The time often comes in your life when it is necessary to attempt a home improvement job. You may have purchased a new house and it needs a little facelift or it could be that niggling house job you keep putting off. Follow some simple rules and the task can become a little easier, even enjoyable.
Always take time to prepare. Have a plan of action in the form of a manual or instruction leaflet and do the necessary preparations for the job. Do not forget to protect or shield any expensive items, furniture and flooring that might get damaged or accidentally stained in the home improvement process.
Always make sure that you have good ventilation when doing any home improvement project especially when using paints and some glues. Use your electrical devices with adequate safety protection and keep your tools away from children. If you plan to do any outside home improvements like varnishing or painting check the weather forecast to make sure it is not going to rain.
Although all the previous suggestions are extremely relevant the most important measure for you to take before starting a job is to make sure you have the right tools, and the best quality of tool you can afford. This suggestion should not be ignored. Reference your manuals to get the necessary tools for the job beforehand.
If you just fancy having a go at a home improvement activity begin with a renovation type job. Take a room, for instance the living room, and see what could be done to enhance the beauty or functionality of the room. It may need wallpapering or you may want to change the floor from carpet to wooden floorboards. The furniture may need to be reupholstered or a stray crack in the wall may need to be filled in. In the kitchen a table may need re-varnishing or a cupboard handle replacing. But a word of warning, if you are unsure ask the advice of a trained contractor. Also when you are deciding what home improvement to do think carefully if the alterations would fit into the theme or color scheme of your house.
After you have attempted some minor renovations and repairs this should give you more confidence to try a bigger project, for instance an outdoor patio or decking job. Remember to plan and prepare your home improvement jobs, use the right tools and give yourself plenty of time to get the job done.

Hometown brokers say they're cut out of Obamacare insurance marketBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 27. 2013 9:48PM
Technical glitches that have hampered the rollout of the first public phase of the nation's new health care law are not the only point of entry to the new world of Obamacare medicine.
Policies can be bought from insurance brokers, but agents say the federal government seems intent on steering people to websites, rather than encouraging them to go to the hometown agencies where they buy their life, home and auto insurance.
"We're being totally shut out of it publicly; I never hear a word," said Richard Allen of Allen Associates of Manchester. "They never, ever say, 'Why don't you call your broker-agent who already takes care of your insurance and see if they can help you.'"
The Affordable Care Act regulations allow brokers to sell health insurance plans available on the federal insurance exchange once they have completed a certification course. Allen, who has been selling insurance since 1976, said he has completed the course.
Some of the differences between traditional health insurance and the choices under Obamacare mean a new relationship between individuals and insurance companies.
"There's close to 80 choices when you go there and you've got the vendor side if you need a subsidy to help pay for it, but you don't even know if you're eligible until you've already applied for it, which could take weeks," Allen said "We have access to all of these rates and the subsidy information and can tell them what it will cost and what their choices are, based on their individual situation."
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Hampshire is the only Granite State insurer approved to offer policies on the health insurance exchanges that opened Oct. 1.
The company says insurance brokers can be helpful in assisting the public to pick a plan and pay for it.
"The role of the broker will continue to be an important one as the Affordable Care Act is implemented in 2014," said Anthem spokesman Christopher Dugan in an email response to a New Hampshire Union Leader inquiry. "We are pleased to work very closely with the broker community on a daily basis and view them as essential partners going forward in helping consumers understand the new environment so that they can choose health plans which best meet their individual needs."
Allen claims brokers who know their clients are able to help consumers make the right choices, rather than end up with something that's not quite right as a result of surfing the government's websites.
"It's like the difference between you going to see your doctor or you going into an empty room and there's a bunch of medical books and medical equipment on the floor and someone saying, 'Figure it out; you'll be able to take care of yourself once you read these books and learn to use this equipment,'" Allen said.
In addition to pointing people to Anthem, brokers can direct customers to policies offered outside the exchange program, Allen said.

