From The Master
Welcome to New College Village (NCV) at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia - a residential college providing accommodation at UNSW. Since its inception, NCV has always sought to be much more than a place to live. NCV is a rich community in which outstanding young men and women can learn and enrich one another's lives. You can study, eat and sleep in any apartment building or hall of residence, but NCV is much more than that. The founders recognised that university education should offer more than just a degree or qualification. This is why the mission of NCV stresses is to foster a diverse and supportive community founded on Christian faith and values that encourages academic excellence, service to society and lifelong learning. NCV residents do very well academically. But they also look for ways to make a difference to the world through service to others. This begins in the way we support one another and contribute to community life, but it extends to impact on campus life and our interest in our wider world.
Research in the social sciences is littered with significant findings that show how one person can make a difference to your life: a teacher, a parent or caregiver, a mentor, a coach, a close friend, a youth group leader. Our aim within the NCV is to build a community whose members have positive influences on each other's lives. The New College community provides a network of relationships enabling connectedness and a sense of belonging. The academic support and pastoral care systems reflect the fact that welfare and growth of students is at the core of College life. We contribute to each other's lives.
Great universities of the world do more than simply deliver degrees; they inspire and transform their students into lifelong learners. As well, they produce research and scholarship that has an influence for good in the world, solving problems, creating new forms of technology, enriching the arts, informing social and economic policy and so on. NCV exists to serve the University of New South Wales, particularly its students. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the University and its students. We see it as a privilege to offer opportunities for students from all over the world to experience the unique life that the NCV offers. Why don't you consider joining us?

1. Deeds without estate status: So you want to add dad, mom or a brother to your Florida property, so you get a Quit Claim Deed from an out of state lawyer, an office supply store or online, fill it out and mail in to be recorded. Three years later they die, and when you go to sell you discover that in order to clear their interest you will need to file an ancillary administration in Florida. $3,000 and a few months later you close and get to share the proceeds with their heirs. This can all be avoided by using the proper language to effectuate what your intent is on that deed. If you want the property to go to everyone's heirs, do nothing, but if you want to be sure that the property goes to the surviving grantees, simply add, "joint tenants with full rights of survivorship, and not as tenants in common" after the grantee's name and upon their death, the title goes to the remaining grantee without probate.
2. Grandma's Condo: If you own a second home/condominium in Florida and are a resident of another state, you can avoid two probates by simply deeding your second Florida property to yourself for life with a remainder to your chosen heirs. Then, when you die, no probate is necessary. You can even keep full control by adding Ladybird Powers to your Life Estate Deed.
3. Applying for Homestead: Florida's constitutional homestead is an automatic protection arising as soon as you take residency of your Florida home. However, the statutory homestead tax break requires that you apply by March 1 of the year after you purchase. Forgetting to apply will costs you about $500 each year, and you will lose a 3% cap on annual appraisal increases. If you closed last year and did not apply, you can still submit an application and ask for a late filing waiver.
4. Home Improvements: Getting ready to sell your house but need some work done that requires a contractor? If it is a short job, you should change the automatic one year life of that Notice of Commencement required for permitted jobs to the actual time needed to complete the work. Otherwise, when you do sell you will have to hunt down that contractor and possibly some subcontractors to get release of liens, even though the job was done on one week and it has been eleven months since your house improvement was completed.
5. Loan Payoff Surprise: Many people are surprised at closing when their mortgage payoffs are far higher than their last mortgage statement. For example, if you borrowed $500,000 at 5% five years ago, and you are closing August 10, (and you were told not to make the August mortgage payment) and your August mortgage statement says you owe $448,866.09 in principal, your closing statement could say you owe almost $3,000 more. That is because mortgages are paid in arrears, meaning that the July payment you made was for interest in June. So at that August 10th closing they are collecting interest on the principal balance from July 1 to August 10, plus a week extra to cover mailing in the payment.
6. Mortgage Insurance: Did you purchase your home with less than 20% down? Then you probably pay mortgage insurance every month. The insurance is supposed to stop once the loan amount equals 80% of your home's appraised value. However, it is the owner's responsibility to request this relief. If you think you have hit 80% mark, contact your lender, because each month you delay could easily costs $83 per month for each $100,000 you borrowed.
7. Rubber Hoses: Go in your laundry room and look at the hoses connected to your washing machine. If they are black rubber then (i) confirm you have flood insurance; and (ii) get in the car and go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy braided stainless steel hoses in the same length. Installation is easy, turn of the water to the washing machine, remove old hoses and install new hoses. Burst rubber hoses are probably the number one cause of flood in homes. You do have flood insurance too? Many do not so take the time and do one of the easiest fixes possible to protect your home.
8. Mortgage Interest: Do you know what interest rate you are paying on your home mortgage? Many people close on a loan when they buy and then never refinance, throwing away thousands of dollars. If you borrowed $300,000 ten years ago at 6% you are paying $1,798 a month. If you refinanced all $300,000, that full amount at today's rate of 3.75% your payment would drop to $1,389 and after closing costs you would have about $40,000 in your pocket. The smartest move would be to refinance only what you owe for 15 years. Your payment would still be lower by $300 a month and you would shave another five years on your existing loan.

