Penguins coach Dan Bylsma receives three-year extension
The Pittsburgh Penguins began the season without Jordan Staal, and once he returned, they quickly lost Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
But they sit two points out of the Eastern Conference lead, and that's why the Penguins gave coach Dan Bylsma a three-year extension Wednesday.
"Dan has very quickly established himself as one of the best coaches in the National Hockey League," general manager Ray Shero said. "He has been a perfect fit for our organization since day one."
Bylsma (104-52-19) has the highest winning percentage (.649) of any coach in franchise history. He also is tied with Scotty Bowman for the team record in playoff victories (23) and playoff series wins (five).
Bylsma was named interim head coach of the Penguins on Feb. 15, 2009, with the team in 10th place in the conference and in danger of missing the playoffs altogether. They went 18-3-4 to rise to fourth in the conference standings, then won the franchise's first Stanley Cup title since 1992.
Last year, in his first full season behind the bench, the Penguins went 47-28-7 for 101 points but were knocked out in the second round in the playoffs.
This season, they are tied for the third-best record in the league, despite losing 256 man-games to injury.
"I think what we've been able to accomplish so far his season, even with players like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal out of the lineup for extended periods of time, is a testament to his coaching system, his adaptability and his composure under pressure," Shero said.

So every Christmas Eve since we've been together, the boy and I have crab cakes. We've also been eating Caesar salad as a side, but this year I think I'm over that. I'm kind of over Caesar salad in general, and I cant pinpoint as to why, but that's beside the point. I just don't want to eat it anymore. So I spent some time this week worrying about what side would be good enough for our crab cakes. The boy suggested frites but as we're having potatoes cooked in duck fat on Christmas Day, I wasn't keen on that idea either. The other night we were playing the Who Game and I paused the cartoon (you've got to be nuts to play the Who Game along to the movie version) in order to gleefully announce to the boy that I had it! I knew what we were going to eat with those crab cakes on Christmas Eve! And that would be frisée aux lardons. And then I remembered a story about one December 23rd when I was a kid and had frisée aux lardons for the first time. Although it's not really a story. It's just one of those memories I have and I'll open up that window for a bit to let you look at it.
When I was a little kid, we lived on Boulevard d'Argenson in the very upscale but extremely vanilla Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. The apartment had a tremendous amount of light and if you leaned out of the living room windows, you could see the top of the Arc de Triomphe. The elderly woman who lived in the apartment before us died in the living room. Why I remember that, I 've no idea. And what does that have to do with a salad? Nothing. Anyways.
I'm not quite sure how old I was, maybe 9? But it was December 23rd, and my mom's friend Odette came over with her son, who was a couple of years older than I was (and whose name escapes me at the moment). Incidentally, it was thanks to him that I developed an interest in Tintin comic books, as he had the entire collection (I only had two, and I wish I knew where those copies were now, probably festering in a box in my parents basement). I don't know why I remember the date of this particular visit, other than I spent the evening with my mom's friend's son jumping up and down on my parents bed, which is something that I was never allowed to do EVER – what kid is, really? But my mom was being uncharacteristically lenient that night, so we spent probably the better half of two hours jumping up and down on the bed and having a great time. And I remember what we ate for dinner that night, only because it was the first time I'd ever been introduced to this particular dish. My mom made frisée aux lardons. Frisée is one of those bitter lettuces that looks like it's had a perm. I love it, but it's one of those acquired taste lettuces, because of its bitterness. And I remember being thrown off by the fact that the dressing was hot – hot bacon vinaigrette to be exact – and holy cow was it good.
I spent another notable night in Pittsburgh making frisée aux lardons for my friend Caprice, while we danced around her kitchen to En Vogue's Never Gonna Get It playing at full blast volume. But that was in October 2004, not Christmastime, and what does that have to do with right now? Nothing. Just reminiscing here. Play along with me.
Our friend Charles, he who sends the odd gifts, sent us a hunk of slab bacon and a Virginia ham for Hanukkah (we are not Jewish and he gets a kick out of oddball things like sending us a ham for Hanukkah – don't ask, I don't get it either). We'll be using some of that slab bacon for tomorrow's salad.
This is one of those recipes I have not a single measurement for. Except for the bacon, and that amount is really up to you. I haven't made this in a while, and I'm doing it from memory so here goes:
Frisée aux lardons, for two
¼ to 1/3 rd a cup of diced up slab bacon (you can use regular bacon if you like, try to get thick cut if possible)
Red wine vinegar
Dijon mustard
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
A few handfuls of washed and dried frisée leaves, or other bitter greens, or another kind of lettuce that will stand up to heat and not wilt immediately (this is not the time for baby spring mix)
Put leaves in a salad bowl. Put however many leaves you want in there.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, sauté up the bacon bits until golden all over. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate to drain slightly, set aside. Keep pan on the burner but turn the heat off from under it.
If you have a ton of bacon grease left in the pan, discard some of it. You're making the dressing out of this. You can add a bit of olive oil to the pan if you want – this is purely up to you. I prefer my dressings to be a bit more acidic than the average person, but normally the ratio is something like a couple of tablespoons of acid (whether it's vinegar or lemon juice) to 1/3rd cup of oil. I think.
Splash in some red wine vinegar, sprinkle in some salt and pepper, and a dollop of good Dijon mustard (by "good", I don't mean store brand, I mean get your mitts on some Maille or Amora brand, or even some Grey Poupon), and whisk together with the fat/oil (this may steam up or smoke a bit; who cares, keep whisking). Pour this over the greens, toss in the bacon bits, toss it all together and serve.
I've seen this with a poached egg on top and that would be totally grand as a meal in itself, but as a side dish to the boy's Maryland style crab cakes (the only kind of crab cake worth having), without poached egg is the way to go.
Merry Christmas to you all.

