Datacenter Advocacy by Ben Hwang
Saturday, December 12th, 2009 @ 8:36AM
I believe that datacenter justification isn't too difficult when you wrap your head around what is most important to those that use the services in your day-to-day operations and the services are more or less transparent to them. For example, email and web sites are only noticed when it reacts slow, or are down. For those that are non-technical, no one really pays attention to the uptime, bandwidth or anything else. So your focus should be on the negatives of passive technology whenever you advocate for datacenter improvements. Some of the questions that you should be asking would be:
"Do you think the downtime for your email is acceptable?"
"If we run into some sort of problem such as [insert problem example], are you willing to have decreased productivity?"
In this day and age, most people understand the effects that technology downtime have on them even if they are not technical. For example, most users will never really think about their cell phone service until a problem happens. Perhaps a dropped call, or bad connection, but the technology becomes a passive part of their every day life. So to justify improvements, one methodology is to approach it from the passive end with terms that they would understand.
There is another component to this. Often to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical people, the key is to listen to the specific questions and respond in terms that the person can understand. Technical people often feel most comfortable using acronyms and technical words that the other person might not have knowledge of and when asked a question, answer with those types of terms. If this communication gap is not bridged, then you'll get a frustrated non-technical manager with an equally frustrated technical person that is trying to seek for a larger budget for passive technology. I believe that to advocating any sort of tool, especially those of a datacenter, require this skill set in communicating with others.
Communiating IT Goals by Matt Villano
Sunday, December 13th, 2009 @ 12:36PM
Communicating data center priorities to non-technical managers can be challenging, especially when many of these non-technical folks don't usually concern themselves with day-to-day operations in the data center.
That's when branding like a consumer vendor (think Budweiser or Coke) can come in handy.
Here's a lesson from the world of higher education. Last year, after some identity theft incidents, the folks at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge rolled out an in-house credit monitoring system designed to raise awareness among users (read: students) about phishing and the dangers associated with it. Admittedly, these are pretty dry topics. But the IT department got the word out in a fun and catchy way.
Their strategy revolved around an on-campus advertising campaign around "Tad Ramey," a dolt who regularly did dumb stuff like reply to email with personal information from a public terminal and shout out his Social Security Number in an open quad. The message of the campaign, "Don't be a Tad," (warning:pdf link) went out on bus ads and banners across campus.
Users heeded these warnings almost immediately, signing up for the credit monitoring service in droves. Reports from the school's CIO indicate identity theft is down considerably (of course until the next big hack attack, but we digress).
Obviously, this example deals with security, not the data center. Still, the idea here is the same—by livening up complicated (and, to some, dull) concepts and priorities, it's easy to build a consistent campaign that resonates with non-technical users. Once you've got the attention of these users, it's that much easier to communicate with them.
Inside an enterprise, particularly concerning the data center, this might mean flyers in a lunchroom about new strides in datacenter energy management, ads on the company Intranet touting a new commitment to virtualization, even a Microsite about the importance of changing passwords.
The bottom line: innovation in communication comes with approaching the everyday from a new perspective. Just because it's the data center doesn't mean it can't be sexy.
Dealing With Server Sprawl by Todd DiGirolamo
Sunday, December 13th, 2009 @ 12:54PM
Of all the trends I have witnessed in my 10 years of being a network administrator/manager, the one that has seen little if no argument, is the need to reduce server sprawl. When your average server was once in the 4U to 6U range, the amount of rack space and cooling needs quickly got out of control. It was common to only have 4 to 6 servers in your standard 19-inch rack. These racks themselves could cost upwards of $1000, and then there the KVM needs, maintenance on each physical box, etc. We all know/remember the pain points. Although, as an admin, it was impressive to show off 10 racks full of servers with blinking LED's (as long as they were all green!). But once that equipment aged and caused additional support headaches, we all wanted nothing more than to reduce the "head count".
So started the consolidation initiative. Consolidating file and print servers was easy. Throw more horsepower in a single box, and you could put more into it. You could even knock down some database servers that way. So, what were the real challenges? The insistence from application vendors to have dedicated systems for their apps. Seems like every app my company purchased meant 2 more servers (app + db). I know this was probably my biggest fight. A fight that I escalated all the way up to the CIO. So we started insisting to vendors that we would not accept this as a requirement. We probably turned away some really decent applications because of vendors who wouldn't accept their app living on shared systems. And then there were existing apps that we just migrated to shared systems, and I can tell you that doing that caused some support nightmares.
When virtualization and blade servers came on the scene, or should I say came down in price and went up in dependability, we saw drastic declines in space requirements, cooling needs, power consumption, etc. Between virtual servers and blades, I have roughly 100 servers housed in my first 2 racks. And that includes the storage and fiber switches. My general rule of deploying new servers is virtual first, blade second, and stand alone as a last resort if deemed necessary. What I didn't give immediate thought to was reviewing my stance on the above mentioned practice of consolidating my app servers, even if it was against the vendor's requirements.