Meet Me on the Veranda: Shades of Summer
As the sun melts into the summer sky, a southern belle steps out the front door of a Victorian home carrying a tray laden with silver mint julep goblets topped with sprigs of mint fresh from the garden and says in a slow, long drawl, "Come on y'all now, drinks are being served on the veranda," tempting everyone to gather in wicker chairs on the expansive front porch. Children play games nearby on the lawn as dogs bark and the smell of barbecue lingers in the air.
It is a southern scene repeated in myriad neighborhoods throughout Louisiana. From elegant urban Victorians to sprawling country homes and plantations nestled under live oaks, the veranda prevails as the perfect outdoor living room that invites social gatherings. There is no finer way to throw a summer party than on the generous expanse of a shaded veranda. It keeps off the glare of the sun and affords a dry spot in the rain, while providing a bird's eye view of the neighborhood.
The cultural significance of the veranda is in its connection to nature. This outdoor shaded living room is often regarded as the most important architectural element in the homeowner's social life.
Found in hot and humid climates, the veranda is the best place to be when one wants to take in the cool air and have a peaceful feeling with nature while also having access to passersby. It is a place to relax after a hard day's work and discuss matters with friends, neighbors, and family. It brings the community together while offering respite from the enclosure of a house and office. It serves as a welcome gesture to visitors with the added beauty of the sun, the garden, rustling leaves, and the smell of summer flowers. It has been observed that most architects design verandas deliberately to make boundary ambiguous.
A word brought by the English from India, the veranda is an open-walled, roofed porch attached to the exterior of a domestic structure and is usually surrounded by a railing. Although it came into English through the Hindi "varanda," it is related to the Spanish "baranda," meaning "railing" and thus most likely entered Hindi via Portuguese explorers of India.
The word "porch" originally derives from the Latin word "porticus" or the Greek word "portico," both of which signify the columned entry to a Classical temple. At the arrival of the Middle Ages, the porch came to represent a cathedral's vestibule, where worshipers could gather to socialize. By Victorian times, porch became interchangeably used with the words veranda, piazza, loggia, and portico.
The first time the front porch clearly appeared was in ancient Greece and Rome, where dwellings often had columned verandas as shaded walkways around an interior garden. Loggias appeared in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Italy to provide a shaded outdoor space for public buildings.
Verandas were popular in the South during Victorian times, and were generally seen on the homes of the wealthy. This style of porch was larger and was an extension of the rest of the home. Verandas were generally accessed through large French doors. Over-sized furniture, including wicker, was present (wicker furniture can be traced to Egypt in 3000 BC). Wrought iron furniture was also popular on these porches. In the 1930s, the famed Woodward family began a collection of handcrafted wrought iron furniture. This was really the beginning of casual outdoor furniture and lead to other materials being used in later years.
Porches and outdoor furniture evolved in the post-war era. It became increasingly in style to live in the suburbs after the war and more people gravitated to their patios, porches, and verandas. People liked extending their social life outdoors and spreading the family or the party out.
This trend has grown even more today. More and more people are gravitating to their "outdoor living rooms" and are extending their homes with outdoor furniture, kitchens, and sprawling verandas that recall a simpler time.
Whether it resides at a majestic plantation such as Oak Alley, with its massive columns surrounding wide upper and lower level porches, or at a handsome Victorian home with wicker rockers and a swing, the veranda reigns as the architectural epitome of gracious southern living. It brings in the sights, sounds, and smells of the garden; it shades you from the glare of the summer sun, and invites you to "sit and stay a while."

The Clayton man who police said implied he had a gun while trying to rob the Valero Shore Stop on Main Street was locked up on lack of bail.
Middletown Police said that David Donnell, 42, entered the Shore Stop on East Main Street at 7:25 p.m. Sept. 23 and told the clerk that he had a handgun.
Donnell, who resides in the 1100 block of Hollets Corner Road in Clayton, then demanded money from the 18-year-old female clerk, police said. The clerk refused to comply and Donnell fled on foot.
Police canvassed the area with negative results, but were able to develop Donnell as a suspect in the robbery.
At around 8 a.m. Sept. 24 police took Donnell into custody without incident in Dover and charged with attempted robbery.
Donnell was committed to the Howard Young Correction Facility on lack of $15,000 bail.

Needle exchange being used to help combat opioid deaths
DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) -- It started as a way to combat the spread of HIV and hepatitis C. Now, the needle exchange program is trying to reduce the number of opioid deaths in Montgomery County.
There are three places addicts can exchange needles. Today, Fox 45 talked with "Angie" as she picked up new syringes today (June 9) from the Life Enrichment Center.
"At least we can come here and we know we're getting clean ones," said "Angie" a woman who doesn't want her real name used.
The health department started the needle exchange two years ago to prevent the spread of HIV and hepatitis C.
Now, with so many opioiod deaths, the program is trying to get addicts exchanging needles into programs to get clean.
"There's not one thing individually that's going to lower the rate, so we have to use a lot of different strategies to do that, this is just one of them. We're building trust between our health workers and the clients and then after a period of time, we can help them get that treatment," said Public Health Dayton & Montgomery County's Public Information Supervisor Dan Suffoletto.
"They can give us referrals to other places like rehab or if we need housing assistance or food." said "Angie.".
The needle exchange program is also at Mount Olive Baptist Church.
"No questions asked," said Pastor Carlton Williams.
Mount Olive just started in January.
"They've been doing it on the East side for I think maybe two years now. That program has been highly successful and certainly we intend to replicate the success on the west side," said Williams.
39,195 needles have been exchanged in Montgomery County through May this year.
During that time there have been 1,360 clients. Of those, 219 are new clients.
"Angie" said being an addict is tough
"It's awful, the worse thing in the world," said "Angie."
"The exchange program does a lot of good for a lot of people, and it's all about helping people get help and saving lives," said Suffoletto.
Addicts have to drop off needles in order to get free new ones. There's no limit.
They can do so at the Vogel Health Center on Tuesdays
At Mount Olive on Thursdays and at the Life Enrichment Center on Fridays.
The hours are 9 am until 3:30 pm.

