Pre-Existing Conditions And Life Insurance
While there are a lot of people that understand just how important life insurance is, there are some who do not realize just how devastating it can be for their loved ones to be left without a financial safety net upon their passing. There can be any sort of sudden illness or accident that can lead to an unexpected death, so it is always a good idea to hold a life insurance policy to give your loved ones financial security. If you happen to have a pre-existing health problem, you will want to look into your options so that you are not paying a high rate for your insurance coverage. Such pre-existing conditions can include asthma, cancer, heart disease or diabetes.
The good thing is that you can still have options when it comes to high risk life insurance policies. It is all a matter of finding the best rate and the coverage that you desire. By working with an insurance advisor, you should be able to find the best coverage regardless of whatever health condition you are dealing with. Whether you have been turned down in the past due to your health problems or you are worried about having to pay a high premium, the right advisor will be able to work with you to get a good rate that you can afford.
Getting a Life Insurance Policy with a Pre-Existing Condition
The major difference when it comes to impaired or high risk life insurance is that the client is able to be matched with a provider that works with the best coverage for any given health issue or you can opt for a guaranteed issue policy where you have no health questions at all. This actually takes away a lot of stress that would normally come along with insurance policies for those who have pre-existing health problems.
Insurance agents who represent your normal life insurance company will only offer the policies that are sold by whatever company that they work for. This means individuals that have health problems could pay more. This is why it is so important to find the right advisor who will shop around to get you the best rate for a high risk policy so that you can have great coverage.

Hi everyone, I'm sure these topics have been discussed a few times over, but I can't seem to find the right info.
I bought a sheet of 3 mm white Sintra at a surplus shop (PVC sign board as they labeled it). The guy behind the counter called it "Plexiglas" (I don't know where that came from, I know what Sintra looks like).
Anyway the Sintra has a slight pitted texture in it - - I tried and this texture can be lightly sanded out (or should I leave it?). I plan to use this material for the chest, shoulders, back, rear and cod plates using the WOF templates.
I've been using styrene for my jet pack, so I tested some plastic cement on the Sintra. It didn't hold.
My question is what kind of glue does everyone use to secure the pieces of plastic that will hold the "snaps" to the back of the Sintra armor? I was thinking PVC plumping glue.
Also can Sintra be used to make sturdy WOF knee armor - - What glue (if any) will securely hold the three major "knee cap" pieces together.
I hope someone out there can give me a little advice.
Thanks gang.

"The design really stands out and the Tiny Prints editor was able to customize the cards and place an image on the back instead of the logo. They turned out really cool!"
"Outstanding card design and print quality. Get reviews all the time, notice people actually "feel" the weight of the paper and look at the card, it gets their attention. Received multiple compliments. Only drawback is on the "logo" area of the design page is seems a bit small, actually trimmed my logo a bit when I ordered a set, nothing noticeable but I knew."
"I was always asked if I had any Business Cards on me, and unfortunately, I didn't until now. I went to Tinyprints.com and I had a selection of Business Cards to choose. I chose this card. It was simple, yet business type of a card. The cards had arrived early, after they were done, and they were packaged very well."
"I think that more picture size and content options would be useful. It looks too small on the back. It is an impressive picture from a Tibet pass."
"I am so pleased with my new business card. It's sleek, elegant and the card stock is high quality. I will definitely order from Tinyprints again."

The 2012 European Championship is now in full swing and Arsenal.com will be keeping you regularly updated with the progress of the Gunners taking part in the tournament.
Lukas Podolski, Nicklas Bendtner
Germany 2-1 Denmark, Group B
Sunday, June 17
Lukas Podolski marked his 100th international appearance with a goal as Germany secured their place in the last eight of Euro 2012.
The 27-year-old - who will join Arsenal after the tournament - became the youngest European player to reach a century of caps and made the occasion even more special with a goal after 19 minutes against Denmark.
Podolski finished with a flourish when Thomas Muller's low cross found its way to him inside the box, opening his account for the tournament in the process.
Denmark boosted their own hopes of a quarter-final spot when Nicklas Bendtner set up an equaliser for Michael Krohn-Dehli after 25 minutes.
Bendtner has had an impressive tournament and could have won a penalty when he was pulled back as he tried to convert a chance in the second half.
But the Dane will be heading home after Lars Bender secured victory for Germany with a calm finish 10 minutes from time.
Podolski and Germany will face Greece in the last eight - and Per Mertesacker will hope to make his first appearance after another 90 minutes on the bench for the tournament favourites..

Royal Holloway: update
I am told -- second hand, but I think accurately -- that the Principal of Royal Holloway has now communicated with all his staff; and it rather confirms my suspicions about what is driving all this.
Professor Layzell is concerned, he says in his letter, about the "academic portfolio" of Royal Holloway.. PORTFOLIO? like a set of investments? Indeed, he actually says he wants 'to invest in Royal Holloway's core strengths'; 'we are proposing,' he explains, 'a finely judged reconfiguration of our academic portfolio.' (This is a University, remember.. but nothing so far except about the uni's business model.)
He insists that the staff affected by this 'finely judged reconfiguration' were briefed ahead of Wednesday's meeting (well they were briefed on the Monday before a meeting that took place just two days later.. what kind of empowerment was that?). And he now puts all his eggs into the basket of 'internal consultation', saying that there will be no public statement until October (by which time it is presumably to be all agreed).
For Classics and Philosophy, the reasons for the reconfiguration are:
1) slipping student satisfaction scores (I wonder if students realise that sounding off in a questionnaire, which is what students are SUPPOSED to do, could result in the whole department being shut down... ironically it is some Classics courses devised by the Royal Holloway department that AC Grayling has borrowed for his New College, so someone thinks they are good! );
2) a lower than average research performance (it is true that the department did not do brilliantly in the last RAE, but just look at what is coming out of this department now...anyway, one thing is for sure: all the time these guys are going to be spending fighting for their survival will take their minds and energies off their research);
3) a substantial departmental deficit (here we see the danger of various Resource Allocation Models. You can easily make any department look as if it is making a profit or a loss, depending on how you decide to construct the figures. At one stage in Cambridge it looked as if the Facuty of Classics was going to be 'credited' with a vast deficit because we have so many square metres allocated to a Museum, one we have owned and used, in various forms, since the late 19th century -- but at that stage we were threatened with being 'charged' for every square centimetre we 'occupied'.) To break even, the Holloway Department would need to take twice as many students, and 'the College does not have the numbers to allocate'... and, he claims, isnt sure they could attract them anyway.
So the proposal is to cut all study of Classics in the original language, and invest entirely in History and Classical Studies ('where demand is still strong'...this is a demand economy obviously, not an EDUCATIONAL university). And the remaining 'classicists' will move to History, 'to enable the shared teaching of ancient history, leverage of research leadership and shared administrative support'. ('leverage of research leadership...'? what does that mean -- especially when you are cutting the whole linguistic side of this operation.)
Now, I know that outsiders like me can never really understand what is going on inside another institution. I have no idea what the student questionnaires are like, or the potential research submissions to the next Assessment Exercise. There will be all kinds of things going on that I know nothing off.
All the same, it doesnt take much to smell a commercial argument for academic change here.

Taylor Wilson Named To Women's Soccer Staff
Iona College women's soccer head coach Mike Barroqueiro announced the addition of Taylor Wilson as an assistant coach for the 2012-13 season. Wilson is a 2012 graduate of Seton Hall University, where she obtained a degree in athletic training.
"I am excited to welcome Taylor to the Iona family," said Barroqueiro. "It was a thorough search process but I put together a list of must-haves and without a doubt, Taylor meets and exceeds each one."
In 2011, Wilson led Seton Hall with 14 points, tallying four goals and a team-high six assists and received All-Big East accolades for the first time. Wilson finished her career with five goals and 12 assists for 22 points. Her 12-career helpers rank fourth in school history and the sixth assists in 2011 are the fourth most for a Pirate in a single season.
Wilson tied for eighth in the Big East in assists and 10th in assists per game. She received a number of awards throughout the season including: Big East Honor Roll (Aug. 23), Big East Offensive Player of the Week (Sept. 19) and the CollegeSoccer360.com and SoccerAmerica.com National Player of the Week (Sept. 20).
"Taylor has an incredible passion for the game and her positivity is infectious. Add that to her stellar playing career at the highest levels of women's soccer and you have the makings of a wonderful young coach," added Barroqueiro. "We pride ourselves on always taking steps forward as a program and adding Taylor is another huge step in the right direction for us."

