Too much cotton and too many peanuts has kept prices low throughout the 2012 growing season and the economic outlook isn't too rosy for next year as both crops seem headed toward large, if not record, crops this year.
The latest USDA reports have peanut production in the U.S. set at 3,832 pounds per acre, which is up 446 pounds per acre from last year. If harvest weather continues to be excellent, this could be the highest yielding peanut crop on record.
Price is another issue! According to some reports as much as 50 percent of Georgia's peanut crop was grown without a contract. Though not as severe, it is likely some of the peanut crop in all Southeastern states was likewise grown without benefit of the contract. Selling peanuts into the government loan will be a losing proposition for many of these growers.
Peanut industry experts warned growers prior to planning time against over-planting. With plenty of peanuts already in the pipeline before the 2012 crop was planted, it seems apparent there will be an over-supply of peanuts and correspondingly low prices for the 2013 crop.
Cotton growers throughout the Southeast definitely planted fewer acres in 2012. The optimism for what had the potential to be a record crop was literally dampened by fall rains. Despite losses from wet weather, the 2012 cotton crop is still expected to be up by 11 percent from 2011 production.
Cotton industry insiders fear a similar size acreage reduction in the Southeast may be in order for next year. Continued instability in cotton prices, combined with high grain prices will make it difficult for cotton to compete for acreage into 2013 crop.
For beleaguered livestock producers in the Southeast the news is not good. The USDA estimates soybean production will be down by 9 percent from 2011 production. Combined with below average production in other parts of the world, it appears that global demand for soybean meal and oil will remain high and so will prices.
North Carolina has the largest acreage of soybeans among the Southeastern states and is usually a good barometer for overall production in the region. This year's crop is estimated to average 35 bushels per acre, 1 bushel above the record yield set in 2009. Production is forecast to total 53.9 million bushels, up 30 percent from last year, and harvested acres are projected at 1.54 million acres, up 180,000 acres from 2011.
Corn production in the U.S. is estimated to be down by 13 percent from 2011 production levels.
Though corn production in most Southeastern states is projected to be up slightly, severe losses in key corn producing states in the Midwest seem certain to drive overall production down.
The combination of losses in both soybean and corn production seems certain to keep prices high. Subsequently, high grain prices seem destined to keep livestock numbers down.
In general, U.S. producers grew too much of commodities that are in an over-supply situation and not enough of crops that are in high demand on a global basis. This combination of production and economic realities is sure to make crop planning difficult for Southeastern growers in 2013.

The Bold & the Beautiful: Decorating with Patterned Chairs
Milo Baughman's graphic chair in Photo 2 is the inspiration for today's post. Graphically patterned chairs are fun and show a confident sense of style. They work great in small spaces as well as large ones, and the graphic pattern breaks up the monotony of solid shapes in the landscape of the room. The best way to get this look is to reupholster something you already own. You'll be amazed by the transformation of grandma's favorite chair. Reupholstering gives a lot of bang for the buck and adds instant style to any space. Read more for details.
Green Your Style:
All of the chairs featured above are vintage. Almost all of them have been reupholstered. Before trashing an old chair, try to see the diamond in the rough. Opt to have it reupholstered, rather than thrown out or donated. You'll be amazed by the transformation of grandma's favorite chair.

To avoid a budget shortfall of $35,000 to $40,000, the Sid Williams Theatre Society has asked Comox council for an increase of $10,000 in grant funding.
At Wednesday's council meeting, Catherine Miller, president of the SWTS, explained 2012 was a baseline year for the society, as it was the first full year of working within structural and regulatory changes implemented in 2011.
"Despite not meeting all of our budget expectations, the Sid Williams Theatre Society is in improved financial shape from when we met with you a year ago," she said.
Last year, the SWTS requested from council a grant for a $20,000, and received $15,000.
Miller noted due to sacrifices by staff, postponed equipment updates, and no cost-of-living increases as a result from fewer funds received from local government grants, the SWTS is in improved financial shape from a year ago.
She did add the deferrals cannot be repeated in 2013.
"They are what created the problems in 2010, and neither the volunteer board or theatre operations can afford to repeat the past two and a half years."
Miller noted the City of Courtenay assisted with a one-time grant of $60,000, which provided critical operating capital.
"We exited 2011 with a $30,000 capital deficit that would have shut the society down if not for this grant," she explained.
She said operational needs must be funded properly or the society exposes clients, patrons and staff to undue risk and unacceptable liability.
"Without adequate funding, we have no chance of achieving our operational mission or other society mandates and goals," Miller added.
She said other community theatres throughout the province with similar mandates and operations receive an average of 40 per cent of their operational revenue from local government funding.
"Prior to 2011, we were required to operate at between 25 to 28 per cent and the results were not satisfactory. We just kept falling further behind, culminating in our difficulties through 2010 and the required ongoing response initiated in 2011."
Miller added although their budget for 2013 does not address the issue of building capital reserves, the society must build adequate reserves for operational cash flow, capital replacement and to weather unexpected circumstances that could interrupt programming.
She explained the SWTS receives funding from its operations, City of Courtenay contributions and Comox Valley recreational culture funding (discretionary grants from Courtenay, Comox and the Comox Valley Regional District).
The SWTS believes this portion of funding should be aligned more equitably among the three governments, she said.
This year, using population stats from the 2011 census, the society is requesting $25,000 from the Town.
Miller also asked the Town to consider finding a way to fund the organization and other similar ones on a more stable basis through a budget line item, rather than approving discretionary grants every year.
Mayor Paul Ives said the request will be considered as council works through and approves the budget in the coming weeks.

