Must Read: The Church Planting Wife
I'm linking up with Christine over at Grace Covers Me today as she releases her book, The Church Planting Wife: Help and Hope for Her Heart, and collects heart stories from church planting and ministry wives. Join us?
I personally had the opportunity to read this book and it is fantastic. If you love your pastor's wife you need to buy her this book. Even if you only just sort of like her you should give her this book. If you don't like your pastor's wife, then definitely don't give her this book because your heart might change toward her, and you might end up liking her! 🙂 Any of the following people would greatly benefit from this book: missionary wives, ministry wives, church planting wives, elder's wives, and any wife of a man who is obeying God's call even if it isn't in a church.
How has God used church planting or ministry to change your heart?
There are a few words to describe how the change occurred in my heart during the year and a half my husband and I began church planting. The first is trials. We went through many trials when choose to obey how God had called us. We had to move in with family close to the town where the church plant was because our house hadn't sold yet. After 2 months of tense relationships, we realized we had to move out. So with our 3-year-old and 2 week old baby, we moved into a rental house. With all the added stress of a new baby, moving twice in 3 months, not sleeping well at night, financial pressure from paying a mortgage on a house we no longer lived in, and a new church we got to our breaking point many times. The church itself was going through major trials. As we begun to discuss bylaws for the church there was major divisions. The church was full of immature baby Christians and unbelievers, and they far outnumbered the few strong mature Christians in our church. During that first year of church planting my husband had a ridiculous amount of illnesses and pain. He was sick almost weekly. If there was a sickness going around, my husband had it. He suffered intense headaches, and even tooth pain requiring a removal of the tooth because we couldn't afford a dental crown.
The next word to describe the change: trust. God had called my husband to preach the Word without watering it down and he obeyed because He trusted that God's word is enough. He began small groups and a men's discipleship. God had called me to support my husband and love him and to learn what it meant to be a biblical wife. Through a Bible study that he discovered called "True Woman 101: Divine Design" my heart began to break and soften. I learned my purpose as helpmate to my husband and my call to be a spiritual mother. I trusted God at His word.
The last word to describe the change would be purified. Through the trials and trusting God at His word I became a different person. I loved in one of the chapters of "The Church Planting Wife" when Christine Hoover quoted Jenn Atwell saying "Is God really enough?" My husband and I got to that point. When nothing was going as planned, relationships hung on by a string, financial pressures built up, and we jokingly stated "Now our cars are probably going to crap out?" Was God really enough? We got to the end of ourselves and the answer was: Absolutely. God is always enough, He is all we ever really need. Oh how thankful I am for God putting us through all the trials and hardships. My marriage is stronger than ever and focused on Christ, my oldest son accepted Jesus and asked him to "fix his heart", and my prayer life and study of the Bible has become as necessary to me as eating. So the question of "How has God used church planting to change my heart?" is best answered by saying: He put me through fire to refine and test me. Does fire hurt? It is not only very painful, but it burns. It burns away at the selfishness, pride, disobedience, and distrust. What is left after a fire? A purified life and a changed heart.
Zechariah 13:9: And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested.
Must Read Monday: You Look Ridiculous
You Look Ridiculous by Bernard Waber is a book about a hippo that learns she looks ridiculous. A rhino says she needs a horn, a lion says she needs a mane, and a giraffe says she needs a long neck. All the different jungle animals tell the hippo that she needs to look the way they do. It's a great book about learning to be happy with what you look like and that it is ok to look different than everyone else.

Felt Food that you can Feel
Cut felt into food shapes. I made 1 orange, 2 slices of bread, 3 lettuce slices, 4 slices of cheese, 5 pices of bacon, and 6 grapes. This is a fun way to teach counting and it is the only food that is exceptable to play with! 🙂
The play mat is a Melissa and Doug color mat.
Must Read Monday: Ana Cultiva Manzanas
Homemade Laundry Detergent
I don't make homemade stuff very often. I don't sew my own clothes or make my own shampoo. Kudos to those who do, but I'm not that patient or talented to do that. The only thing I do make homemade is liquid laundry detergent. Why? Because it is SOOOO cheap. I can't justify buying it from the store. The other thing about this detergent is that is gentle on little ones skin. I have children that break out in rashes when I switch to cheaper diapers. They break out in rashes when I switch to cheaper baby soap. To my amazement they did not get irritated skin when I switched to the cheapest laundry soap available. I did wait until my youngest was a year old to switch to it, however. I used baby detergent from the store when he was a baby because I was too nervous to try it out on him. For the recipe click on the picture.
Must Read Monday: The Tale of Three Trees
The Tale of Three Trees is an old folktale retold by Angela Hunt. Three trees on a hill dream of what they will become. One dreams of being a treasure chest, another dreams of being a mighty ship, the third wants to become the tallest tree on the hill. But none of them become what they imagined. The first tree becomes a common feed box for farm animals, the next becomes a common fishing boat, and the third tree becomes wood beams. As the years pass they almost forget the dreams they once had. One night, the first tree becomes a manager for a little baby boy. The tree realizes that it is holding the most precious treasure in the world, Jesus.

Silly Putty
3/4 cup Elmer's white glue
1/2 cup liquid starch
Food coloring
Directions: Put glue in bowl and slowly add starch. Knead with your hands. Add food coloring to make different colors. You need to knead it for a long time. Just when you think you ruined it and it won't turn out it starts to form the putty. Store in a baggie for continued play.
Warnings about silly putty from wikihow.com website:
1) Keep away from cloth surfaces. Putty sticks to clothing and cannot easily be removed.
2)Avoid swallowing the putty. The ingredients aren't edible.
3)Some do-it-yourself silly putty recipes call for the use of borax. Be aware that borax has been deemed "toxic for reproduction" and is on the EU's Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) list.[2]
Must Read Monday: Stay Away from the Junkyard
Another Reading Rainbow gem: Stay Away from the Junkyard is about a little girl that didn't listen to what the town people said about Old Man Crampton. It's a good thing she didn't because his junkyard is a playground for the imagination and his pet pig Clarissa is a good way to meet friends. Great book about not judging a person before you get to know them.
Bandaid Organization
The Colorful Balloons Game
Blow up many different colors of balloons. Place scotch tape upside down in a band around the hand taping it to itself. Then yell out a color. Your child(ren) will try to stick as many balloons of that color onto their hands. The one with the most balloons wins. Great way to teach colors and to learn counting.
Variation: try scotch tape on other areas of the body like a leg, foot, or rear-end to make it more of a challenge. Don't use duct-tape or stronger tape or it will pop the balloons when you try to take the balloon off.

