'HOT – SSO is not working. What's happened?' Email came down like thunder from a senior executive.
'I will check and get back to you' – I replied and forwarded the message to our technical team. 'Everything was working fine on Friday when we left. Nothing seems to be different or changed at this point' – reply came back from a portal administrator. If nothing appears to have changed in the portal then what went wrong?
The customer that I was working with had defined several success factors for corporate-wide Enterprise Portal deployment. One of the key drivers was to integrate somewhere around a few hundred applications with simplified SSO. The basic requirement was that the portal and most of the applications, which are accessed through the portal, will be protected by centralized authentication software. Every application should use a single authentication ticket generated by the portal.
Everything was ready for User Acceptance Testing to start on Monday. And then came that Monday and the rest is history. A few hours of investigation into the problem and we found the culprit. Over the weekend, the IT Security team went ahead with their scheduled upgrade on the test authentication server, which protects most of the backend applications. The portal uses its own authentication server and was not on the upgrade list. We were about to trigger the 'who to blame game' but instead we realized that there is a gap and we had an opportunity to improve.
Here are some of the gaps and challenges that we came across in the existing change control management.
- Traditional applications are meant for and operated in silos.
- Maintenance windows are well defined for a specific application, but not enough for integrated scenarios.
- Communication on any maintenance activity gets reported to a targeted audience.
- IT applications with their own change control board may not take into consideration any impact their change may have at a global level.
- Infrastructure and landscape information do not cover the global picture.
- Mis/Unalignment of customer requirements with support organization's processes.
- Lack of defined crossover roles and responsibilities for the support team in a global spectrum.
- Lack of alignment and prioritization between various software releases and business needs.
- Lack of clear understanding of the global impact of a local change.
Recommendations: We put together an 'Operational Workshop' to discuss and brainstorm these gaps and challenges. Below are some of the recommendations that helped improve the 'Global Change Control Management'.
Governance: Proper portal operational governance should be formed and should include members of infrastructure operations, support, portal administrators and representatives of business users. The operational governance should outline the operational charter, rules and policies, processes, and procedures. The governance team should be responsible for implementing, monitoring, and compliance as well.
Global Change Control Board (G-CCB): Members of CCB will represent Steering committee, Portal Project Management Office (PMO), Communication group, Infrastructure support team, Businesses, Development, and portal administrators. Main responsibility of G-CCB is to oversee IT changes going on at every level and understand the impact on the portal. Below are some details:
- Alignment of all IT changes
- Alignment of business needs with software release cycles
- Form a global communication channel
- Conduct regular CCB meetings
- Streamline testing and approval process.
Education: Create crossover roles and responsibilities and organizational metrics for an individual or a team to understand the role that they are playing in a global portal deployment and educate everyone on the term 'local change – global impact'.
Global landscape: Create a global infrastructure landscape database to combine all software components and applications that compliment and/or integrate with the portal. This should be detailed down to specific versions of related components.
Global maintenance schedule: Create a global calendar covering maintenance windows for all associated components to understand and communicate on uptime and downtime for the portal.
In the end, this is just the beginning to improve the portal operations and optimize the user experience. It is not possible to come up with a 'one size fits all' type of solution but the above experience may give you an idea of how you can tackle some of the challenges that Portals may bring in an ever changing IT organization.

text: This past Saturday Sarah and I made our first venture to Pepper Place. Pepper Place is a Saturday morning market held in the Lakeview District near the old Dr. Pepper building. At the market you can find almost anything- locally grown fruits and vegetables, fresh flowers, artwork, jewelry, baked breads and pastries, coffees and teas, etc. We sipped on some delicious iced coffee as we shopped. It was a fun experience and I hope we can go back again soon! Below are a few images from the market (once again- poor quality as they were taken with my iPhone).

