In my last article, I laid out the baseline expectations for the support model and structure at most companies. In the past twenty years or so, these have been my observations and expectations any time I have started any new assignment in a new company. When starting a new position in a new company, there is a certain level of comfort, which comes from experience, in having at least a basic understanding of what to expect. There is always a technical learning curve that comes with anything new, but it makes the transition easier having a basic understanding of how things will be supported. That concept has served me well over the years. However, just as virtualization and cloud computing have changed the data center landscape, I think change in the support structure is well on its way. Now would be a good time to have a look at what works and what doesn't.
In my baseline analysis, I established that IT support structures are made up of different support silos and that the number of silos is a direct reflection of the size and scope of the corporate IT department as a whole. In the smallest of companies, the IT department may consist of only a couple of people. In that environment, I would presume that the IT department would be based on a single-silo support model. On the flip side of that coin, larger IT departments are made up of many different support silos, which are usually based on the different technologies used. For example, there could be a silo for servers and another for workstations. There could very well be several sub-silos for Windows and another silo for Linux. Before you know it, you have a long list of different silos, and with that, different teams for each.
I am going to assume that most of you who are reading this article have heard the term "virtual sprawl." Considering the speed and ease that virtualization brings with the deployment of virtual instances, it is very easy to imagine uncontrollable growth in the number of virtual instances. Following this same thought process, I propose that the same concept can be applied to what I like to call "silo sprawl." To expand on that, at least in the larger companies, there are so many different silos and sub-silos that it can be difficult to understand where the lines are and where responsibilities are established. As a result, the speed and agility that virtualization brought to the data center is quickly negated, what with all the different support teams and the number of different requests that have to be made to get even the most basic operational needs met and incidents resolved.
Let me give an example of this in what could be considered one of the most extreme cases, as we take a look at how different standard operational tasks could be implemented. The server build process is a great example to use to make my point. A request for a new virtual server build is submitted, and the first task is for one silo to find and reserve the next IP address and server name that are available. Once that is done, the task is closed and the request updated with this information. The next team uses that information to deploy a server from a template, using the server name and IP address provided in the previous task. Once the cloning and configuration is complete, that task is closed and the request updated. The next task might be to install the applications and tools that are needed, based on the purpose of the request. The tools and applications teams then continue in the process. Then you could add the security team, the backup team—the list could really go on and on. What are the different steps and processes used in your environment? From that, I believe you get my point.
Each team usually has a service level agreement (SLA) that comes with each of these different tasks. When it is all said and done and the task is complete, how many days did that take? What if something goes wrong along the way? Perhaps the team that builds and maintains the virtual images updates the virtual hardware and tools to the latest version for the host they are stored on, but the server build request has the server being deployed to a cluster that is not on the same version level, and as such, the image cannot not be deployed. The build process must then be put on hold as another request is made for the image team to correct this, and this request has an SLA of, say, twenty-four or forty-eight hours. Request after request after request: how in the world can things get done efficiently? The truth is, they get done eventually. However, there is nothing about that process, in my opinion, that is anything close to being efficient. To add to that inefficiency, most silos and teams are measured by the number of requests and the time it takes to resolve those requests. If someone on another team tries to be more efficient by taking care of the issue themselves, this opens up a can of worms. Without receiving requests, how could the first team justify its existence? When you get to that point, you know you have achieved silo sprawl.
In closing, I would like to make the point that too many silos are like having too many chefs in a kitchen. It doesn't work well and is something that needs to be reeled in and controlled. What makes this difficult is that when evaluating the way silos and support teams are established, there is usually a review of the number of people who might be needed going forward. This is especially true for companies that utilize managed services for their environment. The managed service team is looking to justify the headcounts to meet the required SLAs, and the company that the managed service team is supporting is looking for ways to do more with less. This presents conflicting agendas between the company and the service teams that will not lead to any real agility or efficiency going forward. Unfortunately for service teams that are looking to justify the current headcount, the future is going to mean automation being developed and applied to virtual environments as these environments become more like a cloud and less like a virtual infrastructure. Automation is the next topic in the continuation of these discussions, as we look to exchange what doesn't work with what will work and examine the changes needed to get there.

- Putting Lincoln into PerspectivePlace, Thought, and History in Recent Lincoln Scholarship
It is said that more words have been written in English about Lincoln than about any other figure in history with the exception of Jesus Christ. While dwelling on the infinite should actually be an infinite task, Abraham Lincoln was just a man, if indeed a great man. It is a testament to Lincoln's greatness that he still inspires so much scholarship, most of it quite good. Three recent books on Lincoln are no exception. Byron Andreasen's Looking for Lincoln in Illinois: Lincoln's Springfield; Joseph R. Fornieri's Abraham Lincoln: Philosopher Statesman; and John McKee Barr's Loathing Lincoln: An American Tradition from the Civil War to the Present all contain original perspectives on Lincoln that make them worth a reader's time.
Most think of Lincoln as being from Illinois, which would make him a midwesterner. Illinois likes to encourage this thought by calling itself "The Land of Lincoln." Of course Lincoln was actually born in Kentucky, moved to Indiana as a boy, and was a grown man, twenty-one years of age, when he and the rest of the Lincoln clan finally moved to Illinois. Andreasen informs us in the preface that his slim volume is the outgrowth of a project [End Page 187] to create wayside storyboards to aid visitors to various Lincoln sites gain better historical appreciation of the man himself. The project started with storyboards around Lincoln's adopted hometown, Springfield, Illinois, and that project is essentially recreated in this short but attractive book. Andreasen, a historian at the LDS Church History Museum in Salt Lake City, takes readers on a tour of fifty sites mostly in central Springfield that give insight into what the town was like in Lincoln's day. The book offers a helpful map of downtown Springfield with a numbered key to each of the sites discussed in the book.
One impression that one gets from the book is that Lincoln's story is typical of Springfield in that he was a transplant. As we meet various figures from antebellum Springfield a common theme is that the person came to Springfield from somewhere else. "Springfield was the center of Lincoln's world for a quarter century," writes Andreasen, "When he arrived here Springfield was, like himself, shaking off its rough, frontier beginnings." Springfield had roughly ten thousand inhabitants when Lincoln moved there. While that would make Springfield a larger town by the standards of the day, it was still a hardscrabble town. Andreasen notes that Springfield had a "boy problem" in that the young boys of Springfield were a bit on the rowdy side, eventually causing Springfield to set a curfew. Springfield was still rustic enough to have problems with prairie wolves, causing the town to organize periodic wolf hunts. Lincoln himself, it is noted, was fond of playing "fives," a sort of handball game brought over by Irish immigrants. A neighbor reports that Lincoln "kept his own horse . . . fed and milked his own cow." Andreasen's depiction of Springfield matches Lincoln's description of his own youth, "the short and simple annals of the poor." While Lincoln would cease to be poor as a successful lawyer, he clearly retained the common touch that his modest background in Springfield encouraged.
Andreasen also notes that Lincoln had as a barber a black man named William Florville. Florville himself came to Illinois from New Orleans, fearing he'd be captured and sold into slavery. "Travelling along Illinois' Sangamon River in 1831 [Florville] met an axe-wielding young man in a red flannel shirt emerging from the woods—twenty-two-year-old Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln took Florville to New Salem for overnight lodging and saw him off to Springfield the next day." Once Lincoln moved from...