Mosquito saliva protein inhibits dengue transmission
A protein in mosquito saliva reduces dengue virus transmission, according to new research. Many components of mosquito saliva dampen the host immune response and facilitate infection. Now, researchers have found one protein, D7, that binds to the dengue virus and inhibits its transmission to human and mouse cells. The anti-D7 antibodies ordinarily produced by the immune systems of individuals exposed to mosquitoes might therefore act unhelpfully, enhancing disease transmission and severity. This could impact development of dengue therapies and vaccines.
Social rank may affect diet of male bonobos
Bonobos' diets may vary with social rank in males and with the phases of reproduction in females, according to researchers who analyzed stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes in hair collected from 23 bonobos over two years. They found that samples from low-ranking adolescent bonobos had lower nitrogen isotope levels than those from higher-ranking males, who likely got more meat when sharing food. They also noted that nitrogen and carbon levels differed in female bonobos according to whether they were cycling, pregnant, or lactating, likely reflecting changing dietary needs.
Progesterone-based therapy protects against influenza
Progesterone-containing contraceptives are known to affect immunity in the reproductive tract, but their impact on viral infections elsewhere in the body is less understood. A new study found that giving progesterone to progesterone-depleted mice protected against influenza by prompting lung cells to produce a protein called amphiregulin. This reduced lung inflammation, repaired damaged tissue and promoted faster recovery. The results demonstrate that progesterone may have significant health effects beyond the reproductive tract.

Mike Foudy from Green Acres Baptist Church/CrossWalk Worship in Tyler, TX brings us this nice us of stretchies.
They had a bunch of stretch fabric lying around, so they started loosely hanging them from the ceiling to see what they could make. They wanted them to hang a bit loosely so they'd have some swag.
They lit them from the catwalk with Elektralite PaintCans and ColorKinetics Colorblast 12 fixtures. The trusses (Applied Electronics Medium-grade truss) were being lit from the bottom with German Light Products LED Base4 Truss Toners. Movers were Elektralite my575.4 spots, with Elektralite PaintCans as overhead/back lighting color washes.

How to Deal with Challenging ClientsBlog Post: February 25, 2013
Awesome post, Craig.
This one hits home from back in my consulting days but your tips can easily carry over into the in-house realms. I especially like number 4 in the "cure ahead" section of the post and don't think too many of us know when it's time to say goodbye.
On a side note, why so many thumbs downs on the comments? Someone having a bad morning?

I have been a track and cross country addict for 5 years. As a runner I have always tried to find ways to become faster and faster. Sophomore year in high school I got my 5k down to 19 minutes. I soon connected this success to my weight loss since freshman year. Skinny=fast...or so I thought. The end of sophomore cross country came, and so did a dissapointing race. I assumed I just needed to lose more weight. My months of anorexia were not helping fast enough. In november 2010, I purged for the first time. As a senior, the past 2 years are filled with horrible bulimia moments. It has taken over my life. I have become a slave to it. Junior year was the worst. For a few months I was finally happy. I was down to X pounds-the perfection of skinny. That year I passed out in school and after almost every race. I didnt ever think this disease could kill me! I have not had an injury free season, yet I have signed with a college team. I am seeing a counselor and making very slow progress, but getting rid of this horrible sickness seems near impossible. This isnt what I signed up for. This needs to end for good.

Scripture Reading: Exodus 18:17-19
What could you do to lighten the load of all that God wants you to do? As a summary of the last nine lessons, here's a short list of some of the things God had Moses do to lighten his load. These things not only lightened his load, but they allowed God to accomplish through Moses all that God wanted to do. Maybe they could help you to accomplish more, too.
1) Delegate. Jethro helped Moses to see that Moses would only wear himself out unless he involved others in the work.
2) Write it down. God helped Moses to write down what he had already learned from God, and would need to know in the future, so that Moses could share this wisdom with others.
3) Trust God's timing. God showed Moses a huge vision for what He wanted to do through Moses, but God also told him that it wouldn't happen overnight, but rather, little by little.
4) Listen for God's specific instructions. God spoke in specific detail about how God wanted the people to do the work―and Moses listened.
5) Give dignity and honor to those serving with you. God showed Moses not only specific ways to involve others, but also how to give them dignity and honor for their work.
By putting a system in place, Moses was able to multiply the number of people who could experience the freedom God had in mind for them, including us today who still benefit from those words. Moses still had meaningful work to do, but he was relieved from having to do it all himself.
As I wrote this lesson, I had just returned from a missions trip to Africa. My wife and I had been wanting to do something to help the people of Africa in some way, but we had no idea what to do. The problems facing that continent are overwhelming. But after voicing our desire to each other and to God, God showed us a way that we cold help. He invited us to join a missions trip to Swaziland to plant hundreds of small vegetable gardens in people's backyards.
The project was simple enough in theory, but took a huge amount of planning and effort to make it work in practice. We certainly couldn't have done it alone. Thankfully, we didn't have to.
God raised up people to help in dozens of ways: donors who funded the trip, drivers who helped us get through the mountains, pastors who went ahead of us to prepare the people for what we were going to do, translators who helped us interact with the local people, administrators who handled the logistics for our team, and secretaries who arranged hundreds of details during the week.
If we had tried to do this alone, the five of us who went from Streator might have planted five or ten gardens the whole week. But, by involving others, God was able to use our team of 80 volunteers, working alongside the beautiful people of Swaziland, to plant and distribute over 8,000 of these small vegetable gardens. Over the past few years, thousands of volunteers, on dozens of similar trips, have been able to plant and distribute hundreds of thousands of these life-giving gardens.
I often think that I'm the one that has to accomplish the whole vision that God puts on my heart. While I'm willing to do the work, I get overwhelmed because there's too much work to do. The truth is there is too much work to do―at least for one person. But by involving others, we can finish the work together.
If you feel overwhelmed by the visions that God has put on your heart, remember that Moses needed help, too. Remember Jethro's words to Moses:
"What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you…" (Exodus 18:17b-19a).
Moses took Jethro's advice by involving others―and God was with him. May God be with you, too.

