Idaho Public Utilities Commission
Case No IPC-E-10-38, -39, -40, -41, -42, -43
December 28, 2010
Contact: Gene Fadness (208) 334-0339, 890-2712
Website: www.puc.idaho.gov
Commission approves agreements with six wind projects
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has accepted sales agreements between Idaho Power Company and a San Francisco developer for six wind projects near Mountain Home. The developer is the same for all six projects with Maurice Miller and Glenn Ikemoto listed as project managers.
All six wind farms – Cold Springs, Desert Meadow, Hammett Hill, Mainline, Ryegrass and Two Ponds – qualify for the commission's posted Avoided Cost Rate under the provisions of PURPA, the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act. PURPA requires that electric utilities offer to buy power produced from qualifying small power producers or cogenerators. The rate to be paid developers of cogeneration or small power producers is established by the commission and is to be equal to the cost the electric utility avoids if it would have had to generate the power itself or purchase it from another source.
Each of the projects has a capacity of 23 megawatts, but because wind is intermittent, the agreements call for delivery of 10 average megawatts per project per month to Idaho Power. Should the projects exceed 10 average megawatts, Idaho Power may accept the energy but will not pay for it.
While the commission adopted the sales agreements, it expressed concern about the transmission capacity available on Idaho Power's system at the single point of interconnection, a 230-kilovolt line in Elmore County, which is also near two other projects – Bennett Creek and Hot Springs – owned by the same developer. A system impact study was performed that indicated the existing transmission system can accommodate output from the projects without transmission network upgrades. However, when that study was completed it was for projects with a nameplate capacity of 20 MW. Since the study was completed, the project evolved with the developer's turbine choice resulting in projects with a nameplate capacity of 23 MW. Consequently, the commission is ordering the developer to request additional transmission capacity and be responsible for all costs associated with the request.
All the agreements include a mechanical availability guarantee, a reduction in the price paid to the developer to allow for integrating the wind into Idaho Power's transmission system and a wind forecasting cost assessed the developer. The parties also agreed to damages and security provisions in the event the projects do not meet their scheduled first operation date of Dec. 31, 2012.
The rate for these projects is a non-levelized rate that increases through the 20-year life of the contract. In 2013, the rate for normal load hours during normal seasons of the year is $61.93 per megawatt-hour (6.19 cents per kWh), escalating to $121.76 per MWh in 2032. That rate varies to account for heavy and light load hours of the day and heavy and light load seasons of the year.
Commission staff calculated that the six projects are expected to generate 303,648 megawatt-hours annually. The annual value of the expected generation will be about $18.8 million in 2013 and increasing to about $36.9 million in 2032. Staff calculated the collective net present value of the generation over the life of the agreements to be about $208.9 million.
Approving the agreements does not impact rates now, but all payments made by Idaho Power for purchases of energy from approved PURPA projects are allowed as prudently incurred expenses for inclusion in customer rates once the projects are generating power.
A full text of the commission's orders, along with other documents related to these cases, is available on the commission's Web site at www.puc.idaho.gov. Click on "File Room" and then on "Electric Cases" and scroll down to the following case numbers: IPC-E-10-38, -39, -40, -41, -42 and -43.

Pompie necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
We are a small group of technicians that basically got into this business as an excuse to get our hands on the latest and greatest tech toys. We love the Mac and couldn't live without our iPhones. We rock our customers world by turning a tragic event into a positive experience with overnight turnaround on Mac laptop, iPhone, iPod and Sony PSP repairs. We work hard and we have fun while we're doing it.
Our original logo was built to portray our Technicians as the heroic figures that they are - the guys that save your ass and have your MacBook Pro back to you overnight, from California to New York. The logo should inspire our employees just as much as it inspires our customers. The clock background was to portray our fast service - but after 5 years and over 50,000 repairs under our belts, we think it's time for an update.
Trouble is, how do we keep our existing image and color scheme while bringing logo up to date? That's where you come in. Take the TechRestore challenge and help us keep the best parts of our current logo and bring a more modern look that shouts out loud "Help is on the way" - your troubles will soon be over and the cool Ninja toy you get with your repaired laptop box will bring a smile to your face when it's over.
We want to keep the logo recognizable since we've pretty much funded Google's private plane with all the branding we've done during the past 5 years. The goal is to have a logo that shows a heroic technician, losing the existing clock background and at a glance, can be used to spread our message that "help is on the way" - that there's a quick solution to your broken screen, your toilet soaked iPhone, etc...
We perform repairs for consumers, businesses and schools. The challenge is that we often only have a few seconds to gab their attention - the logo is usually the first thing they see on our website, in our advertisement, on our branded merchandise. Our customers are freaked out - they just broke the device they use 10 times a day and they don't know who to turn to for help. We want to capture their trust and interest as quickly as possible.
We want our existing logo modified and updated to show more speed, more urgency, more trust. The existing color scheme fits our website and other branded material - so we'd like to stick with that. The logo should fit in with what we have done on our website at http://techrestore.com
The logo should be able to be used in all kinds of spots - web, print, shirts, hats, etc..
We would also like a half-tone, gray B&W version since oftentimes we need to use non-color logos.

We have a webapp. 3rd party websites put our banners on their pages (banner is a snippet of HTML). They are paid for it using "Pay per click" or "Pay per show" methods.
So 3rd party website's owners are interested in abusing this payment methods by e.g. clicking banner a lot of times/creating bots/etc.. I'd want to defend against such abuses.
How can I defend against such show/click fraud?
After reading some parts of AdWords help and this report I know that I should log some info about each click like exact time, IP address, user-agent, tracking cookie. And then apply some filters to those logs:
- Period between repetitive clicks. If it's too low, discard all but one of them
- Statistical analysis of clicks per time period. If number of clicks per current period is significantly larger than average, this activity should be reviewed
- Check banner environment for reality: cookie support, JS code execution, comparison of user-agent and browser JS detection, comparison of JS detected locale, timezone and source IP
- If percent of already detected invalid clicks originating from a particular IP address is significantly higher than from other IPs, and number of clicks is significantly large, then all clicks from this IP address should be discarded
- Shows/clicks coming from IPs in http:BL of Project Honeypot, countries not in areas where users live, datacenter IPs
Please, advice other filters that will be useful. Also I don't know proper settings that should be used in those filters. What are they?

