Haus Rüscher: Near the cabin lift
I found this pension through the festival website. Perfectly normal place, nice people, nice breakfast, quite centrally located, easy walk from the harbor, the festival grounds and the railroad station. And it's only about a block and a half from the lower station of the Pfänder cabin lift.

Ken Ziffren Tapped as L.A.'s Next Film Czar
The power lawyer will replace Tom Sherak, who died last month.
Ken Ziffren will be named Los Angeles' next film czar, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
He will replace former Academy chief Tom Sherak, who died late last month after battling prostate cancer for a dozen years. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti's office expected to make the announcement next week.
Garcetti created the position last fall to boost film and television production in L.A. Sherak's appointment came as the city faced an exodus of production to other states and countries offering tax rebates.
STORY: Power Lawyer Ken Ziffren on Netflix, TV and Future of Hollywood
Ziffren will be charged with using his deep relationships to boost filming in the city. He is Chairman of the Entertainment & Media Law Program at UCLA and a founding partner of Ziffren Brittenham, one of the country's more prominent law firms. His roster of clients as a lawyer includes Jay Leno and Intel.
In 1988 he served as a neutral mediator to help resolve the Writer's Guild strike, and in 1994 he represented Starz in creating the premium pay television service.

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

WebRTC services have already permeated corporate communications in the form of videoconferencing solutions. However, WebRTC has the potential of going beyond and catalyzing a new class of services providing more than calls with capabilities such as mass-scale real-time media broadcasting, enriched and augmented video, person-to-machine and machine-to-machine communications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Luis Lopez, CEO of Kurento, will introduce the technologies required for implementing these ideas and some early experiments performed in the Kurento open source software community in areas ...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Who are you? How do you introduce yourself? Do you use a name, or do you greet a friend by the last four digits of his social security number? Assuming you don't, why are we content to associate our identity with 10 random digits assigned by our phone company? Identity is an issue that affects everyone, but as individuals we don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ben Klang, Founder & President of Mojo Lingo, will discuss the impact of technology on identity. Should we federate, or not? How should identity be secured? Who owns the identity? How is identity ...

GLOSSARY: Definitions of Plastering TermsLuke mechanically mixes plaster at the job siteJack holds the fiberglass mesh tight while Luke trowels it into the wet DurabondSpecial fasterners are used to secure the ceiling to old lathSam puts on the finish coatBart puts the final touches on a resurfaced ceilingLuke trowels a ceiling during resurfacingBart works on veneer plaster
Here are some common terms used when discussing plastering:Accelerators: used to prevent plaster from setting too slowly, to avoid dryout in hot dry weather and ensure normal strength when it does set.Acoustic or Acoustical Plaster: Plaster with pores in the set plaster or minute spaces bweteen the binding material, fibers and aggregates that 'soak up' sound.Admixtures: Ingredients other than aggregate binders and water that are added to plaster, like accelerators or retarders.Aggregate: Added to conventional gypsum plasters to extend coverage, reduce shrinkage and lower cost - e.g., sand or perlite.Alkaline: a pH greater than 7; a base, caustic. The opposite of acidic. Lime is alkaline.Alkaline-resistant Paint: A paint like an oil alkyd or masonry paint used to prime or paint plaster.Angle Float: Used for inside corner work with conventional plasters.Asbestos: Used in many products since the early 1900s - 1980s, due to high tensile strength, flexibility and resistance to heat, chemical and electrical conditions. Some acoustical plasters (e.g., those used in the 1920s) contained asbestos. It was usually the white finish coat over a brown/base coat applied to wire lath, and was typically white to gray. It was also mixed with other materials and sprayed on ceilings and walls to produce a soft, textured appearance. It was sometimes added to wall plaster during the 1910s through the late 1920s.Base Coat or basecoat: This term is used for two coat plaster. It is a doubled-up coat. Although it is relatively thin, it is extremely strong. Fills in voids and imperfections. Avalanche Plastering uses 3000 psi impact-resistant plaster which prevents visible screw pops.Blemishes: See Blisters.Blisters: Water-soluble, powdery crystals on the surface, generally white, can be brushed off. Caused by too much water in a plaster mix, over troweling, or too dry a base or brown coat.Blueboard: Sheetrock covered with special paper to chemically bond to plaster.Bonding Agent: Applied to a surface (like concrete) to improve the quality of the bond between it and the plaster application.Bond Failure: Base coat separation. Usually due to improper job conditions during plastering, incorrect mixing and application, or a weak scratch coat.Brown Coat: The second coat applied over the scratch coat of conventional plaster.Brown Out: When plaster begins to harden, and turns brown in color.Browning Brush: used to throw water on the surface of applied mortar to slip or lubricate the tools used for straightening.Browning Rod: A tool run across the surface on brown or base coats for leveling. Also known as a straight edge.Caster: A craftsman who works from a model to make a mold out of glue, rubber or plaster to reproduce an ornamental feature.Cat's Eyes: Voids in the surface of plaster.Cement Board: Strong, stable, heavy sheets made of aggregated and reinforced Portland cement. Typically used as a backing board for tile, but also as a substrate for veneer plaster for improved impact strength and abrasion resistance (e.g., schools or high-traffic retail locations). Can be nailed or screwed to wood or steel studs. Highly resistant to moisture.Cement Brush: A tool dragged across the scratch coat of plaster to roughen it for the second or double-coat.Cement Masons: people who lay concrete floors, sidewalks and roads.Cement Plaster: a mixture of plaster sand, Portland cement, lime and water, applied to masonry or wire mesh, usually on surfaces exposed to weather.Chip Cracking: Short, patterned cracks in the finish coat. It does not happen if the finishing plastered is applied over a damp base coat. It can be caused by overuse of retarder, a base coat that is too dry, hot dry air directed at the finish, badly prepared putty, or not enough gauging plaster or troweling.Coloring: A pigment is added to the plaster itself. The coloring must be carefully measured, and evenly applied. More ...Conventional Plaster: usually a three coat plaster system. It uses wood lath, or gypsum rock lath, masonry, or wire mesh for a plaster base. A uniform, blemish-free, smooth surface with excellent wear resistance. More .... Corner Bead: Used on outside corner edges to build out the depth of plaster to correct bows or dips in a wall, and provide a reinforced, durable corner.Cracks: Usually hairline, caused by poor materials, settling, workmanship, faulty construction (usually the source of large cracks), or plaster that dries too quickly.Crumbling: Soft, weak surface caused by use of too much sand aggregate or retarder.Cure: harden completely.Darby: A long, thin, flat blade used to float/smooth over freshly rodded brown mortar. Decorative Stucco: see Venetian Plaster Delamination: of base coat or mortar happens as a result of improper mixing or improper basecoating technique.Double Coat: A second layer of plaster. Sometimes referred to as greasing or sweetening. It leaves the surface without voids or trowel marks.Durabond™: a setting type joint compound, that is mixed from powder, hardens quickly and sticks well. It contains Plaster of Paris.Dryout: Soft, weak surface caused when the plaster dries so quickly from dry heat (e.g., from weather or hot air from a furnace) it doesn't have time to set hard. It is prevented by covering openings so direct wind doesn't strike the wet plaster.Drywall: Generic term for Sheetrock™.Efflorescence: a white, powdery salt-like deposit on the surface of masonry or plaster, caused by salts in the mortar or base coat. Also called