If you can bring it on a plane, it's been lost
When it comes to air travel, Americans have lost it.
From cellphones to prosthetic limbs, passengers have a habit of leaving everything imaginable behind on airplanes and at airports. Both Milwaukee's Mitchell International and its dominant carrier, Southwest Airlines, have put systems in place to try to reunite lost items with their owners.
"It really is mind-boggling the amount of things that are coming through," said Robert Lehr, manager of central baggage services for Southwest. "The volumes are just staggering.
"Basically, if you can carry it on a plane, it's been left on a plane."
And during the holidays - the busiest travel time of the year, when airports and airplanes are packed with stressed people - it stands to reason that even more stuff shows up on the lost and found pile.
But it's not just air travel. People tend to lose more items in December than at any other time of the year, according to survey numbers released this month by electronic data backup firm Mozy.
"The times when people are busy and moving around a lot cause peaks in loss, so it may come as no surprise that 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays in December are relatively disastrous when it comes to hanging on to your things," Mozy said in a statement announcing the survey results.
Forgetfulness has its price
Anecdotal evidence would seem to back that up.
On Dec. 14, Southwest had 28 Apple iPad tablet computers turned in to lost and founds across its flight system, Lehr said. It flies about 3,800 flights a day in the U.S.
The Mozy survey showed 39.5% of Americans lose two or more belongings a year. The survey also showed the average person in the U.S. misplaced nearly $250 worth of possessions in the past 12 months. That adds up to more than $30 billion of lost property in the U.S. this year.
While December is ground zero, the tendency to lose things is year-round.
Southwest typically gets 10,000 to 13,000 items turned in to lost and found every month. That's 120,000 to 156,000 items a year. The airline has a warehouse devoted to nothing but storing and cataloging things that have been left on its airplanes.
"By and large, it's mostly electronic items," Lehr said. "We get tons of cellphones."
It's not just high-end electronics that are left behind, though.
"Reading glasses we just get thousands of, just crazy amounts," Lehr said.
Seat back pockets are the black holes of aircraft. All sorts of things are left behind in those pouches. It's so bad that Southwest has adopted see-through plastic mesh for seat back pockets as part of the redesign of its aircraft interiors, Lehr said.
Travelers aren't just leaving things on airplanes.
Mitchell International sees thousands of items that are left behind by travelers each year. The airport has a team of volunteers who deal with lost and found items at the airport.
The list of items left behind is long and ranges from mundane (paperback books) to head-scratching (oxygen tanks).
Anything dangerous or suspicious - bags with no luggage tags that are left in a gate area, for example - is handled by Milwaukee County sheriff's office deputies. Items that have a value of $100 or more and all electronic devices also are turned over to sheriff's deputies. The airport is owned and operated by Milwaukee County.
In the six months ended Dec. 1, volunteers logged 924 lost items at Mitchell.
The airport follows a written policy, based on a state law, regarding how to handle things lost at the airport.
Things that are not claimed or for whom the owner can't be found are sold at a sheriff's sale. The sheriff's office also has a contract for some items of value, such as jewelry, to be sent for sale to www.propertyroom.com, said Fran McLaughlin, sheriff's office public information officer.
Lost and found items at the airport include sunglasses - cheap, designer and prescription - jewelry, clothing, car seats, strollers, mittens, gloves, credit cards, passports and car keys.
There also have been foam cheeseheads, wheelchairs, crutches, garage door openers and can openers.
Remember to breathe
Volunteers are often left to wonder how folks managed to continue on their journey without their crutches, wheelchairs or oxygen tanks. Those mysteries remain unsolved. (A local bottled-gas company ended up with the oxygen tanks when they weren't claimed by anyone.)
The same goes for Southwest. "A prosthetic leg was left on a plane," Lehr said. "A prosthetic limb, we would think they'd want it back pretty badly."
Jacki Servi Margis, chairperson for the Travelers' Aid Board, a self-governing volunteer organization that staffs a kiosk at the airport and handles lost and found, said volunteers often become detectives when trying to find owners of lost property.
"The volunteers go above and beyond," she said.
Southwest has a team of employees who do nothing but handle lost and found items.
The airline sees the effort as part of its overall customer service mission, Lehr said.
"These are people's possessions and someone had that pit-of-the-stomach feeling with every one of these things," Lehr said. "We have to do everything we can to get the items back to their owners.
"We have worked very hard at this."
Worldwide, fewer than half of lost items are ever recovered, according to the Mozy survey.
For a lot of things, their owners never even try to claim them.
The rate of people calling to claim lost items at Mitchell International is about 32% to 36%, Servi Margis said.
Most loss comes down to human error. Just 18% of the things reported lost in the survey were stolen, with most people stating that their own distraction or forgetfulness was to blame for losing their belongings.
The best way to make sure you get your items back is to label them.
"Every electronic device I own, there are (identification) stickers all over them," Servi Margis said.
"We see a lot of folks these days who are taping their business card on the back of their iPad," Lehr said.
Since implementing the computerized matching system, Southwest's lost and found return rate has soared 500%, Lehr said.
"It's a really sophisticated system and it is working just awesome for us," Lehr said. "It has exceeded our wildest expectations.
"We get tons of positive customer feedback. That kind of feedback from our customers is really what drives us to do this, knowing that we are doing the right thing by them."
The top five things people are most upset to lose
- Bank card
- Laptop
- Smartphone
- Wallet/purse
Mozy surveyed 3,500 people in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, France and Germany regarding their experience of losing and finding items.
Top 10 things that go missing:
- Smartphone
- Jewelry
- Sunglasses
- Keys
- Bank/credit card
- Clothing
- Umbrella
- Purse/wallet
- Paperwork

