1. I can't get up at the crack of dawn to carpe fucking diem because I'm out five nights a week chasing laughter and the moonlight.
2. I don't want to wake up feeling comfortable. Fuck comfort. I want to wake up and know I've woken up, I want to feel my life as it happens and if that means a throbbing headache, so be it; I'd rather dance in the dark than under a rainbow.
3. Eat whatever you want, idiots.
4. My breakfast happens at 1pm and I'd like to read whilst I eat it, thank you very much.
5. I don't need to stretch, nor do I need to reach for the sky; I am not a member of S Club 7 and my head is already in the clouds.
6. Drink all the water your body needs, put a chopped up lemon in your bottle but never neglect iced tea and vodka - whatever your poison, indulge yourself in it sometimes. Striving for perfection in any aspect of your life is just going to disappoint you; have a shot every now and then.
7. If you're living life, you might not have time to write down your activities until four in the morning. Your life record may be scribbled onto receipts as you ride the train. That's okay too; it doesn't have to be beautiful to be valid.
8. Sleep on a pile of towels if you have to. Sleep in the grass. Sleep at a new friends' place every night. As long as you're sleeping next to something you love - whether it be a partner or the latest Palahniuk - scented fabric softener won't mean shit.
9. Chaos can be better sometimes.
10. Run into the ocean instead.
11. You don't owe strangers your smile. You don't owe nature your observation. Maybe you don't have a dog to walk.
12. Don't make plans you can't follow through with, it's unfair.
14. Fuck it. Pick up a book because you liked the cover. Pick up a book because the person before you left it behind. Scribble all over it if you want. Tear pages out and cut out words if you want. Pick up no books for a month, then ten in a day. Books will always be there.
15. Be yourself without imposing cliche'd values and movie-romance ideas onto your personality. Do what comes naturally. If you don't want to pay your speeding fines, don't fucking pay them, it's your life. If you don't like old people, don't go and volunteer at their homes, you'll only make everyone there miserable. Find your true bliss rather than assuming you'll know what it is by sticking your tongue out at babies. You'll get there, there's no rush.
16. Don't fucking daydream about it. Do it. Write your own ending." — Fuck Your 'Sixteen Small Steps to Happiness', love Daisy Lola (via tea-storm)
(Source: spearmintblonde, via carapherneliax)
When you're sad:
1. Write letters to the people you love. Don't seal them; don't send them. Instead, stick them between the pages of library books.
2. Eat raspberries off your fingertips.
3. Venture outside and observe natural life. Watch a honey bee suck the nectar from lavender plants. Watch a snail slowly make its way towards the shade of a tree. Watch a hummingbird innocently fly above your head. Realize how insignificant you are.
4. Smile at strangers; say hello. It will improve their day and your own.
5. Write lists. They can be about anything.
6. Read several pages of the dictionary. Learn new words. Write down the ones you wish to remember.
7. Never feel compelled to apologize when you don't feel sorry. It's okay that you're honest. It's okay that you have a different opinion from someone else.
8. Read books and watch movies from your childhood. A healthy dose of nostalgia is okay. Immerse yourself in your past innocence.
9. Walk to a park and get on a swing. Go as high as you can; feel limitless. The world is yours.
10. Eat if you're hungry. Food is not the enemy. You are a human and need food to survive. You deserve to eat. Put those raspberries on your fingers and sprinkle sugar on your tongue. Taste the summer breeze and sweet aroma of jasmine flowers.
11. Don't marinate in your sadness. You are not a steak. You are a person; you're irreplaceable. Open yourself up to contentment. Bathe in the rivers of Glee. Go for hikes with Satisfaction. Sleep in a warm cocoon of blankets with Bliss. Let endless happiness overcome your hopeless sadness. You deserve to be happy. If life is a game and you are the referee, be biased for once and let happiness win." — When You're Sad by thewastedgeneration (don't delete)

Cotton Consultant's Corner
Billy Bryant
Twenty-three years cotton consulting experience
What services do you offer and how do they contribute to your farmer client's profitability?
In January, February and
March, I help most of my growers
What's your approach to processing technology/product information that you eventually pass on to the farmer?
I attend meetings to gather the knowledge I need to offer the latest technology and new product information to create the highest possible yields and bottom line profits. I try to stay on the cutting edge of technology: learn about it, use it and then put it to the test to see if it has a fit on my growers' farms. But the best technology as far as benefits to myself and my growers is a plain old cell phone. Some of the best consultants in the world are in my area, and we all keep in touch with each other nearly every day throughout the growing season. This is good for my growers because it gives me a peripheral vision. I always know what's going on around me and what to expect.
In your career, what's been the biggest change for crop consultants?
Bt cotton and herbicide-resistant technology have changed the way cotton is grown and scouted. Soil sampling techniques also have changed my business. Over the next two years I expect to see widespread use of satellite imagery in cotton, especially with variable rate nitrogen applications.
What has been the most rewarding part of your profession?
As a young boy, I started
doing this type of work, and today I know I am in the right place, and
I love it. When I am an old man, I won't look back with thoughts
of what I could have or should have done. I am where I am supposed to
be. The reward I get from that is that I honestly am a satisfied man.
My wife Debbie is very supportive and is a big part of keeping things
running smoothly. This is a good life that I have.

James Herbert delivers eroticism and magic in ONCE... (4.5) Thom Kindred returns home to recuperate from a stroke and long-buried memories slowly emerge, triggered by a glimpse of the undine Jennet. Jennet awakens his past to strengthen him for an upcoming battle, whose outcome will affect humans and fairies. In a darkly sensual, wholly absorbing fairy tale, Mr. Herbert creates a malevolent atmosphere ready to explode. Vivid characterizations admirably depict elemental creatures that definitely have non-human agendas. (Apr., 384 pp., $26.95)

I wouldn't say great but it's been pretty good. The best free agent signing this season was Steve Weatherford which I would have to say is a huge upgrade from Matt Dodge. He has done such a wonderful job. He came over from the Jets and has just been a great asset to the organization.The return game hasn't been stellar but I would have to say that the coverage unit has performed very well.Now let's skip to why I am writing about a part of the team that is under valued.On Sunday, January 22nd, for the NFC Championship game the Special Teams unit truly epitomized the meaning of special.The game was an absolute slug fest in true NFL football st...

Katharine McPhee Tweeted last night that she got into a car accident but the details are sketchy. And one of her responses was to Dane Cook of all people.
Just had a lovely experience at the local Sherman oaks hospital. Was hit from behind pretty dang hard. My one regret was not wearing makeup.
I was in car accident today in full makeup, hair, wardrobe &background singers.Ugly cops.
One more thing…my car, definitely not going to be ok. It's seen better days.
And VH1's "Behind the Music" tomorrow is with Fantasia at 9 p.m. It happens to air the same day as her album comes out. She confirmed she did try to die on purpose two weeks ago.
"I didn't have any fight in me. I didn't care about anything. I just wanted out," the American Idol winner, 26, tells VH1 in a new Behind the Music interview, airing 9 p.m. ET/PT Tuesday, the same day her new album, Back to Me, is released. "At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with – all of it, all of that [expletive]."
She continues: "I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills."

Sorry to hear this. I can't help but to contrast Fantasia with Diana DeGarmo (she came in 2nd place that year) who seems to be having the time of her life on broadway which is probably where Fantasia should be. She probably has alot of people, who do not have her best interests at heart, pulling her in many different directions.

Ha! Fantasia is a one trick pony. Roles for her type of voice is very limited.
No way can she make a living on broadway.
August 24th, 2010
12:30 am
She will lose her voice on Broadway given her technique. Oh wait… She did get nodules… So until and when she actually sings the correct way and not the gospel way, she will not have a carreer on broadway.

August 24th, 2010

Sounds a little fishy to me. Your try this right when your CD is to be released. Could this be a publicity stunt to get people to buy your CD? And the CD is entitled "BACK TO ME" Interesting!!!! Well if you are going to playing with your life like that then prepare to answer to Almighty God because your life belongs to him because he created you therefore if this is a publicity stunt I hope she is prepared for the consequences.
Hollywood really needs to wake up and stop getting in the business of trying to fool people and most importantly Almighty God.

Thanks linny. I was going to mention the same thing but decided it probably wasn't worth it.
I try not to assume things about anyone on this blog. I try, very hard, to go with what I know about each person who contributes to the discussion. It isn't easy. Occasionally, and without malice, I'll put on the Queen's robes and speak for all of you, which is not my privilege or my right.
Words are just words, but they are all we have here(barring the occasional emoticon)to express a thought. Those words can be carefully thought out or just thrown on the page in the heat of a discussion.
We cannot, at least, we should not EVER make assumptions about a person based on what we read.
For example, writing in a certain vernacular does NOT mean the writer is black. Complaining about the President does NOT mean the writer is a conservative. Writing an opinion that disagrees with most others does not make the writer stupy. Misspelling words or messing up the syntax in a sentence does not make the writer uneducated.
Summer, who expressed an opinion earlier in this thread that I agree with, may be a white person using racist language but may also be a black person calling out Fantasia in what many would think is a completely appropriate way. We don't know one way or the other…until summer tells us…and even then, we still don't really know.

Is it just me or do y'all think this won't go over too well with American audiences:
Producers for the reality singing show "The X Factor" have confirmed today that they've used Auto-Tune tools to enhance the voices of their contestants. An "X Factor" spokesman told the media that the work was necessary because of the number of microphones used during filming.

Deirdre, thanks for 7:59 post. Thoughtful as always. Keep them Queen's robes! Made me think of hubby's first cousin M, from Savannah, English ex-prof at Chapel Hill. One day she spoke gullah in class, when the subject was American dialects, anbd a black student was so upset that a white person knew this "black" language, he beat her up.
Now I read in today's AJC that the DEA is seeking 9 Ebonics translators.

The Fantasia pill popping espisode was all staged for publicity to in part promote her reality show and album….I for one am not falling for it…not one bit…nor will I buy her album or watch the show….as a matter of fact, I muted her out while watching MTV music videos the other day…

Good morning, friends and others. What we are seeing on this thread and others about Fantasia is the ugly pustule of racism being lanced wide open. Hurtful and disgusting, but perhaps healthy to let the poison out and the healing begin. True closet racists would imo never be so thoughtful or earnest in exploring a topic like this.

It just totally amazes me that in this day and age, people are still bigots and racists, and make such heartless, crude comments. I do have my doubts about this whole Fantasia story and question it's credibility (I am black), but we have to remember that she is still a human being and folks need to be a little more sensitive when it comes to peoples lives. I just think it is a little too convenient that all of this is happening JUST when her album is about to come out, a Behind the Music episode is about to be shown, and her reality show will soon start. Talk about a increased visibility!!! If her suicide attempt was not real and all of this was a ploy to increase sales, then she needs help more than we realize.
August 24th, 2010
9:11 am
I think the one comment that bothered me the most in this whole thread(ignoring, of course, the people who try to shock for effect) is I do not have a racist/prejudice bone in my body
IMO, this is not possible. Human nature. Some people are very capable of keeping their built in prejudices under control, some people are very good at recognizing unreasonable thoughts and tamping them down but to say you have no prejudice and then imply that someone else is a racist is, in and of itself, prejudiced.

Good morning. Thanks, D, for the autotune thing. I read that yesterday, and I, for one, do not like the idea at ALL! WTF are they thinking?
August 24th, 2010
9:39 am
The X-Factor people claim that the judges base their opinions on the live(non-enhanced) performance…but what about when the audience starts voting? Do they get to base their opinions on live voices or on Auto-Tuned voices?
August 24th, 2010
9:40 am
Exactly, Dierdre! I absolutely hate this idea. I wonder if the Brit version uses autotune?
August 24th, 2010
9:50 am
It's the Brit version they're, talking about, Harriett. The US version hasn't started yet.
August 24th, 2010
9:54 am
Heck, with autotune EVERYBODY can sing, so why even bother having a "singing" contest! It will be all about looks and marketability.Goodbye chubby people, people with bad teeth or no teeth, etc.
August 24th, 2010
9:55 am
Here's the whole article:
They claim they do it because so many microphones are used during filming. So, if they do it during filming and the show is always filmed(whether it's being broadcast live or not) then can we assume that they do it during shows where the audience votes? Seems like it.
August 24th, 2010

The only reason that Fantasia is being attacked for this affair is because the wife filed suit under an antiquated law in Carolina. Angelina Jolie is the biggest homewrecker of all time. She, however, just did not comment from all the attacks and definitely did not do interviews.
August 24th, 2010

Coming out of hiding, just to say: Auto Tune? H-e-double hockey sticks. NO! It's a TALENT competition. Seriously. I do a mean "lip synching," would y'all pay to see that? Probably not.

Now that she has admitted trying to commit suicide, her overrated crap will be played again!
Anyone notice how steve harvey(bumpkin) and michael baisden don't play her crap since the
"suicide"? Also, did anyone notice steve harvey playing alicia keyes again? I haven't noticed
it since her revelation about being a homewrecker with swiss cheese.
Just saying that the stawberry letter is OK to discuss peoples' business, but don't delve into
alicia keyes(boy) and fatassia!
Lastly, people like gg are dumbasses. Go work for black radio. Even though it's owned by WHITES,
you can still bask in ignorance when you call it the peoples' station.

Dont be stupid. Has morality/prejudices really changed for the better at all ? I would even say that it was worst in the past 1000/2000 years ago. Only thing that has changed is the insistence on being treated equally for most people. However some insist on more as "compensation" for the past.

Dierdre, I thought they were considering it for the US. I completely misread. But, anyway, I am still absolutely stunned that they are doing this. Like Mercedes, anyone can sing with autotune. Grrrrr!
August 24th, 2010
11:26 am
@Deirdre – you took my comment out of context. @Big Jim – grow up! Calling me a "dumbass" says to me that you do not get it! Why would I want to work at a "black" radio station – because I like Fantasia's music? I like Alicia Keys' music and I like Angelina's movies. Just because I like their music/movies does not mean that I approve of what that they do/have done in their personal lives.
I understand that everyone has some sort of prejudice (i.e. women are smarter then men) – "Organizational Behavior 101″. I have a problem when anyone (white or black) who use disparaging racial words to describe an individual or group of people. I do not discriminate on anyone based of their "race".
August 24th, 2010
12:10 pm
Vin…I didn't mean to sound like I was scolding you. I just always cringe when I hear that someone believes that they are free of prejudices. People who are raised in Brooklyn are different than people who are raised in Buffalo. Californians are different than Georgians. Asians are different than Polynesians. To say that white people and black people are the same is to deny their unique qualities. The' same' and 'equal' are 2 different things.
I abhor "racism" but sometimes question how it is defined. When a black person uses racial slurs against another black person…is that racism? It's a legitimate question, I hope, because I don't honestly know how to answer it.
I also admit to being irritated by the large number of people who pop in here and comment only when something controversial is going on and then use those comments against the blog and its regular inhabitants. On most days, the discussions in here are far from controversial but judgments are made based only on the controversial subjects and the 'drive-by" comments by those who want to shock people.

Simon has entered the Auto-Tune fray:
"He only came back from holiday yesterday and as soon as he landed he was very busy taking lots of calls from production and ITV bosses. He said 'the sh** has hit the fan' and was shocked about the fans' reaction and wanted to do something straightaway.
"The integrity of the show is very important to him and so he told production that Auto-Tune cannot be used again. Simon has banned producers from ever using this software again."

Billboards and drug scandals took centre stage at an electoral proposal conference held earlier today, organized by political student organization SDM (Studenti Demokristjani Maltin).
A modest crowd made up almost exclusively of SDM members and supporters filled the KSU common room for the 'Electoral Proposals Conference' organised by Christian-Democrats SDM. Karl Gouder (PN), Mario Mallia (AD) and Owen Bonnici (PL) were invited to "discuss each electoral programme in detail."
Tasked with moderating the event, TV presenter Peppi Azzopardi opened with a discussion on recent PN and PL billboard campaigns. Dr Bonnici discussed his aesthetic reservations on painting the Prime Minister's face blue, to which Mr Azzopardi quipped, "How's that different from painting youths' faces red and white?"
The conference slowly degenerated into a debate on party tenets as portrayed by billboard propaganda, fuelled by Azzopardi's own concerns over a resemblance between the current PL campaign and the 'Malta L' ewwel u qabel kollox' philosophy he claimed was prevalent in the "old Labour party".
Talk then turned to tablet proposals for another sermon ad nauseam. While both Dr Gouder and Dr Bonnici seemed to agree on this proposal, disparaging comments from Dr Mallia offered a different element to a discussion that was otherwise indistinguishable from an episode of populist journal Xarabank.
Answering a question posed by insiteronline.com regarding the decision not to consult the Malta Union of Teachers on the tablet proposal, Dr Bonnici said, "We consulted the MUT on several of our proposals, such as ensuring greater security at schools. We should, however, have consulted the MUT on the tablet issue too. The way forward is through more open discussion with all concerned parties."
For the next round of off-topic discussion, namely the PL's recent drug scandal, Dr Bonnici defended his party's position, claiming the reason the matter was not reported to the police was that members of the Labour Party club's committee were "terrorized" by the whole affair. He quoted an article from The Times which indicated that allegations were "unfounded".
"The Labour party had a moral obligation to investigate this matter and report it," was Dr Gouder's response to this. The conversation inevitably relapsed into a series of 'he said, she said' accusations.
In response to a question asked by insiteronline.com on the future of pensions, Dr Gouder said, "We will work on second pillar pensions in the next legislature; we are committed to tackling the issue and have already put forward a pension reform."
Dr Mallia took the two parties to task for delaying these reforms, pointing out that both the Nationalist and Labour parties were insisting that second pillar pensions be dealt with "later on".
Answering a student question on housing, namely the 56,000 unoccupied properties on the island, Dr Mallia highlighted AD's proposal to tax third properties, attributing high property prices to "house hoarding". "Usually, when supply increases, prices should decrease. But this is not the case in Malta, where property prices are shooting up," he said. This proposal however was quickly shot down by Mr Azzopardi, who did not agree.
The conference forms part of a series of electoral events on campus organized by various organizations as well as KSU. Stay tuned for live updates and video coverage.

Detectives who worked on the murder case of Whitney Heichel said they knew from the start that her Oct. 16 disappearance bore few similarities to other missing person cases.Heichel's neighbor, Jonathan Holt, admitted to police he waited outside her apartment and asked for a ride as the 21-year-old left for her 7 a.m. shift at Starbucks, authorities said. He made her to drive to a remote area, where he forced her to perform a sex act on him and then shot and killed her, according to detectives.Heichel was reported missing a few hours later. Detectives Fred Huffman and Scott Hogan, who were on the case since day one, said they immediately had questions about the woman's disappearance."This was not a person that had that pattern of behavior," said Hogan.Hogan and Huffman interviewed Heichel's friends, co-workers, family and husband, Clint. The pieces of Heichel's life started to come together, revealing a dependable, thoughtful and loving young woman who had no reason to run off.
Though Huffman said it was obvious Heichel was a special person, investigators couldn't focus on that fact."You are constantly trying to figure out where that person is, what's the next step. So for me, the emotional side sits there. You don't disregard it, but you put it aside until you do what you need to do," Huffman said.On the evening of Oct. 19, Hogan joined a team of investigators on Larch Mountain where search crews found Heichel's body.As a police officer, it meant closure in the case. But as someone who had become close with Heichel's family and friends, it meant grief."I knew immediately the pain that her family and friends were going to have to go through," Hogan said.In the past week, Hogan and Huffman have moved on to other cases and resumed their normal workload. But they said no one in the Gresham Police Department or the Multnomah County Major Crimes Team will ever forget Heichel's case."I was ... very proud of my co-workers because even though it was bad news, people would know what happened," Hogan said.
Holt, the suspect in Heichel's case, is being held in jail without bail. He is facing six counts of aggravated murder, one count of kidnapping, one count of sodomy and two counts of robbery.Copyright 2012 KPTV (Meredith Corporation.) All rights reserved.

This is the second in a multi-part series of posts (read first post here) looking at if large enterprise and legacy storage systems are dead, along with what todays EMC VMAX 10K updates mean.
Thus on January 14 2013 it is time for a new EMC Virtual Matrix (VMAX) model 10,000 (10K) storage system. EMC has been promoting their January 14 live virtual event for a while now. January significance is that is when (along with May or June) is when many new systems, solutions or upgrades are made on a staggered basis.
Historically speaking, January and February, along with May and June is when you have seen many of the larger announcements from EMC being made. Case in point, back in February of 2012 VFCache was released, then May (2012) in Las Vegas at EMCworld there were 42 announcements made and others later in the year.
Click here to see images of the car stuffing or click here to watch a video.
Let's not forget back in February of 2012 VFCache was released, and go back to January 2011 there was the record-setting event in New York City complete with 26 people being compressed, deduped, singled instanced, optimized, stacked and tiered into a mini cooper (Coop) automobile (read and view more here).
Now back to the VMAX 10K enhancements
As an example of a company, product family and specific storage system model, still being alive is the VMAX 10K. Although this announcement by EMC is VMAX 10K centric, there is also a new version of the Enginuity software (firmware, storage operating system, valueware) that runs across all VMAX based systems including VMAX 20K and VMAX 40K. Read here, here and here and here to learn more about VMAX and Enginuity systems in general.
Some main themes of this announcement include Tier 1 reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) storage systems functionality at tier 2 pricing for traditional, virtual and cloud data centers.
Some other themes of this announcement by EMC:
- Flexible, scalable and resilient with performance to meet dynamic needs
- Support private, public and hybrid cloud along with federated storage models
- Simplified decision-making, acquisition, installation and ongoing management
- Enable traditional, virtual and cloud workloads
- Complement its siblings VMAX 40K, 20K and SP (Service Provider) models
Note that the VMAX SP is a model configured and optimized for easy self-service and private cloud, storage as a service (SaaS), IT as a Service (ITaaS) and public cloud service providers needing multi-tenant capabilities with service catalogs and associated tools.
So what is new with the VMAX 10K?
It is twice as fast (per EMC performance results) as earlier VMAX 10K by leveraging faster 2.8GHz Intel westmere vs. earlier 2.5GHz westmere processors. In addition to faster cores, there are more, from 4 to 6 on directors, from 8 to 12 on VMAX 10K engines. The PCIe (Gen 2) IO busses remain unchanged as does the RapidIO interconnect. RapidIO used for connecting nodes and engines, while PCIe is used for adapter and device connectivity. Memory stays the same at up to 128GB of global DRAM cache, along with dual virtual matrix interfaces (how the nodes are connected). Note that there is no increase in the amount of DRAM based cache memory in this new VMAX 10K model.
This should prompt the question of for traditional cache centric or dependent for performance storage systems such as VMAX, how much are they now CPU and their associated L1 / L2 cache dependent or effective? Also how much has the Enginuity code under the covers been enhanced to leverage the multiple cores and threads thus shifting from being cache memory dependent processor hungry.
Also new with the updated VMAX 10K include:
- Support for dense 2.5 inch drives, along with mixed 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch form factor devices with a maximum of 1,560 HDDs. This means support for 2.5 inch 1TB 7,200 RPM SAS HDDs, along with fast SAS HDDs, SLC/MLC and eMLC solid state devices (SSD) also known as electronic flash devices (EFD). Note that with higher density storage configurations, good disk enclosures become more important to counter or prevent the effects of drive vibration, something that leading vendors are paying attention to and so should customers.
- EMC is also with the VMAX 10K adding support for certain 3rd party racks or cabinets to be used for mounting the product. This means being able to mount the VMAX main system and DAE components into selected cabinets or racks to meet specific customer, colo or other environment needs for increased flexibility.
- For security, VMAX 10K also supports Data at Rest Encryption or (D@RE) which is implemented within the VMAX platform. All data encrypted on every drive, every drive type (drive independent) within the VMAX platform to avoid performance impacts. AES 256 fixed block encryption with FIPS 140-2 validation (#1610) using embedded or external key management including RSA Key Manager. Note that since the storage system based encryption is done within the VMAX platform or controller, not only is the encrypt / decrypt off-loaded from servers, it also means that any device from SSD to HDD to third-party storage arrays can be encrypted. This is in contrast to drive based approaches such as self encrypting devices (SED) or other full drive encryption approaches. With embedded key management, encryption keys kept and managed within the VMAX system while external mode leverages RSA key management as part of a broader security solution approach.
- In terms of addressing ease of decision-making and acquisition, EMC has bundled core Enginuity software suite (virtual provisioning, FTS and FLM, DCP (dynamic cache partitioning), host I/O limits, Optimizer/virtual LUN and integrated RecoverPoint splitter). In addition are bundles for optimization (FAST VP, EMC Unisphere for VMAX with heat map and dashboards), availability (TimeFinder for VMAX 10K) and migration (Symmetrix migration suite, Open Replicator, Open Migrator, SRDF/DM, Federated Live Migration). Additional optional software include RecoverPoint CDP, CRR and CLR, Replication Manager, PowerPath, SRDF/S, SRDF/A and SRDF/DM, Storage Configuration Advisor, Open Replicator with Dynamic Mobility and ControlCenter/ProSphere package.
Who needs a VMAX 10K or where can it be used?
As the entry-level model of the VMAX family, certain organizations who are growing and looking for an alternative to traditional mid-range storage systems should be a primary opportunity. Assuming the VMAX 10K can sell at tier-2 prices with a focus of tier-1 reliability, feature functionality, and simplification while allowing their channel partners to make some money, then EMC can have success with this product. The challenge however will be helping their direct and channel partner sales organizations to avoid competing with their own products (e.g. high-end VNX) vs. those of others.
Consolidation of servers with virtualization, along with storage system consolidation to remove complexity in management and costs should be another opportunity with the ability to virtualize third-party storage. I would expect EMC and their channel partners to place the VMAX 10K with its storage virtualization of third-party storage as an alternative to HDS VSP (aka USP/USPV) and the HP XP P9000 (Hitachi based) products, or for block storage needs the NetApp V-Series among others. There could be some scenarios where the VMAX 10K could be positioned as an alternative to the IBM V7000 (SVC based) for virtualizing third-party storage, or for larger environments, some of the software based appliances where there is a scaling with stability (performance, availability, capacity, ease of management, feature functionality) concerns.
Another area where the VMAX 10K could see action which will fly in the face of some industry thinking is for deployment in new and growing managed service providers (MSP), public cloud, and community clouds (private consortiums) looking for an alternative to open source based, or traditional mid-range solutions. Otoh, I cant wait to hear somebody think outside of both the old and new boxes about how a VMAX 10K could be used beyond traditional applications or functionality. For example filling it up with a few SSDs, and then balance with 1TB 2.5 inch SAS HDD and 3.5 inch 3TB (or larger when available) HDDs as an active archive target leveraging the built-in data compression.
How about if EMC were to support cloud optimized HDDs such as the Seagate Constellation Cloud Storage (CS) HDDs that were announced late in 2012 as well as the newer enterprise class HDDs for opening up new markets? Also keep in mind that some of the new 2.5 inch SAS 10,000 (10K) HDDs have the same performance capabilities as traditional 3.5 inch 15,000 (15K) RPM drives in a smaller footprint to help drive and support increased density of performance and capacity with improved energy effectiveness.
How about attaching a VMAX 10K with the right type of cost-effective (aligned to a given scenario) SSD or HDDs or third-party storage to a cluster or grid of servers that are running OpenStack including Swift, CloudStack, Basho Riak CS, Celversafe, Scality, Caringo, Ceph or even EMCs own ATMOS (that supports external storage) for cloud storage or object based storage solutions? Granted that would be thinking outside of the current or new box thinking to move away from RAID based systems in favor or low-cost JBOD storage in servers, however what the heck, let's think in pragmatic ways.
Will EMC be able to open new markets and opportunities by making the VMAX and its Enginuity software platform and functionality more accessible and affordable leveraging the VMAX 10K as well as the VMAX SP? Time will tell, after all, I recall back in the mid to late 90s, and then again several times during the 2000s similar questions or conversations not to mention the demise of the large traditional storage systems.
Continue reading about what else EMC announced on January 14 2013 in addition to VMAX 10K updates here in the next post in this series. Also check out Chucks EMC blog to see what he has to say.
Ok, nuff said for now.
Disclosure: EMC is not a StorageIO client; however, they have been in the past directly and via acquisitions that they have done. I am however a customer of EMC via my Iomega IX4 NAS (I never did get the IX2 that I supposedly won at EMCworld ;) ) that I bought on Amazon.com and indirectly via VMware products that I have, oh, and they did sent me a copy of the new book Human Face of Big Data (read more here).

Promoting and Marketing Events / Guidelines for Banners, Posters, and Printed Announcements / Promotional T-shirts and Merchandise
The most effective approach to publicizing a program is to use a variety of complementary methods. Each group should carefully evaluate current methods, as well as new, creative approaches to obtain the highest response. The following guidelines can assist you in developing a comprehensive marketing strategy.
- When publicizing an event, think about who your target audience is and what you want to tell them. When should you begin publicity? Teasers are effective when you start publicizing early. Publicity should start as early as possible and recur frequently. Publicity should increase a few days before your event.
- Posters and flyers are great ways to promote your event and the Office of Student Activities provides you with free poster making materials in Sarratt's Poster Room. Please refer on page 14 to the Posting Guidelines and Policies to find out ideal advertising locations and their accompanying policies. Contact the Sarratt Information Desk (322-2425) for access to the Poster Room and any additional information.

The University Calendar is free and open to any student organization to submit event information. Call 343-6887, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more details or for help submitting.
- Submit event and regular meeting dates to the Mortar Board Calendar in April. Call 343-3200.
- Call the News Service at 322-2706; they frequently will publicize newsworthy events to local media.
- Use the Vanderbilt Hustler. Ads are also available in all sizes. Call the Hustler at 322-7347 for rate information. Deadlines are one issue in advance, i.e., Tuesday for the Friday edition, and Friday for the Tuesday edition. They expect you to provide an internal requisition form ("1180") when you place an order. The Hustler can create ads for you, but also accepts camera-ready art on disk, which helps to assure accuracy.
- InnerVU submissions must be sent plain-text by email. Whenever possible, organizers should list events in the University Calendar prior to submission, and provide a link in the email/ad. Deadline for submission of ads is noon on the Monday prior to the date of publication. An ad will be published a maximum of two times. InnerVU submissions must include the title, time, date, and location of the event with a brief description. The submission must include the name of the sponsoring student organization or department as well as contact name and e-mail address, web address or phone number. Inner VU reserves the right to not publish ads that do not follow these guidelines. For more information, please contact Clay Cline at 322-1776 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Distribution of Printed Announcements by Campus Mail
Registered student organizations may use the campus mail service without paying postage. Items must have four straight sides and be no smaller than a post card and no larger than a 9″ x 12″ envelope.
Unaddressed notices, leaflets, pamphlets, and heavy packages will not be distributed through campus mailboxes.
Authorization for the limited distribution of unaddressed mail may be granted for the activities of governmental and other organizations that have a broad public purpose, provided the exception is not simply for the purpose of advertising an event or party. Groups seeking such authorization should apply five days in advance to the supervisor of the Station B Post Office. Mailings of more than 25 pieces must be arranged by box number in numerical order. All campus mailings of 250 pieces or more should be in Station B one week before the expected delivery date to ensure timely receipt.
Carmichael Towers Tunnel Publicity Policy
The tunnel that connects Carmichael Towers East and West running underneath 24th Avenue South is a popular way for student groups to advertise their organizations, programs, activities and events by painting areas with publicity. In an effort to maintain the tunnel as a walkway and provide as many organizations as possible the ability to advertise in the tunnel, the Office of Housing and Residential Education through the Assistant Director of Carmichael Towers West must approve all advertisements.
Generally students or groups of students who wish to advertise in the tunnel must contact the Assistant Director of Carmichael Towers West no later than three business days before they wish to advertise. Since there are numerous groups who wish to use this form of advertisement it is suggested that groups reserve space early. However, reservations will be taken no more than two months in advance.
Student groups may obtain applications at the Towers West Front Desk or by contacting the Office of Housing and Residential Education at 322-2591 (see Forms for sample application).
Posting in Campus Facilities
The following is a checklist of University regulations with reference to the posting of notices on University bulletin boards and similar facilities. All such policies are set forth and explained in the Student Handbook. In the following list, the word "poster" is used to denote any type of notice, including banners and flyers.
1. Posters must provide information regarding student activities. Give information of an academic nature, or make announcements pertinent to the business of the University.
2. Posters must carry the name and telephone number of the responsible campus organization, department, or person.
3. Students who wish to act as the on-campus agent of any commercial enterprise must receive prior authorization for such activity from the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Housing and Residential Education.
4. Commercial advertising matter unrelated to the University is prohibited unless specially authorized.
5. Members of the University community who wish to advertise special services to students (such as typesetting or sale of books) may post small notices on University bulletin boards without authorization.
6. The use of tape and nails on the Vanderbilt University campus to attach posters to anything is prohibited. Staples may only be used on bulletin boards. Thumbtacks may be used to attach posters to bulletin boards and kiosks. Posters may not be affixed to windows or doors. Posters must be tied to tree trunks with string; staples, nails, and thumbtacks are forbidden. Stakes bearing signs may not be driven into the ground.
7. Chartered student organizations and University departments and offices may post notices on bulletin boards in University residence halls, without specific authorization. However, students who represent private enterprises must have specific authorization for such postings.
9. Posters, and the string used to attach them, must be removed within three days after the event advertised.
10. Residence Hall Lobbies: Special displays may be allowed in residence hall lobbies with the authorization of the appropriate Assistant Director, and at her or his discretion with regard to appropriateness. Such displays must be removed immediately after the event.
Failures to abide by any of these policies will result in all posters being removed from the campus and the offending persons charged for the removal. Loss of the use of Univer-sity facilities and the privilege of posting notices will also result. Individuals as well as organizations are subject to disciplinary action.
Residence Hall Campaigning
Residence hall campaigning is permitted for Vanderbilt Student Government, Honor Council, and Outstanding Senior elections, only (i.e., those with campus-wide or specific residential-unit interest). Room-to-room solicitation or campaigning is specifically prohibited. As a practical matter, campus-wide elections generate more posters than can be accommodated on residential bulletin boards. Students running for office may post two flyers per bulletin board in residences, but may not cover or remove flyers already in place. Posters larger than 11″ x 17″ in size are prohibited. The internal and external use of residential windows, doors, walls, and bathroom stalls is prohibited. Candidates are responsible for removing flyers within 48 hours of the conclusion of an election.
In the lobbies of certain residences, it is appropriate to hang banners of campus-wide interest. In these lobbies, candidates running for campus-wide offices may hang banners limited to three (3) feet in width and five (5) feet in length. Candidates wishing to hang banners in residential lobbies must contact the appropriate Area Coordinator for authorization and guidance. Candidates may reach appropriate Area Coordinator by calling the Office of Housing and Residential Education at 615-32(2-2591).

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
my 4th grade daughter had an ongoing bullying problem at this school throughout her entire year that was never properly handled by the staff. i had to pull her off of the bus in the beginning of the year because of it. as the year progressed she turned to her teacher for help and was told "what do you want me to do about it?" she was asked by the assistant principal "what punishment do you want this boy to get?" shouldn't the adults be in charge of that decision? she finally got a meeting with her bully at the very end of the year with the principal. the bully never was punished. we had a year full of fear and tears at YIS. an almost total lack of adult intervention. in spite of this i do feel my daughter learned a lot academically. YIS staff needs some serious training on bullying issues. we are homeschooling from now on. your child should be able to feel safe at their school where they spend a majority of their time. this just didn't happen for my daughter as YIS.
this school is wonderful i make more friends every week by week. this school should be rated in the top 10 top of the list
I have had one child go through the school and currently have a 5th and 6th grader there. Both my husband I are teachers and feel that our children have gotten an excellent education at YIS! The teachers, the support staff and the administration are all very attentive and focused on the children's needs. We have been extremely happy with the school!!
My daughter attended the last two years and is now in YMS this is my son's first year. I was happy with my daughters transition into this new school distict my only problem was when her final grades came and she got a C+ and she has been on the honor roll prior. I discussed the transition with her teacher and she assured me that my child was doing well. A C+ has never be an acceptable grade. Now my son is off to a great start his test scores are excellent and I couldn't be prouder. But when I look at the testing for 5th and 6th grades I am very concerned. Hoping that the teachers are putting together a better plan.
Both of my children attended YIS for 2 years and I was very happy with the school! The teachers were very supportive and were always available as was the Principal - Parental involvement was high and parents are encouraged to become involved. Also, the office staff was always friendly and helpful, we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Schnucks Associates Head Back to the Classroom to Benefit Junior Achievement
ST. LOUIS - On Tuesday, April 12, 73 associates from 34 area Schnucks stores will leave their jobs as checkers, bakers, florists, store managers and co-managers and enter classrooms as volunteers in Junior Achievement's (JA's) new FastTrack, one-day delivery education program.
Schnucks workers will be in contact with more than 700 students in four area schools: Mason Elementary in St. Louis, House Springs Intermediate in Northwest R-1 and Arch Diocese schools St. John's in Imperial and St. Norbert's in Florissant. Volunteers will be arriving about 8:15 and teaching until about 2:30 at each school give or take 30 minutes.
Melanie Palmer, vice-president of education for JA, says, "In addition to the supplemental education we offer through JA's traditional five to 15-week courses, we have a growing core of FastTrack volunteers who are participating for the first time in this one-day delivery program."
She added, "This program is an accelerated version of our K-8 programs, but the commitment is just five hours on one day rather than spread out over several weeks. It's a more flexible schedule that has enabled more volunteers from the business world to participate."
Schnucks, a company whose leaders have been long-time supporters of JA, is one of approximately eight businesses that are supplying volunteers to blitz designated schools in several geographical regions throughout metropolitan St Louis.
Grandview Schnucks Store Manager Scott Russo is coordinating the company's effort. Russo has been a Schnucks associate for 28 years and a store manager for 10. Fifteen years ago he became active in JA and he has seen the program evolve as the needs of children have changed. Russo said, "Our program today is designed to fill any gaps in information that the schools don't necessarily offer such as interviewing for jobs and starting your own business."
"These are skills that the late Don Schnuck (company co-founder) really felt helped to develop an entrepreneurial spirit within our young people," Russo explained. "Don thought this type of early teaching was key to their success. If we had enough volunteers to ensure that children could have access to JA from kindergarten through 12th grade, I believe they would be more prepared to face the real world upon graduation."
"It prepares children for real life by giving them basic tools that they might not get in core courses like social studies, science and math. We help give them real world tools like how to manage a checkbook, understand a blue print and read a newspaper," said Russo.
Russo's own children (13, 15 and 16) have benefited from JA. His eldest child, Adam, a bagger at the Schackelford Schnucks, said, "I really enjoyed the JA experience, but it wasn't until we made business cards that I really got to thinking about possible job opportunities for the future."
Palmer says as the program is rolled out to more schools, additional volunteers will be needed for both the traditional and the one-day programs. "JA will continue to offer the traditional five-week program for grade school students and a new 6-week program for middle schoolers, but thanks to FastTrack, there is now a way to involve more volunteers on a short-term basis."
According to Russo, the JA volunteers don't require any special skill set because the programs are simple to teach. "The only talent you really need is the ability to communicate with children. Once you volunteer, JA will teach you the rest," he said.
Other Junior Achievement FastTrack sponsors include MasterCard, J. C. Penney, PricewaterhouseCoopers, United Parcel Services, General Electric, Reuters and others.
Founded in St. Louis in 1939, Schnuck Markets, Inc. currently operates 102 stores (including five Logli stores) and 97 pharmacies in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Mississippi. The family-owned company ranks 94th in the Forbes magazine listing of the nation's "Largest Private Companies."

Black Friday Shoppers Flocked to iPad, Ignored Surface Tablet [REPORT]
Shoppers purchased 11 iPads per hour from one Apple store and zero Surface tablets from the Microsoft store across from it.
Shoppers purchased 11 iPads per hour from one Apple store and zero Surface tablets from the Microsoft store across from it.
Microsoft's retail stores have had more than 15 million customers visit to date, the company revealed in a blog post this week.
Microsoft launched both Windows 8 and its own Surface tablet in the U.S. early Friday morning at 12:01 a.m. ET with the opening of the Microsoft Store in New York City's Times Square. People waited for hours to be one of the first to experience the new tech, including Glenn Acosta, who had the No. 1 spot in line. "It's definitely worth every penny I spent on it," said Acosta, shortly after his purchase (the Surface starts at $499).
Microsoft has announced plans to open 30 "pop-up" holiday stores across the U.S. and two in Canada, an effort intended to drum up interest in Windows 8 and its Surface tablet ahead of the holiday shopping season. The Redmond, Wash. company operates 23 permanent stores nationwide with another eight opening soon. These locations are mostly on the east and west coasts: The holiday locations are placed in areas without permanent retail stores, with several in the Midwest.
Today is the grand opening of the Microsoft Store in Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego, California. The San Diego store marks Microsoft's fourth foray into the retail space and opens later this morning at 10 a.m. PST. The Microsoft Store is just yards away from the Apple Store, which means it's competing for attention with the massively long line of people hoping to get their hands on the new iPhone 4.

It doesn't matter how old I am…I'll ALWAYS be up at 6am on my birthday. What the hell is that?! It's like I can't get myself to sleep in, I'm too excited. For nothing. Not like I'm waking up to a pile of presents, like when I was a kid. Not doing anything too exciting and/or time sensitive.
Guess that means I need to go for a walk and find some breakfast. Being old is making me hungry.

There are very few things scarier than being told you have cancer. You may feel like you're in shock. You may not even want to believe what the doctor has told you. And you probably have a lot of questions.
First of all, it's okay to be worried. And it's okay to feel afraid. But you shouldn't let those feelings stop you from finding out as much as you can about your cancer and about the options you have. The more you know, the less helpless and afraid you will feel. And the more you know, the better you will be able to work with your health care team to make the best choices for your treatment.
The good news is that most nonmelanoma skin cancers are easily treated. It's highly unlikely that they'll spread to other parts of the body. Your doctor will talk with you about the best way of treating your skin cancer now and how to prevent more skin cancer from developing in the future.