it's that time of year again
The boy hitches a ride to work every day with our friend Ken. Sometimes Ken has to leave early or go in late or whatever, which takes some creative scrambling on our part to get the boy around. Yesterday, Ken was leaving work early to go to his kid's school play, so the boy bribed his boss into letting him leave early as well (it was either that or walk home from Stone Mountain, and I don't know if you guys who are not living in the ATL know, but Stone Mountain is pretty far away from Alpharetta, where we live). So the boy calls me as they're driving home to tell me that I need to make a candy apple later that night. And I'm all, DUDE.
You're probably wondering what the big deal is, since I make these every single Christmas to give away to the Chosen Few (see here, here, and here). But this year I haven't even begun to think about them yet. I mean, it's only December 10th for crying out loud. Give me a week or so and I'll get on it. plus, those things take a fair amount of shopping and mise en place. First, one must pick out The Right Apple. Secondly, one must scour the baking aisles of the grocery stores trying to find a good deal on quality ingredients. I've entertained the idea of making my own caramel for these things, but I haven't gotten around to that yet; I normally buy bags of individually wrapped caramels and use those. But all that planning and shopping and assessing my chocolate stash takes time and effort. Plus I had already been to the grocery store yesterday and didn't feel like going back out.
Fortunately, while assessing my baking goods stash (sitting on the kitchen floor digging through the right hand side cabinet of the kitchen island) I found three bags of caramel left over from last year. I always have a fair amount of chocolate on hand, as you never know when a batch of chocolate mousse or cookies need to be whipped up. I had a couple of Granny Smiths in the fruit bowl, so when the boy got home, I put him to work peeling the wrappers off of caramels and helping with melting the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove.
An overview of what you'll need to do in order to produce a fancified candy apple:
1. Wash apple. This is a necessary step or the initial coating of caramel will just slip right off and pool at the bottom, and then you'll be pissed. Wash with Veggie Wash or rub with a mixture of baking soda and water; rinse; let air dry.
2. Melt caramels in a saucepan with a tablespoon or so of water. Stir often. Do this on low heat and do not walk away. Trust me on this.
3. Those bags of caramels come with popsicle sticks, so use one of those to stick into the top of your apple. Making your own caramel and no popsicle stick? Improvise. Bamboo skewer (a sturdy one) or fork will do. Plunge it into the top of your apple securely. Dip apple into melted caramel mixture, using a spoon or rubber spatula to coat the apple evenly.
4. Place apple on a cookie sheet or plate or whatever flat dish you have that you've put a bit of parchment or silpat on. You want that apple to come back off in order to get to the next coating, so the parchment or silpat is crucial. Store in a cool place for a few minutes (fridge, outside, garage).
For this round, since I was only supposed to make the one apple, I double coated it by coating it once in caramel, letting that set in the fridge for a few minutes, then coating it again. Each bag of caramels should evenly coat 4 small apples, unless you're double dipping. You don't have to double dip them, but I had the extra, so I did.
5. Put apples back in the fridge/cool place for about an hour to ensure that final coat of caramel stays put.
6. After it's rested, melt some chocolate chips in a double boiler (pyrex bowl over an inch of simmering water in a saucepan). You don't necessarily have to use chocolate chips. I found a quarter bag of peanut butter chips lurking in my baking stash, so I melted some of those too in a separate bowl. In order to make the chocolate smooth, you may have to add just a teensy bit of canola or vegetable oil and stir with a rubber spatula. When melted, remove apple from fridge and dip it in the chocolate, coating with a rubber spatula or spoon. You could put the melted chocolate in a squeeze bottle and spray it on the apple that way. I've done all kinds of methods. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look pretty to you, because whoever is the recipient of this apple will think you're the next coming of Martha Stewart and be totally freaked out by your craftiness.
7. Anyway, once you've coated the apple with whatever melted mixture you have, place it back on the flat dish and put into the fridge again until ready to bag and use. At this point, you can also roll the apple in chopped nuts or cover in M & Ms or chopped up candy. I happened to have some silver dragées lying around that I found for cheap at Fresh Market last year (I know! "cheap" is not usually associated with Fresh Market. I was lucky). So I coated the top of the apple with those.
A note about the bags to use. If you go to Party City or Joann's or Michael's to purchase the bags, do ensure you pick up the larger size. The regular sized bags that are labeled "treat bags" are too small to fit the apples in. Sometimes these larger bags take a bit of hunting down to acquire. I've bought them from the Container Store before, but only as a last resort when I couldn't find them anywhere else – they are not cheap there. I found some colorful stripey larger treat bags at Joann's a while back and bought all they had. Once you've gently stuck your apple in the bag, set bag upright and tie closed with some decorative ribbon or with the twisty tie that comes with it. keep in a cool place until ready to give.
I ended up making two apples last night since I had so much melted caramel that needed to be used up. One is for the boy's boss, and the other is going to my friend Ryan who I'm going to see tonight (hi Ryan!) who didn't know until now that she's getting one today. She'll get another later on when I end up making the 18 apples (plus or minus a few) that I originally planned on making sometime next week or the week after. Ryan and I are supposed to write a book together, and we will if I can ever get off my lazy ass and go see her.
above photo is fuzzy cos it was taken with my phone and then i messed with it in Photogene and probably made it too bright.