Conservative activist Barton: Are American children poor "because they only have two TVs instead of three?"
On the November 9 broadcast of the nationally syndicated radio show Janet Parshall's America, conservative and religious activist David Barton [1], founder and president of WallBuilders [2], a "national pro-family organization" that, according to its website, "seeks ... to rebuild that which makes America strong -- its constitutional, moral, and religious foundations," questioned the statistic that "one out of five American kids live in poverty," asking, "Is that because they only have two TVs instead of three?" Barton further challenged the impact of child poverty, asking host Janet Parshall, "[W]hen's the last time an American kid died of malnutrition?"
According to Columbia University's National Center for Children in Poverty [3], of the approximately 70 million children in the United States, roughly 27 million [4] live in low-income families. In 2004, 17.6 percent [5] of households with children under 18 reported food insecurity, which the Economic Research Service [6] of the Department of Agriculture defines [7] as "limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways."
From the November 9 broadcast of Salem Radio Network's Janet Parshall's America:
PARSHALL: David, I'm going to ask this question. I know I'm going to come up against a break, and I'll ask you to finish on the other side. But I want our friends to start being quickened to the phrase "social justice." You and I know what that is. Give a working definition to our friends.
BARTON: Yes. Social justice is the new mantra, if you will, for religious left, the religious left agenda. And so what they're calling social justice is health care, what they're calling social justice is ending poverty. And by the way, I was really intrigued with what [former Democratic presidential candidate Gary] Hart said on poverty -- 1 out of 5 American kids lives in poverty. Is that because they only have two TVs instead of three?
And I don't mean to down that, but when's the last time an American kid died of malnutrition? Our definition of poverty, we keep redefining -- he [Hart] was right, whoever controls the words controls the debate -- we need to raise that lifestyle, but for them to make that a social issue that overcomes the issues of abortion, marriage, et cetera, their social justice message that they're trying to put out there is the agenda for the religious left, who does not want to look at fundamental values. They want to look at extrapolated values.
PARSHALL: Mmm-hmm. Excellent point.

Green Bay Wraps Up Successful Horizon League Championship Meet
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
CLEVELAND (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay swimming and diving teams concluded their participation at the 2014 Horizon League Championships on Saturday, with the women's squad finishing third and the men's team placing fifth after four days of fierce competition at the Busbey Natatorium. Conference newcomer Oakland won both the men's and women's team titles.
The Phoenix squads combined to produce 15 top-eight finishers on the meet's final day, including another individual championship and school-record performance by junior breaststroker Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.).
After posting the second-fastest time in the prelims (1:59.62), Korslin raced to victory in the men's 200-yard breaststroke with a school-record time of 1:58.99. Both times broke Jason Askew's previous record of 2:00.64, set at the 2011 conference meet, and also achieved NCAA B-cuts.
Korslin finished his impressive stretch in Cleveland with two individual titles (100 breast, 200 breast), a relay win (200 medley relay) and four school records (100 breast, 200 breast, 200 medley relay, 400 medley relay) to his name.
Sophomores Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) and Colin Morgan (McFarland, Wis.) were also finalists in the 200 breast with Korslin, as Poelmans finished fifth in 2:01.77 and Morgan placed seventh in 2:02.30.
Junior Ben Loeffelholz (Dubuque, Iowa) was the final top-eight finisher for the Phoenix men on Saturday, placing eighth in the 100 freestyle (45.53).
The top performance of the day on the women's side came from sophomore Anna Gomez (Burlington, Wis.), who earned a runner-up finish in the 1650 freestyle. Gomez finished with a time of 17:03.64, finishing behind only Milwaukee's Natalie Johnson (16:45.92). Freshman Alyssa Udean (Lino Lakes, Minn.) was also a finalist in the mile, placing sixth in 17:23.67.
Green Bay had three finalists in the women's 200 backstroke, as Natalie Neuwirth (Stevens Point, Wis.), Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) and Kelsey Johnson (Brookfield, Wis.) each earned top-eight finishes. Neuwirth swam to a fourth-place showing in 2:02.89, Rottier finished one spot back in 2:03.50 and Johnson rounded out the A-final in 2:05.25.
The Phoenix women also had multiple finalists in both the 200 butterfly and the 3-meter diving competition. Freshmen Haley Lucas (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) and Udean placed fourth and fifth, respectively in the 200 fly, with Lucas finishing in 2:04.52 and Udean touching in at 2:04.97. Senior Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) capped off her final league meet with a sixth-place finish on the high board, posting a total score of 264.60, while freshman teammate Crystal Franzwa (Winona, Minn.) registered a 253.95 and finished eighth.
Senior Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) closed her standout Phoenix career with a pair of strong finishes on Saturday, first placing sixth in the 100 free (51.34) before helping her 400 free relay team to a fourth-place finish (3:27.37) in the meet's final event. Fellow senior Erin Cox (Berlin, Wis.) also posted a top-eight finish on Saturday, placing eighth in the 200 breast (2:23.60).

text: Another "what if" thread If Anjelika didn't have her back injury, do you think K&O would have continued to compete up through Salt Lake City? If so, how would they have fared against A&P? I like both teams, and IIRC, K&O won the 1999 World Title in a 5/4 split over A&P. Do you think K&O and A&P would have switched titles, with FP-M also in the mix, between 2000-2002, or do you think one team would have dominated over the other? Likewise, in this hypothetical scenario, how would K&O have fared against FP-M in 2001?

Sounds like fun, I'll be there.

Sounds like fun, I'll be there.
I traveled to the 2008 Convention in Louisville Kentucky...my first one. Decided to also go to the 2009 Convention in Phoenix. Had a really great time at both.
This one in Charlotte, thankfully, will be short driving distance for me. I will definitely be there.
Hi all,
With the NRA Member's Meeting & Convention right around the corner, thought I'd resurrect this message thread and see who was making it on over to Charlotte NC. Hadn't seen any recent postings on the subject and wondered if we could get a roster of Gunco members who are attending?
Myself, I'll be there every day from Friday until Sunday. Going to the Leadership Forum on Friday afternoon :
NRA 2010 Annual Meetings & Exhibits - Events
...and the Freedom Experience event on Saturday evening :
NRA 2010 Annual Meetings & Exhibits - Events
Outside of that, I'll be attending the industry exhibitors area and a couple of the seminars. Would be great to have Gunco Forum members arrange to have drinks and eats sometime during the weekend.
What say ye' ?
I need a when and where.
This is from the first link in the OP. Might want to confirm it though.
139th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits
Charlotte Convention Center • Charlotte, NC
May 14 - May 16, 2010
- Show Hours:May 14, 2010 (Friday)
May 15, 2010 (Saturday)
May 16, 2010 (Sunday)9:00am - 6:00pm
9:00am - 6:00pm
10:00am - 5:00pm
Complete information available through this website :
NRA 2010 Annual Meetings & Exhibits - Home
I'm open to suggestions...we could pick a vendor in the exhibitor area, or meet at the NRA Booth in the exhibitor area.
I'm pretty flexible on the time, other than 11:30am - 4:30pm on Friday, when that timeframe will be budgetted to the Leadership Forum event, and 7:30pm on for Saturday evening, as I'll be at the Freedom Experience event.
I'm in Seating Level - B (or "Red" level) at both of those events.
I believe "Chief" and "Winn" from Gunco Forum were planning to go as well? Haven't seen any confirmation from them yet.
Any others from Gunco Forum just want to meet up and say hello, feel free to do so.
Renegadebuck, I'll send you a PM...

Greek fest
Portsmouth Greek festival combines tradition, celebration
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent | July 14. 2013 9:21PM
Matoula Miminous, center, has been preparing traditional Greek dishes for the annual St. Nicholas Greek Festival in Portsmouth for many years. This year, she took the baking to the church kitchen to begin passing on recipes, traditions and tips to the next generation of women. (COURTESY)
Richard Rizza, treasurer of the Greek Orthodox church, said this year it has been interesting to watch as one generation passes on the recipes and traditions of the dishes to another."This year especially one of the older women in our parish has been teaching all the younger women all the recipes for a lot of the things she has done by herself in the past," Rizza said.He said the younger women have been busy taking notes so they can carry the traditions forward, not that "Matoula" as the older woman is known, is going anywhere anytime soon, he said.
Over 1,000 pieces of spanakopita are prepared as well as trays and trays of other dishes, enough for 300 to 400 orders each.
"It's an easy culture to get involved with so we enjoy it. We love our church and it is one of our major fundraisers, so we do it every year and that's how I get involved," Rizza said. "We're tired Sunday night but it's a lot of fun."
The festival also features a traditional "Bacaliko," or Greek market, with Greek cooking ingredients, cookbooks, icons, jewelry and other Greek goodies.
"We are really just part of the community and part of the celebrations that go on in the Portsmouth area in the summer," Rizza said. We are one of those events, if we don't have it … we get a lot of 'you are not having your festival this year?' It is just one of those events that happen in Portsmouth every year and they expect it and we enjoy it."
Voluntary admission is $3. A full schedule, menu (food is available for dine-in and take-out) and more information is available at www.portsmouthgreekfestival.com.

Notable Oregonians: James Beard - Food Expert, Writer
James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland's Customs House. As a child, Beard spent his summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish, picking wild berries, and cooking meals with what he collected. In 1923, after studying briefly at Reed College, Beard went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years, studying voice and theater, before returning to the U.S. for good in 1927. Although he continued his attempts to break into show business, by 1935 he needed to supplement his meager income by starting a catering business.
Beard quickly revolutionized what then passed for cocktail food by offering more substantial fare. With the opening of a small food shop called Hors d'Oeuvre Inc. in 1937, he decided that his future lay in the world of food and cooking. In 1940 he published the first major cookbook devoted to cocktail food, Hors D'Oeuvres & Canapés, and followed up with Cooking It Outdoors, the first serious work on outdoor cooking. During World War II, Beard spent most of his time with the United Seamen's Service where he helped to set up sailors' canteens in Puerto Rico, Rio de Janeiro, Marseilles, and Panama. Upon returning to New York in 1945, he immersed himself in the culinary community.
Between 1945 and 1955, Beard published seven books. He also appeared in his own segment on television's first cooking show on NBC in 1946, following that with many other spots on television and radio. Beard contributed articles to magazines including Gourmet and House & Garden, served as a consultant to many restaurateurs and food producers and ran his own restaurant on Nantucket in Massachusetts.
In 1955, he established The James Beard Cooking School. For the next 30 years Beard taught cooking, both at his own schools in New York and Seaside, Oregon, and around the country at women's clubs, other cooking schools, and civic groups. He was a tireless traveler, spreading everywhere his message of good food, honestly prepared with fresh, wholesome, American ingredients. Beard also continued to write cookbooks, many of which became classics. Among the titles: The James Beard Cookbook (1959), Beard on Bread (1973), James Beard's Theory & Practice of Good Cooking (1977) and The New James Beard (1981).
Often hailed as "The Father of American Cooking," Beard was the champion and the embodiment of American food. From his best-selling books to his pioneering work in television to his famous cooking school, Beard's efforts provided a strong foundation for a country just becoming aware of its own culinary heritage. When he died in 1985, aged 81, he left a legacy of excellence and integrity to generations of home cooks and professional chefs.

WebSphere charges into the clouds
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing websphere 3,865 Views
Alas, the wait is over! WebSphere is jumping head first into the cloud computing fray. The announcement today of two new offerings means that companies will be able to build and benefit from private WebSphere clouds. In addition, to these new offerings, IBM also announced two more WebSphere products headed to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud.
To start, the new WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition is a virtualized packaging of the popular WebSphere Application Server platform. The virtual image includes a Linux operating system, WebSphere Application Server, and IBM HTTP Server all pre-installed and packaged according to the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). There are six different WebSphere Application Server profiles pre-configured on the image, which allow the virtual image to take many different forms when deployed to a hypervisor. The image supports unattended activation, meaning the virtual image can be deployed to a hypervisor and configured with activation scripts. This feature allows the deployment process to be fully automated. WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition allows users to reap the benefits from virtualization and realize a higher level of business agility with their WebSphere Application Server environments due to the radical ease of deployment.
In addition to WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition, IBM announced the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance is a secure hardware appliance that allows users to construct, store, deploy, and maintain private WebSphere cloud environments. WebSphere CloudBurst delivers WebSphere Application Server configurations including the operating system, which are optimized for virtual environments. These configurations, or patterns as they are called by WebSphere CloudBurst, can be customized by users to build WebSphere Application Server configurations that include the operating system, middleware, and user applications. WebSphere CloudBurst allows users to deploy these patterns to their private cloud, and it provides maintenance and administration capabilities for the deployed virtual systems. In short, WebSphere CloudBurst provides capabilities to manage the entire lifecycle of private WebSphere cloud environments.
The announcement wasn't all about private clouds. IBM also announced its intention to make the WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere eXtreme Scale offerings available as Amazon Machine Images. These AMIs will allow users to utilize both the WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere eXtreme Scale on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
It's clearly an exciting and innovative time for cloud computing in WebSphere.

Open standards for the cloud
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing open_standards 3,464 Views
I recently read the Open Cloud Standards incubator charter proposed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), and I think this is a great effort to propel the cloud computing effort forward (read the charter here). In the interest of disclosure, I'm not just saying this because I happen to be employed by one of the supporters of the movement. It's time to acknowledge that open standards are not an inhibitor to innovation, but instead they facilitate the kind of technological adoption that makes innovation both possible and profitable.
The incubator charter sets its eyes on standards around cloud resource management. Its main focus will concern the management of cloud computing elements that make up the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer, but it will also discuss some elements of the Platform as a Service (PaaS) layer. The charter lists among its deliverables a cloud taxonomy, cloud interoperability white paper, informational specifications, and security requirements for cloud resource management. The hope is that such standards would increase cloud interoperability, mitigate the potential for vendor lock-in, and guide companies who already deliver resource management products and are looking to extend such capabilities to cloud resource management.
In particular, there are a couple of deliverables that sound interesting. The first, a cloud taxonomy including terms and definitions, is a necessary step to move forward any cloud computing standardization efforts. There is too much disagreement among the cloud industry at large as to exactly what defines and makes up cloud computing. While healthy discussion and debate on this subject are good, it is time to agree on a standard definition that all can at least accept. Without a common, acceptable definition, standards movements will be crippled since it's hard to govern something we cannot define.
The charter also proposes information specifications that would define profiles for the management of resources within a cloud computing environment. If these types of management standards were produced and subsequently adopted by a multitude of cloud providers, consumers could define a common cloud interaction layer and freely switch in and out the provider. In addition to these new specifications, updates to existing standards in DMTF are among the deliverables. The existing specification that is explicitly called out in the charter is the OVF packaging standard. I can only hope this means a standard packaging for virtual images deployed in a cloud environment. If that is indeed the goal, by combining a common cloud management mechanism with a common cloud packaging strategy, consumers would be provided the ultimate choice among cloud providers. They could package and deploy services meant to run in the cloud in such a way that the task would be repeatable across any cloud provider adopting the DMTF's standards. In addition, the mention of updating existing specifications sends a clear message that cloud computing standardization efforts must not duplicate existing standards work. Instead, new specifications are introduced where necessary, and existing specifications are updated to accommodate this new computing paradigm.
I'm excited about the incubator charter announced by DMTF. I'm sure this is just the beginning in what will be a long journey of providing for an open cloud, but it is a necessary first step. I for one don't buy the argument that open standards stifle innovation. Instead, I believe open standards increase technological adoption, and more consumers mean more opportunities, and demand, to distinguish offerings by creative innovation. What do you think about cloud computing standards? Let us know below, or send us an email.

Service Elasticity
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing soa 3,739 Views
Many enterprise IT decision makers are probably currently, or will be shortly, contemplating some type of cloud computing solution that promises to deliver benefits to their operation. After all, cloud computing solutions, when utilized prudently, are hard to resist. As these decision makers prepare to weigh the pros and cons of such solutions, there is one consideration that is perhaps more important than all others: Will this solution enable elasticity among my services and applications?
Hopefully the answer to the above question is a confident 'Yes'. A lot of discussion is given to providing virtualized, dynamically scaled resources such as servers, processors, operating systems, etc. and rightfully so. By optimizing the usage and consumption of these infrastructure resources, IT operations can be significantly enhanced. However, these resources are often times just a mean to an end, that end being service delivery. IT provides services and applications to end-users that are critical in terms of revenue generation or optimal business activity. These are the resources that most need elastic capabilites to ensure that end-users are continually provided responsive service. Cloud computing solutions need to address this capability by providing the means to package services in manageable units and deliver the ability to govern the scale of these units in an autonomic fashion.
Note, that in the question above I used the word enable. This was deliberate since it is hard to comprehend how any cloud computing solution could provide "out-of-the-box" service elasticity. The implementation of a SOA architecture becomes a necessary partner to achieving true service elasticity. Services must be developed in such a way that they are loosely coupled from other services and required components such as databases. Otherwise, the ability of one service to dynamically scale may be implicitly connected to another service's ability to achieve such elasticity. In this type of intertwined architecture, maximum elasticity will never be achieved.
What do you think about the current cloud landscape? Is there enough focus on service elasticity, and is service elasticity even the most valuable aspect of cloud computing? Leave a comment below, or reply to us on Twitter @WebSphereClouds.

Cloning, virtualization and Cloud computing
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing enterprise governance computing software innovation cloud soa 5,281 Views
Can you have cloud computing without virtualization? I don't think so. Some have stated to me that they believe a cloud could b contrived without virtualization but I don't see it. Cloud computing is all about being able to expand or contract an enterprise on demand and as a service. Without deployable virtual images there is no mechanism for doing this efficiently.
I suppose that you could argue that clouds do not necessarily include the OS or the hardware and that you could scale by use of templates and configuration files to clone systems. That is cloning. Cloning, spawning, parallel processing and other mechanisms for creating capacity and processing power dont have the scope that a full cloud implementation has. Cloud computing is an administration paradigm that may share or even employ some or all of these other techniques but can include more.
I guess the biggest thing that sets cloud computing apart from cloining or spawning is that cloud computing is a paradigm for a flexible distributed computing platform. Cloning and spawing are techniques as is Virtualization.Clouds are entire managed infrastructures where virtulized systems are simply tools and cloning is a function of products.

Enhancing Development & Test
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing development 3,364 Views
Much of the focus on cloud computing to date revolves around the ways in which cloud computing delivers significant administrative and operational benefits. After all, the more dynamic, autonomic capabilities promised by cloud could go a long way in relieving some of the burden in managing large, complex IT infrastructure operations. Sometimes lost in the cloud computing benefits discussion is how cloud computing enhances development and test groups in an enterprise. I can think of five different ways in which cloud computing strengthens development and test groups:
1) Self-service capability: A defining characteristic of cloud computing solutions is a self-service capability that allows users to commission and decommission computing resources as appropriate. In development and test shops, this means users can directly procure the resources they need to complete their tasks without going through lengthy, manually-driven procurement chains. This results in a significantly shortened procurement period, and it means developers and testers can quickly get to the task at hand.
2) Resource availability: Resource sprawl within IT shops, a very common occurrence, leads to resource deficiencies that are sometimes a problem for enterprise developers and testers. Tasks like testing massive configurations and performing intensive load tests become increasingly difficult as it is hard to harness enough resources to get the job done. Cloud computing, through intelligent virtualization, usage tracking, and more, enables this scattered resource pool to be viewed and utilized as a single logical entity. Resources can be doled out as needed, and intense tasks become achievable without extensive setup or procurement periods.
3) Environmental fidelity: From the time a software application or service leaves a developer's hands to the time it reaches production, quite a few things about its environment may be changed, often times unbeknownst to the developer. The test and operation teams may have different conventions and configurations than development teams, and this can lead to unintended application behavior and delays in service delivery. Cloud computing offers a potential solution to this problem in the form of the increasingly popular templatized solution stack. These solution stacks are pre-built, ready to deploy configurations, which include the application and entire environment down to the operating system. This stack can be captured as some sort of image (i.e. OVF image, Amazon Machine Image, etc.), and passed off between each team along the delivery cycle. Teams downstream from development see the exact environment in which the application was designed and unit tested, and they can balance needed changes to that environment against a known, working solution.
4) Hosted tools: Though possibly not yet standard operating procedure, one can look at the wave of SaaS offerings and make a reasonable assumption that more and more development and test tools will be moving in that direction as well. Why not? Putting aside the technical challenges of hosting something like a code editor on a network, the benefits of centrally hosting these types of tools are clear. Developers and testers no longer have to worry with installing, configuring, running, or maintaining these enabling tools on their own machines. Instead, they can log into the tools from any machine with a network connection and get work done.
5) Increased focus: This benefit is a culmination of all of the above benefits. By easing the process to acquire resources, making more resources available, ensuring configuration integrity, and removing the burden of maintaining tools, developers and testers are left to focus on their core jobs. The operational and administrative portions of their job are significantly reduced through cloud computing solutions. As a result, organizations are in a position to benefit from more developer innovation, increased test quality and coverage, and more.
The above five ideas illustrate that cloud computing can indeed enhance development and test efforts just as they boost administrative and operational tasks. Development and test teams that understand the benefits they can derive from cloud computing are likely to be proactive in advocating its use. For the cloud computing industry, increasing adoption by development and test groups could lead to widespread grassroots movements that further spread the use of cloud computing throughout enterprises.

Value with IBM Amazon Machine Images
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  amazon_machine_image db2 ec2 cloud_computing websphere_smash 4,183 Views
About two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with the WebSphere sMash, DB2, and Rational teams on a pretty exciting project. It started during a meeting with the sMash team in which they decided to build a sample application to demonstrate at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco last week. Given the lead team the first thought was to simply show off the application at various IBM expo booths. However, we quickly decided the best way to show off the coolness of sMash was to put it in the hands of users. This led us down a path that would include Rational EGL capabilities, the WebSphere sMash Amazon Machine Image (AMI), and the DB2 AMI.
In a little over a week, we delivered a meaningful Web 2.0 application and put it in the hands of conference attendees. Using WebSphere sMash, we produced services that allowed users to view and search for booths at the conference. Each booth at the conference started with a list of keyword tags, and users could add more tags to let other users know what to expect at the booth. We also delivered a Buzz feature that displayed an aggregated feed from both Twitter and Flickr containing entries about the Web 2.0 Expo.
The Rational team, which was already working on an EGL application that would run on attendee handhelds, leveraged the services from our new sMash application, being hosted on the Amazon EC2 infrastructure, to add to their capabilities. Our decision to host the sMash application on EC2 was driven by two factors. The first was that we had virtually no time to go through the in-house server acquisition process. Second, given sMash's capabilities to export and import applications, we were easily able to transfer our local application copy to the AMI instance with no code change. Once the application was imported into the running AMI instance, we changed a single configuration file to reference our newly running DB2 AMI instance which stored the booth data for the expo.
I just thought I'd share this example to highlight a couple of cool technologies, Rational EGL and WebSphere sMash, and to illustrate a scenario in which the IBM Amazon Machine Images deliver value. If you have any questions or want to see some of the application code, send us an email. Here's a couple of screen shots of the application:

Cutting through the smoke
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  enterprise cloud computing innovation soa cloud_computing sofware governance 4,266 Views
Dustin and I have been seeingweb sites pop up all over the place with the word 'Cloud' in the name.Everything from web based remote PC services to elastic Web Mail.
I remember in 2000when Business to Business Integration (B2Bi) was the big market buzzword. Every company in the industry was claiming to be "The B2Bicompany". B2Bi was and is not an easy task. Everyone uses and storesdata differently; sometimes even within the same company. So whathappened? Most companies could not deliver products that made the jobeasier in a more generic way and it fell to services based companies.The expense soared and the results were generally poor. XML was justgaining prominence and few "B2Bi companies" ever even heard of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange. It was how businesses shared data before the internet became so capable). Thenet result ended up being that to succeed these providers had to scaleback their claims and muddy the definition of B2Bi. Now you hardly everhear it. The need still exists and the market is robust but the buzzword faded from the lexicon.
Cloud Computing is a powerful concept and the term can encompass many different implementations that achieve Dynamic Infrastructure, On Demand Capacity and Virtualized Enterprises. However, tagging glorified remote desktops and pay-for-GB mail boxes as cloud computing will do nothing but obscure the definition, allow charlatans to deliver poor or incomplete solutions and make it more difficult to convey the value of products and services that support true clouds.
Real cloud providers should be diligent in detailing their services and the value they provide. If the smoke is cleared, the view of the clouds will remain breathtaking.

By Rob Kelly
Laurent Koscielny says he will emerge from this season as a much more mature footballer.
The France international has been one of Arsenal's most consistent performers in an up-and-down campaign that at one stage saw the Club as low as 17th in the table.
Arsène Wenger's side can now secure third place with a victory at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, and Koscielny says the nature of the campaign has forged a sense of unity among the players.
"If we had a nightmarish start to the season, it is because we deserved to have it. But, frankly, I'll come out of this season a more mature footballer," he told France Football.
"Everybody thought us dead and buried, but we stuck together, the players, the Club, the staff, we fought together. The season I've gone through has been tough, but full of emotion.
"Tottenham at home... there was pressure on us, we were five points behind Chelsea, everybody was saying, 'Champions League? It's over, Tottenham will win'... and we put five goals past them, and went on a seven-game winning run.
"We might not have dominated every single game, but, mentally, we had something extra. At Liverpool, for example, we always believed, and Robin gave us victory at the very end."
Koscielny is confident Arsenal can compete for the title next season, but insists he is fully focused on beating West Brom first.
"I'm not thinking about that yet," he said. "The most important thing is to get that third place.
"Then - if we keep our key players, if we bring in players who can bring something extra, if we make a good start in the league, then, yes, we'll be contenders for the title."

Green Bay Rolls Past Bradley, Falls Narrowly at Wisconsin
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
PEORIA, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's tennis team split a pair of road matches over the weekend, first rolling past Bradley (6-6) 4-0 on Friday, and then dropping a tough 4-3 decision at No. 70 Wisconsin (8-2) on Saturday. The Phoenix record moves to 8-5 on the year with the split.
Sophomore Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) went 2-0 at the top singles spot for Green Bay, beating Bradley's Hamish Weerasinghe 6-1, 6-1 before downing Wisconsin's Billy Bertha 6-3, 6-1 the following day. Tenzer also teamed up with freshman Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) for a pair of doubles wins. The duo earned an exciting 9-8 (10) victory at No. 3 to secure the doubles point against Bradley, and then grabbed an 8-5 win on Saturday against the Badgers' tandem of Jakhongir Jalalov and Oskar Wikberg.
Also earning singles wins in the sweep of Bradley were Craig Cox (Surrey, England) at No. 3 and Rowan Isaaks (London, England) at No. 6. Cox and Erik Finkenbrink (Duelmen, Germany) added singles victories against Wisconsin, but the Badgers took three singles matches of their own and grabbed the doubles point for the 4-3 win.
Green Bay next heads south for a trio of spring break matches in Florida. The Phoenix first faces Kennesaw State in DeLand, Fla., on Sunday, March 17, then heads to Boca Raton for a meeting with Florida Atlantic the following day. Green Bay finally wraps up the trip on March 20 against No. 72 Stetson back in DeLand.

Wow! I've had my 3 year olds helping with my bees, but beekeeping at a year old! That's precocious !! :-DWelcome and best wishes on your new venture. I'm lazy and cheap, so avoid the chemicals and such when possible, but use what I need to when I need to.I agree on the confusion - the first few years my mind was constantly spinning with ideas and ideals, and since then have settled down on what works for me. The forums always make it worse because there are so many ways of doing things, and they're all right or all wrong depending on the perspective :shock: :-D.Rick
Started in 2006 with 1 hive and now have 6. Just a hobby for me, I just truly love taking care of them. Most years, I don't get much honey. I learned lots on this forum especially when I was having difficulty figuring out what I was doing wrong.I started beekeeping one way, and ended up doing things differently. More natural approach now, letting the bees draw out comb without foundation. No treatments and no supplemental feeding (except sugar syrup when I think they need it) Also doing all medium supers, no deeps.It has become much easier for me as the years have gone on. I even get help lifting the heavy supers now when I need to do inspections .Have met a few beekeepers in this area and we have become friends. Taught beekeeping to the 4H club of Placerville last year. Did a few presentations on beekeeping to school kids. Very busy this year catching swarms. You will learn a lot here. Also you will probably get confused a lot of the time with all the different opinions. Goes with the territory :-DKeep in touchAnnette

Accused Ogden Cop Killer Hangs Himself in Jail
The Ogden man -- accused of killing a narcotics police officer, and wounding five others -- was found dead, hanging from a bedsheet, early Friday morning.
The body of Matthew David Stewart was discovered -- in his Weber County Jail cell -- just an hour after jail personnel had observed him, alive and well, during their routine bed check.
Stewart had faced the possibility of a death sentence, for the January 2012 shooting death of Jared Francom. He was killed -- and the other officers wounded -- as the served a narcotics search warrant at Stewart's Ogden home.
The State Department of Public Safety will now investigate the suicide.

In the event of some SHTF situation, I think strength in numbers would most certainly be a huge asset to those that have it. I am not talking a TEOTWAWKI event but the strength in numbers could be just as important then, but I don't want to argue that point.
I'm curious how many of you have a strong network of like minded friends, family, and neighbors? Chris Duane suggests investing in Real Friends, Real Assets, and Real Skills. While a basic concept, it has me thinking about the concept a lot.
We are friendly with all our neighbors, we know them all enough that we would feel confident about approaching any or helping any. However I think only one or two have any thoughts toward prepping. I do not have anything like a Prepper Group that I hear some talk about. I'm trying to turn my family members more onto prepping for their own benefit. The long and the short of it I feel I need to concentrate more on building up real friends, particularly those with the same mindset.
How do you folks find yourself? Want to isolate or build up strong nearby ties? How are you doing with this goal?

The World's Best Ecotourism Destinations
As ecotourism garners interest among a growing number of travelers, eco resorts have popped up everywhere, from Florida to Fiji. In fact, the ecotourism industry is growing so quickly that it would be nearly impossible to map which countries have become the greatest eco-destinations, especially when the terms "eco" and "green" are thrown around so readily that it can be hard to tell what is genuine and what is simply a marketing ploy. Ecotourism at its heart not only preserves natural habitats and indigenous cultures and species, but actually works in favor of conservation by bringing additional resources that the local economy would otherwise not have, so the applications of the term can be quite different, which makes ranking such locations even more difficult—if not impossible.
Instead of ranking these destinations, NuWire decided to recognize five countries whose efforts in particular realms of ecotourism have gone above and beyond the norm.
Costa Rica: Preserving biodiversity
Perhaps no other country has embraced ecotourism the way that Costa Rica has. While many nearby countries are hoping that industrialization will spur their economies, Costa Rica is managing responsible growth by protecting its environment and its remarkable biodiversity.
Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on earth. "Costa Rica is the most biodiverse country on Earth," said Glenn Jampol, who owns two hotels in Costa Rica and serves as president of the Costa Rican chapter of the National Association of Ecotourism (CANAECO) and on the board of "directors for the International Ecotourism Society (TIES). "[It has] more than 6 percent of all species known to exist within its borders."
The country has 527 endangered plant species and 57 animal species that are critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable to becoming endangered, including turtles, manatees, toucans, jaguars, primates and sea otters. Fortunately, Costa Rica has established 24 national parks, which span over 21 percent of the country's land, to protect these species from possible extinction. Visitors can get up close and personal with many of these species while exploring the country's national parks, rain forests, beaches and volcanoes.
Costa Rica's reputation as one of the most biologically diverse countries has not only spurred ecotourism, but has also united the country's government, native communities and private sectors. The popularity of Costa Rica's natural habitats led to the expansion of protected areas, where logging, poaching and some agricultural activities are now prohibited.
Kenya: Creating alternative fuels
Kenya's efforts to promote clean energy and sustainability have surpassed those of much larger, wealthier countries. Its ecotourism industry is composed mostly of smaller camps and lodges, many of which have turned to wind and so...

Top 5 Up-and-Coming Ecotourism Destinations
More and more countries are choosing ecotourism as part of their overall economic strategy to tap into the expanding market of a new breed of travelers. These tourists look to eschew the ethical issues related to mainstream travel. They want the environment preserved and local communities to benefit.
While countries such as Costa Rica have successfully marketed themselves as eco-friendly destinations, others are barely noticed. To make it onto our list of the top five up-and-coming ecotourism locations, not only did a destination have to have the natural goods, but it also needed to be relatively unknown. The list is geographically diverse, with topographies ranging from some of the highest untouched mountains in the world to unspoiled desert wonderlands.
1. Gabon
The West African country of Gabon, the 2008 set of the CBS TV show Survivor, gained its independence from France almost 50 years ago, and has since then only been ruled by two presidents. Bordered by Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and the Republic of Congo, the country enjoys a pristine 550-mile Atlantic coastline. The country, roughly the size of Colorado, has only about 1.5 million inhabitants.
Gabon is home to big game, including elephants and gorillas, as well as 680 bird species With an average population density of four people per square kilometer, the African country of Gabon has 80 percent tree cover and an unspoiled environment that is hard to come by on the continent, according to Ecotourism Gabon. Those looking for big game will not be disappointed. Elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees and humpback whales abound. Bird watchers can spend their time trying to spot some of the 680 types of birds that call the country their home. Orchid lovers can revel in discovering the estimated 320 kinds that grow in the nation.
Worried about the depletion of its oil wealth, President Omar Bongo decided in 2002 to convert roughly 11,000 square miles of the country--around 10 percent of the country--into a dozen national parks in an effort to diversify the nation's economy. With the current season of Survivor well underway, the nation's tourism officials hope it will bring much deserved attention to the relatively unknown Gabon, according to MSNBC.
2. Laos
The landlocked country of Laos is squeezed between Burma, Cambodia , China , Thailand and Vietnam. It has officially adopted ecotourism as one of its economic strategies and is eager to grow and become recognized as a destination. The national tourism administration aims to make Laos "a world renowned destination specializing in forms of sustainable tourism," according to the Ecotourism Laos website. However, overshadowed by regional travel blockbusters such as Thailand and Vietnam, Laos is often dubbed the "forgotten" Asia and remains untouched by mass-tourism.
That said, it has a lot to offer to hardy travelers ...

Tulum Offers Jungle Ecotourism And Top Rated Beaches
Jungle home lots in Tulum, Mexico are available at competitive prices, and can come with acres of space minutes from the beach. The rich ecotourism and top rated beaches are part of the appeal of this emerging hot spot. See the following article from International Living for more on this.
Tulum is famous for its beaches. With good cause. They are the finest in Mexico and among the best in the world.
However, Tulum isn't only about the beach. A couple of clicks inland you find enchanting untouched jungle. Home to thousands of species of birds, butterflies, monkeys and colorful flowers. The jungle floor is dotted with natural wells, large limestone boulders, and jagged outcrops.
Very different to the beach…but like her powder-white sands, you find yourself under this jungle's spell.
On a recent trip I visited the jungle home of a friend close to Tulum. His house is within a small private subdivision of 20 homes. Large lots with thick vegetation ensure privacy. At night clever lighting of rock formations turns the gardens into a wonderland. Each room in the single story house opens onto a private jungle garden. Flowing water is a feature everywhere. You would know the owner spent time in Asia!
There's nothing "Tarzan�? abut these jungle homes. These are stylish and modern. This home would look in place as a feature in a glossy magazine. The concept is proving popular with wealthy Mexicans in the area. Now North Americans are catching on.
Close by I visited the jungle home under construction owned by an American. Again, this home is in a private subdivision. At 5 acres the lots here are big. Also, completely untouched—giving you a blank canvas. This community is different to my Mexican friend's.
Off grid, the concept and delivery of the project is about as "eco�? as it gets. With more lots, this project will include social focal points like a clubhouse, outdoor theater, and entertainment area.
The center piece of this home is the open plan living, cooking, and dining area upstairs. The functional stuff is all downstairs. Upstairs is for gathering the family and enjoying the views. Perched right at the top of the tree line, fresh breezes keep temperatures comfortable in both indoor and outdoor areas. The views across the canopy are awesome. Bright colored birds call out and come to visit. The build quality is top class. The price for this type of finish is about $80 per square foot.
In the "back yard,�? he has taken advantage of a little cave to create a natural amphitheater. This is where he will gather with friends, family and a couple of guitars. A small swimming pool is surrounded by rocky outcrops. Lighting will create a dramatic effect at night. The rock formations and the vegetation do the design work for you. Nature has been working on this design for a lot longer than we have been around.
This jungle home with its own natur...

Students at this school are making less academic progress given where they were last year, compared to other students in the state.
Depending on the school's test scores, student progress (also known as student growth) means different things.
Low progress with low test scores means... that students are starting at a low point and falling farther behind their peers.
Low progress with high test scores means... students have strong academic skills but that the school is not contributing to student learning as much as many schools in the state.
Parent tip
Ask the school how it interprets this rating and how it might use this information to improve its programs.