At my brother's wedding reception the table is full of glasses, candles, and stacks of plates piled with delicious food. In this venue, then, one of the other guests brightly asks me, "So how long have you been homeschooling?" I point my fork at my son, sitting at the end of the table snuggling his father – "That one," I say, "has never been to school. And he's nine years old. My daughter," (leaning against me, listening like a pert little wildlife creature), "she went to one year of public kindergarten. What I saw there while I volunteered twice weekly inspired me to think about something different for our family."
This answer seems to satisfy my new acquaintance. But then my mother pipes up, leaning forward to gush, "And it's not homeschooling, it's unschooling!" A pause, as those listening react in confusion at the term. My mom leans over to me. "Tell her, tell them," she says with the kind of peevish enthusiasm she gets when ordering me around (Yes. I know. I'm 36.) She presses me further: "They want to hear about unschooling!" I roll my eyes. "No, you want me to tell them about unschooling," I retort. I'm cranky, and I just want to eat my vegetarian spring rolls in peace. It's been a long day!
On Forcing Myself On Strangers
These days I don't get too fired up about "the unschooling conversation", or at least not near as much as I used to. To use a phrase whose time has probably passed, I am much more chillax about the whole business. Why? Many reasons. Because ignorance is rampant, harmful systems are both prevalent and entrenched, and child-as-second-class is the norm. It's simply the norm. Most people think children should be ordered about for most their waking hours (even though most people don't want to own up to this), and if there was any way my educational theories or my passionate communication skills or my words-upon-words written could force people to try things differently, I probably would still be forcing people today.
And this brings me to another reason I am (usually) less ardent in these conversations, probably my most grounded reason. Because frankly, I've the same impulses as everyone else, attempting to impose my sense of justice, order, or intelligence on other human beings. Shocker: I am not always right, I am not always making intelligent decisions, and I myself am plenty-ignorant. While today I am willing to share our experiences and especially to help those who seek help, I am no longer willing to argue. Why set myself on one side of a table lecturing or complaining or feeling persecuted or expressing despair at the state of child-raising in our country? Instead, I can practice gratitude for having the family I do, and I can try to be helpful to other families who ask for my help.
Today I don't have to live by force – although I should call it the attempt to force, and the illusion of control by "winning" an argument (I include those arguments in the mind that we continue, when we've long left the conversation with another human being!). At the wedding party dinner I was more than happy to talk a bit about unschooling and, specifically, to answer the questions that ended up being put to me ("How will your kids get into college?" and some other typical fare). See today I don't have to "prove" unschooling and today – blessed miracle! – I don't even have to get upset and frustrated by other people's ignorances. I don't mean anything or anyone in particular, I just mean that maybe my entire life I will have that little blip of annoyance when I see how people Other and belittle children and talk about them like they're property or chattel. Perhaps I will never move past feeling irritated and angry. But today I don't have to rise to a state of panic and anger. I don't have to rehearse negative thoughts and negative emotions, and I don't have to let these emotions dictate my reality. I can take up the line of conversation, in this case, pick it up, participate, then put it down.
Then, enjoy my spring rolls.
Who gets to say "No"?
A little while back my partner and I got into a lively conversation with a parent who was also an educator. This parent became increasingly interested in dissecting our philosophies of non-coercive parenting, anti-authoritarianism, and life learning as opposed to compulsory schooling. The conversation became quite lively (I was not especially chillax) but it remained respectful. I remember very little about the content of our discussion except the tail end of the conversation. The parent kind of pushed back from the table, shook their head, and said, very slowly: "I think you and I have the same ideas… except… I don't let my kids say 'No'."
At the time, I was aghast. "Not letting your kid say 'No'" is firstly the very definition of typical American parenting – and there is no "sameness" to this parent, and Ralph and I, at all! In fact, this parent was articulating the exact root disagreement that fostered our lengthy and lively argument in the first place!
Still, I was impressed this parent was honest. Many parents, carers, and teachers I know act as if they are letting their kids exercise their agency (i.e. say "No") when really they are only providing them the slimmest margins of freedom. These adults often align themselves with or seek out methodologies of parenting or child stewardship (some of which employ special words and more humane – to outward appearances – behaviors) to, in part, obfuscate what this particular parent stated so eloquently – "I don't let my kids say 'No'". Many parents can't admit, "I don't let my kids say 'No'", because they don't want to believe this about their parent-child relationship. This is very sad, because among other things this means they cannot get to the bottom of the parent-child relationship, and they thus block their own path to healing and deep peace.
And this can be expanded further, because it isn't a parent thing. It is an adult thing. Somewhere along the way we all internalized the concept, so deeply ingrained that even years of active processes of unlearning by a committed individual do not remove it quickly or entirely, that one day it would be "our turn" and we would no longer be the second-class citizens of the world (at least in the sense of child/adult), but could then demand obedience and obeisance ("respect") from the children who were to come after us. We became deeply invested in this fantasy, in part because it contains an illusion of safety, of Self-as-demonstrated, that ego-soothing "I've earned my place!" experience we often grasp at.
So I understand why many adults don't want to own up to what this parent, albeit begrudgingly, spoke aloud. But looking deeper still, I see that this parent has even another lesson for me.
The Gifts of This Parent's Honesty
What a gift this conversation was! Because the deeper truth is, we can never not let someone say "No". They can always say No. What we can do is make consequences or environments so unpleasant – perhaps extremely so – that they choose not to say No. They are temporarily and/or outwardly cowed. We are really quite industrious and imaginative in the ways we attempt to control, to manage the outcome, to get our way. We may scream, hit, beat, remove pleasures or material goods, and employ all sorts of psychological and emotional "carrot/stick" strictures to these children's lives. Harshada Wagner's talk on how we create emotional pain for the world's children will always be written on my heart, because what he says is true regardless of whether we are parent, educator, or a civilian interacting with the children of this world.
We inflict emotional pain in an attempt to control or an attempt to maintain the illusion of control. Now, why we do this is the subject of another piece. But isn't it freeing, to finally admit we are doing this? Isn't their some small part of you, in that space of devastation and sadness at the smallness of our attempts to control, and the uselessness of these attempts, that feels a little excited, that breathes fresh air? When we confront the truth, as it is said, it sets us free.
Our children will always be able to say No to us; if they don't do so outwardly for fear of our reprisal, they do so inwardly. The phrase "cognitive dissonance" comes to mind, although it falls short in describing the holistic and endemic nature of the harm done when we insist we will not "let" our kids, or any kids, say No. Some children grow to hate their carers and most will continue to respond to much of life from a place of woundedness. Some grow to emulate the abuse. Many do not outgrow their fears and do not heal from their hurts. The human impulse to control, to seek security where there is none, is magnified further still and their lives become filled with suffering, with grasping and revulsion and with complexity and over-work.
When we adults present a lie in rebuttal to something the child, deep down, knows in her gut, we commit the worst kind of betrayal. Entire lives have been corrupted and wounded, and this can carry on for generations in family legacies of hurt feelings, abuse, drinking and drugging, fears, over-indulgences or pathological self-denial in otherwise-healthy activities (like eating or not-eating, or working, sleeping, and sex). I see these fallouts every day.
Therefore I submit it is the greatest responsibility of any adult to commit to honesty – not just cash-register honesty, but emotional and spiritual honesty, when we are dealing with the rest of the world, and especially with children and with the child class. If you cannot admit here, or to me, or to your counselor or spouse the ways you are not letting your child say No, it is at least a start to admit it to yourself.
The wonderful news is it is never too early nor too late. We have only to set foot on the path, today.
When I was a child the things that hurt me most are easy to identify, today. It was not the physical abuse, the scoffing at the hands of peers, illness, death of a pet or of family, or hunger or sleep deprivation. What hurt me the most was when the adults I depended on would tell me lies and insist I believe them. They told me I was Selfish (setting themselves apart as Virtuous), and they told me this often, instead of admitting the larger, breathtaking truth that selfishness is something within all of us, that all of us can make peace with and transform. They told me they were strong when really they were weak. They told me they were not dependent on anything, when really they had many dependencies (as we are all wont to have). I had the opportunity to grow and learn they did these things not out of avarice or cruelty but merely because they knew no better, and had likely been done to similarly. Today I am so grateful to see deeply into these things, and to perhaps provide a different experience for my own children, inasmuch as I can.

