[ I should have already written this a bit earlier, but I had some trouble with my left knee and had to go through some surgery (which went well). ]
As in the previous years I have been invited to give a talk at the OneDayConference in Munich. This year it was in a new location in a suburb of Munich called Germering. Getting there was easy for me, as there is a S-Bahn stop almost in front of the conference location.
The new location featured more and larger rooms and especially an area to sit down between talks or during lunch time. As in the last years the conference featured three parallel tracks.
As I said before I like that conference as everything is like a big family event with the organizers and also the presenters which featured many JBoss Colleagues; while I wrote that Ray would be there, Andrew Rubinger replaced him. The only talk that I really attended was the Wildfly one from Harald Pehl, which was full house. In the remaining part of the conference I talked to various attendees and colleagues from Jan Wildeboer to Gavin King and Heiko Braun. Heiko gave me an introduction about his (and Harald's) work to generate UIs from descriptors (which they use in the Wildfly console), which looks very interesting and where I think we could use some of that inside of RHQ to create "wizards" for several types of target resources.
In my talk, which was in the last slot, I had around 30 attendees (which was around 1/3 of the attendees still present). To my surprise I found out that the large majority did not yet know or use RHQ, so I had to switch from my original agenda and gave a brief introduction into RHQ first. Next I talked about the recent changes in RHQ and tried to gather feedback for future use case, but that was of course harder with attendees not knowing too much about RHQ. So much for "know your audience".
How do others try to find out their audience when the only thing they know is "This conference is all about JBoss projects" ?

Like clockwork, as the days grow progressively longer and warmer, grills emerge from hibernation at just about any opportunity, eager as their owners to host all of the newly sprung vegetables, plus plenty of old favorites. Summer holidays practically require the presence of a grill, and with Memorial Day just around the corner, it seems like high time to dust that old furnace off. Tossing on veggie burgers and not-dogs, toasting up simple white bread buns to golden-brown perfection, it's the start of a perfectly "American" meal. But what to serve alongside those main dishes? Perhaps a side of fries or chips, maybe potato salad- Just as long as the lovable spud makes an appearance.
Here's where my menu takes a somewhat different turn. Potato salad sounds great in concept, but mayonnaise, dairy-based or otherwise, is simply not welcome in this household. Serve something containing even a half ounce of that white glop, and you may very well have an all out revolt on your hands. Thus, eschewing this vile condiment in favor of a lighter dressing, I tend to favor olive oil, lemon juice, and whatever fresh herbs happen to be on hand. This time though, it felt necessary to start the season off with a bang and spice things up a bit.
Essentially glorified samosa filling freed of its pastry, this starchy side is just the thing to liven up any backyard BBQ spread. Delicious served both warm or chilled, it can easily be made a day ahead of time to give you one less thing to worry about later.
Don't wait until you have a party to make it though- Any number of savory mains would pair beautifully with these spicy potatoes, and you can keep it for up to a week in the fridge.
Samosa Potato Salad
2 Pounds White New Potatoes
1 Bay Leaf
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
2 – 3 Large Shallots, Chopped (About 1 Cup)
4 Cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
1 Inch Fresh Ginger, Peeled and Grated
2 Teaspoons Garam Masala
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 1/2 Cups Frozen Peas
Salt and Pepper
Fresh Chives (Optional)
Wash the potatoes thoroughly before chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large pot, and fill it with cold water so that all of the pieces are covered. Move the pot onto the stove, toss in the bay leaf, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Once boiling, cook with the lid off for 5 – 8 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Discard the bay leaf, drain, and let cool.
Mean while, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and add in the shallots. Cook for about 3 minutes until somewhat translucent, and add in the garlic and ginger. After another minute or two has passed, incorporate all of the spices and lemon juice. Add in the the peas, and continue to stir the mixture for 5 minutes or so, until the peas have completely thawed.
Toss the potatoes and dressing together in a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, and top with freshly chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately if you want it warm, or let cool and chill thoroughly in an air-tight container.
Serves 6 – 8 as a side dish

GOOPy Q&A
This week's GOOP newsletter is a Q&A. Unfortunately she doesn't answer any of the best questions we send her. Like: did you and Jennifer Aniston hold hands and cut down Angelina Jolie the entire time you were in Morocco? Or... Give us some examples of how you made Scarlett Johansson feel inferior on the set of Iron Man 2.
Instead, as you would expect, it's all about food and yoga. And make-up.
Interestingly enough however she does include a little bit about Dr Fredric Brandt who calls himself a cosmetic dermatologist. Madonna has been seen going in and out of Dr Brandt's office building. Have you seen Dr Brandt? Click here if not. YOU MUST. It's amazing. Or below:
Gwyneth also lists her favourite beauty products, and claims not to accept advertising dollars. Click here for the new GOOP.
Here's my G yesterday in the Hamptons yesterday at the Balenciaga store for an evening of shopping to benefit Baby Buggy, "a non-profit organization dedicated to providing New York City's families in need with essential equipment, clothing, and products for their infants and young children". Of course while there she was tight with Jessica Seinfeld. They puree together. And practise bitchfaces. You do remember her bitchface, right?
Note that G and J are wearing the same shoes in different colours. It's ok when you're famous I guess.
G has been summering in the Hamptons. Naturally. She showed off her bikini body with the kids on the beach last week. Click here to see. That's two hours a day, every day.

