"If it isn't dry, it isn't sake." These words of founder Motoichi Ozaki set the course for the style of sake Tentaka would achieve, and it remains so even today. We try to brew sake that is refreshing to drink, sake that can be enjoyed each day. Our current president, Munenori Ozaki, adds, "Personally, I want to create sake with a bit of an umami (deliciousness) and a bit of koku (settled earthiness) to it." View all Tentaka Wines

Tentaka Hawk in the Heavens (720ML)
Junmai from Tochigi, Japan
Winemaker's Notes
A mature well-rounded flavor with a settled fragrance. Dry but with an underlying richness. Drier and lighter when chilled, and a bit fuller as it warms.
Eighty percent of Tentaka's saké is sold in Tochigi Prefecture where they are located. It is brewed with water drawn from an underground stream that originates in the Yamizo and Nasu mountain ranges.
Tentaka Winery
On a trip to Kyoto, liquor wholesaler Motoichi Ozaki had a dream in which he saw a hawk soaring toward the heavens. The hawk is a powerful image for the Japanese, for its piercing eyes and ability to fly high. When, in 1914, he bought a sake brewery in Yuzukami that was near bankruptcy, the dream remained in his mind. He decided to sell his sake under the name Tentaka, or "Hawk in the Heavens." Tentaka brewery is nestled in the east end of Nasu Nogahara, in a town called Yuzukami. Surrounded by rice fields and mountains, the air and water are clean and fresh. The area is surrounded by three flowing rivers and has managed to avoid tourism.

Japan's industrial production index rose a seasonally adjusted 1.9% on month in July, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said Monday. The result was above a 1.6% on-month gain expected by economists polled in a Dow Jones Newswires and Nikkei survey, though it was still 22.9% below the year-ago level.Alongside Japan, many developed economies are showing some rebound in industrial production, a measure of physical output.
Wow, Japan is really experiencing a rebound in factory output. However, looking back a little farther back in time, one really sees how low is industrial output. At the trough (February 2009 for Japan), production fell back to levels not seen since:
- 1998 in the US
- 1992 in the UK
- 1997 in Canada
- 1999 in Germany
- 1987 in Italy
- 1983 in Japan

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Canadiens' last Stanley Cup championship.
The Canadiens lost Game 1 of the Cup final 4-1 to the Los Angeles Kings on June 1, 1993, and were preparing for Game 2 after Wayne Gretzky had a goal and three assists in the opener.
Below are the columns by Michael Farber and Red Fisher that were published in The Gazette as the Canadiens and Kings prepared for Game 2 on June 3, 1993 at the Forum.

