The last time you applied for a tech job (or evaluated a résumé of someone applying for one), how much weight did you apply to expressing your skill with basic productivity tools like Microsoft Office or OpenOffice? My guess would be very little. In the résumés I've seen from prospective applicants, it's sometimes not even mentioned. After all, being conversant with tools that are such basic parts of life in business today might seem to be a given.
It's anything but. I've met and worked with highly skilled network, server, and storage engineers who have only a passing knowledge of Excel and Visio (or their respective OpenOffice equivalents). Although it may seem a little silly at first, I believe these skills are almost as critical as having a solid understanding of the infrastructure tech you're tasked with maintaining.
I spend an enormous amount of time working with Excel and Visio. Rather than just creating documentation for a job that's already been done, I routinely use them in the planning process, communicating design changes to business stakeholders and, in some cases, as a means for configuring hardware and services. I can honestly and unabashedly say that without Excel and Visio, I'd be almost unable to do my job.

I wanted to pause for a moment to say that what I am describing with respect to the first movement of Pinan Yondan is how I teach in our dojo, which is part of Kishaba Juku, which is a form of Shorin-Ryu, which is one of the styles of Okinawan Karate. I might teach differently than other instructors in our own dojo, differently than other Kishaba Juku instructors, differently than my own instructors, and we all teach differently than other instructors in other styles.
I might teach differently on Monday and Tuesday, or even at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.! And I certainly might teach two different students differently.
I would teach the same cumulatively, but it takes a long time to get the cumulative. During that time, my own thinking will have evolved.
So if what I am describing differs from what you have been taught or teach, then welcome to the club!
If it was fixed and static, I would be bored. As it is, Karate is always interesting and exciting to me. It is always new.

Want to > schedule repair for later during non peak hours? If data is gone, the safe way is to have it re-join the cluster: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations#Handling_failure But note that in your case, since you've lost data (if I understand you), it's effectively a completely new node. That means you either want to switch it's IP address and go for the "recommended" approach, or do the other option but that WILL mean the node is serving reads with incorrect data, violating the consistency. Depending on your application, this may or may not be the case. Unless it's a major problem for you, I suggest bringing it back in with a new IP address and make it be treated like a completely fresh replacement node. Probably decreases the risk of mistakes happening. As for the other stuff about repair in the e-mail you pasted; periodic repairs are part of regular cluster maintenance.

text: The Detroit Tigers opened their final ten game homestand of the season Tuesday with a 12-2 win over the Oakland A's. Miguel Cabrera homered twice, one a grand slam and Prince Fielder hit his 27th homer and recorded his 100th rbi of the season. Max Scherzer pitched the first two innings and left with a sore shoulder and his status for his next scheduled start won't be known until the day he is scheduled to pitch. The Tigers now have a 78-69 record with 15 games remaining.

The Leafs' quicker pace found the back of the net in Game 2.
USA Today Sports
If the sixth-seeded New York Rangers hope to get back in their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Southeast Division champion Washington Capitals, they're going to have to generate some offense when they host Game 3 on Monday. New York, which finished in the middle of the pack in goals scored during the regular season despite recording 51 over 14 games in April, has totaled just one over its first two playoff contests and finds itself in a 2-0 hole. And that tally, which was scored by Carl Hagelin to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the series opener, went in off Washington defenseman John Erskine's skate.
Third-seeded Washington hasn't been lighting it up offensively either, but its flurry of three goals in a span of 8 minutes, 8 seconds in the second period of Game 1 was enough to produce a 3-1 victory. Like their opponent, the Capitals were unable to break through in regulation on Saturday afternoon, but defenseman Mike Green cashed in on a power-play opportunity eight minutes into overtime to help his team maintain home-ice advantage. Washington should not feel comfortable, however, as it has lost four of the last six series in which it has held a 2-0 lead.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN2, RDS2, CSN (Washington), MSG (New York)
ABOUT THE CAPITALS: Coach Adam Oates had all players report to the rink Sunday but made the practice optional. "I just brought them all in just to come to the arena and make sure we just get hockey on your mind," Oates told the Washington Post. "It's a stressful environment, you win in overtime, you're excited, but still it's very stressful. So let the guys just breathe a little bit." Washington's special teams have been impressive through two games. The club is 2-for-7 on the power play and has successfully killed all seven of its penalties.
ABOUT THE RANGERS: After Brian Boyle and Derek Dorsett returned from injuries to play in Game 2, Ryane Clowe could follow suit on Monday. Clowe, who recorded three goals and eight points in 12 games after being acquired from San Jose, has not played since April 25 due to an undisclosed injury that is suspected to be a concussion. He hopes to be in the lineup for Game 3 but won't return prematurely. "You've gotta make sure you're fit to play and you can at least help the team," Clowe said. "I don't want to go in there and come out again, so I want to make sure I'm ready."
* Capitals are 10-2 in the last 12 games following a win. * Capitals are 8-2 in their last 10 road games. * Rangers are 6-0 in their last six home games. * Under is 4-0 in Capitals' last four games.
1. The Rangers are 1-20 in series in which they've lost the first two games.
2. G Braden Holtby's shutout Saturday was just the second by a 1-0 score in the Capitals' playoff history. Olaf Kolzig blanked Pittsburgh 1-0 on April 12, 2001.
3. New York did not register a shot on goal over the final 17:43 of Game 2, including eight minutes of overtime.
Anaheim Ducks vs. Detroit Red Wings (-125, 5)
Anaheim leads series 2-1If the seventh-seeded Detroit Red Wings can find a way to contain the Pacific Division-champion Anaheim Ducks in the third period on Monday, they just might be able to win Game 4 at home and even their Western Conference first-round series at two games apiece. Detroit has been steamrolled in the final 20 minutes of regulation over the first three contests, allowing eight goals and scoring only one despite outshooting second-seeded Anaheim 29-28. If not for Gustav Nyquist's heroics in overtime of Game 2, the Red Wings would be facing elimination thanks to the Ducks' third-period outbursts.The series opener was tied 1-1 heading into the third, when Anaheim scored twice to post a 3-1 victory. Detroit was ahead 4-1 in Game 2 before the Ducks began a run of three unanswered goals at 7:50 of the third to forge a tie before falling in overtime. Anaheim erupted for three tallies again in the final session of Game 3 to expand a 1-0 advantage and take a 2-1 lead in the series.TV: 8 p.m. ET, CNBC, TSN, RDS, KDOC (Anaheim), FSN (Detroit)ABOUT THE DUCKS: Defenseman Toni Lydman is questionable for Game 4 after sustaining a hit to the head from Detroit's Justin Abdelkader late in the second period on Saturday. Lydman did not return to the contest and was unable to practice Sunday, leaving his status for Monday up in the air. "Toni has headaches. He's got a stiff neck and bright lights are bugging him, so I don't know when that's not going to be there," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "So if we're going minute by minute and day by day, (Monday) is very questionable for him." Defenseman Sheldon Souray is likely to return to the lineup should Lydman sit out. Souray was a healthy scratch on Saturday after committing the penalty that led to Detroit's winning goal in overtime in Game 2.ABOUT THE RED WINGS: Abdelkader may have played his last game of the season. The left wing received a two-game suspension for his illegal hit to the head of Lydman in Game 3, meaning unless the Red Wings earn at least one victory while he's gone, Abdelkader will have to wait until 2013-14 to return to action. Coach Mike Babcock disagreed with the suspension, feeling Abdelkader did nothing to warrant it. "I watched the hit again (Sunday) and, holy mackerel, I don't know what you're going to be suspended for," Babcock said. "You turn the video on and pretend there was contact to the head, maybe you can find something."TRENDS* Ducks are 4-0 in their last four road games.* Red Wings are 5-1 in their last six games on one day rest.* Under is 20-8-4 in Red Wings' last 32 games. * Under is 12-5 in last 17 meetings.OVERTIME1. Babcock likely will insert either RW Todd Bertuzzi or RW Jordin Tootoo into the lineup for Abdelkader.2. Power plays have loomed large in the series as Anaheim (five) and Detroit (four) have combined for nine goals with the man advantage. Only Pittsburgh (six) has scored more power-play tallies this postseason.3. RW Emerson Etem became the third member of the Ducks to score his first career playoff goal in this series, joining Cs Nick Bonino and Kyle Palmieri.
St. Louis Blues vs. Los Angeles Kings (-142, 4.5)
St. Louis leads series 2-1There were no hiccups in Jonathan Quick's performance on Saturday as he backstopped the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Kings to their first victory this postseason. The 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner would love to receive more than one goal of support in Game 4 on Monday as host Los Angeles attempts to even its Western Conference first-round series against the fourth-seeded St. Louis Blues. The Kings dropped a pair of 2-1 decisions - including one in overtime - in St. Louis before once again scoring just one goal at Staples Center in Game 3, but Quick turned aside all 30 shots he faced for his fifth career postseason shutout.Quick also was superb in the first two games of the series but had lapses late in each contest that resulted in game-winning goals by St. Louis. Alex Steen forced Quick to cough up the puck behind his net in overtime of the series opener and pounced on it to score a short-handed goal. With Game 2 tied at 1-1, Quick allowed a long-range goal by Blues defenseman Barret Jackman with 51 seconds remaining and St. Louis held on to take a 2-0 series lead.TV: 10 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS, FSN Midwest (St. Louis), FSN West (Los Angeles)ABOUT THE BLUES: Rookie Vladimir Tarasenko could make his NHL postseason debut Monday after being a healthy scratch for each of the first three games of the series. The right wing went the entire month of April (15 games) without scoring a goal and tallied in just one of his last 25 contests - a two-goal performance against Los Angeles on March 28. "I think he looks hungry and ready to play, and I'm sure he's going to play well when he gets in," coach Ken Hitchcock told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "But you're not really sure if you want to screw around with the lineup right now when we're playing so well." Right wing Ryan Reaves recorded three hits in Game 3, giving him 15 over the first three contests of the series.ABOUT THE KINGS: Coach Darryl Sutter elected to dress seven defensemen in Game 3, and the decision paid off as new addition Alec Martinez recorded an assist on the only goal of the contest. Martinez received 12:45 of ice time in his first appearance since April 2. "I felt a little rusty, but it's playoff hockey and every guy wants to play in theses games," he told the Los Angeles Times. "If you're having a hard time getting up for a playoff game, then you've got bigger problems." Martinez, who is of Spanish decent, lightened the mood at practice Sunday by wearing a sombrero along with a red sock, a white sock and a green jersey in honor of the Mexican Cinco de Mayo holiday.TRENDS* Blues are 5-1 in their last six. * Home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. * Blues are 0-6 in last six meetings in Los Angeles. * Under is 7-1-3 in Kings' last 11 games. * Under is 19-4-3 in Blues' last 26 overall.OVERTIME1. Los Angeles has been outshot 20-8 in the third period over the last two games.2. St. Louis G Brian Elliott has allowed just one goal in each of his last six starts and nine of his last 10.3. Including the regular season, the Kings have won eight straight home contests and have not allowed a first-period goal during the streak.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Divisions of Investment Management (IM) and Corporate Finance (CF) released a staff legal bulletin (Bulletin) on June 30, 2014, covering various issues involved with proxy voting. In the Bulletin, the staff of the IM Division (IM Staff) provided guidance as to the responsibilities of investment advisers in voting client proxies and retaining proxy advisory firms, and the staff of the CF Division (CF Staff) expressed its views as to the requirements for two exemptions from the federal proxy rules that are often relied upon by proxy advisory firms.
Many U.S. asset managers that manage investment funds currently retain proxy advisory firms, and this DechertOnPoint focuses on the IM Staff's guidance to investment advisers.1
Overview of the Bulletin
The IM Staff first provided examples of steps that investment advisers may wish to take to demonstrate that proxy votes are being cast in accordance with their clients' best interests and in a manner that is consistent with the investment adviser's own proxy voting policies and procedures. The IM Staff also noted that, although there are many different types of proxy arrangements that may be agreed to between investment advisers and clients, a registered investment adviser must always exercise proxy authority in compliance with the SEC's proxy voting rule (Proxy Voting Rule).2 The IM Staff addressed factors that it believes an investment adviser should consider when determining whether to retain a proxy advisory firm to assist the investment adviser in discharging its obligations to clients with respect to proxy voting matters. Further, the IM Staff discussed how an investment adviser who retains a proxy advisory firm should exercise reasonable ongoing oversight of that proxy voting firm – focusing, particularly, on the potential conflicts of interest to which proxy advisory firms may be subject, as well as an investment adviser's duties with respect to the material accuracy of the facts relied upon by proxy voting firms in formulating a recommendation.
Investment Adviser Recommendations
In light of the fiduciary duties owed by an investment adviser to its clients and the particular requirements imposed on registered investment advisers by the Proxy Voting Rule, the IM Staff suggested the following steps that investment advisers can take to demonstrate that proxy votes are cast in accordance with clients' best interests and the investment adviser's proxy voting policies and procedures:
Additionally, consistent with the SEC's compliance program rule under the Advisers Act (Compliance Program Rule), the IM Staff suggested that an investment adviser should review (at least annually) the "adequacy of its proxy voting policies and procedures to make sure they have been implemented effectively, including whether these policies and procedures continue to be reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of its clients."4
Types of Proxy Arrangements
The IM Staff noted that the Proxy Voting Rule does not require that investment advisers be responsible for voting proxies on behalf of clients. Rather, investment advisers and clients may agree as to the authority, if any, that an investment adviser will exercise, including for example: (i) client grants to the investment adviser complete authority to vote proxies; (ii) client agrees that the investment adviser will not vote certain types of proxy proposals; (iii) client instructs the investment adviser to vote proxies as recommended by the management of the company, unless the investment adviser receives different instructions from the client; (iv) client and investment adviser agree that the adviser will abstain from voting all proxies, regardless of whether the client votes proxies itself; and (v) client instructs the investment adviser to focus resources only on particular types of proposals based on the client's preferences.5 The IM Staff emphasized that, whenever a registered investment adviser assumes any degree of voting authority, it must exercise that authority in a manner that is consistent with the Proxy Voting Rule.
Proxy Advisory Firm Factors
The IM Staff discussed certain factors that it believes an investment adviser should consider when retaining a proxy advisory firm. In particular, the IM Staff emphasized that an investment adviser should consider "whether the proxy advisory firm has the capacity and competency to adequately analyze proxy issues." Factors that the IM Staff suggested advisers might consider include:
Investment Adviser Oversight
The IM Staff cited prior guidance indicating its view that investment advisers have an ongoing duty to oversee any proxy advisory firm retained.7 Under the Proxy Voting Rule, investment advisers who have proxy voting authority must adopt written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser is voting proxies in its clients' best interests. In the IM Staff's view, this would include oversight procedures when a proxy advisory firm is retained and, since a proxy advisory firm's business and/or policies and procedures regarding conflicts of interest can change over time, the investment adviser should also "establish and implement measures reasonably designed to identify and address the proxy advisory firm's conflicts that can arise on an ongoing basis." The IM Staff suggested that an investment adviser might satisfy this "by requiring the proxy advisory firm to update the investment adviser of business changes the investment adviser considers relevant ... or [changes in the proxy advisory firm's] conflict policies and procedures."
The IM Staff also addressed its expectation that "an investment adviser that receives voting recommendations from a proxy advisory firm should ascertain that the proxy voting firm has the ... ability to make voting recommendations based on materially accurate information." If an investment adviser discovers that a proxy voting recommendation was based on materially inaccurate information, the adviser might reasonably question the proxy advisory firm's processes and, in the IM Staff's view, such an adviser "should take reasonable steps to investigate the error." In doing so, the IM Staff suggested that the investment adviser consider the nature of the error, its effect on the related recommendation, and the measures the proxy advisory firm is undertaking to reduce similar types of errors in the future.
The Bulletin provides helpful insight as to the IM Staff's view of an investment adviser's obligations when retaining a proxy advisory firm to assist it in complying with its fiduciary duties with respect to proxy voting and the Proxy Voting Rule. The Bulletin also sets forth relevant factors that investment advisers may wish to consider when retaining a proxy advisory firm and means by which advisers can oversee any proxy advisory firms that they have retained. Implementing policies and procedures for evaluating and overseeing proxy advisory firms can help demonstrate that the investment adviser has complied with its fiduciary duties, the Proxy Voting Rule, and the Compliance Program Rule, and should reduce the chances that proxy advisory firm conflicts of interest or errors could negatively impact the investment adviser or its clients. The IM Staff has indicated that it expects that investment advisers who do not already include these types of provisions in their policies and procedures or processes in place will implement them "promptly, but in any event in advance of next year's proxy season."

Oh, and we're not done yet. Feast your eyes on this magical film from Voila Cinematic. It's amazing.
From the Bride… Kevin and I met when he moved from Arizona to Florida. I was working at a furniture store in Orlando, and he was a manufacturer's rep who would come in the store once a month. We would always talk when he would come in, and one day, I asked him what he was going to get my for my birthday. His response was, "What, are we dating?" I don't think either of us thought that day when he said those words, that two weeks later we in fact would be dating. Our first date was the weekend of the Florida/LSU game when I invited him to come from Tampa to Orlando to watch the game with me. Little did I know at the time, he was standing up his friends to drive an hour and a half away to watch this with me. Two years later, I had moved to Tampa to be with Kevin. Traveling to work between Orlando and the Bahamas, Kevin sneaked to Cincinnati, Ohio, to pick out an engagement ring. After a trip to Clearwater Beach and a sunset proposal, we went from, "What are we dating?" to "We are getting married!"
I had always envisioned our wedding being timeless, classic, and romantic. I wanted the color scheme to be soft and romantic, so we went with tones of ivory, champagne and soft pink. I was referred to Gina Leigh Photography from a college friend and immediately fell in love with her style. Gina shoots with film and is able to capture so much emotion, texture and feeling in every photograph. She also gave us guidance on what vendors would match our style. We could not have had such an amazing day with out all of our vendors.

Fastrack Desktop Game
Fast-paced game of disc-flinging requires speed and accuracy.
Fastrack is a frenetic desktop disc flinging game. Your goal is to shoot your five wooden discs into your opponent's half of the court. The catch? The opening is only a quarter-inch wider than your ammo.
Therefore, you must aim carefully as you pull back on the elastic band used to fire your discs. But don't dilly dally or you'll surely be bombarded and overwhelmed by your opponent. Ride the fine line between speed and accuracy to win the day.
All-wooden construction. Designed for two players ages 5+.
Features & specs
- Dimensions: 13.75" x 8.75" x 1"
- All-wooden game
- Includes track, 10 wooden discs, drawstring storage bag
- 2+ players
- Ages 5+
- Instruction manual Download (PDF) :
Watch our Fastrack Game video
Simple and addictive game
Fastrack doesn't require an inservice day to learn. The goal is to be the first to empty your court by flinging all of your wooden discs into your opponent's half of the court.
It sounds easy except for two "problems": 1) the hole through which you shoot your discs is only 1/4" wider than the disc and 2) your opponent will simultaneously try to overwhelm your side of the court with their discs.
Elastic cord = your weapon
Pull back one of your discs against your elastic cord, aim, and fire through the archway. Be the first to clear your side of the court and you win. Easier said than done.
Tiny opening requires precision; creates a frenzy
The opening through which you shoot your discs is 1.25" wide. The disc itself is only 1.0" wide. So, you've got to "aim small, miss small" if you want your discs to zoom through the opening.
You'll find that staying patient and focused as you line up your shot becomes increasingly difficult as your opponent sends discs flying into your half of the court. It can become quite annoying when their successful shots slam into your discs mid-shot and cause them to veer off course.
To dominate, you need to walk a fine line between quickness and accuracy.
Traffic jams are common
The small opening can oftentimes "trap" a disc. No problem! Knock it through and into your opponent's court with one of your discs.
Buy this game. It's fun. And it may prevent leprosy.
Every once in awhile, it's a good idea to take off the headset and step away from the gaming console.
Face-to-face, real-life competition is essential if you don't want to become a hermit. And we all know that most hermits eventually become lepers (we read this somewhere on the internet). Seriously, parts of your body may fall off if you don't buy this game.*
* 100% true.
Please note that the Fastrack box includes the all-wooden track, ten wooden discs, and a small nylon drawstring bag to store the discs.