Vicki Gunvalson is taking to her blog this week to say that it is ridiculous that Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador are still upset with her. Gunvalson insists that she didn't spread any rumors about David or Eddie publicly and weighs in on what happened at The Quiet Woman.
"The Quiet Woman is literally walking distance from Kelly's house, and it makes sense that she would have stopped by there after being on the boat ride. I don't think that Kelly showed up to see the ladies.
For Shannon to get upset at Lydia that she was mentioning my name is ludicrous. I mean, she knows we all hang out together, so who gives her the right to tell Lydia not to say my name or to be in my presence? It's just childish and she needs to grow up.
I'm glad that Kelly has tried to make amends with Tamra, however it's interesting how Tamra is quick to move on with her, but not me. Personally, I think Tamra is very calculated with who she "hangs out with," no matter what her true inner feelings are. She is a master manipulator.
Regarding Tamra and Shannon being upset with me…it's ridiculous and they need to look at themselves in the mirror. I didn't SPREAD RUMORS publicly about Eddie or David. Kelly and I did have a conversation in her home over a year ago, and I asked her, "Why do these ladies think it's ok to bash me about being with my ex, when they have rumors and 'issues' with their husbands but don't want to ever talk about it?" That was it. It was never meant to become public, and it did. Why are they continuing to talk about it if they don't want it to be a topic of conversation? They should let it go and we can stop talking about it. I'll stop telling the truth about them, when they stop telling lies about me. Now enough is enough and move on!
The "Feng Shui" comments were not meant to hurt Shannon or Elaine, but they were about ME and how I felt about it after a year while looking at all that "clutter" in my home and office. It was distracting and I didn't like it. I did not meant to hurt anyone's business or belief in it, but it's how I feel. I don't see any crystals or waterfalls in Tamra's home so I doubt she believes in it either. For me, it wasn't real and it wasn't something I wanted to manifest in going forward in my new office.
This week you get to meet my business partner Ali and us designing our new office and the new franchise we are building named Coto Financial. It was a big step for me to expand my business at this time in my life, but I am ready for it. My kids are raised, I have my daughter back home and she is finally feeling better, so it's good timing."

MySQL Cluster / NDB as a key value store - Better results this time

Well, I finally had some bandwidth to finish testing my benchmark with NDBAPI. This took some time, as I also had some other MySQL Cluster tests to do (multiple mysqld, cramming everything into one ndbmtd etc), but finally I had it done. And this time, things worked better. Using MySQL NDBAPI I managed to get about 90.000 single row reads per second using 100 threads in a simple 105.000.00 table with 3 columns and a BIGINT PRIMARY KEY, compared to about 32k single row reads when using MySQL Cluster using the SQL interface. MySQL with InnoDB got some 39k rows per second.
Still, MySQL Cluster using NDBAPI still doesn't beat MongoDB (which got about 110k single rows reads per second), but still close enough to be useful. I still have some tuning to do here, so I might get better results in a few days. From this, one might jump to the conclusion that it's MYSQLD that is the bottleneck here, and that is probably correct, but then you would expect two mysqlds to help, but no. On the other hand, the explanation to this might be that I am maxing out the CPU (all my cores are at 100%). To test this, I'll put a mysqld daemon on another box. Before I go on, the reason I do this is to see if I can find the bottleneck, using a second machine would be unfair to, in particular, MongoDB.
My first idea was to run MySQL Cluster on my desktop Windows box, as this is one of the more powerful boxes I have, and I imagined that the MySQL Cluster for Windows had improved since I last tried it and complained, but that turned out not to be the case. The msi installer for MySQL Cluster doesn't work at all it seems ( Bug #66386 and Bug #66387). To be honest, it seems like this installer really has never worked, if I was Oracle (which I am not), I'd just take it away or fix it, as it stands, it is just an annoyance and a waste of time. (And don't tell me "No one use MySQL Cluster on Windows". Yes, that might well be true, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed if Windows is not supposed to be a supported platform. If you drive that reasoning further, then you might also say that there is no market for MySQL Cluster 7.2.8 as no one uses it).
This means that I have two options:
- Persist in getting MySQL Cluster 7.2.7 to Work on Windows.
- Start up my old Linux desktop box.
I'd like to get Cluster running on Windows again, and write a blog post on how to get it to work (and possibly even create an installer myself). On the other hand, although the Linux box isn't that how, it should be warm enough (it's a 4-Core ancient AMD box, loosely based on scrapped Mobo from a box at the old MySQL Uppsala office). So which one to do? We'll see, but possibly both, my 4-core Linux box should be running anyway (I was shut down when I moved my office a few weeks back) and MySQL Cluster really should work on my Windows box, if for no other reason so to say that "I run MySQL Cluster on Windows" so you cannot use that as a reason not to fix the obvious MySQL Cluster Installer issues.
And then I have Handlersocket, Tarantool and some other things to try. If you haven't realized it by now, I am enjoying this. And I haven't really seem many tests like this: "I have one box with lots of memory so I can fit my whole database in RAM. Now, which one is fastest?".

In the past, I've always enjoyed that Jack Rabbit Collection always makes an attempt to tweak traditional bag structures just a bit. Inventiveness is always to be applauded, even if it doesn't always turn out particularly well. After all, you never know what will work until you find out what doesn't. Most of their stuff in the past has worked pretty well, although I'm not sure if the Jack Rabbit Collection Buff Easy Rider Hobo does.
On the one hand, I like the color and I like the leather, which somehow manages to look both soft and structured. I would have preferred silver hardware, but I can get over it. The main issue Is the handle and bag opening. The severe V-shape is surely supposed to be the bag's main design feature, but it may be too acute of an angle and too deep of a plunge to work. It seems light it goes so far down that it detracts from the bag's usable space, and it may be difficult to swing your arm under such a short handle. I give them an A for effort, but a C- for execution. Buy through ShopBop for $598.

