What is the most important information I should know about prednisone?
Prednisone treats many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, or breathing disorders.
You should not take prednisone if you have a fungal infection anywhere in your body.
Steroid medication can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection. Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using prednisone.
Call your doctor at once if you have shortness of breath, severe pain in your upper stomach, bloody or tarry stools, severe depression, changes in personality or behavior, vision problems, or eye pain.
You should not stop using prednisone suddenly. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.
What is prednisone?
Prednisone is a steroid. Prednisone prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Prednisone also suppresses the immune system.
Prednisone is used as an anti-inflammatory or an immunosuppressant medication. Prednisone treats many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, or breathing disorders.
Prednisone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking prednisone?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to prednisone, or if you have a fungal infection anywhere in your body.
Steroid medication can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection or worsening an infection you already have or have recently had. Tell your doctor about any illness or infection you have had within the past several weeks.
To make sure prednisone is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- any illness that causes diarrhea;
- liver disease (such as cirrhosis);
- kidney disease;
- heart disease, high blood pressure, low levels of potassium in your blood;
- a thyroid disorder;
- diabetes;
- a history of malaria;
- tuberculosis;
- osteoporosis;
- glaucoma, cataracts, or herpes infection of the eyes;
- stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, or a history of stomach bleeding;
- a muscle disorder such as myasthenia gravis; or
- depression or mental illness.
Long-term use of steroids may lead to bone loss (osteoporosis), especially if you smoke, if you do not exercise, if you do not get enough vitamin D or calcium in your diet, or if you have a family history of osteoporosis. Talk with your doctor about your risk of osteoporosis.
Prednisone can cause low birth weight or birth defects if you take the medicine during your first trimester. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Use effective birth control.
Prednisone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Steroids can affect growth in children. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication.
How should I take prednisone?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Take with food.
Your dosage needs may change if you have any unusual stress such as a serious illness, fever or infection, or if you have surgery or a medical emergency. Do not change your medication dose or schedule without your doctor's advice.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Do not crush, chew, or break a delayed-release tablet. Swallow it whole.
While using prednisone, you may need frequent blood tests at your doctor's office. Your blood pressure may also need to be checked.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using prednisone.
You should not stop using prednisone suddenly. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.
Wear a medical alert tag or carry an ID card stating that you take prednisone. Any medical care provider who treats you should know that you are using a steroid.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
An overdose of prednisone is not expected to produce life threatening symptoms. However, long term use of high steroid doses can lead to symptoms such as thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex.
What should I avoid while taking prednisone?
Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using a steroid.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using prednisone. Prednisone may increase your risk of harmful effects from a live vaccine. Live vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), rotavirus, typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), zoster (shingles), and nasal flu (influenza) vaccine.
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking prednisone.
What are the possible side effects of prednisone?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
- blurred vision, eye pain, or seeing halos around lights;
- swelling, rapid weight gain, feeling short of breath;
- severe depression, feelings of extreme happiness or sadness, changes in personality or behavior, seizure (convulsions);
- bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood;
- pancreatitis (severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate);
- low potassium (confusion, uneven heart rate, extreme thirst, increased urination, leg discomfort, muscle weakness or limp feeling); or
- dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, confusion, chest pain, shortness of breath, uneven heartbeats, seizure).
Other common side effects may include:
- sleep problems (insomnia), mood changes;
- increased appetite, gradual weight gain;
- acne, increased sweating, dry skin, thinning skin, bruising or discoloration;
- slow wound healing;
- headache, dizziness, spinning sensation;
- nausea, stomach pain, bloating; or
- changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your arms, legs, face, neck, breasts, and waist).
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect prednisone?
Many drugs can interact with prednisone. Not all possible interactions are listed here. Tell your doctor about all your medications and any you start or stop using during treatment with prednisone, especially:
- amphotericin B;
- cyclosporine;
- digoxin, digitalis;

After returning to The States I've been keeping things very mellow. The spring weather in CT has been a mixture of hot, cold, and wet weather. Without much happening for me with climbing at the moment, I was lucky to head out one day with Ty. Ty has been trying a project in CT which might be one of the hardest in the North East. He was very close and then the weather shifted. Temps went from 50's to the 80's. We were thinking that anything that might have gone down would have to wait until next fall. But on this day something changed. Conditions went from a jungle feeling to a cold windy fall day. Without any plans we headed out and Ty capitalized on the weather which was a gift from the gods. No name yet but the grade is in the 8B+ range!!!!

Climbing trips for me follow an up and down trend, mostly related to the weather/conditions. The last month here in Switzerland has been the same, ups and downs, some cool days a lot of warm days. Motivating has been a bit challenging for me. The last two days have been nice with the northern winds picking up.
The prolbem below need no introduction. All I have to say is that I've spent many many years wondering if I would ever climb it.

A week in the Uk
A life long dream of mine was to visit Sheffield. I realized that dream a week ago. Although the weather didn't allow many days out. I had a great time with the people I met. Some day I will go back.

