Artisan: Shuchil Soaps
The forests of El Salvador thrive with a lush diversity of native plants that locals have harvested for healing power since the days of the ancient Mayans. In San Salvador, Matilde Carillo de Palomo uses traditional Mayan recipes to create herbal soaps that soothe the body and quiet the mind. Matilde learned her craft from her father, an herbalist who spent decades studying the properties of local flora. Their company, Shuchil Soaps, creates spa-quality products from plants grown on the de Paloma farm, including hibiscus, lemon grass, vanilla, and coconut.
The company prides itself on hiring women from rural areas and paying them fair wages for the first time in their lives. One employee, Bertha Marina Miranda, asked Matilde for work several years ago because her husband's income wasn't enough to put their children through school. Matilde hired Bertha and taught her how to work with herbs and dry hibiscus and lemon grass. Today, Bertha is a master of her craft and all of her children are in school planning professional careers. Her eldest is in college studying to be a chemist.
Another employee, Reina Isabel Guerra, has worked on the Shuchil farm since the 1980s, when most local residents fled due to a devastating civil war. The de Paloma family was committed to keeping their farm despite the constant threat of guerrilla attack, and Reina was one of a handful of loyal employees who stayed on. When the war ended, Matilde's father expressed his gratitude by giving Reina and a handful of other employees each a piece of land to build on. Over twenty years later, Reina and her husband are still with the company and live in a thriving community that includes a school, health clinic, and soccer field.
Shuchil Soap's products have been given a Certified Organic designation in the United States, Germany, and Asia, and a recent grant from the Humane Society of the United States will allow a new line of organic pet shampoos to garner a USDA Certified Humane stamp.
Matilde's next project: training retired women in the craft of soapmaking to ensure their well-being in old age. "The elderly suffer from abandonment in El Salvador, and we want to help them live a life with dignity," she says. "We will also continue to teach pre-Columbian recipes used by our Indians and passed down from generation to generation."

How do we better organize our TED conversations?
Our conversations are powerful and meaningful. How do we structure this forum to better connect and engage us in a positive way?
Fritzie -
Mar 11 2013: Let me ask, as I have wondered about this. Some people are obviously very much affected by whether they believe a thread has been posted in the right category- Ideas, Questions, or Debates. Others do not particularly notice the category in which the thread is placed, responding simply to the topic/question put forward and the narrative elaboration of what the questioner is looking for.
- +1
Either John or Daryl, how does the way a person places his thread in a category (that you think is the wrong category for it) affect your experience?
Mar 11 2013: Does this relate to cogency?
Mar 11 2013: I noticed that Daryl went specifically to this issue in response to your question about organization.Mar 11 2013: i think it is okay, just we need another category: the venus project
Mar 11 2013: Krisztian I shared that thought as well, have you read the TED mission?Mar 11 2013: How did the Venus Project get into this?
Mar 11 2013: just kidding. i could avoid them more easilyMar 11 2013: Hey Fritzie, I as most here am able to respond as we see fit in the current context of how topics are placed but I do have to consider that often alot of banter is devoted to how a conversation is presented and have to agree with John's posting here that something like a loose policy to help people choose the appropriate format for their contribution might encourage some clarity in presenting their thoughts and responses. For instance, I due take issue with how Debates are so often presented as a question or commentary without a supporting argument. Ofcourse this is just my opinion being shared in the spirit and intent of helping find a solution should we deem one is needed.
Mar 12 2013: So your focus is not categorization per se but rather wanting positions to be supported by arguments and evidence.
Mar 12 2013: My focus is in specific response to John's request for feedback concerning how to better engage people in a positive way when posting to the general formats for "Conversations" without imposing a rigid format. What do you think about my suggestion for a roll-over on the format buttons of the main Conversations webpage giving a brief suggestion for presentation?Mar 12 2013: Suggestions for presentation sound fine to me. I don't know how much difference they would make, though, as people already choose, I think, the style of presentation of their ideas that they prefer.Mar 12 2013: probably this will seem a really minor point...
when I first joined in these conversations, recently, I was surprised to find the number of recommendations for each person limited to quite a small number per week.
I like to read comments using the 'Sort by' of Top Rated.
I think perhaps restricting the recommendations distorts the natural order of the Top Rated, and I think this is a pity, because I have often noticed that the most articulate, the most balanced or the most informative comments do in fact often rise to the top, in other forums. This isn't always the case - sometimes quite rude and strident opinions become top, but even that is interesting as a reflection of the topic.
Many people don't have the time to trawl through many comments, some of which are indifferent. So by fine tuning the Top Rated, I think it would improve the system.Mar 12 2013: How can we have a parallel forum for people that may be less experienced in public discussion? Maybe both forums are attached to the same conversations somehow?Mar 11 2013: Searching and organizing by author might be neat.
Mar 12 2013: Hi Robert, TED does have a feature similar to what you are describing. Would you elaborate on this idea?Mar 11 2013: Good question, the way "conversations" are haphazardly and often incorrectly attributed to the prescribed formats is a sad commentary on the TED community. Debates are not Questions, Questions are not Ideas ect. I would expect the
TED community to be more aware of the differences and more thoughtful about which format is appropriate for their contribution…that said…
Debate - Open with a statement, a short paragraph that encompasses your topic followed by an argument for your position relevant to the topic, all respondent commenters/debaters then state their position and offer their argument, respond to specific commentary from the "reply" button and so on…Debates are for arguing a particular position on a given topic
Question - an inquiry, submitted for the express purpose of enlisting an opinion or informed response…Questions are a way to elicit a response or gather information on a specific topic
Idea - State your Idea, support it with whatever information is relevant and engage or encourage feedback…the sponsor should reply to each commenter individually with the "reply" button
Not rocket science and might help make the conversations more engaging...
Mar 11 2013: How can we implement a clear format policy and remain open?
Mar 11 2013: I think if the policy were presented in a manner that inspires clarity as a suggestion rather than "set in stone" demand. Could mean setting up a simple "roll over" for each format button on the webpage for TED Conversations that brings up a small "pulldown" window containing a suggested outline for that format in clear language. At least then it would suggest an appropriate outline and still leave it up the individual how to word their contribution in real time.Mar 12 2013: let people all have good education:)

When it comes to making change, we are most influenced by friends, family members, and people with whom we work and worship. Building community involves creating the spaces where ideas can spread, people can be inspired, and the seeds of action can be sown. This work lays the deep and enduring, person-to-person foundation for change.
There are as many ways to build community as there are individuals who are inspired to connect people and ideas. Here are some tools and ideas to get you started:
Host an event :: Gathering people together in face-to-face settings is enormously poweful.
Spread the word through social networks :: Online communities can be powerful places to share concerns and mobilize action.
Connect with the PAN community :: Find a PAN Partner in or near your town; find out who's involved and what they're working on. Bring a neighbor or friend with you to volunteer for a few hours. Bring your concerns, good ideas and energy along as well.

This program is definitely a sea-kayaking trip. Most days, we are able to start the trip from either Phuket or Krabi and get to the far south of Thailand.

We will also visit Chao Mai marine national park at Trang, the largest waterfowl reserve in Thailand at Phatthalung, and an old native tribe called Sakai at Satun.
You are on fresh or salt water for a typically stunning and unique SeaCanoe paddling experience. You might paddle through a mountain, explore coastal islands with caves, Hong and rock gardens, enjoy wildlife observations, swim in hot springs, and have a great time playing "Local" with your new Thai friends. But most of all, this adventure is a fun and interesting insight into the culture and nature of South Thailand with the folks who know and live it - your SeaCanoe staff.
Depending upon group size, you might travel in a 4x4 pick-up or traditional Thai "Songtaew" bus.

Android has an app for DNS(dragon naturally speaking) so it is taking off already. There is also an app for google search with voice on android. So slowly but surely it is taking up. My point is that - few years back in my early twenties i used to do some searches via typing keyword, i can comfortably do the same in future ( for ahm) at home for obvious reasons not using speech recognition. But the point is, i can't imagine future generation holding the same conservative thoughts like me. Unless i do some fundamental brainwashing, there is no way they're going to pick those conservative thoughts and feel awkward for the same. (Hmm, current teen generation liking lady gaga and Justin bieber says it all about our doomsday).They may do weird actions while using the paper displays or holograms in future or shout some swear words to program their tablets and mobiles to execute some of their tasks.
Hmmm... You got me thinking... Would it be better if your computer could read lips? No noise.
I've actually got 4 mics on my desk here at home... So, SR/STT would really make my life somewhat easier for some things.
But with 2 webcams as well, reading lips would be, well, nah. Just easier for me to speak. But I can see a use for it. Like of like "hands free gestures".

Despite the varying conditions, Lewis Hamilton had a productive day in Barcelona on Thursday where he covered 113 laps.
The drivers arrived at the Circuit de Catalunya where a wet track awaited them. However, as the day wore on the conditions improved with the asphalt dry by the time the chequered flag fell.
Hamilton was the busiest driver on Thursday, covering 113 laps during which he set the second fastest time, a 1:24.348. And although that was 1.6s down on Mark Webber's P1 time, the Aussie was using soft tyres while Hamilton only ran the mediums.
"The track started out really wet this morning but thankfully the conditions dried out later on and we were able to complete some proper running," said the Mercedes driver.
"It felt good to work through the race simulation this afternoon; both to get myself back in practice and to put valuable miles on the car.
"All the guys have done a fantastic job both here and at the factory. I'm really happy that we're making progress together and very much enjoying working with everyone.
"The last couple of days of pre-season testing are always really exciting when everyone starts to add their upgrades so I'm looking forward to the weekend."

In FRESH FROZEN, North's third novel (October 2008), a grisly southern murder, a movie star, and a frozen heist question the fabric of human ethics as a young policeman and his tormented wife discover that human reproductive tissue can become a fatal commo
Darden North, MD, is a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist who grew up in the Mississippi Delta and now lives in Jackson, Mississippi, where he practices medicine. He and his wife Sally have two young adult children, as well as two dogs and a grand dog. A graduate of Ole Miss and the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, he is a certified DaVinci robotic surgeon and a DaVinci proctor. North's first novel House Call (hardcover 2005, paperback 2007, ebook 2010) was awarded Finalist in Mystery/Suspense by the 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. His second novel Points of Origin (hardcover 2006, ebook 2010) was recognized in Southern Fiction by the 2007 Independent Publishers Book (IPPY) Awards. His third novel, Fresh Frozen (hardcover 2008, ebook 2010) is in film development by Frank Vitolo and Scott Alvaraz. The screenplay adaptation of Fresh Frozen is by Amy Taylor. The novel received Best Cover Design in the 2009 National Indie Excellence Awards and Finalist in Regional Fiction.
North has studied at the International Thriller Writers Conference and at the SEAK Advanced Writing Seminar in Chicago as well as at the 2012 SEAK Fiction Writing Conference in Hyannis where he received a writing award.

His author website is www.dardennorth.com .
Points of Origin
POINTS OF ORIGIN (100,000 words/hardcover) In Points of Origin, the death of 19-year-old patient Flowers Ridley costs Dr. Dan Foxworth his reputation, his fortune, his plastic surgery dynasty, and ultimately his own life. Still reeling from the tragedy and struggling to overcome his rejection from medical school, Dr. Foxworth's son, Sher, breaks with family tradition and becomes a fireman. His new occupation pits him against a former schoolmate, now an arsonist hired to torch the mansion of Cordell Pixler, the same medical malpractice attorney who ruined Sher's father. The shrinking Foxworth family's resentment of Pixler is matched only by that of the attorney's spurned mistress, humiliated personal architect, and the remaining Ridleys, who have squandered their medical malpractice jury award. When the attorney's house explodes in flames, the origin of the fire does not rest with the arsonist alone. A fierce retribution is unleashed from many sources as Sher Foxworth finally avenges his family.

FRESH FROZEN (Hardcover, eBook) - SYNOPSIS:
In a decaying brick building complex just north of Jackson, Mississippi, human reproductive tissue becomes an unexpected commodity. As the rest of the world is consumed with terrorists, biological warfare, and the price of world oil, a state-of-the-art medical facility and a circle of unlikely associates become consumed with the most basic of human functions --- and all for profit. Outcasts of a renewed baby boom that separates the United States from other wealthy nations, a young policeman and his tormented wife fail miserably to produce a family. Their futile attempts to become parents have not only pushed Wesley and Carey Sarbeck to the brink of bankruptcy but nearly cost Carey her life. However, there is one last hope for them: a catalogue of human embryo donors peddled by a woman whose standards are easily dismissed for the right price. This seemingly last chance for the Sarbecks to satisfy their place in middle America tosses them in the middle of a local gruesome murder, the world of Hollywood celebrities, and a heist of human embryos and eggs. Wesley Sarbeck learns there is no competition against those who can pay.

The insight was simply that trying to keep things in my head was wasting a huge amount of my mental energies. Of course this is something I already knew but i didn't realize how much of a benefit it would be to have a strict system of offloading all ideas and tasks to paper immediately.
I think this approach may be especially useful for people who feel like they are constantly getting ideas for new projects, and need to find a way to satisfy these urges while not getting distracted.
So my system is very simple:
- Every time I have an idea for a new project or a feature to implement, I write it down on a 3x5 index card and file it in one of several card boxes i have on my desk. The cards are within arms reach at all times so I'm constantly reaching over and jotting down an idea.
- Once an idea is written down, I can "let go of it" from my mind -- this is absolutely key -- it means i don't waste time and brain cycles trying to remember all the ideas i had, etc.
- All todo tasks are also written one on each card and filed away into the card box in sections designated for each ongoing process. Having previously used todo lists written on 8.5x11" notebook paper i can say that moving to a system of writing each item on a card is *vastly* superior. It's much easier to lay out tasks and look at them, much cleaner to maintain, just a win-win on all levels.
- Periodically i go through all the cards and throw out the ones i don't care about, and remind myself of outstanding issues.

Having trouble justifying a decision,
Stop procrastinating and start using Evaluweight !
This started out as a little fun and bit of effort to scam mouser of one of the legendary Cody Mugs.
In the end it is a interesting insight into how we come to a conclusion.
Each decision you make, is a 100 percent commitment. Therefore, that decision can be broken down into categories,
and each category represents a part of that 100 percent commitment.
So "evaluweight" lays this all out in a nice and easy grid format.
Simply give each category/feature a percentage mark of how it would impact your total commitment.
Now add the product that you want to compare, and in each category, mark that product out of 10 on how it meets your expectation.
Evaluweight will produce a score at the bottom of each row.
The screenshots will enlighten a little more.
Some notes
- This is a very basic script designed to con mouser into giving me a Cody mug.
- This is a very basic script that could be improved
- This is a very basic script that provokes the mind
- It is a standalone script, no installer, portable. (AHK source provided)
- Saving is very basic, it saves to the same directory as the file.
- Data is saved in a small csv text file.
- Can be used in making or justifying any decision.
More on the thought process
After using this for a few projects I was surprised to find that Money is not the major influence in a purchasing decision. If the product does not do what I want, I really dont care how much it costs. So rarely was money more then 20% of the factor, mostly around 10 and sometimes less then 5.
Suggestions, Critics, Applause and Rock Throwing all accepted.

You've probably heard that Vitamin C is the best thing to treat a cold, but did you know that it can also be used to prevent and even reverse aging skin? Vitamin C works as an essential factor for the normal formation, maintenance and structural stability of collagen. In addition, it shows positive results as UVA/UVB protection and is extremely effective as an antioxidant, your natural defense against free radicals that age the skin. Sun Damage has met its match with Murad Active Radiance Serum, an ultra powerful serum that contains Vitamin C and E, Oat, powerful antioxidants, glycolic acid and peptides all which help boost your skin's natural defense against sun damage while encouraging repair of existing damage, reducing the visible signs of aging skin.
This light, fast absorbing serum has been clinically demonstrated to brighten and renew the skin in one week by improving natural radiance and clarity, smoothing skin, and restoring youthful texture and tone. It can be used every day after cleansing and can be worn under your daily moisturizer and sunblock. In only 15 minutes, skin firmness is increased by up to 64% and the skin's tone and texture become smooth, even and youthful.
I have been using this product for a few weeks now and it causes a slight tingling sensation when first applied (which feels kind of refreshing in the AM). Since using it, I have noticed my sun damaged spots have faded dramatically. I love this serum and have noticed an improvement in my overall skin tone. It feels firmer, smoother, looks brighter and appears to be more evenly toned overall. If you want to reverse the signs of sun damage and aging skin, this is a great Beautyfix selection to have in your arsenal!

For the tastiest tacos, be sure the swordfish is fresh, not frozen, and try to use freshly made corn tortillas.
Note: The Food and Drug Administration recommends that women who might become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers and children younger than age 5 should avoid eating swordfish because they may contain high levels of mercury and other toxins. Substitutes for swordfish include halibut, mahi-mahi, sea bass, cod, snapper or other firm-textured fish.
In a bowl, combine the olives, diced tomatoes, green onions, jalapeno (if using), 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, the lime zest, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, the salt and pepper. Toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Place the romaine and radishes in separate bowls, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cut the roasted bell pepper half into chunks. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted pepper, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of the cumin and the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice. Pulse to puree. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 300 F. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
Raise the oven temperature to 400 F. In a bowl, toss the swordfish cubes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon cumin. Arrange the fish in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 minutes.
To serve, place 2 tortillas on each individual plate. Divide the tomato-olive mixture evenly among the tortillas and top with equal portions of the fish. Add some lettuce and radishes to each and drizzle with lime-cilantro sauce. Serve immediately.

Ashland Railroad Station Museum
Ashland, NH 03217
Ph: 603-968-3902
The Ashland Railroad Society Museum was opened in 1999.
Operated by the Ashland Historical Society, the museum was originally a passenger station for the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad. It was originally built circa 1869. For decades, it was the gateway to the Ashland and Squam Lakes Region for travelers.
The property was donated to the Historical Society in 1980. The building was restored and renovated in 1997-98 for use as a museum. It is currently one of the best preserved late 19th century railroad stations in New Hampshire, housing a collection of railroad artifacts, photographs and documents.

Any of you have one of these?
-any reviews on that machine?
-what do you mostly weld with it?

trailblazer 325
Nice machine IF you buy a new one. Though I'd imagine that most of the older versions have been up dated, Had major problems in the summer heat. Changing out a fuel modulator fixed that issue.

miller 325 efi excel power
I bought one of these welders and I have had nothing but trouble with it. They replaced the fuel pump of what they thought the problem was NOT. I am very disgusted with this machine it does not weld the way it should I am always fighting with my arc and it never whats to just WELD. The good thing only about this welder is that at low amperage on tig mode this welder is very good .But that is all . I have five of my close friends who all bought one of these welders and all the same trouble and miller does not know or what to help. My one friend the excel power side started on FIRE . He took it in and the techs at Appleton promised him a new welder or something to keep him going at his job NOT. I was at a job yesterday with my welder I was burning 3/16 7018 and it would not burn it I struck an arc welded about four inchs and then black smoke out of the exhaust and just dyes out . There was six other welders around and about three apprentices around also witnessing this . I wonder how many welders miller is going to sell after that episode .thanks
You have to RESET the engine, not a big deal, then it runs real nice. Replace an engine part duhhhh reset the ecm on the engine.
What I do is reset the ECM, remove the foam element of the air filter and install a better air filter,
Been using Lubrifiner #LAF5802 WAY BETTER

The 325 an improvement?
Sometimes it just seems like Miller feels obligated to bring out a half-baked improvement. I guess this was supposed to be better than the Lincoln 305. Smaller, lighter, more power. What is next? Turbocharging a 2 cylinder kohler and claiming it's a lighter replacement for a 4 cylinder diesel?
trailblazer 325
Any good recommandation for a "good" engine drive welder,in that price range?
Will be using suitcase welder,steel ,aluminum,stainless and all whats weldable..lol!
I need a smooth arc,steAdy,reliable,powerfull without having to pay 30g's

Drop right side engine door
There will be a little 4 prong plug with a cap on it, you will want to jumper the black and the white wires with a paper clip
Turn the engine to run (no start) wait 10 seconds then off 2 times
Remove the paper clip
Start the engine and with your hand over ride the encoder for low idle
for 5 seconds.
You may just start it and put the machine to low idle for all intensive purposes, Miller wants you to drop the engine to 1500 rpm, over riding the encoder arm does this otherwise you really have to screw around lining the arms back up
Turn the engine off for 10 seconds.
Restart and off you go

Yep, BUT on yours put it in low idle right away for 5 seconds or so, shut it off wait for 10 seconds then restart it.

Business Issues -> Security & Risk
RSS Feed:
By: Bob Tarzey, Service Director, Quocirca
Published: 12th December 2013
Copyright Quocirca © 2013
On-demand applications are often talked about in terms of how independent software vendors (ISVs) should be adapting the way their software is provisioned to customers. However, these days the majority of on-demand applications are being provided by end user organisations to external users: consumers, users from customer or partner organisations and their own employees working remotely.
A recent Quocirca research report, "In demand: the culture of online services provision"[1] found that 58% of northern European organisations (from the UK, Ireland and Nordic region) were providing on-demand e-commerce service to external users. Not surprisingly, financial services topped the list with 84% of organisations doing so (showing how ubiquitous the provision of online banking etc. is now). This was followed by the technology, utilities and energy and the retail, distribution and transport sectors with 79% and 70% providing on-demand applications respectively.
However, there was plenty of such activity in other sectors. 61% of manufacturers were providing on-demand applications, most often to other businesses (think connected supply chain systems). For professional services it was 56%, again most often to other businesses. For educational organisations it was 37%. The public sector trailed with just 17%, surprising given the commitment of many governments to so called e-agendas.
At one level this is good news: more direct online interaction with consumers, partners and other businesses should speed up processes and sales cycles and extend geographic reach, those that do not do so will be less competitive. However, there are two big caveats.
So, how does a business ensure the performance and security of its online applications?
The performance of online applications
Two things need to be achieved here. First there needs to be a way of measuring performance and second there needs to be an appreciation of, and investment in, the technology that ensures and improves performance.
Testing the performance of applications before they go live can be problematic. Development and test environments are often isolated from the real world and, whilst user workloads can be simulated to test performance on centralised infrastructure, the real world network connections users rely on, which are increasingly mobile ones, are harder to test. The availability of public cloud platforms helps as run-time environments can be simulated, even if the ultimate deployment platform is an internal one. This saves an organisation having to over-invest in its own test infrastructure.
So, upfront testing is all well and good, but, ultimately, the user experience needs to be monitored in real time after deployment. This is not just because it is not possible to test all scenarios before deployment, but because the load on an application can change unexpectedly, due to rising user demand or other issues, especially over shared networks. User experience monitoring was the subject and title of a 2010 Quocirca report[2], much of which is still relevant today, however the biggest change since then has been the relentless rise in the number of mobile users.
Examples of tools for the end to end monitoring of the user experience, which covers both the application itself and the network impact on it, include CA Application Performance Management, Fluke Network's Visual Performance Manager, Compuware APM and ExtraHop Networks (which has just released specific support for Amazon Web Services/AWS).
It is all well and good being able to monitor and measure performance, but how do you respond when it is not what it should be? There are two issues here; first the ability to increase the number application instances and supporting infrastructure to support the overall workload and, second, the ability to balance that work load between these instances.
Increasing the resources available is far easier than it used to be with the virtualisation of infrastructure in-house and the availability of external infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) resources. For many, deployment is now wholly on shared IaaS platforms, where increased consumption of resources by a given application is simply extended across the cloud service provider's infrastructure. This can be achieved because with many customers sharing the same resources, each will have different demands at different times.
Global providers include AWS, Rackspace, Savvis, Dimension Data and Microsoft. There are many local IT service providers (ITSPs) with cloud platforms; for example in the UK, Attenda, Nui Solutions, Claranet and Pulsant. Some ITSPs partner with one or more global providers to make sure they too have access to a wide range of resources for their customers.
Even those organisations that choose to keep their main deployment on-premise can benefit from the use of 'cloud-bursting' (the movement of application workloads to the cloud to support surges in demand) to supplement their in-house resources. Indeed, in Quocirca's "In-demand[1]" report, those organisations providing on-demand applications to external users were considerably more likely to recognise the benefits of cloud-bursting than those that did not.
Being able to measure performance and having access to virtually unlimited resources to respond to it is one thing, but how do you balance the workload across them? The key technologies for achieving this are application delivery controllers (ADCs).
ADCs are basically next generation load balancers and are proving to be fundamental building blocks for advanced application and network platforms. They enable the flexible scaling of resources as demand rises and/or falls and offload work from the servers themselves. They also provide a number of other services that are essential to the effective operation of on-demand applications, these include:
The best known ADC supplier was Cisco; however, Cisco recently announced it would discontinue further development of its Application Control Engine (ACE) and recommends another leading vendor's product instead—Citrix's NetScaler. Other suppliers include F5, the largest dedicated ADC specialist, Riverbed, Barracuda, A10, Array Networks and Kemp.
So, you can measure performance, you have the resources the meet demand and the means to balance the workload across them as well as off-load some of the work with ADCs; but what about security?
The security of online applications
The first thing to say about the security of online applications is you do not have to do it all yourself. Use of public infrastructure puts the onus on the service provider to ensure security up to a certain level. Most have a shared security model; for example AWS states:
However, regardless of where the application is deployed, it will be open to attack. A 2012 Quocirca report[3] underlined the scale of the application security challenge. The average enterprise tracks around 500 mission-critical applications—in financial services organisations it is closer to 800. The security challenge increases as more and more of these applications are opened up to external users.
Beyond ensuring the training of developers, there are three main approaches to testing and ensuring application security
100% software security is never going to be guaranteed and many organisations use multiple approaches to maximise protection. However, interestingly, as one of the reasons for having demonstrable software security is to satisfy auditors, compliance bodies do not themselves mandate multiple approaches. For example the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) deems code scanning to be an acceptable alternative to a WAF.
The number of on-demand applications provided by businesses in all sectors is set to increase further. Users will become even less tolerant of poor performance as they rely more on on-demand services as part or all of the way they engage with suppliers. Hackers and activists will continue to become more sophisticated in the way they attack online applications. The supporting technology to support performance and provide security will continue to improve over time; the businesses that make best use of this technology will be the most effective providers of online services.

Pumpkin has got to be one of my favorite fall flavors, especially in healthy pumpkin muffins or whole wheat pumpkin bread. Add a generous dose of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and I'm in love. You can't find an easier pumpkin muffin recipe than this one, and it can be made super healthy, too.
Here are the perks of this little recipe gem:
- One bowl
- No fancy order of ingredients – just dump together and mix
- Super moist! Everyone LOVES the taste!
- Healthy Upgrades to basic recipe:
- Option for healthy fats; lower in fat than some recipes
- Recipe works great with whole wheat flour
- Pumpkin is a super food!
- ¾ cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1⅔ c. whole wheat or sprouted flour*
- ½ c. melted butter or coconut oil**
- ¼ c. cold water
- 1 c. pumpkin (about half a 15 oz can)
- ½ t. cinnamon
- ½ t. nutmeg
- ¼ t. baking powder
- 1 t. baking soda
- ¾ t. salt
- ½ t. cloves
- 1 Tbs. molasses (opt.)
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Put in greased loaf pan or muffin tin.
- Bake at 325 degrees.
- Bread (one loaf) = 65-80 minutes
- Muffins = 35-40 minutes
- Mini muffins = 25 minutes
*I often use part or all "white whole wheat flour" for muffins.
**Find out why I use butter and coconut oil.
UPDATE: I have a new and improved gluten-free pumpkin muffin recipe posted that is also egg-free and dairy-free!
Here's the recipe I started with, before I transitioned to "real food:"
The Original (not-so-healthy!!!) Recipe: Easy Pumpkin Muffins or Bread
2 eggs ½ t. nutmeg
¼ t. baking powder 1 2/3 c. flour
1 t. baking soda ½ c. oil
¾ t. salt ½ c. cold water
½ t. cloves 1 c. pumpkin (about half a 15 oz can)
Mix all ingredients together. Put in greased loaf pan or muffin tin. Bake at 325 degrees.
An awesome and sort of healthy muffin that tasted amazing – but I knew I could do better. I tweaked the recipe bit by bit until, in my humble opinion, it became totally healthy. Here are the steps I followed:
- Level one: decrease the sugar by 1/4 or even 1/2 cup (1 c. sugar total)
- Level two: use half whole wheat flour
- Level three: make the "oil" melted butter
- Level four: get rid of the refined sugar and white flour altogether
Once I had made the first few changes, moving to level four (the top recipe) wasn't that huge of a leap, but if I had tried to start there, I don't think it would have been possible. May your "baby steps" become possible with your "not-so-healthy" favorite recipes as well!
Eventually I even fiddled with another Healthy-EST upgrade: check out the SOAKED pumpkin muffins recipe.
Leftover Pumpkin?
Now the million dollar question: what do you do with the rest of the pumpkin in the can? Here's my simple system for leftover pumpkin including six ways to use it up. Update: I now have a list of twenty ways to use up pumpkin!
Other Pumpkin Recipes:
- Crispy (Soaked) Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
- Healthy Pumpkin Cookies (with various levels of nutrition, just like this recipe)
- Low-carb Pumpkin Pancakes (or any orange vegetable)

Check it out! Jamboree rides featured in the Press Democrat
After riding in Levi's Gran Fondo, I had not planned on riding another big ride for some time. That changed quickly last week when several family members and friends encouraged me to participate in the Shasta Wheelman Jamboree Century held this past Saturday in Palo Cedro, which is just east of Redding. Lucky for me that I had a few days to convince myself that it would not be as hard the King Ridge Gran Fondo. I obviously have lost most of my functioning brain cells, because I could not have been more wrong.
First of all, let's get the Redding myth that it is hotter than pits of Mordor out of the way. Yes, between Memorial Day to Labor Day it is crazy hot, as thermal heating of the interior valleys scorches the landscape while our coastal area is bathed with the cool onshore afternoon breeze. However, the other nine months of the year are even more desirable in my view than our Sonoma County weather. If you flip over to the back of the Empire News section in today's newspaper, you will see that Redding was cooler yesterday than all of our county's weather except for the immediate coast.
Redding is more known for mountain bike riding around the three area lakes than road biking. With the development of the Sacramento River trail to Shasta Dam and the establishment of community-wide bike lanes, that perception is changing. Rolling out of Palo Cedro with my riding partner for the day, Tim Jenne, we proceeded through soft rolling grasslands scattered with cows as the early morning sun rays poked over from Mount Lassen to our east.
Shasta Wheelman is a small dedicated club which presented itself in an intimate way to the 200 or so riders as we rolled through the various rest stops. Well supported, the final stop of the day was staffed by the couple who were married by Levi on Portuguese Beach during the 2013 Gran Fondo.
As nice as everything and everyone was, this ride was painfully hard. The suffering was partially offset by the landscape of riding under shaded forest canopies, lush meadows and flowing water through numerous creeks. I had forgotten what rushing water sounded like. Occasionally the views would open up with sweeping views of Mount Shasta and the Trinity Alps in the distance. Being able to view wide open spaces for 50-75 miles in the distance really broadens the senses.
Finally, in early afternoon, Tim and I found our way to the final climb of the day, Buzzard's Roost. I don't make this stuff up and it was aptly named! For some reason, the forest disappeared and we were exposed in the sun on the brutal 13% steeps. I did see buzzard's there and thankfully I did not become their afternoon meal. The rest of the climbs were just as insanely hard, but nicely tucked into the forest. When we finally emerged out to Oak Run Road for the long descent back to Palo Cedro, my saddle felt that it was made of porcupine quills. I will never forget to take chamois cream again!
After high fives at the finish, 103 miles and 9,000 feet of climbing, it was time for the pool! If you are a complete fool and find enjoyment in suffering on the bike the way I do, here is the link for the ride. http://www.strava.com/activities/206189453

This story was updated 3:22 p.m., Dec. 26.
Prince George�s police are still searching for a University of Maryland, College Park, student who suffers from depression and has been missing for the past week.
David Johnathan Scherr, 20, was last seen around 2 p.m. Dec. 19 near the UM campus in College Park, and county police said he is in need of his medication for depression.
Police said he may be driving a black 2013 Ford Escape with Maryland tags 3AX4875 and said he was last seen wearing a purple Ravens shirt and white plaid shorts. A phone number for Scherr�s family could not be located.
Scherr plays tuba in the Gamer Symphony Orchestra, a UM-based student-run ensemble that performs arrangements of video game music.
Orchestra director Kira Levitzky said Scherr is the current treasurer of the group. She said Scherr does not own his own tuba so the group is holding an online fundraiser to raise $4,000 to purchase the tuba he is currently renting.
She said the rented tuba may be in the back of his Ford Escape, in which case it could be noticeable for people spotting the vehicle.
The last time Levitzky saw him was during the Gamer Symphony Orchestra�s fall concert Dec. 1, she said.
�David is a really sweet guy. I didn�t know anything about him, as far as whether he had depression or not. He just seemed like a happy go lucky guy, very sweet,� she said. �He�s like family to us. We want to make sure he gets home safe and sound.�
Mark Limansky, a spokesman for the University of Maryland Department of Public Safety, said the department is aiding county police in the search and providing them with any background information on Scherr that may help find him.
�We�re doing whatever Prince George�s County is asking. Whatever they need, we�re helping,� he said.
Limansky said Scherr lives off campus, which is why county police are leading the case and not university police.
He said campus police did send a text alert that linked to the county police department�s blog post about Scherr�s disappearance with a photo of him.
Anyone with information on Scherr�s whereabouts is asked to call the county police department�s District 1 investigative section at 301-699-2601.

I have a download area that regularly ends up with "orphans" in folders/subdirs (subdirs with a single file) as their former companions are replaced elsewhere by newer or better versions. What I'd like to do is somehow automate going through a particular dir tree, and any files that are by themselves in their own folder are moved to their parent dir.
If that then creates another single-file dir, these would then be moved again to the next higher dir (either by running the program/script again or by the program/script checking for it). If anybody knows of something that already does this, please let me know.
