Long-term unemployment may not be the stubborn problem we thought it was.
Some economists say there are signs it could ease in the next few years as the economy improves, raising hopes for the millions of Americans who have spent months or even years looking for work.
"There have been some improvements in the job prospects for the long-term unemployed, and while it remains a very severe social and economic problem in this country, it's not an intractable problem," said Rob Valletta, research advisor with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. "There are glimmers of hope."
About 4.7 million American jobseekers, or 38.1 percent of all unemployed people, had been out of work for six months or more in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's more than four times the number of people who had been out of work that long five years ago, just as the Great Recessionwas getting under way.
The recession officially ended in June of 2009, but job growth has remained painfully slow during the weak economic recovery. That's meant that people who lose a job are often in for an arduous task when it comes to landing a new position.
The median duration of unemployment is currently 16 weeks, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's down from a high of more than 24 weeks in mid-2010, but still around double what it was in 2007.
The large number of people who are out of work for months or even years has caused some people to wonder whether long-term unemployed workers will ever find new jobs.

At Heritage Farm, we raise healthy and happy pastured pigs. They receive lots of fresh air, bright sunlight, sparkling fresh water, and ample area to run and root. Our animals are not given antibiotics unless doing so would save it's life. To this date, we have never once had an animal so sick that it required medications. We feed them a commercial ration that is mixed up from a local feed mill. We supplement the feed with kelp meal and diatomaceous earth ourselves.
We buy piglets from local farms soon after they have been weaned. They are then brought to our farm and made right at home.. We have found and support a number of other local farmers who have magnificent breeding facilities. We go out of our way to find breeders that align with our standards of quality, health, and humanness for their animals. They must have wood lots or pastures to get out onto, fresh water, be friendly and display a healthy relationship with people. Happy pigs make better bacon.
We love heritage breed pigs like the Large Blacks, Tamworths, Durocs, and Berkshires. However, we have also raised amazingly tasty "white pigs". Mostly the Landrace or Yorkshire breeds. In fact though, most breeders have a selection of a few different breeds in order to capitalize on the health and growth benefits of hybrid vigor via selective breeding. Most often our pigs are a motley crew of blacks, reds, whites, spots, and other funky designs. The breed is only a part of the equation. The environment they are grown in has a massive effect on the end product, and our animals come out simply amazing. Melt in your mouth amazing.
We rotate our animals through several outdoor pens during the seasons. They have unlimited opportunities to bury their snouts and faces neck deep in rich earth as they search for bugs, grubs, nuts, seeds, and critters. We rotate them whenever possible to place them under natural forest food crops such as acorns, beaked hazelnut, berries of all kinds, and apples. We often plant pumpkins and squash for treats as well, and constantly get folks donating old vegetables.(One of the reasons we are not certified Organic is because of this reason. Being certified would limit our ability to recycle and utilize perfectly healthy and nutritious food sources) The pigs are also supplemented with brewer's grains from two local wineries, as well as milk and dairy products from the grass-fed dairy up the road from us.
Our animals are butchered by a local butcher shop. They have an amazing facility and always handle our hogs superbly. They handle all of the processing for us. Including cutting, wrapping, slicing the bacons, smoking the hams and bacons, making sausages and ground pork, vacuum sealing all packages, freezing, and clearly labeling all pieces. It's so great to work so closely with such great partners in our farming community, and bring that to you as well.

hello all! it was great being with so many of you this morning. thank you for your presence in this community, it's an invaluable part of my life!
on to business!:
i've added the Walden Farms home page to the "check this out" section of my blog (to your right)... you'll see they have a lot of other products available as well. we have branched out beyond the dressings a time or two (or shall I say Rob has... he has a much more adventurous spirit for the fat-free, calorie-free world than I do!!), but we've found their dressings are the best. we haven't tried them all though! so explore at will and let us know if you come up with any other goodies we should know about!
one thing I noticed about the website is just how many different dressings they have! typically we find the ranch, caesar, honey dijon, thousand island, blue cheese, raspberry vinaigrette, and italian in local stores. also- I believe they are cheaper in stores than online. (often Meier will have one or more flavors on sale!)
my favorites are ranch (I love to mix this with balsamic vinegar and cracked pepper), honey dijon (yummy!), blue cheese (toss in some lite feta from Trader Joe's and you'll feel like you're eating the real thing!), thousand island (great on the lo-cal reuben {recipe coming soon}), and raspberry vinaigrette. so... basically I like 'em all... though Rob's the only caesar fan in the house...
I hope you'll find this helpful in varying flavors for salads and other dishes... check it out!!