(Reuters) - Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped from her Utah bedroom in 2002 as a teenager by a self-styled religious prophet and held for nine months, details her captivity in a memoir, "My Story," published on Monday.
Smart, 25, describes in the book her persistent fear during the ordeal and how she persuaded her captors, religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell and his wife, to travel from California back to Utah, which eventually led to her rescue.
"All I could think of was if I wasn't found here, there's no way I'm going to be found anywhere else," Smart told NBC's "Today" show on Monday. "I have to get back to Salt Lake."
Smart retells how Mitchell, now 59, kidnapped her from her Salt Lake City bedroom and took her to a nearby mountain encampment. He would rape her every day for the next nine months, Smart writes.
Mitchell took Smart and his wife, Wanda Barzee, to Southern California three months after kidnapping the teenager.
Smart persuaded Mitchell to hitchhike with her and Barzee back to Utah from California after Mitchell had suggested taking Smart to the East Coast. Smart said she believed she would be recognized only in Utah.
Smart, who married last year and works as an advocate to prevent crimes against children, said she still hangs onto words her mother spoke days after she was rescued when a passerby spotted Mitchell walking down a street with her and Barzee in Sandy, Utah, and notified police.
"The best punishment you could ever give him is to be happy, to move forward with your life and to do what you want to do," Smart said. "By feeling sorry for yourself and by holding on to what's happened to you that's only allowing him to steal more of your life away from you, and he doesn't deserve another second."
Mitchell was sentenced to life in prison following a six-week trial in 2010 in which Smart testified about her abduction and captivity. Barzee was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Smart, a devout Mormon, also details in the book how playing the harp and horseback-riding have helped her in her recovery.
"Healing takes a lot of different forms and it's different for everybody and there's not a wrong way and there's not a right way," she said.
"My Story" is published by St. Martin's Press, an imprint of privately held Macmillan.

The need for good horse equipment
It is important to remember that any equipment is used to be kept in a good condition and free from wear and tear. In particular, important items such as reins, girth, girth straps and stirrup leathers should be regularly checked to prevent wear and tear from going unnoticed and becoming dangerous. It is not only the stitching that needs to be monitored, any leather cleaner / saddle soap should be used to prevent cracks, weaknesses and tears. Whichever saddle you use, GP, western or synthetic, it should fit true and your bridle should sit comfortably and neither should rub in any place.
There are a wide range of safety accessories that can be utilised when hacking.
Boots and or bandages are the best ways of offering protection to the horses legs. There are many different types, fetlock boots; brushing boots; complete boots that offer protection to the tendons and fetlocks as well as wicking moisture away from the legs, preventing rubbing and over-reach boots. These can be made using many different materials, leather, neoprene, nylon and synthetic fabrics are all common.
When you know that the ground or footing in areas you will be hacking through the horses shoes can help in horse a firmer footing, helping to prevent dangerous slipping and sliding. There are other techniques that can help to prevent the build up of snow in the horses hooves that can be discussed with your farrier if you find yourself having to ride in snowy conditions frequently.
A mobile phone is now an essential of everyday life for most people. For safety reasons this should also be taken with you when hacking out, especially if horses riding out alone. This is best carried in a secure pocket with the ringer off so as not to startle your horse should it go off. In the event of the emergency you can use your phone to call the vet, your yard or your home should you need it. Even the most isolated areas should allow you to use emergency numbers, preventing you from being stranded in the case of an emergency.

NORTHWOOD — After collecting vinyl records, posters and music memorabilia for decades, Northwood record dealer Don Pingree has amassed a sprawling collection of cultural artifacts. Below are ten of the more noteworthy items currently on display at his store, Wingo's Wecords, which is located inside R.S. Butler's Trading Company, the antiques store he owns with his wife, Colleen, in Northwood.
NORTHWOOD — After collecting vinyl records, posters and music memorabilia for decades, Northwood record dealer Don Pingree has amassed a sprawling collection of cultural artifacts.
Below are ten of the more noteworthy items currently on display at his store, Wingo's Wecords, which is located inside R.S. Butler's Trading Company, the antiques store he owns with his wife, Colleen, in Northwood.
Released in 1966, the album "Yesterday and Today" by The Beatles is sought after by record collectors because of the controversy that swirled around its release. The album's original cover featured members of the group smiling beside the remnants of decapitated plastic babies — a decision that was quickly second-guessed. The group's record label recalled the records, and the album was released with a sanitized cover photo. Original copies still contain the original album artwork underneath.
Many seminal jazz recordings were released on Blue Note Records, and original pressings from the label are prized by collectors. One of Pingree's most valuable records is a late-50s original mono pressing of saxophonist John Coltrane's "Blue Train" album. The album is marked with the original label, printed when Blue Note was located at 47 West 63rd St. in New York City.
The "Roundup" was a country music-focused magazine. It provided song lyrics to help music enthusiasts keep up with new material. Pingree acquired this 1956 edition from a collection in a home in Pembroke. The piece is noteworthy because it contains a special section focused on the rise of rock-and-roll. The magazine features Elvis Presley, and also offers an opportunity to win a date with him. "What's unique about it is the fact that these are rock-and-rollers on a country song thing," Pingree said. "It's right when that ... was changing."
The Curtis Knight Band was a local hard rock band that enjoyed success in New England in the 70s and 80s, Pingree says. Their albums were never widely distributed, but the records have become valuable on the internet, since they were produced in limited numbers. Pingree currently has a copy of the band's "Love Album," which was recorded and mixed at MCM studios in Worcester, Mass., in 1985. It was pre-produced in Billerica, Haverhill and Chelsea, Mass., and Rochester, N.H., from October 1983 until the recording date two years later. "It's a small label, limited pressing, probably, and wasn't available," Pingree says, explaining the value of the album.
Released in 1968, Neil Young's self-titled first album didn't originally have his name on the cover. His name was added to the top of the album cover only after Young became more well-known in later years. "This record didn't really sell until he released the second album, which is 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,'" Pingree said.
The poster dates to a concert on Friday, Nov. 21, 1980, at the storied music club Irving Plaza in New York City. The venue hosted other acts such as Talking Heads and the Ramones after being converted into a rock club in 1978. Siouxsie and the Banshees were a punk and new wave act from England headed by lead singer Siouxsie Sioux. Pingree said an "extreme fan" of the band sold the poster to him.
Dating to the 1930s, one of Pingree's oldest records is a recording by Chicago blues guitarist Tampa Red on Bluebird records. Tampa Red's music is relatively abundant, but recordings of some other blues performers — such as guitarist Robert Johnson — are worth thousands of dollars. "This blues stuff is kind of hard to find because it generally didn't sell well in New England," Pingree said.
Still in the original wrapper, a "Woodstock mad flyer" kite created to promote the 1970 documentary "Woodstock" was added to Pingree's collection this month. The kite measures 30 inches by 30.75 inches. Pingree says it's the only piece of Woodstock memorabilia he's seen in connection with the film, which won an academy award. "Kite disappears and all you see is object soaring in space," the label reads.
This 1968 poster was made to promote a gig by the J. Geils Blues Band, predecessor to the band of nearly the same name. The band was playing at the Catacombs on Boylston Street in Boston during the week of Jan. 23-27. Pingree said the poster came off the wall of a man who knew one of the band members. Pingree hasn't placed a value on the item, since he doesn't plan to sell it.
Gatton was a lesser-known guitar player who rose to prominence in the Washington, D.C., area. He committed suicide in the 1990s, and his albums have since become very collectible. The "Redneck Jazz" album was released in 1978. It features Buddy Emmons playing pedal steel guitar. Pingree's copy of the album was produced on red vinyl. "This came from a batch where a guy must have known Danny Gatton because he had seven or eight records in his collection," Pingree said.

