History is littered with examples of successful (and unsuccessful) people who kept daily journals. It ranges from Marcus Aurelius to Ben Franklin, and from Mark Twain to George Lucas.
But what on earth did they write about?
Or perhaps you've seen examples of their writing and thought to yourself, "Goddamn, that reads like the Gettysburg Address!" and become demoralized.
In this post, I'll show you what my raw morning journal looks like.
Because it's easy to imagine our heroes as unflappable juggernauts, who conquer insecurity with a majestic mental karate chop every morning. This is, of course, an illusion. Most people you see on magazine covers have plenty of mornings when they'd rather hide under the covers all day long.
A while back, I bared my soul in a post about "productivity" tips for neurotic and crazy people (like me). I was overwhelmed by the hundreds of heartfelt comments, letters, and more that I received.
Many of you have since asked about my "morning pages," so I'm oversharing again…
The Daily Struggle
Nearly every morning, I sit down with a hot cocktail of turmeric, ginger, pu-erh tea, and green tea. Next, I crack open this large-format paperback (pic from my Instagram):
To be honest, I never read the original Artist's Way, which was recommended to me by many mega-bestselling authors.
More book consumption didn't interest me, as I often use it to procrastinate. What I needed was a daily and meditative practice of production, like the tea ceremony. So, voila, I bought the journal. This "companion" provides plenty of context to be used by itself.
But why journal in the first place?
I don't journal to "be productive." I don't do it to find great ideas, or to put down prose I can later publish. The pages aren't intended for anyone but me.
Morning pages are, as author Julia Cameron puts it, "spiritual windshield wipers." It's the most cost-effective therapy I've ever found. To quote her further, from page viii:
"Once we get those muddy, maddening, confusing thoughts [nebulous worries, jitters, and preoccupations] on the page, we face our day with clearer eyes."
Please reread the above quote. It may be the most important aspect of trapping thought on paper (i.e. writing) you'll ever encounter. Even if you consider yourself a terrible writer, writing can be viewed as a tool that you can and should use. There are huge benefits to writing, even if no one — yourself included — ever reads what you write. In other words, the process matters more than the product.
Below is one of my real entries.
I've typed out the text below the image, as it's easier to read.
Woke up at 7:30am, before everyone else. Feels great.
It's a Sunday, so I feel I can take it slow, which is probably the reason it feels great.
Why should Monday or Tuesday be any different? There are still people waiting regardless. Let them wait.
It's funny how we work and aim and strive to get to a point where people wait for us, not the other way around. Cue Get Shorty!
And yet, when we arrive at this vaunted point, the masses of people (often rightly) incessantly knocking on the door, one after another, causes far more stress than when you were a mere peon (sp)! [I was unsure of spelling]
Is it because of the 100x more inbound, which decreases a feeling of self-directed free will? A feeling that you're constantly choosing from someone else's buffet instead of cooking your own food?
Or is it because you feel you must be defensive and protect what you have: time, money, relationships, space, etc.?
For someone who's "won" through a lifetime of offense, of attacking, playing the defensive game conflicts with the core of who they are.
So… What's The Point Again?
There are two ways to interpret the above journal entry, and they're not mutually exclusive:
1) I'm trying to figure things out, and this might help.
For instance: I've realized conflicts between goals (become "successful") and related side-effects one must manage (100x more inbound). I've also noted that my big wins in life have come from being aggressive, much like iconic coach Dan Gable, who's epic rant here is one of my favorites of all time. But the fetters of even a modicum of professional success makes one feel like they have to play defense, or manage instead of conquer. This runs counter to my DNA, which leads to unhappiness. Therefore, I need to divest myself of assets that require "protecting," or I need to better delegate this responsibility.
That all sounds pleasantly analytical. Aren't we smart? But perhaps the real value is that…
2) I'm just caging my monkey mind on paper so I can get on with my fucking day.
#2 is key.
Morning pages don't need to solve your problems. They simply need to get them out of your head, where they'll otherwise bounce around all day like a bullet ricocheting inside your skull.
Could bitching and moaning on paper for five minutes each morning change your life?
As crazy as it might seem, I believe the answer is yes.

Texas all woman car dealership is pulling in the customers
The idea that women don't know anything about cars is a bad steterotype and one Texas dealership wants to put it to rest.
Victory Auto Smart opened in January on John Stockbauer Dr. and is now well and truly on the map, largely because of their unique approach which they say was a happy accident.
The dealership's entire crew is female.
"I don't think it was ever done on purpose ... I think it just worked," said Jessika Peinkofer, sales manager at Victory. "We bring a more positive atmosphere. Women, nine out of 10 times, are a little happier and more enthusiastic."
CarPro Approved
Admittedly, the staff is small, with just three ladies running the show but Peinkofer says the lack of men does cause a stir with new customers.
"Most of them are amazed. They say, "Oh wow, all women?" Or they come because of that and say they just wanted to see what it was all about," Peinkofer said.
The team includes Lorean Clauson, 23, and Laurynn Nichols, 21, the collections manager and sales consultant respectively. The women admit they do have to work harder to convince male customers to trust them.
"They ask us questions to to trip us up a little bit, but then they realize that we do know what we're talking about," said Peinkofer.
Relationships are the key to sales, according to the trio, who put extra focus on building friendships with their customers so they trust them enough to recommend family and friends.
Fifty percent of sales are now attributed to referrals so their plan seems to be working, and it's not just women customers but men also.
Peinkofer says she prefers female sales people when she shops also.
"Over the weekend I bought a jet ski ... I would have loved to have a woman (salesperson). I could have felt more open. I don't want to feel stupid, I can ask questions and not feel judged," she said.

