Rosie and the staff started today's broadcast discussing yesterday's truly exciting program where Howard Stern made an appearance. Janette, who has long since professed her undying love and affection for Howard, said he is just as gorgeous in person as she imagined he would be. She said even at 57 years of age she was utterly thrilled by his appearance! Janette called Howard a kind, gentle, interesting man. Deirdre was sad she missed the entire thing! Janette was also happy that she got to meet Robin Quivers who, in her opinion, is the best sidekick in the industry. Janette said she had to eventually stop talking to Robin because all she was doing was telling her how wonderful she is. Rosie's girlfriend, Tracy, listened to the interview from home and asked what it is about Howard that gets people to tell him everything! And she also told Rosie she turned all "Long Island" while she was talking with him. Rosie said in her case, she's decided to just answer anything he asks truthfully. She said it's worked so far so she's sticking with that plan. Rosie was so happy for Janette that she got to meet and have her biggest celebrity moment on air. Janette also recently discovered that Amanda, the segment producer, was born just two months after Rosie and Janette met! She's the personification of their relationship and she's a lovely young woman! Rosie was excited to hang with Shirley MacLaine yesterday too. Thinking back yesterday at her life and that she hung out with Shirley MacLaine yesterday overwhelms Rosie sometimes.
Rosie said Rosie Radio will be repeats Thursday and Friday of this week. Tomorrow she has to attend the OWN Network Upfronts, which are held each spring by the TV networks so they can show off their fall line-ups to advertisers. Rosie and Janette realized they only have about 35 shows left until Rosie Radio signs off! Rosie said when she presented at the Matrix awards on Monday she had a huge amount of people come up to her to comment on how fantastic she looked! She didn't think she looked all that different. But then she watched the season 8 promo for Curb Your Enthusiasm (see below) and she thought to herself that's how she liked to look because it looks more like her. When she sees herself in photos from the Matrix awards she thinks she looks like a completely different person. Rosie said she hopes to maintain some balance between no makeup and too much makeup so she can maintain a sense of authenticity when her new show starts.
Last night Rosie watched Lawrence O'Donnell as he played back Glenn Beck making fun of him for crying over the cuts to Planned Parenthood. Lawrence had received a letter from a viewer about how she uses Planned Parenthood for gynecological checks and breast cancer screenings. He got choked up over the letter on his program and Glenn Beck (who Rosie referred to as "the anti-Christ" who if you shaved his head you'd most likely see 666 carved into it) made fun of him for it. Lawrence played the tapes of Beck making fun of him and Rosie loved what he had to say. She said Lawrence O'Donnell is so smart and his comments back to Beck were so well thought out. Rosie said she loves him. However, Rosie does not care for Glenn Beck. She said he lies for a living and he's innately unChristian-like. She said she doesn't understand his cruelty and thinks he's bad in every way. She said she can't stand Beck, what he represents or who he purports to be!
Rosie was infuriated at the Planned Parenthood attacks and lies. And the fact that our elected representatives can lie on the floor of the Senate (like John Kyl saying that 90% of what Planned Parenthood does is abortions) makes Rosie even more angry. Rosie said what the fuck are you doing on the floor of the Senate speaking then if you're not speaking factual statements! Pete read the statistics and only 3% of what Planned Parenthood does is related to abortions. 97% of what they do is for basic health care for women. Rosie said the fact that in the year 2011 we have to fight again for the rights to our own bodies, infuriates her. Rosie loves Steven Colbert, who she said is her second favorite man, who has since started trending #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement on his Twitter.
Rosie asked if Glenn Beck has a daughter or a wife. She said Planned Parenthood does much more than abortion they help treat STDS, administer and educate about birth control, give pap smears, and perform breast cancer screenings. She said THAT is the majority of what Planned Parenthood does.
Rosie took a call from a listener who grew up in Utah and she said Planned Parenthood was the only place she could go to get birth control as a young woman. Rosie took a call from a listener who became pregnant at 16 and went to Planned Parenthood to hear her choices. She came from a very Catholic family and didn't know her options and she needed Planned Parenthood for the education.
Rosie then took a call from a listener who has an issue with Planned Parenthood getting money because she was passionately anti-abortion and thinks all babies should have a basic human right to live. She said she's against abortion and she has an issue with taking tax payer money to fund them. Pete pointed out to the caller that 97% of Planned Parenthood's business is for other things and no tax payer money is ever used for abortions. Rosie pointed out that she pays a lot in taxes and surely some of that money goes to support the wars we're involved in. And Rosie's 100% against those wars. So Rosie said, using her theory, she would like her money back! Rosie said women in America have already fought for their rights to have abortions and the Supreme Court agrees. The listener called abortion a "genocide" and said it's not about the right to your own body, it's about the rights of the little baby. Rosie asked the caller if she thought a child that is not wanted should be born anyway. The caller said that each child should have the right to make his or her own path and a lot of people have shitty lives but we should all have the rights to have them. Rosie reminded the caller that there are 500,000 children in foster-care and 100,000 kids available for adoption today. She told the caller that she and all the others that feel the same way should adopt, raise and care for these children. The caller said that wouldn't be the solution. Rosie told the caller that she shouldn't push her belief system about what is and isn't right onto other people. And she said until the caller is ready to take in the unwanted children of the world she should "shut up!" The caller said she had her kids very young and it was really difficult for her and not a good situation. She was on welfare and struggled financially but with welfare she did it and that was the right thing to do. Rosie asked the caller what she thought should happen if a woman becomes pregnant because of rape or sexual abuse. The woman laughed at that idea and called that an excuse. She said that's only true in 3% of the cases of abortions! Rosie said it's the right of every woman to have an abortion and if men could have abortions there would be drive-thru clinics for them like McDonald's. Rosie said to think abortion is the easy way out is totally absurd and unrealistic. She told the caller that just because a certain choice worked for her doesn't mean it would work for everyone. She said everyone should have the right to decide what's best for their own lives. The caller asked Rosie about the life of the child. Rosie screamed, "GO TAKE ONE OF THESE CHILDREN IN AND UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO DO IT SHUT UP! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHAT TO DO!" Rosie was done with the caller at this point and she and Janette talked about friends they've known that have had "backdoor abortions" when abortions were illegal. Rosie said if anti-abortion activists really care about unwanted children they should begin by taking care of those who are not wanted and in foster-care.
Rosie took another call from a listener who sells birth control to Planned Parenthood for a pharmaceutical company in Southern California. Many times she's entered the Planned Parenthood locations and been screamed at by anti-abortion protesters. When she explains to them why she's there, to sell birth control, they don't care and they're so angry they don't listen. The caller said the protesters are completely disconnected from what is going on there. This caller is a Republican but said the nutty right-wing, holier-than-thou attitude of the Republican party makes it really hard for her to support her party sometimes. She also said women need to know about emergency contraception and how there are doctors who refuse to even offer this option to their patients. She said without Planned Parenthood, we can never know all of our contraceptive options as women. Rosie mentioned the amazing documentary called 12th and Delaware an abortion clinic across the street from a pro-life clinic.
Rosie took several more callers on the topic ranging from callers who had abortions and although painful was a good decision for them at the time to callers who chose not to have abortions. Rosie said, being a lesbian and having only been intimate with one man in her lifetime, she's never had to struggle with an unwanted pregnancy. But she said many of her friends have struggled with one and every one of them felt the emotional cost. Rosie said mostly, we need compassion for women in crisis and for the woman who knows what she is and isn't capable of.
Rosie took a call from a listener who was anti-choice but takes in foster kids because she feels like it's her responsibility to take in unwanted children. Rosie said she personally could never have an abortion but she doesn't feel like it's her right to tell other women what they should do. Rosie said since 1973 women have had the right to choose and to think we're going backwards in time makes her extremely frustrated.
Rosie took a call from another listener who never believed in abortion until she was raped and became pregnant at 27 years old. She was married at the time and she couldn't live with a rapist's baby her entire life. She decided to have an abortion and it wasn't easy for her but it was the right decision for her at the time. She took issue with the previous caller who made it seem like women like her don't really exist. Rosie thanked her for calling in and sharing her story.
Janette said this is all a part of the rise of the religious right. But their argument has its roots in their religious beliefs. Janette asked why she should have to live under other people's religious rules.
Lastly, Rosie took a call from a juvenile correction officer who recently helped a young girl with a horrible STD by taking her to a free clinic. She said they practically saved that child's life at that clinic and they rely heavily on free clinics and Planned Parenthood to help these juveniles. She said she's seen many kids in her line of work born to parents that don't want them and the outcome is tragic.
Rosie and the staff briefly discussed how Sugar Ray went home on last night's Dancing With The Stars. Deirdre said she thinks this year is not that exciting. Lou, a huge DWTS fan, loves Ralph Macchio on the program. Rosie does too but thinks she sees some of the same moves he did in the Karate Kid.
The staff discussed how Ashley Judd has had to apologize for some remarks she made about hip hop. In her book All That Is Bitter & Sweet: A Memoir Ashley says, "As far as I'm concerned, most rap and hip-hop music - with its rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women as 'ho's' - is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny." She has since apologized saying, "The outcry regarding my remarks, 2 paragraphs of my 400+ page book, regarding hip hop and rap, has been as astounding as it is out of context...I have looked closely at the feedback I have received about those two paragraphs, and absolutely see your points, and I fully capitulate to your rightness, and again humbly offer my heartfelt amends for not having been able to see the fault in my writing, and not having anticipated it would be painful for so many. Crucial words are missing that could have made a giant difference," she says in a post on GlobalGrind.com.
Janette feels the world has become so politically correct you can't say anything anymore. Rosie admitted there are aspects of the hip hop culture that present women in a non-feminist nature but said there are also aspects of Country music that do that too! And Rosie said unless you're Donald Trump, you can't get away with anything. Rosie said it seems to her like Donald Trump always gets a free pass for all the horrible things he says while everyone else has to apologize. Rosie and Deirdre are big hip hop fans. Deirdre said Ashley's statements puts hip hop music in a horrible light and a lot of it isn't bad. Janette wanted to know why Ashley must apologize for her opinion. She said if she doesn't like it, what's the big deal?
Rosie took a caller who wanted to discuss her fears that Donald Trump might run for President. Rosie said she doesn't feel like Trump is really going to run. This caller saw Trump on Fox News bragging that he ripped off Gaddafi. She said no matter your thoughts on Gaddafi, he is not a moral man. Rosie said she would love for someone to put together all the times he said she was a fat low-class degenerate on a running loop so people could remember what kind of a person he is. The caller said Trump is so hateful and she fears he someday is going to be a diplomat and in control of nuclear weapons!
Rosie took another call from a listener who was laughing at Rosie yelling that people need to be more compassionate. Rosie laughed at herself too.
Rosie took a call from a listener who doesn't think Donald Trump is the only one that gets away with anything. She said Howard Stern can get away with anything too! She said his radio show borders on porn! Rosie said the difference is one is a Real Estate mogul who takes himself very seriously and one is a radio show host and a comedian. The caller wanted to know if Rosie had spoken to Kirstie Alley and suggested to her that she take over Rosie Radio when it goes off the air. Rosie said that despite what people think, all famous people do not know each other. She said she doesn't know her well enough to call her on the phone and suggest that and it doesn't exactly work that way. Rosie said hopefully the staff will be able to continue in some manner and they'd let the listeners know as soon as they know anything.
Rosie said the news that the Flip camera will no longer to be made made her sad. But she thinks the iPhone may have killed it. Janette said she's buying several more Flip cameras because she like to use them on her trips overseas.
Rosie mentioned her presentation at the Matrix awards and how she joked about ending up on a nut farm with Roseann Barr if it weren't for her publicist Cindi Berger. Now Perez Hilton is saying that she's taking a shot at Roseanne! Rosie said it was a joke and she's friends with Roseanne. Roseanne tweeted Rosie and said, "You haven't lived til you have eaten my nuts! Once you get my nuts in your mouth, you'll see things different! sending you some!" Rosie tweeted her back, "Aloha - send me your nuts !!!!" Rosie wanted to make it clear that they are NOT in a feud with each other! And then she called Perez Hilton a "dorkoholic' for suggesting it.
Rosie took a call from a listener who said their conversation about the Flip being discontinued reminded her of the Seinfeld sponge-worthy episode. Rosie admitted she has never seen an episode of Seinfeld or Friends! She said she wants to order the box set and watch them all. Janette was once asked to come on a program and comment on the series finale of Seinfeld but had never seen it so she had her assistant get her 6 episodes of it. She quickly watched those 6 episodes and went on the program as if she had seen every one!
Rosie took a call from a listener who works at a nuclear facility. Rosie asked her if she's ever seen Silkwood but she had not. She said she feels badly for the people of Japan and everything they're going through and she prays for them every day. Rosie chatted with the caller about her life and she revealed she and her partner have 7 kids between the two of them. Both the caller and her partner were formally married to men before they got together and fell in love. Her partner was already divorced when they met but the caller was married and had been with her husband for 17 years when she realized she was gay. She was 34 at the time and it had never entered her mind that she could even be attracted to a woman because of her Catholic upbringing. Her children have adjusted to the change but she barely speaks with her ex-husband and her family. She lost everyone in her life to be with the woman she loves. Rosie thanked the listener (whose name was Steph) for calling in and sharing her story. Rosie said she's always interested in people who didn't realize they were gay until they were older. Rosie said she has friends who are just coming out now in their late 30s.
Rosie took a call from a listener who LOVES Rosie Radio and is sad they're leaving. Rosie said she's sad too but excited about her new job and she said you never know, someday she might be back! This caller is a huge Howard fan and was so pissed at him when he was an ass to Rosie for so long. The caller mentioned the Oprah/Howard feud and Rosie said she didn't even realize there was a feud between them. Rosie said she realizes that Howard has a problem with Oprah but she's not sure Oprah has a problem with Howard. Rosie said she doesn't have any insider information though, she's just guessing and she's never had a conversation with Oprah about it. The caller said she hopes Rosie can mend the fences between Oprah and Howard. Rosie said she doesn't speak for Oprah but she doesn't think Oprah holds a lot of time in her mind thinking about Howard. Rosie said Oprah goes towards the things that draw her and doesn't pay attention to the things that don't.