Contribution of Surface Charge to Bovine Serum Albumin Adsorption on Hydroxyapatite Ceramic Particles
Abstract: Protein adsorption is driven by various interactions. The contribution of surface charge to bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption on hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic was investigated by adjusting the liquid environment in which the solid particles dispersed. Zeta potentials of HA and the adsorption of BSA on the surface were tested as a function of pH, ionic strength, Ca2+ and PO4 3- concentrations in the aqueous solutions, and the results showed that both of them were greatly affected by those experimental variations. Besides, the amount of adsorbed BSA was related to the variation of zeta potential of HA, as could be well understood in terms of electrostatic interactions.
Covalent Immobilization of Heparin on Anatase TiO2 Films via Chemical Adsorbent Phosphoric Acid Interface
Abstract: Heparin is covalently immobilized onto the surface of anatase TiO2 film using the bifunctional linking reagent, APTES (3-Aminopropyltriethoxylsilane), which can be bonded to the film by reaction between ethoxyl of the linking reagent and hydroxyl of the film. Compared to the control, the immobilization is enhanced by phosphoric acid chemical pre-adsorption on the film for there is more hydroxyl group present. Platelets deposited to heparinized surface showed only minor spreading and aggregation. The results of this study suggest that heparin immobilization to anatase TiO2 films via phosphoric acid interface may improve the in vivo blood compatibility.
Comparing Adsorptive Property of Natural and Synthesized Hydroxyapatite to Albumin, Fibrinogen and IgG
Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the plasma protein adsorptive property of the natural hydroxyapatite (HA) and the synthesized HA to human albumin (Alb), fibrinogen (Fib) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). Different methods such as reflectometry interference spectroscopy (RIfS) measuring, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and weighing assessment were used to measure the adsorbed amount of Alb, Fib and IgG on the natural HA and the synthesized HA. To compare the adsorptive property of protein adsorbed on these two kinds of materials, the ratio of Alb/Fib (RA/F) and the ratio of Alb/IgG (RA/I) were calculated. The results from all three methods showed that the values of RA/F and RA/I obtained with natural HA were smaller than those obtained with synthesized HA, that indicated that the natural HA adsorbed more human fibrinogen than human albumin and thas it would enhance blood coagulation and in favor of bone repairing.
Abstract: O-doped Diamond-Like carbon (O-DLC) films were prepared by direct magnetic filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition (DC-MFCVAD) under different O2 gas flow at room temperature (R.T.). Raman spectra were used to characterize structure of films. The wettabilities of the O-DLC films also were investigated by contact angle measurements using four common liquids. For studying films' interaction with blood, platelet adhesion experiment in vitro was done to characterize anticoagulant property of the O- DLC films from an aspect. Furthermore, ultraviolet spectrophotometer was employed to measure the optical band gap of the synthesized films. All of the results showed that O-DLC films have good anticoagulant property, oxygen doping can prevent graphite-like tendency of DLC films and increase band gap in a way, this kind of film materials may be become a new candidated biomaterials.
Abstract: Crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) and 0.8 wt.% silicon-substituted HA (SiHA) thin films were produced using magnetron co-sputtering. These films were subjected to contact angle measurements and in vitro cell culture study using human osteoblast-like (HOB) cells. A wettability study showed that SiHA has a lower contact angle, and thus is more hydrophilic in nature, as compared to HA. Consequently, enhanced cell growth was observed on SiHA at all time-points. Furthermore, distinct and well-developed actin filaments could be seen within HOB cells on SiHA. Thus, this work demonstrated that the surface properties of the coating may be modified by the substitution of Si into the HA structure.
Abstract: The effect of Mn on the protein adsorption of calcium phosphate coatings is investigated in this work. Mn containing β-tricalcium phosphate (Mn-TCP) is first prepared through a coprecipitation based methods. Then Mn-TCP is dispersed into the fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA) precursor sol. Mn-TCP/FHA biphasic coatings are prepared with these sols. After cell culture, it is found the amount of protein adsorbed on the coatings following this rule: Mn-TCP/FHA > β-TCP/FHA > FHA. That is ascribed to two reasons: a) Ca and PO4 releasing can promote the activity of cells; b) Mn releasing promotes protein activation even at quite low concentration.
Effect of Pamidronate on Protein Adsorption and Osteoblast Adhesion to Hydroxyapatite Bioceramics Scaffold
Abstract: This study is to investigate the effect of PAM on protein adsorption and osteoblastic cells adhesion to HA bioceramics. PAM was immobilized on the surface of HA bioceramics for bone scaffold by chelating. The outermost layer of the specimens was analyzed by XPS and FT-IR. The protein adsorption test was performed using the 10% bovine calf serum absorbed on the specimens in vitro. The osteoblastic cells were inoculated and cultured on the scaffolds. SEM, MTT test and ALP activity test evaluated the cell attachment, proliferation and activity on the scaffolds. Characteristic peaks in XPS and FT-IR spectra indicated PAM being immobilized on the surface of the bioceramics. PAGE and 2-D DIGE results indicated that HA absorbed more acidic proteins, while PAM-HA absorbed more basic and neutral proteins.The cell culture test indicated that the cells actively proliferated on the scaffolds. There was no significant difference between the ALP activity of the cells cultured for 1d, 3d, 5d and 7d on PAM-HA and that of the controls. PAM had no obvious effect on the cytocompatibility of HA, and PAM-HA bioceramics could be used as bone scaffold with potential ability to improve osteogenesis.
Abstract: Ammonia implanted silicon was performed by using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) to form a silicon nitride films. Blood compatibility of the prepared samples was investigated by platelets adhesion testing. It showed less activation i.e. lower thrombosis risks occurs on the prepared silicon nitride films than control silicon sample. The enhanced blood compatibility of the material is attributed to the modified surface properties such as hydrophilicity from thermodynamic adsorption perspective, which is related to surface chemical bonding states achieved by PIII process.
Study of Protein Adsorption and Conformational Change on DLC and Ti Surfaces Using FTIR and Coomassie Brilliant Blue Protein Assay
Abstract: The aim of present work was to study the interaction between human plasma protein-albumin (Alb) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) and the surfaces of two kinds of diamond-like carbon (DLC-A and DLC-B) and titanium (Ti) film. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to perform both quantity investigation and secondary structure analysis of above two proteins adsorbed on material surfaces. A modified Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) protein assay was also used to study the amount of adsorbed proteins. The result of FTIR quantitative evaluation shows that the ratio of adsorbed Alb to IgG (RA/I) on three kinds of material surface has an order: DLC-A > DLC-B > Ti, which is coincide with the result from CBB protein assay. The result of secondary structure analysis shows that the conformation of Alb and IgG changes in a largest degree after adsorbed on Ti and a smallest degree on DLC-A surface. Both the results indicate that the anti-thrombogenicity of DLC-A seems to be the best and Ti is the worst.
Abstract: Hydroxyapatite based biomaterials were prepared by a spark plasma sintering technology. The human limb-derived osteoblasts were cultured on the various biomaterial surfaces (HA, RF21, 1SiHA and 5SiHA) for up to two weeks to investigate the cellular behaviors. The bone gammacarboxyglutamic protein or osteocalcin in the medium were determined at different periods of cell culture. The results indicated that a combined effect of bioceramic surface composition and surface morphology had influenced the osteoblast behaviors. The amount of osteocalcin in the medium increased in the initial periods of culture but decreased in the late periods of culture.