Pet Food Recall: Melamine Enters Human Food Supply Through Hogs
DogExplorer.com News – Melamine-contaminated recalled pet food may have found its way into the human food supply via pork producers. Hog farms in California, North Carolina, New York and South Carolina have been identified. An additional farm in Ohio is currently being investigated. These farms received "salvaged" pet food containing melamine, an ingredient used in plastics and industrial processes. The hog farm in California caters to individuals purchasing an entire hog and those specific consumers have been alerted, according to the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the farms located in other states have not yet distributed any of the contaminated pork. Those animals are now quarantined and being tested. It still remains unclear what effects melamine has on animals or humans. According to the FDA website...Read More

Follow These Tips To Help Reach Your Fitness Goals
Fitness isn't all about rippling muscles and body building. Fitness is a state in which your body is performing at its absolute peak. This can be accomplished through proper diet, exercise and taking care of yourself. We have outlined some ideas and suggestions here on how you can become a more fit person.
If you are going to be doing serious weight training, it is crucial to have a spotter on hand. As you are lifting, your body is going to get tired. Lifting without a spotter leaves you open to the danger of being unable to lift your weights off of your chest, or even more dangerously, having them fall down on you if your arms give out.
In order to maximize your fitness routine at the gym, be sure to only rest when needed between sets. This will save time, at the gym and get you moving to other activities quicker. Later on in your workout you'll need more rests, however you can start it off strong without any ill effects.
This unexpected move can effectively improve your running form: Instead of running more slowly for longer distances, do just the opposite. Increasing your speed while running shorter distances will help you to build more muscle tone and increase your endurance. This move will also make you less susceptible to sprains, strains, and other injuries.
Increase the size of your back by performing break cable rows in two portions. Begin the rows by grabbing the bar with your arms outstretched and making sure you are squeezing both of your shoulder blades together. After that, begin pulling the bar towards your body for maximum results to your back.
To http://www.amazon.co.uk/Probiotic-1030-Probiotics-Supplement-Digestive/dp/B01BZC1QWM/keywords=probiotic+capsules+10+billion help you stay motivated with your fitness plan, consider working out with a buddy. The support that you get from working out with a friend or a group of friends can go a long way towards keeping you interested and committed. Starting a walking group or joining a gym together are great ways to get fit with friends.
If you're not exercising as frequently as you would like or avoiding exercises with made up excuses, you should create a schedule. Write down the times and days when you will be exercising, and never skip a session. When you miss one of your fitness "appointments", be sure to reschedule it. Treat this new appointment just as seriously.
A great way to get fit is to join a recreational basketball team. All of the running up and down the court will guarantee you'll get in shape. Joining a recreational basketball team can also be a lot of fun if you have friends that join it also.
Challenge yourself. Increase the amount of exercise that you do every day or every other day. You will eventually hit a plateau in your exercise routine and not be doing yourself any good when you get used to what you do normally. They always say 'no pain, no gain'.
Make sure to work out all the muscle groups, one after another, in your arms to get better results. Try working out the different groups in succession in your workouts. For example, work out your biceps and then immediately work out your triceps afterwords. This will cause one set of muscles to rest while working the other and you won't require long breaks for all of them between sets.
Get into the habit of wearing a pedometer to help accomplish your fitness goals. You should be walking around 10,000 steps a day. If you are not up to that, increase your steps by 100 steps a day, or http://www.livescience.com/26579-immune-system.html 500 steps a week, until you are regularly hitting the 10,000 mark.
Dribble a basketball in heavy gloves. Doing this will allow you to learn other methods of hand control, since you cannot feel the ball. Famous basketball stars credit this method with helping them learn hand control, and studies show that it really does help. Get some thick gloves and dribble away!
Get up and get going. Exercising does so many wonderful things for our bodies. You don't need to devote a lot of time to benefit from the results of starting a fitness plan. Incorporate the tips you've found here into your daily routine. The most important thing is that you do something, and your body will thank you.

The New Jersey Pinelands, also known as the Pine Barrens, is a section of New Jersey that is still pretty rural, and in many places undeveloped. Located at the southern end of the state, there are beautiful historic parks, villages, and cedar forests (yep that's what turns your bathing suit that weird rust color when you swim in cedar water).
But as you head closer to the shore the fertile soil, that made New Jersey the "Garden State", becomes sandy and not very rich in nutrients. This part of the state is home to the rare form of pitch pine, called pygmy for the way it grows.
Short and gnarled, these trees grow in the Pine Barrens and are a familiar site as you drive down the sandy back roads.
The Pine Barrens are quite beautiful, and a popular place for hiking and camping in the summer. Unfortunately though, the area has had more than it's share of fires. Driving down the road after a fire it's hard to remember the beauty of the pygmy pines and cedars, with the white sand covered in ash.
An area so rich in early American history, with it's bog iron and glass making, it's only natural that it would be rich in ghost towns, ghost stories and legends as well.
Some of the more popular legends are:
The ghost boy in Atco. On the fringes of the Pine Barrens, he haunts the road where he was killed by a drunk driver.
Captain Kidd in Barnegat Bay, where it's believed the Pirate still searches for his buried treasure.
The ghostly Black Dog, that was owned by a cabin boy on a ship, and was killed by pirates around Absecon Island.
The Ghost of the White Stag, a ghostly deer that prevented a stagecoach from crashing into the Batsto River. Legend has it that if you see the ghost of the White Stag it's good luck.
Then there is the story of Dr. James Still, known as the Black Doctor. African Americans were prohibited from practicing medicine in the 19th century so, according to legend, Dr. Still hid himself away in the Pine Barrens, where he continued his medical practice for the locals. The story then goes on to say that he was caught and unjustly lynched, and now his ghost haunts the Pine Barrens. But the ghost of Dr. Still is not a malevolent spirit, and he has been seen when injured or stranded travelers in the Pine Barrens need help.
And then there is the granddaddy of them all! It took me awhile to get to it here – but I defy any one living in South Jersey to not get just a little bit creeped out when hearing about the Jersey Devil – the most famous and popular legend of the Pine Barrens.
As spooky stories go, there's nothing that scared the bejesus out of us more when we were kids than stories of Jersey Devil sightings. I first heard the story of the Jersey Devil when I was about nine or ten years old. We were on a school field trip to the historic town of Batsto. As we drove down a long road that led to farms and cranberry bogs, we saw an old broken down shack of a house. One of my classmates made the announcement that it was the house of the Jersey Devil.
She was wrong, by the way, the house where the legend took place was a few miles away, but at the time we didn't know that – we were spooked and the story stayed with us. Of course we passed the story down to our younger siblings and friends. No reason why we should be the only ones frightened by this infamous creature.
Even as an adult, driving with friends through the Pine Barrens at night, when there was a chill in the air and a little bit of a foggy mist, we would tell the stories – and it would still freak us out. "Look out for JD", we'd say as we were the lone car on the road heading to the historic town of Smithville. Every deer that we saw alongside the road, eyes glowing in the dark from the car's headlights, made us twitch.
So who is the Jersey Devil? Over they years I've heard many different versions of the story, but the main gist of the story goes like this:
In the early 1700s there was a woman, Mother Leeds, who was thought to be a witch. When she realized that she was pregnant with her thirteenth child, she cried out that she wished it would be the Devil. On a stormy night she went into labor, and gave birth to a normal child. But almost immediately following the birth, the child transformed and changed to a creature described as having hooves, the head of a goat, and large bat wings. It killed the midwife, and with a blood curdling scream, flew up the chimney and disappeared – but not before poor Mother Leeds saw that it also had a forked tail.
That night it flew over the village of Leeds Point and then disappeared into the Pine Barrens. There was a spattering of sightings for a short while, but then nothing until the late 1880s.
It really wasn't until early 1909, however, when it seemed that the Jersey Devil was most active. Hundreds of sightings, and even some attacks were reported, not just in the area of the Pine Barrens, but across the state in Haddon Heights, Camden, and even as far away as Bristol, Pennsylvania and parts of Delaware. There was such panic that schools closed and workers stayed home. Throughout these reports one thing was constant, the large bat wings, forked tail and hooves. After this batch of multiple sightings it seemed that the creature was gone, for awhile anyway. Although rare, the sightings continued sporadically as late as the 1960s.
As for me, I've never had the pleasure (or more like the horror) of seeing the Jersey Devil, but maybe, someday….
If you're interested in learning more about the Jersey Devil. I highly recommend the book "The Jersey Devil" by James F. McCloy and Ray Miller (1976, Middle Atlantic Press). It's my favorite, and I believe the most popular among Jersey Devil enthusiasts. As a native of New Jersey – born and raised in South Jersey – I have to admit I'm just a little proud of our famous legend.
There are a ton of resources on the Internet to learn more, not only about JD, but of the NJ Pinelands and it's wonderful history. I've added some links below.
So, what do you think? Is the Jersey Devil just a legend, or did Mother Leeds really give birth to a devil child? Feel free to leave your comments below.
Edit – So after I hit publish, I realized I forgot something very important – Thank you to Jonathan and Aaron Ferrara for giving me the idea to do a little digging into some ghostly haunts here in my home state. You can find their blog at: http://husbandandhusband.net


