Peppers sweet & hot, Eggplant, Tomatoes, Naked Seed Pumpkins #7, Little Greenseed pumpkins #8, herbs-oregano-thyme-parsley-sage-bay, dried beans, fennel, polenta corn and the end of the seasons special gifts: dried tomatoes, fruit or vege snacks, pear, port, thyme conserve & red salsa & green salsa or pickles.
Scurvy Wenches and Privateers...Aye Mateys! We were boarded. These Buccaneers found the treasure at the farm. Strawberries! Not many baskets were filled, but they did a fair amount of grazing, and then they picked beans and ate pumpkin bars. Having made off with the booty, the pirates sailed off into the sunset leaving only us landlubbers.
Polenta Corn
On the left is the two farm implements that we rely on to get you the corn, a sheller and a grinder. Note the lack of gasoline engines, or electricity. The grinding of corn is fueled by elbow grease, and mine is just about worn out for the week. Good thing I had a little help from the pirates.
Remember the Naked Seed Pumpkin, the larger of the two is NOT edible. Only the little seeds are delicious. Please carve away and be scarey. The Little Greenseed is edible and has naked seeds (or should). If anyone gets one without naked seeds, let me know. I'm keeping track.
|My brother carved this awesome pumpkin
Okay, everyone turn in your boxes so I can put them away for next year. And, thank you for a great season. Seeds are pouring in from all over the globe. I have greens from Canada, roots from France and Australia, turnips from New Zealand and of course many wonderful things from Italy. I hope you all enjoy the dry beans. When we start the season next year, there will be fresh, finely ground Southern corn meal suitable for biscuits and gravy, more dried beans, the Italian polenta corn, greens, popcorn and all kinds of great things. So, if you are going to continue next year, please see Leo and leave him your deposit of $25. Thank you and have a great holiday season.

It's really hard to find a healthy dessert recipe, and dietary restrictions make it even more difficult. Sure, a "healthy" dessert can be a fruit bowl for some people, but let's be honest – we all want to indulge in a decadent chocolate cake from time to time, even if our guilty conscious tells us not to. But I promise you, this recipe is decadent, delicious, and good for you. Seriously. Guilt free.
So, how did I do it? I chose only the finest ingredients to make sure this cake is OK for those with gluten allergies, as well as Paleo-friendly, diabetic-friendly and candida-friendly.
Just some of the benefits…
Coconut flour is gluten free and nut free, so it'll play nice with sensitive digestive systems. Your typical "gluten-free" cake mix found in the grocery store typically contains a lot of sugar, potato starch, and not-good-for-you foods. Let's keep it simple, and real, here.
Cacao is one of the highest antioxidant whole foods – rich in magnesium, iron, and fiber. Cacao is also said to boost endorphins and increase mental alertness! (Sign me up.) It is also sugar-free, unlike the majority of chocolate you will find out there with added sugar.
Vanilla is rich in antioxidants and is said to enhance mental performance. It also helps relax the nervous system and reduce inflammation as well.
Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin's efficiency. Cinnamon is also said to boost brain activity.
The fat from the almond butter and unsweetened coconut shreds in conjunction with the strawberries also help to regulate blood sugar levels… and the coconut sugar/honey are great, natural sources of adding in sweetness without refined sugar.
So, is it really healthy? You tell me. 😉
For the cupcakes:
- 1/2 cup cacao powder (Navitas Naturals)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour (Nutiva)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt (or sea salt)
- 6 eggs (free-range, cage-free, organic)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (Native Forest)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar OR 1/2 cup honey
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cacao powder, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt.
- Add the eggs, honey/coconut sugar, coconut milk and olive oil.
- Mix well until smooth and combined. (I used my KitchenAid mixer, but a whisk will also work well.)
- Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the mixture into cupcake tins, lined with baking cups.
- Bake the cupcakes for 55-60 minutes or until cooked through. *Test after 45 minutes to make sure – oven temps may vary.
- Remove from the oven and cool.
- Spread the cupcakes with ganache and toppings.
For the ganache:
- 1 8.5 fl oz can coconut cream (Native Forest)
- 8.5 oz 100% cacao bar (Ghirardelli)
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt (or sea salt)
- Finely chop your chocolate bar. I like to shave it up using a chef knife to make sure there are no big pieces.
- Pour the cream into a pot over medium heat and simmer until just before boiling. *DO NOT BOIL.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Add in the chocolate to the cream along with a pinch of salt.
- Let mixture stand for 3 minutes without stirring.
- After about 3 minutes have passed, stir mixture gently until smooth after 2 minutes. (The mixture should look glossy and smooth).
- Spread the ganache over the cupcakes.
Final touches:
- Almond butter (raw, unsalted)
- Sliced strawberries
- Unsweetened coconut shreds
- Once the ganache has been spread over the cupcakes, drizzle some almond butter and place some sliced strawberries with unsweetened coconut shreds on the cupcakes for garnish.
*This recipe is Paleo, Gluten-Free, and Refined Sugar-Free.