SEAT scans reach one million
Every year a million CT scans and X-rays are carried out at the quality department of SEAT to verify the condition of the materials.
According to materials engineer at SEAT, David Patiño the high technology enables the brand to 'extend the service life of the parts and ensure the quality of the materials'. Part of the process includes the analysis of wheels.
With wheel scan results available in less than a minute, David said, 'Not many people are aware of the fact that a single tiny pore, only half a millimetre across, can cause a dent on this wheel if the driver runs into a kerb. Here we make sure that won't happen.'
Using these techniques, which enable parts to be seen in 3D and in cross sections, technicians can analyse from individual metallic material to sets of electronic components. However, testing can only be carried out by specialist engineers who require a special licence to work with nuclear energy.

Forest on Fire
(Courtesy of San Francisco Examiner)
Despite the unmistakable talent that has earned him the admiration and confidence of A-list directors like Martin Scorsese,
Oliver Stone and Robert Altman, Forest Whitaker has rarely been rewarded with a leading role. Sure, he's stolen scenes
from screen stalwarts including Paul Newman (as a seemingly naïve hustler in The Color of Money) and Robin Williams
(as a soft-spoken soldier in Good Morning, Vietnam), but the 45-year-old Texas native has been better known for his
acting chops than his star power.
His latest project, The Last King of Scotland, might not vault him into the ranks of Hollywood's most bankable
stars, but it just might earn him some long overdue recognition. As Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Whitaker fills the screen with
brash charisma and murderous menace, a difficult mix that might have defeated a lesser actor. But Whitaker tackles the role
with electrifying intensity and strikes a perfect balance, in a performance that will be very difficult to ignore come Oscar
Not that he's worried about it.
"It would be great to be recognized for this role, and I can't ignore all the talk I've heard about that,"
he says quietly, with a faint grin. "So yes, I think about it. But everyone told me I'd win an Emmy for my work
on The Shield, and I didn't even get nominated. Right now I'm just concentrating on doing all I can to
make people get out and see this movie, because it's a great story."
Whitaker readily concedes that he doesn't look much like Amin, though the two men share similarly hulking, athletic
physiques. (Before seizing the Ugandan presidency, Amin was a boxing champion; the 6'2", 250-pound Whitaker earned
a college scholarship as a football player.) Even so, he went to great lengths to capture the larger-than-life spirit of a
man known to much of the world as a mass murderer.
"Amin was such a fascinating character," he says. "He was a killer, sure, but he could be incredibly charming,
and he used that charm to win over the press, which couldn't have been easy. To do justice to that character, I did
a lot of preparation that went beyond watching film and doing an impression.
"I talked to his brother, his sister and his generals. I tried to talk to one of his sons, who's now a general,
but he was concerned that we were portraying his father as a cannibal, and I didn't see that. I got a chance to go to
Africa for the first time, which was important to me, and speak to the people of Uganda, who were eager to tell us how this
man touched their lives. I wanted to capture the essence of the man's soul, which is something much greater than an
impression could provide."
Now, having spent much of the past six years endeavoring to do just that, Whitaker is ready to sit back and reap the fruits
of his labor – for a little while, at least. He will soon return to The Shield to film his final episodes as
the tortured Det. Kavanaugh. Until then, he's content to reflect on the most challenging role of his career.
"There are a lot of roles that I keep with me. I loved playing Charlie Parker in Bird, and I loved playing Ghost
Dog. But playing Amin was the most gratifying experience of my career, and the most difficult for me personally. It's
the hardest and best work I've ever done in my life."

Allan gives me some 'off time' every Sunday. In the morning I go to my meditative yoga class to clear my mind and balance in my chakras -Lee should be proud of me. Then in the afternoon I have time for making cupcakes. I had no idea that there are so many people obsessed with cupcakes out there! Lot's of pages and pictures to inspire me! My muffin tops are more puffy and rounded now so things are improving...I've decided that my trademark is going to be the mini two-bite muffins. Yum-yum!
Note that the cupcakes I made are in 'Ikea colours'. Back in University I worked at Ikea, hence when I walk into your living room I know that you're sitting on an Klippan sofa which is beside a Billy bookcase and Lack side tables. Anyway, on Monday we delivered the muffins to my friends at Ikea North York so they could meet Logan -AKA 'Larry' as Tom likes to call him.

A couple are planning legal action against Northumbria Police for compensation after a bungled drugs raid.
Kevin and Gwen Crown have engaged a solicitor to pursue a civil action for compensation over the June raid on their flat in Goschen Street, Blyth.
Mr Crown, 46, claims the raid could have seriously affected his wife, 56, who is awaiting brain surgery.
She has been put on tablets by her doctor, delayed her operation and they have moved house because of the trauma.
The pair were in their upstairs flat in Goschen Street at 10.15am when the kitchen door was broken down by police and officers rushed in. Mrs Crown was left screaming and shaking by the ordeal.
She said: "We are making a court claim for some kind of compensation for what happened. I was put on anti-depressant tablets afterwards by my doctor and I'm still on them.
"We have moved. We can't stay in that flat after what happened."
Mr Crown said: "My wife can't sleep at night. She is on tablets for her nerves. She was due to have a brain operation this month but couldn't face it. We had to cancel the appointment and make another for September 23.
"We have moved to a house further down the road and that way we may be able to settle down."
Apologetic officers arranged repairs to the door and even sent the couple flowers after realising an error had been made.
Mrs Crown has suffered 11 mini-strokes over seven years. Doctors say she has an aneurysm in her brain and must undergo a brain operation at Newcastle General Hospital.
The couple gave up their home in Hortondale Grove, Blyth, which had a stairlift and other equipment, and went to live in Greece last year in the hope it would help Mrs Crown's health.
But they returned so she could use the National Health Service after she suffered more strokes. The only accommodation they could find, after first living with family, was the flat in Goschen Street, rented from a housing association.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "We issued an apology to the couple for the unfortunate incident.
"If they serve proceedings upon us they will be dealt with in due course."

"Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world (shame) produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter."
Grace is the unconditional acceptance of God. It is unearned and undeserved; therefore it is freely given. You cannot earn grace or do anything by which it can be maintained.
Titus 3:4-8, "But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man [as man] appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Which He poured out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. [And He did it in order] that we might be justified by His grace (by His favor, wholly undeserved), [that we might be acknowledged and counted as conformed to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action], and that we might become heirs of eternal life according to [our] hope.This message is most trustworthy, and concerning these things I want you to insist steadfastly, so that those who have believed in (trusted in, relied on) God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable occupations and to doing good, for such things are [not only] excellent and right [in themselves], but [they are] good and profitable for the people."
We may in our conversations vacillate between the definitions of shame and sorrow, accepting on premise that they are related and as such confuse the conversation. There is a sorrow, a sense of grief and regret which is associated with the demands of a Holy God, fitted with truth to produce a heartfelt pain of mind with regard to the existence, the extent, the nature and the ill-deserts of sin. This pain of mind afflicts the soul, admonishing it for the offences which have occurred and recognizing the need for forgiveness and absolution. This is Godly sorrow leading to repentance.
Worldy sorrow is human sorrow. It is unsanctified remorse and has absolutely no redemptive value. It is nothing more than wounded pride at getting caught in sin and having one's lusts go unfulfilled. This kind of sorrow leads to guilt, shame, despair, depression, self-pity and hopelessness. This person who only feels grief for sin because it will lead to disgrace or shame, poverty or pain will not necessarily repent, reform or change behaviour.
Without the recognition that sins are committed against God and are seen as evil and wrong and without a desire to change being formed because of that thinking, then what the mind approves, it will always approve, there will be no reason for regret, no reason for sorrow and shame is reduced to a category of human hardship.
Ezekiel 36:31 "Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations."
Ephesians 2:1-10,
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."
It is by grace we have been saved through faith ... this is not of my own striving to obtain nor my own efforts to maintain ... it is a gift ... salvation ... not by works, not by penance ... solely a gift
Dabar [theme]
He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou find refuge: His truth is a shield and buckler
Psalms 91:4
Be it ours,when we cannot see the face of God, to trust under the shadow of His wings. C.H. Spugeon

PayZang's Virtual Check is an electronic checking system that enables businesses to accept check payments securely and inexpensively from their customers via fax, telephone, the Internet or by mail.
While this method is somewhat similar to ACH (Automated Clearing House) processing, Virtual Check is a superior system in many ways. In addition to providing you and your customers a wide array of payment options, Virtual Check easily integrates into your existing shopping cart by way of an API. If you experience high volume payment processing, you can simplify your accounting by bundling Virtual Check into batch files for secure and safe transference to PayZang.
No matter how sophisticated payment processing systems are, they are no good if they don't provide business owners like you with direct benefits. At PayZang, we have tackled this issue by integrating the following time and money-saving options into our Virtual Check system.
Your virtual checks go directly into your business bank account
As a busy business owner, you will never physically handle (see, touch or deposit) a single check*
You receive access to a secure, full featured virtual terminal system to process checks manually
Upon request, we offer advanced API assistance and integration business-based websites
Virtual Check Is Ideal for Almost Everyone
Regardless of your business's size or volume, Virtual Check works perfectly for almost any US-based business and can be implemented for payment towards any service or product.**
Check Verification Upfront
We scour sources that are overlooked by mainstream scrubbing services e.g.
1.Checkwriters – Bad checkwriters
2.Unbanked/Underbanked – Consumers who do not have access to a bank but still write checks or other modes of payment
3.Thin File/No File – Consumers who do have a presence in the payments world.
Virtual Check vs. ACH:
If you are looking for more evidence that accepting e-check payment types are worth it, think about the following key points. Unlike ACH check features, virtual check offers merchants a greater ability to reduce the time spent on payment processing.
This includes decreasing the hours spent on accounting as well as on preparing deposits for your bank account. Even better, using PayZang's virtual check system means better protection against hacking through check verification and sophisticated encryption tools. Integrating virtual check acceptance into your other payment processor tools will improve cash flow and attract a fresh pool of customers ready to do business.
*Subject to a business's bank footprint.
**Subject to KYC, AML and OFAC restrictions.