Captain Carbo seeks responsibility of Gretzky
Carbo wants 99.
If the Stanley Cup final really were the World Wrestling Federation on blades as some ESPN watchers think it is, Guy Carbonneau would have screamed that at 7:30 tonight at the legendary Montreal Forum, he was going to rip the cape off Superman's back. But Captain Carbo's game is based on nuance, subtlety, and sometimes you must read between the lines when he speaks publicly. Carbonneau read between the lines in Game 1, saw Wayne Gretzky frolic in a demilitarized zone, and reached the conclusion that his line is best equipped to deal with His Greatness. Yesterday he passed on his give-me-Gretzky plea to coach Jacques Demers, who replied, "I'll think about it."
How often has Demers said no to you?
"I haven't counted," Carbonneau said.
If Demers were any more open to suggestions, he would take hand votes among his veterans. But he is unquestionably the boss. In a city where hockey is a religion, the gargoyles don't run the cathedral.
But Carbonneau is the Canadiens' wise man, the coach-without- portfolio. Kirk Muller has called him the smartest player he has ever seen. Demers trusts his judgment. "I say what I think about different players," Carbonneau said. "I've been around 11 years and I know the players and I know the reaction to hockey in Montreal as well as anyone."
While Carbo is first team All-Yap on the ice, he is less scattershot with his words in the dressing room. His opinions carry extraordinary weight, which already makes him a kind of Montreal shadow of the man he wants to cover tonight in Game 2.
Demers reported the Gretzky breakdown in Game 1 (courtesy of CBC stopwatches) was this: at even-strength, Muller was matched against Gretzky for 11 minutes, Carbo had him four and change and Stephan Lebeau took him for two. (Since Lebeau changed the names of his cats from Wayne and Janet to Savvy and Mona in honor of Denis Savard and bride, it's no longer a conflict of interest when he and Gretzky are on the ice together.) Gretzky had two assists on the power play and scored into an empty net to account for three of his four points but always made Montreal queasy straight up.
Demers said Gretzky toyed with his team, and Muller is nobody's boy toy. For the past six weeks Muller has played Joe Sakic, Pat LaFontaine and Pierre Turgeon, and their whereabouts are unknown. Carbonneau adores Muller, and is amazed that neither he nor right- winger Mike Keane were nominated for a Selke.
But Gretzky is different. Gretzky is Gretzky. And Muller must think about the other end of the ice because no one expects His Greatness to keep carrying the Montreal offence.
"If Carbo feels that way – and he's a pretty smart player – then it's probably worth considering," said Muller, who bears as strong a physical resemblance to No. 99 as Carbonneau has to Gretzky in terms of influence on a team. "He's more a defensive player, and our line has to score. No matter what happens tonight, when the puck is turned over and we get it, we have to jump on offence. We have to play our game, use our assets. We were worried to much about them. About Wayne. I admit I do have a tendency to get a little more cautious when he's out there."
As summer drew uncomfortably close after the disastrous Game 2 in Quebec, Patrick Roy gave a fire-and-brimstone speech – seconded by the captain – about how the team had afforded the skilled Nordiques too much respect. Worry about us, the goalie ordered, not about them. The Kings are similar to Quebec in the way they skate and forecheck, and after losing the opener to Los Angeles, the orators were at it again.
Carbonneau and Roy didn't wait until after tonight because the Kings are twice as good as Quebec, and the final is twice as important.
"I'm like Jacques Demers," Carbonneau said of his speechifying Tuesday night. "I talk with my heart. Sometimes I'm not kind. If I have a message to deliver, I don't (mince) words. When I have something to say to the guys, I say it."
Carbonneau was genuinely angry over what he considered a lack of effort, seething at first and but soon thinking. He saw how many times the Canadiens No. 11 went into 99, knew Montreal had to free Muller for more creative work and remembered times when the Canadiens had slowed Gretzky by assigning a full-time shadow. Then he stuck his hand up.
Take me. I volunteer.
This is not ego. It is leadership. Carbonneau doesn't want credit, he wants responsibility. He is saying give me Gretzky, give me minutes with the best player in the world and we'll see. I'll take the biggest guy in the room. Carbonneau is sticking his neck out knowing Gretzky can do some cross-border chopping, but he has had a fine playoff by a more modest standard. This has not been Carbo's year. He is 33. Chronic tendinitis in his left knee makes him walk with a slight limp. He didn't score against a goalie after Nov. 9 during the regular season, but he has had two playoff game winners in overtime.
What does Gretzky bring out in you?
"The best, I hope."
Like the playoffs.
The idea is intriguing. Captain vs. captain. Class vs. class. Smarts on smarts. The best offensive player (a page of NHL records) against the top defensive player (three Selke Trophies) of their eras. Physically Carbonneau can't stay with 99 forever, but this is temporary work. Two weeks, tops. If the Canadiens aren't careful, it could be sooner.
So Carbo wants 99. He is saying pretty please. If Doug Gilmour in Toronto couldn't burn both ends of the candle successfully against Gretzky for seven games, maybe Muller can't either. Carbo wants the chance.
This gargoyle deserves it.
Time to get back on track: Demers
It seems that Canadiens coach Jacques Demers had this idea of having a chat with his players to discuss what went wrong in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final with the Los Angeles Kings.
Nothing serious, he was saying. Hey, it's only one game. Nothing prolonged, even though the Canadiens fell 4-1 at home for the first time in the playoffs in a game that wasn't that close.
"I don't want to talk to them about what the Kings did right," said Demers yesterday. "All I want to do is talk about the things we did wrong. I'm looking at 15 minutes, that's all."
Good idea, Jocko, but if the kindly ol' coach was able to cover that subject in only 15 minutes, he must have been shooting from the lip.
Did he tell them, hey, we're far haven't lost a series. All we've done is lose a game.
Or: "We haven't won anything yet, but we haven't lost anything, either."
Did he point out to several of his young bloods that they had taken bad penalties?
Or: "Listen, chaps, this team will win only when it plays as a team."
Did he point his purple forefinger at his young players and tell them uh-uh, this is the Stanley Cup and all these people with microphones and cameras and notepads are paying a visit because that's what they do for the few bucks they make. Don't get caught up in people telling you how great you are. Trust me, these media guys, and especially the ladies are, after all, just like human beings.
What he surely told them during what was supposed to be merely a 15-minute sermon was:
"Let's play the way the Montreal Canadiens played to get to the finals, okay? We concentrated too much on the Kings. The most important thing to worry about is how we played throughout the playoffs.
"Remember, guys, it was the same in our first series. Remember how worried we were about how the Nordiques played? We worried about it for the first two games, and lost both. Then we started to worry about how we played and we won 1l straight. Okay, so seven were in overtime. Who's counting?
"They know what went wrong," said Demers yesterday before going into his meeting with the players. "We all believe in ourselves. We have some solid people here."
"I think it's all a matter of playing more collectively," said Demers. "We don't want to take anything away from the Kings. They played a heck of a hockey game last night. Nobody's down, though, and I'm not gonna let anybody get down. Nobody lets anybody get down on this team. That's the secret of our hockey club."
The Canadiens were a secret, as a team, during most of Tuesday's opener, but Demers is certain there'll be a sharp improvement tonight if only because Mike Keane, who missed the opener with what Team Clinic described as back spasms, is due back in the lineup.
Keane, of course, says he wants to play. Keane also says he thinks he can play."
"What I don't want to do is hurt the team," said Keane.
"We missed Keane a lot in the first game," said Demers. "He hasn't scored 40 goals in a season, but he plays like someone who scores 40 goals."
There were fears that Benoit Brunet, who was among the best of the Canadiens forwards, would miss tonight's game after leaving late in Game 1 with a bruised knee. He's playing. So is Denis Savard.
Kevin Haller, who was part of Team Benched in Game 1, plays tonight, which means Sean Hill doesn't.
Nothing personal, but after being overwhelmed by Team Whoosh! in Game 1, Demers suspects he could use defenceman Haller's speed. He can also be a plus on a power play which, in the Canadiens' last 26 opportunities, has been a runaway minus. Oh, oh for 26 is not what Demers had in mind in these playoffs, particularly against an explosive team such as the Kings.
"I'm not nervous about our power play," said Demers which, of course, means he's nervous about his power play. "We'd like to have a better power play. We will have a better one. (Promises! Promises!) There are teams with a 33 percent success rate on the power play who have been playing golf for six weeks," said Demers.
Guy Carbonneau calls Tuesday's opener the Canadiens' worst in the playoffs. He'd like to remedy it by taking on a fellow named Gretzky – defensively, that is. Gretzky brought some of his magic to the opener by scoring twice and assisting on three in the 4-1 game – but one of the goals was into his own *net.
Captain Carbo didn't see much of Gretzky in the game – only four minutes, by Demers's estimate. Kirk Muller didn't see much of him, either, even though he was on the ice against Gretzky for roughly 11 minutes.
What Carbonneau would like to do tonight is log a lot more ice time against Gretzky and, in the process, free Muller for offensive duty.
"I just want to play a bit more against Gretzky and I'll tell Jacques that," Carbonneau said yesterday. "Checking the league's top players has been my life."