text: Page ContentTrademark Cases Questions Ordered to be Answered on Appeal, and no Decision on Bifurcation Until After Plaintiff Makes Election of Damages or Profits Casella Wines PTY Limited v. Constellation Brands Canada, Inc.,2015 FC 403This is a trademark case regarding the plaintiff's YELLOW TAIL & KANGAROO DESIGN. Constellation Brands brought two interlocutory motions before the Federal Court. First was an appeal from an order (2015 CF 263) requiring its representative to answer certain questions put to him on discovery. Second was a request for a bifurcation order to proceed on the merits only, with a subsequent reference for damages or profits if necessary.The Court declined to overturn the first order, as it was a discretionary order that was not clearly wrong, and the result would have been the same even if it were to be considered de novo. The questions dealt with profits and expenses, and the provenance of the grapes used to make the defendant's wines. As for bifurcation, examinations for discovery were almost complete and the plaintiff had yet to elect for either an accounting of profits or damages. The Court was therefore not prepared to bifurcate at this time. Copyright Cases Consent to the Use of Copyrighted Material Not Required to be in Writing King David Inc. v. Andrin Investment Ltd., 2015 ONSC 1935The plaintiff sought partial summary judgment for an alleged breach of the Copyright Act. It related to the alleged use of copyrighted materials during the marketing phase of a residential construction project. The plaintiff argued that there was a legal requirement that a licence to use copyright material must be made in writing. However, the Court found that the statutory writing requirement only applies to conveyances of an interest in the copyright itself, and not merely to consent to the use of copyrighted material. As a result, the partial summary judgment motion was dismissed and $29,719 in substantial indemnity costs was awarded against the plaintiff. Infringement of Work Found Where Newspaper Published Article Using Artwork Without Consent Donglu v.

The Legal Studies program at Ball State received an Academic Excellence Grant from President Paul W. Ferguson for $38,137 to fund an initiative. The initiative is to allow undergraduate students to provide legal services to people in the county and state starting in 2017. DN PHOTO SAMANTHA BRAMMER
Students will work on real legal cases with new clinic
Undergraduate students will have the opportunity to provide legal services to people in the county and throughout the state starting in 2017.
The legal studies program received a $38,137 Academic Excellence Grant from President Paul W. Ferguson to fund the initiative. The Access to Justice (ATJ) Clinic will be fully running by Spring/Summer 2017.
Students will be assigned legal cases to assist with and will stay with those cases until they are done, even if they continue after the students graduate. Students will have to apply to be part of the clinic.
Who else got money for programs?

Brad Gideon, director of legal studies, will be working for the next couple of years to set the proper structure in place for the clinic.
"Between now and then, I will be working with community partners throughout the state to put in place effective processes for helping to deliver legal aid to underserved populations," Gideon said in an email. "Over the three-year grant period, we hope to expand our reach across the state and to help diverse groups who need legal help, including those in domestic violence situations, the elderly, veterans and children."
There will be a new course available for students who will work in the clinic, called Access to Justice in the Legal System. It will provide a reference point for students, showing the importance of legal system accessibility for the community.
"[It] will explore access to justice theories, analytical framework for addressing justice issues and problems, and potential solutions to these problems," Gideon said. "This course lays the foundation for working in the clinic."
The clinic will also provide service learning assignments to legal studies students, which will be incorporated into their courses. Gideon said these will help students better understand how to work with real clients.
"These service learning assignments provide opportunities for students to engage the community and learn how access to justice problems impact citizens of the state," Gideon said.
The program has a number of community partners already, including Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) programs, which allow a volunteer to go through specialized training to become a voice for a child in the court system. CASA volunteers may investigate a case, interview witnesses and testify in court on behalf of a child.
Legal studies students are looking forward to the opportunities the grant will offer. Ross Meenagh, a junior legal studies major and president of the Legal Studies Student Association, said the clinic will give students the chance to be involved with the legal process even before going to law school.
"This will be a fantastic opportunity for students to participate in a rewarding, hands-on learning experience," Meenagh said. "We will actually be the only [American Bar Association]-approved program to run a clinic like this. How many schools send their undergrads to testify in open court?"
While anyone can testify in open court, being able to do it still gives the students an opportunity to be exposed to the process.
Gideon wants students who will work in the clinic to gain a new perspective of their future careers. Lawyers play an important role in the community, he said.
"I hope students will come away with the understanding that they can use the knowledge and skills learned at Ball State to help improve the lives of others," Gideon said. "I want students to appreciate the sometimes difficult situations of others and how the simple act of providing some help can make a huge impact on the community."

Salinas, California is creating a global model for the integration of artificial intelligence and automation into the world of agriculture, WIRED reported yesterday.
As American farms struggle with labor shortages, reporter Matt Simon describes how companies such as Taylor Farms and Hahn Family Wines are using sophisticated robots and sensors not only to make harvesting more efficient, but to take on some of the tasks that humans are less able to do. What's more, this agtech movement is creating more high tech jobs as farm workers aren't losing their jobs to robots, but instead working "in tandem" with them.
"Here in the Salinas Valley, farmers and tech types are teaming up to turn this into a kind of Silicon Valley for agriculture," Simon writes.
Just as inventions like the plow and combine harvester revolutionized the agriculture industry, these new automated techniques are leading the next key shift in agriculture: data. "[Artificial intelligence] can't go anywhere without data," the article states. With smarter farms, farmers are able to conserve precious resources and produce more food on the same amount of land–which is critical for a feeding a world that could grow to 10 billion people by 2050.
You can learn more about some of the machines in the Salinas Valley that are transforming the agriculture industry in this video from WIRED.

And so is the whole idea and premise of American Idol – Star Search's illegitimate progeny. Parenthetic factoid: For all his hyper-nasal sneering and jeering, Simon Cowell is a highfalutin' poseur who would never make it states-side as an "A & R" point-man for a major record label. If that ain't where the rubber meets the road, then we don't know what is. But we digress.
The devil is in the nomenclature. Even the name, American Idol, strikes the perceptive as silly, if not mildly self-mocking. Strutting a number of hopefuls in front of four judges in the vain hope of finding the next Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart, Prince or Norah Jones is as silly as the idea behind play lists in commercial radio or speed dating in professional matchmaking. It is asinine beyond belief. Why? Well, because music or music appreciation just do not work that way.
Be that as it may, American Idol's third season runner-up Jennifer Hudson was an inspired choice. So was the season winner, Fantasia Barrino. But their post "Idol" careers have been a mixed bag. Why? Well, because stardom or its evolution are rarely manufactured, let alone via "in vitro" fertilizations of TV shows like American Idol.
Simon is a lizard, basking in the transient glow of music-box munchkins and cookie cutter hopefuls. His little show has little or nothing to do with talent but drama, pure and simple. Remember the on-stage and off-stage dramatics around Idol alums like Latoya London, Diana Degarmo, Reuben Studdard, Clay Aiken and of late, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert? That, and that alone is the reason behind American Idol's longevity or what passes for its popularity.
Can you believe these superstars were once rejected by "American Idol"? (Lindsey Parker, Yahoo Music)

Behind the French Menu
Bryan G. Newman
Rum on the rocks.
In every French chef's storeroom, there are two or three different types of rum; one of them will always be France's Rhum Agricole Martinique.AOC/AOP. Rum will be there with AOC Cognac, Armagnac, and Calvados. These four AOC/AOP 40% alcohols are behind many of France's most famous dishes.
Before rum there was sugarcane, and before the import of sugar from sugarcane anything in Europe that was sweetened was sweetened with honey. In 1492 Columbus discovered South America and by 1505 Portugal began sugarcane plantations in Brazil. Shortly thereafter Spain started their sugarcane plantations in Cuba with rum following on. When Spain and France were at peace France had regular deliveries of sugar and rum; however, during their frequent wars, France's supplies came from captured Spanish and Portuguese ships arriving from the New World. Sugar was worth as much as silver and only enough sugar reached France to satisfy the very wealthy.
France begins cultivating its own plantations.
At the end of the seven years' war in 1763, France gave England her North American possessions in return for the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique (and Saint Lucia) along with other possessions. France began her own sugarcane plantations and soon after rum production was in full swing. At that time, all rums were made from molasses, a brown treacle left over from the sugar production process. The plantation system was behind much of France's terrible attachment to slavery and while the French revolution was supposed to end slavery in 1794 Napoleon I in 1802 allowed it to continue. French laws ending slavery finally came into force in 1848.

Rum on French menus:
Baba au Rhum Généreux –Avec sa Bouteille de Rhum sur la Table Pour l'Imbiber sur Mesure - A generous serving of rum baba with the bottle placed on the table for the diner to soak the baba according to taste. Rum baba is one of France's most famous desserts and indeed, the most famous dessert made with rum. Rum baba comes with a long and well-documented history.
Crêpes au Chèvre Fraise au Rhum – Thin pancakes, crepes, served with fresh goat's cheese and flavored with rum.
Filet Mignon de Porc Flambé au Rhum – A filet mignon, tenderloin, fillet of pork flambéed in rum. In French cuisine, the term filet mignon does not refer to a beef tenderloin, the beef filet, but rather to the narrow, almost pointed, end of the beef tenderloin. If a filet mignon is on a French menu it is a pork tenderloin unless otherwise noted.
Pavé de Saumon Grillé (+/-230g) Flambé au Rhum, Sauce Antillaise (Crème Fraîche, Ail et Ananas), Achards de Légumes, Riz Long Thaï Parfumé au Jasmin – A thick cut of grilled Atlantic salmon (approximately 230 grams) flambéed in rum and served with a Sauce Antillaise (made with crème fraîche, garlic and pineapple) and "archard" vegetables, with long-grain Thai rice scented with jasmine. There is no single recipe for Sauce Antillaise, so most menu listings, like this one, will include some detail. (The Antilles Françaises, the French Antilles are France's Caribbean departments and dependencies which include the departments of Guadaloupe and Martinique and the dependencies of Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martine). Achards de légumes are a French-Creole dish from the Indian Ocean island of Réunion; it is a mixture of lightly fried vegetables cut into thin strips and flavored with ginger, garlic, turmeric, and vinegar. Here the dish is served with the long-grained Thai rice of which some sought-after varieties have a natural jasmine scent.
Sorbet Ananas, Vanille et Granité au Rhum – A pineapple sorbet flavored with vanilla and served with a rum granité. Granité is the French version of the Italian Granita which began as sugar, fruit, and water served with crushed ice, (it is often called sludge in the UK and the USA). Now French granités have gone upmarket and will include sweet wines, rums, and brandies.
The addition of Chantilly cream to a Rum Baba makes a Savarin au Rum.
The Savarin is named after Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, (1755 – 1826),
the first philosopher of food.

The British Navy changes the daily ration
of French brandy for rum.
Rum was popular everywhere, but in the 1600s and the early 1700's the British Navy traditionally gave its sailors a daily ration of French brandy; that, despite France and England being at war through the 1600s. In the 1700s the British Navy finally said no to French brandy, and the British Navy sailors received rum from British Caribean possessions. (I think the British still allowed their officers to drink French brandy. Since, when Admiral Nelson was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1802 his body was sent home for burial preserved in a cask of brandy). Britain formally ended the tradition of a daily tot of rum in 2007.
The different French rums.
There are many excellent rums produced in all of France's island departments and dependencies as well as in French Guiana. They include dark rums which get their color from caramelized sugar or molasses. The darkest rums are generally based on molasses and aged in heavily charred barrels that give them much stronger flavors than the darkest Rhum Agricole made directly from sugarcane.
Nevertheless, in the 1900's nothing except the producer's credentials guaranteed the age and how a rum was produced. An amber or dark rum from one producer can taste very different to that of another. Today's French rums are made from molasses or sugarcane juice, with only Martinique's AOC Rhum Agricole legally limited to sugar cane juice. For other rums, the reputation of the producer and the language on the label is the only guarantee of the method of production and the rum's age.
The introduction of factories that produced sugar from sugar beets closed hundreds of sugarcane plantations.
When France began making sugar from sugar beet on the mainland France's Caribbean sugar plantations lost their primary market. The plantations which fought off closure began to make rum directly from cane juice of which they had plenty. That started the argument over which was better rum from sugarcane juice or rum from molasses?
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were still hundreds of rum distillers with a huge variety of names, colors and alcohol levels in their products. Unless the background of the producer was known there was little to differentiate the product from bottle to bottle with many using generic names like Captain's rum or similar. In the 20th century with so much sugar being made from sugar beets the world prices for sugar went down and down, and more and more sugarcane plantations closed. With so many plantations closed the lack of sufficient molasses for rum production for many distilleries was a real rum do. (I apologize, but I couldn't help myself). To continue production many Caribean distilleries have begun to import molasses from China and elsewhere.
The only AOC rum is Rhum Agricole Martinique.
Only France's islands made enough rum at competitive prices to keep their sugarcane plantations open, but there were still hundreds of different labels and no control. In 1996 France issued regulations for Martinique's Rum Agricole AOC that only permitted rum made directly from sugarcane from the island of Martinique. In 2004 Martinique's Rum Agricole received its Pan-European AOP. (France INAO office is the trusted controller and enforcer of all AOC, AOP, and Label Rouge quality standards). Martinique's AOC rum can only be made with the sugarcane juice distilled within 48 hours of harvest. The initials and names used to show the age of the rum are very similar to those used for AOC Cognac, Armagnac, and Calvados.
4 AOC Rum Agricole Martinique producers and products.
The name and ages of Rhum Agricole Martinique AOC:
Rhum Agricole Martinique Vieux– A minimum of two years in oak barrels.
Rhum Agricole Martinique Très Vieux, Réserve Spéciale, Cuvée Spéciale or VSOP – Aged for at least four years.
Rhum Agricole Martinique Extra Vieux, Grande Réserve, Hors d'Age, XO - Aged for more than six years.
Older Martinique Rhum Agricole is produced by some of the AOC producers, and they have added their own labels for 10 year, 15 year and older rums.
Other French rums have a variety of labels which include the words traditional, planter's choice, navy rum, Caribbean rum, and more. But only rums with a Martinique AOC have AOC on the label. .AOC stands for Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée. In English that is the Controlled Mark of Origin.
Ti – Punch.
When dining in any of France's islands or in a French mainland restaurant serving French-Créole Antillaise Cuisine a Ti-Punch will be the cocktail of choice at the bar or on the menu. A Ti-Punch began as a rum and lime cocktail drunk at celebrations; now it is served whenever a rum cocktail is called for and its recipe may change slightly with the location.

Let's Quit Over-Protective Parenting
Voom. Voom. Voom. Do you hear that? It's the sound of helicopter parents, hovering around their children, wings of over-protectiveness beating at a half-mile per minute. If you don't watch out, you might get smacked by their well-meaning intentions.
I don't know when this happened, the idea that parenting meant overzealous involvement in every single aspect of our children's lives. My generation grew up in the last of the "look it up yourself" philosophy of parenting. How do you spell rhinoceros? Look it up yourself. How do you cook fried chicken? Look it up yourself. How do I ride the bus to the mall? Look it up yourself.
I hated that as a child. I loathed turning to dictionaries and phone books, encyclopedias and newspapers for answers my parents could have easily given me. Yet, that disregard for my instantaneous satisfaction gave me much more than quick answers to my queries would have given me alone. It encouraged a type of resilience I find lacking in many of today's youth, the kind that fosters self-sufficiency and adaptation in difficult situations. Basically, it's the stuff that keeps people grounded when things starts to fall apart; it's the ability to roll with the punches instead of having a complete meltdown.
RELATED: Helicopter Parenting Isn't Just Silly, It's Harmful
Today, it's completely different. Kids aren't being held accountable for their mistakes, parents are overstepping their boundaries, and narcissistic, entitled young adults who cannot (and will not) cope with life's inevitable pitfalls are the end result. Is that really what we want for the generation that will be making decisions for us (and maybe wiping up after us) when we hit our senior years? Um, I'll pass on that. I'll take my future caregiver with a dose of fortitude and compassion, thank you very much.
If you sum up your job raising your children as equal parts security guard, referee, lawyer, sugar mama, homework-helper, snack-maker, taxi driver, private investigator, health analyst and talent agent, then you, my friend, might just suffer from over-protective parenting.
I hate to break it to you, but the solution to this problem starts with our parenting. If you sum up your job raising your children as equal parts security guard, referee, lawyer, sugar mama, homework-helper, snack-maker, taxi driver, private investigator, health analyst and talent agent, then you, my friend, might just suffer from over-protective parenting.
If you are reading this right now, and know (or even suspect) that you might be an over-protective parent, consider this your intervention. If you're not, then today is the day you commit to never walking down that road, for your own well-being and that of your children, too. Although helicopter parenting might not be in your genes or part of your heritage culture, as a mom straddling raising your kid to respect and honor two cultures, it can be easy to get caught up in social norms and start doing it.
RELATED: Hyper-Parenting Leads to Unhealthy Kids
Kids need room to do things that are very scary to parents. They need the chance to work out personal problems with peers and to negotiate with difficult teachers. They need to dress a wound on their knee, to cope with disappointment when they aren't chosen to play on a team, to earn the money to pay for things they've broken or lost, and even to fail when they didn't work hard enough on an assignment.
Children need these hard-to-swallow experiences the way they need fresh air, sunshine and healthy food, which are all vital to healthy growth and development. Making things easy for our children by removing every obstacle that stands in their way, excusing their mistakes and paying the price for their consequences robs them of the emotional development they need to be strong on the inside.
Randy Pausch, author of "The Last Lecture" wrote a brilliant quote about obstacles that I love.
"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough."
In his world, brick walls (aka obstacles that seem difficult to overcome) were opportunities to weed out the people who wouldn't try hard enough to achieve what they wanted.
All the organic food, free-trade cotton and homeopathic medicine in the world won't change the fact that a child needs to be challenged, to fall down, to get back up and figure out how to scale their own brick walls.
Hovering parents are simply bulldozing the walls for their kids, and denying them the opportunity to discover their own personal strength. Psychologists have recently categorized helicopter parenting as a behavior that stems from adult anxiety and regret. They've measured the effects this type of parenting has on children – and the results are scary at best. Children with helicopter parents tend to have little autonomy, meaning they have difficulty acting on their own behalf. They also tend to be anxious and stressed, and as mentioned before, lack significant personal growth. These are the kids who will come upon an obstacle, realize they can't overcome it, and turn back around, missing the chance to see what's waiting for them on the other side.
Give your children the opportunity to surprise you with their ingenuity and ability to overcome hardships. Foster in them the courage to move forward and create their own happiness, and stop relying on you to provide it for them.
These kids deserve to have a full-fledged childhood — bumps, bruises, hurt feelings and all. Those experiences are what create healthy, adaptive, self-sufficient, productive members of society, which, if you think about it, is the basic goal of parenting.
Letting your child learn from their mistakes might be difficult, but it is essential to their growth. The next time you find yourself hovering over your son or daughter, ready to undo whatever problem they've stumbled upon, stop.
Really, just stop. Take a step back and see what your child does on his or her own. Give them the opportunity to surprise you with their ingenuity and ability to overcome hardships. Foster in them the courage to move forward and create their own happiness, and stop relying on you to provide it for them.
The reward will come as they mature and develop into strong adults who can conquer whatever situation arises in their lives. That is the gift we should be working to give our children, even if it's hard in the interim.

You posted a great show of color today!! Beautiful Dahlias..ReplyDelete
especilay the busy bees !
They are all so darned pretty! Just like a warm sun.ReplyDelete
Joanne ~ You are Welcome ... I love your blog.ReplyDelete
Hi Joanne, you have done a fantastic job with that bed! I do hope you can get all of the weeds while the dahlias rest inside. They are too pretty to have to put up with such lowlife. :-)ReplyDelete
Lovely colours and pictures Joanne!ReplyDelete
Joanne, your Dahlias are so lovely. Like you I was never a fan of Dahlias, my father always grew them and they always had earwigs in them when he cut them for the house. But Since having the allotment I have fallen in love with them. They are a traditional allotment flower so I see them on other plots and they are stunning. So now I have so many on the plot and in the garden mostly all grown from seed, and glad to say I have never had an earwig in them. Your garden is lovely by the way.ReplyDelete
these are such beautiful Dahlias...what fun to be able to enjoy them!ReplyDelete
Stunning. I love the pink with yellowish center. Next year I want some dahlias. I saw some pretty ones around town this year. They were a very deep purple.ReplyDelete
The dahlias are gorgeous and comes in so many colours. Wow!ReplyDelete
I love all of your dahlias. They are such long bloomers here and they add so much color. They are great to bring inside as cut flowers too. I've been lucky with being able to leave them in the ground here. I love the view of them in your last picture.ReplyDelete
Hi JoanneReplyDelete
Healthy blooms indeed.
I grew a dahlia called 'honka' last year. Star shaped blooms.
I've only grown 'bishop of Llandaff' in a pot this year. They do well in pots by the way.
Hi JoanneReplyDelete
I also didn't used to be a fan of dahlias. But I adore your photos - it's like they have a cute button nose. And of course the bees agree with me.
cheers, catmint
What a fantastic range of colours Joanne. I must have a go at growing some from seed next spring. They provide great late summer into autumn colour.ReplyDelete
Hi Joanne, I have left an award for you on my blog, I hope you take part. I don't always but this is a nice one and you deserve it. I hope you are well. I will get that visit in one day.ReplyDelete
Hi Thanks for all the comments I have been busy entertaining Alison from Canada and attending LDA conference and then last few days sick ugh. So I have a lot to catch up on.ReplyDelete
Maureen I will pop over soon to your blog but must just do a post.

New Puzzle Posted - hoskins 2
New Hoskins puzzle posted here. This is the second in the series of my bi-monthly puzzles. Feel free to tell me what you thought about it in the comment section of this post.
16/10/2014 12:05:05 am
Loving my bi-weekly dose of Hoskins. Great misdirections for someone like me with a one track mind.......& the large blouse clue: had me tittering for ages. More please!
Good to see you back, Jools, and very happy one of my clues made you laugh. There used to be a blog called 'Crossword ends in violence' (which, I believe, became Big Dave's Crossword Blog after a change of owner) - but I think I much prefer the sentiment of 'Crossword ends in titters'!

Hello there. Chris from big Dave's blog here. Lots to like about this puzzle. 4D was a winner, as were 13D and 19D. I liked 12A also. 16D, however, remained unsolved and the solution left me cold. Way too convoluted and I just can't see how the answer equates to the definition you give in your parsing explanations.
Hi Chris,

I enjoyed your 2nd crossword and almost finished it without looking at the answers. 25A was a great clue and 4D was clever. I struggled with 20A (but I am more of the Beatles generation!) & 16D. I saw the "walk through" guide - a good idea, which I'll read later
Thanks for coming back and commenting, Chris A.

Atlantis - New Frontiers
Year of Release: 2000
Label: self-released
Catalog Number: n/a
Format: CD
Total Time: 25:59:00
Atlantis. This mythical island has inspired the name for no fewer than four progressive music bands over the years (including this one). This in addition to numerous songs both in title and subject, as well as the foundation for one writer's Arthurian epic (Steven R. Lawhead's series of novels posit Atlantis as the beginning point for some of the characters). Enter into this vast library of references Brazilian progressive metal band Atlantis and their 2000 debut New Frontiers.
The band got their start in 1994 as a self-described heavy/thrash quintet. But, upon becoming a sextet in 1996 -- Luiz Siren on vocals, Alexandre Macedo and Michel Lerner on guitars, Andrej Braga on bass, Roberto Schilling on keyboards and the since departed Victor Ferreira on drums (it's now Felipe Calani, though it's Ferreira you'll hear here) ? the band toned down their sound to a progressive metal mix. In that mix you will find the expected Dream Theater elements, and there are tracks where, while good, Atlantis sound like many a prog metal band. In fact, on "We Are Not Alone" Siren sounds a great deal like Geoff Tate. Just as keyboards have presets, so it seems do vocalists, as like LaBrie, Tate, and few others, their style is often imitated ? though I do find Siren to be a very good vocalist, great range. Siren's vocals aren't 100% spot on, but 95% is just right enough.
But, Atlantis' sound is a little more diverse than the above suggests as there are a few riffs in "New Frontiers" that sound like Journey's "Escape" and the parpy keys that begin "Find Your Identity," ironically, also sound a bit Jonathan Cain-ish. Interestingly, otherwise this song sounds a bit like Pallas with a slightly harder edge ? and that band had a song called "Atlantis," for what it's worth. They rock hard and seem to have all the right moves and chops ? the guitar leads sound appropriately Romeo-ish when they should.
Don't get me wrong, I hear a lot of promise in Atlantis. In fact, a great deal of promise. It is a very good debut, that only needs a little tweaking from a production point of view. It's clear and crisp, so nothing wrong there. It could stand right up next to some of the high-end recording jobs But to me the keys are pitched a bit too much toward the shrill. Maybe I'm particularly sensitive to this, I don't know. But it just gives this a bit of coldness. Otherwise, I see prog metal fans going ga-ga over this (and looking at some of the other reviews this is getting, they are).
I like the acoustic feel that opens the melodic "Living In A Bottle," which, if they were following an AOR trajectory, would catapult them to the top. Haven't really picked a favourite here and I like them all. Each of the tracks could be their calling card to "bigger and better things" ? which aren't always "better," of course. But being picked up by InsideOut, for example? yes, they'd fit right in. "Snowrider" (about snowboarders, I think) is another solid track.
Being a 25-minute EP, this flies right by. I had it playing at work and it seemed that no sooner had I pressed play (in theory, I had "repeat all" set), the end of track five had arrived. Looking forward to more? Yes, I am.
Subsequently, this band changed their name to Atlantida -ed.