The Northern District of Illinois recently granted a motion to strike class allegations prior to class discovery. Plaintiff mortgagor alleged, inter alia, that in foreclosure proceedings, defendants engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") and Illinois Consumer Fraud Act ("ICFA") by entering and possessing his and putative class members' homes before the mortgagee had legal possession of the properties.
In granting the motion to strike, the court reasoned that the surviving ICFA claim required individual inquiries into each class member's circumstances to determine the answer to such questions as what harm occurred, whether the property was entered before the mortgagee obtained possession, whether any action was authorized by law or contract, or whether any court orders were applicable. As such, the plaintiff failed to satisfy the commonality test of Rule 23(a)(2). The court also noted that certification under Rule 23(b)(2) would be inappropriate in any event, as plaintiff's requested relief related exclusively or predominantly to money damages as opposed to any threatened future conduct; thus, class members would have nothing to gain from an injunction. Alqaq v. CitiMortgage, Inc., No. 13-C-5130, slip op. (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2014)

Marketers are becoming more and more interested in measuring the ROI of social media. According to eMarketer four out of five US businesses with at least 100 employees will be using social media for their marketing efforts this year. This makes measuring the effects of these marketing efforts even more important.
Up to this point the top metric for social marketing success was site traffic, but more and more focus has been given to other values such as fans / followers and positive buzz.
Although only 15.4% of respondents to an eMarketer survey felt that Facebook had a significant ROI, this number is growing. Now is the perfect opportunity for your business to take advantage of the opportunities that social media offers for getting found by prospects and interacting with prospective customers. While other companies struggle with whether or not to participate you can be out in the trenches gathering fans and gaining evangelists.
One great way to do this is through a Facebook Page. These pages offer a venue for your fans to interact, participate in discussions regarding your business, and stay informed about the going ons at your company. Creating a Facebook Page is easy, but before you do, take a look 20 companies I've compiled that have gotten a head start and find out how they are doing it right!

Skittles launched a "Win the Rainbow" contest asking its fans "what they would do for a Skittles vending machine," which garnered entries that racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube.
2. Zappos
The Zappos Fan Page has a great call to action that tells visitors exactly what they should be doing the first time they come to the site. They also have a "Fan of the Week" section where they ask fans to send in pictures of themselves posing with a Zappos box in the photo.

Best Buy's Fan Page lets you shop and read reviews from products right on Facebook. Not sure which flat screen tv you want to buy? Get feedback from their over 2.5 million fans so you don't make a bad decision.
10. Porsche
Porche has built its popularity on the style and elegance of its cars. Its Facebook Page capitalizes on this allowing you to flip through a number of their models and includes the ability to "start a web special" if one catches your eye. If their cars are a little out of your price range you can use the color styler to create a custom make and model and send it to a friend who, if you're lucky, might let you sit shot gun.
11. Kaplan SAT

Wednesday, May 4, 2011
From day one the search for the young untested future superstars was on, whatever instrument it was, he had to have the "unique" sound apart from the many other bands, that was the way it was as many who tried and failed to join the band found out.
For the preferred few with the raw intensity and reckless abandon of hungry warriors out to conquer the musical world lucky enough to be part of Cold War, the journey was both inspiring and rewarding, they found a deep and soul filled satisfaction of knowing that they were part of something great that will never be forgotten.
One of the band's maverick traits before performing anywhere was to meditate for one minute before they started to play, this allowed them to be at the next level of the group's soulful preparation..... that did not sit well with some in the crowd, but as always the audience was about to be stunned and surprised with the music explosion of their lives, the boos and hisses turned into cheers and applause as the band would proceeded to kick major music booty each and every time that they got on stage for a performance.
The band was offered a recording deal with M & M Records and Justo Sierra, the band's manager at the time declined to accept the same recording studio's terms that many of the other local bands were offered (like Coke and the Antiques) and thus killed the deal and hopes for the band's musical legacy. From the open houses to the many proms, dances produced and promoted by the group and sharing the stage with the likes of Johnnie Ventura, Fajardo y sus Estrellas, and many other top of the line performers, the countless telemarathons, weddings, 15's parties and the many weekends playing on the roof top by the pool of the Surfcomber Hotel in Miami Beach to overflowing and delighted crowds, Cold War was highly sought out and regarded by many as the best band in the south. Cold War consisted of band leader Richard Gonzalez (Kephas) on lead guitar and vocals, Alberto Acosta on bass and rhythm guitar, Phillip Alvarado, Ito Sargen and Albert Banos on drums, Hector Perez on bass, Alex Sanchez on keyboards, Jose Roque and Wolf on congas and Eli Perez on lead vocals. The journey however took a detour with the beginning of the disco era with Richard wanting to play a "more meaningful music" causing a major rift with some of the band members who wanted to play more modern top 40 dance selections thus putting a stop to Richard's vision of soulful originality.............so after one fateful practice full of arguments and disagreements, a meeting was called and Richard was voted out of the group, Jimmy Feliciano replaced Richard as it's lead guitarist and Albert Banos took control of the group and changed it's format to the new disco sounds for the new times, but this union did not last long as the band did not get any other gigs causing the collapse and end of Cold War.
But Richard was not to be denied and formed Illumination (1974/1978), this musical group consisted of band leader Richard Gonzalez (Kephas) on lead guitar and vocals, Albert Acosta on guitar and vocals, Adrian Garcia (RIP) on a sizzling bass, Sean Moore and Albert Banos on drums, Wolf and Ibrahim Munoz on congas, Anthony Fortuna on the keyboards, Eli Perez on lead vocals and Debbie Arch as back-up vocalist to complete the group.
Justo Sierra came back as manager of the new group for a short while as he was soon replaced by Pedro and Julia Padron who suggested to give the band a new look, adding a salsa blend to an already full musical repertoire, this move was thought to be necessary to enlarge the band's horizons, they also made it a point to reinvent Eli from a hard rocker to a crooner bolero style singer in which he quickly adapted and excelled with beautiful Spanish love songs that were simply amazing. The band's unique energy filled songs which included many original tunes were featured many times on the Channel 23 shows of Blanquita Amaro and Armando Rodriguez, getting many rave reviews was the band's original Spanish version of "Solo un Beso", the band's lead vocalist Eli Perez was also featured in the band's version of Armando Manzanero's Adoro, delighting the ladies and giving the band another musical dimension in it's arsenal for future venues.
Illumination went on to be one of six finalists amongst hundreds of other bands for the 1975's South Florida Y-100's Battle of the Bands, competing for a record deal with a major label, the group was told by some of the judges that they were the best and most original and were the heavy favorites to win it all, but politics and behind the scene deals ended that dream.
Illumination did not last much longer after that, a few of the members left the group to play the more popular dance tunes that were so much in demand in those days and formed "The Starfire Disco Band" featuring Albert Banos on drums, Anthony Fortuna on keyboards, Hector E. on congas, Albert Acosta on bass, Jimmy Feliciano on lead guitar and Eli and Debbie on vocals, they became a formidable duet where vocals and harmonies was more in demand in the new Disco Era.
The band played in Calle Ocho, The Wreck Bar in the Castaways, The Button on the Lauderdale strip and many other clubs, they recorded some original material and became a fixture in the club scene.
Richard (Kephas) continued with Illumination, along with Joe Soria on keyboards, Juan Carlos on rhythm guitar, Julio and Paco Rodriguez on bass, Freddy and Eloy Guanche on drums and Eddy Perez (RIP) on lead vocals. (Twin brothers Eddy and Eli had performed together earlier in their musical adventures for another Miami Open House Era Band "Blue Haze" in 1972)
Eddy (RIP) and Richard (Kephas) played many clubs in the Lauderdale strip together with Illumination, creating a great friendship between the two that lasted until Eddy's tragic car accident in March of 2003.
Richard (Kephas) Gonzalez continued playing under the banner of Illumination in the New York limelight for many years after and as of today he is still playing and recording his music (as Kephas), dedicating his deeply inspirational songs to God.
Although The Cold War and Illumination Bands did nor reach their expected goals, they were clearly ahead of their times, for they will forever live in the hearts and minds of the lucky few that saw this great band. This is our attempt to make things right and put both The Cold War and Illumination Bands where they belong, among the great 70's bands of the Miami Open House Era..........................

When I first met Justo, I was at playing open houses with my brother Eddy with Blue Haze, Justo must have seen one of our shows because he invited me to see his Band "Cold War" in a 15's party, at the time I was having problems with Blue Haze's musical direction and was open to a change. Well, the first song that Cold War played that night was Woman by Barabas, ( they had me at hello ) if they were trying to impress me it worked, they played like no other band that I have ever seen before and I knew that I had to be part of what I saw. I will forever be greatfull for them accepting me into this great band, the memories and the brilliance that I saw will always stay with me.....

What I did
Encountered a mama deer and her two fawns skipping across the trail and up the canyon. The last stretch was compared to a 20 story climb in altitude so we were suffering a little at the end (being the out of shape folk we are at the moment..) We reached the Pygmy forest of little pines, manzanita etc. (turns out we could have just driven to this part and not even paid...but there would be no glory in that) A very pretty trek overall.

AMARILLO, Texas (AP) An Interstate 40 traffic stop in the Texas Panhandle has yielded $2 million worth of methamphetamine hidden in the hefty spare tire of an SUV.
The Potter County Sheriff's Office in Amarillo on Monday announced the seizure of 42 pounds of methamphetamine and the arrest of the driver.
Deputies on Friday stopped an SUV and the driver gave officers permission to search the vehicle. Deputies found the spare tire seemed too dense. The truck was taken to an auto shop where the tire was removed and the meth was discovered.
Sheriff's officials say the driver was booked on a charge of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance.