A Good Book Review
Enforcing Home - Another Excellent Chapter in the Survivalist Series
I have wrote before about how well written and realistic A. American's Survivalist series was and the latest, book #6 called "Enforcing Home" is no exception. This latest book continues to find Morgan, his military partners improving their situation while faced with threats from armed bandits and the Department of Homeland Security.
While survivalist books by A. American, Joe Nobody, James Wesley Rawles and others are novels since the collapse hasn't happened yet,.....yet,.....you can still learn something. You can see problem sets and ask yourself how you would solve it, what decision you would make. Another way to learn are the survival tips that the authors spread among the story line.
Without giving too much up for those of you who haven't read the book yet, I had five major takeaways from a learning or reinforcement stand point:
Growing food occupied all the characters and/or their separate survival groups. The most successful people in the story line was a couple who had a collapse preexisting green hose and were adept at growing much of their own food supply. S o in a perfect world the survivalist would have a green house, possibly some cleared land for a spring-summer garden, a good supply of non-hybrid seeds, a water source and the skill to grow vegetables.
Feed chickens was the second point. In the story Morgan's group had chickens which gave them a healthy supply of eggs. A way to feed those chickens was described where a bucket with holes was hung up above the chicken coop and a dead animal carcass was put into the bucket. Flies would leave their eggs in the carcass and when they would hatch the maggots would fall out the bottom of buckets onto the ground for the chickens to eat. I never heard of that before.
Preserving eggs. Something I have heard before and reinforced in memory was the technique of coating eggs with mineral oil to preserve them. Having a supply of mineral oil on hand for other things is smart as well. Treats constipation, can be used for burning in oil lamp, even lubing weapons in a pinch.
Prepared for contact with disease ridden people. This is something I had wrote about before, about having personal protection gear and a plan on how to approach, handle or interface with people possibly infected with bad communicable diseases. In that perfect world again, a smart and well prepared survivalist would have a stockpile of antibiotics to treat some of treatable diseases, the knowledge of treatment plans, a stock of personal protective gear, and a plan on what to do with diseased infected suspected contacts or people that have been exposed within your own group.
If you are a prepper and have not yet read the Home novels from A. American (the "A" stands for Angry by the way) then you can pick up series through Amazon.

Prepare for Zombie Apocalypse? No. Prepare for National Crisis? Yes.
Preparedness is becoming more and more mainstream. However, some people will get spooked should you really lay on the Prepper routine. Instead, print this article and hand it to them. Tell them that Glenn Beck recently hosted Justin Wheeler on his nationally syndicated The Glenn Beck Program Tuesday December 1st to discuss a preparedness plan should a national crisis unfold.
Wheeler, the brother of Beck's chief of content, recently asked his family members in an email to do these things: fill the car with gas and check the oil, withdraw $500 cash from an ATM and buy one case of bottled water and some canned food.
"Probably nothing, but run this as an exercise tonight if at all possible — tomorrow, early, if you can't get that done — and, above all things, remember, remain calm, be at peace. We're Americans. We'll always win because we believe and defend liberty and freedom, so no worries," Wheeler wrote at the end of the email.
Wheeler told Beck that preparedness is part of his "heritage" and that, as a child who grew up in the 1970's, he remembers going through nuclear preparedness drills in school and having food storage at his childhood home.
"As I increased my education level, an increased level of preparedness just became a rational response," Wheeler said. "I think it is a very rational response. Very much the same way that if a weatherman said, 'Hey, it's going to rain,' you would walk out of the house with an umbrella and no one would think twice about that."
According to Wheeler, the reason people have difficulty preparing for economic crisis is because, as a whole, the U.S. has not experienced that level of instability since the Great Depression in the 1930's.
So Wheeler created a list of supplies necessary to cope for 30 days amid major national instability:
1. 30-day food supply
2. Five days water and water purification filters to last one year
3. Vehicle toolkit
4. Hatchet or machete
5. Shovel and sledgehammer
6. 50-foot extension cord
7. Arctic-rated sleeping bags
8. Eight-person tent
9. Flashlights and batteries for the vehicle
10. AM/FM weather radio
11. Three wool blankets
12. Winter coats
13. One tin cloth coat
14. 18 toilet paper rolls
15. Ranch clothes
16. Five gallons of gasoline
Wheeler said he devised this list when he decided he wanted his family to be prepared for "more than just an earthquake."
"All the experts will say, 'You probably don't want to be in a major city in a disaster scenario,'" Wheeler told Beck. "So we want to be one of the first on the road, and that means being able to pack up, get ready to go, and go rapidly."
Wheeler added that it is important to have a plan as an entire family so everyone can meet up in a pre-determined area. Additionally, he said it is crucial to have out-of-state contacts, should the phone lines go down.
Wow! Someone finally talks about a P L A N. A predetermined met up area is a contingency linkup in any other language. Have a contingency plan. Employ the two man rule for everything and if a group leaves the main group have a plan: Where you are going. What you are doing. When you will be back. What to do if you don't come back. It's only common sense.

Survival Food Procurement- US Army Style
Here is a US Army video that shows how to procure food in a survival situation. Learning wilderness survival skills is very important should you ever have to bug out of an urban area, or for some other unforeseen reasons.

Survival Stress- How to Cope
When in an urban survival scenario, many overlook the many possibilities of having to deal with stress. Not knowing how to deal with stress can mean the difference between life or death.
Weather you are in an urban survival crisis or a wilderness survival scenario, here is video produced in 1961 by the US Air Force that deals with survival stress. The information is 33 years old, but the information is still true and valid to this day.
Watch, learn and enjoy a movie from the retro era.

