When you're walking down the beauty aisle at your local store, it can feel overwhelming when you're faced with so many options for skin care products and other cosmetics. What most people don't know is that their beauty products could actually be causing harmful side effects that they're unaware of. Most beauty products are full of chemicals and additives that could increase people's risk for health-related side effects. In a previous blog, we discussed common additives and chemicals that can be found in beauty products and why you should avoid them. Today, we'd like to talk about why natural skin care products are a better alternative and how using natural skin care products could actually benefit you.
How Are Natural Skin Care Products Better For Me?
Better For Your Health
In case you didn't know, what you put on your skin will eventually find its way into your body. Your skin absorbs the lotions, creams, cosmetics, fragrances, and even the materials that you expose your body to for prolonged periods of time. To ensure that your body isn't absorbing things, like harmful additives and chemicals, using natural products can go a long way in reducing your exposure to toxicity from the products you use. The elements found in most skin care products are treated like foreign elements to your body. Your body doesn't know how to use chemicals and synthetic additives, so these elements often lead to things like allergic reactions, skin sensitivities, and other irritations. When you use natural skin care products, your body won't be so confused about what to do with the elements that are entering your body through your skin.
Better For The Environment
When your skin care products are all-natural, you eliminate the need for synthetic materials for your products to be made, which reduces the environmental impact that the chemicals have on the earth. Our natural skin care products, here at Avanti Rx, are 100 percent plant-based and we only use the highest quality of ingredients that aren't harmful to your skin or your body, so you can rest assured that they're not bad for the environment either. Avanti Rx is also 100 percent committed to cruelty-free skin care products. All of our products have been certified by Leaping Bunny, as well as approved by PETA. Our products are never tested on animals, and they are also vegan-friendly.
Better Results
Because natural skin care products are made with higher quality, natural ingredients, they produce better results for both your skin and your health when you use them. A lof of natural or organic skin care products can be found on the market today, however, at Avanti Rx, our skin care products are both natural and physician-grade. This means that you will get the benefit of using natural skin care products that are better for your health and for the environment, but you will also get the benefit of skin care products that actually work to improve the appearance of blemishes, reduce the appearance of age spots, and to restore moisture to your skin.
When you choose to use our natural skin care products, there are even more ways that you'll benefit:
- Our products won't cause irritation or inflammation
- Our products won't clog your pores
- Our products can work for any skin type
- Our products can work for all pigments
- Our products are safe and effective for all ages
If you've been thinking about switching from conventional skin care products to all-natural skin care products, Avanti Rx has the products that you need for a healthy skin care routine. Shop our line of natural skin care products now!

What is AMD doing? Well, they are evolving technology instead of milking a monopoly and using horrible dirty methods to destroy competition, and free market. AMD will still be long time in jeopardy. Intel however has huge amount of income and capital, and it will be at least financially competitive for years and years.

Not gonna lie. Least favorite WAN show. I feel like Linus is giving Alex a hard time.

I think Alex did awesome. 👏

Oh, Linus, Linus, Linus. Give AMD a break. I can't believe you were so hostile towards AMD over a damn video card, the RX590. You went on and on and on about disrespecting you with your abilities and tech knowledge. AMD will be releasing very classy cpu's and gpu's very soon and your audience will recall your comments and then dismiss the new technology introduced by AMD due to your rage and anger. Your comments were that horrendous. Please, give AMD the respect they deserve. If it weren't for AMD with their Ryzen release just over a year and a half ago, can you imagine still using 4 core mainstream cpu's produced by Intel today or the outrageously overpriced 8 core variants for $2,000 or more let alone the server chips where Intel charge $11,000 for a 24 core sku compared to AMD'a $7,000 for a 64 core sku. AMD have introduced great technology and even better pricing over the past year and a half. They are "keeping those bastards honest" (an Aussie expression). Nvidia received barely a whimper over their overpriced RTX cards followed by an endemic of failed cards. Be fair. State your point and let it go.
There are many AMD fans who will be disappointed with your outlook towards their favorite tech company.
Based on your expert opinion then, the 2700X must be a rebranded 1700X, the only real difference is a small node shrink. No, it isn't you say.....then the RX590 is also not a refresh of the RX580.

No matter what companies say the desktop market will always be more valuable than the Datacenter market and that's what AMD needs to conquer.
A datacenter may carry 100K processors but there are only a few around the world and they don't upgrade their systems everyother year as I do, and so does many people. There are more then a billion households around the planet and even if only 10% change system every year that's 100 million new cpus every year.
It as always been more profitable to sell a lot of products with a small margin of profit then selling small quantities with larger margins.
How do we know that is very simple. Fiat owns Ferrari and not the other way around.
Unless your taking about idiots who buy overpriced shity apple products but, there's always an exception to the rule. Hopefully that won't last forever. Hopefully.

If you guys were looking for a MacBook Air with the quad-core Intel CPUs it already exists! The 13in MBP is thin and has a better(more color accurate and brighter )screen and with 2 or even 4 thunderbolt ports. Thought none of the MacBooks have touch screens, I feel as a MacBook Pro user myself, that the massive(and don't mind when I say sublime) track pad I don't miss the touch screen.
Also if Apple is locking out Linux from its computers it's just awful. One of the reasons use a Mac is because it supports all 3 major operating systems.
These are my thoughts I hope you consider the 13in MBP!