Local and Organic in Up-State NY (March green-biz interview)
For Erick Smith and Cayuga Pure Organics, it's important for food to be BOTH organic AND local. Smith points out that while organic products have many pluses for your health and for the environment, most of the organic dry beans in the US were actually grown in China, and incorporate a huge carbon footprint.
"Ultimately it is up to consumer to be as sure as possible that they know the connection between the farm and the organic label on the food they buy," says Smith, whose farm in upstate New York supplies organic beans and grains to the New England area and elsewhere, via online sales.
We asked Erick to tell us more about his increasing use of renewable energy, the goal of getting more young people invested in local agriculture, and how a commitment to keep GMOs out of his food supply creates a packaging conundrum…
Green America: What does your business do and what are your most popular products?
Erick Smith: Cayuga Pure Organics (CPO) is an organic grain and dry bean farm located in central NY. We are also partners in Farmer Ground Flour, the only 100-percent local and organic mill in upstate New York established specifically to grind organic grains from local farms. We market our beans, grains, and flour throughout New York, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern New England, and we also sell both beans and flours online. Our single largest-selling item is black beans, but some of our customer favorites are our heirloom beans (particularly yellow eye and Jacob's Cattle), our heritage grains (particularly freekeh and emmer farro), and our polenta.
What makes Cayuga Pure Organics a sustainable, green business?
Erick: We would like to think of ourselves as a sustainable business, but realize that in reality all we can do is to do whatever we can to move towards being sustainable. In addition to farming organically, which includes focusing on building soil quality through crop rotation and residue management, eliminating all synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other petroleum-based environmental poisons, and eliminating all inputs (including packaging, seed, etc) that may be genetically modified. Although we are still dependent on petroleum fuel, we are now using B-10 and increase the percentage of biodiesel each year.
We use recyclable or compostable packaging to the extent possible and focus on bulk sales through farmer's markets and food coops that reduce packaging needs. Nearly all regular employees are paid at a rate that exceeds the local living wage. The exceptions are part-time and temporary employees, though side benefits such as supplying food raised on the farm nearly make up for this. All regular employees are on flex-time with responsibilities that involve completing the work that needs to be done rather than putting in specific hours.
Our mission is to grow a variety of crops using sustainable practices that meet or exceed USDA organic standards; to provide local sources of basic, healthy food; to enhance the vitality of our local community; to minimize the use of non-renewable resources in our work; and to attract young people to sustainable, commercial-scale food production.
What motivated you to start Cayuga Pure Organics?
Disker ready to prep
fields for bean planting.
Erick: In my life I have alternated between teaching and farming. I have been interested in organic farming since the 1970s and followed many organic practices through the 70s and 80s. After teaching full-time in the 1990s, I realized that my heart was not only in farming, but in doing whatever I could to make our environment safe and sustainable. That combined with a relative diagnosed with cancer in the late 1990s whose cause was attributed to exposure to herbicides, convinced me of the need to be completely organic.
We started in 2003 as a small organic grain farm supplying feed to organic dairy farms. However, with a growing interest in being part of the local food movement, we began growing dry beans and food-quality grains in 2005. We partnered with another organic farmer to start the flour mill in 2008 and started marketing at Greenmarkets in NYC in 2009. It has been both very challenging and very satisfying to see our business develop into a farm focused on beans, grains and flour – with all the challenges involved in creating high-quality food-grade products while maintaining our own standards for quality and sustainability.
What have been some of the biggest challenges of maintaining high standards of social and environmental responsibility?
Erick: Although we face many challenges, the biggest single challenge is to reduce our reliance on petroleum fuels. Because we grow crops that cannot be planted and harvested efficiently without the use of diesel-powered equipment, we need an alternative fuel source. As it become available, we would move towards more bio-diesel, but there are two factors working against this move:
For one thing, we operate on a very thin to non-existent profit margin and need to be very careful about making rapid changes that could have unexpected consequences.
And secondly, we operate almost completely with older equipment, most dating in the 1970s and 80s. There are potential problems with using biodiesel in these older engines, though nobody seems to be able to provide a clear answer about what level is safe. Several years ago we experimented with using straight vegetable oil mixed with diesel fuel. That did not work out and was an expensive error. There is much to be learned about how to use these bio-fuels safely in older equipment and we have neither the resources nor the expertise to do this research. So we are gradually increasing the percent of biodiesel and hoping that we will notice any potential problems before they become real problem. (interview continues below photo)
What has been your proudest moment as a green business owner?
Erick: Dry beans and whole grains are not what most people think of as jazzy or exciting foods, so it has been incredibly rewarding to see the acceptance we have received in New York City, and the real excitement that exists both for our products and for what we are trying to do. I consider it a true privilege to be able to play such a role in the effort to rebuild the food system sustainably and humanely.
It has been very satisfying to see the "local" movement become broadly accepted and institutionalized – meaning, hopefully, that broad public support is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
At the same time it is disheartening to see how corporate entry into the organic world has undermined, in the minds of many, the value of being/buying organic. Because a few large companies try to skirt the rules or even to distort them, people have recently tended to be more skeptical about organic. Recent polls have shown that more people think that foods labeled "natural" or foods labeled "kosher" are better than organic foods. Despite all the problems that exist enforcing real organic standards, at least there are standards that relate directly to environmental and nutritional issues. Since there are absolutely no standards for using "natural" and since the standards for kosher, though related to food safety, have no direct connection to either environmental or nutritional issues, these terms really have almost no connection to sustainable production or the quality of food. For example genetically modified crops are permissible in kosher products as are pesticides (and, of course, there are no rules at all regarding "natural").
What is the next green step you're working on right now?
The "beanery" where CPO cleans all grains and beans.
Erick: We have grown so fast that our immediate goals involve improving efficiency and developing better systems for serving our customers. Neither of these goals seem very jazzy in terms of making those big green steps that are needed. But both are directly connected to being more green in more modest ways . Efficiency ultimately means less dependence on non-renewable energy sources and customer satisfaction is what makes any green business viable. We do have plans for expansion in the future as long as their are crops that can be grown locally that currently are sourced outside of our foodshed. However, first things first and for the time being we are focusing on the small steps.
What I would love to find as a next step — perhaps from another member of the Green Business Network™ — is a sustainable package for retailing our dry beans and grains. We feel that a small plastic window on the package is necessary as customers want to see what is in the bag. We currently use a small brown coffee bag with a window for holding 1 lb. of either beans of grains. We experimented with the plastics produced from corn but found them brittle without sufficient strength. Also, the corn used to produce this material is almost certainly GMO which means that it would not be allowed for our organically certified products in any case. If any one in the network has a potential solution, we would love to know about it!
What green product can you not live without?
Erick: With our orientation towards food, there are many categories where organic is essential to me: most fruit because of the heavy use of pesticides, poultry because of the heavy use of hormones and antibiotics, and dairy because of the growth hormones added. And of course any product made with nonorganic corn, soy, or canola almost certainly contains GMOs. They can be difficult to avoid.
Overall I always choose organic and local when I can. There are just too many unknowns in the industrial food supply to be able to put any trust in any of those products.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Still waiting to sell 2001 cab
I only got a decent size 1 car garage (LOL) and need to get rid of the 2001 Cab. I decided to not use the 2001 cab floor and firewall and will be mocking up new mounts any way i look at it so figured why do all that extra work. My 1968 cab is in good condition and the floor wont need replacment. I will be taking tons of pictures threw out this project and will be posting up as much info as possible once i dig into it again. It's hard to say any thing with the cab still sitting on it but i have started restoring the frame (to the metal) and did actually find a small amount of rust were the bed bolts onto the frame.
Next week i should be make the measurements for the 68 cab as far as were the front clip meets the cab, untill then.
hey guys hows it going. new to the forum here. @badd5tt6, can you post pictures of the newer rolling chassis you plan on mounting the old body to?
im very interested in this project because i plan on mounting my 69 c-10 on a 2011 2500 hd with the 6.6l duramax/allison 1000 powertrain.. just picked up my longhorn bedsides today to make the wheelbases match up on the old body.. now all i need is the 2011 chassis haha
I put a 53 Interenational pickup onto a 1980s frame some years back
and loved the final result.
Lots to consider. If I was you Id make a list of what you want.
Sounds to me you want an old appearing truck with todays comforts.
If thats the case strip the new truck down. Take the old cab and slip it over the newer frame. You maybe surprised how well it will fit with some mount ajustments. If that works just put all the works from the cab into the old cab.
As far as welding goes id use a mig with gas anyday (forget flux core wire feed mig as far as any stuctural stuff) Stick welding works good for stuctural if you cant afford a good mig with gas.
Theres lots for good people with good advice on this forum just keep asking questions Have fun..dont give up. Good luck
some thing to think about.
What would you say was the hardest part of your build?
My motor is huge!!!! and so is the Tranny... Was keeping the firewall because of this, and am reversing the dash as you stated you kept the older dash and i want the newer dash, and seats. want it newer on inside (gonna have to fab on the dash a bit).
Still waiting on a Plasma cutter..........
several years ago I put a 57 chev cab on a 72 chev 3/4 frame and found it best to just make new mounts on the frame to match the mounting locations on the body..We saved all the steering column, dash and floor pan from the 57 cab and then it was a matter of hooking up wiring and the steering, brakes and clutch and away we went..worked out well for the use we had in mind..gotta say as weel we also saved the radiator support and fenders as well..
Good idea
i was planning on this already but wasn't sure how much of it i would use.
I like the idea of being able to manipulate the floor. Originoly i was just gonna use the firewall and then the tranny tunnel as a bolt down peice for easy access down the road.
Would love to save the dash as well but dont wanna get to cocky. I suppose i should definetly keep the cab now (was tossing around the idea of selling it)
It will be a nice newer floor pan with bolt set up for newer seats as well so that is a plus as too.
Thanx for the insite.....
|Something you might consider when you do your body swap is to graft the floor pan of the newer truck into the cab of the older truck. The advantage is that you can leave all of the new truck body brackets on the new frame. It also gives you the option of getting some body drop (or raise) by changing the height where the new floor gets welded in relative to the old cab.
|Maybe he is talking about flux core wire as opposed to MIG
|Old Fool
Yes there is other applications of wire feed welding but I really doubt any hotrodders are using it.
Can you describe what method of welding it is that you refer to as wire? Thanks.
|against all odds
Ok, maybe it was just a bad experience with me(i didn't know what the heck i was doing). And, after more research it appears that wire can be good. Also, NHRA only accepts mig or tig on the cage, so i figured mig was higher quality.
But yeah wire is ok, i just prefer mig.
|Also found out that the Longhorn is the same length and has the same wheel base just dont know about the width of a Longhorn frame. Any body got any clue ? I'm guessing if there the same then i should be able to plop this swap right on top except for the firewall and tranny channel on the cab (gonna need those from the 2001 cab for my pedals and such) Should i just cut them out now ? or lighn stuff up first ?
Not sure why he doesn't like Mig but i have done some prity good trailers with my wirefeed and have put full ton trucks, vans, exc. on them with no issues at all and i am a newbie to welding. Of course trailers are a complete difrent story to fabbing motor mounts and making sure a frame is perfectly shortend and even those kinda things are what i'm not sure about as far as useing a wirefeed as opposed to stick. If filling in big gaps i could see were stick could be a better fit to push in more but as far as a good beed either will do the trick. I preffer wire because every thing is together and is less of a head ache plus i dont like having a tank of some thing that could blow my house up, lol. But that's just me, I'm sure Tig has it's benefits i just dont know enough about welding yet to say....
As far as my project goes it is still just sitting there right now with no body on it and in perfect running condition (wah, sad , boo, cry, ) I just need a few pointers.
|Old Fool
|against all odds
i don't know much about welding---and in fact can only stick weld in the 4 basic positions, but i don't like wire-feed. Probably because i had too many bad experiences with them. MIG is fine though. But just wire-feed i don't like. This is just my opinion; You should get more opinions from more experienced welders than me.

Body swap ?'s 67-72 Longhorn on 2001 Chevy 4x4
I am new to the hole body swap and welding area but have patience and time to get'r done. Do to having no second helper i am building a rolling jack out of wood 4x4's to lift the cab 1ft (or bed) over the frame.
My questions are
Do i just need to make new tabs for the bolts to line up and how buff do they need to be as i only have used a wirefeed. I have built car trailers with my wirefeed and all work great so i'm thinking wirefeed should be ok for this as well ?
My frame on my 2001 chevy 2500HD is 44inch wide, wheel base is 133inch. I have no clue yet on the width of a longhorn frame but am guessing i wont be as luck to get the frame, wheelbase and length of truck to all match up but two out of three isn't to bad. is the longhorn frame being narrow going to affect any thing else other than tabs for bolts the cab and bed on ?
I also wanted to use as much of the originol equipment as possible like the pedal (gas/brake) assembly, complete dash or custom all the dash parts with the longhorn dash like a/c, heater core, airbags, exc.. I am guessing i will need to make my own firewall but not really sure on how yet ???
I'm sure i will have more questions but this is probly enough for the moment, any help would be great, Thanx

Q&A with Coach Sean Kugler from C-USA Media Day
July 24, 2013
Talk about returning to El Paso.
El Paso is special to me having played there and coached there for eight years. We are doing our best to get ready and are looking forward to starting camp soon to get ready for the season.
Tell us about the new coaching staff.
On offense Patrick Higgins, he was the coordinator in 2000 when we won the WAC Championship and he has had an outstanding career. He has been to places like BYU, Purdue and La Tech. He has great knowledge of the game and is an outstanding teacher and competitor.
On the defensive side, Scott Stoker his defensive stats for Sam Houston the last few years and their success and having the chance to play in the championship game the last two years speaks highly of him. He plays a style of defense that I want to have at UTEP, which is an attacking defense that plays a lot of man coverage. He is a great teach and has done a great job at implementing that defense.
How do you avoid injuries?
There are some seasons you go through no injuries and other seasons that you have injuries. We aren't looking backwards, we are looking forward and even the guys that had injuries and missed spring due to surgeries those guys are on point and ready to go for camp. We are looking to stay healthy, you can't really avoid that at all cost, but we are going to practice safe and teach the right technique.
How do you feel about playing in the Sun Bowl?
I'm comfortable and very proud of our stadium and there are things in the works to improve it and again I think it's one of the best settings in college football. It's a beautiful place to play at and I'm very excited to coach there.
Has campus changed much since your return to El Paso?
Well the area around campus has changed dramatically since I left in 2000 and campus has tripled in size. The area around it restaurants and things to do, it's almost unrecognizable when I came back. The feedback that we have gotten from parents and recruits that have come out is great and they really love the area.
What do you think of the new conference?
All those programs really have outstanding coaches and it's pretty neat for us to have the chance to develop rivalries with Texas schools like UTSA, Rice, North Texas because we recruit those areas and even La Tech with it's proximity. Of course there are also some old ties to the old WAC conference. I'm excited about it but every team that I face this year is going to be a new team being a new head coach but we are looking forward to the challenge each week.
What kind of team do you want to be?
We certainly want to be a physical team and we don't want to just talk about it. We are going to approach it that way at practice and our off season conditioning are structured as such so we are hoping that physical play will improve and that will give us the best chance to win on Saturday's.

text: Sooooo, a year later, where are you guys with the Monroe/Cousins controversy. For all of you young pups who were not members of this forum for the last year, here's the skinny: 1) Before the 2010 NBA draft, most members of the forum wanted Pistons to draft Demarcus Cousins, (I know who you are if you want to vacillate a bit, lol) whereas, there was a chosen few of us who wanted Monroe. 2) Before the beginning of the 2010 season before Monroe even had a chance to touch the ball, you could hear in the distance the far cry of Cousins, Cousins, Cousins (sung in the same tune of Rocky, Rocky) 3) The few of us Pro-Monroe fans, tried to convince that he was indeed the real deal and he would be the Franchise player who the Pistons would build around for the remainder of his Pistons career. 4) I really tried to tell you guys that Cousins was a talented guy but simply had too many issues to overcome at this level and it would show on and possibly off the court. 5) By the end of the 2010 season, some folks came from the dark side to join the MONROVIANS, even though many still maintained their COUSINITES stand. 6) Here we go to the beginning of the shortened lock out 2011 season, some still wanted to pick up Cousins via trade i.e., some however no longer wanted to do this if it was at the expese of trading Monroe. 7) So here we go midway through the 2011 season, Monroe has turned into an absolute beast, how many doudble-double does the man have? The scary thing is he is exceeding my expectations that I had when he left Georgetown. Monroe will only get better and better and better. 8) I never doubted for a minute that Monroe would be a future all-star, hell Roscoe handed out discipline to me when I got into a forum war with the pro-Cousin folks, even though Roscoe was all in for the Pistons selecting Monroe, so was Cloud and others. 9) My question is: Do you now believe that MONROE is the REAL DEAL?