When I traveled to Charleston earlier this month for just one meeting, I fully expected the trip would be brief.
But one brief meeting became no meeting at all when only one of the vital participants showed up.
Instead of witnessing an historic moment for West Virginia, I sat in a virtually empty room with Evan Jenkins, the challenger for West Virginia's Third Congressional District, while his counterpart, Rep. Nick Rahall, was nowhere to be found.
I came to Charleston with the hope that I could help broker a negotiation and final agreement between Rahall and Jenkins to help stop the flood of outside spending that's come to dominate their race –- and put forth a model for the rest of the country looking to restore more transparent and accountable elections.
But despite overtures from both candidates that they were ready for an agreement to curb the influence of outside spending – there was ultimately no meeting to broker: just me, Evan Jenkins and an empty chair.
At CounterPAC, an independent, nonpartisan advocate for free and fair elections I co-founded earlier this year, we had monitored the race between Rahall and Jenkins closely after first proposing that the candidates take a pledge to reject expenditures from secret, undisclosed donors.
Doing so would help facilitate a campaign about the candidates' ideas, not about secret donations from groups who are ultimately unaccountable to the voters.
Following a proposal from Jenkins for the candidates to reject all outside spending, Rahall countered by proposing a pledge that banned expenditures from sources that don't report their donors to the Federal Election Commission.
Like any normal negotiation, finalizing an agreement would require both parties to come to the table –- so CounterPAC announced a meeting and gave the candidates fair warning.
It was time to transition from rhetoric to action – but clearly Rahall felt more comfortable playing politics with an agreement than actually delivering on one.
In recent years, a tremendous surge in campaign spending from untraceable donors, front groups and shell corporations has eroded our democracy.
More and more, voters are recognizing the problem. Few issues cut across the spectrum of partisan politics as cleanly as voters' desire for stemming the tide of secret spending.
A recent poll of more than 600 likely voters in West Virginia found over 80 percent of voters think secret spending should be limited. The same poll found that almost 60 percent of voters would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supports limiting spending on political ads by secret, untraceable donors.
With a long, uphill battle toward real legislative change that would reform our nation's broken campaign finance laws, reasonable politicians should be able to come together to agree to reject a system in which dark money and unaccountable donors saturate our airwaves and eliminate intelligent debate.
Because Rahall refused to ultimately finalize an agreement, there will be no relief for voters from the onslaught of ads. Outside groups receiving money from untraceable sources have already spent more than $2 million on the Rahall/Jenkins race alone.
If this election holds true to form, the final month will account for roughly another $2 million. As the final ads from outsiders looking to profit from their chosen politicians' influence hit the airwaves, many voters in West Virginia will likely find themselves wishing for a reprieve.
They should know they were just one empty chair away.

