You Tube stars Millennial Woes and Sargon of Akkad go head to head in debate, with Woes representing our side of the argument as nationalists and Sargon peddling his classical liberalism.
Such exchanges are valuable to us, we get to expose our ideas to a wider audience, potentially winning over large numbers of converts to the cause, and we also get the chance to dissect and dismantle views which are opposing ours. It's also highly entertaining.

I have a total fascination with clouds. Their beauty is just amazing. On that last trip to Sanford in the previous post clouds led way to the fun day ahead. Before leaving the house I did a search for any architectural salvage stores in Sanford. Although there weren't any, a shop name came up, Sweet Peas. After a bit more searching I found an address and we went looking for it. The location was a little ways from where we usually go shopping but we found it. Isn't the shop wonderful? I found her blog and recognized the work of Sadi Olive on it. Small blog world.
The store was filled with some wonderful things. As I talked with owner I found out that I had actually visited her previous store when it was closer to where I live, but she had moved it to Sanford.
Isn't that gable fabulous!? I was wondering where I could use it.
The color of this old wood piece was so beautiful. Gently worn and the just the prettiest blue. I'm happy we found this store. I'll be back again. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Tuesday's links and comments
A lot of stuff going on. Here are several links with brief commentary.
Yesterday, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) announced he was forming an exploratory committee for a presidential run. I wish him luck. Political junkies know Hunter to be a smart, well-informed congressman with a good grasp of military issues and foreign affairs. However, no one else knows him. If I asked 100 people at random if they recognize his name I'd have less than 5 correct answers.
Here is Thomas Sowell's latest column. He hits on two subjects. He correctly points out that the excitement over a potential Barack Obama presidential run is extremely premature and he discusses the nightmare of a Speaker of the House named Pelosi.
If you're in the mood for a history lesson, Michael Barone has an informative look back on the history of sixth-year-of-the-presidency off-year elections. Have big gains for the out party been a harbinger of future voting patterns? His definitive answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. Whenever I hear someone using the past to predict the future I'm reminded of the disclaimer used by mutual funds: "Past performance is not guarantee of future results."
How do Democrats respond to the truth about their intentions? Here is one example:
Rep. Charles Rangel yesterday blasted Dick Cheney as a "son of a bitch" after the vice president said the Harlem lawmaker would raise taxes and destroy the economy if Democrats take control of the House.
Apparently, liberals don't have a monopoly on bad manners.
Barbra Streisand's politics didn't find a wholly agreeable crowd during her Monday concert at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise. As Babs traded political barbs with a George W. Bush imitator, a fan of the songstress who apparently disagreed with her politics pelted her with a beverage. And as her anti-GOP riff ended, another man in the crowd found himself being escorted out of the center as he shouted at Streisand.Streisand is misinformed on nearly all her political views and is sophomoric in her attempt at humor. Regardless of that there is no valid excuse for throwing a beverage at her or interrupting her concert. People paid good money for the show and they should be able to enjoy the show without interruption.
Here is a story which could have only come from Arkansas.
Man Tries to Use Fake $100 Clinton BillThe article does not say how many times he was successful before he was caught.
In recent national elections, the political experts in the media have cherry picked a demographic that they believe control the keys to the political kingdom. Whether hyping "soccer moms," Nascar dads," "security moms," or some other group that is mistakenly believed to be THE important voting block to be courted they err in assuming these groups vote together in lockstep. This election cycle the Sunday newspaper magazine USA Weekend decided to cover all the bases by picking 7 keys groups. The analysis is simplistic and clearly tilts to the left. With each group they describe the group and then say where that group matters. For example group number 5 is Midwesterners and the authors decide midwesterners will decide the statewide races in Ohio. No kidding, you mean Ohio's elections won't be decided by the folks living on the coasts.

A group of Democratic and Republican senators introduced legislation to extend copyright protection to music sound recordings before 1972, giving artists a way to receive royalties when their works are played on satellite and digital radio services.
Almost 50 years ago, federal copyright protection was extended to sound recordings, but it applied only to music made after Feb. 15, 1972. Artists and labels have pressed for changes in the copyright law as streaming and satellite platforms increasingly rely on '50s and '60s recordings as part of their channel lineups.
The legislation is backed by the Recording Industry Association of America and Pandora, along with Sound Exchange, which would handle the distribution of royalties for the pre-1972 recordings.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-Tenn.), Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) are the initial sponsors of the legislation, which is called the Compensating Legacy Artists for their Songs, Service and Important Contributions to Society Act, or CLASSICS Act. It is similar to legislation that was introduced in the House last year.

Banff films lineup for Spokane revealed
ADVENTURE -- For the first time, I'm able to reveal the lineup of films for the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, which starts its three-day run tonight, 7 p.m., at The Bing.
I just returned from the meeting as Mountain Gear staff made the difficult selections to present a balanced lineup of the best films without overdoing any night with too much whitewater or culture or too many long films while provide everything from thrills to laughs.
From what I could see, they succeeded. Read on for the list of films, but if you don't have tickets, you're out of luck until Sunday. The shows tonight and Saturday are sold out and Sunday tickets were going fast when I stopped by Mountain Gear minutes ago.
Picking the films were Phil Bridgers and Heather Salo of Mountain Gear, teaming with Paul Price, a 10-year veteran World Tour host who travels the continent with the Banff films.
Paul already has showed the film at four three venues in Montana, and he helped the Spokane hosts with tips on how the films were received by other audiences.
Here's the lineup as it stood at the conclusion of their meeting, subject to minor last-minute changes. Note that a few of the snappy crowd-pleasing short films will show more than one night.
FRIDAY (Starts 7 p.m.)
- The Longest Way -- Voted best short film
- Fly Or Die -- Special jury award winner
- Crossing the Ditch -- Best film on exploration and adventure
- Azadi: Freedom -- Skiing
- Still motion -- Wildlife
- WildWater -- whitewater film featureing Doug Ammons of Missoula, selected by Outside Magazine as one of the top 10 adventure game-changers in the last 100 years
- Kranked Kids -- Biking humor
SATURDAY (Starts 7 p.m.)
- Kranked Kids -- Biking Humor
- Into Darkness -- Caving flick that's getting great audience response
- The Asgard Project -- Voted best film on climbing, it's the longest film of the weekend at 60 minutes, but visually captivating. The northern lights images at the end of the heart-thumping intro footage are from this film.
- Last Paradise -- Excellent nostalgia flick on industrious New Zealanders and their evolution from go from surfing to snowboarding and more
- Stones into Schools -- Culture: if you read Three Cups of Tea, you'll dig this
- Longest Way -- Best short film
- Dream REsult -- Whitewater thriller, ends with a clip of the world-record waterfall descent of Palouse Falls.
SUNDAY (starts at 6 p.m.)
- Swiss Machine -- Speed climbing
- Life Cycles -- Mountain biking
- Longest Way -- Best short film
- Eastern Rises -- Best film on mountain sports, a zippy, humorous film on fly fishing in Russia
- Salt -- Won award for creative excellence.
- Rush Hour Dream -- Paragliding
- Deeper -- Backcountry snowboarding
- Kranked kids -- Biking humor.
One disappointment about the World Tour this year: A Life Ascending, the people's choice winner from the Banff Festival featuring a ski mountaineer and his family from Revelstoke, British Columbia, will not be shown. The licensing agreement has not yet been processed.

In 2012, the Raincoast Education Society commissioned a State of the Eelgrass Report for Clayoquot Sound, compiling all eelgrass research, monitoring and mapping projects in the region between 1974 and 2012. The report suggested the major knowledge gap of the region is related to the lack of understanding of the distribution and health of eelgrass habitats.
Loss of eelgrass beds can have serious impacts on coastal ecosystems, including declines in commercial fisheries and migratory waterfowl populations. Further, eelgrass is essential foraging habitat for the Pacific Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias fannini), a provincially blue-listed species.
This Eelgrass program, led by the Raincoast Education Society, and in partnership with Parks Canada, Nature Trust of BC, Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society, Simon Fraser University, and local residents, continues mapping and monitoring eelgrass in the Tofino Mudflats Wildlife Management Area and empowering youth through the participation in outdoor, conservation-based science.

Elon Musk might finally be ready to make Hyperloop, the high-speed tubular transportation tech he dreamed up back in 2013, a reality on his own terms
A source "close to Musk" told Bloomberg that the Boring Company CEO will move forward with plans to build his own Hyperloop system inside the underground tunnels planned to beat traffic in LA and the East Coast. The new report is the first claim that Musk will actually build his own Hyperloop track, which could be a blow to the other companies in the field.
Musk recently set the news cycle buzzing when he tweeted out claims that he received "verbal government approval" to build a network of tunnels connecting major cities on the East Coast. He described the tunnels as an "underground Hyperloop," but didn't mention who exactly would be providing the tech, which is a key detail because the Boring Company hadn't…

Another healthy supper to try!
....what will it be tonight!?!? Honey & Soy Chicken with Cashews! I'm cooking right now as I type this...the chicken is thawing and the carrots are boiling. We love asian inspired meals in our home and this last trip to the grocery after researching and planning these meals I felt like I left with everything from the oriental foods section. I'll let you know how it turns out and how my kids liked it once we get to try it. Until then try it for yourself. The link is above and let me know how your family liked it as well. Enjoy!

Spyglasses get cool, but expensive
There's a great scene in Mission: Impossible (starring Tom Cruise) where he puts on a cool pair of glasses that have an invisible spy camera built into the lenses. As he walks into a foreign embassy, the video is streamed live to his cohorts who monitor his progress.
Well, spyglasses haven't evolved to that point, but at least they've reached a point where the glasses are fashionable, rather than an homage to "Revenge of the Nerds." But sadly, in this case, spytech with fashion sense also translates into a drain on the pocketbook. But we all must suffer to look good, don't we? Even today's spy has to carry off the look. And we can credit the Brits for making it happen. Spycatcher of Knightsbridge is offering a personal digital video recorded with sunglasses that have a built in camera.
The camera in this stylish pair of glasses is hidden within the frame and records clear audio and color video allows you to film whatever you look at. It records in either NTSC or PAL with about 350 lines of horizontal resolution at a sadly low-rez 510×492 (NTSC) 500×582(PAL). This is due to the small 1/4″ Interline CCD.
Good news though is that is has a low light lux rating of 0.5 Lux and has a variable electronic shutter that goes from 1/50 – 1/100,000.
Cost is a staggering $1652

Vision. It is something that can difficult to find. It is something that is absolutely necessary. It is something that, at times, can be downright elusive. It is something that you must have as a leader. It is something that people need. It is something that we must cling to even when there is no tangible evidence of it. Vision.
Proverbs 29:18 teaches us, "Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law." When there is no vision, or prophetic teaching, present then the people become ungovernable or rebellious. I think it is vitally important, though, that we take this down to an individual level and not just stay up at a corporate level. If I am not clinging to the vision that God has placed in my heart through the Holy Spirit, then I am blowing in the wind and tossed about as I go through life. Each follower of Christ is imbued with a vision of purpose and calling at the point of salvation. Now certainly, it may, and usually is not, immediately be completely clear. However, rest assured that as you grow in your walk with Jesus, the vision of Christ will become more and more clear to you. You will begin to understand new facets and components of what God has uniquely gifted you as His adopted son or daughter to do.
This is the point at which you face a life-altering decision. Jesus will call each of us out of a comfort zone at one point or another. It is possible that He will call you out of your comfort zone on multiple occasions. So, will you stay true to what is familiar and comfortable, or will you take the step of faith and get out of the boat as Peter did to go after Jesus?
It's not always easy. In fact, it usually isn't easy. However, if we follow after the Lord, we will be in the best place possible. It is when we are following after the Vision of Christ in our lives that we will be most stretched, most pushed, and most challenged in our faith, but it is also when we will most grow, develop, and advance in our walk with Him. And if God has placed a vision in your heart and promised to lead you in a certain direction it will come to pass. Habakkuk 2:2-3 reads,
"Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end – it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay."
So, what will you do? Will you stand frozen in fear of leaving what is comfortable and familiar, or will you follow after the vision that God is calling you to in Him?