Enrolment: Enrol-Cvent
Maintained by Matt Oquist
If you're a Cvent customer (cvent.com) and you've got access to their integration API, this enrollment module allows you to get new and updated user accounts and enrollments from Cvent.

Moodle-Cvent Sponsored by: United States Baha'i National Center: http://american.bahai.us/ Supported Moodle versions: * 2.0+ Introduction: If you're a Cvent customer and you've got access to their integration API, this enrollment module allows you to get new and updated user accounts and enrollments from Cvent. The code is designed to make the best possible use of their API, attempting to get all (but only) the necessary data to keep moodle up-to-date while using the smallest possible number of API calls. (Cvent limits the number of calls that can be made within a 24-hour period.) This has been developed specifically for one client, but the hope is that others will also find this to be useful. Comments, questions, and patches are welcome! Installation: Copy the the contents of this directory into your own moodle, and then go to http://yourmoodle.tld/admin/ in your browser. This will create the DB tables. Then go to http://yourmoodle.tld/admin/settings.php?section=manageenrols to enable the Cvent module and configure its settings. You MUST be a Cvent customer with access to their API service, because: 1. in the settings page you'll need to enter the authentication information (username, account number, and password) they give you for their API, and 2. you must contact Cvent and give them your server's IP address so they can add it to their whitelist. If you have any authentication errors (such as "INVALID_LOGIN"), please be sure both of these things have been done. Synchronizing: This plugin uses Moodle's cron() feature to synchronize regularly. Each execution of the cron() for this enrolment plugin should use no more than 8 Cvent API calls, unless you have more than 10k updates in between two runs of this script. Testing: Just to be sure the basic connection works, you can execute the following on the command line: php enrol/cvent/cli/test.php? Without any arguments, that script will just attempt to make a connection to Cvent. The script will tell you whether the connection was successful. test.php can do other things, too, and it's intended that developers will monkey with it as needed for debugging. TODO: * add configuration settings that determine how user provisioning works * how do we check for pre-existing accounts? * how do we set username/password for new accounts? * document how user provisioning and enrollment handling work Matt Oquist Sat Mar 10 14:39:33 EST 2012

- Wed, Jul 31, 2013, 11:44 AMThis is a wonderful plugin but I have a few questions.
1. How can I set it so that I can sync the CVENT contacts who are paid members (two fields that denotes that they are paid members and their membership expiration date) with Moodle
2. Two weeks after the member expiration date, the member is disabled in Moodle
3. Transfer the custom Member Profile fields created in CVENT to Moodle.
Even if it isn't an exact answer. I just need to know where to look and how to attack the PHP script. Thanks so much

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM is launching its first ever furniture and interiors show in Southeast Asia in September next year.
The Southeast Asia Furniture & Interiors Import-Export Exhibition (SEAFIE) will be held in Kuala Lumpur, at the Putra World Trade Centre from Sept. 14 to 17, 2013.
SEAFIE will complement the Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF), held in March every year, and other UBM industry shows, notably Furniture China which is the largest furniture expo in the world, Index Fairs in India and UK Interiors.
This exciting new show will cover gross exhibition space of 45,000 sq metres and feature the international mid- to high-end brands of home and office furniture, interior design products and soft furnishings.
SEAFIE is targeted to draw 300 international exhibitors and 20,000 buyers from all over the world.
The four-day fair will be organised by the same professional team behind MIFF, which has 19 years of proven track record and in-depth market knowledge.
"The timing is ideal for the launch of SEAFIE in light of the changing market environment. Based on in-depth market research by UBM, September is a key second buying season for furniture and interiors buyers worldwide these days," said MIFF Chairman Datuk Dr Tan Chin Huat.
Another booster for SEAFIE is the expanding Southeast Asian market itself because of its 600 million population and growing middle class customers.
While furniture and fittings exports from Southeast Asia have been on an uptrend, imports too have increased significantly due to growing purchasing power and demand for branded high quality lifestyle products.
"SEAFIE will be a fantastic opportunity to tap into this market for manufacturers, designers and distributors of mid- to high-end furniture brands focusing on design and interior furnishings," Tan added.
"We are also targeting 20,000 buyers from all over the world. There will be lots of trendy purchases and exciting deals for contract buyers, proper developers, project managers and interior decorators."
Kuala Lumpur's strategic location in the heart of Southeast Asia and excellent air and sea links will make SEAFIE a leading platform for import and export to and from Asean.
UBM is Asia's leading exhibition organiser and the biggest commercial organiser in China, India and Malaysia where it manages over 150 industry shows.

LIMERICK - Police are warning township residents of a phone scam in which the perpetrators act as if they are with the IRS.
For at least the last two months, scammers have called township residents posing as IRS agents demanding a transfer of cash which they claim is owed to the agency, according to the Limerick Police.
Callers tell their targets that they owe money to the IRS; however, the scammer tells their target that if they wire money, their arrest can be avoided.
'No law enforcement agency will call you and propose an immediate money transfer to avoid arrest,' the Limerick Police wrote on their Facebook page.
Some of the callers have used fake numbers that come up as law enforcement on caller ID, said Limerick Police Chief Bill Albany.
Elderly residents of the township are mainly being targeted but Albany said it is possible that younger residents have also gotten the calls but just blow them off and never report it.
Albany said there have been four recent reports of elderly victims in the scam. One man lost $9,000 to the fake IRS caller before a bank teller figured out what was going on July 9.
A picture posted on the Limerick Police Facebook page shows some warnings from the IRS regarding the scam.
'The IRS never asks for a credit card number over the phone or requests the use of a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,' reads one warning.
Another part of the picture states that the IRS would never contact a person via email, social media or text message.