Austin Prohibits Play about Gay Penguins from Being Performed at Elementary Schools
Ten elementary school performances of a play about two male penguins raising a hatchling together have been canceled by the Austin school district over concerns about "age appropriateness."
And Then Came Tango, an original work by University of Texas at Austin graduate theater student Emily Freeman, tells the true story of Roy and Silo, a pair of male Chinstrap Penguins who hatched and raised a chick named Tango at New York's Central Park Zoo.
"Throughout the play, the definition of family is extended beyond normative representations," Freeman said in a press release. "Family is an entire colony of penguins, a young girl and her single mom, a zookeeper and the animals he tends, and two male penguins and their adopted egg. As these family structures are threatened in the play, we learn the power of voicing your opinions and standing up for your beliefs, no matter how old you are."
The Austin school district, which regularly allows UT students satisfy degree requirements by performing their plays at local elementary schools, had never before banned a UT play.
"The subject matter communicated in the play is a topic that Austin ISD believes should be examined by parents/guardians who will discuss with their elementary school age children at a time deemed appropriate by the parents/guardians," the district's fine arts direct, Greg Goodman, told UT's youth theater program head, Coleman Jennings.
Despite the hurdles, Freeman is taking a page from her own play, and standing up for her beliefs.
With assistance from area schools and advocacy groups, the playwright is putting on free performances of Tango at the Oscar G. Brockett Theatre between November 30th and December 2nd.

"Adult" Rugs for Kids' Rooms
It may seem counterintuitive to put the family heirloom rug in the children's room, but have you ever thought about it? If you are lucky enough to inherit or be able to invest in Persians, Berbers or Navajos, why not try them in front of the crib? Click through to see how well it works.
A rug is a big investment, and it makes sense to spend money on pieces that you will never tire of, and will last a lifetime. They add color, texture, and instantly take any twee factor out of the equation.

STOCKTON - Lobbyists who work behind the scenes in Sacramento and Washington on behalf of Stockton will soon get their 2013 marching orders straight from City Hall.
STOCKTON - Lobbyists who work behind the scenes in Sacramento and Washington on behalf of Stockton will soon get their 2013 marching orders straight from City Hall.
The City Council tonight will consider fine-tuning the message it provides to two firms, which have successfully given voice to Stockton on changing laws and kept a lookout for money from the state and federal governments, city officials said.
In Washington, the city this year won a major victory regarding flood insurance, but in Sacramento, the city has been especially busy deflecting changes to laws that seek to take power away from local governments.
"We're playing a lot of defense unfortunately," said Christian Clegg, assistant to Stockton City Manager Bob Deis.
To fully direct the lobbying firms and its delegates, the city in 2012 for the first time prepared statements, which lay out Stockton's philosophy, priorities and positions.
City staffers updated these documents for 2013 and seek the council's direction.
Emanuels Jones & Associates represents Stockton in Sacramento, while Thane & Van Scoyoc Associates is the Washington, D.C., advocate. Each firm is paid $72,000 for a year's work.
Topping a list for each, the city asks its lobbyists to advocate aggressively for money available from the state and federal governments for police and road projects.
In Sacramento, the city seeks to influence new legislation regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta waterways, labor negotiations, municipal bankruptcy and the law governing the wind-down of redevelopment agencies, such as Stockton's.
Emanuels Jones identified 126 bills that affected Stockton and kept a close eye on 61 bills. The firm directly advocated on 28 bills, which included working closely with key legislators, Deis said.
In Washington, Thane & Van Scoyoc Associates successfully lobbied Congress against a bill that would have drawn thousands of Stockton residents into a flood plain, forcing them to buy expensive flood insurance, the city staff report said.

The Houston Dynamo announced today that Greenstar Recycling is the new official jersey sponsor of the club. The agreement includes exclusive jersey naming rights, the first founding partnership in the new Dynamo stadium, and designation as the official recycling partner of the Dynamo. The partnership was announced today at a press conference at Discovery Green park in downtown Houston. The Greenstar Recycling logo will be featured on Dynamo game jerseys and all team apparel, beginning in the 2011 season and carrying as far as 2015, with options for the final two years.
"Greenstar has partnered with the Dynamo to give recycling a new kick in Houston and highlight the importance of recycling in creating a sustainable environment for us all," Greenstar CEO Matt Delnick said. "We are thrilled to be the official jersey partner of the Dynamo and are committed to making the Dynamo the greenest team in the league."
Although details of the deal were not disclosed, the partnership includes much more than simply the Greenstar name on Dynamo merchandise. Greenstar Recycling will figure prominently in making the Dynamo's new stadium, set to open in 2012, one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable venues in the United States. Greenstar will manage all recycling and waste management services for the new stadium, highlighted by Greenstar's unique single-stream services, offering fans the chance to put all recyclables into a single bin. Greenstar Recycling is also title sponsor of the Dynamo's annual Corporate Cup tournament.
"We're extremely excited to welcome Greenstar Recycling to the Dynamo family," team president Chris Canetti said. "There is an intimate and unique connection between a jersey sponsor, a soccer club, and its fans. We look forward to building that connection over the years and making Greenstar a central part of our club and brand."
At Tuesday's press conference, the Dynamo also unveiled their new jerseys for the 2011 season, bearing the Greenstar logo. Photos and a description of the new jerseys are available at HoustonDynamo.com.
Greenstar is one of America's recycling leaders, providing sustainable recycling solutions in the recycle processing, commodity upgrading, managed services, and commodity trading sectors of the solid waste market. Greenstar launched its North American operations in 2007, establishing Houston as its headquarters. Greenstar has grown quickly to become one of the largest recycling companies in America and has helped communities across Texas and other parts of the nation kick-start recycling programs and increase recycling volumes. The company handles two million tons of recyclables per year through a network of 14 processing facilities with more than 10,000 managed services locations.

The default MQ integration mode for a Communications Server cluster instance is LOCAL. When Communications Server is installed in a location (PATH) that is long (read "not short"), imqbrokerscv.exe crashes when the cluster instance starts. The problem is a memory allocation problem in imqbrokersvc.
The JMS service type for the cluster instance must be changed from the default LOCAL to REMOTE. In this configuration, all the instances point back to the DAS broker. Follow the instructions below to configure a cluster in REMOTE mode.
When using REMOTE mode, all instances are using one broker (DAS) , and therefore no broker cluster is created when the Communications Server cluster starts up. See "Auto-clustering" in Section 4.1, Division iii of the one-pager at http://www.glassfishwiki.org/gfwiki/attach/OnePagersOrFunctionalSpecs/as-mq-integration-gfv2.txt for more information. The above functionality will not be available!
Modify the port and password file according to your environment. Note that in the instructions below, the cluster name is racluster, the DAS admin port is 5858, and the DAS JMS port is 7676.
Modify the cluster configuration, changing the JMS type to REMOTE.
as-install/bin/asadmin.bat set --port 5858 --user admin --passwordfile \ as-install/bin/password_file racluster.jms-service.type=REMOTE
Create a JMS host corresponding to the DAS JMS host.
as-install/bin/asadmin.bat create-jms-host --port 5858 --user admin --passwordfile \ as-install/bin/password_file --target racluster --mqhost localhost --mqport 7676 \ --mquser admin --mqpassword admin dashost
Set the default JMS host to be the DAS JMS host created in the previous step.
as-install/bin/asadmin.bat set --port 5858 --user admin --passwordfile \ as-install/bin/password_file racluster.jms-service.default-jms-host=dashost
Go to Configurations->cluster-name-config->Java Message Service->JMS Hosts.
Click New to create a new JMS host; name it dashost.
Enter configuration settings corresponding to the JMS service for the DAS; defaults are as follows:
Hostname: localhost
Port: 7676
Admin user: admin
Password: admin
Modify these settings as appropriate for your DAS JMS service.
Navigate back to the Java Message Service tab, and change the JMS service type to REMOTE (default is LOCAL).
Choose dashost from the default-jms-host drop-down list.
Save the changes, and then start your node-agent or cluster.

Rehavam Ze'evi was a young officer in the elite Palmach during Israel's 1948 War of Independence when he draped a sheet over his body one day, climbed on a goat and rode it into the mess hall. The barber had just shaved Ze'evi's head, so the skinny fighter with the wire-rim glasses bore a striking resemblance to Mahatma Gandhi, the great Indian pacifist. The nickname stuck. But as he told me in Jerusalem in one of his last interviews before Palestinian gunmen fatally shot him, "Of course, the nickname Gandhi has nothing to do with my views."
Gandhi, who was Israel's tourism minister, also headed the Moledet Party, which calls for the expulsion of Palestinian Arabs. "I believe there is no place for two people in our country," he said. "Palestinians are like lice. You have to take them out like lice."
Gandhi's assassination in October marked the first time a Cabinet minister or Knesset member had been killed in the long war with the Palestinians. A special session of the Knesset was convened and a black sash was placed on his chair. "His legacy we will fulfill," intoned Sharon. "May God avenge his blood." The education minister immediately called for Gandhi's "legacy" to be included in the school curriculum.
Even left-wingers mourned his death. "It is another one of those mornings that make you crazy," Yossi Sarid, the head of the opposition left-wing Meretz Party told reporters. "I'm utterly devastated by this murder…. We did have moments of personal closeness and affection."
Despite his openly racist views, Gandhi was akin to royalty. He was a seventh-generation Jerusalemite, a storied warrior in the nation's army. Born in 1926, Gandhi rose to become the head of intelligence in the Palmach, the left-wing commandos nominally under David Ben-Gurion's Haganah (predecessor to the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF). A general during the Suez War of 1956, Gandhi planted the Israeli flag on Mt. Sinai. A man of imperial tastes, he kept two full-grown pet African lions tethered outside his office when he was military commander of the West Bank in the early 1970s. And he was erudite in Israeli history, having edited some seventy books on the subject.
Shortly before he was murdered, Gandhi bolted the right-wing coalition government, complaining that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was too soft on Arafat. "Arafat is the most evil person for the Jewish people after Hitler," Gandhi said. "Other than Hitler, there is no one else who has caused so much death."
At his graveside, Gandhi's son implored Sharon, "Arik, take revenge the way Gandhi would have avenged you."
Sharon declared that the deliberate targeting of a high-ranking Israeli official had taken the war to a "new level"–beyond the horrors of Palestinian drive-by shootings and suicide bombings. Of course, Sharon didn't see the similarity to his own highly controversial policy of assassinating Palestinian leaders and suspected gunmen in what the United States has denounced as "extrajudicial killings." Sharon gave Arafat a week to turn over Gandhi's killers, and then dispatched tanks to blast their way into six Palestinian towns and villages to hunt for so-called militants. The IDF had itchy trigger fingers. More than forty Palestinians were killed in just a few days, including some civilians who were clearly trying to flee the withering tank and machine-gun fire, according to news accounts.

Vic Alboini takes an earful from CrackBerry Kevin following RIM's AGM
Just the other day I sent out a tweet saying "Just realized we haven't heard a peep out of the "cat" since @cumiastowski and I wrote that article months back... we actually silenced him?!"
Those who follow the CrackBerry beat know the cat I was referring to was the self-proclaimed "RIM activist shareholder" Vic Alboini of Jaguar Financial and Northern Securities. And it's true. Since we published our in-depth feature article detailing our distaste for Alboini's media tactics -- which we believe cause more harm than good for Research In Motion shareholders -- we really haven't seen Alboini's name or heard a peep out of him in the news.
That is of course, until tonight, when the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada declawed the cat, ruling against Alboini for "conduct unbecoming or detrimental to the public interest" over the period of 2006 to 2010. The IIROC has suspended Alboini for two years and permanently banned him as an "ultimate designated person" at an investment dealer. He's been fined $625,000 and ordered to pay costs of $125,000.
Since Alboini is the kind of guy who loves to see his name in headlines, we'll let you click through on a couple below for more details. Meow.

Note: This recipe has been adapted for 7,000-foot elevation
½ cup butter at room temperature
1½ cups sugar
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate (melted)
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix above items together in a large bowl by first creaming together the butter and sugar. Be careful to let the melted chocolate mixture cool before adding to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
Sift these dry ingredients together into a separate bowl:
2 cups gluten-free baking flour
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons Teff flour (if not available, substitute with more of the above flour)
½ teaspoon xanthum gum
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
In a separate small bowl mix together:
½ cup sifted cocoa
½ cup boiling water
Have ready:
1 cup pureed green tomatoes
1 cup gluten-free beer (I use Estrella Daura Damm)
This cake works best in a sheet cake pan, but can also be made as a layer cake. Prep your cake pan with butter and cocoa powder. To mix together, add to the creamed mixture about ¼ of the dry mixture and stir together. Next stir in all of the green tomatoes. Add another ¼ of the dry mixture and stir together.
Blend in all of the beer. Add some more dry mixture and stir together.
Put in cocoa water blend and stir together. Add remaining dry mixture and stir until well blended.
Pour into cake pan and put into a pre-heated 375 degree oven and bake for 35 minutes. When cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- The baseball team returned to the win column with a 10-4 victory over Edgewood in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. The Panthers lost the first game 6-5 in nine innings.
Greenville and Edgewood teamed up for a back-and-forth battle in the first game Friday. As has often been the case on the spring trip, Greenville put a run on the scoreboard first when Ryan Smith hit a solo home run to left field. It was his third homer of the season.
Edgewood struck back in the bottom of the second, touching Greenville starting pitcher Jake McMullen for three runs on two hits.
Greenville tied the game in the top of the third on Cole Lawson's RBI triple and a RBI double by Jared Massengill.
The Eagles went back on top with a run in the top of the fifth, and Greenville rallied in the top of the seventh to tie the score and push the game to extra innings.
In the tying seventh inning, Wyatt Matteson was hit by a pitch and went to second on a wild pitch before Lawson advanced him to third with a single. Jared Souhrada's groundout to first base tied the game.
In the top of the eighth, Greenville took their first lead since the second inning on a RBI single by Matteson, but pitcher David Massengill allowed a leadoff walk that came around to score in the bottom of the eighth.
In the ninth inning, the Eagles scored the game winner off reliever Tyler Corder who allowed two singles, a double, and intentional walk after retiring the leadoff hitter on a ground ball back to the mound.
Starter McMullen picked up the no-decision, pitching six innings and allowing three earned runs and one unearned run. He gave up six hits and two walks while striking out two.
Jared Massengill posted three hits in five at bats. Matteson sparked the club from the number nine slot in the lineup, going 2-for-2 with two runs scored and one RBI.
Game two of the double-dip was controlled by Greenville and starting pitcher Tyler Pilcher.
Winning pitcher Pilcher threw a seven inning complete game, giving up two earned runs, two unearned runs, and eight hits. He issued three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out six.
The Panthers left little doubt early that they were on the verge of an offensive breakthrough as they once again took an early lead with three runs in the first inning and two runs in the second.
In the three-run first, Jared Massengill had a two-run single, and Kenny Trager posted a sacrifice fly.
Greenville's second inning runs came on David Massengill's RBI infield single and an error on Jared Massengill's ground ball to the shortstop that scored Dylan Goldsmith.
After Edgewood scored twice in the fourth to cut the Greenville lead to two, Trager singled to right field to drive in a run.
Greenville posted four runs in its final at bat in the sixth inning. Trager walked with the bases loaded, and Ryan Siddle cleared the bases with a three-run double.
Goldsmith was 3-for-3 with three runs scored, and Siddle went 3-for-4 with three RBI.
Trager drove in three runs despite being 1-for-1 and scored a run. Jared Massengill had a 1-for-2 game with two runs scored and two RBI.
The Panthers (2-9) conclude their Florida trip Saturday against Anderson in a single game that begins at 8 a.m. CT.

NEW YORK (AP) — Ken Griffey Jr. was considered Mr. Clean during 22 years in the major leagues, untainted by accusations of drug use as he climbed the home-run list during the height of the Steroids Era.
He nearly made a clean sweep in Hall of Fame voting.
Griffey received 437 of 440 votes in his first appearance on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot, a record 99.3 percent.
"It's real simple," he explained after Wednesday's announcement. "I've always said that I've got to look my kids in the eyes and you want to play fair."
Mike Piazza, the top offensive catcher in baseball history, was elected, too, and will be inducted...

Memorial Bridge to open ThursdayBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
August 07. 2013 9:56AM
PORTSMOUTH - The Memorial Bridge is scheduled to open to traffic on Thursday following an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new bridge will be opened initially for pedestrian and bicycle traffic followed by the opening to vehicular traffic to be determined for a time later in the day, the New Hampshire and Maine Departments of Transportation announced Wednesday morning. The old bridge closed for good to all traffic on Jan. 9, 2012.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. on the Scott Avenue approach to the bridge to be preceded by a procession from the Maine side of the span starting at 10:40 a.m.
After the ceremony, the bridge will open for an extended period for pedestrians and bicyclists only to tour and walk the bridge.
The safe opening of the bridge to vehicle traffic will be determined in consultation with the contractor, Archer Western, and the Portsmouth and Kittery police departments.
A press release from the DOT indicated that while the bridge is expected to be open to traffic, there remains construction work to be completed on the $81.4 million project. The ongoing work will result in occasional traffic delays and short term bridge access limitations for pedestrians and bicyclists until full project completion in November.
The remaining work includes installing memorial plaques, system operation adjustments, installation of community sponsored bridge illumination; counterweight chain adjustments, installation of a pier protection fender system, and completion of Memorial Park.

Camera traps in Australia
Of particular interest has been some very rare footage of a dunnart in its natural environment. It is thought to be the Little Long-tailed Dunnart (Sminthopsis dolichura), very similar to Gilbert's Dunnart (Sminthopsis gilberti) which is also known to be in the area.
While notoriously difficult to identify – even when held in the hand – the scrubby understory habitat in which this individual was recorded provides additional identification clues. The preferred habitat of the Little Long-tailed Dunnart is low open shrubland or low woodland, the same vegetation type found at this site.
Korrelocking bushland, where this footage was captured, is an 'island' of eucalypt woodland surrounded by a 'sea' of wheat cropping paddocks, and has been so for several decades.
Night-time footage of the European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), a major predator and threat to the little dunnart, has also been captured in the same location. In the day-time video footage of the feral fox, the agitated calls of the little blue breasted fairy-wrens can be heard as they angrily respond to the predator in their territory. These calls also serve to alert other blue breasted fairy-wrens of the fox's presence.
Using the information to work with farmers
WWF's biodiversity conservation projects in the Wheatbelt region of Southwest Australia are increasingly using data like this to inform our best practice management advice to private landholders. Increasingly the people that have farmed these ancient lands for generations, are being recognised as future conservation management custodians who need to be assisted and supported in protecting this important biodiversity.
Knowing how the little long-tailed dunnart uses this fragile remnant is important information for increasing the chance of survival for both the habitat and the species.
WWF's work in Southwest Australia
WWF is working in some of the worlds' most contested landscapes for species conservation. Southwest Australia's endemic fauna have developed specialised relationships with the complex of vegetation communities they depend upon and these biodiversity treasure troves are less widely known about.