I hate knowing that people I love are hurting. We're never truly prepared for "the end". No matter how often we remind ourselves that this life is temporary, there is no time like being told it's time to begin preparing our goodbyes for someone we love that any sense of acceptance we have about life abandons us. I hurt for those I know and love who are going through that now. Near the end just try to remember all the good things. Though they make it harder to say our goodbyes, they are what will remain with us in our minds and hearts forever. I do not envy where you sit right now – torn between praying for peace for someone you love and yet not wanting to let go – but I do remember very well being there. We all carry scars from life and our losses. The cracks in our hearts from losing a loved one never heal. They serve as proof of how our hearts swell with so much love for those we cherish in our lives. And over the years if we are fortunate enough to love so many, we will have to say painful goodbyes many more times. It may not always get easier but with each time we learn to appreciate life even more and it deepens our love for those still around us so that in the end, really, we all die from a broken heart – a heart that held so much love for so many special people that it had to break to make room. My heart, my thoughts and my prayers are with you in this difficult time.
Cracks In Our Hearts

Simon--isn't it nice? I mean if one knows that there's a dry place waiting & it's not mandatory to be out? I love walking in the rain w/big umbrella. But like the hothouse flower my mother claims I am (grrr), the conditions have to be just right. Or is that the Goldilocks Theory:)
Mary-Laure--I cannot pull one over on you for a second. I wish you'd be my editor! Now, I'll put in the label for a writing project that I left off. Amazing. I think we need to get you on to Jeopardy & win a million dollars. (I'm not kidding.)

Yesterday I went to a couple of stores that offered me coupons for free items. I picked up a pillow and two play shirts for my grandson's birthday at Penney's. The out of pocket cost was $2.10. (How could I resist the nice weather? It was calling me to leave the house.) The next stop was Victoria's Secret where I turned in a coupon for a free pair of undies. They will be gifted to my daughter as they were not my style. They were made more for a younger woman.
|I wasn't expecting a top of the line pillow for free, but
I was happy to see they gave me a firm one.
|The shirts were priced at $10.00 each. On sale they were offered for $5.99.
With my coupon I paid $2.10. The lady behind me told me what a good bargain I
got. I agree, don't you?
I did a couple more errands then came home instead of going to Kohl's to turn in my two free $5.00 coupons. (On $5.00) The errands did me in so I thought I'd come home for a rest. Today I went to Kohl's and the Dollar Tree.
I found an outfit for my grandson for his upcoming birthday. Pants and a long sleeve top for his next growth cycle. You know the one. When a child wakes up one morning and nothing fits because he/she grew during the night. It's normally a quiet process and takes a mom unaware.
|It's a bit difficult to see the color, but the outfit is
in different shades of blue. Grandma's favorite color.
The Dollar Tree was busy this afternoon, but I took my time anyway, ignoring the hustle around me. I found a couple of items for the Easter table to add a spark for the grands. The candy jar was calling for some new treats so I got bubble gum shaped like Easter eggs and Life Savers in spring flavors and colors. Adding the colorful pink polka dotted straws to the table will create a bit of an excitement. The religious part of Easter has always been the part of the adults to explain to the children, and the bunny part is the excitement part for the kids. This way they know the meaning behind the day and have some fun, too.
|This was transformed into...
|this. Just a bit of fun for the children.
Have you been spring shopping? Have you found any bargains. Do you have children in your family that are getting excited for the bunny's visit? Let us know in the comments below. I'd love to hear from you.

Beware this is a spoiler filled breakdown of Captain America The Winter Soldier.
The latest installment to Marvels movie universe is by far the best written. Like all good stories The Winter Soldier has Easter eggs for hardcore fans to feast on. Dont mind me as I Geek Out and address all the hidden comic book goodness.
Our Heroes…
Chris Evans was great in his third go at Captain America. He really owns the role of Steve Rodgers super soldier. We get to see what he's been upto in the Modern world. Most of his friends are long gone so Cap spends his time running missions for Shield.
Scarlett Johanssons Black Widow and Samuel L.Jacksons Nick Fury have their best performance yet. Black Widow kicks some major ass, and looks sexy as ever doing it. Fury takes more then a few hits physically, personally and career wise.
Anthony Mackie is the new comer and he not only held his own but shined as Falcon. Mackies an up and coming actor. His chemistry with Rodgers makes him a perfect fit. In the comics Falcon is a little more tacky in appearance but one of Caps most trusted friends. I'm sure we'll see more of him as he's a great addition to the films.
The casting was well done, with many great performances from stars to support. One of the small but important roles is that of Agent 13 Sharon (Caps neighbor). In the comics Sharon Carter is the grand niece of Peggy Carter and eventually Captain America'a wife.
The bad guys…
The main villain is Cap's best friend Bucky now going by Winter soldier. A deadly assassin who gives his old buddy a hard fight. The Winter Soldier is pretty much on par with comic's version of Caps friend turned foe. He's a man of few words but quite intimidating through his cold dead stare.
Robert Redford is the mastermind from Hydra Alexander Pierce who takes over Shield. One of hollywoods legends Redford shows his acting skills to a new generation. This plot changed Marvels landscape. By having Shield disassembled in the end. Leaves me wondering what's next for the tv show. Looks like its time for me to Netflix season one.
Agent Rumlow: He fought at Captain America's side but then hunted him down. He's better known as Crossbones in the comic. The last scene of him is a bloodied injured body on surgery table. Does this mean he will he don the mask in future Marvel Universe? I sure hope so.
Zola: The mad Hydra scientist that made Bucky into the unstoppable Winter Soldier. Hes seen in flash backs and in the hidden bunker on the computer screen. This gives me idea his Artificial intelligence mind will transfer to the metallic body we know from comics in 3rd film.
Batrock the leaper: Is played by GSP better known as mixed martial arts champ from UFC. He did a nice job in his small role showcasing those great fighting skills. His version looks much better than the comics Batrock.
The cgi and fight sequences do not disappoint Plenty of hand to hand combat, car chases, explosions and high flying action. I saw it in imax 3d and loved the crisp visuals. However 3d wasn't as prominent as some of the better action movies.
I've been a harsh critic of Marvel in the past. The bar was set high with Iron man 1 and nothing else lived up to it. As much as I enjoyed Avengers and Iron man 3, those movies insulted my intelligence. One had no plot the other completely misrepresented itself in trailers. Sure they both had witty one liners and mind blowing action but I left theater feeling empty.
Captain America: Winter Soldier is exactly what I went in expecting, if not more. A film that tells a great story while developing its character's. All the elements you want in a blockbuster movie are here. Its fun, action packed and well written. By far the most ambitious and adult of Marvels titles.
By taking creative liberties from classic comic storylines "Winter Soldier" and "CivilWar." Mixing in some espionage with political themes that parallel today's world. All while maintaining the light hearted core we've come to expect. Its quite the balancing act. In fact if Cap wasn't running around in tights you might forget this was a comic book film.
In the end Marvel gave us their most complete movie, setting a new bar.
Roll credits and enter…
Bonus scenes
Stick around after credits for not one but two extra scenes. First we get a look at Lokis Scepter . Followed by a look at two caged twins Scarlett Witch & Quicksilver The children of Magneto. Yes the bad guy from the X-Men movies had kids. They look creepy and awesome!
Second scene shows us Winter Soldier at Caps exhibition in museum, learning more about his true identity "Bucky". These clips are setting us up for Avengers Sequel and Cap 3. "The twins" are confirmed for Avengers Sequel.
Honorable mention goes to Dr. Strange for being mentioned by name. Possibly alluding to his movie entrance soon. Is Johnny Depp available? One things certain with Avengers 2 already filming and Marvel studio's claim to have their movie blueprint set until 2028. The future is bright for superhero fans.