34 Years of Iran
The anniversary of the Iranian revolution slipped by on February 10. The day marked 34 years since the shah of Iran was overthrown. His government was replaced with an Islamic republic under Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the uprising. For anyone non-Islamic, February 10 passed without a mention of revolution. The scene on the streets of Iran was entirely different.
Mass rallies occurred across the nation where angry protesters took up the call, "Death to America!" The rallies showed a rare solidarity among the Iranian people that doesn't reflect the current administration. Political turmoil and friction between Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are ongoing. The political unrest was not enough to stop President Ahmadinejad from giving his customary defiant speech, where he reiterated that Iran is now a "nuclear state." His speech was met by more frenzied cheering from the masses.
Iran's statements and actions should give cause for concern. What are the implications for Iran's future, and how did the West allow it to get to this point? If we look to Iran's history, we will gain a better understanding of where its steps will take it tomorrow.
During the rally this year, one of the prominent guests was the leader of Yemen's Hizb al-Haq party, Hassan Zaid. He spent his time praising what he called the "peaceful revolution" of 1979. Let's take a look at just how peaceful that revolution was.
In September of 1978, martial law was declared by the shah of Iran as riots broke out over his policies that were set to Westernize the nation. Strikes and mass demonstrations started to cripple the nation. In France, Ayatollah Khomeini was stirring the uprising as best he could. He was the unofficial leader of the revolution despite living in exile across the Mediterranean.
In January 1979, the political situation was deteriorating rapidly. The shah and his family were forced into exile. A few days later, the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini triumphantly returned to the thunderous applause of the masses.
In November of that year, Islamic militants overthrew the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Fifty-two Americans were taken hostage. Simultaneously, Adolph Dubs, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, was kidnapped then shot to death by the same militant groups that helped overthrow the shah. The murder of an American Ambassador and the invasion of sovereign U.S. territory is far from the "peaceful revolution" Iran supposedly experienced. A more accurate description might be a bloody and violent coup that led to the suppression of free speech, the breakdown of a pro-Western government and the manifestation of radical Islamic dictatorships.
The violent founding of the Islamic Republic in April 1979 set the stage for the next 34 years of isolation and radicalization.
Just one year later, violence engulfed the region as the Iran-Iraq War got under way. The war dragged on for eight bloody years and cost the lives of over 1 million people.
In 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini died. His successor, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, was appointed the next day. He remains supreme ruler of Iran today. Five months after his election, the United States released $567 million worth of frozen Iranian assets.
It was only a few years later, in 1995, that the U.S. started placing sanctions on Iran due to its continued sponsorship of terrorism, its quest for nuclear arms and its continued attempts to destroy the Middle East peace process. Sanctions have continued to this day, but with little effect. Iran is still the number one state sponsor of terror in the world. Iran is closer than ever to obtaining the nuclear bomb. Iran still strives to incite terror and hatred against Israel at every conceivable opportunity.
Thirty-four years after the revolution, Iran is going strong. The populace still rallies en mass to cheer for the destruction of the West. The authorities work behind the scenes to gain a weapon that will take their terrorist tendencies to a whole new level.
Iran has a violent 34 years behind it. And there is nothing preventing it from continuing on this path. U.S. sanctions won't stop it. It does not fear military intervention. Iran will continue to push. It will push on until someone stops it. Bible prophecy says that day is coming quickly. Iran is about to pick a fight it will come to regret. Soon it will push at Europe, and Europe will push back, hard. The Trumpet has long forecast this event, and will continue to warn of the impending conflict. With Bible prophecy, we can see far into the future of world events. Interested? Order your free copy of The King of the South today, and see what is in store for the Middle East tomorrow.

22 January 1927 - Football Takes To The Airwaves
The BBC had received a license to broadcast live sport only three weeks earlier. For their first event, they covered a Five Nations rugby match between England and Wales on 15 January with former rugby player Captain Henry Blythe Thornhill "Teddy" Wakelam providing the commentary. For ease of reference, the BBC devised a system of dividing the playing field into numbered sectors, which were printed and distributed before the game. While Wakelam described the action for the listeners, his partner C.A. Lewis announced the sectors in which the events were taking place.
Wakelam, Lewis, and the numbering system returned for the Arsenal-Sheffield United match, a league contest played at Highbury. Taking up a position in the east grandstand, Wakelem watched as Charlie Buchan put the hosts in front, then Billy Gillespie equalized to take a 1-1 draw.
Live radio broadcasts became a huge success, as did Wakelam, who went on to commentate on a wide variety of sports and eventually moved into television starting in 1938.

IT'S EIGHT minutes past the tapping hour on a recent Friday night, and the crowd gathered at the Daily Pint in Santa Monica is restless.
"Have we been teased? I don't even see a firkin," says a fiftysomething guy sporting a beer festival T-shirt, a member of the Culver City-based home brew club Pacific Gravity.
Members had been tipped off by rival Woodland Hills brew club the Maltose Falcons about the chance to buy a pint from tonight's firkin, the traditional container (historically wood but now most often metal) for unpasteurized cask-conditioned beer. And they're tired of waiting for a taste of one of these rarely available aromatic brews known for distinctly fresh yeasty flavors.
In Britain, "real ales," as cask-conditioned unpasteurized beers are called there, are a point of local pride and were even the focus of a preservation movement initiated in the 1970s by the Campaign for Real Ale, a British advocacy group with more than 80,000 members today. There, aficionados in search of cask beer's telltale thick head of foam and delicate fizz can find a selection at pubs that make a point of keeping the tradition alive.

text: Piece by Leuning, Treeby called 'Tuckered-out Guardian Angel' A creation by Aberdeen sculptors Sherri Treeby and Lee Leuning won the sculpture division of the 2007 National Mothers of America Art Competition, and took second place in the Peoples Choice Award for the 2007 SculptureWalk Sioux Falls. The piece, "Tuckered-out Guardian Angel," is a depiction of a sleeping little boy and his guardian angel, tired from keeping up with his busy day. This sculpture can be viewed in the round in ft of Zanbroz Variety in downtown Sioux Falls. A resin cast is on display at the Ward Plaza Hotel Art Gallery in Aberdeen. The other two bronze editions of "Tuckered-out Guardian Angel" are positioned at the entrances of the Children's Home Society in Sioux Falls and Rapid City. They were purchased by a donor. According to a news release, "SculptureWalk has become one of the best sculpture venues in the U.S. through the ever-growing participation and diversity of the artists entering and of the community and volunteers involved." "The Sioux Falls SculptureWalk has turned into a really significant show, which is good for South Dakota," Treeby said. The Web site is www.sculpturewalksiouxfalls.com.

