During a keynote presentation at the Cloud Foundry Summit 2015, Andy Zitney, senior vice president of infrastructure services at Allstate, offered a wide-angle view of deploying disruptive technologies within a large enterprise. Zitney's talk, "Developing the Freedom to Disrupt", covered not only his experiences within the 90-year-old insurance company, but also his time working in financial services. Cloud Foundry has played a critical role in transforming how these companies innovate within a defined corporate structure, he explained. "They all suffer…from the lack of a platform to drive change," Zitney said, "but then comes along Cloud Foundry. A great platform for a technologist, but even better for someone who wants a change in an industry and a change in how the company thinks."
The goal of Zitney's team at Allstate was to transform the company's infrastructure services in a manner that "technology drive[s] business as a technology, and not let the business drive the technology." Given the company's upward momentum among consumers and in the stock market in recent years, it was difficult to make the case to disrupt its technological infrastructure. The approach Zitney's team advocated was one in which new applications and services were developed in real-time, through close collaboration among stakeholders, rather than releasing discrete products after a long development time.
Moreover, the switch to a more agile development approach had to be made without the company sacrificing the quality of ongoing customer services, which include processing over 18,000 claims per day and managing the second-largest roadside assistance program in the United States. Despite these figures, Zitney stated, it's increasingly critical that the company change how it does business. "Everybody is going to disrupt the insurance industry," he said. "It hasn't been disrupted in eighty-plus years."
Part and parcel with disrupting how they deliver technology, Cloud Foundry has also prompted Allstate to transform its developer methodology to meet the capabilities of the platform. After six months of using Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Allstate developers are delivering workable environments within 90-180 days, a major change within a risk-averse industry such as insurance services.
The challenge within such an enterprise becomes not the technology—Zitney swore by Pivotal Cloud Foundry's ability to provision a development environment within 15 minutes—but what the company will build and deliver on top of this platform. The goal, Zitney said, is to be able to deploy a minimal viable product on a Friday that has been envisioned by developers and product managers on a Monday. This requires a shift in not only development approaches but the mentality and corporate culture.
By empowering developers to provision an environment and begin coding within minutes rather than months, an enterprise can not only greatly increase efficiency and reduce cost, but also have the freedom to experiment and innovate without great risk. Moreover, the test-driven development approach that Pivotal Cloud Foundry enables cuts back on delivery risk, reducing defects and increasingly the stability of the products and services released to customers.
In the long view, Zitney detailed, this shift not only allows large enterprises to innovate, but also scale their services at a speed and level of effectiveness that would have once been unimaginable.

Trump's Ratings Reach New Heights Ahead Of Mid-Terms
There hasn't been a President who can work the crowd like President Trump. He is completely in tune with his base of supporters. And, what really ties his base to him so tightly is that he covers all the issues that he campaigned on, puts out a ton of information and it's all factual. This is so different from most every other President.
The recent rally he held in Minn. Is a good example. The building was packed, the crown full of enthusiasm and highly energized. He uses the 'fake news' media as an enemy/target and the crowd loves it. He describes Pelosi and Schumer in terms the crowd loves to hear. Previous President's would not say anything derogatory, or remain politically correct in calling out an adversary politician.
Just as with the NK issue, he has worked the immigration issue well. I see his plan as to get the GOP position into legislation, past the house and waiting on a Senate vote. Then, come November, the GOP may pick up enough Senate seats to get a bill passed. If he doesn't get the votes to approve the bill his next move would be to shut down the gov;t. The Rep's can't vote for amnesty and the dim's can't vote for the wall so, the only position Trump has is to shut down the gov't and wait for dim capitulation. Both sides will bitch and moan but I hope Trump will just stretch his arse over their heads and let it go.
The President has so many positives going for him right now that by mid-terms he should be in a really strong position. Namely, the economy, NK, military upgrade, deregulations, fair/merit based trade and, most recently, actually changed immigration law to stop the separation of children from parents in border crossing issues. Companies returning to, and investing in US, plans for a 'space' based defense system, on and on . . . . . .
The dim's are going to run on Pelosi, Schumer and 'amnesty'. Maybe they can recruit Sanford (SC). Go for it.
The big ONE the President has going for him is the fast approaching FBI scandal. Congress is getting the documents relating to the Hillary email investigation and the Trump collusion investigation. One of the main players, FBI agent Peter Strozh ? will be grilled on Capitol Hill this week and more will follow from that. The timing is right on for the mid-term elections.
The Mueller Investigation is daid in it's tracks at this point. Information re the rogue FBI agents has made this investigation, any findings, any convictions all null and void. That is a big plus for Trump going forward. The trials will take place over the next two years and that too, will be a big ONE for Trump in running for a second term.
Life is just too, too good in Trump Country, USA. . . .
More good news Roy are the Trump administration proposed rules that would make it easier for small businesses — and some self-employed folks — to band together and buy health insurance.
Obamacare is shrinking and, with any luck, will be gone by the 2020 elections.Posted by: Royal Flush at June 24, 2018 3:39 PM
Right Royal. The mandate is gone and the tax penalty ceases in 2019. Assuredly, we will see a drop in many premiums next year. Still, the establishment and left will argue that insurance prices would be cheaper if there was one world wide policy!!
It's so comforting to know we have a leader working to take us away from one worldism. Several countries are beginning to feel folks pushing back on one worldism, open borders and similar.
If Hillary had won the election it would be all over for US sovereignty. Had one of the GOP candidates won the presidency the dim's would have 'gone along with it' knowing the GOP'ers would support one world policies. But, when Trump won and promised to carry out what he campaigned on the establishment and the dim's are fighting, not only to save one worldism, bug to take down the present administration thru any means necessary, legal or not.
I'm really hoping that the Trump conservatives can wrest a good number of seats from Trump haters in the mid-terms. If they don't win more seats then I would hope the moderates go to a voting system whereby a majority is not required.
We've got to get the wall built Trump promised that and he has to get it done.Posted by: Roy Ellis at June 24, 2018 4:34 PM
When you see talking heads crying you know there's something wrong in Oz!
The battle is still waging. When I voted for Trump I foresaw the convictions of major public figures. I foresaw the exposure of a criminal enterprise within our federal government. I should say I still foresee these episodes in our country's history, but they have yet to come to fruition to my satisfaction. I'm not giving up hope on my expectations.
When the opposition demands immediate satisfaction to their own perceived grievances, it is no wonder it takes so long to achieve results. According to the losers of the last election we have to erase Trump's election before there can be any discussion. The losers are demanding the maintenance of the status quo as a prerequisite for any discussion to take place! Hey! Elections have consequences, remember?
I'm still committed to seeing a number of public figures suffer the consequences of their behavior. It's the only way we're going to tame the savage beast that controls the blue areas. When the untouchable elite get grabbed by the penal system the sheeple who depend on that elite will have to find alternatives. The sooner the better, and I'm not in favor of compromising!
We won the election. We're still fighting the initial battle! We can't expect to build Rome in a day. It's going to take a while, and so far it's going very well. Even the hardest stone get's worn away by a constant abrasive. The operative word is constant. I haven't seen Trump give up yet. I've seen him give and take, but he hasn't given up anything principal. People still laugh when he pokes fun at the media and the establishment. That means the people are backing him up.
The weeping on the left is a condition of their mental state. Like the crying child in the media, it's a temporary condition, and increasingly false. It will go away. Let's not let it distract us from the long term goal of draining the swamp and MAGA!Posted by: Weary Willie at June 24, 2018 5:35 PM

WOW…this is even worse for the Libbies than I predicted.
"According to a CNBC All-America Economic Survey of 800 U.S. adults, 51 per cent approve of Trump's economic job performance. Just 36 per cent give him a thumbs-down.
But his base of support on the economy now includes three in 10 Democrats, a number that will likely stun his political opponents as they consider the looming midterm congressional elections."

Wow you take a few days off and the Trumpsters think the world is all of a sudden fell of it axis and down is up and up is down. My favorite lie in this thread is this one about Trump, " puts out a ton of information and it's all factual. This is so different from most every other President." I mean with a straight face Roy tries to sell us on the big lie, just keep repeating it Roy it worked for Goebbels.
The irony in this statement is also amusing " He uses the 'fake news' media as an enemy/target and the crowd loves it. He describes Pelosi and Schumer in terms the crowd loves to hear. Previous President's would not say anything derogatory, or remain politically correct in calling out an adversary politician."
Insulting others is now considered an acceptable alternative to PC by the right wing. Except of course when they are insulted, they they whine like losers. When the truth is told about Trump you guys get butt hurt but it is ok for Trump to lie and insult people because in your mind that makes him not like other politicians! How f**king stupid is that?
But for outright "maybe we should have an IQ test to vote" lunacy this one tops them all,"When I voted for Trump I foresaw the convictions of major public figures. I foresaw the exposure of a criminal enterprise within our federal government. I should say I still foresee these episodes in our country's history, but they have yet to come to fruition to my satisfaction. I'm not giving up hope on my expectations." ROTFLMAO. Weary you voted for him anyway knowing about his criminal enterprise! Thinking he would be the major public figure doing the perp walk and you consider this a badge of honor! That sure isn't draining the swamp is it? BTW how do you forsee history? And just so you know I don't think anyone is giving up hope that we will see Trump's crime family doing the perp walk before his term is out.Posted by: j2t2 at June 26, 2018 1:43 PM

OH please Roy that was back in the 60's, your "news" source is only giving you half the picture.
So Roy you seem desperate to convince yourself and others that you guys are racially unbiased. Why? You have voter suppression, a propaganda machine that Hitler would envy and a whole lotta rich folks pulling the strings. To hear You, Royal and DBS tell it you guys are a shoo in for the elections seeing as everything is going so good according to you guys. Yet you bring up this old fake news as if you are worried about the elections…what gives?
You know what I said about your comment has absolutely zero to do with your response, at least as far as I can tell, so what are your concerns, is something just not right in far right field land? Do you have that nagging feeling the wheels are about to come off the Trump bus?Posted by: j2t2 at June 26, 2018 2:41 PM
Hey j2t2, I am actually sending money to Maxine Waters in hopes she is encouraged to continue with her outrageous comments. She is the best mouth piece for Liberalism that we could ever hope for. She actually shows her hate and exposes the real intent of Liberals and Socialists.Posted by: Royal Flush at June 26, 2018 3:28 PM
Royal I know… imagine…that uppity liberal talking back to Trumpsters. But hey we all got a tax cut that lasts until Trumps term is up then the s**t hits the fan for individuals and families so keep focusing on Waters Royal just like Trump and his cronies want you to.
Why is it when Maxine Waters goes off on an anti-PC rant you guys don't get all gushy and try to tell us she is better than the other politicians? When Trump does it you guys get all sentimental and treat him like a demigod.Posted by: j2t2 at June 26, 2018 4:34 PM
Trump is no different than any of the other repub/conservative presidents since Reagan. He has cut taxes and raised the debt and deficit in an attempt to bankrupt the country. Hiding behind the flag and his faux patriotism, just like the the rest of the repub presidents since Reagan,while charging the military buildup on our grandkids credit card. You guys then tell us he is different he isn't a regular politician yet here we are.Posted by: j2t2 at June 26, 2018 4:43 PM
"Why is it when Maxine Waters goes off on an anti-PC rant…"
OH Sorry j2t2; she has gone way beyond that. She is calling for all Hillary identified "deplorables" to be treated the same as Black folks were before Civil Rights legislation.
When I sent her money, I did it as an anonymous Texas "Closet Liberal". She thanked me and told me to "get ready to fight".
LOL…my side has over five trillion bullets. What does the Left have, hatred and loathing.
According to j2t2, Republicans "cut taxes and raise the debt".
OK…Democrats raise taxes and raise the debt by $10 Trillion.
We win…you loose j2t2.Posted by: Royal Flush at June 26, 2018 5:08 PM

Hey Rich. Should we petition the Republicans in congress and President Trump to give Maxine some kind of award for services rendered in defeating Liberalism and hatred?Posted by: Royal Flush at June 26, 2018 5:18 PM
R.F. give her a medal for services rendered, then boot her ignorant prejudice A$$ out of Congress.Posted by: Rich KAPitan at June 26, 2018 5:48 PM
OH Sorry j2t2; she has gone way beyond that. She is calling for all Hillary identified "deplorables" to be treated the same as Black folks were before Civil Rights legislation.
So let me get this straight it is "way beyond" because Waters suggested the White Nationalist Clinton referred to got a taste of their own medicine! FFS guys what a bunch of candy a**es you are. So emotional when the advice is being directed towards your team.
She thanked me and told me to "get ready to fight".
So you trolled her, misrepresented yourself to her and gave her a pittance, no doubt, and she thanked you anyway! So what do you think Royal when she said get ready to fight? Did you start counting bullets because you thought she meant literally not figuratively "get ready to fight"? I would say the yoke is on you.
According to j2t2, Republicans "cut taxes and raise the debt".
So Royal are you defending tax cuts and borrowing during boom times as sound economic policy? Then after the cut and borrow economics or Trumponomics we start trade wars and threaten businesses with taxes if they go elsewhere, is that also something you support?
We win…you loose j2t2.
Were it true Royal, your proclamation is anti-American. We all lose especially our lids and grand kids Royal. Your short term corpocracy thinking may cause you to think you are winning but we will all share the results of the Trumponomics you defend.Posted by: j2t2 at June 26, 2018 7:48 PM
What Maxine Waters is doing is doing is inciting violence against her political enemies, against us. If the left starts a civil war in this country, we will finish it. Be careful what wish for because it will be the end of Marxism in this country.Posted by: dbs at June 27, 2018 6:04 AM

Wow, the hateful conservatives are counting bullets and already blaming liberals for starting a civil war while blaming others for hatred! They seem to forget the attacks they have made on liberals since the 80's and especially since Obama came to office. They seem to have forgotten what they admired about Trump, the insulting of others, when they are the brunt of the comment.
Why would anyone, even conservatives, be so lame as to believe Waters has started anything seeings as Trump has encouraged white nationalist to rally and unite in an attempt to push back on civil rights for minorities for the past two years. Waters has simply called for people to oppose the White nationalist, Nazis, Fascist and conservatives who want to go back to 3/5ths of a person.
Be careful what wish for because it will be the end of Marxism in this country.
What Marxism, where dbs? Seems to me it is in your mind but not out here in the real world. Repubs control the vast majority of statehouses, and governors mansions. Not to mention the White House and they have the majorities in both houses of Congress. Perhaps you are confusing Fascism with Marxism dbs.
Your unhinged claims and threat against your fellow Americans proves to us you have fallen victim to conservative movement propaganda. They have sought to divide Americans for decades now with their culture wars. It has been conservatives and far right extremist that have been hoarding guns and ammunition for years as they planned their overthrow of the people and the government. Now they have Waters encouraging civil rights advocates and they get all butt hurt and with the use of hyperbole and …well…myths, misinformation, half truths and outright lies to start the fight to keep Putin…er..um.. Trump in power.Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 8:19 AM

If there is a civil war it will be because of idiots like Maxine Waters who have idiots who take and follow every ignorant rant that comes out of their mouths. We have seen just how ignorant the left can be at the inauguration of Trump. Even the Hollywood elite have been spewing hate.Posted by: Rich KAPitan at June 27, 2018 9:22 AM
KAP Is this because the world just started spinning yesterday? I mean you seem to have forgot our shared history. Waters is responding to your teams words and deeds. Why even today you guys think spewing the truth is spewing hate. Yet you don't see what you have done the past decade when Obama was president and of course you have forgotten the campaign to divide us started by the Reagan Revolution. You have been played my friend your hatred has been flamed for years by conservative propagandist yet you think you are above it.
You are a tool KAP being used by the far right to spread hate and divisiveness. Your ego has been bruised by those that stand up to Trump because of this hatred they have instilled in you. You hate those lazy welfare loafers and immigrants legal or illegal because you were deceived into believing they are the problem. Meanwhile you support the real people who seek to divide us.
Your anger is directed at those who want the same rights you have had. The same opportunity you have had.Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 9:59 AM

j2t2, you feckless cunt. The only thing your mouth is good for is a cock holster. Go put your grand kids in cages so they can be raped by pedophiles.
You have no right to be offended, j2t2. Those were just jokes. Remember, the left set the bar.Posted by: Weary Willie at June 27, 2018 10:50 AM
Weary, Jokes? what jokes are you referring to? Why was no one laughing at your "jokes" if they were "jokes"?
Anyway why are you proving my point without so much as a counter argument?
Trump lowered the bar considerably Weary, not that the left set the bar as much as the right and their TRC's of the early 80's set the bar lower and lower over the years.
You know Weary you seem a bit butt hurt over this thread. So much so in fact your hatred and anger has overridden your ability to communicate your pain effectively. Why not cool off a bit and put some specifics into a comment so we can discuss what is bothering you. I mean you seem to be saying "Insulting others is now considered an acceptable alternative to PC by the right wing".Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 12:12 PM
So Trump says things that are insulting so that gives Mad Maxie the right to possibly cause violence. Even you j2 have called the right Nazis. This type of rhetoric will cause a civil war and has to stop. We need to go back to civil debate.Posted by: Rich KAPitan at June 27, 2018 12:56 PM
The left has only name calling and crudeness to fall back on. They're done as a national influence. They are worse than what Trump is accused of.
j2t2, are you trying to put your words in my mouth? How badly do you need a reply? I was only demonstrating the hypocrisy your comment demonstrated.
Your party needs to be honest with the American people if you want it to have any kind of credibility. So far the threats and foul mouthed insults aren't winning any hearts and minds.Posted by: Weary Willie at June 27, 2018 1:36 PM
To "possible cause violence" KAP! How much time should we give you before we can say her remarks didn't cause violence? I mean she was in front of a live crowd…right? Yet no violence! Do you think a week from know some people are going say to themselves Maxine said…." and go on some sort of a violent spree attacking anyone wearing a MAGA hat! Really KAP you are a victim of the conservative propaganda machine and their hyperbole.
BTW Trump has urged his followers to go punch people ">https://newrepublic.com/minutes/128896/beat-protester-trumps-rally-hell-cover-legal-fees"> and he would pay their legal fees. Yet the civility we see in our country is all Waters fault! Jesus you guys are something, get out of the conservative propaganda loop and get the bigger picture.
KAP can you show me where I have called the right Nazis? What I have repeatedly said was you conservative movement followers blindly follow Trump like the people of Germany did in the late 1920's and early 30's. I have said Trump and many conservatives are Authoritarians in nature and the right has moved farther and farther right since the days of Nixon, to the point of Fascism. I have handed out Goebbels awards for propaganda to some here on WB for their outstanding work as propagandist. I have called neo-Nazis, White nationalist and similar groups as well as their supporters Nazis because they are in fact self proclaimed Nazi's. But I don't recall calling all of those people on the right Nazis. So without taking things out of context can you find something where I referred to all right wingers as Nazi's?Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 1:55 PM
"The left has only name calling and crudeness to fall back on" says the guy who just said "j2t2, you feckless cunt. The only thing your mouth is good for is a cock holster. Go put your grand kids in cages so they can be raped by pedophiles"'
Weary you lack credibility when you let your anger and hatred get the best of you. Of course you were only doing it because…hypocrisy… but the rest of us well that is a different story! Do you realize just how lame an argument you are making up here?
Weary what you are doing is projecting, you need to think for a bit about what you are implying here.
1. Your team likes Trump because he insults anyone and everyone unlike other politicians. But when Waters does it then it is civil war time!
2. Trump has lied more in his short time in office than most other modern presidents combined. He has zero credibility.
3. It is alright with your team when Trump threatens violence and offers to pay for the legal fees for those that commit violence at his request yet you condemn Waters when you take her comments literally instead of figuratively.
Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 2:07 PM
I was only demonstrating your hypocrisy, j2t2. You said the insults are from the right wing. I simply demonstrated how the left insults the right on national TV while hundreds of viewers are watching. Your statement was insulting with hypocrisy dripping from it. It looks as if you're the one who is butt hurt. Are you fake weeping as well?Posted by: Weary Willie at June 27, 2018 2:20 PM

New SC Judge time. Can't wait for the left's excuses for obstructing the nominee. I wonder if the Democratics are going to sic their goons on the next appointee when he's in public.Posted by: Weary Willie at June 27, 2018 2:48 PM
Weary What I said was the uncivil discourse was started by the conservative movement in the early 80's, not that insults weren't hurled back and forth prior to that, but it was Limbaugh and his ilk that set the bar lower and conservative talk radio jocks proliferated with name calling to gain audience share. Since that time it has become a back and forth discourse. Do you remember the slide downhill, say when the twit from Carolina called Obama a liar during the SOTU, and then Trump came on the political scene and the bar dropped to it lowest level ever,IMHO.
BTW hypocrisy is when you tell me it is ok for Trump to insult but not be insulted.
KAP, hmmm…..does pigf**ker sound like Nazi? Or did I use a German term for pigf**ker? I really don't recall using the term but hey we all make mistakes right? Besides I'm pretty sure I meant that in the kindest way possible, and probably meant it figuratively not literally, you know a term of endearment…Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 2:54 PM
Obstructing the nominee, Weary you know there is no time limit to the Senate approval for SC judges. Not only that we all know Trump didn't win the popular election only the electoral college so IMHO we should wait for the people to decide in 2020 who should rightfully select the replacement for Kennedy.Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 2:57 PM
WOW…who can believe that j2t2 is defending Maxine Waters' outrageous statements and urgings. She is calling for malicious menacing of public figures with whom she disagrees.
She is helping Republican candidates by showing the true feelings and hatred of Liberals and some Democrats.
Hurrah for the Supreme Court. Recent rulings have shown a court that takes its guidance from our constitution; not political favoritism.
President Trump now has an opportunity to nominate another Supreme Court justice. We are confident he will nominate a person who follows the constitution.Posted by: Royal Flush at June 27, 2018 3:03 PM
j2, It may not sound like Nazi but it shows how low you have sunk. You freely call out the right when they screw up but defend remarks like that and those of an IDIOT prejudiced person like Waters.Posted by: Rich KAPitan at June 27, 2018 3:31 PM
Well KAP you say I said that but like I said I just don't recall doing it. I mean I usually reserve the term pigf**ker for Buckeye fans during college football season. After all the things I hear about those people down there it only seems fitting. But politically I don't really recall using it.
Anyways as I have said, yes I do call out the right but only because I have to. You guys have the same sort of amnesia about what your team has been saying for the past 40 years after all. You would have us believe Waters is the instigator of violent comments by our politicians when we have seen Trump doing it for the past two years, actually threatening violence and paying for the legal costs for those that commit violence not some made up crap like you guys tell us Waters has said.
Lets also remember that it was you guys , by your own account if we are to give credence to your anti-PC stance,who for many years were the ones name calling while my team was so very PC…right?
Finally I understood what got the attention of conservatives and low and behold it was insults and name calling that got your attention, certainly not facts. So yes I have returned many of the insults right back on your team. It is what has led to the lack of civil discourse between the two sides. Before that it was partially civil as we refrained from lowering our standards to your level KAP.
But as we have discovered you guys are so PC when it is your ox getting gored but anti-PC when you are doing the goring. Even now you call Waters names while defending and praising Trump while blaming me for doing the same thing, which as we know is called hypocrisy.Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 3:54 PM
WOW…who can believe that j2t2 is defending Maxine Waters' outrageous statements and urgings. She is calling for malicious menacing of public figures with whom she disagrees.
I can believe it Royal. First of all your hyperbole is an exaggeration, She is calling out the appeasers but malicious menacing! Really Royal because the restaurant owner exercised her right to refuse service to people like Huckabilly is a public service IMHO. The appeaser for the Trump administration is known for her lack of character and her reputation is one of ill repute.
Here is a bit of opinion from others battling the populist in other countries as well as this one.Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 5:47 PM
We always enjoy reading stuff written by our Pal j2t2. When he is not busy calling us fascists or Nazi's, he is writing like he is one.
It is expected that j2t2 admires folks like Maxine; as they do what he only dreams about.Posted by: Royal Flush at June 27, 2018 6:10 PM
Royal off your meds again I see. To bad, I was hoping you would offer an intelligent rebuttal to my argument, but you just can't seem to do that choosing instead to offer up nonsense, vague assertions and drivel. Come back when you have something intelligent to say.Posted by: j2t2 at June 27, 2018 6:38 PM
AWWW…now our Buddy j2t2 is sulking and has gone to sit on his "pity-pot" for solace.
We all agree that our Liberal Pals love what Maxine is doing; despite their knowledge that action like that will render them powerless come election time.
The fringe wing of the Democrat Party have been wagging the dog. But, the party leaders are really worried. They must find a way to silence Maxine and folks like j2t2 who fawn over her.

Welcome to No Head For Heights, a little blog about running, walking, adventuring and occassional real ale drinking.
Why the name No Head for Heights?
I don't have a proper fear of heights but I am certainly not a big fan of them either. Whilst I enjoy advenutures in the great outdoors you won't find me traversing ridges, getting too close to edges or looking down too often.
The idea for the name popped into my head during a walk up Snowdon. I reached the top, climbed up the steps to the summit and got a bit wobbly at the very top. I exclaimed in a moment of fear that I really don't have a head for heights, not ideal for someone who enjoys mountains.

Shin splints are troublesome and frustrating for a wide variety of active individuals, including runners, tennis players, soccer players, basketball players, and even dancers. Whether they're beginners ramping up their training regimens or advanced, experienced athletes who are changing up their routines, shin splints can be a real problem that keeps the highest performing athletes and active individuals on the sidelines.
In this blog, the Arlington podiatrists at AllCare Foot & Ankle Center will help you understand what shin splints are, how they occur, and what you can do about them. With enough knowledge and proactive strategies, you'll be able to reduce the risk of shin splints, and deal with them more effectively when they arise.
What are shin splints?
Shin splints are typically classified as an overuse injury, highlighted by very small tears in muscle and bone tissue on the shin or the front of the leg. Sometimes, muscle actually peels off the bone slightly. These tiny tears cause sharp pain, swelling, and discomfort that intensifies with weight and pressure on the area, which means running., walking, and standing can become difficult.
What causes shin splints?
Shin splints are often caused by the overexertion of muscles, tendons, and bones in the shin, and can be catalyzed by a variety of issues. Poor/inadequate stretching, ill-fitting running shoes, overpronation (especially in the case of medial shin splints), or running and moving on hard surfaces for long periods of time.
Shin splints come in many different forms—they can be a tiny tear of the sheath-like substance around the bone, a tear of the muscle, an inflammation of the muscle, or a combination of all three. Fortunately, all types of shin splints require the same or similar treatment.
What's the best course of treatment?
In almost every case, the first step to treating shin splints is to reduce or eliminate physical activity entirely. This gives the shin(s) time to heal. To reduce pain and inflammation, ice the shin regularly. These two steps are the best go-to treatment options for your shin splints, but there are plenty of other treatments you can use to strengthen and heal your shins, like light and gentle shin muscle stretching. This should only be performed near the end of the healing process, or with the consent of your podiatrist—always ask before you stretch.
How do I avoid shin splints?
Runners get shin splints more than any kind of athlete. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways runners can reduce the risk of shin splints and other serious complications surrounding them:
- 1. Build gradually. If you're starting a running regimen or getting back in the game, start slowly and gradually increase your running pace and volume. You're not going to run five miles on your very first run—start with a mile or two and build up over the course of a few months.
- 2. Run with a short stride. The longer your stride becomes, the more stretching and strain your shins face as they try to slow you down and help you turn. This can become extremely taxing for your shins, especially at the end of a long workout. If you're just getting started with running, keep a shorter stride, then move to a longer stride as you progress.
- 3. Wear supportive shoes. While some people think "minimalist" running shoes are all the rage, they're not for new runners. Going barefoot or wearing minimalist shoes will dramatically increase the risk of shin splints, as this puts more pressure on your feet and shins to absorb pressure. When you're starting out, ease the pressure on your body and buy shoes that offer plenty of cushion and support.
When do I need to see a podiatrist?
Not all shin pain is caused by shin splints. In certain cases, shin pain could be caused by a stress fracture—a small, incomplete crack in the bone—that feels like a shin splint but is far more serious in nature and usually comes with pain and inflammation that's more severe. Shin splints are often self-treatable—but If you suspect you might have a stress fracture, you should schedule an appointment with your local podiatrist. A bone scan will most likely be necessary for an accurate diagnosis of your injury.
Trust Your Arlington Podiatrist
If you're getting shin splints repeatedly, experiencing severe shin pain, or want to avoid shin problems completely, trust the foot doctors at AllCare Foot & Ankle Center. We're happy to help you develop strategies to keep you healthy and active, and provide top-tier medical care in our Dallas and Arlington locations. Schedule an appointment today!

This blog isn't going to be anything fancy – at least to start. We'll see where it goes and whether I actually post. This past October (2012), I was researching gyms in the area and specifically looking for some higher-end gyms that also offered pools. Although I couldn't find any near by, I did come across a number of reviews and discussions for nearby Crossfit "boxes."
I've heard Crossfit mentioned here and there over the last couple of years and did catch some of last year's Crossfit Games on ESPN. I thought … what the heck? And signed up for the "Foundations" course at my local box – Ballston Crossfit. It is a 2-week/3 days per week introductory course to the foundational moves of Crossfit. I started, and I was hooked!
My first, official WoD (Crossfit lingo for "Workout of the Day") was specially developed by the owner of BCF in honor of Hurricane Sandy (this was as the Hurricane moved up the East coast, brought rain and winds to the D.C. metro area, and closed schools, the government, and most places in the private sector – before bringing utter destruction to New Jersey and New York). The "Hurricane Sandy" WoD was certainly one way to be introduced into Crossfit. Yes, I did significantly scale that workout 🙂
Something that goes hand-in-hand with Crossfit is nutrition. In fact, if you look at the Crossfit pyramid, the foundation of Crossfit is nutrition:
There is no prescribed nutrition regimen for Crossfit, but many Crossfitters follow a "paleo" or "primal" lifestyle. You can read more about Mark Sisson and the Primal Blueprint on Mark's blog. There are numerous sources on paleo all over the web.
I heard about all of this when I started Crossfit and actually came across the Whole9's "Whole30." I thought it sounded interesting and contemplated finding a 30-day window in which to revamp my eating habits. Then I heard that BCF would be starting a 6 week nutrition challenge at the end of January – sign me up!
That's exactly what I did. We had our kickoff seminar on January 23, with the official start of the program commencing on January 24. It will end on March 6. The challenge is based largely on the Primal Blueprint, and we are awarded points for eating well, working out, and completing various bonus activities. We lose points for "cheating" on our meal plan. We also completed "Fight Gone Bad," a "benchmark WoD" on January 23 so that we have something against which we can compare our results at the end of the challenge.
Stay tuned for some recipes (likely links to recipes I've found and tried) as well as tips for grocery shopping.

All That Glitters wins Healthy Workplaces Film Award.
All That Glitters, a thought-provoking film about a worker in a goldmine in an inhospitable region of Kyrgyzstan, has been announced as the winner of the second Healthy Workplaces Film Award for the best documentary on work-related topics.
The award is supported by the European Agency for Safety and Healthy at Work (EU-OSHA) as part of its mission of promoting safer and healthier workplaces in Europe.
EU-OSHA director Jukka Takala said All That Glitters was a worthy winner of the award as it highlighted the complexity of managing occupational safety and health in a high risk environment. The film explores the company's relationship with the community against the backdrop of a decade-old environmental disaster of which repercussions are still being felt.
Upon accepting the trophy and €8,000 (£6,990) prize at the 53rd International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film, Tomas Kudrna, director of the winning film, said his film showed the importance of strict safety precautions when working at altitude with dangerous chemicals to extract gold from rock.

Captain America Now Captain England?
Government supported unions are destroying industries and now they even made Captain America move to England. Warner Todd Huston has the story:
California's Democrats have forced the upcoming Captain America movie to be filmed in England. Why would that be, Buckey? Because it's just too expensive to film the movie in California because of the Democrat's punitive taxes.Continue reading>>>
For Yahoo Movies, Mike Ryan asks a seminal question: Should We Now Call Him 'Captain England'? In his lament, Ryan worries over the U.S. film industry as movies and TV shows flee America, specifically California, for the cheaper production rates of Canada and England.

Arthritis is a common ailment for many dogs and cats. It can be a source of chronic pain and negatively affect their quality of life. Also known as degenerative joint disease, arthritis occurs when a joint is unstable. This causes the bones to move abnormally, first rubbing against cartilage and then, when the cartilage erodes, rubbing bone against bone. The result is chronic inflammation and is just as painful as it sounds. Preventing arthritis in dogs and cats is the key first step for pet owners.
The most obvious sign of joint disease is when a dog or cat starts limping. However, there are numerous other subtle signs that may indicate your pet is uncomfortable. Perhaps your dog doesn't charge up the stairs like he used to. Maybe your older pet seems to be "slowing down." Cats may start urinating or defecating out of the litter box because it is too painful for them to jump into it. These are just a few examples. Bottom line: if you notice any changes in your pet's behavior, talk with your veterinarian immediately.
Fortunately, there are many ways to prevent arthritis from developing as well as to treat it once it has set in.
Let's start with prevention:
Start your large breed puppy off right by feeding a diet specifically designed for him. If growth occurs too quickly then the joints may form abnormally resulting in joint disease. Large breed puppy food is developed specifically to make sure your pet receives the correct nutritional balance so his bones and joints develop at an appropriate rate. Once your dog or cat reaches adulthood focus on keeping them at a healthy weight. Carrying around even a few extra pounds can be very taxing on joints and quickly lead to arthritis.
Never take a young dog running. The joints and bones of large breed dogs do not stop growing until the dog is approximately two years of age. For small breeds this occurs at one year old but I think people are less likely to go jogging with their Chihuahua. If you start running with your dog while he is still growing, you risk damaging the growth plate. Even a small defect in the development of joints can lead to instability and eventually arthritis. If the defect is big enough, in a year or two you could have a four-year-old dog living in chronic pain.
Have your puppy's hip alignment evaluated. At Friendship Hospital we manipulate the hips of all our canine patients when they are under anesthesia for spay or neuter. We are looking for looseness that may indicate hip dysplasia is present or that there is the potential for joint disease. We also strongly recommend that all large breed dogs have an x-ray taken of their hips at this time. Because the dog is under anesthesia, we are able properly position him for the x-ray, so that we can accurately evaluate the hip joints. If we feel looseness or see anything abnormal on the x-ray we can then make recommendations for preventing joint disease.
Use Cosequin. I feel that at about age two, all large breed dogs should be on a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement. This helps repair and maintain cartilage. In my opinion, the best brand is Cosequin, a supplement made by Nutramax. A recent study found that in many human products, there were large discrepancies between the level of active ingredients that was supposed to be in the supplement and what was actually there. I have toured the Nutramax plant and feel confident that they are producing a premium product.
Don't forget the fish oil. I consider the Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil to be a wonder supplement. Along with helping just about every system in the body they also decrease inflammation in joints and boost the effectiveness of other drugs. In fact, I believe all animals should be on an omega-3 fatty acid supplement for life.
In my next post I will continue the discussion about arthritis and give you tips on how to keep pets that may already have arthritis pain free.

For-profit corporations are owned privately. An individual, a group of investors, or a corporation that owns a chain of skilled nursing care centers can hold ownership. For-profit centers may have a much higher overhead since the owners want a return on their investment. The owners set the standards and interpret the regulations. They hire an administrator who will follow their direction, guide the staff to maintain quality care of the residents and will keep the center running with a good profit margin. The administrator must work within the budget set for him/her. Maintaining high standards of care can be very challenging.
Non-profit corporations do not have a private owner and therefore do not pay dividends to anyone. A volunteer board of directors hires an administrator to interpret the rules and regulations and guides the skilled nursing center. The administrator has the same issues that a for-profit administrator has, but a big difference is the non-profit administrator has more financial liberty to get the job done. He/she is able to increase staffing as needed, increase spending on needed supplies and repairs, and has more freedom to get higher quality of food. If revenue is higher than expenses, it is put back into the community. Since a non-profit is a community benefit corporation, excess revenue is used to enhance the community. The government does not charge these non-profits property tax so the extra funds can be invested in the community. All other fees and taxes are paid in like fashion
Is One Better? Research Says Yes.
In 2012, the Center for Medicare Advocacy looked at the non-profit and the for-profit skilled nursing centers to see if there was a difference in care. The answer they came up with was yes, there is a difference. They found that the non-profit centers were better able to adequately staff with qualified people, provide the necessary supplies and have better Department of Health inspection reports. Non-profit centers across the country tend to have lower prevalence of pressure ulcers, fewer residents on psychotropic medications and have been able to decrease the need to be hospitalized. The study showed that the centers who did not have to pay dividends to the owners had better overall outcomes. The report also states that even though their findings were greatly in favor of the non-profit side of the industry there are for-profit centers that perform very well and there are some non-profits that perform very poorly.
Sierra View Homes Retirement Community and Palm Village are non-profit and strive to put their excess revenue back into the community. Both retirement communities were founded and sponsored by individual churches. Members of the churches put up funds and sweat equity to get the retirement communities started. Although church members are involved, the Board of Directors of each non-profit tries to provide care by its mission or ministry that the founders started with.
It is hard to understand all the differences in the non-profit and for-profit senior living facilities. We are truly lucky to have three quality facilities in our community. Be it the non-profit Board of Directors or the for-profit Owner Investors directing the retirement community, the quality starts with the leadership and the mission to care for the elderly. I have met many for-profit and non-profit leaders who have strong ethics and provide excellent services. So is there a difference between the two? My answer is still "maybe," but I have chosen to work in a non-profit community because I appreciate the ability to work with a board of directors who is committed to a mission of caring for seniors.

The Time has come to replace saw dust and glue panels called OSB.
With a stronger longer lasting System. Get your money's worth, with a concrete based paneled System. With an excellent track record. Time has come to move on to a better solution in the construction of our homes ! !
What we do?
We started working for a sip-panel company 13 years ago. With experience in solding a steel 18 gauge sip-panel system. It was made in Bolivar Tennessee. It was a solid panel but more expensive than a stick build structure.
Teamed up with an Architect from Costa-Rica Federico Aymerich and we began to build homes using a pour-in-place cellular-foam concrete system.
We have found the best solution for build a stronger, longer lasting dwelling. But most of all something that will out perform and out live what we produce today in the States.
About Us
We them began to promote a panel system from a company in Texas it was a Styrofoam steal stud panel system called Inerlock.
1900 sq. Ft Single story unit.
This house can also we build in 1500 sq. ft.100% Concrete based House, using a panel-system. 3/2 We can also add metal garage doors made in Mexico.....
For Houston we can reduce this size of this house to 1500 sq. ft. / 1700 sq. ft.
Zero-Sticks used to build this house 100% Concrete based home can withstand 220 mph winds. System is ICC-Certified. So Much Better than STICK BUILD !
