Marion County Weed Control DistrictHot Topics and Watch List 2015
This list is intended to keep attention on new or increasing threats that have not yet been targeted. This list will also include items of current interest as they relate to specific noxious weeds.
Worst offender: Tansy ragwort! (Senecio jacobea): This weed is overtaking pastures, tree farms, fields, and unmanaged or fallow properties. This weed has the ability to kill livestock, particularly horses and cattle. Improved stewardship would address this problem—land management changes such as rotating grazing areas and early detection and control, are the solution. The biological controls are effective under certain conditions, but should not be relied on to solve the population problems in pastures. BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR! Control tansy!
Italian arum (Arum italicum): This hardy invasive plant grows from a corm, an underground structure similar to a bulb. It is common in gardens and landscapes, and was frequently used as an ornamental. It is recognizable by its arrowhead-shaped leaves on long stalks, and the small blooms (in the form of spathes) that look similar to a calla lily blossom but are usually pale green.
Lesser celandine (Ficaria verna, formerly Ranunculus ficaria): This buttercup family plant poses a serious concern with regard to spring ephemerals (plants that grow and flower in the late winter and early spring, and then go dormant for the dry season). Because celandine begins its life cycle even earlier than our natives, it has a definite advantage, and can quickly populate an area to the detriment of the indigenous species.
Spotted-wing fruit fly (Drosophila suzukii): This insect poses a serious threat to all fruit growers and backyard gardeners. Instead of laying eggs only in ripened fruit, it has the ability to lay into fruit still entering the ripening process. Additionally, it uses invasive blackberry as an alternate host.
Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys): This insect is a pest for fruit and vegetables and can cause major economic damage. Fruit trees are of primary concern. Affects interstate movement of crops. Identification is challenging, as this stink bug looks very similar to other stink bugs.