Editorial: City should listen to the public
If you go to the trouble of asking someone for their opinion, the least you can do is listen to what they have to say.
Last year, the city hired Nielsen Consumer Insights to telephone 501 Calgarians as part of its review of the Community Standards Bylaw.
Only 22 per cent of respondents expressed concern about backyard fire pits, and 39 per cent said neighbourhood noise was a problem. The same survey, conducted between October and December 2015, found that 45 per cent of Calgarians deemed the upkeep of properties to be a significant issue, 34 per cent felt the same about weeds and long grass and 34 per cent expressed concern about graffiti.
Given the tepid level of concern, one would think that would be the end of the conversation and the city would get on with other tasks, such as ensuring the best value for every tax dollar spent. Instead, city politicians are now considering implementing stiff new rules and higher penalties.
"The vast majority of people are getting along just fine, but there's a minority who cause problems," said Coun. Evan Woolley, the vice-chairman of the city's community and protective services committee.
"We need the tools to deal with those crappy neighbours, and these changes will tweak the bylaw to make that possible."
If there isn't a perceptible problem — and the city's own survey proved there isn't — it should leave well enough alone.
That's not the approach the city should be taking at all. If there isn't a perceptible problem — and the city's own survey proved there isn't — it should leave well enough alone.
It's one thing to insist that all backyard fires must have a metal spark guard to reduce the risk of causing an unintentional blaze, but there's no need to increase the fine for too much smoke or burning after 1 a.m. from a minimum of $100 to $375, and hike the maximum fine from $500 to $750.
It is also recommended that it become illegal to deliver unaddressed, non-commercial mail to homes bearing a "no junk mail" sign. The city isn't finished with its meddling: the boom and rumble of outdoor musical events will be limited to 85 decibels, as measured inside neighbouring properties, and the fine for excessive noise on private property will rise from a minimum of $50 to $125, and jump from $100 to $250 as a maximum, if council approves the changes.
There have to be rules and penalties in place to ensure Calgarians get along with one another. But given that the city's own survey found residents are generally content, it doesn't make sense to needlessly ratchet up the fines. The city should address real problems, not imaginary ones.