Talk Boost is a targeted intervention that narrows the gap between 4-7 year olds with language delay and their peers. It is a 10-week programme delivered by trained teaching assistants that can boost a child's communication by up to 18 months. This has been shown to have an impact on progress in reading – 90% of children with delayed language met or exceeded progress in reading after Talk Boost. Talk Boost helps children with delayed language development who would not usually qualify for specialist help, but are not thriving at school because of a speech and language need.

It just goes to show that good things always find an audience. In 1904 a pharmacist in Latrobe, Pa., who loved to create her own inventive fountain dessert combinations, came up with the banana split (an ice cream dessert with a banana cut lengthwise).
Word spread through students at the local college, and before long this ice cream classic caught on at soda fountains across the country.
What makes this dessert so famous? A long boat-shaped bowl filled with big scoops of different ice cream flavors and flanked by banana halves is a showstopper for sure. And to gild the lily, pineapple, strawberry and chocolate toppings glisten atop the ice cream rounds.
If that's not enough, the original recipe calls for drifts of whipped cream, crushed nuts and maraschino cherries as a final garnish. It's definitely meant for a celebration.
The recipe here, a creative adaptation of the original banana split, caught my eye for its sheer simplicity. The bananas are grilled with the skin on, which adds a deep rich banana flavor and also a bit of sweet caramelization.
A sleeker version than the original, this one also calls for vanilla ice cream, fresh summer berries and your favorite chocolate sauce. Put a sparkler in each one of these sundaes and celebrate the holiday in sweet bliss.
For a standout sundae:
• Make sure that the grill is clean so that other flavors won't interfere.
• Use the best quality fine vanilla ice cream you can find.
• For a rich fruit flavor, let the berries come to room temperature before serving.
• This can be easily double or tripled.
Grilled banana split
Serves 4
4 ripe yet firm bananas, halved lengthwise with the skin on
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Favorite store-bought chocolate sauce
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
Whipped cream and toasted sliced almonds, for garnish
1. Prepare a very hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to high (450 F to 500 F).
2. Place the bananas, cut side down, directly over the hot fire and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on the cut side only, until there are some grill marks.
3. Peel the bananas and cut in half again, and arrange in 4 shallow or sundae bowls. Put a scoop of ice cream in the center of each dish of bananas. Spoon the warm sauce over the top, garnish with berries, whipped cream and almonds, and serve.