Healing Success for Great Pyrenees Autoimmune Skin Disease
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Gives Results When Steroids and Antibiotics Cannot
What is wrong with Max?
Skin is healing. No more bleeding and crusts. Scars are inevitable!
Max had years of scabbing and bleeding at all the mucocutaneous (pronounced mew-ko-cue-tane-ee-us) junctions of his body. These are areas where haired skin meets the sensitive smooth lining skin at the nose, eyes, lips, anus, prepuce, and paw pads. They all hurt and cracked and bled. He spent much of his days asleep or rubbing his face along the walls to sooth himself. His people had taken him to nine (9) veterinarians in the few short years before he met Doc Truli, including board-certified dermatologists for dogs. Skin tests and cultures ruled out infections and common problems and skin surgical biopsies came back with inconclusive results. (This can happen, especially with long-term skin disease.) Specialists suspected Max suffered from autoimmune skin disease, such as pemphigus foliaceus (pronounced pem-fi-gus foal-ee-aa-shus) but could not prove it conclusively on any tests.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Pattern Diagnosis (TCVM)
New Balance of Comfort- no scabs or bleeding!
Excess Heat
We approached Max's conditional from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). First, he clearly had too much "heat" in his body. Blood, red, hot, dry, panting, wanting to sleep in the air-conditioned house. According to TCVM, we needed to cool his energy.
Deficient Cooling
He was also deficient in his own internal ability to cool his body. As you can guess, normally, a body will balance the heat and cool. You can add or take off some clothing layers. Turn on the heat, or a fan. Drink iced-tea and eat watermelon, or drink hot chocolate and eat roasted lamb. We energetically balance our bodies all the time. In Max's case, none of it helped. He just could not cool down and stop spontaneously bleeding. Why? He was deficient in his own internal cooling and moisturizing ability- called the yin energy in TCVM. Max needed his yin energy to balance the hot yang burning-up feeling he had. He just did not have enough internal cooling to manage to pull it off!
The yin What?
In TCVM, everything can be described in balanced terms of yin and yang. Yang is energetic, hot, fast, upward, strong, loud, summertime, teenage years, mid-day. Yin is quiet, dark, cool, solid (substantial), inward, night-time, old age, Winter.
How did we help Max decrease the heat and increase his internal cooling?
First, we simply stopped giving him foods that increase heat in the body. Lamb, venison, shrimp, and chicken.
We added foods, Chinese herbal medicine, and acupuncture treatments to clear heat, boost cooling and moisturizing, treat pain, support the organ functions for detoxification and supporting normal balance and healing processes in the body. He became mostly vegetarian (like his humans), with specific foods and herbal formulas chosen to counter his particular imbalance.
Dear Reader: Each patient has a different Pattern expression of the underlying imbalance. We say "Many diseases, one Pattern. Many Patterns, one disease." Your pet may have Pemphigous, but there are several underlying Patterns possible. Or your pet could have Yin and Qi Deficiency Pattern and have Pemphigous or Separation Anxiety or Arthritis, or… For further details about treatment, foods, and herbs to use, please consult with a veterinarian trained in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. The Chi Institute Resources provides a referral web service where you can examine a map of your area of the world to find trained veterinarians in your area.
Australian Cattle Dog Forbids Ear Touching, Needs Ear Healed
"Cutie" needed his head examined. Literally. The 6-year-old male neutered Australian Cattle Dog had an ear infection that would not quit. What can be done for an "end-stage" ear?
House call holistic veterinarian Doc Truli received a call on a Friday night. The distraught dog parent on the phone was reticent to discuss the case. "I don't even know why I'm calling you. It takes 3 nurses just to hold him down so the vet can give him a sedative every time he has to go in for anything. I don't want you to waste your time coming out to my house," said "Cutie's" mom in confused desperation.
We scheduled the appointment without knowing if I (yours Truli) could even touch the dog! Read more…
What is a "VMD?"
University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine
A veterinarian graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine ("Penn Vet") receives a Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris degree, or VMD. It is Latin for a veterinary medical doctor.
The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine has been discovering, defining and inventing the very definition of what it means to be a veterinarian in the United States since 1884. The foundation and perspective provided by an education from a top veterinary college benefits your pet in incalculable ways.
Why Is a "VMD" Potentially Better?
Many "firsts" in the world happened at Penn. The specialties of veterinary ophthalmology, oncology and equine orthopedic surgery were invented at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Penn Vet's Ryan Hospital is one of the United States' busiest veterinary teaching hospitals, with close to 33,000 small animal patient visits each year, 13,000 of which are emergency cases.
Vaccine Associated Fibrosarcoma
Imagine the rare and unusual diseases and conditions the students at Penn Vet see every day. Instead of 5 students discussing 2 or 3 critical care cases, we discussed 20 a week or more. Our teachers were the best in the world. Dr. Mattie Hendrick taught Doc Truli pathology. Why is this special? Did you hear about how sometimes certain vaccines can cause a cat to grow a cancer tumor at the vaccine injection site? Guess who discovered it? Yes, Doc Truli's teacher, Dr. Hendrick. So when a client says to Doc Truli, "THEY discovered vaccine tumors," Doc says, "my professor Dr. Hendrick is the "they" you heard about." Day after day, for many hours, we worked side by side in the laboratory.
Feline Blood Types
Did you know that cats have blood types? You know, humans have A, B, O, AB and rhesus negative or positive? Well, cats have their own system and the wrong blood type in a transfusion could kill your cat in minutes. Why do we know this? Because of Dr. Urs Giger. Dr. Giger taught Doc Truli hematology at Penn Vet. Dr. Giger also happens to adore cats. He loves cats so much, he obtained funding to run his hematology lab specifically to research cats. Thank goodness Dr. Giger is fanatical about cats or the world may never have found out about cat blood types: A, B, and AB.
Barbaro's Surgeon Taught Doc Truli
The clinicians and researchers at Penn Vet share teaching responsibilities. For example, Barbaro's surgeon, Dr. Dean Richardson, taught Doc Truli horse surgery.
"I was so nervous to assist Dr. Richardson. He is known as a great teacher, but he is famous! I remember, we were removing a fibroid growth from a white pet horse's front leg. The skin needed to stretch to close the incision. Dr. Richardson asked me for one centimeter stents. (A stent is a little tube we run the suture through, like cushioning, so the suture does not directly cut into the skin on a tight wound closure.) So I took the scalpel blade handle, which had a centimeter ruler on it, and I measured one centimeter stents."
"What are you doing?" said Dr. Richardson, the world-famous surgeon.