The second annual Kalimantan Coal conference, held in early September 2013 brought together senior executives and decision makers from government, mining, infrastructure, shipping and supply sectors at a particularly interesting time for the Indonesian coal sector. The Indonesian government has only recently introduced new regulations that limit foreign ownership for mines to 49%. These new laws do apply for new mines and already existing mines and some industry experts predict that these new rules may impact future decisions to invest in the region.
Yet, the new regulations were not the only issues that kept attendees attention at the conference. Ramli Ahmad, Managing Director at PT Asia Pacific Mining Resources noted in a panel discussion evolving around improving Indonesia's competitiveness in global coal markets that coal buyers in India are negotiating to defer imports from Indonesia as the current slump in the rupee makes them more expensive. "Some are not clear on how long they are asking to delay," Ahmad said. The panel included contributions from Henry Halomoan Sitanggang, President Director at PT Exploitasi Energi Indonesia, Ashok Mitra, Chief Financial Officer at PT Kaltim Prima Coal and Sabyasachi Mishra, Head – Minerals at Tata International. Moderated by Ben Lawson, Chief Development Officer at PT Apple Coal the panel members discussed Kalimantan's positioning in the recent price regime and the challenges of operating mines under the current regulatory regime.
Day two of the conference gave attendees an update on various crucial projects currently under way in the coal sector. Given the lack of adequate and efficient export infrastructure to facilitate further growth of the Indonesian Coal sector, the presentation Andrey Shigaev, President Director at PT Kalimantan Coal Transportation was met with particular interest by the audience. Mr Shigaev gave an update on Kalimantan's Railways development outlook.
Further conference highlights included presentations by:

WESTVILLE, Ill. -- A van plowed into a crowd of people gathered for a Labor Day Parade in a small eastern Illinois community.
Eleven people were injured, including a two-year-old boy who suffered a fractured skull.
He's expected to be OK, and the 10 others have already been released from the hospital.
The vehicle hit parade goers on the west side of the route and then continued through an intersection and struck spectators on the east side of the street.
Police are trying to determine whether it was a medical issue, mechanical issue, or something else that caused the driver to veer off a side street and into the town square.
Westville is about 5 miles south of Danville.

'There's a great team atmosphere in the Shanghai office and people collaborate very well together. As a graduate, I get lots of help and advice from my senior colleagues'
'I joined the Graduate Programme as part of the Civil, Structural and Architectural team in Shanghai. At the moment, I'm working as a Process Architect on several Food and Pharmaceutical projects.
PM Group is a very dynamic and energetic company and it has offered me fantastic opportunities to learn. Since joining the company, I've had the chance to work with very experienced Chinese designers and global SME's on projects for multinational clients. Through working on real projects, guided by senior engineers, I've gained a lot of technical experience and practical skills.
The most useful piece of advice you have received?
'"Never hesitate to ask a question." The work we do requires experience and educated judgement. The knowledge we gained at university is just a foundation. To deliver project excellence, we can always consult our technical experts and I think practice makes perfect'!

When doing an install on an IBM JS20 Blade Center node, several times during the
installation, the message:
Error opening /tmp/sda: No medium found
[Retry] [Cancel]
pops up. Hitting cancel a few times lets the install continue, and RHEL4 can be
successfully installed.
The JS20 nodes only have onboard IDE disks (and a shared USB cdrom), so I'm not
sure what it's looking for.
This is with an install with media mounted from NFS.
Which stage are you seeing this message - before the graphical portion of the
installer is running or afterwards? If you disconnect the CD drive, does this
message go away?
Well, this is a text mode only install. It happens as soon as anaconda starts,
after it prints the "Probing for mouse" etc. stuff.
The IBM BladeCenter has a shared cdrom, that presents itself to the blades as a
USB cdrom. If I change the cdrom owner to a different blade, the message goes
away. I cannot however switch the cdrom owner until after I finish telling the
installer where to find the ISOs on nfs, so there is a very small window for
Is sda for the floppy drive? If so, can you switch to tty2 and grab the output
of /proc/scsi/scsi for when it's connected and gives that message?
I'm getting this error to. The JS20 does NOT have a floppy controller. The
physical CD and Floppy are integrated USB 1.1 shared across the chassis. Also,
at this time, there is no known way to bring up tty2. I've tried usb=handoff but
this did not solve the issue. Is there a kernel boot param that will handoff the
fdd/cdrom to USB?
I'm part of the same group at IBM as Roy is, and we're still encountering this
problem. We would like to help you resolve this in any way we can. What
information do you need from us? Thanks...
Nathan - have you seen this on our JS20's?
I've been able to reproduce this problem in our lab. Only happens with RHEL4
RHEL3 is fine.
If you can't switch ttys, you should be able to hit ctrl-z and get to a shell.
It sounds like the drive isn't being properly handled as "removable".
We've been able to get around it by taking the focus of the media tray to a
different blade than the one we are using, and use a network install. We still
need to try and find a way to get around this issue.
Is there a kernel parameter that will tell the machine there is no floppy?
Tested RHEL4-U7 on a JS20 with media tray attached ... no longer seeing this issue.
Thanks, James. Based on that testing, I'm closing this bugzilla.