|Image handlers (in essex)
George asks in the comments on my previous post about loop and nbd devices an interesting question about the behavior of this code on essex. I figured the question was worth bringing out into its own post so that its more visible. I've edited George's question lightly so that this blog post flows reasonably.
Can you please explain the order (and conditions) in which the three methods are used? In my Essex installation, the "img_handlers" is not defined in nova.conf, so it takes the default value "loop,nbd,guestfs". However, nova is using nbd as the chose method.The handlers will be used in the order specified -- with the caveat that loop doesn't support Copy On Write (COW) images and will therefore be skipped if the libvirt driver is trying to create a COW image. Whether COW images are used is configured with the use_cow_images flag, which defaults to True. So, loop is being skipped because you're probably using COW images.
My ssh keys are obtained by cloud-init, and still whenever I start a new instance I see in the nova-compute.logs this sequence of events:This is a bit harder than the first bit of the question. What I think is happening is that there are files being injected, and that's causing the mount. Just because the admin password isn't being inject doesn't mean that other things aren't being injected still. You'd be able to tell what's happening by grepping your logs for "Injecting .* into image" and seeing what shows up.qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd15 /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-0000076d/disk kpartx -a /dev/nbd15 mount /dev/mapper/nbd15p1 /tmp/tmpxGBdT0 umount /dev/mapper/nbd15p1 kpartx -d /dev/nbd15 qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd15I don't understand why the mount of the first partition is necessary and what it happens when the partition is mounted.

"I drink to make other people more interesting." ~ Ernest Hemingway
A while ago, me and Paris created our cocktail bar. The weather was warm and we saw it as an opportunity to create a small summer bar with of course lots of alcohol. We enjoy drink cocktails when the sun is shining bright. It somehow always reminds us of the days where you can sit on the balcony until the sun goes down. Unfortunately soon after, Belgian weather returned. No opportunity was given to really test our little bar. We tasted "white Lady", a cocktail with gin, lemon juice and cointreau. A fresh drink that dated from 1919. A perfect aperitif. Here some pictures of our creation. Lets hope the summer will be here soon. Have a wonderful weekend!

We're here at the lush Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, where Nintendo has started its 2006 E3 Media Briefing.
Nintendo got off to a flashy start, one fitting the production values of this glamorous Hollywood stage, home to Academy Awards. The stage show is a well-coordinated display of lights and video--and enthusiastic Nintendo reps evangelizing about the future--all delivered to a crowd of 3000.
They've offered few specifics on the Wii--the company's upcoming console--so far. Nintendo is still mum on the ship date and price, but has confirmed that Wii is coming in the forth quarter of 2006. They've also confirmed that 27 games will be on display at the show (though how many of these might be available at launch was not discussed).
In spite of sidestepping the price issue, Reggie Fils-Aime, chief marketing officer at Nintendo enthuses, "You'll get more fun for less money." Presumably, this statement infers that the Wii will sell for less than its competitors from Microsoft and Sony.
The slogan today is playing = believing. Much of this believing revolves around the immersive experience that the Wii's new motion-sensitive controller will provide. The rectangular controller is starkly simple in its design--an approach that Nintendo president Satoru Iwata believes will be vital to achieving Nintendo's mission with the Wii.
"Our goal is to expand the total number of people playing games," says Iwata. "To do this, we needed to target gamers who played and had lost interest, as well as those who have never played."
The one-handed design of the new controller, adds Iwata, "breaks down the barrier for non-gamers. The most difficult job is to approach people who have never played before."
At launch, Nintendo plans to have baseball, golf, and tennis games available, all of which take advantage of the new controller's ability to translate physical motions into game actions.
The controller is wired (unlike Sony's newly-announced Bluetooth motion-sensitive controller). Unique to Nintendo's controller is the ability to provide the movement, or depth, to sounds you'll encounter in gameplay. This is thanks to its integrated speaker: You'll hear sound travel from the remote to the TV as you shoot an arrow or gun, for example.
The event included several game demos--including The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, which will ship at the same time as the Wii launches.
Most interesting to me was the lack of discussion about what kind of storage medium Wii will use, and the talk by Fils-Aimes that Nintendo's position is "what's hot is the feel of the game, not what it looks like.
Indeed, from the clips shown, that is Nintendo's tactic. The games for Wii that audiences had a glimpse at still looked very cartoony, and very much like a video game; they lacked the photorealism exhibited by Sony PlayStation 3 at yesterday's preview event.

Omix-Ada Polyethylene Gas Tank - Tankfully YoursPosted in How To on May 1, 2010
Stored 4x4s can suffer from bad gas. Over time gas oxidizes, making it gummy. Eventually, what was once liquid turns to hard varnish. The result is plugged fuel filters, fuel pumps, and carburetors. For mild bad-gas woes, the fix can be as simple as draining the old fuel, changing the filters, and running new gas with aftermarket fuel-system cleaner to de-gunk the lines, pump, and carburetor (the factory Jeep Universal Service Manual also recommends acetone as a fuel-system solvent).
Most degraded-fuel problems aren't that easy to solve, though. We had a worst-case scenario in a 1969 CJ-5, which got parked and stored without having the tank drained and engine run till the carb was empty. The Jeep was converted to an electric fuel pump, which became inoperable from varnish. Carburetor dissection showed both severe funk and rust. Instead of attempting a Band-Aid fix, we decided to start from scratch. Rusty gas tanks can be almost as expensive to fix as to replace. Some radiator shops chemically clean and de-scale gas tanks, but this service is becoming a lost art in many heavily environmentally-regulated areas. Do-it-yourself tank-sealing chemicals might be an option for owners of oddball 4x4s that don't have readily available replacement tanks.
For Jeep owners, Omix-Ada is a one-stop source for new fuel-system parts. In addition to OE and reproduction parts, the company also stocks polyethylene gas tanks for most popular Jeeps. Since our CJ's underseat tank had a rust problem, we decided to go the poly route to avoid additional problems down the road. However, using an OE-spec tank makes for a more straightforward installation.
The first step is determining what you actually have before finalizing what you need. We assumed our underseat tank was stock but discovered that a previous owner had apparently swapped a four-banger fuel tank into a factory-V-6 CJ (either that or Kaiser only had four-cylinder tanks in stock the day this particular Jeep was assembled). The shells are the same, but the sending units and tank bungs are different. Also, our previous electric fuel-pump conversion eliminated the OE fuel-return line.
Gas cap configurations also vary depending on vehicle. To keep the gas tank from distorting, the system needs a way to relieve excess pressure. Some vehicles use a vented gas cap for this purpose; others have a sealed cap with a pressure-relief valve somewhere in the system. Omix-Ada has both cap styles and can help Jeep owners determine what they need.
Tank replacement is fairly brainless. Obviously, the sending unit must be ground to metal when using a poly tank in order for the float level to be transmitted to the gauge. Also, this particular tank setup uses screws and clamps to secure the sending unit to the poly tank. Overtorquing the screws will strip the plastic holes.
Final Notes: We plumbed in Proform two-stage glass-bodied fuel filters to prevent against any further particulate mayhem. The Proform system filters down to 30 microns, ensuring that the carburetor won't get any chunks larger than it can pass. Also, our Jeep's OE Rochester 2-Jet carburetor uses an internal sintered bronze fuel filter. We tried to replace the old one with a modern paper model, which didn't fit. Amazingly, our local Napa store had the correct sintered filter in stock.
The photos here show highlights of what it takes to revive a Jeep that has fallen victim to bad gas. We also added fuel stabilizer to its first fresh fill-up.