Can't wait, about to be honor capped and just going to farm badges and get resilience gems and enchants ready. Been doing some skirmishes to brush up and setting up macros and Proximo.
Plan to do 2s as Resto Shaman with Rogue, and 3s with my Resto Shaman and 2 Rogues. We also have a bomb DK who played during beta and was top rated 2s. The Rogues, DK and Warrior were former Brutal Glads so I'm stoked.
Ought to be interesting in general how far DK/Pally goes in 2s. What are some of the other combinations that you think are going to go far?

So it's the morning of Halloween and you've been so busy that you still haven't figured out your costume, right? Don't fret. These last-minute ideas will get you geared up for a night full of spooky decorations, costume parties and trick-or-treating. Plus, they're a grade above the super simplified trash bag witch and white sheet ghost ideas.
The 30-Minute Costume
If you have 30 minutes to spare, then use the time to get really creative with this fun pop art comic book makeup. Start with white foundation, a black brow pencil for exaggerated dark eyebrows, red lipstick and an eye shadow palette to create the polka dots. Add to the look by wearing a yellow wig and making a speech balloon cutout. Wear a polka dot dress to really drive the point home.
Got a white beanie and some blue paint? That's all you really need to have a Smurf costume this Halloween. A pair of white pants for the guys and a white dress for the girls topped off with a white beanie is all the clothing you need to be a Smurf and Smurfette. Now just be prepared to get your body painted blue. This part might take a while and is best if done with a buddy.
The 15-Minute Costume
This Rosie the Riveter costume is perfect for a procrastinator like yourself because all the inspiration you need is in the slogan: We Can Do It! Place a red polka dot scarf on your head and toss on a trendy chambray shirt or blue overalls and you're on your way. Take a few minutes to paint a piece of cardboard yellow and include the signature slogan in blue and white. No Rosie look is complete, however, without the trademark arm pump.
Want to be a famous painter? Sport a braided up-do, a few flowers in your hair, a unibrow and a slight mustache and you're Frida Kahlo. This costume could take even less time if you have fantastic skills at creating facial hair from makeup. Throw on a colorful wrap scarf, a red lip and call it a day.
Forgot about the little ones this year? Have them dressed in no time with this fun colonial look. Turn your child into a young George Washington by making a wig out of a few toilet paper rolls. The rest of the look can be created with a few doilies, socks and a suit.
The 5-Minute Costume
A simple light blue placard is all it really takes to dress up as Photoshop, the popular graphic editing program. Print out the lettering from your computer and affix it to a makeshift placard. Then pull a dark blue sweater over your head and you're an instant walking logo.
Got a rubber chicken lying around from last year's April Fools' Day? Well wrap it around your neck with the help of the cord from your home phone (if your home phone still has a cord) and top it off with a blue T-shirt. Within minutes you've gone from having no costume to being "chicken cord on blue"—a clever play on words of the classic dish.
Final tip: If all else fails, don't be afraid to browse our Halloween Sales to see which stores have the best costumes and try your luck at getting a last-minute in-store costume for a good deal.