Mozilla's Boot 2 Gecko: Who Wants Another Web-Based OS?
Aug 1, 2011 5:00 AM PT
Well it's been another scorching week here in the Linux blogosphere, where all the vegetation has been baked to oblivion and all the tempers are running hot.
There's nary a drop of water to be found around here anymore -- all the wildlife have packed up and set off in search of more hospitable ground -- but at least there's still the Punchy Penguin blogobar, where the shades remain drawn and the air conditioning stays on High.
Linux Girl was comfortably settled on her favorite barstool for the day, in fact, when a brawl broke out in the pool room in back. Turned out it was over Web-based operating systems, and which one looks the most promising.
It was then that Linux Girl first learned of Mozilla's crazily named "Boot 2 Gecko" plans, and ever since her head has been ringing with questions. What about Chrome OS? What about Webian Shell? What about Jolicloud, for that matter? And why now?
Linux bloggers seemed to be pondering similar queries.
'I Don't Want a Mozilla OS'
"Maybe Mozilla should focus on making a useable Android browser before trying to re-invent the OS," suggested brunes69 on Slashdot, for example. "Firefox for Android is abhorrent compared to the built-in Webkit browser."
Similarly, "How about just going back to making a good desktop browser?" agreed Elbereth. "I don't want a Mozilla operating system, some sort of 'open web experience,' a smartphone browser, or anything else that Mozilla is peddling these days.
'Just Ignore Everything Else'
Then again: "I'm using Firefox 5.0 right now, and it's probably the best browser they've made thus far," countered derGoldstein.
"They're already working on future versions," derGoldstein added. "If they feel they can develop additional software that's adjacent (or possibly contains overlapping code) to the browser, then why not? If their function, in your eyes, is to make a good desktop browser, then you should be pleased. Just ignore everything else they do if you find it distracting."
And again: "You gotta realize that with smartphones outselling computers, if Mozilla doesn't get into mobile web browsers (and yes, Firefox mobile for Android needs A LOT OF WORK), then they won't have a say in the open web one day," offered kangsterizer, referring to Boot 2 Gecko's stated focus on the mobile arena.
'Very Limited Appeal'
The dusty patrons down at the Punchy Penguin had their own opinions.
"Interesting idea," opined Chris Travers, a Slashdot blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, for example. "I think these approaches have very limited appeal. After all, a lot of people, including me, prefer to have a lot that works on the client even when there is no internet connection."
And while it is "certainly possible to write word processors and spreadsheets that will do this with boot to gecko, you have a chicken-and-egg problem in that it is hard to justify this without a user community and it is hard to get a user community that needs this without the software," Travers pointed out. "Java equivalents help, but in a lot of areas there are not a lot of really mature options."
Travers' prediction, then, "is that this will become common on internet kiosks and uncommon elsewhere," he said.
'A Bad Case of Chrome Envy'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack took a similar view.
"It is still far too early for a web-based OS, since a lot of the world (and even a lot of the US) don't have internet connections reliable enough to pull this off," Mack pointed out.
For Slashdot blogger hairyfeet, Mozilla's move is a symptom of something bigger.
"If this doesn't show Mozilla has lost their way, frankly I don't know what does," hairyfeet told Linux Girl. "Remember when Firefox was supposed to be the 'fast, light' browser? What happened? I'll tell ya: They got a bad case of Chrome envy and have been shooting themselves in the foot ever since."
'The Chromium Engine Is Better'
To wit: "FF sucks memory like there is no tomorrow, slams the CPU, and they expect to use THAT engine on mobile devices, an area that is typically RAM and CPU starved? The Gecko engine simply can't do what Chromium can, and the sooner Mozilla either accepts that or decides to rewrite Firefox, the better," hairyfeet opined.
In short, "the Chromium engine is simply the better engine, no doubt about it," he concluded. "Thinking they can pull a 'me too!' and do what Chrome can simply isn't based in reality."
Blogger Robert Pogson, however, took a more upbeat view.
'No One Can Predict the Outcome'
"Innovation is always a good thing," Pogson told Linux Girl.
"I am not sure we need yet another OS, but who knows? Alibaba, Baidu, Google, Intel, etc., are all doing similar things," Pogson noted. "No one can predict the outcome.
"We want the world to produce its own software, and everyone needs a focus," Pogson concluded. "I expect software developers will push for a unified platform like Java or Dalvik to make the multiple OSes less of a problem for them."

MESOS CB220 (Value)
Converged Cluster-in-a-Box Network Attached Storage (NAS)
- Cluster-in-a-Box, high availability, reliability & serviceability
- Simple management & easier configuration
- SMB 3.0, NFSv4.1, de-duplication and software parity support
- Powered by Windows Storage Server 2012 R2
Powered by
Converged Cluster-in-a-Box Network Attached Storage
Tailored for SMB storage applications, QCT's innovative MESOS CB220 features a highly available, fully redundant, and fault-tolerant Cluster-in-a-Box solution powered by Windows Storage Server 2012 Standard Edition and LSI Syncro CS solution.
Cluster-in-a-Box, High Availability and Reliability
MESOS CB220 is a 2U 2-node network storage appliance, featuring transparent failover via two redundant nodes in an active/active cluster enabled by a gigabit Ethernet interconnection and Windows Cluster Failover Manager. If one server node fails, the other one will seamlessly take over all I/O activities, keeping the system up and running without errors or data loss.
Windows Storage Server 2012 offers new enhancements, including Storage Spaces, ReFS (Resilient File System) and NTFS Online Corruption Repair, at the foundation of the storage stack with disk I/O and file system capabilities that can help protect you from drive failures, protect the data on those drives from corruption, and perform self-healing operations online if corruption does occur. New SMB 3.0 supports node failover in a cluster and provides continuous availability for application storage. The server for Network File System (NFS) can now dynamically respond to server problems by supporting the improved transparent failover capabilities in Windows Storage Server 2012.
MESOS CB220 with LSI Syncro CS solutions use two storage RAID controllers with two server nodes are designed to provide continuous application uptime at a fraction of the complexity of existing high availability solutions, further to provide a redundant and simplified server failover cluster function by sharing the storage in a single cluster-in-a-box form factor.
Shared infrastructure design provides remarkable energy/cooling efficiency
Each node is equipped with two Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2609, 32/64 GB of memory, and two Gb Ethernet ports plus a 10 Gb Ethernet option. Two server nodes share the same chassis, power supplies, and fan modules, which provides remarkable energy/cooling efficiency and infrastructure investment savings.
Compact shared storage design offers high density, simplified cable management and energy savings
Two server nodes also share the same in-chassis storage space. Compared to traditional clustered solution that requires external shared disk enclosure, numerous network cables, and complex system configurations, MESOS CB220 can save 22% of power consumption, provide double density, and greatly simply cable management in its already wired 2U chassis. Data Deduplication provides significant storage savings
Windows Storage Server 2012's advanced ability to perform deduplication provides significant storage savings with 50-95% primary data reduction.
File-Based Server Application Storage with new SMB 3.0
A new version of SMB, Window's main remote file protocol, is introduced in Windows Storage Server 2012 to make sure file storage could meet or exceed the requirements commonly applied to block storage, without losing file storage's inherit benefits in ease of management and cost effectiveness. New capabilities include:
Block-level access with iSCSI
MESOS CB220 also supports block-level access and functions as an iSCSI SAN via iSCSI software target, allowing it to share iSCSI LUNs over the network to heterogeneous application servers running iSCSI Initiator.
Simplified Server and Storage Management
Administrator can easily manage local server, multiple remote Windows servers on the network that can be located through Active Directory (AD), DNS, or an IP address, and a group of Windows servers that you would like to perform the same actions on, in Windows Storage Server 2012 Server Manager.