Handsome hunks like Idris Elba, Bradley Cooper and Garret Hedlund looked to be having a blast at the infamous Chateau Marmont.

This is not an insult to M3's but it is not a high volume seller. Like you just said many will not spend the money
Of all the M's sold the M3 sedan is the most difficult to sell. If a dealer has 5 M3's and 1 M3sedan, he will most likely sell all the M coupes before the one sedan.
The OP is in a much stronger neg position buying a sedan, then he would be if he wanted a coupe.

The next day I drove to the next town (18 miles away) and upon beginning my return trip, the car began to shudder at take-off. I drove back and went straight to the dealer, and parked it in the service entrance. I entered and advised the service writer that it was shuddering and slipping. He advised the service manager, and told me that the service manager and tech would take it out for a drive to see what was happening.
As they started to take-off from the service entrance, the car shuddered and then the clutch slipped completely not allowing the car to move. They can back in and said they would find a true fix and then gave me a new loaner car.
I returned the followng morning and gave them a copy of the service ticket in this thread that had fixed the problem. I think they have a better understanding of the problem now that they experienced how severe the problem can be.
Thanks for the info.
They got authorization from Ford to replace the "Clutch-Pack", oil seals and actuators. They replaced those parts and car has the same problem.
A Ford Technical Rep has been called to come in and advise on next step. The Dealer wants to replace the entire Transmission. I still have the loaner, but no fix for my car yet.

text: A few weeks ago I spent some time chatting with Howard Lovy for an article for the Nanobusiness Commercialization Association. That interview was posted by Vincent Caprio on his blog a few days ago, and raised a few eyebrows – was I showing signs of becoming a nano-risk skeptic? I hope not, as as I still feel emerging evidence and trends indicate major perceived and real risk-related barriers lie in the path of developing nanoscale science and engineering successfully, if we aren't smart. But I have always adhered to the idea that successful and responsible technology development depends on taking an evidence-based approach – even if that evidence is sometimes uncomfortable. And so these days I sometimes worry that too much is made of artificial constructs surrounding "nanotechnology", and not enough is made of the underlying science. Reading through Howard's piece, I felt it was a pretty accurate reflection of our conversation. There are a couple of places where it possibly indicates less concern on my part than is warranted. Toward the end of the piece for instance I am quoted as saying "there is no need [for the nanobusiness community] to respond to individual challenges such as this lawsuit against the FDA", referring to a recent lawsuit by consumer advocates against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which claims the FDA is failing to regulate nanomaterials in products. I'm pretty sure I did say something along these lines. But the context was that lawsuits like these are a relatively widely used mechanism for holding federal agencies to account and prodding them into action. And while they are often important, the nanobusiness community need to understand this context and be aware of the bigger picture when it comes to responsible and sustainable development. Overall though, the piece captures my increasingContinue Reading →

text: Hi, I'm 19 and I've been skating for about 3 years on and off (I took a break my freshman year of college, something I really regret). When I was in Utah, I started preparing to take my Pre-Preliminary test, but since moving to Kentucky I've had to find a new coach. My new coach is telling me that I shouldn't take Pre-Preliminary, I should take the Pre-Bronze test instead. She said that I won't be held to the same standard as those who have been skating since they were five, and that it's probably easier for me. I don't generally like to pass up challenges, so I don't really know how I feel about backing down on taking Pre-Preliminary just because Pre-Bronze may be easier. Also, I saw that adult tests only go up to Gold, which is the equivalent to Juvenile. I'm hoping to go farther than that. What does everyone think about this situation? For those who have taken Pre-Bronze or have chosen the adult skating track, why did you choose it? Do you think I should just go for the Pre-Bronze? I thought it was age based, but I know people way older than me in Utah taking their Juvenile and above tests.