Gżira is an urban locality between Sliema and Msida on the western side of Marsamxett Harbour. It has a seafront promenade with views over Manoel Island and Valletta. The only landward access to Manoel Island is the bridge from the Gżira strand. This small island lies in Marsamxett Harbour between Sliema Creek and Lazzaretto Creek. The Knights of St John realised the potential of the Island as an isolation enclave against the plague and other infectious diseases and built a quarantine hospital here in 1643. In 1722, Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena began to appreciate the value of the Island for the defence of Valletta and commissioned the fortress which bears his name, Fort Manoel. Completed in 1726 in baroque style, it is a remarkable military edifice. The fort was badly damaged in World War II, but has been restored as part of the development of the Manoel Island and nearby Tigne' as a residential and commercial area. The Island has boat repair yards and winter berthing facilities. Gżira shops include numerous yacht brokers and chandlers which serve the nearby Ta' Xbiex and Msida Marinas.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Night on the Battlefield
Following are excerpts from two articles that appeared in the Cleveland Herald in April, 1863.
Night on the Battle Field of Stone's River--The Old Year Out--the New Year's Ride
Carefully, driver, carefully! Let the hard iron of the wheels roll slowly over the pounded stone of the [Nashville] pike. The young soldier still lives. His breath is short, but we may yet reach the hospital ere he dies. Guide steadily past the shattered wagons--round the heaps of dead horses--through the long rows of corpses; watch that no foot of a horse jars against the fallen dead--the heroes of the last day of 1862--resting now, where they fell, or where friends have laid them. Here they lie in rows of miles, sleeping out the old year. On the last day of Sixty-two they stood for their country and for Freedom. At its midnight hour they sleep, no more to awake to war's ringing bugle call.
Well might thoughts of the old year and of eternity crowd upon the mind of the soldier whose duty to the wounded living brought him across that vast field of the ghastly dead--this night so clear and frosty--the last of December.
The story, as he told it--he, a private...--let me tell it.
That awful night! Words will not paint it, yet may give some faint idea of what sad experience a day of carnage brings.
At 9 o'clock of the evening of December 31st, an ambulance left one of the hospitals of Rosecrans' army, moving in the direction of Nashville. Two soldiers lay upon the carriage. The life blood of one, following the passage of a minnie ball through the breast, was oozing out from the right lung, staining the blankets beneath. The other, suffering from a crushing shot through the left leg...[was] scarcely conscious. Along with the carriage walked [the] private--going to care for his wounded companions.
Three miles along the stony pike...lay their route. Here an artillery wagon had been swept by a bursting shell--its gun dismounted, its wheels shattered, the horses and men fallen together, lay mixed as they had gone down. Still tangled in the harness hitched to the caissons, lay the hind parts of a horse, his breast and forelegs swept away, while the lifeless body of an artillerist rested with an arm over the dismounted gun....
Yonder a cavalryman had fallen, his drawn saber reflecting in the moonlight against the dark earth where he lay; and beside him his comrade and his horse, all keeping the same silent watch of death.
The sharp frost of a clear night spread its white drapery over the clothes of the dead--on the locks [of hair]...gathered its icy breath, offering alike to all a common shroud....
All along the road for more than two miles, were these scenes of horror met by the weary soldier. Still on rolled the ambulance--past broken wagons--lost muskets and dismounted artillery, to the great general hospital of the fourth division.
Here after midnight lay the wounded and dying, covering an acre of ground...of which every room was filled, every outhouse crowded, the very floor wet with blood. Close by lay a man with an arm gone--next to him one with a leg smashed--there a part of a face was shot away....Yet all those hundreds living, many waiting the dressing of their wounds with patience.
Our two soldier boys were taken from the ambulance into the building, and with hundreds of others closed no eyes to sleep that last December night.
The morning sun of Jan. 1st, 1863 rose upon a day as clear as ever dawned. Surgeons came that morning, and looked upon the one wounded in the breast,...whispering to the private that "He will die."
At 9 o'clock that morning [another] soldier and the one wounded through the breast were put into a strong army wagon...and, with the private and...driver, started over the pike for Nashville. Just as they reached the bridge the enemy, sweeping round our right, had brought a battery to bear upon the bridge.
Fearfully whirled our driver on, as if careless of the dying men in his charge, and only seeking safety in flight. Full three miles the race continued, when on came dashing a battalion of the rebel Wheeler's cavalry...yelling and firing on the teamster and the wounded. The breast-wounded soldier lay gasping, and ordering the other soldier, who held his footless leg in one hand..., to shoot the driver if he did not stop, that they might surrender, before they were murdered by the now near foe. But on, on heedless alike of threats and enemy, dashed the driver.... Nine miles over the stony road had the race continued. The determined driver had brought his team through, and escaped with the suffering load.
At 9 o'clock that evening they were taken from the wagon...and placed upon good cots, receiving close attention at the hands of skillful surgeons.
Charles Stansell, the driver, and the soldiers he transported survived their ordeal at Stones River. Later, Stansell was killed in a fight. He is buried at the Hazen Brigade Monument on the battlefield at the request of those he saved. The soldier who had been wounded in the breast at Stones River wrote the following tribute for the Cleveland Herald:
Death of a Brave Soldier
The untimely death of Charles Stansell, Co. G 41st Ohio, deserves from me more than a passing notice.
Charles Stansell was the fearless driver of a four horse team from Murfreesboro to Nashville...when Lieut. Wolcott and myself were being conveyed to a hospital.... He...would not stop, but rushed on, heedless of our protests and threats...thus saving our team, our wagon, and our lives, all of which would have been sacrificed had we fallen into the hands of the rebels.

I got a sneak peak of the new Head shoes coming out in March. I need to buy one type of shoe for men and another for women. They all look great but I need help on which I should get based on looks. They all have pretty much the same qualities and features and the price will range between 89 to 109. Let me know what you think!
This is the Men's Insane Pro. I like how it kind of wraps around the foot.
Below are the new Prestige Pro II. I like the look of them and the 1st prestige pro felt really comfy.
Below is the Radical Pro II. Had a nice clean look to it
Below is the women's shoe that I think I will be getting.
Views: 148
I agree. It's hard to buy shoes without trying them on. It's like racquets. It may be a popular stick but you never know if its for you until you try it. Thanks for the help!