The War of Jenkins' Ear (1739-1748) was but a single episode in the prolonged series of imperial conflicts between England and Spain in the 18th century. In the summer of 1740, the conflict came to Florida.
In 1731, Spanish coast guardsmen boarded an English merchant ship captained by Robert Jenkins. The Spaniards accused the Englishmen of smuggling, and as punishment cut off Jenkins' ear. According to some accounts, Jenkins later exhibited the severed ear in front of the British Parliament during his testimony on Spanish depredations. This incident, along with numerous petitions and lengthy testimony, convinced the British government to take action against Spain.
War erupted across the Caribbean soon after the hearings before Parliament. The most significant action in Florida resulted from an expedition led by General James Oglethorpe against the city of St. Augustine in the summer of 1740. By all accounts, Oglethorpe's campaign constituted an epic failure. The General Assembly of South Carolina launched a full investigation into the failed siege. Ultimately, they concluded that a series of tactical mistakes doomed the English effort to weaken the Spanish outpost.
English cartographer Thomas Silver created the map below to illustrate the siege against St. Augustine. It bears a striking resemblance to a map depicting an earlier British attempt to level St. Augustine, undertaken by Sir Francis Drake in 1586. The transcription of the long key included with the map has, as much as possible, preserved spellings used in the original.
Transcription of Silver's Map:
"A View of the Town and Castle of St. Augustine, and the English Camp before it June 20, 1740. By Thos. Silver.
A. The English South Trench [?] 3 18 Pounders & 2 small Morters
B. A Marsh from whence we played with 20 Cohorns
C. Eustatia Island, which is chiefly Sand & Bushes
D. Sailors hawling Cannon in reach of the Castle
E. A North Trench 3 18 prs & a Mortar of 24:1:10
F. Genl. Oglethrop's Soliders, Indians & Sailors Tents
G. A Lookout taken the 12th of June
H. Soldiers and Sailors landing June the 11th
I. A Sand Battery quited at our Approach
K. Capt. Warren Commander over the Sailors hoisting the Union Flag on board a Schooner
L. The Sailors wells to Water the Shiping
Ships 1. Flamborough 2. Hector 3. Squirrel
4. Tartar 5. Phoenix
6. Woolf 7. Spence
Employ'd in this Expedition about 200 Seamen 400 Sailors and 300 Indians
Forces of the Spaniards 1000 besides a Strong Castle and 4 Fortified Barks and a Shallow River hindring our Shippings Playing on them.
An Account of the Siege of St. Augustine in the letter on Board ye Hector. May 30 we arrived near St. Augustine, June 1st we were join'd by the Flamborough. Capt. Pearse, the Phoenix Capt. Fanshaw, the Tartar Capt. Towshend and the Squirrel Capt. Warren of 20 Guns each besides the Spense Sloop Capt Laws, and the Wolf Capt. Dandrige.
On the 2d Col Vander Dufen with 300 Carolina Soldiers appear'd on the North of the Town. On the 9th Genl. Oglethorpe came by Sea with 300 Soldiers and 300 Indians from Georgia. On the 10th they were carried a Shore in the Men of Wars boats under the cover of the small Ships Guns. They Landed on the Island Eustatia without Opposition and took the Look-out at G.
The 13th Capt. Warren in a Schooner and other Armed Sloops and Pettyaugers anchored in their Harbor just out of Cannon shot till the 26th when the Sailors were employed in landing Ordnance and other Stores within Reach of the Enemys Cannon. On which Occasion they discover'd a surprising Spirit and Intrepidity. The same night two Batteries were rais'd, but too far off.
The 27th the General Summon'd the Governor to Surrender, who sent word he should be glad to shake hands with him in his Castle. This haughty answer was occasioned by a dear bought Victory, which 500 Spaniards had obtained over 80 Highlanders 50 of whom were slain, but died like Heroes killing thrice their number.
The 29th bad Weather obliged the men of War to put to sea out of [?] but one man had be kill'd. Hereupon the Siege was raised."
Stay tuned for "The British Invasion (Part Two)," which recounts the Spanish-African-Native American victory over Oglethorpe's troops at the Battle of Bloody Mose.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Google-Motorola is working on a new smartphone that is internally known as 'X Phone'. It is aimed at Apple and Samsung's latest flagship devices. Details seem to be slim, but here are some of the key points:
- X-Phone, and an eventual X-Tablet, are separate from Motorola's long-existing Droid line.
- Some early plans for the device were scrapped over supply chain and manufacturing concerns.
- Project is led by Lior Ron, a former Google Product Manager.
- Motorola wants the phone to have panorama photo capabilities and improved color saturation, but these have been found to affect battery life.
- The companies wanted to use bendable and ceramic technologies, but these plans are apparently difficult to implement.
- Launching sometime in 2013.

Dear Ashley and Todd,
Thanks for your letter asking for permission to use the Noisebridge logo on sticker and T-shirts in the forthcoming DreamWorks movie about Julian Assange and Daniel Domscheit-Berg. It must be very exciting to work on such a large project, especially when you need, as your letter says, clearance on our logo "tomorrow" (15th January). How many people you must have to constantly ask for such permission, just for a little bit of set dressing!
It is probably long past the point where you were going to use it anyway, but here is our reply:
From your description, it should be so patently obvious to anyone watching your film that you're just using the image to talk about Noisebridge, not claim you are Noisebridge or that Noisebridge supports your film*.
Noisebridge as a community believes you you have the right to use such imagery without having to ask permission from others -- especially those who you might be implicitly criticising or commenting upon. Such a right is encoded in the existing nature of trademark and copyright with the idea of fair use.
Sadly, all such free speech rights have been concealed over the years by the claims of copyright maximalists, who would have you believe that you must beg to refer to us in your film -- or event that you would be beholden to us if, for instance, you parodied our disrespectful attitude to your concerns with the following image, which includes both of our indentifying marks, the Noisebridge(TM) circuit, and the Unicorn Pissing A Rainbow(TM).
Such a position is lunacy and a genuine threat to free speech and the first amendment. You should use exercise all of your fair use rights freely, without fear.
So we say tell your friends at DreamWorks to publish (or print, or produce) and be damned. Tell them we fully support them in their brave stand, and can say, with confidence, that the only conditions in which we would sue them and their partners to the maximum damages entitled to us by law would be if it turned out that hackers like us were completely hypocritical nihilists, out only for our own egotistical ends. Given that you were so nice as to ask us, we can't imagine you think that of us, do you?
Lots of love,
- - which frankly sounds a bit sleezy. Are you really inserting a fake subplot about a non-existent American spy in Iran who is exposed in the State department cables? Doesn't that seem a little irresponsible to you, given the great, real stories in the WikiLeaks affair you could have written about?
To Whom It May Concern,
I am a Clearance Coordinator working on the DreamWorks Studios feature film The Fifth Estate and Production is interested in using the Noisebridge.net name and logo on stickers as set dressing and/or on t-shirts as wardrobe.
I have attached a PDF containing a formal request letter, our standard release form, and an image of the name/logo. The letter explains what the film is about, who is making it, and how Production intends to use the name/logo.
If everything meets with your approval, please print the release form, arrange for signature and return to us, preferably, via email to XXXXX. Should you have any questions, concerns, or problems opening the attachment, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
If permission is granted, Production would need to print the stickers and/or t-shirt as soon as tomorrow to have them prepared for shooting. I apologize for the urgency and understand that Production's schedule is not your priority. Your immediate attention to this request is appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to receiving you response.
Todd Kravitz

- two purposes: 1. business proposition (for powers of attorneys) and 2. instuctions for them how to use
Attached existing "instructions", the benefits for powers of attorney are on our website.
Note: after "agency" quality design, the actual instruction writing no so important:
- the selling pitch of advantages needs to look graet
- the "instuctions", this is a very simple system, need to "flow" in a very strong design look (ie really need photoshop work)

Can a disguise be an obstacle to true love?
Hong Ra On (Kim Yoo Jung) is a young woman during the Joseon Dynasty who disguises herself as a man named Sam Nom to support herself by ghostwriting and giving relationship advice to lovelorn men.
A love letter that Ra On writes for a client brings her in contact with Lee Yeong, who is the Crown Prince Hyo Myeong (Park Bo Gum), the first son of King Sunjo (Kim Seung Soo) and heir to the throne, as well as his trusted guard Kim Byung Yeon (Kwak Dong Yeon).
Through a series of events, Ra On gets sold into the Royal Palace as a eunuch and is assigned to work for Royal Consort Soo Ki (Jun Mi Sun) and Princess Young Geun (Heo Jung Eun). Ra On becomes embroiled in a political power struggle with Queen Kim (Han Soo Yeon) and her father, Prime Minister Kim Hun (Chun Ho Jin), who somehow manage to keep King Sunjo in a perpetually weakened, hallucinogenic state.
Prime Minister Kim is grooming his grandson, Kim Yoon Sung (Jinyoung [B1A4]), to take over the throne but that would put the young scholar in direct competition with his childhood friend, Lee Yeong, to become the next king.
Jo Ha Yeon (Chae Soo Bin) is a minister's daughter who has her eyes set on Lee Yeong, but how will he deal with his emerging feelings for Ra On, whom he believes is a male eunuch?
With Ra On and Byung Yeon by his side, can Lee Yeong fight the power-hungry ministers to claim his rightful place in history?
"Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" is a 2016 South Korean drama series directed by Kim Sung Yoon. It is based on a web novel of the same title written by Yoon Yi Soo and "kk."

When the word came that Nemo was heading our direction blowing 65 m.p.h. winds and bringing at least 2 feet of snow, my friends Nathan and Emily, who live a few blocks away, extended the invitation for homemade chicken pot pie. I was in charge of bringing brownies.
I knew immediately that I wanted to bring The Pastry Chef's Baking Frosted Brownies. These are so decadent and delicious I definitely did not want to be left in the house alone with a pan. Bringing them to a blizzard dinner party was the perfect solution!
My friend Rebecca, who lives next door, and I trudged through the snow together, wearing ski pants and ski goggles, with mufflers wrapped tightly around our necks. The snow had only begun to fall and the trees were already frosted sugar-white.
After we had our fill of chicken pot pie and brownies, Nathan read to us from "The Long Winter," by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Emily read the Christmas chapter from "Little House in the Big Woods" as Nemo howled outside. Having read this series over and over growing up, (I used to read "The Long Winter" every winter we lived in New Hampshire, just for solidarity), hearing the familiar stories was like a visit with old friends.
The walk home was eerie and quiet beneath the wind. A ban on all vehicles except plows and emergency vehicles emptied the streets. We wished for a horse drawn sleigh and hot baked potatoes in our pockets to keep warm!
The leftover brownies were the perfect fuel for the two days of digging out that followed. And now that the snow has finally begun to melt, here's another good reason to bake up a batch of these dense chocolate brownies topped with a thick sugary chocolate-y frosting that you must follow with a tall glass of milk: Valentine's Day.
A homemade dessert baked with love (chocolate never faileth) is the best way to say, A Sweet For My Sweet.
Frosted brownies
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened, alkalized cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound (16 tablespoons or 2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
4 large eggs
2 cups vanilla-scented granulated sugar (this is made by leaving a vanilla bean in a canister of sugar, otherwise just use regular sugar)
1-1/2 teaspoons intensified vanilla extract
9 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Film the inside of the baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl, set aside.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove from heat and whisk together. Allow to cool until tepid.
Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl to blend well, about 1 minute, then add the vanilla-scented granulated sugar and whisk slowly for 1 minute, or until just combined. Whisk in the tepid melted chocolate-butter mixture. Blend in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until all particles of flour are absorbed into the batter, using a whisk, wooden spoon or flat wooden paddle.
Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth over the top with a rubber spatula.
Bake the cake layer for 35 to 37 minutes or until just set. Don't worry if a tester doesn't come out clean, do not overbake or the cake layer will dry out.
Cool the cake layer in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes while you make the frosting.
Chocolate frosting
3-3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons unsifted confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound (8 tablespoons or 1 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoon (light) table cream
1 teaspoon intensified vanilla extract
Place the confectioners' sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.
In the double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate. Whisk until combined, allow to cool until tepid.
Add the combined butter and chocolate to the sugar and salt. Add the milk, light cream, and vanilla extract. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the frosting on moderately low speed until creamy and completely combined. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl two to three times to keep the frosting even-textured. Do not beat the frosting on high speed or it will become airy and fluffy instead of creamy and dense.
Immediately and carefully, place large dollops of the frosting evenly over the surface of the hot bar cookie base and spread it, using a flexible offset spatula. Spread it smoothly and lightly, to keep the bar cookie layer intact.
Let the sweet cool in the pan on a rack for 3 to 4 hours, or until cooled and completely set. The cooling time is especially important in hot, humid or damp weather.
Cut the cake into four quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares, using a small, sharp knife. Remove the chocolate squares from the baking pan, using a small, metal offset spatula.
Freshly baked, the squares keep for 4 to 5 days.