IUCN Director General, Julia Marton-Lefèvre, chaired a high-level discussion on food, water and energy security during the recent meeting of the UN Secretary General's High Level Group on Sustainable Energy for All. She championed the theme that energy, water and food security rely on ecosystem services and in order to safeguard them, we must invest in nature's supporting role.
Linked to the 2012 International Year of Sustainable Energy, IUCN has been invited as part of the initiative that brings together leaders from business, government and civil society to help achieve three major targets by 2030: to achieve universal access to modern energy services; to improve energy efficiency by 40%; and to produce 30% of the world's energy from renewable energy. The first meeting of the High Level Group was held during the UN Private Sector Forum and led to the creation of a 'Framework for Business Action on Sustainable Energy.'
"The demand for energy, food and water is set to rise in the coming years," says Marton-Lefèvre, "Current trends predict that energy needs will be up 50% by 2030, the need for food will rise 70% by 2050 and there will be a 40% increase in the gap between water supply and demand. If we do not address this nexus proactively, there will be no transition to a more sustainable, equitable society."
IUCN encourages governments and the private sector to recognize the role of natural infrastructure in supporting multiple goals of food, water and energy security. For example, natural and built infrastructures that are mutually supportive, such as wetlands which store water that flows downstream for irrigation. In the Ruhuna (Sri Lanka) basins, water diverted for energy generation now returns to the river downstream for agricultural systems.
Along with natural infrastructure, supporting the development of appropriate economic tools, incentives and policies, including Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES), to fully account for the benefits of ecosystems, is also key said Marton-Lefèvre.
"Innovative solutions involving all sector stakeholders is needed to find the optimal balance of investments in both natural and built infrastructure", says Marton-Lefèvre. "Given the right policy frameworks, investments made in building resilience through natural infrastructure are part of the solution to support multiple development goals of food, water and energy security."
According to Marton-Lefèvre, the environmental community can and should collaborate with the renewable energy industry. Together both can effectively manage the environmental and social impacts of energy options to help understand, avoid and manage risks. Both parties must ensure that renewable energy is developed in the right places, meaning not just technically and financially, but also environmentally and socially.
Currently, 2.5 billion people do not have access to sanitation and 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water; 1 billion people suffer from hunger and 2 billion suffer from malnutrition; and 2.5 billion people do not have access to modern forms of energy.

1949 Chevy Truck - Deal Or No Deal
There Was No Delibertaion Buying This '49
There are some deals that are just too good to pass up. Take, for instance, numerous happy hours that revolve around $1 a beer, Jack In The Box two for $1 tacos, or Wal-Mart's $9.99 DVD combo pack consisting of The Three Amigos and Spies Like Us. No one can walk away from solid gold such as that! When Gary Paolucci stumbled across a '49 Chevy truck knee deep in completion, he couldn't pass up the deal the owner offered him to take the build off his hands.
Gary found the truck out in Nebraska, and at the time the previous owner was rounding third base on completing the truck, but for some reason he decided not to finish the truck and offloaded it to Gary, who had no qualms with that decision. Although the truck could have easily been finished in a mere matter of weeks, the truck wasn't exactly Gary's style, so he took the '49 to his Long Beach, California-based shop and went to work.
The biggest problem with the '49 was the suspension setup, especially the fact that it didn't lay frame. Gary's first task was to tear out the existing suspension and install a Chevy Nova clip in its place. Along with the IFS Nova clip came disc brakes and an ever-so-important airbag setup. In similar fashion, the back was outfitted with the 12-bolt rearend from the Nova and a parallel leaf spring setup, and, of course, airbags as well.
With the suspension and stance set, the next hurdle was deciding on wheels. The verdict came in as a set of Boyd Coddington Junkyard Dogs, which Gary later had chromed. Yet in order to stuff in the 20x10-inch rollers under the truck's bed, Gary had to mini-tub the bed. As for the front, the 18x8-inch Junkyard Dogs slid right in. The custom rear roll pan was already installed, and Gary figured something needed to be done up front as well. What he ended up doing to give the '49 a cleaner look up front without touching the body was to shave the front bumper bolts.
When Gary began contemplating what powerplant should sit between the framerails, nothing sounded better, literally, than a Chevy rat motor. Gary ordered a GM Performance Parts 454 crate motor. From there he ordered an Edelbrock intake manifold and a more aggressive Edelbrock cam. Providing the air and spark is a Holley carburetor and Mallory ignition. The last detail to go on the engine was the custom-built see-through valve covers. Backing the big-block is a Turbo 400 transmission with a Lokar shifter.
One of the key factors that led Gary to buy the Chevy is the fact that the previous owner had already completed all the paint and bodywork. And considering the color he chose was the deep and rich GM Indigo Blue, there was no need to change anything.
With the exterior finished, Gary just had to make up his mind on what he wanted to do with the interior. Keeping with the blue theme, Gary went with a blue German leather interior. The front seats were pirated from a Jaguar XJG and covered in the blue leather. Then the door panels were stitched to match the seats. Where the radio once sat in the Chevy's dash, four Auto Meter gauges to monitor the Chevy's heartbeat now sit. Auto Meter gauges also replaced the speedo and tachometer. Lastly, the interior was topped off with "Wolfy" the shift knob. Now the only thing left to say is that the '49 turned out to be one good deal.