"Making one centimeter stents," said Doc Truli, still a student and first time in horse operating room.
"I didn't mean exactly one centimeter," said Dr. Richardson.
"Well, with me assisting you, you get what you asked for!" said Doc Truli.
"Students," said Dr. Richardson.
Fanconi-Like Toxicity from Chicken Jerky Treats
Doc Truli says, "My experience being taught by scientists who also treat referral patients from around the world is invaluable in my everyday practice. When I saw a 35 pound (17 kg) spitz dog with a rare kidney disorder resembling Fanconi syndrome, I called an internal medicine specialist immediately. I explained the history and the symptoms. I mentioned my patient ate "chicken jerky treats."
The specialist said, "we've had 4 other cases in the past 5 days and we did not ask what they had eaten. I'm going to check that." They all had chicken jerky treats from China. Cooper City Veterinary Specialists in South Florida published the discovery of another kind of kidney failure chicken jerky treats from China were causing in our pets. Would I have known to collaborate with the specialist and collate the information effectively without my Penn Vet background? I'll never know. It's just what I do every day for every patient.
Do you want your pet to be treated by a person who read about the problem in a book, or by someone who was personally taught by the discoverer of the problem? Do you want a vet that follows what the specialists say and what the textbook protocol is only, or do you want a vet with the knowledge and experience to know if your pet has something rare, or something new? If I can have the best, I want the best.
The Only Veterinary School Developed in Association with a Medical School: So What?
Veterinary medicine in America used to be a trade. Trimming horse hooves, drenching cows, skills that farm managers typically delegate to farm hands today. Penn Vet never thought that way. Founded in 1884, Penn Vet is the only veterinary school developed in association with a medical school. The medical college at UPenn sits a few blocks down Spruce Street from the veterinary school. They co-evolved over the years until today, they are members of the One Health Initiative linking human, animal, and environmental health. "But that was 1884," you say. Well, yes. Doc Truli explains how the unique relationship of Penn Vet at UPenn Med directly allowed her to help research dog brain cancer cures.
Safety and Transduction of a Herpes Virus in Dog Brain
"As a Penn Vet student, I was selected for a prestigious Merck Research Fellowship studying a herpes virus as a backbone – or vector – to deliver a unique brain cancer treatment into dog brain cancer," says Doc Truli. The research took place at Penn Vet, Wistar Institute and the University of Pennsylvania Medical College. "The Wistar Institute had the DNA laboratory. The medical school had an awesome machine shop where we could make a metal-free stereotactic unit to hold and measure exactly where we were in the dogs' brains (like a frame to hold the head) and the magnetic resonance imaging (MR) facility. Penn Vet had the dogs and the surgery suite and the – well, frankly – the funding from a research grant to make it all possible," says Doc Truli.
"I could have a breakfast meeting at PennVet with the leading dog genetics and neurosurgery experts, then lunch at Wistar where they taught me how to use fluorescent labeling to mark the DNA and then walk to the medical college for a meeting about the technical difficulties making holders for different sized dog heads (they are not similar like human heads.)"
"I can tell you- I was struck by all the marble and brass in the medical college! We do not have fancy building materials like that at the veterinary college," says Doc Truli.
The collaboration and geographic proximity of the medical and veterinary colleges and unique world-class institutes like the Wistar Institute and the Philadelphia Monell Chemical Senses Center make ideas and initiatives flow. "I collaborate with world-class specialists to benefit my patients to this day," says Doc Truli.
Teaching, Research and Clinical Care Under One Roof
The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine has been discovering, defining and inventing the very definition of what it means to be a veterinarian in the United States since 1884. The unique geographic convenience of top research institutions in West Philadelphia generate opportunities such as Doc Truli's brain cancer research. The generous case-load of primary and referral patients from Philadelphia and the surrounding states provides patients to study and heal. The New Bolton Center large animal hospital has treated the most famous horses in the world, including Barbaro and Annihilator. The mission of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine to bring Specialty practice to the profession started in the 1940's and continues today. This school generates unparalleled scientists and clinicians.
Doc Truli is a VMD
So what is a VMD? Doc Truli is a VMD. Your pet will enjoy top world-class care and treatment with Doc Truli.
How Acupuncture Saved at least US$2,000
Acupuncture Gets Murphy Home 2 Days Earlier than Specialists' Prediction
The Call for a "House Call" Comes In
"Is this Doc Truli?"
The phone signal was weak, but we could understand each other.
"Yes," I said.
"My 9 week-old poodle puppy is in the intensive care unit and they are doing everything they can for him. I was wondering if acupuncture would help him," asked the apricot teacup poodle's mom. "Can you meet us at the intensive care hospital in 15 minutes?"
"I'll meet you there," I said. I hung up, started up the purrs-like-a-kitten (it doesn't) 1999 faded burgundy Ford Explorer dog truck and headed for the overnight specialty hospital at 9:30 pm on a Saturday night. I am a holistic house call veterinarian. Read more…
One Veterinarian to Cure "The Holding Pattern"
What Is the Holding Pattern?
"The holding pattern is what I call it when a veterinarian just repeats what was done at the last visit, without giving you any options for discovering predisposing factors or perpetuating circumstances that cause your pet to have the same problem over and over again," says Doc Truli, "It wastes money and shows shoddy medical practice."
Imagine this: your pet has itchy skin. Maybe a few sores, maybe a bacterial or yeast infection. You went to your veterinarian and your pet received a steroid injection and antibiotics. Probably you also took home some medicated shampoo. If your veterinarian practices integrative medicine, you likely also took home some omega 3 fatty acids and prescription skin support food. Maybe your veterinarian ran the appropriate diagnostic tests for skin problems: a skin scrape cytology, skin tape cytology, fungal culture, trichogram and maybe an endocrine and thyroid function blood panel and serum allergy tests. The cost was tremendous and the results were pretty good. For a few months.
Now imagine you returned to the animal hospital for a recheck about 2-4 weeks after initiating treatment. You are given a refill of steroids and antibiotics and sent on your way maybe another US$100 lighter. What happened? You were put into the holding pattern. Read more…
One-year-old Maltese with Terrible Itchy Skin
Why does 1 of my dogs have bad skin and her litter mate is perfect?
"I'm beside myself. Chica stays up all night itching and I've tried everything." Rosada stood defiantly planted on the opposite side of the stainless steel exam table from Doc Truli. A 4-pound (1.8 kg) Maltese shook in her little fuzzy white paws on a pink towel on the slick silver table. "Her sister is twice her size and her skin is perfect.

Permanent Collection Catalogue Available
Korea, Joseon dynasty (1392-1910)
bronze with traces of gilding, Overall: 40.6 x 16.5 x 54.6 cm (15 15/16 x 6 7/16 x 21 7/16 in.). Worcester R. Warner Collection 1918.501
This rare bronze triad from the 1400s shows Amitabha (Amita in Korean), or the Buddha of the Western Paradise, seated on a lotus pedestal at the center. He is flanked by two sacred attendants, Ksitigarbha (Jijang in Korean) on his left and Avalokitesvara (Gwaneum in Korean) on his right. The combination of these three Buddhist deities was particularly popular in the early Joseon period. The small scale suggests that this triad might have been displayed in a personal shrine rather than a large worship hall.

I so wanna!
This weekend I tried to create flower arrangements in the style of Ikebana. The principles that guide this art form totally fascinate me!
For instance, you emphasize lines & curves, play color and texture against each other, and employ minimalism. Ikebana also uses the triangle shape in the arrangement - symbolically pointing to three essential elements in humanity: heaven, man and earth. Such a beautiful concept that is influenced by Buddhist tradition.
Purists practice this art form in total silence and meditation. I had no such success there - my kids were all over me and my Ikebana!!

Thatcher-era Cardiff, 1986. Five friends join a juggling club. A decision that would change the landscape of contemporary circus over the next three decades. 30 years on; having built a unique community and identity around them through circus, NoFit State is celebrating one of its busiest and most successful years to date.
The company made two remarkable international premieres in New York and Hong Kong with its large-scale show BIANCO, before capping the year – and the 5-year production life of the show - with a grand 62-show finale at London's Southbank Centre, ending on 22 January 2017.
In May, NoFit State revealed BLOCK, a new outdoor collaboration with dance company Motionhouse, which performed a huge 74-show tour across the UK and Europe, making its way to theatres, international festivals, castles, seaside towns, and housing estates throughout the Summer.
Staying closer to home, NoFit State's award-winning partnership with United Welsh delivered circus workshops to vulnerable groups in care homes and to youngsters in Wales most deprived wards. The company worked with local communities in Bangor alongside Pontio's BLAS project to create a spectacular one-off show, Mae Yna Le, directed by Firenza Guidi.
The company bid a fond farewell to two of its biggest forces. First, with the departure of cofounder Ali Williams who has taken on exciting new projects abroad; the other, with the announcement that BIANCO will be coming to an end, having reached 199,000 people, performed 464 times, and garnered critical acclaim from international press including The New York Times, The Guardian and The Times.
Finally in December, the company teamed up with creative producers Crying Out Loud to announce Spotlight UK Circus, a new International Showcasing initiative funded by Arts Council England. The project will showcase the best of contemporary circus create in the UK in three major European festivals in 2017 and 2018.
The company's 2016 highlights can be explored in this interactive blog: http://nofitstate.org/2016-what-a-year

— Jaguar Land Rover has announced three recalls involving about 104,000 vehicles, which is a large number of vehicles for Jaguar.
Range Rover and Range Rover Sport
Jaguar Land Rover is recalling almost 25,000 model year 2013-2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles over braking problems.
Land Rover says the brake vacuum hose might be routed incorrectly which could cause a hole to appear in the hose. It could be real trouble stopping the Range Rover if the worn hose leaks.
Land Rover says the recalled Range Rover vehicles were manufactured August 16, 2012, to January 8, 2014, and the Range Rover Sport vehicles were produced May 7, 2013, to January 8, 2014.
The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport recall should begin about March 13, 2015. Land Rover will notify owners and dealers will correctly route the brake vacuum hose and repair any worn hoses.
Owners of the 2013-2014 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport may contact the automaker at 800-637-6837 and refer to recall number P052.
Another 75,000 Range Rovers are called back to fix brake problems, although for similar but different reasons than the previous Range Rover recall.
Land Rover says the 2006-2012 Range Rover has front brake hoses that can rupture and cause the brake fluid to leak. Leaking fluid means more problems trying to stop the Range Rover.
The recalled Range Rovers were built April 15, 2005, to September 4, 2012.
The recall will get underway March 13, 2015. Land Rover dealers will replace the left and right brake hoses, although the automaker didn't say how much time that will take.
Owners of the 2006-2012 Land Rover Range Rover can contact the automaker at 800-637-6837 and tell customer service you need information about recall number P054.
Jaguar XK
Jaguar is recalling over 4,700 model year 2012-2015 Jaguar XK cars because the front parking lights can turn off after five minutes. Jaguar says if the side lights are switched on with the ignition off, the front lights should remain illuminated until the battery is dead.
The recalled $85,000 cars were built March 4, 2011, to March 20, 2014, and dealers will need to update the software that controls the front side parking lights.
The Jaguar XK recall should begin the same time as the other recalls, March 13, 2015.
XK owners with questions should call Jaguar at 800-452-4827 and reference recall number J049.

A writer/director is a term we are all very familiar with; there is however another group. Those who undertake not just writer and directing duties but also play the role of the actor, often in leading roles! I present to you Hollywood's Triple Threats, new and old alike.
1. Charlie Chaplin
Perhaps the most famous triple threat of all. Almost all of his films were written and directed by himself. He even went so far as to compose the film score!
Famous works
2. Orson Welles
Renowned cinematic auteur, Welle's made his debut showcasing all three of his talents.
Famous works
3. Eric von Stroheim
Lesser known than the rest but no less talented, most will know Eric von Stroheim as the Butler in Sunset Boulevard. He is however also a very talented writer and director, known for his painstaking attention to detail as well as the excess of his films production budgets.
Famous works
4. Woody Allen
Every working actor dreams of the day they will get the phone call saying "Woody Allen would like to meet you". After decades in the industry Allen has established himself as a talented and industrious triple threat.
Famous works
5. Spike Lee
Although lately more known for his directing talents, Spike started off showcasing all his skills often producing his own productions too.
Famous works
6.Ben Affleck
Affleck has had a remarkable career, breaking in to the industry by co-writing a screenplay with long time friend Matt Damon. The script would become the critical and box office smash Good Will Hunting.
Famous works
7.Jack Nicholson
Not many know of Jack's ability to multi-task. He has been writing, directing, and starring in films for years.
Famous works
8. Marlon Brando
We all know this name and can reel off countless classics from his filmography. But Brando did write, direct, and star in one film. He had intended to work on many more, but due to lack of creative control (his over 5 hours run time was drastically cut) he abandoned the idea in typical Brando-like fashion.
Famous works
Marlon Brando-One-Eyed Jacks [1961]
9. Kenneth Branagh
Incredibly talented actor who is just as at home in contemporary dramas as he is in the great classical plays.
Famous works
10. Billy Bob Thornton
This actors' debut is an unbelievable showcase of talent. Wrote, directed, Starring, and produced by, it forms one helluva introduction.
Famous work
11. Sylvester Stallone
You gotta give it to Stallone, the guy is industrious and determined. Unhappy with the lack of acting work he was getting he decided to write a film specifically to showcase himself as an actor. His first screenplay would become the now iconic Rocky, and although he only wrote and starred in this (it was directed by John G. Avildsen), the sequels would be Directed by Stallone.
Famous works
12. Kevin Smith
Always the joker, his comedic skills and directing ability are far from a joke.
Famous works
13. Noel Clarke
Clarke is on the rise; starting out again as an actor like so many on this list he began writing a feature script to showcase his talents. He is now known as much for his writing and directing as his acting.
Famous works
14. Helen Hunt
Renowned for her powerful acting performances, Hunt has also explored the Writer/director Avenue.
Famous works
15. Johnny Depp
Yep that's right, even the Depp man wanted to find out what all this writing and directing was all about.
Famous works
16. Tyler Perry
Perry has been acting and writing for years now, creating the now famous character Madea.
Famous works
17. Clint Eastwood
Of course we can't forget Mr Eastwood. This film vet has been starring and directing in films for decades.

Does anybody have any recommendations for tyres for M class? There are so many to choose from and quite disparate prices as well. Do you have any favourites which have good characteristics such as handling, braking and wear qualities?

Re: TYRE RECOMMENDATIONS
I replaced my Conti SportContact 2 (OEM) today. I've clocked up 48,000 km's and could have got another 2,000-5,000 km's out of them but saw Conti SportContact 5 SUV MO on sale for $370 each so had a set put on. As my mechanic stated, if you got 48,000 km's out of them why look at another tyre. He also pointed out being "MO" (Mercedes Only) they are made for the car, another reason to stay with the ContiSportContact. The Conti dealer commented today, the 5 is so much better than the 2. I have to say I was impressed with the 2 so don't think I'll be disappointed with the 5.

Very Comfy
Reviewed by Soccer Mom from Western Ma on Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Once you get the straps for the footrest and the armrests adjusted, this is a very comfy chair...I did alot of research before deciding on this one, and it did receive some negative reviews from people who complained it was difficult to get out of because the footrest straps are in the way. This ca... Read More
Awesome camp chair for the price...Verified Buyer Reviewed by Chad the fisherman from Gulf coast on Thursday, November 30, 2017This chair has to be the most comfortable camp chair I've ever used. The foot rest is fully adjustable and contrary to other reviews I found that I could adjust it easily to a horizontal setting without any difficulty. The only issue I've seen with the chairs (I now have three), is that with the foot rest attached they flip over easily when littlies (6 year old and under) dismount the chairs. This is hard to avoid given the weight of the chair and the general lack of physics that kids this little tend to have. Still recommend highly.
Lounging chairVerified Buyer Reviewed by Chicago Michelle from Chicago on Monday, October 16, 2017Love it!!! Got this as a present from a friend. Mom sat it in and I ordered another one right away. Was delivered within 4 days!!! Great for watching kids football soccer games. Chair is easy to fold up. Bag is not bulky and not heavy to carry. Woulda loved to get in another color but all that was available was green. They need to come out with a Velcro pillow.
Excellent Value!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Mnh from FL on Sunday, August 27, 2017We had almost completely used up our old camping chairs, we use them so much for just about everything. We had been looking for one with a foot rest, but were turned off by the prices and the complexity of set up. Then I saw these on line, and the price cannot be beat, so I figured, what the heck. Well, these are the best! Sturdy construction, yet still lightweight to carry, and set and breakdown just cannot be easier. We have already used them several times, backyard, beach, haven't even gone camping yet, but I know they will be perfect. Highly recommend. The army green was on sale. Get it while it lasts!
Everything I expectedVerified Buyer Reviewed by dschneider3 from Seattle on Tuesday, August 22, 2017This lawn chair with foot rest was everything I expected. I used it for the first time at an outdoor concert recently. I like the tote bag for easy carrying, it unfolds really easily, the foot rest is adjustable for short, medium or tall people, and the foot rest easily unclips and lays down flat on the ground if you want to sit without the foot rest.
The unit is not industrial strength but I didn't expect that. For the price it is a great chair.
Footrest bag chairVerified Buyer Reviewed by Brandt from Nebraska on Saturday, August 19, 2017My old footrest bag chair of a different brand wore out after many, many years of good service. A replacement was surprisingly difficult to find. Luckily, I happened upon the ALPS chair at a fair price. I have not had it long enough to see if it will give me the long useful life as its predecessor. The chair is comfortable, not exceedingly heavy for its size. The fabric seems to be durable, but, again, time will tell. One thing I would change if I could is the footrest so that it could be adjusted to a level less than horizontal. It can be unclipped and lowered to the ground, but nothing in between. An addition I would like to see is a pillow-type headrest. All-in-all, I am satisfied with this chair.
super comfortableVerified Buyer Reviewed by lorraine934 from Marion, MA on Thursday, August 17, 2017It's a bit awkward getting in, but once you set yourself up you are good for hours. Read a book, enjoy the scenery! I really like that you can remove the foot rest and it is then an ordinary chair.
Durable looking chair. Exceeded expectation.Verified Buyer Reviewed by oscar from Washington Stateb on Wednesday, August 2, 2017For 30 bucks I was skeptical of this chair. I thought it would be another cheap chair with a foot rest added. I was pleasantly surprised. The steel tube frame is thicker than the run of the mill 10 dollar wal mart chair. It has a nylon strap to hold up the armrest by the backrest which is really handy. Super comfy, its like a recliner.
The most comfortable and relaxing folding chair we've ever owned!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Jeannie from TX - Texas on Thursday, June 29, 2017I ordered two of ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chairs one for me and one for the husband. It's not only used for camping. We have been able to used them recently while watching our son's little league football. I have to say these are the most comfortable and relaxing folding chairs we've ever owned. It makes those long field practice days enjoyable. I sit, eat, drink, & catchup on reading or emails all in comfort. I like the built-in drink holder. The foot rest is designed to be adjustable. To me it's one of the best features on this chair. The chair arms are nice and wide not flimsy like the other chairs. My husband likes that this chair was designed with the tall guy in mind. It's backing come up high and rest right at my husband's neck for true comfort. On most other chairs the back side only comes half way up the back not giving you good back and neck support. The ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chair is so comfortable that you can even takes a nap in it. My husband likes the green color, matches all of our camp gear. I highly recommend the ALPS Mountaineering Escape Camp Chair you won't be disappointed.
Comfy in campVerified Buyer Reviewed by Laura in Texas from Texas on Tuesday, June 27, 2017Bought this chair to elevate my legs at the end of long summer camp days. Chair is comfy and foot rest slows your legs to be elevated without putting strain on knees or back of calves. Smart X design allows you to have feet placed on either side to sit up/down comfortably. Weight was not a problem since it stayed at camp all week and price did not break the bank. Would definitely recommend buying this chair.
Great valueVerified Buyer Reviewed by Deena from Montana on Wednesday, May 31, 2017Easy set up, very comfortable and appears well made. Could easily fall asleep in this chair.
Question & Answer
Questions about this product? Get answers from community and staff experts.
"Does the backrest on the chair recline at all or is stiff like a standard camping chair?"
The back is NOT adjustable. It is fixed in place as in a normal sling chair. The foot rest, however has "buckle & strap" adjustability, to a certain extent. Hope this answers your question.
The backrest is not adjustable.
Does not recline, but seems angled back a bit more than a standard chair.
"Does the footrest detach so chair can be used without it or is it a permanent piece."
The footrest detaches from the seat by two clips so that it will lay flat on the ground.
The footrest is not completely detachable, but you can detach the straps so that it lays on the ground.
"What is the warrenty on this product, I would like to purchase 2, one for my son and his wife for Christmas?"
This is what ALPS Mountaineering has on their web site about their warranty. "ALPS Mountaineering is proud of the products we market and we work hard to make them the best we possibly can. This allows us to warrant all of our products against defects in materials or workmanship. This does not cover normal wear and tear or abuse. Here's the example we like to use, making a comparison to the auto industry, since we are all familiar with cars. If you purchase a new vehicle and the motor stops running, it will be taken care of, but tires that wear out or hoods that are dented from hitting a tree are not covered. Maybe we're too midwestern, but "common sense" really does prevail." For more follow this link. http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/alps/warranty

