially when the water seeps into the walls. Drilling holes behind the base boards or base coves allows for ventilation to effectively dry the area.
Have a large water disaster? Well, have no fear! Our large desiccant dehumidifier will surely be able to help solve your problem. With the assistance of a desiccant dehu, we are able to capture the moisture from a commercial or industrial building at a faster rate.
This water damage occurred when the dispensary water line burst. The water migrated into the hallways and into the auditorium. We were able to extract the water and dry the structure completely within 5 days.
This is the SERVPRO corporate warehouse located in Gallatin, Tennessee where all our products are manufactured. The raw materials are mixed, packaged and then shipped to several SERVPRO locations nationwide.
Our training facility at our corporate office in Gallatin, Tennessee. This is where our new owners and production crew receive rigorous training to develop the skills and knowledge they will need in order to help our customers during a fire or flood.
Here's a board up we installed in a home that was vandalized. The sliding glass door in the master bedroom was shattered during the home invasion. SERVPRO helped secure the door until new glass could be installed.
We are fortunate to have a company who believes in continued education and training its staff.
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
- Benjamin Franklin
Our desiccant drying 45,000 sq ft. of flood damage caused by the recent rain that has affected many areas in Southern California. Including this warehouse in North Hollywood. SERVPRO of Arcadia was able to dry the entire structure within a few days with minimal business interruption.
SERVPRO of Arcadia had a wonderful time at the Taste of Arcadia 2016! We passed out information and goodies!
We enjoyed tasting all the local restaurants and leaning about local businesses that came to support!
BIG thank you to our friends at The Arcadia Chamber Of Commerce for putting the amazing event together!
Cant wait for next year!
This was an aftermath of a fire damage at a local market. We arrived at the scene after the local fire department turned the fire off.
SERVPRO went in cleaned up, set up equipment (dehumidifiers, air scubbers) and removed all debris.
We got referred by a local construction company.
They were working to build a new apartment complex in Los Angeles. Then we got hit with a little rain storm, it poured into the construction site which made it a high risk of mold growth!
SERVPRO of Arcadia went in and dried the areas affected so the construction company can continue the project.
Steve Lopez and Julio Flores getting the generator started. We use the generator when we deal with homes and commercial buildings that lost power due to a water damage or even a fire damage.
We set up the equipment using generators.
Irene Jimenez and Suzie Krikorian set up Emergency Ready Profiles for the local school district! We got the schools ready for any type of disaster. SERVPRO knows how much easier life can be when you PLAN ahead!
For Emergency Ready Profile information check out our blog!
Steve Lopez and Irene Jimenez are IICRC certified which means they have the knowledge and certification to deal with any type of water damage! Congratulations to the both of you!

2006 Alfa See Ya! Review
A different kind of Class A
The See Ya! incorporates a clean, tall design (131) putting the A/C unit in the basement and lifting the inside height to a stretched 76. This extra height has spawned extra cupboards, taller slideouts, ceiling fans and larger windows throughout the coach.
Built on a Freightliner chassis my 40 tester came with a standard 350 horsepower, 7.2L turbocharged diesel CAT engine and an Allison 3000 six-speed automatic transmission. Its this raised rail chassis that houses all the HVAC components as well as the distribution ductwork. Unlike many motorhomes that split their ducts between ceiling and floor for hot and cold the Alfa uses a 27,000 BTU residential style A/C unit with a heat pump. It draws air off the ceiling at the rear of the coach, filters it, chills it and redistributes it through the floor vents. Because it recirculates air rather than continually drawing in outside air (like most roof units) the coachs interior is cooler, plus the 3x17 duct run is shorter and the HVAC runs more efficiently not to mention the lowered noise factor. Frankly, all that aside, I like the clean look of an uninterrupted roof line.
The other difference I see, when it comes to climate control, is the standard insulation in this coach. All windows are dual pane, the 2- 3/8 thick walls are rated at R-11 while the roof and floors are all R-20. A pair of ceiling fans is standard (one above the bed, the other in the salon) and engine HVAC is well vented from the front of the coach. In addition there is a standard automatic Fan-Tastic fan, bathroom fan and three six-inch swiveling circulation fans (two on the windshield and one for the likely rear passenger seating area) Add to all this electric sun visors and black-out mini-blinds for maximum environmental control.
As you might have already guessed, one aspect of the Alfas different construction is an extensive standard list of features. This is a marketing blade though that cuts both ways. For some folks having everything provided is a blessing they can buy a package and skip the worry of ordering options. But, there are buyers who want to do those things themselves either as a customization exercise or as way of controlling their costs. The See Ya! definitely caters to the first group. The reasoning (I was told by the dealer) is that by building on a so called cookie cuter basis the price, on average, comes down. That then appears to be the trade-off and judging from current sales of all three models of the Alfa it seems to be working.
To put it in context the See Ya! is the first of the Alfa motorhomes to be introduced more than five years ago now while the upscale Gold model was added as demand grew. Most recently a basic entry-level coach called the Founder has brought the number of models to three. Among these trim levels there are two lengths (36 and 40-feet) and five floorplans. In keeping with their pricing strategy options on all versions are kept to a minimum.
This brings me back to my tester which pretty much sits in the middle of these offerings feature-wise and price-wise. The number to keep in mind as I list off the standard features is about $225,000 - MSRP for the 40-foot diesel pusher I was testing.
Different, once again, in the See Ya! means that the designer opted for three slideouts rather than the currently more popular four. Reason being two-fold. The standard motorized awning that gives full coverage would be compromised and block access to the basement pull-out entertainment center that has a 19 TV, refrigerator, stereo and space and hookups for all the necessary bar-b-que stuff. Still, inside, the salon space doesnt suffer as the single slide is 42-inches deep with headroom of six-feet.
This deep single slide offers up almost as much total width as two smaller opposing slides.
The bathroom in my tester was all together and featured a corner shower with glass door and a huge domed skylight (with a shade). The toilet is china and the counter has a large medicine cabinet with mirror. Move into the bedroom and see that the one wall (enclosed in one slideout) is dominated by a cedar-lined bedroom wardrobe with mirrored doors. The opposing slide contains a dressing and makeup table with a large tip-out laundry hamper underneath.
The queen-size bed has convenient (flexible) reading lights and a picture on the right side opens to reveal hidden outlets, switches and various controls for the rest of the coach.
I know I love a fans breeze at night and I was happy to see the second built-in ceiling fan above the bed. A flat screen TV on a wall mounted pedestal finishes up the room nicely.
Speaking of TVs and entertainment in general, the See Ya! comes loaded. Four TVs in all including the outside basement one and these are powered by a satellite receiver as well as portable satellite dish (in case the fixed dish is obstructed) or course there is also a regular TV antenna with booster. As for music start with an in-dash stereo, CD and Sirius satellite radio. Add to that a six disc CD changer, amplifier, four salon speakers, plus two each in the bedroom and basement with three-volume controls.
One problem with describing the See Ya! Is that it gets to sounding like one long features list, yet the key items that make the unit different are actually part of the design. These include a host of things like: dimmer switches; sealable storage containers; a step-ladder and a spot to store it; a grab handle by the dump station; the large windows; a washer/dryer combo that has its overflow line run outside; a flip up dashboard for easy service; pass-through kitchen waste basket; - and the list goes on. If you are in the market, the Alfa line deserves a look.

A Right Royal Affair!
Sunday, 1 May 2011
'The Royal Wedding' was something I never thought I would get excited about but I got sucked into the wedding fever and ended up ridiculously excited for April 29th! We had cider and cupcakes whilst watching the happy couple then made our way over to the Northern Quarter Street Party which was pretty special! It was so busy and the atmosphere was just amazing - safe to say I felt a little worse for wear in work the next day...

Spider veins on legs, facial veins, nasal veins are unsightly and are easily treatable. A new generation of lasers has paved the way for safe, non-intrusive treatments, delivering a precision based treatment through a series of brief but measured pulses.
How Does Oo La La Cosmetic Laser Clinic Treat Spider Veins, Varicose Veins and Rosacea?
We offer highly effective laser options through the Quanta Duetto and Ellipse Multiplex platforms. Should you not be suitable for these procedures, we have other modalities of treatment which are equally effective. This includes Veingoh, Pelleve and Sclerotherapy.
The Procedure
Before treatment can commence, our doctor will review your medical history to determine the severity and longevity of the problem, the cause and the best therapy. If approved, during treatment, you may experience a heating sensation during the pulse series – it shouldn't be uncomfortable.
The Results
Return treatments and results depend on the size and location of your problem veins. Allow for 3 – 5 weeks between sessions and note the appearance of any new veins. Veins disappear within 2 to 6 weeks and there is no downtime to worry about.
Get In Touch
For more information about laser facial veins & redness, please call us on (07) 5539 9534 or contact us to arrange a consultation at our Surfers Paradise location.

A social media diet for the social media reticent co-founder
My friend and co-founder @anselmelevan is not very active on Twitter. I think he doesn't see the benefits of the platform and still thinks it's something where people talk about what they're eating.
On my end, I've been on Twitter since 2008 and still think it is one of the best things ever. I also think that it can be a great customer discovery channel for our company, MadKudu.
So I'm trying a 30-day pass/fail experiment to see if I can get him:
- to enjoy the platform
- a decent following
I could have sent him an email, but I'm pretty sure there might be other cofounders (or VP Marketing) out there with a similar issue. So, I've decided to over-share this.
We're starting at 19 tweets, 27 following and 33 followers. Let's see where this can go. I'll probably amend this as the experiment progress.
Base rules #
Rule #1: Make your twitter feed interesting for you. #
If your feed sucks, you're not going to want to use twitter.
Rule #2: Be natural. #
Tweet about stuff you care about. If you try to hide behind a persona it will get boring. See rule #1
Rule #3: Don't just retweet the corporate account tweets. #
That's just plain boring. Why would I follow the CEO if I'm already following the corporate account? Except the guy behind the other account actually engages with me.
Rule #4: Engage with people #
Twitter can be great as a content feed, but I've had my best experiences when I was able to engage with people on a consistent basis. It's a great place to test ideas, ask for help or simply be useful. Its main advantage is not having any of the conventions of email.
(Note: Accounts that are just one-way publishing platforms are just plain boring. Unfollow them)
Rule #5: Persevere. #
Twitter can be a vapid place (live-tweets of the VMAs, stupid hashtags). It can also be a fascinating place where you see things you won't see anywhere else (#Ferguson)
Daily regimen #
Tweet two interesting articles a day. #
Whenever you read something cool, post it to Twitter.
Don't use (only) the article title in the tweet. Make it personal.
If the author of the article is on twitter, mention them in the tweet
Follow 5 new persons a day #
Make it an habit of following 5 new people of day. Don't worry about following too many people. Just unfollow when someone starts not being relevant.
Engage with one tweet per day #
When you see an interesting link or article, engage with the author. At worst, do a simple retweet. At best, ask a question or add something to the conversation.
Ask openly for something once per week #
Have a passing question to which you don't know the answer? Try asking openly on Twitter once a week. You might be surprised.
The goal here is to spend less than 10 minutes per day. Don't spend more for now. I need you somewhere else ;-)
Other tips to add?

It's Complicated: the social lives of networked teens by danah boyd
Reading: It's Complicated: the social lives of networked teens by danah boyd. You can download the PDF of the book for free, or buy a dead-tree copy from the usual suspects.
The topics covered are:
- Identity – why do teens seem strange online?
- Privacy - why do youth share so publicly?
- Addiction – what makes teens obsessed with social media?
- Danger – are sexual predators lurking everywhere?
- Bullying – is social media amplifying meanness and cruelty?

The LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) initiative was developed at Stanford University. Portico emanated from the JSTOR project as its archiving program. Both efforts are now funded by member libraries in addition to significant grant support from the Mellon Foundation and other agencies.
The basic principle of LOCKSS is that content is continuously compared among servers at hundreds of member libraries and differences are corrected. The system regularly crawls target publication sites to verify content and add new material. Content is preserved in the format supplied by publishers. As formats change, LOCKSS will convert content through "transparent [to the user] format migration" at the point of access.
CLOCKSS, or Controlled LOCKSS, is an offshoot of the LOCKSS program. Content is archived at publisher sites and a group of selected libraries (Indiana University, NYPL, and others). The LOCKSS software verifies and updates content within this small network of participants.
The basic principle of Portico is to create an archive from publisher source files that have been converted to a standard format. The archive is migrated forward en masse as formats change.
All of these archives allow access to the archive when certain trigger events occur. At LOCKSS libraries, requests for materials are sent to the publisher site, and if the content is not retrieved for any reason, the LOCKSS copy is provided. The transaction is not apparent to the user with one exception: dynamic content, e.g., advertisements or graphics that change with each screen display, remains static. Publishers must agree to participate in the LOCKSS program. Currently, there are about fifty publishers who participate in LOCKSS, and most have agreed to allow their subscribers to use the service as a backup system.
Portico is a dark archive, allowing access only when content is no longer available because of a trigger event, such as a publisher ceasing operations or its delivery platform fails. The trigger event must result in a sustained loss of access. At present, Portico has about thirty participating publishers, and there is a growing list of publishers who are specifying Portico as their archive.
Costs: Portico fees for Rutgers would be between $14,000 and $15,000 annually. LOCKSS software is open-source and freely available, however, participants are expected to join the LOCKSS alliance. The annual fee for LOCKSS ranges from $1,080 - $10,800. Consortia discounts may be available for both Portico and LOCKSS.
Comparison: The list of participating publishers for each service provides the best point of comparison (as opposed to title-by-title). The LOCKSS publisher list is deeper than Portico's at this point. On the other hand, Portico's list includes the publishers of RUL's most expensive digital resources, such as Elsevier and IEEE.
LOCKSS requires more staff resources than Portico, and participating libraries must provide their own equipment (typically a standard desktop PC) to run the LOCKSS software. The service requires set-up and ongoing administration, and new content must be targeted. After LOCKSS is implemented, staff time is relatively minimal at most sites.
LOCKSS and Portico are different products, and both have advantages and disadvantages. LOCKSS provides access to stored content whenever publisher sites are unavailable, even for brief periods of downtime. LOCKSS is a real-time backup solution more than it is an archive. Portico is a true archive, preserving digital content in a standard format for the long term. CLOCKSS preserves content in the publisher's original format (not a standard archival format). Access to CLOCKSS content is similar to the Portico model, however. Trigger events must result in a sustained loss of access, and content is released only after participating publishers and libraries review the situation.
Recommendation: In an ideal world, Rutgers would participate in both LOCKSS and Portico: LOCKSS to provide real-time access when content is unavailable, and Portico to provide long-term archival preservation of expensive digital resources. The decision should be based on what we hope to achieve. If our goal is to provide real-time access when service is interrupted for any reason, LOCKSS is the solution. Portico should be our choice if the goal is long-term preservation. It must be recognized that neither service provides complete coverage of our digital resources. At best, perhaps fifty percent of our purchased content is available on one or the other at this point in time.

Finches For Sale
Yellow Wing Pytilia Finches
The yellow wing pytilia was once rare but is now quite common. It is a bird that most finch breeders are not familiar with or not interested in, but has very few requirements, e.g. red pannicum, seeding grasses, live food and water.
It is very placid in a mixed collection. It is easy to sex as both birds have the yellow wing but the male has the red face.
These birds will build their own nest in the brush or will use a finch nest box but do like a small plant pot with an open end attached to the wall. They mainly breed through the cooler months but some pairs will nest all year round.
Current yellow wing pytilia finches for sale.
We currently have yellow wing pytilias for sale at Broken Head Aviaries. Please contact us to enquire into purchasing the current stock.
- Unrelated young Pairs
- Fully Coloured
- All yellow wing pytilia pairs come from a large range of bloodlines.
Stock available for purchase now. Please contact us to register your interest in buying yellow wing pytilia finches.
For other enquiries about these or other varieties of finches, please contact us.

Sweden's Handelsbanken said on Monday it had decided to close down its proprietary trading in foreign exchange and fixed income in New York and sold off a large part of its exposure to U.S. asset-backed securities.
"As a consequence of the change, the bank has divested a significant part of its exposure to U.S. asset-backed securities. The sale comprises the bank's entire exposure to asset-backed securities (AAA) secured by credit card receivables (SEK 11bn year-end 2007)," it said in a statement. "The total profit & loss account effect of the divested portfolio in the period is thus -767 million and the amount booked directly against the Bank's equity SEK 97m."
The bank added that the combined impact on the liquidity portfolio from changes in market values as of March 28 totalled a negative 946 million Swedish crowns ($159 million) in the profit and loss account.

Puppies: Expectations vs. Reality
The people that will have the easiest time raising a puppy, are those that have realistic expectations for what a puppy is capable of, and the amount of structure that is required in raising them. Here are the most common gaps between an owner's expectation and the reality of welcoming a puppy into your home.
#1 Snuggle Time
People expect to log lots of snuggle time with their pup. They dream of running their hands over their puppy's soft coat, as the puppy takes a loud exhale and curls up contentedly by their side.
The reality is that at times that you want to snuggle, your puppy will be more interested in using your hands and clothing as a chew toy. You will wonder if you brought home a puppy or a piranha.
#2 Puppy Proofing
People expect that "puppy proofing" is a fairly simple process. They think, "how much trouble could this little guy get into?" And they reject the idea of crates, baby gates, and exercise pens as being too restrictive.
The reality is that a puppy's brain is built for exploration and creativity, and will find objects you didn't even know you owned. He will bite, pull and/or shred anything that's not nailed to the ground. You've bought a plethora of different chew toys, but his default is always to pull at the threads of the rug, or chew on table legs when he feels bored.
#3 Exercise
People expect long walks that will not only burn the puppy's energy, but will also help them to fulfill their new year's resolution to exercise more. A match made in heaven.
The reality is that you will walk 20 feet from your house before your puppy freezes. When you put pressure on the leash to urge the puppy along, he will dig in his heels. He would rather sit still and take in the sights, sounds and smells of his new environment than go on a 20 minute walk. If and when your puppy does start to walk, it will be at a snail's pace. You will have walked approximately 100 feet over the course of 30 minutes because he's so busy sniffing and/or picking up every leaf, twig and cigarette butt (eww).
#4 Potty Time
People expect potty training to be a pretty straight forward process. Puppy has an accident? Lead him over to the accident, show him what's he's done, be stern. Rinse and repeat and in no time puppy will learn not to potty in the house. Leaving the back door open or installing a dog door will make the whole process effortless, since the puppy will take himself out when nature calls.
The reality is that your puppy learns very quickly that you are prone to fits of rage when you see urine or feces. So he considerately "holds it" until you're out of sight, or looking the other way. Going outside is an option, but creeping into the back room or behind the couch also produces the same outcome. So why not?
#5 Jumping
Your cute puppy runs up to you when you arrive home, and jumps up to lick your face. You melt. You coo and pet the puppy. The more excited the puppy is, the better it feels, so you rev the puppy. When friends and family visit you are warmed by his display of friendliness and proudly stand back watching how free and wild he is when expressing his love. He does the same thing with people he meets on walks, and you can't imagine how this could ever be a problem. The expectation is that the puppy will grow out of this type of "puppy behavior" .... so you might as well soak it in while you can.
The reality is that puppies get better and better at every behavior they practice. Behavior builds! By the time your puppy is a year old you will have an adult dog that goes wild when anyone walks into the house. Long red welts will appear on legs, scratches from the claws of a dog that was very effectively "trained" to demonstrate his love and affection in this manner from a very early age.
#6 The "Non-Barker"
People bring home a 2 month old puppy, and after 2 or 3 weeks confidently declare to their family and friends that they have a non-barker. There is a tremendous amount of relief associated with this, because they know how difficult it can be to live with a very vocal dog. They expect that the behavior that they see now is constant, or at the very least, leaves little room for deviation.
The reality is that most dogs only find their "voice" in their adolescence or in early adulthood. There is no correlation between the time at which your dog begins barking, and the frequency or intensity with which they will bark as an adult.
#7 Backyard Dogs
Many people decide to get a dog because they have a great backyard. A lot of times they put in a dog door so that the dog has a choice. Or they keep the inside off-limits altogether at certain times during the day. The expectation is that the puppy will be more content outside with more stimulation, and less likely to get into trouble.
The reality is that a puppy or adult dog that is unsupervised outside (whether it's their choice or not) is likely to get into a whole host of problems. They frequently dig up the garden, or with passing time, become hyper-territorial around the fence-line. They are also more likely to vocalize from boredom, or scratch at the back door from frustration. The anxiety and frustration resulting from this type of isolation can manifest into other more serious behavioral issues over time.
Here is a link to a blog I wrote, that briefly touches on different ways to cope with common "puppy problems." It's called Eight Quick Tips for Raising a Puppy.

Design & production of Motor Yacht "Pttara" has been done by certain experienced in-house teams of the shipyard. From the preliminary design stage until the current condition, each step has been achieved by computer aided design and production methods. (CAD + CAM). Therefore, the 3D design advantages have also been added to the production at any stage.
At creating stage, main request from this yacht was having a sleek & modern viewed boat with large & fresh interior. Its length kept as 42.5 m (140') to be able to provide a boat, big enough to sail on the open seas & oceans and compact enough to anchor at the small bays of Mediterranean. Finally, the profile resulted successfully with its sleek and contemporary look. Therefore, to fulfill the fresh interior request; size of the salons & cabins kept very big and bright, within illusion of very wide windows.
Production stages have also been achieved carefully and well planned. As a critical path, during the block erection stages, the certified welders have followed the 'welding sequence' rules strictly to avoid deformation from the hull & superstructure surfaces. Ultimately, on the boat, all these surfaces have been well faired; so it has been managed to reduce the duration & cost of cosmetic paint finishing (filler application & painting).

This is one of those bands with a massive, mycoplasmosis intimidating discography that I'd never bothered to crack — until a few days ago. Allmusic sez:
With a glut of industrial-pop hybrids on the market in the 1980s and '90s, look several bands stayed true to the experimental nature of early industrial music. The Psychic TV axis alone spawned many creative artists, page including Current 93′s David Tibet, who blends Gothic chanting and haunting atmospherics with industrial noisescapes courtesy of tape loops and synthesizers.
And, Trouser Press sez:
Named after some theory or other of English mage Aleister Crowley, Current 93′s early work used Crowley and Lautréament's Maldoror as the starting points for an occult trip tinged with tragic grandeur. David Michael Bunting (aka David Tibet) is the group's core, with significant assistance from Steve Stapleton of Nurse with Wound. The motto on early albums is "How can there be pleasure, how can there be joy, when the whole world is burning?" On later albums, Tibet finds some joy, though the listener may not, as the music is far less compelling.
This is one of those times where, in the absence of knowing where to start, I just picked something at random. 1994′s "Lucifer Over London" EP turned out to be right-on, a compact little package of dread, droning and delirium. It's not anything I'd label "industrial" — it's got layers of acoustic instruments, and it's probably not where anyone who's really into the band would tell you to start with. But I like first hitting up EPs like this of bands I don't know, as that's where they tend to place their more "out to lunch" stuff.

Although it's not coming out for a year, we already know that the show will feature an all-new villain, the Inquisitor, who (according to Dave Filoni) is "tasked by Darth Vader to hunt down the remaining Jedi knights". I did some research, and apparently the Imperial Inquisitors were force-sensitive agents, which would explain the Darth Maul-style double red lightsaber. The newly-released picture of him is below.
Many of the creators, producers, and animators of this show appear to have worked on The Clone Wars also, so I hope that we can expect something along the same animation and plot quality. Besides the fact that no show will ever be able to replace The Clone Wars' place in my heart, I only have one problem with it: the show is on Disney XD.
Now, I can imagine that in the cartoon-watching world, Cartoon Network is more respected than Disney XD. And I'm not just talking about overall network quality. Cartoon Network and Disney XD both have their share of horribly idiotic shows. The main reason why Cartoon Network is more respected is probably just because the word Disney is generally associated with kid-friendly fairy stuff. But, let me point out, we all thought that Star Wars: The Clone Wars would be all kid-friendly and stupid too, and we were (eventually) all proved wrong.
The only thing I can say for sure is that nobody should be wondering why The Clone Wars was on CN but Rebels is on DXD (an abbreviation that I spontaneously made up). Star Wars: The Clone Wars, undeniably, shut down because of Disney. Dave Filoni might say that he was planning for the show to end anyway, but he was probably midway through the creation of Season 6 when he got a call from a Disney executive telling him that his show was getting canceled. So, when they started a new show, they wanted it to be on their own channel.
By the way, this is kind of unrelated, but in the past I've gotten some unfavorable messages in my comments. If you try to get a rise out of me or annoy me or something, you might not be glad that you did. I tend to get kind of harsh when it comes to things like this, and I get super defensive and hyped-up and furiously energetic.
But if you have any constructive or complimenting comments, feel free to post them. May the force be with you all.

In all of my research over the last few years, I have never come across information on the William Smith Garage on Power Street. If any of my wonderful readers would like to comment on where this garage was located, as well as anything else that comes to mind, I would love it. Does the building still exist but look different?

Ethics Advisory Opinion No. 109
August 31, 2006
Issued By: City Attorney's Office
I. Issue:
Does the Ethics Code prohibit a former city employee from being hired by the city on a contract basis after he leaves city service?
II. Inquiry
An employee has advised his supervisors that he is considering retirement. Several managerial staff members have expressed an interest in hiring this individual on a contract basis after he leaves city service. The employee inquires whether the Ethics Code would prohibit him from accepting contractual employment with the city after he retires.
III. The Ethics Code – "Revolving Door" Rules
There are several ethics code provisions that apply to former employees and their interaction with the city after they have left city service. These provisions are sometimes referred to as the "revolving door" rules, and they are discussed below.
Section 2-56 (Subsequent Representation of Private Interests) states:
A former city official or employee shall not represent for compensation any person, group, or private entity, other than himself or herself, or his or her spouse or minor children, before the city for a period of two (2) years after termination of his or her official duties.
This section would not prohibit the employee from entering into a contract for professional services with the city after he has left city employment. In becoming a city contractor, the employee would be working as an agent of the city, rather than on behalf of a private outside client.
Section 2-57 (Prior Participation in the Negotiation, Award or Administration of Contracts) states:
A former city official or employee may not, within two (2) years of the termination of official duties for the City, perform work on a compensated basis relating to a discretionary contract, if he or she personally and substantially participated in the negotiation, award, or administration of the contract.
This section would, while the employee is still working for the city, prohibit him from negotiating a post-termination contract. Once he leaves city service, he could negotiate such a contract with the city. Also, if the contract work might relate to a city contract in which the employee was involved in its negotiation, award or administration, he would be prohibited from engaging in any work related to that contract on behalf of a private sector employer for two years after leaving city service.
Section 2-58 (Prohibited Interests in Discretionary Contracts) states:
Within one (1) year of the termination of official duties, a former city officer or employee shall neither have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in any discretionary contract with the City, nor have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in the sale to the City of any land, materials, supplies, or service.
This provision applies only to former employees who had been required to fill out the annual financial disclosure form under Section 2-73 of the Ethics Code. Because this employee is not within the class of employees required to file annual disclosure forms under Section 2-73, this provision does not apply. Ethics Code, Section 2-58(c)(1).
Even for those employees who are required to file financial disclosure forms, this provision does not apply to contracts for professional services. As long as the contract is for professional services, this provision would not prohibit that former employee from contracting with the city. Ethics Code, Section 2-58(c)(3).
IV. Conclusion
The former employee may be hired on a contract basis to work for the city after leaving city service, but must wait until leaving city service to negotiate such contracts.

I was certain I was dead.
The rain burst down onto the streets, with every raindrop feeling like a bullet against my skin, and though I did find some shelter in a cardboard box, I shuddered and fell. It felt like my life was oozing out of my body, and my long-overdue death was approaching. I had travelled for so long and over so many places, I kept telling myself that a human or a rabid dog or my own stupidity would kill me some day. I don't know how long I've lived, but I'm sure I've lived more years than I should have.
Still, I wouldn't give it up. There's more adventure to be found out here than in my old home, and certainly a lot more food.
So there I was, barely able to move, when I was certain I saw myself walking through the rain. It looked just like me, except maybe a little plumper. I actually wondered if my soul had left my body and I was watching a replay of my death, or even the Grim Reaper had come for me, and had taken on a familiar form to soothe me.
He didn't disappear or fade into nothing or take me to the great beyond. He simply asked, 'Room for one more?' and I nodded. When he sat next to me, a tiny bit of energy sparked within me. I had seen several other cats before on my travels, in fact I had even impregnated one, and yet, there was something I couldn't quite put my claw on about this one. Even though I knew he wasn't a spirit or a past vision, he still seemed to have a bit of me about him. I just knew he went through the same things I did, but there was something else as well.
'Thanks,' said the other cat.
'It was nothing,' I replied as I stood up, 'I guess we have to stick together.'
'You're much nicer than some people I can mention,' replied the other cat.
'Oh, I know what' s happened,' I said, 'you were abandoned. Your owners just went and kicked you out when they couldn't take care of you.'
'Couldn't?' replied the other cat with an angry scoff, 'Won't more like.'
'True that,' I replied, sighing. I noticed the rain subsiding – but I don't want to be corny and say that it happened because I made a new friend – so I stepped out of the box, even though it was still wet. The other still lay down. 'They just wanted me because I was a black cat. They said I had "mystique". Just wanted a black cat and not what comes with it. Called me "Twilight", they did. Crap name. Call me Steve.'
The other cat shook his head and walked out of the box to stand beside me. 'At least you weren't called Mr. Fluffy. I'm not even that fluffy.'
I shook my head. 'You're like the third Mr. Fluffy I've met. Humans, eh?'
'They gave me that "mystique" crap too. He thought I was good luck…look, I don't want to talk about it.' He looked up at the dwindling rain, letting some of it plop on his nose. 'When it gets drier, let's go find some rats or something.'
And to that I agreed. We both went back into the cardboard box and waited for the rain to completely dry up before we ran across the streets, and Fluffy even challenged me to a little race to the next alleyway. I won – I had been out on these streets longer than he had – and he gladly celebrated my victory. We found nothing really edible in that alleyway except for a half-eaten chocolate bar, which looked appetising to neither of us, so we moved on. Another race, another victory snatched up by yours truly. Next alleyway we went to had a rat scurrying across, which I pounced on immediately. Fluffy looked on in admiration, and would have applauded were he physically able to. We shared the rat and he promised he would bring me something next time we meet.
Sure enough, Fluffy appeared right before me the next day, presenting me with an entire apple pie. 'Would you believe humans still leave them out on the windowsill? They're idiots, aren't they?'
'Yeah,' I said, looking harder at the pie just to confirm that it actually lay before me, 'but…how did you…'
'I told you, Steve,' Fluffy said, narrowing his eyes, 'I got it because humans are stupid.'
'Okay, calm down,' I said, raising my paw, 'thanks, anyway.'
So we both dug in and though we devoured it in a matter of seconds, we felt it unnecessary to do any hunting, so I thought we would just have a couple more of those little races. Well, it's not like I had anything better to do. When we were both tired out, he took a look at the road and sighed. 'We're not like humans, you know. We can do with less. I think everything would be better if humans were just gone.'
'Wouldn't go that far,' I replied, 'I mean, without them we wouldn't like have half our favourite foods.'
'You said it yourself,' said Fluffy, his eyes seemingly glaring, 'they wouldn't even give you that.' He raised his paw, baring his claws. 'Your old humans. The ones which abandoned you. Wouldn't you like them dead?' The way he said that last word seemed to sting my skin even more than the rapid raindrops.
I ran in seconds.
Again I found myself hiding, not just in cardboard boxes, all over the place. I shouldn't have run, I told myself, now he's going to kill me. He didn't say he would, I just felt it in my gut.
Even though he said those things, even though I was certain I saw a glimpse of hellfire in his eyes, he still reminded me of myself.
It was one of those things I needed to talk about with my "wife".
I still remembered the way, I still remembered how the house stood out even among its nearly-identical neighbours. It was just a matter of sitting by the bushes and waiting for her to come to the window. Princess, the lovely little tabby cat. One day I found myself wandering around her neighbourhood when I saw her in her garden, rolling over on her back, just for me. I visited her multiple times, mostly to see our kittens before they were given away. People snatched them up in minutes.
'It was the right thing to do,' Princess said, 'they'll be taken good care of. My humans are smart.' I had never been able to find my kittens, and she told me not to; it was time for them to be independent. Thus when I came to her, it was for reassurance that humans weren't as bad as they seem to be. Even after what I did with her, the humans still kept her and she never had a bad thing to say about them.
'Twilight,' she said, peeking from the window crack (she's the only one allowed to call me that name), 'what are you doing here?'
'I just needed someone to talk to,' I replied, 'I got a new friend the other day, and we looked for food together, and then he started talking about destroying the human race.'
'Now that's just silly,' said Princess, gesturing towards her collar, 'who would want to destroy a race that could create things like this?'
'Thing is, he just…sorta reminded me of me a bit. Like…'
'You mean you want to commit genocide?' Princess tilted her head.
'No, he's been recently abandoned, and he's like me in my early…I don't know how to…'
All of a sudden, I found myself levitating.
'Is that him?'
I looked down on the ground and saw Fluffy, holding what looked like a glowing rod in his mouth. Then he shook his head and I slammed against the wall.
'Yes, I suppose humans do make some items of worth,' he said after he put down the rod.
'What…' I gasped as I lay on the ground.
'I think I should tell you about my owner,' said a grimacing Fluffy, 'His name was Professor Destruction, head of the GEIST corporation for world domination.'
My energy shot back into my body in an instant, yet my next word was another 'What?'
'He kept me around for luck, as I said, always keeping me on my lap, stroking me as he dictated his plans to conquer the earth. He always made sure to have a rabbit's foot or a horseshoe around his neck, and at four every day he would throw salt over his shoulder. The type of poppycock humans take as gospel.
'His plans for conquest were always thwarted by this secret agent guy, can't remember his name. Well, he managed to find our latest secret hideout, and I know he found it because he slept with our secretary, and yet I'm the one that gets blamed for not bringing enough luck. He kicked me out, but not before I managed to pinch this.' He nodded in the rod's direction. I had half a mind to snatch it away from him and send him skyrocketing to the other side of the planet, yet all I could do was hiss at him.
'Don't be like that, Steve,' said Fluffy, placing his paw firmly on the rod, 'you see, that's why I befriended you. I want revenge on that idiot master of mine, and I'm going to build an army of cats to do it. You have shown great speed and agility, so I think you will be perfect. Don't you want revenge on humanity for sending you out on the streets with nothing to eat but what you find in the bins? Don't you want them to be as scared as you felt when you first stepped onto these streets?'
'No!' I barked, and I swatted at him, making him back away. In seconds, I grabbed the rod with my mouth and readied myself to catapult him over the fence and out of my life forever.
But I didn't know how the damn thing worked.
He leapt at me, releasing the rod from my mouth and pinning me down to the ground. 'I'm going to give you one last chance to join me, and sit by my side as I conquer humanity. Just think of the power.'
'Weren't you talking about how we were better than humans because we can live with less?'
'Well,' said Fluffy, spitting, 'this is different. This is something important…' At that moment, I slashed him in the face again, so hard he yowled in pain. 'You're making a big mistake!' cried Fluffy, 'The humans rejected you!'
'Well,' I replied, 'you ever think that maybe I like being out and about? I like the adventure?'
'But don't you want the humans to serve you?'
'But they already serve me!' Princess, the clever little girl, had managed to get the window open and had escaped into the garden. 'I want a fuss, they give me a fuss, I yowl for food, they give me food.'
'You're lying!' snapped Fluffy.
'No, really, I'll show you.'
To my surprise, Fluffy actually followed Princess into the house, bringing that rod along with him. Cowardly custard that I was, I made my escape. A very selfish thing to do, I admit, yet the fact that he willingly went with her eased my nerves.
I returned a couple of days later to find Fluffy sitting at the window of the house, his fur neatly combed and a collar around his neck. 'I suppose I was wrong about humans,' he said, 'they really do know their place. Watch.' He howled and yowled until a bowl of cat food was placed before him.
A quick glance into the living room, and I saw the patriarch of the house, clutching that rod, using it to bring the TV remote to him.
Once again, when I saw him, I saw me. I saw an alternate me. A me who gave up the streets for another owner. A better owner.
So I looked for one.
(Quick Note: Black cats are considered good luck here in the UK.)