Epiphany 7
February 19, 2017 Speaker: Murray Keith Series: Epiphany
Passage: Matthew 5:38–5:48
- Listen
- Downloads
†††In the Name of Jesus†††
Pastor Murray Keith
Text: Matthew 5:38-48
Date: February 19th, 2017; Epiphany 7; Series A
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Vengeance. This was the Law of the Old Testament.
In three separate places God gives this law to his people who were living in a very violent world (Exodus 21:24, Leviticus 24:20, Deuteronomy 19:21).
If someone took your sheep, you would take their sheep. If someone punched you in the face, you would punch them back. Tit for tat. Even-Steven. It seems fair!
But, once again, Jesus gets to the heart of the matter of what it means to love one's neighbour.
He said, "Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."
Jesus turns everything upside down! Give your other cheek. Give not only your spring coat but your winter parka too. Go the extra mile.
This teaching is one of the hardest pills to swallow.
If people have harmed us, our immediate reaction is to want revenge. We really want to make them pay. We want justice.
These days, we have the perspective that everything revolves around "my rights" and "what I am entitled to".
If those rights have been infringed upon in any way - look out!
Lawyers are kept busy with lawsuit after lawsuit.
People have sued for assault after someone tried to save their life with the Heimlich maneuver. McDonald's was sued for serving coffee that was too hot.
This is the culture we live in and it rubs off on us more than we are aware or like to admit.
We love it when we see people get revenge. When those who do wrong get what we think they deserve.
But this is not the way of Christ - and it is not our way either.
Evil can only be overcome with good.
What does revenge ever gain but to fuel the fire of hatred that exists within our sinful hearts and in the world?
Christ commands us, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
Revenge comes easy for us. It is the natural inclination of our sinful hearts.
Forgiveness is foreign to us – it is so difficult for us to love our enemies and pray for those who have hurt us.
But this way of love, forgiveness, and mercy that Jesus preaches is the better way.
Why? Because good always overcomes evil. Light always overcomes darkness.
Harbouring hatred and bitterness inside only ends up harming us. It eats away at us.
It rots our minds with a sinful decay as we relive the bad things that have happened to us over and over again. The anger we hold onto poisons us and holds us captive.
The only remedy to hatred and revenge is love and forgiveness.
We pray for those who hurt us and ask God to bless them, to heal them of their sin. To bring about repentance and forgiveness.
This is how good overcomes evil. Anything less is to throw gas on an open flame and feed the fires of hatred and evil!
Loving our enemies, those who hurt us, is not something that we can do on our own.
God enables us to do this because he has first loved and forgiven us.
The Holy Spirit works in us bearing this fruit of love and forgiveness.
The way of Jesus is the way of peace and forgiveness - and as his people, it is also our way.
When Jesus was betrayed by Judas and Peter sliced off the ear of Malchus in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus does not respond by getting revenge.
Instead he prayed. He called Judas the betrayer a "friend" (Matthew 26:50). He told Peter to put away his sword and he even healed the servant's severed ear (Luke 22:51).
Jesus willingly suffered and went to the cross to lay down his life for his friends and his enemies.
God so loved the world, even his enemies, that he sent his Son. Jesus was slapped and offered the other cheek. He was forced to go one mile and went the whole way to the cross.
He could have destroyed his enemies with a single word, but instead used his words to pray for his enemies, "Father, forgive them, they don't know what they do" (Luke 23:34).
How fortunate we are - because our sin makes us enemies of Christ. We are all natural born enemies of God.
With the exception of Jesus, every human being enters this world as God's enemy. In our sinful state, God terrifies us and we want nothing to do with him.
But because of God's love - he sent Jesus into our flesh to rescue us. To restore our relationship with him.
Because of the intense and perfect love that God's Son, Jesus Christ, has for us - he took our sin to the cross and defeated it. He endured the punishment that we, his enemies, deserve so that we don't have to.
Christ Jesus accomplished this for the world around two thousand years ago and he makes his gift of salvation personally yours today through his Word, through your baptism, and through the gift of his true body and blood.
Through these means of grace, your faith is stirred up and strengthened and you receive God's love, forgiveness, and eternal life.
Through these means of grace, you are enabled to love your neighbour - even your enemies.
Through these means of grace you are able to forgive the trespasses of others as you have been forgiven for your trespasses.
Having received God's love, mercy, and forgiveness - we can't help but extend that same love, mercy, and forgiveness to the world around us - even to those who have hurt us deeply.
In Christ, this is who we are and this is what we do. Amen.
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus unto life everlasting. Amen.

Sydney will host the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE), the largest annual tourism trade event in the country, this week at the new ICC Sydney. It's surely going to give the State's tourism and events industry a big boost.
Niall Blair, the NSW Minister for Trade and Industry, confirmed that the NSW Government had secured the four-day event. He anticipated the success of the function in the hope that the number of international delegates would be more than any other trade show.
It will also be a test for the ICC Sydney – the premier precinct for conventions, entertainment, and exhibitions in the Asia Pacific – to prove its power of attracting visitors for business purposes from around the world. The convention & exhibition centre went through a major renovation and reopened in December 2016.

Mr Blair said that he was eagerly waiting to welcome the exhibitors and show them the region's accommodation facilities, impressive food and wine, and beautiful spots.
The ATE this year will host the highest number of delegates than any other State. More than 700 buyers from 30 countries including 130 from Greater China will join the event. Mr Blair though the NSW capital to be the perfect place to organize the event as it is the home to not only NSW but the country's most iconic and remarkable attractions.

Here's a stumper: you've created a bypass code for a user under Block Page ->Bypass Codes, and as you're admiring your shiny new bypass code entry you note that there is a yellow Hazard symbol in the column under Linked Policies next to n/a. Furthermore the users bypass code doesn't work - it says that it must be linked to a policy, and there isn't a "link policy" button anywhere to be found.
This situation can be avoided entirely by creating each bypass code by clicking Policies in the left hand pane, selecting the relevant policy in the main pane, then jumping to Step 3. "Select Block Page Settings" and clicking Add Code. Create and save your new code, share it with the relevant user, and your done.
But say you've gone and created your bypass code by navigating to Block Page Settings in the left hand pane, selecting Bypass Codes underneath it, and clicking "+ Create a New Bypass Code." Don't worry, you haven't just wasted that time - click Policies in the left hand pane, select the relevant policy in the main pane, then jump to Step 3. "Select Block Page Settings," check the box next to the desired user, and then click Save.

Any chance of an updated version of this now that they have changed their entire interface. Who would think something so simple would be such a complex task, who ever designed OpenDNS interface needs a course in UX design.

Thanks for commenting, Mathiau - I will try to update this today. I agree that the OpenDNS UI has a lot of room for improvement. I could fill a web server with observations about its dissonance and inconsistencies. However, it's indispensable to my security posture!

March 13, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- Iran says it has charged five people with "disturbing public security" at demonstrations by teachers in Tehran on March 6 over low wages, Radio Farda reported.
Judiciary spokesman Alireza Jamshidi today said the accused don't have employment links with education.
The Defenders of Human Rights Center of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi condemned the arrests and called on authorities to give a positive response to the demands of the teachers' union.
Radio Farda reports that on March 12 three teachers were arrested in the Western city of Kermanshah.
The reason for their arrest or the charges they face have not been announced.
In recent months Iranian teachers have staged several protests over salaries and working conditions.

OAKLAND -- Sometimes the truth is best served with a sarcastic twist.
So perhaps injured cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha answered for several defensive players as he sat and overheard defensive backs Chris Carr and Stuart Schweigert answer questions following the Raiders' fifth loss in a row.
"You've got to score points to win," Asomugha said. "Tell them you've got to score, Stu."
So while there was a lot of attention focused on Carr, who was beaten for the game-winning touchdown with 3:11 left in the game, the sputtering offense bears a lot of blame.
Oakland lost to the Chicago Bears 17-6 Sunday at McAfee Coliseum. The Raiders took a 6-3 lead on a 52-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski with 4:04 left in the game but didn't lead for long.
The defense, which kept the team in the game for nearly 57 minutes, cracked when a subtle move by Bears receiver Bernard Berrian gave him just enough rough to shake Carr's coverage for a 59-yard touchdown and 10-6 lead.
"He got a step on me and once he had that step I sort of stumbled," Carr said. "He got me." The Raiders' defense would have to be perfect to get the team a win when coupled with an offense that has only four touchdowns in five games since scoring a season-high 35 points at winless Miami.
"It's frustrating because it shouldn't have to come down to that," linebacker Kirk Morrison said. "We played well all game long and one play shouldn't hurt us."
The Raiders (2-7) produced a season-low 193 yards, allowed four sacks and the passing game continued to flop. Josh McCown was 14 of 27 for 108 yards with an interception on a Hail Mary as time expired. He fumbled when sacked by Adewale Ogunleye to set up the Bears' final score.
Raiders coach Lane Kiffin was noncommittal as to whether McCown still gives the Raiders the best chance to win.
"We didn't win today, so we'll go back again and look at the film and see where we're at," Kiffin said.
But Daunte Culpepper, JaMarcus Russell, Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas couldn't do much in the Raiders' offense.
The Bears didn't respect the Raiders' receivers or the offensive line's ability to pass block, and most teams don't.
Kiffin noted when the Raiders went to three-receiver sets, the Bears didn't bother to bring in an extra defensive back most of the game.
"Once they were doing that early we tried to spread them out and throw a little bit," Kiffin said. "Didn't have much success doing that, throwing with those matchups there with the rookie corner (Trumaine McBride) and safety (Adam Archuleta or Danieal Manning) on two of our three wides."
McCown's longest play was a 24-yard run on his first play from scrimmage, which was designed for him to fake to Justin Fargas and take off to the left. His longest completion was 14 yards to Jerry Porter.
McCown was outdone in the second half by his counterpart, the maligned Rex Grossman, and left the Raiders' locker room with a sore thigh after being hit in the fourth quarter.
He also bemoaned the passing game's lack of timing nine games into the season.
"Some of those things today were just two or three inches here or there," McCown said.

The first ever BergHOFF Bloggers night was held last December 6, 2013. I got too excited when I saw Chef Michelle Adrilliana of Flavors on Fire Catering Services. I met Chef Michelle a couple of months ago. We were both chosen as Food Divas for Asian Food Channel. Wee!
As a blogger, I try to be very honest with what I write. I love cooking and i am passionate about good food .Last night, Chef Michelle prepared something special for us. The JAlapeno Alfredo was a hit. It actually looked so plain when i first saw it on the chafing dish. Chef Michelle's accidental noodle dish did not fail my taste buds.I didn't expect that a plain looking dish could taste really great!Now I am inspired to cook my own version of Jalapeno Alfredo! I just wish it will taste as good as Chef's creation! She did a cooking demo for us that night using Berghoff products.

This morning I had a meeting with the ambassador and four others to help him prepare for his talk on Asia
Monday 9 March 2015
This morning I had a meeting with the ambassador and four others to help him prepare for his talk on Asia. We came prepared with questions that the press may throw at him after his speech.
I had to leave the meeting early because I needed to escort the videographer and his assistant into the Manor House for more video footage from select individuals for more commentary on Connect to Success.
Tuesday 10 March 2015
Futuralia and the EducationUSA College Fair have been the primary focus of this Tuesday. OPA held our weekly meeting today of which we further discussed the organization and editing process of the Connect to Success video as well as the expectations and schedule of Futuralia this week. Today, us interns escorted the Harvard Rugby team for a lunch reception in the Manor House. I met many interesting characters. Even JFK's grandson is currently on the team but he did not come to the embassy today due to another vacation.
Wednesday 11 March 2015
Today was the first day that I volunteered at Futuralia. Teresa and I took the metro to the exhibit: Rua do Bojador, Parque das Nações – 1998-010 Lisbon
The Exhibition Center is located in a noble zone of Lisbon where it is possible to arrive fast and easily by car or using the vast network of public transportation available. Situated in the north bank of the river Tagus, the exhibition center is differentiated for being surrounded by green spaces, leisure areas, all sorts of interesting activities and a vast shopping area, where it is possible to enjoy pleasant moments. Once we arrived, Teresa left me at the "Destination USA" stand that American Corners and Fullbright shared. I gave out brochures and pamphlets as well as guided hundreds of students on studying abroad in the U.S. There was even a 3D printer that lured many students to our stand for demonstrations on digital design.
Thursday 12 March 2015
Today was my second day at Futuralia. American Corners talked about scientific experiments and compounds and gave demonstrations on chemical experiments meanwhile I continued giving students information. There was an Obama cardboard cutout which was a huge attraction for the Portuguese students to take photos with their friends. I decided to explore Futuralia today, so I went to the other pavilions where there were many demonstrations and noteworthy Portuguese people such as: a prestigious female surfer signing autographs, a scuba diving tank demonstration, theater acts, modeling scouts, and other exciting educational booths.
The systems of education and forms of teaching are different here compared to the system of education I experience in the U.S. The biggest difference that I have noticed in Portugal compared to the U.S. is the level of English fluency. Here in Portugal, sticking to a language that one chooses in lower/middle/highschool is taken very seriously and it is mandatory. Thanks to Futuralia, the largest education and employment fair for young people, I was able to accuratelly see the effects of this in action by the hundreds of students I was able to speak with personally.
Friday 13 March 2015
Knowing that it was my final day to volunteer at Futuralia was saddening. I enjoyed the personal contact I got to have with the curious students that I did not otherwise get to have during my typical days in my embassy office. American Corners talked about scientific experiments and compounds and gave demonstrations on chemical experiments meanwhile I continued giving students information. There was an Obama cardboard cutout which was a huge attraction for the Portuguese students to take photos with their friends. Faculty of Letters college students came to make cultural presentations and demonstrations such as dance, hip hop, and rap. At around 4:30pm, my boss drove me back to the embassy to aid in escorting the arriving guests for the Futuralia and EducationUSA reception to be held in the Manor House until 8 that evening. As I escorted guests after they finished their security screenings, I finally encountered what of the embassy animals: a black cat named Tripod. The cat's name is Tripod because it only has three legs. Our encounter was suiting considering it was, indeed, Friday the 13th. Other embassy animals include another cat whose name I do not know, as well as a female peacock named Kevin Maria. The embassy questioned the local zoo (Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa, which is a couple blocks away) about any animals missing, but the zoo said no. There are speculations that the peacock is a spy, but until that is proven, Kevin is a friendly embassy pet.
Once escorting the guests was finished, I helped myself to an enjoyable evening spent networking and munching on h'orderves after a strenuous week's job well done.

|I have a hibiscus that goes straight up in the air with a few side branches. Of course it blooms on the end of the branches. It needs to be pruned back and so I want to know can this be done and can I get the cuttings to root??
Sep 23, 2013 12:18 PM CST
|I have had great luck getting my cuttings to root. The Hibiscus was a double salmon and I cut it back each year when I put it in the greenhouse and it comes back and blooms each year. It got so big I had to give it away since I ran out of space in my greenhouse. If you look up your hibiscus you will see the best time to cut for rooting....here is a link from a printout I had when I was propagating it. I do not know if the link is any good anymore. I printed it out in 2009. http://www.trop-hibiscus.com/r... the title was Tropical Hibiscus - Propagation by Rooting. If the link does not work, search for that title and see if you an find it. Hope this helps.
Good luck.

When we last left Elena and the rest of the "Vampire Diaries" gang, things were quite literally in shambles. The Other Side was destroyed -- leaving Damon and Bonnie erased from the face of the earth -- Tyler was human again, Alaric was alive, and everyone's favorite supernatural town, Mystic Falls, could no longer support supernatural life.
Basically, needless to say, this fall's upcoming reboot season brings with it a ton of anticipation -- which is why fans were simultaneously thrilled and exasperated when the show debuted a "trailer" (note quotation marks) instead of a trailer during its panel on Saturday. The "footage" is absolutely hilarious -- Ian Somerhalder's dig at his "Lost" fate, and Nina Dobrev shading Somerhalder's failed "Fifty Shades of Grey" campaigning stand out -- but alas, there's no actual trailer for season six. Yet.
Still, this amazingness is 100 percent worth your watch:
"The Vampire Diaries" will return with all new episodes on October 2.

Hey there,
This is going to be a quick post/notification of new spring collections (a la nail varnish)!
These are the new essie ones (my favourite), and they cost around £9 a bottle. They are available off ebay, asos, liberty's and selfridges. Click here for the official site.
Here is the new O.P.I. spring range…
Below, there's a special collection – 'Alice in Wonderland' is inspired by Tim Burton's new film – these sell for £9-£10, and they're a pain to find, so i would recommend buying them online. Click here to look at a UK authorised opi retailer…
And here are the chanel ones…£13 a bottle…i'd recommend scavenging on ebay…
So, the main colours this spring are nude, pretty, and soft (apart from O.P.I's extra collection!) I'd recommend starting afresh this season with a lovely new nail polish – maybe you can buy one per season and build up a collection yourself (this is what i'm currently doing). My pick is Essie's 'Lilacism' (the second one to the right on the first picture).
Remember to apply a base and top coat with any nail polish, but most importantly, have fun with the colours!

SEATTLE - Mariners team president Chuck Armstrong assembled some members of the coaching staff in a clubhouse room this morning and ripped into them.
Armstrong says there's been a lack of improvement in individual players and an absence of urgency as the team has fallen to 17 games below .500.
General manager Bill Bavasi also held a closed-door chat with Manager John McLaren. McLaren came out and said he wants players to begin fearing for their jobs.
If the Mariners keep their current pace they'll lose 103 games this season. According to the Seattle Times, that would make them the first team in baseball history to lose 100 games with a payroll greater than $100 million.

|I just Googled Garden to see where our web site came up at. I found it about 4 or5 down on the list and then I clicked on it. So then I scrolled through all the articles and clicked on Adenium repotting and got a security warning normally when I get those I exit out of the site immediately but since I know this site I want ahead and read the article. Thought I'd let @dave know.

|I don't know why you're getting this. I've researched it and so far, come up with no good answers.
There is nothing on the NGA pages here that would trigger that warning, so I don't know why you're getting it. My only guess is you have some malware installed on your device there that's causing it, but that's just a wild guess. I'm going to continue to look into it.
If anyone else experiences this, I'd be grateful to hear from them.
Apr 23, 2016 6:24 AM CST
|I Googled "Gardening". Same thing, found gardening.org about the 5th listing. Clicked on it and it took me to NGA homepage. But no security warning.

It could be something on my phone I get those warnings a lot. I use an LG G3 phone
Apr 23, 2016 9:38 PM CST
|I just tried it again I got the security warning the first time on the Adenium repoting article. So then I tried the rest of the Articles and never got a security warning. After that I closed out all my pages and tried it all over from scratch and I haven't got a security warning yet.
Apr 24, 2016 5:27 AM CST
Garden.org Admin
|Is it only happening to you on that one article?
Apr 24, 2016 5:59 AM CST
|A few days ago I got a security warning on one NGA page but unfortunately I can't remember which one. It wasn't the Adenium one. If it happens again I'll make a more useful report than this one!
I just wanted to say, as an aside, that it's interesting to see the country differences. It sounds like in the US you are getting NGA within the first few Google results on the first page. When I Google "garden" here it automatically sends me to the Canadian site, google.ca, and on that NGA doesn't come up until the seventh page of results!
Apr 24, 2016 7:57 AM CST
|That was the only article I was clicking on it came up a total of 3 times. When I started clicking on different article's it stoped. I've tried it a dozen times and it hasn't happened any more.
Apr 24, 2016 7:57 AM CST

A couple of weeks ago on a Saturday morning, the East Coast Fragrance Society took a fragrance walk through Wilmington's famed Airlie Gardens. Airlie Gardens is home to the oldest live oak on the East Coast. In 1545, an acorn fell to the ground and grew into what is now lovingly called, "The Airlie Oak". What once was private property owned by the Pembroke Jones family in the late 1880's, the expansive garden is now open for the public's enjoyment. The original owners were Sarah Green and Pembroke Jones. The family named "the place Airlie in honor of his family home in Scotland, and Sarah calls it Airlie-on-the-Sound."
Our group arrived to the garden on a cool morning. It had recently rained. The grounds were drenched. We had to hop over many water puddles during the walk. The garden trail is approximately .9 miles starting at the garden services center. The entrance fee is $10.00 per person, unless you are a New Hanover county resident, which we are, so we got in for $5.00. I felt special.
The little group started the walk with our maps and pencils in hand to record our experiences olfactory wise. Honestly, the beautiful assault on our sights made it difficult for us to switch to using our noses. You should try turning off your sight and turning on your sense of smell. It is darn hard.
Honeysuckled Clipboard
The first garden we went into was the Seasonal Garden. Our only male said, "I smell wood," many times in this garden. There was fresh laid, woody mulch protecting the tulips and seasonal bulbs. So yeah, wood was the star here. There were colorful tulips, but they had no fragrance.
Next we walked to the Airlie Oak. AMAZING. The oak trees were full of spanish moss. We walked around the oak and were in awe of it's gigantic burls. Jaw dropping gorgeous. Here is a slideshow of the oak tree. This tree is such a treasure. While I stood amongst the hanging moss of this immense tree, I was reminded of the life-giving tree in the movie Avatar. It was a powerful moment. I noticed the spanish moss had no discernible smell. The ozonic storm smell was heavy in the air and probably overtook my olfactory sense.
The 500 year old Airlie Oak
Next, we walked over to Bradley Creek. Bradley Creek is a waterway flowing inland from the intracoastal waterway. Finally, we smelled something beside petrichor, ozone and damp mulch. Hey, don't get me wrong, petrichor and damp mulch are some good smelling stuff, but in this spot, we smelled wet and spicy things. We were standing in a clover patch and I think the rain made the clovers more intense. Have you smelled clovers before? They are green and spicy. Nice!
Bradley Creek
We continued our walk and noticed a distinct, floral smell in a corridor of wind that passed through our group.
"Do you smell that?" one woman said.
"I do. I do. I can smell it on the wind," I answered.
"It's only right here in this spot," and she moved her arms from left to right like a hula girl. "If I step away, it is gone."
"I don't see any flowers. How odd," I mused.
We huddled in the air current and inhaled deeply. Smiles all around! This is why we came. To experience just this! We smelled flowers and heady ones at that. There were no flowers with scent anywhere near our group. We were confused, but happy. In hindsight, I know where the floral scented air was emanating from, but that is later on in the story. I bet you are on the edge of your seat!
We moved onto the Spring Garden and on our way, people talked of the pine smell. Did I mention that North Carolina is the Pine Tree State? We were covered in the crisp smell of pine needles and resins. It was practically falling on us. I love the smell of pine. It is a comfort smell for me.
Back to the Spring Garden. FUN FACT: There are approximately 100,000 azalea bushes in Airlie Gardens and to see them in full bloom is majestic! Unfortunately, the azaleas were in their last stages and we only saw a few in bloom. This garden has a bubbling fountain and we floated a camellia in the water. Lovely!
Floating Camellia
Our next stop was the Camellia Garden. This garden has over 300 species of camellias. Sadly, camellia has no fragrance, but they are soft and complex and beautiful. This garden is a feast for the eyes and was filled with honeysuckle too. Of course, we sniffed and sniffed the honeyed sweetness and tasted a few drops of the nectar. We talked about being reminded of our childhoods.
Camellia Garden
Finally, we were inching towards the Pergola Garden. I wanted to go straight to the Pergola Garden when we started because of three things:
A. The white columned pergola with marble steps leading to the lake.
B. The swans.
C. The jasmine. The suspense was killing me.
The Swans, Cygnets and Wisteria
We walked around a bend and there was the jasmine. Oodles of it. We enjoyed smashing our faces in the flowers and feeling giddy with the indolic, sweet, narcotic fragrance. I plucked three sprigs and brought it home with me.
Of course, no visit to Airlie is complete without a visit to the Minnie Evans Bottle Gardens. Have a look at the pictures. This little haven is the epitome of cool art!
Minnie Evans Bottle Garden. I think I spied a perfume bottle!

P.S. Can you guess where the fragrant air was flowing from? Before writing this post, I studied my notes on my garden map and made the connection. The exact spot where we were standing during our mystery fragrance experience was in a direct line across the lake from the jasmine. I had an AH-HA moment!
This walk Smelled Downright Gorgeous!!

Environmental Health and Safety
May 15: The Laboratory Safety Five Target Area Assessment results from the 2017 initiative are now available. This assessment looked for compliance with the items targeted in the lab safety memo from the VP for Infrastructure and VP for Research: chemical waste storage, personal protective equipment (PPE), sharps and biohazard handling and disposal, access to emergency equipment and proper fume hood use. The results indicated a number of areas for improvement and a need for ongoing assessments of these areas of improvement.
June 1, 2017: The Tool Box Program gives supervisors tools to ensure safe work practices through tailored training and Safe Operating Procedure guidance documents. It is designed to cultivate a culture of safety and assist supervisors in fulfilling their safety-related duties by providing a framework to guide job-specific training given to their employees. EHS manages and maintains a variety of safety and regulatory compliance programs and offers a wide range of safety trainings; the Tool Box Program enhances the delivery of these programs with focused, brief training sessions.
UI APM 35.32.A-4 states: "Supervisors are responsible for providing safe environments and operations under their control, and are required to ensure that all reasonable and necessary precautions are taken to prevent accidents and to preserve the life and health of the employees, instructors, students and others under their supervision." In about ten to fifteen minutes, Tool Box Program meetings provide the knowledge for units to establish safety protocols that keep everyone safe on campus while maintaining compliance. All supervisors are encouraged to contact EHS at 208-885-6524 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up for an organized tool box meeting with the safety subject of their choice.
What training do I need?
Because we are frequently asked about our training courses and how to know which courses a particular person or job may need, we have prepared a matrix for supervisors to use as a guide in determining training. Based on answers to a list of questions, a training profile can be developed for each job. The matrix is intended as a starting point, and all of our general training must be accompanied by job/task-specific training from the supervisor or designee. Our website provides supplementary written materials on many topics, and we can provide supervisors with individual assistance upon request.
Any Emergency, Call 911

Even though we've never dabbled in the world of hallucinogens – specifically LSD – it doesn't take an avid acid user to know Sinicle's latest music video for "Damnation" (which The Noise is premiering today) is a surreal acid trip gone wrong.
Created by animator Ingvy08, the band's new cartoon clip is essentially a modern-day version of Beavis and Butt-Head's desert trip from Beavis And Butt-Head Do America – you know, with all the trippy boob looking demon creatures and all.
When asked about the hellish new track taken from their forthcoming LP, Sinicle vocalist/guitarist Drew Zaragoza said, "This is the first song after the intro to our new album Angels & Demons and it definitely encompasses the demon aspect of the theme. I explained this to the artist Ingvy08 and he has done an amazing job representing this song's visual aspect."
To check out Sinicle's brand new music video and take a wild trip to hell and back, be sure to see below. Afterwards, make sure to pre-order Angels & Demons before it hits stores September 22nd.

With the cryptocurrency market booming over the past few months, cryptocurrency trading is rapidly growing in popularity. There has been a flood of new money entering the market, from large companies who have started Bitcoin mining to young couples who decide to start setting aside some extra money for an alternative retirement investing strategy.
Because most cryptocurrencies are "decentralized," this means that no government agency or other organizations can offer strong regulation on the markets. This is largely considered to be a plus – one of the key benefits of decentralization is that no group can singlehandedly corrupt a cryptocurrency.
On the other hand, this lack of regulation – and the fact that we are still in the early days of digital currency – means that it often feels like we've found ourselves in the middle of the Wild Wild West.
Cryptocurrency Trading is Open to (Almost) Everyone
One of the current appeals to cryptocurrency trading is that that it's widely accessible to everyone.
- You don't have to live within any geographic jurisdiction to participate. With the except of a few countries, it's legal to own and trade cryptocurrencies from anywhere.
- It doesn't take a lot of money to get started. Many mutual funds require a minimum investment to get started. This investment can often be a few thousand dollars, making it inaccessible to many. You can start with just a few dollars. Transaction fees for buying or selling a cryptocurrency is typically just a fraction of a percent.
- Own your investment without relying on others. You can invest in cryptocurrency without depending on another company to handle your money. While you can store your cryptocurrency in an online account, you can also store it on a physical cryptocurrency wallet or even in "cold storage." No need to set up an appointment with your investment advisor – your investment is owned and controlled by you!
Of course, your freedom to invest in cryptocurrency trading is also your greatest liability. Because the cryptocurrency market is new and minimally regulated, you also have to be wary of cryptocurrency scams. Fraudulent behavior is rampant as criminals seek to take advantage of inexperienced investors.
A scam artist is just one person who may cost you thousands of dollars or more. Who else could harm your success in cryptocurrency trading?
It might just be you.
It's Time to Educate Yourself
There is no mandatory certification or course that you are required to take before our start investing in Bitcoin or the other digital currencies.
There are a couple things that could happen if you invest in cryptocurrency trading without at least a basic understanding of what you're doing.
- Best-case scenario: You profit from investing, but this is primarily due to market factors outside your control and is difficult to sustain over a long period of time.
- Worst-case scenario: You watch thousands of dollars, or more, wash right down the drain.
Neither of the scenarios – even the profitable one – are circumstances you want to find yourself in. To be a successful cryptocurrency trader, you should make sure you understand:
- Basic investment principles
- Specific technologies or organizations you are investing in
- How your involvement with cryptocurrency trading can help you reach your financial goals
Cryptocurrency Trading 101: Diversify Your Portfolio
Diversification is one of the most basic financial investment principles. What is diversification? Here is a somewhat technical definition:
Diversification is a risk management technique that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio. The rationale behind this technique contends that a portfolio constructed of different kinds of investments will, on average, yield higher returns and pose a lower risk than any individual investment found within the portfolio.
Diversification is the principle behind the phrase, "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket." It helps to spread out the potential risks that come with investment. With a volatile market like cryptocurrency, diversification helps to keep an investment portfolio from seeing such drastic highs and lows.
A Simple Example of Diversification
Let's take a look at a few different portfolios. We'll create a few generic coins for this example: Coins A, B, and C. Let's say that you have $100 to invest.
Go ahead and divide your money into investments before reading below.
The Undiversified Portfolio
When we check back on our portfolio a few weeks later, Coin A is up 30%, Coin B is up 10%, and Coin C has dropped by 40%. Let's say you decided to put all of your $100 in one coin.
Here are the possible outcomes:
|If you invested all $100 in …
|You now have …
|Coin A
|Coin B
|Coin C
If you decided to invest all of your money in Coin A, you are probably feeling very positive about your investment.
If you chose to invest all of your money in Coin B, you might be mildly pleased but feel like you missed out.
If you invested all of your money in Coin C, you would have been better off leaving your money under your mattress.
The Diversified Portfolio
Let's say that, instead of putting all of your money into one cryptocurrency, you decided to split your $100 across all three coins.
Coin A is an up-and-coming cryptocurrency yet unproven currency. You decide to invest $20 in this coin.
Coin B has been around for a while. Its price has remained fairly stable over time. You decide to invest $60 in this coin.
Coin C is another popular coin. It has seen huge swings up and down in price, but you want to give yourself a chance of 10x-ing on your investment. You decide to invest $20 in this coin.
Where does this leave you?
|If you invested …
|You now have …
|$25 in Coin A
|$60 in Coin B
|$15 in Coin C
|Total value
In this particular case, diversifying your investment turned out to be:
- Worse than investing in Coin A alone
- About the same as investing in Coin B alone
- Better than investing in Coin C alone
As you can see, diversification makes your "extremes" less extreme. Yes, diversification applies to both sides – winning and losing.
While you may not profit on a "winner" as much by spreading your money across coins, you never have to worry about waking up and seeing that your portfolio suddenly dropped to $0 overnight. One of your coins could completely fail, and you'd still have other investments to prop your overall balance up.
Diversify for Long-Term Performance
You might be able to profit from cryptocurrency arbitrage by only buying and selling single coins. However, if serious about profiting in long-term cryptocurrency trading, diversification is the safest strategy. This will work to minimize your risk of loss, both in the short and long run.
Ready to diversify for your cryptocurrency strategy? Consider these two approaches:
- Basic diversification: Buy cryptocurrencies you don't currently. Invest in a mix of low-risk (most of your money), medium-risk (some of your money), and high-risk coins (a little of your money).
- Complex diversification: Consider how the performance of one digital currency might affect another. Invest in coins that are likely to see improved performance if your current investment drops.
Diversification is just one of the many principles you should understand when you want to know how to invest in cryptocurrency. Just like you should diversify your cryptocurrency, you should also "diversify" for your understanding of investment by continuing to learn more each day!
Are you diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio? How many different digital currencies do you own?

"The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library."-Albert Einstein
With fall in full swing, it is now the time to enter a world full of cozy sweaters, cups of hot chocolate/coffee, and books. The opening of Laila's Library is a new segment on my blog to share my favorite novels. What better way to welcome the crisp weather than to get lost in the magical world of books. Like Rory Gilmore says, "I live in two worlds. One is a world full of books."
Although we bid farewell to October, I'm still stuck in spooky novels such as "The Witches" by Stacy Schiff. This enthralling story is about the hysteria & panic that took place in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts. It is wickedly brilliant and is one of my go-to fall books.
Thank you for stopping by, my fellow bookworm. If you're not a bookworm just yet, leaving Laila's Library will make you one.

Auto Insurance Tallahassee
The biggest reason you want to have valid, current auto insurance while you are living in Tallahassee, Florida is that it allows you to keep your driving privileges! If you cannot provide proof of current, valid Florida auto insurance for your Florida-registered vehicle, DMV can suspend your privilege, your vehicle license plate and registration. Another great reason to have auto insurance is so that you're covered in the event of a fender bender or a more involved accident that congested traffic and dense populations can bring, especially during football season and the other festivities throughout Leon County.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, any vehicle with at least four wheels that you have registered in Florida must be insured with "Florida coverage." That basically means it is coverage obtained in Florida from an insurance company licensed by the FDFS (Florida Department of Financial Services).
Texting while driving is getting worse, and driving under the influence can unfortunately be more common in a college town. These issues don't mix well with the interstates going through and around Tallahassee. Do what you can to protect yourself, your vehicle, and your passengers.
Fidelity Insurance Group will take care of all your auto insurance needs and guide you through the process of getting appropriate comprehensive coverage with a policy that fits. Above all, you can trust that our agency is known for personalized, caring service.

Domrémy, France
Dear Joan,
Thank you for saving Orleans. With this great action, you broke the siege the English had on France which later caused England realize how strong the French army was and end the 100-year war. Sadly, a peace treaty was not signed but the war did culminate in a peaceful manner. This, of course, was a tremendous feat for a young woman in France at the time, but did France repay you for this? No they did not. They sold you to England in the blink of an eye and did nothing to stop the way you were killed, but lets not dwell on the past.
Not only did you stop one of the leading armies at the time in its tracks, you also paved the way for an idea way ahead of your time–women's rights. In the United States, it wasn't until 1812 that the first women were recruited to be nurses in the Army, and 86 years later, during the Spanish-American War, that they were allowed to fight. You leaped over this obstacle without a second thought and became one of the greatest Army generals of all time. You pulled a failing regime that dared call itself the Army of France into order and together you broke the siege in nine days.
This was not the only type of prejudice you were forced to over come, people also thought you were out of your mind when you spoke of your visions, never the less you gained there trust and they listened to your plans and respected them. They laid their hope in you so deeply that your very presence inspired them to fight harder. Where every "rational" option hopelessly failed an illiterate 13-year-old girl claimed victory and lead an army to victory as well.
You have shown the world that nothing no matter the size or difficulty can stop us; we will always prevail if we try.
Thanks again,
Daniela Peña

Circumstances Where New Jersey Alimony Payments End
Alimony is sometimes one of the most contentious issues surrounding divorce. Determining the settlement amount, who is going to be paying alimony, and so on. After undergoing all of that you may be wondering, are there any circumstances where New Jersey alimony payments end? Or are they more fixed? An experienced alimony attorney may be able to answer that question and other questions you have about spousal support. Consult a knowledgeable lawyer that can help you.Death of the Payor
One of the circumstances where New Jersey alimony payments end is if the recipient spouse dies or if the payor spouse dies and has no arrears. If that payor spouse has arrears, their estate will be ordered to pay those arrears.
If the spouse receiving the money remarries or cohabitates, their alimony payments will terminate. The Cohabitation Law just changed and has defined it more broadly. Prior to 2014, cohabitation was living with another person who is providing to that household, and there had to be incredible proof that they lived there full time and essentially a member of the household.Cohabitation With Another Person
Now, another one of the circumstances where New Jersey alimony payments can be suspended or terminated if that recipient spouse cohabitates with another person. Cohabitation is defined as a mutually-supportive, intimate, personal relationship in which the couple has undertaken duties and privileges which are commonly associated with that marriage or civil union, but it does not necessarily mean that they have to maintain a single common household.
One of the factors that the court does consider is if the parties have intertwined their finances, i.e., joint bank accounts, they own real estate together, they acquired debt together, those are considerations for cohabitation.Determining Cohabitation
If they share joint responsibility for living expenses, that is an indication of cohabitation. If they have a recognized relationship within social and family circles, e.g., posting pictures of their relationship on Facebook and attending family events, those are all indications of cohabitation. A situation where what an individual posts on Facebook and social media can come back to bite them if they are receiving alimony.What Constitutes Cohabitation?
What people commonly think about cohabitation is that they live together, the frequency of contact, the duration of the relationship or other indicia of a mutually-supportive, intimate, personal relationship. That party does not have to live with their new partner full time, but if there is regular contact, i.e., if they are sleeping over each other's houses multiple times; if they are in a long-term relationship; and basically any proof that they are mutually supportive indicates cohabitation.
If they share household chores, that is cohabitation. If the recipient spouse has received some sort of support or some sort of promise of support from another person, like alimony, that is another indication of cohabitation; and any other relevant evidence.Changing Definitions of Cohabitation
A court may not find an absence of cohabitation solely on the fact that the couple did not live together full time. That was the previous law; if they do not live together full time (100% of the time), then it is not cohabitation. Now, it is much broader and it varies with any cohabitation; any indicia of a mutually-supportive, intimate, personal relationship and multiple factors that are covered. This may show cohabitation and the need for alimony is not there.Permanent Alimony
The circumstances where New Jersey alimony payments end are now more common, with the end of permanent and durational alimony. Now that the law has changed, there is no durational alimony or permanent alimony anymore. It is now called open durational alimony.
There is always that expectation that the alimony obligation is going to terminate at the time that that payor spouse does retire, but longer term marriages indicate that alimony should be paid for a longer period of time, just because the statute defines that any marriage less than 20 years cannot exceed 20 years. But in terms of over 20 years, it is that open durational alimony.If an individual wants to know more about open durational alimony and spousal support in New Jersey, they should consult a lawyer that could work towards a positive outcome for them.

Renovating your home or office space may be a daunting task for you for the involvement of many parallel and cumbersome activities involved in it. One of the most painful of those activities is painting that requires great attention since this is the last thing that brings on the aesthetics. If your house is small or you have some spare time with you then you can go for DIY. If you can't do it yourself then you must take help of the local painting contractors in nj. Finding a good contractor may not be easy but you should keep the following things in mind before selecting the right one.
Good reputation: your contractor must have a good name in the locality for the service it provides. Also the paint companies the contractor is associated with must have to say some good things for reference.
Good team: A team of good painters is what makes a good painting contractor. You must ask the contractor to supply some exceptionally good quality painters with adequate experience to take up the job. Quality conscious painters are a mandatory thing because the proper application of paints depends upon those hands only. Also, the experienced painters know the effective ways to use particular products while the rookies can't do it.
Material scope: if the contractor is supplying the material along with the manpower and tools then you must ask him to bring only good quality products by popular brands. For a big painting job, you can also ask him to show you the invoices and the quality certificates for the paints purchased as well.
Ancillary activities: You must make sure that the contractor has agreed to take care of all the furniture and other stuff inside the house by properly covering them from spillage and splatter during the painting job.
Timely delivery: Make an agreement with him asking him to deliver job as per the stipulated time period else the cost for inconvenience may be recovered from his payment. In case of any delay in delivery, you will be required to stay in rented accommodations which will cost you some good amount of money.
Safety: The safety of workmen at the job and other valuables lie in the list of contractor's responsibility, and this should be made clear before assigning him to the job.
If possible find some time to visits some projects the contractor has done earlier to see the quality of the service. Also, you need to have a proper payment term finalized before you award him the work.