Stress in the mind hurts us both a physical and physically across our body. To retain clarity of mind and the motivation to work towards our goals, it is important to eliminate stress.Set a relaxation time daily to relax and clear your mind. Having this time to refresh can make you peace and improve your self-image.
Use your time efficiently.This can be achieved by taking more breaks when working. This might sound counterproductive, but having constant breaks will help you recharge and unwind, so that you will get a lot more things done when you go back to working.
Each individual has a set of beliefs that he or she follows all the time. This will also promote consistency in your life and actions, which is a great trait to have.
Leadership is the cornerstone of someone's personal development. Most people believe that leadership to mean someone who has influence are synonymous. Take a good look at your leadership journey.What events have had the most in your life? How have these events change you as a person? What qualities do you have that make you shine in a team environment? By considering these questions, you can become more aware of how you best fit into a team.
Weight loss is only reason that people need to exercise.There are many different physical reasons for the need to exercise.
Begin a special savings for emergency purposes. This will be able to get you through a short and long term crisis like unemployment or a large unexpected health care bill.
Do you feel like you drink too often? Do you use tobacco products or engaging in other harmful things? Your body is what you live in every day and therefore consideration for its well being should be treated with the respect it deserves. Eliminating bad habits is essential if you wish to improve your life.Take an honest look at your traits and proclivities and figure out where you can make improvements.
Whatever it is that you need to have in your life, remember that nothing takes place without action. You must actively participate in your life instead of being a spectator. If you just observe your life as it passes you by, you are not really alive.
If you are not able to achieve anything you wanted to, then you need to stop and reassess your goals and what you are doing to reach them. Find out how others have similar expectations.You may find the proper information you are aiming for impossible goals and not using your resources sufficiently to accomplish your goals properly.Make the important in your life the focus of how you live.

When you can make sacrifices that lift others up without jeopardizing your own well being, you will gain the emotional versatility required to become a better person.
Taking a few small risks could be the key to your path towards happiness. It is not uncommon for an individual to avoid the feeling of rejection or failure while at at the same time, though never taking risks will leave you unfulfilled. Taking risks shows courage, which will help you become happy in the long run.You need a good attitude in order to grow as an individual. A negative attitude will hold you back and even have adverse effects.
Decide what you want and do it. You need to create and pursue your desires.Overreacting in any situation will cause you unnecessary stress.An important bit of personal development is to treat your body well. If your body's signals tell you that there is some problem, thirsty, etc., you need to correct that issue right away. Doing so will make your body to function efficiently down the future.
Use these tips and keep track of changes to your thoughts and feelings. Give yourself a break.

Vintage Fisher Price
When I instagrammed this picture a couple weeks ago I received lots of comments about the vintage Fisher Price Little People camper set. Which, to be honest, was sorta the point. Yes, notice my cute kid first, but please don't let her cool toy go unnoticed. Lamp got this camper set for Christmas and it may have had everything to do with the fact that I had that same camper when I was a kid and I loved it. As much as I used to despise the idea of loud, battery operated push button toys, with blinking whirly-bops and loud doodle-snaps, I have been super grateful to have toys like that for Lamp. Having some limited fine motor skills those toys are really great for her. But that's another reason I love vintage Little People. There are no tiny plastic dresses to take on or off, the guys fit in little notches so they stay in place and there are movable parts that aren't too small or tricky for her to maneuver. That and the fact that they're just cool + vintage means I'm sold. These are toys that actually get played with. (We have a farm set too).
Since I did so much trolling for vintage Little People sets before Christmas I was pretty well versed in the different sets, what they cost, etc. Well last week on Etsy I came across the Little People holy grail.
Behold, the Amusement Park.
Merry-go-round, spinning swings, single swing, cars, boats, a bridge, and a train. Not to mention 7 wooden figurines.
You guys. This is a complete set. And while the bridge is broken (we'll glue it) and one other piece has a small break, everything else is in great condition. On ebay a complete amusement park set was priced anywhere from $300-500! Um, I didn't pay that much. Also, the seller informed me that this was from her neighbors house, originally purchased circa 1962 and I'm only the second owner ever. I love knowing little details like that. And the girls really love playing with it. They get that it's special and not like their other toys. And they get that mama will go ballistic if they don't play nicely with it.
First Susan, now this? Thank you vintage toy gods... thank you.
Do you too find yourself rather invested in the toys your kids play with? My kids have plenty of random, mismatched toys but I also like having sets of certain brands that I think are quality. Especially toys that actually encourage creative, interactive play. In addition to Little People I'm also a fan of Playmobile--another set my girls love that are often on sale at Toys R Us. Do you collect toys for your kids? Am I the only one that can get as excited by certain toys as my kids are?