Did IBM XIV force EMC's hand to announce VMAXe?
Comments (3) Visits (19563)
Did IBM XIV force EMC's hand to announce VMAXe? Let's take a stroll down memory lane.
In 2008, IBM XIV showed the world that it could ship a Tier-1, high-end, enterprise-class system using commodity parts. Technically, prior to its acquisition by IBM, the XIV team had boxes out in production since 2005. EMC incorrectly argued this announcement meant the death of the IBM DS8000. Just because EMC was unable to figure out how to have more than one high-end disk product, doesn't mean IBM or other storage vendors were equally challenged. Both IBM XIV and DS8000 are Tier-1, high-end, enterprise-class storage systems, as are the IBM N series N7900 and the IBM Scale-Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS).
In April 2009, EMC followed IBM's lead with their own V-Max system, based on Symmetrix Engenuity code, but on commodity x86 processors. Nobody at EMC suggested that the V-Max meant the death of their other Symmetrix box, the DMX-4, which means that EMC proved to themselves that a storage vendor could offer multiple high-end disk systems. Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) would later offer the VSP, which also includes some commodity hardware as well.
In July 2009, analysts at International Technology Group published their TCO findings that IBM XIV was 63 percent less expensive than EMC V-Max, in a whitepaper titled [COST/BENEFIT CASE FOR IBM XIV STORAGE SYSTEM Comparing Costs for IBM XIV and EMC V-Max Systems]. Not surprisingly, EMC cried foul, feeling that EMC V-Max had not yet been successful in the field, it was too soon to compare newly minted EMC gear with a mature product like XIV that had been in production accounts for several years. Big companies like to wait for "Generation 1" of any new product to mature a bit before they purchase.
To compete against IBM XIV's very low TCO, EMC was forced to either deeply discount their Symmetrix, or counter-offer with lower-cost CLARiiON, their midrange disk offering. An ex-EMCer that now works for IBM on the XIV sales team put it in EMC terms -- "the IBM XIV provides a Symmetrix-like product at CLARiiON-like prices."
(Note: Somewhere in 2010, EMC dropped the hyphen, changing the name from V-Max to VMAX. I didn't see this formally announced anywhere, but it seems that the new spelling is the officially correct usage. A common marketing rule is that you should only rename failed products, so perhaps dropping the hyphen was EMC's way of preventing people from searching older reviews of the V-Max product.)
This month, IBM introduced the IBM XIV Gen3 model 114. The analysts at ITG updated their analysis, as there are now more customers that have either or both products, to provide a more thorough comparison. Their latest whitepaper, titled [Cost/Benefit Case for IBM XIV Systems: Comparing Cost Structures for IBM XIV and EMC VMAX Systems], shows that IBM maintains its substantial cost savings advantage, representing 69 percent less Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than EMC, on average, over the course of three years.
In response, EMC announced its new VMAXe, following the naming convention EMC established for VNX and VNXe. Customers cannot upgrade VNXe to VNX, nor VMAXe to VMAX, so at least EMC was consistent in that regard. Like the IBM XIV and XIV Gen3, the new EMC VMAXe eliminated "unnecessary distractions" like CKD volumes and FICON attachment needed for the IBM z/OS operating system on IBM System z mainframes. Fellow blogger Barry Burke from EMC explains everything about the VMAXe in his blog post [a big thing in a small package].
So, you have to wonder, did IBM XIV force EMC's hand into offering this new VMAXe storage unit? Surely, EMC sales reps will continue to lead with the more profitable DMX-4 or VMAX, and then only offer the VMAXe when the prospective customer mentions that the IBM XIV Gen3 is 69 percent less expensive. I haven't seen any list or street prices for the VMAXe yet, but I suspect it is less expensive than VMAX, on a dollar-per-GB basis, so that EMC will not have to discount it as much to compete against IBM.

Mastering the art of stretching out a week-long event into two weeks' worth of blog posts, I continue my coverage of the [Data Center 2010 conference], Tuesday afternoon I attended several sessions that focused on technologies for Cloud Computing.
(Note: It appears I need to repeat this. The analyst company that runs this event has kindly asked me not to mention their name on this blog, display any of their logos, mention the names of any of their employees, include photos of any of their analysts, include slides from their presentations, or quote verbatim any of their speech at this conference. This is all done to protect and respect their intellectual property that their members pay for. The pie charts included on this series of posts were rendered by Google Charting tool.)
Whether you deploy private, public or hybrid cloud computing, the benefits are real and worth the changes needed in skill sets and organizational structure.

#IBMtechU IBM Storage University in Washington DC - Day 5 the New zEnterprise
Comments (6) Visits (27437)
Wrapping up my coverage of the annual [2010 System Storage Technical University], I attended what might be perhaps the best session of the conference. Jim Nolting, IBM Semiconductor Manufacturing Engineer, presented the new IBM zEnterprise mainframe, "A New Dimension in Computing", under the Federal track.
The zEnterprises debunks the "one processor fits all" myth. For some I/O-intensive workloads, the mainframe continues to be the most cost-effective platform. However, there are other workloads where a memory-rich Intel or AMD x86 instance might be the best fit, and yet other workloads where the high number of parallel threads of reduced instruction set computing [RISC] such as IBM's POWER7 processor is more cost-effective. The IBM zEnterprise combines all three processor types into a single system, so that you can now run each workload on the processor that is optimized for that workload.
What does this all mean for the IT industry? First, the zEnterprise is perfectly positioned for [three-tier architecture] applications. A typical example could be a client-facing web-server on x86, talking to business logic running on POWER7, which in turn talks to database on z/OS in the z196 mainframe. Second, the zEnterprise is well-positioned for government agencies looking to modernize their operations and significantly reduce costs, corporations looking to consolidate data centers, and service providers looking to deploy public cloud offerings. Third, IBM storage is a great fit for the zEnterprise, with the IBM DS8000 series, XIV, SONAS and Information Archive accessible from both z196 and zBX servers.
To learn more, see the [12-page brochure] or review the collection of [IBM Redbooks]. Check out the [IBM Conferences schedule] for an event near you. Next year, the IBM Storage University will be held July 18-22, 2011 in Orlando, Flordia.