Well, I figured I would give you some updates on a few projects I've been toying at as I've worked. I'm going to give you guys a status on it.
First up, Project Bookshelf is back on the table. I'm going to create a Project Page for it later, and drop some images. What Bookshelf is, is a Drupal based setup for story archiving. It's basically what I've done on Fanbards.net, and is being built on the Panopoly distribution of Drupal. It has three content types: Writing Prompts, Story Front Page, and Chapter Pages. It also has a panelized layout with Quick Tabs setup for user contributions and use content creation setup based on my user dashboard, built with Homebox. I'll be working on that and getting it stable then asking the guys on the Drupal pages and groups how I would go about making this a good distro.
Project Snapping Turtle is still in planning stages. I have to figure out how I want to do this and start paying for things and saving up for plans and such. I will probably have to setup a GoFundMe Campaign on this for the basics and the most expensive parts of the build. I work in a Home Depot, so I know that a lot of structure should be easy, but I need to get tools and such as well. Not to mention the foundation trailer.
Which brings us to Fall Creek Campground and Brazos Banks Tiny House Communities. I'm going to want to do this first as they will provide experience and knowledge for the big project of Sunshine, TX. Sunshine however is going to require more than just money. It's going to require commitment from you, the people. I'm going to want people to donate not just money, but themselves for that project. I want to build up enough of a population to incorporate as a real Texas town, and that needs legal work.
I've got all of this in mind, and if you are willing then I ask that you help out, either in cash or in moral support, or even experience if you have it that would be beneficial to all these projects. I WANT to prove a green ecofriendly town is possible. I want to do this and start with these projects. But projects of this magnitude require folk who believe to provide support, in some way shape or form.
So let me know what you think, comments are always welcome.

Lower emissions and increased horsepower for the nation's railroads.
The railroad industry utilizes more than 6 billion gallons of diesel fuel each year, so even a one percent increase in fuel efficiency can provide huge returns. Additionally, complying with EPA emissions standards is a costly venture in the railroad industry—as is the cost to replace a locomotive engine.
CleanFlex technology is especially well suited for use on locomotive engines, where horsepower and fuel efficiency are key concerns. Retrofitting CleanFlex technology on a locomotive is a relatively simple process that affords huge returns in performance, engine life and cost savings.
Having the 120-proof ethanol blend on hand at rail fueling facilities is typically not a hurdle.
CleanFlex is currently working with two Class A railroads at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, to prove how the CleanFlex retrofit can apply to diesel locomotive engines. The results are extremely promising.

Now lets see, I really like that big silver ball at about 6:00 on this clip. Trouble is I am in a condo. Small condo. Second floor. Maybe I can talk a friend of mine into building one of these contraptions. Maybe. Acquisition of necessary hardware presents some problems.
Oh well. Hope springs eternal.

I'm 8 weeks & looking for recommendations for an online baby tracker app, prerrably a site that automatically sends email updates on baby's development. I used Baby Centre Canada for Dirty Delete and even though she's 20 months old, I still like getting the email updates for her and I can't seem to to sign up with the same email address for two different babies. I guess I could use a different email but I really want to use my main one since it's linked to my cell phone, my work blackberry, my work PC & laptop.
Any recommendations?