I love love both of those sets! My mom has kept all our old little people and she has Sesame Street playhouse and the house with all accessories. It's seriously been all of my kids favorite thing to play with. They just don't make them as good as they used toReplyDelete
We had the camper set too at our house! and the sesame street playhouse. they are the raddest toys ever. ever. so happy the vintage toy gods are with you!ReplyDelete
oh my gosh, yes! I had that Little People amusement park set when I was a child and I didn't even remember it at all until I saw your picture. nostalgia flashback! and we LOVE Playmobil at our house. we love it so much that we have a room in our house we call the "playmobil room".ReplyDeleteReplies
No way! I can't believe you had this set...glad I could be a flashback for you. And that's so funny that you too love playmobile...I love that they're still childish, if that makese sense...it seems that so many toys aimed at younger children have a certain grown-up appeal (Barbies and those horrible Bratz). And I sorta love/hate all the teeny-tiny playmobile parts...they make it so cool, but so easy to lose too. Can't have it all...Delete
My Mum kept all our Fisher Price from the 70s and my son plays with it now. Luff that sort of continuity. Your little girl is very cute.xReplyDelete
we love little people here. My girls are 9 & 7 and still play w/them. In different ways now (they add the people to their barbies and baby doll "families" but nevertheless, Little People still rule here at our house.ReplyDeleteReplies
Keri--Yes! That's what I love about these little sets. I know people think Waldorf style toys make for the best make believe since they don't already tell a story, but I know my kids mix them all up and use them with other toys too...so I think they're still plenty imaginative. Glad to know your older girls still love them.Delete
STOP IT!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I saved my kids' Fisher Price zoo and airport from the 80's. My grandkids LOVE playing with them. My daughter can't believe that I still have every piece, down to the steaks for the lions. She was able to score a vintage zoo just like mine STILL IN THE BOX (!) from Craigslist for next to nothing. Made Santa's work very easy this year.ReplyDelete
Wow! I never saw this complet set. Thank you for sharing your photos. I never had those toys when I was kid. But I remember my cousins had some (it was the only reason I wanted to go to their house). I bought a few for my kids end all three (2 girls and a boy, from 5 years old to 11) them love them. Also thank you so much for your blog. My boy was born with some physic abnormalities and he had some sever delays in is development. Now he is 5 and after al lot of therapy he's doing great (he's started regular kindergarden) and his physical differences are not as obvious (thanks to the operation for his ptosis). But they're still some hurtful stares, comments and questions (fortunately, less and less). Your blog and the moms' testimonials are a great confort. Merci. (sorry for my poor English).ReplyDelete
omg. that amusement park set?! i've lived my 34 years on earth and NEVER saw it until now. and the original wooden little people. w00t! you've hit the jackpot and my heart smiles that 50 years later your little ones get to enjoy the awesomeness.ReplyDelete

Vegetable Mixture
2 tbsp (30 mL) olive or vegetable oil
2-3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 ½ cups (600 ml) Cookin' Greens™ Designer's Mix
½ cup (120 ml) diced red pepper
¼ tsp (1 ml) sea salt
Egg Mixture
6 large eggs
¼ cup (60 ml) milk or cream
2 tsp (10 ml) all purpose flour
1 tsp (5 ml) sea salt
½ tsp (3 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh basil
½ tsp (3 ml) dried oregano
1/3 cup (80 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive or vegetable oil
Vegetable Mixture
Heat the oil in a large frying pan; add garlic. Stir. Add Cookin' Greens Designer Mix and red pepper; sauté for 7 minutes or until just cooked. Season with salt. Set aside to cool down while preparing the egg mixture.
Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream, flour, salt, pepper, basil, oregano and cheese. Set aside until vegetables have cooled.
Just before cooking, combine egg and vegetable mixtures and stir well.
Preheat oven to 350° F(180° C).
Heat the oil in a non-stick large omelette pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the egg mixture, spreading everything evenly over the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until the eggs are barely set and can be easily loosened from the sides of the pan, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Uncover the pan and place in the oven to finish cooking, until the top puffs and the eggs are completely set, another 5-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Loosen the frittata using a rubber spatula to make sure it is not sticking to the pan. Slip it out onto a plate or cutting board. Cool slightly before cutting into portions.
Tastes great served hot or at room temperature with salsa or tomato sauce and a green salad on the side.

Fedora 19 (codenamed "Schrödinger's Cat") is officially out this week, and it's looking to be more than just another latest-and-greatest iteration of a popular open source, Linux-based operating system. From 3D printing tools to better support for virtualization and storage, this latest version of Fedora, the Linux distribution sponsored by Red Hat (RHT), offers a lot that other leading Linux distributions currently don't. Here's a look at some of the highlights.
For starters, the new release benefits from a comprehensive slew of 3D printing software, such as the Skeinforge and OpenSCAD applications. Of course, you'll also need 3D printing hardware, not to mention a fair amount of expertise in this emerging technology, before you can start churning out your favorite customized car parts, dishware or what have you. Still, the attention Fedora is giving to 3D printing makes it stand out among Linux distributions, many of which can run the same tools as Fedora but among which Fedora alone has chosen to make 3D printing a marquee feature.
Fans of MATE, an increasingly popular desktop environment that independent developers forked from GNOME when the latter discontinued the GNOME 2.x series, will also be pleased with Fedora 19, which includes support for the MATE interface. That should help attract users to Fedora who dislike competing desktop environments, especially Canonical's Unity.
Another notable feature, particularly for server users, is support for live virtual storage migration. This functionality, equivalent to VMware Storage vMotion, will allow users to migrate virtual machines and their storage from one Fedora system to another with no downtime. That's a key feature for helping open source virtualization compete with proprietary alternatives.
Server users might also appreciate the introduction of packages for NFStest, a suite for testing the open source NFS network file system. While NFS isn't quite the same thing as Ceph or GlusterFS, storage systems designed specifically for Big Data, it is one of the most popular network storage infrastructures. Easily accessible testing tools for NFS certainly won't hurt Fedora's appeal among administrators designing large storage networks.
One potential disappointment to certain Fedora fans—for now, at least—is that Pidora, a "remix" of Fedora tailored to the Raspberry Pi ARM-based computer, is still based on Fedora 18. But that hardly makes it ancient, and users interested in installing Fedora on low-cost Raspberry Pi machines don't have too much to complain about.
Fedora 19, which was officially released on July 2, is available now for download.