LA museum illustrates death in Middle Ages
By John Rogers, AP Monday, June 11, 2012, 12:05 am TWN
LOS ANGELES -- Death and taxes may both be inevitable in this modern-day world of ours, yet it seems only death has had the ability to inspire great art in people since at least Medieval times.
So much so that life's final curtain call, as seen through the brushes and pens of artists of the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries, is the subject of the J. Paul Getty Museum's latest exhibition, "Heaven, Hell and Dying Well: Images of Death in the Middle Ages."
With paintings, drawings, parchment illustrations and works on stained glass, each of them intricately detailed and most of them stunningly colorful, the exhibition takes visitors on a tour of the final days of existence and straight into the afterlife.
It opened last week in a dimly lit gallery that, while the space was darkened mainly to protect the priceless and fragile parchment works, also manages to evoke through its muted lighting a quiet, contemplative space for reflecting on the end of life's existence.
It will remain there through Aug. 12, in the sprawling museum nestled in the hills above Los Angeles.
The exhibition's creation was the brainchild of guest curator Martin Schwarz, who although just 26 is fascinated both by death and how its representation in films, books and other modern media appears so strongly influenced by the European artists of 500 to 700 years ago.
It was during the Middle Ages that those artists, perhaps influenced by the relatively short life spans of a period marked by disease, wars and terrifyingly high child mortality rates, really began to envision what it was like to confront death at almost any moment, says Schwarz.
What's more, their work, often used to illustrate Biblical and other stories that had been handed down through the centuries, began to take on a look that continues to this day in the way devils, vampires, angels and other such creatures are portrayed.
"If you think about the imagination of Heaven and Hell in movies and popular culture and books and so forth, very much these ideas go back to the Middle Ages," Schwarz said recently by phone from Chicago, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in art history at the University of Chicago. "Everybody who thinks about Hell today knows about demons, and when we see them we identify them very easily because we know what they look like from these artists."
In the 15th century book "The Visions of the Knight Tondal," for example, French artist Simon Marmion painted Hell pretty much as it is represented today: as a big, red, blast-furnace-like place filled with familiar demons and tortured souls.
Among those souls, in both Marmion's and other artists' works, are a fair share of priests and nuns who are being tormented for eternity for failing to maintain their chastity vows during their lifetimes.
"That's among my favorites," said Elizabeth Morrison, the museum's senior curator of manuscripts, as she pointed out a collection of beleaguered priests and nuns. She noted it is a reminder that today's priestly sex scandals are nothing new.
As for Death himself, in an illustration for the prayer book "Denise Poncher Before Death," he also appears much as he does today. He's a big, boney fellow covered in worms and armed with his trademark scythe.

Hi everyone,
We're very lucky in New York to have a large variety of concerts to attend and/or collect autographs at on any given day. We are equally lucky to have such an amazing variety of venues to do so at. One popular venue is BB King's Blues Grill in Times Square. The club is often a venue for tribute bands, but, on occasion, some of rock and roll's true legends perform there. In fact, in the past year, just by waiting at the stage door there, I have gotten in-person glimpses of…Continue

On TMZ Monday night, they showed Charlie Sheen leaving his fathers place in Los Angeles. He signed lots of autographs, and took photos with every fan that wanted one. Nobody asked him about his recent court case, and I'm guessing, he was on his best behavior with the fans as a PR move. But hey -- if more autograph collectors can score this way, cool.

On TMZ, a few different times this week, I've seen him signing autographs outside of various clubs and TV shows.
I swear, that show is the best for seeing celebs and what their signing habits are.
The staff of TMZ said he doesn't usually sign, let alone talk, but with Shutter Island coming out tonight, he's doing the smart PR thing.

Hi all,
For the past few years, I've been going to Florida each February for spring training. I've obtained autographs from such stars as Jason Giambi, Tommy Lasorda, and Randy Johnson this way. This year, however, practices started a bit late-and therfore I was only able to go to two camps. The Phillies camp in Clearwater was very spread out-meaning little to no opportunity for autographs. I didn't see a single player sign at all. At the Tigers camp in Lakeland, however, there was a…Continue

Election officials decided the Rock is too small to be designated as a European parliamentary region on its own and needed to be "attached" to a mainland region.
It means Gibraltarian parties can stand in the South West, with those MEPs elected charged with representing both that region and Gibraltar in the European Parliament.
Voters in Gibraltar, who number less than 20,000, will also have a say in who is elected to represent the region, which currently has about 5 million voters.
Tourism links
There was broad support among Gibraltar's political leaders for joining the South West, and all but one of the region's current MEPs actively promoted the addition of Gibraltar.
Sam Younger, chair of the Electoral Commission, said: "Our priority has always been to ensure the most effective representation of the people of Gibraltar.
"We believe that combination with the South West best satisfies this condition and will be broadly welcomed by people in Gibraltar and in the region."
The move follows a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in 1999.
The court said the electoral rights of Denise Matthews, a British citizen living in Gibraltar, had been violated because she could not vote in European elections.
The commission considered a number of criteria in its investigation - including which region is closest to Gibraltar, and which region shares tourism, maritime and industry interests with the British colony.

I hate how religions portray homosexuality
I hate when people start with religion and sexuality. They tell us how this stupid book says we can't be gay or whatever. They say its unnatural and try to 'FIX' us or abuse us. What if we don't want to be fixed, I certainly don't want to change my sexuality and third gender which I'm sure they are against too. Instead of trying to find a cure so people can be happy too, why don't they just leave us alone? My dad always brings up this stupid thing about how gays are wrong and how having same-sex intercourse is like doing it with animals. I told him that it's completely different because that's all about sex rather than sexuality and the animal can not make a mature choice as to if it wants to because it cannot speak so it's like RAPE, which is wrong. I'm really getting annoyed with the world's views on gays/transgenders and everything else. It's sickening. I want to help stop this madness but I don't know how. What can I do?? I feel so hopeless that the world is doomed to be forever like this.

People have been sceptical about laser eye surgery. Are there any side effects of this type of operation? Will the long term result be a favourable one?
With a study that was conducted, doubters will not anymore be sceptical regarding the effectiveness of LASIK eye surgery. Millions of people with eye problems are now reassured that correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism through LASIK surgery is a safe and effective method.
What research study suggests
According to the longest follow up of patients who underwent the LASIK eye laser surgery for visual correction, there is a very minimal rate of complications for the sampled individuals. On the contrary, the research suggests a very high rate of long term positive result and satisfaction with the operation.
The Miguel Hernandez University Medical School of Spain followed for 10 years patients who had undergone LASIK operation. These patients had low, tolerable and severe myopia. The head of the research team reported that less than 20 percent of those with low and moderate myopia underwent retreatment during the 10 year period.
LASIK surgery is safe and very effective
LASIK is now the most popular and commonly used operation in treating people with nearsightedness. This is sometimes called by medical practitioners as the "flap and zap surgery". In the LASIK surgical operation, a small flap is cut out in the cornea and then reshapes the cornea by the help of a laser.
Surveys and thorough study concluded that LASIK is a safe and effective eye laser surgery. Complications in patients following the LASIK procedure were very rare among the participants in the study. The trend was that most complications happened in the days or months following the operation contrary to the fear of many that complications will take place after several years from the day of operation. These complications were the minor issues such as itchiness and burning sensation felt by the patient. They were not purely complications but rather natural effects of the surgery.
The research findings are reassuring to millions of people worldwide who want to be operated through the LASIK eye surgery. With great certainty, doctors and medical practitioners can now say that the method is a safe long term procedure.

#43-48: Artisanal chocolate ups its game

Have you seen the latest anti-Obama billboards? If not, Fox News is here to help
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Today on his Fox News show, Neil Cavuto kicked off a segment by asking his viewers if they have seen a recent rash of anti-Obama billboards in Atlanta. Cavuto pointed out that the group behind the billboards is "trying to raise money to take them nationwide" - which is where Fox News comes in.
During the segment, Cavuto hosted Tommy Newberry, spokesman for Billboards Against Obama, to discuss how he and his partners would, in Newberry's words, use "their free market skills to help slow the slide into socialism."
Throughout the segment, Fox repeatedly flashed the URL of Newberry's website and displayed several examples of the anti-Obama billboards. As Cavuto helpfully explained, "[p]eople get to the site and they can make a donation. Because some of these billboards, they don't come cheap."
If you visit Newberry's website, you are greeted with several examples of anti-Obama billboards -- which you may recognize from the Cavuto segment -- a paypal link for donations, and this introductory text:
Do you love freedom? Do you love independence? Do you value the opportunity in the United States to work hard, take risks, and succeed? If the current administration completes the process they are racing to achieve, all of this will be gone! To stop the madness, we must speak out now. BILLBOARDS AGAINST OBAMA is a practical and effective way to join the battle, be seen, be heard, before it's too late!
Isn't it ironic...letting capitalism fight socialism!
Newberry mentioned that their campaign has been more successful than they could have hoped so far, but "in the last three days" they have been getting almost a donation a minute. One possible explanation for the uptick in attention? Fox Nation promoted the anti-Obama billboards last week.
And in a nice bit of "we're not even trying to be a news organization any more" synergy, Cavuto seamlessly transitioned from promoting the anti-Obama billboards into hyping his upcoming Tax Day Tea Party:
Based on their recent history of promoting anti-Obama billboards, we should probably expect to see Newberry on Fox & Friends in the next day or two.

For the past few months, I've been heads down talking to our clients about storage refreshes. There have been some technology refreshes, primarily from some product coming up on end of life. However, for the most part, I've been consistently hearing the pain that I&O professionals have been suffering, which is from the storage capacity overload of server virtualization. Many today, however, are suffering even more, because not only do they have the server virtualization storage growth problems, but now it's compounded with VDI, AND the overall private cloud initiatives many organizations have in place. Not only has their storage grown by 50% in the last 12 months, but it's now projected to grow another 50% in the next 12 months. Before another million dollars plus investment is made, many are asking (as should you) the question: Is throwing more hardware going to really solve the problem?
These three BIG initiatives have a significant impact on how storage architectures change. But the reality is that storage has been an afterthought for a long time, and today, there is much change that has to happen. Features such as thin provisioning, deduplication (for primary environments), and compression have all been available for some time now and must be a part of common practice and procedures for managing storage that is supporting virtualization environments. And this is key. Having tools and solutions in place that understand your virtualization environment are critical to the overall success of your private cloud initiative, because storage is one of the integrated foundational blocks of establishing a private cloud environment in your data center. Today, it's difficult to manage your storage without understanding what's happening in the network as well in your server virtualization environment.

