In a development that should have a significant impact on how primary storage is addressed by enterprise applications, Micron Technology today announced that memory that makes use of DDR4 packaging to provide access to 8GB of persistent Flash storage is now available in production quantities.
Ryan Baxter, senior manager of business development for Micron, says 8GB DDR4 NVDIMM modules will provide the performance attributes on traditional memory using Flash memory to provide a form of persistent storage. While it may take a while for server vendors to incorporate DDR4 NVDIMM into servers, the implications for both Flash memory installed on a card as well as traditional storage arrays are likely to be profound.
Instead of having to contend with multiple types of I/O bottlenecks to optimize storage performance, applications will be able to count on having 8GB of NVDIMM storage instantly available. That may not eliminate the need for other types of Flash storage or even magnetic disks, but it does add another tier of primary storage that should serve to make applications faster by another several orders of magnitude.
Ultimately, IT organizations will soon have to rethink how reads and writes are processed in a world where multiple tiers of persistent memory will soon be routinely available. In the meantime, IT organizations would be well-advised to revisit data center plans for the future, if for no reason than the amount of space, energy and cooling they think might be needed could very well prove to be even less than they are currently consuming.

I wondered what the men at that time must have been thinking.
I thought about the mothers back home praying every day for good news, for safe return of their sons and husband and brothers.
The first shot was fired and the melee began.
No turning back now.
Smoke began to fill the battlefield and made the scene into a hazy image.
It all was so surreal.
Men fell, wounded or killed.
Cannons boomed, the repercussion so strong.
Smoke rings rose through the trees.Can you imagine being there?
Can you imagine aiming at another man and firing?
It must have been so emotional and difficult for the young men who had never even left their homes before.
Some gazed around in a daze.
Others bowed heads or knelt to attend to the wounded or dead.
The battle ended, the wounded tended, the dead gathered.
The wounded were not just those lying on the battlefield who had been shot, but all the men and boys who witnessed the death of another.
The mothers, daughters, sisters, relatives home waiting were also wounded.
All were wounded in their hearts, souls and minds.
Scars that would never heal.

John Campbell, chairman at Glenrath Farms, said it was a 'great honour' to receive a knighthood
John Campbell, chairman of Scottish borders poultry enterprise Glenrath Farms, has received a knighthood for services to farming and charitable service to entrepreneurship.
Mr Campbell said he was 'highly delighted' to receive his knighthood.
"I was surprised and consider it a great honour.
"Only two Scots got a knighthood, the other was Andy Murray," he said.
"Not many farmers get this honour."
Mr Campbell and his wife, Cathy, established the farm in 1959 and it now produces around 1.5 million eggs per day. Mr Campbell was a first generation farmer, the son of a butcher from Mull of Kintyre.
"It has been a wonderful year. In July, I was made an honorary fellow of the Scottish Agricultural College and I received Poultry Person of the Year."
Looking ahead to the New Year, Mr Campbell said: "In 2017, there is a huge challenge within the egg industry to get out of caged eggs.
"We are reacting quite dramatically, pulling out of battery cages and into barn eggs," he said.
"Our customers are big supermarkets and we have a very good relationship. We have found them to be fair and good."

Constantine's Sons
Peoples on the Move
Fall of the Western Roman Empire (Rostra Vandalica)
Constantine appointed four Caesares (his three sons and one of his nephews), thus
formally following the rules of the Tetrarchy system set by Diocletian. But the sky
of Constantinople did not foster family harmony: Constantine died in May 337 and
already by September Constantine's nephew had been killed. The three sons proclaimed themselves Augusti: they had very similar names:
Constantine II (the elder brother), Constantius II, Constans.
In 340 Constantine II attacked Constans, who had set his residence in Rome; Constantine II was
defeated and killed. The two remaining brothers defined their areas of
responsibility and residences: Constantius II took care of the eastern part of the empire from Constantinople and Constans
of the western one from Rome. They both had to deal with external threats from respectively the Persian Sassanids and German tribes along the Rhine border.
In 350 Magnentius, the general in charge of the Roman legions in Gaul, was proclaimed emperor by his troops and soon after Constans was abandoned by his supporters and killed. Constantius II, after having tried to come to terms with Magnentius had eventually to march against the usurper who was defeated in one of the bloodiest battles in Roman history. Thus Constantius II became the sole ruler of the empire.

TRIUMFATORI SEMPER AUG(usto).
ROMANI D(omino). N(ostro). FL(avio). IULIO
AC TRIUMF(atori) SEMP(er) AUG(usto).
Constantius II spent most of his life in Constantinople or on the battlefield; he nevertheless decided to show his devotion to the ancient capital of the empire by relocating in 357 a tall and old obelisk from Thebes to Rome. The obelisk (now in Piazza S. Giovanni in Laterano) was placed at Circo Massimo and is regarded as the last addition to the monuments of Ancient Rome.
Constantius II soon run into trouble in trying to contain the pressure of a coalition of
German tribes (the Alamanni - all men) on the Roman cities along the Rhine
and at the same time fighting the Sassanids at the eastern border of the empire.
In 355 he entrusted Julian, a young member of his family, with the task or
regaining control of the cities along the Rhine, while he took care of the Sassanid threat.
Julian defeated the Alamanni at Argentoratum (Strasbourg) and took prisoner their king. Constantius II asked Julian to send him troops, as the Sassanids had invaded the Roman part of Mesopotamia. The troops at the orders of Julian refused to relocate and acclaimed their leader Augustus.
Civil war was avoided only by the death in 361 of Constantius II, who, in his last will, recognized Julian as his rightful successor.
(left) Sol Invictus (from a Roman sarcophagus); (right) inscription on a Christian tomb
Julian is known as "The Apostate" because he abandoned the Christian faith he had been raised in.
Julian tried to restore the traditional eclecticism of the Roman State in religious matters by reverting some edicts of Constantius II who had been a fervent Christian (albeit a follower of the Arian heresy) and who had greatly favoured the Christian faith.
Usually these decisions are attributed to the fact that Julian completed his education in Ephesus and Athens where he got in touch with some Neoplatonic philosophers. However another important factor behind them was the fact that Julian's Gallic troops who had supported him against Constantius II were in general followers of Sol Invictus, a monotheist belief centred around the god Sun. In 362 Julian issued a decree of tolerance, which tried to curtail the growing influence of the Christian churches. He then moved against the Sassanids to retake the towns which Constantius II had lost. His campaign was successful, but inconclusive. He was wounded during a small fight and after a few days he died on June 26, 363.
For centuries the Romans had managed to contain the pressure of the Germanic
tribes living beyond the Rhine/Danube line. In the IIIrd century tribes moved from Sweden
towards the Black Sea; their name Goths is generally attributed to the Swedish
island of Gotland. They crossed the Danube in 263, but by 271 they were driven back:
a part of them, Visigoths (Western Goths) settled in Dacia (Romania), while other tribes returned towards today's Ukraine
and were called Ostrogoths (Eastern Goths).
For nearly a century the Visigoths lived in relative peace with their Roman neighbours and they converted to the Christian faith in its Arian version.
In 370 circa the Visigoths asked permission to relocate south of the Danube into today's Bulgaria because nomadic tribes (eventually known as Huns) from Asia had moved into Europe and had dislodged the Visigoths from their usual pasture areas.
At that time the empire was ruled by two brothers: Valentinian I and Valens. Valentinian I usually resided either in Milan or in Augusta Treverorum (today's Trier) to better control the northern border of the empire; Valens took care of the eastern border and set his residence in Constantinople. Valens who was a supporter of the Arian heresy and who had great difficulties in recruiting and paying enough soldiers to defend Syria from the attacks of the Sassanids, agreed to the Visigoths' request in the hope that they could provide him with cheap mercenary troops.
What was planned to be a controlled migration soon became an invasion as the Ostrogoths joined the Visigoths south of the Danube and also because behind the formidable barrier constituted by the river and the fortified towns on its right bank there was no other line of defence.
Very soon relations between the Goths and the locals became tense: the main towns of Moesia (Bulgaria) and Thracia (European Turkey) were raided and Constantinople was threatened. Valens returned from Syria to Constantinople, but rather than relying on the city walls and on the fleet to smother the attack of the Goths, he decided to engage them. At Adrianopolis (Edirne) in 378 the imperial troops were defeated and the emperor himself lost his life.
Foro Romano: inscription celebrating the emperors Gratian, Valentinian II and Theodosius for a restoration (near Basilica Julia)
Text of the inscription:
L. VAL. SEPT. BASS(us) V(ir) C(larissimus) PRAEF(ectus) URB(is) MAIESTATI EORUM DICATU(m).
In the western part of the empire Emperor Valentinian I and after his death in 375 his elder son Gratian managed to control the pressure of hostile tribes along the Rhine border and maintained the control of the right bank of the Danube in Austria and Hungary. Their religious policy in favour of the Christians was carefully crafted to avoid losing the support of that part of the population and of the troops who still believed in other faiths.
Rome was under the administration of a praefectus Urbis, appointed by the emperor: he took care of the maintenance and restoration of its main buildings including some of the temples: an inscription on Portico degli Dei Consenti celebrates a restoration by the praefectus Urbis completed in 367, an indication that in Rome many people still believed in the old gods.
At the death of Valens in 378 Gratian (who shared the control of the western part of the empire
with his half-brother Valentinian II, who was then a child of seven) appointed as co-emperor Theodosius,
a general from Spain who had a good knowledge of the lower Danube region, having commanded the Roman legions there for several years.
Theodosius was charged with the containment of the Goths who had by now permanently settled south of the Danube.
Theodosius realized that he had not enough strength to drive them out and so in 382 he signed a foedus (agreement) with them by which they were entitled to live in and rule with their own laws a territory within the borders of the empire: they had no full citizen rights, but they could be part of the Roman army under the command of their own leaders. This agreement paved the way for the gradual dissolution of the Roman army based on a compulsory draft and its replacement by mercenary troops.
In 383 Gratian was killed while trying to crush a rebellion by Magnus Maximus, commander of the Roman legions in Britain: for a few years there were three co-emperors: Valentinian II had the control of Italy and Africa, Theodosius that of the eastern provinces and Magnus Maximus ruled over Britain, Gaul and Spain. In 387 Maximus made an attempt to invade Italy, but in 388 he was defeated by Theodosius who then stayed for some years in Italy and in particular in Milan, where Ambrose, the local bishop, had a great influence on him to the point that Theodosius issued a series of decrees to actually implement the 380 Edict of Thessalonica which declared the Christian faith (in its Nicene creed) the sole religion of the Roman Empire.
Romano-Germanic Museum of Cologne: inscription celebrating the repair of a building by a local officer at the initiative of Arbogastes during the reigns of Emperor Theodosius (and his son Arcadius) and Emperor Eugenius. Assumed full text: "[Salvis domini]s et Imperatoribus nost/[ris Fl(avio) Theodo]sio Fl(avio) Arcadio et Fl(avio) Eugenio / [vetustat]e conlabsam(!) iussu viri cl(arissimi) / [et inl(ustris) Arboga]stis comitis et instantia v(iri) c(larissimi) / [co]mitis domesticorum ei(us) / [a fundament]is ex integro opere faciun/[dam cura]vit magister pr(ivatae?) Aelius"
In May 392 Valentinian II committed suicide or was killed at the instigation of Arbogastes, the commander of the Roman legions in Gaul, who supported the appointment of Flavius Eugenius, an administrative officer of Roman birth. Theodosius reacted and with an army mainly constituted of Visigoths and other tribes which had resettled in the Balkan peninsula he marched against Arbogastes, whose troops were mainly pagan (as those who had remained attached to the old beliefs were eventually called by the Christians).
Victoria and Albert (left) and British Museum (right): two ivory panels which belonged to the family of Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (345-402), a Roman senator who tried to preserve the ancient beliefs; they show a traditional sacrifice on an altar and the apotheosis of an emperor (or of Symmachus); the third panel shows Bellerophon killing Chimera, a pagan myth which however Christians could see as the triumph of their faith
At the Battle of the River Frigidus in north eastern Italy Arbogastes was defeated and with him the last attempt of restoring the old religion. As a consequence the whole of northern Italy became Christian and the Visigoths resettled in today's Croatia and Hungary: Theodosius had managed to remove them away from Constantinople, but they were now at the doorstep of Italy.
Ephesus - Hadrian's Temple: relief portraying
Emperor Theodosius among the Olympian gods (now in the Museum of Ephesus): (1) Arcadius, Theodosius' son; (2) Artemis; (3) Theodosius' wife; (4) Theodosius; (5) Athene
Theodosius mainly devoted his attention to Constantinople where he built a Golden Gate and
several other monuments.
In Rome the praefectus Urbis celebrated the emperor by erecting statues to him in the Forum.
Notwithstanding his religious policy and belief, in Ephesus he was portrayed among the Olympian gods.
In 395 Theodosius died leaving the throne to his two young sons Arcadius and Honorius.
He placed Honorius (who was then eleven) under the tutelage of Stilicho,
a general who had helped him in raising the army with
which he had defeated Arbogastes. Although Theodosius did not mean to split the empire,
historians traditionally associate Arcadius and Honorius
with its division into a Western Roman Empire ruled by Honorius
and an Eastern Roman Empire ruled by Arcadius.
Stilicho managed to contain the threat of the Visigoths, who, led by King Alaric, had crossed the Alps in 402. Honorius, who had set his residence in Milan, had to move to Ravenna which was protected by marshes and was more easily defensible. In 402 Stilicho defeated Alaric at Pollentia in northern Italy forcing him out of Italy. Stilicho's father was a Vandal, a Germanic tribe who had settled on the right bank of the Danube, and an Arian; he mainly relied on commanders having the same background and faith; his influence on Honorius raised the envy of members of the court and over time Honorius himself got suspicious about his father-in-law (he had married Stilicho's daughter). Eventually in 408 Honorius relieved Stilicho from his duty and soon after the old general was killed. The officers and troops of Germanic origin were slain by the Italian components of the army: those who escaped asked Alaric to come to their rescue, thus the Visigoths crossed the Alps and without caring about Ravenna moved towards Rome. In September they stood outside its walls. Alaric eventually accepted to retreat and to allow supplies into the sieged city, but in 410 he was again surrounding Rome with his troops. On August 24 by bribing the Isaurian (from Cilicia) guards at Porta Ostiensis Alaric and his Visigoths broke into the streets of Rome and sacked the city for three days. They were searching for gold and silver and they found them in the temples to the old gods.
In the following years the Western Roman Empire collapsed; the Roman legions abandoned Britain, Germanic tribes moved into northern France and subsequently into Spain, while the Visigoths, after having sacked for a second time Rome, settled in southern France. The direct authority of Honorius at his death in 423 was limited to Italy and Africa (Tunisia).
Porta Tiburtina: upper part of the gate with inscription celebrating Arcadius, Honorius and Stilicho;
(right) Porta S. Sebastiano: cross celebrating Stilicho's victory against the Visigoths at the battle of Pollentia
Text of the barely visible inscription:
MUROS PORTAS AC TURRES (followed by the erased reference to Stilicho).
Between 401 and 403 Stilicho promoted the strengthening of the walls of Rome: some gates were closed, others were reduced in size or modified to form a sort of small castle (e.g. Porta Ostiensis). The height of the walls was almost doubled, but there were fewer platform for placing catapults and other defence engines.
The faith in Rome and in its resurrection was not however totally lost: a Roman citizen from southern France on his way back home in 415 wrote a poem on this subject which can be regarded as the best epitaph to the glory of Ancient Rome.
|Exaudi, regina tui pulcherrima mundi,
inter sidereos, Roma, recepta polos;
exaudi, genetrix hominum genetrixque deorum:
Non procul a caelo per tua templa sumus.
Te canimus semperque, sinent dum fata, canemus:
Sospes nemo potest immemor esse tui.
Rutilius Namatianus - De Reditu Suo - I:vv 47-52
|Hear me Rome, Queen of the world
and brightest jewel in the vault of Heaven.
Hear me, mother of men and gods:
your temples bring Heaven near;
we chant your praise as long as we have breath.
No man will ever be safe if he forgets you.
English translation by Harold Isbell
British Museum: four ivory panels with Christian subjects dated 420-430. They were bought in Rome in ca 1850 by Gábor Fejérváry, a Hungarian collector of antiquities, in particular ivories. They show that Rome was still a manufacturing centre of luxury goods, notwithstanding its political decline
The official fall of the Western Roman Empire is traditionally set at the year 476 when Odoacer,
the commander of the troops in control of Italy deposed Emperor Romulus
Augustus and sent to Constantinople the imperial insignia.
Romulus Augustus and the nine other emperors who preceded him were just puppets in the hands of the magister militum, the commander of the army. For twenty years (431-454) the strong man was Flavius Aetius, who having spent some years as hostage of the Huns, convinced some of their tribes to follow him in Italy. He initially managed to control his troops and with their help defeated the Visigoths and tried to regain control of Gaul.
In 451 Attila, leader of the Huns, invaded Gaul, but was repelled by Aetius and most probably while retreating towards its base in Hungary he raided northern Italy. According to the Christian tradition he met at the Po River an embassy led by Pope Leo I. Attila was warned by Leo not to cross the river: the pope's words and the miraculous vision in the sky of St. Paul and St. Peter threatening him with their swords convinced Attila not to go further. The image used as a background for this page shows Attila as portrayed by Alessandro Algardi in a gigantic relief.
Emperor Valentinian III personally killed Aetius in 454 at the court of Ravenna in what is considered to be his one and only fatal decision. Without Aetius' firm handling of the troops, Italy was left defenceless. In 455 Genseric, head of the Vandals, a Germanic tribe he had led to the conquest of Africa (Tunisia), landed at Ostia and easily conquered Rome. The sack which followed was so damaging that it granted the Vandals such a reputation that their name became a synonym for deliberate destruction.
Rome greatly relied upon supplies from Africa and so Ricimer, the strong man who had replaced Aetius, devoted his efforts at trying to regain control of that province. He later became an ally of the Vandals and in 472, when one of the puppet emperors rebelled, he laid siege to Rome and eventually sacked the city.
He died shortly afterwards in what was seen as a curse which had already caused the death of Alaric soon after his conquest of Rome.
Odoacer, the strong man who emerged after the death of Ricimer, chose not to rule through puppet emperors and after having deposed Emperor Romulus Augustus (an adolescent and maybe even a child) he sent back to Constantinople the imperial insignia and in return he was appointed dux Italiae by the Eastern Roman Emperor. Italy seemed set on the path which eventually transformed the kingdoms established by Germanic rulers in the former Roman provinces into some of the European nations (e.g. France, Spain, England).
Rostra Vandalica in Foro Romano
The last Roman victory was celebrated in 470 by adding a small wall to the Rostra where the Romans used to place the captured ships' bronze beaks. A modest inscription bearing the name of Ulpius Giunius Valentinus, praefectus Urbis, celebrated a naval fight against the Vandals which most likely had meant some more regular supplies for the still large population of Rome.

Black Line London's Best of 2014 Gallery.
It's impossible to really capture what Black Line London means to our family members, but we'll give it a go.
As 2014 draws to a close, here are some of our best bits – it might be a great photo, an important moment or just something that made us laugh.
We hope you had a great year…..see you in 2015.
January: Paul Deen, Paul Smernicki & Nico van der Westhuizen winter train under big skies in Andalucia.
February: No Wokingham Half? No problem! We arranged our own in Richmond Park.

May: Ironman Mallorca 70.3 – Ashley, Paul and Team Freespeed's Matt Molloy spend the last 5k of the run discussing the 4th discipline: How to execute the perfect photo finish.
May: It's not all Ironman. Captured by husband Carel, Alecia makes final adjustments before the North Downs Way ultra marathon.
July: The self-proclaimed 'handsomest team in tri' dominate at Bananaman. They told me to write that.
August: Epitomising the BLL ethos 2 grown men, one of them looking like Malibu Ken, hold hands as Paul and Sam narrowly miss the podium in The Outlaw team relay. It should be noted they were a team of 2.

December: There is only one pic we could finish with. The world will soon be one person faster. Congrats Michael and Mary Collins for helping Black Line London grow……


text: Hypothetically speaking, let's assume that Tesla Motor's WhiteStar and BlueStar plans fail and the future of the automotive world is in the hands of the established big automakers. Not a pleasant thought. There is reason for optimism, though, as market economics are going to force things to happen. Mainly it's the effects of efficiency and scarcity at work. There are a great number of alternative-fuel technologies in development now and some will be in competition, eventually. Battery-electric vehicles: Limited mainly by battery technology. One can expect this situation to be improved with time, but it's somewhat doubtful that they'll ever match the energy density and affordability of other options. I think eventually we'll reach an equilibrium point, where BEVs have a total cost of ownership that's competitive with other options. Tesla just might make it happen sooner Biofuels: E85, E100, and biodiesel. Like food, it requires farmland, but then so does population growth. Since population growth isn't going to stop until we can't produce enough food, the only effect of biofuels is we'll hit that point sooner. It can be considered a long term solution because no non-renewable sources are required. Compressed Natural Gas: Efficient, but not renewable, so we'll run out eventually. Not a long-term solution. Coal to liquid: Not efficient (but could be an option of desperation). Won't work long-term as coal is not renewable. Hydrogen: Way more popular than it really deserves to be, perhaps because it's only tailpipe emission is pure water. The only renewable source is electrolysis of water, which is inefficient (thus expensive), and storing hydrogen is difficult (and thus expensive). Since it's renewable, it can be considered a long-term solution, but it'll always be more expensive than other options, thus limiting use. Oil-based fuels: These will linger for a long time, perhaps 100 years or more, but the increasing scarcity caused by its non-reneweability means that inevitably it will go away. So, we're on a path that will lead to the competition of Hydrogen, Biofuels, and BEVs Hydrogen will lose because of its expensiveness. So Biofuels and BEVs are it. The future is thus an oil-free economy even without Tesla's help. Biofuels, BEVs, and hybrids of the two will take over. If quick-charge is fully developed, then BEVs will dominate. At least, that's what I think. Any comments or corrections? -Ryan / Kardax

Gregor Samsa has awoken with two problems. Not only has he somehow been transformed into a huge cockroach, but he has also been transported into the wacky world of Charles Schulz's Peanuts gang. This development comes courtesy of R. Sikoryak, a master of such world colliding.
I have not yet obtained a copy of Sikoryak's Masterpiece Comics book published by Drawn and Quarterly, but I soon will, and I think it's safe to recommend it to literary-minded comics fans, based on this excerpt first published in Raw Vol. 2, Issue 2 (1990) and another story I read in Drawn and Quarterly #4 (2001) in which the enterprising artist retells Arthur Miller's The Crucible using Little Lulu characters. Fascinating juxtapositions.
R. Sikoryak's website is here.

Many people lack a factual understanding of events in our region because the media report them inadequately. We blog here because our daughter Malki, murdered at the age of 15 in a restaurant massacre in Jerusalem, was a victim of jihadist hatred and barbarism. For jihadism and terrorism to end in Israel, New York, Madrid, London and everywhere else, people first need to understand the scale on which it is happening and why. This ongoing war is killing us.

23-Apr-12: Another Gazan rocket explodes in the open fields of southern Israel but that was not the intention
a report of another Qassam rocket that was fired by the terrorists of the Gaza Strip into Israel, seeking any Jewish target: a person, a schoolhouse, a bus, a car. This one exploded in open fields in the Shaar Hanegev region, the same place as the one fired yesterday and basically unreported by any of the mainstream news media. Thankfully there are no reports at this stage of injuries or property damage but the thugs who fire these devices and place their lives at risk - given the technologically-advanced state of Israel's defensive systems - do so because they hope for a 'better' outcome. Their religious leadership fills their vacuous minds with visions of Jewish dead and Jewish damage. That's what their culture encourages to aspire towards. No strategic goals. No military attainments. No rules of law or any other kinds of rules other than the rules of the jungle. This is why they are rightly called, and must be treated as, terrorists.

I find myself buying a lot more supplies online, these days. While I personally try to live by the credo of spend-it-where-you-make-it, the sad truth is that there are fewer and fewer brick-and-mortar stores that sell the tools I prefer to use. I'd gladly buy my tools from the one or two remaining mom & pop paint stores near me, but they keep very little inventory on hand, and they don't carry the brands I like. The major paint-store chain nearby that will special-order non-stock items for me is so expensive, that it's often cheaper for me to buy from an online supplier, even with the shipping costs added in.
Here are some examples of recent online purchases I've made.
I like two different models of smoothers. One is made by Shur-Line. It's my everyday smoother for residential work. The other is made by Zinsser. The plastic is very dense, but the tool is still a little bit flexible. It's the smoother I'm most likely to use on commercial vinyl, where the texture of the commercial vinyl would quickly wear down the Shur-Line smoothers, which are made from softer plastic than the Zinsser smoothers.
The Zinsser smoothers are carried by some True Value stores, but good luck finding them in stock. Shur-Line tools used to be carried by my mom & pop store, in New Jersey, but since I've moved 400 miles west, I've yet to find a store that carries them. I could go looking for them, but with gas at nearly $4 a gallon, at what point is it counter-productive to drive around hoping to find a specific tool in stock? Yes, I could telephone all the paint and hardware stores within thirty miles of me, but the odds of getting someone on the phone who knows exactly what I'm looking for are pretty slim.
Enter thepaintstore.com. Not only do they sell both brands of smoother, but they sell them in bulk. The Zinsser smoothers are packaged (6) to a box, in multiple colors. The Shur-Line smoothers are (20) to a box. I ordered two boxes of the Zinsser smoothers, and one box of the Shur-Line smoothers. With shipping, the total was around $52. That's 32 smoothers, delivered to my door, for $1.62 a piece. I won't have to buy smoothers again for at least a year, maybe longer.
#9 Blades
I had thought that good razor blades went the way of pagers and Walkmans. Nobody seemed to be making them any longer. I'd always heard word of the revered PAL blades, and had even seen a couple of relic boxes in Roger Coupal's garage, in Springfield, Mass., once. A single store in Long Island was rumored to stock them. None of my normal supply stores knew of them, and their distributors were clueless, as well. They didn't even turn up in search-engine results, at least not at first. After digging deeper, I found a warehouse source in Texas which sold them by the 50-box case for about $280, plus actual shipping. For me, that worked out to just under $7 a box, which — for the best #9 blades you'll ever use — is a very good price. I bought my first case in August 2010, and I didn't run out of blades until the autumn of 2012. (I use Tajima snap-offs for most of my cuts; #9 blades are for my table trims and doublecuts.) Here are the elusive PAL blades, available by emailing email@example.com.
Removal Solutions * Drywall Sealers
There are some products which simply aren't available in stores, at least not nationally. Two west-coast products that I rely on are Safe And Simple Removal Solution, and Scotch Paint's Draw-Tite No-Run. Fortunately, both can be ordered from a single supplier: safeandsimple.com. Unfortunately, shipping is pricey, due to the weight of the products, but such is the cost of being in business. I find both products to be worth their weight in gold, so I don't much mind paying a premium to have them shipped. As far as I'm concerned, there is no other removal solution that even comes close to working as well as Safe And Simple, and when I need it, I need it. Ditto, Draw-Tite. I use Gardz quite often, because it's a good product that's available locally, but it doesn't hold a candle to original Draw-Tite No-Run, which is a lot less less drippy and a lot less smelly. It's comforting for me to have the products I like on hand at all times.
Blankstock * Wheat Paste
Finally there are those products which you won't find on any store shelf, or in any distributor's catalog, because the vendors choose to direct-sell their goods to the end users. Among such items on my shop's shelves are cases of blankstock lining paper, in various widths, from wallliner.com; and bags of wheat paste, sold by Bob Kelly, of paper-hangings.com. There are instances when I don't know what type of material I'll be installing until I get to the job. If the material calls for liner and powdered wheat paste, it's good to be ready, because there's no "running out to the paint store" to pick up either of these two items.
In the old days, when wallpaper stores existed (and a tank of gas cost twenty bucks), you could usually find blankstock on the shelves, along with wheat paste, table trestles, straightedges, trimming wheels, and actual in-stock wallpaper. Those days are gone, but the sources for the tools of our trade are just a mouse-click away.

As I've reviewed in recent columns, massive security breaches have penetrated Fortune 500 companies and global governments over the last several years, pointing to major weaknesses in cloud security. In order to combat the multiplying types of threats, organizations will have to make some key changes to their management practices and security technologies.
I've pointed to some of the obvious needs for security policy and management including strong password security, antivirus systems, encryption, and two-factor authentication. But drilling deeper into next-generation security solutions, it's clear that even such increasingly sophisticated technology has to move deep into the cloud to combat the rising threat of cloud and Web-based threats.
Legacy network and computer security technology is inadequate, because it was built for a world of corporate IT fiefdoms, hosted on dedicated hardware over isolated networks. But security threats are now coming from everywhere – they exist in mobile workloads that flow continuously across clouds and the Web.
There are also cultural, management, and awareness issues in plugging these holes. Most systems today are manual and slowed by a chain of human decisions. A recent security study conducted by Osterman Research and Proofpoint indicated 94 percent of management surveyed said they were not well prepared to respond to a data breach and that 33 percent of organizations fail to involve the security team for a follow-up response in a rapid way.
The same research found that two-thirds of those surveyed rely on manual responses to data breaches and that only one-quarter of the respondents use automated systems for breach discovery and remediation.
Today's IT security infrastructure is inflexible and overly manual. The key to improving responses to threats and building a cloud-based defense demands a more automated, network-based response.
The analogy I like to use: If you are afraid of a terrorist attack, do you think locking the door and hiding under the bed is the way to protect yourself? No. You need constant satellite and data surveillance.
So how can we change the way we respond to data security threats? Here are some of the top trends in cloud security:
Cultural adaptation
Many of the past security breaches have revealed major organizational blindspots toward persistent threats. The recent hacks have rattled the boards of major Fortune 500 companies, making them aware of the business risks, liabilities, and privacy concerns. Although cultural awareness is shifting in the boardroom, many organizations need to review their security policies and educate their teams about the threats and possible remedies.
Real-time threat monitoring
It's become clear that companies and individuals need to become aware of the rapid evolution of security threats. There is a need to adopt security technology that is not static, but constantly updated to dynamically address threats as they unfold.
Advanced threat protection (ATP)
ATP, which builds a network of real-time data to look for emerging threats in the cloud, is one of the fastest growing areas of cloud security. With the advent of cloud, most of the data is "out there" – in a data center, in a private or public cloud, or on users' devices. Systems need to be installed that can analyze activity in the cloud to identify suspicious activity.
Security analytics
How do systems become more responsive and automated? A combination of security analytics tools and software-defined networking will help. Hundreds – sometimes thousands – of malicious cyberattacks are occurring every day. These attacks are often global, distributed, and sophisticated. Given that much security technology is static and reliant on human monitoring, this will need to change.
Virtualization and segmentation
It's becoming clear that virtualizing networks can increase control of a cloud application or data center with software. This case study of a QTS security virtualization project, published by Hytrust, demonstrates how virtualization can increase security by simplifying the management of network access and control.
More pervasive encryption
A new trend in optical networks is encrypting optical transmissions. This is an example of encryption reaching farther into the network and systems than ever before. IT managers are also examining their policies and tools for encrypting stored data, including on cloud servers and even on laptops. Encryption is a key tool in security, and its use will grow.
Security information and event management (SIEM)
SIEM tools are growing in importance, especially in the financial and healthcare markets where compliance is vital. This technology helps the management team gain security and operational awareness by monitoring events and logging IT networks and systems.
Real-time end-point security
With the proliferation of end-point devices, especially mobile devices, the user device has become a major entry point for malware and security breaches. Technology tools that can be installed to monitor and remediate threats comprise a growing area of interest.
Now that it's clear that major security breaches are becoming widespread and problematic, how does one stop them? The answer comes in the wide variety of security technologies I've listed above. But most importantly, management needs to figure out how and why they need to be implemented. Check out our security products directory for more information – or our "2015 SDx Infrastructure Security Landscape Report." Our new security report will be coming out in June.

Do you want to feel good and look young, energetic, lively and healthy? Are you prone to depression and mood swings?
Then forget taking pills and go for bananas! It is not a folklore or myth that banana makes people feel good. Research has shown that eating two bananas provide enough energy for a five-kilometer walk.
One large banana contains 602 milligram of potassium and has only 140 calories, two grams of protein and four grams of fiber. Other vitamins and minerals are a full range of B Vitamins, 0.7mg of thiamine, .15mg of riboflavin, .82mg Niacin, .88mg Vitamin B6, 29mg of folic acid and 13.8mg of vitamin C. Banana also contains, magnesium, iron and zinc.
How much banana do you need? If you are diabetic, ensure that you do not take more than one banana a day or once in two days, depending on your health care provider's advice.
However, what I do recommend for diabetic patients is to boil the peels of banana and drink. For this, it suffices to boil peels of five bananas in one liter of water.
Please do not over boil. Simply heat up the water to 60 degrees centigrade [before the water gets to boiling point]. For those suffering from hypertension, it is recommended that they take two to three bananas daily.
However, if you are obese or prone to being overweight, you might consider not taking more than two bananas a day, as the high potassium content of banana makes it unsuitable for those who wish to lose weight.
Mothers should train their children to love eating banana as it is most suitable for young people, especially students.
However, be careful where you buy your banana from. Since adulteration has become the order of the day, your best protection is to know the source of any fruit you take.
When bananas are harvested when they are still green and then manipulated artificially to delay the ripening process, the chemical compositions are also altered. Nothing can replace banana that ripens naturally on the trunk. That is nature for you.
The peel of banana is traditionally used as an effective remedy for both external and internal ulcer. For internal ulcer, simply blend the peels of ripe banana in a blender and drink half a glass once daily for three days.
For external wounds, mash the peels into a paste and apply on the wound and expect to get a good results with 48 hours.
Banana peel can be used to whiten teeth. Use the inside of the peel to scrub your teeth daily for a few days and you will be surprised to see that it works better than most of the expensive teeth whitening powders out there.
Eating them could help lower blood pressure and reduce the risks of cancer and asthma.
For sores and fresh wounds, use the fresh peel of ripe banana peel to cover the wound. This helps to heal the wound than within a few days.

Award-winning restaurateur Martin Bosley has launched a new lunch menu designed to provide a more accessible and relaxed option for diners to enjoy the exceptional cuisine and service his eponymous restaurant is known for. The new lunch menu features small shared plates, including the signature seafood dishes that are a specialty of the restaurant.
"This is the most significant change to our menu in 10 years, without compromising our commitment to sourcing only the best seasonal produce available and to providing only sustainable seafood," said Mr. Bosley.
All the fish used at Martin Bosley's is certified by Friend of the Sea, an international standard guaranteeing that it is sustainably sourced.
"We have always had a focus on serving fresh, seasonal, local food and the shared plates approach means that we can be even more flexible in what we put on the menu to suit the weather and mood of the day," says Mr. Bosley.
In line with the menu's focus on accessibility and a more relaxed dining experience, more wines are available by the glass, carefully selected to match the food.
With plenty of carparking outside the restaurant and only 7 minutes from the CBD by car or taxi, Martin Bosley's restaurant provides a relaxed setting for a business or casual lunch.
The new lunch menu is available from 12 noon to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. Diners will also continue to have the option of ordering off the main a la carte menu for lunch.
