Re: Welcome to the Special Needs Car Seats Forum
Yes, it's sometimes offered elsewhere. Any hospital that wants to pay for an instructor to come out and sponsor the class can arrange it themselves; they just usually don't...
A little birdy told me there will be one in San Diego this summer (though that doesn't help you, maybe you can contact the hospitals in your area that are involved in CPS and see if someone wants to arrange for it.)CPST and Mom to Emma, 15, Bridget, 13, Maggie, 11, Katie Sue, 6, Jimmy, born May 2019,
and Becky, waiting for us as part of our eternal family.
Our '02 Odyssey, car seats, and seatbelts saved our lives. Now riding in a '13 Odyssey!

Television has been scientifically proven to produce many harmful effects on children and adults.1,2 From setting the stage for unrealistic expectations linked to low self-esteem and eating disorders to advertising unhealthy food and presenting unethical behavior as the norm, television can have many undesirable effects.
But some television shows provide entertainment while actually cultivating intellectual or emotional maturity. Some characteristics of these shows teach kids aspects of the real world that can help them understand how to interact with others in a positive way.
The following is a list of popular television shows that, in my observation, help develop a variety of valuable emotional, interpersonal and practical skills for growing children while providing wholesome family entertainment.
Love it or List it
Each episode of this program centers on a different couple – homeowners who are dissatisfied with their home. One homeowner wants to move to avoid making extensive repairs while the other wants to stay because of loved features of the home. The couple agrees to a remodeling and a new home budget while a real estate agent and a home remodeler compete to see who can provide the couple with the best living option.
There are many great lessons to be learned from this program. The couple agrees to come to a compromise after they each list their wants in a home. They are encouraged to be considerate and compromise with each other. The couple sets a realistic budget, not an extravagant price, thus setting the stage for compromises. The real estate agent and the remodeler compete in a good-natured but genuine competition and accept loss graciously once the couple make a decision at the end. Lessons learned include compromise, good-natured competition and setting a budget.
The Middle
This is a comedy about a working class family with 3 kids ranging in age from grade school to college age. The plots are humorous and often touching, usually highlighting the message that the characters are imperfect but generally honest and kind. The show, unlike most television shows directed towards kids, does not focus on extravagant wealth or superstar kids or superpowers but instead on ordinary kids who lack more talents than they have. The benefits of watching this program include exposure to normal expectations and watching a family work through some typical problems within a half-hour episode.
Chopped / Cupcake Wars
The cooking challenges in this show focuses on the swift creation of a tasty and attractive meals using unusual ingredients. Contestants have to think on their feet, work well with their team, and use constructive criticism to improve as the show progresses through each round. There is some occasional crying but the show teaches poise under pressure, creativity, and compassion for the loser, who is always presented as very human. Many contestants return even after having been eliminated on past episodes, emphasizing the importance of persistence.
Shark Tank
This reality show features fledgling entrepreneurs with business ideas that they want to take to the mass market. A panel of potential investors offer varying levels of financing and partnership in the young businesses. Unlike most reality show competitions, every contestant on the show can win. Business offers are made quickly and clearly which emphasizes the importance of strong math skills. Business ideas are praised, criticized and questioned, teaching the importance of self-confidence as well as the importance of keeping an open mind to constructive criticism.
The Voice
This show is about talented vocalists who compete for voice coaching and mentorship by celebrity judges. While there is certainly an emphasis on entertainment, this show emphasizes the importance of coaching and reveals that even talented people need to work hard to improve. At the core, this show also demonstrates the tough reality that great raw talent can't progress to the professional level unless it is packaged for general consumption similar to the message of Shark Tank.
The Biggest Loser
This reality show features obese contestants who need to lose weight. An emphasis on health, making positive changes, looking towards the future and not being ashamed of admitting the you need to work on self-improvement are central to the concept. Most importantly for kids, while there is a prize for the winner, the benefits for all contestants lies in the process itself – emphasizing the importance of working hard in daily life. For example, if a student is not number 1 academically or in sports or other extracurricular activities, participation is still beneficial.
Television, like anything in life, can be harmful, but an also be beneficial if used mindfully. Kids can get some valuable advantages from some television shows that teach realistic and useful life lessons.