The EIP subproject in the template-jersey app should only ever contain outbound flow configurations and not inbound flow configurations
What is the most appropriate definition of a ProchainProcessor in terms of our new way of doing things
A prochain processor is a deployable component that can service multiple activemq queues and each queue can have multiple consumers to process the message
A prochain processor is a deployable component that can service multiple activemq queues and each queue only has one consumer to process the message
A prochain processor is a deployable component that services only one activemq queue and that queue will have only one consumer to process the message
A prochain processor can place a message directly on an activemq queue which is serviced by a prochain processor associated with another intapi
What is the most appropriate way of adding a consumer on an activemq queue in production
Change the prochain processor configuration to have one more consumer on the queue in question
Bring up another instance of the same prochain processor in production on its on aws instance
What is the purpose of the camel config file in the eip subproject
its only something that is used for testing and starting a broker
it is used to configure a camel route between queues if we want to
It is a way to know which queues are configured for exponential retry of message redelivery using the AMQ_SCHEDULED_DELAY header in the message headers.
The @EipRetry annotation should only be used on a method that has a @ServiceActivator annotation
Each service activator can have its own exponential retry configuration
If you do not use an EIPRetry annotation on a service activator and dont have any other error handling configuration setup in the flow then what does spring integration do with exceptions?
Spring integration just throws these exceptions away
A MessageHandlingException message is sent to a global jms channel called errorChannel.
What is the most appropriate EIPRetry annotation?
redeliveryChannel =TEMPLATE_CREATION_GATEWAY_CHANNEL_NAME,
retryConfig = 'taulia.PROJECTNAME.prochains.templateCreation'
errorChannel = ERROR_CHANNEL_NAME,
redeliveryChannel = TEMPLATE_CREATION_GATEWAY_CHANNEL_NAME,
retryConfig = 'taulia.PROJECTNAME.prochains.templateCreation'
What does the templateMessagePublishingErrorHandler in the template-jersey-app demonstrate?
Demonstrates that you can send exceptions to an error channel without using the @EipRetry annotation on the service activator
Demonstrates absolutely nothing
What does the templateNotificationErrorChannel integrationFlow in the TemplateNotificationFlowConfiguration demonstrate?
In order to send the messages from the errorChannel to an activemq queue so that application support can look at them we need to define a outbound flow between the jms error channel and a queue name
It demonstrates that we cannot process error messages once they have gone to the error channel.

SUBJECT : Reductions in centrifugal pump NPSHR (net positive suction head required 12-1)
The curve that came with your pump shows the NPSH required for any given impeller size and capacity. This number was determined by pumping cold water through the pump while reducing the suction head until the pump showed a reduction in discharge head of three percent (3%), due to the low suction head and any formation of bubbles within the pump. This point is called "the point of incipient cavitation".
Please take a look at the pump curve shown in the next drawing. It demonstrates that if you had a 13 inch (330 mm) impeller and you wanted to pump 300 gpm (68m3/hr.) you would need at least 10 (3 meters) feet of NPSH. If you are pumping hot water or some hydrocarbons you can, in some cases, operate with a lower NPSH required than shown on the pump curve.
If you reference Technical paper Volume #9, Number #12 , you will learn that we used a similar reduction when we were calculating the suction specific speed number (SSS) of the impeller.
The NPSH reduction chart, will show you how to calculate this reduction. As you use this chart please keep the following in mind:
Using the chart is not very complicated:
Find the temperature of your product and proceed either up or down to the vapor pressure of your product in either psia. or kPa. (100 kPa = 1 atmosphere)
From this point follow along or parallel to the sloping lines to the right side of the chart where you can read the NPSH reduction in feet or meters.
Example #1:
Example #2 :
If your calculations show that you have a potential cavitation problem you have several choices:
If you will refer to my Technical paper Volume #1 Paper number #3 you will see that I have covered the above subjects in good detail.
Here are a couple of more thoughts on the subject:

You may have seen that this event was built BY small business FOR small business.
The founding organizers of the tour, Tony Lael, Kris Fuehr and Frank Coker were working to build the visibility for Corelytics Financial Dashboard with small business owners. We met over sushi one day in Bellevue, Washington while brainstorming how we could break through with the idea that there were new ways to think about running a business (using our financial dashboard).
We caught ourselves several times saying, "it's more than calling out cool features, it's a paradigm shift." Then we wondered how many other small business software companies (with the exact same budget challange) were saying the exact same thing. So we went to our partners who serve (and love) small businesses --Intuit and Microsoft, to see if they would like to join us on a road to educate customers about these amazing new capabilities out there. They agreed that it was a story that needed to be told and were supportive, even adamant, that WE lead the message, not them.
More companies spoke up like Concur, Constant Contact and T-Mobile -- each with "amazing apps" for small business that they wanted to showcase using their platform or services.
So, this is a story of "what's amazing" now -- from companies who may or may not have a giant budget to get their word out but who have a substantial base of customers who love what they do. It's an education in "new ways", driven by people who are vehemently passionate about small business and believe that the key to America's health is through the success of our small businesses.
We hope you'll join the tour, network and learn about these new shifts that are making business fun again! We'll work to keep your best interests in mind.
-Kris, Tony & Frank