Step 5: Test it out / patch up the wall
From there it was just a matter of painting the wall, and it was back to looking stock. I purchased a blank white wall plate from Home Depot. I drilled it out for an illuminated pushbutton and a 3-position keyswitch, both of which I bought from McMaster. I also purchased a plastic hatch door from McMaster for the control box. Lastly, I added an air conditioning vent above the door. This lets the air venting noises be heard, and it also provides me access to the valve and pistons should anything go wrong.
After you've tested the door and patched up the wall, that's about it! Good luck with your project and feel free to post comments and ask questions if I skipped over anything you might need help with. Thanks for reading!
This is fantastic, good job! I am totally going to build one of these some day!
Hats off to all your work :)
The "return action" of the Star Trek Turbo-Lift doors didn't really have a sound to them (until much later in the series that is). So, perhaps the "return spring" method of closing isn't such a bad idea.
The thing I find dangerous is that you didn't incorporate any kind of "Manual Override" in your design. Since you're using compressed air as the actual power for the door pneumatics you wouldn't need electrical power in an emergency. Just a bypass valve in one of your access panels or add a new panel or two. One for both sides of the door, because you never know what side you're going to be on when power goes out and you need to get in (or out) of the room.
Also, if you're thinking that a battery backup will suffice to answer these issues, you're just begging for problems. Battery powered UPSs are notorious for having the battery go bad from non-use. Yes I said NON-use. Plus the power that compressor takes at start-up will just pop the weak little breaker on the UPS leaving you still stuck on one side or the other. So I wouldn't bet my life or my kids life on a $50 UPS you got at Best Buy.
This is a mechanical device and it should have a manual bypass. Seems to me that this is a no-brainer and all that's needed is a couple 1/4turn ball valves and a couple anti-reversing valves installed.
A "Neat Door" is not worth dying over because you cheaped out. In my opinion, there is never a "Good day to die".
This is very cool though. There are still other things that you could do to it. Like add an RFID system or Thumb-print scanner or freak out your friends with an Ocular or Handprint Scanner to open the door! How about Voice operated command system or just a simple contact pad (like in the grocery stores) or a short range motion detector to activate it.
Also, there is a "single ram" method to open both doors that goes hand-in-hand with the "spring return" closure, using a thin cable and a couple small pulley-type wheels. Super simple design uses only 1 air line to the ram! This would decrease the cost and complexity of the build by a factor of 4 (don't ask, it just sounds good). So, you could have done either 2 doors with the parts you now have or just saved youself from buying the second ram, the extra hosing and fittings and the time it took to install all that extra stuff.
If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you a drawing of the modification.
These are just some things to think about.
Good job with the instructable. I liked it and so did a bunch of other people!
Having two cylinders was the simplest option for me at the time, not having any fancy tools to fabricate a pulley system. I don't understand how adding two pulleys, a cable, and brackets would simplify things more. They are both equally good options in my opinion.
A battery backup is just a convenience. If the power goes out, the door will still function normally. It doesn't replace the manual override or the fact that you can just force the doors open by hand if you need to get in or out, which I have done before. I wouldn't be buying a UPS from best buy, I would design a PCB for battery management. That's what I do for a living now.
Nobody is dying because I "cheaped out". If the power goes out, there is a manual override. If the compressor doesn't run, the lines will eventually lose air pressure and the doors will be even easier to open by hand. And heaven forbid, if the door doesnt open and the room is on fire, just climb out the window that's two feet away, don't be stupid.
But seriously, there are always going to be more "nice to have" features. I built it to be practical and unnoticeable, which it is for the most part. I don't even live in the same city anymore, and the door still works great 4 years after I built it. It saves space, it is easy for ANYONE to operate, and it looks cool! There are plenty of other uses for it to, such as in homes of people with disabilities.
Thanks for the constructive criticism.
The reason I wrote so much was to make my point clearly understood. I'm glad to see it was, thanks for answering.
I just think it's kind of strange that you didn't mention these things as they would undoubtedly come in to question the first time someone else tried this and stuck in or out of the room. And I'm always looking at the safety of things in our everyday lives to see if I can improve on the original design. I'm a hobbyist inventor and I have a some experience with these types of doors. You see, I used to work on elevators. And the worst part about losing power to an elevator is that there is no manual release for the outer doors. They can be opened but I had to create the tool to do it. What a pain! But, it was part of my job and that's part what I do for a living.
So, not finding any info on releasing the door manually and your response to one commenter with the Worf quote, made me think that you totally overlooked these things. I know how these things work. You build first, then test, THEN put in safety devices. I do it all the time. it just would have been nice to have had that included in your instructions. That's all I was saying.
But you did this and took all the pictures over 4 years ago? When did you post this?
Yeah, sorry, I thought I had linked to my blog from here. The instructable was done in a little bit of a rush and probably deserves some updating. Full details are at my site.
I built the door 4 years ago and never posted anything about it. Every time I go home for the holidays I see the door and realize how cool it is. This Thanksgiving I decided to take a video, and I dug up the pictures I took during the build from my old computer.
I didn't watch the video (at first) because I just wanted to read through everything first to get an idea of what your total project was about. Besides, people forget to include important details in most videos. They just aren't worth wasting time on unless it's clearly stated that there is information in the video that details something not easily explained in writing, like knot tying. Try explaining in writing how to tie a Turkshead or Monkeyfist to someone without showing them. Then, I would expect to see more mention of the video and that it needs be watched in order to understand. Even though it was mentioned, it just sounded optional.
But isn't the purpose of this site to put up ALL the information on how something is made and how you did it so someone else can do it too? Or, is it just a means to drive traffic to your site? (Now that I'm thinking about it, that's really a good idea, but it doesn't seem fair to use the site like that). But, when in Rome, right? LoL!
Either way, I totally dig the end result. I just wanted to point out the one thing I thought was overlooked, so others would stop and think a bit and maybe come up with their own way of implementing some safety measures.
Even more impressive than the door, is the fact that you built it 4 years ago and were able to pull together such a great instructable! I know my example of the house on fire is a bit much but I used to work in the Nor-Cal 911 call center.
I'm glad that you were thinking and did have a manual release in it somewhere at least I lust wish you would have shown how you did it. What can ya do now, right? ;)
One last thing... In the original Star Trek series, the doors weren't air-powered, they were powered by FDAs or Flunky-Drive Actuators. (Flunky-Drive Actuator = a stage hand)LoL!
"Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor not a brick layer!"
Uiproductions, great ible. You've inspired me to make an air powered door in my basement! I might even include a safety release on both sides(an ax because valving etc is too complicated).
Have you ever worked on Ben Dover Elevators or ever worked on any type of elevator for that matter?
2. So you actually made a drawing of a random modification to someone elses project, yet you decided to skip the video and go right to the instructions for fear of wasting time? lol
2. I didn't make a drawing. It says "PM me and I'll send you a drawing of the modification". Meaning I could draw it up, not that I drew a picture for him.
"These are just some things to think about." You must not have read that last line...
And I did watch the video, after I read threw it, but all the suggestions I made are based on first-hand experience with the different technologies involved with the controls and mechanics of automated doors.
And as I said, the video wasn't all that useful. it just showed the final product in action but it didn't show the build process. But he had a lot of nice pictures that did. So watching the video first wouldn't have given me the information I was looking for.
Just because something is at the top of a page, doesn't mean you HAVE to start there. It's just a suggestion.
So thanks for trolling.
Hey, no motion sensor? Then its Capt Archer and 'Enterprise'! They had to press buttons in the 'primitive' 22nd century! ;-)
Great 'ible!
great job, could you come to my place and do one for me :)
we dont have this technology here on erf... YET.
but in the meen time, I would imagine a infra-red motion sensor would be too much of a PITA for this scenario, however, a floor mounted pressure switch could be advantageous.
This was always an Idea to convert my room door but had four votes against it.
from family members.................????
This must be voted the best DIY project on Instructables.
Did you consider mounting your control box behind the mock air vent, instead of off to the side with separate access, and if so were there any reasons not to? Love the lock and key, btw.
Is the door sturdy in the middle at the bottom? I have a rather large dog that I'm sure would push on it to try to get in if I were to build something like this, and was wondering if it might be worth putting some tracks on the bottom as well as the top.