Mark Levin exposes traitors to Amerika!
Reveals the names of high-level political criminals to Sean Hannity.
NEW YORK (PNN) - February 6, 2018 - Political expert and former Reagan official Mark Levin is a rising star in the conservative political world - and his appearance on Sean Hannity's show Monday may have been the most powerful bit of news in years.
Levin reveals to the Hannity viewers the simple truth the mainstream media is ignoring: Hillary Clinton effectively "paid for a warrant" to wiretap her political opponent - Donald Trump - in the 2016 presidential election.
His delivery left viewers with goosebumps.
It wasn't just Hillary either. There are clear links to former illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama's regime as well, Levin says. He goes on to point out that this makes it clear why Rep. Adam Schiff (Kalif.) and the "Democrat media" are fighting so hard to squash the story.
"Hillary Clinton colluded with the Russians. But it appears the FBI colluded with the Russians, too. Whether it was witting or unwitting, it doesn't matter." Levin said. "That's a fact. So the senior level of the FBI tried to interfere with this election as well."
Levin said the investigation into Russian collusion "transition[ed] from a counter-intelligence investigation to a criminal investigation when [former FBI Director James] Comey, of all things, confesses to being a leaker," Levin said.
"Why would the Russians want Donald Trump to be president when they could get everything they want from Hillary Clinton?" he later pointed out.

North Central Section. The North Central Section of the AAC continues to make progress toward having more communication, camaraderie, and interaction within the Club. Major projects for 2005 included further work developing a Section web site, clean-up days at two areas, and further communication with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources regarding closed areas at the most popular climbing destination in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. A small social was held at an indoor climbing gym and restaurant in Stillwater, Minnesota, in October.
As background, Inter-State State Park lies along the St Croix River bordering Minnesota and Wisconsin. Because of the river valley, the geological formations are spectacular. The routed climbs vary from 5.3 to 5.12 and are about 50 feet long. In July 2001 there was a large rockfall that necessitated closing 40 percent of the Minnesota side. The North Central Section continues to work with the DNR to point out the closed areas as well as plan for the possible re-opening of part of the area. In addition we had a garbage pick-up day at the park in June. With five members in attendance, the day included some climbing and a barbeque, along with a meeting with the State Park staff. The Section was also represented at a clean-up day in July at Blue Mounds State Park in Luverne, Minnesota, on the border with South Dakota. This area has had a big increase in the number of climber visits over the past five years. It is small and there was a little garbage, but a fun day was had by eight of our members.

Customers of large UK ISP Plusnet have experienced a morning of disruption after a maintenance upgrade slowed web browsing to a crawl for many.
"We are currently investigating a problem that has arisen during maintenance of our traffic management platform. Customers will likely experience slower speeds than normal due to being assigned a default profile," read a message from Plusnet customer support.
Starting around 8.30am on 2 February, many users were forced to cope with modem-level speeds that could barely web load pages, leading to a stream of complaints on Twitter. At one point the company's website went down.
By 2pm, web throughput was apparently back to normal although the cause of the problem remained unresolved.
"Our engineers have applied a temporary solution and many customers are reporting that they are seeing speeds improve. We are continuing to investigate the root cause and will update this service status once we have more information," said PlusNet support.
BT-owned Plusnet enjoys a reasonable reputation among its users, some way ahead of rivals such as Talk Talk which Ofcom recently named as the most complained about broadband company in the UK.
In October, Virgin Media went dark for customers in several Fife towns after rats repeatedly chewed through data cables.

Automate Migrating ESX Host Interfaces to Nexus 1000V
"We've tried, it can't be automated!" I've heard this more times than I can keep track of and if you read my previous blog you will know that I just do not agree. I have written about automation with Linux utilities, UCS PowerTool, AutoHotKey, Excel, etc… 99.999% of operations can be automated. So when a customer tells me that something cannot be automated I usually respond with "Have you tried …?"
Here is the scenario; the customer has an automated build process for ESX hosts. At the point where the host is ready to be connected to the Nexus 1000V the process becomes manual. The customer would like to use VMWare PowerCLI to migrate the host interface but the Cmdlet to retrieve Distributed Virtual Switches, Get-VirtualSwitch, just returns the DVS objects, there isn't a Cmdlet to migrate the ESX vmnic interface.
Hold on a second, I know that VCenter knows about the Nexus 1000V because I see it in the interface. I know that VCenter can manipulate the Nexus 1000V because VCenter is where interface migration is done. I am fairly certain at this point that ESX interface migration from the VCenter vSwitch to the Nexus 1000V can be automated. But what to use to do it, there is no PowerCLI command like Set-ESXHostInterfaceToN1kv. This is typically where automation ends for many, sometimes you have to dive deep into the objects that the system manages and figure out what to do. Sometimes someone has already done a deep dive into something like what you are trying to do and maybe you can build off of their work.
In this instance I used the work shown here, http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/09/dvswitch-scripting-part-1-creation, it's a blog about migrating from the VMWare vswitch to the VMWare Distributed Virtual Switch. I thought as I read it, that there could be something here that I can work with. I poked around a bit and tested some ideas and this is what I came up with, Set-EsxVmNic.ps1

John, Here is the working funciton (modified) It adds the UplinkKey paramater. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------ function Add-dvSwHost{ param($dvSwitch, $hostMoRef, $pnic, $nrUplink,$UplinkKey) $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.DVSConfigSpec $tgthost = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberConfigSpec $tgthost.operation = "add" $tgthost.backing = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberPnicBacking 0..($nrUplink - 1) | % { $tgthost.Backing.PnicSpec += New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberPnicSpec $tgthost.Backing.PnicSpec[$_].pnicDevice = $pnic[$_] $tgthost.Backing.PnicSpec[$_].UplinkPortGroupKey = $UplinkKey } $tgthost.host = $hostMoRef $spec.Host = $tgthost $dvSwitch.UpdateViewData() $spec.ConfigVersion = $dvSwitch.Config.ConfigVersion $taskMoRef = $dvSwitch.ReconfigureDvs_Task($spec) $task = Get-View $taskMoRef while("running","queued" -contains $task.Info.State){ $task.UpdateViewData("Info") } }
John McDonough
The DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberPnicSpec object allows for the attributes UplinkPortgroupKey UplinkPortKey So you should be able to select the UplinkPortgroup perhaps even the specific port within that group, if it makes sense to do that. However I have not tried this but will update my lab and give it a shot and comment with my results. The object reference is located here, http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.dvs.HostMember.PnicSpec.html I would recommend reading all of lucd's blogs, http://www.lucd.info/ there is in depth information in them on networking and adpaters as well as other things. Regards, John

Thanks, John. Yes, I have read through all of LucD's logs on dVs scripting. However, there is currently nothing that supports adding a Nexus 1000V with a specific uplink name. Hopefully you are able to do so in your lab tests. Thanks, JD
how about the function listed here.. http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/09/dvswitch-scripting-part-1-creation/ function Add-dvSwHost This will add the host to the Nexus 1000V but you are unable to specify an uplink for your pnic to use. Anyway to add this in?

27 Sep Bravo, Maitane, Bravo! NC's GK named Soccer POTW
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Navarro freshman goalkeeper Maitane Bravo on Wednesday was selected as the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I Women's Soccer Player of the Week.
Bravo was recognized for her work September 20-26 in the Bulldogs' Region XIV shutout victories at Northeast Texas (2-0) and at Paris (9-0) . Unbeaten Bravo recorded her sixth shutout and her eighth win of the season.
With a strong defense in front of her, Bravo ranks second among NJCAA Division I goaltenders with six shutouts. She's yielded only three goals all season, just one in her last four matches.
She is the first Navarro athlete to be honored with a NJCAA weekly award since soccer's Deneisha Blackwood last season. Blackwood was selected after an early September week in which she scored seven goals and dished out five assists during non-conference wins over Hill and Cisco.

Posted by Tree In A Box on September 04, 2017
Nothing quite compares to the wonder and awe of nature's beauty. The Tree In A Box family was fortunate enough to recently take a trip to Oregon to visit Crate Lake. We were able to take in the stunning views of this National Park. It is truly amazing that we are lucky enough to have these natural wonders to enjoy and feel that it is our responsibility to keep them pristine for future generations to enjoy.
It is incredible to think that this beautiful lake was created by one of the largest volcanic explosions in history. Mt. Mazama exploded 7,700 years ago, collapsed on itself, and created the caldera that has been filled with rain and snow melt creating one of the most stunning lakes I have seen. The deep blue color is a sight to see and the history of the creation of Crater Lake and Wizard island is one that is sure to peak interest from even younger children. You can read more about its history here.
Have you visited Crater Lake or other National Parks recently? Share your photos of Crater Lake or photos of the most beautiful places you have visited this summer. We would love to see where you have been and perhaps it may encourage us or others to seek out those places or similar places and enjoy what nature has to offer. Nature in all its splendor is almost impossible to beat; the sights, smells and sounds are something everyone should experience.

Duplo and Tangled • Summer Holiday Project 2016 #10
We have an indoor day because of thr horrible weather as usual. We only ventured out for shopping which I did first thing so we could enjoy the day.
So the day started with the usual morning housework, folding, making beds and a general tidy and clean. Whilst doing this Lil's was making a city out of Duplo in her room. Below are two pictures of her creations.
During the rest of the morning and after lunch we played with her magnetic wooden dolls and also her babies. She is still 100% obsessed with babies and sorting them out and taking them to the park (out hallway).
The rest if the afternoon was watching tangled and editing. This is one of my favourite films at the moment and Lil's seems to really enjoy it too, we even have the story CD in my car.
We haven't had a great adventurous day but some days are just lovely spent indoors relaxing and enjoying each others company.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - On the second and final day of the Bruno Fall Classic on Sunday afternoon, hosted by Brown University, the MIT water polo team fell to Stanford University with a score of 23-5. After having lost to UC Irvine with a score of 19-2 and winning against Washington & Jefferson with a score of 19-8, the Engineers wrapped up the weekend with a record of 1-2.
Senior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) scored MIT's first goal, getting Tech on the scoreboard early in the first quarter. After being held to zero goals during the next period, two Engineers were able to sneak the ball past the goalkeeper in the third quarter. Sophomore Ory Tasman (Orlando, Fla.), who ended his first collegiate season last year in second place on the team for goals scored with 64, tallied a goal and was soon followed by classmate Matthew Orton (Los Altos Hills, Calif.) scoring his first goal of the season.
In the fourth period, freshman Zach Churukian (Menlo Park, Calif.) and sophomore Sam Edson (Seal Beach, Calif.) added two more goals to MIT's final score. The game ended with a Stanford win of 23-5.
MIT will return to Brown University next weekend, this time for the Bruno Fall Invitational that will take place from Saturday through Sunday, Sept. 14-15. The Engineers will first face the University of the Pacific at 9:15 a.m. on Saturday.

Seriously. Am I being tested?
Does someone up there want to see how much I can handle?
If so, I say BRING IT ON!
Today I am dealing with a flat tire on the van...pretty isn't it?
I am also dealing with a leaky bathtub faucet...which we found out was leaking because the ceiling in our living room started to drip. The ceiling is now water logged and that corner will need to be replaced. And before you ask...No, we didn't see a watermark on the ceiling! You see when we moved in there was a watermark from a previous bathtub leak that was fixed. We painted the ceiling with Zinsser Stain Killer Primer and let me tell you...that stuff works. It covered everything including the new leak. UGH!
They say when trouble comes, it comes in threes. Well. I also broke a nail down to the flesh. It didn't bleed but you can see it wanted to and it hurts really, really bad! And of course it's the thumb on my right hand...and I'm right handed so I use that hand a lot. Sadness.
I am hoping that's all the trouble that will be thrown my way this week because if that's what you've got, then I can handle it! Even though all of the above stinks, I'm trying to look on the bright side. First and foremost, we are all healthy, happy and together. Secondly, the tire can be replaced (I needed two new back ones anyway). Thirdly, the faucet and ceiling can be repaired. Actually, I've been on the fence about repainting the living room so now my decision has been made for me. I'll plan that for a fun fall project. Also, since the water dripped onto my silk tree (yes, I still have silk!), I took it outside to clean it which caused a domino effect and now all my silk greenery is pretty again! And lastly, I'll trim my other nails so my little nubby thumb nail won't look like a runt and with shorter nails I'll be able to type faster so I can blog more! :)
See. It's not all so bad when you break it down! Me freaking out would just make it worse and I would still have a flat tire, leaky faucet, water logged ceiling and a broken nail! So what would be the point?!?
Have Fun!

Our Perspectives
UNDP'S new Strategic Plan is a chance to rethink and refocus
28 Aug 2017 by Joseph D'Cruz, Senior Advisor on Strategy and Planning, UNDP
On a Wednesday morning in late June, I got an email from HQ requesting that I come to New York from Bangkok to help with the drafting of UNDP's new Strategic Plan. I said yes, of course. The email was followed by a phone call asking if I could come as soon as possible. The span of time between my receiving the email and boarding a plane was four days.
I keep this in mind as I work with the team crafting the document that will guide UNDP's work over the next four years. There are many instances when UNDP is called on respond quickly to problems and challenges our clients face. It is part of our DNA that we do so whenever and wherever we are needed.
This was demonstrated again when we asked staff all over the world to share their thoughts on our future direction. Without missing a beat, they've stepped up to the challenge of helping to quickly rethink our vision and strategy for the organization.
In terms of the overall framing, the Strategic Plan will make clear that UNDP's primary objective is to support countries in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In terms of how to do this, we think it's important to hear from as broad a range of people as possible. We are setting up opportunities for staff to provide input, and we're already getting a tremendous response.
I want to share some of the ideas that have been mentioned repeatedly by staff in our teams all around the world. They highlight three dimensions of our work that will be emphasized in the Strategic Plan.
- Our extensive network is our greatest strength.
One of the things we try to do in the new Strategic Plan is to talk directly about the importance and value of our network, not just for UNDP but for the whole UN Development System and for our partners. Part of this is our substantive expertise on various issues covered in the Sustainable Development Goals: our work on poverty, governance, resilience and climate, gender, etc. But the second part, just as importantly, is the tremendous value we provide as a result of our physical network and presence: our country offices, our infrastructure, our local knowledge and our presence on the ground.
This is in many ways the deepest asset that UNDP has: being on the ground, working side-by-side with governments and communities and, as a result, understanding the issues and challenges they face. The revised plan will try to speak very clearly about how this capacity provides us with a platform through which the UN system and other partners can help countries achieve the 2030 Agenda.
- UNDP has experience and expertise in a range of contexts.
If you go back 20 or 30 years, most developing countries were more similar to each other. Today, as a result of quite successful development in many places, the majority of our programme countries have reached middle income status. Yet they still face development challenges that they want UNDP to help them address.
But the kind of challenges they face and the kind of solutions they are looking for are quite different from the countries that are still struggling to eradicate basic poverty and put in place basic systems of government. We're trying to make clearer to our partners and our constituencies the range of contexts in which UNDP operates and the kind of solutions UNDP needs to provide for these different contexts.
- UNDP helps bridge emergency aid and development.
The third context we address in the Strategic Plan is crisis and conflict. This is an area where we are increasingly called upon to act, and we want to communicate how UNDP helps countries and communities come out of crisis or conflict and move back into stable, sustainable development, which is our core mandate.
The new Strategic Plan will frame the work we do around these three broad themes to better explain how UNDP actually works. The input from staff has been invaluable, because UNDP is at a point where we need to seriously reexamine how we approach the work we do. Just last year, UNDP celebrated its 50th anniversary. And in some respects, we've been working with the same structures and similar approaches that we were using 30 or 40 years ago.
Meanwhile the world of development has changed around us. Our programme countries have made tremendous progress. The kinds of issues we're dealing with in the 2030 Agenda are much broader and more complex than the work we were doing years ago.
We see the Strategic Plan as an opportunity to recalibrate. As we develop the details further, we'll continue to deepen our outreach. The Administrator has tasked the Strategic Plan team to make sure we get robust feedback, and we've taken that directive to heart.
We're trying very hard to make sure that everybody in the organization has a chance to contribute to the development of the Strategic Plan. Outside of UNDP, there's also been extensive engagement. We've had fruitful discussions with partner UN agencies and with Member States through our Executive Board. This is extremely important to make sure that what we are developing resonates with Member States and with our programme countries.
This broad consultation will undoubtedly result in a stronger Strategic Plan, one that all stakeholders can get behind. It's been challenging because of the very limited time we have and the many competing commitments and priorities staff face. But at the same time, it's important to recognize that the plan itself is just a vision and a strategy.
The real challenge, and the real opportunity for staff to contribute, will come as we flesh out how we implement the vision, and that is work that will continue for many months after the plan itself is approved. It's an exciting opportunity for us to collectively rethink and refocus what UNDP does on the ground and try to make it the kind of organization we all know and believe it can be.

Activity 1B: Background: World War I & Russian Revolution
Students will review basic facts about the U.S. involvement in World War I
Standard: Strand 1- American History
Grade 7
Concept 7: Emergence of the Modern U.S.
PO 13. Describe important events associated with World War I :
a. anti-German feelings in the United States
High School: Strand 1 - American History
Concept 7: Emergence of the Modern U.S.
PO 3. Analyze events which caused a transformation of the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
f: World War I
g: Red Scare/Socialism
High School: Strand 2- World History
Concept 8: World at War
PO 1. Examine the causes of World War I
PO 3. World War I and its aftermath:
a. Russian Revolution
If students have not studied World War I, they will need some background information about why the U.S. entered the war. They will also need information about the reaction of the United States to the Russian Revolution and what impact both of these major historic events had upon the 1917 copper strikes in Arizona.
The following activities can be completed in two class sessions and provide students with basic information.
1. Have students read America's Turn From Neutrality to Intervention, 1914-1917 by Michael E. Hanlon and list the reasons the U.S. entered World War I. (This was published in Relevance: The Quarterly Journal of the Great War Society, Vol 1, no. 2, Spring 1992)
2. Students will list the reasons why the U.S. entered the war according to the following categories: German military actions, allied propaganda, liberal thinking, business interests, labor interests, President Wilson's change, and the Russian Revolution.
3. Have students read The Red Scare by Paul Burnett. Discuss how fear affects behavior, e.g. calling frankfurters "hot dogs" and the German's "Huns." Why do people react this way? Can the students think of other occasions where Americans has reacted in a similar way?
4. Discuss with students how the entrance to the war made copper an important mineral needed for munitions and other war related products. Business and mining found it profitable to create products for the war effort - business and labor income increased but the working man's wages did not increase at the same rate. Radical labor groups viewed the war as only benefiting the wealthy and protested war efforts.

LAWD JESUS IM OFF!!!! I thought I was going to have a sleep in… Didn't happen. Im not tripping though because IM OFF!!!! Im going to spend my day doing paddle board yoga, eating and zoning out and maybe some shopping. I hate shopping though. When I say shopping that means I walked into a place and came across something that I liked… which means it was a bag. That means its still there and that Im going back to that exact store, to that exact spot and grabbing that exact bag. I hate shopping. Tomorrow I want to try surfing but I also want to go to Martha's Vinyard because I have never been and should probably check it out at some point. Decisions decisions. I am now sitting in a coffee shop full of white people who are randomly staring at me while trying to look like they aren't staring at me.
You ever have those days were you wonder why you are where you are?? I know this is a complete shift but IM OFF so I have time to ponder the universe and God. I promise Im not high… Not going to lie though, I have had days where I wish I were. But seriously I have been like "Why am I here?? Why was I created?? Why would I be brought into this crap called "the world" Am I really making a difference?? Am I really producing change?? Am I touching lives and leaving a positive impact?? Is it even really about me?? Or is someone supposed to make a difference in my life?? But then Ive still made it all about me? So basically if is you thats supposed to make a difference or someone thats supposed to make a difference in your life… Its still about you. Which makes all of us really freaking selfish on some level.

Byron does everything. To be honest when we set the time for 6p to meet I was expecting him not to show up until 7:30p as the general idea I have of Byron is that he's probably working on something. (For the record he was on time.) His goal in life seems to be to produce things that make people laugh, make them think, and to tell stories that matter.
A: A lot of people know of you from your contributions to the projects you've worked on. Do you think that getting out there is something that came to you naturally?
B: I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma where I was going to know all of these same people until I fucking died, and then I moved to Wichita when I was 14. It's summer and I have no friends. I'd hang out at the house and play video games, listen to that new Prodigy album - yeah, that's how old I am - I didn't know anyone or have a way to get to places. I didn't have to introduce myself to anyone until I moved to Wichita because clearly no one at North High knew who I was. So I had to, you know, figure out how to say my name. Most of the time I meet people I'm pretty nervous because there's a part of me that's still that kid. It wasn't like 'Oh that's Zeke's kid', I had to actually tell people who I was and it was the first time I ever felt anxiety because I was just this giant kid like - 'oh man, what if I squish 'em?!' - or something. So I had to find ways to incorporate myself into different things just to make friends. I met this guy who was a skateboarder - I inline skated - so I was like, 'hey man, what if we take pictures of us rollin' around and then you could show your friends because I don't have those.' So I just keep reapplying that same idea it to different stuff.
A:I keep seeing this video project on your facebook, Fock's News? What is that project and how did it get started?
B: Byron J Fock of Fock's News - Essentially it's how to out Fox, Fox News. So Wynn Ponder (ninja edit: Wynn Ponder not Ian Blume is associated with Fock's News) and I joked when Antonin Scalia died that Obama did it, and then the next week Fox News was like 'we're doing the autopsy and it looks suspicious, might've been a hit'. We were like shit, we've figured out Fox News! We went so crazy, we figured out how to think like Fox News! It's not that we're against republicans or conservatives, but there's this very finite group that instead of listening to actual facts, will listen to anything.
What we wanted to do was throw these kinds of people a curve ball where it's a black dude saying the kind of shit that Bill O'Reilly would. So if you're in on the joke you appreciate for the tongue and cheek aspect of it.
A: It seems like you get yourself into a lot other people's projects. What are you doing for yourself?
B:There's a little piece of me of everything I do. Really - for myself though I do a lot of weird music just at the house. With the internet happening and being able to record stuff at home I've been doing projects like that where it's just me. I do have this multimedia band thing I want to do, later, like 10 years from now. It's like the Gorillaz but Not The Gorillaz. Which means I have to figure out how to assemble it so it'll go on the road. With this super project I've got this plan that it's not like a band, but is a whole elaborate theatrical show. I think one of the best things about Wichita is that it's great for testing things. I want to figure out how to pull off the super project and then shove it all in a car and take it other places.
Though I already do it - sorta - with my live show. I play all these songs and put them into this story arc. It starts on New Years Eve where this guy is getting totally dumped in his apartment, so I play the break up song and then this guy is like 'dude we should go to this party' so I play the New Years song. So then I keep going in the relationship and arrange the songs depending on how I feel about it. Equal Parts is the sad song, it's like his nightmare of what will happen if he doesn't go get her. Arranging everything that way is a lot like how a movie is written.
A:You don't play a lot of your solo stuff much anymore, right?
B:That whole part is done. I finished the song Architects back in November. I get bored so I'd change the story to give me a chance to interact with audience. I'll have them give me names of a guy and girl and then play out this story musically. At the end though, there's always the ambiguous question 'did she leave you honey? Maybe you shoulda tried harder.' I thought I could do this in a bigger arena. That's the future project, and pulling in visual stuff.
A: What is it that drives you to do all these projects?
B: I do it all for the ladies! I want to have an impressive resume and not a lot of time to hang out with them! It's not really working. I am currently single and thanks to a research study last year I am now on Plenty of Fish, OkCupid and Tinder. I also can't do all of this when I'm dead. I have, I guess, a fear of my own mortality. Which I didn't really know about when I was 17, it was like "oh you're gonna die, no big deal," but at some point it dawned on me. So I figured at least while I'm here I should do something. It helps that I don't have the capacity for regret and I get that everything is always in flux and I can only make so many decisions. It also gives me something to do and a way to slip into things that I wouldn't naturally be doing. I get to meet people and get to know the town. It makes me feel like I'm doing something. I have to make myself get out and do things. If I just sat at home I'd be entertained for a bit, but after awhile it'd just be...sad. I do love my alone time probably because I'm so busy, but if I wasn't I'd just be at home. Humanity is weird and human existence is a lot for us to really think about. How we have to figure out ways we matter but also don't matter. Really though, whether or not we affect the universe, we do effect each other. It's something I always keep in my head. If you piss someone off it's likely you're going to see them or even some one like them again, so I try to be nice to people.
You can follow Byron on Facebook to stay up to date with him on his latest projects and other hilarity or stop by KMUW in OldTown with your pledge and a hello!

The live-action version of the popular anime was beset by controversy nearly a year before the film came out with the casting of Scarlett Johansson as Motoko Kusanagi aka Major. I went into the film with pretty low expectations after reading several articles and lots of posts about the controversy and the issue of whitewashing in films and found the film to be interesting visually but mediocre overall. Some of the action was entertaining but nothing that stands out that couldn't be seen in a more intelligent film and no great plot or philosophy to help propel the story along.
Major is a rebuilt human from just a brain and sent to work for a government anti-terrorism unit called Section 9. There is some back story delivered by Dr. Ouelet (Juliette Binoche) about how her family was murdered by terrorists on a refugee boat that drives her to hunt down criminals. Her most recent assignment is to attack the hacker Kuze (Michael Pitt) who uses some cool looking Geisha robots to attack a leader of the Hanka corporation, the same corporation that built Major and sold her to the government.
Assisting Major with the hunt is Batou (Pilou Asbæk) and we see how he gets those iconic eyes. He is the only character I remember from a viewing from over a decade ago of the cartoon. Scenes are copied and pasted from the original cartoon with some awe-inspiring set design but significant changes from the story. What I picked up from half-paying attention to the anime was that the Puppet Master, a name never used in this movie, became conscious from technology and was minds for a different reason. There were questions of what it means to be human, this adaptation takes a much simpler approach.
The leader of Major's unit is Aramaki (Takeshi Kitano) who only speaks in Japanese. The setting in Japanese and plenty of the extra characters that add to the incongruency of the white main cast members marching around the city, shooting guns and speaking English. Not that I mind it much but the only real reason for the casting mishap seems to be to take any excuse to get Scarlett in skin tight outfits. All the special effects were dazzling but with a PG-13 rating they never can quite show the grotesque nature of the new body modification technology and the violence of the unit leaving the Luddite message not as effective.
Ghost in the Shell feels like a huge wasted opportunity on so many levels and only accomplished pissing off a large group of people for what looks like it'll be a flop. The theater I saw it in was nearly empty on a Friday night but who knows if it will find success elsewhere. I was aware of the cult status before the live-action adaptation was announced and I'm always into new science fiction but these days creators need to be more aware of the changes in culture. I doubt there will be a sequel but I've heard the anime sequel is pretty cool.

1952 TOPPS Baseball Cards
Vic Raschi
(The Springfield Rifle)
Click on Card to see Back
Vic Raschi was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts and
was known as "The Springfield rifle".
Signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1941. A 21 game winner for three consecutive years, 1949, 1950 & 1951.
Became a part of one of the most feared pitching rotations in baseball history when teamed with Ed Lopat and Allie Reynolds.
Vic was never featured in a Topps card as he had an exclusive contract with Bowman, in which he appeared through and including the 1955 year.