Computational Studies of Protonated Cyclic Ethers and Benzylic Organolithium Compounds
Deora, Nipa
MetadataShow full item record
Protonated epoxides feature prominently in organic chemistry as reactive intermediates. Gas-phase calculations studying the structure and ring-opening energetics of protonated ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and 2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane were performed at the B3LYP and MP2 levels (both with the 6-311++G** basis set). Structural analyses were performed for 10 protonated epoxides using B3LYP, MP2, and CCSD/6-311++G** calculations. Protonated 2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane was the most problematic species studied, where relative to CCSD, B3LYP consistently overestimates the C2-O bond length. The difficulty for DFT methods in modeling the protonated isobutylene oxide is due to the weakness of this C2-O bond. Protonated epoxides featuring more symmetrical charge distribution and cyclic homologues featuring less ring strain are treated with greater accuracy by B3LYP. Ion-pair separation (IPS) of THF-solvated fluorenyl, diphenylmethyl, and trityl lithium was studied computationally. Minimum-energy equilibrium geometries of explicit mono, bis and tris-solvated contact ion pairs (CIPs) and tetrakis-sovlated solvent separated ion pair (SSIPs) were modeled at B3LYP/6-31G*. Associative transition structures linking the tris-solvated CIPs and tetrakis-solvated SIPs were also located. In vacuum, B3LYP/6-31G* ΠHIPS values are 6-8 kcal/mol less exothermic than the experimentally-determined values in THF solution. Incorporation of secondary solvation in the form of Onsager and PCM single-point calculations showed an increase in exothermicity of IPS. Application of a continuum solvation model (Onsager) during optimization at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory produced significant changes in the Cα-Li contact distances in the SSIPs. An increase in of ion pair separation exothermicity was observed upon using both PCM and Onsager solvation models, highlighting the importance of both explicit and implicit solvation in modeling of ion pair separation.

I receive a lot of unsolicited advice about my "health," and most of the time I appreciate it because people care enough to say something. It's an important issue, but my size doesn't accurately portray my energy level to many looking at me from a distance.
Say what you want about my need to lose weight. That's an undisputable fact, but I'm going to brag about my energy levels for a moment.
I get up around 6 am during the week, and I'm up almost as early on Sunday mornings. Most days I'm away from home for more than 12 hours at a time. I'm gnerally not the "sit on the sofa while eating pizza while binging on Netflix" type, though I did make an exception for House of Cards. I'm the "wake up, hit the ground running, let's smile because it's finally time to be awake" type (at least most days.)
I sleep well. When my head hits the pillow, it usually isn't long until I'm dreaming. I typically feel rested when I wake up. I indulge in occassional Sunday naps, but it's not a requirement…not even close.
I have more energy and endurance than a lot of people who are much smaller than I am, but I don't have as much as I had two years ago. This isn't a post about comparing myself to other people because I don't do that; this is about me.
I'm aggravated with myself because I gained a significant amount of weight back, but I'm doing better. I'm consistenly eating less and making better choices. There's a lot of room for improvement, but it's been better for the last few months.
My routine feels pretty solid now, but I need to exercise more than I do. I need to do it consitently because I know that it will lower my stress levels and increase my energy levels. It's a win-win, so why am I struggling to do it?
I'm busy from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. I enjoy everything I do, so rarely does it feel like burden. I'm thankful for that. I don't prioritize my workouts, which is no secret here. I know that needs to change, which is also not a secret.
I know that I need to continue taking steps in the a healthier direction. I'm doing that by cooking chicken in my slow cooker and bringing my lunch to work, making more time to get enough sleep, drinking water, and eating vegetables. I know that there's so much more to do.
I just find it a little frustrating (and silly) that people (though most of them mean well) spend their time and effort telling me how I should detox, or how I should do this or that because it will give me more energy, etc. It's odd because those people (the recent ones) aren't as healthy, balanced, or energized as I am. They're just skinnier.
I don't offer a lot of unsolicited advice, but if I did, I'd start by suggesting that people offer less unsolicited advice. I'd follow that up with the need to recognize that our looks don't always portray everything that's happening on the inside. In fact, it rarely does.
This isn't something that I plan to lose sleep over. It's just a little PSA for those well-intentioned, yet misguided folks. I'm okay. I could sugarcoat what I'm about to say, but it's not intended to be mean:
If you're talking about this with me and I yawn, it's probably just because these talks bore me. Thank you for caring. Just take a bit more time to pay attention to the reality of my situation if you're going to comment on it. I'm juggling my priorities right now, and I'll keep trying to do better.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
