Our Story
In 1952, Cy Smoller had planned to join the family shoe business, after fulfilling his 2 year Army hitch. Unfortunately, the advent of imports put many domestic shoe factories out of business. Having two uncles in the Credit Union industry, it was decided that Cy would open up an insurance agency and service many of the members of the Metropolitan Credit Union (now Metro) and the New Haven Railroad Employees Credit Union (later to become the Wollaston Credit Union). And so it began on Atlantic Avenue, in South Station, just across the street from the New Haven Railroad Credit Union office.
The marriage was one made in heaven as to this day, there are still retired members of the railroad (and their families) who purchase their insurance from us. Cy was the consummate salesman. He built his practice not with a fancy suit and a lot of big words. His way, one in which he passed on to his son Mark, was building relationships on knowledge, compassion, a handshake and a kibbitz.
In the mid 1970's, Cy's practice was well established, as was the Smoller family in Newton. Given all the major construction happening in Boston, and Cy's desire to bring his practice back to his community, the agency was moved to its current location on Route 9 in Chestnut Hill.
In the meantime, Mark had graduated college (1977) and decided to enter the insurance business on a different level. As Cy's agency flourished writing property and casualty insurance (auto, home, business), Mark began building a book of business in the life and disability field with the State Mutual Life Insurance company. In 1985, he earned the coveted Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation. Mark stayed with State Mutual for 16 years, earning many company leadership awards, including induction into the "Hall of Fame" for averaging an application a week for 10 consecutive years.
By 1992, with Cy's health failing and Mark's life insurance agency about to relocate, it was decided that Mark would go to Cy's agency in Newton, bring his book of business to Smoller Insurance and begin the process of both taking on more of the workload and familiarizing himself with Cy's clients. The latter was easy. The transition was smooth and seamless. Cy's way was always "family". The people doing business with him were never "customers." They were clients, and often friends. It was most certainly then, and continues to this day, a relationship based agency.
In November of 1998, Cy passed away after a 25 year battle with heart problems. The baton had been passed and Mark ran the agency solo for the next 10 years. Cy's goodwill, along with his example of good business practices and community service lead to significant agency growth.
In 2007, Mark's son Billy graduated UMass with a degree from its prestigious School of Management. After 16 months in the banking industry, Billy felt that his skills were better served joining Mark at Smoller Insurance and taking the agency to yet another level.
In an era where managed automobile competition was said to be a detriment to anyone coming into the business, Billy saw it is a great opportunity. While many agencies were experiencing a decline in production due to reduced auto (and homeowner's) premiums and customers shopping, the Smoller Agency experienced unprecedented growth. The combination of having competitive carriers, Mark's expertise and Billy's dogged pursuit of new business, resulted in "off the charts" results, both in terms of premium written and new business.
In Cy's memory, our goal is to continue to provide complete, round the clock service to our clients…as well as give back to our community.

Great job on the website. Reading "Our Story" brought back many wonderful memories my beloved uncle. Just the other day I came across one of the many manually-typed invoices I received over the years, always signed, "Love, Uncle Schmimmy". He would be so proud of how you have grown the business, and kept it personal at the same time!

I'm an Editor in book publishing. All opinions are my own.
Earlier this week I read a wonderful YA book that I knew was perfect for criminally underrated Friday!
The novel has a basic Breakfast Club-like set-up: teens who normally wouldn't interact in regular social discourse are forced together, and the results are awesome. Declan and Neilly couldn't be more different. Declan is into death metal and violent video games. Neilly is one of the popular kids. And they're about to become step-siblings.
NOTES FROM THE BLENDER is a seriously feel-good, funny, and poignant work of contemporary YA fiction. Declan in particular has a wonderful voice, but both teens and their problems are portrayed realistically and appealingly. And if their dialogue seems a little sophisticated, I can forgive it. I especially love that the book illustrated teens who have complicated but overall loving relationships with their parents--no evil parental figures here. If I have one complaint about the book, it was that Neilly wasn't quite as rounded as she could have been. Unlike Declan, she didn't have any interests or hobbies, and this made her seem a little flat to me. But overall, I was thoroughly charmed by NOTES FROM THE BLENDER.
Recommended for fans of the Dairy Queen series, and readers who are tired of fantasy / dystopia / apocalypse and want a good ol' contemporary read.

Many people have asked me about the condition of my RP, so since I just recently
had an eye exam here it is:
I have Autosomal Dominant RP. I have 5 - 7 degrees of vision in my right eye and 3 - 5 degrees of vision in my left. My left eye turns out and has done so since birth. I can only see out of one eye at a time, I have no depth perception. I have recently been fitted for glasses to correct some nearsightedness, otherwise my central vision is good.
I do not use a cane or any other assistance for mobility. I get around fine with the occasional bump and stumble associated RP.
If you want to see an updated picture of me. Click HERE
Vision Update: 8/02
My last eye exam was a year ago, and my vision seems to have stabilized for now. I do need to rely on reading glasses more than I used to and the menu boards at McDonalds are pretty much unreadable to me. However I am reading this computer screen with no difficulty and I work with computers daily without problems. I still do not use a cane, and in fact have negotiated airports, subways, busses, malls, baseball stadiums, city streets and a number of other areas by myself without major incident.
I have received many emails asking me to send them information or to recommend a doctor or to tell them about the elusive cure. Everything I know about RP is contained in these web pages. I have no other information to email or mail to anyone. I can not recommend any doctors and if there was a cure, it would be on the front page of the web page.
I appreciate the many comments I have received about the web page and I am flattered that I am considered an expert by some of you, but I am just a guy with RP who put up a web page.
About the Web Page
My RP Page was started back in the summer of 1996. It was originally a small part of my personal web page. Since then it is continued to grow in size and popularity and regularly receives over 100 hits a day. In December of 1997 I started the RP Pals page, and since then well over 500 people have signed up to be an RP Pal. Needless to say the success of this page has taken me completely by surprised and I am routinely amazed at the reach of this humble little web page.
John - Aug 1999

The RP Page continues to be popular. RP Pals are well over 800 now and my time to keep up the page has been dwindling lately. I am still doing updates to the page and will continue to do so when time allows. I appreciate all the suggestions and material people send me to include in the page, and I do get around, eventually, to putting it all in. My amazement at the popularity of the page has not dwindled. The page is truly international. I have received emails from every continent on earth and probably 100 countries, including countries where freedom is not up to standard we have in the US and I suspect emailing me would be difficult if not dangerous. The journey continues.

I've been living in fear my entire life. Even as a kid I struggled with anxiety.
My mind always wandering, playing out scenarios in my head, worrying how things may go. And until recently it never occurred to me that contemplating the things I can't control is hurting me.
How? You might ask.
Life is going to happen. Bad things are going to take place. Things aren't always going to be easy. In fact, things are going to be excruciatingly painful at times.
Even if I spent every waking second of every day preparing and protecting myself from all of that pain, I'd inevitably still get hurt.
We as humans become so attached to this idea of how life should be, a safe bubble of comfort, that we forget how little control we actually have.
And when things don't go according to our plans and our precious bubble shatters right before us, we have a tendency to shatter along with it.
When we lose control, we feel powerless, but in reality, we're powerful.
Our minds are so incredibly powerful that we can overcome even the most earth-shattering obstacles. We just have to release control of the unknown and that's when the magic happens.
I've struggled with this tremendously and it until my dog was recently diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer, I've really had to get a grip.
My dog is my child. I've spent almost every single day and night of the past 11 years with him. I bring him literally everywhere, every vacation, holiday, my wedding day, even shopping in NYC. We've been through so much together and the thought of not having him by my side hurts so badly. *tearing up as I write this*
But, I realized I have a choice. I can let it break me or I can let it heal me.
We always have a choice to view things in the light or to view them in the dark no matter what it is.
I believe that we're put here on this planet to expand and the challenges that we face can be viewed as an opportunity for growth or an excuse to remain stagnant.
And it's funny how life works. When I was faced with this dilemma and having to come to terms with the fact that this is completely out of my control, I've changed for the better. It's as if this experience has helped me to surrender to everything and allow life to unfold naturally.
It's a beautiful thing really, to let go, to be unattached. You begin to realize that life is magical and every single thing is happening for us.

A (not very intelligent) GP in the US admitted in an article to Googling his patients' details:
"Doctors do "Google" their patients", writes Dr Warraich.
"In fact, the vast majority of physicians I know have done so. To my generation, using a search engine like Google comes as naturally as sharing pictures of our children or a recent vacation on a social networking site like Facebook. But it surprises me that more physicians don't pause and think about what it means for the patient-doctor relationship."
Searching for information about patients online is ethical as long as the doctor is seeking information that helps treatment, Dr Warraich believes."
So, I hear you ask – 'Is my Vet Googling me too?' The answer is, almost certainly not. First of all, who's got the time? Most Vet I know (myself included) are busy off their feet with no time to spare. If I had spare time, I could think of many better things to do with it.
Secondly, the kind of information available on the Web is absolutely useless for us Vets. Knowing that your favorite color is Purple and you like Jane Austen's novels doesn't help me cure your dog's diarrhea. At any rate, I am much more interested in your pet then I am in you. That's why I remember my patients' names much better then their owners' surnames.
The other day a famous football player walked in to get his dog's anal glands squeezed and I was so busy talking about vaccinations I didn't even recognize him until he left the building. And No, I am not telling you who he is – it's called patient confidentiality. But his dog does need to have a bath. Just don't tell anyone I told you that.

Estimation and propagation of volcanic source parameter uncertainty in an ash transport and dispersal model: application to the Eyjafjallajokull plume of 14.16 April 2010
Marcus Bursik, Matthew Jones, Simon Carn, Ken Dean, Abani Patra, Michael Pavolonis, E. Bruce Pitman, Tarunraj Singh, Puneet Singla, Peter Webley, Halldor Bjornsson, and Maurizio Ripepe
Bulletin of Volcanology ().
Data on source conditions for the 14 April 2010 paroxysmal phase of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption, Iceland, have been used as inputs to a trajectory-based eruption column model, bent. This model has in turn been adapted to generate output suitable as input to the volcanic ash transport and dispersal model, puff, which was used to propagate the paroxysmal ash cloud toward and over Europe over the following days. Some of the source parameters, specifically vent radius, vent source velocity, mean grain size of ejecta, and standard deviation of ejecta grain size have been assigned probability distributions based on our lack of knowledge of exact conditions at the source. These probability distributions for the input variables have been sampled in a Monte Carlo fashion using a technique that yields what we herein call the polynomial chaos quadrature weighted estimate (PCQWE) of output parameters from the ash transport and dispersal model. The advantage of PCQWE over Monte Carlo is that since it intelligently samples the input parameter space, fewer model runs are needed to yield estimates of moments and probabilities for the output variables. At each of these sample points for the input variables, a model run is performed. Output moments and probabilities are then computed by properly summing the weighted values of the output parameters of interest. Use of a computational eruption column model coupled with known weather conditions as given by radiosonde data gathered near the vent allows us to estimate that initial mass eruption rate on 14 April 2010 may have been as high as 108.kg/s and was almost certainly above 107.kg/s. This estimate is consistent with the probabilistic envelope computed by PCQWE for the downwind plume. The results furthermore show that statistical moments and probabilities can be computed in a reasonable time by using 94.=.6,561 PCQWE model runs as opposed to millions of model runs that might be required by standard Monte Carlo techniques. The output mean ash cloud height plus three standard deviations.encompassing c. 99.7 % of the probability mass.compares well with four-dimensional ash cloud position as retrieved from Meteosat-9 SEVIRI data for 16 April 2010 as the ash cloud drifted over north-central Europe. Finally, the ability to compute statistical moments and probabilities may allow for the better separation of science and decision-making, by making it possible for scientists to better focus on error reduction and decision makers to focus on .drawing the line. for risk assessment.

Review: Garmin Panoptix marine electronics
Garmin Panoptix marine electronics reveal the mysteries of the deep in three-dimensional glorious colour.
Motoring along at trolling speed with the 3D Garmin Panoptix display gleaming before me, I laugh to myself at the thought of what smart sonar could have done for my commercial fishing career all those years ago.
My uncle taught me all the marks, or 'meezes' as we called them, along the Pentland Firth coast of Scotland so that we could find the cod, ling, whiting and haddock that was our main quarry when hand-lining. Getting to the marks took an effort as tides, wind and of course no GPS meant there was a fair bit of navigation to do and then staying on the mark was another job.
While on top of the mark we knew little about the bottom where the cod dwelt and of course we could not see the shoals of pelagic fish above them, so it was experience, guesswork and luck that we relied on.
Garmin Panoptix
Fast forward to today and the installation of the new Garmin Panoptix screen and these mysteries are resolved in three-dimensional colour.
Using the touchscreen on the GPSMAP 7410, I switched between LiveVü Forward and RealVü 3D Forward, the latter creating live video that updates about every five seconds depending on the depth. The only obvious limitation is maybe deep sea as the range is quoted as 300ft (92m).
The launch product is offered with two different transducers: the rectangular Panoptix forward-facing model (PS31) for mounting vertically at the transom or on the trolling motor, or the Down Transducer (PS30) – but there's no through-hull option yet.
Our Australian-designed Noble 720 aluminium hull coped well with the chop on the first day out, as did the Garmin Panoptix thanks to its inbuilt pitch-and-roll protection – even though it slowed the update speeds.
These Chinese-built Noble boats feel solid and sturdily built. The tall hull has a fairly steep deadrise so cuts through the chop, while the alloy construction softened the ride nicely on our bumpy first day. Power delivery was smooth and plentiful from the 225hp Suzuki as well.
For the second day, in calm conditions, I increased the trolling speed and watched the screen update itself pretty quickly to reveal a 60-degree wide bottom swath and fish throughout the 15m depths. The colour coding of fish and other objects, including your own fishing line (I was told), is another great feature of Panoptix which looks to be real competition for Simrad ForwardScan.
Retrofitting the software can be done to Garmin's 7-inch series as well. Also, a useful feature that my host for the day Garmin's Kai Oberhoff pointed out to me, was the Shadow Drive feature on the Garmin GPSMAP 7410 that allows you to temporarily override the autopilot for a quick turn of the wheel, before resuming pilot duties.
Garmin Panoptix price
To give you an indicator of the Garmin Panoptix price, I see that online store Johnny Appleseed is selling the Garmin Panoptix for $2399 with the PS31 transducer.

EDGE is a nationally recognized Catholic middle school (youth in grades six, seven, and eight) ministry aimed to present the truths of the Catholic faith in a hands-on and relevant format. The format of EDGE is designed to meet the spiritual, physical, emotional, educational, and social needs of our middle school youth. EDGE Nights allow youth to learn about their faith through talks, skits, videos, small group discussions and sharing what they know with their friends.
Why is EDGE Important?
The middle school years are about change and transition. As they grow and develop, middle school youth begin to experience a desire for independence and are both excited and scared at how their world is changing. Research indicates that positive, supportive relationships with adults/mentors can be a very positive and rewarding experience for youth at this age. The EDGE Ministry provides this experience for our middle school youth. Click here to view our policies on EDGE and Parent Guidelines.
Goals of EDGE:
- To foster a transforming spiritual experience of Jesus through the liturgy which will allow middle school youth to experience the Word of God and the Eucharist in a more profound way;
- To assist middle school youth in gaining an understanding and appreciation of what the Catholic Church teaches and believes;
- To incorporate the Catholic Church's vision of social justice and peace into the spiritual lives of middle school youth;
- To develop an understanding in middle school youth that they are a vital presence within the parish community; and
- To enter into and transform the culture and lives of middle school youth with the Good News of Jesus Christ and His Church.

The Irish model sticks up for herself after receiving some ridiculous messages on Instagram...
Vogue Williams has become the most recent star to fall victim to cruel social media comments – but she isn't about to take it lying down.
After model Gigi Hadid stood up to internet trolls who criticised her swimwear shots and TOWIE's Jess Wright hit back at her own bikini body shamers, we hoped everyone would FINALLY be able to enjoy the rest of their summer in peace.
See: Vicky Pattison Supports Jess Wright Over *That* Bikini Video
Unfortunately not, as Vogue was next to be mocked about her weight, while enjoying a holiday in Cyprus.
Again? Aside from the fact the 30-year-old clearly looks incredible in a bikini, NOBODY should have to deal with internet trolling.
But luckily, Vogue was on hand to take down the vile bullies with a simple truth bomb. Boom.
She reacted by posting another fierce snap of herself on Instagram, along with the epic caption: 'This one is for everyone who made ridiculous comments about my weight yesterday.
'Regardless of if I'm a size 6 or 26 it's nobody's business and nobody has the right to body shame me or anyone else. I'm 5'11 a size 8/10, 64kgs and 17% body fat, that's my healthy weight and I'm not changing it for anyone.
'It's no wonder so many people suffer with body image issues. Be careful with your words because next time you may get someone that is not as strong as me. Better still if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.'
See: This Campaign Could Be The End Of Body Shaming
Of course, people swarmed to support her, with one fan commenting: 'So true! you are strong and healthy and a great role model keep up the good work. Your exercise videos are unreal you work hard.'
Another congratulated Vogue, writing: 'Fair play to you – you should be proud (so proud) of what you are. You are amazing, but you are right – size doesn't matter – you are perfect the way you are X.'
We think it's a shame that Vogue had to defend her incredible body at all, but massive high five to the star for sticking up for herself and other women.

Tonight while I was giving the kids a bath, Ruby asked me to take their picture. They were both so smiley and cooperative!! Why is it that they both decide to cooperate and let me take their picture when they're completely naked? Maybe this is the beginning of a new phase in picture taking and I'll start to get lots of shots of 2 happy smiling faces. Yippee!!

"The Vital Back Cove Ecosystem will be Protected from Pollution for Future Generations to Come."
The City of Portland, Maine is known for its booming arts and culture scene, historical seaport and famous seaside beauty. But for years both Portland residents and wildlife have been plagued by an increased amount of Combined Sewer Overflows along the shore of the Back Cove estuary basin. Heavy rainfall events have led to a tremendous undertaking by the combined sewer system to transport stormwater and untreated sewage to the East End Wastewater Treatment Plant, ultimately failing. This chronic issue has garnered increased concern from city officials for the health and well being of Portland residents, wildlife and the entirety of the Back Cove ecosystem.
Therefore, the City of Portland commissioned one of several contracts to remedy the issue by separating the combined sewer system into a dedicated sanitary sewer and storm drain. D & C Construction Company and engineering firm Sebago Technics were contracted to build the system along Woodford Street. The project plans included anew storm drain outfall for Back Cove at the intersection of Vannah Ave and Baxter Blvd and the installation of a Nutrient Separating Baffle Box® along with sidewalks. The Woodford Street Sewer Separation Project ensures improved water quality by minimizing CSO's and being proactive to filter runoff flowing into Back Cove via the NSBB™. Overall, human and wildlife health will improve upon completion and the vital Back Cove ecosystem will be protected from pollution for years to come.
Revitalizing the Ground Work
The Woodford Street Sewer Separation Project broke ground on March, 27 2017. The city's contractor, D&C Construction, started its installation of a new storm drain at the intersection of Woodford Street and Clifton Street. Simultaneously beginning on March, 28 2017, crews started work on Woodford Street between Forrest Ave and Vannah Ave continuing for several months. During this time D & C Construction installed new sewer and storm drain lines in addition to the installation of a new 84" storm drain outfall into Back Cove estuary at the intersection of Vannah Ave and Baxter Blvd. The new storm drain outfall includes a riprap apron along with a backflow prevention system to stop high tide events from entering the system, potentially damaging the Woodford Street NSBB™ treatment unit.
Woodford Street NSBB™ will Avert Potential Pollution
Direct treatment of the stormwater in the Woodford Street line is now filtered via an NSBB™ which was installed on July, 7 2017. The Suntree Technologies Inc® NSBB™ is a hydrodynamic separator specializing in online sediment capture without the typical associated headloss and sediment scouring. It's patented lidded screens prevent nutrient leaching and water from turning septic from trash and debris. It also includes a SkimBoss® floating skimmer which prevents debris from passing through the vault during high flows and a StormBoom™ that absorbs hydrocarbons on contact.
Prior to delivery, Suntree Technologies Inc® personnel were onsite at a Superior Concrete facility to install the NSBB™ internal components including the turbulence deflectors and HydroSlide®. The HydroSlide® is an optional servicing system for the NSBB™ to facilitate sediment removal. The system reduces servicing time by using a vacuum truck to spray water through its pipes loosening sediment to easily vacuum it away. The system does not require confined space entry, effectively saving the city a great deal in upkeep costs. The delivery and installation of the structure took only a day to complete as a joint effort between D & C Construction, Sebago Technics, Superior Concrete LLC and Suntree Technologies. The Woodford Street NSBB™ vastly improves the water quality of runoff flowing in the system and prevents any pollution of trash, sediment and hydrocarbons from reaching Back Cove. Portland's investment in water quality and commitment to reducing Combined Sewer Overflows will result in pollution decline and an overall healthier community.

Lager season is over, and it's time to start busting into some serious ale brewing. I'm excited about this, partly because the whole temperature control thing about lagers is a little stressful, and partly because I did some good stuff last year that I want to improve on, and some stuff I want to try out new. I'm going to try a few different incarnations of my rye beer that I did last year. I feel like that was a really good first effort, and could turn into a sort of always on tap haus beer type of thing. I'd like to redden the color a little, and see what sort of interesting things I can do with it, while still letting the rye drive the flavor.
But first on the docket was to do a barleywine. I used a White Labs ale yeast most of last year, and while it did some good beers, it also pooped out on the last few, which led to some tremendously over carbonated stouts, and some spectacular Brown Ale bottle bombs. I decided to use Wyeast 1056 American Ale to do a few right off the bat, and since I didn't have much carboy space, I decided to do a one gallon batch, and start repitching the yeast cake. I haven't done a barleywine before, partly due to the smallness of my MLT, so a one gallon was perfect. I would only need to mash a few pounds of grain, so I could make it as thin of a mash as I wanted. Here it is:
One Gallon Christmas Barleywine-
2 Row Pale Malt (organic)- 3 lbs
Crystal 60- 4 ounces
Cascade- .5 ounces- 90 minutes
Cascade- .5 ounces- Knockout
Wyeast 1056 American Ale- Pitched straight from the smack pack
152- infusion
Gravity Target/Actual
The general idea behind this was to do a pretty big, super hoppy American style Barleywine, ferment it in a one gallon jug, decant it to two separate growlers after the primary fermentation, and then bottle in a few months. I'm thinking I'll bottle it in some Duvel bottles, as they are such a heavy gauge, and will easily hold the pressure if the carbonation gets too much in the coming months. I'll let it sit til Christmas, and then hand it out to family and friends.
The gravity came out low because I had not really done a one gallon batch in the stockpot I used, so it was a little difficult to know how long I could boil to get the evaporation that I was looking for. I collecting two gallons, and boiling for almost two hours, and ended up with a little over one gallon. I probably could have gone a little longer, since my last hop addition was going to be at knockout, and then I could have topped up the fermenter if I needed any volume. Brew and learn, I guess. It should still be real interesting as I boiled it pretty hot for so long. There was little in the way of character malts, so most of the color will come from the caramelized sugars. The Cascades should explode in aroma when these get poured. I was literally able to take it from knockout to pitching temps in 8 minutes, so the aroma addition will be real fresh.
Note to self: anytime you do a really big beer in a one gallon jug, add a blow off tube. The initial fermentation was positively volcanic. Awesome, but messy. It was pumping out some fantastic Cascade aromas too.

Need help remembering title of regency romance
I am trying to replace as many paperbacks as possible with its electronic version. Recently I remembered a book I would like to find again (it's somewhere on a shelf). Here it goes:
A young woman is escaping her stepfather, she is at an inn where she is compromised by our hero who just left the army. Innkeeper takes on a father role and forces them to marry. Heroine is actually a heiress but at the time the hero believes she trapped him. His only relative is an aunt who wants him to go into politics and consequently she wants a woman of substance for him. Once the heroine tells her about her inheritance I believe the aunt is trying to help her. There is also a brother who is still in school and is the real heir to the home the stepfather rules. Hero takes to the younger man because he remembers his own time at that particular school.
Stepfather kidnaps heroine. I believe there was a smexual understone as to why the stepfather wants her home, not only because he had defrauded some or all of the inheritance.
Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

Two months left before leaving for Belgium. Two months left enjoying the native (though polluted) air and food, food, food. Home-cooked meals, Jollibee's Chickenjoy, suman and other kakanin (sticky rice-based snacks).
If there's one thing I will miss a lot when I leave home, it's the kakanin. So I might as well write for my first post about a specific kakanin—a little-known treat called tamal (pl. tamales).
A Mexican-Pinoy connection?
I guess you're all familiar with the word tamales (i.e., as used in the expression "hot tamales!"). Mexican in origin, tamal is a savory dish made from cornmeal stuffed with (usually) meat and spices, wrapped with corn husk then steamed until firm.
The Pinoy version of the tamal, however, uses ground rice and coconut milk instead of cornmeal and is wrapped in banana leaves. For the stuffing, it varies from province to province—from plain or "flat" (i.e., no stuffing) to literally bursting with all kinds of meats.
The particular variety of tamal I prefer is from my mother's hometown, Zamboanga City. Filipino old-timers claim that the Zamboangeño version is closest to the original Mexican tamal in taste. Not surprising—Zamboanga after all used to be a Spanish garrison town in the Southern Philippines and still has (with much effort despite the bombings and terrorist attacks) preserved its Hispanic character. This one, though, is stuffed with glass noodles (vermicelli or bean) cooked as camaron rebosado (i.e., with sautéed shrimp and seasonings, plus a hint of chili, if lucky).
As was stated before, this version of tamal is closest to the original Mexican in taste, but the ingredients are very much local. Vermicelli noodles are commonly used in Chinese-Filipino cooking (sotanghon, anyone?) while fresh shrimps (and other seafoods) are most abundant (and best tasting, IMHO) in Zamboanga.
In other words, we have a fusion dish in this post—local ingredients gone Mexican. Not that spicy, though, and no beans.
How to eat (but not to make)
It's easy—if it's freshly made, simply unwrap its banana leaf cover and take a bite. Its texture is creamy-soft and not so sticky because of the coconut milk used to form the rice dough—coconut milk, when heated, releases its oil which lubricates the dough and enhances the flavor of the stuffing, which permeates through the rice-oil matrix. Or dough.
[A word of warning: this tamal spoils easily in Philippine "room temperature" (which averages at roughly 30 deg C) due to the coconut milk. If stored properly in the refrigerator, it can last for 4-5 days—just steam a bundle for 3 minutes before eating.]
How this snack is made is something I do not exactly know. According to Zamboangeños like my mom and relatives, tamales are closely-guarded family recipes which are handed down from generation to generation (our family doesn't know how to make them, sadly). And the art of making these tasty (and un-sweet) kakanin is slowly dying out. The batch of tamales I got in Zamboanga last May was from the same market stall my mom and aunts bought theirs when they were young and single. So much for continuity.
A personal memory of my roots
When I get homesick, I will remember the last time I ate tamales, the tamales I know, that my family knows, that everybody young and old knows. Because by remembering the taste, I can remember my history. Adobo may be a pan-Pinoy dish (which I will make when I am already there in Belgium, and another subject I will write about two months from now) that I can identify with, but the tamal is a personal stamp of my identity, a salute to my regional roots, of mixed indigenous and Hispanic cultures. Which is essentially Pinoy, after all.
For the Mexican tamales:

|prev page next page
7. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES JOHNII. The Malabar Langur (Jerdon's No. 4).
HABITAT.—The Malabar Coast, from N. Lat. 14° or 15° to Cape Comorin.
DESCRIPTION.—Above dusky brown, slightly paling on the sides; crown, occiput, sides of head and beard fulvous, darkest on the crown; limbs and tail dark brown, almost black; beneath yellowish white.—Jerdon.
SIZE.—Not quite so large as P. entellus.
This monkey was named after a member of the Danish factory at Tranquebar, M. John, who first described it. It abounds in forests, and does not frequent villages, though it will visit gardens and fields, where, however, it shuns observation.
The young are of a sooty brown, or nearly black, without any indication of the light-coloured hood of the adult.
8. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES JUBATUS. The Nilgheri Langur (Jerdon's No. 5).
HABITAT.—The Nilgheri Hills (Nilgiri Hills), the Animallies, Pulneys, the Wynaad, and all the higher parts of the range of the Ghâts as low as Travancore.
DESCRIPTION.—Dark glossy black throughout, except head and nape, which are reddish brown; hair very long; in old individuals a greyish patch on the rump.—Jerdon.
SIZE.—Length of head and body, 26 inches; tail, 30.
This monkey does not, as a rule, descend lower than 2,500 to 3,000 feet; it is shy and wary. The fur is fine and glossy, and is much prized (Jerdon). Its flesh is excellent food for dogs (McMaster).
Dr. Anderson makes this synonymous with the last.
9. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES PILEATUS. The Capped Langur.
HABITAT.—Assam, Chittagong, Tipperah.
DESCRIPTION.—General colour dark ashy grey, with a slight ferruginous tint; darker near head and on shoulders; underneath and on the inside of the limbs pale yellowish, with a darker shade of orange or golden yellow on the breast and belly. The crown of the head is densely covered with bristly hairs, regularly disposed and somewhat elongated on the vertex so as to resemble a cap, whence the name. Along the forehead is a superciliary crest of long black bristles, directed outwardly; whiskers full and down to the chin: behind the ears is a small tuft of white hairs; the tail is long, one third longer than the body, darker near the end, and tufted; fingers and toes black.
SIZE.—A little smaller than P. entellus.
This monkey is found in Northern Assam, Tipperah and southwards to Tenasserim; in Blyth's 'Catalogue of the Mammals of Burmah' it is mentioned as P. chrysogaster (Semnopithecus potenziani of Bonaparte and Peters). He writes of it: "Females and young have the lower parts white, or but faintly tinted with ferruginous, and the rest of the coat is of a pure grey; the face black, and there is no crest, but the hairs of the crown are so disposed as to appear like a small flat cap laid upon the top of the head. The old males seem always to be of a deep rust-colour on the cheeks, lower parts, and more or less on the outer side of the limbs; while in old females this rust colour is diluted or little more than indicated."
Dr. Anderson says that a young one he had was of a mild disposition, which however is not the character of the adult animal, which is uncertain, and the males when irritated are fierce, and determined in attack. No rule, however, is without its exception, for one adult male, possessed by Blyth, is reported as having been an exceeding gentle animal.
10. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES BARBEI. The Tipperah Langur.
HABITAT.—Tipperah, Tenasserim.
DESCRIPTION.—No vertical crest of hair on the head, nor is the occipital hair directed downwards, as in the next species. Shoulders and outside of arm silvered; tail slightly paler than body, "which is of a blackish fuliginous hue."
More information is required about this monkey, which was named by Blyth after its donor to the Asiatic Society, the Rev. J. Barbe. Blyth considered it as distinct from P. Phayrei and P. obscurus, which last is from Malacca.
Dr. Anderson noticed it in the valley of the Tapeng in the centre of the Kakhyen Hills, in troops of thirty to fifty, in high forest trees overhanging the mountain streams. Being seldom disturbed, they permitted a near approach.
11. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES PHAYREI. Syn.—SEMNOPITHECUS CRISTATUS. The Silvery-Leaf Monkey (Blyth).
HABITAT.—Arracan, Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo.
DESCRIPTION.-Colour dusky grey-brown above, more or less dark, with black hands and feet; a conspicuous crest on the vertex; under parts white, scarcely extending to the inside of the limbs; sides grey like the back; whiskers dark, very long, concealing the ears in front; lips and eyelids conspicuously white, with white moustachial hairs above and similar hairs below.
SIZE.—Two feet; tail, 2 feet 6 inches.
This monkey was named by Blyth after Captain (now Sir Arthur) Phayre, who first brought it to his notice; but he afterwards reconciled it as being synonymous with Semnopithecus cristatus. The colouring, according to different authors, seems to vary considerably, which causes some confusion in description. It differs from an allied species, S. maurus, in selecting low marshy situations near the banks of streams. Its favourite food is the fruit of the Nibong palm (Oncosperma filamentosa).
12. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES OBSCURUS. The Dusky-Leaf Monkey.
HABITAT.—Mergui and the Malayan Peninsula.
DESCRIPTION.—Adults ashy or brownish black, darker on forehead, sides of face, shoulder, and sides of body; the hair on the nape is lengthened and whitish. The newly-born young are of a golden ferruginous colour, which afterward changes to dusky-ash colour, the terminal half of the tail being last to change; the mouth and eyelids are whitish, but the rest of the face black.
SIZE.—Body, 1 foot 9 inches; tail, 2 feet 8 inches.
This monkey is most common in the Malayan Peninsula, but has been found to extend to Mergui, where Blyth states it was procured by the late Major Berdmore. Dr. Anderson says it is not unfrequently offered for sale in the Singapore market.
13. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES CEPHALOPTERUS. The Ceylon Langur.
NATIVE NAME.—Kallu Wanderu.
HABITAT.—The low lands of Ceylon.
DESCRIPTION.—General colour cinereous black; croup and inside of thighs whitish; head rufescent brown; hair on crown short, semi-erect; occipital hairs long, albescent; whiskers white, thick and long, terminating at the chin in a short beard, and laterally angularly pointed; upper lip thinly fringed with white hairs; superciliary hairs black, long, stiff and standing erect; tail albescent and terminating in a beard tuft; face, palms, soles, fingers, toes and callosities black; irides brown.—Kellaart.
SIZE.—Length, 20 inches; tail 24 inches.
Sir E. Tennent says of this monkey that it is never found at a higher elevation than 1,300 feet (when it is replaced by the next species).
"It is an active and intelligent creature, little larger than the common bonneted macaque, and far from being so mischievous as others of the monkeys in the island. In captivity it is remarkable for the gravity of its demeanour and for an air of melancholy in its expression and movements, which are completely in character with its snowy beard and venerable aspect. In disposition it is gentle and confiding, sensible in the highest degree of kindness, and eager for endearing attention, uttering a low plaintive cry when its sympathies are excited. It is particularly cleanly in its habits when domesticated, and spends much of its time in trimming its fur and carefully divesting its hair of particles of dust. Those which I kept at my house near Colombo were chiefly fed upon plantains and bananas, but for nothing did they evince a greater partiality than the rose-coloured flowers of the red hibiscus (H. rosa sinensis). These they devoured with unequivocal gusto; they likewise relished the leaves of many other trees, and even the bark of a few of the more succulent ones."
14. SEMNOPITHECUS vel PRESBYTES URSINUS. The Great Wanderu.
NATIVE NAME.—Maha Wanderu.
HABITAT.—The mountainous district of Ceylon.
DESCRIPTION.—Fur long, almost uniformly greyish black; whiskers full and white; occiput and croup in old specimens paler coloured; hands and feet blackish; tail long, getting lighter towards the lower half. The young and adults under middle age have a rufous tint, corresponding with that of the head of all ages.
SIZE.—Body about 22 inches; tail, 26 inches.
The name Wanderu is a corruption of the Singhalese generic word for monkey, Ouandura, or Wandura, which bears a striking resemblance to the Hindi Bandra, commonly called Bandar—b and v being interchangeable—and is evidently derived from the Sanscrit Banur, which in the south again becomes Wanur, and further south, in Ceylon, Wandura. There has been a certain amount of confusion between this animal and Inuus silenus, the lion monkey, which had the name Wanderu applied to it by Buffon, and it is so figured in Cuvier. They are both large monkeys, with great beards of light coloured hair, but in no other respect do they resemble. Sir Emerson Tennent says: "It is rarely seen by Europeans, this portion of the country having till very recently been but partially opened; and even now it is difficult to observe its habits, as it seldom approaches the few roads which wind through these deep solitudes. At early morning, ere the day begins to dawn, its loud and peculiar howl, which consists of quick repetition of the sound how-how! may be frequently heard in the mountain jungles, and forms one of the characteristic noises of these lofty situations." This was written in 1861; since then much of the mountainous forest land has been cleared for coffee-planting, and the Wanderu either driven into corners or become more familiarised with man. More therefore must be known of its habits by this time, and information regarding it is desirable.

Fort Mill Times
Fort Mill ice cream truck driver miffed at arrest
Even though he drives an ice cream truck for a living, Jesse Talton is hot.
Talton, 33, spent the night in jail last week after he says undercover officers with York County's drug unit pulled over his ice cream truck. That was when, he says, he learned that his driver's license was under suspension.
"I'm just an honest guy trying to make a living selling ice cream," Talton said.
Officers who arrested him July 15 were driving an unmarked SUV, Talton said, and they were not wearing police uniforms. The police vehicle pulled in front of the ice cream truck, not behind it, at the stop in Fort Mill near the Waterstone development off S.C. 160. Their identification badges read "narcotics," Talton said.
Talton did not get out of the vehicle initially, he said, because he was not detained or under arrest and told the officers he was "perfectly happy" in his vehicle. Police told him he had no license plate. Talton claimed his proof of insurance and ownership of the truck should have been sufficient.
State officials say any vehicle operated on public streets must have a license plate. The commander of the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit, who supervises the two officers involved, said the traffic stop was handled properly.
Talton's initial refusal to cooperate with the officers and get out of the vehicle led to his arrest on a charge of driving under suspension, instead of simply receiving a ticket and being allowed to leave.
Officers have the authority to decide whether to arrest a person and take him to jail when driving under suspension is the offense, said Marvin Brown, the drug unit commander. Talton did not cooperate with officers, he said, and it is not uncommon for drug agents to pull over in front of vehicles to prevent them from trying to flee.
"These officers did exactly what they are trained to do," Brown said. "They acted exactly as I would have done, and have done, many times."
DMV spokeswoman Jean Smolen confirmed that a vehicle being operated on a public road must have a temporary or permanent license tag. Officers did not cite Talton for not having a license on his vehicle.
Talton said officers violated his constitutional rights against illegal search and seizure and probable cause, a charge police deny. Talton said officers told him he was driving under a suspended license even before he gave them his license to identify himself. How could the police know his license was suspended, he asks, before he gave them identification?
The drug unit officers had received a complaint about the truck, Brown said, and they knew who was driving the truck, so they were able to check his record before pulling him over.
"That also is a legitimate reason to pull him over," Brown said. "The officers knew that the driver did not have a license."
Talton said he had forgotten about the 2013 speeding ticket that led to the suspension of his license.
Court records show Talton was tried in absence last year and found guilty of speeding, for which he has a pending fine of $133. The July 15 driving under suspension arrest is the only South Carolina criminal charge against Talton, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.
After spending almost 12 hours in jail, Talton appeared before a magistrate and was released on a personal recognizance bond of $652.50. His trial date is set for Sept. 18 in Fort Mill magistrate court.
"All I had to do was sign my name, my good name, and that was enough to get out," Talton said.
He has contacted a lawyer, he said, but so far has not hired one.
Talton has "no beef" with police officers, he said, and he knows "they have a job to do." But he is concerned about his reputation as an ice cream vendor driving into neighborhoods filled with parents and children. More, if the stop had been done by a regular patrol car, clearly marked, with officers in uniform, Talton said he would have been more comfortable.
"I make my living off customer service," he said, "and this looks bad."
Without a driver's license, Talton cannot drive the truck until he clears up both the unpaid speeding ticket and the driving under suspension ticket. The cost of both could reach more than $1,000, he said.
Since his arrest, Talton said, he has lost sales for three weekdays and the weekend, when sales usually are more than $300 a day or more.
None of that changes the fact, Brown said, that Talton was illegally driving the ice cream truck with no license tag on a suspended license.
"Bottom line," Brown said, "you can't drive an ice cream truck without a license."

Also I am curious if there are ways to change when the autopay falls or comes out of my account every month??
Hi 93civ
Welcome to T-Mobile. I hope you will enjoy T-Mo's service. To bad things aren't starting out so smoothly. Your first hot line to address billing issues would be to call 611 on your handset. Although you could call 611 24/7; some of the members of this community (myself included), would recommend calling during normal business hours. I would simply wait till Tuesday, call 611 and ask for billing. Fixing a billing glitch like yours should be easy.
Please let us know how you make out.

Happy Friday and welcome to T-Mobile!
I'm sure this isn't the type of "surprise" that you're looking for when joining a new wireless carrier. You're likely on the type of billing cycle that we refer to as "Bill Current" which means the bill you received is for one day of service (the 24th) and the next month of services (May 25th - June 24th). If you take a look at your bill, it should show the dates of service that are included.
Please let me know if that's what you're seeing on your bill so we can get this ironed out for you.

No one has responded to the other specific question...Is there a way to change the date of auto-pay?

In most circumstances, buying a wagon is a sign that you're throwing in the towel on owning a cool car. Instead, you're giving into the whole taking kids to soccer practice and quick trips to the local grocery store type thing. However, it doesn't have to be that way. Especially when you're starting with an already potent BMW 335i Touring that comes stock with a 3.0L inline six-cylinder that's good for 300hp. 300hp is hardly something to hyped about, which is why the owner of this stunning example has drastically upgraded the car to the point that it now churns out a staggering 900hp!
I don't know about you, but a 900hp wagon doesn't sound "responsible" to me, which is probably why this car is so incredibly appealing. Because let's be honest, having a wagon, in general, is not a bad thing. You have all that extra space so you can throw all you gear in the back and have plenty of room for the family or your buddies. And if you add in a 900hp motor to that package, you have yourself quite the multi-purpose car. It also helps to have it look as good as the sinister black example shown here.
The owner of this incredible machine goes by the name Marco and he's spent quite a bit of time and money creating the masterpiece that sits before you. Cosmetically, it's been fitted with an air-ride system that's controllable via his phone so he can raise and lower the car just by the touch of a button. It also has aftermarket wheels and tires, which he constantly has to change out for reasons you'll see shortly. And of course the all black paint job. These things combined help separate the car from all other 335i Touring models while also keeping it classy and not over the top like you would expect to see after knowing it has that much power under the hood.
Speaking of the power, let's get to that because it is what makes this car so appealing. Marco kept the original motor but has done a significant amount of upgrading. The biggest improvement was replacing the twin turbo setup for a single twin-scroll competition turbo that's pumping out over 30 psi of boost. The upgrades don't end there. He also added a custom manifold and intercooler. And what might be the only thing that can compare with the badassery of the 900hp engine boosted to the max is the custom built downpipe and exhaust system that's also been fitted with cutouts. That exhaust system with the help of the cutouts creates an intoxicating exhaust note that is ridiculously loud. So loud in fact that someone brought out a device reader and when this car is at full revs makes over 121-DB. As a point of comparison, that is almost as loud as a military jet taking off will full afterburner. And sounds almost as good too.
Marco is not afraid to use his spectacular little wagon either. There are quite a few videos where he's bouncing it off the rev-limiter as he's laying down burnouts that would make even the Aussie's proud. He even lines it up in the occasional drag race to show off the 900 horses under the hood. I think there is something so cool and appealing about having a car that you can load up all your friends or family, and still having the confidence of knowing that you could line up next to just about any car in stock form and smoke it in a light-to-light drag race. And if this is what it means to own a wagon, well sign me up because I would be proud as punch to drive that car literally everywhere.

Eurogamer has posted the results of a recent interview with Peter Molyneux of Lionhead Studios. The focus of the interview is on two upcoming projects: Fable 2 and the project currently known as Dmitri.
Info on Fable 2 is scarce, though Molyneux notes that it takes place 500 years after the original. In typical Molyneux fashion, he also promises that it will contain something that will shock and surprise people, with that something being summed up in one word that he couldn't reveal.
His information on Dmitri was also of like caliber, as he explains that the exciting thing about it can be summed up in one line that he also couldn't reveal:
I would be killed to death if I said anything at all, but I think it's certainly something that if I said the line then we could have a long discussion about it without you actually seeing the game. Which for me always makes the best root of ideas, having that clear, concise idea around something.

On Art and Marketing
An artist will come into the gallery tomorrow. Her work is already on the walls. Snacks for the reception will be lying on the table. Some number of people will come in to see her work. Five, fifty, I don't know.
Before then, we will be in a state of chaos, frantically trying to get everything ready. Cleaning is the hardest, since we both have "stuff" issues. Fortunately, her work preceded her, so we were able to hang it yesterday.
We have a two-room suite, of which one is the gallery, and the other is my tax office/home away from home. The gallery will look good. It already does. The office, well, looks like we live here.
I worry about what impression we will make. I always worry about that. I feel like this little suite is our private world, and I hope lots of people will accept our invitation to come and visit.
There are two local newspapers worth reading for art shows. The big daily will not announce our shows, and we've never been able to figure out why. The alternative weekly is pretty reliable. Fortunately, about as many read the weekly paper as the daily one on Saturday nights.
The number of people depends on that little announcement, a few lines of print that we hope will get their attention. Sometimes they come, sometimes they don't. If the artist is local, she can send out postcards to her own fans. That's not going to happen this time; since the artist is visiting from halfway across the country. So…we may get five people or fifty. No way to guess.
So, what does it take to get people in the door? I have no more idea of what it takes to get people in the door of an art gallery than of what it takes to get people to read my book. Marketing, at least successfully, is as opaque to me as it ever was.

Some of the best senior fitness programs are not held at the gym. In fact, you don't have to leave your house to increase your activity level, improve your strength and flexibility, and support your mobility.
If your doctor is begging you to get off the couch or you're just looking for new ways to stay fit, there are some great at-home workout programs that will help you reach your fitness goals at any age.
Tai Cheng by Beachbody
This is a 90-day program that teaches authentic Tai Chi movements at a slow pace. You can expect to strengthen your muscles, improve your flexibility, and reduce your risk for injuries in daily life while learning one of the most exciting forms of martial arts. This is perfect for seniors who want to immerse themselves in a longer program that allows them to gradually improve on basic fitness skills. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can buy Tai Cheng on Amazon without getting tangled up with a Beachbody distributor program.
Eldergym Online Videos & DVDs
This website offers short videos that explain how to do stretches and strength training moves that are safe for senior citizens. The best part is that these videos are free. You can also buy DVDs if you enjoy the instructors and don't want to stream your workouts through a computer, tablet, or another smart device.
Do you want more online workouts that won't cost you a dime? Search for "senior citizen workouts," "chair workouts," and other related terms on YouTube. You'll find a variety of the best senior fitness programs and workouts suitable for senior citizens.
Walk Away the Pounds DVDs
Leslie Sansone is the master of at-home walking, and she has some fun DVDs that will help walkers of all ages get in their steps without leaving their homes. Beginners can choose the one-mile workouts or some of the easy-walk workouts. Seniors starting out with a higher level of fitness can go for brisker walks of two to five miles. Some workout also include light strength training, and the Ultimate Collection even comes with a free exercise band.
Fitness streaming services like Daily Burn and iBodyFit can offer some of the best senior fitness programs, but the workouts aren't typically created just for seniors. Each user must look through the programs to find workouts that may suit their current level of physical fitness. Daily Burn offers yoga and Pilates workouts that are often suitable for beginners and older adults, and there is a beginner's program as well. These are high-quality workouts from high-caliber trainers that are reflective of the classes you might attend at an upscale health club or gym.
Beachbody On Demand is another option because there are hundreds of workouts to choose from, and some of the leading fitness trainers are represented. Their 10-minute workouts and dance-based fitness programs may appeal to many fun-loving senior citizens.
Are you excited to add a little dancing, strength training, or flexibility training into your daily life? Pick up one of these workouts and get in shape without leaving your home.

Consolidation of OpenStack vendors has long seemed inevitable due to the project's complexity and difficulty of implementation compared to turnkey private and hybrid cloud solutions. From 2011 to 2013, venture capital poured into OpenStack startups to the tune of nearly $2 billion. Piston, Nicira and Cloudscaling were just a few of the companies that benefited from strong VC interest. But with the recently announced shutdown of Nebula, the market seems to have come down sharply from those highs.
OpenStack center of gravity shifting to legacy vendors
To be clear, OpenStack is not dying. Instead, it is becoming central to the strategy of incumbents like VMware, which made waves with its introduction of VMware Integrated OpenStack last year and the inclusion of this OpenStack distribution into its vCloud for NFV platform for telcos. By getting in on the OpenStack game, industry heavyweights are either acquiring or forcing out smaller competitors.
"The big fish have entered the pond making it harder for the remaining smaller 'OpenStack generalists' to compete," Tesora CEO Ken Rugg told TechCrunch. "Red Hat, HP, IBM, Oracle EMC and VMware are all investing huge dollars into their distributions so it's hard to see how a company like Nebula can compete."
"OpenStack is not dying."
OpenStack will remain important to private and hybrid cloud deployments. Moreover, there is significant opportunity ahead for its usage in both the enterprise and service provider markets. Going forward, turnkey solutions as well as cloud management platforms like QualiSystems CloudShell, will be essential for making OpenStack worthwhile, by bridging the gap between legacy and cloud infrastructure and ensuring consistent automation.
OpenStack past, present and future
The traditional issues surrounding OpenStack are well known. Difficulty of migration, general complexity and confusion around its Amazon Web Services interoperability have slowed its adoption across the board ever since its 2010 launch.
Currently, OpenStack is receiving fresh attention from big vendors eager to simplify OpenStack uptake. In VMware's case, an OpenStack distribution is being used as something of an on-ramp to NFV in the cloud for telcos. Rather than a highly specific feature for OpenStack - like Nebula's bespoke hardware controller - VMware is offering an entire familiar environment in which to shift network functions to the cloud.
Turnkey solutions like this one and the others from HP et al appear to be the future of commercial OpenStack. A recent piece in Wikibon Premium by Steve Chambers outlined two broad opportunities for OpenStack products on the horizon:
Ultimately, it seems that vanilla OpenStack may have always been overrated as both a market trend and a solution for building cloud infrastructure stacks. Integrated solutions that remove the difficulties of setup and facilitate smoother transitions from legacy to cloud will likely be much more successful, even if that translates into a greater possibility of vendor lock in.
OpenStack's complexity was naturally going to be an issue for already complicated environments beholden to legacy infrastructure such as dedicated servers. A DIY approach to OpenStack was and remains an overly risky strategy for evolving infrastructure. Risk must be mitigated through a cloud management platform like CloudShell, so that applications can be safely migrated to private and hybrid cloud environments.
The takeaway: OpenStack solution consolidation is under way as established vendors enter the market. This trend reflects how OpenStack is becoming most valuable as part of turnkey offerings rather than as vanilla OpenStack. Look for more acquisitions and OpenStack plays from legacy vendors, as well as increased use of cloud platforms by customers to handle their evolving environments.

Photograph by an unknown photographer taken in the 1870s, part of the Dunlop Smith Collection: Sir Charles Aitchison Album of Views in India and Burma. View looking over buildings and a garden toward palm trees beyond, probably showing the premises of the Camperdown Pressing Company which was the agency in Calcutta for Cox Brothers of Dundee, Scotland. The business was active as a jute-pressing concern in Cossipore from the early 1870s. Cox Brothers were jute and hemp spinners and manufacturers, who produced yarn, ropes, twine, bags, sacks, hessian and tarpaulin.

Jazz is About the Swing. If it does not swing it isn't Jazz. When you hear it live, the rhythm and beat will stay with you forever. I started this company to perpetuate the music by bringing the Swing live to as many people as possible. I am sure that when they hear it they will feel the same as I do "About the Swing". There are some great people joining me in this effort who at the very least will produce some great sets by some of Jazz's greatest musicians.

Man, I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning. The alarm went off at 5:10, and I spent the next 15 minutes trying to rationalize why staying in bed until 6 would be a better option than getting up and working out. Thank God I couldn't find a valid reason, so I got up and did the 30 day shred. Felt amazing less than 5 minutes in, but I'm sure I'll have the same conversation with myself again in the morning.
I decided to stray from the usual smoothie for breakfast and went with a bowl of Special K red berries, unsweetened original almond milk, a sliced banana, and tablespoon of chia seed.
Question for you.
Steph and I went to a shoe store not too long ago to have our gaits evaluated. Turns out, I'm a pronator. I tried on various pairs of guidance shoes, and ended up going with the Brooks Ravenna 3. I like them, they're comfy! Problem is, when I wear them, my right foot falls asleep. I've been wondering if lacing them differently would help and need your advice!
What are your favorite running shoes? Do you lace them traditionally?

Most likely you are visiting this website because you were issued a summons to appear in Court.
What to do?
Look carefully at the ticket and look for the date you are to appear in Court and the location of the Court
for example: May 10, 346 Broadway, 9:30 am (Manhattan)
you can check the Court System Computer to confirm the date at nycourts.gov (see instruction on the
bottom left of the home page of this website.)
You must appear in Court that day. If you do not appear, you will be considered in default and if the
ticket was issued to an individual, an arrest warrant will be issued.
Consequences: if an arrest warrant is outstanding, and if the police pull you over for an alleged traffic violation or
run your plates through a "plate scan" you will most likely be arrested. This will become incredibly expensive and time consuming and is completely avoidable. You will also need an attorney to go to Court and ask the Court to vacate the
default or pay the outstanding fine.
What if I cannot appear on that date?
You must take responsibilty by either going to the Clerk's office in person and informing
them of the problem in advance of the Court date, or hire an attorney and discuss your options.
Waiting until later or ignoring the problem is a catastrophic strategy.
Please note that you only have hired an attorney once there is an agreement that you will
be represented, what the representation consists of, and what the cost of that representation will be.
If you are uncertain, please ask as many questions as you need to clarify the situation.
If the summons was issued to a Corporation, you must hire an attorney to represent the
corporation in any Court proceeding. If you appear in person on behalf of a corporation and you
are the President or an employee, the Court will inform you that you must obtain private counsel
and to appear on a future date. At this point, please note the date of the next Court appearance
and immediately contact an attorney to represent the corporation. Make sure that the corporation
and the attorney agree to work together and what the fees will be.
Proof of Repair
If you need to repair your vehicle, have it repaired within 24 hours and obtain proof to show to the Court.

Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman (Richard Jenkins). Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Heard), the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart). Sanderson is one of a growing number of American entrepreneurs who are determined to convert Puerto Rico into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen's financial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down.
Based on the debut novel by the infamous Hunter S. Thompson, "The Rum Diary" stars Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart, Richard Jenkins, Michael Rispoli, Giovanni Ribisi and Amaury Nolasco. The film was directed by Bruce Robinson ("Withnail & I").

Guides with previous commercial rafting experience are given preference for hiring. The highest preference is given to guides with previous commercial rafting experience in OAR boats, but guides with previous paddle rafting experience are definitely encouraged to apply.
All first year guides must complete 15 training runs on each section (whitewater section and float section) of the Nenana River as well as pass a check ride and flip trip with senior staff who may at that time approve or disapprove of their skills proficiency. All training time is unpaid. Skills proficiency on the Nenana River must be demonstrated before guides may take guests down the river.
River guides are expected to have up to date certifications in advanced first
aid and river rescue training. At Nenana Raft we prefer the Swiftwater Technician
Class certified by Rescue 3 International. Each year in the spring Nenana Raft
Adventures offers classes allowing candidates to obtain these certifications.
The advanced first aid class is one approved by the State of Alaska's
Division of Emergency Services and is a class leading to Emergency Trauma Technician
(ETT) certification. Nenana Raft's SRT instruction and certification program
is taught by a Rescue 3 International certified instructor. All successful
participants in this class will receive documentation issued by Rescue 3 International
and signed by Nenana Raft's SRT instructor attesting to their successful completion
of the course's requirements. Candidates from the Lower 48 frequently substitute
Wilderness First Responder certification for the ETT certification. Candidates
who select the in-house Nenana Raft training must pay for their ETT and SRT
training. Normally the combined cost of both these classes is just under $500.
Compare this with the $500 course cost of Wilderness First Response training
alone. Nenana Raft makes every attempt to provide its employees with high quality
reasonably priced training.
Some individuals with no previous commercial guiding experience but perhaps having private boating experience may not wish to begin employment with Denali Paddlesports in a support role. These individuals are also invited to apply for raft guide positions. These candidates must pay for all their training, including the above listed Advanced First Aid/Wilderness First Responder and SRT certifications and, additionally, boat handling skill training. The total cost for this training is approximately $1,000; flexible payment terms are available. An invitation to train is just that is just that: an invitation; it is not a guarantee of employment. There is no guarantee that at the end of this training you will be hired although typically more than 3/4 of those who complete the training are offered employment with Nenana Raft. Unfortunately, a few folks with a lot of desire, even after a lot of training, are unable to navigate safely the waters of the Nenana River with a boat load of passengers, and we cannot sacrifice the safety of our guests. We recognize that there is an element of financial risk with such a proposition and we make every effort to be fair in terms of who is invited to participate in these classes. Unlike some companies in the Lower 48, Nenana Raft is not in the guide school business; we are in the raft guiding business. Nevertheless, Nenana Raft has previously hired persons who had considerable private, but no commercial, boating experience. Those individuals who successfully completed their training and were hired by Nenana Raft as river guides all became excellent guides.
Guides must provide their own personal equipment, including drysuit, river
booties or shoes, whistle, knife, carabiners, type V PFD, etc. With respect
to footwear, there is a fair amount of sharp rock on the Nenana River. To prevent
foot injuries, sandals are not allowed to be worn on the job by employees.
Applicants offered a position will be required to sign an employment agreement that normally requires, among other things, a full season of work (unless prior arrangements are made).

Catalus Foot, boy detective, comes complete with magical catsuit and saves his bumbling father and his father's detective agency, while catching the notorious master criminal known as the Bishop. Alan Davidson's delightfully witty mystery about the theft of London's great monuments is made even livelier by Andy Crane's fast-paced narration. On a few occasions, his timing is distracting--the listener has no time to catch a "mental" breath before rushing on to the next thought. However, Crane's artful characterizations make up for this. He captures the personalities of the detectives, the police and the crooks in a manner that matches the pervasive, nonstop humor of the book. J.J.F. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 98]