Judges will now decide whether an elections overhaul in North Carolina requiring photo identification to vote and scaling back early voting is discriminatory or permitted under the law.
Several groups and voters filed two lawsuits in federal court challenging the law soon after Gov. Pat McCrory signed the bill Monday. Some of the same groups also planned to sue in state court soon.
Lawyers challenging the law said at a news conference Tuesday they have a strong case and the totality of changes will be horrendous for black voters. Republicans who passed the bill disagree and say provisions are similar to those in other states.
Duke University law professor Guy Charles says the plaintiffs face an uphill battle to prevail but some provisions could be hard for legislators to justify.

Previous Story
The NAACP announced a press conference for Tuesday morning at 9:30 am in Durham saying the group will take legal action in response to the new state law requiring voters show ID at the polls.
The NAACP says the law could keep African Americans from having an equal voting opportunity.
Governor Pat McCrory signed the voter ID bill into law Monday, which requires all voters to provide photo identification before filling out ballots. Those in favor say it could eliminate voter fraud, but those opposed, worry it's preventing voters from acting out their rights as Americans.
We asked people in Greenville what they think.
"If you're a U.S. citizen you should have an ID anyway," said Christopher Davis.
"I think he's losing votes from people who are valid voters, and at the end of the day, it's just another way for the government to make you pay more money," said Beau Connors.
The bill calls for anyone without a photo ID to be able to get one free of charge for voting purposes at the DMV.
Gov. Pat McCrory has quietly signed into law a Republican-supported measure that makes sweeping changes in how and when people can cast their ballots in North Carolina. Within hours, two lawsuits had been filed to challenge the new act.
There was no formal ceremony marking the bill signing. McCrory's press office sent out a statement saying he signed the legislation Monday and also posted a 95-second message on YouTube giving his reasons. Governor McCrory says anyone will be able to get a voter ID for free at the DMV.
Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper had written to McCrory urging him to veto the measure.
Republicans have said the legislation is meant to prevent voter fraud, which they claim is both rampant and undetected. But non-partisan voting rights groups, Democrats and libertarians suggested the true goal is to suppress voter turnout, especially among blacks, the young, the elderly and the poor.
Monday afternoon, several groups announced they had filed lawsuits challenging the new law. Those groups include the NAACP and the League of Women Voters.

New Conference Center Proposals for Jefferson City
JEFFERSON CITY - On Wednesday night the Jefferson City Council plans to hear proposals from two private companies regarding a new conference center.
One proposal will be heard from Farmer Holding Company and the other proposal will be heard from Ehrhardt Hospitality Group.
The Farmer Holding Company's plan includes about 130 hotel rooms and a 20,000 square foot conference center on Country Club Drive near Capital Mall. The estimated cost of its plan is $24 million.
Ehrhardt's plan would put the conference center and the hotel in downtown on McCarthy Street. Ehrhardt wants a 30,000 square foot conference center. Its plan would cost an estimated $36.8 million and is said to be completed by summer of 2015.
Both of the plans show the hotel and the conference center attached and as a Marriot Courtyard.
They City proposed to contribute up to $9 million for the project.

The Train Takes You: Vintage Travel Posters from Near and Far
The Special Collections Research Center celebrates the peripatetic joys of summer with this exhibition of vintage travel posters. The twenty-five posters representing the U.K., France, Germany, U.S.A., Australia, South Africa and Switzerland are drawn from the large collection of railroad publications, posters, and related ephemera assembled by alumnus Jeremiah J. O'Connor. The collection was donated to the library in the 1960s by his sister, Margaret M. O'Connor.
Whether targeting a domestic or an international clientele, these vivid lithographic posters from the era before air travel present the viewer with images of far-away or enchanting destinations. While most of the advertising posters we see today use the camera to capture distant vistas, their predecessors relied on the eye of the artist to embellish upon or artfully extract from the beauty of nature. Some feature dramatic images of trains but all use minimal text, relying on their imagery to communicate more directly with the public.
The north, south and east walls of our gallery feature French, German and United Kingdom posters respectively, while the longest, east wall displays a more international array of rail posters from the 1920s through the 50s. Preliminary selection and research for the exhibition was performed by art history undergraduate intern Marvin J. Aguilar (COL '11).
A related exhibition from the O'Connor collection was presented in 2001 and is also viewable online.
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
This historic poster marked the 100th anniversary of America's first passenger and freight railway, under the management of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company. To celebrate this landmark occasion, the company planned an elaborate Centenary Exhibition and Pageant for a three week period beginning September 24th, 1927. The Fair of the Iron Horse, attended by 1.5 million and held west of Baltimore in Halethorpe, Maryland, intended to document all inland transport since the inception of the country. The company erected four mammoth exhibition halls and as its central feature, the "pageant of inland transport in America" featured a historic collection of "actual locomotives, ancient and modern," as explained in the exhibition catalogue. To augment the B&O's extensive collection, other railroads contributed examples, including the mighty new King George V sent over by the Great Western Railway of England.
The two men in the foreground of this poster are operating Peter Cooper's Tom Thumb, a small, experimental engine and the first one built and operated in the United States, from 1829-30. A reproduction of the original was exhibited at the centenary festivities.
Victorian Railways
These two posters, produced for the Australian national market, attract the viewer with the lure of the fabulous beaches along the southeastern coast. Aldyth Russell's image of children playing on the sand provides the primary message, with the minimal slogan at the bottom which inspired the title for our show.
The majestic cliffside scene touts the extensive network of Victoria's Flier, an express service linking the seaside towns listed on the poster with points inland. Melbourne-based Percy Trompf was a successful commercial artist specializing in poster design. He later created posters to support the war effort and served as a pilot for the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War.
South African Railways
This South African poster beckons visitors from far away England with its sun-baked mountainous terrain along the route to Sunland, a popular destination in the majestic Sundays River Valley, which stretches from Addo in the south to the village of Kirkwood northwest of Sunland.
The German-born George Paul Canitz studied painting in Dresden and moved to southwest Africa in 1909 on the advice of his doctor. He began exhibiting his work with the South African Society of Artists and became highly regarded for his classical rendering of native landscapes. Canitz opened his own art school and also taught at the University of Stellenbosch, about thirty miles east of Cape Town.
Compagnie du Chemin de Fer d'Orléans
The Cantal department in south-central France, a province of the Auvergne region, takes its name from the range of ancient, eroded volcanic peaks covering much of the territory. The highest peak is the Plomb du Cantal, which rises approximately 6,000 feet.
Compagnie Martigny-Châtelard
The Swiss town of Martigny is at a junction of roads joining Italy, France and Switzerland, and on the high-speed Simplon line of the Swiss Federal Railway. From Martigny, narrow gauge railroads ascend the nearby mountains on both sides of the Rhône valley. One railroad runs west to the French ski resort of Chamonix, crossing the border at Le Châtelard. This poster tantalizes viewers with a glimpse of the snow covered Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak, framed by dramatic mountains in the foreground.
This majestic Alpine view in bright, Fauve-inspired colors, advertises the Furka-Oberalp, a narrow-gauge mountain railway in the Swiss Alps. The Furka Pass connects the cantons of Graubünden and Uri between Disentis and Andermatt. Its dramatic scenery was the setting for a "cliff hanging" chase sequence in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.
Named for a Bavarian saint, the St. Gotthard line links Zurich and portions of Germany with Lugano and Italy via another dramatically high Alpine pass. The artist Daniele Buzzi created a number of travel posters, these being his earliest, promoting destinations in Switzerland and Italy. His style transformed in the 1940s and 50s to flattened planes of saturated color.
British Railways
The locomotive shown here is the King George V No. 6000, which traveled to the United States for display as a state-of-the-art steam engine in the Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company's pageant in 1927 (See 100 Years of the Railroad above). Ironworkers in Baltimore outfitted the engine with a commemorative plaque and a bell, which can be seen in the illustration.
Aberystwyth, on the west coast of Wales, has been a popular resort town since the railroad "arrived" there in 1869.
The above five posters were printed in the 1950s, soon after the nationalized British Railways emerged from the Big Four regional railway companies.
The dreamy scenes, all from the north of Great Britain, suggest the rewards of travel off the beaten path: the two posters with artwork by Thomas Gilfillan were actually published for British Railways by a Scottish ferry company, which is still extant today.
Deutsche Bundesbahn
Germany promotes its national heritage in three pictorial maps depicting local foods, churches and castles, and folk tales. While the placement of the churches and castles are accurate, the local delicacies map is vague in areas and the folk tales' locations are almost entirely whimsical. Illustrator Lou Faller drew the maps in the 1930s for the German national railroad, but these posters were produced in the 1950s as railroad museum souvenirs.
Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français
France's rail system was nationalized in 1938 with the merger of its five main rail lines to form the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF). In the mid-1950s, SNCF commissioned the country's leading artists to design posters targeting the international market, with a "Discover France by Train" slogan.
The posters by Foujita and Dufy portray the pastoral charms of the countryside in Normandy along the northwestern coast. Those by Hambourg and Ceria depict Île de France with its majestic Chârtres Cathedral, and the fishing boats along the coast of Brittany, the westernmost tip of France.

We need a retirement system that works for every resident of Illinois.
Our state faces a looming crisis. More than 2.5 million people are working in Illinois today without access to a retirement savings plan at work.
Research shows we are 15 times more likely to save for retirement if we can do so using a payroll deduction, which means those who lack access to employer-sponsored savings plans in many cases are entirely reliant on Social Security.
Unfortunately for this population, Social Security never was intended to be a sole source of retirement income. Indeed, the average Social Security payout per month is $1,281. In Illinois, the median amount of money in retirement accounts is $3,000.
Together, these two numbers tell us that far too many Illinois residents probably will live in poverty when their working days are over. They should not have to choose among paying for groceries, utilities or their prescriptions. They deserve better than that. They deserve a safe, easy way to save for retirement.
This is why we moved the Secure Choice Savings Program through the Illinois Senate. The proposed program would require employers with more than 25 workers that offer no retirement plans to automatically enroll their employees with a 3 percent payroll deduction in the Secure Choice plan. The employees could opt out at any time or change their contribution levels.
These retirement accounts are totally portable, and the money would never enter the state treasury. Instead, it would be owned by the worker. The assets would be pooled to ensure low fees and secure investments.
Simply put, the plan would make it easy for employees to save their own money for retirement without burdening employers or costing taxpayers a penny. The program would be overseen by a board chaired by the state treasurer.
The legislation lays out a simple concept: automatic enrollment in a retirement savings account that belongs to employees � not politicians � and is managed by proven private vendors.
To make it a reality, we need a state treasurer who is committed to transparency, knowledgeable about finance and relentless in fighting for the financial security of ordinary people.
We also need the program to pass the Illinois House for it to become law. It passed the Senate in early April, and we are hopeful the House will follow later this year. Roughly 2.5 million Illinoisans are counting on their state government to take on this problem.
Springfield should leap at the opportunity to pass a common-sense program like Secure Choice. Workers will be given a simple way to set money aside for retirement, secure in the knowledge that the funds will be there when they�re needed. The treasurer�s office will protect every dime. Businesses won�t bear any meaningful costs, nor will taxpayers.
And, most importantly, millions of Illinois residents will have new reason to be hopeful for a dignified, secure retirement after a lifetime of hard work.
Sen. Daniel Biss is a Democrat from Evanston. Sen. Michael Frerichs is a Democrat from Champaign and a candidate for state treasurer. They cosponsored the Secure Choice Savings Program legislation.