Now I'm not saying that it's a good practice to separate every single app, database, or infrastructure server. Many vendors (because of customer's insistence) fully support their apps running on shared systems now, and I do that whenever it is supported and causes no issues. There is still OS license and maintenance costs for each server instance. And of course each one has to be maintained, secured, patched, etc. even if it is virtual. But what I am saying is that virtualization and blade servers have given me the ability to add dedicated systems with little or no impact on some of the previous pain points. If there is ROI in deploying an app, or just a definitive need, I don't hesitate in provisioning a dedicated system for it, if it is required. Doing so has helped tremendously in application support from the vendor, maintenance windows (which did not always coincide when running multiple apps on one box), and it keeps one rogue application from taking down 2 or 3 others. Again, I am not promoting server sprawl, but rather recommending that returning to dedicated application systems in certain circumstances, is not as painful with the newer technologies available to us.
I would be interested in hearing how other admins feel on the subject.
Real-world solutions by David Cassel
Monday, December 14th, 2009 @ 11:57PM
I worked for a tiny department which handled more records than the IRS. Our datacenter had grown from a two-person operation to over a dozen employees in just a few years - and I was impressed with how successful they were at communicating their priorities.
For starters, there were ongoing efforts to educate the entire department on what the datacenter did. (One manager even performed tours of the datacenter facility for all of the new-hires!) And a systems architect once sent around an article from Slashdot about a security breach -- just its URL, with a single-sentence warning that this is what happens when you don't secure your datacenter. There were also helpful e-mails sent about how new privacy legislation which would affect both our datacenter and our managers. I think an occasional news article can reinforce datacenter priorities better than an abstract explanation - and it also starts a larger conversation, which is where real understanding can happen.
Yes, this falls under the general heading of "communication," but there's some very specific ways to make that happen. When our data team held their weekly meetings, they'd also encourage other managers to audit the discussion so they'd learn about the datacenter's issues. And though it sounds corny, we even tried creating a departmental newsletter that would familiarize the department with faces in the datacenter and news about the latest challenges. But in our case, the most important factor was support from the head of the department. When the top manager understands the importance of the datacenter's work, that helps dictate the conversation for the rest of the organization!
I think what helped us most was something I'd call "showing not telling." The datacenter is in a unique position to cultivate good will by provide customized data read-outs and applications. Managers want, more than anything, good information -- they want fresh data, comprehensive data, and if at all possible, interactive data. Our top manager ensured that the datacenter had the resources and employees to provide this kind of service - which got the managers and the datacenter working together.
The standard way for assessing priorities is security, "preemptive redundancy", and then uptime. While these are paramount, I think there's also a case to made for the depth of the data -- how far back it goes, how quickly it can be accessed. But here's a creative: how about looking at how many employee-hours are spent maintaining the data? We had one application that only refreshed its data because one employee drove in at 5 a.m. every morning and then manually launched the scripts which would clean up the raw inputs and update one crucial database. When the same operations can be performed more efficiently and effectively, it leaves more time for maintenance and troubleshooting!
A datacente can fight for their priorities in lots of different ways - including education, communication, high-level support, and demonstrated value. But here's the bottom line. It's easier to get support for your priorities when managers understand what the datacenter does!

MultiCD needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Awesomeosaurus T-shirts
Brand new company that needs a design to launch with by December as my designer-friend has creative block(!) The concept behind the company is simple: one design, one color (t-shirt) and 28 days to buy it before it goes "extinct". 10% of the profits goes to a named charity (per each design). I'm hoping that through the Facebook fan page we can get a good community going and create some great conversation over which charities to support and what dino themes people want to see next.
All demographics really, these are t-shirts after all. I would say though that we supply kids' sizes so they can't be too realistic on the blood and gore that ol' T-Rex loves to get involved in ;-)
I had visions of a T-Rex fighting a bunch of zombies! Who would win?
...I know, stay off the mushrooms :p
Let your creativity go wild, it doesn't have to be the above! Only constraints are:
* No text.
* Stick to one of the colors in the attachment as the background - I prefer the paler colors over the gold and orange - though could be proved wrong.
* The design can't go round the back, over the shoulder or onto the arms. You won't go wrong with centralized design.
* Dimensions: max 2700px by 3300px at 200PPI (13.5"W x 16.5"H at 200DPI).
* File format and max size: .png (and .ai if you use it) no bigger than 10MB.
* Enjoy life and be excellent to one another.

1968 Jeep Jeepster Buildup - Jeepster ResurrectionPosted in Project Vehicles on July 1, 2009
For some perverse reason, we keep buying these piles of parts and justifying thepurchases by calling them Jeeps. While it usually translates into great stories, it never gets easier for us. Most people learn from their mistakes. Except, apparently, for Jp magazine editors. Year after year, and time after time, we go and buy long-neglected Jeeps and try to get them ready to not only drive, but wheel, some big event; often with time tables that seem OK to us at the time, but once we are honest with ourselves afterwards, weren't anywhere near attainable.
So, true to Jp magazine form, Trasborg bought this '68 Jeepster two weeks before Tierra Del Sol's Desert Safari. It hadn't run in about five years, it had two deflated tires, it had overlooked the Pacific Ocean for those years (read: salt air and possible rust), and it shared space with a bunch of goats and sheep.
Sounds like a bargain, right? Eh, there were extenuating factors-some of the other editors Trasborg worked with had hands on the Jeep, and it had some solid, but not ostentatious, upgrades.
Cappa himself replaced the rear Dana 30 with a Dana 44 from '72 CJ-5. The Dana 44 had all new brakes, new gears, new bearings, and new seals. The ignition was replaced, the carburetor rebuilt, the leaky plastic fuel filler swapped out, it had aftermarket springs under it, and at some point it had been treated to a full interior restoration, including carpet, and new seat upholstery.
So, all in all the $1,000 price tag sounded pretty good, and two weeks to a shakedown run isn't such a huge obstacle, right? Right...
This is going to be a two-part story about resurrecting a Jeepster and breathing enough life back into it to take it wheeling in Moab, Utah, for the Easter Jeep Safari. Check out the sidebar for everything done to this Jeep before the Desert Safari in California, and check out the captions for the highlight reel of a Jeepster resurrection.

Admitting Depression Is The First Step To Recovery
Well after what has seemed to be an eternity, I have decided to crawl out of my off-season hole and get back into the real world. I apologize to my co-writers and to our Lone Star Struck fans for not blogging about our Cowboys. Ever since that loss to the Vikings, I have been in, what I did not want to believe, a depressed state of mind. I have finally realized that loss affected me more than I thought it did. I said right after the loss, just like most of us did, its ok we got our first playoff win in 12 years. We had a great season and this season was a step forward. While all of that is true, that loss devastated me. Not because it was such a great season and I know we have the team to go all the way, but because the way we lost that game.
We were the better team going into that game and EVERYONE knew it. The Cowboys were FINALLY getting the credit they deserved. A stout defense, an offensive line that protected and made holes for 3 GREAT running backs. A TRUE CONTENDER! I do not know what happened that dreadful day but I am now admitting it is eating me apart from the inside out. That is all I can think about and the only way to get back to myself is to write about it.
As for the upcoming season. Free agency has just started and what an active season it is. The SECOND and maybe even third best defensive end in the league, Julius Peppers, has gone to Chicago. Of course the first being Demarcus Ware and second Anthony Spencer. Although I think we might all agree that Spencer needs a year or two more experience! With all the free agents out there and all the teams that need help in their areas, I have not heard much talk about the Cowboys needs. To me, that means we don't have any real "needs". We have what we need to take this team to the next level. We are a championship team.

In the 13 years that I have worked with OCS, this opportunity has only arisen once. While managers come and go, it is very rare when an entire management team comes on new together. While some people might have reservations about that, this is an opportunity for collaboration, energy and initiative.
Every five years Alaska is required to develop a Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP). The CFSP is a five-year strategic plan that sets forth the vision and unique action steps for how Alaska will accomplish its goals and mandates in order to strengthen the child welfare system.
At the request of the Alaska State Employees Association (ASEA) union, the State of Alaska, Department of Administration, has completed a job classification study on the front-line Office of Children's Services workers and managers. A classification study is a job analysis-based review of the work being performed with the goal of updating and revising the job class series to ensure like work for like pay.
Many aspects of our practice at OCS undergo consistent and quality reviews to ensure improvement — and hence better outcomes for families. One area that has not received much attention until recently is intake. Over the past several years, OCS has regionalized intake operations to increase timeliness for ensuring child safety, increasing the expertise and knowledge of those who provide the intake service, and to help our remote field offices focus on the work that demands that workers be in the field, not manning the phones.
The Independent Living Program has funding and support for youth aging out of foster care.

OTTAWA — Amanda Kessel scored the winner early in the third period and the United States beat Canada 3-2 in the gold-medal game of the women's world hockey championship Tuesday.
The sister of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel moved in on a 2-on-1 and roofed a shot over goalie Shannon Szabados at 3:09 of the third.
Brianna Decker and Megan Bozek had the other goals for the U.S., which got two assists from Kendall Coyne.
Courtney Birchard and Caroline Ouellette scored for Canada. Marie-Philip Poulin added two assists.
U.S. goalie Jessie Vetter made 14 saves for the win, while Szabados stopped 27 shots.
Canada, which beat the U.S. 3-2 in a shootout in round-robin play, defeated the Americans 5-4 in overtime in last year's final in Burlington, Vt.
The U.S. and Canada have met in every final since the tournament's inception in 1990. Canada holds a 10-5 lead in gold medals, but the U.S. has won five of the past seven tournaments.
Russia shut out Finland 2-0 to win the bronze medal earlier Tuesday. The Associated Press

Z87 OVERCLOCKING motherboards
Why MSI OVERCLOCKING Motherboards
The MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX motherboard is designed based on four principles:
- Professional overclockers feedback must be integrated
- Continue MSI's leading position in power efficiency and stability
- Only use essential OC tools
- Infuse the DNA of MSI's Lightning graphics cards
Changing the overclocking game
- OC Certified
- Built with Lightning DNA
- Enhanced components
- Enhanced power
- Enhanced thermal design
- Military Class Components
- The cleanest extreme PCB
- Optimized overclocking BIOS
- OC Essentials
- DigitALL Power PWM
OC Certified
OC Certified is a military class burn-in test for motherboards. Running Prime95 for over 24 hours with a highly overclocked CPU is already a stressing endeavor, but removing all airflow from the motherboard ensures that only the best motherboards survive. If a motherboard can survive this, it can survive any overclocking situation.
The MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX motherboard is equipped with all the necessary features to make sure you get the most out of your system. From the Enhanced PWM and Thermal Design that give you the best stability to all the easy features that ensure that you don't have to perform a lot of tricks to get great stability in your quest for performance.
Military Class 4 components
Military Class 4 is the next step in high quality components. The Hi-c CAP, Super Ferrite Choke and Dark CAPs will make sure that your PC runs more stable under extreme conditions.
Hi-c CAP
Hi-c CAP is a very small, but super-efficient capacitor. Besides ensuring enough spacing around a CPU socket to install large coolers, it also allows for 93% energy efficiency. Thanks to Hi-c CAP`s MSI motherboards are the most energy efficient in the market.
Dark CAP
With their aluminum core design, Dark CAP's have been a staple in high-end motherboard design and provides lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) as well as its over-10-year lifespan.
Super Ferrite Choke
Super Ferrite Choke uses a Ferrite core that is Super-Permeable. This allows the Super Ferrite Choke to run at a 35 degree Celsius lower temperature, have a 30% higher current capacity, a 20% improvement in power efficiency and better overclocking power stability.
Military Class Essentials
The core of Military Class 4 is based on the essentials which increase your stability in the toughest conditions.
The humidity protection and high temperature protection ensure your system can survive each environment, no matter how harsh. The new structure of the PCB limits EMI radiation.
On top of that the all the connectors have ESD protection in order to prevent short circuit.
The OC PCB used for the MSI OVERCLOCKING motherboards is a completely new design where 50% more layers are used. This allows us to optimize all traces for overclocking. Power and signal traces are isolated, resulting in higher efficiency and performance and more features can be installed relatively close to each other without causing interference. Every MSI OVERCLOCKING motherboard is tuned for better stability under extreme circumstances:
- Increased number of PCB layers
- Increased humidity resistance
- Tight weave fiberglass PCB
- Increased ESD protection
DigitALL Power PWM
DigitALL Power digitally steers and receives feedback through a DigitALL PWM controller. This allows for pinpoint voltage delivery and lower power consumption. With the switch from analog feedback to digital feedback, you also have the opportunity to implement Load Line Calibration.
Thermal design
Besides inspiring visual awe the MPOWER Thermal Design was developed to deliver the highest cooling potential in the worst situation. Because it is optimized to work in low-airflow situations, it is the ideal cooling to use with your liquid cooling setup.
- MPOWER thermal design
- SuperPipe
- Low airflow
- Optimized design
- Clear CPU space
- Metal screws
Extreme OC socket design
What is more frustrating than not being able to properly fit your cooling solution on your motherboard? Through the use of Military Class 4 components we can ensure that normal coolers can easily be installed and the motherboard can easily be insulated for extreme cooling solutions.
OC Essentials
A small set of tools that are essential to get the best performance out of your motherboard. These features increase stability, assist in trouble shooting, allow you to keep your complete system in check and allow for simple management. This way you can keep your mind on overclocking.

Date: October 6, 2008
Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today reacted to the recent proposal of Louisiana State Representative John LaBruzzo to offer taxpayer money to poor women and men to be sterilized and to offer tax incentives to higher income people to have more children.
"The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, used to say, 'More children from the fit, less from the unfit,'" said Dr. King. "A eugenicist to the core, she would have loved this idea of the government bribing poor people into sterilization. Aside from its being reprehensible, though, we have already seen that this type of plan doesn't eliminate poverty."
"For 35 years, we have offered the poor, especially inner city African Americans, abortion as a solution to their poverty," added Dr. King. "Can anyone seriously claim that aborting one-third of the current African American population has left blacks better off? You can't improve the present by killing the future. Sterilizing the poor is fighting economic poverty with moral bankruptcy."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

I can't believe no one has written this song yet, but a quick google for the line from the chorus suggests no one has. Now, if I can only get Roy Zimmerman to sing it, all would be right in the world.
I've been watching the news from California
Where an activist judge had his say
And conservative pundits now warn ya
You'll only be safe if you're gay
They talk to the networks and papers
And they speak of the dangers and harms
Then they swoon, with a case of the vapors
With their trophy wives clutching their arms
"They're changing the meaning of marriage
The bonds that we used to hold dear
From a heterosexual pair-age
To a union a little more queer
A marriage is sacred and holy
Or at least, it has been so for me;
And perhaps a divorce, as a matter of course,
For to marry wife two or wife three"
I've been watching the queers at the courthouse
Where they pose for the cameras, and kiss
And although I'm not gay, there is one man today
Who I'd join in connubial bliss:
Oh, I wanna marry Newt Gingrich—
He's perfection in only one man
I wanna marry Newt Gingrich,
So I'm thanking the courts that I can!
Cos Newt is an expert on marriage
A commitment "till death do us part"
He's so smart, and so cute; he's my teddy-bear Newt
And I love him with all of my heart
Oh, I wanna marry Newt Gingrich—
The conservative man I adore
I wanna marry Newt Gingrich,
And love him as "spouse number four"!
We'll walk down the aisle together
On that wonderful, magical day
We'll be "Mister and Mister", and maybe Newt's sister
Could give her big brother away
Oh, I wanna marry Newt Gingrich—
What a wonderful, marvelous thing!
I wanna marry Newt Gingrich,
I'll be wearing Newt Gingrich's ring!
Sure, he left his first wife on her deathbed
And he left "Mrs. Two" for "Miss Three"
But with Newt on my arm, I say, "fourth time's a charm!"
He'll be happier married to me!
Yes, I wanna marry Newt Gingrich—
He's perfection in only one man
I wanna marry Newt Gingrich,
So I'm thanking the courts that I can!
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Mr. and Mr. Newt

Apple has rewritten its apology to Samsung following its previous version which was labelled as "non-compliant" by the court that made the initial ruling. Apple was told by Lord Justice Longmore, Lord Justice Kitchin and Sir Robin Jacob that it had to change the wording of the statement and that it should be carried on its home page with at least an 11-point font. The new statement is now appearing in UK newspapers but has not yet appeared on Apple.com. The news comes from The Next web.
When Apple placed the apology on its website on October 26, it ran part of the order but also included references in its UK lawsuits that Samsung products were "not as cool" as its iPad and iPhone devices. The link to the apology was also tucked away in a hard to view section of its website. Apple representatives apparently told the court that it would take up to 14 days to change the statement, but one of the judges refused to believe it.
So 24-hours later, Apple has published the necessary apology in UK newspapers but it remains to be seen how long it will take to update on its website. Currently the original unsatisfactory statement has been removed so we would expect the revised statement to appear sooner rather than later.

How much fun can you have in a city on $10 a day?
By David Clack, for CNN • Published 29th July 2013
View Gallery
8 Pictures
Three days, $30 and only one free activity per day.
Is that possible in Vancouver, recently named the least affordable city in all of North America by The Economist's annual Cost of Living Survey?
That was my challenge, determined to prove you needn't be loaded to have fun in an expensive place.
Ideally, I'd also have a half decent time -- being poor and miserable isn't easy, after all.
Day 1
I arrive early morning with a whole day of costly temptations before me, not to mention some serious, judgment-clouding jet lag.
But the early hour means crowds at tourist hotspots are minimal, so I head to the biggest of them all -- Granville Island.
Located south of downtown in False Creek, the area enforces strict rules against franchise stores and restaurants.
Everyone trading within its indoor Public Market is independent, from three generation-old butchers to fledgling artisan chocolatiers.
Great news for cash-strapped travelers like me -- at least it would be, had the concept of haggling not bypassed Canadian culture.
I wasn't expecting the lively back-and-forth negotiation and open-palmed gestures of an Arabian souk, but this is ridiculous.
Sensing my frustration as I attempt to knock a punnet of cherries from $3.99 to $2.50 (a quarter of my daily budget), a fellow shopper says I can get a good, cheap meal by heading over to the fishmongers and asking for "lox trimmings."
I buy half a pound of the smoky fish, jam it between two bagels from the adjacent bakery stall and have my first meal since Heathrow and the best $4 breakfast of my life.
With the market filling up and $26 left in my pocket, I leave Granville Island to explore the city.
On foot, of course.
Zig-zagging north from Granville Bridge, I cut through the downtown area to Devonian Harbour Park on the northwest corner of town.
Though I'd not planned it, it's here I claim today's freebie, in the form of one of the most impressive collections of public art in the world.
There are more than 300 free-to-see murals and sculptures in Vancouver, and some of the most high profile pieces are along the two-kilometer stretch of waterfront that runs from Devonian Park Harbour to Portside Park in Gastown -- Vancouver's obligatory sketchy, arty, craft beer-y neighborhood.
Culture absorbed, it's time to get a buzz going.
Or, at least, as buzzed as $6 (my remaining budget for the day) can get you, which on the brewpub-lined streets of Gastown isn't very much at all (pints range from from $7-$12 at the likes of Chill Winston and The Flying Pig).
Cheaper booze can be found on East Hastings Street, an alarmingly rundown part of town where it feels as though the chances of some sort of aggressive confrontation double with every block.
If it's possible to get tipsy on pocket change in this city, I'm in the right place.
First though, I drop into Treasure Island, a junk shop (in the absolute truest sense of the word) on the corner of Hastings and Carrall Street.
Treasure trove of tacky things.
David Clack/cnn
As the sign outside unabashedly proclaims, here you can pick up a pocketknife for a mere $4.99 (or upgrade to a hunting knife for $5 more), while inside the floor is jammed with everything from old VCRs to stacks of "mature" pornography.
Sensing that this isn't the sort of shop that welcomes casual browsers, I grab a can of cashews I find on a shelf next to an old motorcycle helmet full of mobile phone chargers.
They're priced at $1, which I knock down to 50 cents when I point out that they'd passed their best-before date around about the same time Obama took office.
With these I head to the scummiest looking bar I can find -- the Grand Union, just around the corner on Abbott street.
Not even this is cheap at $3.25 for a pint of weak lager.
The bar smells like chemicals and several of the regulars look like they'd quite like to turn me inside out.
Then, just as it looks like things can't get any worse, my phone lights up.
A couple of newlyweds I'd met in Las Vegas, and whom I'd been counting on for some free accommodation here in Vancouver, were now newly divorced and living under separate roofs in Toronto and Montreal.
Feeling incredibly alone, I find a hostel, unholster my credit card and spend three times my daily budget on a bed for the night.
Day 2
By late morning the next day I feel much better about my extravagant expenditure, courtesy of a good stroll through an excellent park, recommended by the hotel's receptionist.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.
David Clack/cnn
It means using up my freebie early in the day, but such is the beauty of Chinatown's Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden that it's no sacrifice at all.
Full access and a tour costs $14, but you can wander amid the ponds and blossom-laden trees at the back for nothing.
I spend an hour studying every corner, reassured that -- last night's blip aside -- I just might make it through the next two days on the $19 left in my pocket.
I leave full of confidence, bolstered by a huge sign on top of a neighboring building that shouts "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT."
And for a while, it is.
I escape the claustrophobic grid of downtown, spending $4 on a 40-minute northbound SeaBus and bus journey to Grouse Mountain (ample time to snaffle a pair of rock-hard croissants purloined from the hostel's breakfast buffet).
Spending nearly half my day's budget on travel hurts, but I'm convinced it's a smart strategy.
My next activity ought to keep me busy for a couple of hours at least, and cost next to nothing. But it will be extremely painful.
I do the "Grouse Grind" -- a 2.9-kilometer trail up the side of the massive mountain on the city's northern boundary.
For me it's a simple way to avoid the $40 cable car fee to the top, but this is something a lot of Vancouverites do for actual fun, tackling the 800-meter elevation in Lycra-clad droves.
An hour and a half is considered a decent time for the reasonably fit, but in my Converse trainers and black jeans, I regard my time of two hours, 15 minutes to be nothing short of heroic.
The view from the top is, of course, worth the searing pain in my calves.
However, I quickly realize that I've left myself in a tricky situation: not only am I almost a kilometer above sea level without the physical fitness to head back the way I'd come, but in a moment of thrifty genius, I'd left half my remaining cash at the hostel and couldn't afford the $10 cable car descent.
For the second time in the trip, I take out my credit card and pay my way out of trouble.
With half the trip still to come, I'm already 300% over budget and ready to throw in the towel.
On the bus back to town I spend a long time studying my guidebook's list of recommended steak restaurants in anticipation of a blowout.
Then, out of nowhere, I'm hit by the unmistakable waft of several types of meat sizzling on mobile grills.
There are more than 100 registered food trucks in Vancouver, and today, most of them seem to be here on Howe Street.
Despite the competition, their wares are pricey, but I chance upon a bargain as a gaggle of tourists on a street food tour waddle away from Big Dogs Burger Bus.
They're on sample-sized portions, and their odd numbers mean there's half a juicy, gorgeous-looking bison burger left over.
I ask the vendor -- a multi-tattooed vegan, believe it or not -- if I can buy it for $3.25 (half the price on his chalkboard) and he agrees.
It's not the medium-rare wagyu tenderloin I'd been daydreaming about 15 minutes earlier, but it's still a mighty fine few mouthfuls of meat.
When I've finished, I ask if he's got any tips for doing the city on the cheap.
"You could go to the Vancouver Art Gallery," he says, pointing at the building directly behind me. "It's free on Tuesday nights."
Amazing. I round the corner and charge up the steps to the entrance of the scholarly looking building, whereupon I plant my palm firmly on my forehead.
I'd already used today's freebie -- the Chinese garden -- and the rules of the challenge were clear.
I head through the doors, anyway. Maybe I can buy something from the gift shop.
Turns out, there's no need. The burger chef had got it wrong -- admission on Tuesday nights isn't free, it operates on a donation basis.
I sheepishly drop five cents into the box and spend the rest of the evening familiarizing myself with the vast majority of the gallery's 10,000-strong collection.
Day 3
Ignoring the accommodation and cable car slip-ups, I've so far spent $22.80, leaving me with $7.20 to survive my final 24 hours in Vancouver.
Kitsilano Beach.
Tourism BC
Public transport is now out of the question, so, anticipating plenty of walking, I make sure to swipe a couple of extra croissants at the breakfast buffet.
I kick things off with a walk from my downtown digs to Stanley Park.
At 404 hectares, the park is a good chunk bigger than New York's Central Park, with less of an artificially landscaped feel to it.
I see the famous totem poles at Brockton Point, stroll through gardens and forests and tour more monuments and memorials than you'd find in some major European cities.
It's not until I reach Beaver Lake, though, that I fully understand why Vancouverites are constantly banging on about this place.
Situated sufficiently deep into the park to escape even the faintest hum of city life, it must rank as one of the most calming urban environments on Earth, even when raccoons steal your croissants, which happened once I'd fallen asleep.
After shooing the would-be bandit away, I check my watch and realize I've been asleep for almost three hours.
I head back to the city taking a detour along English Bay beach and along the coast.
A 30-minute stroll leads me to Kitsilano Beach.
Were it not for the pastiness of the bodies sprawled across its sands, the beach's volleyball nets and shimmering heat mean it could easily be mistaken for a Californian coastline.
Unlike Malibu or Santa Monica, though, the seas are relatively free of swimmers, who instead head for the saltwater swimming pool at the beach's western end.
The $6 entry fee will leave me with just $1.20 for my final meal (which I'd have to enjoy without the luxury of underpants, given that I'd left my swimming shorts in London), but the romance of the moment is too much to resist.
I pay up, strip off and float across to the pool's far side, rest my arms on the pool's edge and admire a magnificent sunset.
But I can't remember a time that I've felt more hungry, and the past three days' diet of bad croissants, expired cashews and street food hasn't left me in the best of conditions.
I have two options: head to the nearest dollar store and trade my remaining money for as many calories as I can get, knowing I'd only failed my challenge a little bit, or break out the credit card, sample Vancouver's pricey side and add a little perspective to the past three days of wallet-watching.
In the end, it's an easy decision: if I'm going to fail, I may as well fail properly.
And so I find myself in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia -- one of two five-star hotels in the most expensive city in North America.
On-site restaurant Hawksworth has been called, by many, the best restaurant in Canada and I have a table for one.
As my main course of tandoori-grilled sturgeon floats into view (a dish whose price tag immediately eclipses the past three days' budget, and then some), I don't feel a single pang of guilt.
My challenge had, admittedly, been a churlish one, and though trying to do Vancouver on a budget had yielded some interesting results, the inescapable truth is that expensive places are best enjoyed with a willful ignorance of the economy.
All in all, I'd say I got my money's worth.

Looking for a boot camp to help your troubled teen near Sammammish, Washington?
Are you looking for a boot camp as the solution for your troubled teen? We have to admit that sometimes teens from Sammammish, Washington respond to a boot camp experience. The kids that do well at a boot camp are younger (preteens), and usually strong-willed and disrespectful. However, if your child has serious mental health issues (drug addiction, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADD or ADHD, Aspergers, learning disorders, etc) boot camps DO NOT WORK. The idea behind boot camps is the military style discipline (screaming, yelling, intense exercise, punishment and reward). With younger rebellious kids this setting might work, and again it might not. We do know that this approach does not work with kids with serious therapeutic issues. If you want professional coaching about your options near Sammammish, Washington, call and speak with our Family Advocates. We can help you find an affordable option to a boot camp.
Military-like boot camps in Sammammish, Washington can work with defiant or willfully rebellious child (as a wake up call), but they generally do not create long-lasting behavioral changes. With kids with therapeutic issues the boot camp experience can actually create long-term hostility and resentment toward parents and other authority (it can damage them). If your child is struggling with mental health problems related to behavior, emotions, and academics, they need a caring therapeutic setting, not a boot camp. We help parents discover affordable options that work. For help from our Family Advocates call 866-439-4818. Let us help you find the perfect solution near Sammammish, Washington for your teen's specific issues.
Boot Camps near Sammammish, Washington for Troubled Teens & Heart Change
Parents of troubled teenagers from Sammammish, Washington are looking for a "heart change" with their struggling child. The goal of the boot camp experience is to help young people understand the consequences of "choice" (personal accountability and self-driven submission to authority). Moreover, boot camps near Sammammish, Washington attempt to instill emotional intelligence, humility, discipline, submission to authority, and service toward others. Campers who complete boot camps realize that they are in control of their choices, and they need to take responsibility for their actions. Furthermore, campers learn that they can no longer act as "victims". Hopefully, boys and girls come to realize that they have led themselves into the situation they are in, good or bad. They either create success through multiple positive decisions over a period of time, or they create resistance, loss, and regret and are held accountable by authorities through a system of punishment (courts, parents, teachers, etc.).
How to bring about "heart change" through a boot camp experience
- Staff must have a true compassion to help teens
- Staff develop ongoing mentorship relationships after the boot camp
- Renewed focus on academics, athletics, employment
- Ongoing leadership development as a part of aftercare
- Connection with community service
- Restoration of a faith-based connection
Wisdom Quotes: Its not the events that shape my life that determine how I feel and act, but, rather, its the way I interpret and evaluate my life experiences. Tony Robbins
Anyone who thinks the sky is the limit, has limited imagination. Anonymous I studied the lives of great men and women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work. Harry S. Truman

Delaware is currently the number two producer of lima beans in the United States, second only to California and with the possibility of becoming number one in the future.
Because of this, it is imperative to study the many aspects of various diseases affecting the crop in Delaware and throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
Such work requires a collaborative effort and a team has been assembled thanks to a five-year, $1.5 million U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative grant.
The grant awarded to the University of Delaware includes researchers from UD, Delaware State University, the University of Maryland, Ohio State University, Cornell University and the University of California Davis (UC Davis) who will begin studying the various effects of plant disease on lima beans in the First State.
The many aspects of this grant will include studies that are being conducted for the first time in history.
There are six components to the grant, each with various researchers studying different parts of the problem. They are conducting research on downy mildew, pod blight, white mold, root knot nematodes and germplasm resources and developing an economic analysis.
Downy mildew
Downy mildew is a fungal-like disease of the lima bean caused by Phytophthora phaseoliand the goal of the research team is to improve disease forecasting and look at genetic diversity of the population of the pathogen. In this way, researchers will be able to inform farmers of their risk of occurrence of the disease and have a better understanding of the genetics of the pathogen.
Tom Evans and Nicole Donofrio, professors of plant pathology in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences in UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Nancy Gregory, plant diagnostician for UD, will work together on this part of the project.
Pod blight
Pod blight is caused by the pathogen known as P. capsici and Gordon Johnson, assistant professor of plant and soil sciences at UD, will work on this part of the study with Evans and Gregory.
Unlike downy mildew, which is a disease that generally affects only lima beans, P. capsicihas a very wide host range. Once it strikes a particular crop, it is very difficult to get rid of, with pathogen's spores lasting up to 10 years in the soil. Because of this, pod blight is an increasing problem for growers. The disease occurs in low-lying areas of fields and is more frequent in wet years. Therefore, this part of the project has three goals: to look for a fungicide to deal with the disease, to monitor the disease, and to look for alternative or organic non-pesticide driven strategies for control.
The study is also looking at risk management strategies, including information for growers in the state about the best time to spray for disease control and consideration of alternate control strategies.
Gregory, who diagnoses field samples collected by the research team and growers, maintains cultures of the pathogens and produces the inoculum for the studies, said that the researchers are eager to "learn more about the epidemiology and the spread of pod blight and downy mildew, that will enable us to do a little bit better job on forecasting."
She also noted how great is to have so many expert researchers involved, noting that she is looking forward to making significant progress on problems that have plagued the region for years. "To pull together a strong team of researchers like this and many new graduate students is really going to pull a lot of this research together and we'll really come up with some great results."
White mold
Kate Everts, an adjunct associate professor of plant and soil sciences at UD and a Cooperative Extension specialist with both UD and the University of Maryland, is leading research on alternative ways to control white mold, another disease that is very difficult to eliminate.
With an even broader host range than P. capsici, and an even longer life — persisting in soils for 20-30 years — finding out as much about the disease as possible, as well as possible ways to control it, is imperative.
Everts will look not just at lima beans but other crops, as well, as she tests biological control strategies and alternative control strategies for dealing with the white mold.

Eric Kramer - Medicine & Healthcare in Nepal
Over the first two days in Nepal, I visited a Nutritional Rehabilitation Center (NRH) for malnourished children in Patan. This was such a learning experience. Malnourishment is a huge problem in Nepal. NRH not only helps children get proper nourishment and gain weight to get back into proper form, but also teaches mothers how to properly feed their children. The children at these centres were really adorable and enjoyed our company. There was also a great view of the terrain and I met other volunteers: one from Nepal, one from Paris, one from Colorado and one from Italy.
Living in Kathmandu
The hotel, Hotel Excelsior, which I stayed at in Kathmandu, was very nice considering the conditions in Nepal. It had working wifi almost always, which made it easy to keep in touch at home. All of the staff members were also extremely nice. The food was also delicious. My favourite food that I had in Nepal is definitely momos (buff momos and chicken momos). They are basically dumplings but they are absolutely delicious. I must have had them almost every day.
I then spent a few more days in Kathmandu doing touristy things, visiting the magnificent Monkey Temple and a few other sites. The Monkey Temple was unlike anything I have ever seen before and I really enjoyed seeing the monkeys freely roaming around and the beautiful religious sites.
I also went on a 4-hour trek in a national park in Kathmandu. That was quite the challenge. I had never done anything as physically exhausting, but after taking many breaks I was able to make it to the top. I did suffer many leech bites but it was a wonderful experience and there was a spectacular view at the top.
Thamel is a nice area where you can get all of your shopping done. It does take a bit of getting used to walking through the streets because of the hectic lifestyle there. There are no paved roads, no traffic lights and drivers barely follow lane markings. People just drive everywhere chaotically, cars and bikes alike. It can be a bit scary at first but you get used to it.
Everything is so cheap compared to in America. There are shops to convert money everywhere along with tonnes of souvenir shops. All the shop owners are extremely friendly and willing to sit and talk. I got stuck in the rain at one point so the shop owner let me sit in the shop until the rain stopped. We talked about American movies for almost an hour. He was only 18 years old and he explained to me how only two Nepali children get chosen each year to go study in America. Many of the Nepali children want to go to America but they cannot afford it so the only way they can go is if they are chosen. I wished him luck.
Volunteering in Chitwan
I then went to Chitwan where the hospital medical placements were. The 5-hour bus ride from Kathmandu to Chitwan was very scenic. It was also quite scary because of the winding roads and high elevation. I spent a few days in Chitwan Medical College (CMC) where I spent some time in radiology, ECG and the operating theatre. The staff in the radiology department was extremely nice. One doctor showed me how to run an x-ray and explained the whole process behind it. The methodology there is definitely different from in America because of the technological disparity.
I absolutely loved the time I spent in OT because I got to watch several different surgeries including cancer removal and neurosurgeries. This was wonderful experience that I would never have the chance to do in America. It really reinforced my idea that I want to become a surgeon. Most of the doctors are extremely friendly and willing to explain procedures to you. Some nurses even made me tea and taught me some Nepali!
Observing in the operating theatre was definitely the best medical experience I have had in my lifetime. I saw the removal of a Brenner's tumour in the uterus and the doctor allowed us to take pictures of it. He even explained the procedure to us and cut open the tumour for us to see. He then invited us to see all future surgeries. In the cancer hospital, a doctor explained a neurosurgery to us as he was performing it! He showed us all the incisions they made and explained the process of skin grafting. It is fascinating to see a complicated procedure like a neurosurgery performed outside the United States because due to the lack of advanced technology, the surgery is much more invasive.
As for the Projects Abroad staff, they are mostly former volunteers so they know what it is like. They are very friendly and willing to help in any way possible. Also, it is advisable to bring everything on the recommended to bring list since you will probably need it.