The Black Toro
Although Brad lives out in Glen Waverley, we're often not out that way these days, since the university he's doing his PhD is close to my place, which is close to the city, where generally most of our socialising activity happens.
However a couple of weekends ago, we were going to spend a weekend out at his, since we had a friend's engagement party to go to around there. Which is wonderful let me say, but it's also kind of weird seeing friends get engaged and married off, especially since I'm so far away from taking that next big life step…or something like that.
Anyway, so it completely surprised me when Brad then suggested that we get dinner The Black Toro beforehand, somewhere I had been harping on about for ages, lusting over their famous deconstructed peanut butter cheesecake. I mean…Brad…make a suggestion? What is this?!
So it was with glee that I called them up and made the booking for a rather frosty Saturday night. My toes snap froze walking from the car to the restaurant!
Thankfully The Black Toro was a cosy little reprieve from the cold, where I sneakily snuck my toes out of my heels so that I could thaw them out (sshh, don't tell them)!
I loved the colourful mural, it's neat and tidy fit out, dark tables and black napkins (they look so much neater than white ones!) against the white walls…also, finally! A restaurant that's not afraid of their electricity bill, there's light!
The Black Toro is a surprising little addition to Kingsway in Glen Waverley, a little bit of Latin America in an ocean of Asian cuisine.
From the 'Poco Plates' selection, we started with crispy soft shell crab with buttermilk dressing and sriracha. Whilst the batter was a bit on the soft side and not really 'crispy' there was certainly a little crunch there, which was nice for a bit of texture and on a whole these were quite tasty. Honestly, it's a little hard to go too wrong with soft shell crab or sriarcha (if you ask me anyway!). Mmm, spicy!
Spicy pulled pork taco's with shredded cabbage and sour cream were a treat on the eye, with bright colours and lively garnishes, which translated to the palate in bright and zesty flavours. Loved the purple cabbage for a bit of crunch too! With the generous mounds of pulled pork, it was a slightly messy, but delicious affair!
The quesadilla with frijoles, smoked bacon and melted cheese came out lovely piping hot, crowned with a piece of crackling on each slice. The crackling? Mmmhmm. Perfectly crisp, light, like chicharron from the Philippines. And honestly, how can melted cheese go wrong? Really? My only wish is that this was a corn tortilla quesadilla, but my bad for not checking really.
For our mains, we went with the spicy video soap seca with roasted zucchini, black beans, salsa fresco and queso fresco. From the summary on the menu, we figured this was essentially a mexican noodle casserole.
This quite surprised me, with it's big flavours, it was quite spicy and peppery, but light as well. I hadn't really had anything like it (although I guess I haven't really had that much Mexican food either) and loved the great big dollops of queso fresco, which was a very creamy in texture but light on the palate cheese. Between the two of us, after all our little entrees, this was quite a feed!
I also could not resist ordering the triple cooked chips with paprika salt and garlic aioli, after our stint in the states…I was having potato withdrawals! I was a bit disappointed though that these weren't super duper crispy, as that's what I generally expect when the term triple cooked is thrown about. They did have the skin on them though, which added to the flavour and the garlic aioli was absolutely to die for.
As the waiter came over to clear our plates, I didn't even need to get the menu back to know what I wanted to order for dessert. This must be a common occurrence, as the waiter smiled knowingly when I asked if I could order dessert already.
It was time.
Time for a deconstructed peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate ice cream and honeycomb. Oh gym gods, I have sinned. Sinned so bad.
The chocolate ice-cream was dense with a lovely and full dark chocolate flavour, it seemed softer and creamier than ice-cream even, I would have said it was like a mousse. Surprisingly, it was lighter than it's peanut butter counterpart which hit you hard. Real hard. But it was good. A thick rich glob of creamy peanut butter that you just had to slowly roll around your mouth, one because that's the best way to enjoy it, and two, because it's so darned dense, good luck to you to get it down any faster!
The honeycomb gave a nice crunch, and gave a bit of lightness. I really couldn't imagine ordering one dessert each…Brad and I just managed to get it down between the two of us!
Whilst I have seen reviews that have said service has been a bit slow at the Black Toro, on this particular night, I didn't notice so much of that, but maybe because we were in the 6pm seating and they needed to make sure they got us out by 8:15? Drinks and food were all brought out quite promptly, and staff were efficient, but also quite friendly, it felt naturally speedy rather than rushed.
Brad and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Black Toro and left with comfortably warm bellies, at a price I thought was quite reasonable. For all the food above, plus a drink each, it all came to under $100. Maybe if we had chosen a meaty main it would have been a bit more, but looking at the chicken on the table next to us…well…I was glad we hadn't. It was huge!
The Black Toro is a little, but welcome surprise and I'm sure if I was actually a local I would have popped by much earlier…and returned many more times….after all that frozen nutella parfait dessert with broken tres leches cake is surely calling my name….