Best Practices: The science of storage management
Consistency and standardization are the keys to a disciplined storage operation. How much you can achieve depends on the size of your operation and the resources you have available.
Consistency is the key to a disciplined storage operation.
A common theme in most IT shops these days is how stressed out the storage department is and how the number of available resources falls short of customer demand. In defense of our brethren, storage environments are getting more complex, data keeps growing at an uprecedented rate and everyone still has only two hands. You can continue to fight fires by adding more bodies to your staff, or you can try to douse the flames once and for all by rethinking the way storage is managed.
Micromanagement is a human quality. The more out of control the issue, the more attention it requires. The greater the number of issues you have to deal with, the more likely you'll be interrupted, which means that something will inevitably slip through the cracks. But all is not lost--you can still go from a reactive stance to proactive mode by making a few subtle changes to your environment.
Consistency. The key to easing storage management is consistency. Whatever you do, be consistent at it. I'm not suggesting that if you're doing something counterproductive you continue to do it, but be consistent in the sense that you treat storage management as a science, not an art. Consistency essentially allows you to create repeatable processes that, in effect, remove some of the intelligence from the process and provide ample opportunity for automation.
Standardization. Standardization goes hand-in-hand with consistency. Standardization complements consistency by making processes repeatable, minimizing stress involving one-offs, and ensuring that all initiatives and management issues are treated the same way. If there's one quality that can be the bane of a storage environment, it's one-off solutions. You may be able to manage your environment consistently without implementing standardization, but you're probably still dealing with one-off solutions, albeit in a somewhat consistent manner. That's hardly the stuff of an efficient operation.
Consistency is never complete without standardization; together, the two can ensure that an operation remains healthy. Just as you monitor your own health, you need to keep your finger on the pulse of your storage operation. If you see the number of one-off fixes increasing, it's time to take action.
Focus your efforts
There are several areas where you can strive to achieve consistency and standardization. How much you can achieve depends on the size of your operation and the resources you have available.
Storage implementation. Right from the drawing board, a consistent storage environment implies that all objects in the environment look identical. The "low-hanging fruits" of standardization include standard LUN sizes, predefined storage tiers for types of applications, a minimal set of vendor and product types, and predefined definitions for fabric ports.
Let's take the case of standard LUN sizes. On the face of it, standard LUN sizes may appear to be a big waste of capacity. But coupled with host-based volume management and proper utilization monitoring, standard LUN sizes can go a long way in maintaining a well-balanced storage subsystem.
Balancing a subsystem isn't a trivial task, but it's easier to balance it from the ground up than to try and convert an existing system that's bent out of shape.
Predefined storage tiers. Storage tiers are meant to ensure that each type of deployed disk has a certain performance (and hence usage) profile that should be matched to the needs of the application. By assigning a list of profiles to storage tiers, you minimize the risk of rogue applications misusing a storage tier which, in turn, can lead to one-offs to remediate performance issues.
Standard register of vendors and product types. Every vendor takes pride in its product portfolio and will go out of its way to demonstrate just how well its product will fit in your environment. But a storage environment is no different than a child's closet that becomes a disorganized mess when more toys are thrown in it. You have to decide upfront how much deviation you can tolerate from a standard register of vendors that meet your requirements. You may be better off working with a product from a preferred vendor whose products may not have all of a competitor's bells and whistles if the tradeoff is a closely integrated and highly interoperable environment. You must also keep in mind that any one-off deviation from your vendor list is likely to result in higher maintenance costs.
That's not to say that you should be averse to introducing new technology into your environment. But the process of introducing new technology should be streamlined, standardized, and done in a product-, vendor- and resource-agnostic manner. This allows all new products to be treated in a balanced way and, more importantly, ensures that when a new technology is introduced into the main production environment, it will blend in efficiently without causing any operational disruptions.
Fabric definitions. There's nothing as tempting as finding an empty port in a switch to plug in a Fibre Channel cable. It doesn't take long to go from a healthy fabric to one that looks like spaghetti. Standard definitions or tiers for different initiator and target types will ensure that the fabric won't become an uncontrollable jumble.
Beyond technology
But technology is only half the story. Policies and procedures are the other half of the operational management process and they can't be ignored. Some areas where you should ensure that standards are followed include:
Provisioning. A frequent complaint from storage administrators is that when customers want storage, yesterday is considered too late. But the more hurriedly you try to provision, the more likely a mistake will be made. Responding in "hurry up" mode will also make it more likely that storage gets provisioned inconsistently. A provisioning policy with different levels of severity classified by the required purpose can avoid missteps. Resist the temptation to meet needs on an ASAP basis, but avoid the other extreme of binding the process with red tape.
Publish your operational practices. It's important to make the added effort to publish your guidelines. If more people are aware of your guidelines, you'll have a better chance of ensuring conformity and minimizing deviations. But be realistic. If your existing processes have a turnaround time that doesn't meet the norms of your IT department, it may be time for a reality check. However, it's imperative that all members of the storage team, as well as customers, subscribe to your discipline. You may have to sell them on the benefits to make them advocates of your methodology.
Know your environment. You'll never truly know what shape your environment is in until you gather operational details on a routine basis. Taken one at a time, stop-gap measures may not be so obviously detrimental; collectively they can add up to an environment that's horribly out of shape. By monitoring your environment on a regular basis, you'll be able to detect those one-off fixes early enough to avoid their cumulative effects.
Change control. Perhaps the single greatest threat to effectively managing a storage operation is allowing changes to the environment to occur without proper change control mechanisms in place. A small change in one area can have profound effects on another operation, and seemingly inconsequential changes can accumulate with devastating--and unexpected--effects. If documented, most changes can be rolled back, if necessary.
At the end of the day, you probably won't get a medal for creating and running a streamlined operation. But managing a more consistent and standardized environment will give your blood pressure a break.

Beads, Beads, Beads…Hold a bead in your hand and feel its texture, gaze at a bead and see its beautiful colors and delicate patterns.
What's so great about beads is that they are made from simple materials that have been around for centuries – clay, glass, metal, and stone.
The practice of treasuring and wearing beads began long, long ago. In ancient Egypt practically everyone wore beads on their clothes as well as jewelry. People wore beads not only for decoration, but because they believed that the beads had special powers to heal and protect them.
Beads often end up far from the places where they were made. In the past, a traveler often gave beads to his host as a gift. The host might keep the beads or give them to someone else. That's how beads spread from one region to another. If beads could talk, what stories they could tell!
Beads were also used in place of money. Imagine a beadmaker in India or Venice, hundreds or even thousands of years ago, who earned his living by making beautiful glass beads in colors of brick red, corn yellow, and sea green. People in territories as far away as China and Africa fell in love with these beads and traded very special goods such as gold or pottery to get them. The Venetian whiteheart has been found in Africa, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. As you can see, beads really got around.
We directly import trade beads, silver, brass, copper, bone, shell beads and components from Thailand, Laos, Burma, Nepal, Indonesia and India.

The boozed-up ruffian who sucker-punched a female cast member of MTV's "Jersey Shore" in a Seaside Heights bar over the summer is about to be canned from his New York City teaching job, the Department of Education confirms.
Gym teacher, Brad Ferro, 24, will get a termination letter from North Queens Community High School as soon as this week.
"The department is in the process of taking termination action," against Ferro, said Department of Education spokeswoman Ann Forte.
U.S. & World
Ferro, who will have time to appeal, apologized profusely for socking Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi in the face at the Beachcomber Bar & Grill while the show was taping in August. He said he was so drunk he didn't even remember the incident and watching the video made him nauseous.
MTV ended up deciding not to air the clip, opting instead to blur the scene and conclude the episode with a list of resources for individuals in abusive relationships.
Ferro was found guilty of assault in the Aug. 19 incident, slapped with a $500 fine and sentenced to anger-management classes. He was temporarily relieved of his teaching duties while the Department of Education investigated. And while he likely won't be teaching for awhile, his behavior -- and the consequences for it -- most certainly serve as a lesson to his students.
Opting not to air the "punch heard round the world" was the first time that MTV has backed down amidst the scandal surrounding their newest reality show. Since its premiere, the Italian-American community has pressed for the show's cancellation.
Prior to the "Snooki-punch," programming president at MTV, Tony DiSanto, defended the show saying that it never even crossed his mind that it was offensive.
When he asked whether it bothered him, he said, "To be 100 percent honest, no, even as an Italian American," the president told the Hollywood Reporter. "I just wanted to be cautious about toning down the partying."

Halloween-related literature makes reading a part of trick-or-treating
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
Not all Halloween treats have to be sweet. Children's literature experts at Kansas State University say the holiday is a great time to treat kids to scary or horror-related literary works written especially for them.
While having kids read scary stories may sound like a recipe for nightmares, Phil Nel, director of K-State's graduate program in children's literature, said many of these books can help kids confront their fears.
"A book is a safe place to explore fear -- much, much safer than the real world," Nel said. "And if a book is too scary for a child, she or he can close the cover and stop reading it."
When it comes to books where Halloween is a major part of the plot, Anne Phillips, associate professor of English, says young children will enjoy the picture book "John Pig's Halloween" by David McPhail. This book depicts what happens when John Pig is too timid to go out and trick-or-treat. With the help of a friendly witch, John discovers that Halloween can be a wonderful holiday, Phillips said.
Another book for young readers she recommends is "Six Creepy Sheep" by Judith Ross Enderle and Stephanie Gordon Tessler, with illustrations by John O'Brien. "This picture and counting book follows six friends who decide to trick-or-treat one spooky Halloween night and they meet all kinds of interesting creatures, including a passel of pirates, who turn out to be pigs; a herd of hobos, which are horses; and a gaggle of goblins, which are geese; and many other interesting creatures. The whole adventure culminates in the best Halloween party ever," Phillips said.
Nel recommends the following books for children ages 4 and up:
Dr. Seuss' "The Sneetches and Other Stories," for "What Was I Scared Of?" -- which is one of the "Other Stories" in this volume; "Shadow" by Suzy Lee; "Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears" by Emily Gravett; "Ghosts in the House!" by Kazuno Kohara; "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick" by Chris Van Allsburg; "Mommy?" a pop-up book by Maurice Sendak, Arthur Yorinks and Matthew Reinhardt; "The Charles Addams Mother Goose" by Charles Addams; "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" by Edward Gorey; "There's a Nightmare in My Closet" by Mercer Mayer; and "As the City Sleeps" by Stephen T. Johnson. He also recommends "The Wolves in the Walls" by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, which he calls the scariest of the bunch and probably better for first-graders and up.
"With the exception of the titles by Gorey, Addams and Van Allsburg, these books all help you deal with your fears," Nel said." In 'Mommy?', a little boy frightens lots of monsters. In 'Shadow,' a little girl's imagination takes on a life of its own, which is initially scary, but ultimately empowering. In Seuss' 'What Was I Scared Of?', the narrator learns that the pants with nobody inside them are just as afraid of him as he is of them and the two make friends. 'Ghosts in the House!' is the most light-hearted of the group: a little girl witch moves into a haunted house and, unafraid of the ghosts, gets them to work for her."
Picture books to add this group, according to Joe Sutliff Sanders, assistant professor of English, include Denise Fleming's "Pumpkin Eye"; Laura Leuck and Mark Buehner's "My Monster Mama Loves Me So"; Robert D. San Souci and Daniel San Souci's "Feathertop"; and Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Outside Over There."
Older readers, ages 10 and up, may enjoy some of these chapter books and novels, recommended by Naomi Wood, associate professor of English: "The Witches" by Roald Dahl; "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman; "The Moaning Bones: African-American Ghost Stories" by James Haskins; "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving; "The Dark Forty: Southern Tales of the Supernatural" by Patricia McKissack; and "The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight," poems by Jack Prelutsky.
Wood also recommends the following titles for this age group, but cautions that they have often been on lists of banned books: the "Scary Stories" series by Alvin Schwartz; Lemony Snickett -- a.k.a. Daniel Handler, "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series starting with "The Bad Beginning"; and the "Goosebumps" series by R.L. Stine.
"Dahl and Snicket present children as resourceful and competent to deal with scary things, even when the things are very scary indeed," Wood said. "Of the poetry and folklore collections, the form of the poem helps contain the fear through rhyme -- which is predictable and pleasurable, and can be dramatized for great effect -- or through sudden/surprising endings, as in the children's folklore, which often involve jumping, screeching or other eruptions. Prelutsky is known for his humor rather than his out-and-out scariness, so his poems are more interesting to kids for the for the gross-out factor."
Several comic book series for kids center on Halloween-related themes, Sanders said. Some of his favorites include Joann Sfar's "Little Vampire" books -- Sanders said he especially likes "Little Vampire Goes to School"; and Mike Raicht, Brian Smith and Charles Paul Wilson III's "The Stuff of Legend," about a young boy's toys going into the dark of the closet to rescue him from a world of nightmares.
Another recommendation is Doug TenNapel's comics. "These are great scary stories for young readers," Sanders said. "My favorite is a very recent book called 'Ghostopolis.' My 7-year-old loves it, but I think most people would consider it a book for junior high students."