(CNN) -- The reasons why people take their own lives aren't always clear, mental health experts say; a multitude of biological and psychological factors may be involved in how individuals respond to difficult circumstances in life.
The world may never know everything that contributed to the apparent suicide of Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse who took a prank call from Australian radio DJs pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.
Saldanha's name became public only after her death. She was found hanging from a wardrobe door at her hospital living quarters, a coroner's court in London heard Thursday. Saldanha left three notes; the contents were not made public.
She worked as a nurse at King Edward VII's Hospital, where Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was being treated last week for acute morning sickness. Saldanha put the call through to the ward where Prince William's wife was staying. A different nurse gave out information about Catherine's condition.
Autopsy results in prank nurse death
Radio network: 'Witch hunt' against DJs
Radio station faces criticism
Australian DJs break silence over prank
Who was nurse Jacintha Saldanha?
Even before Saldanha's death, the chief executive of the hospital, John Lofthouse, condemned the prank as "pretty deplorable." Her apparent suicide has sparked an international outcry.
"It's certainly possible, but it's not likely, that someone who never thought about suicide before, if there was something uniquely shaming or embarrassing or humiliating about this, that it just triggered them," said Nadine Kaslow, professor of psychology at the Emory University School of Medicine.
"What's more likely is that they might have thought about suicide at other times in their life," she said.
This wasn't just any prank. It was a public event, and a mistake that could have potentially gotten Saldanha in trouble, Kaslow said.
"You feel ashamed; you feel frightened," Kaslow said. "To think that you got the chance to talk to one of the royals, and then it turns out you talked to people who are from the radio station, you feel like a fool."
Intense emotions of guilt and shame are difficult for people to deal with, she said. A person in Saldanha's situation may have felt ashamed, thinking she had let her country down, or afraid of what the consequences would be.
A palace spokesman told CNN previously: "At no point did the palace complain to the hospital about the incident. On the contrary, we offered our full and heartfelt support to the nurses involved and hospital staff at all times."
There's not always a clear cause of suicide, experts say. Some people are more vulnerable than others to anxiety and depression, said Alan Manevitz, a family psychiatrist in New York.
"Some people have more natural resilience to stressors than others," Manevitz said.
Having a mental illness is a risk factor for suicide, but not everyone who takes their own life is mentally ill, Kaslow said. Sometimes a person who is already feeling stressed or fragile can be pushed to the brink with an incident like this.
"For other people, it's actually that they're doing OK, but a stressor has a unique power to them, and in that moment they just feel unable to cope or manage," Kaslow said.
Other risk factors for suicide include alcohol and substance abuse, family conflict, major loss, family history of suicide, physical illness and feelings of hopelessness and isolation. But there's still a lot that scientists don't know about why some people turn to suicide and others do not, even when facing the same traumatic incident.
No information has been released about whether Saldanha had any risk factors for suicide.
A stressor such as getting fired or not having enough money to pay a bill can be devastating to some people and less so for to others. Similarly, when a group of people suffers a traumatic event, not everyone will react in the same way. Some may take their own lives.
"Why some people get PTSD and some people don't and why some people become suicidal and some people don't may be based a combination of biological, psychological (factors) and ways that they react to stressors," Manevitz said. "It's not such a simple answer."
Nurse death sparks outrage, casts glare on 'shock jocks'
The unfortunate turn of events is an important reminder that pranks can be hurtful and result in tragic unintended consequences, Manevitz said.
"I think this is a world lesson for everyone about treating everyone with more sincerity and genuineness and straightforwardness, and we don't have to do everything just to entertain ourselves," Manevitz said.
Not everyone wants their 15 minutes of celebrity, especially when it's unexpected, Manevitz said. Media attention may create a lot of anxiety, as well.
The hospital said Saldanha had worked there for more than four years as an "excellent nurse," and that she was well-respected by coworkers. Classmates and colleagues in India, where she was from, described her as deeply religious, studious and benevolent.
"It's very sad that for whatever reason or reasons, this situation just felt so overwhelming to her that she felt there was no way to face the world," Kaslow said.

from the in-case-you-were-wondering dept
The first bad decision was to use a caller-ID spoofer to make it look like the collection call was coming from plaintiff's mother in law. The next not-smart use of technology was to access plaintiff's MySpace page, learn that plaintiff had a daughter, and to use that fact to intimidate plaintiff. There was evidence in the record to suggest that the collection agency's "investigator" said to plaintiff, after mentioning plaintiff's "beautiful daughter," something to the effect of "wouldn't it be terrible if something happened to your kids while the sheriff's department was taking you away?"The woman sued the collections agency and won, as the court found that the agency "engaged in conduct the natural consequence of which was to harass, oppress, or abuse in connection with the collection of the debt; used false, deceptive, or misleading representations or means in connection with the collection of the debt; and used unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect the debt."

Vancouver Canucks left winger Alex Burrows is set to miss a month of action after taking a puck to the face from a teammate.
The away side were leading the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in the second quarter, courtesy of two goals from Ryan Kesler, but in the 12th minute, Burrows faced a painful moment.
Chris Tanev went to clear the puck, but it caught Burrows in the jaw, causing the player to fall on the ice, before skating down the tunnel in agony, with blood dripping, but the Canadian returned in the 3rd quarter to play the rest of the game.
Reporting to ESPN, Canucks' coach John Tortorella was not surprised that Burrows continued with a broken jaw - stating that's the type of player he is.
"That's what everybody loves about him, that's what he's about." Tortorella commented. "You can tell something was bothering him, watching the game back, but he played and he played really well, and it doesn't surprise me."
The left winger has played in 12 of their last 30 matches, and in his last game against the Hurricanes the forward pulled off three great blocks, including a save on the goal-line to prevent an equaliser in the third quarter.
The Canucks faced another away game against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night, which they won 3-1; Ryan Kesler again scoring twice.
The Canadian's will be hosting their next game against the Phoenix Coyotes, to whom they've already lost to this season, drawing 2-2 after the three quarters, before losing 1-0 in the shoot-out.
Tortorella was confident going into their Nashville encounter, but has belief his side can push on without Burrows.
"We'll miss Burrows in the room a lot that's they type of guy we need, but we need to find a way to get by," he added.

In "Mind Games," a new ABC drama-with-comedy premiering Tuesday, Steve Zahn and Christian Slater play brothers setting themselves up in the manipulation business.
"We change people's minds without them knowing we did it," is how brother Clark Edwards (Zahn) describes their work, which takes "little observations" about human behavior "that had just been lying around in academic journals" and turns them into "powerful tools" to achieve desired outcomes. There is reference also to Jedi mind tricks.
If it is not the Steve Zahn series the fan club might have desired after the death of HBO's "Treme," which used his shaggy, unfocused exuberance to great effect, it is still a Steve Zahn series, and there should always be one of those, one feels. Here he plays a brilliant behavioral scientist who is also bipolar; that he has been given this self-dividing affliction seems almost inevitable in light of the fact that "Mind Games" creator Kyle Killen was also behind the late series "Lone Star," about bigamy, and "Awake," about a man living in two realities.
BEST TV OF 2013 Lloyd | McNamara
The pilot finds Clark more consistently manic than is practicable — he is off his meds because "drugs stop the music" and "music is where all the ideas come from" — both for the business he is trying to start and perhaps for the viewer at home. Every so often he tosses the furniture around, either out of frustration or in the name of scientific feng shui, or both. In a later episode available for review, he calms down a bit.
As brother Ross, who has served time for securities fraud — he is the more practical brother, in other words — Slater is not far from his last television outing, as a thief-turned-security-consultant on Fox's "Breaking In." As an actor, and at 44, Slater still seems to drag behind him the train of his callow screen youth; though busy, and certainly busier than he was in the 1990s, he has yet to find his redefining Rob Lowe moment.
His new show also needs to find its voice. Still, if there is something in its premise that recalls the straining-for-effect, too-clever-to-start setups of series like USA's "Psych" and "Suits," the first of those managed to run eight seasons in the end, and the latter has already been renewed for a fourth. In the gentler environment of basic cable, with a little time to refine its tone, "Mind Games" would certainly do similarly well. Network TV, of course, is a more desperate place, but I am not ready to pull the sheet over this yet.
PHOTOS: Faces to watch 2014 | TV
The show it most resembles is another basic-cable series, TNT's late "Leverage," in which a team of hustlers aided the weak in their ongoing fight against the strong — "Mind Games " too has a sentimental streak for a backbone — but with the addition of terms like "adrenalized implantation," "cover memory reactivation" and "contiguous consumption compliance window."
"Sudden negative reinforcement alleviates reluctance," Clark says after he has told an associate to quit whining.
"I'm familiar with yelling at people," Ross says. "You don't need to explain it."
Like "Leverage," and every caper-ish entertainment that stakes its payoff on human beings behaving like atomic particles, "Mind Games" does require an ongoing suspension of disbelief. It is less scientific than it is "scientific."
And yet one also senses that Clark and Ross and their customarily motley crew have less control over things than they imagine. Much goes wrong, or goes right unpredictably. The show's salvation, creatively at least, may be in such occasional failures more than in the mandated victories.

Today also marks the end of meat eating for Orthodox Christians as we get closer to the beginning of Great Lent. Fasting is an ancient practice of cleansing and preparation, and every person must discern how best to practice the fast with regards to their own health limitations, and with the help of their priest/spiritual father. Nursing and pregnant moms, as well as those with severe dietary allergies, and of course young children, are exempt from fasting.
Fasting while also being grain-free is a big challenge, since most vegans/vegetarians rely heavily on grains for protein and calories. I'm going to rely heavily on vegetables, seafood, and good fats to nourish us during this period while still keeping the spirit of the fast.
Click here for my nutritional tips on fasting with traditional nutrition principles.
Thankfully, the executives at Kroger, Inc. felt lead to put a large variety of fresh, wild-caught seafood on sale this week at Fred Meyer and I'm going to take advantage of the good prices on wild, Northwest-caught shrimp meat ($3.99/lb) , wild bay scallops ($3.99 /lb), wild Alaskan cod ($5.99/lb), and wild Alaskan whole sockeye salmon($3.99/lb) and stock my freezer so that we can enjoy good sources of protein and good fats during the fast. I'll also be taking advantage of some rock-bottom prices on broccoli and cauliflower ($0.68/lb!!!) to use in soups, stir-fries, or simply steamed with butter to form the basis of our grain-free, thrifty meals.
Remember, the way to eat nourishing without spending a bunch of money is to look for the deals on meat, poultry, and seafood as well as produce and build your menu on those things. Then, round out your meals with whatever you have on hand. And remember, you don't need lots and lots of meat per meal; only about the size of a deck of cards! Serve a cheap, nourishing soup (made from homemade stock) with your protein in order to better digest and assimilate its nutrients.
*Items in green are on my shopping list this week.**All other items "using what I have".
B: eggs, fruit, leftover muffins
L: leftover veggie curry, kids: leftover sloppy joes
D: scallop/veggie stir-fry
B: green smoothies & acorn squash muffins

Talk:SAN Box used via iSCSI
- Explicit device-thresholds seems to be useless, Solaris powers down everything it can. Should try an explicit device-thresholds with system-threshold always-on.
- Even with tpg defined, a target still listens on all NICs, but the port seems to taken into account....... Bug?
- Why format does protest with:
WARNING - This disk may be in use by an application that has modified the fdisk table. Ensure that this disk is not currently in use before proceeding to use fdisk
Thus requiring to manually create a partition with format -> fdisk before being partitioned? ZFS/COMSTAR bug? It does not seems to be a thin provisioning issue at first glance.
- What about 4k sector alignment required by new hard-drives? iSCSI is transparent for that?
- device-thresholds: Solaris respects power savings requirements so yes if it can it will, my goald here was an attempt to control the delays. Some green drives ignore them.
- tpg: same here, the target listen for connections on all addresses... It sounds like a bug! Functional descriptions are not the same than the seen behaviours.
- I did't use fdisk I give the whole disk to eat to ZFS and it deals nicely with it (a GPT table is created automatically).
- 4k sectors: Solaris seems to handle 4k sectors (at the condition the drive does not lie on the physical sector size). I would say that iSCSI should pay attention ("direct" access), impacts on an access through a zvol on a pool is still a very good question.

Welcome to Ask PFE Plat's coverage of the next chapter in Microsoft's on-going refinement of Windows. As with 8.1, we continue to evolve and improve the OS and last week, at the Build 2014 conference, we released "Windows 8.1 Update" to MSDN. On Tuesday, April 8th, the Update will be released to the Windows Update Catalog, Windows Update and WSUS channels.
Our prior post on the "dot 1" update to Windows 8 RTM from October of last year sparked great conversation – in fact, it was our most-commented post; we (PFEs and Microsoft as a whole) appreciate the feedback and discussion. Several of us have been chomping at the bit to bring you details of the changes coming with this Update. This is a "roundtable post" with discussion from myself (Michael Hildebrand), Jeff "The Dude" Stokes, Kyle Blagg, Mark Morowczynski and who can talk about Windows 8 without talking to Joao Botto?
Let's roll…
The Update, as we'll call it here, is actually a series of packages that install collectively and provide UI and functionality improvements (many geared towards keyboard/mouse users), a big IE feature-add as well as some heavy-lifting internal changes to Windows boot structures and memory/resource awareness and management. For additional information, check out the following:
- http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2014/04/02/windows-8-1-update-important-refinements-to-the-windows-experience.aspx
- http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/springboard/archive/2013/10/18/windows-8-1-update-the-it-pro-perspective.aspx
This post will focus mostly on the UI changes – there may be future AskPFE Platforms posts that dive into some of the other aspects of the Update.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's cover a few heads-up/FAQ comments:
It will likely change your system's current behavior:
For starters, unless the device is a tablet, a system with this update will boot to the desktop by default
- You can still choose one way or another but I was surprised when I rebooted and was taken to my desktop instead of my Start screen
- See the chart further down in the post for a clear list of what default settings are changed and how
- It does NOT include the Start menu that you may have seen/heard about at the recent Build conference. That is some exciting near-future stuff, which demonstrates our on-going commitment to deliver on customer feedback (such as your comments on this very blog)
- It is defined as an "Important – Security update" in our Windows Updates framework
- It is a cumulative update to Windows 8.1 that includes all previously released security and non-security updates
It is a required update to keep your Windows 8.1 device current
- See this blog for more details –http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/springboard/archive/2013/10/18/windows-8-1-update-the-it-pro-perspective.aspx
Windows 8.1 is a prerequisite (vs Windows 8 RTM)
- Windows 8.1 media/WIMs/TechNet ISOs/Store bits/etc will be slipstreamed with this Update in the near term
- KB2919442 is a pre-requisite update – released in March 2014 – you'll need this before 2919355 will be recognized
Additional info can be found in the KB – which obviously, you should read
The Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) has been updated to accommodate the changes to Windows with this Update
To get the Update, make sure you are running Windows 8.1 and then hit Windows Update or the Windows Download Center.
Let's start with Start
Now that you have everything installed and your reboots are done, sign in and make your way to the Start screen. You'll notice a few things that folks have asked for:
Many of you have adapted with a variety of ways to turn off or reboot your PC, but now, there is a simple power UI on Start. Handy-dandy!
- A quick note on 'Sleep' – Have you tried the 'Sleep' functionality recently? On prior generation devices, I never had much luck with Sleep. It seemed like it took longer to go to sleep than to shut my old laptop down, and resuming seemed to take longer than a full boot up. However, with the newer devices, SSDs and Windows 8, I find sleep a much-improved experience and very close to an 'instant on' solution that I prefer most of the time to a typical shutdown.
- However, on some devices you may not see the Power button. On devices that are not tablets like laptops, desktop PCs and All-in-Ones, the Power button should appear on the Start screen after installing the update. On most tablets you will not see the Power button on the Start screen as they have connected standby and a physical power button that lets you quickly shut down or put the device to sleep. However, on tablets larger than 8.5-inches without connected standby, you will see the Power button on the Start screen.
- For more information please see- http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2014/04/10/some-tips-and-tricks-for-using-the-windows-8-1-update.aspx
- Again, many of you have likely learned to "just type" on the Start screen for searching but we've added a clickable Search icon that will 'fly-out' the Search box – this helps visual people like me. I often wondered where my typing was going in the early days of Win8.
If you're using a mouse, you can now right-click Tiles and get a familiar "context" style menu to manipulate them.
Some of the early Windows 8 feedback was that folks didn't like booting to the Start screen. With Windows 8.1, you could choose – boot to Desktop or boot to Start.
That flexibility remains unchanged in this Update but going forward, there are new defaults – as mentioned before, Windows 8.1 Update now boots to the desktop as the default unless the device is a tablet form factor.
There is a new group of Tiles that are added to a new user's Start screen for some of the more commonly-used settings/locations:
- This PC (a.k.a. "My Computer")
- PC Settings
- Documents
- Pictures
- You will *NOT* see these added to your established Start screen – only new profiles get these
- Windows RT users only get the "PC Settings" Tile
The Apps View
Let's review some of the changes that you'll find in relation to the Apps view.
First off, when you install a new application(s), now there is an indicator and count at the bottom of the Start screen.
Click the arrow or swipe-up into the Apps view. Those new Apps are highlighted and have a bright blue NEW next to the title (this will go away once you click/open the new App).
The columns have been made wider and spacing increased to account for applications with longer names.
You can sort your Apps your way and now, clicking on the headings will zoom-out so you can jump through your installed applications quicker.
You can subtly shrink the icons in the Apps view to fit even more Apps into the screen, if you so desire:
- From within the Apps view, bring up Settings > Tiles
- Slide the "Show more apps in the Apps view" slider to Yes
This can be VERY helpful if you have a lot of Apps installed:
Desktop Changes and Integration with Modern Apps
Now that we've covered the Start screen and App view changes, let's flip to the Desktop and talk about some of the big changes there.
One recurring request for Windows 8 has been to facilitate a better "connection" between the Modern UI and Windows Store Apps with the traditional Desktop. In 8.1, the ability to show your Desktop background on the Start screen helped. This Update furthers the integration between the Desktop and Modern UI/Apps.
For starters, you likely already noticed the bright green icon in your Taskbar for the Store after installing the Update….
Yes, friends, you can now pin Store Apps to your Taskbar.
But wait – there's more! Not only can you pin Store Apps to the Taskbar; now, running Store Apps can show up on your Taskbar, just like a traditional Desktop App would.
You can see the App's thumbnail and operate any controls, such as skipping/pausing songs in the updated Xbox Music App, and close the App, too.
If you'd rather not have Modern Apps taking up that precious real estate on your Taskbar, once again, we provide you the choice of configuration.
- Right click the Taskbar and select Properties – you'll see the following new option (highlighted below) which you are free to select/deselect:
After the Update Before the Update (for comparison)
Another option to consider – drag your Taskbar up and make it 2x tall – you'll have more space for a bevy of Apps – Modern and/or traditional
Modern Apps get "minimize" and "close" buttons as part of this Update. I am still a frequent keyboard/mouse user and these two controls make multi-tasking among my open apps more intuitive with how I'm used to working.
In order to see these, hover the mouse pointer at the top of the App.
Also, there is a right-click context menu for splitting the running App across the right or left half of your Desktop (along the lines of the "snap" feature)
DUDE!? – where's my MINIMIZE?!
Depending on your settings, you may not see the "Minimize" option for Modern Apps.
Above, I showed how to configure Taskbar settings so Modern Apps are displayed on the Taskbar:
That checkbox also determines if you'll see the Minimize "bar" (checked) or not (unchecked) for a Modern App.
- You'll get the close "X" button either way
- You can pin Modern Apps to the Taskbar regardless, too
One more aspect of the tighter integration between the traditional Desktop and the Modern UI/Apps – the Taskbar can be brought up while using a Store App or on the Start screen.
When the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" option is checked, drag your mouse downward along the very bottom of the screen. The Taskbar will slide up and you can use it to switch between Apps, access the Start button, etc.
- You can see the Taskbar on the Start screen regardless of the "Show Store apps on the taskbar" setting
There are some additional changes to OS behavior that may catch you by surprise – here's a chart to help clarify:
Default Behavior and Settings
Device Type
Before Windows 8.1 Update
After Windows 8.1 Update
App-specific Changes
The Update introduces changes to some of the in-box Apps such as:
Internet Explorer 11
- There are changes to both the Modern and Desktop versions
- A future post here will dive into the details of these changes
Updated throughout the OS to reflect the new name, OneDrive
- OneDrive has recently-enhanced features, such as manual Sync and Taskbar icons to provides the status of synchronization
Modern UI
We've added helpful additions to some of the Modern UI screens
Disk Space
- Easily keep tabs on the amount space that your Apps take up and uninstall them right from here (click "See my app sizes")
Rename your PC and/or change domain membership with a tap or a click:
The WiFi 'fly-out' returns
- A context menu provides convenient controls for managing WiFi network connections
- This was removed in Windows 8.1
Touch and touch-keyboard:
- "Tap and a half" is a new, more intuitive touch gesture for touch-pads – allowing you to tap twice but hold second-tap to highlight text or an object, and then drag and drop it.
Hide or bring up the touch keyboard:
Well folks, there you have it. Say hello to the Windows 8.1 Update.
Give it a go!

Vrbata stays hot, helps Coyotes defeat Panthersby Alain Poupart
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Forward Radim Vrbata stayed hot while helping the Phoenix Coyotes continue their push for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Vrbata had a goal and two assists when the Coyotes defeated the Florida Panthers 3-1 at BB&T?Center on Tuesday night. He has four goals in the past three games and seven in his past 12.
"You score that one [goal] and you start feeling good about yourself,"?Vrbata said. "You get a couple of lucky bounces. It's like that for lots of guys."
Vrbata gave Phoenix a 3-0 lead at 5:52 of the third period when he converted a 2-on-1 after taking a cross-ice pass from Antoine Vermette. Vrbata scored the only goal in the shootout in the Coyotes' 4-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday,
Mike Ribeiro and Oliver Ekman-Larsson also scored Tuesday for the Coyotes, and goalie Mike Smith made 31 saves after stopping 28 shots against Tampa Bay. Phoenix won consecutive road games for the first time since Nov. 27 and Dec. 3.
The Coyotes swept a back-to-back set for the second time this season; the other instance came Oct. 10-11 when they defeated the Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers.
"You never know what you're going to get on a back-to-back,"???Smith said. "It's a tough turnaround. You're coming in a building where the atmosphere isn't the best, but they're a team that can burn you if you're sleepy in the first period. I???thought we did a really good job to come out and show some spunk and get on the forecheck, which is a big strength of our team. Lots of credit to our guys."
Phoenix (31-24-11) remained one point behind the Dallas Stars for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The Stars, who defeated the St. Louis Blues 3-2 in overtime Tuesday, have a game in hand.
Florida's Brandon Pirri scored on the power play, his first goal since being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on March 2. Roberto Luongo made 23 saves for the Panthers (24-34-7).
The game was the first between the teams since Dec. 20, 2011, when Vrbata scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory. The teams play again March 20 in Phoenix.
Luongo made three starts against the Coyotes this season for the Vancouver Canucks, going 2-0-1 with a 2.52 goals-against average.
"I've played them a ton out West," Luongo said. "They're a very disciplined team, they're patient, they wait for the other team to make mistakes, and obviously they're fighting for a playoff spot right now, every game is important to them. We saw that desperation tonight, guys blocking shots, and finding the net. They did whatever it took to win."
Phoenix has won four of five; the defeat was a 3-2 road loss to the Washington Capitals on Saturday in a game they led 2-0 after two periods.
The Coyotes found themselves with another 2-0 lead after 40 minutes and were able to hang on this time despite being outshot 11-3 in the third period.
"I???thought we started the game very well,"???coach Dave Tippett said. "We had good energy. When you've had a hard go here on the road and a couple of late nights, you want to get a good start. We were able to get a lead. You could tell fatigue was an issue the last 10 or 12 minutes, but I???like the way our guys got through it."
Ribeiro opened the scoring with 2:17 left in the first period on a power play. As he was skating across the front of the net, he tipped Keith Yandle's slap shot from the top of the right circle.
Phoenix's second goal also came off a shot from the point. Ekman-Larsson scored when his wrist shot found its way past Luongo with Coyotes forward Lauri Korpikoski and Panthers defenseman Ed Jovanovski jostling for position in front of the net.
"We worked hard,"???Luongo said. "We threw a lot of pucks at the net, their goalie played well. They got a lucky bounce on the first one. It went off the stick; I don't think he meant to deflect it. I've just got to find a way to make an extra save somewhere, so right now that sums it up. The boys worked really hard tonight."
Pirri scored at 8:54 of the third period when his slap shot went off the sticks of two Phoenix players and up to beat Smith to the glove side. Pirri had a chance to cut the lead with 5:14 left, but Smith made a sliding save on his one-timer.
"You need your goaltender to be solid,"?????????Tippett said. "That's who we are, that's any team; if their goaltending is solid, it gives them a chance every night. Where we are in the standings and the desperation we should be playing with, your goaltender has to take a big part of that. But it's great to see everybody else chip in."
Each team lost a forward to injury. Phoenix's Martin Erat left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury. Florida's Sean Bergenheim sustained a lower-body injury in the second period; he skipped the morning skate for what Panthers coach Peter Horachek called a maintenance day.

The GridIron Mashup (SendGrid + Iron.io = love, flowers, ice-cream, and profits)Kunal Batra
Mashups tend to showcase interesting use cases of APIs in which the sum is greater than the parts. They offer increased productivity at reduced costs. Work flows that once required additional resources now become superfluous. By leveraging multiple SaaS solutions in a single application, we get all this plus the technology benefits of two focused providers.
What better company to showcase such a mashup than Iron.io? Their message queue and worker APIs allow 3rd parties to create asynchronous and scalable architectures. Also, just like SendGrid they have webhooks that allow for an event driven workflow.
Introducing GridIron
SendGrid and Iron.io have been friends for a while, but recently we met up with them at a hackathon and got into an interesting discussion. We were talking about all the beneficial ways in which we could use our services together and decided it would be best to share these awesome examples with our customers.
So today, we are publishing the examples we worked on to showcase some potential use cases of combining SendGrid with Iron.io.
GridIron consists of five main examples right now:
Hello, SendGrid: a simple demonstration of using IronWorker to send emails using SendGrid
Queue-Based Emailing: an evolution of Hello, SendGrid that uses a pull queue to give you a more scalable, robust email sending solution that gives you full control over how quickly emails are sent out.
Fanout: an example that shows how to use IronMQ's push queues to fan out data to multiple processors. In this case, two IronWorker workers receive the data, and they send a text message through Twilio and send an email through SendGrid.
Github Notifications: an example that shows how to use Github's webhooks to trigger IronWorker workers. The workers send emails to the repo owner whenever specified branches are committed to, and ignores the other notifications.
Markov Bot: the most powerful demonstration we could think of, the Markov Bot will accept an email from the Inbound Parse API, use it to queue up a worker, and process that email. The bot will read your first line, and try to guess the next word you'd use, just like your phone does. It then emails back your line, with its guess appended to the end. It's an email bot that was written in about 200 lines of Python.
Normally when you think of services that provide both message queues and transactional email, Amazon comes to mind. However, these services struggle when it comes to webhooks. Amazon SES currently does not have the capability to receive emails. Also to implement webhooks you would have to setup endpoints in EC2 and that requires a lot of overhead. With GridIron you can take advantage of this event-based workflow immediately.
We're really excited to share GridIron with you and we hope our examples are helpful. A big "thank you" to Iron.io for the great collaboration and if you have any ideas for future mashups, leave us a comment below.

Friends, family mourn Brattleboro woman who died swimming in Mass.
Molly McNeil Dowd, 24, died while swimming in the Deerfield River in Conway, Mass., on Sunday, July 6. She was a 2007 graduate of Brattleboro Union High School and lived in a yurt on Bonnyvale Road in Brattleboro. She was the coordinator of the garden at Green Street School and assistant coordinator of the garden at Holton Home, on Western Avenue.
"The most special thing about Molly wasn't the work she did, it was that she gave so freely of herself to everyone, her kindness and her listening ear," said Chelsea Wiehl, Molly's sister. "She really cared for people."
Molly's mother, Katherine Dowd, said her daughter was creative, full of life and intensely smart.
"She had an exuberance, a zest for life, and always cared about people and the earth since she was a little girl," said Katherine. "She was grateful for birdsong, fireflies and friends. She lived in the moment."
According to the Northwestern District Attorney's Office in Northampton, Mass., Molly Dowd was swimming in the Deerfield River with friends when she attempted to cross the river below Dam No. 2 in Conway. Witnesses said Dowd was caught in a whirlpool created by heavy rains and was unable to swim out. On Tuesday, kayakers discovered her body in the river near the Deerfield Academy.
"We are just devastated," said Wiehl, adding her sister's friends have helped the family cope with their loss. "So many people have said how much she touched their lives. It's incredible and a testament to her spirit of who she was."
On Wednesday, a man Wiehl did not know before her sister's death went to Molly's home garden on Bonnyvale Road to weed it. When Wiehl asked him why, she was told that Molly had weeded his garden one day during his wife's recent pregnancy.
"She had all of these wonderful little relationships. She treated everyone like they were really important," said Wiehl.
Lynn Leighton, fourth-grade teacher at Green Street School, said before the school year begins, she will have to figure out a way to break the news to the students that worked with Molly.
"She was unbelievably fantastic with the students," said Leighton. "She loved every single child and honored each of them for their own individual strengths. She was so enthusiastic and so gentle with them. She made learning so much fun. She radiated sunshine, kindness and happiness. She was a breath of fresh air."
Cindy Jerome, Holton Home's executive director, said Molly had worked for the past few years as Abi Healey's assistant in the facility's garden.
"Last week she was putting in a new garden long after sunset and in the rain, so every resident would have something beautiful outside their window," said Jerome. "Molly was so strong. She planted light and joy for us and we will miss her very much."
Molly was also a board member of the Rich Earth Institute in Brattleboro, which is researching the use of human urine as fertilizer.
"Molly joined us as a board fellow last fall with the 'Get on Board' program through Marlboro College," said Kim Nace and Abe Noe-Hays, founders of Rich Earth. "She came for an orientation lunch with another board fellow and Pippy, her dog. It was easy to feel Molly's confidence, energy and commitment. She jumped in to learn and to help."
When the program was over, Molly was invited to become a member of Rich Earth's board.
"She volunteered at every turn, getting ready for events like the Strolling of the Heifers, wielding a screwgun at the farm to build a greenhouse, and showing up at meetings with great ideas, well articulated," said Nace and Noe-Hays. "Molly's spark was very special. Her optimism and thoughtfulness will be remembered and we miss her very much."
Molly's yurt was on the property of Meg Kluge, who is a neighbor to Molly's parents.
Kluge said Molly was around her horses from a young age and saved up money to buy her own horse, which she stabled with the Kluges.
"Molly was one of the most alive people I know. She was open to the world, to other people, to new ideas and adventures. She was one of those special people that lights up the world. She was one of those people who is so joyful that they take joy with them wherever they go and spread it around."
"She had it figured out, what she wanted in life, and she was going for it," said Nace.
Wiehl, 29, said her sister was a joy to be around.
"She was always fun," she said, admitting she was unlike her only sister in that she was more cautious about life. "Without her I would have had much less fun growing up."
But, said Wiehl, what happened on July 6 was just an accident.
"She and some friends were out swimming on a beautiful day. They were just having fun. Nobody was being reckless."
Katherine Dowd said 80 men and women from 11 communities and agencies helped in the search for her daughter.
"Every single one of them had the utmost of compassion for her and for us. They were so honorable."
The Massachusetts State Police was assisted by the Shelburne, Mass., Police Department, the Conway police and fire departments and ambulance service, the Northfield Dive team, Turners Falls Rescue, Greenfield Rescue, police from the railroad and Transcanada.
Molly worked at Brown & Roberts Hardware on Main Street in Brattleboro during high school, said Katherine Dowd.
"She could sell you a chainsaw or grow organic lettuce. She could weed your garden or take care of your child."
Leighton said she hopes to plan something very special in memory of Molly when the school year begins.
"Perhaps we'll plant a tree or start a butterfly garden."
Molly McNeil Dowd was born on Sept. 7, 1989, to Katherine and Ernest Dowd.
Plans to commemorate Molly Dowd's life are still being worked out, but Wiehl said people can do one thing to help remember her until then.
"Give freely of your kindness and love for one another."

Pulsations (06.14.13)
Here are the latest Pulsations, links to fresh stories and visuals about Japan, shout-outs to fellow bloggers, and highly clickable stuff that we think you might enjoy.
In no particular order, they are . . .
- The number of death: Lucky and unlucky numbers in Japan (from LingaLift): In the United States, superstition has led many buildings to lack a 13th floor. In Japan and other Asian counties, the number four carries a similar stigma. Here's a guide on how to avoid sending a damning message.
- Figurine Hair Assemblies by Teppei Kaneuji (from Spoon & Tamago): This artist has made some impressively cohesive works with the colorful plastic follicles. "I don't feel you can state unequivocally that only stuff made from scratch is any good," said Kaneuji.
- Hatsune Miku Debuts in North America this August with Project Diva F for PS3 (from Polygon): The virtual pop idol has made national news in the U.S. and many Americans saw her cruising through downtown Los Angeles in a recent Toyota spot. Will this new video game help her prosper across the Pacific?
- Random Thoughts: Little Culture, Big Culture (from 1,000 Things About Japan): Learning how to say "no" without saying "no." One blogger discusses some of the more difficult elements of culture shock as a Westerner moving to Japan.
- Google Japan by Klein Dytham Architecture (from Dezeen Magazine): Google's new Japan HQ puts a funky twist on the nation's traditional design.
Visual Pulse
Kazuki Yamamoto takes latte art to the next frontier (from Spoon & Tamago): You may have seen latte art before, but probably not like this. If you're a big enough fan, follow his Twitter page, where he posts daily photos for you to enjoy alongside your cup of joe. Recent caffeinated creations include a version of Dali's "The Persistence of Memory".
