Since I am a big proponent of trying new things all the time, my life is constantly changing. The last 6 months alone, I have fasted (more on that to come), changed my keyboard layout, started a business, started meditating for half an hour each day, loaded vista (I did not say all the changes were good ), tried Ubuntu (I am usually a Debian fan), and that is just the short list.
• How do people deal with change?
• Fear
• Resistance
• Acceptance – with contempt
• Denial
• Jumping head on into it.
Let's look at change as an ocean wave. It is neither good nor bad. The only things that changes is our perspective on it. If I am under it and I can't swim, I would be afraid; however, if I was on a cliff watching waves crash as the sun sets, my perceptions changes to reflect one of beauty, awe, and the power of nature.
If change is a wave and it is approaching me, how can I react?
• I can choose fear and try to flee.
• I can choose resistance and fight the ocean, dig my feet into the stand and try and stay there.
• I can choose reluctant acceptance laced with contempt and withdraw to the dry sand or leave the beach all together and be angry at the wave.
• I can choose denial and pretend not to see the wave even as it over takes me and sweeps me out to sea.
• I can choose to jump into the wave, swim through it, and surf it. I can use the wave to my advantage and have some fun.
All the waves here are the same; the only aspect that changes is my perspective. How do you deal with change?
In the sprit of ProBlogger Group Writing Project here are my top 5 ways that I approach change, followed by the top 5 ways you might want to try if you are not the adventurous type.
How I approach change:
1. Research what I can. I give myself a time limit usually a couple days to a couple weeks depending on how big the change. Then even if I don't know everything about it yet, I will figure it out, but I need to leap and try it now.
2. Jump right in. I might not know how to swim, and I might not know how to surf, but I can have a great time anyway. (I really can swim, but my surfing skills are questionable )
3. Many changes can be temporary. If I don't like it, I can undo it.
4. If I see something cool or something that might be helpful, I try it. How hard is it really to try something new and out of character? It can be really fun and quite liberating.
5. Make it a game. This works especially well for me if I find this to be a hard but worthwhile change. An example of this for me would be getting up at 5 am all the time. I have not tried this but when I do, it will be a game. I don't ask myself, can I do this? But more like, what will I get out of it, how can I do it, would my readers be interested and get value out of this, can I make a bet with someone?
How to try and approach change if you are not too adventurous:
1. Take it slow. Baby steps still get you to the end result. Don't feel the need to kill yourself just to do it a little faster. If you like it, you can spend years enjoying the end result without a traumatic change.
2. If you have a goal you want to meet, set reasonable mini goals to meet on your way to bigger goal.
3. Remember change is temporary. If you want to make a lifestyle change then try it for a set period of time. Change does not have to be forever. If you want to stop eating meat, don't think of it as you are eating your last steak forever. Instead, view it as an opportunity to try new foods for 30 days. See what you think after 30 days. Once you have gone for 30 days, you can decide to keep it up, or not.
4. Make it fun. Change does not have to kill you. It can be something you have always wanted to do. Change to get up early, take up basketball, hike more, meditate, etc.
5. Get someone to do it with you. Find someone who wants to try not eating meat or going vegan. Find someone to play tennis with you or go for a walk everyday. Join a gym with open basketball. Take a class. Find a surfing buddy.

La Porte County Family YMCA
|Amount Raised
901 Michigan Avenue
La Porte, IN 46350
(219) 325-9622
The mission of the Y is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
The Y has been serving our community for 108 years. During this time, we have worked to meet our community's needs in many ways, including: • Opening our doors to all La Porte County youth during the Great Depression; • Adding pool and gym space to help residents meet their health and fitness goals; • Providing childcare, before/after school care and summer day camp our community's children; • Offering swim lessons to help children and adults safely enjoy our community's lakes; and • Helping kids get active through our soccer, basketball, cross country, track and other sports programs. The Y operates with the philosophy of charging fees to those who have the ability to pay, and helping those who don't. Our scholarship fund helps us ensure that everyone in our community can participate in life-changing Y programs. The La Porte Family YMCA Fund supports children and families in the La Porte service area. Please consider making a contribution to help us build a stronger community!
Last summer, our Y staff met a new camper named Dax, who suffers from a seizure disorder. His mom said although it had been a year since his last seizure, that could change at any time so their family is always on alert. Dax's condition also requires him to take medicine that affects his impulse control, so he worries somewhat about fitting in. Despite these challenges, Dax is a terrific kid who acts like any other kid his age. His mom and our staff worked together to offer him the best possible summer camp experience. He was able to participate fully in all activities and field trips. Dax was happy and excited to be at camp every day. When asked why he liked camp so much, Dax said, "Because it's fun and I got to meet new cool people and make new friends and I love playing Gaga Ball." He appreciated the camp staff treating him like everyone else and providing him with a sense of normalcy. We are very glad that we were able to help provide Dax with an amazing camp experience!

The green goddess of South Florida
By Camila Karam
As a newcomer to south Florida I am amazed at the perpetual sunshine and warm temperatures. The beaches here are par excellence and outdoor activities are at your fingertips! Appreciating the outdoors, I have always had a garden of my own. Observing my immediate surroundings, I did not see gardens in my community. I did some investigating and was led to Beverly Williams.
A gregarious woman, a caring community activist and a Master Gardener sums up Williams. She promised to get me involved in a gardening project and she kept her word. I began by helping Beverly in her home garden and she eventually was able to get me my own plot. I was so happy! Beverly wants people of all ages to go outside and get their hands dirty so they can discover the wonderful benefits of gardening!
Beverly is a genuine leader who cares about people at a grassroots level. She walks her talk and is building community for food security. She is a bona fide "master gardener" through a certified program at the University of Florida (FAS Ex-tension Office). However, her knowledge of growing food is an innate gift she was born with.
Her gardening project teaches participants companion gardening, composting, seed management, attracting beneficial insects and so much more! She has turned abandoned and neglected lots onto a thriving local food system. Open plots are available to local residents for a nominal fee. It is expected for participants to get involved in the caretaking of their plot.
All the effort in nurturing your garden plot rewards you with delicious, nutritious, organic food! It is truly a miracle to witness what a seed, dirt and water can yield! What a payoff!!! Another benefit of Beverly's project is that you meet the people who live in your community. Healthy food plus healthy relationships creates a healthy community…this is Beverly William's goal.
In this highly technical society and our questionable relationship with the Earth, Beverly and I have discussed the importance of exposing young people to gardening. It is wise to allow young people to get involved in the production of food. Pondering this, it might inspire some youngsters to become entrepreneurs. People always prefer to buy and consume healthy, organic food.
This could possibly activate a creative and career platform in some young people. They would be a generation that would be more apt to eat healthier foods and know the value of gardening. It has been scientifically proven that eating healthy food has a profound effect on the human body and its development. Gardening also promotes respecting our natural resources. You naturally become attuned to weather, air quality and the purity of water.
It is wise in my opinion to educate young people to the value of caring for the environment. They will inherit the Earth and all its challenges. The current system has no regard for the Living Library and we are paying a big price. In this high tech society, people have forgotten how to cherish the simple things of life. Cell phones, iPods, and PC's cannot produce life-sustaining elements. It is now being discovered that an "over-dose" of virtual realities is a contributor to "unclassified challenges" to the human form.
Action speaks louder than words. Many adults have be-come lazy and apathetic in creating powerful changes. We allow pessimism, politricks, and the media to kill our hopes and dreams. Many young people have an "untapped genius" in relation to the Earth that needs to be nurtured and inspired.
Gardening gets you in touch with the activity of Earth. Sadly, technology cares nothing about people, community and Mother Earth. So instead get into the" bio-instruction" of the Earth Mother. Beverly walks her talk with the Earth. Get involved with Beverly Williams and her "green thumb"!

This is the kind of headline that makes people like me shudder with the spectre that our State hegemony keeps growing and growing. There seems to be no end to the extent to which the State wants to interfere in our daily (and let's not forget, mutually voluntary) activities. Conservative MP Dr Sarah Wollaston (a former GP, so clearly completely unbiased), wants supersize junk food portions banned, because according to her, the state has a duty to intervene to protect current and future generations from unhealthy habits threatening to shorten their lives. From The Telegraph:
"The Government has a 'duty to intervene' and outlaw supersized portions to protect children from
's obesity epidemic, says Dr Sarah Wollaston. The former GP has called for a direct ban on "supersized" foods and drinks, so that manufacturers would be restricted to producing chocolate bars, junk food meals and fizzy drinks in standard sizes. "Supersized" food and drinks should be banned by law in a bid to combat Britain 's obesity epidemic, the new head of the Commons health select committee has said." Britain
When are politicians going to get the point? They should not get to dictate which voluntary free exchanges we undertake. We should enjoy that liberty – the very least of all liberties. We've already been taxed once on the earnings, and we are going to pay tax on the transaction - so for goodness' sake stop trying to dictate our actions and repress our liberty.
That's the normative issue - but there's another issue too - a point of simple logic. If the size of the portions are cut down, those who won't be filled up by them will simply buy two regular size portions instead of one supersize, or they will buy a few extra bits until they are no longer hungry. I'll wager that two portions of regular size fries contain more fries and cost more money than one supersize portion. Even aside from the taint of its oppressiveness, Sarah Wollaston's policy may well increase people's junk food consumption and decrease their finances at the same time - in both cases, the very opposite of what she wants to achieve.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Bridge (07/31/08)
- TITLE: The Way to Blessing
By Karlene Jacobsen
"Where do you think you're going?" Intimidation sneered.
"I'm going over there," Faith was beginning to wonder if she really believed it herself.
"There's no way!" He laughed. "You haven't got the right tools, and there's no bridge."
Faith knew Intimidation wasn't lying. It appeared to be true; she had no gear for mountain climbing. She could see no bridge. She closed her eyes as she remembered her conversation with Promise-keeper earlier that day. "I will meet you there," He said. "You can trust Me; I will give you everything you need to get to Blessing."
"I will trust You, Promise-keeper," she committed.
"What are you waiting for? Are you afraid?" Intimidation interrupted Faith's train of thought; taunting her. "Hey Mocker, come over here. We've got another one!" They joined together with one purpose, to keep Faith from reaching Blessing. Panic began to rise in her throat as they blocked her path.
"I will be with you always," she heard a whisper in her ear. Quickly, she turned to see who was speaking, finding no one there but the scrawny leafless tree a few yards away. She was hopelessly alone.
"Maybe they are right," her mind began to spin. "Maybe I don't have what it takes." Self-pity chimed in with Mocker and Intimidation; his voice sounding much like Faith's own.
"Faith, don't forget…Blessing is waiting and so is Promise-keeper." There was that whisper again. This time, when Faith turned, Love and Truth were sharing a space under that weak looking tree. They drew her into their embrace then poured her a cool cup of encouragement from the water cooler they carried on their back.
"Yes, but they are on the other side of this gorge, and there is no way to cross," Faith lamented.
"It's true; there is no visible way to cross." Truth seemed to agree with Faith. "Remember you must 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.' " (Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV)
"Promise-keeper told me the same thing, it's just so hard. I'm all alone out here." Her mind began to clear. "Wow, this drink is great, may I have more?"
Love smiled, "Sure, drink until you are satisfied, but you are not alone. Remember the promise? 'I am with you always, even to the end of the age'? (Matthew 28:20NKJV) It's almost time to cross." They must have talked for hours until Faith's heart and mind were once again confident in Promise-keeper's faithfulness.
"Will you go with me? With you, I feel so safe."
"Of course we will."
Just then, Faith looked into the distance and shouted, "I see the bridge!" as she took off running for Blessing, who was waiting on the other side. In her haste to reach the bridge, Faith did not notice Intimidation standing at the entrance to the bridge. She collided with him nearly knocking him off the cliff.
"Hello there Faith," said Intimidation once he regained his balance. "I hope you're not thinking of walking this bridge. The way is long and narrow you might fall. I am only thinking of your safety. Look at the bridge; it those planks are tied together with just a little rope. It certainly is a long way down, don't you think?"
"Maybe you're right, but I've got to try. Promise-keeper is at the other end waiting for me with Blessing. He said I can make it. It will just take some discipline and renewing of my mind." Faith's confidence regained, knowing Truth and Love were there to help her cross.
Truth grabbed Faith's hand as they started on the bridge, "Be sure to ask for a drink of encouragement whenever you are thirsty."
Love agreed, and the three of them set out across the bridge, certain that together they would safely make the journey.

Sweet Potato Casserole
Can anyone tell me how Pumpkin Pie sits at the dessert table while sweet potato casserole sits with the rest of the food at the table as a side dish? It's like someone thought it would be funny one year to slip a dessert onto the table among all the other dishes and the whole world caught on. I'm certainly not complaining, I just laugh every time I serve it with dinner.
I was honored to find out that my How To Spatchcock a Turkey post was featured in OXO's newsletter that went out to all their customers yesterday! If you're not already a subscriber, get on it! I think this method is going to be the trend this year. I see people talking about it all over the place.
So I'm still planning out my Thanksgiving menu and playing with all the tools from OXO. I wanted to do something with sweet potatoes, I had some pecans in the freezer and a casserole sounded like a good idea. The best part about this dish is that it can be made ahead of time. Bake it completely and then let it cool. Just put it back in the oven 10-15 minutes before serving so it warms back up.
You've got a few more days to get in on the OXO giveaway I've got going on right now so go check it out!
Sweet Potato Casserole
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter
Combine the brown sugar, flour, pecans and butter together in a small bowl and using your fingers, mix until combined. Set the mixture aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, salt, vanilla, sweet potatoes, egg and butter and stir un til well combined.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before serving or cool completely and then reheat for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Is an Overactive Bladder Disrupting Your Life?

When and Why Overactive Bladder Happens
Overactive bladder happens when the muscles of the bladder involuntarily contract more frequently and at inappropriate times.
Your mind reads those contractions as an urgent need to urinate. If you have "dry" OAB, you'll make it to the bathroom on time but it can cause a lot of worry and anxiety. If you have the "wet" form of overactive bladder, you may not always make it without leaking urine (urge incontinence).
Most of the time, doctors don't know what causes this mix up between your bladder and your brain with OAB.
What Else Could It Be?
There are also other reasons people need to go to the bathroom more often than usual or feel like they have to go. They could be:
- Side effects from medications, especially diuretics (water pills) and drugs with caffeine
- Urinary tract infection or other causes of bladder irritation
- Pregnancy or recent delivery
- Neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease
- Tumors or other abnormalities in the bladder such as bladder cancer
- Inflammation of the prostate or prostate cancer in men
- Nerve damage caused by surgery, injury, or disease (such as diabetes)
The Link Between Overactive Bladder and Other Health Problems
You should know that if you have overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, you may also be more likely to have some other health issues. These include:
- Urinary tract and skin infections
- Being at risk for falls with fractures, if you're a senior citizen
If you wake up from sleep two or more times a night having to go to the bathroom, this is called nocturia. Besides poor sleep, nocturia has been linked to fatigue, low energy, a harder time performing day-to-day activities, and a reduced quality of life.
Depression has also been linked to OAB, especially among people with urge incontinence without a known cause.
It is important to talk to your health care provider about all symptoms you may be having — even if you think they seem unrelated to your condition. That can help him or her keep an eye out for other issues.

The former president of the University of Colorado said today that President Obama gets an "F" when it comes to college students.
"He failed them because we have the highest level of unemployment for youth in this country in recorded history," said Hank Brown, a former congressman and U.S. senator who led CU from 2005 through 2008.
"I predict that the president will have substantially less support among college students this election compared to four years ago."
Brown's comments coincide with Obama's visit today to the University of Colorado, where his focus will be on preventing the doubling of subsidized student-loan rates to 6.8 percent in July.
Brown participated in telephone press arranged by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign; Brown is a delegate for Romney to the Republican National Convention.
Also on the phone were Illinois Congressman Aaaron Shock and Alex Schriver, chairman of the College Republican National Committee.
In addition, state GOP chairman Ryan Call and Aslinn Scott, vice president of the CU Boulder College Republicans, held a news conference in Boulder this morning to blast Obama, saying he has "failed young Coloradans."
"During President Obama's tenure college tuition has skyrocketed, student loan debt is on the rise, and youth unemployment is at an all-time high," according to a news release on the event.

TAMPA, Fla. - Derek Jeter might have found some of Hank Steinbrenner's comments funny, but Major League Baseball did not.
Commissioner Bud Selig spoke with Yankees' co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner and team president Randy Levine, two industry sources told Newsday yesterday, to remind them of his gag order on speaking publicly about labor issues.
Steinbrenner questioned baseball revenue sharing and luxury-tax programs, which he said Monday will cost the Yankees about $130 million.
"We've got to do a little something about that, and I know Bud [Selig] wants to correct it in some way," Steinbrenner said Monday. "Obviously, we're very much allies with the Red Sox and the Mets, the Dodgers, the Cubs, whoever in that area.
"At some point, if you don't want to worry about teams in minor markets, don't put teams in minor markets, or don't leave teams in minor markets if they're truly minor. Socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, is never the answer."
Asked Tuesday if Selig had reached out to him, Steinbrenner became defensive, invoking Red Sox owner John Henry, previously fined for criticizing baseball's revenue- sharing system.
"What, you think I'm the only one who ever said anything?" Steinbrenner said. "He fined John Henry, the owner of the Red Sox, for saying something at one point. The bottom line is I'm not the only one. Randy [Levine] has said some things. The Rangers' [Chuck Greenberg] was saying some things. Randy said some things back. John Henry . . . has made it clear before. It's not the American way, that's all. I think at some point, if you want a problem with really bad minor-market teams, don't leave teams with minor markets."

I'm not sure how to explain the kind of day I had today. There wasn't much that really happened, so there's not much value in going over the events of the day. Of course I haven't heard a peep from my wife, who is still playing the childish, fingers-in-her-ears, I'm-gonna-ignore-you-and-hope-you'll-go-away game with me right now. And of course I still continued to reach out to her.
Instead, what struck me about today was the general oddness of its energy. It's kind of hard to quantify. I was feeling kind of low for some reason. That happens from time to time. I looked at my wife's blog, which has been mostly dormant since this crisis erupted 6 months ago, and she posted a picture of a bee on an apple blossom. Okay… Guess I was just looking for any evidence there that things might be starting to get strained, although that would be the last place I'd find that.
What I did have plenty of today was barking. Barking, barking, and barking. Our dog is a herding dog and is typically very vocal, so that shouldn't be unusual. Yet since my marital crisis began 6 months ago, it now occurs to me that the dog has been unusually silent. She just isn't barking at all sorts of things as she might do when my wife and I were under the same roof. I attribute that to a sort of doggie depression. Today was different. She was very vocal again, and in some unexpected ways. She'd go into her crate, and then bark. She'd go into the bedroom, lie on the floor, and then bark. She'd come into the living room and bark some more. Sure, there were some dogs outside that she could hear, but nothing out of the ordinary. It just all seemed so random.
Dogs are able to sense things that we do not typically pick up on. One of the first things that crossed my mind was that perhaps there was going to be an earthquake. Dogs will do odd things before an earthquake. As a child, I distinctly remember watching one of our dogs circle around in the back yard in an uncharacteristic way about an hour before an earthquake hit. But there was no earthquake. So, I'm not really sure what it was. Maybe it was just a general energetic sense she had of things not being quite right. But it was odd. It wasn't brief, either. She behaved that way for a couple of hours.
Perhaps you're wondering what's up with the photo I chose to feature with this post. It is a bit incongruous, I admit. There's nothing to it, really. My parents are headed overseas next month and have asked me for some sightseeing advice. I found this picture of a British Airways 747 flying overhead and was reminded of a visit my wife and I made to London a few years ago. We were only there for a few days, as it was a business trip and I brought her along, and she wanted to shop, shop, shop. I wanted to get her to do some sightseeing, and she seemed only to be interested in the insides of stores. This is part of the give and take of marriage. What ended up happening was that my wife realized in the end that we had one day less in the UK that she thought we'd had, and suddenly realized why I was trying to get her to visit at least a few monuments. Then came the apologies… followed by a compromise: I will take you to sightsee in this particular area and make sure that we can stop by the Laura Ashley shop.
Well, that was then and this is now. I'm here in the comfort of my living room, and she is still holed up at Camp What's-It-There, some 40 miles from here. Honestly, I never believed she'd actually do it, that she'd move in with the adulterer, but it is totally consistent with her abnormally dysfunctional energy. She has a "new path," a newfangled "life mission" or whatever, and there's no way she can be wrong about that. It's a "life transformation," according to her. Mmmm-hmmmm. Transforming oneself into a destructive, immoral person is not really something to be bragging about, I think.
"The affair always ends." That was the advice I got, and have been given over and over and over again. "You just have to wait it out, and let it run its course." So that's what I'm doing. I'm waiting and waiting. I'm working on myself and reaching out to her. I'm doing as much as I can and being as right as possible in doing it, over and over. Meanwhile she's behaving like a drug addict who is dialed in to a source for a constant fix right now. I know she's going to snap out of it pretty soon, that the goggles are going to come off, and that the affair bubble is going to burst. I'm just getting seriously tired of waiting.

My recent blog post about Agresso taking on SAP in ERP (you might have thought I was just whining about "no news" in that post) led me to a series of ERP reports by a group called Panorama Consulting. The reports are free for download off their Web site.
(I think you have to fill out a form, the equivalent of an old-time "bingo card." Does any Web site have the equivalent of a bingo card? That's the send-me-info process in those old-fashioned things called magazines where you only filled out your information once - or better yet, attached your mailing label - and then got information in the old-fashioned mail about every subject you circled?)
Panorama talked to over 500 of you, so that's what makes the reports worth reading, in my mind. The reports provide a good implicit list of questions to ask when you begin your next ERP upgrade, even if I don't agree with some of the answers Panorama found in its research.
My disagreement is possibly a methodology issue. In terms of suppliers, Panorama says it talked to a representative sample of suppliers. That is, it said its reports' supplier distribution matches a Gartner market-share study, with SAP leading Oracle and Microsoft, followed by everyone else that claims to be an ERP supplier in a distant fourth place called "other." But Gartner's measurement appears to be share by revenue dollar, whereas a distribution by installation in the small and medium-sized business space (the objective) would probably put Infor first followed by Microsoft.
That's why I wouldn't put much stock in the findings about length and cost of implementation. The variability would tend to have little to do with who the supplier is and more to do with the scope of the ERP upgrade. Oracle probably has the most consistent results because it has the most consistent marketing focus in terms of size of company targeted. Smaller Oracle prospects get sent to NetSuite (which used to be marketed by Oracle and which is owned by Larry Ellison). It is also unclear which brand of Microsoft and Oracle ERP systems are included in these statistics. A traditional Great Plains ERP package would go in much more quickly than a traditional Navision package. Ditto for a basic J.D. Edwards AS/400-based system vs. a big honking legacy Oracle eBusiness suite with all the bells and whistles.
It is interesting that so many Baan installations showed up after all these years; Jan Baan should be proud. Given an effort to target small and medium-sized businesses, I would have expected more Mapics, the granddaddy of all ERP systems. Also note that Baan is part of Infor, so Infor is far and away the leader of Tier II, as it should be as measured by revenue.
Also note that I used the term ERP upgrade two or three times above. The big question is:
"What ERP software was the respondent migrating from?"
There are no unplowed fields left. Even if all you have is Intuit QuickBooks, you are already an ERP user. So this is a measurement of upgrade costs as much as implementation costs.

Virtualization Vendor Profile: Virtustream
Welcome to the latest edition of the Virtualization Vendor Profile. Every once in a while I'll talk with a smaller or lesser-known company, learn about their business, discuss some industry trends, and write up a recap.
A few years back, managed services was a big buzzword. But then people started talking about Software as a Service, then Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, Anything Else You Can Think of as a Service, and they wrapped them all up under the "cloud computing" umbrella.
But managed services are still alive, and they may actually get a boost from cloud computing, Virtustream CTO Julian Box told me.
"The managed services comes in on top of that," he said. "We do see them going hand in hand."
Virtustream is an infrastructure vendor that offers professional services, managed services and its own cloud platform, xStream. The Washington, D.C.-based company has spent 10 years in the virtualization market, doing live implementations since 2002.
Virtustream's infrastructure offerings emphasize management and, above that, customer choice, Box said.
"It's something that our client base is definitely asking for, to be very much heterogeneous and technology-independent," he said.
That philosophy extends to virtualization, where more customers are expecting support for multiple hypervisors.
"It's not necessarily something that people need today, but they want the choice going forward," Box said.
The demand for multiple-hypervisor support is growing for a few reasons, he said. One is that customers realize some applications will run better on one hypervisor than other. (Box used SQL Server on Hyper-V as one example.) Another reason is, of course, cost, and customers don't need expensive hypervisors for all workloads.
"You pay different prices for different capabilities, and customers want a choice," Box said.
These mixed virtual infrastructures will eventually grow into private, then hybrid, clouds, but Box acknowledged it will take a while for most customers to get there.

A Greenwich teen found unconscious at a fraternity house on the Indiana University campus has died.
Brian Macken, 19, of Greenwich, died Tuesday evening at Bloomington Hospital, Keith Cash, chief of the campus police force said.
Macken was not breathing when he was found Friday afternoon inside the Phi Sigma Kappa house.
Macken, who was not a member of the fraternity, was revived at the scene but remained in critical condition until his death. Campus police are trying to determine whether drugs or alcohol contributed to his condition and are awaiting test results.
Greenwich Time reports that there was evidence of "possible drug use" in Macken's dorm room but no signs of drugs at the Phi Sig house.
Cash told the Indiana Daily Student that police filed court orders on Tuesday for access to Macken's computer, cell phone and hospital records.
IU Police Chief Keith Cash said his department will be meeting with prosecutors on Wednesday.
Macken was a 2009 graduate of Greenwich High School and played for the school's varsity hockey team, the Time reports.
IU's Interfraternity Council postponed all large-scale fraternity parties indefinitely after Macken fell ill.

This list used to be known as Google Hot Trends. Trending searches are search queries that are rising in popularity rather than just the key phrases that are the most popular in raw volume. This isn't an absolute measure of popularity, as the most popular searches, according to Google, tend to be pretty steady over time. Trending searches are generally updated within an hour or so. You can explore a trending search by hovering over the item with your mouse and then clicking on the Explore In-Depth button. You can also share a link to a trending item through social media or by email. This used to be broken down into Hot Topics and Hot Searches. Hot Searches measured current trending searches or searches that had seen recent upticks in popularity, while Hot Topics was more about general Internet buzz as measured by social media streams like Facebook and Twitter. The Hot Topics breakdown slowly changed into Top Charts. Top Charts Top Chart shows trending queries around musicians, books, animals, cities, cars, and other items. An increase in search volume does not necessarily indicate an increase in favorability. Top cities, for example, often lists cities that have recently seen a weather disaster. People are simply more curious about the city than they were the week before. YouTube Trends or 'Hot Videos' You can look at YouTube trending videos (or "Hot Videos") through Google Trends. Note that this is a slightly different list than what you'd find on YouTube's list of trending videos. The refresh rate for YouTube trending videos on Google Trends is also a little slower than it is on Google Trending Searches. Continue Reading

UPDATE 4/7/10: Woodshed over at Ukehunt, blogger and content-creator extraordinaire, just put up a post about 10 common misconceptions (things that might be "bollocks"-- he is British after all) of ukuleles that included a mention of my point below about the win-win-win scenario.
Added my additional thoughts on it at the bottom of this post.
Just got an email from Tim over at Ukeeku, a new site billing itself as "A place to reflect on ukuleles" that said something like:
I think your readers would love this uke giveaway (Eleuke concert)And I think he is right, readers here will probably appreciate the heads up on a shot at a free uke. All you have to do to enter to win the ukulele is click the link up top and then comment on the post.
I am just getting started and would love for you to post this on your site. All the people have to do is comment on any post of my blog to be entered.
if you have any questions feel free to contact me
The free uke up for grabs, an Eleuke Concert CCK100BL-MP3
Basically, Tim received a free ukulele in exchange for reviewing it. He then decided to pass this along to one of his commenters as a lottery prize for checking out and participating on his blog.
This is a win-win-win, and something I have considered doing with my blog for a while now.
Winner 1: The ukulele company (in this case the makers of the Eleuke Concert CCK100BL-MP3). Even if the review isn't great, it is easily worth the cost of one ukulele for the potential of thousands of hits worth of free advertising from the review post. And honestly, if a blogger received a free ukulele from a company, they will at least be nice in their review.
Winner 2: The Lucky Commenter. Right now (April 6th) there are 127 comments on the page. By the time the contest closes there could be many thousands, but still, you won't find much better odds to get something worth $200 for the price of 1 minute of your commenting time.
Winner 3: Tim of the Ukeeku site. By getting other bloggers (like yours truly) to promote his site, he will increase his traffic and profile. When companies decided whether they want to give someone a free ukulele, the first thing they care about is the site's traffic. It's cyclical, which means there could be more of these freebies to come!
So yeah, this is a win-win-win strategy to increase his traffic, keep his readers happy, and give a uke company some press. I hope he keeps at it.
oh what the heck, there's also Winner 4: Bloggers like Ukulala, whose mundane existence is broken up only by an odd interest in successful cooperative survival strategies.
Re: Woodshed at Ukulelehunt's post and comment below.
From the post:
I'm going to agree with Woodshed -- to a point. I think free giveaways are boring but serve the purpose of driving traffic temporarily to a newcomer's site (see Ukeeku).
Last Minute Addition: There aren't enough ukulele competitions around.
This one was inspired by Ukulala's post today about the benefits of ukulele competitions.
As a reader, I'm am very bored of ukulele competitions. There's no real value to them in the long term. I'm never much interested in entering a competition where there's a prize I could just buy if I wanted.
From the blogging perspective, competitions might provide a nice boost in traffic for a few days but they aren't a substitute for putting in the hard work and building a site worth visiting.
HOWEVER, If Woodshed is including other types of contests, then I patently disagree. Contests that inspire people to 1) write their own songs 2) create tutorials, or 3) use any portion of their creativity are really a beautiful thing. Sometimes it takes a little push for people to get their own creative visions off and running, and a well-designed contest can inspire them to bring out something in themselves that they never knew was there.
Looking at the rest of the list he compiled, I think I am seeing a pattern: Woodshed (Al), doesn't like anything that pushes a storyline of the ukulele being a gimmick or a fad. He sees the ukulele as a serious instrument for a diverse repertoire of styles.
Included (and called bollocks) on the list are a) the myth that it's easy, b) ukuleles in schools, c) ukulele festivals, d) the uke is a primer for the guitar, e) that uke-themed contests are boring, and then some obscure stuff I hadn't actually ever heard (koa is a the best wood? Tenors are supposedly loud? Record labels have been trying or not trying to stop uke covers? Who knew?).
And ukulele competitions, especially ones that are just lotteries, are a gimmick. They are a gimmick for traffic, advertising, and free stuff. I actually agree with Woodshed that they are generally boring blog content, which is probably the main reason I haven't done one, but they can be a good tool for a website to get their name out in the beginning.
Sometimes I do like the chance to win a free uke, but it's the sweat and blood content that keeps me going back.

There is always room for dessert! Perhaps it is that old childhood saying that makes us all love dessert? Or just the fact that it is sweet, delicious, and a perfect end to a delightful meal? While wedding cake is usually the dessert du jour at a wedding, dessert loving brides are going above and beyond the traditional wedding cake and adding dessert stations to their reception. Los Angeles wedding desserts aren't about cake anymore, cupcakes have come and gone, its all about variety, fun, and interaction!
Dessert stations are basically a buffet table style setup that guests can visit. After a long meal, it's a nice opportunity to give your guests a chance to circulate a bit. Dessert stations can range from the totally elaborate sweet filled tables with every confection imaginable to simple-themed offerings. When it comes to dessert stations, just about anything is possible, just put your sweet tooth in charge!
Frozen Delights
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Love ice cream bars? While you probably can't get an ice cream truck into your banquet hall, an old fashioned ice cream cart makes for a great dessert station, complete with ice cream bars, sandwiches, and Italian ices. For those looking for something a little more modern and trendy, frozen yogurt stations are all the rage. Let your guests choose from a number of self-serve stations, just like your local yogurt shop! And while you have ice cream available, why not display colorful gourmet cones and toppings, or even a station to make ice cream floats!
Candy Crazy
Did you love candy as a kid? Have fond memories of picking a handful of your favorite treats at the corner candy shoppe? Fully stocked "candy bars" are popping up all over LA wedding receptions. Along with personalized wedding color M&M's, many couples are requesting caterers to include the nostalgic sweets the couple loved from their childhood. Malted milk balls, licorice, Red Hots and even silly candy cigarettes and wax lips fill glass jars and empty bags are available for guests to take home their favorites.
Healthy Treats
Dessert doesn't have to mean calorie laden chocolate covered decadence. A number of healthy, beautiful and delicious options are available for dessert tables. Anoush Catering is famous for their fabulous fresh fruit stations. Anoush Caterings use of fountains, ice carvings and special effects lighting serve to add to the grandeur of their elaborate fruit stations. Sometimes the sweetest thing is the taste of just picked farm fresh fruit! Light whipped mousse, fruit sorbets and lacey cookies can all make fabulous accompaniments to a fruit station.
You can choose to have one or a number of dessert stations at your wedding, let your sweet tooth be your guide, and let Anoush Catering be your caterer of choice, helping you make your wedding day one to remember.

Turkey Hats
I just cut some paper plates in half and glues all the stuff on it and then hole punched a hole on each side and strung some yarn through it and fit it to each kids head.
I think they turned out so cute and the kids had a lot of fun. And most important Zach was happy the whole time!
Happy Turkey Day

By Andrew Woods, ICS | Source: ABS, AWPFC, MLA, AWC, WI, AWEX, ICS
Wool supply to the market has fallen again this season. In August, Mecardo reviewed flock and wool production forecasts and, with some of its own modelling, concluded that the flock would increase slightly this season, providing a solid base for wool production. So, what's caused the variance between the August expectations and what is happening currently?
In July, Mecardo discussed adult sheep turnoff in the Australian flock, providing some possible scenarios for this season based on rainfall. Average rainfall across sheep regions the past 6-12 months has been on par with year earlier levels, below median and well below average levels. As a consequence, sheep offtake has remained at levels that flag downward pressure on the flock size (that is, above 10-11%).
Figure 1 shows the sheep offtake (the rolling 12-month sale of adult sheep to abattoirs expressed as a proportion of the flock size) for the past three decades, along with the official AWPFC estimate of the opening flock size. The shaded areas show where the sheep offtake was below 10.5%, coinciding with a build-up in the flock size.
The rolling 12-month sheep offtake remains above 12%. The annualised September offtake was close to 14%, with the October annualised offtake falling down to around 11.6%. A dry spring in many of the southern regions has maintained the downward pressure on the flock size, despite favourable price relativities between wool and crops.
A second factor is operating on wool production, and that is the breed breakup of the flock. Figure 2 shows a comparison between a rolling six-year average of lamb to wool prices (lagged by a couple of years) and the lamb offtake of the flock (the rolling 12-month total of lambs sold to abattoirs expressed as a proportion of the flock). The lamb to wool price ratio has an extremely high positive correlation with the lamb offtake. The rise in lamb offtake reflects a switch in focus to lamb to wool production.
The lamb to wool price ratio is lagged by a couple of years to provide some forecasting skill. The lamb to wool price ratio has increased in recent years. As such, we can expect the lamb offtake to increase in the next 2-3 years. This points to an internal downward pressure on wool production within the Australian flock.
The title of this article is, 'Has wool production finished falling in Australia?'. The answer to this question looks to be a 'No', a result of the continued dry conditions and high lamb to wool price ratios. Merino wool production is going to continue easing, until we have a couple of average or better season conditions. This seems likely to help keep merino prices at levels we have seen in recent years. Crossbred wool production is also under pressure this season. This reflects dry conditions again in western Victoria and south eastern South Australia plus lower clean fleece weights in central NSW. This will help prices, although Australia is one of many crossbred producers in the world.

Silver Springs Winery, located in Seneca Lake New York, has introduced an interesting concept for wineries - online tutorials at Wine101.TV. The tutorials consist of discussions on wine tasting and grape varietals. The first few episodes pertained to the labrusca varietals Catawba, Cayuga, and Delaware. The latest episode discusses Cabernet Sauvigon. The proprietors of Silver Springs Winery are Sari and John Zuccarino, whose Italian heritage includes 700 years of winemaking. The winery produces several types of vinifera and labrusca wines under the Don Giovanni and Silver Springs labels and some were recently recognized by Catherine Fallis (the world's fifth female Master Sommelier) in her latest book, Great Boutique Wines You Can Buy Online.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Red flag warnings for fire danger are in effect for a broad swath of Southern California due to gusty Santa Ana winds and low relative humidity levels.
The National Weather Service says northeast winds will blow at sustained speeds of around 30 mph in some areas on Wednesday, with gusts topping 60 mph in the mountains.
High pressure over the Great Basin will affect the region broadly from San Diego to Los Angeles, where additional crews are stationed in danger areas to deal with increased fire risk.
Humidity levels are predicted to slip into the low teens and single digits as temperatures rise into the 80s.
The warnings are scheduled to last through Thursday in the San Gabriel and Santa Monica mountains, the Angeles National Forest and the Los Padres National Forest.

When correctly implemented, point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solutions may simplify merchants' and acquirers' PCI compliance programs by eliminating clear-text cardholder data from their environment and reducing the scope of PCI DSS requirements. The Council validates the conformance of point-to-point encryption solutions and provides a list of approved solutions. The Council urges merchants and acquirers to consider the use of validated solutions for implementation in their payment environments.
This listing is for use by P2PE solution providers. Applications on this list are eligible for use as part of PCI-listed and validated P2PE Solutions. This application list is not intended for merchants, as these applications may enable potential PCI DSS scope reduction only when they are used as part of a validated and PCI-listed Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution.