A Well Deserved Promotion For Captain America's Heroics Against The Winter Soldier....
A Well Deserved Promotion For Captain America's Heroics Against The Winter Soldier…
Promoting Captain America to Colonel for placing himself in harm's way in defeating the Winter Soldier - well, it is more precise to say neutralizing - sounds good, but somehow, 'Colonel America' does not have the same comforting ring to it like 'Captain.' Those of us who love our comic book heroes and sheroes are once again having the time of our lives due to the superior crop of movies being made in that genre… to that end, one knows that the stellar pedigree of these movies are deserving when renowned thespians like Robert Redford keeps showing up in them. Captain America's The Winter Soldier starts off with a frenetic action pace… leaving one anticipating and wondering how is the script and director are going to keep up such a pace… being aware that the arc of any good movie builds to a satisfying bang. Much Kudos to the writers and director for what is going to be a block buster and not because there is a built in audience… but simply because it is an excellent movie!
The reason we love Comic-Book heroes like Captain America and the Batman's Dark Knight is because unlike, say, Superman, Batman and Captain America are almost like us - human with all our frailties… and Chris Evans who plays the Captain is right as rain taking on the role again. You will laugh when he is struggling to get a grip of the Rip-Van-Winkle world he woke up to and empathize with him for the losses he has suffered, especially witnessing the quiet emotional toll on our captain's face when he sees the woman he loved and who he was supposed to have a dance with decades ago… that woman who now has the attributes of old age: wrinkles, crows' feet and pending death. One get the feeling that, without uttering it, that our Captain is sorry for surviving with his youth and countenance intact.
Captain America is also like us because he fights like us without having some unnatural power - ok, so he has a shield, but it is not the reason for his skills. In that same vein, there are so many classic action sequences in the Winter Soldier that it is rather difficult to speak about all of them; however, the scenes are fought in almost warp speed mode, yet realistic with our Captain bending, weaving, punching, kicking, in sync with his shield… wreaking sweet, sweat havoc on the bad guys. We also get to see Chris Evans, our Captain, acclimatizing to modern life and humorously running around the track and lapping his soon to be combat brother in arms, Robert Mackie (The Falcon), whose debut as the Black superhero makes quite a Diva-like entrance into the fray.
There is a death early in the movie that is shocking - but as a writer, I knew it had to be done to propel the story line and to engender the catalysts that drive the human condition, especially that of vengeance, which is among the tastiest of nectars to God and man. But not to worry because the thing about death in the Comic Book universe is that everyone who dies is a potential Lazarus… with a Jesus waiting in the proverbial wings to perform a resurrection… that is all I am going to say without ruining the Winter Soldier if you have not seen it yet.
Did I mention the bad guy, yet… well, the Winter Soldier has one of the baddest since Darth Vader. You will know that the Winter Soldier is bad when our Captain throws his shield at him, only to have said shield caught and thrown back at our Captain with such brute force that our Captain has to scamper out of harm's way. Another reason why the Winter Soldier is such a formidable nemesis is the fact that he has an emotional attachment to our hero, Captain America… and the shock that it is someone close to him is so surprising to our Cap that it is akin to Chewbacca betraying Han Solo. I used a Star Wars reference because I saw more than one similarity in the Winter Soldier to compare to that iconic movie series; case in point, we see our Captain refusing to fight his nemesis, so as to light the almost dying embers of a loss friendship and humanity… and in the process, our Captain is shellacked - once again, this is akin to Luke Skywalker's abandonment of his Light-Saber, refusing to fight his father… so as to bring Darth Vader back to The Force.
One cannot review the Winter Soldier without discussing Scarlett Johansson's performance - by the way, someone tell me why the powers that be at the Marvel Universe do not give this woman a stand-alone Black Widow movie? There are times I had to pause and remind myself that it is a woman up there kicking butts and with panache and coupled with disgusting beauty – who wears a costume like Miss Johansson's Black Widow, with all the meandering curves and all.... What makes Miss Johansson's performance so white hot is the fact she is a hell of an actress and she brings 'it' even to a so called Comic Book movie role. Miss Johansson has such chemistry with Chris Evans… that you will find yourselves yearning for them to become a couple, notwithstanding the fact that throughout the movie that she is trying to play match maker for the Captain. But it is Miss Johansson's fighting that is all the rave and you are not going to be disappointed, especially with a scene that takes place in the presence of Nick Fury and Robert Redford's character - it is like watching the WWE divas, but with actual fighting.
Even the best humorous scenes in the Winter Soldier are borne by Johansson's character – take the scene where she is making fun of the Captain's lack of kissing skills because he, apparently, is out of practice due to his long sleep or take her penchant to be deadpan funny and cavalier in the face of imminent danger.... Miss Johansson is one of those rare actors that can convey fear and humor in her delivery without any obvious change in her cadence or on her expression… look for the scene where she is addressing a sub-committee of Congress when they make the mistake of threatening to arrest her…. Miss Johansson confidently responded that they are not going to arrest her - but she says it in a way that comes across as both threat and playful banter, yet the audience and Senators, by the latter's respective faces, peep the scary subtlety.
Any excellent movie like the Winter Soldier has all the elements of real life, which run the gamut from tragedy to humor… in addition, the story/plot must also mirror what is happening in our world… and so it is in the Winter Soldier where one can see elements of the Edward Snowden/NSA dust up, and, moreover, the supposed boogie man of our times, the Illuminati, conspicuously represented in the movie by HYDRA, whereby the latter's gold is to create such chaos… that the World will turn to it as a savior.
To succeed in its scheme for world domination, HYDRA has created an algorithm that can determine projected trouble makers… you know those who of us who are going to be a threat to the establishment - The New World Order. As one of HYDRA's advocates succinctly puts it, I can save 7 billion people if I am allowed to kill 20 million wolves among the Sheepdom. So powerful and almost invincible is HYDRA - with the wealthy elites part of its ranks - think of the Rothschilds and the members of the Bilderberg group - that like Homer's Iliad, it has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. with its agents, the very organization formed to combat such an enemy threat.
Speaking of S.H.I.E.L.D., we see its charismatic leader, Nick Fury, played again brilliantly by Samuel L. Jackson... this time Fury's character is flushed out and instead of his usually, dapper, cucumber cool self delegating kill missions, Fury is forced to be an integral part of the Winter Soldier's action sequences and plot. We know his wearing of that iconic eye patch and the way Fury looks and carries himself… and the respect he commands from enemies and peers alike that he must have earned the props by doing god-awful things for God and country; yet, we are not privy to what it is exactly he has done or what he can do combat wise. We get a glimpse though on what a bad-ass Fury is when we see him leisurely driving home in his SUV and using his ride like how an Old 'G' from 'the hood' would use a 9 millimeter… even after dispatching of at least a dozen or so bad guys… he still manages to pull off a disappearing act worthy of Houdini. Incidentally, so awesome is Fury's SUV that when you see what it can do… you will be saying what Tony Stalk said to Pepper Pots when he saw Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow in action: I want one!
Like is the wont with Marvel movies, it is best that you do not leave when the credits are rolling because there are gems to be had. After the credits for the Winter Soldier, you will get to see a set of twin antagonists that I am supposing will be our Captain's next nemeses in some future movie; and, notwithstanding the fact that Chris Evans has said recently that he wants to quit acting and be behind the cameras. For all that is America... white picket fences and mom's apple pie, I beseech Mr. Evans to put off being an auteur and once again don the red white and blue uniform... and continue wielding the shield.
P.S., I mentioned earlier that the powers that be at the Marvel Universe should give Miss Johansson a stand-alone movie – well, someone has beaten Marvel to it because there is a movie preview that I saw with Miss Johansson in the lead role where she plays a character name, Lucy.… The only thing I can write to whet your appetite and to entice you… is to compare seeing the Lucy preview to the very first time when you saw the preview for the Matrix's movie - that is all I am going to say… hoping that the rest of the movie, Lucy, lives up to the hype of its preview.
No, thank you for the info on Lucy. I would have never of watched the trailer (a red head in a movie named Lucy sounds like something about Lucille Ball), but now I want to see this film.
According to IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base ) They announced a Black widow movie will be made (no year listed). I would post a html to the site but that is not allowed. I think it was on that special ABC ran where they said that the make over Fury got was based on Mr. Jackson who is an avid comic fan (according to what he said on the Daily Show). I can't wait to see this film (except I am to cheap to pay 10$ to see a movie once so I will wait to buy it). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3480822/?ref_=nm_flmg_...


text: Phil Mickelson has talked openly and often about the feeling that comes over him each April when he turns off Washington Road and drives down Magnolia Lane toward Augusta National's white clubhouse. "There's something very spiritual about playing Augusta if you love the game as much as I do and going there gets me fired up," Mickelson said last month after a pre-Masters trip to Augusta National with buddy Keegan Bradley. He's not the only one who feels it. Not everyone may express it the way Mickelson does, practically making it contagious, but it's there for all but the hardest hearted. Whether you're driving beneath the magnolia archway that frames the club driveway, walking in through one of the patron entryways or you're perched in front of a television set anywhere between Augusta and Anchorage, The Masters matters like no other tournament. It's because of Amen Corner and the azaleas, Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, Sarazen's double-eagle and Tiger's chip-in. It's because there have been eight months since the last major championship, requiring a winter's worth of waiting and wondering whose turn it will be this time. The two Opens and the PGA Championship have their own stature and identity but they lack the nature of The Masters. The U.S. Open can be a slog, the Open Championship a wet, windswept endurance test and the PGA a four-day walk through a blast furnace. The Masters is possibility and promise, all wrapped in a wisteria bow. Still a week away, this Masters hints again at renewal, not just for the fried chicken sandwich that has been returned to the patrons' lunch menu but also for Tiger Woods. It has been eight years since Woods ground out an extra-hole victory over Chris DiMarco to win his fourth green jacket. Just 29, it still felt as if Tiger was just getting started despite all he had done. Now we know better. It has been nearly five years since that remember-where-you-were moment when Tiger willed that bumpy, 15-foot putt into the hole at Torrey Pines, forcing a U.S. Open playoff he would win the next day over Rocco Mediate. The major championship count, which seemed to continually click upward like an altimeter, stalled at 14. Woods is 37 now, with a different swing and a different life, but a familiar glow has returned to his golf game. He has won three times this year, six times over the past 13 months. He's not the old Tiger but he has begun to dominate events the way he did a decade ago. He may never regain the intimidation factor he wore like fingerprints but the generation of players that has emerged over the past three years – from Rory McIlroy to Rickie Fowler – is getting a dose of Tiger like it hadn't seen. McIlroy has embraced it more comfortably than he wrapped his arms around his life at No. 1 and, in turn, Woods has embraced McIlroy. That itself is different, almost as surprising as Woods releasing photographs of himself with new girlfriend Lindsey Vonn. Woods has never been warm and fuzzy but he seems softer around the edges recently. This is a critical Masters for Woods for two reasons: because it has been five years since his last major championship victory and because there's a sense his reborn game has been pointed for months to next week. It's the last golf step for the renewed and restored Tiger. Though he isn't prone to public introspection, it's safe to assume that it's the one remaining leap he wants to make. For all that has changed, chasing down Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 professional major championship victories has not. It remains the fire in Woods' furnace. It's almost remarkable that at this point in his career – 37 years old with 60 professional starts and 14 victories in major championships – Tiger's numbers are exactly the same as Nicklaus' at the same age. We know what Jack did from here, winning at St. Andrews in 1978, picking up two majors after reworking his swing in 1980 and – cue the angels choir – the 1986 Masters. What we don't know is where Tiger goes from here. It was easy a year or two ago to think we'd seen all that Tiger had. His body betrayed him. His confidence eroded. His aura was diminished. But as another Masters comes around, bringing with it a slow-arriving spring, it brings McIlroy and Mickelson, Watson and Westwood, dogwood blossoms and dominance in the air. It brings Tiger another chance. Except for last year, when he tied for 40th, Woods hasn't finished outside the top six at Augusta since 2004. He prowls the property like Nicklaus did. Asked after his victory at Bay Hill when he last felt as good about his game going to Augusta as he feels this year, Woods chose not to expound on his confidence. "It's been a few years," he said. That says enough.

Caitlin Muir of the Social Media Club published a great article discussing the decalogue of social media. These commandments were not heaven-sent but these tips will surely lead you to the right path.
1. No one can be a social media God.
Social media cannot be ruled by anyone or be centered to a single entity. It is a concept that keeps revolving over time. Don't let the idea of social media supremacy get into your head. Always remember to stay hungry and stay foolish (Thanks, Steve!)
2. Social media is not God
Live a life outside of the social media world. Social media tools are not deities you worship day and night. Learn to take a break and feel your surroundings.
3. You shall not name drop
As much as possible, never use social media as tools to bash or bully people online. If you are against other people's opinions, better write them a personal message instead of attacking them directly through tweets and Facebook statuses.
4. Keep a digital Sabbath day
Choose a day where you will completely unplug yourself from all of your gadgets. This practice will not only improve your health but also your relationships.
5. Honor and respect people
Utilize technology to spread social media love to your friends and family. You can start by posting a nice and short greeting in the morning on your Facebook timeline. A simple deed like this will show how grateful you are to have peers around.
6. You shall not kill another person's reputation online
Social media is not the venue to share all your hate about a particular person, event or issue. Learn to set limitations when posting your comments on Facebook or Twitter. See the different sides of a story before making any judgments.
7. You shall not cheat in your social media plans
Sometimes, things don't go the way they were planned but this is not an excuse to rely on dirty methods to fix them. The trick here is to do a trial and error until you realize which one really works.
8. You shall not pirate
This is just a matter of respect to copyright laws. Also, bear in mind to always cite your sources when producing content for your blogs.
9. You shall not lie
Of course, this is a difficult act to do when you're hanging out online. However, never fall into the temptations of creating fake accounts to commit cyber crimes.
10. You shall not covet
There's more to this world than the latest gadgets. Treat social media as a way to share your ideas and creativity to other people. Don't make this a miserable place filled with envy and greed.

6 Action Steps for DOL Fiduciary Rule
While the industry awaits pending clarity on many aspects surrounding the DOL Fiduciary Rule, David Levine, a principal with the Groom Law Group, Chartered, suggests six steps advisors should take now (in plain english) to start preparing for the final fiduciary rule. Source: Napa-net.org
6 Simple Action Steps:
- Take time to breathe– you still have time to prepare your business for success under the rule.
- Figure out what you personally are responsible for.
- Identify your key business activities and each step involved.
- Identify the legal compliance issues for each step– Ask yourself, "am I a fiduciary when I engage in this specific activity and am I engaging in a prohibited transaction?"
- Address potential prohibited transactions.
- Be willing to adapt– while challenges are ahead, opportunities for value added services remain.
