When Cisco began shipping UCS slightly over two years ago, competitor reaction ranged the gamut from concerned to gleefully dismissive of their chances at success in the server market. The reasons given for their guaranteed lack of success were a combination of technical (the product won't really work), the economics (Cisco can't live on server margins) to cultural (Cisco doesn't know servers and can't succeed in a market where they are not the quasi-monopolistic dominating player). Some ignored them, and some attempted to preemptively introduce products that delivered similar functionality, and in the two years following introduction, competitive reaction was very similar – yes they are selling, but we don't think they are a significant threat.
Any lingering doubt about whether Cisco can become a credible supplier has been laid to rest with Cisco's recent quarterly financial disclosures and IDC's revelation that Cisco is now the No. 3 worldwide blade vendor, with slightly over 10% of worldwide (and close to 20% in North America) blade server shipments. In their quarterly call, Cisco revealed Q1 revenues of $171 million, for a $684 million revenue run rate, and claimed a booking run rate of $900 million annually. In addition, they placed their total customer count at 5,400. While actual customer count is hard to verify, Cisco has been reporting a steady and impressive growth in customers since initial shipment, and Forrester's anecdotal data confirms both the significant interest and installed UCS systems among Forrester's clients.

Susan Dromey-Heeter's Budget Vogue -- Summer bliss: books, beach baking ...
SUSAN DROMEY-HEETER | July 12. 2013 11:09PM
I recently found Mary Roach's "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" at the Full Circle Thrift Shop in Eliot, Maine. Who knew cadavers could be so interesting, curiously fascinating and really amazing in their after-lives? Really.
"What is beach baking?" you ask. When I write my own cookbook - which you might find at an exchange someday - it will be titled "Beach Baking" and will have three recipes: for melted M&M's, warmed chocolate chip cookies and the grand finale: warmed goat cheese on a French baguette.
1. Place bag of M&M's/chocolate chip cookies/goat cheese and French baguette on a small table you've brought to the beach.
2. Allow the ingredients and yourself to melt in the sun.
4. Bask in the joy of a full stomach under the sun. On the beach. Listening to the surf. Ahhhh ... bliss.
You are invited to try out these recipes before my book comes out. I am in the process of looking for a publisher. It may be awhile.Finally, another book I never would have known about had I not found it at Full Circle Thrift is "Talking with My Mouth Full: Crab Cakes, Bundt Cake and Other Kitchen Stories." Written by NPR's "Weekend Edition" food commentator, Bonny Wolf, this is a fun, laugh-out-loud read. Initially I thought it would be filled with words like "organic," "caviar," "truffles" and "bouillabaisse," but instead Wolf's chapters include: "Tied to My Apron Strings" (a tribute to aprons) and "An Ode to Toast."
Now that's summer at its best: a cheap book, good food, great beach, sun.
Susan Dromey-Heeter's "Budget Vogue" regularly appears the first Sunday of each month in the New Hampshire Sunday News. Email her at email@example.com.

I live 2000 miles away and ordered flowers for my daughter for her birthday. They were beautiful and bigger than I expected. Thank you.
Jacqueline C.
I needed a last-minute gift for Mother's Day, and Creations by Lynn really came through for me. I was called out of town, but I wanted my aunt to know that I was still thinking of her. With only 36 hours notice, I didn't think I'd find anywhere that would deliver on time. I lucked out, though; Lynn's had beautiful live plants for sale, and the flowers were delivered WITHOUT DELIVERY CHARGE (on Mother's Day!), arrived in a lovely pot, in full bloom, and with decorative butterfly accents and a card that gave interesting notes about the species of flower. My aunt loved it to death, and I was so happy with the service. I will definitely be ordering from Creations by Lynn for my next "thinking of you" gift!

Green Bay Wraps Up 2012 Horizon League Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
BROWN DEER, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay swimming and diving teams concluded the 2012 Horizon League Championship Meet on Saturday night, with the women's squad finishing third and the men's squad finishing fifth at the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center in Brown Deer, Wis.
Milwaukee took the team titles on both sides, ending the Phoenix women's run of seven consecutive league championships.
"We had a lot of good things that happened this week," Green Bay head coach Jim Merner said. "A lot of kids stepped up and swam very good races. I thought our performances were excellent on our women's side, and on our men's side we had several underclassmen earn top-eight finishes. I think our future is bright and I'm very excited about that."
Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) won her third conference title of the week on Saturday, dominating the 1650-yard freestyle race with a time of 16:47.23 - nearly 30 seconds ahead of second place. The sophomore's time broke the school record of 17:06.15 held by Phoenix junior Melissa Killpatrick (Elk River, Minn.), who placed fourth in Saturday's race with a time of 17:22.67.
Rottier finished the four-day meet with three individual titles and four school records to her name, as the sophomore standout also won the 1000 free (10:03.70) and 500 free (4:52.88) and swam on Green Bay's record-breaking 800 free relay squad, which placed second in 7:27.18.
Senior Amber Bartholomew (Alexandria, Minn.) closed out her Phoenix career with a strong showing in the 200 backstroke, finishing fourth in 2:02.04. Fellow senior Lauren Caruso (DeForest, Wis.) also earned a fourth-place finish on Saturday, touching in at 2:19.83 in the 200 breaststroke.
On the women's 3-meter board on Saturday night, sophomore Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) posted the top score for Green Bay, placing fourth with a total of 247.90.
On the men's side, Phoenix sophomore Robert Wolf (Wind Lake, Wis.) turned in an impressive performance in the 1650, placing seventh with a personal best time of 16:08.58.
Green Bay wrapped up the four-day meet with six individual championships and nine school records. The Phoenix also took home some hardware, as senior diver Daniel Pogue (Chisholm, Minn.) earned Horizon League Men's Diver of the Meet, freshman Amanda Walker (Sun Prairie, Wis.) won Co-Newcomer of the Year and diving coach Tom Stover won Men's Diving Coach of the Year.
Pogue earned Diver of the Meet honors for the second straight year after winning the 1-meter board on Friday with a score of 379.15 and placing second on the 3-meter board on Wednesday with a total of 352.20 - both school records.
Walker had an outstanding day on Friday, placing third in the 200 freestyle with a school-record time of 1:50.53. The freshman also swam on Green Bay's record-setting 800 free relay, which placed second in 7:27.18.
For Stover, it marked the seventh time in his Green Bay coaching career that he won Coach of the Year honors.

They can be worn at the top or bottom of the ear. Cooool!

Personal story time. When I was in high school, early on, a girl came up to me and asked me if would like to go to the movies with her friend. Her friend was cute as hell, a little shy girl. I said "lol yeah sure" because she had approached me when I was talking with my friends.
I thought she was kidding the way she asked. It was so half assed, and I was a stoner dipshit punk rock kid who was neither here nor there.
Saturday rolled around and I had completely forgotten anyone had even mentioned it to me. I went to a party, or stayed up all night skating, or played my GameCube or whatever I did at the time.
A few days went by, and half way through the week, her friend approached me and told me how sad her friend was that I never showed up. I apologized profusely, told her I thought she was messing with me.
I never spoke again to either of them. She added me on Facebook at one point. I still feel genuinely bad every time I see her post. I'm not a mean person, and I definitely would have went to the movies with her if I knew. I don't remember **** all from my high school years, but I definitely remember her and I still feel bad. I'm sure she doesn't remember.

Food in the fall often means baking something with apples.
An apple pie with a big scoop of ice cream is a standard dessert in the fall. But there are variations on the apple pie that are just as delicious and remain as easy as the original. One of my favorite things to eat in fall is caramel apples. When I found a recipe that basically was a caramel apple in the form of pie, I just had to try it.
It is a recipe that won the "Pie of Emeril's Eye" contest on "Good Morning America" a few years ago. Hats off to its creator. It more than deserved the win.
There were a few problems while baking, but they were all my fault for getting in too much of a hurry to get the pie done. I didn't let the crust cool completely before adding the caramel and the bottom of the springform pan might have been put in upside down. One of those two things made the crust stick to the bottom of the pan and it wasn't easy to serve.
Regardless of the complications, there were no complaints about the taste, even if it was pretty messy to serve.
An apple peeler, corer and slicer kitchen tool was handy when slicing the apples thinly for the pie. This tool uses a vise grip to attach it to the counter top. The apple is attached to a spike on the end of a rod. Then you crank the rod that twists the apple as it peels and slices. The device not only makes slicing and peeling apples easier, but it's pretty fun to use.
For aesthetic purposes, a springform pan makes for a clean look when serving. This is a pan with sides that unlock and can be removed. But if you don't have one, you could always serve from the pie plate.
Both the kitchen tool and springform pan can be purchased in most kitchen supply departments and specialty stores.
Some people say you can't be a southerner unless you like pecans, but I'm not a fan of the pecan so I left them out of the recipes. For those of you who do like pecans, it will add an extra crunch to the dish.
The end result is more like an apple caramel cheesecake than an apple pie but it tasted amazing.

Candy Apple Pie
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 cup chopped pecans
Apple Filling:
5 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, sliced very thin)
5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cream Cheese Topping:
8 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Mix well and press into a 10-inch pie plate and up the sides. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden in color. Remove pie shell from oven and cool completely. Pour caramel into pie shell and sprinkle with 1 cup of chopped pecans. Refrigerate pie shell while making apple filling.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir with a wooden spoon. Add apples and stir. Cook over medium to medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes until apples are softened and tender. Let cool for 10 minutes and pour into pie shell. Reduce oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, using a hand-held mixer on low speed, combine cream cheese and sugar for about 1 minute until smooth. Add egg, lemon juice and vanilla and beat for 1 minute or until fully blended. Pour over apple filling in pie shell. Bake for 30 minutes until an inserted knife comes out clean. Remove pie from oven and let cool. Refrigerate for 4 hours. Let stand outside the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Top with whipped cream, caramel and pecans, and swirl with a knife. Slice and serve.

Our earlier initiative wherein we provided a platform for buyers and sellers of timeshare membership was a huge success. (Read: Business worth Rs 23 lakh+ was facilitated by this blog post). Lots of people were able to sell their timeshare membership or buy a used membership for reasonable rates.
Recently the need was felt that a similar platform can be provided for people trying to buy/sell a few number of days at a particular timeshare resort. Hence this blog post, wherein you can indicate your intention to put up your accommodation for sale, or express intent to buy one.
Please note that this dealing is purely between the member and guest. Timeshare company, this blogger or others will not be a party to it in case of any disputes related to payments, services etc.
Click here to enter your offer/requests. Be sure to read the risk factors involved. Your entry will appear in the spreadsheet below in about 10 minutes for others to see and respond.
All the best. Hope everyone finds it equally useful. Your suggestions and comments are always welcome.

This site is a good venue for those owners who want to get rid of their timeshares. People need more sites like this that will facilitate the buying and selling of timeshare units.

Great insight... Good ideas.. I liked the timeshare exchange of India. Useful and to the point. Two areas of improvement though :
1. ad expiry may be introduced (may be 30 days by default), If user wants he may post the Ad again after 30 days, this will help keeping the listing current and relevant.
2. Seller authenticity may be introduced by providing user reviews and rating by the buyers.

Dear all,
Sorry for delayed response.
Sapna, great. Am happy I could be of some help.
its mentioned in the post. admin at enidhi dot net
I believe gestation period is more than 3o days for someone to be able to close a deal, hence it could be unfair.
I do not have the time, technology and funding to take it full time with more features, controls and authentication... Above one is a simple google docs based service. Had plans of moving it to Zoho, but couldn't do it till date...

i am a member from clubmahindra, recently up graded to red membership as well. it is very unfortunate to know this i had requested for a goa resort in the month of jan, 2011 i recieved a reply that all the rooms were full, later i called up as a non member then i found that the rooms were available at hefty price?
Is the membership a gimmick?? This was really dissappointing and as a member we were let down and would never advise my friends for a club mahindra membership.
If you want to holiday then just pay instantly and enjoy!!! Dont even think of membership.

The Islanders and Avalanche have not been close to a deal for C Matt Duchene, according to Newsday's Arthur Staple.
Staple believes that the deal would have been completed if the offer had been closer. Islanders GM Garth Snow had an offer with D Travis Hamonic, the team's 2018 first-round pick, and a prospect on the table. However, Snow would not include 20-year-old center Mathew Barzal in the deal.
At the June 23 NHL Draft, Avalanche GM Joe Sakic said he didn't like any of the deals offered for Duchene. Hamonic was traded the next day to the Calgary Flames for their 2018 first and second-round draft picks as well as a 2019 or 2020 second-round pick.
The 26-year-old Duchene has spent all eight seasons in the NHL with the Avalanche, who selected him third overall in the 2009 NHL Draft. Last season, the two-time All-Star totaled 41 points (18 goals, 23 assists) in 77 games

Brian Compton and Mike Carver bid farewell in the final Point Blank Podcast. The guys look back at a wild week in Islanders Country, discussing the Jordan Eberle-Ryan Strome deal, the rumors surrounding Matt Duchene, Travis Hamonic's trade to Calgary, and the expansion draft deal to protect the team's forwards.

The Islanders have reached out to unrestricted free agent Justin Williams, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday.
The veteran right winger has a long list of suitors, according to Staple.
Williams played in 80 games for Washington this past season, racking up 24 goals and 24 assists.

One of the most fluid and insanely unpredictable weeks in recent NHL memory is now over with the conclusion of the 2017 NHL entry draft. Prior to that, we had the Vegas Golden Knights expansion draft, awkwardly held in the middle of an awards gala, and some good old fashioned wheeling-and-dealing.
General managers have now returned home to celebrate their victories, or size up their losses, with five days before unrestricted free agency, which begins this Saturday, July 1.

The Islanders have extended one-year qualifying offers to restricted free agents Calvin de Haan, Adam Pelech, Christopher Gibson, and Connor Jones, the team announced Monday.
By extending qualifying offers to the above players, the Islanders retain negotiating rights.
De Haan, 26, had five goals and 20 assists in 82 games last season while earning $2.5 million.
Pelech, 22, had three goals and seven assists in 44 games last season while earning $832,500 during what was his second season in the league.

The New York Islanders selected Robin Salo (second round), Benjamin Mirageas (third round), Sebastian Aho (fifth round), Arnaud Durandeau (sixth round) and Logan Cockerill (seventh round) in the 2017 NHL draft.
Salo, 18, is a Finnish defenseman who put up one goal and 15 assists in 65 games with Sport Vaasa of the Finnish Liiga last season.
Mirageas is an 18-year-old American defenseman bound for Providence College. He helped the Chicago Steel win the USHL championship while posting 10 assists in 14 games.
The Islanders have traded Travis Hamonic to Calgary for multiple draft picks.
The Islanders receive:
- 2018 First Round Pick
- 2018 Second Round Pick
- 2nd Round Pick in 2019 or 2020
The Flames receive:
- Hamonic
- 4th round pick in 2019 or 2020
On the conditions of some of the picks, Bob McKenzie tweets, "If CGY sends NYI a 2nd in 2019, the 4th the Flames get back is also in 2019. If CGY sends 2nd in 2020, the 4th rder they get back is 2020."

The Florida Panthers have named former Islanders head coach Jack Capuano an associate coach on head coach Bob Boughner's staff, the team announced Friday.
"I am extremely excited to join the Florida Panthers organization," said Capuano. "I want to thank Vinnie Viola and Doug Cifu for putting their trust in me and Dale for giving me an opportunity to work with Bob, one of the great young minds in the game. My familiarity with the Panthers has grown a lot throughout the past few years and I'm eager to work with such a young, talented group of players."
Capuano served as head coach of the Islanders from 2010-2017, earning a 227-192-64 record. The Islanders made three playoff appearances under Capuano.
"I am thrilled to welcome Jack to our coaching staff," said Boughner "He is a knowledgeable and experienced voice to have behind our bench that will work well with our young players."

Brian Erni and I begin our annual season review, taking a look back at the 2016-17 Islanders and analyzing each player's performance in a season that saw the team miss the playoffs by one point.
We will be offering two reviews per week that will take us right through the beginning of training camp in September. Of course, there are a couple of things to sort out prior, such as free agency and potential trades that could alter the look of this franchise going forward.

The Islanders have acquired RW Jordan Eberle from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for C Ryan Strome, the Isles announced Thursday.
"I'm super excited to be a part of the Islanders organization," Eberle said, according to James Duthie of TSN. "Also grateful for the chance the Oilers gave me coming into the NHL."
Eberle, who said he's relieved the trade is done, called John Tavares a "generational player" and said he was looking forward to playing with him.

The Islanders begin the season on October 6 against the Blue Jackets in Columbus, followed by their home opener the next night.

The Islanders traded forward Mikhail Grabovski, defenseman Jake Bischoff, a 2017 first-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick to have the Las Vegas Golden Knights select goaltender J-F Berube.
Grabovski, who had 44 points in his first two seasons in New York, has not suited up in a game for the Islanders since March 2016 after he suffered a concussion. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Bischoff, a seventh-round pick in 2012, had three points in six games with the AHL's Sound Tigers last season after finishing his time at the University of Minnesota.

Islanders owners Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin are looking to sell a 15 percent stake in the team, according to the NY Post's Josh Kosman.
They have not had any luck in selling the stake, with the team valued at $500 million, as potential buyers are skeptical. The pitch is telling potential buyers they are looking to diversify.
As of now, the Islanders may need to find a new home following the 2018-19 season, as they have a mutual out-clause with Barclays Center, and the venue doesn't want to keep the team as tenants.
Islanders defenseman Travis Hamonic is the 2017 recipient of the NHL's Foundation Player Award, which is presented to a player "who applies the core values of (ice) hockey-commitment, perseverance and teamwork-to enrich the lives of people in his community"

The New York Islanders are reportedly likely to lose forward Mikhail Grabovski to the Las Vegas Golden Knights as part of expansion draft trades, according to Newsday's Arthur Staple.
The Islanders only put three forwards -- John Tavares, Anders Lee and Andrew Ladd -- on the protected list, as Jason Chimera, Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck were among the 25 players they made available.
New York will reportedly send its first-round pick to Vegas in order to prevent the Golden Knights from taking one of their forwards. There will be a third component to the deal, according to Staple, however it is not yet known what it would be.

Yesterday, the NHL created a little drama when they announced, at 9:58 a.m., that protected lists for each team for the upcoming Vegas Golden Knights expansion draft, set for 10 a.m., would be pushed back 30 minutes to 10:30 a.m.
The head scratching move, for which no reason was ever officially given, started the wave of social media activity that would not slow for all of Father's Day.
There was plenty of venom spewed towards Islanders general manager, Garth Snow, when the lists were finally made available to the public as New York was the only team in the entire league to protect five defenseman and only three forwards, two of whom were automatic, captain John Tavares and winger Andrew Ladd.
The Islanders will give up a first round pick in order to keep the Las Vegas Golden Knights from taking one of New York's forwards in the NHL expansion draft, according to a report from Darren Dreger of TSN.
Forwards Jason Chimera, Casey Cizikas, Cal Clutterbuck, Brock Nelson and Ryan Strome are among the 25 players the Islanders have made available for the Golden Knights, who must pick one player from each team and take a minimum of 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goalies in the expansion draft.
John Tavares, Anders Lee, and Andrew Ladd were the only three forwards the Islanders decided to protect in the expansion draft.

The Islanders will also protect goalie Thomas Greiss and defensemen Johnny Boychuk, Travis Hamonic, Nick Leddy, Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock.
Las Vegas will submit its draft selections by 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

The Islanders are near the top of the list of teams interested in trading for Edmonton's RW Jordan Eberle, according to a report from NHL insider Darren Dreger.
There are six or seven teams that have interest in acquiring Eberle, according to Dreger, with the Islanders and the Avalanche seeming to be the frontrunners.
"What's the return? Does Edmonton get a winger back, like a third line player and a smaller deal so they can absorb the cap relief in moving Eberle's contract out?" asked Dreger on TSN1260. "Or can they be patient and finally (Islanders GM) Garth Snow goes, 'OK, I need that player just to keep John Tavares happy and keep him in the mix here long-term, so I'm willing to give up on Travis Hamonic.' I think there's a bit of gamesmanship that is happening in this process."

The Islanders will begin their 2017-2018 preseason schedule with a game at NYCB Live, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, against the Philadelphia Flyers, the team announced Thursday morning.
The game will take place on Sunday, September 17 at 1pm.
The preseason opener will mark the first time the Islanders have played in its former home since the end of the 2014-2015 season.
The Islanders are hiring another former teammate of head coach Doug Weight in Kelly Buchberger, per Edmonton Journal's Jim Matheson.
Neither team has confirmed the report, but according to Matheson, local sources are saying they have known for weeks that Buchberger was joining Weight's staff.
Buchberger served as head of player personnel for the Oilers last season. He was also an assistant coach for the team for six years.
With the Stanley Cup Final in the rear view mirror, all of the soon-to-be 31 NHL teams are prepping for an Expansion and Entry Draft frenzy, and Darren Dreger thinks the Islanders are a team to watch.
Dreger said on Tuesday on Montreal's TSN 690 that the Islanders are one of the most intriguing clubs leading up to the two drafts, and GM Garth Snow does have a preference on what defense man he'd like to hold onto.

This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise. De Haan had a splendid year last year, and Hamonic had a down one, so it's better to sell high on Calvin than low on Travis. Plus, Hamonic is an alternate captain and one of the most vocal leaders in the dressing room. I'm sure the Isles would love to hang onto both if they could. I just don't see how they will...
Tags: Calvin De Haan, Travis Hamonic
The Islanders do not have interest in signing F Ilya Kovalchuk, reports Arthur Staple of Newsday.
Kovalchuk wants to return to the NHL next season, and the Devils have given him and his agent permission to seek a deal with other teams, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
New Jersey still holds the forward's rights as Kovalchuk left the NHL in the middle of his contract with the Devils.
The Islanders have signed F Steve Bernier to a two-year, two-way (NHL/AHL) contract, the team announced Friday.
Bernier, 32, had 16 goals and 10 assists in 33 games with Bridgerport of the AHL last season.
In 633 career games with the Islanders, Devils, Panthers, Canucks, Sabres, and Sharks, Bernier has 105 goals and 125 assists.

Newly hired Islanders assistant coach Scott Gomez knows his first foray into coaching won't be easy and that he has a lot to learn.
Gomez recently spoke to Yahoo's Sean Leahy and told the Puck Daddy writer that it's his responsibility to learn every position on the ice so that he can be a complete coach.
"You've got to know every position or what the hell's the point?" said Gomez, whose deal with the Islanders is for two years. "What happens if I have to answer a defensive question? Believe it or not I've had coaches, you ask them a question, 'Oh, I don't know.' 'What do you mean I don't know? You're the coach.' 'Oh, I'm the offensive coach.' That never made sense to me."
Gomez also said that that part of his philosophy is to treat every player the same, whether he's the captain or a fourth liner.
Reports have indicated that the Islanders are in the market for a top-six forward, and blue line mainstay Travis Hamonic could be a player New York deals to make it happen. Will the Isles trade a core piece away to improve up front? SNY's Brian Erni and Andy Graziano discuss...
Brian Erni, SNY.TV Twitter | Archive Posts
There have been some murmurs that the Islanders are getting ready to deal a defensemen to procure a top-six forward, and one name that has popped up is Travis Hamonic. Should the Isles trade Hamonic, under team control for another three seasons, to make that forward upgrade?

Islanders legend Mike Bossy penned a letter to his 14-year-old self in the latest edition of The Players' Tribune.
The 60-year-old Bossy tells his 14-year-old self about the current state of the NHL, the need to savor the experience of being a player, his relationship with legendary coach Al Arbour, and more.
"For whatever reason, some people will resent you for being a goal scorer," Bossy writes. "Other teams are going to target you, big time. You'll get jumped from behind. Sucker punched. Completely knocked out by blindside hits. (In the future, there's a serious injury called a concussion. You don't know what this is yet, but unfortunately you're going to have quite a few.)
John Tavares is now more willing to wait on an extension with the Islanders, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Tavares and his agent, Pat Brisson, feel more comfortable with the general direction of the Islanders, from their new home to what their plans are to build the team into a contender.
Dreger went on to add that a large factor on Tavares' future with the Islanders depends on what pieces GM Garth Snow is able to add in the near future. With New York unable to protect all four of their young defenders from the expansion draft, Dreger believes either Calvin de Haan or Travis Hamonic will be traded. If the Islanders can acquire a top-six forward for one of those players, that could go a long way in helping convince Tavares to sign a long-term extension.

Justine Ward visits Islanders goaltending coach Mike Dunham to discuss the Islanders' offseason plan of attack.
In the latest installment of JRSportBrief on SNY.tv, JR debates the merits of New York City as the toughest town to play for athletes.

The NHL Draft kicks off on June 23 at 7 p.m., and the Islanders currently hold the 15th pick? What should they do with it? SNY's Brian Erni and Andy Graziano discuss...
Brian Erni, SNY.TV Twitter | Archive Posts
The Isles hold the 15th pick in what experts say is a very shallow draft. So, Andy, what strategy should the Isles take? Explore a trade up? Trade down or trade the pick away? Or just stand pat?
Doug Weight knows how pivotal this offseason is for his club, and it all starts with John Tavares.
Weight joined Sirius XM NHL Network Radio earlier this week and shared his thoughts of Tavares' contract situation. The Islanders captain can sign an extension with New York as early as July 1.
"Yeah, we've already signed him. It's the drawer. No, just kidding," joked Weight. "Listen, it's a situation that a lot of players have the opportunity to walk through. John loves it here. He is an unbelievable hockey player and leader for us. It's real important, and we're doing everything we can to show him [we appreciate him]. John wants to win Cups. He wants to have a chance to win multiple Stanley Cups. That's what he wants. That's what's in his heart. That's what drives him. That's what makes him great. He wants to be a Hall of Fame player.

We decided to go the trade route as the free agent market looks barren and with tons of money coming off the books next season, including the albatross contracts of Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolay Kulemin, general manager Garth Snow could be in prime position to pluck a restricted free agent or pending unrestricted free agent next year, off the hands of a troubled colleague looking to save some money on his own ledger.
The 1982-83 New York Islanders were ranked the seventh-best NHL team in history, according to NHL.com.
As a promotion for this year's Stanley Cup Final, NHL.com asked fans to vote on 96 Stanley Cup champions to see what team was the greatest of all-time. Though the Isles won four straight championships from 1980-1983, it was their team in 1983 that was deemed seventh of all-time.
The Islanders finished 42-26-12 that season, and didn't look to be favorites to win the cup. They scored 83 fewer goals than the season before and finished tied sixth in points with 96 for the year. However, their experience from the previous three seasons proved vital in their quest for a fourth straight title.
The Islanders won't play four games at Nassau Coliseum despite a 2013 agreement between the developer and Nassau county, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told Newsday's Robert Brodsky and Jim Baumbach.
Nassau County's lease with Bruce Ratner reportedly called for four regular season games and two preseason games at the Coliseum over the next 10 years, according to Newsday, though the NHL has not discussed approving said games, according to the report.
While the Islanders moved to Barclays Center two years ago, there have been reports indicating that Barclays Center operators are trying to get the Islanders to return to the Coliseum.
However, the organization and the arena reportedly negotiating a temporary agreement that would not force the Islanders out of the arena after two years.
The Islanders have hired Scott Gomez as an assistant coach, the team announced Tuesday.
Gomez, 37, retired in 2016 after a 17-year career in the NHL that included stints with the Devils, Rangers, Canadiens, Sharks, Panthers, Blues, and Senators.
He had 181 goals and 575 assists during his career, and was part of Stanley Cup Championship teams with the Devils in 2000 and 2003.
Andy Graziano, SNY.TV Twitter:
We've been spending the early part of our summer at Islanders Point Blank taking a look around the league and playing armchair general manger, analyzing potential trade targets for Garth Snow as he looks to get his club back to the playoffs.
In part one and part two, we stressed that this is in no way indicative of what 'will' happen, only our opinion of who could be available and able to help provide the kind of help captain John Tavares needs to get the organization to the next level.
The Islanders will need to add a top-six forward and other forwards to add depth and improve ahead of next season, argues Scott Cullen of TSN in an edition of "Off-Season Game Plan."
Cullen predicts the team will acquire Islanders will acquire Teddy Purcell, Gabriel Dumont, and Michael Hutchinson, but added that the team's top concern this off-season must be to keep John Tavares, who has just one more year remaining on his contract.
The Islanders won their final six games of the season, but narrowly missed out on a playoff spot.

Islanders new head coach Doug Weight admitted he took on too much last season and is ready for new help, according to the NY Post.
Weight, who took over as interim head coach following the firing of Jack Capuano on Jan. 17, didn't think the atmosphere of the bench on game nights as things didn't feel right. It was during a game on a road trip that he realized he couldn't take on the task of being head coach of an NHL team alone.
"I didn't watch the entire game, I kind of watched clips," Weight said. "I didn't go out all night and not go to practice in the morning. My point was, I changed it a little bit, and I did it a little easier because I wanted to make sure I was doing the [individual meetings] as well as I could.
Islanders defenseman Dennis Seidenberg was named Best Defenseman of the 2017 IIHF World Championships by the Tournament Directorate on Monday.
Playing for host nation Germany, Seidenberg notched a goal and seven assists in eight games. He also served as assistant captain for Germany.
The Detroit Red Wings could have interest in trading for D Calvin de Haan, according to Elliotte Friedman of SportsNet.
Friedman went on to say the Islanders are worried about losing de Haan in next month's expansion draft to the Vegas Golden Knights.
New York might choose to trade de Haan, who has played well during the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, rather than lose him in the expansion draft and get nothing in return.

The Islanders have named Luke Richardson an assistant coach on Doug Weight's staff.
Richardson's last NHL coaching experience was as an assistant for the Ottawa Senators from 2009 to 2012. He spent four seasons as the head coach of the AHL Binghamton Senators from 2012-16
"Luke brings a tireless work ethic and outstanding character to our organization," Weight said in a release from the team. "He'll have his hands on every aspect of the team, including our systems, skill development, and team culture. Luke's coaching experience, including four years running an organization as Head Coach in Binghamton, make him an excellent addition to our staff."
Don't check your calendar. Yes, it's 2017 and we're talking about Ilya Kovalchuk. The 34-year-old is eyeing a return to the NHL, and he reportedly has a desire to play in the New York market. Could the Islanders be a fit? SNY's Brian Erni and Andy Graziano discuss…
Brian Erni, SNY.tv
Elliotte Friedman said this week that the Islanders could make sense as a destination for Ilya Kovalchuk. What do you think, Andy? Any chance the Isles can land the former 50-goal scorer?

Islanders prospect Matt Barzal and the Seattle Thunderbirds defeated the Regina Pats 4-3 in Game 6 in overtime to give the franchise its first WHL title in its 40-year history.
Barzal, who scored seven goals and 18 assists in 16 games in the postseason, was named the WHL playoff MVP.
With the WHL title, the Thunderbirds will join the QMJHL's Saint John Sea Dogs, and the OHL's Erie Otters and Windsor Spitfires, in the four-team Memorial Cup tournament.

Last week, we began a four-part series taking a look at players that general manager Garth Snow might take a look at this offseason in the hopes of reshaping his roster ahead of the 2017-18 season. Today, we move on to part two
With the free agent market looking sub-par, trades might be the only option for Snow to try and get the right pieces that will lead the Islanders back to the playoffs, after missing this previous season by one point. While players get their injuries treated, some even surgically, general managers focus on the upcoming expansion draft and there should be no shortage of action leading up to this year's entry draft in Chicago on Friday, June 23.
To reiterate, this is all purely speculative and just my opinion on some players who, I believe, could help the Islanders get to the next level. The trade market is extremely fluid and almost impossible to predict until any deal actually is completed and submitted to the league office. Still, it's always fun to discuss.
The NHL will expand for the 2017-18 season, as the Vegas Golden Knights enter the league for their inaugural season. At the June 21 Expansion Draft, Golden Knights GM and former Islanders vice president George McPhee will start to assemble his club. So how will the Isles protect their players, and who will they lose? SNY's Brian Erni and Andy Graziano discuss…
Brian Erni, SNY.TV Twitter | Archive Posts
The expansion draft is just over a month away, and - when it comes to protecting a roster - the Islanders are one of the most intriguing teams in the league. So, Andy, what do you think Garth Snow does in preparation of the Golden Knights making their selections?
The Islanders have agreed to a three-year, entry-level deal with G Linus Soderstrom, the team announced Thursday.
Soderstrom, 20, led HV71 to the 2017 Swedish Hockey League Championship, posting a 2.11 GAA and .922 save percentage while going 12-4.

Report: Bookies fixed hundreds of soccer games
posted at 11:36 am on February 5, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
I'd call this point shaving, but there are hardly any points scored in soccer:
A new scandal is shaking up the sports world. This time, in soccer. There's a probe into matches that were allegedly rigged. The investigation doesn't single out any particular team, because the investigations are ongoing, but Asian gamblers are suspected of fixing hundreds of games.
It's an ugly turn for what is known around the world as "the beautiful game." Rob Wainwright, head of Europol, described an "extensive criminal network" involved in the alleged match-fixing.
The scandal is run, the police say, from the bookie shops of the Far East.
The popularity of the game in Asia has found the perfect partner in Asia's other favorite sport — gambling. But it has arrangements with crime syndicates around the world. And the police have been keeping score. They've found 680 games where the outcomes were bent by betting, 380 of those games in Europe, the rest elsewhere in a total of 15 countries. At least 425 referees, club officials and players took bribes to affect the results.
Yikes! That is a lot of people to be in on a conspiracy.

PHP has native functions to encode and decode JSON data. You can encode data using the json_encode function, like this:
<?php // Set up the data to be sent in the response. $data = array( 'some data' ); // Output the JSON data. echo json_encode( $data );
The json_encode function can encode almost all data types, such as strings, arrays and objects, although you may need to be aware that the corresponding json_decode function will only return an object (or optionally, an associative array).
It is good practice to set the MIME-type for the output correctly. In some applications you might also want to change the suggested filename to something other than the "index.php" that you will probably get by default. In the following example the suggested filename is changed to the name of the view, with a ".json" extension added.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.-The University of North Carolina men's tennis program announced the signing of two outstanding prospects, Ronnie Schneider and Jack Murray, to National Letter of Intents on Monday. They will join the team in the fall of 2013.
Schneider, from Bloomington, Ind., is perhaps the most decorated American tennis player in the nation and will be a huge asset to the Tar Heels.
Amongst his long list of accomplishments is being rated as the #1 recruit in the nation in 2011 and 2012 by tennisrecruiting.net. In 2012, he was the singles and doubles winner at the USTA National Spring Championships and also won the sportsmanship award. He was a National Team Championships finalist, and made the quarterfinals of the 18-and-under National Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Schneider was a competitor in the U.S. Open junior main draw in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, Ronnie won the 16-and-under singles and doubles at the National Championships in Kalamazoo and was ranked #1 in the nation.
Ronnie also played for Bloomington South High School, where he was a three-time Indiana high school state champion and led his team to the State finals in 2009 and 2012. This year he also won the Indiana High School Mental Attitude award.
"I chose UNC because it gives me the best possible combination of academics and athletics. I want to study business and having the opportunity to get my degree from the Kenan-Flagler business school and then to be able to play tennis for Coach Paul, Coach Phillips and the UNC tennis team is the ideal situation," said Schenider. "The coaches have been great and I really like the guys on the team, especially the ones I'm going to be playing with next fall. I look forward to joining the Tar Heel Family."
Jack Murray, from Beverly Hills, Mich., reached a ranking of 12th in the nation during 2012 according to tennisrecruiting.net. In his junior career, he has reached rankings of #1 in the Midwest and #1 in the nation (2008) by the USTA.
In 2012, he was the Midwest Indoor Closed Champion in singles while also being the USTA Regional Champion in singles and doubles. In 2011, Murray won the Midwest Closed Fall Championships and the USTA National Open in singles. That same year he was the doubles champion at the Wichita Falls ITF tournament. Murray has also been the recipient of many sportsmanship awards over his junior career. He will received the 2012 Hoxie Award from the Southeast Michigan district of the USTA, whose previous recipients include former pro players Amy Frazier and Steve Campbell.
"After I went on my visit, I had this gut feeling. The coaching staff was unbelievable and with their track record, I knew they could really help me achieve my ultimate goal of playing professional tennis. I knew they had my best interest in mind and would develop me to my full potential as a player and as a person. The team was so friendly and had an amazing work ethic and culture. I knew that UNC was the place for me," Murray said.
"We could not be more excited to have Ronnie and Jack joining our program next fall. They come from outstanding families and are a great fit with our program.," said veteran UNC head coach Sam Paul. "These guys have amazing work ethic, outstanding character, and a ton of potential. They will make everyone around them better and without a doubt have a huge impact on our program. We welcome them wholeheartedly into the Carolina Tennis Family."

The latest from leading architectural photographer and writer, Russell Abraham, Rural Modern presents a tantalising selection of modern country houses in a variety of styles and forms.
The 21st century has seen rural residential architecture take ideas from both the Modern Bauhaus design movement and the ever-popular Shingle Style. The result is a style that borrows from vernacular forms and materials, but uses them in new ways. Issues of sustainability and energy conservation are also key to contemporary country house design. Orienting windows to capture heat in winter, but protect the house from the sun in summer is an ongoing design objective. The modern country house is a hybrid of several ingenious ideas blended together to create a modern, sustainable and highly liveable architecture that respects the past and looks forward into the future.

The value of the art, craft and organizational skill the firm brings to every project has been widely recognized through worldwide publication and local, regional, and national awards for architectural design, preservation, construction, and business management. It is the relationships with and accolades from PSD's clients, however, that offer the strongest testimony in favor of its integrated design and construction model.
John R. DaSilva is an architect, author, and the Design Principal at Polhemus Savery DaSilva. His award-winning work has been published worldwide. Bruce Snider, Senior Contributing Editor of Custom Home wrote of DaSilva: "An architect so adept in visual and spatial expression… gives up none of his fluency in shifting to the written word. He is one of the few practitioners of his trade to be truly bilingual in this regard." DaSilva is a graduate of Princeton and Yale Universities.
These questions have fascinated and absorbed architect and sculptor Richard Bertman (FAIA) since his graduate school days. Now, after a 40-year career, Bertman has used the design of a vacation house as an experiment to explore these questions. The result, documented in The Design Process and the Art of the Single Family Home, is a fascinating and revealing insight into the creative process.
With detailed notes and sketches, Bertman charts each stage of the design process, questioning and examining why certain decisions are made, how problems are solved, and generally exploring the processes involved in creative thinking.

This beautifully illustrated book takes the reader on a journey through a number of outstanding contemporary houses designed and built across the richly varied and extraordinary European landscape.
Philip Jodidio presents his expertise and knowledge on the most profound influences of contemporary residential architecture in this region. This book pairs images of unique architecture and interior design and a comprehensive analysis of each project, set within full-colour photographic portraits that all together reflect the strength of drive and progressive thinking that inspired these designs.
Though progressive, the wide range of architects' designs draw heavily on the local vernacular of the buildings of this region. Ordering principles borrow from the building's context and often relate metaphorically to the surrounding natural landscape, connecting the building to its site in a meaningful way.
Sustainability and green energy efficiency features are also crucial components in the house design objectives and are seamlessly integrated with the architecture, and these influences are clearly illustrated in this impressive volume.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I like to cut the front post high, then when the top is off cut DOWN into the post right at the front and remove a small pie piece so the front will lean back a little and thin the top of the post to match the top piece. You will see what I am talking about when you get there. Cut find the middle of the windows and then measure out up and down half the distance you want to chop. That will put your cut out piece right in the middle.
|1931 steve
Thanks guys, I will be chopping the top o my 31 Model A when it comes time.
So it makes no difference on a Model A Ford where you cut the top off at?
Not having the lines line up has no effect at all, or it has lots of effect, just as you wanted. It really depends on what car you are chopping and your plans of how to accomplish the task.
On the body you see the "B" pillar (middle post) is probably being cut up higher so the cut will miss the upper door hinge. On the front post ("A" pillar) it is probably down lower because the post is the same diameter around at that area but tapers down smaller or something up higher.
On some cars you may even want the cut to be at an angle from one window to the next. It all depends on where the parts are going to line up WHERE you cut it.
A top doesn't come STRAIGHT down when you remove a portion of the posts. On some cars, yes. A Ford Model A for instance, the top comes STRAIGHT down (all models but the 31 Vicky) Cut 3 inches out of the posts and drop it, it doesn't matter much where you do it, just cut the roof off, cut 3 inches off the post and drop it back down, and you everything will line up. The windshield posts do have a taper WITHIN them that you have to take care of but the post in relation to the others is perfectly vertical. So the back side of the windshield post at least is perfectly vertical.
On the Model A it is like shortening a cardboard box. Just cut a strip out and the box is smaller.
On other cars, it is more like cutting a strip out of a ice cream cone. When you remove the strip the top piece won't fit onto the bottom piece. Almost every single body has this effect to some degree, some worse than others. So even a super simple body like a truck cab where you know there is a slight windshield rearword post lean, there is also a lean on rear cab as well as the front leaning IN from the sides. Sometimes a cut on one post five inches up from the bottom would allow the roof to come right down and mate with it's new location. While that same car may need another post cut eight inches up from the bottom for THAT post to line up.
Hope that explains it for you.
Steve, I believe the reason is that you want to pick the places that the areas NOT to be chopped will fit back together with the least amount of pie cutting-you want the Top and Bottom to match. I'm just finishing my first Chop, and I clearly see things much differently than when I first contemplated it.
If you just chopped it around in a straight line I think there would be a bunch more fab work (even though this type of Body is one of the easier ones to Chop)-
|1931 steve
Chop Top question
In the picture below you can see the lay out tape for the top to be chopped, but none of the lines are even with each other.
Are they a reason for this? Why not just do a straight line all around the top?

The FDIU, created in 1983, is a component of the WSU CVM Agricultural Animal Health Program (AAHP). Since then, faculty members have traveled to locations of herd problems to perform field investigations on problems of regional importance to agricultural animal producers in the Pacific Northwest.
The FDIU has responded to needs from all over the Pacific Northwest and has conducted research investigations into diseases threatening the economy of herds in the Pacific Northwest as well as nationally. Jointly supported by the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Agricultural, Human & Natural Resource Sciences, the unit works closely with the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Washington State University. Advice and consultation on regional and national animal diseases and public health issues are provided to producers, practicing veterinarians, animal industry groups, and state and federal regulatory personnel.
Veterinary students accompany FDIU teams during elective blocks in the 4th year of study, traveling to field sites for investigations. Students are trained in the general aspects of herd investigations and population medicine, providing them with a basic understanding of the epidemiological approach to solving herd disease problems. FDIU faculty oversee a number of senior student research projects and presentations that culminate in the required 4th year senior paper and presentation.
Graduate education is an integral part of many FDIU faculty's academic responsibilities. Currently, graduate students specialize in epidemiology and population medicine. In addition, FDIU faculty frequently present continuing education seminars to practicing veterinarians, present their research at scientific meetings, and attend producer group meetings within the region.
The AAHP FDIU conducts research using hypothesis-based field trials to address problems of regional importance to agricultural animal producers in Washington.

The Atlantic reports on green roof research by Barnard biology professor Krista McGuire and colleagues at Columbia, Fordham, and the University of Colorado that was recently published in the journal PLOS ONE. An excerpt from the Atlantic article:
"Using soil corers, they hunted for fungi, because fungal communities play a key role in a roof garden's health and longevity. For comparison's sake, they also took samples from five city parks near some of the roofs, including Central Park and the High Line. A little magic from "[i]nductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy" at Alabama's Auburn University Soil Testing Laboratory, as well as a dollop of phospholipid fatty-acid extraction and Illumina-dye sequencing, and they had their results, which were published this month in the journal PLOS ONE.
So what were the conclusions? For one, these sun-kissed carpets of gray goldenrod and smooth blue aster are absolutely crawling with fungi. The researchers logged an average of 109 types of fungi per roof, such as Glomus, Acaulospora, Rhizophagus and Funneliformis, suggesting that green roofs can indeed contribute to urban biodiversity."

Prof. McGuire studies the role of fungi in critical environmental issues such as global climate change, plant extinction, and deforestation.

Report: How The Media Turned The Boy Scouts Story Into A Debate Over Pedophilia
When the Boy Scouts announced in late January that it would be reviewing its ban on openly gay members, it should have sparked a national conversation about discrimination against LGBT youth. Instead, mainstream media outlets allowed their coverage to be hijacked by anti-gay conservatives fear mongering that gay scout leaders might sexually abuse young boys.
In the week following the Boy Scouts' announcement [1] that it would be reviewing its ban on gay members, cable news coverage of the story repeatedly forwarded the claim that allowing gay scout leaders would increase the likelihood of child sexual abuse. According to an Equality Matters report [2], over half of Fox News' and CNN's segments about the story included references to pedophilia:
The belief that gay men are more likely to be pedophiles than heterosexual men is one of the oldest and most damaging anti-gay smears [4] in American politics. Despite being debunked by the American Psychological Association [5] (APA) and a wide variety of child welfare experts [6], right-wing groups like the Family Research Council (FRC) continue to peddle [7] the myth to mainstream media outlets, often citing a mountain of junk science in the process.
Unfortunately, some cable news networks took the bait. Fox News repeatedly raised the specter [8] of sexual misconduct while covering the story:
CNN, on the other hand, opted instead to air segment after segment [9] of hosts butting heads with anti-gay guests like FRC president Tony Perkins or Southern Baptist Convention spokesman Richard Land - both who, unsurprisingly, forcefully defended the "gays are pedophiles" myth:
These segments were typically devoid of credible commentary - only one CNN segment actually featured experts on child welfare - and occasionally devolved into "he said, she said" arguments between CNN's hosts and their discredited [10] anti-gay guests.
In both cases, the networks allowed the debate about the Boy Scouts' ban to be co-opted by anti-gay zealots who were able to plant seeds of fear and anxiety in the minds of viewers. Instead of discussing the real, damaging effects of discriminating against young gay scouts, networks wasted their time rehashing an argument that hasn't been taken seriously by child welfare experts in years.
With the Boy Scouts' decision to postpone [11] reviewing its gay ban until May, cable news outlets have a chance to decide how they'll cover the story once it makes national headlines again. They should resist the urge to follow groups like FRC down the anti-gay rabbit hole and instead focus their coverage on the real victims [12] of the current policy.