You think it's weird and far off? Babe. Think about we who are tremendously single.
That aside, oh my heavens that cheesecake. THAT CHEESECAKE.mmmmmmmmm....I do love Black Toro, and love having it as my local. Must organise to go back soon.
ReplyDeleteWe tried to get a booking here a few weeks ago ... I rang on the Friday night to book for Saturday night and the guy almost laughed at me! Oh well, another time maybe :) It certainly looks worth it (and it's much less of an effort for us than hiking all the way into the City).

James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Etching: DROUET
(657 views)James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) Please Register/Login to access your Invaluable Alerts
An original James Abbott McNeill Whistler Etching.
Original etching printed in black ink on laid paper.
Signed and dated in the plate lower right Whistler 1859.
A strong and dark lifetime impression of Kennedy's second and final state, Glasgow's second state (cancelled b); Pelletier's third state of four, of this rare etching (according to the University of Glasgow's Whistler Etchings Project there are only 73 known impressions, most of them from the second state after restoration). Printed after the removal of the cancellation lines from the figure's forehead, eyes and cheek, but prior to those areas being retouched and restored. Inscribed in the plate below the figure "Drouet Sculpteur," and in the upper right corner "Whistler Maitre Eaufortier" (extremely faint). Published in the album Cancelled Plates by the Fine Art Society, London, 1879.
Catalog: Kennedy 55 ii/ii; Glasgow 35 ii/ii (cancelled b); Pelletier iii/iv; Mansfield 55; Grolier Club 55; Wedmore 53.
9 x 6 inches
Charles Drouet (1836-1908) was both sculptor and collector, and among his bequests to the Louvre was the dramatic and realistic "Head of an Old Man Smoking" painted by Whistler about the time of this etched portrait. According to Drouet, his portrait was done in two sittings, of two and a half and one and a half hours.
The dynamism of Whistler's free-flowing drypoint strokes provides bulk to the briefly suggested figure of the sculptor. These bold strokes present a marked contrast to the tightly wrought dash upon dash technique that the artist used to develop his subject's intense gaze, strong nose, fluffy beard, and jagged architectonic mane of hair. Strength and vitality are among the attributes with which Whistler invested his friend, one of several artistic and literary figures he portrayed on copper in 1899.
This three-quarter length, three-quarter view portrait is reminiscent of paintings by Velazquez, whom Whistler greatly admired. In addition its focus on the head recalls the first states of Van Dyck's etched portraits for his "Iconographia," and in particular, as Whistler scholar Katherine Lochnan points out, that of Lucas Vosterman, which Whistler could have seen at the Art Treasures Exhibition in Manchester in 1857 or in his brother-in-law Seymour Haden's collection.
Even writers critical of Whistler's 1874 exhibition at the Flemish Gallery, Pall Mall - his first solo show - gave high praise to his etchings and drypoints, praising them for their "truth and beauty . . . their marvelous technical skill." One critic singled out "some fine portrait heads, notably that of M. Drouet, the French sculptor."
Condition Report: In excellent condition, with thread margins outside the platemark on all four sides.

Keywords: villa, sterling oaks, gated,Naples,tennis,villa,garage,lanai
Great location-minutes to 3 great beaches, gated, great tennis club, clubhouse, bar, grill and pool
3 bedrooms and attached 2 car garage. large/family room loft for our family. Private preserve view. Use of electric golf cart. Jr Olympic pool plus private neighborhood pool. Great tennis! Close to everything.
Beautifully finished inside, we particularly enjoyed the lanai for morning coffee, lunch and happy hour, looking out on to the Preserve with its many interesting birds. Sterling Oaks' facilities are second to none - har-tru tennis courts and a great co-ordinator who helped us connect with other tennis players. The gym and pool were fantastic. We really enjoyed using the golf cart that comes with the place. TV channel selection was great with Tennis Channel included and great music stations. Highly recommended.
Not know what to do for our 30th wedding anniversary, it was suggested to us that we visit Naples, FL.
After a little research, we decided to go and rented a condo in the Sterling Oaks neighborhood in Naples. It was a great decision. The condo was great! Very roomy (three bedrooms and three full bathrooms), and very comfortable. The amenities were great such as a kitchen, lanai, garage, internet, cable TV and a washer and dryer. We enjoyed the community swimming pool (it is a salt water pool which is much easier on your skin) that had a bar and grill to add to the enjoyment. Although it was only the two of us renting this condo, we realized that it could easily host a group of 6-8 people.
The location in Naples is great! It is near everything. We were five minutes from the beach, five minutes from grocery stores and shopping centers, and five minutes from various restaurants. But if you are willing to venture further, there are great places to visit that are less than 30 minutes from this condo. We visited the Turtle Club restaurant (saw a great sunset), Fifth Avenue South - an upscale shopping area with great restaurants, and the restaurant Pinchers in the Tin City Area of Naples. We also enjoyed driving around Naples to see all the beautiful neighborhoods and houses. The Naples area reminded us of Lake Forest, IL.
We definitely plan on going back and will rent this same condo when we go on vacation.
In 2010, My wife and I spent a month in this unit at Sterling Oaks. Afterward we decided that a month was not enough and for the next four years we leased this coach home for the months of January and February. We very much enjoyed the community of Sterling Oaks, to include the friendly people there and of course, the tennis offerings for people of all skill levels. The coach home was a clean, roomy, comfortable and well situated unit and the owners were caring and responsive to all of our needs. Good to Excellent recommendation.

Encouraging Words on Pope Francis from an Anglican Evangelical
Retired Anglican Presiding Bishop and Primate of
the Southern Cone, the Most. Rev. Gregory Venables, a friend of the new
Pope, has this to say on Facebook:
Many are asking me what Jorge Bergoglio
is really like. He is much more of a Christian, Christ centered and Spirit
filled, than a mere churchman. He believes the Bible as it is written. I have
been with him on many occasions and he always makes me sit next to him and
invariably makes me take part and often do what he as Cardinal should have
done. He is consistently humble and wise, outstandingly gifted yet a common
man. He is no fool and speaks out very quietly yet clearly when necessary. He
called me to have breakfast with him one morning and told me very clearly that
the Ordinariate was quite unnecessary and that the church needs us as
Anglicans. I consider this to be an inspired appointment not because he is a
close and personal friend but because of who he is In Christ. Pray for him.
2 comments:
It is very encouraging to be hearing such a clear and compelling Christ-centered message from the new spiritual leader of the largest body of Christian people--and I'm very glad to hear such a good word from Bishop Venables, who has had a great opportunity to have a perspective "up close and personal." Seems like a very positive step in a healthy direction, and I'm sure that will have good effect far and wide.
A note on the side, that the new pope is simply, "Pope Francis." He would become "Pope Francis I" only if, in some future time, another newly-elected pope should decide to become "Pope Francis II." Sort of like how the Great War became "World War I . . . ."

Revision as of 12:05, 28 February 2013

Yum Groups as Objects
Change the default yum configuration from group_command=compat to group_command=objects.
- Name: James Antill
- Email: email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 19
- Last updated: 2013-01-25
- Percentage of completion: 99%
Detailed Description
Currently yum groups work as a simple substitution, so "yum group remove foo" works as though you took every package from foo and passed it to "yum remove". This tends to not be what users expect, for example "yum group install kde-desktop" and then "yum group remove kde-desktop" will end up removing packages (like abrt-desktop). This feature changes that so that groups are installed as real objects, meaning that when a user does "yum group install foo" yum will mark that the packages from foo are being installed (as before) but also that a group called foo is being installed and that those packages are installed because of it. Later if the group is removed, yum will remove the group and only those packages that were installed because of the group install/upgrade commands.
Benefit to Fedora
Users will be able to run "yum group install foo" and "yum group remove foo" and it will do what they expect much more often (no extra packages will be removed).
The only work that needs to be done is changing the configuration, all the code behind the feature is in F18.
How To Test
You can test it in Fedora 18 with "yum-config-manager --save --setopt=group_command=objects" ... or even just passing --setopt=group_command=objects to yum for every command.
To test with a rough automatic conversion from what yum thinks is happening now you can run: "yum groups --setopt=group_command=objects mark-convert"
User Experience
The main changes will be to anyone running "yum group install/remove", and that the output to "yum group list/info" will be dependant on the state stored.
However "yum upgrade" will now upgrade the installed groups. This means that if you "yum group install foo" and later a new package is added to the foo group "yum upgrade" will install the new package and mark it as being part of the foo group (and thus. a subsequent "yum group remove foo" will remove it).
I'm not aware of any significant testing on any layers using yum, so:
- anaconda
- yumex
- gnome-packagekit
Contingency Plan
We can change the configuration default back to compat.
Release Notes
- Installing groups with yum or anaconda (etc.) will now store information and use that information later for group remove/list/info commands. Also "yum upgrade" will automatically install any new packages for an installed group, as they are added to the group.

I Believe in the 2009 Saints
It is said confession is good for the soul, so I am going to say it right now to all of you without shame or embarrassment I believe in the 2009 Saints. I believe they are better than a good team; I believe they are one of the best in the NFL. I believe they can go deep into the playoffs, and I believe they can even win the Super Bowl. I believe the offense is the most explosive in the league, and I believe they can win with their superior defense. I believe in Sean Payton and Gregg Williams, Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Jonathan Vilma, Pierre Thomas, Darren Sharper, Charles Grant, Will Smith, Jeremy Shockey and all of the rest of the team that wears the Black and Gold and the Fleur-de-Lis. Call me loony, say that my memory is as clouded as the French Quarter in a river fog, or dismiss my belief as a childish hope. I am no neophyte; I was there in the beginning and have seen the rise of hopes-past crushed by the agony of coaching mistakes, errant passes, inexplicable fumbles, dropped balls and assorted false starts, pass interference and personal fouls. I have lived through the Aints. I have suffered bad weeks and terrible whole seasons. But somehow this is different this team inspires, lifts my hopes and bolsters my expectations. It isnt as if the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, for the remaining schedule includes formidable opposition such as the Giants, Cowboys and Patriots. But when you examine the 12 games ahead, and analyze each, you see the road to a glorious campaign. All are winnable, and the marriage of good coaching and good on-the-field execution has created an exhilarating confidence. I believe. Do you? Dont you feel the excitement? Cant you feel that we have emerged from a march across an arid plain and have arrived at an oasis of possibility beyond anything we have seen in the past? The Sun Herald today has published an I Believe poster that you can tape to the side window of your car, or put at the front of your business or put it on a backpack or briefcase. Between today and Sunday, Oct. 18, when the Saints take on the currently undefeated New York Giants team, the Sun Herald will be publishing a daily I Believe feature that will focus on the big game, and the current team and players, as well as South Mississippis love affair with the team. We will be searching for the greatest local fans, and producing online polls that will give you a chance to be involved in the I Believe movement. These are special days for Saints fans, and we need to show our team colors while displaying our I Believe attitude. Times are tough for many on our Coast, but the Saints winning streak is making each week brighter and the joy of those victories is carrying us through the week with smiles. The team has united the Gulf Coast from western Louisiana clear to the Florida panhandle. The Saints fans of South Mississippi are second to none in our passion for this team, and we await the Giants game with much confidence and anticipation. GO SAINTS!

Re: I Believe in the 2009 Saints
Nice write. I beleive and agree 100%. This just feels different for me more so than in 2006 when the team went so far on the backs of the offense we were still so porus on defense that you almost felt it was going to come down at anytime. We have been saying give us a top ten defense with Brees at the helm and anything is possible. Those stats don't lie. For once I can watch a game and not dread seeing what is going to happen next with the defense on the field. With Payton and Williams entrenched hopefully quality players will view New Orleans as one of the most desireable cities to play in the NFL. This is going to help us build something special here and have our team viewed as one of the places other teams really do not like to see on their scheldue. Wow ! It's been a long time since I have had the confidence to say that.

Re: I Believe in the 2009 Saints
I don't think we're the best team in the league, but I think we're as good as the best.
I still think we'd struggle to beat the Ravens, Steelers, Colts, Pats and Giants, but I do think we're just about as good. |

Re: I Believe in the 2009 Saints
Unlike past years when I would think we need our A game and a stout foe would need to look past us for the Saints to win a huge game, it is now possible, likely and almost expected that we do. We've shown that all aspects of our game can and will come up big for us. The Giants will be a big test. Even if we do not win it, as long as we are competitive in the game and they need to be their absolute best to beat us, it is a victory for us. We need to still prove we can dominate our divisional games before I lock us for a playoff spot. But I fully expect us to win every game now and no longer see anyone as a different level from us.

Re: I Believe in the 2009 Saints
I agree, but it will come down to who plays best on that day, who gets the breaks in the turnovers and officiating as opposed to prior years where they just beat the c--p out of us because they had better coaches and players. What a difference that makes to players and fans alike.

OK. But when you get just as much playing time as a co-starter as you did a starter what's the difference?
Printable View
Can we hire Cameron as OC? :) what? at least we would beat the Ravens twice every year!
Mike Wallace played on 41-of-67 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Ravens. In his first game as a "co-starter" with Emmanuel Sanders (49 snaps), Wallace's playing time was reduced. During the first 11 games of the year, he played on 83 percent of the snaps. These 41 plays represent a 61-percent clip.

Virtualization platform pioneering: Hyper-V licensing for VMware admins
If you're a VMware admin who wants to use Microsoft's virtualization platform, you need to understand Hyper-V licensing first.
Even though they're competitors, VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V can go hand in hand. There are several beneficial...

reasons to add Microsoft's virtualization platform to your vSphere virtual infrastructure.
Even if your organization isn't considering Microsoft virtualization now, Hyper-V adoption is rising, and one day you might be asked to manage this virtualization platform. And understanding Microsoft's hypervisor all starts with Hyper-V licensing.
How Hyper-V licensing works
Before you dig into Hyper-V's buttons and boxes, you must decide whether this virtualization platform fits your deployment's needs. If you've already invested time and money into vSphere, determine how a second hypervisor might assist -- and if the Hyper-V licensing costs are worth it.
Many organizations first consider adding Hyper-V to a vSphere infrastructure because of cost. Hyper-V installs as a role within an existing instance of Windows Server 2008, and that role adds no cost to the virtualization platform beyond those for the operating system itself. Thus, IT shops with Windows licenses lying around might find easy return on investment (ROI) by repurposing them as Hyper-V hosts.
But don't automatically assume that "no added cost" means "free," because Hyper-V licensing gotchas can arise. You get additional virtual OS licenses with each physical license of Windows Server 2008 and R2 in the Datacenter Edition, for example, but they're licensed per-processor. More VMs per host therefore requires more processors, which will affect the cost of this virtualization platform considerably. As you delve into Hyper-V licensing, measure carefully how many VMs you expect to host on each Hyper-V server.
You should also know that Windows Failover Clustering -- the technology that facilitates live migration -- requires Windows Server's Enterprise or Datacenter Edition. You can install Hyper-V itself atop Windows Server Standard Edition, but you won't enjoy clustering, high availability or load balancing.
If the Standard Edition is your OS of choice, or if you'd rather bypass this Hyper-V licensing confusion altogether, consider Microsoft's alternative: the free Hyper-V Server, which runs only the Hyper-V role along with its supporting roles, role services, and features, including Windows Failover Clustering.
Hyper-V use cases for VMware admins
Of course, hypervisor licensing is only one part of the cost of adding a second virtualization platform. Management tools, staff training, updates to processes and procedures and other integration costs all add to the price tag.
But if you integrate Hyper-V in the right use cases, your returns will be worth this investment. Test and dev environments, branch offices and other non-critical environments are all low-hanging fruit for Microsoft's virtualization platform. These environments often don't require advanced high availability and load balancing, so using the occasional Hyper-V instance can be a smart move.
Another use case where Hyper-V may bring advantages is within virtual desktop infrastructures. With Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, Hyper-V now supports dynamic memory allocation and RemoteFX, as well as tight integration with Remote Desktop Services and, at an added cost, Citrix Systems' XenApp. These built-in features can improve your ROI on hosted desktops.
Hyper-V and its management tools are certainly capable of running production and highly critical workloads as well. But using Hyper-V as a second virtualization hypervisor requires you to look carefully at which assets your environment needs and decide if the cost is worth it. To facilitate Windows Failover Clustering, for example, you have to create a cluster of Hyper-V hosts, which tends to add overhead and could hike up costs.
Both VMware and Microsoft have cross-platform management tools for integrating with other virtualization hypervisors. Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager natively supports ESX and ESXi management through VMware vCenter Server. VMware's support for managing Hyper-V hosts is far less integrated, available only as an experimental download for vSphere 4.1 called vCenter XVP Manager and Converter. Third-party tools are also available to manage both platforms.

That Bloke
I don't have much of a sense of self-definition anymore. I used to look at myself in the mirror and think, among other things, poet. Now I'm just that bloke. There are facts (and fictions?) that could define me still, but I don't bother with them. That bloke will do. The only thing that matters is who I see and how I act today.

A: Do you really think Mendeleev should've won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry? On what grounds? After all, his only achievement was to devise the entire periodic table of elements, the miracle of organization and inference on which all of modern chemistry is based.
Mendeleev's table was so good actually, that it even predicted the existence of elements that hadn't yet been discovered. But here's where politics rears its ugly head. In 1906, Mendeleev was selected by the prize committee to win the honor, but the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences stepped in and overturned the decision.
Why did they do that, you ask? The intervention was spearheaded by Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius, who had himself won the prize in 1903 for his theory of electrolytic dissociation. Mendeleev had been an outspoken critic of the theory, and Arrhenius seized the opportunity as the perfect chance to squeeze a few sour grapes.

Subject | Palm Treo access to OWA via Apache 2.2.x Proxy |
Date | Thu, 22 May 2008 01:05:17 GMT |
I'm having a heck of a time getting Palm Treo's to work through our Apache 2.2.3 based proxy talking to an OWA2K7 setup running on IIS. I believe I may be getting pinched by: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43238 The Treo seems to work fine without a proxy. I observe the following (no proxy): 1 TREO Sends OPTIONS request to IIS (Connection: Keep-Alive) 2 IIS Replies with 200 OK (No Connection header) 3 TREO Sends POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync... (Connection: Keep-Alive) 4 IIS Replies with 200 OK + payload (No Connection header) As I said, everything works fine this way. With mod_proxy in the mix however: 1 TREO Sends OPTIONS request to Apache (Connection: Keep-Alive) 2 Apache Sends OPTIONS request to IIS (Connection: Close) 3 IIS Replies with 200 OK (Connection: Close) 4 Apache Sends 200 OK back to Treo (Connection: Close) 5 Apache Sends SSLv3 Close Notify to Treo 6 Apache Sends FIN,ACK to Treo 7 TREO Sends POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync... (Connection: Keep-Alive) 8 Apache Sends ACK to Treo 9 Apache Sends Dup ACK to Treo 10 Apache Sends Dup ACK to Treo Timeout... I attempted to backport the patches mentioned here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=657440 In the hopes it might address this, but I'm still seeing the connection prematurely closed around #5, #6 above. I *believe* this is the cause of my issue but am not positive. The Treo continues to try and use an existing connection that no longer exists, and Apache keeps sending Connection: close headers. Am I on the right track here? Should I file a bug? Should this be potentially addressed by 657440, or perhaps I am missing a whole slew of other necessary patches and should just try using the latest 2.2 code built by hand... This is all made trickier by SSL being in used end to end and Wireshark not consistently decrypting packets :) Any thoughts or advice? I feel if I can just get Apache to quit forcing the Connection: close headers in there this would work. Ray | |

The ATF announced Thursday that a reward is being offered for the thieves who lifted a batch of handguns from a Philly gun shop.
Seventeen handguns were stolen over the course of three burglaries from Lock's Philadelphia Gun Exchange, the ATF said Thursday.
Five guns were stolen on Aug 26 around 3:30 a.m. from the shop on Rowland Avenue in Mayfair, the ATF said.
A second break-in took place Sept. 1 but nothing was stolen. Surveillance video from the Sept. 1 incident when nothing was stolen shows an individual unsuccessfully trying to use a pipe to break open display cases in the shop.