Fanboys and girls, get excited: Marvel is bringing at least one never-before-seen on the big screen mutant to life in the latest movie in the "X-Men" franchise.
According to Variety, Banshee, an Irish mutant whose power is his sonic scream, will be portrayed by Caleb Landry Jones in the flick, scheduled to hit theaters on June 3, 2011.
The idea for the new installment was conceived by Bryan Singer, who helmed the first film in the series. Matthew Vaughn, director of "Kick Ass" and "Layer Cake," will direct this time around. The movie tells the story of the first pupils identified for training by Professor Charles Xavier at his school for gifted students, i.e. mutants.
James McAvoy of "Wanted" fame is slated to play Professor X and Michael Fassbender, recently seen in "Inglourious Basterds" and "Jonah Hex," will play Erik Lensherr, the man who eventually becomes the super villain Magneto.
Additionally, a new Beast was cast as well.Nicholas Hoult will play a young Hank McCoy, a brilliant scientist who eventually, through a series of transformations, ends up furry and blue. The Beast was portrayed by Kelsey Grammer in "X-Men: The Last Stand."
Hoult appeared in Tom Ford's "A Single Man" and is set to appear in the new "Mad Max" films.

Web experience foundation.
Building a better web experience.
Creating a personalized presence.
You know that having a dynamic digital presence is a great way to make a first impression, but navigating the complexities of programming and maintaining a dynamic web presence feels insurmountable. The problem is that every digital property seems to need a different tool, and asking the IT department to handle the coding means that you lose speed, agility, and control. You've probably said things like:
"My updates are out of date by the time they go live."
You know your customers want information tailored to their needs, but by the time you can get performance data and analyze it, you've missed time-sensitive opportunities.
"I don't like going through IT for every tiny change. They don't like it either."
Web programming is so complex that it's hard to fix a typo without destroying the surrounding formatting. And that's before you consider the implications of mobile.
"Our digital experience feels disjointed — it's all over the place."
You don't have a good foundation for managing your digital experience, so your brand messaging feels disconnected and inconsistent, which is confusing your customers.
Five warning signs of a hollow web experience foundation.
Depending on IT to make updates to campaigns or content.
Not integrating social, mobile, or email into your web strategy.
Delivering inconsistent experiences across different channels.
No tracking of customer data or using it for personalization.
Developing static content in a one-size-fits-none style.
Getting personalization right is a challenge.
Roughly 90% of senior marketers worldwide are implementing personalization strategies…
…but only 6% rate their strategy as advanced."
2017 Personalization Development Study, Monetate, February 15, 2017.
The solution
Control content with a sure foundation.
Fragmented web foundation vs. web experience foundation.
A fragmented web foundation is a confusing array of tools that might perform specific functions well, but don't help you manage and personalize experiences for specific customers. And it's difficult to make updates to web pages or personalize content, which leaves you defaulting to static pages with generic information.
A web experience foundation puts you in control of your content and integrates audience information, digital assets, and analytics to help you deliver a dynamic and personalized experience every time your customers visit. You can update content from a single centralized platform and keep the experience consistent across channels.
Web experience foundation = The technology that gives you control of your own content, so you can make updates, manage assets, measure performance, and deliver personalized experiences — all from one centralized platform.
With a solid web experience foundation, you can:
the content you need with straightforward, easy-to-use tools.
the experiences your customers crave, regardless of device.
the experiences your customers crave, regardless of device.
content to customize journeys based on customer preferences.
all your content on a single platform that's accessible anywhere.
every customer experience to boost loyalty and conversion.
Mission control for your customer experiences.
Learn how a web experience foundation can direct experiences and expand with your needs in The New Content Frontier.

Difference between revisions of "Brighton (England)"
Revision as of 11:27, 28 August 2012
Brighton [8] is a famous seaside resort and charming city (on the south coast of England, in the county of East Sussex and almost immediately due south of the capital city London (76 km/47 mi). In 2000, the two neighbouring communities of Brighton and Hove joined together to form the unitary authority of the City of Brighton and Hove. Known for its oriental architecture and large gay community.
Brighton was a sleepy little fishing village, then known as Brighthelmstone, until Dr Richard Russell of Lewes began to prescribe the use of seawater for his patients. He advocated the drinking of seawater and sea-bathing in 1750. In 1753 he erected a large house near the beach for himself and for his patients. A further factor in Brighton's growth came in the early 19th Century when the Prince of Wales built the Royal Pavilion, an extravagant Regency building designed by John Nash. But it was only with the development of the railways, around 1840, that Brighton truly started to boom.
The city is convenient to London, and increasingly popular with media and music types who don't want to live in the capital. It is sometimes called "London-by-the-Sea" for this reason. Brighton is typically referred to as the gay capital of Britain. There is a significant gay district in Kemp Town which adds to the Bohemian atmosphere of the city.
It is home to two universities, the University of Sussex (situated on the edge of the city at Falmer) [9] and the University of Brighton [10].
Get in
By train
Wikitravel has a guide to Rail travel in the United Kingdom.
Trains to Brighton run from Victoria and London Bridge stations in London, taking about an hour (faster for the Brighton Express services from Victoria, although expect to add another 20 minutes if travelling during peak commuting times). Trains also run along the coast from Hastings and Lewes in the east, and Portsmouth and Chichester in the west. Brighton is on a direct line to Gatwick and Luton airports (Gatwick is much closer, being to the south of London).
Southern tickets to London and some other destinations can be purchased from as little as £3 (£2 with rail cards) one way, if purchased online from their website. The tickets can then be collected from the automated machines at your departure station.
By car
Brighton is a congested city, and not easy to drive or park in. The principal route from London and Gatwick Airport is the A23. The A27 runs along the coast, and is dual carriageway from the M27 at Portsmouth in the west to Lewes in the east. There are several car parks in central Brighton - expect to pay about £1.50 per hour, even on Sundays. Alternatively, parking is available at Worthing or Lewes stations, about 20 minutes by train from the city centre. Another alternative is to use the city's Park and Ride service, information can be found at The National Park and Ride Directory [13].
There are particular days in the year when it is very inadvisable to drive into Brighton:
By bus
National Express [16] provide coach services to London (coach tends to be slow and takes around 2 hours) and various other cities from Pool Valley coach station, between Old Steine and the seafront.
Stagecoach bus services run to Brighton from Portsmouth, via Worthing, on service 700. It costs £6.30 for one day's unlimited travel on this route. See Stagecoach [17] for times.
Brighton and Hove Buses bus services run to Brighton from Eastbourne in the east and Tunbridge Wells in the north. Travel on Brighton & Hove Buses cost £2 per journey or £4 a day for Travel within Brighton (Southwick - Newhaven - Lewes - this is called a CitySaver). There is also a SuperSaver ticket for travel within Southwick to Eastbourne, for £5 a day. There are many discount fares ("CentreFares", online tickets) and tickets which cost more (Nightbuses - ranging from £2 for N7 and N25 to £5 for the N69). Children only receive a discount with a BusID. See Brighton and Hove Bus Company [18] for details.
By plane
The city's proximity to London means Brighton is well served by airports. Brighton can be reached from Gatwick by train in as little as 25 minutes. Shoreham's airport (also known as Brighton City Airport) is located 5 miles to the west of Brighton. It is the nearest airport for light aircraft and also offers sightseeing flights. It is the oldest licensed airport in the UK.
Get around
By bike
Although the area is hilly. cycling is a growing form of transport in Brighton. The city is one of Cycling England's [19] "Cycling Demonstration Towns". More details on cycling, including a map of routes, can be found at the cycling section of the city council's website [20].
By bus
There is an extensive bus network in Brighton and Hove. In the city centre, services are very frequent and many stops have 'real-time' bus information. The majority of buses are run by one company, Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company [21], The service isn't cheap with a flat fare of £2 for single journeys or £4 for an all day ticket (CitySaver). Children travel at half price, though there is no child saver ticket (or 20p with a free Bus ID card when accompanied by an adult) and pensioners with an East Sussex County Card travel for free after 9AM. All day tickets can be bought on the bus, or in advance on the company website. If travelling by train, you can add a "plus bus" option on your ticket for £2, which gives a day's travel around the city.
Many places around the city (particularly between the City Centre and the Universities) are now also served by a bus company called "The Big Lemon". [22] These buses are bright yellow and the stops that they operate from are indicated by sign posts that have a logo of a lemon on wheels and a bus schedule. These buses do not operate on Saturday or Sunday but are relatively cheap in comparison, costing just £1.50 for a single and £2 for an all day pass. Additionally, they run entirely on waste cooking oil and invest profits locally. They will stop at any stop along the buses route at request. Please be aware that as these buses mainly serve Brighton's many University students, they do not operate during the summer when university is not in session (Late June to Mid-September) and operate in limited service (once an hour) during School Holidays (Mid December to early January and late march to early April). Still, these buses make a cheap alternative for the more experienced Brighton traveler.
On a small number of days a year, buses are disrupted by parades etc. - the same days as in the "By car" section above.
Many of Brighton & Hove Bus's vehicles are named after celebrities (some living, some deceased) and individuals who have made a contribution to Brighton & Hove city life in some significant manner.
By train
Brighton Station is one of the most important rail terminals in the South East and from here the city of Brighton has a small suburban rail network with trains serving areas of Hove, Preston Park and also to the main campuses of the universities (Moulsecoomb, Falmer) which run around every 15 minutes and take about 10 minutes. Trains also run along the coast to Ashford in the east (connecting to cross-channel services) and Portsmouth in the west. Brighton has excellent rail connections to London with the capital in reach under an hour.
Note that Southern and First Capital Connect services do not carry bicycles during peak hours (7AM-10AM and 4PM-7PM).
By taxi
There are vast numbers of taxis in Brighton. They are however more expensive than most other towns and cities in England. It is worth noting that on Friday and Saturday after midnight, the hire charge for a taxi is £4.10 before the journey starts.
The main taxi ranks are at Brighton train station and at East Street (near the Lanes). (Smaller ranks dotted around include: Queen Square (opposite Churchill Square), the north side of St. Peter's Church and the bottom of Montpelier Road.)
Brightonians often give directions relative to a prominent landmark, the Clocktower, which stands due south of the rail station at the bottom of Queen's Road and the top of West Street. Western Road, a major shopping street runs East-West through the intersection. If you turn right walking down, and walk half-way down Western Rd., the Lanes will be in the side streets on your left, and the North Laine area off on the right. If you continue to the eastern end of Western Rd,, the Royal Pavilion gardens are off to your left. Western Road opens into an open area, the Old Steine, with Palace Pier on the seafront to your right and St James' St., the route into Kemptown, starts ahead of you across the Steine. St Peter's, Brighton's parish church, is north of the Steine gardens, and beyond that is a sparsely planted park known as The Level.
Shopping is one of the main reasons to visit Brighton. But don't get stuck in the mainstream shopping area around Western Road. There are a huge array of shops catering for all tastes but the impressive assortment of independent shops and boutiques is something that differentiates Brighton from many other British cities. The atmosphere in the North Laine and in The Lanes is one of the intangible aspects of the city that leaves many wanting to return time and time again. Brighton is especially good for Music, Books and independent clothes shops.
Brighton has excellent food, especially for vegetarians. The most famous vegetarian restaurant (and, after a recent buy out, now fairly expensive) is Food for Friends [36] situated in The Lanes. On the other end of the scale, there are many takeaways in Brighton catering for different kinds of tastes (pizza, Chinese, Mexican, Indian food). Prices are usually fairly cheap and most are open until late.
There are many, many pubs and bars catering for all tastes. Any list of reasonable length will be far from complete; if there's a street in central Brighton there is likely to be a pub on it.

The Hanover area of Brighton (north-east of the centre, walk north from St. James, or cross the Level from the bottom of Trafalgar St.) has numerous excellent pubs in close proximity (hence its nickname: "Hangover") to each other and is well worth the 15 minute walk from the city centre. The stand-out is the Greys at the bottom (mercifully) of Southover street. Brighton's best known pub crawl takes place in this area — up Southover St and down Islingword Rd (or vice-versa) — but do note that the hill is very steep! The atmosphere is more relaxed than the centre and the historic Victorian terraced streets with their brightly coloured houses are are also notable. In Southover Street and you will find the Geese, Greys, Dover Castle, Sir Charles Napier and Pub With No Name, all of which are worth a visit. Islingword Road runs parallel to Southover Street and there you will find the Constant Service, Horse & Groom, London Unity and Cornerstone. There is also a small but good beer festival once a year in Hanover.
Northern Brighton
Well off the tourist trail, Brighton's relatively gritty northern sprawl is home to a number of boozers, some rough, others diamonds.

Stay safe
Although Brighton is generally a safe place, like every other big city it has its share of problems. Visitors should be advised that the city centre can get quite rowdy at weekends, and West Street is best avoided after midnight. The sheer volume of people on weekends combined with alcohol consumption make Friday and Saturday nights on this street potentially volatile. However, it is still perfectly possible to have a civilised Friday or Saturday night at one of the venues favoured by locals and sensible tourists. Brighton attracts quite a large number of homeless people, although most of these individuals are harmless. They will likely only ask you for money and, if you refuse, will simply go on to the next person. Junkies often gather around London Road and the Level, although these places are perfectly safe before dark. Some areas on the outskirts, such as Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb have a bad reputation, but most tourists would have little reason to visit them anyway.
There are plenty of internet cafes around, prices are usually about £1/hour.
Free Wi-Fi is reasonably common in Brighton. Loose connection provides free Wi-Fi in a number of pubs around Brighton [81]. Pier to pier is a collective that provides free Wi-Fi along the beachfront [82]. The City of Brighton provides a list of free hotspots on their website [83].

I am a military wife. A member of that sisterhood of women who have had the courage to watch their men go into battle, and the strength to survive until their return. Our sorority knows no rank, for we earn our membership with a marriage license, traveling over miles, or over nations to begin a new life with our military husbands.
Within days, we turn a barren, echoing building into a home, and though our quarters are inevitably white-walled and un-papered, we decorate with the treasures of our travels, for we shop the markets of the globe. Using hammer and nail, we tack our pictures to the wall, and our roots to the floor as firmly as if we had lived there for a lifetime.
We hold a family together by the bootstraps, and raise the best of "brats" instilling in them the motto, "Home is togetherness", whether motels, or guest house, apartment or duplex.
As military wives we soon realize that the only good in Good-bye is the Hello again, for as 'Salesmen for Freedom', our husbands are often on the road, at sea, or in the sky, leaving us behind for a week, a month, a year on an assignment. During separations we guard the home front, existing until the homecoming.
Unlike our civilian counterparts, we measure time, not by years, but by tours married at Pendleton, a baby born at Lejune, a special anniversary at Yuma, a promotion in Okinawa. We plant trees, and never see them grow tall, work on projects completed long after our departure, and enhance our community for the betterment of those who come after us. We leave a part of ourselves at every stop.
Through experience, we have learned to pack a suitcase, a car or hold baggage, and live indefinitely from the contents within and though our fingers are sore from the patches we have sewn , and the silver we have shined, our hands are always ready to help those around us.
Women of peace, we pray for a world in harmony, for the flag that leads our men into battle, will also blanket them in death.
Yet we are an optimistic group, thinking of good, and forgetting the bad, cherishing yesterday, while anticipating tomorrow. Never rich by monetary standards, our hearts are overflowing with a wealth of experiences common only to those united by the special tradition of military life. We pass on this legacy to every military bride, welcoming her with outstretched arms, with love and friendship, from one sister to another, sharing in the bounty of our unique, fulfilling military way of life.

Dennis Raefield, CEO and President of Mace, stated, "I am excited about the future of Mace. We are on track with our growth strategy. Even though our 2009 first quarter sales were soft due to the continuing global economic crisis, we have achieved our cost-cutting goals and have reduced Mace's quarter over quarter losses by improving our gross margin and reducing the Company's overhead.
"We have also improved our Security Division's sales department, product offerings and customer service. We have completed a significant step in our security-oriented growth strategy by acquiring a first class wholesale central monitoring station, which is the platform to build our next generation of services. We plan to roll out new services during both the second and third quarters of 2009. I hope to see continued improvement as we start to see growth rebound in the security sector. I am also pleased to announce that we continue to make progress in selling our remaining car washes, and we are very pleased with the direction of our Digital Media Marketing segment," Mr. Raefield concluded.
Total revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $8.6 million, as compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in overall revenues during the first quarter of 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from Mace's Digital Media Marketing segment because of management's decision to discontinue the marketing efforts of its online marketing division, PromoPath, in June 2008. There was also a reduction in sales in Mace's Security and Car Wash segments.
Loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2009 was approximately ($1.7) million, or ($0.10) per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of ($2.2) million, or ($0.13) per share, for the first quarter of 2008. The reduction in loss from continuing operations was partially due to a reduction in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses from $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $3.7 million in the same period in 2009, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million, or 26%. The SG&A expense savings were realized from a reduction in costs with the consolidation of our security division's Ft. Lauderdale, Florida surveillance equipment warehouse operations into our Farmers Branch, Texas facility, with an expense reduction of approximately $140,000, as well as overhead reductions within our Digital Media Marketing segment. SG&A expenses of our Digital Media Marketing segment decreased from $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $708,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. In addition to these cost savings measures, we also noted a reduction in non-cash compensation expense from continuing operations from approximately $253,600 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $50,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
The Company's net book value was $41.6 million, or $2.55 per share, at March 31, 2009. In addition, Mace had $53.1 million in total assets, including $8.5 million of cash and short-term investments, at March 31, 2009.
Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2009 Results
FAIR LAWN, N.J., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:HBE) , a turnkey provider of technology-based integrated electronic security solutions, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
The Company reported revenue of $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2009, representing a 3.8% decrease over revenue of $15.9 million for the same period a year ago. The slight decrease in revenue in the recent first quarter is primarily due the winding down of work completed on contracts for several large public agencies in the New York Metropolitan area, as well as a decline in revenue from the Company's Arizona and California operations. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in revenue from the Company's Colorado and Virginia operations and revenue recorded under the Tactical Video Capture System ("TVCS") contract with L-3 Communications.
The Company reported net income of $166,122 or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to net income of $283,957, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2008. The Company's decrease in net income is principally the result of higher personnel related costs as part of a strategic growth initiative to increase the sales force by 62%. This initiative was implemented in order to take advantage of an anticipated increase in security spending related to public projects and the expansion of the Company's footprint into Houston, Texas and Grand Junction, Colorado.
The Company's backlog as of March 31, 2009 was $20,133,794, compared to $22,404,437 at March 31, 2008. The aforementioned work completed on several large public agency jobs in the New Jersey / New York area during the year ended December 31, 2008 is the primary factor in the decline in the backlog, partially offset by the L-3 Contract bookings.
Jim Henry, CEO of Henry Bros. Electronics, commented, "While the revenue and net income that we generated during the first quarter was down slightly from last year's comparable period, bookings were in line with the prior year's quarter of $11.7 million and the proposal dollar volume doubled in the first quarter of 2009 versus the prior year. In addition, we have undertaken several reinvestment initiatives in the last several months including the expansion of our geographic footprint, an increase in sales staff, and the introduction of new products and services. Our management team and Board take pride in our ability to effectively anticipate and react accordingly to changes. This was true before the current recession when we curtailed spending and increased system efficiencies, and is true now as we increase staff to prepare for the anticipated project growth in our industry."
Henry continued, "As the new administration prepares to increase spending in areas in which our company has cultivated a strong operational expertise, we have worked to ensure that we have the right regional teams in place to effectively compete for these large infrastructure projects. This increased push to capture a significant number of these jobs is against the backdrop of the very successful management of our TVCS project, which began in October 2008. We strongly believe that our continuing work with several large municipalities and government organizations, coupled with our strong performance with the TVCS project, puts us in a very good position to increase our capture rate of projects related to the integrated security needs of the government as they look to improve our nation's infrastructure. For these reasons we are reiterating our guidance for a 6% operating margin on consolidated revenue of $80 million in 2009".
Optelecom-NKF Reports First Quarter 2009 Results
GERMANTOWN, Md., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Optelecom-NKF, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPTC) , a leading global provider of Siqura(R) advanced IP-video network solutions, today announced first quarter 2009 results.
Revenues for the first quarter totaled $8.6 million, compared to $10.5 million for the same quarter of 2008. Video over IP-related revenue climbed 10% in the first quarter to $2.9 million, compared to last year's $2.6 million.
The Company reported a net loss of $765 thousand, or $(0.21) per share, in the quarter ending March 31, 2009. This compares to net income of $148 thousand, or $0.04 per share, one year earlier.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter (as defined in the addendum to this release) was a loss of $551 thousand compared to profit of $976 thousand for the same quarter last year.
"The sharp contraction in the global economy was the dominant force affecting our first quarter performance along with a reduction in reported revenue from foreign exchange translation rates," said Ed Ludwig, Optelecom-NKF's Chairman and CEO. "Orders slowed this winter as customers delayed projects in the face of budgetary concerns. As we look for signs of a bottom in the economic contraction and we actively contain costs, I view our long-term business prospects with measured optimism based on feedback from current customers and visits we've had with prospective customers."

A forum about Atari 16/32 computers and their clones. This forum is in no way affiliated with Atari Interactive.
Moderators: Mug UK, Adrenalin, Moderator Team
Driver8 wrote:I've been trying to get my CBX going this week too! I didn't have any success with my Mega 4 and two different SCSI adaptors but picked up a TT last week and finally got it going! I'm guessing it's down to the SCSI implementation, the Steinberg SCSI adapter should do the trick. As far as I'm aware the key is to have two hard drives. Cubase should be on your main hard drive with SCSI ID 0, then there should be a separate hard drive with SCSI ID 1 (for recording audio to), then the CBX itself should be on ID 5 or 6 with a terminator on one of the SCSI ports (I'm using an active one). If you've got the SHDI programme then add this to your AUTO folder on the hard drive you boot from, it appears to be Steinberg's own SCSI driver. When you boot up SHDI should kick in and list both hard drives and the CBX, then it's just a matter of firing up Cubase CBX and you can configure the CBX's settings in the Audio menu.
Driver8 wrote:I used the ICD drivers to format the drives and put SHDI.PRG in the AUTO folder on the drive/partition I boot from (usually C drive). When my Atari boots up from C drive it runs the ICD drivers and lists only the hard drives (and their partitions) on the screen, not the CBX. Then SHDI.PRG runs and shows details of the hard drives/partitions AND the CBX. Then when it's finished booting I just run Cubase and it finds the CBX. The important thing (as far as I know) is to get SHDI.PRG to recognise the CBX.
You should have the CBX set to SCSI ID 5 or 6 and the hard drive should be ID 0. Make sure the CBX is last in the SCSI chain and that there's a terminator in the free SCSI port of the CBX. I've never seen the Steinberg DMA-SCSI adaptor. Does it have any switches/buttons?
Driver8 wrote:I should have a chance to take a look tonight. I'm pretty sure Cubase tells you the firmware number when you bring up the CBX settings screen. If not then I'll open it up and have a look for you, if you've got the means to copy my ROMs then I've no problem loaning them to you, it'd be useful to have images of them them available somewhere.
Driver8 wrote:@INSPECTOR77
Hmmmm.... That's frustrating that you can get the Atari to recognise and format the drives but SHDI doesn't see them at all. Sorry for asking the obvious question but do you have the power supply for the DMA-SCSI adapter? I still think it may just be a matter of setting the jumpers/switches but without a manual there's no real way of knowing what they do...

With two games left in the regular season, we can establish this about the San Diego State basketball team: It struggles on the road in the Mountain West.
We also can establish this: Everyone else does, too.
The trick becomes deciphering how much of the Aztecs' sudden road woes is them and how much is a conference ranked No. 1 nationally in RPI. Coach Steve Fisher gave his players Thursday off after flying home from Albuquerque on Thursday morning, but he had his staff return to campus to sift through the rubble of their latest road implosion.
The Aztecs (20-8, 8-6) have now lost four straight road games after trailing No. 14 New Mexico by 15 points in the second half Wednesday and ultimately succumbing 70-60. They are 2-5 on the road in the Mountain West and assured of their first losing road record in conference play in five years, no matter what happens in the regular-season finale at Boise State.
Three of the road losses were one-possession games inside a minute to go: 70-67 at Air Force, 66-60 at Colorado State, 72-70 at UNLV. Two were not: 58-45 at Wyoming and Wednesday at New Mexico.
"Everything that goes into a road trip – from the travel to the hotel to the most significant thing, the crowd and the opposing team in their building – makes it harder," Fisher said Thursday. "What we need to do on the road is put ourselves in a position to win, and we weren't last night.
"We had three games that we lost that we could have won. But road wins are few and far between in this league."
The cold, hard numbers: The top six in Mountain West are a combined 82-7 at home this season, including 36-4 in conference play. And only New Mexico, at 4-2, currently has a winning road record; the other eight teams do not.
It's not just the Mountain West. Half of the Associated Press Top 12 lost on the road this week, five to unranked opponents.
Another issue, it appears, is altitude despite success in recent years. The Aztecs are 0-4 this season above 5,000 feet, losing at Wyoming (7,222), Air Force (7,081), Colorado State (5,025) and New Mexico (5,108).
Their other four losses were on a windy aircraft carrier to Syracuse, on a spectacular last-second block by Arizona's Nick Johnson in Hawaii, and a pair of games to UNLV that were both one-possession games inside a minute to go.
But the Aztecs aren't innocent victims of some cruel road hex. They play at an identical tempo – an average of 66 possessions – home or away in conference games, just aren't equally efficient with them.
They shoot five fewer free throws per game on the road, while their opponents shoot five more than at Viejas Arena. Their conference field-goal shooting percentage is .476 at home and .411 on the road, which translates to four fewer made baskets per game.
The most striking difference is junior Jamaal Franklin when he ventures beyond the 3-point arc. He is making 42.3 percent of his 3s at Viejas Arena in conference games … and just 15.8 percent (6 of 39) on the road.
The bad news is the Aztecs have only one road game left to figure it out.
The good news is the Aztecs have only one road game left. After that they move to a neutral court for the conference tournament in Las Vegas unless, of course, they meet UNLV at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The way things are looking, that would mean SDSU is in the final. UNLV (21-7, 8-5) is headed for the No. 2 or 3 seed in the conference tournament, and the Aztecs appeared locked into 4 or 5, putting them on opposite sides of the bracket.
Even if SDSU finishes tied with UNLV for third place, the Rebels hold the tiebreaker based on winning the season series.
"I'm looking one day at a time," Fisher said when asked about his team's seeding prospects. "Take a deep breath, four hard days getting ready for Air Force, that's all we're looking at right now."

SANFORD, Fla. -- The Brandeis baseball team dropped a pair of games at the University Athletic Association tournament today, falling to Rochester in their closest game of tournament, 6-5, and Emory, 11-7. With the losses, the Judges are 4-7 overall, 0-4 in the UAA.
In the opener against Rochester (1-3, 1-3 UAA), Brandeis got off to a hot start, scoring four runs in the top of the first inning, more than they had scored in their first two UAA games combined. The big blow of the frame was a two-run single from rookie DH Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield), while senior catcher Kenny Destremps (Mashpee, Mass./Mashpee) and sophomore 3B Brian Ing (Sandwich, Mass./Sandwich) also had RBI in the frame.
Unfortunately, those were the last runs for the Judges until the ninth inning. In the interim, Rochester strung together three-straight two-run innings against junior starter Dylan Britton (Poughquag, N.Y./Arlington). The Yellowjackets got on the board in the third thanks to an errant pick-off attempt at second base and an RBI single by catcher Steve Pokallov. In the fourth, a sacrifice fly by 3B Chris Davis and a single by SS Tim Leseur tied the game at 4-4.
In the fifth inning, UR had a runner on second with two outs when Britton issued a walk to 1B Brian Bezek. Rookie reliever Brent Edmunds (No. Hampton, N.H./Winnacunnet) allowed a tie-breaking double to CF Alex Caghan and thn uncorked a wild pitch that gave Rochester a key insurance run.
The Judges had a chance to cut into the Rochester lead in the top of the sixth, when rookie LF Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter-Marian) singled and Ing doubled with one out. Rochester starter Jeremy Diller got out of trouble with a strikeout and fly to center. In the seventh and eighth, the Judges had two base-runners each, but a double play in the seventh and a groundout in the eighth stifled the rallies. They added an unearned run in the ninth thanks to an error on an infield groundout by grad student 1B Pat Nicholson (Walpole, Mass./Walpole), but it wasn't enough.
Brenner, Destremps, Ing and junior CF Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) each had two hits for the Judges. Britton suffered the loss in his first decision of the season, allowing seven hits and seven walks with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings of work.
In their second game of the day, a rematch with Emory, Brandeis erased a 5-0 lead with another big inning, plating six runs in the fifth, but the Eagles answered with five in the top of the seventh to walk away with the 11-7 win.
Emory, which was boosted by the bottom of its line-up that saw 8 and 9 hitters Josh Bokor and Mark Lindemann go 4-for-6 with four RBI and four runs scored, saw three of their first five runs cross the plate unearned to take a large lead.
The Judges responded in the fifth, when Gad singled to center to lead off the inning. After Brenner was hit by a pitch and Ing coaxed a walk from Emory starter Matt McMahon, that brought up senior RF Zack Malis (Merrick, N.Y./Bellmore JFK). Malis clobbered his first home run of the season over the left field fence to cut the deficit to 5-4. The blast was the third of Malis's career and his first grand slam.
Brandeis wasn't done, however, as rookie 3B Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) singled to chase McMahon from the game. After senior 2B Sean O'Hare (Southampton, Mass./Hampshire Regional) greeted reliever Michael Byman with a single, Ferro tied the game with a sacrifice fly and Nicholson put the Judges ahead with a double to right-center field.
The Judges avoided trouble in the sixth inning when junior Jesse Link (Weston, Conn./Weston) worked around a pair of walks, but they weren't as lucky in the seventh, when the Eagles sent nine men to the plate and scored five runs to reclaim a 10-5 lead. Bokor had the go-ahead RBI on a single off senior Alex Tynan (Barnegat, N.J./Barnegat). The teams traded runs, as Brenner had an RBI groundout in the bottom of the eighth, while EU scored on a double play in the top of the ninth to make the 11-7 final.
Gad, McCarthy, Nichols and O'Hare all had multiple hits for the Judges. Malis's grand slam made him the only multi-RBI performer for the Judges. Link suffered the loss, giving up two hits, three walks and two earned runs in 2.1 innings to fall to 0-1 on the campaign.

The Most Expensive Pizza I've Ever Eaten
"If you don't try this when you visit the market, you fail." —Robyn Lee
Before heading to Honolulu's KCC Farmer's Market I consulted The Girl Who Ate Everything (aka AHT editor Robyn Lee) on the ins and outs of the market. The quote at the top of the post pretty much sums up her feelings on the North Shore Farm's Pesto Pizza.
The lady behind this pizza, Jeanne Vana, is known for her Big Wave tomatoes and bunches of basil that she sells alongside the slices. And of course those ingredients top her pies as well. There is only one kind of pizza ever, and that is this pesto, tomato, and basil variety which goes for $6.50 a pop. With 8 slices to a pie that makes this a $52 pizza! Whoa. I just did the math. That's a lot! This could very well be the world's most expensive "normal" pizza. It's certainly the most expensive pizza I've ever eaten.
Price aside, I was skeptical of these slices on the front end of ordering. I expected some manner of giant grill rig that would have pies launching to and from it's fiery face. Instead they use this set up...
Even though this wasn't what I was expecting, their hacked grill did a surprisingly good job. The portable propane grills they use (available at Costco) are fitted with baking stones, and while I wasn't able to find out the temperature that the stones reach, the nicely charred undercrust vouched for the grill's heat capacity. Closing the lid gave the top of the pies with just enough heat to melt the hand-stretched, homemade mozzarella.
The pesto, which is also homemade with the basil they grow for the farmers' market and macadamia nuts, is neither too assertive or too subdued. It blends perfectly with the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes, almost creating the illusion of a tomato sauce. And the crust, though they characterize it as Neapolitan, has a middle weight thickness that allows the par-baked shells to develop a sturdy, yet delicate crispness to the bottom while maintaining its soft bread-y top. And, yes, I said par-baked. Nothing about the texture of the crust seemed compromised, but one would not expect a par-baked shell from such a pricey pie. Especially since the crusts are out-sourced. Good dough is the foundation of great pizza and theirs is the one thing they don't make or grow!
So, while the pies are topped with homemade pesto, farm fresh tomatoes (a rarity for Hawaii that does a lot of tomato importing), and hand-stretched mozzarella, all of which are great, the pie is really expensive. The grill hack is pretty effective as well, but a par-baked crust on a slice that costs more than one a DiFara's is just insanity.
If you have $6.50 burning a hole in your pocket, then go for it, but don't expect the price to correlate to the caliber of the pie here.

Natural. Organic. Green. All of these monikers are commonly found on cosmetic products, but who do you trust?
Currently the government does very little as far as protecting consumers and workers from harmful chemical ingredients used to make cosmetics. This means that awareness and education are the best ways to look out for the health of yourself and your family. The current dilemma over the use of the Brazilian Blowout hair treatment, and the FDA's delayed warning, is a prime example.
The Brazilian Blowout (hair smoothing treatment) was called out last year when the Oregon Health and Science University's Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology and Oregon OSHA received a complaint from a stylist suffering from nosebleeds, breathing problems and eye irritation after using the treatment. Subsequent testing showed the product contained up to 10.4 % formaldehyde (linked to many health issues, including cancer). OSHA requires formaldehyde to be listed on product safety materials at levels exceeding 0.1 percent, Brazilian Blowout is well over the mark.
While Canada and other countries pulled Brazilian Blowout and similar products from shelves last year, it took the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) an entire year to come to action. And they still cannot require salons to quit using the product, even when the ingredient in question is one of the most toxic.
A letter was sent last month to Brazilian Blowout officials from the FDA saying that testing showed up to 10% of the formula to be a liquid form of formaldehyde (methylene glycol). The FDA has asked for a response from the officials.
Why not pull from the shelves products with known harmful ingredients that have already been deemed unsafe by other countries such as Canada or the EU?
Due to outdated cosmetics laws the FDA does not have the power to issue a mandatory recall of the products. They can, however, issue a voluntary recall.
While this may be a step in the right direction, it does very little to help right now. Salons across the country continue to use the treatment, A-list celebs among the followers.
Of course, if a highly toxic ingredient like formaldehyde (The Environmental Working Group (EWG) gives it a hazard score of 10, very high) can be used so freely, you can be sure that an array of nasty chemicals are being used to make cosmetics lining our store shelves.
Your best defense against harmful cosmetic ingredients is reading product labels and following brands you can trust. Educate yourself on the companies who produce the cosmetics that you use and watch for red flags. Hard to find or incomplete ingredient listings are always suspect.
Use your purchasing power wisely — buy and use products you know are good for you and your family. Lavera products are 100% free from harmful ingredients, and contain healthy natural and organic ingredients. You can find complete and easy to read ingredient listing for each Lavera product.
There are other, healthier, ways to manage curl or frizz. Enhance your natural texture with products that keep hair healthy and gorgeous with pure ingredients. As with skin care, knowing your unique hair care needs goes a long way toward keeping your mane beautiful.

The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. The family was conceived by MacFarlane after developing two animated films, The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve. MacFarlane redesigned the films' protagonist, Larry, and his dog, Steve, and renamed them Peter and Brian, respectively. MacFarlane pitched a ... more on Wikipedia