Time Stamp: 16:00 Intel is still surviving off of what eventually is Sandy Bridge Tech still pushed out today!!!! And That's the truth, they have been surviving off of Old Tech and God Like Advertising and Market share for the last 10 years, Especially the last 7 year's, because they haven't invented any thing meaningful and relevant in a long time.... It actually hurt's them to sell us an over priced 8 Core /16 thread CPU at a rip off price of $600 Dollar's..

data centers getting more virtualized and virtual machines are usually spaced out by number of cores. The more cores a bare metal server has the more VMs it can have. System admins also like vendor diversity, so sysadmins have been eagerly awaiting and to do something like this. I don't think intel likes the idea of selling less processors with more cores and less accompanying chip sets. They have probably been trying to limit the core count not to shoot themselves in the foot. AMD comes along and gives huge core counts and Intel is now seeing it can lose market share it, they are scrambling to get core count up. I hope this doesn't start to be a race of the cores where was get processors with lots of crappy cores.

NFL x Intel: What's in a Play?
Intel TrueView uses 5k stadium cameras, massive processing power, and a proprietary algorigthm to deliver NFL replays in 360°. This allows fans and commentators to break down the biggest plays from every angle. Which is exactly what we did.
What's in a Play?
Intel's sports group asked us for a social campaign to feature the NFL True View highlights each week. Our campaign, "What's in a Play?" turned the highlights themselves into celebrations of the best NFL moments (big and small) that make the season memorable. We broke down every pass, catch, tackle, sack, twist, and turn into a weekly series of social films that let fans see every side of the play.
Highlights lose relevance quickly, so we had to deploy a quick, nimble production approach. It was a good excuse to spend Sunday watching football.
Our goal was to break the NFL by flooding them with content. We averaged 10 produced films per week and after Week 3, they asked us to slow down. We didn't.
Influencer Strategy
We worked with NFL players featured in our films to share the clips with their fans and show off their biggest plays.

That dreaded disorder the afflicts so many of our service men and women…..well okay but this PTSD means "Peace Through Strength Doctrine".
Trump has been pushing this slogan for over a year….it goes well with his con job of "Make America Great Again"…….but that is all it is…..a slogan and a racket…….
Donald Trump has embraced the popular "peace through strength" doctrine (PTSD) with his characteristic panache:
"I'm going to make our military so big, so powerful, so strong, that nobody – absolutely nobody – is gonna to mess with us," Trump says. On other occasions he's said similar things: "We want to defer, avoid and prevent conflict through our unquestioned military strength" (same link) and, a year ago, "Nobody is going to mess with us. Nobody. It will be one of the greatest military buildups in American history."
I will acknowledge that the PTSD has surface appeal. Why not show the world the United States is so awesomely powerful that no one in his right mind would even think to get on its wrong side? It seems to make sense in a practical sort of way.
Make war to preserve the peace……another silly slogan.
Like I say slogans to try and get the approval of the people….make them think there is a threat and they then will accept massive spending on weapons and ordinance that we do not need for their protection.

School has started, and I know a number of my friends and family's kids have already started to get sick - and because sharing is caring - it's only a matter of time before everyone starts having symptoms. In this blog, I will be talking about 3 things that you can implement to Boost your Immune System, but first, let's talk about the immune system.
Everyone talks about the immune system, but how does it work? The immune system is split up into 2 different parts: the Innate and Adaptive Immune System. The Innate System is the system that fights the infection first, it is the faster part of the immune system. It is made up of physical barriers (eg. skin, and GI tract, etc), defence mechanisms (eg. mucous, bile, gastric acid, sweat, etc), and a general immune response (eg. inflammation, complement system (where the pathogen is marked and then punches are holes into their membrane to kill the pathogen), and non-specific cellular responses). The Innate System is non-specific, and is the general response to foreign bodies (the "not you") markers. It has a number of different types of white blood cells working for it (eg. macrophages, phagocytes, NK cells, etc.) (Khan Academy). The Adaptive Immune System, on the other hand, has fewer cells working for it, these cells would be the B and T cells, and it works with antibodies and cytotoxic cells. This response is slower to respond to a pathogen, and is more specific because your body builds up memories of a past pathogen and can create defence specifically for that pathogen - this is the system vaccines use to create immunity (Khan Academy).
Medicinal Mushrooms
I love medicinal mushrooms. They're are absolutely amazing, and are able to regulate the immune system through their high concentrations of beta-glucan. Beta-glucan is able to work with the immune system and enhancing the immune cells that kill microbes, and clean up the dead cells (Akramiene D, et al). Mushrooms work on the immune system depending on what it needs - making it immunomodulating. Also, the way the mushroom is extracted can affect the way it interacts with your immune system. Alcohol extraction of a mushroom inhibits cytotoxicity. This means that it decreases the amount of toxins released in your body. Alcohol extraction can also affect the number of receptors on a cell surface. While water extraction enhances NK cell cytotoxic activity - NK cells are the cells that act like assassins, and are able to distinguish which cells have been sabotaged (by a virus or becoming a cancer cell), and kill them via apoptosis. Water extraction also stimulates the expression and production of cytolytic proteins, which allows it to kill cells by "cutting them" (Lu C, et al; Journal of Hematology & Oncology). These mechanisms allow mushrooms to support your immune system and help them fight pathogens more effectively and efficiently, to decrease the chances of getting sick or decrease the duration of the illness.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is known for its immune-supportive abilities, especially since several immune cells need it to function. It supports the external barrier that we all have (our skin), by protecting us from environmental stress by acting as an antioxidants (Ströhle A, et al). When taking vitamin C, it can be interesting to see what your bowel tolerance is. Bowel tolerance is the dose needed to make you have looser stools or diarrhea, because taking too much vitamin C can cause diarrhea. This is interesting to know because when you are sick (Ströhle A, et al), your bowel tolerance increases. This is amazing, since your immune cells sequester vitamin C when you are sick, and it is able to utilize it more because they are working harder, and need more of it (Carr AC, et al). Taking vitamin C as a preventative measure, and in conjunction with treatment(s) can help support your immune system during times where several people around you are getting sick.
Astragalus is one of my favourite herbs when it comes to immune system health. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is seen to be able to defend the Wei Qi (the defensive barrier around us), and as a result, prevent anything from coming into your body to cause illness. However, saying that, if you do get sick, it also doesn't let anything back out, and as a result, you should stop taking Astragalus when you are sick. As a herb, Astragalus has immunomodulating, immune boosting, and anti-inflammatory effects - though the mechanism is unclear (Qi Y, et al; Guo Z, et al). It is able to modulate the immune system systemically and through the GI tract - where 70-80~% of the immune system is (Lim JD, et al). It's long history and use in Asia, and recent and ongoing studies make it a very promising herb that you can implement easily into your daily routine for this cold and flu season as a preventative tonic.
For more tips on how to maintain and promote a healthy immune system, check out Back to School - Strengthening Your Little One's Immune System.