Our natural environment is one of the things that makes New Zealand special. It gives us the unique quality of life that makes us the envy of the world and indeed even our economy depends on it.
The Resource Management Act (RMA) is a set of laws that's designed to protect all that. But the current Government plans to strip out the core principles of the RMA - the bits that actually protect our environment and give you a say in what happens in your backyard. Disguised as 'removing red tape', this is about re-writing laws to suit big business, and removing your right to have a say in what happens.

Two of my grandson's were H.S. graduates in May. I made quilts for them. One boy wants to be a park ranger, so I designed his quilt with the fish; trees, birds (flying geese) etc, following the outdoor theme. I had it customed long-armed quilted. She did a wonderful job adding stitching that enhansed the blocks.
The other quilt is called Bachelor's Puzzle. I got it from a book--his Mom found it and thought he would like it. It is quilted with an all over quilting pattern (machine done.)

A Taliban leader in Afghanistan has stunningly exemplified a new low in the insurgency.
A U.S. official told Kevin Sieff at The Washington Post that Mohammad Ashan turned up at a police check-point in Paktika province last week so he could collect the reward advertised on his Wanted poster. No joke.
The mid-level Taliban commander showed the poster, with his own picture blazoned across it, to the Afghan troops manning the check-point.
Sieff says officials are wondering whether desperation and lack of resources is catching up with the insurgents. Former Taliban fighters have previously defected to the Afghan-U.S. forces, but this latest incident is a whole other story.
Ashan, who is a suspect in at least two insurgent attacks, boldly asked for the $100 promised to whoever finds the criminal.
"Clearly, the man is an imbecile," said the U.S. official recounting the story to Sieff.
The Afghan forces arrested Ashan and called in their American advisors for a second opinion and to confirm his identity.
"This guy is the Taliban equivalent of the 'Home Alone' burglars," said one U.S. official referencing the ridiculously inexperienced criminal "masterminds" in the popular kids' movie franchise.
Sgt. First Class Matthew Baker was at the scene.
"We asked him, 'Is this you?'" to which Ashan replied, 'Yes, yes, that's me! Can I get my award now?'"
Sieff reports officials took a biometric scan of Ashan's fingerprints and confirmed that he was telling the truth — and confirmed his "improbable stupidity." The Taliban commander was rewarded with nothing but sheer disbelief at how he'd reached a new level of incompetence.

VigRX Plus review is one of the most desirable male sexual health pills. VigRX Plus is formulated and manufactured by the US (United States of America) based company, Top Rated Herbals. They take advantage of age-old ancient methods that use rare herbs to get VigRX Plus, considered one of the highest quality male enhancement pills available on Earth. VigRX Plus is not only a penis enlargement pill but a driver of overall reproductive health.
It is wise to buy VigRX Plus from the official VigRX Plus website only to enjoy their guarantees and benefits. VigRX Plus is definitely an improved version of VigRX. It is a complete male reproductive health improving pill approved by doctors and researchers. VigRX Plus was perhaps the most important selection for men who need to improve their libido, virility, increased endurance and penileism for many years. The original VigRX formula has been around for quite some time and therefore the manufacturer will go a step further and earn VigRX Plus, which works even better than VigRX. VigRX Plus is considered one of the best pills for penis enlargement that is an extremely safe and proven technique for sexual improvement.
The real difference between VigRX and VigRX Plus can be ingredients. Leading Herbals usually make their only significant improvement in the ingredients of VigRX Plus with the ability to produce fast and better results. The primary ingredients of VigRX plus are Bioperin, Damiana, Tribulus Terrestris and Epimedium Leaf Extract. These species have also been approved by researchers worldwide. Because of the natural ingredients, VigRX Plus is 100% bezpieczne.
VigRX Plus results:
As mentioned earlier, VigRX Plus is not only one of the best penis enlargement pills or penis enlargement pills, but a total libido booster. Improvement of penis size is one of the leading research VigRX Plus.
Result # 1: większe, harder, more durable erections!
The greatest blessing for all those men who suffer from erection problems. How can VigRX Plus support impotence problems? There are few magic herbs such as DAMIANA, PUNCTURE VINE, EPIMEDIUM LEAF EXTRACT, ASIAN RED GINSENG and MUIRA PAUMA BARK EXTRACT. We recommend to know more about these herbs on Wikipedia. They have more information about each of these herbs. These three specific VigRX Plus results make it one of the perfect penis enlargement pills.
Result # 2: Better sexual endurance!
Another wonderful result from VigRX Plus. Sexual Stamina needs longer and harder erections, physical strength and mental relaxation. Ingredients of VigRX Plus contain herbs such as PUNCTURE VINE, SAW PALMETTO BERRY, CATUABA BARK EXTRACT and HAWTHORN BERRY. These natural herbs improve the general body strength, the building of body tissues, endurance of the body and the relief of fatigue.
Result # 3: powerful orgasm!
Orgasm is almost certainly regarded as the most enjoyable moment. Orgasm is most effective when someone has a strong desire to get involved in the sex. Sexual interest is the most commonly known as libido. Powerful practical knowledge of orgasm when some have a strong libido that stays in bed for a long time before ejaculation. The herbs DAMIANA, PUNCTINE VEGETABLES, EPIMEDIUM BLADEXTRACT and CATUABA BARK EXTRACT in VigRX Plus support a stronger libido, strengthen the holding power during lovemaking and thus help to have Powerful Orgasm.
Result # 4: No more premature ejaculation!
Premature ejaculation is not a small problem. Uncontrollable premature ejaculation is the result of physical reasons or psychological reasons. Although physical reasons are not much confirmed, but some problems such as hypersensitive pelvic floor muscles. The psychological reasons include anxiety or depression, stress and possibly youth trauma. It is scientifically proven that you have a good relationship between the mental situation and sexual desire. When it is really a negative mood (often with depressions or inferiority complex feelings), few people experience premature ejaculations and few people have ejaculation in any way because they suffer from erectile dysfunction. VigRX Plus has a few fantastic herbs that help fight anxiety and depression.
Ingredients of VigRX Plus work well for the treatment of stressor and anxiety (adaptogens) with restorative nutrients for that nervous system. VigRX Plus is such a magical male enhancement pill that is really popular and few people can do the greatest benefit of the same.
So be careful not to buy it from just a website or store and to buy it from the official VigRX Plus website.
Here is an overview of what you can expect:
Month # 1: See this as your construction phase. The use of VigRX Plus as described in month 1 is crucial. It is the building block for larger, firmer erections.
Month # 2: Now it starts to get exciting. You will see dramatic changes in the appearance of your penis and longer lasting erections. You will also notice a further increase in your sexual stamina.
Month # 3: If you get an erection, your penis will look firmer, stronger and more solid than you ever dreamed of!
Month # 4 – 12: Should we say more? Everything about four months is simply GREAT! Remember that the longer you take it, the better the results!
Oczywiście, some men will not have results according to this schedule, so it's important to finish the bottle with the right dose before assessing your results.

The PAC for Indian Point in Westchester County has been active in supporting candidates...
The PAC for Indian Point in Westchester County has been active in supporting candidates with campaign cash, including Republican Rep. Nan Hayworth and Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the Journal News reported.
Hayworth, the Hudson Valley congresswoman, is seeking a second term against Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney. Gillibrand is seeking a full six-year term against Republican Wendy Long.
The Entergy Corporation Political Action Committee is among the larger organizations helping power producers and associations spread their message in Washington. It ranks 14th on a list of 95 PACs backed by electric utilities and industry associations, according to data compiled by the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics. Entergy has given money to House and Senate candidates nationwide, beyond the seven states in which it or its subsidiaries own or operate reactors. The PAC, said Jerry Nappi, a spokesman for Indian Point owner Entergy Nuclear, "makes contributions to candidates whose views are generally supportive of our industry and share our concerns." The company's PAC has given campaign cash to 10 of New York's 29 House members during the current election cycle. Hayworth of Bedford heads the local list with $9,000, and she ranks third nationally. At the top is Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the second-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives and a vocal supporter of nuclear energy. He received $10,000, the maximum a PAC can give to a federal candidate in an election year.

High Cliffs
11,000 years ago, Aboriginals looked out over the Straits and saw an island with unusually high bluffs.
No Cars
The most noticeable first impression visitors get of Mackinac Island is the absence of automobiles.
Victorian Era
It was the Victorians who made Mackinac Island one of the nation's most favored summer resorts.
Writers' Discovery
19th century writers discovered the Island's charm, but even before then, Indian legends were part of its history.

If the screams from pedestrians and the angry looks from oncoming drivers don't provide enough clues that you've accidentally turned onto a one-way street, maybe it's time you bought a Mercedes-Benz. Wait, what? The company's upcoming vehicles will include an updated safety system that's able to autonomously recognise no-entry signs and warn the driver of a wrong turn.
Using a windshield mounted camera that the system already relies on to keep track of speed limits, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and E-Class will automatically recognise no-entry warning signs. Most of the time they're ignored, but if the driver attempts to pass the sign and pull onto a one-way street, an audible alarm will sound and a visual warning will appear on the dashboard. For improved accuracy, the safety system also compares the camera data with the vehicle's satnav street database, particularly when visibility's reduced during a storm and there's a greater risk of false positives.

Steve Wynn spent over $1.6 billion building the Bellagio, but a new shopping mall in Salt Lake City has one-upped the resort's famous fountains with its own water works creation that spews forth synchronized jets of fire as well.
Opened just last week, the City Creek Center's most awesome attraction—besides its Sbarro's—was apparently created by the same folks behind the Bellagio's fountains. A company called Wet Design who excels at the art of throwing water into the air. It's easy to impress a drunken gambler, but Mormons? You better bring your A-game. [YouTube via Geekosystem]

Marble carvings, such as large or small figurines, groups of people or animals, and architectural decorations, have been a special art form since the time of the ancient Greeks. Marble is a common material for carving or sculpting because it is relatively soft and can be polished. Reproductions, especially of large Victorian groups, are being made of a mixture using marble dust. These are very difficult to detect and collectors should be careful. Other carvings are listed under Alabaster.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- It's been two months since the Rosecrance Triage Center opened in Rockford. Even after the Singer Center closed in late October, hundreds of mentally ill Stateliners are getting the help they need.
Since it opened, the Rosecrance Triage Center has helped more than two hundred mentally ill people. It allows Stateliners to be evaluated immediately in order to figure out the best level of care.
More than one hundred residents were evaluated in December and most cases were referred to the center by police officers and hospitals. The center is open 24 hours and includes a staff of a social worker, counselor, and nurse. Last month, nearly 70% of patients were treated and sent home. Mary Anne Abatee is Vice President for Community Mental Health. She says they've received positive feedback.
"You know you can always modify as time goes by, but I think the idea of having a centralized front door and access for people in psychiatric crisis is something this community desperately needed.
Abatee says even after patients are sent home, they can get out-patient services, including going to a local or state hospital, or going to a crisis residential center where they can stay up to 14 days.