Protocol Consultants International
Networkingby Judith Bowman on 05/02/17
- Eat something first!
- Obtain a copy of the guest list and familiarize yourself with:
- attendees' names... and practice pronouncing names!
- internal company news i.e. an impending merger/acquisition, new product release, etc.
- Wear appropriate attire (dark colors) and a jacket with large pockets (ladies) - one for incoming and one for outgoing cards.
- Have a "tag line" prepared specific to this group.
- Upon arrival, go to the restrooms - freshen, pop a breath mint and wash hands thoroughly to eliminate "clammy hands," (the Kiss of Death!)
- Name badges belong (high) on your right side out of consideration for those trying to view, learn, remember and use your name.
- Make your entrance: Exude positive energy! ... Remember, we as human beings are naturally drawn toward positive energy, positive people! Let others feel your presence!
- Hold glasses in your LEFT hand (always with a cocktail napkin!) leaving your right hand free to shake hands.
- Approach singles, groups of 3's or more.
- Invest 5-7 minutes per person and then move on.
- Disengage tactfully and provide an introduction before leaving (the proverbial pass-off!)
- Introduce yourself to senior level people you normally would not have the opportunity to meet.
- Actively engage in artful Small Talk and conversation skill, remembering your preparation and research for each conversation launch.
- Always ask before assuming someone wants your card, "May I offer you my card?"
"May I ask for your card?"
- Make personal notes about the other person to use in subsequent follow-up communication.
- Walk whomever you are speaking with not only to the door, but outside the door as they are leaving to take advantage of "real talk" to advance the relationship; thank them for attending.
- Send a brief email note of thanks, after having identified they are an e-culture person/company, ... and follow-up with a personal, hand-written note the next day or within 48 hours. Clearly, the longer you wait, the less impact the gesture holds. This provides you with an opportunity to get yourself, your company/brand in front of your target and leave yet another Judy Jones "impression." And, ... 'repetition is reputation!
The Art of the Apologyby Judith Bowman on 02/08/17
- Apologize face-to-face … the sooner the better. Show remorse, humility; own it.
- Ask forgiveness. State what you will do going forward.
- Write a personal note; email, text or even a phone call is not as effective.
- Allow time to heal and regain their trust.
- Say, "I'm sorry I made you feel that way because of my words/behavior."
Holiday Tippingby Judith Bowman on 12/15/16
Literally translated, "T.I.P." means "To Insure Promptness."
The holidays are an ideal time to say "thank you" ... in the ways that matter, to those who have helped us through the year. While holiday tipping for regular service providers is very personal and certainly not mandatory, there are general guidelines:
Regular service providers on whom we have come to trust and rely such as our hair stylist, manicurist or masseuse, babysitter, animal sitter, newspaper delivery person, UPS person, housekeeper, etc., those who help make our lives easier and brighten our day, and deserve to be acknowledged. Rule: the holiday tip should be one week's compensation for that service provider. For example, if you pay your housecleaner $60 per week, write another check for $60 for their holiday bonus.
While some may consider this over the top, there are many who "tip" much more than these basic guidelines. Babysitters and concierges, for example, are tipped as much as $100 to $500 or more, during the holidays. Remember, we trust these individuals, we rely on them, they take care of us/our children, they give us peace of mind, and make our lives easier, better.
Hair stylist, Manicurist, Masseuse - write another check for the same amount or, 20% of your regular hair treatment x 2.
Day care provider - follow the same guidelines, however, this is very personal and, subjective.
Dog walker - follow same guidelines, however, this again, is very personal
Newspaper delivery person - $10 to $20
Postal delivery person: $10 to $20. It is actually illegal to tip the postal carrier any more than $20.
House cleaner - write another check for the same amount.
Valet - $20 - $30
Secretary/Admin - write another check for one week's salary.
*Please note: the Holiday Bonus is an entirely separate issue.
Not to forget:
Day to day regular service providers who i.e. drive you to work every day, make your coffee, pump your gas, the doorman in your building, etc.
*Money need not always be the form of the holiday "tip." While monetary gifts and gift cards are more common during the Holidays, some may not be able to tip or, prefer to gift something other than money.
Options: making something - your specialty craft of expertise, a special framed photo, baked goods, etc. A 'thank you' gesture of gratitude during the Holidays in any form is appreciated. People like to feel appreciated and acknowledged and 'The Holidays' is the perfect time to do so!
What ever gesture you chose, it truly is the thought and gesture, that count!
*A personal thank you note should always accompany the tip.
Even if your card has a pre-written message, write your own note of thanks.
*Black ink is used for strictly professional correspondence. Blue ink reflects warmth. Consider festive holiday colors i.e. red, green or gold is elegant!
Civilityby Judith Bowman on 12/13/16
It doesn't get any hotter or more contested than the dialogue between President Obama and President-Elect Trump. Yet, after the most contentious campaign in history, the people of this Democratic Republic have spoken, and as a result, our world leaders have chosen … to show respect, civility and professionalism to our country and the world. In a most cordial, peaceful transfer of power meeting at the White House, together they set a world-class example by which we should all abide.
Americans need to come together and rebuild - our spirit, our core which frankly, needed nurturing long before this impassioned e-lection. The people of this great Republic have always shown unity, strength and resolve in the face of greatest adversity to keep America strong. This very challenging time in our country's history presents a great opportunity to come together again, to heal, and set an example for our children and the world.
There are only two emotions in the world: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear." Elizabeth Kubler Ros. People fear that which they do not know. The violence that has erupted from protestors this week is driven by ignorance and fear … fear of the unknown.
Change is imminent and change is good. However, change can be daunting because it represents the unknown. That said, Trump is the voice for the majority of Americans who clearly want change. We need to acknowledge the fear and strive to come together to heal knowing peace, prosperity and justice will prevail.
Donald Trump is going to be our next president, like it or not. It's okay to raise our voices but not to indulge in hatred and destruction. Hatred is a negative emotion lead by fear which is destructive. In the name of the greatest Democracy, Americans have a right to protest, but rioters are not expressing "Freedom of Speech." Anarchy is un-American, unacceptable and will not remedy anything. It is not okay to loot, riot, smash storefronts and cars, spit and beat people up …for expressing their preferences? No.
This is a pivotal time in American history. Our new President-Elect has a tough long road ahead with unprecedented business issues and challenges looming domestically and internationally and he needs our prayers and support. Being destructive and negative breed's destruction and negativity. Being derisive will not advance us as a country but only retard progress and there is much work to do.
World Peace begins at home and starts with a basic show of respect and civility toward each other - especially our new President-Elect. We need to reunite and support our new President-Elect who, by the way, won.
In his victory speech he said, "to those who have chosen not to support me, I reach out to you and ask for your help so that we can work together and unify our great country." It's time to take responsibility and come together. It's time to show respect for our new President-Elect who is going to be our 45th president. There is a code of respectability that accompanies any president-elect at this time which needs to be honored. As President Obama has said, it's important "we can come together to face the challenges America faces." And, as Hillary Clinton told her backers: "We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead."
So let's give this President-Elect a chance to make America love again, make America respected, make America great and strong again. He cannot do it alone. Help our new President-Elect unite America so this great country can flourish; "United we stand; divided we fall."