Katie Gallagher's show at The Standard gave us the weird feeling that often accompanies these standing-room-only presentations. Getting so close to the models that you can see every single detail of their skin is eerie — but luckily for the designer (a friend and R29 favorite), the clothes were meticulously crafted enough to distract us from the slight awkwardness of being so close to tall, fine-boned strangers.
The collection, magnanimously titled "Everything Is Forever," featured the designer's usual 50 shades of neutral (forgive the reference), with smoky-gray chiffon complementing thick, beige fabrics in layer after layer of separates, dresses, and jackets. And yet still, somehow, the ensembles managed to be sexy — with skin showing in unexpected places and spot-on drapery that manages to flatter the figure without re-shaping or dominating it. Paired with updos by hairstylist Cesar Ramirez that were at once messy and refined, it was a chic downtown girl's dream wardrobe.
And, of course, we can't leave you without mentioning the jewelry. Oh, the jewelry! Brooklyn designer Megan Isaacs provided multi-purpose filigree, handpieces, earpieces, and give-us-a-piece-of-that ornaments threatened to steal the show (as did musician Ella Joyce Buckley). All told, the clothing has the rare honor of holding up to close (like, see-your-goosebumps-close) scrutiny.

Coming to America
The Southampton Exchange Students Have Arrived
By Eric Harris '14
For the last three years, Webb Institute has provided the opportunity for sophomores from Webb to study abroad at the University of Southampton in England for their fall semester. Webb Institute has sent nine students to Southampton and you can read about this year's delegates' experience here. This year marks the first time Webb Institute has hosted students from Southampton. Professor George L. Petrie from Webb worked with Dr. Price and Dr. D. A. Hudson from Southampton to bring the idea to fruition.
The Webb Community is pleased to welcome Southampton students Elie Amar, Ruth Taylor, and Marion James. They learned about Webb when they met two of the members of the Class of 2011, who went to Southampton during their sophomore year. Then, in 2009, they met Professor Petrie when he went to England to talk about the possibility of an exchange program with Webb as the host.
Elie, Ruth, and Marion were excited to come because of Webb's location on Long Island, so close to New York City, and because of the opportunity to study abroad outside of Southampton. They immediately noticed the size difference between the University of Southampton and Webb. The University of Southampton has over 20,000 students, whereas Webb has a much smaller population of 75 students. The University of Southampton is much larger in geographic size as well, but Webb has an amazing view of the Long Island Sound and Stevenson Taylor Hall is a beautiful work of architecture.
Less than four weeks into the semester, the Southampton students haven't experienced much of Webb life, but they are waiting with excitement for the upcoming technical conferences and a weekend to visit New York City. They are enrolled in most of the senior-class courses, and they are also taking the junior Hydrodynamics course. They have especially enjoyed the Senior Special Topics courses in Marine Forensics and Archaeology and in Offshore Engineering.