#IBMtechU IBM Storage University in Washington DC - Day 4 Storage Free-for-All
Visits (17494)
Continuing my coverage of the annual [2010 System Storage Technical University], I participated in the storage free-for-all, which is a long-time tradition, started at SHARE User Group conference, and carried forward to other IT conferences. The free-for-all is a Q&A Panel of experts to allow anyone to ask any question. These are sometimes called "Birds of a Feather" (BOF). Last year, they were called "Meet the Experts", one for mainframe storage, and the other for storage attached to distributed systems. This year, we had two: one focused on Tivoli Storage software, and the second to cover storage hardware. This post provides a recap of the Storage Hardware free-for-all.
The emcee for the event was Scott Drummond. The other experts on the panel included Dan Thompson, Carlos Pratt, Jack Arnold, Jim Blue, Scott Schroder, Ed Baker, Mike Wood, Steve Branch, Randy Arseneau, Tony Abete, Jim Fisher, Scott Wein, Rob Wilson, Jason Auvenshine, Dave Canan, Al Watson, and myself, yours truly, Tony Pearson.What can I do to improve performance on my DS8100 disk system? It is running a mix of sequential batch processing and my medical application (EPIC). I have 16GB of cache and everything is formatted as RAID-5.
We are familiar with EPIC. It does not "play well with others", so IBM recommends you consider dedicating resources for just the EPIC data. Also consider RAID-10 instead for the EPIC data.How do I evaluate IBM storage solutions in regards to [PCI-DSS] requirements.
Well, we are not lawyers, and some aspects of the PCI-DSS requirements are outside the storage realm. In March 2010, IBM was named ["Best Security Company"] by SC Magazine, and we have secure storage solutions for both disk and tape systems. IBM DS8000 and DS5000 series offer Full Disk Encryption (FDE) disk drives. IBM LTO-4/LTO-5 and TS1120/TS1130 tape drives meet FIPS requirements for encryption. We will provide you contact information on an encryption expert to address the other parts of your PCI-DSS specific concerns.My telco will only offer FCIP routing for long-distance disk replication, but my CIO wants to use Fibre Channel routing over CWDM, what do I do?
IBM XIV, DS8000 and DS5000 all support FC-based long distance replication across CWDM. However, if you don't have dark fiber, and your telco won't provide this option, you may need to re-negotiate your options.My DS4800 sometimes reboots repeatedly, what should I do.
This was a known problem with microcode level 760.28, it was detecting a failed drive. You need to replace the drive, and upgrade to the latest microcode.Should I use VMware snapshots or DS5000 FlashCopy?
VMware snapshots are not free, you need to upgrade to the appropriate level of VMware to get this function, and it would be limited to your VMware data only. The advantage of DS5000 FlashCopy is that it applies to all of your operating systems and hypervisors in use, and eliminates the consumption of VMware overhead. It provides crash-consistent copies of your data. If your DS5000 disk system is dedicated to VMware, then you may want to compare costs versus trade-offs.Any truth to the rumor that Fibre Channel protocol will be replaced by SAS?
SAS has some definite cost advantages, but is limited to 8 meters in length. Therefore, you will see more and more usage of SAS within storage devices, but outside the box, there will continue to be Fibre Channel, including FCP, FICON and FCoE. The Fibre Channel Industry Alliance [FCIA] has a healthy roadmap for 16 Gbps support and 20 Gbps interswitch link (ISL) connections.What about Fibre Channel drives, are these going away?
We need to differentiate the connector from the drive itself. Manufacturers are able to produce 10K and 15K RPM drives with SAS instead of FC connectors. While many have suggested that a "Flash-and-Stash" approach of SSD+SATA would eliminate the need for high-speed drives, IBM predicts that there just won't be enough SSD produced to meet the performance needs of our clients over the next five years, so 15K RPM drives, more likely with SAS instead of FC connectors, will continue to be deployed for the next five years.We'd like more advanced hands-on labs, and to have the certification exams be more product-specific rather than exams for midrange disk or enterprise disk that are too wide-ranging.
Ok, we will take that feedback to the conference organizers.IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is focused on disaster recovery from tape, how do I incorporate remote disk replication.
This is IBM's Unified Recovery Management, based on the seven tiers of disaster recovery established in 1983 at GUIDE conference. You can combine local recovery with FastBack, data center server recovery with TSM and FlashCopy manager, and combine that with IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication (TPC-R), GDOC and GDPS to manage disk replication across business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) locations.IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication only manages the LUNs, what about server failover and mapping the new servers to the replicated LUNs?
There are seven tiers of disaster recovery. The sixth tier is to manage the storage replication only, as TPC-R does. The seventh tier adds full server and network failover. For that you need something like IBM GDPS or GDOC that adds this capability.All of my other vendor kit has bold advertising, prominent lettering, neon lights, bright colors, but our IBM kit is just black, often not even identifying the specific make or model, just "IBM" or "IBM System Storage".
IBM has opted for simplified packaging and our sleek, signature "raven black" color, and pass these savings on to you.Bring back the SHARK fins!
We will bring that feedback to our development team. ("Shark" was the codename for IBM's ESS 800 disk model. Fiberglass "fins" were made as promotional items and placed on top of ESS 800 disk systems to help "identify them" on the data center floor. Unfortunately, professional golfer [<a hrefWhere is Infiniband?
Like SAS, Infiniband had limited distance, about 10 to 15 meters, which proved unusable for server-to-storage network connections across data center floorspace. However, there are now 150 meter optical cables available, and you will find Infiniband used in server-to-server communications and inside storage systems. IBM SONAS uses Infiniband today internally. IBM DCS9900 offers Infiniband host-attachment for HPC customers.We need midrange storage for our mainframe please?
In addition to the IBM System Storage DS8000 series, the IBM SAN Volume Controller and IBM XIV are able to connect to Linux on System z mainframes.We need "Do's and Don'ts" on which software to run with which hardware.
IBM [Redbooks] are a good source for that, and we prioritize our efforts based on all those cards and letters you send the IBM Redbooks team.The new TPC v4 reporting tool requires a bit of a learning curve.
The new reporting tool, based on Eclipse's Business Intelligence Reporting Tool [BIRT], is now standardized across the most of the Tivoli portfolio. Check out the [Tivoli Common Reporting] community page for assistance.An unfortunate side-effect of using server virtualization like VMware is that it worsens management and backup issues. We now have many guests on each blade server.
IBM is the leading reseller of VMware, and understands that VMware adds an added layer of complexity. Thankfully, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backups uses a lightweight agent. IBM [System Director VMcontrol] can help you manage a variety of hypervisor environments.
This was a great interactive session. I am glad everyone stayed late Thursday evening to participate in this discussion.