I guess I have to chime in on the whole bucket list issue. Am I opposed to the idea of a bucket list, or as we like to call it, a cherry list? Of course not, it doesn't even bother me to think of it as a list of things that we want to do while we're still on this earth. But, I have to agree with the morbidity in it. I don't like the idea of crossing off items and getting closer to the end of the list. What comes after that list item is checked off? Is it then time to "kick the bucket" after we just filled it up? What I've discovered is that you'll never cross off that last item. For every item on the list that you try and accomplish, you're going to find at least three new things to add while you're doing it. I don't look at that as one step forward, three steps back, however, I think of it as one step forward, three new paths to follow. No, if I can still get there, I'll still find things out there to fascinate and educate me about this amazing planet.
Anyway, cherries are my favorite fruit. In Turkey we'd buy them at the orchard for about five bucks for a five kilo bag. That's the life, just driving down the road, enjoying cherries and leaving the pits along the roadside to hopefully, someday, grow even more cherry trees. I guess the point is, I love cherries, if I eat my way through five kilos, there's always another cherry season coming up and another five kilos to work my way through. Call it a bucket list, a cherry list, a to do list, a things I really want to see someday list, or whatever, but make a list, grab a bag of cherries, and head out the door.
Here's some of the cherries still in my bag:
Hot air balloon over the Serengeti
Ride the metro through Moscow's metro stations
Fly in a helicopter (and not on a medevac!)
Spelunking in a cave, any cave, but it has to be real spelunking, not just walking along a path
Rafting through the Grand Canyon
Riding a motorcycle across a continent
Sleep under the stars in Natural Bridges, Utah
Learn to surf
Antarctica Cruise
Sail port to port in a tall ship
See whales; narwhal, blue whale, and shark whale are still on my list
Fly over the Nazca lines in Peru
Explore the Amazonian rain forest
Smoke a cigar while driving an old classic car in Cuba (okay, maybe I won't actually smoke the cigar, just chew on it for awhile)
Timbuktu and the mud brick Djinguereber Mosque
Drive across the Andes on the Paso Los Libertadores between Chile and Argentina
Boating around the Florida Keys and the Dry Tortugas
Raise Bees and eat my own honey
Explore Madagascar
See a tornado (from a safe distance)
See polar bears in the wild
Trekking in the Himalayas, I don't need to climb Mt. Everest, but I would like to see it
Bet on a horse at the Kentucky Derby
Rock-hewn Churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia
The ancient Aztec city, Teotihuacan, in Mexico

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The bad blood between Hollywood's two major actors' unions reached Hatfield and McCoy levels during the weekend just as they prepare to negotiate new labor contracts for their members.
Saturday's stunning decision by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to negotiate its own deal with the studios rather than in partnership with the bigger and more-confrontational Screen Actors Guild (SAG) raises the question of which union will sit down first for formal talks.
The unions' TV-theatrical contract, which they have jointly negotiated for 27 years, expires on June 30. The studios, slowly recovering from the 100-day writers' strike, are fearful of another walkout and are delaying work on projects that could be interrupted in the summer.
The union that does not negotiate a new contract first with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP) could find itself facing a bigger battle, depending on whether its proposals are greatly different than what was agreed upon by the other union.
AFTRA, whose contract covers 44,000 members of both unions, has been pushing for early talks all along, so it would come as no surprise if it were first to the table.
Both unions said Sunday that they would be getting in touch with the AMPTP within the next few days.
"Informal discussions are happening and we expect to set a timeline soon," AFTRA president Roberta Reardon said.
SAG executive director and chief negotiator Doug Allen said the union plans to call the AMPTP Monday. Continued...

It's summer! Go on a picnic.
By John Henry
Food Service Director, Rockford Public Schools
Michigan has so many fun places to go for a family picnic. What a great way to spend time with the family. One of my favorite things to do is find a remote place on a lake or river where we can have summer fun fishing, swimming, water sports and of course eating! Hopefully you will be able to enjoy your summer too. But be safe!
Plan ahead so you don't forget the essential items. Your checkpoint list should include a cooler chest with ice, plenty of clean utensils, paper towels, thermometer, trash bags, and containers for left overs.
In preparation for your picnic: don't thaw meat on counter overnight – that is not safe. Thaw foods in the refrigerator or cook from a frozen state. Cooking frozen meat or poultry will take 50% longer than the recommended time for fully thawed or fresh meat and poultry. And don't partially cook meat or poultry ahead of time. That can be risky. It's safest to cook meat & poultry to a safe internal temperature at the picnic.
For a worry free picnic, place perishable foods, such as hotdogs, burgers, poultry, potato salads, etc. in a well insulated cooler with plenty of ice. Keep it cold until you need it.
Don't leave foods out in the sun. Serve food quickly from the cooler and return it fast. In hot weather, especially temps above 90F, foods shouldn't be out of the cooler over an hour,
Always check the temperatures of your grilled foods to ensure the proper internal temperatures are met.
According to Servsafe Essentials Fifth Edition, those temps include but are not limited to:
165F poultry-including whole or ground chicken, turkey or duck, stuffed meats
155F ground beef, pork and other meat
145F seafood-including fish, shellfish and crustaceans, steaks, chops, veal and lamb
145F roasts of pork, beef, veal and lamb
Serve food on clean platters and make sure grills are clean before use.
I don't normally have this problem , but make sure left overs are kept cold in the cooler until you return home and can be refrigerated.
Food always tastes better outside. Go picnic! Have fun!

Hi everyone! You came here to find out about Dana McDonald, so here we go! First let
me say that I LOVE what I do! I've been lucky enough to be able to do what I love for
over 30 years, the last 22 at Delmarva Broadcasting! I started my radio "career" at
WQHQ (Q-105) in Salisbury, from there I went to Fredericksburg, VA. (B-101.5), then
to WSTW (93-7) and Swing/Weekends at WWMX (Mix 106.5) and WLIF (Today's 101.9) in
Baltimore, and finally made the move to Cool 101.3 in late 2010. When I'm not
on Cool 101.3, I'm working a wedding or party with my mobile DJ company (
danamcdonalddj.com), having
fun with my 3 boys (all 12 years old or younger), or driving my wife crazy with my
"amazing" drumming skills! I look forward to meeting all of you, and I hope you'll
join me every weekday morning between 5:30 and 10!
Winner of the Hyundai Accent!
Comments...from Dr David Schluck
I just heard you mention your 17 pound Maine Coon cat. I've got a 30 pound (yes, 30 pounds) Norwegan Forrest cat. His body is 22" from shoulders, his tail is 14" long, his head is the size of a softball, his feet are 1-1/4" across, and he's 43" long from paws to tip of tail when he stretches. In any book, that's alot of kitty. And, to top it all off, he just turned 3 . . . Thx.

• EDITOR'S NOTE: On Campus features graduates of area high schools who are performing athletically in college, and it appears weekly during the school year. If you know of someone who could be featured here, contact Mirza Zukic by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or at (724) 465-5555, ext. 267.
Alex Woodrow has only one goal this season, and exactly one chance to reach it. Such is life for a 10,000-meter specialist.
A long-distance runner on the Duquesne men's track and field team, Woodrow had one thing in mind as he began his junior outdoor season Friday, and that was reaching the NCAA East Regional for the second straight season. If he can do that, Woodrow will give himself a chance to qualify for the NCAA Division I Championships in early June, and that's all he can ask for.
"That's basically the equivalent of making the NCAA tournament in basketball," Woodrow said. "That was kind of the goal this year. It still is the goal, to make it back to regionals. Once you're there, you never know what could happen, like the NCAA tournament. We'll see in the next month or so."
A 10,000-meter specialist for the Dukes, Woodrow reached the East Regional as a sophomore last season, and he placed 22nd in the 48-man race to miss qualifying for the NCAA Championships by 10 places.
The Marion Center graduate wants to get back there, but he's giving himself just one chance to qualify.
As he continues to recover from an injury he suffered during the indoor season, Woodrow is essentially using the regular season as a long training session in his recovery process.
Woodrow doesn't much care if he wins every regular-season race or none of them. In fact, as long as he's feeling better with every mile he covers, he won't lose sleep over performances like Friday's 19th-place finish out of 37 finishers in the 3,000 at the Colonial Relays hosted by William & Mary College.
Woodrow's entire outdoor season is a series of moves with one goal in mind: get back to the regionals.
"It's not where I want to be," Woodrow said after running an 8:51.99 in the 3,000 on Friday night. "That wasn't really good, but our goal for the season is to kind of get healthy in the next three weeks, put the mileage in and get some good workouts in and just get ready for the conference meet."
"The only goal really is the 10K. These races I'm running now like the 3K and the 5K, these races are just going to gear me up for the 10K. Especially, since I'm coming off an injury, we're keeping it light until I can be 100 percent healthy. … The 10K is definitely my focus."
With no dual meets on their schedule, Woodrow and the Dukes see about five live competitions each outdoor season prior to the Atlantic-10 Conference Championships.
That's just how it is at the college level, Woodrow said, and that's why he only has one chance to qualify for regionals, at the A-10 Championships May 3-4.
"It just takes such a long time for your body to recover from the 10,000," he said.
That's the only time all season Woodrow will run his marquee event. It might sound strange to some unfamiliar with track and field, but "that's just kind of what we do," Woodrow countered.
That seems to put a whole lot of pressure on one race, but it's no different than the pressure Woodrow places on himself to perform well.
"I'd like to think I'm mentally tough," he said. "I know (running the 10,000 once) puts pressure on me, but I'm used to that because I put pressure on myself to do well. I don't need an outside source putting pressure on me. But at the same time, if I don't accomplish it, I'll live with it knowing I have one more year to come back and try to make it to nationals."
During the indoor season, Woodrow competed at only three meets, and he ran the 5,000 twice and 3,000 once.
In fact, every competitive race he runs leading up to the Atlantic 10 Outdoor Championships will be 3,000 and 5,000 meters, only meant to be tune-ups for the 10,000 at the A-10 meet.
"We don't like to race a whole lot. We like to get quality workouts in, quality meets where we get good miles. You don't race a whole lot, but when you get those opportunities, you have to capitalize," Woodrow said.
Woodrow became just the sixth Duquesne male runner in program history to qualify for regionals last season.
"It's actually been a lot of fun," Woodrow said of his time a Duquesne so far, "just the fact that I'm some kid from Indiana, competing at the Division I level, going up against guys who have accomplished a lot more than me but I've been able to compete with them. Hopefully I represent the university and represent my hometown the best I can."
"It's humbled me a lot just to see what kind of athletes are out there. You go from being a big fish in a small pond to one of the littlest fish in the big ocean. It's been a life learning experience for sure."
JORDAN BRITCHER, VINCE MURPHY AND MIKE PANCHIK (Saint Vincent, baseball): Three area products play for the Bearcats, who are off to a 9-11 start this season, and two of the local players are regulars in the Saint Vincent rotation.
An Indiana graduate, Britcher is a mainstay in the Bearcats' lineup as a senior. A designated hitter/outfielder, he has appeared in 16 of the Bearcats' 20 games and entered the weekend batting .340 (16-for-47) with a pair of doubles. He is tied for third on the team with 11 runs scored and ranks fourth with nine RBIs. Britcher also ranks second on the team in walks and has a .446 on-base percentage.
Britcher, who pitched for the Bearcats as a freshman, is a career .321 hitter (52-for-162) and has a career .421 on-base percentage. He rarely goes down on strikes, with only 26 strikeouts in 65 career games.
A junior outfielder, Murphy has struggled to get going this season after leading the team in hitting as a sophomore in 2013. Murphy is batting .250 (11-for-44) in 16 games, including 15 starts, with one extra-base hit and seven RBIs. The team leader in walks (9), he sports a respectable .433 on-base percentage and he has a team-high six stolen bases. Last season, he led the team with a .351 batting average (39-for-111).
A Derry graduate, Murphy is a steady presence defensively. In 34 chances this season, he's committed one errors and has a .971 fielding percentage. In 61 career games, he's committed just two errors.
A sophomore right-handed relief pitcher, Panchik has appeared in four games for the Bearcats this season and ranks second on the team in ERA (2.79). The Homer-Center graduate has given up 12 hits and four runs (three earned) in 9 2-3 innings this season.
Panchik (1-0), who appeared in just one game as a freshman last season, earned his first career win this week with 3 1-3 scoreless innings in Saint Vincent's 16-8 win over Geneva on Tuesday.
JOHN JONES and TY FERLIN (Westminster, baseball): A pair of Ligonier Valley graduates, Jones and Ferlin are regulars in the Titans' lineup. While Ferlin is struggling to find his groove in his first season of college baseball, Jones is ripping the cover off the ball early in the season.
A junior third baseman/pitcher, Jones has started 16 of the Titans' 17 games, and he's batting a team-leading .458 (22-for-48). He ranks second on the team with 10 RBIs, and he leads Westminster in slugging percentage (.563) and on-base percentage (.544).
Despite being a staple in the Titans' order as a freshman, Ferlin has struggled at the plate. The second baseman has started all 17 games, but he is just 6-for-39 for a batting average of .154. Ferlin has a team-leading 13 strikeouts. In 45 fielding chances this season, he's committed just two errors for a fielding percentage of .972.
CHRISTINE HENDERSON (Seton Hill, softball): The former Ligonier Valley standout is a force to be reckoned with in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
A do-it-all junior, Henderson is the Griffins' top pitcher and their best hitter. In 20 games this season, she's hitting .456 (31-for-68) with a team-leading 18 RBIs. A first baseman when she isn't pitching, she also leads the team in on-base percentage (.479) and ranks second in slugging percentage (.618).
Seton Hill's No. 1 starter, Henderson has a 6-3 record in 12 games this season, including eight starts. She has given up 50 hits and only 11 walks in 57 innings, has a team-low 2.58 ERA and struck out 67 batters. Opponents are hitting .238 against her.
She was named the PSAC West Pitcher of the Week two weeks ago.
In its first season of competing in the PSAC, Seton Hill (13-7) visits IUP on April 19.

The Regional Works Councils were created by unanimous vote during the 2013 legislative session. Each of the 11 council are comprised of approximately 15 local education and workforce leaders from within their respective region. The Works Councils are charged with facilitating sector partnerships within their region and enhancing the career readiness of Hoosier adults and high school students through the development and support of innovative career and technical education (CTE) curricula. This is achieved by expanding new approaches toward earning industry-recognized certifications, increasing dual credits attainment, and creating both project-based learning and work-based learning opportunities designed to align curriculum with regional workforce needs.
The Regional Works Councils staff provides each council with administrative support, consultation services, grant administration, project management, and board instruction and development. The staff also collaborates the efforts of each council through the development of best practices and the planning of regional and statewide conferences.
"All students deserve the same opportunity for success, whether they want to go to college or start their career right out of high school. This is not about a Plan A and a Plan B –this is about two Plan A's." ~ Governor Mike Pence
