Texas Rangers
Closer option Keone Kela hopes to rejoin Rangers' bullpen in KC
Keone Kela hopes to return to the Rangers' bullpen in the next few days. The reliever has been on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation since July 3. He's eligible on Friday, the day the Rangers start the second half against the Royals at Kaufman Stadium.
Manager Jeff Banister said it's unlikely Kela will be activated before Friday's game. Kela said his shoulder responded well after throwing during the All-Star break. He threw long toss during Thursday's optional workout at Kaufman Stadium.
"It feels really good. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to come back after the break," he said. "My body tells me I'm ready. I feel ready, my mind's there."
Kela has been suggested by Banister as a likely candidate to assume the closer role, which has been vacant since Matt Bush blew multiple saves in June. Kela said being a closer has always been a career goal, but he isn't campaigning for the job either.
"The label of being a closer never really swayed how I'm going to pitch," he said. "I know what comes with being the closer, you have to go out and get the 27th out ... but at the end of the day, I just try to focus on getting those three outs regardless of where they're at."
Kela has two saves in his career, including one on May 21 at Detroit.
"I just want to contribute the best I can to the team, I don't really care where it's at. If it's the sixth inning, beautiful, if it's the ninth beautiful," said Kela, who has a 2.64 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings. "I understand the significance of the ninth inning. I know it's a role I'd definitely gravitate towards but at the end of the day wherever I pitch I'm happy."

The answer to this question depends on several factors. In general, if you have inherited money you must provide: (1) a notarized copy of the will, (2) a letter from a legal adviser confirming the validity of the will. The will itself must include the date of the will, the beneficiary of the will, the amount of money that your spouse/partner have inherited, the names of any executors, plus any codicils (additions) to the will that affect the amount of money that was received.

Rapid initial recovery and long-term persistence of a bee community in a former landfill
We're having an Andy Warhol day! First, a nice piece in the Brock News about our recent paper on 10 years (yes, ten!) of bee monitoring at the Glenridge Quarry Naturalization Site. Then some tweeting, including from NSERC and Canada's Science Minister. … Continue reading

Imagine you are new to a city, are confused about how best to explore it. You might have seen a lot of images, videos before you got there. But at the site, on the streets there is no where for you to know where to head. Enter Audio Compass, a travel tech start up that solves this problem. Read on for their story.
Audio Compass is a travel tech start-up that develops audio guides and multi-media based travel guides. After releasing apps for the official tour of The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Khajurao they also launched an app about the history of South Mumbai earlier this year.
"Once downloaded it sustains without being connected to the web and you are free to explore the city."
See that's the reason why I like the idea of audio guides while travelling. There is so much of a video and picture overload on the web now a days that having an audio guide with unique stories to share as a companion on my travels around the world will be quite a novel experience. Now, what if these audio guides are customized to the profile of a traveller? Would'd that add a unique edge to the concept of travel audio guides itself? Tell me what you think about it. I would love to hear your thoughts or experience with other audio guides you have experienced on your travels.

The term "feeling blue" really took on a whole new meaning when I introduced some cobalt to my wardrobe. Now I find myself feeling blue on a daily basis! This bright hue makes my eyes bluer and looks fabulous against my pale skin (the sun and I don't get along). It's such a great substitute for black and it gives me an excuse to wear other brights. I threw on this outfit when I woke up on Monday because I was feeling kind of sickly and hoped it would energize me. Then, I realized I felt pretty awful so I took it off, threw on some pj's and watched Sex and the City all day. I can't wait to actually wear this ensemble out but I'll debut it for you here in the meantime ;).
We can also talk about how that first photo highlights all the bug bites on my legs. They're BRUTAL! Bugs love me. How do you all feel about bright hues this fall? I think cooler weather calls for darker colors but the heat here in Phoenix has me reaching for my brights again and again. Hopefully things will cool down soon so I can bust out my actual fall pieces. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend! I'll see you on Monday :)

Sharath is coming to London this week, I decided not to take part this time, partly because of the horrendously expensive peak train fares on the week days and also because we don't actually have trains early enough to get there on the weekend days. Then there's the question of what I would actually get out of a week of led primary with 150 other people. I've done lots of led classes with Sharath, in London and in Mysore. I get that it's about the count and the amazing energy in the room and Sharath himself, who has a wicked sense of humour.
London is the last stop on his European tour and not only attracts U.K. based Ashtangi's, but also many from abroad. The visitors have arrived, I walked in to AYL yesterday, the shoe rack was overflowing, both the main room and the Finishing/Starting room were full, so J and I sat on the shoe rack to wait. That's the first time in 7 years of going to AYL on a Sunday that I've had to wait to even start in the Finishing room.
After 10mins or so and some shunting up, space closing of mats in both rooms J and I started, the visitors unaware of the system or not realising L had called "one more" and it was their turn to move next door, had to be prompted to move.
I ended up next to an Italian girl in the main room, Sharath is going to be an experience for her, I wonder if she will survive, she seemed to have only the vaguest idea of the standing sequence going from Prasarita D via a vinyasa to Upavistha Konasana and missing out everything inbetween. I truly hope she has an amazing experience, Sharath always seems more lenient with the primary people, not stopping them as he would in Mysore.
Usually I'm in my own little world plodding through in the one mat wide section, but it was quite distracting and I was quite glad when L told Miss Italy to take her mat and water bottle and do closing. I shunted in to her spot away from the radiator and found my rhythm. The one mat wide section means you tend to get left alone, more time for experimenting with Philippa's straight leg hang back backbends before L came over for assisted.
Weirdly the Finishing room was nearly empty, my favourite spot near the window was free, so closing, sitting and Savasana in the sunshine.
AYL's magazine finally arrived, Pushpam #3 on Dukha, suffering. The cover is a stunning black image of Ganesh, though on a lighter note there is a brilliant Boonchu cartoon of the cult of the yoga asana selfie.