Responding to President Barack Obama's call for federal agencies to speed infrastructure development through more efficient environmental reviews, the Federal Transit Administration issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on March 15.
The transit administration news release claims changes proposed will dramatically cut red tape and improve transparency for certain transit projects under the National Environmental Policy Act, and: "will put Americans to Work More Quickly, Revitalize Communities."
The transit administration "anticipates that, for certain transit projects, the streamlined NEPA review process would be five times faster." As an example of transit projects which do not have significant environmental impacts, the transit administration cites "projects to be built within an existing right-of-way where transit or other transportation already exists."
Although the transit administration proposal is well intentioned, the fundamental problems with the Dulles Rail approval process result from the lack of accurate engineering cost estimates and faulty economic and financial forecasts — which are used to justify potential ridership levels and growth in rail service demand.
Areas to be served by Dulles Rail are significantly less densely populated than communities served by the present Metrorail system. This folly has resulted from the failure of those responsible at federal, state and local levels to demand current objective analyses of overall project feasibility. This problem has been compounded by the stubborn refusal of the agencies involved — particularly the transit administration, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority — to allow any transparency, public input or oversight for most of their actions and decisions during the six years since MWAA was appointed by Gov. Tim Kaine (D) to build the rail project.
The $10 billion-plus capital costs for the original 103-mile Metrorail system were mostly funded by federal grants. The massive debt structure proposed for Dulles Rail will be mostly on the backs of toll road users. Including required infrastructure costs in station areas in Tysons Corner and on the Dulles Corridor, more than $10 billion in mostly local taxpayer money will be needed in addition to more than $15 billion in tolls during the next 50 years to pay debt service on MWAA's high interest rate junk bonds.
In Loudoun County, supervisors have taken time and money to evaluate the potential fiscal impacts of Dulles Rail Phase 2. Loudoun County has posted detailed information about Dulles Rail on its website for public review. Loudoun supervisors have asked numerous questions of staff.
By contrast, most Fairfax supervisors, to date, have buried their heads in the sand claiming they will minimize the burden to toll road users, and the Silver Line will be an economic bonanza. An OPM attitude pervades most county staff and supervisors. Wait until WMATA asks taxpayers to fund the $13.3 billion in replacement costs for the existing Metrorail system.
Several factors will combine to reduce projected rail ridership from figures used in the 2004 Final Dulles Rail Environmental Impact Statement.
The period of rapid domestic passenger growth at Dulles Airport between 1990 and 2005 has ended. Only moderate growth is anticipated during the next decade. Dulles recorded 23.2 million passengers in 2011, down from the peak of 27 million reached in 2005 at the height of Independence Air operations. Increased passenger boarding charges at Dulles (more than $26 per passenger up from $17 two years ago), service cutbacks at Dulles by JetBlue and Airtrans, and more long distance flights from Reagan National Airport recently authorized by Congress will compound this problem in the next several years.
Downzoning of residential areas in Loudoun County has reduced zoned population capacity there from more than 1 million people 10 years ago to fewer than 500,000 at build-out today.
Many more people work at least part time at home or on flex schedules today reducing potential daily transit demand. The greatest office market growth since 1980 has occurred outside the Capital Beltway, a trend expected to continue because of lower office rents and housing prices.
Demographic changes, the end of increasing female labor force participation rates and growing number of baby boomers entering retirement during coming years will result in lower growth in demand for office space than experienced during the past 25 years.
Loudoun County Transit provides a popular, rapidly growing express bus network. LCT had more than 1.2 million passenger trips in fiscal 2011 — up from fewer than 400,000 trips in fiscal 2004 and fewer than 200,000 trips in fiscal 2001. The express bus is — and will remain — cheaper, faster, more comfortable and offer far more flexible service than Dulles Rail.
Typical trips to the Pentagon and State Department are 45 minutes versus more than 1 hour project times via rail from the Route 606 Park-and-Ride lot north of Dulles Airport.
If Metrorail comes to Loudoun County, WMATA will take the currently $7.9 million in local gas tax funds from Leesburg, Purcellville, other towns and Loudoun Transit.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shocked the American public with its hasty approval of three highly controversial GE crops in a row (alfalfa, sugar beets and ethanol corn). In doing so, the agency effectively thumbed its nose at U.S. federal courts and spit in the face of consumers and farmers alike. Now, USDA has apparently decided that getting sued for ignoring U.S. environmental laws is getting to be too much of a hassle. So they've come up with a new plan: why not let Monsanto evaluate the potential harms of its new transgenic products? It'll be so much quicker this way. And save USDA a lot of money.
The two-year pilot program allowing GE developers to conduct their own environmental assessments for USDA is an "experiment" to improve its systems, says USDA. Tom Philpott calls it a craven way out.
Tomorrow morning, as you pour milk into your kids' cereal bowls or buy a latte to get you going, take a moment to think about the dairy and other family farmers who will be braving gusty winds off Lake Michigan to converge on the steps of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. These farmers are demanding an end to the price fixing and speculation by traders that has bankrupted thousands of family farmers across the U.S., while spurring food crises worldwide.
On January 27, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack announced the USDA's decision to de-regulate Monsanto's genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa, allowing it to be grown anywhere and placing both organic and conventional farmers at risk. "We in the farm sector are dissatisfied but not surprised at the lack of courage from USDA to stop Roundup Ready alfalfa and defend family farmers," said Pat Trask, a conventional alfalfa grower and plaintiff in litigation to prevent planting of GE alfalfa.
Please join me today in urging the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to block approval of GE alfalfa. Things are moving quickly in Washington, and frankly, they aren't looking good. Ignoring rulings from three District courts and the Supreme Court, the demands of over 50 members of Congress and concern expressed by his agency's own scientists (not to mention farmers and the public), Agriculture Secretary Vilsack is apparently refusing to take action to prohibit the planting of Monsanto's genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa.

Hollywood content sucks
And that's putting it mildly at least in my opinion.
The last Hollywood movie I saw was "Noah" with Russell Crow. It was so bad I thought I couldn't put it into words. The script was horrible and the acting was so poor it wasn't possible to hear anything he was saying. The plot was ridiculous and the only redeeming factor of the film was its VFX.
In fact that's about the only thing that's worth seeing in their movies anymore. The visual FX.
Toss in their abysmal TV content and you've got the perfect storm of a waste of time and if you spent money to see this garbage they churn out then you're throwing that away as much as your time.
Every once in a while decent content comes along. If I think about it hard enough I'll come up with something worthwhile. Maybe. And then it's simply a matter of waiting for it on Netflix or on the Web or some other alternative delivery system.
I'm not the only one who feels this way. Evidently many others do as the Hollysucks box office for the summer of 2014 is the lowest its been in the past 8 years and that's with inflated prices for what they try and pass off as entertainment.
Check out this article that appeared today in the Hollywood Reporter. If you read through the comments you'll see how the vast majority of their readers feel about this subject...
Box-Office Slump: Hollywood Facing Worst Summer in Eight Years
Domestic box office is down 20 percent in the U.S. as "Sex Tape" goes limp and, for the first time since 2001, no film crosses $300 million. Laments one studio executive, "I wish I worked at Netflix."
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/b ... ing-720420
Maybe if they gave up on continually trying to indoctrinate audiences on their subjective ideologies and just let people enjoy good movies and programming it would be different. Instead Hollytrash has turned into a politically correct mound of perverse hypocrisy.
Here's a suggestion to the executives. How about writing and finishing a script that makes sense before you start filming?
Here's another one. Watch classic movies. You know, the great films that this community used to make back in the days when it was fashionable to actually embrace quality. Learn from the legacy of truly great writers, filmmakers and actors.
I no longer watch TV and will probably avoid the movie theaters from now on. What I get through the Internet is far more satisfying.
Re: Hollywood content sucks
Wow, thanks for the heads up. And what a subject to mess up. I was curious about it due to my beliefs.
Last movie I saw in the theater was Wreck-It Ralph, since I've loved video games since Pong & it looked like fun animation. Yeah, I'm pretty picky due to finances anyway. If something exceptional comes along someday, I might see it.
Re: Hollywood content sucks
I apologize if I'm coming off in a negative way but I'm so fed up with this corrupt town and their twisted ways.
Superhero movies, sequels, more superhero movies, more sequels, more VFX, that's about all this place has to offer creatively. There's a few bright lights here and there mostly in animation but live action is in a sad state in my opinion.
Here's something else I'd like to share. File this under as vile and sick as it gets.
Think television can't get any lower than it is? Check out what MTV is planning...
Bozell & Graham Column: Step Right Up to MTV's Incest Plot
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham
July 19, 2014
For those who predict the coming collapse of Western civilization, there's always MTV for proof. At this year's Television Critics Association summer tour in Hollywood, MTV put on a panel discussion for the press with the cast and creators of a forthcoming series called "Happyland." The female star of the show, actress Bianca Santos, announced the new MTV motto: "Incest is hot, and we're going to have fun!"

Re: Hollywood content sucks
Charles, you are a professional story teller, artist and educator. You are fully capable of giving a truthful review, even if it's critical. Anyone making you feel negative about your truth, based on your extensive experience and diligence, is the one who is being negative.
Yeah man, Noah was about confusion. There is a war on our souls and consciousness and Hollywood is a big part of it.
I watch whats considered mainstream movies and the first thing I say out loud was, "Was there a script? Do people even write movies or do they just jump in with a concept and some actors??"
I went back to watching cartoons. The New Animated Teen Age Mutant Turtles is the bomb. it'll make you smile too!
Re: Hollywood content sucks
I try to find the positive in things and avoid as much as possible being cynical, or at least I've been attempting to do that over the course of time, but it's tough when it comes to this twisted town.
Here's more Holly-hypocrisy.
There's a celebrity oriented drive to stop gun violence in the US through a public service announcement along those lines recently. If these people put as much emphasis on ending gratuitous gun violence in the content that their own industry creates itself, don't you think things will improve?
If these actors really want an end to gun violence, then why don't they practice what they preach and get their own house in order first.
Re: Hollywood content sucks
Priceless! Check out this video. It's a response to the one above and perfectly proves my point...

Iowa Girls Capture 2 State Cup Titles
The High School age groups have completed the State Cup competition in Iowa and the Iowa Rush have won two age groups as the U17 and U18 Rush Girls have been crowned Champions!
The U17 Girls (at right) earned their second State Cup Championship in a row after going 3-0 in group play where they recorded wins against #2 seed JUSC/WDM, PSC and CRSA/ISC. Iowa Rush scored 12 goals while giving up just 2 in the first 3 games. The final game pitted the #1 seeded Iowa Rush team against the #2 seeded JUSC/WDM team, Rush scored 1 goal and that was all it took to bring home their State Cup Championship.
The U18 Girls ended their fall season on a high note with a hard-earned State Cup Championship of their own! Iowa Rush played 4 first round games, beating DM Menace, BSA, IA Alliance and JUSC/WDM. In the final game, Iowa Rush went on to play IA Alliance who is the returning State Cup Champion as well as defending Regional Champions. A very competitive game ended with a 3-1 scoreline and the State Cup Championship.
View all 2013/14 Rush State Cup winners
Both teams will now advance to the Region II Championships in Dayton, Ohio in June. Congratulations girls!

VMware on VMware
Bringing the Consumer Experience to the Enterprise
End-user provisioning and management is key to unlocking the opportunities of the cloud, and success in this area will come from bringing the consumer experience into the enterprise. For example, for social networking sites, no training is required because the technology is intuitive. In the enterprise, however, all too often user interfaces are much harder to navigate.
We are challenged in IT to do everything faster. Leveraging the kind of interfaces people already know from their consumer life is one way to accelerate cycles. Yet most enterprise applications don't come that way. We must migrate toward a more consumer experience in the enterprise, provide it on a mobile device and enable users to move seamlessly between devices.
See our top case studies below, or visit the Resource Library for more on solutions that offer companies the ability to provide users with a comfortable yet secure combination of devices of their choosing, accessible anytime, anywhere.
Latest Case Study: VMware Mirage Streamlines IT for Upgrades and Desktop Management
We used VMware® Mirage™ when faced with the task of efficiently upgrading users to Windows 7 while simultaneously improving image and desktop management. Mirage provides centralized image management for Windows desktops with enhanced levels of backup and OS migration capabilities. It also delivers an easy way to save on costs while delivering needed services—all with minimal business disruption.
Horizon Workspace—One Desktop, Many Devices, Streamlined IT
In the post-PC era, people use multiple screens during the workday—the typical worker uses up to 20 applications daily. VMware IT faced the challenge of delivering reliable access while ensuring that they enforced IT governance. Workspace Portal delivers users with access to the data and applications they need from any device through a private cloud. This ensures the security of company information and gives users all the apps they need through a single URL, eliminating multiple passwords.
Driving Lower IT Costs and a Better End-User Experience with Horizon (with View)
VMware needed to get VMware Horizon™ (with View) into production in order to have real-world use cases for general availability and also to support the rollout of its Horizon suite of applications. VMware also wanted to ensure that the process of upgrading Horizon (with View) was simple. The company put its own IT organization through exactly what the customer will go through, and asked them to take careful notes.

It was a big night for Nashville musicians at the 11th annual Americana Honors & Awards show on Wednesday, as stars of Americana music took the stage at Ryman Auditorium to salute their peers and fill the room with a broad range of rootsy sounds.
Nearly all of the night's awards went to local artists, including singer-songwriter Gillian Welch, who was named artist of the year, and musical partner Dave Rawlings, who won the instrumentalist of the year award, though neither were in attendance on Wednesday due to a personal matter.
Another winning pair — Nashville/Alabama duo The Civil Wars — were on hand to accept their first Americana award for duo/group of the year. The Grammy-winning group told The Tennessean they were honored to be recognized by the Americana crowd.
"It's the people that we respect and that we love, our heroes," said John Paul White. "People that led the way and showed us that we didn't have to fit in a box."

skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cloves
garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons
dried rosemary
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
My husband and I loved this, although I completely agree with others who said that the recipe calls for too much rosemary. We used less, especially since it's strong. To keep the chicken from drying out, I used a little more lemon juice and some foil over the top halfway through baking.
This recipe was very nice but it turned out rather dry. Also, the recipe called for way too much rosemary so I'd suggest people use their judgement on that and sprinkle as much on each piece as they want with their fingers.

This was SO amazing, it really tasted like it was from a restaurant. To combat dry chicken I poured 99% fat free chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover. I set the chicken in this, covered it with the lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic. Then I placed 2 thin slices of lemon on each breast... pretty, tasty, and provided a little more moisture. I did cut the rosemary back to 1 tablespoon, per others' suggestions. Very, very good... thank you!
I used 1/4 cup rosemary instead. Also, covered pan with tinfoil and added about 1/4 c. fat-free chicken broth. Used lemon-pepper in addition to lemon juice and thought it gave it just the right zip. Served with wild rice. A healthy and tasty meal overall.
Great, easy recipie...if you want to take a short cut though, use the garlic that is in a jar...it's so much easier and just as good. I also used fresh rosemary!
Fantastic recipe. I added about 1/3 cup of white wine just to give some additional flavor and it turned out great. I made it with the Italian Peas from this site and it was a meal I will definitely be making again.
I used fresh rosemary since I hate the sharp leaves of the dried rosemary you get in the spice aisle, and added some stock as other reviewers suggested. Covering with foil would have worked also. Nice flavor.
This was very good. I used less rosemary and more garlic then the recipe called for per others' suggestions. I also put chicken broth in the pan and some extra lemon juice. We tend to like a lot of flavor, so next time I'll use more rosemary. It was very juicy and tender and so healthy!

also if a brand or part # was available, that'd be awesome. Thanks.

Gallery: PHOTOS: 1 Bryant Park Tower Gets LEED Platinum Certification!
Housing the new headquarters of the financial giant Bank of America, the green features implemented in this design quickly allowed it to rack up all the points it needed to garner its LEED Platinum rating. Quite uncommon for a tower of its size, the new building employs a system for rainwater catchement and reuse, greywater recycling, energy efficient building systems, and high performance glass which maximizes day-lighting and minimizes solar heat gain and loss. However, it's the state-of-the-art, onsite 4.6-megawatt cogeneration plant that really gets the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' going. The advanced system provides a clean and efficient power source for the building's energy requirements, significantly reducing its reliance on the NYC grid. The system also perfectly compliments an incredible cooling system that produces and stores ice during off-peak hours, and then uses the ice phase transition to help cool the building during peak load. Another remarkable innovation is the air purification system – not only is the air entering the building purified to a high standard, but the air exhausted is also cleaned, effectively making the tower a giant air filter for Midtown Manhattan. With an area of over 2 million square feet, this level of green technology in one building is nothing short of remarkable.
But it's not all about intrinsic mechanical systems or energy and water conservation, the tower itself was constructed using a concrete manufactured with slag, a byproduct of blast furnaces. The mixture is a concoction of 55% cement and 45% slag, where the use of slag cement minimized any residual damage to the environment by decreasing the amount of cement needed and in turn lowering the amount of carbon dioxide output that would have occurred through traditional cement manufacturing. Moreover, the building was built by and large with recycled and recyclable materials, and all the materials were sourced locally to reduce carbon costs and to support the local economy.

Great little article! I was pleased to discover your website which seems quite fascinating. However I was a little put off by what I believe to be an error in the article.
I take issue with the factual accuracy of the following statement, "Today we're thrilled to announce that the green tower has just achieved LEED Platinum certification, making it the world's first office tower to reach the USGBC's highest rating!"
I'm not sure exactly how you are defining office tower, but the Joe Serna Jr. Cal/EPA Headqrtrs Bldg. in Sacramento, CA achieved a LEED Platinum certification almost 7 years ago. (can be verified at this website: http://www.usgbc.org/LEED/Project/CertifiedProjectList.aspx) Granted it is only a 25 story office tower, but it is an office tower with a Platinum certification.

Its is all good news, but what is the Bank of America or the owner of the building benefiting from this? What are there reason, why do they want to do this. However i would love for them to try and promote this by having other organization on on board.

Annie Oakley's incredible accuracy led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show and fame as America's first female sharpshooter. Nicknamed "Little Miss Sure Shot," her aim was so precise that she once knocked ashes off a cigar held by German Kaiser Wilhelm II. Her gold-washed Smith & Wesson revolver was made in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1881 and she later gave it to Bernard B. Bulawa, an NRA Life Member and noted marksman who had won many national competitions. This gun can be seen at the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia.
This gold-washed Smith & Wesson revolver was once owned by renowned exhibition shooter Annie Oakley.
Fifty years of freedom's most remarkable leaders.

Someone recently asked me how I get anything done when we have so many wonderful things to read and enjoy in the history room collection. It is true that it's easy to get absorbed in the books, photos, maps, files and scrapbooks that make up the collection; but something that is even better is sharing it all with others who love local history.But we know not everyone can come into the history room whenever they have a hankering to indulge their inner history buff, which is why we've spent years making KPL's local history collection accessible from anywhere. This began all the way back in 1997 with digitization of the cataloged photographs. Since then, we have digitized newspapers, photo albums, pamphlets, books, journals, maps, films, and catalogs. We've also built up an impressive collection of videos of local history programs that were presented here at KPL.All of these items have been linked in appropriate places throughout the website, but now they are also accessible from a single page that we call Local History Online: KPL Digital Archives. This is the place to connect to all of our digital offerings and easily keep up on what's new. So whatever your interest – be it photos taken at the Michigan Asylum for the Insane in the early 20th century, Kalamazoo newspapers from more than a century ago, or a Henderson-Ames catalog of regalia for Odd Fellow lodges – you can start your exploration at Local History Online.
You know how grateful you are to that long-departed relative when you come across an old photo album that they had carefully and completely organized, dated and captioned? We all want to be that conscientious when we're documenting our lives with photos, but it's so much more complicated now. Digital photos are extremely functional but create a whole extra layer of complexity when it comes to organization and identification. For those of us who have struggled with this problem there is a new book, How to Archive Family Photos by Denise May Levenick. In Part 1 of the book, readers learn how to safely store, organize, name, tag, and back-up their digital photo collections. Part 2 details digitizing heirloom photograph collections and Part 3 suggests projects for sharing and enjoying your digital images. Check out How to Archive Family Photos to get the most out of all those pictures you've been taking with your phone (and to be the most revered member of your family).
We are celebrating Historic Preservation Month, May, with a series of programs that highlight elements of the Westnedge Hill Neighborhood. We got an early start on April 30 with a fantastic program on Crane Park by Natalie Patchell. But don't worry if you missed it – we'll have it on the website soon.
On May 4th we will be learning about a Westnedge Hill gem with a fascinating history – Everyman's House. Our presenter, Wendy Mutch, is a former owner of the home and will treat us to a lively and fact-filled program. But wait, there's more! We are thrilled to be partnering with the Kalamazoo Valley Museum to display their model of Everyman's House at the program! This will be the first time it has been available for public viewing since the history gallery was re-done nearly 5 years ago.
Finally, Lynn Houghton will present the history and architecture of the neighborhood on May 14. Lynn has done many programs for us over the years and they are always excellent, but this happens to be her neighborhood so this might be the best one yet!
Both programs will take place in the VanDeusen Room at 7 pm, so be sure to get there early to get a good seat and have a chance to chat with Westnedge Hill residents and others with an interest in Kalamazoo's unique neighborhoods.
Not long ago, we received a donation of a photo depicting children and a few adults, presumably taken in front of a school. The donor thought that it was Vine Street School and from the early 1950s. Unfortunately, the building in the photo did not look like any images we have of Vine Street School, or any other Kalamazoo school that we have in our photo collection. So - was this even a Kalamazoo photo? The only obvious clue was the name of the photography studio stamped on the back – Central Studio. That did suggest at least the possibility of it being a local photo, since a Central Studio was in business in Kalamazoo from the 1930s until the late 1950s.
View a larger version of this photo
This is where local history really gets fun. I consulted with others to see if the building looked familiar to them. No one recognized it, but in talking it out we decided it looked like it could be a church instead of a school. Then the sharp eye of a colleague picked up something carved into a block behind the heads of several women on the left side of the photo. Examination with a magnifying glass determined that it said "Bethany." Another colleague pulled up a picture of Bethany Reformed Church in Kalamazoo and, sure enough, we had our building.
However, we still have questions. City directory searches do not show Bethany operating a school. Could this be a photo of the Sunday school classes? It seems like a very large group for that. Another possibility that we considered was that these were the students of McKinley School, which stood just a block away, but we have no idea why they would need to use the church for a photo.
Can you help us solve this mystery?
If you haven't logged into HeritageQuest lately, you're in for a big surprise! The database that KPL and other libraries have been providing for years for genealogical research has gone through a major change. Through a partnership with Ancestry, HeritageQuest is now able to provide more advanced search functionality (very similar to searching in Ancestry) and increased content.
The U.S. Federal Census 1790-1940 is now complete with an every-name index. There is a new image viewer with improved image resolution as well as simple save and share capabilities. They have also increased their book collection to include thousands of city directories. Research aids full of great information and tips are available – but don't be surprised when they refer you to searches in Ancestry. One of the wonderful things that HeritageQuest has always had, but you may have overlooked because it was completely buried on their old site, is the Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920. I love those maps and now they are prominently linked right at the top of the home page. Of course, the best thing about HeritageQuest is something that is exactly the same as it has always been – it is accessible from home by logging in with your library card number!
If you can't remember how to get to HeritageQuest and the other great databases that KPL provides for genealogical research, just go to the Genealogy Topic Guide and scroll down to the Databases section.
It is no secret that I am particularly fond of cemeteries. Unlike many people, I don't find them to be sad or spooky places. I love them for their park-like beauty, art, and architecture; and of course their history. After reading The Art of Memory: Historic Cemeteries of Grand Rapids, Michigan, I have to believe that its author, Thomas R. Dilley, feels the same way. The book is filled with beautiful photos of cemeteries, tombstones and mausoleums throughout Grand Rapids.
Dilley could have stopped there – many authors of cemetery books do - but the photos are just the beginning. The book deals mainly with the garden or park cemeteries of Grand Rapids, which first began to be established in the late nineteenth century. But this development is all put into perspective with an excellent history of burial and burial places going all the way back to the beginning of civilization. It goes on to tell the histories of the specific cemeteries and then further to explain the monuments themselves. For example, popular architectural styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - such as Greek Revival, Romanesque, Egyptian Revival, and Art Deco - are all represented in the tombstones and mausoleums of Grand Rapids, and Dilley explains their popularity and significance.
While the book includes a great deal of interesting Grand Rapids history, the insight provided into the evolution of cemetery design and tombstone architecture and symbolism will give you an understanding and appreciation for cemeteries anywhere in the country. You may find yourself picking up The Art of Memory for the beautiful images, but I guarantee you'll keep reading for the fascinating details.
With the holidays behind us, it's time to get serious about your genealogy research, and the local history room is full of resources to help you do just that! Whether you're just getting started, or have been at it for years, you can certainly benefit from a trip to the history room.You can't find a better place to dig up information on your Kalamazoo ancestors than our local information database. It includes more than four decades of full name and subject indexing of the Kalamazoo Gazette and well over 100 years of obituary/death story citations. But that's just the beginning – the database also includes indexing of local magazines and select Kalamazoo County newspapers, as well as citations for history room files and specific items in books in the history room collection. This includes portraits in many of the high school and college yearbooks.You don't need to have Kalamazoo roots to benefit from KPL's resources, either. We have hundreds of genealogy books, from instructional to vital records to compilations of ship passenger lists. In addition to Michigan, geographically our collection includes research volumes for Indiana and Ohio, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic States. We even have printed volumes for Canadian and European research. When you also consider our genealogy databases - Ancestry Library Edition, America's Genealogy Bank, Heritage Quest, and American Ancestors – KPL provides access to records from all over the world!Of course, there are many, many records that will never make it to a printed book or be included in a database, but billions of them have been microfilmed by Family Search. That is why KPL is a Family Search Affiliate Library. For a small fee, reels of microfilm can be borrowed from Family Search and sent here for viewing and printing or scanning with our digital microfilm readers. So what are you waiting for? Come on down to the history room and start researching!
If you read our Link newsletter or peruse the website from time to time, you probably know that KPL has hosted many wonderful local history programs in recent years. We've covered topics related to architecture, neighborhoods, women's history, shipwrecks, and even the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. All the local history programs have a Kalamazoo or Michigan focus. What you may not know is that most of these programs are recorded and the videos are made available on our website. Of course, nothing beats being at a program and having the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the presenter, but if you miss one, it's not too late to enjoy it.
Take a look at the recently posted video of WMU professor Brian Wilson presenting on the topic of his new book, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and the Religion of Biologic Living. I promise you will be fascinated (and then you'll want to go back and view any of the other programs that you missed)!
It's been a while since we posted an unidentified photo so this one has a bonus – an extra related photo. Both feature what appears to be at least three generations of a family posed in front of a house. One is taken from a distance, making the house fully visible. The house is brick and it is clearly in a rural setting. The family of nine adults and four children are spaced out across the photo. It appears to be a warm summer day with leaves fully out on trees and bushes, and windows open on the house. The children are posed with croquet mallets and balls as if they had just interrupted their game to have their photo taken.
The second photo gives a much clearer view of the family. They are tightly spaced in front of a porch on the right side of the house. Several of the women and children are wearing flowers pinned to their clothes. Styles indicate a date in the early 1890s.
Help us! Our local history photograph collection is a wonderful resource, but unfortunately not every photo comes to us with full details of the place, people, or date associated with it. For that reason, we are enlisting your help. If you have any idea who this family is, or if you recognize the house, let us know. But even if you don't, be sure to take a minute to enjoy these interesting old photos.
View all photos in the "unidentified" series.
On Monday evening, May 19th, the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club will present "Michigan Lighthouses: Past and Present," a trip along Michigan's shoreline with author Grace Truman at the Oshtemo Branch Library. Truman will illustrate her talk with a slideshow of photo postcards that she and her husband have collected over the course of their journeys.
Grace and Steve Truman are co-authors of Storms & Sand: A Story of Shipwrecks and the Big Sable Point Coast Guard Station (Pine Woods Press, 2014). Storms & Sand tells the history of a life-saving station that once stood in what is now part of Ludington State Park, and chronicles the lives of the lighthouse keepers at Big Sable Point.
Monday's program is co-sponsored by the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club and the Kalamazoo Public Library. Truman's presentation begins at 6:30 pm; books will be available for sale and signing.
And... if you're intrigued by the hobby of collecting postcards and other historic images, here's short video from the club's show and sale last month in Kalamazoo.
