In March, more than 100 people fell ill from an E. coli outbreak that federal health officials now say is linked to ground beef. Here's information your can use year round to keep you safe from E-coli, Trichinosis, and Salmonella.
Before cooking any type of meat, you must find out what internal temperature must be reached for the meat to be safely eaten. This is important for several reasons.
The first, and most important, is that you don't want to give anyone food poisoning or a food-borne illness by undercooking the meat, or leaving the meat in the 'Danger Zone.'
The second is because you want to ensure that you are cooking your meat to your desired doneness (i.e. rare, medium-rare, medium, etc.) and not overcooking it.
Safe Internal Meat Temperatures
- Beef roasts 145 F
- Leg of lamb 145 F
- Whole chicken 165 F
- Chicken pieces (breasts or thighs)165 F
- Duck or goose 165 F
- Turkey 165 F
- Veal 145 F
- Pork roast or tenderloin 145 F
- Ground pork 160 F
- Fresh ham 160 F
- Fully cooked ham 140 F
- Fish 145 F
Food Danger Zone
So, what is the 'Danger Zone?' According to foodsafety.gov, the 'Danger Zone' is when foods are held between 40 F and 140 F for two or more hours.
Food should never be held at these temperatures because most bacteria will quite happily reproduce in that range.
These bacteria can cause food poisoning and food-borne illnesses, which in turn can make you very sick.
These bacteria reproduce very slowly, if at all, below 40 F and above 140 F. But note that the temperatures at which bacteria are killed vary according to the microbe.
For example, salmonella is killed by heating it to 131 F for one hour, 140 F for a half-hour, or by heating it to 167 F for 10 minutes. When it comes to killing microorganisms, both heat level and time affect the equation.
E-coli, Trichinosis, and Salmonella
There's also the issue of where the contamination is found. E-coli lives in the intestinal tract of animals, not the flesh.
The danger is that in the process of butchering a cow or chicken, some of the contents of the intestinal tract may contaminate the exposed flesh.
That's why it's relatively safe to sear a steak over high heat and still eat it rare or medium rare (125 to 135 F).
That's also why all ground meat should be cooked to 160 F because the external flesh and internal flesh are mixed together during grinding.
Trichinosis, which is a multi-celled parasite and not a bacterium, lives in the muscles and so searing the outside of, say, a pork chop won't kill any organisms in the meat, though it will taste better.
Trichinosis is killed at 135 F, so it's safe to eat pork if it's cooked to at least 140 or 145 F. Though do remember, if the pork is ground, it should be cooked to 160 F.
Salmonella can sometimes inhabit the meat of poultry, so cooking chicken and turkey to at least 160 F is wise.
Salmonella can also inhabit eggs and so there is a risk with soft-boiled eggs, omelets, and scrambled eggs if any part of the egg is left undone, like the yolk. Hence why pregnant women are advised not to eat these types of eggs.
Cooking Meat at Low Temperatures
It's safe to cook meat and vegetables at low temperatures for longer periods or higher temperatures for shorter periods. And it's almost always safer to sear meat over high heat before cooking it at lower temps.
For low-temperature cooking both for roasts and braises, it's a good idea to brown the meat first over medium-high heat (about 350 F) and then follow the recipe for cooking at a low temperature for a longer period of time.
Toxicity Factor
Heat alone isn't the only element in preventing food poisoning. There's also a toxicity factor. Some bacteria are simply more toxic than others, and some toxins hang around after the bacteria is dead.
Most people with healthy immune systems can ingest a bit of salmonella or listeria and their systems will kill it off without them even noticing.
Botulism toxins, though, are highly potent and dangerous, and even a small dose of the bacteria can have significant effects.
Botulism occurs mostly in improperly canned goods, but can also appear in homemade sausage. Never take a chance on something that might contain botulism.
USDA Food Safety Guidelines
If you want to be exceptionally safe, follow the USDA food safety guidelines and cook everything to at least 160 F.
Again, never hold hot food below 140 F, and make sure to cool food you're going to refrigerate quickly to at least 40 F, so that you aren't flirting with the Danger Zone.
Wash hands well before and after preparing food.

More Information:
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Current Warnings and Travel Advisories:
More than 100 people have fallen ill from an E. coli outbreak that the federal health officials now say is linked to ground beef.
A total of 109 people in six states have been infected with the strain of Escherichia coli O103. No deaths or cases of kidney failure have been reported, but 17 have been hospitalized, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.
The infections date back to March, but the common cause of the illnesses was previously unknown. The CDC said health officials are working to determine a common supplier, distributor or brand of the ground beef.
Kentucky and Tennessee have seen the highest number of cases, with 54 and 28, respectively. Other states affected are Indiana, Georgia, Ohio and Virginia, the CDC says.

Are you planning a trip? You might be inspired to after checking out the 15 best cities in the world for vegan food.
15 Of The Most Vegan-Friendly Cities In The World
1. New York City
The Big Apple is one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the world. Not only is it packed with meat-free and plant-based restaurants, but many of its non-vegan restaurant menus are also plating up plant-based options. If you're self-catering, many supermarkets – like Lifethyme, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's- throughout the city have shelves brimming with vegan food.
If you're visiting the "City That Never Sleeps," be sure to check out one of these five vegan-friendly restaurants:
1. By Chloe – a vegan fast-casual restaurant with six locations in West Village, Flatiron, Soho, Rock Center, Williamsburg, and Seaport District.
2. Seasoned Vegan – a soul food restaurant based in Harlem.
3. Champs Diner – classic diner food with a vegan twist, based in Brooklyn's Bushwick Neighbourhood.
4. Avant Garden – an upscale vegan restaurant with two locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
5. Beyond Sushi – a vegan sushi chain with locations across Manhattan.
2. Bristol
Bristol has a vegan scene to rival any capital city around the world. Located in the southwest of the UK, the maritime city has landed in the top 10 of many lists of the world's best vegan-friendly destinations. Most recently, Chef's Pencil named it as the number one destination for plant-based food in the world, edging out major European capitals like Berlin and London.
The popular destination is even home to vegan vending machines. Earlier this year, Vegan Vend launched Violet and Daisy — two purely plant-based vending machines — in the Galleries shopping center and studio complex the Island.

3. London
Alongside Bristol, London is one of the UK's most vegan-friendly cities.

Brick Lane's monthly festival night celebrates everything plant-based, with live music, DJs, and lots and lots of indulgent, creative, tasty vegan food. If you prefer to keep things a bit more quiet and relaxed, you could take a trip up the OXO tower for a spot of vegan afternoon tea.
Whatever you fancy, London should be able to deliver. If you're planning a meal out, here are five top vegan restaurant picks:
1. Temple of Seitan – a vegan fried chicken fast food-style restaurant with locations in Camden and Hackney.
2. Vantra Loungevity – lounge bar serving steamed and raw vegan food on Wardour Street.

SBA Small Business
The U.S. Small Enterprise Administration (SBA) is a significant supply of financing for small companies in the United States. Additional, the SBA might make grants to the eligible and qualified middleman lenders for use to provide intensive advertising, management, and technical help to their debtors. In any case it would be best to add an accountant, or a great enterprise accounting program to your price range so you'll be able to accurately observe and review your expenditures.
Even when the lender is a good friend of yours, your relationship is strictly business as he/she demands assurance of reimbursement. For SBA loans between $25,000 and $50,000, maximum charges are not permitted to exceed 3.25 {9dca35c433c78ca9f4885825519874d492cdd998d4bbd6b91c464ad5f6a1ef93} (for loans that mature in less than seven years) and 3.75 percent (for loans with longer phrases of maturity).
Concern for small business intensified throughout World Warfare II, when large industries beefed up production to accommodate wartime defense contracts and smaller companies were left unable to compete. These loans, like different SBA loans, are ensures to lenders, not direct loans to businesses.
Usually, any enterprise eligible underneath the SBA's common warranty program will be eligible. A enterprise can qualify for the loan even if the yearly …Read More »

There are many who sat, "Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!"
Psalm 4: 6
This is the plea or the cry that should be going out today from every corner of the world, for they are all darkened and each of us is in need of light to show the way home to God's peace and secure rest. Like sailors caught in an unexpected storm or airplane pilots when weather closes in, the world around us is swirling with fierce clouds of doubt, despair, and danger. They are driven by the unrighteous anger that has become the rallying cry of our day, and this hazardous environment is stirred up by our desires to control all of life in a manner that we see as advantageous to ourselves rather than in one that is responsive to God's Word and will. It is no wonder that this sort of world is a harsh and a hard place to dwell. This is a landscape that even its own Creator must find hard to recognize.
Yet, the beauty that was molded by that same creative hand is present, and the glory of the Creator is not lost or driven away by our godless thoughts and actions. Those exquisite shapes, subtle shadings, and awe-inspiring radiance are simply obscured beneath this world's false substitutes for their righteousness and truth. When these same substitutes fail to provide what our hearts, minds, and souls actually need for nourishment and for growth, people begin to search for new answers to their needs and desires. Sometimes this searching leads in the direction of God and His Word. At the same time, the Lord is continually reaching out to all of this world and to each of its inhabitants with His unfailing love, grace, and redemptive offering of Himself as the answer to all longing and need.
In Christ, we have the light of the Lord to guide our steps into that safe harbor that we all desire. Through Christ alone we can come into the presence of God and shelter in His all-encompassing wisdom and truth. Turning away from this world and from its loud but shallow enticements, we will encounter opposition, troubling relational differences, and hardships and trials of various kinds. However, in so doing, we will also be stepping into the unending light of the glory of God, and it will illuminate a new path for us to follow and an infinitely better direction for our hearts and our minds to turn in our needful search for that safe place to shelter when the storm becomes too strong for us to withstand. Christ brings us into the center of good in all of its forms and expressions. Christ directs our steps along a way where He transforms the darkest of hours into the radiance of new dawn as the truth of His Word grants the Lord's confident peace to our souls so that we are empowered to live fully and openly for Christ without fear of the stormy and troubled landscape that surrounds us.

This week's word was everyone's favorite - WAIT. This is not typically my favorite word, in fact, I don't like to even think about it because more often than not I want what I want when I want it, and I wanted this YESTERDAY, not later - not tomorrow - how about now?
But, as God would have it, this week's challenge was to meditate and ponder on the word "WAIT" and see what God would show us individually about said word. Well, I was in no rush to investigate the word, so I decided to wait (how easy it is to wait when I want to, though, huh?) and think about it off and on for the next few days. Then, it hit me. The verse was there all along. I see it every day because it is hanging on my front door. But, I never really "saw" it, kwim? So, anyway, I did my layout about it and here it is for all to see. Let me know what you think about the word WAIT once you read my epiphany.

|A really nice pub in a pleasant west country village. Good selection of ales, well kept, and a nice selection of whiskies and other premier spirits. Pleasant company and good food complete the package.

|We stopped off from the A303 whilst travelling back from a festival and were really pleased with this little gem. The food was really tasty - especially the home cooked chips with the lamb burger. The beer was well kept and a great choice.....shame we will miss the upcoming beer festival :-(
There was plenty of choice for seating (bar, restaurant) and a fantastic outdoor area with large climbing wall and giant noughts and crosses for the kids.

|Large and friendly pub. Very handy for the David Hall. Separate dining room but food also served in the bar and beer garden. T.V. screens showing mainly sport, but you can sit where they don't intrude.
I had the Otter, which was nicely kept. Large range of Cider also on.
The food was good, reasonably priced and large portions.
Well worth a visit to explore the very pretty village.

|Nice pub in the centre of the lovelly hamstone village of Suth Petherton. Ales were first class, and the place is big enough to have diners and sports on the tv together with darts etc without one annoying the other.
Worthy of being on the Somerset CAMRS's pub trail (which is more than can be said of many others on the list)

Cody is surprised by a horror film starring Shenae Grimes-Beech.
The less you know about director Tony Wash's film The Rake, the more effective it's going to be for you - and I would recommend not even paying attention to the DVD cover art before watching the movie. Go into this one having no idea what might be in store for you.
That's how it was for me. All I knew before watching the movie was that Wash directed it, Shenae Grimes-Beech had a starring role in it, and it was a horror movie. I didn't know what type of horror movie it was, and had no clue why it would be called The Rake, but I was guessing it wasn't actually a reference to the lawn care / gardening tool.
I'm not going to delve too far into spoilers, but I will discuss the story and characters a bit.
The film begins at Christmastime in the '90s, when young kids Ashley and Ben witness the murder of their parents at the hands of one of their psychiatrist father's patients, a man who believed he was infected with an evil entity. This man then killed himself in front of the kids.
Jump ahead a couple decades and Ashley (Grimes-Beech) is, understandably, still deeply troubled by those events. Fresh from a stay in a psych ward, Ashley drops in on her adoptive sister Nicole (Rachel Melvin) and her husband Andrew (Joey Bicicchi)... and it isn't long before we realize that Ashley still isn't ready to be out in the world without medical supervision. So we start to wonder - is she going to snap and follow in the killer's footsteps? Ben (Stephen Brodie) is also hanging around, so maybe Ashley's more obvious troubles are a fake-out and he will be the one who gives in to insanity. Then again, Andrew is an irrationally angry douchebag when faced with Ashley's issues, so maybe he's the one to keep an eye on.
What eventually happens in Nicole and Andrew's home totally threw me for a loop.
The movie takes its time building up to that, though. Written by Wash and Jeremy Silva, The Rake feels like a drama for most of its running time, and the cast proves to be quite capable of handling the dramatic material. I was especially impressed by Grimes-Beech, as this was basically my first time really getting to watch her act. I know she was on the 90210 reboot, but the only thing she has been in that I've watched was the opening sequence of Scream 4, and that went by quick. Now I'm looking forward to seeing more of her work.
This was a dark and twisted tale that had me guessing for the better part of an hour before it descended into total madness. I was a bit disappointed when it reached an abrupt ending, but it was worth taking the ride up to that point.
The Rake is available on DVD, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

You are NOT in a Relationship and He is NOT Your Man!
Women write the "Dear Ms. HeartBeat" advice column frequently, seeking help understanding why their latest "relationship" went sour. Most times after digesting the facts, it's clear as the nose on your face that there WAS no relationship at all. Therefore, the writer's expectations of fidelity, commitment or involvement were totally misplaced. In other words, don't get it twisted woman… he ain't trying to be with you like that!
I'd like to share with you the three primary mistakes women make differentiating between sex-based convenience associations and loving committed relationships:
#1 Women Put Too Much Stock on Words
One of the primary tools the player has in his arsenal is a smooth tongue. Words of love flow from his lips, often within hours or days of meeting. A woman desperate for someone to call her own will latch onto those words like a life raft.
"I have a boyfriend and he says he loves me but the problem is he never shows it. I mean, we speak with each other once every week or two. When we meet up we speak like strangers, and he just starts to do physical things. I really don't know whether he just wants me for my body or if really loves me, although he says he does."
Talk is cheap and means absolutely nothing unless a man's words and actions are in sync. In this case, his mouth is saying one thing but his behavior saying something entirely different. Players can run game using words for months on end, but it is very difficult for them to maintain a game with his behavior for more than a few days.
Steer clear of early sexual involvement to avoid being set up as a "booty call," no matter how many times he professes to love you. Stay sharp, watch, look and listen carefully. If there is ever a conflict and his words aren't matching what is happening, believe what a man DOES, not what he SAYS.
#2 Women Confuse Online Flirtations With Relationships
From its initial launch in the early 1990s, the perception of online dating has changed from wholly negative ("only desperate people do it"), to a
fully acceptable and popular way to be introduced to eligible singles. That is where it should end however, at the introduction phase. What started online has to be taken offline and into the real world as soon as possible.
"I've been seeing a guy online for about 3 years. He is very cool and friendly and seems like everything I want. But he always wants me to talk dirty or to type dirty love letters. In the beginning it was funny, but now it's getting old. He's supposed to come out this summer to meet, but he's always saying he's gonna come meet me then makes up an excuse a few weeks
before. When I have the guts to tell him off he gets me back by telling me he misses me and loves me. I really want to make this work. I don't want to think I've wasted 3 years of my life and time on this guy!"
No matter how commonplace the fantasy of an Internet boyfriend may be, the reality is that you CANNOT DATE SOMEONE BY COMPUTER! Nothing this writer shared about her "boyfriend" sounds the least bit sincere or realistic. The man likes "hot chat" and has her around strictly as an outlet for his strange proclivities.
The Internet allows guys like this to string dozens of lonely women along with fraudulent information, flowery words and phony promises to get what they want. Women also need to understand they DO NOT have the power to "make this work." It is out of your hands because HE is calling the shots. HE gets to decide if he will see you or not. HE gets you to stay involved with him by telling you what you want to hear. HE gets and you give in these very unhealthy situations.
#3 Women Jump to Conclusions About Commitment
One young woman was very hurt when she mentioned to a fellow she'd been spending time with that their "three month anniversary" was coming up. Astonished,the guy retorted "anniversaries are for people in relationships… we aren't in a relationship!"
In her mind the fact that they'd spent three months in each other's bed and eaten out a few times meant something important was happening. To him the time spent meant nothing more than reasonably consistent companionship and friendly sex.
Women need to stop assuming that the time they spend with a man means anything more than what is happening in that moment. If you were to see him out with someone else, or find out he was involved with another woman, it is inappropriate to angrily declare that he "cheated."
Reality is that you are both single and available to date others until you sit down and discuss commitment and a future together. Be very clear on what being a couple means to you, and what your goal is for the relationship. If you haven't yet had such a conversation, YOU DO NOT HAVE A BOYFRIEND.
This also applies if he says he has no interest in anything serious and just wants to "have fun" or "be friends." Believe him – don't waste time trying to change his mind! Assuming that you have a committed connection based on nothing more than the number of days marked on a calendar will always lead to unnecessary heartbreak and frustration.
Adjusting starry-eyed romantic expectations of "happily ever after" will be a challenge for many women. But by following these three simple guidelines,you can enjoy his company without pressure to make the dates mean anything.
You will often discover that many of the men you formerly tried to "make it work" with are not at all what you are looking for. And when you don't waste time or emotional energy on Mr. Wrong, you're free to meet other available singles, one of whom may just be the man of your dreams.
Be the woman men adore and never want to leave – kids or not! Click here!

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham's Premier League position is not a surprise and fears the club cannot move forward quickly.
Last season's Champions League finalists are 11th in the table after 11 games, having won just three times in the top flight this season.
Away form has been a particular problem, with Spurs having not won on the road in the league since January 20, while injury-time goals have cost them in recent visits to Liverpool and Everton.
Their domestic travails have not been echoed in Europe, though, with Wednesday's 4-0 defeat of Red Star Belgrade meaning they will progress to the last 16 of the Champions League if they beat Olympiacos on matchday five.
Pochettino believes there are plenty of positive signs within the club, who are being profiled this season by Amazon as part of their All or Nothing documentary series, but he suggests they have nonetheless regressed towards the standards of 2014, when he took charge.
"It's our reality. With all the circumstances, I think it's normal to be in the position we are," he said on Friday.
"We are working, trying to perform better and get better results. I have mentioned the circumstances. We are in the right direction to find the balance in the squad, the right way to perform, and we do as well as we can.

— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) October 27, 2019
"Today is still so early. If we are able to find the right balance and perform in the way that we expect, of course it's still there, It's possible. We need to make sure we have the time to get everything right.
"We went back to five years ago where we were in terms of position, situation and stuff like that. It takes time. We can't move the club forward quickly. There are so many things. The time is the problem. It's a natural process.
"We need to stay calm and, like always, work hard, because that is the way to change this dynamic. But the time is the time and the process is the process.
"It's different than five years ago, but with a lot of similarities. It's difficult to talk now because I don't want to talk again about negative things. I want to be positive. I promise you, if it's all going well at the end of the season, I will explain – for you, and for Amazon, too!
"But I want to be positive. I think the signals in the past few weeks have been very positive. I know very well that to have a positive spirit and provide a good mood for everyone is so important. I think we talk a lot and it's not helpful.
"Now, there are a lot of positive things that we need to speak about and keep going, keep moving. All the fans, the club deserve that we start winning games again to be in a better position. Of course, in the Champions League, we are in a very good position now. But I think in the Premier League table, we are not."
Pochettino also offered an update on Hugo Lloris, who is recovering from a dislocated elbow sustained against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Spurs confirmed on Thursday that the goalkeeper has had to have surgery on the injury, which had not been healing as hoped.
The France international had been due to return in early 2020 but there are now fears he could be sidelined for longer.
"I didn't see him the last week – he wasn't here," said Pochettino. "But he is strong, he's very mature, a man. Of course, he's suffering now a little bit but he's going to come strong again."

Permanent make-up or cosmetic tattooing allows people to wake up each morning virtually ready for the day, with no need to worry about the fuss of daily makeup application. This type of tattooing dates back to the 1980s and was originally used to address a condition known as alopecia, which causes hair loss (including eyebrows). The procedure has gained popularity for many people who just want to avoid the hassle of daily beautification.
While the procedure is loved by many, there are a growing number of people who are regretting the decision to go under the needle. Even though the procedure is known as "permanent," there is a natural fading that occurs over time, just like normal tattoos. In addition, some individuals experience skin reactions such as granulomas, keloids, blisters, and even scars. As with any tattoo procedure, people getting cosmetic tattoos can expect a good amount of pain, especially on the sensitive facial skin.
Permanent cosmetics have recently come under question, and the inks used are under scrutiny by the FDA. Cosmetic tattoos are not highly regulated, and many people have started amateur cosmetic tattoo shops in their homes. The minimal regulations have allowed people with inadequate training to perform the procedure. As a result, there are many botched permanent makeup tattoos.
There have been numerous reports of individuals experiencing severe negative reactions after getting permanent eyebrows, eyeliner, lipliner, and even lipstick done. The decision to do this procedure should not be taken lightly.
At Eraser Clinic we do not treat cosmetic tattoos, as the unpredictable ink can be difficult to remove. Permanent makeup inks have been known to oxidize and change color during the course of laser treatment. Even though we do not provide treatment for permanent makeup tattoos, we do treat tattoos of all other varieties. If you are considering having a different type of tattoo removed, we can help.
At Eraser Clinic we are the tattoo removal experts. We offer free consultations and will happily answer any questions you may have about laser tattoo removal. So book your Free Consultation with us today!

My Fun Morning
Well, I did a terrible job on the radio today. I had a great time while failing, though, and everyone treated me really well. If you can believe it, I've even been asked back for some reason. Anyway, the photo above is the thing you'll get if you win the trivia question posed on the show this week. You're welcome, world.

Good News and Updates
I found out yesterday that I'm one of the artists selected for the 2010 CSA Grant. It's going to be a huge amount of work in a short amount of time, so if anyone has any extra Pepto Bismol laying around, I could sure use it for the inevitable ulcer this next month is going to cause me. Really, though, this is a phenomenal opportunity, and I'm deeply grateful to the committee and all the kind words of encouragement from the fans, board members and friends and family. This next month will fly by.
While simultaneously working on 50 small paintings for the grant, I'll be finishing 10 new pieces for a show in Chicago at the Morpho gallery opening in early November. Lots of details need to be hammered out, but it's still a go and I'm really excited to see what happens. The photo I posted above is a piece I did for the show, and though it's not quite finished, I'm happy with how it's turned out so far. More images and details about the show will be cropping up slowly but surely.
BREAKING NEWS: I also just found out today that I've been invited to participate in Fox Tax's holiday show, "A Few of Our Favorite Things." Honestly, this made my day. I've participated in a couple of their highly publicized, well-received shows over the past couple of years, and the fact that they consider my work to be one of their "favorites" is a huge compliment to me. They also asked me to donate a piece to a charity of my choosing, which of course I'm more than honored to do. Anyway, that happened just now. It's nice. Minneapolis has proven time and again that it's one of the best cultural focal points in the country, and I'm constantly reminded of how lucky I am just to be an infinitesimally small part of it.
Anyway, as a reminder, I'm going to be on the radio as a guest on KFAI's Geek Report on September 25th. Finally, you'll get your chance to know what a lack of charisma actually sounds like. Look for it!
Okay, I need to get back to further exacerbating my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Have a great weekend, and thank you.

Blues Creation – Demon & Eleven Children
This album is no secret to aficionados of the early Japanese psych rock scene—it is usually on "best of" lists for that genre and era. The band followed the typical evolution of the late '60s UK blues-rock sound, but broke ground with this album in 1971.
It owes much of its power to guitarist Kazuo Takeda who, as of this writing, is still revered as major influence in the sound of the era and has enjoyed a long career as a session player, both in the United States and Japan.
Interestingly, subsequent to the release of Demon & Eleven Children, the band toured with Mountain in Japan and Takeda formed a collaboration with the great Felix Pappalardi, who produced The Cream and was central to Leslie West's Mountain. Along the way, Takedi changed band members and sounds. Takedi's other albums- he has released many- are good and varied—the name was simplified to "Creation." There is even one direct to disc release, Super Rock In The Highest Voltage, from 1978, a sort of jazz-lounge-y blues record that pales in comparison to the raw energy of Demon and Eleven Children.
First pressings of Demon and Eleven Children were on the Denon[1] label, a fairly early "audiophile" release. Those copies are dear and seldom come up for sale in top condition.
I found a second Japanese pressing on the Blow Up label, from 1975, which turned out to be another imprint of Denon. Cheap by comparison to the first pressing.[2]
Not as "far out" as Satori, and not as uneven as Too Much, this album probably deserves a place in your collection if you are a fan of hard psych rock and have any interest in the important records that came out of Japan at the time.
Bill Hart
Austin, TX.
Jan. 8, 2017
[1] Denon is a well-known consumer electronics company and at the time, was a subsidiary of Nippon Columbia, which also owned the Blow-Up imprint.
[2] The "Therapeutic" label reissue from Spain in 2011 isn't bad, but its chief virtue compared to these early Japanese pressings is price: https://www.discogs.com/Blues-Creation-Demon-Eleven-Children/release/3309234 The Blow Up copy is worth the extra money and should hold its value.

Eating KitKat destroys our Environment!
0 haben unterschrieben. Nächstes Ziel: 200.
We all should protect our environment. One of the most dangerous threats is the clearing of our rainforest.
But, what is the current situation of this area? As you probably know, there is a huge destruction of our rainforest. Not only the human activities like clearing, but also natural aspects contribute to the reduction of this area. In Panama were found traces of anthropogenic farming, that was done about 2000 years ago, destroying the environment, but because there wasn't a huge destruction the rainforest could regenerate again. Regeneration isn't possible nowadays.
Formerly the rainforests comprised about 15-18 million km². By 1989 this region was reduced to less than eight million km² just because of human forces. The annual deforestation is supposed between 100.000 and 200.000 km². In only one second the devastation of the rainforest amounts one football field!
The Asian rainforests are the most destroyed rainforests. About 70% of the former deforested. the following countries are Brazil, Indonesia and Zaire. If the deforestation and the human population growth increase more and more, then the rainforest will disappear in about 30 years. Certainly there is a protection of tropical forests, but comparing to the whole area it isn't much. Only three to four per cent of the Brazilian rainforest is under the governments protection, for instance. Furthermore, many of these sanctuaries don't exist in the real world. They exist on papers. Besides, the protected areas are mostly inaccessible and there is no opportunity for farming. But anyhow, there is planted one tree for ten trees, that were cut down. Of course this plantations don't gain the biodiversity of the primarily rainforests.
Now we're going to focus on the palm oil production, which increased by 18 percent from the previous year in 2017. This happened because of the weather patterns, that were conducive to high productivity. Palm oil became one of the most controversial ingredients of the 21st century. So what are the reasons for that?
On the one hand, palm oil has cardio-proactive effects when combined with a balanced diet. Also as far as consumables go, palm oil is the only edible that contains high levels of vitamin E class known as tocotrienol. This discourages the formation of tumours and blood clots and is also known to prevent heart disease and some cancers. The last point for the use of palm oil is the cheap source of vegetable oil. For vegetable oil producers, the African oil palm tree is a cost effective way of meeting market demand. It thrives in hot Asian environments and is relatively easy to farm, harvest and process. But there are also some arguments against the production of palm oil. One point for that is our responsibility to nature and the environment. Across the globe, palm oil is largely harvested at the expense of tropical forests and other sensitive ecosystems. Companies ruthlessly clear biodiversity rich sites in order to make way for monoculture oil palm plantations. Another big part of the palm oil production is the labour exploitation as well as seriously lacking in street credentials. This exploitation of workers happened particularly in Asian regions. In Malaysia, most workers are poor migrants from countries such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal and Indonesia. It is a very abusive system that includes labour-trafficking, debt bondage and unfair payments. A lot of those workers are undocumented and Malaysian law is very unfriendly to migrants.
We have to rethink about it and ask ourselves if we really want to support that. It damages our environment, people are being discriminated against and we as the consumer have the chance to change that or not even support those conditions.
Nestlé is a company, that is known for the usage of palm oil. Especially in their chocolate bar KitKat. But, why do they use palm oil? The answer is simple: Palm oil is the cheapest edible vegetable oil. It is primary used in the food industry. Even though having a lot of vitamins, about 50 per cent of the palm oil contains saturated fatty acids, which can lead to elevated cholesterol levels or other heart diseases. In addition to that, they also comprise fatty acid esters like glycidyl fatty acid ester and 3-MCPD fatty acid ester. These are roumored to be carcinogenic. Which is one reason of why palm oil isn't the best choice of vegetable oil for KitKat. Not to forget all the environmental issues of the unsustainable palm oil plantations, that have been discussed before. The company Nestlé has been criticised in the past because of the deforestation of the rainforest caused by palm oil plantations. The Greenpeace KitKat campaign in 2010 got to the company, which resulted in a promise. They wanted to end the deforestation of the rainforest in their own supply chain. The goal was to use sustainable gained palm oil, where no rainforest had to be destroyed for. This goal has been missed, according to the Guardian. "Four years later we can now trace over 90% of our palm oil back to the mill of origin and almost two thirds back to the plantation level," said Nestlé spokeswoman Peggy Diby. "Our ambition is to raise this figure to 100% by 2020, back to plantation." (The Guardian, 2017). Nestlé isn't still helping enough to achieve this goal. The dates are always deferred. "Nestlé policy states that by 2015 the entirety of its palm oil purchases will come from sustainable sources." (The Treehugger, May 17, 2010). But still a third can't be traced to the palm oil plantations. This of course lets people think, that they still have palm oil gained from illegal palm oil plantations. It's time for action and no empty promises.
Alternatives for Palm Oil (in chocolate):
• a special yeast that had been used in the wine industry (even though it is now more expensive than regular palm oil, it's costs can be reduced within the next two to three years due to a progressing research community); the yeast is expected to be a truly versatile and planet-friendly alternative to palm oil in the future
• scientists in Abu Dhabi are working with a species of alge that is also producing palm acids which are the most important ingredients of natural palm oil
• for domestic usage you can also use coconut-, avocado- or olive oil which have similar effects as palm oil; sometimes they are even cheaper than palm oil
Where to find alternatives for KitKat:
• in the United Kingdom at Waitrose or at M&S by Booja Booja or by The Divine Company
• in Germany at drug stores like Rossmann by Alnatura or by GEPA companies
• just look for Toblerone, Whittakers, Loving Earth, Lindt (ONLY non-filled chocolate), Twirl or Cadbury (ONLY plain chocolate)

By Tara Thompson, District 518
WORTHINGTON - Over the years, I have heard several realtors say "location, location, location" when it comes to buying/selling a home. As an early childhood professional, over the years, I have found myself saying how important play is in regard to the development of young children. I would like to mirror the realtor saying in my profession and say, "play, play, play." Play is the answer in raising well-rounded children.
Many times, people say they understand the importance of play, but do they really? Outdoor play, for example, builds gross and fine motor skills and social development. Dramatic, social or group play supports social emotional development like self-regulation, sharing and negotiation (I see these as very helpful skills for a future job). During play, children also learn skills that help them in resolving conflict. It is also important to incorporate songs, rhymes and storytelling. These activities support language, vocabulary and literacy skills. If these are the skills that children are gaining from play, I think that these are skills that extend beyond preparing kids for school. These skills are making them better prepared for life, too!
Children need time away from screens. So parents, let's set some limits on screen time to create uninterrupted time for children to play and explore (this includes the great outdoors). By the way, if you are a parent, when is the last time you played with your children whether it was inside or outside? Just the thought of this brings vivid pictures to mind of laughter, smiles, creativity, questions, conversations and fun! What a great way to build relationships between parents and children. Parents, it is time to find your inner child and unleash it.
If you are looking for some activities that support play, the Early Childhood program and Community Education have planned some Friday Fun dates and Family Fun events that families may participate in. The Friday Fun is for preschool-aged children and their parent to spend time together in an informal playtime setting. The Family Fun events include five activities for families to participate in together. The activities include a kick off concert, gym nights, ice skating, swimming and a bike and read event. Go to www.isd518.net/enrichment for more information. If you truly believe that play is important, then stop giving it lip service and start carving out time for play!
Some people ask, "Does District 518 have a preschool program?" The answer is yes! The district preschool programs are located in the West Learning Center. The preschool programs are School Readiness, Family Literacy and Early Childhood Family Education. School Readiness and Family Literacy have a total of 112 slots, and ECFE has 96 slots. And yes, these programs focus on the importance of play in the curriculum.
Tara Thompson is District 518's early childhood coordinator.

Lithium Batteries and Its Benefits
Lithium batteries can only be used one time and it can be able to power up multiple things like the camera, toys, flashlight and music devices so to speak. Some cars are using this form of battery with ion batteries that contains nonaqueous electrolyte which contains sulfur dioxide and be reduced to a certain level, acetonitrile and a form of salt called li.
In addition to contains pluspol that is made from lithium metallic and since then there are many pros in this kind of lithium battery. High energy density means the more energy density is one the main advantage of this lithium ion battery or just a cell. The higher the density the more energy and can be the chief advantage of the lithium cell. With various electronic product like the cellphone needing to run a much longer between charges while it is consuming a lot of power often there can be the need for batteries with a higher strength in the given density.
To be able to add there are many electricity applications from various power tools to electric powered vehicles in a much higher density provided with lithium batteries in a unique advantage. To be able to add there are batteries that can lose its charge in time this discharge can be a huge issue. One disadvantage of this lithium batteries is the rate of self discharge and is lower if compared to many chargeable batteries.?There are different rechargeable batteries that is needed primed to get its first charge but there is no requirement for this kind of battery.
Another major lithium ion battery can be highly beneficial when they require no maintenance for one to enjoy its performance many batteries are now requiring the periodic update of the maintenance in ensuring that it is working well. There are a lot of lithium batteries which are available the advantage of these batteries mean that the right technology can be used for the actual application if desired highly.
The main purpose of having this kind of power technology is to give back up to the electrical needs in time of trouble and gives energy in so many things. Lithium battery is highly important invention that has been made by humans as the technology is evolving to this moment the battery was able to give power to a lot of things and gives it a whole new usage in a period of time investing in power supply is vital since it can back you up in terms of power shortage.
Many business owners doesn't know the gravity of the problem that can occur if power shortage may happen thus it is right to say that having a lithium battery backup can be able to sustain your needs if this kind of unavoidable event happens.

Westworld is back to fuck with your mind once more. Season One was wilfully stacked with different timelines, shocking twists and endless theories spouted from Reddit, and you won't be shocked to know that Season Two delivers more of the same. Last night's long-awaited return picked up the pieces from the Host's rebellion at the end of Season One – and threw a load more questions at us, including the teasing of "the valley beyond". But what the hell is it?
Who mentions the "valley beyond"?
The "valley beyond" is mentioned twice in the episode, first by the Rebellion's Leader, Delores, and again by the "stable boy" to The Man In Black. Delores first says it to her accomplice Teddy, saying that not everyone can make it to "the valley beyond", and the stable boy offers the The Man In Black passage to "the valley beyond."
What is the "valley beyond"?
We can interpret what this means in several ways – none of which may necessarily be true. But let's give it a crack, eh?
Firstly, Journey Into The Night seemed to allude that Delores' ability to see beyond the present is only getting stronger. As she tells Teddy, she can "see it all so clearly — the past, the present, the future." But what is the future? As shown by the rising water levels in the original park, the washing up of a tiger and Delores' reference to this park being just being a "speck of dust" – it may well mean that there is some kind of test or passage for hosts to pass to make it. Is the "valley beyond" going to be the ruins of the park after the flood? Last year, fans on Reddit theorised that a flood was incoming, suggesting that this destruction of the park may be Ford's final narrative to cleanse the park.

Or could she be referring to the outside world? With Maeve almost making it out, and Delores' ability to see into the future – she may well see the future of selected hosts existing outside of the park.
Does this have anything to do with the multiple timelines?
Perhaps. Journey Into The Night showed that we're operating on two timelines – that we know of – about 12 days apart. The first, involving Delores and her journey through the park slaughtering hosts and guests alike, and Bernard's movements after the initial rebellion. The second shows Bernard being picked up 12 days later and assessing the damage to the park with Ashley Stubbs and Karl Strand.
It is in this second timeline where we see the what appears to be a flood in the park. Is this the start of the journey to the valley beyond Dolores was talking about? It does all sound pretty biblical right now, so a flood may well be way to do it. But does that mean Bernard is involved, too? Let us know what you think in the comments.

NBR Forum Spotlight: Intel 10nm Chips Released, Overclock Your Monitor
Welcome to the NotebookReview Forum Spotlight, a biweekly series where we highlight the hottest and most important topics in our forum. The NotebookReview forum is the largest Internet forum dedicated to the discussion of notebook computers, including Macs and tablets. You can sign up for free by clicking here.
Intel 10nm Cannonlake CPUs Released
You didn't hear the news? That's because Intel silently released the first of its "Cannonlake" Core-series processors. Cannonlake is significant for Intel because it's the first time they are using a 10 nanometer (nm) production process. Most of Intel's processors use a 14 nm process. As a general rule, smaller processes result in more power-efficient chips.
The one Cannonlake CPU Intel has released is the Core i3-8121U. It's a 15-watt dual-core chip designed for use in notebooks. Interesting enough, it doesn't appear to have integrated graphics. Therefore, notebooks sold with it will have to include a discrete graphics solution. You can find details of the chip on Intel's ARK site.
(Special thanks to forum member capo245 for starting the discussion.)
Upgrading a 10-Year Old Notebook
The year 2008 was a long time ago, but there are still computers running today from that era. Take, for example, notebooks based on the Intel GL960 chipset. With over 252,000 reads, the GL960 Chipset Processor Upgradability thread in our forum is still going strong. In short, notebooks based on the Intel GL960 chipset have the potential to be upgraded to a Core 2 Duo processor; notebooks with that chipset typically came with much less powerful Pentium chips. If you have an old GL960-based notebook lying around, it might be worth asking in the thread if yours can be upgraded. Core 2 Duo chips can be had for a few dollars on eBay.
(Forum member michacerboy probably didn't think the thread would still be going a decade later, that's for sure.)
Liquid Metal Safety Guide
In our last Forum Spotlight, we discussed the benefits of using liquid metal as a thermal paste replacement. We also explained some of the dangers associated with it. This time around, long-time forum member Falkentyne took the time to write a safety guide to applying liquid metal. It goes through good practices, such as using a foam barrier to prevent liquid metal runoff from ruining your notebook.
Where Do You Buy Your PC Games?
Online gaming isn't getting any less popular. The question, posed by forum member RicardoTeixeira, is where do you buy your games? One of the answers predictably missing from the responses received was traditional stores. The most popular stores in the responses were:
Overclocking a Notebook Monitor
Most notebook displays run at a refresh rate of 60 hertz (Hz). That means if you're playing a game, only 60 frames per second (fps) can be shown at a time. Any more than that and the picture will appear to tear, which is visually unappealing.
It's now possible to "overclock" your monitor and increase its refresh rate beyond its rated specification. Forum member margroloc took the time to put up an extensive guide on doing so. All the pros and cons are listed out.

Louie needs dental work, a growth removed, and arthritis care
We just took in a stray poodle mix, and named him Louie. He is in desperate need of medical help. His teeth are just a rotten mess. He also has a big lump by his butt, and needs to be neutered. He seems to have arthritis and is tender to being picked up. We want to start the process of healing ASAP since he is clearly uncomfortable.
We are sure this won't be inexpensive. Dental alone is at least $500. We have no idea what the lump is, but based on its location, it needs to be removed. It could be a testicle that never descended. Any amount you can spare we will be so grateful.
Thank you so much for your support.
Louie needs extensive medical care asap

UPDATED: SmartVault 'View in Browser' Feature Restored
UPDATE: July 12 @ 5:17 PM
SmartVault's 'View in Browser' feature has been restored, and should be performing as expected. If you experience any issues going forward, please submit a support ticket by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Due to some intermittent performance issues with the 'View in Browser' feature in the SmartVault client portal, we have temporarily changed the default settings so that files opened in the portal are automatically downloaded. All this means to you is that when you click on a file in the client portal, it will be downloaded to your desktop instead of opened in your browser window. For some customers this may impact your ability to search for files in the client portal. This problem is isolated to the SmartVault client portal – other features like the SmartVault Drive, Mobile Apps, Toolbar, etc., are not experiencing any impact to performance.
Our engineers are working diligently to correct this problem, and we're eager to turn the 'View in Browser' feature back on. We'll be posting updates to our Blog, Twitter, and Facebook pages, as soon as they're available. Thanks for your patience and support… stay tuned!

Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese Success
(Food blogger wanna-be strikes again.)
Homemade macaroni and cheese has been my nemesis for lo these many years. I can't count how many times I have tried to make it only to be met with a burnt or lumpy mess or something that really didn't taste very good.
One of my CC mama friends to the rescue! She sent me her recipe for crockpot mac and cheese so with trepidation I mixed up a batch and surprise! My kids loved it! The husband loved it! I made it a second time and doubled it and it still was a huge hit! Another sign of success was that my Dad asked for the recipe! (Lots of explanation points because this recipe is really, really good!)
I'm sure the secret is the Velveeta, but I'm not complaining. I wouldn't cook it more than 3 1/2-4 hours in the crockpot, even on low, because it will start to stick, but for something you want to throw in the crockpot late afternoon to have ready for dinner time, this is perfect.
Stephanie's Crockpot Mac and Cheese (not me, another Stephanie) : )
3 Tbsp. margarine, melted, put in crock pot
2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup Velveeta, cut in cubes
4 cups milk
Mix all ingredients lightly. Cover and turn on high. Do not remove lid or stir for three hours.
Note: you could mix in all sorts of stuff and make it a meal. Precooked ham, peas, taco seasoned meat, etc. I served it above with the Pioneer Woman's Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork for a recent Sunday lunch with family (cooked in my cast iron dutch oven), green beans in one crockpot, and mac and cheese in another crockpot. We ate well.

"Invalid" system disk...."
I installed a second Maxtor 5T040H4 HD. The specs say that I don't need to set a jumper to make it a slave.
When I bootup I get the following message: "Searching for Boot record from Floppy..Not found
Saerching for Boot record from IDE-1..OK
Invalis System disk
Replace the disk and then press any ket."
So I press any key and the computer boots and I can see the "Slave".
What's up w/ the message?

Romans 3:22a says, "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe." God's saving righteousness (declaring a sinner to be in the "right") comes "through faith in Jesus Christ." The phrase "faith in Jesus" is synonymous with trusting in Jesus, believing in Jesus, anchoring our hope in Him alone. We are saves by sola fide (faith alone), not faith+works. The basis of our being made right with God is faith alone.
The "through faith" expression is used elsewhere in a context of salvation. For example, Paul says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith…not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph 2:8-9). That final phrase of Ephesians 2:9 ("so that no one can boast") is the reason why "through faith" must be the sole basis, and not "faith+law-keeping." If I kept the law, and that law-keeping added to the basis on which I was "right" with God, I could have room to boast! God will simply have none of that, no grounds for human boasting. So God saves by His grace "through faith" and "not by works." In this way, God receives all the glory for salvation. As it should be.

Chicago mayoral candidate Lori Lightfoot released the following statement in response to reports that Chicago police officers set up bait trucks on the South Side.
"Especially after a weekend with seventy shootings and zero arrests, news of this bait truck operation is an appalling display of misplaced priorities and a step backwards on the path to trust and legitimacy.
"Video footage shows officers antagonizing Chicagoans they are sworn to serve and protect, and creating conflict when their responsibility is to promote public safety. We've got to get to the bottom of how this happened and make sure these tactics are never used again."

I've searched for a mum tutorial but no luck. Is there another tutorial that I can use that may be similiar? Or does anyone have a step by step process on how to make a mum?
Did you check on youtube?
Go to Wilton's website. They have a mum that is pretty simple.
Guess I should've clarified that I need to make a mum out of gumpaste.
I checked youtube & didn't see anything.
If you are using gumpaste, no worries. I am going to attempt to give you Wilton instructions for a quick mum:
Day before, create the center. Take a ball of gumpaste and roll it into a circle. Insert wire, toothpick of whatever you are using as the stem. Use an umbrella tool and indent the top, so that it looks like petals that are not open as yet.
Next day, roll out gumpaste thin and use the Wilton daisy cutters. Start with the medium size and cut two or three. Take the center and insert in the center of one of the petals. Glue all the petals up around the center. Apply 1 or 2 more, depending on the look you want. When you apply the 2nd and 3rd row, make sure that the petals fall between the first row so that all the petals are not sitting on each other. Using the largest cutter, cut another 3 or 4. When you apply these, don't glue them all the way up. The petals are now starting to open out. Again, apply as many as you wish.
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much Lee15!

Opinion: Track 5 Coffee
November 26, 2018
Previously known as Rockin Joe's, Track 5 Coffee is the place to be in downtown Cranford. Rockin Joe's began as a small town coffee shop that middle aged people went to. Over the years they wanted to grow their business and they decided expanded into the old antique store next to them to grow their business.
The coffee shop is very successful and Track 5 always has a long line for you to think about what coffee you want. A young man from Mount Arlington, NJ states " We gladly drive 10 minutes past several other coffee shops to get our fix at track 5. Friendly, fast, delicious." Everyone enjoys the self confidence boosting workers and the pastries that melt in your mouth. I have never really been crazy about coffee but this coffee is so creamy and you can tell it is made properly and with lots of care and love.
Track 5 has not only expanded their coffee shop, but their menu as well. I've be an honorary customer for years and they use to just serve small pieces of cake and chocolate-chip cookies but they have now widen their horizons and sell new and different foods. I have turned many of my friends on to their simple, basic coffees and yummy monkey bread. Track 5 coffee is a quiet, peaceful place to open up your computer and write an essay while having a treat and a drink to keep you awake. I drink an Irish Gig coffee every morning to make me feel wide awake and energized. Even looking at the outstanding Yelp reviews attracts more customers.
It is a welcoming place to make yourself comfortable and productive for a few hours. The staff does a great job of making sure everyone is tended too and even makes time for small talk with most of their customers even though there is a long line. They never seem under pressure or in a bad mood. It is a great environment for coffee and a treat.

UNAB Chile Students & Faculty Win Big at National Social Housing Innovation Competition
The School of Architecture of the Creative Campus at Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB Chile) was a winner at the "Proyecta a Conciencia" (Planning with a Conscience) architecture competition organized by the German multinational construction materials firm STO. The UNAB teams took home first and third place, as well as two honorable mentions.
The competition sought ideas to improve existing social housing in Chile to benefit environmental conditions. It focused on innovations to improve and expand the homes as well as modernizing exterior building materials for improved efficiency.
The competition guidelines called for student teams guided by faculty mentors. The mentors for the UNAB teams were Mauricio Bruna Fruns and Juan Agustín Soza, both UNAB Architecture faculty members. The winning project was "Reconfiguration of Cité La Paz" by students Lissette Arancibia, Carolina Carrasco, and Sebastián Escudero, while third place went to the team integrated by Alexander Meneses, Cristina Sanz, Gonzalo Worm and Francisco Tesmer for their project "Restoration of Social Housing: Valdivia".
The team of Maria Alemparte, Camila Valdés, and Javiera Fuenzalida received an honorable mention for their work on social housing in San Miguel. Students Javiera Castro and Maximiliano Loza also received an honorable mention for their initiative centered on housing and intergenerational spaces in the Valdivia community.
In addition, multiple other teams took part including the team of Maria Alemparte, Camila Valdés, and Javiera Fuenzalida, who focused on social housing in San Miguel, and Javiera Castro and Maximiliano Loza, whose initiative was about the housing and intergenerational space of Valdivia.
"The theme of the competition was general social housing which was a perfect fit for our academic learning process, and we thought it was a great opportunity to generate research and proposals that showcased the talent and skills of our students and compete with students of other Chilean Architecture Schools," said faculty mentor Mauricio Bruna Fruns. Before forming the teams and developing proposals, the students did a thorough analysis of the conditions of general Chilean social housing and particular case studies. This study helped identify the issues most in need of innovation to which in turn helped better configure the final teams and generate proposals. "This previous study was of vital importance and helped us achieve this unprecedented victory, considering there were 41 projects presented by Architecture Schools from all over Chile. It was a huge success for UNAB, and a great satisfaction for us as faculty members. These achievements foster in students a spirit of healthy competition and put UNAB in the spotlight of national architecture competitions," added Bruna Funs.

We have spent some time explaining how Cumulus Networks is enabling the networking space to model itself after the Linux server revolution. The fruits of the revolution for the server space have been rather obvious, unleashing virtualization, clustered databases, and database orchestration while reducing prices and offering more options for hardware AND software innovation at a blistering pace.
So let's examine the progression of the transformation in the server landscape and see if there were similar characteristics of inflection.
For servers, the incumbent mainframe style technologies often based the need for their products around:
- Integer performance requirements
- Floating point performance requirements
- Transactions/second requirements
- Graphics and disk performance
Up to the time that the Xeon line was released by Intel, people had dabbled with getting the base understanding of replacing mainframes with clusters, but were constrained by the factors above. This meant that the x86-based systems were confined to only certain small corners of a datacenter. Xeon turned this world on its head, by providing top of the line integer performance coupled with reasonable floating point performance.
Given the Xeon's trajectory and economic promise, companies built high performance systems around it, making it a real contender against legacy solutions. At that point, the advantages of having popular and extensible operating systems like Linux, ESX, and Windows kicked the ball over the finish line. The clear indicator of the turnaround was that all major server players at the time built their latest product lines around the Xeon and slowly but surely deprecated their legacy operating system businesses.
So, why are we talking about this? Because the similarities extend to networking and for the Broadcom® StrataXGS® Trident II Switch SoC, which we believe is the product that will push the adoption of open systems over the tipping point.
Current incumbents using custom silicon often point to requirements like
- Exotic buffer management schemes and protocols
- Large forwarding tables with a myriad of attributes
- High bandwidth and cumulative capacity
- Support for a variety of protocols to implement features like redundancy
- Support for low latency and so forth
The Trident II SoC, with 1280 Gbps FDX and starting at 500ns latency, addresses across the board all concerns about the performance of a single instance of switching silicon. Combine that with the elasticity we get with the Smart Tables and Smart Buffers feature of Trident II and you get a product that is versatile and can be configured to serve at any level inside a data center network. Mix in the port flexibility allowing any set of the 128 possible 10G ports to be combined into a 40G port, and you get a link that can be optimized for scale, capacity, or temporal congestion as per the need of the hour. Finally with VXLAN, we can divorce the complex, per community isolation and resource management needs of a data center network and manage that completely in the overlay context, freeing management and application layers to express their needs in an abstract way and letting the underlying network provide the service requested.
If indeed Trident II is the harbinger of the tipping point, and the indicators look good as all major OEM/ODM manufacturers are similarly lining up their premier products around its availability, then the next big factor to aim for is the operating system and the software ecosystem that it supports. The ease of use, familiarity, and robustness of this substrate will decide the pace of innovation for applications and solutions of tomorrow's data center.
One casualty of such a change will be network controllers, which are needed to manage a disparate networking fabric with asymmetrical software interfaces. In this model, all boxes are made from an architectural building block. Thus scaling, much like for compute, is a function of horizontal replication of the building block.
The only questions that then remain are:
- Which form factor will rule like the 2 socket x86 server did on the compute side?
- Which OS will unlock the networking innovations and thinking like Linux vendors like RedHat, SuSE, and TurboLinux did for compute applications? Clearly, we think this will be us …