Downtown Framework Study: Sheyenne Street and Main Avenue Corridors (2010-2011)
Joe Nigg, Community Development Planner
Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments
Funded by a federal grant, the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments secured the assistance of Centro Inc. to develop a comprehensive framework analysis and report for the downtown West Fargo area of the metropolitan region, which sits at the crossroads of two major transit corridors. This study aimed to identify the revitalization and redevelopment potential of the area by exploring niche and positioning strategies, economic conditions, transportation and land use capacity and retail market gaps and opportunities through extensive market research and stakeholder outreach.
The primary goal of the study was to define growth potential and what the future character of that development might be to ensure economic competitiveness and continued vitality and vibrancy for the community and region. Utilizing a comprehensive team of select consulting professionals, Centro Inc. developed a growth strategy for the study area that defines a unique niche, retail and commercial growth opportunities, land use and density improvements, and the utilization of public sector incentives (e.g. TIF, tax abatements, parcel assembly) and private sector investment models (e.g. BIDs, CDCs, etc.) to revitalize an area that has seen little growth in the last 10-20 years.

On Monday, April 13th, friends and supporters of Great Basin National Park gathered at the Great Basin Visitor Center in Baker, Nevada, to acknowledge the substantial gift made by NV Power to the Great Basin National Park Foundation.
Representatives from NV Power â Karen Ross, Mary Simmons, and Mark Severts â presented a poster-sized check showing the total amount donated to the Foundation to date â a sum of $190,000. This donation has helped to fund the new exhibits at the visitor center, a project with a total cost of $1.1 million, much of which has been raised by the Foundation.

Domestic cricket at Kensington Oval could be changing with the use of technology.
Chief Executive Officer of KOMI, Ben Toppin, told Barbados TODAY that among the initiatives they were exploring was the possibility of specialised point of view cameras on batsmen and even umpires to give spectators a new "look" at the game.
"I have not pushed it because one, it is not sanctioned for international cricket at this point in time, and secondly, I don't want to be taking the feed when the umpire comes off the field. I am still researching on the right equipment that will allow us to stream that video, so we see what the umpire sees…, but so we have the option, if it is something clear cut, of sending clear footage of what the umpire sees and maybe what the batsman sees. We are seeing something, but maybe he is seeing something else. We may see that ball rising towards the batsman.
"You are probably not going to get a sanction for that in international cricket anytime soon, but it has always been my view that any match at Kensington, wherever possible, we should have footage of everything and because we don't have the capital to invest in the large cameras and so on, that should not stop us from recording the actual activities of the batsmen," he said, adding it could help coaches and batsmen in improving the game as well.
He said he remembered Alan Stanford-supported games putting mics on fielders and he wanted to take that concept further to find a way to bring the spectator even closer to the game.
"The other consideration is that there is a reason we hold the board static when the bowler is running in. You don't want anything that is going to distract the man at slip. So we might want to cut it at some point in time, but we will work it out. The details of how to show the spectators what the batsmen see without distracting the game. We may put it on a delay, so that just after he hits the ball, they see what he saw.
The point is that we should be in a position, and technology can help us with that, to see everything the batsman sees in a domestic game and capture everything the empire sees."
Toppin said though that he was still exploring "the right components that will enable us to transmit to the screen in a cost effective manner", maintaining that it was doable.
He said already there were countries coming to Barbados to see about how officials managed the big screen during major cricket tournaments, adding that this was all part of the spectator enjoyment KOMI was trying to enhance.
Most of the spectators at Twenty20 games, he said, were not necessarily die-hard cricket fans, but families who came for the atmosphere and the entertainment.
As such he argued that anything that could make the spectator feel more involved, including seeing themselves on the big screen, could help to grow the game and entertain the crowds that attended. He recalled taking the Barbados big screen system to Antigua to show how it worked there, and even getting enquiries from Trinidad about the system.
"What they have to understand is that our system is not a cricket system, that is not what was purchased. We would have integrated other elements into it, to make it what it is.
That screen is very, very important to the spectator experience. So we had to modify it – start with a basic system and modify it to be a little more in keeping with what you would find at a modern facility, be it cricket or anything else."(LB)

Even though Courtney Pine plays saxophone instead of trumpet, his first recordings showcased him as England's answer to Wynton Marsalis: a young, gifted black jazzman committed to the music's tradition and willing to convince others of the respect it deserved. This proved especially novel in 1980s Britain, where jazz remained a basically white domain and young black musicians tended to dive right into ska, reggae, and funk. But Pine showed from the start that he had absorbed John Coltrane's lessons. Especially comfortable on the mid-tempo lopes that Coltrane popularized, Pine unfurls a robust tone on both tenor and soprano saxes, and more than almost all his contemporaries, he seeks and sometimes finds a spiritual focus of concentration in his solos. Pine has a solid history of experimentation, which includes the Jazz Warriors (his African-inspired big band of years past) and a reggae project that paid homage to his Jamaican heritage. But Pine may have struck gold with Modern Day Jazz Stories (Antilles), on which he infuses his solid jazz foundation with the spirit of hip-hop: John Coltrane meets LL Cool J. In contrast to most of the heralded "bebop to hip-hop" junk finding its way into print, Stories poses a literate new-beat alternative to straight-ahead jazz. Among other things, Pine realizes that jazz needs to flow organically, unlike the rigid beat of hip-hop; his album involved no overdubbing, giving the rhythms a chance to breathe with one another. In Stories Pine includes rap beats, record scratches, and rhythmically recurring samples, but mixes them behind his darkly vibrant tenor solos. In so doing he has successfully recast his jazz message for the 90s without drowning it out altogether. Pine will open the show for the modern-jazz diva Cassandra Wilson, who, true to her name, seems to have forecast the future of vocal music with her startling synthesis of modern jazz, classic blues, and a variety of pop rhythms set in a folky string-band setting.

Kristen Holt
Head Coach
Kristen Holt was appointed the ninth head coach in UTSA women's basketball history on August 12, 2017.
In her first season as head coach, Holt led a team that finished third in the conference in rebounding offense and offensive rebounds, as well as second in blocked shots. The Roadrunners finished the season with a 9-21 overall record and 6-10 in the C-USA. Holt guided UTSA to the second round of the conference tournament, which hadn't been done since the 2013-14 season.
Prior to serving as the head coach, she was the program's associate head coach from 2013-17.
As associate head coach, Holt oversaw all aspects of the UTSA program from recruiting, scheduling opponents, film breakdown, scouting reports and guard development.
In 2016-17, she helped guide the Roadrunners to a league-leading defensive field-goal percentage of .385. UTSA also ranked second in C-USA in fewest turnovers and third in steals.
Holt was instrumental in leading the Roadrunners to the program's only two wins over nationally ranked opponents. The feat first happened during the 2014-15 campaign when UTSA edged No. 24 WKU by a score of 64-63. The Roadrunners upset No. 25 UTEP, 69-64, to end the 2015-16 regular season.
Holt has mentored several notable players during her tenure at UTSA, including Kamra King, who holds the program record for most starts at 118 and also ranks second with 240 steals and third with 1,367 career points.
The Roadrunners also have found success in the classroom, as the team has earned two consecutive C-USA Sport Academic Awards for the best team GPA in the league in 2016 and 2017.
Prior to her time at UTSA, Holt was the head coach at Colorado State from 2008-12. The Rams consistently moved up the Mountain West Conference (MWC) standings, including a 9-5 record and third-place finish in 2011-12, the highest MWC finish for CSU since 2003-04. Holt took over the head-coaching role at Colorado State following the 2007-08 season on an interim basis before having the interim tag removed following the 2008-09 season. Prior to being promoted to the interim head coach position, Holt spent the 2007-08 season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Rams.
Kim Mestdagh (first team), Sam Marting (second team) and Meghan Heimstra (Sixth Woman of the Year) each earned All-MWC recognition during Holt's final season in Fort Collins. In addition to her coaching duties, she organized Colorado State's High Hoops Club, a 90-member women's basketball booster club.
Prior to her tenure at Colorado State, Holt served on Jane Albright's staff at Wichita State from 2003-07. Holt assisted in all aspects of recruiting, scouting, film breakdown and the planning of summer basketball camps for the Shockers. Holt also coordinated the Shockers High Hoops Club and the Jane's Gems Kids Club.
Before her time in Wichita, Holt was an assistant coach at Radford from 1995-2001. In her first two seasons as an assistant, Radford won the Big South Conference Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Highlanders also placed second in the nation for team GPA in 2000-01. She was promoted to interim head coach during the 2001-02 season and earned 2002 Big South Conference Coach of the Year honors.
Holt began her coaching career at Xavier in 1993-94 and helped guide the Musketeers to a Midwestern Collegiate Conference Championship.
Holt entered the coaching ranks following a distinguished playing career at Ohio, where she was a four-year letterwinner, two-year captain and part of the 1988 Mid-American Conference All-Freshman Team.
As a senior at Bath High School in Lima, Ohio, Holt was named first-team All-Ohio and the Class AA State Tournament MVP in 1987 after leading the Wildcats to the state title. Holt also was a 1987 AAU All-American.
She graduated from Ohio with a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1992 and completed her master's degree in athletic administration a year later.

Indivisible: Conejo's Issue Action Team on Education encourages members to call our Senators today, urging them to vote NO on the Senate version of a House bill that would gut accountability rules for states evaluating the performance of their public schools. Civil rights advocates warn that the bill would endanger the prospects for disadvantaged children, and students with disabilities, to receive an adequate education.
House Joint Resolution 57, passed in that chamber last week, rolls back a regulation that was written by the Department of Education as part of implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). That law, the successor to No Child Left Behind, passed with bipartisan majorities -- and many of its provisions, including those concerning school accountability, focus on historically underserved students such as those from low-income families and those with disabilities. Now, however, Republicans want to narrow the federal government's role in its implementation. The rule in question defines the ways in which states must determine which schools are serving students well, and which are struggling. Without it, civil rights groups say, individual states will be able to make their own rules -- with some likely to use that freedom to hide the academic performance of disadvantaged and disabled students, in an effort to get around ESSA requirements that all students be given equal opportunities to receive a good education.
In other words, without this rule, states will have more latitude to leave behind those children who don't learn as easily -- poorer students, students with Down Syndrome, and children with other physical and mental disabilities. Let's urge our Senators to reject this bill that places simplistic right-wing ideology over the right of every child to a good education.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein
Sen. Kamala Harris
Sample Script:
Hello, my name is _______. I am one of Sen. ____________'s constituents in ____________, California. I'm calling to urge her to vote NO when the Senate takes up House Joint Resolution 57. America's commitment to public education -- and the bipartisan will of Congress when it passed the Every Student Succeeds Act -- demands that every public school provides equal opportunities for every student to receive a good education, including disadvantaged children and those with Down Syndrome and other disabilities. Thank you!

Sub-glacial shake-up
Nature Geoscience
Thousands of earthquakes occurred in rapid succession under an Antarctic glacier over a nine month period between 2002 and 2003, reports a study published online in Nature Geoscience this week. The findings suggest that tidal motion can influence sub-glacial seismicity.
Lucas Zoet and colleagues analysed seismic activity under a large glacier in East Antarctica that drains into the Ross Sea, using data collected between 2002 and 2003. They identified about 20,000 seismic events during this period, which occurred at regular intervals about 25 minutes apart. The magnitude of the shaking was large, compared to typical subglacial quakes.
The researchers suggest that the movement of the glacier over a rough patch of rock generated the significant sub-glacial shaking. They attribute the regularity of these events to the modulation of glacier movement by ocean tides.

One of the topics I have found myself discussing at length with a number of customers of late is the impact of the big market trends on how their IT department is organized and how their various processes flow. Trends such as Virtualization, Cloud Computing, Converged Infrastructure, Advanced Analytics and Application Performance Monitoring all have an impact on IT orgs, and while each one impacts how IT works in their own way, there are consistent themes that have emerged.
"Break down the silos" or "implement a silo-bridging function" is one of the consistent themes. All of the trends listed really need a new view on the IT organization structure to be most effective and successful. The traditional IT org included silos or domains of expertise that aligned with technology components. The server team, network team, storage team, DBAs, sys admins, application admins, etc. are very commonly found in most IT organizations. However, for example, APM (application performance monitoring) seeks specifically to provide a consolidated and correlated view across these types of domains. Really to get the best out of your APM tools, handle escalations and diagnosis across domains, and truly focus on something like the end-user experience, you have to either break down those silos and align by business process or application, OR you have to have an APM team that understands the broader picture and is tasked with calling in the right domain experts at the right time to understand, interpret and react to what the APM tools are saying.
Converged Infrastructure holds a similar impact. These powerful, highly engineered platforms mostly are developed to be operated and administered by a single team that aligns with the machine's purpose (DBAs for a database machine like Oracle Exadata, virtualization experts for something like VBlock). However, the engineering in these machines really needs the expertise of highly skilled domain experts in networking, storage, compute, database administration, etc. So, should the org be aligned with the converged infrastructure platform? Or perhaps, again, should there be a "bridge" team that understands the platform and calls in specialists as needed?
Even something as well understood as virtualization really should cause IT leaders to pause and take a fresh look at their organizational design. Virtualization moves us away from "server managers" and moves us into "environment orchestrators." No longer are the core administrators focused on what is running on the box they are responsible for, but rather are focused on what combination of pooled resources will best fit the needs of this virtualized workload.
So, what are you doing in your IT organization model? Are you continuing to have silos or domains and adding a bridge team to coordinate? Or are you moving toward a business or function alignment? These trends will continue to emerge and evolve. If you haven't thought about the organizational impact, now appears to be the time!

Fettuccine Carbonara Alfredo
I struggled with the name of this post/dish…can you tell? From what I understand, it's technically neither of the things I named it. It is fettuccine. Of that I am certain. It's not carbonara. Carbonara is a pasta, usually spaghetti, fettuccine, or sometimes rigatoni, made with bacon or ham, eggs and cream. Sometimes also cheese although I have seen an Italian site that says traditional carbonara is not made with cream at all. That's an American injustice. They were very adamant. It's also not technically alfredo since that's pasta with parmesan cheese and butter. Since mine has all those and more, I named it both. It's my recipe so I can do that. I'm allowed. Let me introduce you to the "new" classic Fettuccine Carbonara Alfredo. Your mouth will thank me…your behind will not.
When I think of pasta, these are the things I always think about with it. I am not a big red gravy person. Yes, I said red gravy. My husband has me calling it that and most Italians I know say that also. It makes me feel cool.
My pictures today aren't the best. By that I mean that I left just about everything out of them but I'll do you a huge favor and list them in the printable at the bottom. You don't HAVE to have a visual this time, do ya?
I used fresh fettuccine pasta. It's my favorite. No, I did not make it. I bought it. I'm lazy. And heavy cream because the pasta asked for it. (I'm in a rare mood today, can you tell?)
I also knew I HAD to add prosciutto and parmesan and peas (or those were the first things in my photos) but as I was cooking, I added several other things. All my favorites. Some shredded four-cheese blend and also one of my favorite cheeses, Asiago. Did you know that real Asiago is only made in Italy in two regions? I bought Asiago D'Allevo this time and it's awarder, aged cheese that's full of flavor. Asiago is designated DOP (protected denomination of origin) which is the top tier and means that products are produced exclusively in very limited and strictly defined areas. This is done so that consumers like us are guaranteed that the products we buy are exactly what's specified on the label. Whoa! That's some special cheese. I'm becoming a cheese connoisseur I think.
The Hubs bought me an organic basil plant the other day and I LOVE HIM! Both the man and the plant! Look how pretty. So I made sure I added fresh basil.
I find I say this a lot. I've even started to wonder how correct I am. "This is a really simple recipe." Is it really or is it because I cook all the time and I'm used to the steps? I'm not sure but I did think this recipe was fairly simple although you be the judge. Let me know though because I'm curious!
Look how delicious! Can you really resist???
- 1 package fresh fettuccine pasta (8-10 ounce package)
- 1 package frozen peas (12 ounces), thawed
- 1 package prosciutto (4 ounces), chopped fine
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, julienned
- 1/2 cup asiago cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup white cheddar, shredded
- 1/2 to 1 cup Sargento brand Chef's Blend Four State Cheddar, (it comes shredded)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Fill a large pot with water, salt it and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt half the butter and sauté the prosciutto until browned and crispy, approximately 6 minutes. Drain on a napkin lines plate and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, add the remaining butter and cook onion until wilted but not browned.
- Add garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cream and cheese reserving 1/4 cup of parmesan and bring to a simmer.
- Let cream/cheese mixture simmer approximately 5 minutes.
- Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions.
- Drain pasta reserving 3-4 tablespoons liquid.
- Turn off the heat on the cheese if you haven't already and add pasta along with prosciutto, thawed peas, basil and salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
- Toss well until all ingredients are coated well.
- If pasta seems dry add reserved water from the pot or additional cream.
- Sprinkle top with basil and remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.
- Serve immediately.
To julienne basil: tear off leaves from plant and layer one on top of the other. Roll the leaves the bottom up creating a long cylinder and starting at the end, slice into small ribbons.
So many things can be added to this pasta dish. What will you add and what will you call it? The decision is yours!
P.S. I am certain there are typographical errors all over this post. For that, I am sorry. It turns out I have spelled FETTUCCINE three different ways. I tried to catch them all but I doubt I was successful and right now I don't really care. Not being mean, just really over that word. Have a nice day!

Broadcasters offer input on U.S. image
Broadcasters on Wednesday pitched the House International Relations
Committee on how the U.S. can best market a positive image of itself overseas.
"We are not trying to instruct the world on the proper culture to have," said Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), chairman of the panel. "We are trying to root out terrorism. We must look at these various cultures and see what we have in common."
The most comprehensive plan came from Norman Pattiz,
founder and chairman of Westwood One and a member of the Broadcasting Board of
Governors, which oversees the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty,
Radio Free Asia and Radio and Television Marti.
Pattiz proposed a "global, research-driven U.S. government broadcasting network that fulfills the missions of both the surrogate radios and the Voice of America by programming their distinct content in state-of-the art 24/7 formats on the channels - FM, AM, audio and video satellite, and shortwave - that our audiences use and we control."
The Broadcasting Board of Governors already has begun
implementing such a plan, proposing to Congress that it fund the Middle East
Radio Network early last spring.
TV writer and producer John Romano - who has produced such TV shows as Third Watch and Dark Angel - said Hollywood should provide countries with "the best of those already-existing shows and movies that are not being seen abroad."
Romano cited his current Third Watch, which portrays police officers, firefighters and paramedics working
and living in New York City.
"At our best, our shows tend to show the diversity, complexity, the multi-voiced quality of American life, with its clash of viewpoints: that clash is the sound of a free society, and it's both the truest and the most attractive picture of ourselves we can provide," Romano said.
He said Hollywood should provide these shows abroad for
free if necessary.
He also suggested developing original programming to purvey America's message, and working with producers and writers in other countries to develop TV shows and movies. - Paige Albiniak

In 2017, Ballentine Architects designed a remodel for the Vernon Residence, a Beach Bungalow in Venice Beach, California. The 1,300 square foot home was reconfigured and the exterior was refinished to preserve the original Craftsman style.
By removing the existing dropped ceilings, BAS utilized the building's footprint without changing the building height. This gives the illusion of an enlarged living area, yet no square footage was added to the home. In vaulting the ceilings and blurring the boundary between inside and outside, the redesigned home has an airy feel that is full of natural light, the perfect combination for the quintessential Beach Bungalow.
The interior of the home was made up of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a small living area and an outdated kitchen. The new design established a few major transformations. One of the dramatic changes, and something you notice immediately upon entering, is the new ceiling height. The vaulted ceilings reveal exposed beams and recessed down lighting, which adds an incredible amount of depth and character to the new space.
Tucked away within the Entryway is a newly designed Powder Room. An additional amenity that doesn't sacrifice any of the newly created open space. Situated near the entry, the Powder Room provides guests a restroom without having to encroach on the private space in the home.
Past the Entryway and Powder Room, the newly configured Great Room combines the existing Living Room and Master Suite into one large open space. The new Living Room incorporates built-in bookcases including a custom work station, as well as a new fireplace for chilly nights.
Additionally, folding glass doors provide access to the front yard, blending the indoor and outdoor living areas seamlessly to create a massive space for entertaining and socializing. New concrete patio pads and fresh landscaping enhance the functionality of the yard encouraging outdoor activities.
At the back of the house was the existing Kitchen. In need of an update, BAS transformed the Kitchen and Laundry Room into the new Master Suite. This provided the opportunity to incorporate new single lite french doors that provide views and direct access to the new fountain at the ensuite Sun Patio.
Another major aspect of the remodel and reconfiguration is the Kitchen. Taking the place of the existing living and dining area, the new linear Kitchen incorporates all new custom cabinetry, a double waterfall edge island and an adorable breakfast nook. Open to the Living Room, the Kitchen completes the Great Room open concept and provides a central gathering space for the home.
Completed in 2018, the Vernon Residence is our favorite Beach Bungalow transformation. View the full gallery here.

New iMac preview: why the 2017 iMac needs to offer Fusion Drives, USB Type-C, and an ergonomicly friendly screen – Macworld UK
We're waiting for Apple to update the iMac, untouched since 2015. Hopefully when Apple announces the new iMac for 2017 it will address some of the problems with the current iMac.
Related: 2015 27in iMac 5K review and 21.5-inch 3.1GHz iMac with Retina 4K
Retina displays across the iMac range
There are two different sizes of iMac, one with a 21.5in screen the other with a 27in screen. The biggest selling point at the time they launched was the 5K display on the 27in version, and the 4K display that arrived with the top-of-the-range 21in model. It is here we are hoping to see the biggest change – with the new iMac sporting a 4K display on all the 21in models, bringing the so-called Retina display to the whole line up.
The current 5K and 4K displays are still excellent even when compared to the competition, so we don't expect to see a lot of change there, but one thing many would like to see in the new model is the addition of DisplayPort 1.3 and Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C (essentially these are one and the same). This would allow users use the iMac's 5K screen with a different computer. The fact that people want to do this demonstrates just how good the screen is considered to be, and also the fact that as 5K (or 4K) monitors go, it's actually quite a bargain. We shall have to see if this is indeed a possibility with the new iMac.
One thing that people have crying out for for generations of iMac is the provision of more ergonomically friendly adjustments. Right now you can only barely adjust the screen, tilting it forwards or backwards very slightly. You can't raise or lower it (unless you have a nice hefty book for it to sit on). If Apple made such adjustments possible we can see an iMac being used like a architects drawing board, which would require another change to the design… the addition of a touch screen.
Will the new iMac have a touch screen?
A touch screen is something some people would like to see happen to the display. These people will probably be disappointed if Apple is sticking with the philosophy of Steve Jobs that using a touch screen iMac would make your arm ache, but there is definitely a desire for touch screen abilities on some Macs. Perhaps this doesn't apply to an iMac, but the ability to use a touch screen would be useful when commuting because using the trackpad on a laptop is difficult when you only have limited space. We can see some designers appreciating the ability to move elements around the screen by touch. We shall see just how important professional creatives are to Apple when the new iMac launches.
Speaking of touch, there is some expectation that some of the features of the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro could come to the iMac, although obviously not through the means of a built in keyboard. Perhaps the Magic Touch Pad (which was introduced with the iMac back in 2015) could incorporate some of the Touch Bar features.
The processor in the new iMac
We expect that the new iMacs will ship with Kaby Lake processors (unless the iMacs don't launch until much later in 2017, in which case you might see Cannonlake processors). Chances are it will be powered by Kaby Lake regardless, because Apple tends to not make a big deal out of having the latest processors if the current line up is anything to go by.
While the current 27in models offer Skylake quad-core i5 chips, the 21in iMac models are still using the old Intel Broadwell chips – which were old even when Apple shipped the 21in iMac. As we said above, this was because Apple the on system graphics chip Apple uses in the 21in iMac wasn't available for Skylake at the time the machines launched. It does mean that anyone thinking of buying a new 21in iMac would be wise to wait until Apple launches the new range for 2017 as these are likely to jump two processors. Even worse, the current entry-level model ships with a 1.6GHz Core i5-5250U processor, which is a processor normally destined for a laptop, so don't expect much from it.
As for how good the new Kaby Lake processors will be, it is thought that the top of the range iMac is likely to come with a build-to-order option of the Ti7-7700 processor, and speed tests over on Tom's Hardware suggests that that chip is capable of 4.2GHz under normal circumstances, and 4.8GHz when overclocked (don't expect Apple to make overclocking possible). The current build-to-order chip option runs at 4GHz.
Graphics in the new iMac
As we said, the reason why the previous generation of 21in iMacs was limited to that Broadwell chip was because the 21.5in models offer a graphics chip integrated on the processor itself, while the larger model offers a dedicated GPU. The 21-in models come with integrated Intel Iris Pro 6200 graphics, while the graphics processors in the current 27in iMac are all from AMD – the Radeon R9 M380, R9 M390 and R9 M395X depending on which model you buy. As for the next generation, it looks likely that they will feature graphics chips from AMD's Polaris set, announced at the start of 2016. The Polaris chips offer improved graphics performance compared with previous generations. We doubt that the new iMac will be a better proposition to gamers than the current line up.
Related: 21.5in vs 27in iMac and iMac 5K vs Microsoft Surface Studio comparison review
RAM in the new iMac
All variants of the iMac 5K feature 8GB of RAM currently, comprised of two 4GB sticks, with the option of boosting that up to 16- or 32GB. We'd like to see 16GB as standard on the high end, we don't expect to see RAM capabilities extending to 64GB.
Ports in the new iMac
One good thing about the Kaby Lake chips is they offer support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C. Right now the 27in iMac will give you two Thunderbolt 2 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, SDXC card slot, a headphone jack and an Ethernet port.
Thunderbolt 3 would allow users to plug the iMac into another computer and use that 5K display, it would also bring USB Type-C (which is incorporated in Thunderbolt 3) and obviously it would speed up any accessories plugged in.
Storage in the new iMac
Storage is one area where we really hope to see change in the entire iMac line up. We think that flash storage should be standard across the range, or at least a Fusion Drive (high-performance hybrid blend of flash and conventional storage) should be included. It is possible to pay £90 at point-of-purchase to add a Fusion Drive to the 21in models and we think that this should be standard as the Fusion Drive makes such a significant difference to the performance.
This would be a significant improvement because the current 21.5-inch iMac range is crippled somewhat by its hard drives, which are a lot slower than the flash drives used in all of Apple's laptops. Mac laptops with similar processors will perform noticeably better than the equivalent iMac because of their faster SSD drives.
Added to this, the 21in iMac ships with an exceptionally slow 5400RPM hard drive as standard – that's the kind of hard drive you find in a laptops (except these days you'll be hard pushed to find a laptop with a HDD rather than an SSD/flash drive). The hard drive in the iMac undoes any of the benefits of the faster processor and graphics card. To be frank, we don't think Apple should be shipping any iMacs with hard drives in this day and age, and while we accept that some people want the maximum storage available, and a 1TB hard drive is significantly cheaper than a 1TB SSD, Apple does offer the Fusion Drive build-to-order option that combines a flash drive with a 1TB hard drive, and in our tests this upgrade makes such a marked improvement to the entry-level iMac that we have always advised that people upgrade. It's a no brainer.
We really can't fathom why Apple won't just include the Fusion Drive as standard across the range, we were disappointed when the company reduced the size of the SSD element of the Fusion Drive in the 2015 line up and didn't just offer it as standard. It was the kind of change that you could appreciate the company making if they were going to add it for 'free' not if they were expecting customers to pay for it. We certainly hope Apple sees sense with the 2017 iMac.
Price of the new iMac
Back in October Apple shocked us all by raising prices across all its products. Perhaps the increases shouldn't have surprised us in the wake of Brexit, but the increases left prices at pretty exorbitant levels, going up as much as £400.
Prices currently start at £1,049 for the entry-level model, rising to £1,249 and £1,449 for the model with the 4K display. Given that the 4K iMac was £1,199 when it launched, you can see this is not a tiny increase.
The 5K iMacs start at £1,749, rising to £1,949, with the top of the range costing a steep £2,249.
It could still be said that the 27-inch iMac line-up is great value for money, if you were to purchase a 5K display of this quality it would cost a lot more than the price of the 5K iMac, and it wouldn't come with a fast, capable, fully functioning computer.
We hope to see the entry-level iMac fall back below the £1,000 level, but we certainly don't hold out much hope for the rest of the line up returning to pre-Brexit pricing levels.

Here come the springers!
Well to say Kokanee fishing has been good would be an understatement! It has been very good fishing on Lake Chelan for some very nice Kokanee with even a couple landlocked kings coming in the past couple days. We have been launching the Wooldridge sled early in the morning and on some days eating breakfast with limits by 8 in the morning. I have been using the new Fetha Styx dr 803 Kokanee rods I highly recommend trying them out if you haven't yet you will love them! We have been getting limits of nice Kokanee ranging from 12 all the way up to a whopping 20 inch 2 and half pound lunkers. We have been using Pautzke Fire Corn tipped hoochie skirts mostly with Super Dipping Sauce Kokanee flavor for scent with great success. It has been a treat to be able to have such great fishing on these warm sunny days, it's almost 80 as I type this on a sunny afternoon. I would love to thank all that have gone out and fished with me and look forward to doing it again next spring!I will hit the lake a couple more times as we get ready to kick off salmon season! Any day, maybe even today, WDFW will announce an opening for spring chinook on the Icicle river and maybe even the Wenatchee river. We are expecting a very good season here on the Icicle river and the Wenatchee river. IF the Wenatchee river does open it will be the first time it has been open at all in over 20 years and the lower stretch the first time in over 50 years! So ya it's kind of a big deal! We are expecting a very good run of fish with almost 10,000 fish coming to the Wenatchee river system. We will be using Fetha Styx hsr 863 plug rods and sa 1064 bait rods for this fishery. We will be fishing this fishery through June and then it's back in the Wooldridge and Pautzke Fire Brined herring and coon shrimp and on to Sockeye and Kings in the Upper Columbia river and a huge sockeye run in Lake Wenatchee. Where we are expecting another huge run of fish for those fisheries! This summer will be insane I promise! We have huge runs of fish for every fishery we fish it's going to be a summer for the record books! I have very few open dates left for springers and a few for sockeye and kings but it's filling up fast, don't say you haven't been warned book now we don't get runs like this all the time!