TS7680 ProtecTIER Deduplication for the Mainframe
Visits (16864)
Continuing my drawn out coverage of IBM's big storage launch of February 9, today I'll cover the IBM System Storage TS7680 ProtecTIER data deduplication gateway for System z.
On the host side, TS7680 connects to mainframe systems running z/OS or z/VM over FICON attachment, emulating an automated tape library with 3592-J1A devices. The TS7680 includes two controllers that emulate the 3592 C06 model, with 4 FICON ports each. Each controller emulates up to 128 virtual 3592 tape drives, for a total of 256 virtual drives per TS7680 system. The mainframe sees up to 1 million virtual tape cartridges, up to 100GB raw capacity each, before compression. For z/OS, the automated library has full SMS Tape and Integrated Library Management capability that you would expect.
Inside, the two control units are both connected to a redundant pair cluster of ProtecTIER engines running the HyperFactor deduplication algorithm that is able to process the deduplication inline, as data is ingested, rather than post-process that other deduplication solutions use. These engines are similar to the TS7650 gateway machines for distributed systems.
On the back end, these ProtecTIER deduplication engines are then connected to external disk, up to 1PB. If you get 25x data deduplication ratio on your data, that would be 25PB of mainframe data stored on only 1PB of physical disk. The disk can be any disk supported by ProtecTIER over FCP protocol, not just the IBM System Storage DS8000, but also the IBM DS4000, DS5000 or IBM XIV storage system, various models of EMC and HDS, and of course the IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) with all of its supported disk systems.Here is the [Announcement Letter]

Multipurpose Room
345 E. Main St.
Tustin, CA 92780
T-Mobile and the City of Tustin planned to erect a 65 foot cell phone tower at the back end of the park near the gate to Peters Canyon Elementary school. The proposal received approval from the Tustin Zoning Commission despite vigorous opposition at the public meeting on Wednesday, October 20th. Due in large part to additional opposition raised by local residents in the days following this meeting, and at the request of Tustin City Council Member Doug Davert, the Zoning Commission decision was vacated on October 27th, and a public hearing before the Planning Commission was set for December 14, 2010, to allow for additional public input.
T-Mobile has redesigned the proposed installation to look like 3, 45' tall flag poles located in the parking area of the park. While this is a better design, it will only accommodate their equipment and, if another carrier wants to place an installation in the park additional towers must be built.
Let them know you are not happy about this!
Write an email to Robert Dotson the President of T-Mobile or Jim Ailing the COO.
If you would like to get involved or join our email list please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
|Our Position
We are not opposed to the use of cell phones and wireless technology, and acknowledge that cell phone coverage in the Peters Canyon area of Tustin Ranch is sub-standard. However, we feel that Cedar Grove Park is no place for a cell tower due to its historic significance, scenic beauty, and close proximity to Peters Canyon Elementary and Pioneer Middle Schools. We also feel that a tower at this location will have a negative impact on property values of homes nearby. Once it is done, it cannot be undone.
|Desired Goal
Our goal is to convince the Planning Commission, Tustin City Council, and T-Mobile to consider alternate sites for a cell tower to serve the needs of the Peters Canyon area that will have less negative impact on the neighboring communities.
Many cities around Southern California are in battles with their city officials and T-Mobile, or other cell service providers, due to the proliferation of cell towers in residential neighborhoods. Often the first notice residents have of a tower going up is when the construction crews arrive to start breaking ground. We advocate greater transparency in the selection process of these sites and inclusion of the local residents in the final approval to assure that the best possible site is selected and the negative impacts to the community are minimized.
An alternate location for a cell installation exists just 400 yards from Cedar Grove Park at the Orange County Fire Authority complex on Jamboree Road. Two cell towers have been approved for construction there and Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint have already agreed to place their equipment at this facility. We feel T-Mobile should do the same.

Some guy worked out that you could selectively drown out the vuvuzela sounds to a great extent by completely turning down the 300 kHz setting on the audio equalizer, cause that's the frequency they operate at. I guess thats what the TV stations themselves are doing.
'You will look very silly said Mr Salteena with a dry laugh.
Well so will you said Ethel in a snappy tone and she ran out of the room with a very superier run throwing out her legs behind and her arms swinging in rithum.
Well said the owner of the house she has a most idiotick run.'
So if the vuvuzela is a traditionally African thing, what is with the massive over sized glasses that I see people in the crowd wear? An Elton John Appreciation Society?
Why is everyone here assuming that the morons blowing this "made in china" (I don't know what is South African about it) product are South African? By far the most "vuvus per person" have been amongst the Portugese fans.. I've heard about six in the crowd even in the England v Australia cricket..
Its simply people who want to sit and watch a game in peace, versus people who don't care if there are people who want to sit down and watch a game in peace..
Its been a massive stain on the world cup, obviously, but I'll take that because pretty much everything has been run very nicely.. (apart from the refereeing but thats not our fault)
You can't claim the same with Europe. Especially England and Germany.
It's similar with Asia too. Plenty of my mates from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia were hoping South Korea did really well.
When I lived in Singapore in 2002 the whole nation was behind South Korea.