And here we go again! As promised, this is Part 2 of my interview with the designers of the Cinema6 RPG framework. If you're not up on C6, check out their website, and if you missed Part 1, find it here.
Troll in the Corner: What are the biggest challenges that you have faced in the design process?
Jeremy Streeter: That is a tough one… The first thing that comes to mind is staying open to change, but also making sure a good process is in place for keeping things in working order. Anytime a lot of dependent mathematics exist within a game system it needs a lot of QAing to test for changes made in one spot not breaking something elsewhere. Beyond that its been about staying focused and persistent and not letting anything break attention from the goals to completion.
The Cinema6 RPG Framework is meant to be an ever-changing structure, designed with the purpose of finding and adopting the strengths of new ideas. The biggest challenge each day is accepting that it will never truly be finished, and that each day we move forward by improving it even more.
Brett Pisinski: Challenges, roadblocks and hurdles come in all shapes and sizes. Personally for me, one of the biggest challenges during the design process has been
time-management. Jeremy and I both have full-time jobs and lives outside of gaming which has proved tricky with scheduling. Especially when we get the Wicked North gang together for playtesting sessions. Jeremy and I work extremely well together and have developed a system that allows us flexibility while staying on task with the deadlines we set for our projects. We are passionate about gaming and dedicated to pushing ourselves forward when testing the Cinema6 Framework. We listen to our testers, challenge ourselves, and take all ideas into consideration. If you have tested Cinema6, we would love to hear from you.
TC: And what do you think that the biggest challenges of publishing will be? Are you guys looking to do a print version of the rules in the near future?
Jeremy: The biggest challenges of publishing are making sure we have products worth publishing. Apart from the basic quality c6 reflects of Wicked North Games and the various extensions we will eventually release, we definitely want to print something that makes table top gaming more accessible. A lot of our products will eventually be available in print as we progress further, but they will likely be available as print-on-demand unless some line of them really takes off and the print-on-demand service does not meet the needs of the product. We are currently seeking out multiple licenses for IPs that we view as worthwhile investments for Wicked North Games and the RPG community. Right now, we cannot say much more about the IPs other than they all make us quite excited. If anything pans out we will be happily discussing them publicly.
Brett: We've taken our first few exciting steps forward which will hopefully open the doors that will lead us to publishing. Echoing Jeremy's statement, we can not go into much detail here but as soon as the news breaks it will be up on our site. We have a few contacts we've initiated talks with so right now we're in the preliminary stages of obtaining a few different IPs. My personal biggest challenge is being patient during the process, especially since its fun to let the imagination go wild with "what-if's?" But at the same time, we've grounded ourselves with realism and that continues to help push ourselves while we continue to wait and develop our own content for Cinema6. In the near-future, after we've obtained some IPs we would love to see the core document itself printed so that anyone can pick it up and begin running adventures using our Framework. The ultimate goal here is accessibility which is why we've chosen to offer it on our website as a free download.
TC: The idea of free availability of RPG rules is something that WotC did well with the 3.5 OGL. In fact, it has led to a variety of new products, including Pathfinder. With C6 following a similar model, do you think that is where the industry is headed? Free access to rules, but licensed IP products for which consumers pay?
Jeremy: That's absolutely the direction of the industry. Tabletop games are not only competing with one another with a fan base for finding complimentary and organic feeling games, we are also competing for a share in time of those people who play computer-based games, which are driving ahead of the curve in both financial resources and growing a wider audience. A tabletop game that will last will have to adapt quickly, and also have the willingness to provide a solid foundation for an interactive level still not quite available. Cinema6 has a design at its base that involves computer-based design infrastructure, so it could more easily translate into a computer-based RPG experience.
A Licensed IP is the only real way to get a wider audience. We can reach a smaller fan base without licensed IPs through social networking and having a presence at conventions, but that will not be enough in this industry for the long haul. Role-Playing Gamers are looking for greater immersion, as provided by games like World of Warcraft, so to compete with them, tabletop RPGs must provide not only a game mechanic, but also a game "experience" that is associated with a unique and exciting IP. Without that investment in something more tangible with which to relate, a game company is preaching to a choir of millions of exceptionally creative people who all can go and create games on their own. A game company should serve to provide the IP on a platter so players do not have to think too much to play the game.
Brett: It does seem to be the current trend with RPGs – for both mainstream and indie games. Its also a great way to get people talking about your game while generating buzz. With Cinema6, our business model approach is we want to grow the RPG as we continue to develop the Framework with a community led effort as we reach out to all types of gamers. Every voice counts, and every fan matters. I do see this trend catching on in the near-future as more and more RPGs continue to adopt this method especially as more success stories continue to catch on.
TC: Lastly, if you two had to each pick one thing that you wish every gamer and GM knew about gaming, what would that thing be?
Jeremy: There is no spoon…
Seriously, though? For me, gaming is about friendship and exploring our identities through fiction. It is not gaming that I love; it is time spent with friends, eating snacks, sitting around a table, and intertwining our imaginations. Those with whom I game and gamed became my lifelong friends.
Brett: Within our core gaming group we have established a few "unwritten rules." As with any gaming group that's been gaming together for a long time, we've developed our own inside jokes, banter and list of memorable encounters. Several of the infamous "mishaps" during these memorable encounters have tipped the scale in their favor, or that seems to be the case whenever I run. So just before we begin every adventure, I like to remind my players: "Listen guys, we're in this together to tell a great story. This isn't about me trying to kill you." And yes, throughout the years we have all told and experienced many great stories.
Gaming is about friends getting that chance to goof around, and relieve some stress while dabbling in fantastic worlds that are not our own.
Much thanks to Jeremy and Brett for answering my questions. This was my first interview for TC, but I hope it won't be my last. Also, if you liked what you read about C6, stay tuned to Troll in the Corner for my First Impressions of the system. Hell, if I can find the time and the people, I'll try to run a session of it and post a full review.

We don't regularly pair up big breasted gals with small-breasted angels, but we've done so a not many times for novelty's sake and for a comparison to expose how big busted our models really are compared to 90% of the gals u see each day at work, at school or wherever. When people point out a big busted angel to me on the street or at a mall, no matter how hot she looks or how well her meatballs look in a tight top, it is nearly always a girl who wouldn't make the grade at SCORE.
Missy was a 21-year-old amateur model when this babe and Kerry Marie met for the first time to make this clip and a photo set. I don't make no doubt of she ever did everything else for any other studio. (Before she left, not at all to be heard from again, Missy did a hawt boy-girl scene.)
This is part of a series of BustyKerryMarie.com movie scenes that Kerry did in Miami with plenty of jack talk, toys and lewd role-playing. That babe was a sextoy inspector, a phone sex operator, an astronaut, a waitress, a hardboiled business executive and other raunchy dream characters. This babe didn't lay on a ottoman and wordlessly toy her cookie for 15 minutes in her movie scenes. She'd acquire into it and play.
Missy was cute and bubbly. Girlfriend material. I was very impressed by how this babe bonded with Kerry, by that time a very seasoned adult model yet out of the major ego that can come with fame. To today, Kerry has at not time lost her girl-next-door, approachable personality and her great ribald throat. Missy brought her own obscene face hole to the unveil. Together, their patter about love muffins and masturbation is very educational. For a greenhorn, Missy was very comfortable in front of a digi camera.
The idea here is that the gals are hosts of their own TV talk display, "Girl Talk," and are about to interview some adult models about the advantages and disadvantages of having large meatballs (they kinda disagree about this topic, naturally), but their guests don't flaunt up. So the cuties improvise and come up with their own ideas for providing quality entertainment. It destroys the boring shit I see on daytime television. This is what the public indeed urges. I'd adore to watch Katie Couric or Kelly Ripa do this on their displays with their lady guests. Love that will ever happen. At least I would stay awake.
So, years later, the verdict is still out on these skinny girl/busty goddess team-ups. Renee Ross did a Lesbian sex session in a motel years later with an 18eighteen angel named Sophia Sutra. Christy Marks posed for a few anatomical comparison photos with one more skinny legal age teenager. Linsey did a hardly any match-ups over the years.
Although I adore this video, I am convinced that the commonplace boy urges to see birds of a feather flocking together, no matter how sexy they are.

Hot, shaved lezzies! Short-haired angel Jodi was growing out her pubes in the Jan. '13 issue, but decided that this babe wanted a super-smooth kitty for her brace-face ally Sindy (who was likewise in the Jan. '13 issue) to take up with the tongue. "Sindy was dying to eat my twat, so I bald it for her! I am pleased I did. It feels so soft!" Jodi said.
Sindy's no stranger when it comes to eating damp pussy! Sindy has fooled around with beauties in advance of, so that babe knows her way around down there!

These 2 staff at the sex shop were bored as hell, with no customer coming in for hours. But what else would you do when you're Olivia and Lacey, 2 hawt darksome hotty's wearing next to nothing, and bored without their minds? Well kiss and take up with the tongue every other's feet, certainly! She hops on the counter and feeds her every toe, which this babe gently licks and kisses. That babe widens her legs and does the same to her slit, eating it to her delight. Her award is that that babe acquires some toys tested out on her, with her fur pie being banged by a jack rabbit before giving the same. They one as well as the other need to kiss every other's feet, and I think they discovered a fresh love!

The Big busted Maids Of Hooter Hotel
Here's Dominno. She's an exotic, skinny 'n' stacker who drilled her way throughout most of the rooms in the Hungarian countryside castle we inhabited for the Big breasted Riding Academy/Hooter Hotel shoot. And here's Katarina. She's a beautiful-but-shy slender 'n' stacker who gave a pair of hand jobs during that same B.R.A./H.H. discharge but did not fuck or engulf anybody…at least nobody I know of. And here they are, putting on a lezzie reveal for a lucky guest of Hooter Hotel, kissing and tit-mashing and jamming each other's slits with dildos.
One as well as the other cuties are Czech, they were about the same age when this scene was shot (23, give or take a petite in number months) and they hit it off great, even though one was a pornstar and the other wasn't. They do not have similar looks but they do have similar bodies, and they're the one and the other perpetually slutty, as I think this movie reveals.
The movie Hooter Hotel takes set in a hotel staffed entirely of sexy, big busted babes. Our gent from SCORE, using the code name Mr. Johnson, has checked in and runs into Katarina and Dominno, the 2 slinky, mysterious maids prowling the hallway. Mr. Johnson sees 'em out side his room.
"I've merely checked in a couple of hours agone," this chap says to the giggling duet, glamorous in their skimpy maids costumes that no other hotel on earth provides. "It cant be filthy." With a salacious laugh and a naughty smile, Dominno tells him in her hot Czech accent, "We make it obscene." That babe laughs. Dominno and Katarina go into Mr. Johnson's room, and away they go. Totally no cleaning takes place, although the girls do have pristine slits, and I am guessing Mr. Johnson rubs his knob to a shine.
After this scene was shot, Dominno ran off and fucked one of our studs. Katarina headed downstairs and gave one more smooth operator a hand job. One of the great things about gals is that, different from lads, after they cum, they're willing for more (most boyz fall asleep or watch TV). I suppose the bucks they rogered and tugged–and us, the viewers–benefitted from the heightened horniness the beauties achieved in this scene. You can call this a prelude to fucking and tugging, but I guess the scene stands on its own.

Damn – hot black angels getting wicked with every other, what could be more worthy? In this lesbi scene, indecent black whores Ninety Nine and Amille disrobe off separately in a bathing suit style shoot. One beauty a lighter skinned, mulatto type, looking charming in nylons and ridiculously high platforms, while the other is thicker and blacker – and that babe looks equally sexy once she is overspread in baby oil! Then the girls acquire jointly, licking with tongue each other all over and then moving down to some serious blowjob. They fuck each other with their much loved toys and acquire worked up to a sticky large O with their unsurpassable double ended dildo, both riding it to orgasm.

Autumn-Jade has gotten numerous requests to see her with an 18eighteen model with slight scoops. This sort of match-up (giant tits-little love melons) is not a recent idea and definitely has its appeal to a boy. Just the sheer contrast in chest sizes hits a scarcely any buttons. Autumn liked how Kate looks and Kate was game. Jointly in the SCORE Studio, they acquire indeed sexually excited, soaking the daybed with muff juices and Wett lube during their double-dildo scissor-fuck. This is a first for Autumn. Her previous Lezzie encounters were with very big breasted babes like herself. On with the reveal.

The Condusiv blog shares insight into the issues surrounding system and application
performance—and how I/O optimization software is breaking new ground in solving
those issues.
Before I cover considerations and recommended configurations in thin provisioned storage environments it's important to revisit why defragmentation of Windows operating systems is so important in a virtualized machine and/or virtualized storage environment.
The problem is that fragmented data in a local disk file system, such as NTFS, causes the operating system to generate additional I/O requests. For each "logical" fragment in the file system, a separate I/O request packet (IRP) must be generated and passed on to underlying storage layers. So for example, a file in 100 fragments would generate 100 separate smaller I/Os, rather than a single larger I/O.
This translates to an operating system processing a great deal more unnecessary I/O traffic, thereby increasing CPU and memory demand. In many cases that excess I/O is passed on to a Storage Area Network (SAN) and/or virtualization platform, causing additional unnecessary overhead.
In some cases, data that is in a contiguous sequence of clusters in a local disk file system will be physically contiguous on the actual storage media, i.e. the disk drive/array. This is generally a valuable added benefit, but by no means required for defragmentation to greatly increase performance.
Some file systems (e.g. log-structured file system) used in SANs may intentionally fragment data at the "block" level. They may coalesce random writes from the OS into sequential writes within the storage. While this will minimize I/O activity in the SAN, it actually increases the likelihood that the data in those sequentially written stripes is physically fragmented, because the coalescing process is not based on re-ordering of blocks as they map to a common file – it simply dumps the data to the media. For these environments, you'll need to check with your storage vendor regarding proprietary defragmentation solutions for their SAN.
Regardless of spatial proximity, the benefit of a fragment-free local disk file system (NTFS) is that your OS and virtualization platforms aren't processing extra I/Os generated, due to fragmentation, and will therefore be able to host more operating systems and process more data, faster.
Thin Provisioning 101
Thin provisioning allocates resources from an aggregate storage pool which is essentially divided into assignable units commonly referred to as 'chunks'. Provisioning storage in 'thin' environments is done in chunks that are pulled from that pool of available, and as yet unallocated, storage.
As data is added to a thin provisioned container, such as a Dynamic/Thin virtual disk or a LUN, that container increments, usually in a just-in-time basis, by a chunk or number of those chunks, depending on how many chunks are needed to house all the incoming writes. A chunk can be anywhere from a few kilobytes to gigabytes in size, and varies from one thin provisioning technology vendor to the next. In some cases it is a fixed size, in other solutions the chunk size is user-selectable.
How and when chunks are allocated also varies from vendor to vendor.
Many thin provisioning technologies provision for every write. They monitor blocks, and specifically changes to blocks. As new data is written, space is provisioned for it on a just-in-time basis, and it is stored.
Another method to provision space is based on the Windows volume high water mark. A high water mark, with respect to a volume in this definition, is the term that describes the last written cluster/block of data (the highest used Logical Cluster Number, or LCN, on the volume). Everything beyond the high water mark is assumed to be null.
NTFS Write and Delete Design
While not exactly "thin friendly", NTFS is undeserved of the reputation of being a problem for thin provisioned disks/LUNs. It has been mistakenly stated that NTFS carelessly writes to continuingly new and higher LCNs, until it has written to every cluster on the volume, before circling back around to clusters since freed up from file deletes. This is not correct.
When describing NTFS design as it relates to storage provisioning, we should first describe the various file sizes. There are three sizes for files in NTFS, and they use high watermarks too.
The Valid Data Length (VDL) is the distance into the file that data has actually been written, as it resides in the cache. It is depicted as the blue bar in the diagram. A VDL can include sparse runs interspersed between data. The highest written LCN that constitutes the VDL is the high watermark for that file. There is no data, at least related to this file that resides past the high watermark. Without having to actually write zeroes, and just as with high watermark storage volumes, reads attempted past the high watermark return zeroes.
The next step up is the File Size. It is the VDL plus some extra pre-reserved space that has yet to be written to (uninitialized); also called the file tail. This is the full logical size of the file, shown as the combination of blue and green in the diagram, and is terminated by EndOfFile (EOF) flag.
Lastly there is the Allocation Size, which indicates the full physical size of the file, and is comprised of the VDL and its following reserved space, up to the last cluster the file occupies any part of (may be some cluster slack). It is shown as the combination of blue, green, and red in the diagram.
To aid in writing new data, the NTFS file system driver maintains a list of the largest free spaces on the volume (i.e. the starting LCN and run length). When a file gets created, it gets created in the free space that most closely matches the size of data available to write, in other words a "best fit". Additionally, a presumption is made that a newly created file will end up larger than the size that is currently available for the operating system to write, and extra free space, an "over allocation", is reserved for the file so as to minimize fragmentation (see Microsoft Knowledge Base article ID 228198). The presumption is that the file will be 2, 4, 8 or 16 times larger than the currently known data size, depending on how much data is currently available for writing to the file in the operating system's file cache.
The file data is written to the volume, and the file is closed. Any over allocation is then released, returning to the free space pool and to the NTFS file system driver, if it qualifies as one of the largest free spaces on the volume. For this part, and this is a critical point, NTFS is very thin-friendly as when it reserves that over allocation, it can do so without writing to the volume (i.e. writing out zeroes).
All said, this process does not eliminate fragmentation by any stretch and hence the continuing necessity to defragment the file system.
One issue that does exist with NTFS, that presents universal challenges for thin provisioned storage, is the ability to recover space previously occupied by deleted files.
This is an issue because when files are deleted in NTFS, the file system simply updates its metadata to indicate that the space occupied can be re-used for new file writes. A deleted file is not actually removed/wiped from the volume. Therefore, abstracted storage layers residing underneath NTFS may not be informed about this now, newly available free space.
This creates a problem for thin provisioned storage which, if presented with limitations on re-use of space, could eventually exhaust all storage in the available pool.
A solution for this challenge, commonly known as Thin Reclamation, encompasses the awareness of space formerly occupied by deleted data and actions then undertaken to recover and re-provision that space. There are a variety of solutions available to aid with thin reclamation such as zeroing deleted clusters to the SCSI UNMAP / SCSI WRITE_SAME commands, and will vary from vendor to vendor.
Defragmentation and Thin Provisioning
As covered earlier, defragmentation is vital to achieve and maintain peak performance. When Thin Provisioning is implemented on a shared virtualization host file system, it creates a high degree of probability of thin/dynamic virtual disk files themselves becoming fragmented, adding additional I/O overhead. In those storage systems, solving fragmentation becomes even more important.
However, for all the benefits of defragmentation, it is important to be aware of potential side effects. The side effects from defragmentation can vary from one thin technology implementation to the next, so it is important to know how the two technologies interact.
Using special IOCTLs (I/O controls) in Windows, defragmentation is essentially moving data to consolidate file fragments and to pool free space into large contiguous extents.
Where the provisioning technology allocates space on new writes, a defragmentation process (which is actually only moving data) will appear as new writes. Additionally, the former locations of moved data will not necessarily be known to be re-usable. Defrag will therefore generate additional storage capacity requirements for every piece of data moved.
What can occur is that the new writes, are redundantly provisioned, which results in unnecessarily consumed space.
Thin reclamation can effectively recover the wasted space, as could executing a data deduplication process (which would recognize and remove redundant data).
Where high watermark provisioning is used, the watermark always increases and never decreases (on Windows), indicating less available space, creating a potential problem. If a file is written (or moved via defragmentation) to a higher cluster, the thin provisioning technology will need to provision space to accommodate. That is true even if the file is only moved to a high cluster temporarily.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, moving files "forward" can allow for space reclamation processes to better recover over provisioned space (depicted below).
The process of compacting files to the front of a volume is something defragmenters can assist with.
Proactive Fragmentation Prevention
It is important to evaluate marketing claims from defragmentation vendors about "eliminating/preventing most fragmentation before it happens"; as the technology behind the marketing claim can have differing consequences for thin provisioned storage.
Reactive solutions that rely on aggressive "free space consolidation" (packing files together) in order to rely on NTFS'es native "best fit" attempts will cause thin provisioned growth.
Proactive technologies that do not require additional movement of any data in order to accomplish their objective do not cause increases in thin provisioned storage. They provide the benefit of a largely fragment-free OS file system without any negative consequences for thin provisioned storage.
Patent pending IntelliWrite® technology, from Diskeeper Corporation, is such a proactive solution. IntelliWrite is a superior design (to NTFS native over-allocations) for reserving space at the tail of a file's valid data. IntelliWrite is smarter in that it looks at the source of file writes/modifications and learns their behaviors over time. This heuristic process means that IntelliWrite knows better how much reservation space an open file needs to prevent fragmentation. It may be the file needs more than NTFS would natively offer, or it may pad less. The result of IntelliWrite's intelligent over-allocations is an unmatched degree of successful fragmentation prevention (up to 85% success rate and more).
Best Practices
+Use proactive fragmentation prevention technology, such as IntelliWrite from Diskeeper Corporation.
+Know, from your vendor of choice, how they thin provision and what solutions they have for space (thin) reclamation.
+Defragment thin provisioned volumes when the corresponding storage growth can be addressed (e.g. a de-duplication/thin reclamation process)
+For high watermark provisioning, use a defragmenter that moves files to lower LCNs (i.e. the "front"). TVE and Titan Defrag Engines in Diskeeper and V-locity are designed to generally move files "forward".
+Use an OS/GOS defragmenter, or a defragmenter-mode that focuses on performance and not a "pretty" display.
+Apply SAN/VM vendor tools to eliminate fragmentation per their recommended practices for their proprietary clustered file systems.
+File sequencing/ordering technologies found in enterprise OS defragmenters can be quite valuable in many environments, especially performance-focused solutions on Direct Attached Storage. However, they can cause thin provisioned storage technologies to grow excessively due to their extra movement of data, so the general recommendation is to disable them or run them only when the effects (i.e. storage growth) can be addressed.

If you're a Windows Home Server enthusiast, you've no doubt heard the unfortunate news that Drive Extender (DE) is being removed from the upcoming new version of WHS (codename Vail).
DEv2 was, by all accounts, an ambitious project, designed to solve many storage problems for numerous Windows platforms (Aurora, Vail, Breckenridge). We'd had written about a technology partnership planned to assist with "garbage collection" for DE. The need to call in Diskeeper Corporation, I believe, was an indicator of the ultimate cause for its cancellation. Apart from time/resources, a.k.a. "money", there is no reason MS could not have solved the problem we were asked to help with, or any other problems for that matter.
The talent on the WHS team was certainly there, we know them well. The Technical PM for DE was a seventeen year vet at Diskeeper Corporation having formerly been the PM here for Undelete. A key consultant on the project was a file system guru who had worked with Diskeeper in the 1990's to implement kernel level code into Windows to make defrag, as we know it today, possible. We've had numerous meetings over the past many months and knew their challenges well.
WARNING! Objects in mirror are closer farther that they appear:
In science and technology, the end product often looks closer at the outset that it really is. You can only predict so much at the start. As you move along in research and development, many unknowns crop up that you have to understand and address. When you do finally reach the end of the road and look back, you realize you had to go a lot farther to get to the finish that you expected.
One case in point is the reason DEv2 used separate drive letters for each share. That was a solution to ensure that Windows Search would function. Windows Search does not work on "mounted volumes", which would be a superior user experience to assigning separate letters to each volume/share. Could Windows Search have been enhanced to support mounted volumes - yes (it is just software after all). However, that is another team at MS.
Now if WHS revenue was flooding billions in the MS bank account, Windows Search limitations would have been resolved lickity-split. As Paul Thurrott noted in an article yesterday, WHS is a niche product, that probably doesn't generate tremendous revenue for Microsoft. We developed Diskeeper HomeServer edition because we here love WHS (the company founder and top technical execs are all avid users), but mostly because we are committed to Microsoft's success - which is ultimately good for our business.
Niche products and pilot projects tend to be sandboxed and rarely get access to resources from other division within a company - and generally that is the right thing to do.
At the end of the day, I believe (just my personal opinion) that the WHS team simply had to develop too many features for too many purposes and had to invent too many workarounds to make those features work. The decision to cut features and make a deadline is the most difficult one for software managers.
Anyway, I hold out hope that we'll see DE/DEv2 in the future. DE itself can be a solution foundation for future of Windows storage. Just one thought that crosses my mind is "what if DE merged local and cloud storage?" A user enabling folder duplication, if cloud storage services were activated, could replicate right into the cloud without the need for another layer of backup products/staging?
There is still significant value in Vail. The thing that really distinguishes WHS from NAS devices is that WHS is a platform whereas NAS is an appliance. Appliances will do next year the same thing they do today - which may work for many. A platform, through new/added software, can be customized to be a great variety of things. You build onto the platform whatever you want it to do for you, and as you grow, it can grow with you. Because of that potential, it's amassed a base of passionate users with very high expectations (rightfully so).
One cool thing about WHS is the ecosystem that has evolved around it. I fully expect that any shortcomings in Vail will be addressed soon-enough in after market solutions, so I'll wait before I pass judgment on Vail and decisions to upgrade.

One of the more looked forward to updates to the Xbox 360 coming later this year is Microsoft's launch of their "Games on Demand" service, which will allows users to download full retail titles to their Xbox 360.
In fact, Microsoft's been cooking up this service for a while: their regrettably impoverished Xbox Originals library set the trend for releasing full titles to consumers digitally, and the Xbox 360's new ability to copy full retail games to disc were both signs that Microsoft saw a future in digital distribution.
So when "Games on Demand" arrives, can we expect simultaneous digital and retail release of upcoming games. Well, no, according to Shane Kim.
"There are a lot of complex issues to deal with here, especially if you start talking about day-and-date release with retail availability—which is not something that we're talking about at all, today. And publishers have to do some technical work in order to enable this. There will be decisions that publishers have to make from a business standpoint. But when it comes to us saying we want Games on Demand to enable day-and-date release of new titles, then there's certainly a lot of work we would need to go through. We're not anywhere close to that world today. We have great relationships with the retail channel—they're important partners. We sell a lot of hardware and software through retail channels. We have to be smart about how we approach this business."
Microsoft clearly thinks simultaneous release of titles digitally will hurt retail outlets, but I doubt it. Digital titles rarely go down in price and can't be resold, two things retail stores like Gamestop excel at. As Valve has shown with their Steam platform, there's no reason both retail and digital stores can't thrive alongside one another.
The quote is still disconcerting, though. It pretty much guarantees that Games on Demand, like Xbox Originals, will be an also-ran affair of old games, seldom updated.

A qualified understanding of the agricultural issue is required to meet challenges in the agricultural sector. The Masters of Science in Agricultural Economics will impart significant knowledge in the fields of business administration or economics that is applied in agribusiness, agriculture, and agricultural policy.
MS in agricultural economics concentrates on application of economics to the analysis of productivity, resource allocation, investment and trends in the agricultural sector, both internationally and domestically. This graduate program in agricultural economics also focuses on related subfields and applicable agricultural fields. It also includes instruction in economics.
The MS degree in agricultural economics teaches students to apply economic principles to the issues and problems in Agriculture. It merges the technical aspects of agriculture with business aspects of marketing, finance and management.
Students wishing to gain admission into the graduate program are required to have Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture, Economics or a related discipline. Some universities will ask that you take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
Masters Degree Agricultural Economics Course Content: The course gives you good opportunity to develop understanding and skills in Business Administration or Economics. You can choose either business administration or economics as your concentration. The business administration major offers courses in quantitative finance, cooperatives and agrimarketing, strategic management and production economics.
The major in economics present different choices among micro-economic theory, demand for agricultural products, environmental policy, international food system analysis and sustainable development.
The program of study for a typical school will consist of 5 compulsory modules in 1st and 2nd Semester plus 5 elective modules in 2nd Semester and master thesis in 3rd Semester. The 5 compulsory models are:
1. Agricultural and Food Policy2. Applied Econometrics 3. Environmental And Resource Economics4. Farm System Modeling5. Microeconomics of Food Chain
Examples of courses one needs to take are:a. Consumer and Producer Theoryb. Qualitative Research Methodsc. Market and Trade Analysisd. Economics of International Food Marketse. Econometricsf. Quantitative Methodsg. Research and Study Skills for Independent Learningh. Resource Developmenti. Advanced Farm Organization
Masters Degree Agricultural Economics Career Opportunities:Completion of MS in agricultural economics can lead to career opportunities in agribusiness management, agricultural finance and in government service, economic development and agricultural policy. The agriculture economics master degree also prepares graduates for entry into formal and non-formal teaching careers.
The recent structural changes in agricultural sector also provide good employment opportunities for economist with good knowledge in business administration or economics linked to agricultural issues. Agriculture economist also find jobs in private and public sectors which include banks, financial institutes , agricultural cooperatives, advisory services, support and interest organizations and authorities.
Many Master degree holders in agriculture economics can also setup their own business as consultants or start their own agriculture sector business.
Masters Degree Agricultural Economics Salary:Agricultural economics are not some of the highest paid professionals in the world. The average salary nationwide is $41,000 per year according to information we found on Indeed.com. Obviously, people don't go into this type of career for the money. They do it for the love of making a difference.

Femara for Infertility
Women with infertility issues may try the drug Femara if Clomid has not worked. Studies have shown that Femara (a drug licensed to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women) is at least as effective as Clomid when used to induce ovulation. Healthcare providers may also use Femara as a means of avoiding the problems with cervical mucus and uterine lining that can occur with Clomid.
An Overview of Infertility and Femara
Femara® (letrozole) is a prescription medication licensed to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is part of a group of medications called aromatase inhibitors. Femara may also be recommended in an "off-label" fashion to treat infertility.
Early studies have shown that it may be at least as effective as Clomid® (clomiphene citrate) in treating infertility. These studies have also shown that Femara may be effective in women who did not become pregnant while taking Clomid. (Clomid is a prescription medication often used as a standard infertility treatment.)
How Femara Works for InfertilityFemara is part of a group of medications called aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase is an enzyme found in various places in the body. These enzymes help produce estrogens (particularly, a certain estrogen called estradiol). As the name implies, aromatase inhibitors block these enzymes. By doing this, Femara helps to decrease the amount of estrogen in the body.
When a woman uses Femara for infertility, the medicine is taken for a few days near the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Temporarily decreasing the amount of estrogen in the body sends a message to the brain to increase the production of substances that stimulate the ovaries. This often causes ovulation in women who do not normally ovulate or who do not ovulate regularly.
In many ways, Femara works similarly to Clomid. However, Femara may be less likely to cause certain problems with cervical mucus. Clomid often causes cervical mucus problems, leading to vaginal dryness or cervical mucus changes that interfere with the motility of sperm.
Femara is also less likely to cause the lining of the uterus to thin, as Clomid sometimes does. A thin uterine lining can make pregnancy less likely.

Sample Baby Shower Thank You Notes
Thank you so much for coming to my baby shower. You are such a good friend. I can't believe you got me that crib mattress. That must have been so expensive. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your friendship, and I'm glad you will be around as I attempt this whole being-a-good-parent thing. Lets get together soon for a girls night out. Or come over, and I'll make you that casserole you love so much.
With deep appreciation,
This is a great thank you note. Jane shows not only how happy she was to receive the baby gift, but how glad she is to have such a great friend. By inviting Mary over for dinner, the note serves the duel purpose of thank you note and invitation.
I greatly appreciate the gift that you got for my baby boy. In just a few short weeks we will be able to enjoy him outside of the tummy. With your wonderful gift we will be able to make sure that he has a comfortable environment.
This is a considerably general note but still shows appreciation. Jessica tells Corrie how thankful she is for the gifts that she was given, and looks forward to a time when everyone (including the baby) can get to hang out together again.
I had so much fun chatting with you at the shower. The "baby survival kit†that you gave me was perfect. You can never have enough wet wipes, diapers, and butt-paste! I will be sure that you get to use them. Lol.
Love you!
From this thank you note, you should notice that Marsha and Terra are close friends. This is a great note to show endearment and thankfulness. It should always be your goal to put a smile on the face of the person you're writing. Take this into consideration with your thank you note wording.
The handmade blanket that you mother gave me was amazing. I can not believe how much talent one person can hold. I know that Christian will greatly enjoy the gift and so will I. The blanket is the perfect size to fit in his crib. Again, thank you so much and make sure that you tell your Mom thank you as well.
Big hugs!
In this note, Maria shows how much she appreciates the effort that went into the baby gift and the uniqueness of it.
Girl! I am so thankful that you put the food together. You make the best food and I was head over heels for those little tart things that you made. Can I have the recipe, please!?
Your food is always amazing, but it just seemed like you did something even more special today. Once Lilly is born we should all get together and I'll cook for you this time!
Jaylin expresses her thanks that Liesa was able to prepare food for the baby shower. She also allows emotion to come through, and by asking for the recipe, she shows that her comments are genuine.
Thank you for staying around after the shower to help me get all of the wonderful gifts into the car. You really didn't have to help clean up the kitchen but I can tell you that it went about twice as fast with you helping. You really know how to get the job done! You're a great friend!
Love you bunches,
Tonia makes Jenny understand just how appreciated the extra after shower help was by pointing out how effective she was and how she saved them time by helping to clean up at the end of the shower.
Thank You Note to the Baby Shower Host
Put some extra attention into thanking the friend who hosted your baby shower. The host is often times your closest friend. So, take the time to write a note she will cherish for a long time.
I was overwhelmed by the amount of work that you put into my baby shower. Do you know how much I appreciate you and the things you do for me? No? Well, its a lot. We got so many wonderful presents at the baby shower I don't think we need anything else major. So, I'd say the whole thing was a success.
Everyone had such a good time. I don't think it could have been any better, and that is all a credit to your attention to detail. I love you.
So thankful,
In this thank you note, Tanya shows how much she is really thankful by noticing the effort that went into the shower. She assures Patty that the shower was a success because of her, and she was able to get everything that was needed.

TIMOTHY SACCENTI/Complex
Macklemore is revealing he relapsed with drugs last year.
In a candid new interview with Complex, the "Can't Hold Us" singer (real name Ben Haggerty) says he had a lapse in his sobriety last year during a whirlwind year of success and fame.
"I held it together for a while. But, eventually, I stopped going to my 12-step meetings," the Grammy winner tells the mag. "I was burnt out. I was super-stressed. We weren't sleeping—doing a show every day, zigzagging all over the country. In terms of the media I was getting put into a box that I never saw for myself. The pressure and the fame—everything. All the clichés, man—like not being able to walk around, having no privacy, and from this TV appearance to this TV appearance, and the criticism, and the lack of connection, and the lack of meetings—all of that put into one pie was just...I just wanted to escape."

The Jak and Daxter Collection released back in 2012. That collection remastered Naughty Dog's original PlayStation 2 trilogy in 720p and 60fps for the PlayStation 3. Now, fans of the action-adventure duo will be able to play Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, Jak 3, and, as a new addition, Jak X: Combat Racing once again on the PlayStation 4.Instead of releasing as a physical or digital collection, gamers can now purchase each game individually via PSN.
The series comes with a number of upgrades over previous releases. Each PS2 title will support 1080p upscaling at 60fps with trophy support. Jax X will have a new splitscreen mode, but support none of the online features. Shareplay and Remote Play will also be available.
For those who haven't purchased the PS3 collection, the option to snag Jak and Daxter on PS4 is a pretty good deal. For those who already have the PS3 collection, the ability to grab just Jak X: Combat Racing eliminates needlessly having duplicates of games.
No concrete release date has been revealed, though the updated PS2 classics are expected to release later this year.

Robert Wyatt - Greatest Misses
- Stewart Smith
- 1 June 2010
Its title may be a wry acknowledgment of Robert Wyatt's enduring cult status, but Greatest Misses stands as a fine introduction to a truly great artist. As the drummer in Soft Machine, Wyatt was at the forefront of English psychedelia, but in 1973 a fall left him paralysed from the waist down, forcing him to rethink his approach to making music. In collaboration with his partner Alfie, and musicians as diverse as Brian Eno, Ivor Cutler and Paul Weller, Wyatt has created some of the most idiosyncratic and brilliant music of our times, infused with the liberated spirt of jazz and art-rock, and the soul of blues and Latin-American folk.
Ryuichi Sakamoto has described Wyatt's voice as the saddest in the world, but this fails to do justice to such a beautiful instrument. Wyatt's wavering tenor can sound mournful, not least on Elvis Costello and Clive Langer's peerless anti-Falklands War song 'Shipbuilding', but no matter how bleak things get, Wyatt refuses to let the bastards grind him down. Never preachy, his songs are inspiring in their dignity and humanity. 'Free Will and Testament' is as gorgeous a meditation on what it is to be alive as any, while his love songs are all the more moving for their honesty. His masterpiece, 'Sea Song' explores the joy and fear of falling in love through aquatic imagery. 'Am I yours, are you mine to play with?', he asks of Alfie, before concluding, quite beautifully, 'Your madness fits in neatly with my own.' Sublime.