What is the worst that can happen? You cannot make this stuff up…
As you know, Equifax recently admitted a cyber-security breech which compromised the personal information of nearly 1.5 million Americans:
Equifax disclosed a cybersecurity breach in September that potentially compromised the personal information, including Social Security numbers, of more than 145 million Americans — data that security experts have described as the crown jewels for identity thieves. The company is one of three major credit reporting bureaus whose data determine whether consumers qualify for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and other financial commitments.
The company has subsequently taken criticism for issuing confusing instructions to consumers, which contained language that appeared aimed at limiting customers' ability to sue, as well as tweeting out a link to a fake website instead of its own security site. The Justice Department later opened a criminal investigationinto three Equifax executives who sold almost $1.8 million of their company stock before the breach was publicly disclosed, Bloomberg has reported.

Trouble making Trappists?Discover Liquid Candy Syrup!
See what color impact to expect from liquid candy.
I'm hoping to set the beers apart by introducing a wide amount of variation (barrel sizes, woods, strains, pitching rates, racking schedules etc.) in an attempt to produce a wide range of beers for blending. Most likely we'll focus on a couple beers that will be blended, fruited, dry hopped, spiced etc. in a variety of ways. It doesn't seem worth making 10 base beers when places like Cantillon do so much with one or two. I'm still waiting until a location is chosen, so I have some idea of space/temperature constraints, to really put a detailed plan onto paper.
Cheers, and thanks for all the knowledge I've picked up from all of you over the years!
I really like the idea with the off shoots of the base beers to.
I'd love to talk the guy running Modern Times into doing some of those dark saisons on the big system. Hopefully I can also convince him on the "seasonal" concept the way we have been doing them, brewing something each year reminiscent of the fall, but not necessarily with the same recipe or ingredients.
Thanks again for the kind words everyone! Not sure how much I'll actually be at the brewery, just a few weeks a year at first. Hopefully the timing works out to show some of you guys around.
Thanks Gordon. Let me know if anything looks missing. I've been hitting the scientific literature pretty hard lately, trying to get better answers about what the various microbes can and can't ferment, ideal conditions, influences on byproduct production etc. Having a hard time figuring out if it is better to have anecdotal information about the way brewery X does something, or scientific studies that show what happens in heavily controlled/isolated situations (what type of dextrins can the enzymes extracted from Brett actually break down, for example).
Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your progress
Steve, you just may not have the right audience. If you don't mind venturing to another board, this one has a decent amount of cider discussion: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f32/
It would also be a huge draw to your tasting room if you could try the different variations (cherry, dry hopped) or even beers from different barrels before you blended.
Alpine makes a very nice one, but it is super limited and once a year. Karl Strauss makes one, once a year, but it is overly sweet and fruity. And I can't think of another.
And let me know if there is anyway I can help you. I'm local to San Diego and would like to see this project become successful.
This. One of my most memorable tasting room experiences was at Full Sail in Hood River, OR. A lot of their beer isn't all that remarkable, but I got to try all three barrel types that went into their Bourbon Imp. Porter.
As far as the book, I like references to scientific studies myself, but I know anecdotal info is a lot more palatable to a lot of people.
The current plans also include having a pilot system to churn out experimental batches, we've talked about doing various side-by-sides with water adjustments, mash temperature, hop timing etc. We are looking to have an educational component as well as doing more flavorfully interesting stuff.
As for the book, my thoughts are on the same line as yours Cody. I've got a couple friends who are far more scientifically minded than I am helping me translate the real world applications of the studies I've been able to dig up. One of the reasons I'd like to self-publish is so I can do updates as the scientific literature grows (and as I learn what does and doesn't work on the micro-brewery production scale).
For your book, I agree that the people who will make the big bucks are the ones that can take the scientific language that 5% understand and explain it to the other 95%. Just let me know when I can pre-order the book.
I am sure with the readership on your blog, forums, articles you could fund the publishing.
If we were stealing wort from another beer, and we wanted to leave a touch of sweetness, if would be interesting to see how pulling a smaller amount more frequently would work out. Say replace 1/6 of the volume every three months. That would end up with a beer that was about 18 months old on average, but with 1/6 of each pull only being 3 months old kegging would be the only safe option.
Good luck and keep the BBB updated on the book and brewery.

The life cycle of green plants
How does this life cycle compare with your own? Where do meiosis and syngamy occur in the life cycle of vertebrates, or of some brown algae (e.g. Fucus)? Click HERE for an image of Fucus from the University of British Columbia. Images of Fucus male and female gametangia are also available. What components of the plant life cycle shown at the left are missing in the vertebrate life cycle? For more information on life cycles, as well as stimulating ideas about their evolution, see Corner (1964).Plants are distinguished from the other kingdoms of living things by photosynthetic energy capture, multicellularity, as well as by their common life cycle with
Evidence from biochemistry and ultrastructure strongly suggests that the life cycle shown here was inherited from green algae (such as Ulva, mentioned in class as an example of an isomorphic alternation of generations).

Some of them even said that what goes in your body will be seen in your body. Therefore they say that we all should treat our body right so that it will give us what we need in return for a happy and comfortable living.
Self Improvement and Respect
Everything else as what most people say starts with your self. If you know how to treat yourself the right way and respect what your body, mind and spirit needs, then by all means go ahead and you will surely live your life the way that it should be - happy, healthy and comfortable. It's actually all that we need anyway when we look deeper into our purpose in life. A few self improvement programs may help you with this matter.
Personal Development Programs
Getting in to programs that help your personal development be on the way to prosperity not in terms of money but in terms of your positive life and living standards which in turn what makes us live a happy life is the best gift you can give yourself.

Beware of Towing Hold UP0 comments Posted by masterofthe at 6:35 AM
Tonight, I was able to watch about an interesting video clip about how the Philippine towing service works and should work according to the MMDA system of towing. There was this towing service that has a very unique towing service system that people have been ailing to expose the illegal way of towing in the Philippines, particularly in Quezon City.
The gimmick of this towing service is that when they see a truck or any vehicle in the middle of the street, they will approach at once the vehicle and a towing worker will automatically set himself in the driver's seat and without the permission of the driver and MMDA, the truck will be towed back to the MMDA towing center.
According to the MMDA, their system of towing the vehicle is illegal as the system should be this way. A vehicle may not be towed if the engine of the vehicle is running and can still run, the driver should be first called with the use of a car buzzer 5 times, if the driver is still not around the vehicle, the towing service again will make a second 5 beep to catch the attention of the vehicle's drive and if still, the driver will not show up, the vehicle will still not be towed unless a call is made to the MMDA office allowing the tow service to take the vehicle. This should be the right process of towing.
Another wrong system of the towing service is that after a vehicle is towed, it should be the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner to only talk to the MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) service personnel about matters regarding the towing charges and no one is else is authorized to do otherwise. Another wrong way of treating the towed vehicle owner is that the actual fees charged are in the due restriction of the towing service. It should be the other way around which is that only the MMDA has the right to make and set towing fees which amounts to a standard of only about Php 1,200. 00 only and no more no less regardless of the distance that the towing traveled.
More or less, this is how it all works when it comes to towing and towing system and service of the MMDA.

The Interview with a Black Belter0 comments Posted by masterofthe at 8:56 AM
A few weeks ago, I was able to interview a black belter. An workmate from Laguna branch of the industry that I am working with and it turned out to be something very interesting and I should really avoid naming her here in this blog but I would like to specially mention that I really enjoyed reading from the concerns that she gave with my interview.
NO! It didn't last a minute but a few days. It must have taken her a few long hours thinking of the answers to the interview which I only sent through e-mail in wordpad. The interview might not be a person to person one but I surely did enjoy it. Looking at people's minds is a game I will never run out of passion with. I must admit that I really love reading people's minds and it amuses me to find out certain things about them when I talk or meet them in person or in the web.
It really is a very good feeling to know that you can really read people's minds even if it's just a little bit of the part of their thinking habits. I also love seeing through inside of them in a way I make on my own. Well, whichever way it is that I do just to see through them is no longer important because to me what's important is that I can find a way to see through them and knowing that they also knew me, makes the feeling even more amplified and very good. Sometimes it makes me think that it is the fountain of youth that this gift I have is put to use and is properly utilized.
Payday Loans - A Great Way to Get Quick Cash0 comments Posted by masterofthe at 9:33 AM
Payday loans is probably one of the best ways to get quick cash advance for use in paying bills in the house while you are waiting for the next payday to come to pay the loan. This type of loan offer convenience of applying right in your home and avoid the eyes of the viewing public. Furthermore, quick cash advance through payday loans are very easy to get as most of the time, there is no need to fax any document plus requirements are pretty simple and very easy to produce.
Requirements would only concentrate in just three main points in order to get the loan. First, you have to be employed in a company for at least 3 months consecutively. Second, you must be earning at least $1,000 per month and the last is that you have to have a valid checking account that is open for at least 3 months. If you pass in these 3 easy-to-produce requirements, then you are good to go and apply for a payday loan.
Payday loans are also one of the quickest ways to get instant cash advance in a secure online transaction. Once you get the loan approval, you automatically get the money through electronic deposit in your checking or savings account. You also get the comfort of not needing to go over the painstaking process of waiting online just to fill up an application form to get a loan. With cash advance payday loans, you can pay the bills in no time and get the money to use for paying almost effortless and very convenient.
Discovering How to Make Money Online0 comments Posted by masterofthe at 7:39 AM
Making money online is really very cheap these days. All you have to do is to get your own blog and create as many contents as you can until you reach a certain amount of contents that may be enough to get you what you need - contents, visitors and rankings in the SERPs.
I have actually read so many money making schemes today and some of them may not be as effective as they were before when Google did not yet impose penalties to websites and blogs that are in to selling links and PR to others. I need not name them all but to this day, they are all but a bunch of link selling schemes that became some sort of an underground movement since Google implemented the PR slap to those caught in the act taking part in selling links.

Instant Win Game, Scratch Card and Fundraising Ideas0 comments Posted by masterofthe at 7:13 AM
Scratch Card - A Great Way to Win Prizes
Fundraising ideas such as those that I learned about today are some of the very interesting venues that I have been in to this day. There are also much too many to mention about these fund raising ideas that I can think of but this one is something that really caught my attention and interest. Scratch Card is a great and if I may think about it a very interesting way to have some fund raising ideas that can clearly make you look a second time around and wonder how it could generate a certain amount of money to be able to finance a fund raising campaign or something worth of attention.
Other Names for such Fund Raising Ideas
A Scratch card may also be called as magnet card from which the prices are actually hidden from the eye of the bearer and is located right at the center of the magnet. It may also be called as an instant win game and some people even just go crazy over playing them because they can be a pretty easy way to win instantly as a game. This is also the same reason why some people call such fund raising ideas as customer rewards or instant win game.
Uses for the Scratch Card
I heard there are some companies that use the scratch card as a way to give incentives to their employees. This is their way to show off gratitude of service to some outstanding employees out there to serve the company with all their heart and concern. Some interesting use of the scratch cards or magnet cars is by giving them away as a form of customer rewards system that are given to regularly patronizing customers who make a regular purchase of either a service or a product. This is another way to show gratitude to people who give your business the earnings needed to survive in the arena of competition. I have also seen this scheme in some big and small products as a form of incentive to buying customers in many groceries. This is also an interesting and effective as a fund raising idea for some public service associations out there who are looking forward to pool some extra cash for use in serving the public.
Advantage of Using Scratch Card as a Fund Raising Idea
Using scratch card as among all available fund raising ideas is best because it is a quicker way to raise funds and you may be able to use the generated funds as early as you need them. All that the patrons need is to devote a few seconds and the instant game is over. This enables the sponsors of such fund raising ideas to make the markup funds needed from the fund raising scheme to be able to finance any public project. Scratch cards are also interesting and easy to use for your fundraising ideas and schemes and won't take so much time of the patrons so there is no doubt that even the busiest people will take advantage of your efforts and at the same time they know that they may be able to help people for such a small amount that they need to pay for it. Scratch cards are also a cheap way to generate quick funds.
The Google Update is Out0 comments Posted by masterofthe at 5:04 PM
The Google PR update is finally out! Nobody really expected to have the update to happen sooner as last year, it took a few more months than the usual. Google must have known that people and webmasters are no longer doing things against their way and they have already devised some sort of a program that will give them the advantage on knowing who is who is not doing paid link buying and paid exchange linking. Google is focusing on what they are looking forward to do and make happen.
Google Penalized Blogs that Have Paid Blog Reviews
I really do not know much about this but a friend told me in the forums that his blog that has paid blog review posts or contents are all penalized by Google and now have PR 0. This could be one of the ways to let us all bloggers know that Google knows and will know if our blogs are in to paid posting. This can be just an assumption and not necessarily an absolute truth because I also have a blog that I applied to a Paid Blog Posting scheme and instead of getting penalized, it got an increase in its PR from PR 2 to PR 3.
In line to the things that are all happening these days and as what Google have been campaigning for in the past few months, I would like to suggest people who may be able to read this that there is something that Google have been doing and letting the blogging industry that blogging can be fun and interesting but that they will not tolerate paid linking.

Historically, mountain lions were heavily persecuted in California. Classified as a "bountied predator" from 1907 to 1963, a record 12,462 mountain lions were killed (more than any other state) and turned in for the bounty. These laws were repealed in the 60s, they were briefly hunted, and then in the 90s they became protected. Mountain lions have come a long way in the last few decades. Read on to find out about this exciting history of mountain lions in California.
Genetic research indicates that the common ancestor of today's Leopardus, Lynx, Puma, Prionailurus, and Felis lineages migrated across the Bering land bridge into the Americas approximately 8 to 8.5 million years ago.
What we know as a cougar today became recognizable as a distinct species about 400,000 years ago, and inhabited nearly all of the Americas for hundreds of thousands of years, alongside the giant sloth, the mammoth, the dire wolf and the sabre-toothed lion.
During the Pleistocene ice ages, conditions appear to have become too cold for cougar populations to survive, and paleotologists believe that at the end of the last ice age, the big cats repopulated North America from a southern refugium. Cougars have inhabited California, alongside humans, for more than 40,000 years.
Native people memorialized the cougar in rock carvings, totems, in story and in song. As European settlement expanded in the 1840's, cougar persecution and riding the landscape of dangerous wildlife became more common.
Historically, mountain lions were
heavily persecuted in
In 1969, the state legislature again reclassified mountain lions as a "game mammal." This action was undertaken to control supposed livestock damage and to "manage" mountain lions through regulated hunting.
In 1971 and 1972 California held its only regulated lion-hunting seasons, during which time 118 mountain lions were killed for sport.
In 1971, the state legislature passed new legislation, signed by then governor, Ronald Reagan which placed a moratorium on the sport hunting of mountain lions. The lion hunting moratorium, which started on March 1, 1972, was maintained until 1986 at which time the regulated hunting of mountain lions was once again authorized. Despite this authorization, political pressure from individual citizens and conservation organizations such as the Mountain Lion Foundation (MLF) kept lions from being hunted for sport in California over the next four years.
In 1990, a coalition of
conservation organizations, including MLF, placed
Proposition 117 — commonly known as the "mountain lion initiative" — on the statewide ballot. This
proposition, the first to have been placed solely
with signatures collected by volunteers in
In 1996, trophy-hunting proponents got the state
legislature to place Proposition 197 on the March
primary ballot. Drafted in part by the Safari Club,
this initiative was presented to voters under the
guise of "public safety" concerns in an effort to
overturn the ban on killing mountain lions for
recreational purposes. Proposition 197 was
overwhelmingly rejected by 58.12 percent of
Since the 1996 failure to repeal the State's lion-hunting ban, there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts by lawmakers to introduce legislation that would overturn Proposition 117's lion-hunting restrictions.
At this time,
On September 6, 2013, California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 132 into law. This groundbreaking legislation (effective January 1, 2014), protects lions that accidentally wander into human-populated areas. Law Enforcement and Wildlife Officers can only kill a lion if it is posing an imminent threat to human life: exhibiting aggressive behavior towards a person that is not due to the presence of first responders.
The new law (F&G Code 4801.5) also allows CDFW to partner with qualified individuals, educational institutions, government agencies, or nongovernmental organizations to implement nonlethal procedures on a mountain lion which include rescue and rehabilitation.

Let's go through step by step procedure.
First we have to see how to create virtual machine in Windows Azure. I have already posted the article "How to Create Virtual Machine in Windows Azure". If you haven't read that please go through that article first for the complete steps.
We will be repeating the same steps to create the second virtual machine with a very small configuration change. Only difference for creating load balancing Virtual Machine in Windows Azure is to select the "CLOUD SERVICE" as the already created Virtual Machine cloud name. In this case it will be "Dotnetgalaxy".
You may notice that. As soon as you select the existing cloud service from the dropdown, "CLOUD SERVICE DNS" will be disabled.
Once you create the VM you may notice that both machine will have the same DNS name.
Next one is the very important settings you have to do on your second Virtual Machine, that is adding the HTTP end point.
In this case since we already have the HTTP end point created for the First Virtual Machine we will do some slight modification in that END POINT. Just Click on the First Virtual Machine and go to END POINT tab.
Select HTTP end point and click on EDIT. Now select "CREATE A LOAD-BALANCED SET"
Click On the Arrow to configure the "LOAD-BALANCER SET NAME". Here we will give the name as "dotnetgalaxy"
Now Click on the Tick mark to complete this configuration. Now we will add the HTTP end point in second Virtual Machine. Just click on the second Virtual Machine and go to END POINT tab. Click on ADD button to add the new HTTP END POINT.
This will open the pop up a window to configure the HTTP END Point. Here we will select the second option "ADD AN ENDPOINT TO AN EXISTING LOAD-BALANCING SET". This will automatically shows the load balancing set name "dotnetgalaxy" we have already created few minutes back. This will appear only once you complete previous steps. It may take a minute or so..you may wait until that configuration finishes.
Click Next to provide the END POINT name as HTTP and click on the Tick mark.
Now it is the time to deploy the ASP.NET web application. I have already written an article "How to Deploy ASP.NET web application in Windows Azure Virtual Machine". Please go through this article and deploy your ASP.NET web application in first Virtual Machine.
Now let's do the deployment is second Virtual Machine.
Here what we are going to do is, since we already have a site deployed in Virtual Machine 1 we will use the same deployed file and deploy it in second Virtual Machine.
We will copy the whole folder from dotnetgalaxy VM that is from first VM.
Now we will paste this in dotnetgalaxy1 VM that is in second VM
We will open IIS and convert this as web application.
Just browse the deployed application and see if it works fine.
That's it, now when you access your application over the net it will open from load balancer based on the traffic on the server. Windows Azure supports Round robin algorithms. Microsoft didn't announce clearly how this round robin works. You may explore more about the algorithms in MSDN.
In order to test whether load balancing is working, you can modify default.ASPX from each server and access it from the net.
I have changed the title of first VM's default.aspx to "Windows Azure Demo ASP.NET Site - Windows Azure VM1"
I have changed the title of second VM's default.aspx to "Windows Azure Demo ASP.NET Site - Windows Azure VM2"
Now we will browse the URL and see how applications are serving from different VM and how load balancing in windows Azure Virtual Machine works.

Whether you're on the road for just a few short weeks, or perhaps on a longer world jaunt, and looking for a little purpose in life - or just a reason to get out of bed before 2 pm each day - you might find yourself falling for the allure of a travel job.
Sure, most aren't exactly glamorous and they certainly aren't well paid - if at all - but working with other travellers does build a certain sense of comradery, and you'll get to make new friends all day long and probably hook up with some of them as well - definitely some perks to be had!
Aside from that, here are just about all the all the other great reasons to get a travel job we can think of.
A chance to burn off the beer belly
"Going backpacking is a great way to lose weight"... said no one ever. In fact, for most, the combinations of late night street food and endless Beer-O'Clocks takes it toll on the waistline.
With that in mind, getting a job on a farm gives you just as much chance to catch the rays as it does on the beach, but with the added backbreaking labour to counteract those calories. And, actually, it's not always backbreaking - with the right skills you might find yourself driving a tractor, fixing machinery or even looking after the animals. All wonderful stuff we say.
You might actually help a good cause… or at least someone
Charity fundraising is another popular job in some parts. Pound the streets, practice your sales skills and know that the money you pull in is going to help a good cause. And, if you can afford to shell out a little money upfront, there are plenty of NGOs and organisations looking for help on a whole range of social issues.
And if that's all a little bit too formal for you, even doing some private language teaching or hanging out at some language exchanges is a chance to help someone better themselves and their career.
You'll build your confidence tenfold
Ever wondered why hostel staff are so goddamn outgoing? Trust us, they don't all start that way. For many, it's a skill learned after repeated nights leading the charge on the hostel pub crawl or keeping the banter levels high during Sunday night pub quiz.
And aside from the obvious benefits of being the centre of attention at any party - confidence and presentation skills are quite well favoured by just about anyone of those dreaded 'real' jobs you might eventually have to go home and do one day
You might actually find the career you really want
Of course, going home might never actually happen if you find yourself having a knack for, and most importantly a passion for the travel job you have. Many a hostel owner or tour company owner started life on the coalface, checking in far-too-eager-to-party travellers at 2 am, or whittling off interesting facts about beautiful church #3 or a city free tour.
If you're thinking of sticking around, network, find other entrepreneurial backpackers keen to work on something and think about crossing the sacred divide from traveller to expat.
Good luck!

Some live life freely; some never stop to worry; some like me constantly attempt at finding the right way to live life. No matter which path you choose, I write today to stress the importance of doing so in the present rather than in the past or for the future.
People ask you to learn from your past and implement it towards your future. In this attempt, we often forget about our present. Present as the name suggests is very much a gift; a gift that life offers you over and over again, a chance to use it right every day. Choices made in the past need not have any bearing on the present no matter how helpless you feel. Choices you make today need not be second guessed no matter how unsure you feel. Make every decision at its merits and demerits visible currently and then, instead of reevaluating your choice, spend time making it into the right decision.
Just recently I heard a lecture on synthetic happiness. Without getting into much detail, I'd like to present the conclusion of the lecture which said, the human mind when not given a choice automatically learns to love and be happy regarding its decisions and the outcomes of those decisions. By restricting yourself from second guessing yourself, you will allow your brain to inherently make you happy regarding your choices. This may convince you, it may not, but simply try it out and the results will speak for themselves.
Now that we can stop worrying about the decisions we just made, let's focus on the worries that crowd our mind regarding decisions we need to make. I'll share a little bit about myself; some of you may relate to it closely, some may have had a completely different experience. Growing up, life was blissful and tension free till about 9th grade. Till then scoring in exams, behaving like a good kid at school, brat at home, not planning for more than a minute in the future was the extent of my life. Until recently, I can't remember another phase better than those days. I am sure you all agree to the childhood years being the very best. It got me thinking, how to reproduce the same kid in you while taking on the responsibilities of a grown up?
Beginning of 9th grade, life's so called responsibilities started sequentially lining themselves up. Scoring the very best in 10th grade was important to get into a good junior college. Scoring the very best in 12th grade was imperative for getting into a good college. Doing well in college was so necessary to get a great job. Early on, my focus had already been faltering from the widely accepted Indian theory of: follow a great career path at any cost. After my admissions overseas for college, I had begun to slack in my 12th grade preparation and convinced myself on living a multiple goal driven life. Without losing sight of a career, I focused on jumping the band wagon on the social triumphant happy looking genre of life.
All this rambling, I guess, just to make the point that live in the present, do what comes to heart, convince yourself about your choices and you can convince anyone else. Stop worrying about the next step, stop worrying about the bad phases of the past, breathe freely, enjoy today as it will only last for so long. In the idiotic but true words from the movie Rang de Basanti, "ek tang to past main hai dujee future main, tabhi to beech main moot rahey hai.."(With one leg in the past and another in the future, we seem to be peeing on our present).

The initials W. T. G. and the address "Nichols, London" are respectively engraved on the two sides of the folding arms of the compass, but it is not clear whether they corresponding to the maker or the original owner of the compass. The instrument is made of lacquered German silver and steel, the screw topped lead box is made of ivory.
This type of folding compass is considered to be invented by David Napier (1785 - 1873) in 1848, and hence the name. It has been described by W. F. Stanley in his 1878 book, A Descriptive Treatise On Mathematical Drawing Instruments, as
... perhaps the best and most popular kind of pocket compasses, their especial merit being their compact form,
... they are a difficult instrument to make perfectly.
I have acquired a Napier compass by Stanley London also, which is indeed very well made and of the same style and construction as this one, but the size is notably smaller.

A few days after the graduation, I got to hang out with the "Shuwaa" boys. Don't ask me what that word means, I couldn't tell you. But that's what Tolu and his three close friends in Ghana call themselves. Unfortunately, the fourth one is in the U.K., missing out on all the fun (Hi, Enoch) 🙂

this makes me so nostalgic! i miss the shuwaa boys and akua and ebo. such a complete crew 🙂
Lovely pictures! I know you must be bubbling with joy.
This is very nice, but its magnificance has been woefully undermined by my absence. Initially When you hinted these photographs where going to be posted for my benefited, I thought of making a perfect bonfire out of them. But seeing my boys, the joy and the awe of it overwhelmed me. Boy! do I want to cry. I… missed… my own graduation… 😦 … sob..sob…sob…!!! And I will never have this moment again, even a ceremony after the Master degree will not compensate for this lose… sob..sob… 😦 Anyway, I am happy my boys had fun. And yes graduated and we bloody deserve it.. A fist in the air for SHUWAA!!!! We rule!!! 🙂
** I think Akua should go on a diet, She is quite in excess :D**
That soup looks delicious! I would love to know the recipe. It looks similar to a soup found here in Mexico.
I wonder if he could move after eating that bowl of soup. I'd be dead to the world after that. 🙂

Collegehumor.com parody: Charlie and the Apple Factory
Collegehumor.com, as usual, has made another Apple parody video. In their re-imagination of ''Charlie and the Apple Factory", Steve Jobs has awarded iTickets to several lucky winners who won the opportunity to find out what makes Apple products so special. Bill Gates has a cameo in the video but I think the Collegehumor producers haven't met him recently since the likeness wasn't there....

Understanding How Stair Lifts Work in the Home
Wednesday, 25 May 2016 15:31:51 Europe/London
One of the main reasons why disability continues to be such an emotive issue is because we don't like to imagine or think about life without independence. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable, simply because they're scared of how they'd cope if it happened to them. Yet, the reality is that people with disabilities don't just cope, they thrive and flourish like everybody else if they have the right support. This might mean a mobility scooter, a specially designed bathroom, or something very common like a stair lift. With high quality designs and specialised tools, life can be made easier for disabled individuals. If you struggle with mobility issues, it's time to stop asking if you can and start assuming – sometimes, all it takes is the right product to open up your world. This handy little guide to stair lifts will explain how they work and why they can be so valuable for older people and those who struggle with mobility problems.

One of the key problems facing all businesses is collections - getting paid can be especially problematic for small businesses that depend on consistent cash flow. The ultimate redress for collecting a bad business debt is the court system which is often slow, inefficient and expensive.
Effic Business Services help you collect your commercial debt in an efficient way which will avoid costly delays and help improve your cash flow. Our Account Managers have an in depth know-how and ability to collect business debts maintaining a delicate balance between recovering money from our clients debtor while still trying to maintain good relationships between both parties.
No matter what type of commercial debts, we will always focus on the debtor quickly and work hard until you are paid what is owed to you. We make all attempts to recover your business debt before making a decision to go legal.
With Effic's commercial debt collection services, you can be rest assured that we will:
We determine our collection strategy based on the treatment plans and management rules that we have previously set together with our client.
Effic's third party global collections include these processes:
At Effic, we believe that recoveries should be handled by our own people, who are trained and supervised by us.
When an in-house collection does not provide the necessary results on its own, a representative from the collection team will contact our partner law firm whose jurisdiction covers a certain debtor's situation. We will carefully analyze the possible partners that will be able to give us the necessary results for concluding a collection. When we hire an affiliate attorney to take care of an account, that person will be asked to recover the debt in a friendly fashion, without taking any sort of legal actions.
In a scenario where neither an in-house collection nor friendly attorney actions provide the necessary results, a litigation process is started. Without the necessary results from the first two steps, a lawsuit is considered in order to accomplish a collection. An attorney will evaluate the case and recommend a course of action and provide the required fee and court costs. This cost information is then passed on to our client for close consideration, as no law suit will be filled until the client has approved of it.
Work with our competent, professional team closely in order to improve your recovery rates. Visit our "contact" page, so that you can talk to someone about all the details if you still have any questions about our debt collection services.
Get in touch with our professionals and recover your debts in a hassle free manner.

Want to write for Shindig? We've got budget for a few freelance posts each month, and we'd like to hear your ideas.
Our rate is $20 USD per article. It's not a lot, we know, but it's what we can afford as a relatively small site. It'll also be a chance to build up your writing experience and portfolio, and to get feedback and help from an editor with many years experience. It could also be a chance to experiment with new styles of writing and coverage of different things, if that appeals to you.
At Shindig we very much believe in letting people write what they want to, in their own voice; to that end, we don't really have strict editorial guidelines for you to conform to. If you want more in-depth editing or help with a piece, we're happy to give it.
We're particularly interested in getting pitches for the TV, film, comics, sections. That doesn't mean we won't hear pitches for other sections, though, or even for something that doesn't have a section at all! If your piece broadly fits within the sphere of "pop culture", then it has a potential home at Shindig.
We especially want to hear from women, people of colour, queer people, and people with disabilities. Your voice is important, and we want to give you a platform.
Shindig is based in New Zealand, but we're open to writers from all over the world.
If you're interested, please send an email to email@example.com. If you're sending a pitch, please include "Pitch" in the subject line (and a couple of writing samples, if possible). Even if you don't have any ideas pinned down, feel free to get in touch and we can talk things through.
You can also get in touch with us on Twitter, at @ShindigNZ or @MC_Odd. Direct Messages are open on both accounts.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Direct actionists are sometimes faulted for not doing, or not doing well, all the other things needed besides sitting on the road. The Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action is a model for doing everything well, as I experienced last week in the Seattle area in connection with a trial of the "Ground Zero Three."
From January 22 to January 26, 2007, three individuals with the Ground Zero Center - Brian Watson, CarolAnn Barrows, and Shirley Morrison - were on trial in a local court in Port Orchard, Washington, for their anti-Trident direct actions in May and August of 2006. They were charged with the misdemeanor of obstructing traffic into the Trident nuclear submarine base at Bangor, Washington, "without lawful authority." Unusually, the judge allowed David Hall, former national president of Physicians for Social Responsibility, and me to offer expert testimony on January 24. The defendants also testified at length about the reasons for their actions. The jury, while sympathetic as revealed by post-trial comments, failed to seize the opportunity and instead convicted, as the Kitsap Sun reported.
Another Kitsap Sun story described my testimony. It is somewhat garbled, but does convey the gist. I certainly did not say that international law allows use of nuclear weapons defensively! Nor did I indicate that citizens who fail to write letters in theory could be convicted of complicity! I did not get to all of it, and simplified quite a lot, but if you're interested here's the written outline of my testimony.
Beyond the trial, the Ground Zero Center is doing a magnificent job of organizing, and participation and interest is on the rise. On January 15, 2007, Martin Luther King Day, 12 people were arrested at the submarine base, with over 200 there in total. In connection with the trial, they organized several events. I did a talk on "From Auschwitz to Trident" on January 20 at the Seattle Town Hall, with about 200 in attendance. You can see it on YouTube; the slides for the talk are here. I also was on Seattle's National Public Radio affiliate KUOW on Jan 24, with a Center for Defense Information expert, Philip Coyle - here's the audio.
It was sobering for me personally, for all the time I spend on these issues, to think about the eight or nine Trident submarines based at Bangor. Based on Natural Resources Defense Council estimates in the Nuclear Notebook, November/December 2006 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, each carries 144 warheads, six per each of the 24 Trident II missiles on a submarine. The warheads mostly are 100 kiloton, about seven times the yield of the bomb with which the U.S. destroyed Hiroshima; some are around 450 kilotons, 30 times the Hiroshima bomb. About one-half of the subs are thought to be on patrol at a given time. The buildup of the more capable Trident II missiles in the Pacific clearly is aimed at exerting additional leverage on China, with the posture of readiness to actually wage nuclear war by striking enemy nuclear forces familiar from the Cold War era. For more on this, see the January-February 2007 Nuclear Notebook by Robert Norris and Hans Kristensen.