How Large of a Round Table Will Seat 8 Chairs?
For a comfortable round table dining experience for eight guests, a 72-inch table is best. A 60-inch table can work with a pedestal base for a cozier dinner.
Ideal for fostering intimate, conversation-filled dining experiences, round tables eliminate awkward angles and sight lines, preventing any guest from feeling stuck in a corner or excluded. Round tables also eliminate sharp corners and provide a nice contrast to contemporary, straight-lined furnishings. To seat eight guests comfortably and allow room for full place settings, table decor and prepared food, a 72-inch diameter table is best, preferably with a pedestal base.
Elbow Room
The interior designer rule of thumb is to provide a minimum table space per diner of 24 inches wide by 12 to 15 inches deep. If you are using armchairs, add an extra 2 inches per person. Conversely, if you want a cozier environment, plan on a space of 22 inches wide per person, assuming armless chairs. Placing guests closer together, as is common at banquet halls, means a 60-inch table will accommodate your needs. Keep in mind, however, that instances where a right-handed person is seated to the left of a left-handed person, may prove awkward.
Take a Seat
Armless chairs average 16 to 20 inches wide by 15 to 18 inches deep, though some chairs are 24 inches or greater at their widest point. The size of the chair, or chairs if you are mixing more than one type, will directly impact the number of diners a table can seat. More ample chairs may increase the comfort and enjoyment of diners, leading to more leisurely meals, but you may need to split up larger parties to two separate dining areas or tables.
Bases Matter
The table base style influences seating placement: Pedestal bases provide the most consistent leg room. Tables with legs placed toward the outside perimeter of the table limit seating options, particularly for taller guests. Legs may also inhibit the ability to fully tuck chairs beneath the table to maximize floor space when the table is not in use.
If your preference is for a smaller, 60-inch table, be sure to select a model with a pedestal and purchase narrower chairs. However, if larger chairs or legs are important to you, you need a 72-inch round dining table.
Room Size
Measure the room for the table at its fullest length if the table expands. Allow for a minimum 32 inches around the table for traffic flow and to allow diners to push their chairs in and out without bumping into the wall. If you use wait staff to serve your meals, allow 42 inches to ensure enough room to walk in and out of the room without disrupting guests.
When the dining room includes a buffet or sideboard, measure the available room space from the front of the unit to ensure sufficient space.

About Best Natural Remedies
How Do You Use Best Natural Remedies?
Simply choose a remedy from our store and our herbalists will prepare your remedy and get it in the mail for you today. All of our remedies work in conjunction with your own body's natural defences; not against them like conventional drugs. Almost all of our remedies can be used by adults and children of all ages. Naturally, because our herbal remedies are powerful, you should supervise children when using any of our remedies. Our remedies are 100% free from any man made herbicides, man-made chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and are 100% organic at the source.
How long do Best Natural Remedies take to work?
A typical remedy can provide you with immediate natural relief. Healing time varies from person to person, but most will experience and notice improvements in the condition or the symptoms within one day.
What is the cost of our Best Natural Remedies?
If you were to seek a consultation with a qualified herbal therapist, the cost of the consultation and the cost of a hand prepared specific remedy (presuming they could do it for you) would run into hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, with no guarantee of success. By removing the need for a personal consultation, and by selectively ordering and stocking only the plant extracts that we know we will use, we have managed to keep the cost of each of our unique remedies well below $100 and some are as little as $50.
What People Say

The ladies in Customer Care are always willing to help and Joe Johnson has spoken to me twice on the phone to make sure I was getting the right remedy. A first-class company to deal with.

My son was off school with severe growing pains. I phoned up and a lady called me back. She recommended a remedy and I had it in my hands a few days later. Within two days my son was wanting to get back to school. It was a life changing moment for me, husband and my son. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It happens every year. One day it's blustery, bleak, and cold, and the next it's warm and sunny. It's time to plan and prepare your lawn and garden. Gardening can be a fun and relaxing activity for most of the year, but it is important to get an early start to help your yard recover from its recent hibernation.The first step to a successful gardening season is to inventory and inspect your tools. Beat the rush by going early to have your mower blade, pruning blades and other tools sharpened to a fine edge. You may even want to splurge on buying a second, well-sharpened blade for your lawnmower. That way you will have a spare on hand if the one currently on your lawnmower needs to be taken to be sharpened later in the season. A sharp mower blade is very important if you want to have a beautiful lawn. Dull blades can damage your grass and allow disease to creep in, which can be more costly in the long run to correct.If you plan to put in a new lawn or plant bed, or if you had problems getting things to grow properly last year, don't just sit there scratching your head. Your project may call for a soil analysis. A soil test will measure the fertility of your soil and help you determine acidity and pH level so that you will know exactly what type of fertilizers and/or soil conditioners are needed to assure your yard looks the best it can. You can perform the test yourself with a kit purchased from your garden center or hardware store. Remember to perform the test as early as possible, as soil correction is a process that can take some time.When performing your gardening inventory also make sure to discard any outdated or improperly stored chemicals. It is very important to inspect labels for proper disposal methods. Be sure any that you do keep or purchase are safeguarded from children and pets.Early spring is also the best time to make arrangements to buy sod, or for sod delivery, if you plan to put in a new lawn. Be sure to choose only moist rolls and avoid rolls with dry roots or yellowed turf. Tilling the soil where you plan to begin your spring gardening is important, but be careful before rushing into your planting. Your soil should contain no ice crystals. Handfuls of the soil should crumble easily.Perhaps you feel you are going to need a little help getting your yard into shape. A very helpful tip is to contact landscaping professionals early. The later in the season you call, the more likely you are of being put on a waiting list.When should you begin planting? This frequently asked question can be somewhat complicated and is not easily answered in this space. Weather, soil conditions, region of the country, and what you want to plant are all factors to be considered. It is best to ask questions at your local garden center as they will be most familiar with products and conditions that work best in your area.Finally, many successful gardeners feel keeping a journal is a great way to keep track of plants during spring gardening. You can write down what was a success last year, what was a failure, and what plants should be moved with the change of seasons. It will not only prove useful this year, but also next year when you may not remember all of the small details. With the proper early spring preparation, your gardening project can be the fun and relaxing activity it was meant to be.

Mission of the Organization
…to acquire, preserve, restore, maintain, display and demonstrate the Harvard aircraft and other aircraft associated with the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Harvard flies today as a symbol and reminder of all who served to preserve our freedom, and as a living memorial to those who made the supreme sacrifice.
Membership Application
CHAA was born in 1985 at a small grass airstrip in Woodstock Ontario, from the dreams of a handful of Harvard lovers who were determined to keep the legend alive. Today the aircraft collection includes four Harvards, a Tiger Moth, and a Yale. The collection is restored and maintained in two heated hangars at nearby Tillsonburg Airport.
Members gather each third Tuesday of the month at CHAA's Operations building adjoining the hangar, for regular monthly meetings at 1930 hours; and October – March inclusive, on the third Saturday of the month at 1000 hours. New members are always welcome.
Each spring CHAA conducts a Harvard ground school for interested members and prospective pilots. The flying season offers a wealth of air shows and ceremonial appearances across North America. Members are encouraged to join in all facets of the operation, from airshow support, groundcrew, research, social events and back seat rides, to the present restoration of a Yale aircraft which served with the RCAF in the early 1940's.
For qualified pilots, CHAA offers the opportunity to check out in our aircraft and to qualify in formation flying, based on RCAF standards. Our flight teams are noted throughout the airshow circuit for their graceful and polished formation demonstrations. A junior membership is also available to young people 16 and under. They are called the "Harvard Hawks".

Earlier tonight, I edited a question. About 10 minutes later, the OP edited again and (IMHO) made the post worse. Is it OK to rollback OP's second edit to my version -- Or does that break some sort of unsaid Stack Overflow etiquette?
Active 6 years, 11 months ago
Viewed 111 times
No, his editing was awful, a rollback is fine, but at some point I usually just let it go if the OP doesn't want to make his post better. If you do roll it back, make sure and check all he did to not miss any clarification that he might have also put in.
Actually, it'd probably be better just to re-edit what he did.

Foreward for A-Z: Hidden Stories In Mythology Around The World
The word 'mytho' comes from the Greek word 'mythos' meaning legend and stories. Many of us wonder whether there is some sustainability to it. How much is true and how much is made up?
But mythology is not a collection of lies but a collection of truth. These stories gave every culture a way of life. A way of living in a society following certain norms and regulations. What would have happened if we knew Gita as a set of rules and regulations? Man by nature is a social animal as proven by Aristotle. So he can't survive only on rules and regulations. He needs to know what would happen if one broke those rules. He needs to know about fear and consequences.
Mythology is very complex for the stories need to be explained rather than just narrated. According to Luc Ferry In his book, 'The Wisdom of Myth', mythology is the core of ancient wisdom. Some facts about mythology are:
The oldest living mythology is that of the Australian Aborigines. The stories of diverse culture stretches back to 40,000 years.
Most of the mythological stories tell us how the creator emerged from a cosmic egg or primordial ocean.
Ancestors play an important role in the world of mytho.
Not all content worshipped God but rather challenged them. So, mythology does not make you blindly follow of a faith rather questioned them.
Mythologies have always been of focus of all religion for the talk of the unknown, of life after death has always facinated mankind.
In my A to Z journey in the month of April, I would like to explore stories that have been initiated in the pages of storytelling. Most of them were characters that have played an important part in a big event – but have never been given the importance of a protagonist. Lost in history, but not forgotten.

History of the Abacus and Related Products from APH
Welcome to The Abacus, a site dedicated to the Art of Counting with Beads. This site is full of information that I didn't know-for instance, there is a specific way to use the abacus and only certain fingers should be used to count.
In the Introduction, which I found to be worth the read, you learn about the Basics of using an Abacus and how they are constructed. There is a java applet where you can see how an Abacus works, and you can learn how the Abacus is still used today. Note that screen reader users will have a hard time with this section.
The History section is exactly what it says-it's the history of the Abacus from it's earliest recorded origins to present day. There is a great timeline too!
The Interactive Abacus Tour requires you to have Java, and teaches you how to add and subtract on and Abacus. I thought this was really neat for people who use screen magnification programs, but is unfortunate that screen readers will have some difficulty. It comes with a built in tutor, and you can chose the style of Abacus you want to learn on.
The Calculations Section gives you the option of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication/Division, Square Roots, and Cube Roots.
The Lee Abacus section lets you browse the manual for the Abacus in two ways. Check it out.
The Abacus as Art - this section is dedicated to the art of Michael Mode who builds exotic abaci (abacus plural) some of these are really cool. My wife's favorite is the Abracadabracus model.
Now that's just enough to get you started with this site, there is a lot more for you to discover like the "Abacus: the Mystery of the Bead", and all the interesting articles on the Abacus. Count on having a good time.

- Minimum number of rules must be learned in order to arrive at an answer to a mathematical problem.
- Speed in using the abacus is not lessened with this method. Accuracy is increased, frustration is eliminated.

Berman & Wallace, finest Dublin Caterers are Resident Caterers in various stunning venues in Dublin. We can advise you of the venue that best suits your party catering needs. Our venues include:
Dublin Castle
"Dublin Castle (Irish: Caisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath) off Dame Street, Dublin, Ireland, was until 1922 the seat of British rule in Ireland, and is now a major Irish government complex.
Most of it dates from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King John, the first Lord of Ireland.
The Castle served as the seat of English, then later British government of Ireland under the Lordship of Ireland (1171–1541), the Kingdom of Ireland (1541–1800), and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1800–1922).
Upon establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, the complex was ceremonially handed over to the newly formed Provisional Government led by Michael Collins." (excerpt from Wikipedia)
Royal Hospital Kilmainham
The Royal Hospital Kilmainham (Irish: Ospidéal Ríochta Chill Mhaighneann) in Kilmainham, Dublin, is one of the finest 17th-century buildings in Ireland.
The hospital was built in 1684 by Sir William Robinson, official State Surveyor General for James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to King Charles II, as a home for retired soldiers and continued in that use for over 250 years.
The style is based on Les Invalides in Paris with a formal facade and a large courtyard. The Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London was completed two years later and also has similarities in style. A priory, founded in 1174 by Strongbow, existed on the site until the English closed it down in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s.
Farmleigh is the official Irish State guest house. It was formerly one of the Dublin residences of the Guinness family. It is situated on an elevated position above the River Liffey to the north-west of the Phoenix Park. The estate of 78 acres (32 ha) consists of extensive private gardens with stands of mature cypress, pine and oak trees, a boating pond, walled garden, sunken garden, out offices and a herd of rare native Kerry cattle. It was purchased from the 4th Earl of Iveagh in 1999 for €29.2 million. A state body—the Office of Public Works (OPW)—spent in the region of €23 million restoring the house, gardens and curvilinear glasshouses, bringing the total cost to the state to €52.2 million. Farmleigh was opened to the public in July 2001.
The Sugar Club
After opening in 1963 The Irish Film Theatre closed its doors in 1985. It would be another 14 years before the space would be used again and so it was in August 1999 that The Sugar Club was born. Built and run by Nicky Toppin and Oisin Davis, it has now become an integral part of Dublin's Cultural Community as a multi purpose Arts Centre. Irreplaceable Burmese Teak panels cover the walls of the auditorium. The tiered cinema seating was kept but replaced with plush velvet banquettes. A state of the art digital projector and high-end sound system were installed to give the best possible viewing and listening experience for performer and public alike.
Dublin may be a relatively small city but it is literally overflowing with creative talents from so many fields. Many acts and artists that could go nowhere else, have found their home at The Sugar Club and gone on to become extremely successful.

The demolition of Glasgow's iconic Red Road flats hit a major snag today when two of the multi-storey blocks were left partially standing.
What's been described as a failed demolition left more than 2,000 residents unable to return home.
They were evacuated from the area surrounding the flats before the demolition took place.
A GHA spokesman said: "The original plan for today's demolition was that 10 floors of the blocks would remain for dismantling, post blowdown, by machine.
"However, this did not go completely to plan. Over the next few days the contractors, Safedem, will carry out a review to determine the best way of now completing the demolition.
"Residents began moving back into their homes shortly after 6pm, just over an hour later than originally planned.
"We sincerely apologise to everyone involved for this delay and any additional inconvenience caused."
The Red Road flats were built between 1964 and 1969 at a cost estimated to be £6million. At the time they were thought to be the highest multi-storey flats in Europe.

Aluminum Patio Covers Ideas and Designs
Not everyone may be able to have a completely enclosed garden patio, or even want one, but it'd be nice to have some type of covering so you can enjoy your space even when there's a light drizzle happening outside.
That's why we've decided to compile a beautiful list of aluminum covers filled with functionality and fashion for a variety of looks and style themes. From skylights to intricate designs and details, there are so many ways to give yourself and shade while still enjoying what your backyard has to offer.
Let's take a peek at 12 amazing aluminum patio covers ideas and designs that will make your outdoor space beautiful and fun for the family, shall we?
Contemporary with a business style, this is the perfect way to spruce up an apartment-top or multiple-storied home. The modern foundation intertwined with "windows" or skylights for you to enjoy the sky even when it's raining!
A detailed and textured, the bronze cover fits perfectly into this Tuscan, dessert-styled design. We love that it blends into the scenery, flooring and kitchen module with ease.
So, even when the weatherman calls for afternoon showers, you'll still be able to grill up those hamburgers and hot dogs you've been planning for days.
We are in love with this cream-colored style. It gives this home's backyard a bit of light beauty and vacation-style appeal, don't you think? There's also a ceiling fan to help circulate the air when the humidity and summer heat hit hard, but with the addition, you'll still be able to enjoy those warmer months!
Sleek and contemporary, this one has a more stylish essence than functionality. It'll keep some of that shade off of your when you just want to relax by the pool without becoming burnt to a crisp.
But it also gives an overwhelmingly powerful and chic presence to your outdoor area.
This is a great example of a traditional patio cover for a family home. It's functional, the arch allows more light to pass through space but also lets you have some shade and coverage away from pesky flying insects or muggy, wet weather days.
Not only is the version itself delightful and stylish, but there's two for both areas of backyard enjoyment. Again, the foundation is made from durable metal and multi-layers and multi-tone textures help to create a more fashion-forward and contemporary look for a beautiful patio.
What's great about this style is the amount of light and visual you get. Just like adding a mirror to a smaller room to make it look bigger, this area continues to feel open and more spacious by not adding coverage that darkens are tightens the area.
Instead, it blends and lets all the natural light in, without the fear of drenching yourselves or your furniture it springs showers.
This may be one of our favorites on the list simply because this quaint and charming home, still looks like a home. Instead of creating an entirely separate space and style, this coverage blends right in with the house for a cottage, cozy feel.
You get the function you need without straying from the traditional, comfy feeling of the family home.
Take a look at this two-sided beauty! You have the luxury of grabbing the fresh, outside air from both sides but with the wind and rain coverage from the top and main walls.
This appendage may not blend in, but instead, creates an entirely different room and feeling of luxury right outside your home's doors.
Here's another beautiful example of traditional design for a family home's patio. It's Tuscany wrapped in a dessert style and it mixes well right into the rest of the house, which is a great way to go for function before style – which is sometimes exactly what you need.
We are swooning over this simple, yet modern version. Again, this space will get beautiful, natural lighting while steering clear of direct sunlight that will fade your furniture or evening when you need a night out on the patio but the light spring storm keeps you inside.
If you want something that will truly look like a part of your home and not an extra piece you added later, go for aluminum covers that will blend right in. Take a look at this ledge that helps to give shade and style to this smaller backyard.
There's a place to sip your lemonade and have a snack during your afternoon swimming without burning in the hot sun or taking away from your contemporary home style.

Caine Prize for African Writing
The Caine Prize for African Writing is named in memory of the late Sir Michael Caine, former Chairman of Booker plc. Shortly before he died, Sir Michael Caine was working on the idea of a prize to encourage the growing recognition of the worth of African writing in English, its richness and diversity, by bringing it to a wider audience. His friends and colleagues decided to carry this idea forward and establish a prize of £10,000 to be awarded annually in his memory.
As he intended, the Caine Prize is open to writers from anywhere in Africa for work published in English. Its focus is on the short story, as reflecting the contemporary development of the African story-telling tradition. The Prize was first awarded in 2000 at the Zimbabwe International Book Fair to Leila Abouela for her story "The Museum."
In 2007, Lannan Center, the GU English Department and Caine Prize committee partnered to establish a month-long residency at Georgetown University for the Caine Prize winner. During their residency, the Caine Prize winner holds office hours, visits classes, and gives readings to the public.

With Ubuntu and CentOS support, rPath spreads its wings
Virtual appliance maker rPath now runs on Ubuntu and CentOS platforms, though Red Hat remains a holdout. And now rPath has taken its appliance imaging technology into the cloud.
Raleigh, N.C.-based rPath Inc., whose tools create and manage virtual appliances, has optimized its software to run on Ubuntu and CentOS, a free version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, significantly broadening rPath's footprint. The virtual appliance packaging application already supports Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise and rPath's own Linux OS, leaving Red Hat as the largest gap in its Linux coverage.
"We are gradually adding more operating systems," said Jake Sorofman, vice president of marketing for the startup. "We want to help customers build virtual machines on whichever OS they like."
To date, Red Hat Inc., the largest Linux distro vendor with nearly 60% of the market, has declined to allow rPath to rebuild Red Hat's binaries to create a stripped-down JeOS (or Just enough Operating System) version that would run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), according to Billy Marshall, rPath's co-founder and chief strategy officer. To do so would require a contractual agreement that Red Hat has so far declined to sign, but rPath remains hopeful that Red Hat will change its mind in response to customer requests, he said.
In the meantime, rPath sees "plenty of opportunity" in optimizing other free Linux distros such as Debian and Fedora within rPath virtual appliances, Marshall said.
As a 3-year-old venture-backed firm founded by former Red Hat executives, rPath began as an effort to help independent software vendors (ISVs) create virtual appliances. With the rBuilder tool, ISVs combine a customized application, a mini-OS and any other components required to run the application, then enclose everything in a wrapper. The resulting application image or appliance, in turn, can be reproduced exactly an unlimited number of times and dropped on a hypervisor where it runs as a virtual machine, eliminating lengthy configuration and certification processes, according to Jake Sorofman, rPath's vice president of marketing.To the cloud and beyond
After getting its start in the ISV market, rPath took its appliance imaging technology to the cloud. Its rBuilder Online tool for creating Amazon Machine Images (AMI) has been used to create 43% of the virtual machines on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Sorofman said. Although rBuilder Online is a free, downloadable tool, the free product builds awareness about the on-premise, production version, he said.
Further, rPath's technology enables companies to create the specifications for a virtual machine, capture an image and deploy it either on a hypervisor or a cloud, whichever is cheapest, added Nathan Thomas, rPath's vice president of services.
The rapid growth of virtualization for application deployment has opened up the enterprise as a third market for rPath as companies cope with the downside: virtualization sprawl.
"People are constructing virtual machines ad hoc, unmanaged and unversioned," Thomas said. In other words, virtual machines have made application deployment easier but at the cost of more complex application maintenance and tracking.
To solve this problem, rPath created its Lifecycle Management product to automate many of the steps in deploying application updates and patches to the virtual appliance, Sorofman said.
"The difference is, rPath captured dependencies and relationships between application components during construction, so we can do a better job of managing changes and versions," he said. "We didn't just take a snapshot. We know what's inside the box."
Last year, San Francisco, Calif.-based KnowledgeTree Inc. used rPath to create a Software as a Service (SaaS) version of its document management software. Using rBuilder, KnowledgeTree created a cloud-based SaaS appliance without rewriting the core of its on-premise application, reducing the time to deliver the application in half, according to KnowledgeTree CEO Daniel Chalef. Instead of a shared-tenancy model where each customer has a partitioned sector of the cloud with its own data and user interface, rPath enabled KnowledgeTree to spin off separate, secure virtual appliances on Amazon EC2 for each customer.
"RPath provides a nice platform for rolling out appliances in the cloud," Chalef said. "And at the time, they were one of the only slimmed-down OSs we could get."
KnowledgeTree also is working with rPath on a revised version of its application that would provision and manage all the individual customer clusters through a single console.
"There's a limit to what the Amazon [cloud]provides in management technology," Chalef said. "This [appliance-based] lifecycle management will become really valuable."
Dana Gardner, a principal analyst at Gilford, N.H.-based Interarbor Solutions LLC, said tools like rPath should help companies adjust to fluctuations and manage their resources better while narrowing the gap between application development and deployment. Although the market for packaging applications as virtual appliances is still new, rPath's technology is mature and gives customers flexibility and portability in deployment options, he said.
"I expect rPath will be in high demand," Gardner said. Although there are alternative approaches, "its combination of hypervisor, virtual machine, application and OS in a highly standard way with Linux is a unique offering," he said.

Ephesians 5:1. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
So how do we reflect the glory of God? Paul tells us to imitate Him as our children try to imitate us. So often we are able to identify the parent of a child by the way a child speaks, looks or acts. We even see or hear ourselves when a little child plays. Sometimes that brings us up short. We don't like what that child is reflecting about us. Our question is what is our reelection showing about God? We say we are Christians (little Christs) but are we reflecting Who Christ Jesus is, how He acts, talks and loves? We are so good at imitating the world around us. Someone says something bad about someone and soon we join in. Let us study the gospels describing how Jesus walked this earth and ask His Holy Spirit to teach us to become good imitators and reflections of Him.

Whether one does it by chance or plans the entire execution, a great deal of emotion is expressed. It is for this reason that one should make certain that in the same light the marriage greetings that subsequently follow this proposal are significantly conveyed. This is to ensure that the recipients receive the same kind of significance that the couple accords the entire event. The next, obvious step is to share the news with friends and family. This is where wedding greetings are conveyed. If creativity and commitment are considered as an important wedding aspect, if becomes easy to capture and share the anticipation experienced at the instance when one proposes. In many parts of Canada, especially Toronto, wedding greetings are big business.
The main divisions of weddings are traditional and modern. They should not be confused wedding poetry. As a rule of thumb, traditional style weddings will demand formal wording with respect to the greetings while modern weddings will make use of contemporary wording and themes. In Ontario, the initial step is to determine the host. All families must have to contribute to the overall preparation to avoid potential friction. The next phase in drawing up the greetings is to look at tried and testes examples. There is no point in starting at the absolute beginning, thus one may make use of an attractive sample that may require a bit of tweaking and alteration to suite the theme in the planner's or bride's plan for the overall event. All over Canada, the next step is to create the invitation insert. These are placed in the card so it would be best to use good quality paper depending on one's budgetary requirements to achieve this. It is also a good idea to match the material and colors used for the insert with that of the card. Font selection is equally vital. It should center on the presentation. Thus, a good idea presented badly is far worse than a bad idea presented well. Toronto companies fully understand this. The final step is the actual addressing of the greeting cards.
Some Mississauga couples choose to announce their intention in a rather serious note. It may read, 'It is time to live up to the vows and promises of the love we sincerely pledged by getting married.' A flower and rings may form the background picture with soft pink being the predominant color. Such greetings delve directly into the subject matter creating an impression of significance. In Ontario, the citizens are open to a variety of ideas. Recently, a customer came across this in a store window. "At least we have agreed on one thing. We are now waiting for the day to say 'I do'." Such greetings give the greetings a heavier impact, humor being the center of the greeting to convey its significance. Warmth also accompanies this humor, so the invited persons are attracted by the emotional manner in which the greetings are conveyed. Thus, this also increases the significance of the entire message.
Wedding greetings are indeed powerful communication tools. As the wedding planner of Mississauga realize, preparing them is fun and the result rewarding. The manner in which the recipients react are a vivid testimony of the significance of the marriage greetings.

I get this question almost on a daily basis, does blogging consistently really work for getting leads. The Answer is a Resounding YES and today I'll tell you why!
Back at the beginning of this year, 2015 I started learning about blogging and how it should really be done.
I took an incredible course from my mentor, upline, and friend Ray Higdon because that's what you do when you want to learn something new, right.
So I went through the course and was amazed at the content, but even more I was amazed at how much I learned and how it really helped my blog.
Learning Blogging Consistently Like The Big Dogs
The first thing I realized that putting out content every so often and not being consistent just doesn't work. Let me tell you why. The top marketers are BLOGGING CONSISTENTLY and if you want to compete at all once a week or a couple times a month won't get it!
One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to blogging is where do you get your ideas to blog about? This is a great question and was probably the reason that most people including me don't blog daily or as often as they should.
In Ray's course, the 3 Minute Expert he teaches you about ILT. ILT is a method for coming up with content whenever you need it.
I – This is for Invest in your learning and education. It may be free, paid, webinar, etc. The key is to be in a constant learning mode to work on your personal development.
L – This is for Learning and using what you have invested in. Doesn't do much good to go to school and then never be able to or choose not to use what you have learned.
T – This is what most people don't do and that's Teach others what you have invested and learned. Most people will do the I and the L, but if you really want to be known as an expert in your niche then you need to add the T.
After learning all of this content, I started putting it into ACTION! When I started this journey my blog was at around 27 million on the Alexa.com ratings.
I wasn't getting any leads no matter how hard I tried, at least not coming from my blog.
I added one more thing to this journey I was on and that was to start using a system called MLSP. This is an amazing affiliate system, not an MLM, that gives you incredible training, tools, and support for building your primary MLM Business online and offline.
After blogging consistently for the past months and implementing just a few of the marketing techniques that I learned through MLSP here is where I am at.
My Alexa.com score has dropped to 287,000, in consistently getting 3 – 4 hundred new visitors to my blog daily and I'm generating 10 -15 new leads every day.
Here's a picture of the leader board from MLSP as of yesterday.
Have I arrived yet, not at all? Am I on my way, ABSOLUTELY!
This is a journey of blogging consistently and making a commitment to continue learning, growing, and teaching others.
Here's what I can tell you that my business has changed significantly and is changing on a daily basis because I chose to make a decision to start blogging and not just blogging but blogging consistently and with a purpose.
Here's the last thing I will tell you. MLSP has just launched their newest tool, MLSP Sites. All I can say is if you are considering going down the blogging journey then you NEED to get MLSP and their Sites tool.
Stop struggling and start BLOGGING!

Guest opinion: Fireworks lawsuit is unnecessary
Guest opinion
With Tahoe South's two annual fireworks celebrations meeting all state and federal standards, a recent lawsuit that could threaten the annual July Fourth and Labor Day events is totally unnecessary.
Water quality sampling conducted by the State of California's Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board in Lake Tahoe following the fireworks events has demonstrated that levels of pollutants of concern are negligible within 12 hours of the shows and pose no threat to water quality. In a recent story in the Lake Tahoe News, Lauri Kemper with Lahontan said that because the perchlorate had dissipated her agency determined there were no long-term effects to the lake from the chemical.
The water purveyors with intake lines near the barges from which the fireworks are discharged have also never reported any effect on the drinking water source as a result of the display.
"The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection encourages the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and its contractors to continue compliance with any applicable local permits, plans or requirements. NDEP does not require additional oversight of the twice a year firework displays," JoAnn Kittrell with the Nevada Department of Conservation & Natural Resources told Lake Tahoe News.
As one of the most regulated areas in the nation, Lake Tahoe has multiple agencies at the federal, regional, state and local level monitoring all aspects of the area's environment and ecology. The Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and Pyro Spectaculars obtain permits from the U.S. Coast Guard and the local fire department each year to conduct the shows. These are the only required permits for events of this type. Since their inception the fireworks have employed a rigorous cleanup protocol. The LTVA also has a pre-event planning meeting for each show with Douglas County Sheriff's Department, South Lake Tahoe Police and the Tahoe-Douglas Fire Marshal.
LTVA and Pyro Spectacular have worked collaboratively with the key regulators in the basin — Lahontan, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, in the production of the fireworks. Since the introduction of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System more than 40 years ago, no court in the nation has held that firework displays require an NPDES permit.
The fireworks used in the Lake Tahoe shows are designed to burn in the sky. If the shell does not disintegrate the remaining debris is primarily paper, cardboard and string. This is collected from the water after the display. Pyro Spectaculars uses a boat to patrol the fireworks display site for several hours post show and uses nets and other tools to clean up surface debris. The following morning a dive crew and another boat crew are dispatched. Divers cover an eight to 12 acre area, starting at the launch location and working outward, collecting general trash as well as any fireworks debris. While conducting the clean-up the divers have also assisted by removing invasive Eurasian watermilfoil plants from the lake.
The LTVA was only made aware of Joseph and Joan Truxlers' concerns about debris after the Zephyr Cove couple contacted media following the July 4 show. Representatives from the LTVA responded immediately to concerns and staff visited the beach and interviewed several year-round residents. Longtime homeowners told the LTVA that they had never witnessed a debris problem with the event.
Quite frankly, we're disappointed in what we believe is an unnecessary lawsuit. In 30 years, this was the first time there was any issue — it was an anomaly. LTVA doesn't need to be threatened with a lawsuit. If there's a problem we'll fix it. This organization has always been responsible, engaged and committed to stewardship of the lake.
We're involved with numerous partners in various preservation programs to best position Lake Tahoe as a national environmental and business model. As part of our guiding philosophy, we promote our greatest attraction, the lake itself, in an appropriate and sustainable manner. Tahoe is our home, too, and we know its spectacular beauty and clarity is its timeless attraction, and we'll always take that responsibility seriously.
The July 4 and Labor Day fireworks displays are among the area's most popular annual events and generate approximately $4 million and $2 million respectively, in revenue to Tahoe South each year helping locally owned restaurants, motels, retail and attractions whose livelihoods depend on tourism.
We appreciate the support we've received from residents and businesses throughout the local community and beyond on this issue. Most responses indicate that the majority is tired of needless litigation, rather that the solution is for local cooperation to ensure the continued success of the fireworks and protection of the lake.
— Carol Chaplin is the executive director of Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority.

Hayman to continue handing down wisdom at ORICA-GreenEDGEMon 26 Oct 2015
Veteran Australian Mathew Hayman will continue to hand down his invaluable wisdom from 15 years of professional cycling to the up and coming stars of ORICA-GreenEDGE in a new deal that will see him stay at the team for another two seasons.
Hayman joined the Australian outfit from Team Sky in 2013 and has most recently demonstrated his worth at the Vuelta a Espana where he lead and mentored Esteban Chaves and Caleb Ewan to three stage wins and fifth overall.
"I have been here two years now and it was a big move to come but I have really enjoyed my time so far," Hayman said. "I have been a part of some great wins and for me it wasn't a hard decision to return again."
"I don't think when I turned professional I thought there would ever be an Australian team, certainly not at this level. It's exciting, it's young and it's dynamic so hopefully I have something to add to that.
"We have a really good mix of guys now and we seem to be able to win on all fronts and all terrains and that's exciting."
Whilst many see the obvious leadership and influence of Hayman amongst the ORICA-GreenEDGE squad, there is no question the personal fire still burns within the 2006 Commonwealth Games gold medalist.
"I still get excited about riding the Belgian Classics," the 37-year-old said. "If you don't have any personal ambition it's hard to do all the training."
"The Classics are tough and it's really tough to get onto the podium. In the next two years I hope I can have a stellar year and achieve that.
"I am still ambitious for my own results but I take a lot of satisfaction out of helping the young guys and I hope that they enjoy it and take it all onboard too."
Sport director Matt White acknowledged that contribution to ORICA-GreenEDGE's developing riders.
'Mat is one of the most experienced guys still racing," White said. "Next year will be his 16th season as a professional so he obviously has a wealth of knowledge."
"We have been in little bit of a transitional phases with a lot of the older guys coming to the end of their career but with the role that Mat plays, it's crucial that he is around the young guys to pass that knowledge and information on.
"The Flemish Classics are a personal passion of his and that's not going to stop. I think he has some un-ticked boxes up there, especially with something like Paris-Roubaix and again the knowledge his has is invaluable for that group around him there."
Mathew Hayman
Date of birth: 20th April 1978 (37)
Nationality: Australian
Turned pro: 2000
- 1st 2006 Commonwealth Games – Road Race

Microsoft gushes over new Windows client, server OSes
Microsoft still recommends Vista first (kind of) but pushes Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to TechEd 2009 audience.
LOS ANGELES -- Microsoft will take advantage of its audience of IT managers and partners this week to deliver an old message -- it will emphasize the value of upgrading to a current product release even though new ones are waiting in the wings.
Here at TechEd 2009, the company will evangelize running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 together. Microsoft said this week that both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will be available at the end of 2009 -- a tad ahead of many expectations.
The company, however, still recommends that the vast majority of IT shops that still run Windows XP should move first to Vista and then to Windows 7. At least that's what Microsoft's Corporate Vice President Robert Wahbe reiterated last week when asked if the lack of Vista mentions in the TechEd catalog signified that the client OS is pretty much dead.
The "v" word was not uttered often at the keynote sessions except when Microsoft senior vice president Bill Veghte said that companies that are deploying Vista already should continue to do so, but that those that have just started testing should disengage and test the new Windows 7 release candidate instead.
At a session later in the day, a group of a few hundred attendees were asked if their companies had started using Vista: Less than a half dozen people raised their hands--a demonstration that is probably pretty accurate about the overall corporate uptake of Vista.
"At TechEd, we will focus on the new releases," Wahbe said. "We think the best way to prep for Windows 7 is to move to Vista …. We have strong promise around compatibility for the enterprise, small businesses and consumers. Vista is a great product with great compatibility [and] device support that will get you ready for Windows 7."
The best Microsoft can hope for now is to get Windows 7, also available in release candidate form, out soon, some partners said. "Then they'll get more Win 7 deployments in the first few months than we saw in the first whole year or more with Vista," said one long-time partner on the West Coast. "So far, test results have found Win 7 to be more compatible. It runs on systems with less memory and [lesser] processors, and overall [it] just works better from the get-go than Vista."
This report was updated Monday afternoon with additional information from the show.

One suggestion is that you should select cards that cover a wide range of numbers. Someone has calculated that in three cards chosen at random, the combined 72 squares will average 22 duplicate numbers and 25 missing numbers. So, it's reasoned, you should choose cards that cover as many of the seventy five numbers as possible. That makes sense in terms of hitting on more numbers as they're drawn, which is good for a psychological boost, but some players might argue that a single number that shows up on three cards is as helpful as three numbers that show up on one card each.
Online bingo card to avoid are not just those associated with low joining bonuses or those based overseas. Online gaming is great fun.

What is toluene?
Toluene is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, sweet, and pungent odor. It occurs naturally in crude oil. Toluene has a chemical formula of C7H8.
Toluene is used as a solvent, and to make aviation gasoline, spray and wall paints, paint thinner, medicine, dyes, explosives, detergents, fingernail polish, spot removers, lacquers, adhesives, rubber, and antifreeze. It is also used in some printing and leather tanning processes.
The largest industrial use of toluene is in the production of benzene, a chemical used to make plastics and synthetic fibers. Toluene is also used to boost the octane of gasoline.
You can be exposed to toluene by breathing automobile exhaust, pumping gasoline, consuming contaminated food or water, or using other products that contain toluene, such as kerosene, heating oil, paints, and lacquers.
You can be exposed to toluene at work by breathing contaminated air, or having skin contact with it.
You can be exposed to toluene in your community if toluene is released in a fire or spill, or has been contaminating water or air for a long time.
Inhaling high levels of toluene can cause death or unconsciousness. Repeatedly breathing toluene over long periods of time at work, or through deliberately "sniffing" or "huffing" glue or paint, can cause death, permanent brain damage, or depression. If you are pregnant, repeated exposure to toluene may increase the risk of damage to the fetus.
Exposure to high levels of toluene may affect your kidneys, nervous system, liver, brain, and heart. Direct, prolonged contact with liquid toluene or vapor can irritate the eyes, and cause dry skin and skin rashes. Ingesting toluene can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and difficult breathing.
Exposure to low to moderate levels of toluene can cause confusion, light-headedness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, weakness, memory loss, nausea, appetite loss, coughing, wheezing, and hearing and color vision loss.
If you think you have been exposed to toluene, contact your health care professional.

One-way Synchronizing between Outlook and iPhone calendars
Can somebody please tell me the most suitable way of syncing my Outlook calendar with my iPhone calendar but not have my events in my iPhone calendar sync with my Outlook calendar?
The outlook calendar is from the office outlook which is shared with my other co-workers, and of course the events in my iPhone is personal, so I would like to be able to have my office outlook calendar on my iPhone but not have my personal calendar in my iPhone be in the office outlook (for obvious reasons). Is there such a thing as one-way sync?
Thanks so much in advance.