Truckee track puts together stellar performance to open year
After snow derailed much of the teams' preseason training, the Truckee and North Tahoe track and field squads made their way to Sparks, Nevada, last weekend for the year's first competition.
Six teams showed up for the meet at Sparks High School on March 10, and while local athletes haven't been able to properly prepare for the season, it didn't stop several from bringing back first-place finishes.
"I'd say we did very well considering it was our first time being on a track this season since we've been training on roads, in hallways, and in the gym since there is snow on the track," said Truckee Head Coach Diana Yale in an email to the Sun.
Truckee's distance runner sophomore Montana Montgomery picked up a pair of wins on the boys' side in the 1,600 meters and 3,200 meters. Montgomery raced to a personal record in the 1,600 meters, crossing the line with a time of four minutes, 48.50 seconds. Montgomery also produced a personal best in the 3,200 meters, finishing with a time of 10 minutes, and 17.06 seconds. North Tahoe junior Corey Joslin was second in both races.
North Tahoe's Joe Pierce and Joslin also went first and second in the 800 meters. Pierce won the race with a time of two minutes and 18.57 seconds. The Lakers also had Justin Pierce finish second in the 100 meters with a time of 11.87 seconds, and John Zapata claimed second in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 21.81 seconds.
The Truckee boys swept the relay events.
In the field events, the Wolverines also saw a first and second-place finish in long jump. Senior Michael Doughty started his season with a personal record leap of 18 feet, 10 inches. Junior Kevin Malo was second with a jump of 17 feet, 2.5 inches. Doughty was also third in both the 100 and 200 meters. The meet marked the jumpers first time in the pit this year, according to Yale.
In throwing events, Truckee senior Dominic Acevedo placed second in shot put with a throw of 35 feet 11 inches. Truckee also had junior Jackson Skaff finish in third place in shot put with a throw of 32 feet, 10 inches. Skaff was third in discus as well with a throw of 96 feet and eight inches.
On the girls' side, Truckee freshman Alia Sinoff got off to a terrific start to her career with first-place finishes in the 100 and 200 meters. Sinoff ran a 13.41 in the 100, followed by sophomore teammate Deanna Sunnergren with a time of 13.94 seconds for second place. Sinoff (28.08) and Sunnergren (28.44) also went one-two in the 200 meters.
Sunnergren went on to claim victory in the 400 meters with a time of one minute and 6.56 seconds. Freshman teammate Amelia Swanson was second with a time of one minute, 11.4 seconds.
Truckee's runners continued to dominate in the longer events with junior Jossi Johnson winning the 800 meters with a time of two minutes, 45.4 seconds, and the 1,600 meters with a time of six minutes and three seconds flat. Junior teammate Ella Carr was second in the 800 meters and third in the 1,600 meters.
Freshman Hana Mazur was second in the 1,600 meters for Truckee. Mazur would go on to win the 3,200 meters with a time of 13 minutes, 6.13 seconds.
The Wolverines also had senior Elizabeth Morgan claim second in the 100-meter hurdles, and third in the 300-meter hurdles; while the relay squads took three first places, and a second place.
Truckee senior Sara Sawyer brought the team two more first place finishes with a victory in shot put behind a throw of 29 feet, 10 inches. Sawyer then won discus with a toss of 83 feet.
Freshman Jasmine Wood rounded out Truckee's stellar day with a first place in long jump behind a leap of 15 feet, five inches. Truckee's Ali Barret was net with a jump of 13 feet, 11 inches. Wood also won the triple jump with a personal record leap of 30 feet, four inches.
Yale said the team was able to practice outside on March 12, after shoveling snow off three lanes of the Truckee High School track. But with more snow in the forecast this week, the Wolverines will likely again be pushed back indoors. Truckee will next compete at Placer High School's Le Febvre Relays on Friday.

Good Evening Lovely readers!! It's ASW again. I would like to share with you all a neat salon that is based in the UK. Rush Hair was founded in 1994 by two men named Andy and Stell. Since then they have expanded from just having one salon to sixty salons. Isn't that amazing? Rush Hair Salon gives their clients the option to book their appointments online for whichever service that they would like. A few may want to relax in the low-lit spa on the first floor of the salon. On the other hand, some may like to indulge in a nice head massage while their hairdresser crafts a style that will best suit the client.
As you can see, this salon is modern and the two owners are always looking for innovative ways to spruce up their salons. Technology nonetheless plays a major role in the expansion of the sixty salons. Click here to find out more about Rush Reading! Customer service is extremely important when it comes to maintaing a successful business because the owner (s) always want their cliental to leave satisfied. The salon offers a full staff that are always ready and willing to assist whomever walks through the door.
One of the features that I love about Rush is that not only do they have a website but they also have a blog as well. As a blogger I know how important it is to keep up with my blog and Rush Salon does the same. Within their blog they discuss celebrities and their hair styles and it gives their customers ideas on what they may try differently to their hair.
If you live in London then I highly suggest that you pay a visit to Rush Hair Salon.
Thanks for reading and I hope that you have a wonderful night!
With Love,

please do not complicate what is
simpler than dropping a coin onto a charm.
it's already there—
that which in affect becomes additive.
cold cutlery arranged in rows & columns—
& why?
[...motor skills of a moron collect atrophization
when rolling to barter with slaves...]
'can you hear me knocking?' sings an old pop song.
we are already waiting.
entertain any notion voluntarily—
as the crosswise dauphin reflects
while engaging chicken-proof-wired contractors
to phrase a contemporary additive
on what's international & paisley.
not impressed—
are words collecting ashes in the corridor.
we are too early to lift baggage.
no one washes midstream anymore,
it being too dangerously appetizing.
this has been called 'a stray mind'—
get used to it!.

Practicum courses combine study of a substantive area under a full-time professor with service learning alongside practicing lawyers.
These four-credit courses are based on 120 hours of in-field work (about 10 hours a week) assisting and observing practicing attorneys. They also require weekly classroom work in conjunction with a full-time professor, exploring the substantive law in depth and reflecting on the process of becoming an attorney.
The course requirements include assigned reading, weekly journaling to reflect on the students' experiences in practice, and an end-of-semester white paper on a legal topic that grows from their work.

Top 3 Crosshair Generators
Customization is a major component of video games today, but in the world of competitive gaming, much of the industry focus is placed on keeping every player on an even keel. This is, of course, for the sake of fairness. That said, there are a few key ways that players can customize their games, without cheating, to potentially give themselves a personal edge. One popular method of customization in the wildly popular PC shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the use of crosshair generators. These web app-based tools allow players to create their very own crosshairs to be used in-game.
The crosshair is one of the only items that remains onscreen constantly during first-person-shooter gameplay, and it makes sense that players would want to make them their own. Crosshairs can be a tricky subject because certain players may prefer a certain type while others may gravitate toward something completely different. Crosshair generators make this a non-issue by allowing players to make their own. These applications allow them to customize the size, thickness and color of a variety of different parts of the crosshair, as well as adding a dot or outline to it. The generators then provide code variables to be pasted into the game's code console. The generators do the heavy lifting in terms of coding the crosshairs, making for a simple process for players looking for the perfect shooter experience.
How to Use the Developer Console
Every crosshair customization requires the use of the CS:GO developer console. Activate the developer console by navigating to the CS:GO settings menu. Under settings, enter the Game Parameters menu and select "Yes" next to "Enable the developer console (~)." The Game Settings menu allows players to customize the style and color under the "UI Settings" menu, but these options don't go any further. That's where these online crosshair generators come into play. Now, without further ado, here are the top 3 crosshair generator web apps for you to try.
#3. FluxArray
FluxArray's crosshair generator gets points for simplicity. It features six sliders used to customize the size and shape of the different aspects of the on-screen crosshair and four for color customization. The generator also features a sample screenshot from CS:GO used to test the customized crosshair. The shot has varied lighting in its various parts, meaning players can see how the crosshair looks in different areas of each map. This generator also allows players to toggle a dynamic crosshair if they wish. FluxArray's generator doesn't have the bells and whistles that others do, but it's the perfect app for beginners to start making their own crosshairs. Unfortunately, the slider system can be a little confusing to newcomers, and the other apps on this list make things a lot simpler. Conversely, as a bonus, FluxArray's generator doesn't carry any ads, making the site very clean to look at.
#2. Crosshair Generator
The aptly named Crosshair Generator doesn't look as clean as FluxArray's site, but its customization options are more robust while remaining friendly to beginners. Crosshair Generator's strength is that it allows players to select different categories of crosshairs, including Default, Classic and Dynamic crosshairs. These crosshairs can be viewed in several different screenshot settings, making it a bit more versatile in terms of testing crosshairs before using them. The biggest strength of Crosshair Generator is its selection of presets. If players don't know where to start, they can select a preset and then work from there to create the perfect crosshair. Additionally, many of Crosshair Generator's options are toggle-based rather than slider-based, making them even simpler to use than the ones available with FluxArray's generator.
#1. CS:GOPedia
The wildly popular CS:GOPedia has its own crosshair generator, offering a high level of simplicity while making it easy for players to create the perfect crosshair. Like Crosshair Generator's tool, CS:GOPedia allows players to view their created crosshairs in several different maps (six, to be exact). It also offers presets, just like Crosshair Generator. Where CS:GOPedia puts itself ahead of the reset of the pack of online crosshair generators, however, is in the ability to view the crosshairs used by more than 200 professional CS:GO players. This is a major strength, and it exists because of CS:GOPedia's status as an online CS:GO hub.
If a player likes the crosshair used by his or her favorite player on an online stream, CS:GOPedia brings many professionals' settings together in one place. CS:GOPedia also features easy copy and download buttons, making the process even simpler. To cap it all off, the generator page also includes a few helpful links for players hoping to go deeper into the intricacies of CS:GO. Many other crosshair generators exist online, all of them offering differing levels of crosshair customization. It may seem like a petty part of the game to spend time customizing, but the fact is that players, especially ones who spend a great deal of time with a single game, have preferences. CS:GO does not feature many of these customizations in its normal set of options, so players have found their own ways to craft their preferred crosshairs.
If you're new to the world of CS:GO crosshair customization or customization in general, give these sites a try. Maybe you'll like them and maybe you'll be just fine with using the limited options available within CS:GO, or maybe you'll enjoy the power of these generators. They exist to cater to your preferred gaming experience, and even if they improve your competitive CS:GO experience just a little bit, they're worth it because of their sheer simplicity. Or, if you're not interested in customization or creation, use CS:GOPedia to find your favorite pro's preferred configuration and use it. If a customized crosshair makes headshots even a little easier, they could make the difference between a win and a loss.

What Makes Some of the Best Cosmetic Dentists in Canberra?
Are you interested in the services of a cosmetic dentist but not sure about what to expect? Such dental professionals can assist you in achieving a perfect smile and fix just about any imperfections on your teeth. However, the latter is only true when you know what to look out for in choosing the right cosmetic dental experts.
In this piece, we will go over a few important things that you would want to consider when getting just about any cosmetic dental work done and what such services can do for you
What to rightfully expect out of a cosmetic dentist?
Now if you're reading this then you have probably done a fair amount of research looking up reviews on cosmetic dental services and what they can do for you. It is a good start and from this, you would have surely realised that any flaws on your dental features can be fixed through a wide range of treatments that include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and clear braces, just to mention a few.
Of course, if you are going to turn to cosmetic dentistry for help in obtaining the perfect smile you have always wanted, you've got to entrust your needs to some of the best cosmetic dental practitioners the country has to offer. One that is experienced in the kind of cosmetic dental work that needs to be done. Know that any dentist can claim to be an expert yet few truly deserve the title. It is up to you to discern the latter.
Make it a point to ask the following questions:
- Where did you complete your dental studies?
- What training and certifications have you obtained that make you qualified to offer cosmetic dental services?
- How many times have you performed the cosmetic dental procedure that I am interested in and what were the results?
Get a straight answer for the questions mentioned above and you would be in a much better position to get every bit your money's worth. After all, prices for teeth veneers and most other cosmetic dental treatments can be significant and you would certainly want to make the most out of it.
Porcelain veneers in Canberra
Your dentist fits thin ceramic sheets to the surface of instantly concealing common flaws like tooth staining, chipped or broken teeth. Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular type of treatment readily offered by a reputable cosmetic dentist. Results are immediate; people find that the tooth concerned instantly looks whiter and more beautiful with no risk of further discolouration as porcelain is impervious to staining. Hence most reputable cosmetic dentists widely regard it as superior to professional teeth whitening which must be repeated twice a year to maintain results.
Cost of veneers in Canberra
So how much do veneers cost in Australia? Well that depends on the type of material the veneer is made from. Porcelain is the top choice as it best mimics the form and function of pearly white and healthy looking teeth. However, it does come at a hefty cost of $800 to $1200 per tooth.
What about composite veneers?
Do you think that there is no way you can afford porcelain veneers? Well there is a more affordable alternative in the form of composite veneers which cost around $250 $500 per tooth. Cosmetic dentists fabricate these veneers from the composite resin and offer the closest alternative to porcelain veneers in terms of aesthetics.
Looking to get started with whatever cosmetic dental procedure you have in mind? Arrange a consultation with one of our cosmetic dental experts here at "Super Smile"! Call us today on 1300 767 553!

TechEd 2013–Architecture Track (ARC)–What Do You Want to See?
Can you believe it? There are only 19 weeks left until TechEd North America and 21 weeks left to TechEd Europe! TechEd is always a great experience. A real "shot I the arm" in the middle of the year when you really need it.
I've been able to attend and present at TechEd for 8 of the last 10 years by my reckoning. It's the time of year where I can talk to friends that I only know online, and reunite with "TechEd friends" that I only communicate with when we're at TechEd. It's a week (or two weeks if you go to both NA and EU) of drinking from the knowledge fire hose!
Something new for me this year is the fact that I'll be one of the track PMs for the Architecture Track at TechEd this year, together with Yuri Diogenes. This puts us in a unique position of going through all the submissions made for TechEd presentations and trying to pick the best mix of presentations for those of you interested in enterprise, cloud and solutions architecture.
This year we'd like to focus on a group of central themes. Those themes are:
- MODERN DATACENTER: The "modern" datacenter will support applications that span on-premises and off-premises providers while solving management, identity and data security issues. This datacenter will be scalable and elastic, which will make IT more agile and responsible. The use of shared pooled resources will improve utilization and cost efficiency. Continuously available services will be norm, where there is no tolerance for outages or even maintenance windows, and automation and self-service will "take the work out of the job" by reducing manual tasks and enabling self-service for data center resources.
- MODERN APPLICATIONS: Modern applications will need to be able to consume these modern datacenter resources by being able to scale, both up or down. They will need to be flexible and easy so that they can get to market quickly. Applications in the future will be able to integrate seamlessly in the new hybrid IT environments, and will address the realities of a dynamic development lifecycle that will allow you to improve services in near real time.
- INSIGHTS ON DATA: These applications will tap into large data stores to provide insights never before possible as we enter the era of "Big Data". The universe of data is expanding at an exponential pace and this will provide even more value to the modern applications of the future. This value will be delivered by providing users an immersive experience with their data, so that through visualization, they can see patterns, trends, and inflection points they would not have ever been able to in the past.
- PEOPLE-CENTRIC IT: These changes in the data center and application development are coincident the "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) trend. IT will be expected to provide a personalized experience on a wide variety of devices so that users can get work done in a secure fashion regardless of device and form factor.
Given that these are the central themes, are there specific subjects that are part of these themes that you would like to hear about? If so, put them in the comments section or write to me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
Also, we are always looking for good presenters who have something they can share from their work in architecting solutions around these central themes. If you have an idea for a presentation around one of these themes and are interested in presenting at TechEd this year as part of the architecture track, send me a note at email@example.com and let's see about getting your hat into the ring!
I'll be updating this blog periodically about what's happening in the architecture track for TechEd this year, so stay tuned!

In this ten-step video tutorial, you'll learn how to quickly copy keys using a camera, printer and Dremel tool. With this ten-step process you'll learn the necessary steps to copy almost any key... even if you only have access to it for a brief period of time.
The steps include taking a picture of the key, quickly measuring it, making a template, transferring the template, and finally cutting the key. You only need to physically have access to the key for a mere matter of seconds, long enough to measure and snap a photo or two.
The exact steps for copying a house key with a camera, printer and Dremel tool include:
Step 1: Pictures -- Take a front and back photo o the key to be copied
Step 2: Measurements -- Use a dollar bill to measure the length of the key
Step 3: Importing -- Import your photos into your graphics program
Step 4: Digital Tracing -- Use the Polygon Lasso tool to outline the key
Step 5: Resizing -- Print out the correct size key tracing
Step 6: Printing -- Print out the tracing
Step 7: Verify -- Verify the correct key length
Step 8: Cut Out -- Cut out the outline with scissors
Step 9: Marking -- Use a permanent marker to trace the key outline
Step 10: Dremeling -- Carefully cut off the markings, using the original picture as a guide
Let's say you have access to a key for a while -- you can just trace the old key (even one marked "DO NOT COPY") onto a new blank (go to a department store and look for the blank yourself - most stores won't help you at all) and Dremel away.
This really is a neat trick that should be used responsibly.
P.S. -- The standard house key is #66 here in the US. The reason for taking two pictures initially is so that you can find the most correct blank at the store... make sure it fits into your lock before cutting.

The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the central government on a PIL challenging the exemption to Russia from any liability under the nuclear liability act in the event of any accident in Unit 1 and 2 of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant.
The petition by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) has sought the declaration that irrespective of any agreement, it (Russia) might have with Indian government, Russia would be bound by the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010, in the event of any accident at the plant.
A bench of Justice KS Radhakrishnan and Justice Dipak Misra issued notice in respect of Unit 1 and 2 of the KNPP which were exempted under the agreement between India and Russia.
Russian was granted waiver from any civil liability under the act on the grounds that the agreement for the supply of Unit 1 and 2 of the KNPP was signed in 2008.
The court issued notice after senior counsel Jayant Bhushan told the court that the agreement exempting Russia from any liability has inherently dangerous implications and it was a settled law that all "agreements/undertaking (that are) in conflict of the law or public policy are void to the extent of the said conflict".
As court issued notice, it noted that the exemption give to Russia was only in respect of the Unit 1 and 2 of the KNPP and not in respect of Unite 3 and 4.
To a query from the court, the Attorney General G. Vahanvati said that Kudankulam reactors 3 and 4 were covered by the liability law.
The court also said that the earlier petition by the NGO Common Cause and other eminent citizens challenging the constitutional validity of the nuclear liability law itself be tagged and heard along with this case.
In the earlier petition challenging the constitutional validity of the act, notice was issued March 16, 2012, to examine the constitutional validity of the act that limits the liability to Rs 1,500 crores.
The court also asked the government to file an affidavit on the disaster management and rehabilitation of people living around the KNPP.
Bhushan told that court that under the 1989 environmental clearance, the union environment and forests ministry directed that exclusion zone (where no person can reside) must be of two km.
The government has unilaterally modified it to be 1.6 km, and so violation of an essential condition would make the clearance void, he contended.
As the court directed the listing of the matter next week, it said that it would also examine the environmental and safety aspects of the plant.

Easter craft: DIY ideas for kids
Published 23 March 2016 by Kyri Levendi
We're sure your kids will love taking part in these Easter crafts and they won't cost you a fortune to make either!
With Easter just around the corner, you're probably wondering how you're going to keep the kids entertained for the few days that they're off. But don't worry, just because they'll be in the house doesn't mean that you have to spend a fortune to keep them occupied – these Easter DIY craft ideas could be all you need.
Egg carton chicks
For a simple craft idea that you can do with the kids, why not try making Easter egg carton chicks? They're really easy to make and you probably have everything you need at home already: an egg carton, some yellow paint, a black marker and some yellow and orange card – that's all!
Your little ones are bound to enjoy making these and when you're finished, you could fill them with little Easter treats and use them as centrepieces. For the full instructions on how to make them, click here.
Bunny masks
If your child doesn't shy away from dressing up, you could help them make their very own Easter bunny mask. To do this draw the template of a bunny on a piece of card (making sure to include eye holes) and start cutting around this. Once you've got your template, decorate with pink card for the ears and cotton wool for the rabbit's fur, and finish off with string for the whiskers. Tie string around the back and you're all done!
Spring bunny jar
Got a spare jam jar handy? You could upcycle this to make an Easter decoration for your home. To start all you'll need to do is help your little one draw a bunny face and glue this on to the front of the jam jar. Then grab some white and pink card and cut out bunny ear shapes and stick them to the lid. Once you've done this, give the appearance of the rabbit's fur by gluing cotton wool onto the lid.
Paper plate Easter chick
Whether you're wanting to deck your home out ready for Easter or just want to keep the kids occupied for a spare afternoon, this next DIY could come in handy. You won't need much for these paper plate Easter chicks and once you've helped your little one with the fiddly bits, you could pretty much leave them to stick all the bits on.
For the eyes, you can either draw these on or pick up some cheap googly eyes.
Easter fingerprint cards
Fancy sending some cards around family or friends this Easter? Get the kids to help you make these Easter fingerprint cards. They're super easy to do and all you'll need is some card, pens and stamp ink pads – like these from Wilko (try to get the desired colours if you can).
Put an apron on you both and start to press your finger or thumb into the ink and then onto the card. Once you've got a good print, start to turn this into a bunny or chick – and there you have it, you've made a cute Easter card in no time at all!

Day 2.
Today I'm going to talk about my cats. I have two, one ginger tom called Hobbes and a brindle Tortoiseshell called Dita, who looks like she was painted by an enthusiastic toddler, keen to use all the colours they had access to. We've had both of them long enough that they both qualify to join our local vet's 'after eights' club, designed for the care of older cats and Hobbes is old enough to be considered geriatric in cat years, being around 80. To which all I can say is that if I get to that age and I'm as active as he is, I'll be a happy man. The fact that at sixteen he still runs around like a lunatic, plays with us and tries to eat hands is something I celebrate, though admittedly with less enthusiasm in the case of the last point. Cat teeth and claws hurt, and Hobbes has claws like glass at times. Both of them are in okay condition, but they both have issues that need addressing, and we're now so familiar with the vets we don't need to check in as the nurses know us by sight.
The reasons for this increased familiarity with the vets is two fold. First Dita is on a diet, so we've had kitty weigh in club every month or so to make sure she's losing weight. This is a pain. Dieting a cat is very hard to do, and even more difficult when you have two of the little creatures. We've slowly reduced the amount of food we give her, but rather than adapting to the new amount, she consistently asks for more, and though she hasn't had milk for well over six months, she knows exactly what the milk bottle looks like and that the contents are delicious - making tea has become an endearing obstacle course across the kitchen as she tries to get your attention and asks for milk. She's a lot more active, thanks to the diet and us encouraging her to play more (treat balls and laser pointers are wondrous things, especially when you have a princess who dislikes playing where humans can see her). The other side of her losing weight is that she's actually become more affectionate, more interested in sleeping on people and occupying laps. This is pretty new, both cats have had their stolidly independent 'we only sleep on you when its cold' phases but now that it's April, her desire to occupy humans seems unabated.
Hobbes has hit his first major medical problem for many years, though admittedly when we first met him he was recovering from cat flu, spitting pills out to leave in the corner of his enclosure at the RSPCA. He's had some teeth out and there's an ongoing issue with one of his forelegs, but they were all surmountable. The news we got a few weeks ago was that after some blood tests to see if he was okay to have his teeth cleaned (which cats need to be sedated for). We'd noticed h e was getting bonier, which Eve didn't like, and he seemed 'hangry' a lot of the time, wanting food and being more inclined to snap at me (believe me, its a good thing he's so cute). The blood tests revealed he has hyperthyroidism, It's hard not to take that as a sign of his age, a sign that he's getting older and slower and that we may be at the start of a slippery slope. I took him for blood tests this morning, so hopefully after the weekend we'll find out there's nothing else wrong with him.
I can't focus on the bad things with either of them. Not only is it just going to wreck my 'relationship' with both of them if I only see the issues they face, but they deserve better, they deserve to be true to their natures, Both of them are adorable, both loving and cuddly (though the girl cat does tend to turn into an experimental jazz singer if you hold her too long). Hobbes remains as fond of shoulder riding as ever, and spent a goodly amount of time on my friend Victoria's shoulders not so long, clearly approving of how comfortable they are. He's unchanged at his core and I still see the cat I met nearly ten years ago who happily spent over an hour swapping from my shoulders to Eve and back again, showing how much he'd deceived us the first time we met him; when he was all subdued from cat flu. He's still the same cat who I teased about studying for a PhD in a Dastardly Studies, only now he's a Professor in the subject, a catademic who teaches the kittens how to torment your human minions, turns in papers on poking, as well as dealing with funding disputes at Graymalkin University (yes I named the university, and the department... I'm a saddo*)
I know he has a girlfriend at a neighbour's house, that he continues to visit the neighbours houses, and that he rubs along beautifully with two boy cats who live next door, and who were probably his first proteges/research students. He happily potters about, saying hello to his friends and being lovely. If he hasn't killed anything (as far as I know) for a while I'm actually okay with that, for all that we got him to be a mouser. As long as humans tell him he's beautiful and let them sit on their shoulders, he's going to be a happy boy, and I love him for that.
Dita is content in herself, happy to bumble along doing her own thing. There's a slight fly in the ointment in the form of a new Queen living next door, but we seem to have a 'ignore each other and it'll all be okay', situation.
They both make me so happy, I could just spend the day reading around them and feel it was a day well spent. I don't joke when I say they're the apple of my eye. I wouldn't change either of them for the world, and I say that as someone who grew up around cats. They have been the best thing in my life for a while, and even though they don't understand English, they know all my secrets.
* My leg has been clawed, I think Hobbes is telling me he disagrees.

We haven't had a car in over four years so while we love weekend getaways, we generally don't spend afternoons viewing the city from afar. The last few days have been a unique opportunity though, as our final immediate family member arrived for their first visit to San Francisco. Visitors are a wonderful way to see your home with new eyes, but as a host, It can be difficult to think through things a guest would want to see on their first time to the city. There are always those traditional tourist spots, but the beauty of visiting someone you know is their off-the-beaten-path knowledge.
While San Francisco is a magical wonderland of the weird and wild, seeing it from the other side of the bay puts the size and variety of terrains into perspective. We took the ferry crossing to Tiburon, and dined on Mexican small plates at an outside patio overlooking the water. There is no shortage of cruises around the bay, but taking the regular ferry can save you a few bucks without missing out on any of the views. It's also a great way to break up the ride for those that get motion sick, and you can fill your day discovering areas outside of the city.
The company was wonderful and the food delish, but the real show stopper was seeing the city across the bay. It's incredible to see it progress from a compact downtown with skyscrapers all around, through the avenues, and into the lush greenery of the Presidio. I can't help but imagine how wild it must have been for those who arrived first to settle the land, and what it would have looked like during the gold rush boom.
As we stood on the top deck for our return ferry ride, there were jaw dropping views all around: the hills of Marin county, sailboats on the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, and our fair city coming closer with each passing minute. A change in perspective often sheds new light on things but I kept coming back to the same thought… great family and these views, how did we get so lucky?

The Expiry Date,
with, SKII
I recently teamed up with international skincare brand, SKII to discuss the concept behind their new film, The Expiry Date. The video is shedding light, (and breaking down the stigma) that women have to achieve certain goals by certain ages!
All over the world us women are facing age-related pressures, it's either meeting 'the one' and getting married, or finding your dream job and career.
We're all guilty of it at some point or another!
As i creep closer to the big 3-0 I can't help my mind wandering to those age old worries, should I be married (or at least engaged) by now, have I made the right career choices? If (heaven forbids) the whole 'blogging' world disappears, will I regret not studying and having a back-up career. Should I have gone into a more stable industry.
The pressure to keep up with others is always lingering in the background, even if it's not very noticeable. But why? I have always believed that everyone's journey is different, no two people are the same, so of course our lives and paths will be different.
And their ain't nothing wrong with that!
This film really spoke to me, because it's breaking down those walls and encouraging us to to speak about this, which I think is a great step forward!
You can take a look at the SKII short film here.

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain… But what if it catches you in Barcelona during your holidays? You don't want to stay in your hotel playing games and wasting your precious time here. So what should you do? Don't worry: today I have plenty of ideas for a rainy day.
Barcelona isn't a very rainy town: when it's raining in Barcelona, it usually doesn't last long. Plus most of the time it rains at night, not really affecting your day activities. But eventually we might get longer and more intense storms (and locals are usually surprised at them and ask themselves what's wrong with the weather, then, LOL).
A few top hotels in town provide umbrellas to their customers or rent them for a small fee (ask the concierge). Otherwise, don't worry: with the first drop street-vendors show up selling cheap ones. And now that you are well equipped, let's see what the options are…
Here are my 5 BEST ideas for a rainy day in Barcelona:
I know… When brainstorming for ideas for a rainy day, of course that's everyone's first thought. But be wiser than them: if you are planning to go to the Picasso museum buy your tickets online before leaving your hotel unless you want to wait in line under the rain (no fun!). Otherwise, choose a less crowded option: the Roman ruins of the Museum of History of the City are a great choice. BTW, many people would think that the Sagrada Familia church is a good choice in the rain (after all, it's a church), but I don't recommend it as it gets as crowded as the Picasso Museum (again buy tickets online or get a private tourguide to skip the line if it's raining in Barcelona) and it's hard to appreciate the beauty of the sculptures in the façade with the raindrops falling into your eyes when you look up… And don't go to La Pedrera either, as the rooftop is closed when it rains.
Another of the most popular ideas for a rainy day, BUT. Take it as an opportunity to go off the beaten path, and grab a cab (when it's raining in Barcelona I love the feel of being on a cab watching the city life bustle despite the storm) to take you to to the uptown shopping mall called L'Illa Diagonal, with its classy but not haughty feel. High end designers mix nicely with affordable brands that carefully chose the articles they'll be selling there.
A stroll under the gargoyles
Looking for free rainy day activities? If you aren't scared that it's raining in Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter has a mysterious and romantic feel under the rain. No crowds, and water pouring off the gargoyles. My favorite streets are those around the Cathedral and in Plaça del Rei, down Lledó street and over to the Born district to explore the alleys around Santa Maria del Mar.
Park Güell
Most people will think I'm crazy to recommend that, but it's actually one of my favorite activities for a rainy day. If a walk under the gargoyles isn't challenging enough then give Park Güell a try (but wear mud-proof boots!). So why would I recommend an outdoors park when it's raining in Barcelona? The rain has one great advantage: there are no crowds there. On an average non-rainy day, you'll have to struggle to find a place to seat on the ceramic bench, or take a picture with the dragon fountain. On a rainy day the whole beauty of the bench will completely display before your eyes and you'll be able to see the dragon without having to wait until a bunch of other tourists are done.
Hot chocolate!
And now a little reward for having survived a rainy day: a comforting cup of thick hot chocolate! (TIP: that's the must-do of all the rainy day activities for families!). Spanish hot chocolate is really thick, you can't really "drink" it: eat it with a little spoon or dip some delicious churros on it. The best chocolate places in town are in Petritxol street. So head there and enjoy! And for an extra sweet touch, order a "suís" (pronounced as Swiss) and they'll top it with whipped cream. Yummy!
With this list of my favorite rainy day activities in Barcelona, you don't have an excuse to stay at the hotel even if it pours!
AND BONUS! One more great idea that you wouldn't have thought about!
Go to the movies
Although most movie theaters in Spain feature dubbed films, there are a few of them that program movies in their original version: a cozy choice for an afternoon if it's raining in Barcelona! Look for the Verdi, Icària and Renoir.