Got the BGE up to nearly 900 F last night, for makin' some delicious Chicken Tikka Masala (Blumenthal type). Need a new gasket.It was the last night that my dad and stepmom were in town. I like the idea of a sacrificial gasket-melting for a big event.
One of these days I'm going to buy a BGE. I need another BBQ grill like I need a hole in my head but they are very appealing. I like their thermal capacity and their ability to hold their temperature.

I like their thermal capacity and their ability to hold their temperature.The Egg has helped transform my que'ing, smoking and grilling due to the control and efficiency. However, I'm considering selling it and buying an thick-walled offset with a smoker box. Unfortunately, the Egg is just too limited on space and it doesn't have a cool spot anywhere to move meat/food. It's all or nothing baby...I'd like the offset with a smoker-box so I can grill, smoke or que in the main chamber and cold smoke hanging sausages and meat in the box. Not at the same time obviously but it's impossible to hang sausage properly in the Egg's dome space.Not exactly what I want but something along the lines of this:
I agree. It ain't happening anytime soon.
Quote from: euge on October 22, 2012, 06:24:05 PMI agree. It ain't happening anytime soon....but it sure is very cool looking. I'll bet could do some serious Q on that equipment.
I learned today that pork hocks need to be brined or soaked in buttermilk before cooking. I put two after cleaning well in a pot of mustard greens. There was still that musty funk that I find disagreeable. When I brined/cured them before the funk had vanished. I popped these in a 400* oven and further roasted them for 45 minutes. Ate them with sauerkraut and carrots- thankfully I had plenty of homemade spicy ground mustard as a condiment because to combat the odor.I'll eat the stinkiest cheese but somehow that stanky hock smell just turns me off.
Have you ever seen pigs fly? Well ours do! Our veryown flying pigs are bone in ham hocks that are so tenderit'll blow your mind. They come in orders of four and withyour choice of hot sauce, honey mustard, Barbecue, or our veryown boozy sauce for dipping…$9.95
Just ordered a Cookshack Smokette Elite for my parents. Excellent quality electric smoker, can use chunks for smoke. Smaller home version of the commercial Fast Eddie Cookshack. Couple buddies in town have them and are quite happy with the food coming out of these things.http://www.cookshack.com/store/Smokers_2/Smokette-Elite-Model-SM025My parents are leaving the country for the next 5 months, so they want me to break in and learn how to use it over the winter... may have to do some side by side cookoffs with my UDS.

Form A Practice Group Step-By-Step Guide
Student Allison Heim put together this handy list of advice for how to form a practice group:
1) Bring paper and pen on the first day of a new class and get everyone's names and email addresses. Email everyone to get the ball rolling on a practice group. You can hash out a day and time on the thread or if you want to be super cool and organized you can set up a doodle for classmates to fill out and figure out what works best for everyone.
2) Book space for your practice! There are many studios that offer hourly rates for improv. Check the IRC post on rehearsal spaces. (http://www.improvresourcecenter.com/mb/ ... hp?t=20610) There's lots of options and I will not list them all here. Browse that thread and ask new friends you meet in line at shows what their preferred practice space is. Make sure you ask for the room rate when you book so you don't accidentally book some unnecessarily big fancy room for $30/hr and so you can quote teammates an appropriate figure for how much practice will cost.
3) Once you've found a day/time that works for a critical mass of people (typically a minimum of 6 to keep it affordable) and secured a space, it's time to find a coach. Use this IRC thread (http://www.improvresourcecenter.com/mb/ ... y.php?f=34) or the UCB coach thread (viewforum.php?f=19) to find a coach. Go to Harold Night and make note of performers you enjoy and see if they coach. Many do and their email addresses are easy to find on either of those threads. Make sure you specifiy the following in your email to a coach: time, date, location of practice, what level your group is (101, 201, etc.), if you have anything specific you'd like to work on. Don't be shy about asking coaches for their rate. It is a fair question considering reasonable rates can run between $20/2 hrs to $90/2 hrs depending on the coach's experience level (i.e. new Lloyd night performer vs. seasoned Death By Roo Roo vet). Don't negotiate with coaches on their rate. Ask so you ensure you are getting a coach at the appropriate budget for your group's needs.
(Note from Will Hines: note student Chris Griswold's advice: "Shop around for coaches. Higher cost ones aren't necessarily better. 'Coaches shouldn't be making a living from coaching.' - Chris Gethard. Your coach should be willing to see some of your shows.")
(Note from Erik Tanouye - the registrar can give you the emails of current UCB teachers who are available to coach if you email them at email@example.com)
4) Awww yeah! You're doing it! Teammates are interested, practice space is booked, and a coach is secured! Start a new email thread to your class w/practice group details in the subject "201 Practice Thurs 9/6 7-10," give all specifics in the email of day, time, location, coach, and expected cost of the practice group. Ask for people to RSVP. Specify that the practice group will cap out at 8 participants so everyone gets in some quality reps and your coach has a manageable herd to corral.
- It is helpful to put in a polite "Don't be a dick" policy on cancellations. I have used the following wording: "Friendly cancellation policy: To make sure no one gets stuck doing one-prov and to keep costs reasonable for all, please adhere to a 24 hour cancellation notice. If you need to bail last minute, be prepared to pay for your share at our next class."
5) Show up on time, wear close-toed shoes, and have an awesome practice!
Practice Group - Other Advice
Here's some general practice group advice from various students.
Managing It
Paying a month in advance rather than at each practice results in better attendance and is more equitable (one person isn't always paying upfront). (Dan Blondell)
Get everyone in the group to pay on a monthly basis, so that way less people cancel last minute and monies only need to be collected once a month (David Craig)
Pay structure: set up a system so everyone has to pay even if they miss practices. Encourages people not to flake and to be committed. (Michael Romanos)
Assign one person to book the rehearsal space and another person to book the coach. Also have a coach for every rehearsal. (Katey Healy-Wurzburg)
Make sure to let people know that they've got a cancellation window beyond which, if they've previously confirmed, they will owe their share whether or not they show up. Make this relevant to the amount of notice you must give to the rental facility for cancellation, i.e.: 24-hrs, 48-hrs, 2 business days. There's nothing so dreary as expecting 7 people to a practice and three people show up - and those three must pony up north of $20 each - yikes! (Mimi Fischer)
These sites are good for finding mutual availability: (Adam Pasulka)
• http://doodle.com/
• http://www.when2meet.com/
Who Should Be In It
Ask people you like to do it, Hang out together. Practice groups are fine, and can be a whoever has time to drop in kind of thing, but being a team that rehearses together with a regular coach is more fun and (I think) makes you a better improviser faster. (Katey Healy-Wurzburg)
Better to form a group with people you like hanging out with from class rather than random people you find online. You're going to be hanging out with these people a lot so you should already know you're going to get along. (Michael Romanos)
Overbook your practice group to about 8-10 folks because people tend to cancel. (Doug Widick)
I think the easiest way to form practice groups is to start a group with people in your current class. Starting an email thread and getting a weekly practice together is really easy. And if it's opened up to everyone in the class, usually it works out well for attendance because out of 16 people, half will tend to show up. (Julianne Cross)
My best piece of advice is to go out for beers after class, or tea, if you're that type of colonial class. Making connections with your classmates is a great way to start a practice groups. It's nice because there is already a foundation and some familiarity with each other. All of my teams have come from those beginnings. Although I didn't participate in jams that much early on, I think it's another great way to talk to folks in the community. (Megan Venzin)
Out of experience and observation, the groups that hung out after the practice tended to stick together more consistently. Though, people who enforced hangouts was a turn off. (Grandle Planksmith)
Definitely hang out after practice for beers but don't get upset if someone cannot socialize with the team. Take the improv seriously, do good improv together and the friendships will grow naturally. Similarly don't take it personally if someone up and quits. If they don't feel like being in your group, they are free to fly away. (Ben Weinstein)
When To Do It
Setting a consistent day/time in stone is usually better than jumping around dates and times. (Doug Widick)
If one is looking to form a practice group it helps to get as many people as possible from a class you just finished to join and schedule it to meet weekly in the same time frame as the class your group just finished. (James Belarde)
Where To Rehearse
Improvresourcecenter.com -> Rehearsal Spaces Thread (may not be 100% up to date) / Find a Coach / (occasional) Find a Practice Group
UCB Forums -> Find a Coach / Find a Practice Group
Nycpaspaces.org -> Search Rehearsal Spaces
(Brady O'Callahan)
nycpaspaces.org - allows you to search/book online rehearsal and performance spaces with price and size filters. Gives options in all boroughs. Over 2,000 spaces are indexed. (Eric Goldberg)
Shop around for coaches. Higher cost ones aren't necessarily better. "Coaches shouldn't be making a living from coaching." - Chris Gethard. Your coach should be willing to see some of your shows. (Chris Griswold)
For finding coaches, I do either IRC, UCB boards, or word of mouth. Same sort of goes for practice spaces, but that's more word of mouth. Some studios, like Cap 21, are half price on weekends / day of. (Adam Pasulka)
Also, never practice coachless, someone will end up getting pissed off. If you leave your practice and you're not pissed off, it's just not you this time. (Krista Jensen)
General Advice
Don't form a practice group just to get hours in. Find people you WANT to play with. (Alexander Grass)
Ask Advanced Study performers who have a little experience where to book rooms, they'll know. Ask the same people for advice for coaches. Also, the IRC has listings. (Alexander Grass)
When it comes to getting more involved in the indie-scene (doing shows), maybe recommend seeing shows posted on Facebook and New York Improv Teams (http://newyork.improvteams.com/) and encourage people to talk with other teams. Even if their team is not performing, they should just go and see shows with people they know/don't know in them. (Vincent Moore)
Questions to ask yourself: Is this just a practice group, or a performance group as well? Maybe start as a practice group and let it evolve. Will people be paying regular dues, or only paying if they can make it to practice? If you're performing, will your coach come to your shows?
(Adam Pasulka)
Something that really clicked for me was when Billy Merritt suggested on his blog that the group should all attend a Harold Night (or any show I suppose, but this way you can see up to 24 players in one sitting, plus whoever's hosting...) together and watch for a performer who exemplifies a style or a brand or just a mentality that the entire group finds attractive. (Krista Jensen)
Respect everyone's life and goals. Some of us want to improvise. Some want to write. Others act, or do standup, or work a demanding corporate job, or get drunk all the time, or train for a marathon. My team expects members to be completely invested in our own practices and shows. But outside of those three or four hours a week, we are free to pursue whatever we want to pursue. (And it's probably a good idea to support those other choices by occasionally attending your teammates' standup shows, sketch shows, road races, benders.) (Jim Sherwin)
Come on time. Nothing removes the productivity of a two hour practice more than people filtering in during the ten, fifteen, thirty minutes late. You don't have to be a jerk about people being late, but it should be the aberration and not the norm. (Christopher Scott)

gcTool1 1.01 is a third-party Windows software that provides extra functions to fit your needs, but you may also decide to gcTool1 1.01 temporarily or permanently for personal reasons, like gcTool1 1.01 does not work as you expect, a newer version is needed to be installed, or you just wanna free up some space on your hard disk. If installed correctly, most Windows programs can be uninstalled via Add/Remove Programs applet. However, some stubborn, corrupted or malicious programs or plugins can be a bit tough to fully remove from the system, especially for those novice users. Here are some potential problems you might encounter when trying to gcTool1 1.01:
Have no idea how to gcTool1 1.01 without causing troubles? Get lost in dealing with these uninstall issues and find no way out yet? Calm down. Since you come to this website, you will learn some useful tricks to accomplish gcTool1 1.01 removal. Read on.
When you install gcTool1 1.01 onto your PC, it will be added to the program list located in Windows Control Panel. The conventional way to get rid of any program running on Windows OS is to head to the Start menu. But what upset users the most is the remnants left after uninstalling gcTool1 1.01 by this way. Well, a complete uninstall is necessary to keep your computer clean and organized. If you have no clue how to gcTool1 1.01 without trace left, please follow the removal instructions below.
For Windows 7 users:
For Windows 8 users:
For Windows 10 users:
Tip 1 : gcTool1 1.01 may fail to complete the uninstallation when some of its executable files are missing or corrupted. If you mistakenly deleted something necessary before uninstallation, or the default uninstalled has been damaged, gcTool1 1.01 may not appear in the installed program list, and error messages may show up to interrupt or end normal uninstall. In that case you need to run the gcTool1 1.01 installation package to cover missing/corrupted files, and then gcTool1 1.01 from Control Panel again. Some installers may give you an option to uninstall older or problematic version.
Alternatively, you can activate gcTool1 1.01 built-in uninstaller by accessing to its instillation folder (usually located in C:/Program Files) and running the file named Uninstall.exe or Unins000.exe. To help locate the installation folder, you can do these: right click gcTool1 1.01 shortcut on the desktop, choose Properties option in the list, click Open File Location within the new window, and then navigate to gcTool1 1.01 installation folder.
Since you have uninstalled gcTool1 1.01 from Control Panel, you may think gcTool1 1.01 removal has been done. Actually it is not yet. Once installed, gcTool1 1.01 may add hidden plugins, create cache folders, change registry entries and otherwise modify your system settings, while Windows default uninstaller may not do good in fully removing the preference settings, temporary files, cache folders, and especially registry entries. Those residual files can be very large to occupy your disk space, and they will degrade your PC performance if you don't try to clean them up. To avoid overweight registry and disordered system , you should continue with next two steps:
Notice: Manually deleting entries in your registry can be quite risk-taking if you are not so adept at advanced computer operation. Any mis-operation there may pose potential threat on your system. Even for experienced users it can be time-consuming to thoroughly delete gcTool1 1.01 traces in registry. So use Registry Editor at your own risk, and make full use of the backup & restore function as a precaution act.
Still have trouble in getting rid of gcTool1 1.01? Look for an all-in-one solution to gcTool1 1.01 uninstall issues? A good general-purpose uninstaller may be a better option for you. Total Uninstaller is a lightweight but powerful tool that can help you perfectly remove hidden/troublesome/malicious programs.

Organic Food and Your Health
Proponents of organic food extol its health virtues. One example: a finding that children who switched from conventional to mostly organic produce had no traces of pesticides in their urine within a matter of five days.
But organic food is typically more expensive and harder to find than traditional food. And skeptics say the health benefits haven't been demonstrated in published studies.
Have you made it a point to eat as much organic food as possible? Did you feel better? Vote and post your comments, which may get excerpted in a coming Wall Street Journal special report.

My next stop on my Dallas tour was Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center, where I met with Phil Tyne, a former San Diego Chargers strength and conditioning coach. He retired from that role several years ago, but I caught a glimpse of some of his football memorabilia in his office, including a picture of him on the sidelines at the infamous 1982 playoff game in Cincinnati where the wind chill hovered around 59 degrees below zero (thanks, Stuart, for the sports history on this one). I also found out that Phil had invented some commercial exercise devices that he sold on QVC at one time.
Phil showed me around this hospital-based facility where they recently converted a basketball court into space for more strength and cardio equipment. It was a better use of the space, he said. Telos had done the same thing, I recalled.
The pools were also impressive, especially since they use an ultraviolet light system to keep the water clean. They use chlorine in the water, too, but only because the state of Texas requires that pools in the state use chlorine.
The facility is a hotbed for triathletes who train within the club's walking track using the bikes they'll ride in the triathlons. They set up the bikes together and make them stationary using a special device. Then, they go through a Spin-like class as they watch a screen that shows the Tour de France route. I would have loved to have seen that class in action.
The grounds around the facility were well manicured and included a picturesque stream, a small waterfall, some bronze sculptures and a walking trail. The weather was spring-like in Dallas that day, so I was tempted to stick my toes in the water, but instead, I moved onto my next visit, Gold's Gym International. But before I arrived, I had a little adventure. You'll have to read the next entry to see what that was. --Pam

Assume that you use SQL Server 2012, 2014 or 2016 AlwaysOn Availability Groups and that your database contains some corrupted pages because of a fault such as a malfunctioning storage driver. In this situation, the automatic page repair feature may successfully repair the pages silently in the background. However, the DBCC CHECKDB or DBCC CHECKTABLE command does not work well with these repaired pages. Additionally, you receive a false error message that resembles the following:
Msg 5262, Level 16, State 1, Line line_id Object ID object_id, index ID index_id, partition ID partition_id, alloc unit ID alloc_unit_id (type In-row data), page (page_id), row row_id: Row contains a NULL versioning timestamp, but its version chain pointer is not NULL. Version chain points to page (0:0), slot -1.
When you receive this error message, it does not mean that you have database corruption. Instead, it indicates that the DBCC command does not recognize that these pages have been repaired. After you apply this fix, the DBCC command now recognizes that the pages have been repaired, and you will no longer receive this error message.
To check the repaired pages, run the following Dynamic Management Views (DMV) query:
