In 2014 ArcelorMittal invested US$259m in R&D, in the steels of tomorrow. We operate 12 R&D centres globally and employee 1,300 full time researchers. A third of our R&D resources is dedicated to research for our unique automotive franchise business, with up to 80 new automotive products under development at any one time.
R&D has been at the forefront of industry developments to pioneer advanced high strength steel (AHSS) grades and manufacturing processes that help automotive customers create lighter yet stronger vehicles and meet demanding new targets for fuel economy.
In the past year, we have achieved significant breakthrough with Fortiform®, a new generation of AHSS press-hardenable steels, which combine excellent strength with formability. The first Fortiform® product was launched in 2014 and has been trialled by major automotive customers. Fortiform® is a new range of cold-stamping AHSS steels and can absorb more energy in a crash even though less steel is used.
As car manufactures race to meet the stringent new emissions targets we have focused our R&D efforts on developing steels which possess a very high mechanical strength after hot stamping. Our Usibor® range of hot stamping steels has now been extended with the development of a 2,000MPa grade steel and Usibor® 2000 is now in industrial trials.
Our Ductibor® range was similarly extended with Ductibor® 1000, designed as a complementary product for Usibor® to meet new crashworthiness requirements.
We have demonstrated that a 20% weight saving of the body-in-white can be achieved using existing steel grades, but we are continually improving and pushing the boundaries of what people think is possible. The steel grades that are now in development have the potential to achieve a further 10% reduction in weight for all the parts currently made of dual phase steels.
These advancements are in part made possible through the close working relationships we have with our customers. Our team of dedicated resident engineers bring technical support to our global customers as part of our co-engineering programme. We pride ourselves on these strong working relationships. In July this year, we received a supplier award recognising our commitment to innovation. Presented to our automotive team by PSA Peugeot Citroën the award recognised the introduction of Fortiform® , a family of high-strength steels for cold stamping, which has enabled the carmaker to reuse its existing conventional stamping presses while achieving weight savings of between 10% and 20%.

An article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about a program whose practice—mentioned in the last paragraph of the excerpt—teaches clients to take any job available to get a foothold in the employment world after prison.
This is a crucial strategy for all reentry programs, but unfortunately, too rarely used.
An excerpt.
"Henry Brown made mistakes, and he's worked doubly hard not to repeat them.
"I'm not going to bump my head in the same spot twice," said Brown, who served time on a drug conviction years ago and hasn't been back since.
"Being in those situations is not a vacation. It wasn't for me," he said. "I like my freedom and being able to go where I please."
"But with all of his efforts – even scoring at the top of his machine operation class – Brown has had a hard time finding a job.
"It's a scenario repeated time and again, as former inmates turned job applicants face the often stigmatizing effect of a criminal record made even more difficult during a tough economy.
"When they get out into the job market, a lot of them come up short. They get very frustrated, and that's where we come in to help," said Darryl Johnson, executive director of Riverworks Development Corp., which works one on one with former inmates in an effort to level the playing field.
"Many people have mentors who have guided them through their careers, but these are workers who haven't had that same opportunity," said Johnson, whose organization serves residents living in the Harambee and Riverwest neighborhoods.
"Along with huge doses of encouragement, the organization also provides free job training, employment counseling, work support strategies, coaching in financial literacy and other workforce development opportunities.
"This year, the organization received $40,000 from the United Way of Greater Milwaukee toward its job training and placement program.
"Studies show that people who have received additional, job-specific training make more money per hour than their counterparts," said Nicole Angresano, vice president of community impact with the United Way of Greater Milwaukee. "This program helps people develop the skills to gain and sustain employment and earn enough income to meet daily expenses and basic needs."
"Of the 254 people enrolled in employment counseling, at least 90% have been convicted of a felony at some point, said Vanessa M. White, the organization's director of workforce development.
"Building a work history after they've been away is crucial, even if they have to start at the bottom, she said.
"We teach them to take every little job," White said. "That means accepting some jobs they might feel are associated with a young person, but it is a steppingstone to learn how to deal with people and find out their strengths or weaknesses."

Posted Capital Punishment, Crime, Public Policyin
It is at the very heart of our traditional culture and our traditional faith and it is heartening to read this article in the Washington Post recognizing that.
The case described here is also that which completely meets the definition of "A Special Penalty for Special Cases" the name of the chapter in the new book, Stay of Execution: Saving the Death Penalty from Itself, offering a listing of those crimes which fully deserve capital punishment.
An excerpt from the book.
"Genocidaires and terrorists occupy the top level of a death deserving hierarchy whose next levels should probably be reserved for serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer or those who murder multiple victims in a single criminal act. Depraved individual killings—premeditated murders involving torture, murders of small children, sadistic rape-murders and other deeds that "shock the conscience,"…—also belong on the death-eligible list. And in 28 of the 35 death penalty states, capital offenses include murders that are,… 'especially heinous, atrocious, cruel, or depraved (or involved torture).'" (p. 109)
An excerpt from the Washington Post article.
"We all owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. William Petit who, in his extreme hour of grief, taught us a valuable lesson about the nature of evil, forgiveness, and the problem of suffering.
"No, not what you would expect. In speaking of the man convicted of killing his wife and two daughters, Petit did not deliver an amoral, slobbering speech about forgiving his wife and daughters' murderer and how all suffering teaches us some valuable lesson, enriching us in the process. On the contrary, he said that the murderer deserved his sentence of death and that the loss of his family would leave a gaping hole in his heart that would never close.
"What a relief. Finally someone who does not excuse gross evil, who refuses to forgive monstrous acts of human cruelty, and who says that suffering is not only not redeeming but leaves a permanent wound that never heals.
"The facts of the case are by now well known. On Nov. 8, 2010, Steven Hayes was convicted of murdering Petit's wife Jennifer Hawke-Petit and received the death penalty. The jury found him guilty for his crimes in a horrific home invasion in Cheshire, Connecticut in 2007 that killed Hawke-Petit and her two daughters. Hayes reportedly raped and choked Hawke-Petit to death while his accomplice Joshua Komisarjevsky is accused of sexually assaulting 11-year-old Michaela and her older sister Hayley who were tied to their beds and raped. Gasoline was then poured on all three victims and the house was set on fire. The verdict was unanimous and came on day four of deliberations.
"Tuesday, on the courthouse steps Dr. William Petit, who was savagely beaten in the attack but survived, said this: "We thank the jury for their diligence and consideration. We feel that it was an appropriate verdict. There is some relief, but my family is still gone. It doesn't bring them back. It doesn't bring back the home that we had."

I did not know Stan Musial was Catholic, but remember well what a great ballplayer he was.
This recent story in the American Spectator notes his 90th birthday [November 21, 2010] and he still lives in St. Louis with his wife of 71 years.
An excerpt.
"Happily, the good don't always die young. This Sunday, God willing, Stan "The Man" Musial, who was not only one of baseball's greatest hitters but one of the nicest guys to ever wear cleats, will turn 90. He lives independently with Lillian, his bride of 71 years, in St. Louis where they are beloved.
"The St. Louis Post-Dispatch plans extensive coverage of Stan's 90th this weekend, as well it should. Red Sox Nation and Fenway fanatics may get more coverage nationally. But there are also plenty of savvy baseball fans in St. Louis, home of a venerable and successful franchise in the Cardinals. Stan is remembered and revered here, even though it has been 47 years since Stan ended his career at Busch Stadium with a sharp, RBI single to right Sept. 29, 1963 against Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds.
"Long-time Post-Dispatch baseball writer Rick Hummel, who knows as much about the Cardinals and The Man as anyone, told me that neither of the Musials is suffering from any debilitating ailments. Stan still gets out, he said, though less often than in the past and sometimes with the help of a cane. He even makes it to his natural habitat, the ballpark, from time to time. Good thing. Somebody has to give Albert Pujols hitting tips.
"Everybody here still knows who Stan is," Hummel said. "The fans go nuts every time he appears at the ball park." Few players have the numbers and the gravitas to presume to advise the great Albert on hitting. But Stan certainly does. Between September of 1941 and the end of the 1963 season, with 1945 off in the U.S. Navy, Stan compiled a .331 lifetime batting average on 3,630 hits, including 475 home runs. He drove in 1,951 runs while winning seven batting titles and being chosen as the league's most valuable player three times.
"Musial, not streaky or prone to slumps, was consistent with his gaudy numbers. He hit .336 against right-handers and .323 against lefties. He hit .336 at home and .326 on the road. He had 1,815 hits both at home and on the road.
"Musial put his Hall of Fame career together with a combination of God-given talent, hustle, and considerable baseball smarts. His head was always in the game. With superb coordination, sharp reflexes and eye sight, he made hitting look easy. He was rarely fooled by a pitch. When he was he was usually quick enough to adjust and still hit the pitch….
"Stanislaw Franciszek Musial was born in Donora, Pennsylvania, a small industrial town 30 miles south of Pittsburgh, to Lukasz and Mary Musial. Zinc miner Lukasz was just eight years in America from Poland. Mary was a first-generation Czech-American. Lukasz gave his oldest son the nickname Stashu.
"Baseball fame and success as a restaurateur and real estate investor made Musial a rich man before he was 40, but he never acted the big star. He was always solicitous of others, and treated stars, fans, the club house guy, waitresses, and the scrub player hitting .204 and destined for a career in used car sales just the same, respectfully. Even after he had won three MVP awards his home phone number was still listed in the St. Louis directory.
"For baseball and business reasons Musial moved from Donora to St. Louis. But he didn't leave his home town behind, returning often, including for his high school reunions. He remained Stashu to the people he came up with, who he never abandoned after he became The Man.
"He never abandoned his Catholic faith either. He's regularly attended mass all his life, including on the road as a player. Musial has lived his long life with considerable grace. A class act, we might be tempted to say. But all the evidence shows that Musial's quiet charisma isn't and has never been an act."

Posted Apostolate, Public Policy, Reentryin
I have just perused another of the endless reports criminal justice academics produce examining, and supposedly solving, why criminals continue to commit crimes even after being in prison, but will not burden you with anything it says about how to rehabilitate criminals.
However, what it doesn't say, is that the real issue is personal internal transformation. Rather the report presents a mechanistic world of exploded moving parts that if we can only provide enough services — jobs, housing, counseling, education — all will become aligned and criminals will become community.
Without an internal transformation, all of the services will not help.
Professional career criminals who commit crimes for money and who make up the bulk of people in maximum security prisons, chose to be criminals through an internal decision based on their perception of how the world operates; a perception not far off the mark considering who the prince of the world is.
Our apostolate is based on changing that internal dynamic through the only body of intellectual and spiritual truth capable of combating and defeating worldly truth.

Since it might be a little hard to spot the hubs and me amidst the sea of faces, here's a closer view with arrows and whatnot.
Who would've ever thought that a 16 year-old soon-to-be-junior in high school would end up marrying a 12 year-old who'd just finished his 6th grade year?
God did.
That's who.
I'm getting a little mushy today because hubs and I celebrated 5 years of marriage on Saturday. Our big day was a little eclipsed by Dorothy and a munchkin, but that's what happens when you give birth, twice, right before your anniversary. After the big party, we had a lovely dinner and even went to a show at the theatre where hubs proposed, so it was pretty cool to end up at the very place where he decided, "I totally like it so I'm gonna put a ring on it".
That morning, I got the biggest surprise of all however, when a box arrived via UPS and I had to sign for it. This was inside, and I'm still in shock.
Well done, hubs.
I haven't taken it off yet.
Not once.
And happy anniversary to you. I'm so glad God's plan involved that 16 year-old soon-to-be-junior in high school and that scrawny little just-finished-6th-grade boy. Here's to many more years of fun surprises. And jewelry. I'd be open to that too.

I thought I'd share some of my new fall decorations around the apartment. I found some awesome green and white pumpkins while shopping with my mama-in-law. So cool right! I threw some raffia on them and put them on a tray from Hawaii that I got from my aunt and uncle. My aunt got in when my uncle was stationed in Hawaii when they were first married over 50 years ago!
I also pulled out this wreath from last fall and stuck a new fall candle in it. I haven't even lit the candle yet, but I smell the hazelnut every time I walk by it! Yummy!
And I got some pine-cone and acorn filler that I used to add some texture to my kitchen table centerpiece.
I used most of the pine-cone filler in my new square vase with some mini white pumpkins for a fun fall piece and put it on a shelf that has pretty much been bare since we moved in. Add a stick pumpkin from last year and voila!
I was convinced to buy this little beauty at Hobby Lobby by my mom-in-law. Love, love, love it!
And my fave- the new wreath I made with my mama and sister-in-laws last weekend!
My favorite parts are the blonde peacock feathers!
Oh man, I can't get enough of autumn! It is way too short of a season! What's your favorite thing about fall?

But yes, people are getting hired. Sure, the process takes longer. You have to be better prepared and more active in networking than ever.
But first, think about your past. Pay attention to the good parts. Stop and remember your successes. What have you done at work, at school, in volunteering, in community groups that really made you feel good?
It is your successes that create the pattern for your future success. Doing what you enjoy and you do well is the key to your next job. You need to remember your strengths, your success.
Focus on your successful times: what was going on? What worked? Why did it make you feel good? There are common elements in your successes to help guide you forward. Once you have thought about a number of past successes you can begin to see what is important, so you can succeed elsewhere.
Wander back through your history. Focus on those events that made you feel good -- and write each down. Make each a small story of what the situation or task you faced was, what you did, and what the results were.
Then look at them all - what patterns do you see? What does each story tell you about the places you succeed in or the types of bosses you work best with? These become your guide to the next job targets. Do you work best with data or people or things? Do you achieve more doing the work yourself or managing a team? Think of what your stories say about your strengths.
Why do I think this process is so effective? Because, after decades of managing hiring programs and developing career management programs, I know how important a person's past successes are to that person's future. Whether you plan to do the same work going forward as you have in the past or you are changing your career focus, it is your pattern of success that will create your future.
- The common threads you find in your past provide the guidance you need to identify what you need to succeed.
- A few success stories can be used for a wide range of job search activities, from building a terrific resume to creating a better marketing plan to answering interview questions.
And perhaps most important, when you interview and you can answer a question by telling one of your success stories - you become a far better candidate. This is because your self-confidence shines through. You are talking about real results you have achieved - good for your comfort level and what an employer really cares about. Your body and self-presentation is significantly better without you even being aware of all the changes. The hiring manager or interviewer catches your body language and feels as if you have potential.
Want to know more about how to do this? Here is a video you can learn from.

Bosch Fawstin
Bosch Fawstin is an Eisner Award nominated cartoonist currently working on a graphic novel, The Infidel, of which the first chapter is now available as a digital comic. Bosch's first graphic novel is Table for One. He is also the author of ProPiganda: Drawing the Line Against Jihad, a companion to The Infidel, and the 1st print appearance of Pigman.
Returning to 1967
Obama has gone Old School. Literally. Back in 1967, he was living in Indonesia and attended "Koran class", where a negative attitude towards Jews and Israel was no doubt instilled in him. (See also here.) Today, he "suggested", drawing on the Full power of the office of the President of the United States, that Israel pull back to its 1967 borders. Especially today when we have Facebook groups calling for a massive invasion of Israel tomorrow, Obama's words are particularly inexcusable.
The Jihadist's Candidate
Leave it to Ron Paul to make Obama look like a hawk.
Ron Paul's irrational foreign policy should bury his candidacy in a post- 9/11 world, yet he's still popular among many Americans who are sick of our government's intrusion into the private sector economy and who see his domestic policies as the answers to our troubles, but some even question his soundness in that arena. (the Paul section begins at 4:30 in the video) His constant refrain about the jihadist war being waged on us is, "They're here because we're over there." This tells me that to Ron Paul, no matter what the enemy does to us, including nuking us, we had it coming. We are always to blame according to Ron Paul, and that's why he can't even see the killing of Osama bin Laden as a good thing. Besides everything else that this says about him, it's his absolute indifference to the victims of jihad that condemns him for me. Here's a very good post on Ron Paul.
The Post-American Superhero?
When is the left pleased with a character who's known for fighting for "Truth, Justice & The American Way"? When that character has forsaken that fight. read more…
Puppet Pastor
Before Terror Jones…..there was peace.
Our media and our government are desperately trying to make us believe that an American pastor is somehow responsible for turning otherwise peaceful Muslims into bloodthirsty killers. We are to believe that he is somehow forcing Muslims to riot and to kill when he burns a Koran or when he plans to protest a mosque. This man, Terry Jones, has been called every name in the book by those who never make a peep about the very threat that Jones is trying to warn us about. The latest and absolute greatest outrage in this story is how Jones was jailed this week in Dearborn, Michigan, because of his plans to demonstrate outside the largest Islamic Center in the United States. More on that story here.
It's not Terry Jones who we should worry about. It's our enemy and those who refuse to defeat them, our government.
Obama: The Enemy's Hope
Barack Hussein Obama is the only former Muslim I know of who has nothing but good things to say about Islam, but he waited only until after he became president to speak about his Muslim heritage openly, and he accordingly did so in the first televised interview he gave as president for the Muslim/Arab TV station, Al Aribiyya.
If he only felt about America the way he feels about Islam.
But he doesn't, and so he constantly puts our interests below the interests of our enemy. His latest tribute to Islam is his siding with "the rebels" in Libya, "rebels" who are linked to Al Qaeda. Under Obama, the Muslim world is becoming more Islamic and the enemy is becoming more emboldened, as if it's his job to make it so. Barack Hussein Obama, a man in love with all things Islam, has given our enemy great reason to believe that they can actually achieve their goals, and do so sooner than they even dreamed of. The enemy understands that the one man in all the world who is supposed to be their worst enemy is actually their greatest hope.

Cartoonist Takes on Jihad
This week I released the first chapter of my graphic novel, The Infidel, as a pdf download (which can be read on computers and most eBook readers). The Infidel is my artistic response to the atrocity of 9/11. It is a story about twin brothers Killian Duke and Salaam Duka, whose Muslim background comes crashing to the forefront of their lives on 9/11. Killian responds by creating a comic book featuring a pigskin-clad superhero named Pigman, who takes on Jihad. Salaam's response is full submission to Islam. Pigman's battle against his arch-enemy, SuperJihad, echoes the escalating conflict between the twins.

Meridies Holiday Lodge – Mudeford
Meridies Holiday Lodge is situated on the popular Sandhills Holiday Park in Mudeford. It is available to let for short breaks for 11 months of the year (excluding February) – see availability below.
Meridies Lodge is available to let via Holiday Lettings. Read down to the bottom for a special offer for my blog readers.
Where is Meridies Lodge?
It is situated on plot 116 at the popular Sandhills Holiday Park, Avon Beach, Christchurch BH23 4AL. The park is directly on the seafront at Avon Beach. Some lodges have a sea view but this one is in a slightly shady, much more secluded location with no roads or footpaths alongside it. The decking is part sunny, part shady, so excellent for those who have young children or who like to stay out of the sun sometimes. There is a small glimpse of Christchurch harbour from the deck – both beach and harbour are a few minutes walk away.
The lodge sleeps 6 people – it has one double room with TV, walk in wardrobe and ensuite loo and shower, one twin bedroom and a double sofa bed in the living room. Opposite the twin bedroom is a family bathroom with a bath and second loo and shower.
The kitchen is equipped to a very high standard including
- Gas hob with overhead extractor fan
- Microwave, grill and oven
- Washer/dryer
- Dishwasher
- American style fridge freezer with water dispenser and ice maker
- New for 2018 – Tassimo Coffee machine
Living Room
The living area consits of a 4 seater table and two sofas (one of which is a sofa bed). There is a 48 inch flat screen TV with DVD player. Wifi is available in the lodge for a small fee – free Wifi is also available in the clubhouse area.
At the end of the living room, patio doors open onto the fenced part sunny, part shady deck. There is a 6 seater table and chairs on the deck. there isn't an umbrella as the deck is mostly shady, but if you need one the office will supply one.
Sandhills Holiday Park
Sandhills Holiday Park is a small friendly park situated on Avon Beach in Mudeford. There are just over 100 caravans and lodges – many of which are only used by the owners, so there is a real family atmosphere.
The park has a clubhouse with a bar and cafe (and pool table), there is a small outdoor play area for younger children, a gym for adults only, and two heated outdoor swimming pools which are fenced in with a childproof gate and a lifeguard on duty throughout all opening times. The pool has sunbeds and a view of the sea, the Isle of Wight and the Needles. There is also a small shop and a laundrette on site, but you won't need to use that as you have a washer/dryer in the lodge.
The local area
I could go on and on about the local area – there is just so much to see and do. There are lots of restaurants and attractions which can be reached on foot or via a short ferry journey, and if you bring a car there are literally hundreds of attractions for tourists of all ages and interests within a very short drive.
Avon beach and Mudeford Quay
Sandhills Holiday park is situated right on Avon beach – the promenade passes directly in front of the balconies of the sea view lodges. Avon beach is mostly sandy with beach huts and a fabulous cafe/restaurant called the Noisy Lobster.
If you turn right on the promenade out of Sandhills, you will see the picturesque Mudeford Quay, a beautiful small fishing port, where you can buy fresh fish and also try your hand at crabbing.
From the quayside you can catch the ferry across to Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Sandspit beach, home of the wonderful Beach House Cafe (recommended nachos, burgers and/or mussels). Mudeford Sandspit is a very exclusive beach as there is no vehicular access. It is home to some of the most expensive beach huts in the UK, which don't even have their own internal toilets….
From Hengistbury Head
Once you have taken the 5 minute ferry crossing to Hengistbury Head (see reviews here), you can access another ferry that will take you down towards Christchurch and also to Tuckton Tea Gardens, for Self drive boat hire and crazy golf.
Alternatively you can go on the 10 minute land train journey ( the Noddy train) which will take you through the Hengistbury Head nature reserve until you reach the Hungry Hiker cafe, and the bus stop for the City Sightseeing hop on hop off round tour of Bournemouth.
Why Meridies?
Meridies means "South" in Latin.
My parents moved down to Bournemouth from London when I was very small, and they called our new house Meridies.
To them, South represented a move from the stress of the big city to a simpler and more carefree life on the South coast. I can remember Dad saying to me that he thought the word was a bit like "merry days", and we certainly did have many merry days in that house.
Now I am all grown up and my parents have moved on. Now I'm the one who lives near London with the stress of work and parenting teenagers. So now I'm carving out my own little patch of carefree childhood on the South coast, and the name seems appropriate again.
I'm looking forward to my own merry days here, and I'm sure my guests will relax and enjoy themselves too.
Booking Meridies Lodge
I am prepared to offer some discounts for my friends, family and blog readers, especially those who are able to take breaks during the week in term time. I am looking to get some favourable reviews on my Holiday Lettings site and I'm very hopeful that you will fall in love with the place in the same way that I did.
If you would like to come and stay at Meridies Lodge, please check out the listing on the Holiday Lettings site and choose the dates you would like to come. Then drop me a message on that site and mention how you know me. I will write back and will offer you a discount, and if you are happy you can then book through that site.

Back then the blue line buses plied on Delhi's roads and they were known to be notoriously accidental. Even then many of us had no viable options at our disposal and we took such buses to go to college. In the cold winter days, dad was my messiah for the lifts he gave me to the bus stop saved my day and energy.
On one such day, dad was busy to have given me a lift and I had to fend for myself. I boarded one of those beastly buses and hoped to reach the bus stop on time from where I had to take a second bus to college. Contrary to my belief, me and the other passengers were dropped mid way in a careless act of charity. I took my call and decided to walk on that bone chilling December morning. The sun had started to peep through the fog and that was the only reason I decided to walk and cover the distance to the bus stop from where I boarded another bus to the college. While rambling across the deserted dingy alleys leading to the ring road, in lazy uneasiness my eyes rolled back to see three people moving after me. I rubbed my eyes lids to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating. Oh yes! I wasn't. Three men were following me and as I kept walking, their shadows started swelling in size. Too numbed to understand the severity of the situation I decided to not stop and my eyes kept wandering around myself to make sure if help was at hand. I pranced on the road much like a zebra and recited every prayer I had learned as a child. For once, I wasn't sure about whether I'll ever reach my desired destination and be saved from the clutches of the monsters who wanted to harm me for some mysterious reasons.
Images of mom, dad and Roger and the happier times we had as a family were playing in my mind like a Bollywood movie. Of having made my way into the crowded streets, those skeletons were swallowed by the soil. They disappeared in the thin air as I took to the busy roads fulls of cars and people. Were they robbers or did they want to kidnap me and take me away? I do not know. As I entered the gates of the bus stop from where I boarded my bus from, I heaved a sigh of relief . I really did not know what to make of it. To think of it I really did not know what lured them to me? The fact that I was all alone or the black claustrophobic cardigan I was wearing to beat the chill or the unoccupied streets on a marooned morning. Yes it could have been me then.
It could have been me when I took an auto all by myself, or walked on my own on a lonely street because no autos were willing to ferry me back home. It could have been me on an evening when I was walking carelessly on the roads with my women friends after a party, or on a night when I hurriedly boarded a bus which had no women passengers and just three to five male passengers. It could have been me had I not been a coy cat and suppressed retaliation when a man haunted by his hormones brushed past me.
Yes it could have been me that is why I braved the whining winters and chose to not huddle up at home. And went for the silent marches and protests at the Raisina hills and India gate to light a candle in her name. Even though that did not bring her back to life. That didn't even get her perpetrators justice, and I hear that one of them will be booked under the Juvenile justice act only because he is months away from turning eighteen. That means this devil wont get his due.
I don't know, whom to blame? The failing political machinery that did not even get her a respectable funeral and in the first place let such an incident happen or the policemen who get sold for a few thousand rupees to circumvent the arm of law. The bus in which she was mauled had been fined eight times and impounded twice in the past two years. Could a harsher penalty structure have prevented this crime from happening, asked a top cop from Delhi on Twitter.
Or the sons of patriarchal misogyny who do not think twice before hooting at me like a street dog or ask me directions while I wait for a bus or auto. So also, should the women who say all of India is unsafe be blamed. The other day I saw a middle aged man masturbating at the AIIMS metro station in public view with no one to repel his cowardly crime. The policemen at that time might have been too busy filling their pockets with challans or would not have bothered to move from their chairs, maybe that is why no one dared to take note and report the matter to the cops. Yes a girl did and her post appeared on the Safe Delhi blog but she was shrugged by the person who attended her call. I do not know what is wrong with this city called Delhi and people not living here, do not know what it takes to be a woman in Delhi.
Perhaps since it is the den of politicians and high profile businessmen who enjoy a carte blanche owing to their money and status, criminals get to walk scot free, both the famous and ordinary. Or isn't anyone bothered to grant women their "human rights"?
The fight is on, and this time I hope the citizens have risen from slumber to salvage their spaces.
It is not just a mother's daughter's, wife's or sister's fight. It is your fight, it is my fight. It is every Nirbhaya's fight from Manipur, Kashmir, Delhi and from every part of the country whose perpetrators are walking freely when they should have been wearing the gallows. It is a human being's fight who deserves as much freedom and respect as her counterpart called man.
I go speechless when mom says "Now you know why we keep calling you, when you decide to come home late?" I now know why and do not utter a word in protest.
The eight pm rule is back with a bang. After all caution is the parent of safety.
I wish the nation had risen against this rape culture ages ago, when a woman was raped in some part of this country and everyone had to blame her lifestyle or clothing for the occurrence of the incident. Maybe a young life could have been saved, another unassuming victim to the popular Rape Culture this nation takes pride in.
I get jitters when I try to imagine myself in her shoes, in Nirbhaya's shoes. I do not want another Nirbhaya to be born in me or in you.

My DIY Smart Saw Review
I've always had the handyman gene in me. Growing up, I loved tinkering with tools and building everything I could think of. This passion stayed with me as I got older. Now that I am a homeowner, one of my favorite things to do is fix things around the house and build new furniture for my patio.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that I wanted to make, but I didn't have the right tools to do it. The main thing that I was lacking was a CNC machine. A CNC machine gives me the ability to turn my blocky and barely-functional furniture into fine works of art. It allows you to make precision cuts that I would not be able to do by hand. Unfortunately, a CNC machine is way too expensive so I never considered it as a real option with my budget. I was stuck disappointing my wife with each new bench that I put together by hand, and trust me, they were not pretty to look at.
And Then I Found DIY Smart Saw Guide
One day, I came across the DIY Smart Saw CNC machine. It gave me a way to make the machine that I needed within a budget that I could afford. This is a step-by-step guide that showed me how to make my own homemade Smart Saw for less than $500.
Do You Need Previous CNC Experience For This?
Having not been trained to use a CNC machine before, I was skeptical about how well I would be able to use it once it was finally built. I know many of you have the same concerns, which is why I thought this was important to include this in my DIY Smart Saw review.
I was happy to find out that this program was specifically designed for people in my situation. It is not a guide that is intended to be used by experts. Instead, the guide keeps things very simple and basic.
Everything from start to finish was easy to understand. Not only was it easy to put together, it was easier to use and master than I was anticipating. I was so happy with the final results that I decided to write this DIY Smart Saw review for you today.
Who Is Behind The DIY Smart Saw?
The Smart Saw guide was created by Alex Grayson. Alex always had a passion for tinkering and building things. He works as an engineer and along the way; he took an interest in woodworking. He combined his engineering experience with his love for woodworking to create the Smart Saw.
What Will You Receive In This Guide?
- When you order this program, you will receive:
- A four-part instruction manual stuffed with illustrations that will show you how to build your own Smart Saw.
- An additional manual that is packed with tips and advice that will help you put together and use your saw correctly.
- A video series that you can use to get a real-time look at the saw in action as it is being built and used.
- A troubleshooting section that contains any potential problems you may encounter to ensure that your experience putting together your very own Smart Sawgoes as clean as possible.
- Bonus: As a bonus, you will receive an additional guide called "The 101 Woodworking". This is a video guide that will show you the correct technique to use your homemade Smart Saw.
Advantages To The DIY Smart Saw
- It is a much cheaper way to get your hands on a CNC machine rather than buying a new or even a used one.
- The guide is easy to understand and nearly idiot proof.
- The guide is designed for people that are inexperienced using CNC machines.
- Building this CNC machine itself is a fun project that you will enjoy.
- ClickBank offers a 60-day moneyback guarantee to eliminate any risk for the skeptical customer.
ClickBank Guarantee
As with all ClickBank products, the DIY Smart Saw comes with a 60-day full money back guarantee. This means you are not obligated to pay anything for this product if you find that you are not satisfied with it. If you are skeptical, I recommend giving it a look. If it's not what you were expecting, you can take it back for full refund.
Final Thoughts
If you ever wanted to enjoy the benefits that a real CNC machine can provide for you without spending thousands of dollars to purchase one on your own, Alex gives you a real working way to get your hands on one yourself. It does take some effort to put it together, but if you are a builder like myself, it's one of the best parts of the entire process.
Many people think this is a DIY Smart Saw scam, but take it for me, it is not. I was very happy with the end result once I was able to start using my very own Smart Saw.
Note: If for any certain reason, you are not satisfied with product, you can ask for the refund within 60 days

"We Feel Fine" isn't new, but I think it's a nice way to end the year. If you're unfamiliar with the website, here's a good description:
Every few minutes, [WE FEEL FINE] searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written…. The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 – 20,000 new feelings per day. (Eyebeam.org)
Just click the big pink heart to start. (FYI, I like the "Murmurs" and the "Mounds" applications, but wander around–it's all pretty nifty.)
And obviously: happy New Year, y'all.

Is that a view or what?! I don't think this is real, though. See that line where the big picture wall joins the other wall on the left? There seems to be a line of sorts where the image moves to the other wall which might not happen in real life, if it was just a big window.
What do you think?
Whatever it is, I love this space. Would have liked to look at the rest of the room/house.

The life of Kanaka Maoli,the indigenous Hawai`i people, is linked closely with kalo,the taro plant. Kalo is believed to havethe greatest life force of all foods. According to the Kumulipo, the creationchant, kalo grew from the first-born son of Wakea (skyfather) and Papa (earth mother), through Wakea's relationship with his andPapa's daughter, Ho`ohokulani. Haloa-naka, as the son was named, was stillbornand buried. Out of his body grew the kalo plant, also calledHaloa, which means everlasting breath. Kalo and poi(pounded kalo) are a means of survival for the Hawai`ipeople. By eating kalo as poi, one ata time as a ritual around the poi bowl (`umeke) at thecenter of the diners, the protocol of Hawai`i is maintained. This is a ceremonyof life that brings people together and supports a relationship of `ohana(family) and of appreciation with the `aumakua (ancestors).
From earlytimes, kalo was the primary food of the Hawai`i people, supplemented byother principal and traditional foods: sweet potato (`uala), Polynesiansettlers in their canoes and has been cultivated as a mainstay from ancienttimes in the tropical and subtropical latitudinal band around the earth.Taro grows in tropical Africa, the West Indies, the Pacific nations andin countries bordering the Indian Ocean in South Asia. In Hawai`i, wherecultivation has been the most intense, in the early days there were morethan 300 varieties of taro. Approximately 87 of these varieties are stillrecognized today, with slight differences in height, stalk color, leaf orflower color, size, and root type. Some of the local varieties are Mo`i,Lehua, Ha`akea and Chinese.
Taro, whose scientific name is Colocasia esculenta (or antiquorum) is cultivated both in the uplandsas high as 4,000 feet, and in marshy land irrigated by streams. The plantis a hearty succulent perennial herb, with clusters of long heart or arrowhead-shapedleaves that point earthward. Taro grows on erect stems that may be green,red (lehua), black or variegated. The new leaf and stem push out of theinnermost stalk, unrolling as they emerge. The stems are usually severalfeet high. Tiny new plants appear around the base of the root corm. Thepua, inflorescence, is an open yellow-white tube, enclosing a spike coveredwith flowers.
Depending on the variety, all parts of this sturdy andvital plant are eaten. The leaves are cooked as greens, similar to spinach.The tubers are eaten baked, boiled or steamed, or cooked and mashed withwater to make poi. The fibrous flesh of the tubers is tough and spongy,ranging in color from white, yellow, lilac-purple and pink to reddish. Mostimportant is the starchy root with enough glutinosity to make quality poi.The stiffest poi is called locally "one finger" and the most liquid"three finger". "Two finger" poi is considered the best.The planters know which kind of taro makes the best poi, which variety hasthe most tender leaves and which has the necessary medicinal properties.
Taro is often fed to babies as their first whole and naturalhealthy food, as well as to the elderly, for its ease of digestion and highvitamin content. Some people call poi the "soul food" of Hawai`i.Poi is eaten fresh or allowed to ferment for a few days, often for longer,creating a sour taste considered pleasant, acid, but not alcoholic. In theold days, a person might consume up to five pounds of poi per day. Severalkinds of kalo had such special flavor and color that they were reservedonly for the chiefs. It is said that Soviet astronauts ate dehydrated taroin space, adding water to the packets...instant poi!
In the kalo and poi-based agricultural society, the peopleof ancient Hawai`i were dependent on wetland taro. Great skills were neededto terrace, cultivate and irrigate the land, along with the social and politicalskills to maintain it. The planters of wetland taro were practicing engineers,building walls of earth reinforced with stone to enclose the lo`i (pondfield). Along the banks of the lo`i were planted ko (sugarcane), wauke (papermulberry) for kapa cloth, also known as tapa. In the pond field, severalvarieties of fish were grown, such as `awa, `ama`ama, o`opu and aholehole.An acre of wet lo`i could produce 3 to 5 tons of food per year. Drylandtaro was grown in the lower forests where the soil was rich and the rainfallsufficient.
Today there are still functional lo`i along the Keanae,Wailua and Hana coastlines of Maui, as well as other locations throughout these Hawai`i islands.
A taro farmer exemplifies self-sufficient stewardship ofnatural resources through hard work. There is wisdom in encouraging and supporting community as well as back-yard cultivation of this valuablefood.
In planting both wetland and dryland taro, the huli, theplanting material, consists of a 1/2 inch thick slice of the topof the kalo (corm, from which derives the plant's name) attached to 6 to10 inches of the leaf-stem. These protrude above the water or dryland whereplanted. The bottom of the corm/root is saved for cooking and eating, makingtaro a recyclable plant. In 6 to 12 months, depending upon plant varietyalong with soil and water conditions, the taro should be ready to harvest.Each parent tuber produces from two to l5 `oha, side tubers of corms, upto 6 inches in diameter. `Oha means specifically the suckers or shoots concentricallygrowing from the corm of the kalo/taro plant. Knowing this, it is easy tounderstand why the Hawai`i family as a group is termed `ohana, which literallymeans "all from the shoots".
Before kalo can be eaten, all parts of the plant must becooked, in order to break down the needle-like calcium oxalate crystalspresent in the leaves, stem and corm. These could be extremely irritatingto the throat and mouth lining, causing a burning and stinging sensation.
Lu`au is the name of the edible taro leaf, from the wordlau, leaf. Lu`au supplies high amounts of vitamins A, B and C, as well ascalcium, iron, phosphorus, thiamine and riboflavin. The cooked corm andpoi have fewer vitamins, but are an excellent carbohydrate source and havethe ability to balance the pH factor in the body, as they are an alkaliproducing food.
The following are a few of the medicinal usesof poi and the kalo plant. Poi is used to settle the stomach. Mixed withripe pia (arrowroot starch) and taken for diarrhea. Undiluted poi is sometimesused as a poultice on infected sores. A piece of taro stem, haha, can betouched to the skin to stop surface bleeding. Some infections respond tothe use of taro leaves mashed with Hawai`i salt. This poultice can be appliedto an injury, covered and wrapped with a large taro leaf. For a sting froman insect, the stem can be cut and rubbed on the afflicted area.
Mud from the taro patch was used as a black dye for kapacloth.
The kalo plant is said to be the hiapo, the number onesibling. It is also said to be the kinolau, the body form, of Kane, theprocreator. The small round depression where the taro stalk meets the leafsurface is called the piko, from whence comes the name for the human bellybutton.
If we want to learn more about kalo and how to grow it,it is a good idea to talk to the farmers who already grow it. Many of theseare eager to share their knowledge and expertise and many fascinating storiesabout this plant so central to the life of Hawai`i and her people. Exchangingstories and taro varieties with friends and neighbors is the Hawai`i way.
As kumu Kawaikapuokalani Hewitt said "Our existencedepends on Haloa, our elder brother, the Kalo."

Well what can one say about ones self that doesn't sound pretentious and self involved? Not much really so I will spout out my drivel anyway...
I am a 28 year old mum of two kidlets, no this doesn't make me a bored housewife who blogs because she has nothing better to do. I have a job that takes up way to much of my time, time I would rather be spending with my family or actually writing up reviews for you guys to read.
Why did I start blogging?
I started blogging as a way to document my journey as a writer constructing her first novel with the hopes that one day that novel would be published. I know the blog doesn't look like what I have described anymore, but as I said, I have a job that takes up far far too much of my daily life and energy.
Along the way I found people doing book reviews on their blogs. Since I tend to devour books whole I thought it could be something fun for me to do. Writing about writing wasn't really sparking my interest and I figured writing reviews would at least encourage me to write when I didn't feel like it.

The latest episode of Live From Daryl's House featuring Joe Walsh. The perfect choice for LFDH's 60th episode, Walsh had this to say of the state of today's pop music:
"It's all been programmed, there's no MOJO, there's nobody testifying, and there's not the magic of a human performance, which is never perfect and the magic of the human performance is what we all know and love in the old records..."

Shabooh Shoobah Is 30 Years Old.
From michaelhutchence.com: Where does the phrase "Shabooh Shoobah" come from? It came about in the early stages of recording the track "Spy Of Love" which was written by Michael Hutchence & Tim Farriss. Tim began singing the phrase as a rhythmic chant as the band played. Even once Michael had written lyrics, the phrase stuck in the bands minds and it became the album title.

It seems obvious that Jennifer Lopez's rebound romance with Casper Smart is bad news ... but it's taken this long for a story calling him out to emerge. According to In Touch magazine, the pop singer is letting her lover mistreat, fire and alienate her staff, not to mention drive her friends away.
"Jennifer gives 110 percent when she's this smitten," a pal explained. "She's letting Casper call all the shots, and that's starting to upset some of her friends."
Her decision to name him head choreographer of her tour reportedly prompted her tour manager to quit: "He thinks it's a bad move on J. Lo's part and doesn't want to be involved," an insider said.
And Jennifer's assistant and pal Gilly Iyer has allegedly left after "Casper insisted that Jennifer's staff call him Mr. Smart and demanded that Gilly get him drinks," the source said.
Ex Tension
Jennifer Aniston is threatening to dump Justin Theroux if he doesn't break off contact with ex-girlfriend Heidi Bivens — at least, if you believe OK! magazine.
The former "Friends" star is said to have hastened to relocate to Los Angeles with her beau after a stint in New York was too close to his ex for comfort. But it turns out that in this day and age, people are capable of long-distance communication, and that supposedly didn't sit well with Jen.
"Jen's had it," a source said. "As if it's not enough that she's getting grief over the Brangelina engagement, with everyone pointing out that she's still childless and husbandless, now she's still got this hangover from Justin's past haunting her!"
"She told him he had to decide between her or Heidi — and it caused a huge bust-up," the source said.
Whoa, deja vu — where have we heard this story before? Oh, right! It was about Angelina Jolie threatening to dump Brad Pitt if he didn't break off contact with Jen.
Healthy Lifestyle?
Less than a week after she was hospitalized, Rihanna "was dancing up a storm" at a New York club on Saturday, a source told Page Six.
Last week, after attending the Metropolitan Museum's annual gala, RiRi tweeted a photo of herself with an IV in her arm. But Saturday, a club actually stayed open past its usual 4 a.m. closing time to accommodate her.
We are not feeling good about Rihanna's life choices lately.

I have been struggling for the past few hour trying to get the Z Probe dialed in.
First, the original probe included with the PB dies, then I got a replacement, but this one was a xxx/BX mode instead of xxx/BY. The difference between them is the BX logic is reversed. No probelm, I adjusted the firmware to fix that.
My problem are 2 fold. First of all, I can't seem to be able to tweak the probe adjustment using the M212 Zxx command. I know the setting is stored because I can issue a M501 command and I can see the setting I just entered. Problem is that no matter what value I enter in there, the probe doesn't change physical height.
The second problem is that the probe seem to be affected by heat. I have a heater bed, and once I have the bed a 90°, the probe triggers permanently, so it's no longer of any use.
Has anyone else encounter similar problems?

The US needs to ask itself a "big dramatic question" about Taiwan, a foreign policy expert told a Washington conference on Wednesday.
Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution said that historically the US military had been so powerful that it could operate with impunity "ten or twenty or thirty miles" off the coast of China.
However, those days are over, he said.
Now, with the growth of China's own military and the technical development of new weapons systems, he said the US had "less supremacy, less dominance."
He also asked the conference — organized by the National Bureau of Asian Research — to consider if the US needed to "weaken" its defense commitment to Taiwan.
O'Hanlon, a senior fellow in foreign policy who specializes in US defense strategy and the use of military force, stressed that he was not suggesting that the US should pull back from the Western Pacific.
"Does our strategy for the defense of Taiwan have the ability to survive for another decade or two?" he asked.
He said that in the past the US had the ability to help protect Taiwan "in any kind of way that we wished."
"We could stop an amphibious assault, stop a naval blockade, stop anything else that China might attempt," he said.
However, that is no longer the case, he said.
"We don't have the same immunity from Chinese actions in and around Taiwan that we had before," he said.
"If China blockades Taiwan, rather than breaking the blockade, do we counterblockade?" he asked. "Do we mobilize international sanctions that have the effect of imposing a blockade? In other words, it might be time to get a little more creative about our war planning."
O'Hanlon added: "China cares more about Taiwan than we do — it's just a fact."
"And yet, we do care about Taiwan. We care about it at least as much as we care about Georgia," he added.
While O'Hanlon said it was not a perfect analogy, he likened a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan to the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Washington, he said, simply told Moscow that if it overthrew the Georgian regime, the Russian-US relationship would not "be the same."
The US, O'Hanlon said, did not really know what that meant — but Washington was deadly serious even though it did not launch a single war plane or issue a single military threat during the crisis.
He concluded: "Countering a Chinese blockade of Taiwan is going to get harder, but there are other military and economic steps we could take."

Dear supporter,
It has been a busy year for ACSMA and the campaign to secure wider access to self-monitoring technology for people on long-term warfarin anticoagulation therapy.
Building on the 2014 success of positive NICE guidance for two coagulometers, in July 2015 NICE also published a Quality Standard. The Quality Standard included what is known as a developmental standard, which is a standard which NHS bodies are expected to work towards over a period of time. The standard states that adult patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are taking warfarin on a long-term basis to help reduce their risk of stroke are supported to self-manage their blood levels with a coagulometer.
In spite of these very positive developments, however, we know that many of you are still struggling to persuade your GP or anticoagulation clinic to support you to self-monitor your blood clotting levels. Many parts of the country are dragging their heels when it comes to implementing the NICE guidance. In other parts of the country, matters have taken a step backwards, as Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) have taken the decision to restrict the number of test strips that can be prescribed or, in some cases, refusing to prescribe the strips at all.
Our work at national level is continuing. We have excellent and active support from a wide range of MPs and from senior people within NHS England.
However, locally, we need your support now more than ever. For that reason, we have updated and revised a number of our fact sheets and campaign toolkit items – including our "mythbuster" document and template MP letter – and added a couple of new resources for you, including a letter for your local CCG. You can find them here <http://www.acsma.org.uk/campaign-toolkit/>
Please take the time to download or print the updated materials and make use of them in any way you can to help drive our campaign for wider access to self-monitoring opportunities.
Please do keep us updated on your progress and do not hesitate to contact any of the ACSMA founding members for help.

There is a lot of speculation about Linux and whether and when corporate information technology (IT) departments will really begin to adopt it. While looking at recent studies on operating-system usage, it struck me that Linux bears an amazing similarity to another technology that was gradually picked up by corporate IT in the 1980s: the personal computer. Although the technology itself is different, the issues and obstacles are still the same.
Back in the 1980s, corporate data-processing groups shunned the personal computer. They said that it was a toy and couldn't be used for real work. Furthermore, no corporate support personnel was trained to support PCs. Most of the computing workload for large organizations was handled by mainframes and minicomputers.
Regardless of what the data-processing (DP) folks said, those who had actually bought PCs knew that they could make life at work much easier. So, they started sneaking PCs into the office. "Since my PC can emulate a terminal," the thinking went, "the DP people won't ever know that my terminal is mothballed in the broom closet."
When enough personal computers were supporting the work of a particular business unit, the unit director or vice president would call up the director of data processing and tell him to either support the darned PCs or watch the cost of supporting them get slashed from the DP department's budget. It wasn't long before the DP department saw the value of these systems and started including them in their plans.
Leaping to Today
The company I work for, International Data Corp., spends a fair amount of time looking at how technologies like Linux are being adopted in the corporate world, and our numbers show a similar pattern to the PC. The corporate IT organization is focusing on familiar technologies. In a study conducted at the end of 1999, we found that nearly half of IT budgets were dedicated to Microsoft's Windows NT. More than one-third were evaluating Windows 2000, and only about 22 percent were evaluating Linux. An encouraging result for Linux was that 80 percent said they were open to the operating environment.
The reason that Windows NT/Windows 2000 are so high on the budgetary list is that Microsoft has convinced organizations to insert Windows NT/ 2000 workgroup or departmental servers between their Windows desktops and Unix business-unit servers. The Unix servers sit between workgroups/ departments and the corporate mainframes. Linux will have to earn its way onto this corporate short list over time.
Our study found that although IT people say their purchasing decisions are guided by things like reliability, performance, price/performance, and features, the reality of the situation is that corporate standards, not technological merit, really matter most.
More recent studies show that end users are leading organizations toward Linux. Experts are bringing Linux into the organization to handle certain functions without the knowledge or approval of the corporate IT organization. Linux is often asked to support Web infrastructure, high-performance technical computing, and digital content creation. While it might be supporting the Web front end, Linux seldom shows up running business or mission-critical applications.
IT May Not Own the Web
Corporate IT departments are responsible for back-office systems, front-office systems, and systems supporting remote field sales and support personnel. Web sites were seen as an extension to sales or marketing activities rather than a part of this core infrastructure. In many organizations, this meant that the creation and support of the organization's Web site fell to the sales or marketing organization. This is what opened the door for Linux.
The people who put these Linux systems together often do not have a history of working with mainframes or midrange systems. Rather than building the Web site on a few large multifunctional systems, they often build computer farms where each system supports either a single function or a small number of functions. This allows them to select the best system for the job at hand.
Support of functional server configurations explains the findings of a recent IDC Linux server survey. This study showed that the average Linux server is a single-processor, Intel-based system supporting less than 500 MB of memory and about 10 GB of disk storage. It also showed that Linux was primarily used to support Web-server software (42 percent of respondents), file/print-server software (26 percent), e-mail software (23 percent), and DNS-server software (25 percent). All other uses showed up less than 15 percent of the time. This may be because Linux grew up on the Web and has a track record of success supporting Web infrastructure tools.
Will Linux Ever Go Mainstream?
For Linux to move beyond the functional server category and become part of the corporate IT infrastructure, some things need to change.
* Linux must be seen as one of the strategic OS platforms for major hardware and software suppliers.
* Major applications (not just their functional equivalents) must be made available on Linux.
* Linux must learn to scale beyond the current four to eight processors. This need is more for the IT organization to feel comfortable with a Linux choice rather than to support what people are actually using Linux for today.
* Commercial-quality clustering and high-availability software must be made available for Linux.
* Management software that allows Linux configurations to self-manage and self-heal must be made available.
* IT management must hear of organizations successfully using Linux for a wide range of computing solutions and having saved or made a great deal of money because of this choice.
It's clear that many of these things are occurring now. IDC expects paid or revenue shipments of Linux to move into the number two position behind Windows on the desktop market and maintain its hold on the number two position on the server market by 2004. If the PC analogy bears out, the future of Linux looks very bright indeed.

Information About Gibsonton, FL
Gibsonton, Florida is a small town just south of East Tampa on Highway 41, on the coast of Tampa Bay. This little city has deep roots in the circus community; it's been a popular winter home for many a carnival worker during the off-season. The Ringling Circus had various winter homes in the area over the years and this brought a variety of characters and creatures to this otherwise quiet Florida coastal town. This slightly circus-y city is a fun destination for both young and old Gibsonton RV rental travelers. Its close proximity to big city Tampa and some surrounding preserves and state parks make it a great destination for your next RV rental vacation. Book an RV rental in Gibsonton and see what "Gibtown" has to offer.
Experience the Sites and Scenery
Access to the great outdoors in the Gibsonton area (and a little beyond) is plentiful. While Gibsonton itself doesn't have a lot of outdoor sites to experience the surrounding nature, a drive about 15 miles East in the Gibsonton camper rental will get you to Lithia Springs Park, built around a natural spring from the Alafia River. The swimming area is a popular hangout in the park and hiking trails give access to viewing of the river cypress swamps and other natural vegetation and wildlife in the park.
About nine miles South of Gibsonton is Apollo Beach Nature Preserve. This preserve is reported to be one of the best spots for catching an ocean sunset and maybe a few fish. It is not, however, a spot for swimming or beach lounging. It's also important to note that there's an electrical power plant in close viewing proximity. Some visitors may enjoy seeing the blending of modern industry with nature on this beach; others, maybe not so much.
A scenic trek about 30 miles down the coast in the Gibsonton RV rental will unlock access to the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve, just Northwest of Palmetto. This massive protected marsh spans over 24,000 acres of wetlands and saltwater marshes. There's an extremely long fishing pier on site for prime bay browsing.
Branching out even further in the Gibsonton RV rental can get you to Myakka River State Park, about 60 miles South of Gibsonton. The park offers wildlife tours, nature trails and canoe rentals. Chances are, you'll have a chance to view alligators and other Floridian specimens in their natural habitats here. There is a campground onsite that is rental RV-friendly, if you want to stay awhile.
City Attractions
This is a circus city, so a visit with the Gibsonton RV rental probably wouldn't be complete without checking out the Gibtown International Independent Showmen's Museum. This is a fancy name for a pretty neat carnival museum. There are antique equipment displays, exhibits with photos depicting carnivals over the decades, and one of the first Ferris wheels is on display here. Shifting gears in the camper rental by owner in Gibsonton, head a few miles North and experience the Wat Mongkolrata Buddhist Temple. Featuring Thai architecture, chanting monks and hundreds of orchids, a visit here will definitely be a memorable one. Get involved in a meditation workshop, or just wander the lush and intriguing grounds. Visit during the Sunday Market and enjoy authentic Thai food and produce. Dogs are even welcome at the market, just not in the eating area. The Manatee Viewing Center is located just nine miles South of Gibsonton. Check out the environmental education building and learn about manatees and their habitat. Then hike out to the 50-foot observation tower to take in some gorgeous bay views and possibly see some manatee shenanigans. Check with the Manatee Viewing Center for seasonal hours, as they vary depending on the time of year.
What's Unique
Gibsonton is a small town on the edge of action. Historically, this city was home to various carnival characters and their creatures; the city even passed laws allowing elephants and other circus critters to be housed in yards around town. The city is no stranger to snowbirds and those seeking sunshine and sand. The summer vibes are alive here all year long, so get out there in the Gibsonton RV rental and have some fair-style fun.
Where to Park It
The selection of private RV parks in the Gibsonton area is plentiful, especially considering the size of this small town. If state park camping with the Gibsonton RV rental is more your speed, Lithia Spring Park offers RV sites and plenty of recreation. Walmart is right in town, too, if you'd like to keep it close to the city action, but outside of an RV park.
The Food
The grocery store selection in Gibsonton is made up of primarily chain stores and a couple gas station convenience stores. There are a couple local markets in the area, too. Gibsonton has a variety of eatery options around town. One can experience cuisine anywhere from standard chain restaurants to pub food to a couple somewhat waterfront dining options. Venturing up to Tampa in the Gibsonton motorhome rental will open up tons of additional eating experiences. Regardless of where you end up seeking a meal, be sure to sample locally caught seafood and freshly squeezed citrus fruit. Orange juice, stone crabs, Cuban sandwiches; do all or one of them to get an authentic Gibsonton eating experience.
A visit with one of the RV rentals in Gibsonton is sure to be memorable and there's really nothing like the warm and sunny Florida gulf. You'll find stunning landscapes, unique wildlife and vegetation and of course, the ocean; search for a camper rental in Gibsonton and get a dose of relaxation with a little circus on the side.