Programming the Subconscious Mindby Judith Bowman on 09/01/15
The quote,
"I think therefore I am" prompted me to think further about our
ability to actually program our subconscious to redirect our destiny.
We can actually program the subconscious mind to tell ourselves we "are." When we consciously tell the subconscious mind that we feel a certain way, we program our subconscious mind to respond in kind. Anything we want to attract is the result of what we put into our subconscious mind. Once programmed, the subconscious mind responds to whatever is planted; a change in feeling is a change in destiny!
Program What We Want to Attract
If we program negativity or worry, a negative feeling will be created and we experience the destiny of being unhappy, sad, etc., and this will beget negativity and worry. When we consciously shift away from negative thoughts and program the subconscious mind with positives ... e.g. the "I am's" (I am content, I am healthy, I am Fabulous! etc.) our wish will become reality. Because our subconscious mind represents what we ask for, what we want to attract into our life is fundamental.The subconscious mind rules our life. 97 % of everything we do is as a result of the subconscious mind. Moreover, the subconscious mind is impersonal and does not distinguish between what we are feeling versus what is actually happening in our life. Plant the seed, instill the positive thought and ASSUME the positive feeling to be yours.
The subconscious mind is most comfortable in the unconscious state e.g. just as we are about to go into sleep state. Therefore, just as you are getting drowsy, consciously prepare your mind for the next eight (sleeping) hours of marinade. Instructions are sealed when we sleep. We have the power to not only shape and influence, but compose our instructions. Consider how you want to prepare yourself for having your instructions sealed.
Achieving Goals
To achieve your goals ask yourself the question: How would I feel were my wishes and dreams realized? Then assume this state. Live the feeling of being the one you want to be - of a wish fulfilled in all aspects of your life.

Signs a Man Will Be Good in Bed
4 Signs a Man Will Put a Woman First in Bed
"Chivalry isn't dead, it's just asleep," explains Dr. Ian Kerner, author of She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman. In an interview, he told me that while it's hard to guess how a man will perform, those who still practice chivalrous behavior will likely put women first inside the bedroom, too.
"Guys who open doors or push in chairs are communicating their feelings about you as a top priority," he says, "and as long as the date goes well, the benefits may translate between the sheets." In addition to overall politeness and respect, here are four good signs to look out for, according to Dr. Kerner:
- He enjoys physical intimacy outside of the bedroom, like hugging, kissing, cuddling.
- He takes time to listen to you during conversations and has a real interest in your life and
what's going on with you.
- He can stop what he's doing to make time for you.
- He takes the time to do things for you: create playlists, pick out the perfect sexy lingerie,
recommend books, etc.
Does your experience match up?
Stay tuned for more tips from Dr. Kerner, who will be providing his insight just in time for Valentine's Day!

I was wondering what everyone did to be able to identify company hardware, such as phones, tablets, laptops. Stuff that is very portable and could be walked off with. Do you mark it with Sharpe? Company sticker? We keep an inventory of all our hardware, but it'd be nice to look at something and be able to say "Yes (No), that is (is not) company property" at a glance. Thoughts?

I used a plastic engraving pen and printed labels identifying it by device name. I then added the paid invoices for said items into spiceworks as attachments. . . . With the MAC its undeniable

You would be best to find one specifically for plastic engraving since the one above may be too powerful and grind right through the plastic, but once its engraved, there's no getting it off.
May 1, 2012 at 1:08 UTC
We have an excel spreadsheet based on device, this houses everything from hostname, device name, model, Mac Address, what user has this item.
Also we use normal sticky labels on the device itself
May 2, 2012 at 5:31 UTC
If it's got a MAC address or S/N it's in Spiceworks with a record of purchase. I also keep the invoices to match up with purchase dates set in Spiceworks.
May 2, 2012 at 7:07 UTC
I have stopped engraving anything as it can have issues with warranty.
If you engrave it and something goes wrong they are very unlikely to swap the device over, instead they will have to fix it which will normally take longer. If it is unengraved they at least have the option to do a swap.
May 4, 2012 at 9:57 UTC
Wow Peachy, I'm sorry to hear that. I've never had that issue. What were you engraving the warranty void if tampered sticker lol?

There is an old saying about how the truth always likes to come out:
Afghan officials say NATO and Afghan forces patrolling near the Pakistan border came under fire before they called in the NATO airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on Saturday.
Sunday's account by unnamed officials contradicts Islamabad's claims that the attack on two Pakistani army bases was unprovoked.
NATO and U.S. officials responded quickly to try to minimize the diplomatic repercussions of the attack. NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Sunday promised a full investigation into the "tragic, unintended" deaths.
Pakistani forces have been accused of harboring Taliban forces, and even of launching attacks on U.S. forces themselves. The Pakistani outpost was not hit with a single aircraft, but an overwhelming attack using rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. It suggests to me that the air strikes were a message to the Pakistanis that we've tired of playing these games, that we'll simply annihilate the Pakistani military forces when they target our forces.
There is still a chance that the strikes were an accident instead of a message, but I find it increasingly hard to accept that as the most probable explanation.

Remembering Bubba Smith
August 4, 2011 by staff
Remembering Bubba Smith, Some thoughts about Bubba Smith, who died yesterday at 66. He may be best remembered today as an actor and TV pitchman. However, there was a name on the football field, first in the State of Michigan and then as a Baltimore Colt. Baralle Andy writes about the history of professional football by the Fifth.
In late 1960 and early 1970, there was no more impressive sight in football Charles Aaron Smith, better known as Bubba. Before a terrible knee injury in 1972, Smith was one of the best in the NFL's all-around 4.3 defensive ends. When he wanted, he could dominate.
Smith was twice All-American teams Michigan State power in the mid 60′s. The Baltimore Colts, with a peak acquired in a trade with the Saints in New Orleans expansion, made him the first overall pick in 1967. Three of his schoolmates, Clint Jones, George Webster and Gene Washington, were also among the first eight selections that year.
Smith was officially named in the 6-7 and 265 pounds, but probably played least much closer to 300, especially early in his career. It was an unusual combination of size, speed, power and speed. Have such long arms did not hurt so much, especially when the quarterback tried to throw to his right.
Because the crimes usually in line with the tight turn, Smith, left defensive end, had to play the first race. The pass, which was not only a bull rider. He was fast enough to beat offensive tackle wide on the outside and had a good enough lateral movement to beat with a quick inward. Once the deal was a little out of balance, it was usually all. The offense often had to keep his fullback to give help to address. That allowed the linebackers to get more depth in pass coverage.
For its second year, 1968, Smith joined end Ordell Braase and Billy Ray Smith and tackles Fred Miller to form one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. That season, Baltimore allowed the fewest points in the league, 144, en route to a final of 13-1. In Smith's five years in Baltimore, the Colts compiled a 53-13-4 regular season. He was named first team All-Pro in 1971 and was elected to the Pro Bowl after the 1970 season and 1971.
In 1972, during a preseason game, Smith was chasing through the camp when it became entangled with markers of yards along the sideline. In those years, when the action got too close, the team would pull the string and leave the sticks upright, being placed on the floor. As a result of an injury to Smith, I think, the league changed the procedure, which requires the team before it fell back, to remove the sticks and the abandonment of the planes on the ground.
Colts' medical equipment knee injury described Smith as one of the worst he had seen. He was forced to watch most of the season from the sideline in a wheelchair, and he was not the same player again. During his long rehabilitation, Smith was traded to the Raiders for tight end Raymond Chester. He played two years in Oakland and after two years in Houston before retiring after the 1976 season.
Smith, like many of his teammates, never overcame the shock defeat of the Colts to the Jets in Super Bowl 3. In 2007 he told NFL Films: "Until today, they will have that game and I turn away immediately." (Set of United States, 1970 Baltimore Colts)
Even his Super Bowl victory over the Cowboys two years later did not give much in the way of redemption. Linebacker Mike Curtis hides his Super Bowl ring in his jacket pocket of one of his suits. Center Bill Curry remembers the victory as bittersweet: "It is the mixed sense of achievement I've had in my career … I did not feel like we went there and took care of business … We turned the ball seven times. " (NFL Films: Game of the United States, 1970 Baltimore Colts)
Smith recalled:
Now when he (Jim O'Brien) kicks a field goal (to win), I became depressed. I knew it would be a good feeling. Finally he did. World Champions. I did not feel that way. I really could not feel as happy as I wanted to feel, because I had to look at my other Super Bowl ring 3 and say: Well, I have two. "And I could not. (NFL Films: Game of the United States, 1970 Baltimore Colts)
5 Super Bowl championships was the last time the Colts in Baltimore. In 1984, during a snowstorm at night, filled up the truck and walked away. Memorial Stadium was silent forever. The Baltimore Colts had no more.
Today, the colors are the same and the shoe remains on the hull, but much of history is lost. Unitas. Berry. Moore. Mackey. Marchetti. His team is gone. Bubba Smith is an important part of that heritage. As he told NFL Films in 2007: "I have come to grips with him long ago that we would not be remembered as the Baltimore Colts. I even went to Indianapolis and said 'you're the former Indianapolis Colt." I said, "No, I am a former Baltimore Colt."

With these reviews of Depo-Provera, find out if this quarterly contraceptive injection is right for you.

Depo-Provera protects against unplanned pregnancies for up to 13 weeks. Many women who have the injection skip periods during the entire three months. Other women continue to menstruate. Some women couldn't be happier with a contraceptive. And others experience a myriad of symptoms from irregular or heavy periods to headaches, weight gain, anxiety and loss of libido.

There are hundreds of ongoing discussions about this highly controversial contraceptive. Here is a small sampling of those discussions.

Are Depo Side Effects Temporary?

"I'm 27 and I just had my first Depo shot a little over a month ago. Within the first couple days after I had the shot, I got nauseous and sick. I also had horrible mood swings and one evening of severe depression. Since then the nausea and mood issues have pretty much tapered off.

"I have been getting a lot of bad headaches, though. I'm not sure if they are Depo-related, but it seems a likely culprit. I also bled for about a month straight. Now it has stopped.

"For the past couple days, I have had some small mood swings and have been feeling off. This would have been my normal time for my period. ... I started taking the shot because I had a lot of problems with the Pill a few years ago and also because I have very painful periods (bad enough that I used to miss work about one day a month)." - BeyondMatrix

Loss of Sex Drive

"I was on Depo for about six months (got two shots). My (my boyfriend's) main problem with it was the libido loss. It really is good birth control! The first month I lightly bled for about three weeks, and the rest of the time I rarely wanted to have sex anyways.

"I did gain a little weight, and was a bit more emotional than usual (depressed). But I really would have liked to stay on it. I loved not having my period. I did not get it after the first or second shot." - Argonsoleil

Depo's Effect On Pregnancy

"I got the shot [and] waited a week before having intercourse and three months later I am now pregnant. My ... doctor told me that it was an instant type thing... After never getting my period for two months and somehow I knew was not going to get it for the third time now... called up my doctor who told me that there was no need to make an appointment and that it was normal.

"I told her that I wanted a pregnancy test anyway and it came out positive. I think I am about 14 weeks pregnant... Now my main worry is what this can do to my unborn baby..." - Timmiesgirl

Depo Craziness

"If you say the wrong thing, I fly off the handle. My relationship has gotten so rocky because of my mood swings. One minute, I'm happy as can be, and the next, I'm like a mad woman. (Lately, I've been more sad than anything.) ... I haven't gained any weight or any of those other bad side effects: just the moodiness..." - LRucinksi

This place needs Upgrades! This is not a luxurious resort as it is falsely advertised. In order to attract N. American tourists it needs a major overhaul. It has more security gates than Fort Knox!
Problem is that people have to wait a long time before anyone comes around to open these gates so you can go to the beach or come back in. If the gate is closed you have to go all around the building thru town to get to your room. We have stayed there for many years and spent our winters in a private apartment that was very nice. The grounds are kept nice by hard working gardeners, The pool is always closed and needs work. We have had up to 30 people with us, friends as well as family renting various apartments, but they will not come back to Sandcastles. Nothing ever worked properly. Everything was rusted, corroded, no utensils, etc etc..They have gone to other Carribean destinations. Even other returning Snow Birds - and there is a good number of us - have found other accomodations here in Jamaica. The way Sandcastles is run is an insult to our intelligence! I really feel sorry for people who have private apartments ..I think that they are all in a sinking ship.It's sad to see your investment going down the drain.The best thing that can happen here-because it is prime property- is that some larger hotel chain buys it - guts it out and or demolishes it and puts up a descent hotel.

(The Hosting News) – Marketing application creator Crescendo Networks officially announced today it's soon to be released add-on management appliance designed to monitor its AppBeat application delivery controllers. This program, called the AppBeat SC Service Controller, will sport advanced alerting capabilities, including the option to send alerts via Twitter.
Enabling real-time and historic monitoring of multiple AppBeat DC application delivery controllers deployed within single or multiple data centers, the AppBeat SC allows network administrators to create trending reports as well as receive real-time alerts on problem conditions for both application delivery and networking. Key features include:
• The ability to collect and store networking, device and service level information for up to 18 months.
• The option to receive alerts via Twitter, email or SNMP, with the benefit of Twitter access via mobile handsets as well as web browsers
• The option to have Crescendo Networks' customer support team monitor the user's Twitter account as a service in order to accelerate assistance when needed.
The AppBeat SC extends the benefits of Crescendo's AppBeat DC family of application delivery controllers, the only ADCs in the industry that are deployed on a purpose-built hardware platform specifically engineered to accelerate and optimize and monitor application delivery as well as boost server and network efficiency. The AppBeat series – including 1Gbps, 4 Gbps and 10Gbps controllers – outperforms other solutions because of a parallel processing architecture that allows multiple features to be enabled without the usual performance degradation or resource contention. Web sites utilizing AppBeat DCs for application delivery typically see up to a 70% improvement in site response times.
"The AppBeat SC is the first monitoring and alert system for our flagship AppBeat line of application delivery controllers as well as the first Twitter alert mechanism in the space," said Adoram Ga'ash, CEO of Crescendo Networks. "Together, the AppBeat DC and AppBeat SC equip Web properties with the most advanced application delivery and monitoring infrastructure in the industry."
The AppBeat SC will ship with pre-packaged alerts as well as allowing users to create custom alert scenarios. Alerts can range from degradation in response time and an influx of concurrent HTTP requests to more complex monitoring reports, such as pre-defined variations in requests per second indicating problems like a site attack. Administrators can also use the alert system to flag traffic volumes beyond a pre-set threshold in order to avoid premium charges from ISPs.

Published: February 14, 2014 - 10:44 PM
PHOENIX: With much of the Northeast gripped by snow and ice storms, the Southwest is riding a record heat wave that sent people to beaches and golf courses in droves Friday.
People in Phoenix and Southern California were sunning themselves in 80-degree weather, with forecasters predicting more of the same through the weekend.
Both areas are known for warm weather, but the National Weather Service said the temperatures are uncharacteristically hot for this time of year. The heat is the result of a high-pressure system off the coast of Southern California.
In the Phoenix area, the many Midwestern retirees and visitors who flock to the desert each winter were thrilled about the 80-degree days — and not being in the miserable cold back home.
Rocky Krizan, a Chisago City, Minn., retiree who spends his winters in the Phoenix area, said his daughter and two grandchildren just arrived from Minnesota and were stunned by the difference.
"When they left there at 5 o'clock in the morning, it was minus-24. That's actual temperature and wind chill," he said.
By 11 a.m. in Phoenix, they were at the pool in mid-70s temperatures.

Live-action DC Superhero costumes have come a long way… or at least, most of them have. Reddit user hitokirivader created a unique tribute to the evolution of Superman and Batman costumes—he also included a nice jab to help remind everyone just how little cinematic attention the one true Amazonian princess, Wonder Woman, has received in the last few decades.
Check out the costumes after the break…
Here's what hitokirivader had to say about the image he posted:
I made tributes to the Supermen and Batmen, so it only felt fitting to include all 73 years of Wonder Women too.

I found too recently that picking RAM for AMD CPU's quite frustrating and G Skill for instance make some really nice RAM for Intel based stuff but it seems that they made very little specific for AMD (the machines I was working on).
Could be something real simple as one tends to look at worst case scenarios first.
Just as a matter of curiosity I found this if it is of any use (double click on Global oops just Global) http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD...s_Edition/#MSL

If the machine is just for general use and the fourth stick is not going to work and if you are aiming at 4GB I personally would get two sticks of 2GB or you could even try three (6GB)- if the max RAM is what you are aiming for 4GB should be ok for general use.
Myself I have used three sticks in a system with this problem and it has worked out fine - as an experiment you could try adding a 2GB stick and then another onwards until you hit the problem (powering of between additions of course) . Unfortunately it sounds like your board is maybe needing to be upgraded Roger

Well i had 3x1 gig sticks of crucial ballistix tracer ram which worked well with 32 bit windows 7 so i upgraded to 64 bit but then when i tried to boot up my machine it kept failing and would only boot once in every 30 attempts.finally after 5 weeks of Bsods i got messages of IRQL not less or equal which pointed me to a faulty ram chip, so one by one i loaded the chips individually and narrowed it down to the faulty ram stick, which i have now replaced from advice from crucial customer services.It works well on the 64 bit windows with 3 gig but i do play games and i need the extra ram and i watch dvds which need the extra,you are right i do need to upgrade my motherboard when i have the funds i will build what will be my 4th pc but i still would like to sort out this problem first if its possible.

Hum Roger sorry about the predicament mate - reckon some 2 or 4GB sticks might be the go - if that doesn't work then at least you will have them on board so to speak for the next build.
As a by the by I have gone off AMD stuff due to a) Intel forging ahead and b) Intel seem to have better options (IMHO) for RAM configs. If the graphics are a major consideration then a decent GPU would sort that out eh?
Good luck and let me / us how you go

He lacks a great first step and doesn't reach the corner. A majority of his sacks came from quarterbacks holding on to the ball for too long. His upper-body is extremely skinny, skinnier than that of Gaines Adams and even Michael Johnson. He isn't fast at all and looks like he will run a 4.8 or a 4.9. Honestly I think he is the worst of all of the prototype defensive ends (Peppers, Williams, Anderson, Johnson, Adams). He compares favorably with Jamaal Anderson from a few years ago who went top 10 and hasn't done anything in the NFL, the only difference? Jamaal Anderson was better in college and was stronger.
IMO the best prototype DE in this draft is Corey Wootton out of Northwestern.
Dunlap does have his positives though, he does have a nice bull rush, he has nice production and he never quits on a play. However I think that his strength and bull rush are results of playing against College Left Tackles that are not NFL caliber. In fact, he played 3 first round NFL tackles in Andre Smith, Michael Oher and Ciron Black all 3 of whom are right tackles in the NFL. Do you know how many sacks he registered against them? Not one. He didn't even get a sack against Phil Loadholt.
The depth chart I found said he played RE but it could be wrong so I'll just name the RTs he faced in those games:
Drew Davis, John Jerry, Joseph Barksdale and Trent Williams. 4 players who will be in the NFL, he did not register a sack.
He did not register a sack in 8 separate games. And he compiled 6 of his sacks against the likes of Kentucky, Florida St. and Miami. The only notable LT on these teams is Jason Fox, who I believe had a freshman QB that he was protecting. But aside from that he beat up on a freshman and a no name at Kentucky.
And it looks even worse if he was a LE because he was going against nobodies versus Florida St. and Kentucky and he played against an injured Reggie Youngblood in Miami. Not good any way you spin it.
Here is an example of what I mean by he gets sacks because the QB holds the ball too long:
