text: Working with SSL at Development Time is easier with IISExpress April 21, '11 Comments [40] Posted in ASP.NET | ASP.NET MVC | IIS | VS2010 Sponsored By One of the demos in my Mix 11 talk "An Overview of the MS Web Stack of Love" was showing how IIS Express and Visual Studio SP1 (as well as WebMatrix) can make working with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) a heck of a lot easier. If you've used Cassini before (that's the little built in Visual Web Developer Server) you've likely noticed that I doesn't support SSL. This makes working with real world sites a little challenging. If you want your Login pages and Account Management pages to use secure sockets, you'd typically have to do all your work with the full version of IIS, either installed on your own machine or using a shared server. Here's a few ways to enable SSL. The first is new in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and will allow you to use SSL on local host over ports 44300 and higher. This means you'll be able to test and develop how your site will work over SSL, but not over port 443 proper. I'll show you that in the final step. If you watch the Mix video, you'll see towards the end where Damian Edwards educates me on this new SSL feature in VS2010SP1. I didn't know that VS2010SP1 (WebMatrix does also) installs some self-signed certificates and includes and option for turning on their use. However, as I pointed out in the video, that's only for high "strange" ports like 44300+, so my more complex example still has value if you want standard port numbers. The Easy Way - Local SSL with IIS Express and VS2010 or WebMatrix If you have IIS Express and VS2010SP1, you can do this now and follow along. Make a new ASP.NET Site in Visual Studio. Right click on the Project in Solution and select Use IIS Express. You can also set IIS Express as the default from the Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | Web Projects. Next, click Yes, and VS will "make a new site" on IIS Express. What does that mean? Click yes and let's find out. Remember that IIS Express is really IIS. It's just "local personal not-a-service" IIS. That means that IISExpress puts its config files in C:\Users\YOU\Documents\IISExpress\config rather than in some machine-wide location. My project is called "MvcApplication18" so I can open up my ApplicationHost.config and look for "MvcApplication18." You can too. There's my site, right there, in IISExpress's applicationHost.config: <site name="MvcApplication18" id="39"> <application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool"> <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="c:\users\scottha\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MvcApplication18\MvcApplication18" /> </application> <bindings> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:15408:localhost" /> </bindings></site> Note the binding section. I can see that my site will show up on http://localhost:15408. Go back to Visual Studio, click on your project and press F4 to bring up the properties dialog. You can also press Ctrl-W, then P, or select View | Property Window. Since I'm using IIS Express and I have VS2010 SP1 installed, I have a new option, "SSL Enabled." If I click it, a new "SSL URL" shows up with a new port number chosen from that pool of ports I mentioned before. Go back over to your ApplicationHost.config if you want to see what really happened. <site name="MvcApplication18" id="39"><application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool"> <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="c:\users\scottha\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MvcApplication18\MvcApplication18" /></application><bindings> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:15408:localhost" /> <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44302:localhost" /></bindings> See that new binding? That was created for us when we clicked SSL Enabled = True. Run your site. Visit it with and without SSL. Don't forget the port number! You're now running under SSL locally, but you're reminded you are a bad person because this certificate is not trusted. Still, create an app, check a box and you've got local SSL. Ok, how can we get this running in a slightly better way? I want: A friendly machine name, not localhost. People to be able to talk to my instance of IIS Express from the outside. Actual SSL over port 443. My ASP.NET application to switch between SSL and not automatically when I'm logging in. My self-signed certificate to be trusted so I don't get warnings. To use PowerShell at some point for no reason at all because that's bad-ass. Here we go. The Hard Ninja Way - Local SSL over 443 with IIS Express and the Gracious Manatee that is The Command Line These steps may seem a little scary, but it's useful to know that they are happening (or have happened) already to make the Easy Way work for you. I'll show you how to do it yourself, then I'll show you an undocumented way to make part of The Hard Way even easier. It's important to know what's happening though and why when you start running random commands from an Administrator Command Prompt, right? 1. Getting IIS Express to serve externally over Port 80 My machine is called HANSELMAN-W500, so I'll use that name. You could update your hosts file and use a friendly name. To start, use your computer name. if you don't know the name of your computer, you're silly. Go to the command prompt and type "HOSTNAME" to find out. First, we need to tell HTTP.SYS at the kernel level that it's OK to let everyone talk to this URL by making an "Url Reservation." From an administrative command prompt: netsh http add urlacl url=http://hanselman-w500:80/ user=everyone Next, as I want to be able to talk to IIS Express from outside (folks on my network, etc. Not just localhost) then I need to allow IIS Express through the Windows Firewall. I can do that graphically from Windows, or type: netsh firewall add portopening TCP 80 IISExpressWeb enable ALL Finally, I need to make sure that my project will use Port 80. I can do that one of two ways. I can either edit the applicationHost.config manually and add the binding (my recommended way): <site name="MvcApplication18" id="39"> <application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool"> <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="c:\users\scottha\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MvcApplication18\MvcApplication18" /> </application> <bindings> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:15408:localhost" /> <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44302:localhost" /> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:80:hanselman-w500" /> </bindings></site> Or, I can do that from the command line too! Although it's a little scary. I can confirm my changes in ApplicationHost.config though if I mess up. "c:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\appcmd.exe" set site /site.name:MvcApplication18 /+bindings.[protocol='http',bindingInformation='*:80:hanselman-w500'] Notice that I'm using the appcmd.exe that came with IIS Express. I don't want to mess up my actual IIS installation if I have one. 2. Making an SSL Cert, hooking it up to IIS Express and making it Trusted Let's make a SSL certificate of our own. Note the CN=. I'm making it my Computer Name, but you could make it nerddinner.com or whatever makes you happy. It should line up with whatever name you've been using so far. makecert -r -pe -n "CN=HANSELMAN-W500" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2036 -eku 126.96.36.199.188.8.131.52.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12 Now, a tricky part. Go find this certificate in the Certificate Manager. Run MMC.exe, go File | Add/Remove Snap In, then select Certificates. Pick the Computer Account. (This is why you can't just run certmgr.msc) and add it. It'll likely be the certificate with an expiration data of 1/1/2036 under Personal Certificates. Double click on your certificate. Go to Details, and scroll down to Thumbprint. Copy that into the clipboard, as that identifies our new certificate. Remove all the spaces from that Thumbprint hash. You can remove those spaces with Notepad if you're Phil Haack, or in PowerShell if you're awesome: C:\>"41 d8 50 95 11 0e 1d f6 8c 89 84 97 55 25 a8 60 59 35 23 0a" -replace " "41d85095110e1df68c8984975525a8605935230a Take the hash and plug it in to the end of THIS command: netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 appid={214124cd-d05b-4309-9af9-9caa44b2b74a} certhash=YOURCERTHASHHERE The AppId doesn't really matter, its just a GUID. This tells HTTP.SYS that we're using that certificate. Leave the Certificate Manager MMC running. Now, tell HTTP.SYS that we're cool with port 443 also (we told it that 80 was cool a minute ago, remember?): netsh http add urlacl url=https://hanselman-w500:443/ user=Everyone Return to your applicationHost.config and add the 443 binding for your site: <site name="MvcApplication18" id="39"> <application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool"> <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="c:\users\scottha\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MvcApplication18\MvcApplication18" /> </application> <bindings> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:15408:localhost" /> <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44302:localhost" /> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:80:hanselman-w500" /> <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:443:hanselman-w500" /> </bindings></site> If I say "Show All Sites" from the IIS Express tray icon, I'll see my site(s) and the URLs they are bound to. Now I can visit https://hanselman-w500, but again I get a certificate error. Go back to the CertMgr MMC, and drag your self-signed SSL Certificate from Personal into Trusted Root Certificates. Suddenly my local SSD site is legit! Very cool. 3. Getting ASP.NET to force SSL with an URL Rewrite Rule One of the things Cassini (Visual Studio Web Developer Server) can't do is UrlRewriting. I want my app to force SSL when I hit /account/logon or /account/register. I'll add this to the first node of system.webServer in my app's web.config: <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^account/logon$|^account/register$" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> </rules></rewrite> I could also use the RequireHttps attribute on my controllers if I like. Appendix Z: A totally undocumented way to make part of this easier that you use at your own risk There's a command line helper deep inside of the IIS Express directory that I never mentioned to you. We never spoke! I don't know you. Who is this? Stop calling! ;) C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>IisExpressAdminCmd.exeUsage: iisexpressadmincmd.exe <command> <parameters>Supported commands: setupFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:<url> deleteFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:<url> setupUrl -url:<url> deleteUrl -url:<url> setupSslUrl -url:<url> -CertHash:<value> setupSslUrl -url:<url> -UseSelfSigned deleteSslUrl -url:<url>Examples:1) Configure "http.sys" and "hosts" file for friendly hostname "contoso":iisexpressadmincmd setupFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:http://contoso:80/2) Remove "http.sys" configuration and "hosts" file entry for the friendly hostname "contoso":iisexpressadmincmd deleteFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:http://contoso:80/ From the command line with this utility, I can quickly setup my hosts file and my HTTP.SYS Url ACLs with one command: C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>IisExpressAdminCmd.exe setupFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:http://daddyisawesome:80/Command 'setupFriendlyHostnameUrl' completed. And remove them: C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>IisExpressAdminCmd.exe deleteFriendlyHostnameUrl -url:http://daddyisawesome:80/Command 'deleteFriendlyHostnameUrl' completed. At this point you just need to update the IISExpress applicationHost.config with the correct binding. You can also use IISExpressAdminCmd setupSslUrl with SSL ports that are already reserved. However, I really think The Hard Way is best because you can really see what's going on, and you have more control. Make It Stop! How do I undo it all? Delete the Certificate in CertMgr, and from an Administration Console: netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443netsh http delete urlacl url=http://hanselman-w500:80/netsh http delete urlacl url=https://hanselman-w500:443/ If you have existing SSLCerts registered with HTTP.sys, the adjust these commands.

First, to make a point, let's add up the total talent points in all of the trees:
- Balance: 41
- Feral: 44
- Resto: 45
Talent Commentary
Moonglow, Genesis and NG (balance):
I'd like to see Nature's Grace and Moonglow (or Genesis) swapped in places in the talent tree. I don't think such a swap would impact moonkin badly, and it would save restos some wasted talent points off of a haste talent that is supposed to proc off of a DPS ability. I am mostly bothered by the need to spend so many points in DPS talents to reach the healing talents in the second teir of the balance tree, especially as we are unlikely to then be able to reach both healing talents and are forced to choose between half of moonglow or half of genesis (or to forgo healing talents in the resto tree to get 5 points to split between them).
If mana is truly the problem the beta-testers are complaining of, I can see some restos looking to the 15% mana pool increase as a possible way to alleviate mana problems. While I don't think it needs to be moved, I did want to point it out, as it still is a talent of interest in the whole "how do I spec?" question.
The First Row of Resto:
9 talent points all useful to a resto druid. This is a heavy hand of points to have to spend. Naturalist is dependant on how often we are casting our longer heals. Blessing of the Grove could potentially be skipped if you can put those points instead into Genesis (which is a more powerful boost), but that requires you to forego Moonglow.
Genesis vs Blessing of the Grove:
BotG (2/2): 4% healing to rejuv. Genesis (2/3): 4% to all HoTs and swiftmend. Keep this in mind when building your own specs, as there are opportunities to replace BotG with Genesis, assuming you need to put points in Naturalist.
Fury of the Stormrage:
If we're having mana problems and need to actually be spending our GCDs on healing, will we have the time to throw around DPS spells? Wrath has a 2.5 second base cast time. Considering it is opening up a mana talent (Malfurion's Gift) for OoC procs off of LB ticks (rather than just spellcasts) I worry at the points being shoved into a flavor talent.
Swift Rejuvenation:
As a deep-tree talent, you can easily yank a point or two based on your haste. The talent allows you to have a capped GCD for Rejuvenation, without any haste on your gear. While it sounds like they don't want us capping to the 1second GCD from haste alone, this talent is one that is more flexible based on gear. In addition, some players may not even make good use of this talent without being impeccably aware of their changing GCD timer: a fluctuation from 1.3 seconds (for example) to 1.0 seconds depending on what spell you cast in the heat of a busy combat is tiny and easily missed. We all have an internal timer that we develop for our keystrokes around successful spellcasts, anyway, and it can be difficult to alter it for rejuvenation alone. So, when looking at this talent, you need to be honest with yourself about how useful it is at your gear level with 2 points, or if you would be better served with 1 point or 0 (compared to other talent options).
DPS talents: Take your Pick
Overall, it appears that we can't really get away with a pure healing build. We are currently forced to pick up a pure DPS talent somewhere. These are a couple options I created while toying around:
- Moonfire and IS: the insta-cast DoT spells: these are quick to cast, but cost you precious mana. NG and Genesis both build on these DoTs, as does Blessing of the Grove. With NG, each DoT will proc you 15% spell haste which will apply to your healing spells, which not only impacts your GCD (should you notice the proc and slightly faster timer) but also your nourish, HT, and regrowth casts. You could replace Genesis with moonglow to help reduce mana cost, as this particular build appears to be much more of a mana hog than the one below.
- Wrath and Starfire: with Fury of the Stormrage, wrath will have a cast time, but no mana. This also opens up Malfurion's Gift, making the build reliant upon lifebloom to be efficient: this is a build for tank healers, certainly (or some very glorious mana returns when you go ToL and blanket the raid in lifebloom). You can replace NG with Starlight Wrath to reduce your wrath to a 2-second base cast time, though the points spent in the resto tree will limit how many you can feasibly put into the balance tree. I left Swift Rejuv off due to the lifeblooming build this spec lends itself towards.
Point Adjustments: the Solution?
Ultimately, the resto tree is heavy on talents, and I think it would be best served by reducing the number of points it takes to max out some of the talents from 3 to 2, such as Nature's Bounty, Revitalize, and/or Living Seed and Efflorescence. This would free up more talent points to put into the more questionable talents like Naturalist, or into the balance tree's yummy healing 2nd-tier talents (for example, this build or this one, assuming that revitalize and nature's bounty were reduced to 2/2 rather than 3/3). Even 2 points freed up would be adored; 3 points would be quite useful as it would then reopen options like full Naturalist or Genesis+Moonglow, together with Swift Rejuv. This would also prevent the need to ignore or complain about DPS talents, as Blizzard seems to be pushing us towards picking up some DPS versatility.
Otherwise, swapping NG and it's DPS-triggered haste proc with either moonglow or genesis would probably make many druids happy.

10 Hangover Remedies: What Works?
Well with the new year approaching so is the time of going to parties, drinking and yes of course the day after. So what to do when your head is pounding, and you are, well lets just say it hungover
(Health.com) -- Prevention is the best cure for a hangover. The only way to avoid a pounding head and queasiness the morning after is to drink in moderation, or to stay away from alcohol entirely. But with all sorts of seasonal celebrations going on, it's easy to overindulge.Alternating your drinks with water or another nonalcoholic beverage can help you slow down and stay hydrated. If you still wind up with a hangover, you may be inclined to try one of the many supposedly tried-and-true remedies that have been passed down through the ages.

Item #3153
105-120 days. Richly colored, reddish-black kernels sparkle like rubies on the big 8"-12" ears. This spectacular heirloom variety is said to be a cross between a Native American corn and corn grown by American settlers. Ears may be eaten fresh when they're still young and tender. Dry the mature ears for decoration or grind them up for flour to make colorful cornbread and pancakes. Bloody Butcher is a statuesque variety, reaching heights up to 12' tall.
This packet sows four 5-foot rows
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil is warm (60°F-65°F).
When to start inside: Not recommended. Corn does not transplant well.
Special germination instructions: Since pollination occurs from wind, corn should be sown in short, parallel rows or blocks.
Harvesting: Let the ears dry on the stalks. They are ready for harvest when the kernels are hard and you can no longer leave a mark on them with your fingernail. Before the first fall frost, give each ear a twist until it breaks off. Peel back the husks, then hang the ears in a cool, dark, dry place for 4-6 weeks to cure. This is important to prevent mold. To strip off cured kernels, twist the cobs back and forth to loosen them (gloves are recommended).

I like the title.
Bravery, like a good drink, on the rocks...
And as much as I like my margaritas, no salt, on the rocks, I got it all wrong.
When Sabrina was a little girl, she was following her daddy, walking barefoot in his footsteps. He got to a rocky stretch of the path and she didn't want to follow him any more. He told her that she had to be brave on the rocks.
I remember following in my daddy's footsteps more than once as a little girl. In the summer time, I often walked barefoot. It got easier as the summer went on. And the rocks became less painful. I started the summer with soft feet, and when i walked barefoot in gravel, it hurt. Or if I walked across hot pavement, it burned and I would run to get to the other side. As the bottom of my feet felt pain, the pain developed callouses. As the callouses became thicker, the rocks were less painful, and the pavement didn't feel quite so hot.
I walked gently at the beginning of the summer, but by the end of summer, when my feet had developed thick, protective callouses, I would run without looking down first. The rocks were still there, but I no longer felt the pain.
This realization changed my outlook at the beginning of the summer. When I approached the rocks, I knew they would hurt. But if I avoided them, then my callouses would never become thick and tough and able to withstand the careless freedom of running barefoot. I spent the first few weeks of summer approaching the rocks with the purpose of enduring the pain to toughen up my feet. I didn't avoid them. I welcomed them, because I knew they were a means to an end.
In today's world, the word callous is not considered a positive thing. As an adjective, it is defined as insensitive, indifferent, or unsympathetic. As a noun, people go to the salon to have their callouses removed so they will have soft, supple feet.
But to me, as a young girl, building callouses were essential to enjoying the freedom of being barefoot in summer. I think that callouses are a good thing. It takes pain to build them. It takes endurance, and persistence. They don't look pretty, but they are protective. And their protection provides a freedom that you cannot get any other way.
If you want to run barefoot, you have to build callouses. Because when you have callouses, you can be brave on the rocks.

Reposted in full from Global Footprint Network newsletter, 1 March 2010
'Ecuador has become the first country to set a concrete Ecological Footprint target. The country has included the goal in its National Plan that, by 2013, its Ecological Footprint will be within its biocapacity, a trend that it will maintained going forward.
"Ecuador wants to be a leading country [in] officially using the Ecological Footprint as a resource accounting tool for policy and decision-making," Ecuador Environment Advisor Dania Quirola Suárez said in a roundtable side-event with Global Footprint Network at the Copenhagen climate talks.
In the past five decades, Ecuador has seen a vast ecological surplus evaporate. In 1961, the country had biocapacity more than four times greater than its Ecological Footprint; today, however, its Ecological Footprint is very close to its biocapacity and would quickly surpass it if current trends continued. While the average Ecological Footprint per person has remained relatively constant, the amount of biocapacity per person has declined as population has grown—a trend a recent educational video likened to a household that must share a fixed budget among a growing number of family members.
The government's Ecological Footprint goal is aimed at ensuring that Ecuador does not move into overshoot. The country also has a Presidential mandate to develop physical indicators that can better track environmental performance and support decision making. Planning officials are seeking not only to use Ecological Footprint data in their own decision-making but to contribute research and expertise that will enable policy-makers elsewhere to follow suit."This step shows that Ecuador's leaders understand the true value of their country's natural wealth and its importance in providing a high quality of life for its citizens," said Jennifer Mitchell, Global Footprint Network Director of Strategic Initiatives, who has worked closely with Ecuador in developing its goal. "They recognize that ultimately, managing biocapacity will enable them to provide for their people's long-term well-being much more effectively than simply liquidating those resources."'

Dan Haren Sees Jered Weaver's 15 Strikeouts & Raises Him One Complete Game Shutout
In an interview prior to this evening's game, Dan Haren was asked about Jered Weaver's stellar, personal single game strikeout record breaking performance on Sunday. He laughed and responded in an affectionate sounding tone that it was getting harder and harder to follow Weaver in the rotation. How do you follow a performance like that? Well, if you're Dan Haren, you stride out to the mound, throw first pitch breaking ball strikes and other nasty stuff and pitch a one-hit complete game shutout! Boys? This one-upmanship thing? It's seriously working for me. You can keep that right on up all season. Please!
This evening's 2 – 0 win over the Indians was, quite simply, one of the best games I have been privileged enough to attend. I am absolutely euphoric as I sit here typing this and, at the beginning of the evening (Hey, I haven't gone to bed yet, so it's still the same evening!), I had no reason to believe I would even be in a good mood. I never leave work when I intend to and this evening was no exception. Still, I was making good enough time plop into my seat next to Seth more or less when the teams were delivering their lineup cards…until the freeway came to a dead halt a mere two offramps from my destination around a five car fender bender, roughly 15 minutes before first pitch.
Near the end of the second inning, and in quite a foul mood at this point, I finally set off across the parking lot toward the Big A. Thirty feet from the stadium gate, my ticket flew out of my hand, well out of my reach and looked ready to disappear entirely before I could do anything about it, when a tall gentleman in an Indians jersey reached out with long arms, snagged the runaway ticket and handed it back to me. I could have hugged him. I burst into the biggest grin and literally exclaimed My hero! Thank you!! I finally arrived at my seats, mood much improved but still bummed that I had missed two full innings plus an additional batter. But all it took to bring my mood full circle to excitement was a glimpse of that glorious field and the pitching display going on in front of me…that and the fact that my husband already bought us dinner so I didn't have to miss another pitch, even though it was easily my turn to do this. What a guy!
Fortunately my comedy of errors getting to the game did not extend to the field. What. A. Game! Dan Haren! Peter Bourjos' first homerun of the season. Dan Haren! Mark Trumbo's first major league homerun ever! Oh, and did I mention Dan Haren? 😉 And then, just when it looked like the Indians were going to get a solid extra bases hit with the potential to bust the game wide open, who should come flying from right to center and seemingly straight up the high part of the wall but Spiderman himself, Torii Hunter. No lie, in the middle of one of the best pitching performances I have seen live at the stadium, this was one of the best catches I have ever seen live at the stadium. You will surely see it on the end of the week highlight reels. But even with that play, this was entirely Dan Haren's show. He never let a runner get to second the entire game. He got the leadoff hitter out in all nine innings. He struck out eight batters. And it looked like he was able to throw all of his pitches for strikes tonight. It was a masterful performance.
The other fun thing about this game was we wound up having some of the best seats possible to appreciate it from. I am kind of a ticket snob, though economics have tempered this tendency considerably, and I had never sat in the upper deck before. But I really wanted to go to this game, I just had a feeling about it, and the tickets that met my strict price limits were in the front row of the lowest part of the upper deck, a section and a half behind third base. I have sat much closer before, but this was one of the clearest views I have ever enjoyed of the ball sailing over home plate…that and I had a great vantage for Torii's catch and both homeruns. Really, especially considering how it started, I could not have asked for a better evening. We were even surrounded by enthusiastic fans, not as much a given as you might like to think. I cheered and yelled and cheered some more pretty much the entire game. I was happily quite hoarse by the time Haren fielded one last grounder and tossed it to Mark Trumbo at first for the final out…almost looking like he was going to run it over and get the out himself.
I can see myself at work tomorrow with a big giant grin on my face, and that, dear coworkers, is why I sound like Kathleen Turner today. Ha ha, I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way. Sorry, couldn't resist. 😉

Look past the big screen with Haren's post game interview and the note the Halo in it's happiest natural state, all light up like Christmas:

It was another choppy day for grains with corn, wheat, and beans all finishing lower. The one market that finished stronger and has been an upside leader lately is May soymeal. December corn finished 9 ¾ cents lower at $5.37, July wheat down 14 ¼ cents at $6.30 ¼, and November soybeans down 11 cents at $13.61 ¾.
For the week, May corn finished 29 cents lower while May soybeans finished 2 ¾ cents higher. The July – November soybean spread was very strong again trading all the way up to an 81.5 cent premium! The market may be preparing for the Nopa Crush report on Monday morning. Otherwise the overall market tone was very negative today with wheat leading the way lower. The US Dollar reversed all of its losses from yesterday and is now trading back above 80.0. Equities and commodities in general traded sharply lower especially after some poor Chinese economic data was released.
For Monday the estimates for Nopa crush are between 141.5 – 143.8 million bushels. This compares to 134.4 at this time last year. Soyoil stocks are expected to be between 2.338 to 2.360 billion lbs compared to 2.242 last month. Monday we will also get crop progress data to show us how much corn we have planted already.
Between now and June the market won't have a definitive answer of just how many acres switch back to soybeans from corn. There is plenty of hedging waiting to get done above these levels for corn which is keeping December resisted. The most resistance may be found above the insurance level of $5.68. Soybean direction should be extra sensitive to crush and export numbers from here until the next stocks report as the market seems wired to buy it. The "managed money" is holding a massive net long position of 242,673 contracts!!! That's 1.213 billion bushels of net long positions using futures and options. If we see exports stay strong until September they could keep taking beans higher. If we see cancellations or sales rolled to new crop, it would be very bearish with such a large spec position in these months. We will have to continue to monitor these numbers for direction.

Here's my book review of Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler.
Vinegar Girl is a title in the publisher's Hogarth Shakespeare series, which implies the book was inspired by one of the Bard's plays. Tyler's romantic comedy is not so much a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew (which Broadway musical fans will recognize as Kiss Me, Kate) as it is a latter-day riff on its theme.
The main character's name is Kate, which is the key similarity to the old tale, but this Kate is by no means a shrew. She's an independent woman. (And perhaps that's the essential point.) It's not that this Kate hates men – she's mostly indifferent to them. She honors her father, widowed Dr. Louis Battista, a ditsy research scientist who spends most of his time holed up in his lab with dozens of mice. She indulges her sister Bunny, a teen-with-attitude who (no surprise) won't clean her room or do her own laundry.
Kate tends to the two of them in a big, old house and not only washes their clothes but also cooks and does just enough housekeeping to avoid the appearance of a rat's nest. As well, she works as an assistant at a private preschool where the teachers are mostly fussy older women who disapprove of both her unmarried status and her wardrobe, which consists of jeans and tops and the one denim skirt she wears when her pants are all in her neglected pile of laundry.
She's not unattractive – she's tall and slender with olive skin and long, silky black hair. But she hasn't had a date in mouse-ages, and she isn't sufficiently motivated to go after the only male teacher at the school, who happens to be about her age and presumably unattached. But her life's awkward routine changes suddenly when the doctor formulates a solution to a problem that has been nagging him: The work visa of his brilliant research assistant Pyotr is due to expire. A neat resolution would be to induce Kate to marry him so the klutzy fellow needn't go back to Russia before their research project is completed.
How this plays out won't come as a surprise if you know your Shakespeare or your Cole Porter. As in Tyler's other novels, the emotional turning point is subtle. One clue is an exchange between Pyotr and Kate when she warns him that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Kate begins to realize that his grasp of English is much better than he lets on when he wryly asks his "vinegar girl" why she would even want to catch flies.
Happily ever after? Gimme a break – what world do you live in? But as Kate might say if you pressed her, if she'd wanted to be bored she'd have married someone else.

WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the Nobel Prize winner who shepherded an effort to help spur a clean energy U.S. economy, will step down after a tenure rocked by the failures of some costly government investments.
Chu's departure, which was announced Friday and follows similar moves by the Environmental Protection Agency administrator and the interior secretary, will allow President Barack Obama craft a fresh team to address climate change.
Obama has said responding to the threat of climate change will be a priority during his second term, giving the issue a prominent place in his inaugural address last month.
After legislation setting up a program to cap greenhouse gas emissions failed to get through Congress, the administration pushed ahead with regulating carbon through the EPA. Lawmakers are still divided over climate change and analysts expect Obama will continue to use federal agencies to target emissions.
Chu's successor will likely operate under a much more constrained budget, but could play a key role as the department develops energy efficiency standards, funds research into clean energy innovations and helps oversee the shale oil and gas boom.
Potential contenders for the energy post are said to include Christine Gregoire, former governor of Washington; Bill Ritter, former governor of Colorado; and Dan Reicher, a Google climate change executive who worked in the Energy Department during the Clinton administration.
Analysts have said Obama likely will pick a successor with business expertise or political clout to fend off congressional critics of the department's spending on clean energy.
For the last two years, Chu had been at the center of Republican-led probes of his management of the $37 billion his department received for clean energy development from the 2009 economic stimulus.
When Chu took the energy post that year, he was supposed to put a new focus on clean energy. "Drill baby drill" was out, the Toyota Prius - or even better, the Chevy Volt - and solar roof panels were in.
Chu got to play Santa Claus to the clean energy sector with the stimulus funds. But hard times followed when one of the recipients, solar-panel maker Solyndra, filed for bankruptcy in 2011 after receiving a $535 million loan guarantee.
Chu defended his record to the end, fighting off charges that his department doled out funds to political allies.
"We should be judged not by the money we direct to a particular state or district, company, university or national lab, but by the character of our decisions," he said in his resignation letter.
Chu said he may remain in his post past the end of February to help in the transition to his successor.
Unlike his predecessors, who included former politicians and businessmen, Chu was a self proclaimed nerd and energy efficiency fanatic who does not own a car, cycles to work and walks many flights of stairs to his office.
Instead of focusing on fossil fuels, Chu made clear his focus was on fuels of the future. In a famous early misstep, Chu even said OPEC was not his domain, then backtracked.
Chu's scientific pedigree was often touted as an asset by the administration. The White House tapped Chu to help figure out how to cap BP's ruptured Macondo well during the 2010 Gulf oil spill, crediting him with helping to devise the ultimate solution for capping the well.
Detractors complained that the bookish physicist's awkward style made it hard for him to push a compelling message promoting renewable or alternative fuels.
Under his watch, big increases in U.S. wind and solar power development were overshadowed by new methods to get at old-fashioned energy sources: crude oil and natural gas.
Kevin Book, managing director at Washington energy research firm ClearView Energy Partners LLC, said the shale natural gas boom in particular upended Chu's agenda.
"Secretary Chu came to Washington to transform America's energy infrastructure and he's going to leave Washington where natural gas has transformed the viability of everything he cared about," said Book.
That oil and gas bonanza has helped to put the country on track to its long-sought after goal of energy self sufficiency, but environmental groups have raised concerns about continued reliance on carbon-releasing fuels.
The fallout from Solyndra, a "bad bet" that was once a crown jewel of the Obama's renewable energy policy, engulfed Chu in a political firestorm.
Solyndra was supposed to be a success story in the White House's effort to promote green energy and create jobs.
But, after the federal loan aid and visits from President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, Solyndra filed for bankruptcy in September 2011. The Republican-led House of Representatives probe into the government's aid to Solyndra then kicked into high gear.
"The fact that he was not extremely well versed in how to handle folks on Capitol Hill probably created a more adversarial atmosphere than there needed to be," said Salo Zelermyer, an attorney with Washington law firm Bracewell & Giuliani who served as senior counsel at the Energy Department during the Bush Administration.
The department's advanced battery grant program has also experienced some high profile setbacks, with battery maker A123 also filing for bankruptcy.
Despite the negative optics, though, analysts have said it would be unrealistic to expect such a large portfolio of projects to be without failures.
The full impact of the department's efforts is not yet clear, but Chu helped place the nation on a path to compete in the global clean energy market, said Joshua Freed, director of clean energy program at the think-tank Third Way.
"The secretary was brought in because he had an understanding and vision for how to innovate," Freed said. "He actually did that quite well."
Martin Lagod, managing director and co-founder of venture capital firm Firelake Capital Management, said Chu's most important legacy was ARPA-e, the DOE entity that promotes high-impact energy technologies not yet ready for prime-time.
"It is a beautiful program and frankly should be funded bigger and better. ... It's a great catalyst for creative and innovative thinking. A good role for government is to help spur and fund basic research and to me this is a very good example of it in the DOE," said Lagod.

This 4-port HDMI video switch lets you share an HDMI 2.0 display or projector with four HDMI 2.0 video sources. The switch features four independent video inputs that can each support 4K resolution at 60Hz, making it the perfect solution for connecting four video sources to a display that has a limited number of HDMI 2.0 ports.
Astonishing picture quality with support for Ultra HD 4K at 60Hz
The HDCP 2.2 HDMI switch lets you harness the High Dynamic Range (HDR) capability of your HDMI 2.0 video sources and deliver it to your UHD 4K60 display. Unlike many 4K switches that only support a 30Hz refresh rate, this switch works with HDMI 2.0 displays with output resolutions of up to 3840 x 2160p at 60Hz.
Don't be fooled by a clever spin on old technology. Many HDMI switches support 4K but will only work at a 30Hz refresh rate, or claim support for 60Hz but heavily compress their signal to a lower 4:2:0 chroma subsampling in order to work at inferior bitrates. This 4K 60Hz HDMI switch uses the latest components to offer full support for your HDMI 2.0 equipment, supporting true 4K resolution at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Support for HDMI 2.0 devices means this switch can transmit bandwidth up to 18Gbps, making it ideal for high-resolution computer tasks.
The switch is backward compatible with 4K 30Hz and 1080p displays, which ensures that it will work with lower resolution displays such as TVs or projectors around your site or in a digital signage application.
Hassle-free Operation with automatic switching
This switch ensures effortless operation with automatic switching that detects and selects a newly connected device. It's perfect for automatically switching to a 4K media player such as a 4K UHD Blu-ray™ player as soon as it's switched on. In your classroom or office boardroom, the automatic switch makes it easy to share your projector between multiple sources, which encourages on-the-fly collaboration among colleagues.
The HDMI switch also supports manual operation, using the included IR remote control or the built-in front-panel toggle switch.
The VS421HD20 is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support.
- Share 4K60 display with four different video sources
- Collaborate on the fly with colleagues, by connecting multiple users to the same display and switching between input devices
- Use in digital signage applications to display multiple source devices at different times

Before You Buy
This device outputs HDMI video signals. If you have a display or video destination that uses another type of video connection, there are ways that you can convert the video signal or connection. These options are outlined below and organized by the target connection.
When you consider whether to convert an HDMI video signal to another connection type, it is important to know if the media that is being converted from the HDMI video connection is protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If the media is protected by HDCP, you cannot convert to analog video connections because they do not support HDCP. You may experience this issue when you use devices like Blu-ray players, DVD players, and certain gaming consoles.

HDMI 2.0 offers some new features that were not available with the HDMI 1.4 standard, including the following:
- 4K resolution (4096x2160) at 60 Hz
- 21:9 aspect ratio support
- Four audio streams
- High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) version 2.2
Although HDMI 2.0 is backwards compatible with older HDMI standards, newer HDMI devices need to support HDCP 2.2 in order to display new content. If you use an HDMI device that only supports HDCP 2.0, an error will be displayed when you try to display content that has HDCP 2.2.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video splitter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video splitter
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI splitter, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video splitter, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video splitter, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video splitter from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video splitter.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, splitter, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Video splitters take the output for monitor port 1 and mirror it to the remaining outputs. By default, the first output port is the master port that is mirrored to each additional monitor. Make sure that you use the first output port when you use the video splitter. The master port is labeled on the splitter boxes from StarTech.com. On the splitter cables from StarTech.com, the master port is the top port.
If you are having issues with a splitter interpreting the incorrect port as the master port, try the following:
Unplug all of the video connections.
If the splitter is powered, power cycle the splitter.
Plug in all of the video connections again.
Make sure that the first video connection plugged in is the one that you want to be the master port.
You might encounter resolution issues when you use a video splitter. This can occur because the information and resolution on one display are being copied and sent to each of the additional displays. You should make sure that all of the displays that you are using can support the output resolution.

Common Issues
Turning off one video source, such as a Blu-Ray player, may cause all displays on the output ports to enter standby mode. This is a feature of Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) and to avoid this behavior you will need to disable CEC on the video source.