REWARD!! Michigan DNR Offers Big Reward For Plan To Block Invasive Fish
If the fishing world had a most-wanted list, Asian carp surely top it. There are plenty of despised invasives plaguing U.S. waters, but how many of them have a $1 million dollar bounty on their heads? That's what the Michigan Department of Natural Resources just dropped on the table. Show the agency a viable plan for stopping those silver and big head carp from reaching the Great Lakes and you could be eligible for a sweet payday. In case you haven't already heard the tale, Asian carp are prolific breeders that can reach 50-pounds. The filter-feeding invasives consume massive amounts of the tiny plants (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) that feed native forage species, along with juvenile sport fish such as walleye and yellow perch. Disrupting the food web can wreak havoc on local fisheries. Read the story here with link to DNR 12:21

Ziggurats vs. Pyramids
The ziggurats of Mesopotamia were the 'main events' in their respective city-states while the pyramids of Egypt were beautiful, confined graves. One of these magnificent triangular structures was a place of gathering, just as the other was illegal to enter as a civilian. These are the two most symbolic and astounding architectural creations in history, at least for their shape.
Both the ziggurat and the pyramid were recognized as specific buildings. The Ziggurat was a place of gathering, not only for worship, but for sales as well. During a religious service, there would be salesmen yelling to the citizens about the deals for his cattle. To be frank, no such thing would be allowed in a pyramid, much less a citizen be allowed in a pyramid in the first place. Pyramids were oversized, astounding gravestones for the pharaohs, or god-kings, not to mention that they were nearly completely enclosed. For those who follow the Star Wars films, entrance to the Pharaoh's Tomb was just about as complicated as reaching the core of the Death Star, if not more so.
Why it was so challenging to enter a pyramid was simple. The pharaohs in Egypt were gods that walked among the living. When these gods passed on they were buried under millions of pounds of limestone, so as to prevent anyone from disturbing their eternal slumber. The reason there was so much more security around the pyramids was because pharaohs were seen, heard, and possibly touched by the citizens. In Mesopotamia, the gods used the ziggurats as steps toward the sky. There was no physical being buried within the ziggurat. In fact, the idea of the pyramid and the ziggurat were nearly opposite. Ziggurats were protected by their respective gods, and pyramids protected their god-kings. Either way, what were protecting or being protected was marvelous to look at.
Easily the most stunning architectural pieces of their times, pyramids and ziggurats attracted many an eye. More so...

A Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution is an investment worth making and one that will pay for itself by producing a considerable return. However, when shopping for a DCIM solution you want to make sure to choose the one that best fits your long-term business needs.
In todays market, there are many vendors who claim to offer the best DCIM solution but caveat emptor is a good rule to follow. Some vendors offer a complete solution, while others offer only a partial solution. Before you make a final decision, do your research. Review Gartner and other analyst firms' research to determine who the leading DCIM suppliers are, and dive deeply into the software vendors' websites to get a better sense of their range of services and solutions. In addition, do your due diligence and ask a lot of questions. If its the right DCIM provider, they wont be hesitant to provide responses to all your questions and back it up with real-world customer success stories. Needless to say, the best vendors will give you that feeling of confidence not only in the DCIM solution, but also in the companys ability to support you through installation.
When window shopping for a DCIM solution, make sure you keep the checklist of must-ask vendor questions handy:
- How long have you been in business?
- Make sure you don't select an unproven entity or a novice company. You don't want to get involved with a fly-by-night operation.
- Make sure they can clearly demonstrate DCIM expertise.
- Is DCIM all you do?
- Is DCIM what they do, all day, every day?
- Is it what they are passionate about?
- Or is DCIM just a sideline operation that they don't concentrate on fully and might get lost among their larger concerns?
- Can you do a POC?
- If they are proud of and confident in their DCIM product, they should be able to provide a proof of concept (POC).
- Be wary of any company that won't do this. It's a red flag.
- Is the DCIM solution fully operational? Many contenders for business fail at this point.
- Do you have customer references I can contact?
- They should have clients who are happy with the product and willing to be advocates.
- See if you can talk to one of their customers in a business similar to your own.
- Does your solution monitor my data center assets from Dock to Decom?
- You need a DCIM solution that will keep track of your assets from when they land on the loading dock, until they are decommissioned through their entire lifecycle.
- How difficult is it to get your solution up and running?
- Is it going to take weeks, or months?
- Will they provide help every step of the way? How do their customers rate their customer service?
- How difficult is it to migrate the data you already have in your current systems to the new system?
- How many people will I need to dedicate to your DCIM solution?
- Youll need to know this for personnel planning and scheduling.
- If you are a large enterprise, ask if the vendor can provide a dedicated person or team to help deploy your DCIM solution.
- Can your solution handle asset lifecycle management, capacity planning, power monitoring and more?
- Figure out what your priorities are.
- What do you need monitored, measured and maximized?
- Make sure the DCIM solution can deliver specifically what you need.
- Figure out what your priorities are.
- Will your solution make all my stakeholders happy, including the CIO?
- This is related to the preceding question: in addition to management and monitoring, you'll need to share what you learn with different groups and departments within your organization.
- Does this solution provide the types of reports you would need?
- And if it doesn't, can they be created and by whom?
- Are these reports customizable?
- This is related to the preceding question: in addition to management and monitoring, you'll need to share what you learn with different groups and departments within your organization.
- How scalable is your product?
- Data Centers are becoming larger, denser and more complex.
- Can the DCIM solution handle the kind of volume you'll need?
- How often are you polling?
- How much of that information has to be stored long-term?
- Data Centers are becoming larger, denser and more complex.
- Does your product have alarms and alerts?
- Do they have the capability to warn the management before a disaster happens when there is still time to avoid it?
- Do they offer a "what if" scenario for disaster prevention testing?
- Can you tell me about your security?
- Was the DCIM solution developed with security in mind?
- Have they been certified secure by a neutral third party?
- Are there any examples of security issues that were handled expediently by their DCIM solution?
- How well does your solution integrate with my existing systems and assets?
- Is the solution agnostic?
- Is the architecture flexible? Is it web-based?
- Does the solution integrate with mission-critical ITSM systems? Virtualization and other platforms?
- Are there pre-built connectors to other systems?
- Can it communicate with your other systems to give you a single pane-of-glass?
- You don't want any of your vital information siloed and unreachable.
- Do you provide training?
- Make sure the minute you make a purchase that your vendor doesn't disappear. You'll need help getting your team up to speed, and making sure they see the value and can use the solution independently. If your team is not confident in how the solution works, and don't see the benefits, they won't use the solution.
- How do I track my savings?
- Can they provide reports that you can present to your upper management to justify the solution purchase?
- Ask how long it will be before you see a real ROI.
Your potential DCIM solution provider should be an open book, so ask for a demo, a POC, references and make sure to contact them all. You don't want to end up with shelfware, a solution nobody uses. You owe it to your organization to perform some window shopping for a DCIM solution in order to make sure its the right one for your business and your long-term goals. And if it is, then you'll be the customer they'll be calling for a reference to share successes and ROI gains.

Intraoral digital imaging (or intraoral radiography) is a common method of obtaining close-range intraoral x-rays of a patient's teeth and the surrounding tissues for evaluation of development and/or damage. Unlike extraoral imaging, which takes place outside the mouth, intraoral radiography involves placing a sensor inside the patient's mouth for a close-up digital x-ray. This kind of imaging is often used in cases where the dentist needs to see a small area in great detail. It can be used alone or in tandem with extraoral digital imaging to create a full picture of the patient's oral health.
Thanks to the level of detail made possible by intraoral imaging techniques, the resulting high-fidelity images are critical in identifying problems like bone loss, cavities, and periodontal disease, as well as allowing dentists to follow the development and health of the teeth and their deep roots. The relative ease of use of intraoral x-ray systems makes this kind of radiography the most commonly used method during office visits.
The digital aspect of today's intraoral imaging systems means that dentists have access to instant x-ray processing. With a quality sensor, a dentist can get an inside look at the root system and tooth structure of any patient within a few short minutes via digital transmission. The small sensor can also be easily rotated and re-positioned inside the patient's mouth to take a variety of x-ray types from different angles for the most accurate evaluation and diagnosis.
When used along with panoramic images from extraoral radiography, the two sets of x-rays can work together to help both you and your patients understand your diagnosis and recommendations.
Get high-resolution images of your patients' teeth with Suni Medical Imaging Inc.'s innovative, user-friendly x-ray system technology. We aim to produce low dose radiation x-ray systems that are safe for patients; out of nine industry-leading intraoral technologies, our two systems—the Suni IQ and the SuniRay2—were found to expose patients to the least amount of radiation.
Our systems are simply built better than those of our competitors. The high impact sensor design means that our intraoral systems offer superior digital sensor performance and last up to two years longer than their counterparts. The systems also feature convenient software for easy patient file management and local storage of images.
Suni Medical Imaging, Inc. has been providing dentists, oral surgeons, and other medical professionals with cutting-edge technology to increase diagnostic capabilities for more than 20 years. If you'd like to learn more about our intraoral imaging products and/or obtain pricing information for the Suni IQ and SuniRay2 systems, browse our product catalog or call us at 1-800-GET-SUNI.

A confirmation email will be sent to confirm your booking. Once your bike arrives in the workshop one of our mechanics will complete an assessment and let you know if there will be additional cost (such as replacement parts). If you have a specific repair or any questions please call 0207 924 5636 or email us.
Which service do I need? If you're unsure, please visit us at the shop. We can check your bike in person and can tell you what service is required and if any replacement parts are needed.
How long will it take to service my bike? If your bike is pre-booked, we aim to complete the service within the same day the bike arrives, and within 24 hours depending on availability of parts. We ask that bikes arrive at the workshop by 9am weekdays and 10am on Saturday. We assess all bikes on arrival to get an accurate estimate of the time it will take us to service the bike. We can discuss with you if there are any special order parts that may hold us up, and arrange a specific collection time with you. If you have a deadline just let us know when you bring the bike in and we'll do our best to make sure it's ready!
How do I book a service? Use the online form above, call the shop on 0207 924 5636, email us, or visit us at 176 Northcote Road, London, SW11 6RE.
Can I change the day of my service? You can change the date or get a refund for your booking up to 3 days before the scheduled service slot.
Do I get a warranty on parts? All parts from Everyone Bikes come with a manufacturer warranty, this varies in length depending on the company. Customer supplied parts are not covered by any labour or manufacturing warranty with Everyone Bikes.
What happens if you find something else wrong with my bike during the service? We carry out a comprehensive assessment of your bike and let you know any replacement parts it needs before we start work on it. But sometimes unforeseen issues come to light once a repair begins. Should this happen, we will always call you to discuss before going ahead with additional work that would change your estimate.
What happens if something still doesn't feel right after the service? We place great importance on our after-service care and customer service. If you have any questions, concerns or need anything adjusting please don't hesitate to get in contact and we will do our upmost to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
I can't collect my bike after the service, what happens? We're happy to hold the bike for 7 days from the date of completion. After that we will charge £2 per day storage fee up to a maximum of 30 days. If the bike is still with us after 30 days, we will sell the bike to recoup the costs of service/repair (see our terms and conditions for details).

if you go
� Journey, Def Leppard and Pretenders
� 6 p.m. Friday, July 13.
� Comerica Park, 2100 Woodward Ave., Detroit.
� Tickets start at $39.50.
� Call 313-471-7000 or visit 313Presents.com.
This is not the first time Journey and Def Leppard have gone on through the night on tour together.
The hit-laden bands from either side of the pond hit the road together during 2006, at an interesting time for both. Journey was thrown for a loop when singer Steve Augeri, who had replaced Steve Perry eight years prior, had to bow out near the start of the tour due to throat problems; Jeff Scott Soto was hastily added to fulfill the dates. Def Leppard, meanwhile, was in a commercial low from the tepid showing of its then-new album, �Yeah!�
The tour, however, was a box office success, and the proverbial good time was had by all, including the bands. And that made it easy to get the bands back together for a 58-date summer outing this year.
�It�s unbelievable � better than expected,� Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen says by phone. �It was great the last time we toured with Journey, and here we are now. We�ve both had a bit of resurgence. We�re on our game, as is Journey. We�re doing some stadiums, and people are showing up and so excited about it.
�We�ve been there before, but it�s kind of nice to be part of that kind of upward trend, again.�
The shows � which also feature the Pretenders � have no shortage of hits, of course.
Journey brings worldwide record sales of more than 75 million and a 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction along with staples that include the iconic �Don�t Stop Believin�,� the song that put the nonexistent �South Detroit� on the map.
In Def Leppard�s case, it�s more than 100 million records sold worldwide, two diamond-certified albums � �1983�s �Pyromania� and 1987�s �Hysteria� � and a singles roster that includes �Photograph,� �Rock of Ages,� �Pour Some Sugar On Me,� �Love Bites� and many more.
�The music fits together well,� Journey�s Jonathan Cain says by phone. �We�re so different than them. Our sound is different, (with) keyboards and our ballads. We just go different places with our music, so I think it�s going to be a really different musical night.�
Journey, however, spent last year touring under the shadow of a one-side social media feud waged by guitarist Neal Schon against Cain. Business and political matters appeared to be at the heart of it, but Def Leppard�s Collen, 60, reports that �they�re lovely.�
�Obviously, we know there was some stuff going on, but we don�t see it and they play amazing every single night.�
Cain, meanwhile, promises that Journey is �clicking� again and has gotten past whatever issues existed.
�Neal and I have reset,� says Cain, 68, who�s married to minister and presidential advisor Paula White. �We didn�t even talk about it. We don�t have to. It�s over. It was a big misunderstanding to a large degree. We didn�t have to explain it. Time heals everything.
�And the music�s bigger than those kinds of disagreements. When I walked into the room for rehearsals I could see (Schon) was ready to go again. He�s excited to go out there and play together, and I think the brotherhood is restored in a good way and we�re just out there for the fans and the legacy.
�We just got the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so you want to live up to that and I think that�s the spirit you go out with, not anything else.�
Both groups, meanwhile, are looking forward to current and future projects.
Cain has had a busy past year, releasing a Christmas album, �Unsung Noel� and publishing a memoir, �Don�t Stop Believin�...,� along with a companion album, �The Songs You Leave Behind� � a collection of 19 songs from his pre-Journey career � that came out last month.
�These songs weren�t written to be hits,� Cain says. �They weren�t written to be commercial. They�re just telling a story. You have to define yourself � Who is Jonathan Cain? Who is the guy who wrote �Faithfully?� I wanted to find that guy again, what�s his story? If I didn�t get all these songs done and recorded and out, I wouldn�t have felt complete. It was something I had to do.�
Cain also hopes to apply some writing to Journey again soon � possibly for the group�s first new album since �Eclipse� in 2011.
�I�d like to visit that,� Cain says. �I�d like to get with Neal and find out what he�s got on his mind, get with Arnel (Pineda, Journey�s singer since 2007), just start gathering (songs). I hope that during this tour we can start working a plan out and find a window to do it. I think we could do something great.�
Def Leppard has similar hopes for following up its self-titled 2015 album. Collen � who left the tour for a bit last month after the birth of his new son � says he, frontman Joe Elliott and bassist Rick Savage have been writing new songs since last year and may start to work on recording backstage, like the group did with 2008�s �Songs From The Sparkle Lounge� album.
We�re so busy with touring anymore we just have to fit it in-between,� says Collen, who�s produced a new album for Tesla and has finished the second studio album by his other band, Delta Deep. �Gone are the days when you say, �We�re gonna take this time off and go into the studio.� That was before the laptop, you know. Now if you get an idea for a song, instead of doing a demo and finishing it up later, you can gather everyone together and finish the whole thing off. You can just follow your inspiration and not wait, which I think is great.�
� If You Go: Journey, Def Leppard and Pretenders perform at 6 p.m. Friday, July 13, Comerica Park, 2100 Woodward Ave., Detroit. Tickets start at $39.50. Call 313-471-7000 or visit 313Presents.com.

Sleepless Nights
Yeah, I'm kind of a bitch when I'm tired. Three AM is not a pleasant time for anyone, honey. I suppose I'm still getting used to sharing a bed with someone else.
Once I got past that inconsiderate phase, though, I would try to pat his back and feel sympathy towards him. I hate it when things are out of my hands. All I'm able to do to help him is make him hot honey lemon drinks to soothe his throat, something I learned to do while working at a restaurant during my college years. I don't think it's a coincidence that I started having nightmares about waitressing again.
He finally went to see someone yesterday so that he could rule out bronchitis or pneumonia. Instead of seeing a doctor, though, he was directed to a nurse. I have huge respect for nurses. One of my best friends is a nurse. However, they're not doctors who are more knowledgable simply because of how much more schooling they have.
Hubby was sent away with some Mucinex and Claritin knock offs that obviously don't work as he was coughing up a storm last night, too. I'm feeling that little tickle in my throat, a stuffy nose, and bouts of bad headaches. I'm downing a lot of orange juice and vitamin C in an effort to stop the cold in its tracks.
You know how men supposedly turn into huge babies when they're ill? That's not the case with Hubby, thank goodness. I'm terrible when I'm sick, though. I burrow myself in blankets and sleep until I can't sleep anymore. I won't shower, clean, cook dinner, or change clothes. It's bad, folks.
We're having a tough few days here, which I'll go into further later this week. I'm sure we'll be laughing about this a few months from now. Hopefully.
P.S. I saw a pin on Pinterest that eating marshmallows would help a sore throat so we purchased some on our last grocery run. I think it's just an excuse to eat tons of marshmallows without guilt because it totally did not work for us.

I started writing As The World Dies ten years ago and it took two years to complete the online serial. Then came the self-publication in 2008, followed by it getting picked up by Tor and reissued in 2011. Though As The World Dies is ancient history to me, it's brand new to those just discovering it. It's always gratifying to hear from new readers that are enthralled with the story about Jenni & Katie escaping into the Texas Hill Country.
Whenever I'm notified that the books have been spotted on a "best of" list, I'm always excited. It's a reminder that books can literally have a very long shelf life after a writer has moved on to new projects.
Therefore, I'm very excited to see As The World Dies on Screen Rant's 11 Zombie Novels That Deserve The Walking Dead Treatment. As The World Dies clocks in at #4, after Jonathan Maberry's Rot & Ruin, Peter Clines's Ex-Heroes, and Mira Grant's Feed. Fans have been clamoring for years for either a television show or film series, so it's nice to see the trilogy acknowledged on this list. I don't have control over whether or not the books ever hit the small or big screen, but I'm hoping the trilogy will one day.

We all know of the proverb 'history repeats itself', but not many are fortunate to witness it with their own eyes. That is exactly what we are going to witness with 'Bottoms Up', the longest running musical entertainer in the history of English theatre in India. Directed by Bharat Dabholkar, the play took India by storm in the 80's and is back with more for the spectators to savor for. But behind the success story of the play are other heartwarming stories too. Not many know that Arshad Warsi and Maria Goretti met each other for the first time during 'Bottoms Up', and the rest is a success story of a happy marriage.
Running for 15 years at a stretch, the play has made many performers who they are today and superstars in their own rights. Arshad Warsi, Maria Goretti, Javed Jaffrey, Sunita Rao, Kunal Kapoor and Shahid Kapur, all were a part of this magical journey. Though the essence of the show remains the same there are a few changes in the storyline keeping in mind the time gap. 'Bottoms Up' has thus created emotional and funny stories, with its previous run, and without doubt will craft many more.

Know the basics
What is Varicose veins surgery?
Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins in your leg. They tend to run in families and are made worse by pregnancy and if you do a lot of standing.
Veins in your legs contain many one-way valves to help the upward flow of blood back to your heart.
If the valves fail to work properly, blood can flow in the wrong direction, causing varicose veins.
Why is Varicose veins surgery performed?
Surgery should help prevent the symptoms and complications that varicose veins cause.
Understand the risks
What are the risks of Varicose veins surgery?
Support stockings can often help the symptoms caused by varicose veins.
There are other treatments such as injections (foam sclerotherapy), radio-frequency ablation (RFA) or endovenous laser ablation (EVLA).
Varicose veins can come back.
It is important you understand the risks and complications before having this surgery. If you have any questions, please consult with your doctor or surgeon for more information.
Know what happens
How do I prepare for Varicose veins surgery?
The operation is usually performed under a general anaesthetic. The operation usually takes 20 minutes to three hours.
Your surgeon may disconnect the superficial veins from the deep veins in your legs through a cut on your groin or the back of your knee. They will probably make many small cuts along the length of the varicose veins and remove them.
Often the main varicose vein is 'stripped out' using a special instrument.
What happens during Varicose veins surgery?
You should be able to go home the same day or the day after.
You should be able to return to work within a few days, depending on your type of work.
As long as your wounds have healed, you should be able to carry out normal activities as soon as you are comfortable.
Regular exercise should help you to return to normal activities as soon as possible. Before you start exercising, ask the healthcare team or your GP for advice.
If you have any questions or concerns, please consult with your doctor or surgeon for more information.
What happens after Varicose veins surgery?
As with every procedure, there are some risks. You should ask your surgeon to explain how these risks apply to you.
The possible complications of any procedure include an unexpected reaction to the anaesthetic, excessive bleeding or developing a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis, DVT).
For a varicose veins surgery, there are specific complications which are:
- Developing a lump under a wound
- Numbness or a tingling sensation
- Damage to nerves
- Continued varicose veins
- Developing thread veins
- Swelling of your leg
- Major injury to the main arteries, veins or nerves of your leg
You can reduce your risk of complications by carefully following your doctor's instructions for preparing for the surgery, such as fasting and stopping certain medications.

TwitterTesla CEO Elon Musk has a new blog post addressing the news of his cars catching on fire.
The full post is below.
Musk reiterates that the Model S is one of the safest cars on the road.
"Despite multiple high-speed accidents, there have been no deaths or serious injuries in a Model S of any kind ever, " says Musk. "Of course, at some point, the law of large numbers dictates that this, too, will change, but the record is long enough already for us to be extremely proud of this achievement."
As for the reports of Teslas catching on fire, he says:
There are now substantially more than the 19, 000 Model S vehicles on the road that were reported in our Q3 shareholder letter for an average of one fire per at least 6, 333 cars, compared to the rate for gasoline vehicles of one fire per 1, 350 cars. By this metric, you are more than four and a half times more likely to experience a fire in a gasoline car than a Model S! Considering the odds in the absolute, you are more likely to be struck by lightning in your lifetime than experience even a non-injurious fire in a Tesla.
Those metrics tell only part of the story. The far more deadly nature of a gasoline car fire deserves to be re-emphasized. Since the Model S went into production mid last year, there have been over 400 deaths and 1, 200 serious injuries in the United States alone due to gasoline car fires, compared to zero deaths and zero injuries due to Tesla fires anywhere in the world.
There is a real, physical reason for this: a gasoline tank has 10 times more combustion energy than our battery pack. Moreover, the Model S battery pack also has internal firewalls between the 16 modules and a firewall between the battery pack and passenger compartment. This effectively limits the fire energy to a few percent that of a gasoline car and is the reason why Dr. Shibayama was able to retrieve his pens and papers from the glove compartment completely untouched after the recent fire (caused by a high speed impact with a tow hitch). It is also why arsonists tend to favor gasoline. Trying to set the side of a building on fire with a battery pack is far less effective.
Musk has a three-point plan to deal with Teslas catching on fire:
First, we have rolled out an over-the-air update to the air suspension that will result in greater ground clearance at highway speeds. To be clear, this is about reducing the chances of underbody impact damage, not improving safety. The theoretical probability of a fire injury is already vanishingly small and the actual number to date is zero. Another software update expected in January will give the driver direct control of the air suspension ride height transitions.

Network-repair idiot-icon sought
One of our family laptops irregularly loses its WiFi connection. The connection is easily repaired following the standard Windows 7 path.

My book, The Yellow Suitcase, is now on sale on Amazon, starting Sept 10! Here is the back cover copy:
In a sleepy riverside town in the heart of Thailand, Ae Lin, a former Bangkok bar girl determined to put a painful history behind her, pours her passions into her new coffee shop and her resolve to create a life of her own making. But the past comes to find her in the form of an estranged and angry sister who insists she fulfill one remaining family obligation: to visit and pay respect to their dying father – which is the last thing she wants to do. As Ae Lin grapples with the desire to flee and the pressures to return, she meets Sai Kyin, a refugee from Burma, who had no choice but to leave home and all he loved behind. Prompted by the guidance of Luang Paw, a rather unconventional Buddhist monk, the stories of Ae Lin's and Sai Kyin's traumas converge as their memories unfold, in a tale about what happens to the fallen and what it takes to heal.
The Yellow Suitcase is an exploration of the devastating effects of dark family secrets where the lines between victim and perpetrator, and innocence and guilt, become increasingly blurred. The novel offers a poignant and heartbreaking portrait of the deepest kinds of betrayal, and a thoughtful rumination on forgiveness, healing, and the power of truth.

In other big news, Cy became a one-year-old today! We of course celebrate a person's birthday, but now I kind of feel like parents need to be celebrated on birthdays too–for managing to keep their kid alive that long! Haha, I'm kidding of course, but it sure does feel like a personal milestone.
Speaking of milestones, Cy just took his first real unassisted steps yesterday, the day before he turned one! He had taken a couple at my mom's house a few days before, but he was really for real walking yesterday. I'm excited and also trepidatious as I'm sure now I'll really have to start running after him, with all the new kinds of trouble he'll find to get into. He's also started clapping his hands, putting them together in a wai (the Thai way of greeting) when we say, "Sawatdee krap," and dancing when he hears music or any kind of beat. His dancing is so cute, especially when he adds a little extra butt wiggle.
To celebrate his birthday, we took him for his first trip to the zoo. His eyes were saucer-wide. I think his favorite part was feeding the animals.
We fed sheep:
An elephant:
And….a jaguar, 'cause why not.
His eyes were so big and serious when he was feeding the elephant in particular. I'm not sure he even processed seeing the whole elephant; I think he might have only been aware of this long hairy trunk coming at him. But he was undaunted.
I can't wait to take him again!
Thanks for stopping by this week and sharing in our celebrations! Join in for more fun around the world at Communal Global and Little Things Thursday!

summer writing program
So for the past two summers I've been teaching at the Squaw Valley Community of Writers near Lake Tahoe. They offer a screenwriting workshop that is an intensive week-long program focusing on craft. It's pretty much designed for writers who have a draft of a script that they want to perfect. I'm a big fan of programs like this one or the Film Independent Screenwriting Lab because unlike the Sundance Lab, you can actually get into them without knowing someone. They're not as well known, but they offer the same level of instruction and support.
The Squaw Valley program was created over forty years ago by a group of writers including the head of AFI's screenwriting department, Tom Rickman. It's basically like a summer camp for writers. The deadline for applications is Saturday April 25th. The cost of the program is $750.00.

Lakers Fan Wins $95K with Half-Court Shot, Will Use Money for Kobe's Last GameJanuary 4, 2016
The Los Angeles Lakers couldn't miss against the Phoenix Suns Sunday night.
Neither could their fans.
One lifelong supporter of the Purple and Gold nailed a half-court shot during a timeout, and in doing so won himself $95,000.
Lakers forward Julius Randle was apparently pumped, per Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News:
Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers
Congratulations to David Moya who hit the @MGMGrand Big Shot from half court & is going home $95,000 richer tonight! https://t.co/qwe6yIyAgx
According to MIke Trudell, the team's official reporter, the fan already knows what he'll do with part of the money:
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Everything going right for Lakers. Lakers fan hits halfcourt shot. Julius Randle rushes out to high five him. Fans gets a $95,000 check
Good for this guy.

This case might leave you shocked- a woman was arrested for DWI without consuming alcohol. Later, it was found that she suffers from a rare condition called 'Auto-Brewery' syndrome, in which the digestive system becomes its own little brewery.
The woman's lawyer presented evidences by a doctor that she suffers from a rare condition after which the charges against her were dismissed. Under this condition, which is also known as gut-fermentation syndrome, substances in the gut ferment food into ethanol henceforth a person's blood-alcohol to rise. It might be a baffling case for you, but not for doctors, who claim that the rare condition has been found in multiple patients.
For the first time, this condition was described in 1912 as 'germ carbohydrate fermentation' and first studied in the 1930s and 40s as a contributing factor to vitamin deficiencies and irritable bowel syndrome.
Doctors said that in this condition, a person shows all the symptoms that a person will exhibit when he has consumed too much alcohol like slurred words and confusion. Dr. Richard Peek, a professor of medicine and cancer biology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said that not much is known about the condition, but as per him there could be one reason to be blamed.
Peek said, "These observations show the importance of gastric microbiota or microbiome in altering functions. It really can regulate or cause disease such as irresistible bowel syndrome and it's been linked to metabolic syndrome, diabetes and fatty liver".
As per him, a person having this condition could be suggested to have a low carbohydrate diet. Peek said that in many cases this recommendation has worked. He also recommended to treat patients with antifungal medications to reduce the load of candida in microbiota.
Peek has recommended people should have good diet, be regular in exercise and occasional probiotics to achieve a healthy microbiome.

Top sports betting expert Joe Duffy of OffshoreInsiders.com tells us The odds for the 2015 Preakness Stakes are out and they look quite similar to the finish of the Kentucky Derby. American Pharoah is a 5/7 favorite to take the second leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.
Much like the Run for the Roses final results, the Pimlico Race Course feature race has Dortmond and Firing Line next at 5/1. Oddsmakers do not expect the win, place, and show party to be crashed, as Materiality is the No. 4 contender at 16/1.

Is it wrong to uproot your entire family so that you can live closer to a yarn shop? Because I'm giving it serious consideration.
Earlier this week, I went to hear my friend Allie read from her latest novel. Knitting figured prominently in her previous book, and fittingly, she'd held a reading at her local yarn shop. This time, coffee featured prominently (Allie is my type of girl) and conveniently enough, the yarn shop has a coffee bar inside. So off I went to Knitche, a lengthy drive, on a school night, because Allie is a great person, and there was yarn. And coffee. Really good coffee. And shortbread. And yarn. Did I mention the yarn?
Allie and I write about very different things. She writes Christian romance, and I...do not. I'm not even sure the book I'm working on will have a happy ending, and Allie is all about happy endings. She is also all about $14,000 espresso machines, exploding pajamas, and drugged chickens, but I am pretty sure they were happy drugged chickens. The thing about Allie is that she is funny and smart and warm, and that would come through even if she were writing about septic systems. Which she is not. But she could, and it would be a hoot.
She's also an amazing knitter. Check out the fancy-pants entrelac shawl:
Check out, too, the yarny goodness behind her. The shop, Knitch, is pretty close to perfect. They have a wide variety of well-chosen yarn, beautifully displayed. Everything is tidy without giving off the "don't touch" vibe; it's cozy without being cluttered. There's room to walk around and think about what you want to do, the staff doesn't pressure you, there are samples and swatches all over the place. There is a minimal amount of foo-foo eyelash yarn (this is crucial). And while it was mentioned before, there is a coffee bar behind the register. My only complaint is the location, because it is too far a drive for me to get there regularly.
Allie is a big believer in doing research for her books. For this one, she spoke with the good people of Intelligentsia Coffee, to learn all about specialty coffee. She learned how to make a latte from the number-three barista in the world. Thursday evening, she brought in a speaker from Intelligentsia to lead a coffee tasting and discuss the company's direct-trade model. It was fascinating to hear about their efforts to treat both their growers and their product with such care and respect. At one point, a woman asked whether the coffee we were drinking was certified shade-grown. It turns out the answer is no, but the guy went on to describe the farm it came from in meticulous detail, and the specific growing needs of that varietal of coffee tree, and the changes the farmer has implemented since entering into a relationship with the company. I can't help but think that kind of involvement translates into better coffee.
I managed to restrain myself in my purchases -- yarn enough for a secret project, and a few more skeins of Malabrigo to make myself a scarf. But that's only because I'm saving up for the move.