whiskering or saltpetering.Fasteners: We use special corrosion-resistant, high impact screws and fasteners.Fat Dribbles: The milky residue of plaster that remains after water troweling.Feather: to thin joint compound from the thickness over the joint to the outer edge of a coat.Feather Tool: A broad tool like a straight edge except is is tapered to enable feathering at corners, etc.Felt (or Blister) Brush: Used in water troweling and final removal of fat dribbles.Fiberglass Mesh: gives plaster integrity and helps keep it from cracking. Alkaline resistant mesh is not affected by alkaline materials and won't deteriorate over time. Avalanche Plastering uses heavy duty, 4.5 oz. alkaline-resistant fiberglass.Field Cracking: cracks extending from corners of doors and window openings.Finish Coat: the final layer of plaster applied over a basecoat or other substrate. It can be burnished with a specialized trowel to a smooth, glass-like sheen. Avalanche Plastering applies this over the double-coat, and uses a two-coat application method.Finish Troweling: Done as soon as material becomes sufficiently firm, leaving a finish that is free from trowel marks, voids or other blemishes.Finishing Brush: used to apply water directly to the plaster surface. It must be of good quality to avoid scratching soft plaster.Flanking in: Applying a thick layer of putty and plaster.Float: A tool used to level and straighten the finish coat or correct surface irregularities. Can also be used to produce a sand-finish effect.Float or Spray Texture Finish: attractive durable finishes where surface texture is designed.Frozen Plaster: Plaster that freezes before it has set (which will have to removed) or after it has set (which can usually be thawed out). Usually detected by a white fuzz on the surface.Furring: Member or means of supporting a finished surfacing material away from a structural wall or framing. used to level uneven or damaged surfaces.Gauge: Thickness.Gauging Plaster: Super hard special plaster blended into lime putty to provide controlled set, early hardness and strength and to prevent shrinkage cracks. Avalanche Plastering uses Structo-Gauge, which produces s high-strength, durable white smooth-trowel finish with excellent hardness and abrasion resistance.Green: Plaster that is set, yet is still wet and has not cured completely.Grounds (Plaster): What a plasterer calls a screed, also sometimes called base beads. It is a piece of wood or metal attached to the framing or plaster base that acts as a gauge to determine the thickness of the brown coat, and also provides a straight edge.Gypsum: a soft mined mineral composed mainly of fully hydrated calcium sulfate (CaSO4 2H2O) or calcium sulfate dihydrate. Gray to white in color. Fire resistant and adaptable for construction purposes.Hair: Typically horse or ox hair that was mixed in with plaster as a binder, to add strength. It is no longer used in most modern plasters. Avalanche Plastering uses USG Red Top wood fiber plaster.Hardwall: A scratch and brown coat of plaster in lieu of soft gypsum drywall. It is specific to conventional plastering.Hawk: a tool that holds a supply of mortar for immediate use. The trowel is used to pick up mortar from the hawk and apply it to the plaster base.Home Improvement Contractor's License: Required in some states. Protects the homeowner. Avalanche Plastering is licensed in Connecticut and Fisher's Island and Suffolk County, NY. States strongly urge consumers to work only with registered contractors. See What to Look for in a Home Improvement Contractor.Hydrated Lime: Quicklime that has been slaked without being saturated with water. It is a dry powder with just enough water to supply the chemical reaction.Italian Plaster: see Venetian Plaster Job-mix: mixed onsite.Fiberglass Mesh: While the hot mud is still wet, Avalanche Plastering trowels in heavy 4.5 oz fiberglass mesh over the entire surface to tie the whole ceiling or wall together and prevent cracks.Float Finish: A sand float finish, usually done with a sponge. It is not a hard, pressed finish.Joint Compound: a white substance similar to plaster used to seal joints (e.g., between sheets of drywall) - sometimes referred to as 'mud.'Joint Tape: Special paper, fabric or glass mesh used with joint compound to reinforce joints between drywall.Keenes (or Keene's or Keane's) Cement: almost pure anhydrous calcium sulphate which sets much more slowly than Plaster of Paris. There are two types - regular (slow setting) and quick setting. The only kind of plaster that can be retempered. Sometimes used for color or lime-sand float finishes.Key: Space for mortar. Interlocking 'nibs' or grip where the plaster protrudes through lath, reinforcing the bond between the plaster and the wood. May be accomplished by wet mortar penetrating into paper fibers, scoring irregularities, perforations (e.g., in fiberglass mesh) or lath.Lath: Narrow wooden strips, usually white pine, spruce, fir, redwood or other soft, straight grained materials Usually 5/16" x 1.4" x 4", and nailed to studs or joists. Today may be metal or gypsum. Part of a structure used as a base for plaster.Lather: tradesmen who strictly installed lath systems as a base for plaster. They are no longer very common.Lime: Calcium oxide or hydrated calcium oxide. It is a mineral that is very active chemically and is extremely alkaline.Lime Mortar: historic plaster mix of lime and sad with enough water to make it plastic.Lime Plaster: A mixture of calcium hydroxide and sand (or other fillers).Lime Putty: Powdered lime mixed with water. The resulting putty is later mixed with the gauging plaster.Liquid Bonding Agents: Used in the brown and finish coats to coat old, rough antique finishes without chopping the old finish off. Recommended over flanking in. Can usually be done without removing trim or baseboards.Machine Mixing: instead of mixing batches of plaster by hand, Avalanche Plastering mixes it with a heavy duty drill that spins at 900 RPM, which ensures proper workability.Plastering: The art or skill of applying various materials over surfaces producing both exterior and interior walls, ceilings and other surfaces in the construction or remodeling of buildings, homes and other structures. (Source: Plastering Skills)Map (or Craze) Cracking: A series of long, irregular, fine cracks. May be caused by weak brown mortar (e.g. applied too thinly or over sanded), vibration (e.g., near highways), or big temperature changes (e.g., on suspended metal lath ceilings).Mechanical Bond: When plaster penetrates into or through a substrate.Mechanical Mixing: Uses a mixing paddle driven by a heavy-duty high speed drill that disperse and blends ingredients by shearing rather than folding. Mandatory for veneer plaster finishes. Proper mixing is essential to maximum plasticity of mortar.Molding Plaster: Calcined gypsum ground very fine to bring out details in ornamental trim, cornices and cast work.Mortar: Mixture of gypsum plaster or Portland cement with aggregate or hydrate lime and water.Mud: Slang for joint compound.Nail Pops: When small areas over the nail head fall off and you can see the nail. Usually caused by wood that shrinks or was improperly cured.Ornamental Plaster: Decorative treatments such as crown mouldings, rails, lintels and wall and ceiling details. Features are often screeded in place. More intricate forms are molded and the formed pieces are later mounted in place.One Coat: Where one coat of finish plaster goes right on the blueboard. Avalanche Plastering prefers a two coat system.Over sanding: Usually caused when plasterers who are trying to save money add extra sand, which seriously weakens the mortar, causing the finish coat to crack and loosen.Overly Retarded Plaster: When the plaster has too much retarder and does not set. If it is left on, it will dry out and get soft and powdery.Patching: repairs and alterations to existing plaster. Use of a well aged putty and enough gauging plaster results in a hard, well-bonded patch. Patching requires as much workmanship as new plastering, and a careful workman can restore it to excellent condition.Perlite: A naturally occurring amorphous volcanic glassy mineral with a relatively high water content.Plaster Mix: A combination of an aggregate, a cementing material (binder), and water.Plaster of Paris: A type of building material based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate. It is made out of gypsum.Plasterer Tender: The person who mixes materials for the plasterer, puts up scaffolding, and cleans up. Sometimes called a hod carrier.Plaster (repair) Washers: Galvanized steel washer with a countersunk screw hole in the center, and additional holes in the washer to allow the plaster to mechanically bond to it. They are used in resurfacing.Plaster Work: May refer to plain plastering of walls and ceilings, or ornamental work (mouldings, figures in relief or sunk into the surface).Portland Cement: A common type of hydraulic cement used in concrete, mortar and stucco and non-specialty grout. Used in interior applications where high-moisture conditions exist, or for exterior stucco.Quicklime: Calcium oxide (CaO), which is made by burning or calcining limestone rock. It is very caustic.Remixing: Mixing plaster a second time after it has stiffened or started to set. With the exception of a plaster finish called Keenes Cement, plaster should never be re-tempered, so once mixed, that is it, and Avalanche Plastering never remixes. Doing so would significantly weaken the plaster.Resurfacing: (of old plaster) Applying a new plaster finish over the existing surface.Retarders: used to extend setting time for basecoat plaster.Retempering: See Remixing. Rod: A straightedge.Running (a mold): forming an ornamental plaster feature like a cornice, using a mold in repeated runs or passes to develop the shape.Rusting: See Staining.Saltpetering: See Efflorescence. Sand: Must be washed and screened before adding it to plaster. Too much sand in a mix can cause problems.Scaffold: Portable metal stands with diagonal braces, which creates a platform the plasterer stands on to reach high areas.Scagliola: imitation marble finishes developed in Italy in the 15th century.Scarifier: A wire-barbed tool for raking the wet surface of the scratch coat, so the brown coat can key and bond correctly. Scarifying or Scoring: Roughing up or raking the surface so the subsequent brown coat has grooves to "bite" into, and can mechanically bond to the scratch coat.Scratch Coat: the first layer or application of plaster.Screed: A strip of plaster or wood drawn across a surface to be plastered to serve as a guide for making a true, level surface. Also used as a verb to mean straightening or leveling with a rod or similar tool. They are created between plaster grounds.Set: Harden and hydration of gypsum plaster or setting-type joint compound.Setting Time: How long it takes for the basecoat to harden. Retarders can be used to extend setting time.Sgraffito: laying coats of different colors of mortar, one over the other. While the coats are still soft, portions of the top coat are removed (e.g., with a stencil or wire brush), exposing the color underneath.Sheetrock™: Gypsum board or plasterboard, used for interior walls and ceilings. A USG brand name for drywall. It is made of a paper liner wrapped around gypsum plaster. It is inexpensive, and fairly easy to install. It became popular in the 1950's.Slake: Adding water to convert quicklime to hydrated lime.Slicker: A tool with a beveled edge used to level and smooth plaster coats. Skim Coat: A loosely used term where joint bond, spackle or Durabond™ or plaster is smoothed over a surface.Skip Troweling: A heavier decorative finish. It is usually done on ceilings to save cost, in part because it doesn't need to be painted.Stains or Staining or Rusting : Caused by use of improper fasteners or exposed, improperly prepared metal trim.Stilts: Strapped onto legs to allow the plasterer to reach high areas like ceilings. They have articulated joints to flex with ankle movement.Structo-Gauge: See Gauging Plaster.Stucco: a mixture of an aggregate, binder and water used to coat walls and ceilings and for decoration. Usually used outdoors. Traditional stucco is made of lime, sand and water. Modern stucco is made of Portland cement and water. It is very hard and brittle, and prone to cracking. Avalanche Plastering does stucco repairs, patches, and specialty jobs (e.g., an porch ceiling).Substrate: Underlying material.Sweatout: Occurs when their is too much moisture (e.g., from lack of air circulation) and the plaster does not set. Windows should be left open a little.Texture Finish: a decorative finish that can provide interest and cover minor defects in the base surface.Trowel: Plasterers used a specialized flat stainless steel finishing trowel that is rigid but has just the right amount of flex. Trowels are used to apply, spread, shape and smooth materials. Avalanche Plastering usually uses new trowels to scratch and double the plaster to achieve a flatter surface.Trowel Finish: a smooth, easily maintained surface, often a base for paint or wall coverings.Trowel Lines: Line marks in the plaster from the metal tool. Avalanche Plastering uses three strokes in a continuous motion when troweling to minimize lines.Two Coat System: A finish coat of plaster over a base coat. Can also be used over a masonry base like brick.Veneer Plaster: One or two coats of thin plaster over sheets of special gypsum board called Blueboard. Avalanche Plastering uses two coats for superior leveling and durability. A strong, highly abrasion-resistant surface.Venetian Plaster: a decorative polished lime or resin plaster. It is also called "Decorative Stucco" or "Italian Plaster." Some people refer to it as a "faux finish," but it is actually plaster with a shiny, showy finish. In lieu of this, Avalanche Plastering colors plaster, which results in a unique, more natural look with dark and light highlights. More info...Vermiculite: Silica, magnesium, aluminum oxides and some other minerals, used as an aggregate in plaster.Water Damage: Caused by repeated wetting and rotting of plaster. If a roof leaks or water pipe breaks and the affected plaster dries out rapidly, there is usually no damage.Water Troweling: Wet troweling.Whiskering: See Efflorescence. Wire Mesh: Galvanized expanded metal wire used in conventional plaster, woven or welded. It comes in light duty 2.5 lb or the heavier 3.4 lb weight. Avalanche Plastering will only use the sturdier 3.4 lb weight.Wood fiber plaster: has shreds of wood fiber in the mix, greatly strengthening the scratch and brown coats.References:Plastering: Skill and Practice, by Van Den Branden/Hartsell, 1984, second edition.Gypsum Construction Handbook, Centennial Edition 2000, USG CorporationWikipedia.org

La Terminologia del twirling és un recull dels termes bàsics que s'utilitzen en aquest esport, que es practica amb acompanyament musical i que consisteix a executar exercicis de manera coordinada i harmònica amb un o més bastons, o bé, en modalitats habitualment d'exhibició, amb pompons o banderes. La Terminologia del twirling conté una setantena de termes, classificats temàticament en tres àrees: conceptes generals; modalitats i disciplines, i elements. Amb aquesta obra es pretén cobrir el buit terminològic que hi ha en català entorn de la terminologia pròpia del twirling, un esport que en els darrers anys ha arrelat en el territori català.
Cada article terminològic conté una denominació catalana principal i denominacions catalanes sinònimes, si n'hi ha; els equivalents en castellà, anglès i francès documentats; una definició, i, quan s'ha considerat necessari, notes complementàries. També inclou l'àrea temàtica en què es classifica el terme.
Des de la pestanya "Consulta de termes", es pot accedir a les fitxes terminològiques de tres maneres diferents: mitjançant l'accés a la llista alfabètica de totes les denominacions (per a cada un dels idiomes del diccionari); mitjançant l'accés temàtic en català, o mitjançant cerques simples o avançades (directament al quadre "Text de la consulta", en qualsevol de les llengües del diccionari).

"Este trabajo presenta dos glosarios bilingües de términos educativos (Estados Unidos de América y España), uno de ellos de términos completos y el otro de abreviaturas, siglas y acrónimos, complementados con un apéndice de escalas de calificaciones en ambos sistemas. El número de entradas de los dos glosarios en conjunto está ligeramente por debajo de las 1.500. Estos glosarios están destinado a traductores (principalmente jurados) de documentos académicos norteamericanos (expedientes académicos y diplomas sobre todo). Corren pues en un sólo sentido (del inglés al espafiol). El trabajo de proporcionar la versión del español al inglés, de hacerse, no consistiría únicamente en invertir el sentido de las entradas. Los conceptos diferirían en una buena proporción y el tipo de artículos correspondientes a los mismos conceptos también diferirían en buena parte. Esperamos que alguien se decida a hacer este trabajo en breve. El hecho de ser glosarios para traductores aparta en gran medida a este trabajo de diccionarios o glosarios que se intentaran en el mismo campo con otra finalidad (normalizadora y sistemática) o destinados a otros usuarios (usuarios generales del inglés)."

Things Are True
by Dan Coburn
Pastor, Emmanuel Baptist Church
Three things in the New Testament are synonymous. Sin, Self, and Flesh. Anytime the Word of God describes someone as being "in the flesh", it is a description of sinfulness. Anytime His Word talks about "self", it is a classification of someone in sin. And of course, sin is sin. Your Bible may use the word "carnal" instead of flesh or fleshly, but it's the same thing. There are 11 references to "carnal", 423 to "flesh" and sin, well you get the picture. God describes our Pre-Christian nature in Eph. 2:3 where He says we followed - "the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind:" Romans 7:5 talks about - "when we were in the flesh". Romans 8:5 says that - "they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." and 6 = "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace". Paul writes in 1st Cor. 2:14 "But the natural man (carnal) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." In chapter 1 vs 18, we learn that the very preaching of the Cross is - "folly" or "foolishness to them that are perishing. But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God".
Let's turn the ever unpopular Spiritual Switch. When someone earnestly tries to share the message of the Cross with you, what is your reaction? Pre 1986, I thought these Jesus freaks were indescribably stupid. They must need a crutch. Church was tantamount to mass hysteria or worse yet, mass hypnosis. Jesus was for old ladies and crippled people. I was young and strong and certainly didn't need anyone telling me what I needed to do or especially, to tell me what I needed not to do. Take a deep breath, and let me share a couple of things from post 1986. Jesus says something in Mark 4 that should scare us to death. He had been teaching in parables. In fact, that's nearly the only way He would teach. His disciples asked Him why, and His reply as recorded in 11-12 is chilling. "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." Does this make you mockingly shake your head? Is it all still "moronic"? If so, according to our Lord, you are "without" or outside the camp, or Lost. You are perishing because you stubbornly "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." 2nd Thes. 2:10 Just a nugget to chew on. No one in history, ever came to a saving knowledge of Jesus on an intellectual basis. "For by grace are ye saved, through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8-9 Doesn't make sense to you? Spiritual things are Spiritually discerned. Apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ, you have not the Spirit, and you cannot grasp things of the Spirit (His words not mine). If you haven't thrown the paper yet, there is Good News. "Whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord, Shall be saved." Romans 10:13 For more information, contact a Christian. God Bless.

Fifty-six pillars (twenty on the north and south sides, ten on the west, and three on either side of the entrance on the east) in bronze sockets held up the linen hangings. Another four pillars supported the screen. Their arrangement is not specified; neither is the placement of the tabernacle within the courtyard. The pillars may have been held in place by pegs and guy ropes (35:18).

Yesterday's bad news was that after a trend of firms easily topping the low bonuses set by the former "market leaders" at Cravath, we're now looking at a firm that claims it is top tier, but is paying demonstrably less than the already sad CSM bonus amount.

Michael Symon Takes the First Round of Chopped All-Starsby FN Dish Editor in Food Network Chef, Shows, April 10th, 2012
Yesterday on FN Dish, we broke down the first episode of Chopped All-Stars for you, including an interview with runner-up Marc Forgione.
Today, we're chatting with the first-round winner and Iron Chef extraordinaire, Michael Symon.
What was it like competing against your fellow Iron Chefs?
MS: It's always flattering and an honor to compete against chefs that work at such a high level. It's also so much fun.
Which basket did you have the most trouble with?
MS: Dessert. I'm not a huge fan of rum.
The black bean caramel sauce — you had judges and viewers puzzled by this creation. What do the black beans do to the sauce? Is this something you'd recommend people at home try?
MS: I wouldn't say this has to be done at home. The black beans were in the basket because they're an unusual ingredient for desserts. As someone who doesn't like desserts that are too sweet, I knew the beans would cut the sweetness of the caramel and I think the result was a well-balanced dessert.
You're still undefeated (Burger Bash, too), and even though he lost, Marc Forgione wants you to bring the whole thing home for the Iron Chefs. What's your strategy going into the grand finale?
MS: My strategy is to continue to cook good food. The plating of my first course wasn't up to my personal standards, but when I only have a few minutes, I focus on preparing the tastiest food that I can make. I always hope to be judged on taste.
Tune in this Sunday at 9pm/8c when four gourmet globetrotters — Keegan Gerhard, Marcela Valladolid, Jeffrey Saad and Aarti Sequeira — take their place on the Chopping Block.
