I have experienced using your site 3 different times. I have had very positive experiences each time. We recently used your site to replace me at my last job as the front office manager. We first made the mistake of using the local newspaper, which cost a fortune and did not bring us the level of professional applicants that we had hoped for. Soon after he placed his ad on your site he had 3 or 4 great resumes to call on. He soon hired a very qualified replacement for me. At the same time I had my resume` on your site and I was receiving and making several calls to very good offices and soon found a wonderful job in the city I was moving to.
I found this office through your website. I thoroughly love what I do. Your website has helped me find the perfect office for me. Thank You again.

← Kyle Rittenhouse guilty of angering the rioters
Progressives: we've lost the working class →
Are you 'slanted against the rioters'?
Posted on November 11, 2021 by David Blaska
If so, you may be prosecuted in Kenosha County
How many criminal defendants are more sympathetic than Kyle Rittenhouse? Baby-baced, unshakeable in cross examination, sobbing as he related the events of 08-25-20 in Kenosha WI. A swimming pool life guard, junior EMT studying nursing. He put out fires started by rioters that August night in Kenosha, much to the chagrin of Joseph Rosenbaum, who lit some of those fires.
Videographer Drew Hernandez testified this morning that the first time he encountered Kyle "he actually de-escalated a situation."
Is there a more annoying prosecutor than Thomas Binger? Great legal analysis of Kyle Rittenhouse testimony and cross-examination from Andrew Branca on Legal Insurrection:
Every facet of the cross-examination was dripping in contempt. The tone of the questioning was consistently snide, ridiculing, insulting, incredulous, and intended to provoke an angry outburst from Kyle …
Binger even tried to suggest that Kyle had shot three people on August 25, 2020, because after all isn't that what you young kids do in your first-person shooter-games? Shoot weapons like AR-15s at anybody who comes at you? Isn't that the whole point?
Kyle was obliged to point out that video games are not real life.
Can you remember any trial in which the case against a defendant was this weak? Prosecution witnesses made the case that the first man shot was chasing the defendant, not the other way around! That Rittenhouse was being whacked with a skateboard and a chunk of concrete. That the third man shot pointed his handgun directly at point-blank range? Where (oh where) is the elected Kenosha County district attorney, Michael Graveley? Hiding for cover! Wisconsin RightNow …
… wrote Graveley and asked him why he didn't prosecute the case himself. He didn't respond. We think the answer is clear: The case had loser written all over it from the start, so Graveley let his underling take the fall. The charges were NEVER justified by the facts of the investigation;
Exhibit A on why Woke progressivism is losing America
Or more political?
… were a bone tossed to the mob that had just burned down parts of Kenosha, and the media, which had already constructed a false narrative of Rittenhouse as a white supremacist card-carrying militia member (there is no evidence of that). It was appeasement, not justice.
Like Good Morning America, the liberal mainstream news media is invested in the myth that neo-nazi Klansmen are destroying America, not Antifa or BLM. Because who did that ABC news program invite as a guest but Gaige Grosskreutz, rioter.
Today's Quote of the Trial, again courtesy of ADA Binger, to a videographer for the website DrewHLive: "The videos you produce, they're very slanted against the rioters, right?"
Slanted … against … the rioters! ???
Or the most divisive since O.J.?
The Court TV commentator said Judge Bruce Schroeder "is very thoughtful with the law." Sure enough, he has been inundated with hate e-mail. Has a trial ever had access to more video? Or more real-time commentary?
Can you think of less sympathetic "victims" than Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz? Testimony this Thursday morning from Hernandez that Rosenbaum led the charge into the gas station, pushing a flaming dumpster into police vehicles that were occupied by police officers. Rosenbaum, a convicted sex criminal. Off his meds. Huber, assaulted his own family, now battering Rittenhouse.
Gaige Grosskreutz on ABC's Good Morning America saying he did not point his weapon at the defendant, contradicting his sworn testimony.
Blaska's Bottom Line: These are the kinds of people who show up to burn and loot your town in the name of racial justice.
Which source are you following for the case?

AdamC says:
Where the hell are the nationally televised show trials in Kangaroo County Court for the hundreds of violent criminals who burned down Kenosha that night???
Lefty's willing accomplices and co-conspirators in the hive-minded #GetTrump Ms. Media have already convicted young Mr. Rittenhouse in the court of public opinion. That conviction won't stand, because the bigoted bias of the bi-coastal bullies in proglobotic press doesn't play in Peoria.
Rittenhouse's only mistake was that he killed "choiced" a couple of Leftist criminals, …one a child rapist. If he'd killed an unarmed cinematographer on a movie set, … he could've avoided this pesky trial altogether.
The Kenosha prosecutor is cut from the same cloth as radical leftist prosecutors in LA, SF, and Philly. Justice means nothing to him, scoring political points and becoming the latest darling of the MSM is everything. I loved the tongue-lashing he got from the judge–a reminder of how rare it is to see radical ideologues of the left put in their place.
Two suggestions for the next time BLM "activists" demand that Madison public schools be renamed:
1) Kyle Rittenhouse; 2) Judge Bruce Schroeder.
You really should graduate from high school before they name one after you.
I wouldn't want him to be my daughter's prom date.
David Gerard,
Would you allow your daughter to attend the prom with the so-called "victims"?
"A convicted child rapist called Joseph Rosenbaum was released from a mental hospital and then went directly to join the mob that was burning downtown Kenosha."
"Once he got to the riot, Rosenbaum saw Kyle Rittenhouse and immediately threatened to kill him," Carlson claimed. "Rosenbaum then chased Rittenhouse and tried to pull the gun from his hands."
Even "Left-wing Snopes confirmed Rosenbaum's criminal history:"
"…yes, at age 19, Rosenbaum was sentenced to prison for sexually abusing five children — all boys between the ages of 9 and 11 — in Arizona's Pima County in early 2002."
https://www.dailywire.com/news/tucker-a-rapist-called-joseph-rosenbaum-died-as-he-had-lived-trying-to-touch-an-unwilling-minor
Because this is who the left is defending. Either that, or they're not mentioning their backgrounds because it doesn't fit their narrative. Is this how you feel too?
Kyle would be the perfect daye for any daughter who was attending prom at — for example — East H.S., what with all the sexual and physical assaults and gang warfare.
You said "I loved the tongue-lashing he got from the judge–a reminder of how rare it is to see radical ideologues of the left put in their place".
Judge Bruce Schroeder is but a relic of the "old breed" of judges who honor the law above all else. The judges of tomorrow are the "woke" graduates of today.
Batman says:
Please God, protect Judge Schroeder from the violent, immoral, Godless, lunatic, demonrats.
The leftie MSM sputters and unknowingly let's fly sputum in their outrage over a calm and cogent Rittenhouse, as he deals w/ the rabid ADA. And as the witnesses pile on to demonstrate the vehement rioters' demeanor and intentions, the MSM seems to be dumb as well as blind and deaf.
Sadly, were any other judge presiding, this would likely go the wrong way…
BTW, David Gerard, I'm not at all sure anyone wants to, or should, date yer daughter fer Prom night. Could be very "risky business…"
Judging by your grammar and spelling, you are still eligible to go to the prom.
That all you have, David G? Kind of sad.
georgesson's spelling and grammar put him at the head of the class, fer chrissakes, Dave Gerard.
Jon Burack says:
It calmed my anger to read the ludicrous MSNBC headline. I have been distracted by trying to figure out what a "nearly all-white jury" could be. In any case, I pray for them to reach the correct decision, and then if they do I really pray for them.
Dave Blaska, another question. I know you have talked about Tony Evers standing down and not sending in the guard to maintain order in Kenosha. I wonder if you could direct me to where you discussed that. It seems all-important to me and totally ignored in all the media coverage. If I understand it right, EVERS created essentially a state of nature in Kenosha by failing to ensure order. In a state of nature, civil society is dissolved and individuals must act to reconstitute it in whatever way they can. If this is right, why isn't Evers on trial.
The Werkes has a robust search function down the right-hand sidebar. "So Search Me!" But the link is here: https://davidblaska.com/2021/10/26/democrats-war-on-police-allowed-blm-riots/
Thank you. I will pay more attention to the buttons on your side bars. Keep on keepin' on.
Rich Eggleston says:
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is a textbook example of why lawyers shouldn't be allowed within 100 feet of technology, relegated to manual typewriters, or – better yet – clay tablets. The debate over whether blowing up a digital mage is "altering" the image is an example. The legal "minds" at the trial failed to don their big-boy pants and recognize that the human brain does something very similar to what Apple does to digital images: it fills in missing data to the best of its ability. What we think we see isn't the full information that's out there, it's our brain's best shot at filling in gaps. God help the jurors who will try to mete justice from what the lawyers and judge give them. ,

Florida Kiwanian makes a community-changing gift
Lew Matusow — Florida District PR Coordinator | Nov 16, 2020
Every Kiwanian donates time, energy and money to the kids in their community. But Mike McGee, a member of the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, Florida, has taken community involvement a step further.
McGee and his wife Kathy recently donated US$600,000 to help improve a youth sports complex in Lakeland. The funds will be used to add a car-themed playground, a walking path and two additional multi-use, lighted athletic fields to the 33-acre complex.
The facility will be renamed John McGee Park in honor of Mike's late father.
"We felt having a park named after my dad is appropriate, "McGee said. "We wanted to leave a legacy in his name because he has done a lot of things that contributed to many people's success."
In June 1974, John McGee purchased a tire store. By the time he retired in 1991, there were four McGee Auto Service and Tires locations around the community. Mike McGee took over and — along with his siblings and key associates — grew the business into one of Lakeland's most successful operations with 30 locations, before selling the business in 2016.
"This is the type of person Mike McGee is," said Jackye Maxey, president of the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland. "He gives of himself to help kids in any way he can. We are proud to have him as a member of our club."

Thank you, Kiwanis heroes


There are four distinct phases for commissioning new business software. Selection, Planning, Implementation and On-going Support. These are further divided into subsections, each one with its own challenges and solutions.
Software vendors often down-play the impact that a change of software has on the business. They seldom want to be involved in the wider business impact or even in any of these critical stages.They tend only interested in the software sale and on-going revenue. This can leave business owners with the headache of having to deal with the fall-out and wider consequences of the software change.
Planning the change is also frequently left to the business and is not taken up by the vendor. Thus requiring a third party with knowledge of the software as well as knowledge of the detailed implementation process.
The solution is to employ someone who understands the business, the software and the staff who will operate the software. Getting full knowledge of all the phases in the early planning stages, even well before the software is even chosen, allows potential issues to be identified and avoids down-time, frustration and unplanned costs during the critical implementation process.
I pride myself on providing unique packages to suit your particular needs, whether at the pre-planning, planning, implementation or on-going support stage.
As a software consultant I can become an important contributor to the commissioning and planning of your software.


The naming of an event, such as the "xxxxx Field Day," places the identity of the sponsor above the identity of OSU Extension and may imply that one of our core values "unbiased delivery of information" is being compromised.
In an effort to market OSU Extension to local citizens, we prefer that sponsors and donors to local programming efforts be recognized by listing on all information about the program. If the local office wants to adopt recognition categories, such as "gold," "silver" and "bronze" for program funding, they may do so. It may be helpful to funders to use consistent recognition categories for all local programs in a particular county.
It is highly encouraged that contributions to programs be treated as gifts using the OSU gift process so individual and/or corporations receive maximum credit.
For more information, see the OSU Extension cost recovery - gifts section of the Policy and Procedures Handbook.

Q: Proof that continuous function on $ [0, 2]$ has $f(x) = f(x-1)$ for some $ x$ Proof that if continuous function on $[0, 2]$ and $f(0) = f(2)$, then for some $x: f(x) = f(x - 1)$

A: Hint
Consider the function $g(x)=f(x)-f(x-1)$. The domain of this function is $[1,2]$. Then $g(1)=f(1)-f(0)$ and $g(2)=f(2)-f(1)$. Now use the given facts and the intermediate value theorem.

Steve Trachsel, who in the early going has been the Orioles' most consistent starter, is scheduled to pitch. It's also Adam Jones T-shirt night, so be prepared to see a bunch of No. 10's in the stands. Alternate suggestions are the Capitals-Flyers NHL playoff game (7 p.m., Comcast SportsNet and Versus) and The Magnificent Seven (8 p.m., AMC).


Students work in small groups to design and execute a project in the area of networking, broadly construed. The goal is for the project to either end with a deliverable (e.g. a working web application prototype) or a publishable conference paper. Students should have completed a project proposal and formed their groups during CS/EE 144 before registering for the course.
We will not have regular lectures after the project presentations finish (which typically happens during the third week of class). Instead, each group will meet once weekly with one of the instructors to discuss progress on the project. These meetings are the most important part of the course, so it is very important that all group members attend every meeting.
To start the course, we will have an organizational meeting at 9:30-10:25 in ANB 213 on Monday April 3, 2017. Then, we will meet a couple more times in that slot during the first two weeks for project plan presentations. After that, we will only have 1-2 lectures for overviews on making posters and writing the report.
All course communication will happen through Piazza.

Port Ludlow, WA (September 19, 2018) – Michael and Elizabeth (Liz) Fessler, founders of Herbalix Restoratives and representatives for the revolutionary OligoScan, will present at the Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine (ACIM Integrative Hands-On Workshop for medical practitioners – Part III on September 20 – 22, 2018 in Irving, Texas.
The OligoScan, designed to measure intracellular heavy metal intoxication via the skin using spectrophotometry, is used in conjunction with Herbalix's detox products, which have botanical, osmotic properties and are clinically proven to purge aluminum from the body. The Fesslers will be presenting: Part One – Disruptive Effects of Aluminum (Al) on Sodium/Potassium Channels in Humans, and Part Two – Clues to Bioremediation of Heavy Metals in Humans Using the Skin Pathways – Skin Purging Techniques for Heavy Metal Detoxing.
Can Coriander (Cilantro) chelate metals?
This herb is used in many food dishes and found in the Mediterranean Diet.
This herb is used in many food dishes and found in the Mediterranean Diet. A number of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 (Folate), Vitamin C., E & K are found in coriander including traces of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, zinc.
contains antioxidants and has amazing antibacterial activity against germ negative and germ positive bacteria by breaking down cell membranes. Besides its antibacterial effect, the use of coriander oil in antibacterial formulations effectively kills pathogenic bacteria related to food borne diseases and hospital infections. It contains biosorbents effect to absorb liquids and solids: According to a study Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) essential oil: "Its antibacterial activity and mode of action evaluated by flow cytometry". Filomena Silva, Susan Ferreira, Joao A. Queiroz and Fernanda C. Domingues – Journal of Medical Microbiology (2011), 60, 1479-1486 DO1 1Q10.1099/jmm 0.034157-0 034157 @2011 SGM.
While researching information on coriander, sometimes seemingly unrelated subjects can provide new leads such as The Uptake of Fluoride, Aluminum and Molybdenum By Some Vegetables From Irrigation Water by Arjun L. Khandare., G. Shanker Rao – National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR), J.Hum.Ecol., 19(4):283-288(2006). One of the vegetables used in the study for aluminum salt loading, was coriander. In a graph comparing amaranth and coriander from aluminum in irrigation water, the concentration of aluminum in coriander was 4 times greater compared to the control. The bottom line is that coriander absorbs metal ions from aluminum in water.
In 2005 Herbalix Restoratives sponsored a clinical study. The purpose of the study was to see how coriander works in HR topical Nighttime Cleansing Detox Deodorant®. We arranged for two labs to take tape samples of NCDD and a leading antiperspirant for comparison. The first lab used CuDerm Strippings consisting of 3 each of the NCDD, 3 of the antiperspirant and 2 blank strippings. The CuDerm Strippings were then transferred to a black paper and sent off to a second laboratory to be tested for ICP-MS Spectrometer analysis.
After testing the strips the second lab emailed back to the first lab to inform them that because they had applied the strips on a piece of black paper, the test results showed an abnormal reading of elevated alum from the NCDD over the antiperspirant. How could a deodorant contain this much aluminum? The answer is that all NCDD samples showed the ability to draw the black ink (made from aluminum) from the paper thus became a discovery showing the ability of NCDD to chelate aluminum from an inorganic source.
Below are the numbers that established the breakthrough.
That works out to 70 times more aluminum that the NCDD extracted from the black paper.
Back in 2004 while learning from sources how third world countries used certain seeds to filter water, the idea of adding coriander seed to a deodorant, at that time a novel idea, brought forth an amazing discovery.
In 2006 HR sponsored a clinical trial evaluating subjects for levels of aluminum in the underarm, using the CuDerm tape strips. the first week was used as a baseline without applying any antiperspirant, the second week using antiperspirants and the third week, with the NCDD.
Baseline results gave variations of aluminum levels but all individuals showed asymmetrical loading in the non dominant arm (left and right). The second week using antiperspirants showed spiking in one arm vs the other. The third week, with the NCDD, showed reduction of aluminum in the underarms. Subjects returned to symmetrical levels (minimized the effects of antiperspirants) resulting in below baseline levels of aluminum indicating that NCDD was effectively absorbing aluminum.
Special Note: Baseline readings of aluminum variations in the samples demonstrate the human burden caused by aluminum (coming from air, water, food, antiperspirants, medication). Additional testing for metal loading can include skin as indicated in these studies.
In a follow up clinical trial in 2012, also using human subjects, it was clearly apparent in thermography scans that the NCDD and Sentinel Breast Crème® demonstrated symmetrical release of alum salts present in subjects tested. The asymmetrical loading of alum salts from antiperspirants can lead to health issues especially for women whose breast fluids drain thru the underarms.
These tests provide evidence of the ability for a topical detox with coriander to purge metals from the body.
After sterilizing six surfaces normally found in the cabin of an airplane such as the seats, toilet handles, trays, etc., the researchers intentionally infected the surfaces with several bacteria, one of which was E. coli 0157, which can cause severe diarrheal disease. This resilient bacteria lived for up to 96 hours on the rubber armrest. The study was partially funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The only remedy is to follow good hygiene, wash hands frequently, or use hand sanitizers. Do not touch your face, and wash hands frequently, as it has been proven that hand washing with soap is the best defense against germs. But many soaps are made with harmful synthetic chemicals and additives, which can strip beneficial oils and irritate the skin.
Herbalix organic Goats Milk Bar Soap – 99% Effective against germs.
Both the Herbalix fresh Goat's Milk Cream Bar Soap and Botanical Liquid Hand Soap are made from a base of farm-fresh Nubian goat's milk and contain key vitamins and alpha-hydroxyl acids that naturally help neutralize free radicals through ingredients that help manage troublesome skin conditions. Goat's milk also has peptides that support natural collagen production. The combination of sustainable plant based botanicals cleans and helps protect skin without drying it our. These soaps contain no synthetic chemicals or petroleum.

Today there are more health conscious, savvy consumers. According to the TechNavio report, the Natural and Organic Personal Care Market in the US 2012-2016, this segment in the US will grow at a CAGR of 10.12 percent from 2012 to 2016.
A recent study from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington has shown that women who have been taking statin drugs for more than 10 years may face increased invasive breast cancer rates at more than 200 percent. Many physicians will continue to prescribe a daily statin dose to women who have cholesterol levels over 200. According to researchers there are not enough conclusive studies to show that statins actually protect women from fatal heart attacks.
According to the study, in the United States today, 25 percent of American women over 45, who have been taking Cresto, Mevacor, Pravachol or Vytorin, Zocor for more than 10 years had a 204 percent increased chance of developing invasive ductal breast cancer. What's worse, they have a 243 percent increased chance of developing invasive lobular breast cancer.
To stay in control of our own health, it is best to be proactive by knowing what direction to take and the desired results. Today many individuals are reviewing with experts their lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and skin detoxification.
Recent developments in breast health issues are proving to be a game changer. Herbalix formulated Sentinel Breast Creme, designed to help keep breasts clean and healthy. The creme was used by women in a clinical trial showing changes/patterns in the breasts. These changes were tracked and observed thru thermal imaging.
The Sentinel Breast Creme is part of the Herbalix 80 Night Lymph Detox Program.
When you begin any detoxification program, it means you are cleaning out the body — removing impurities from your tissues, blood, and organs such as the liver. Your body also eliminates toxins through its kidneys, lungs, lymph glands, intestines and even your skin.
The benefits of detoxing are many … it can help your body's natural cleansing process by: stimulating your liver so that it will naturally eliminate any toxins; improve blood circulation; promote elimination through the intestines and kidneys; and provide essential nutrients and energy (fuel) to the entire body.
Herbalix Restoratives is a leading organic skin care company specializing in detoxification through the skin. The company works with doctors to develop special detox programs such as Dr. Mitra Ray's Men's 60 Night Lymph Detox program. There is also a detox program especially for women — the Women's 80 Night Lymph Detox Program. It includes the exclusive Sentinel Breast Crème.
•Nighttime Cleansing Detox Deodorant – cleanses buildup and helps release waste fluids, encouraging lymphatic flow while absorbing all aluminums, and reducing odors.
•Geranium Deodorant – Regulates and neutralizes rather than masks odors with a subtle fragrance of geranium essential oil.
•Coriander Kelp Scrub Bar – with a blend of coriander seed and kelp to exfoliate dead skin cells and draw out impurities.
•Belly Fat Freedom – helps remove toxins and promotes the loss of flab beginning in the belly area.
When you begin a detox program, there are several indicators that the toxins are transitioning out of your body, so do not be alarmed. These symptoms should not last more than a couple of weeks and keep in mind, these symptoms might fluctuate with deeper levels of detoxification.
1) Drinking water is essential to the detox process.
2) Eat a simple diet of fresh foods including plenty of vegetables. Avoid caffeine and alcohol; be gentle to yourself and rest as often as you can.
3) Detox side effects might include tiredness, itching, skin eruptions, changes in feces, increased nighttime urination, noticeable body odor, and possible changes in your sleep pattern.
4) Many healthcare practitioners recommend warm water enemas. Dr. Mitra Ray and Dr. Jennifer Daniels who authored Do You Have the Guts to Be Beautiful (Shining Star Publishing, 2011) suggest beginning enemas about a week prior to the Herbalix detox.
5) Be sure to keep a diary and track your body weight and measurements from start to finish of the detox process 30 days later.
6) Be sure to wear old pajamas or a tee shirt as sometimes clothing can be stained. The staining may be a direct result from what is actually coming out of your body. Do not over apply the creams.
7) Avoid wearing metal jewelry, such as earrings, when using these detoxification products – especially not at night.
8) Always remember to use soap to wash off any residue in the morning and use the daytime deodorant provided in the kit instead of commercial deodorants.
If any of the above symptoms are uncomfortable enough to make you want to stop, then simply either apply less of the topical creams or take some time off for rest in order to slow down the build up of detox symptoms. Doing so will help your body get into a manageable detox rhythm more easily.
You can repeat this detoxification program two times per year for ongoing detox from food xenobiotics, aluminum and other metals, as well as environmental toxins.
Now that winter has settled in across the country, many of us are experiencing really dry skin. What many people do not know, is that harsh soaps with chemicals can make the problem even worse. That's why a good organic skin care product is the best remedy.
Look for organic skin care products that include ingredients like avocado oil which can actually help regulate your skin's natural sebum oil levels. Herbalix Restoratives (www.herbalix.com) features one of the best oil based moisturizers – Supreme Solution Intensive Body Moisturizer – which has been formulated using a rich and expensive blend of pure, non-RBD oils (not refined, bleached or deodorized), that penetrate deeply and hydrate the skin thoroughly.

It is just as important in the wintertime as it is in the hot summer months to naturally hydrate your skin and to drink plenty of water every day. Learn how nutritional ingredients can help infuse your skin with moisture and help enhance the benefits of creams and lotions.
Another tip — make sure you are getting a healthy supply of oils via your essential fat intake. Just include fish such as salmon, tuna or sardines to your diet and the oils within will do wonders for your dry skin. Many kinds of seeds and nuts contain high levels of essential fatty acids. You can also add Omega-3 essential fats to your diet.
And last, remember to eat a healthy diet, stay out of the sun – even in the winter months and get a plentiful supply of fluids. All of the above will help you maintain your skin cell's hydration. Top off your skin with the goodness in Herbalix moisturizers regularly and you will keep your skin glowing throughout the holidays!


Motor control has established itself as an area of scientific research characterized by a multi-disciplinary approach. Scientists working in the area of control of voluntary movements come from different backgrounds including but not limited to physiology, physics, psychology, mathematics, neurology, physical therapy, computer science, robotics, and engineering. One of the factors slowing progress in the area has been the lack of communication among researchers representing all these disciplines. A major objective of the current book is to overcome this deficiency and to promote cooperation and mutual understanding among researchers addressing different aspects of the complex phenomenon of motor coordination. The book offers a collection of chapters written by the most prominent researchers in the field. Despite the variety of approaches and methods, all the chapters are united by a common goal: To understand how the central nervous system controls and coordinates natural voluntary movements. This book will be appreciated as a major reference by researchers working in all the subfields that form motor control. It can also be used as a supplementary reading book for graduate courses in such fields as kinesiology, physiology, biomechanics, psychology, robotics, and movement disorders.
Motor Control will quickly become the go-to reference for researchers in this growing field. Researchers from mechanics and engineering to psychology and neurophysiology, as well as clinicians working in motor disorders and rehabilitation, will be equally interested in the pages contained herein.
Chapter 20: Models and Architectures for Motor Control: Simple or Complex?

Q: MediaStyle Notification to Show Button in Compact View I'm using the MediaStyle for my push notification so that I can show currently playing song meta data as well as include a pause button. The issue I'm seeing is that my notification is not automatically expanding to show the pause button, even though I've included the setShowActionsInCompactView(). If I pull down on my notification while on the lock screen, it expands and then shows the pause button. But I would like it to show the button without expanding.
Screenshot of how notification is displayed:

Solaris 11: A Cloud in a Box!
Computing industry began with resource centralized on singularly large computing platforms. The microprocessor brought computing power into the hands of individuals in homes and offices, but information was still centralized in each location. The creation of The Internet allowed for the sharing of information between homes and offices, around the globe. Reliable server and telecommunications infrastructure was required to make it work, applications were somewhat limited to a handful of standard Internet protocols, such as HTTP. Cloud Computing has been coming of age over the past number of years, driving custom applications to proprietary API's, to move more applications into the Internet, but this is quickly changing as operating system vendors include more robust virtualization. Cloud Computing is really about the virtualization of Internet infrastructure, including servers, to a point where pieces do not have to reside on the internet, nor in an office, nor just a split between the two - but can reside anywhere, including entirely in a laptop. Solaris 11, the first Cloud Operating System, offers the ability to virtualize everything, from entire data centers across thousands of platforms, to thousands of platforms virtualized on a laptop.
Joerg M., an Oracle employee and publisher of C0T0D0S0, discusses Solaris 11 with some of it's features, demonstrates the building of a cluster of virtual data centers within a single operating system instance. If someone runs a data center, they should consider reviewing the article to better comprehend the capabilities of what a "Cloud" could and should be.
It should be noted that "simnet" clause to the "create-simnet" and "modify-simnet" are formally undocumented, but documented in the OpenSolaris released source code, and leveraged in various other derived Open Source branches. One of the most important distributions being the Joyent SmartOS cloud operating system distributions.
What is not included in Joerg's example are actual systems on the edges of the cloud. Adding them is actually more trivial than adding the virtual routers which were created. Add virtual interfaces, virtual systems, databases to virtual systems, middleware to virtual systems, applications to virtual systems, add bandwidth & latency limitations to WAN links, add port limitations to virtual firewalls, etc.
Why Go Through the Exercize?
Once someone builds the entire datacenter "in the box", creation of the real data center becomes trivial. But why does this matter?
For the first time, real test environments can be simulated, soup-to-nuts, in an inexpensive way. There is no charge for virtualization in a Solaris world.
Movement of an application from development to test is as easy cloning a Zone and instantiating the Zone on a Test platform.
Disaster recovery is as easy as instantiating the Zone on the dead physical system onto a physical system in an alternate data center.
Deploying production applications into a cloud is as easy as backing up the application and restoring it into the cloud - not to mention bringing it back.
The effort, with a step-by-step process will ensure that there are no missed steps in the process to bringing virtualization to a business.
The world is slowly exiting the physical world and Network Management is no longer about monitoring edge routers and links - it is about monitoring virtualized infrastructure. Orchestration is all about automated deployment and cloud providers are getting better at this. The missing piece to this puzzle is robust SNMP management of everything. The creation of network management infrastructure needs to happen in the development clouds first, then the test clouds, so when the jump to production is complete - the management infrastructure has already been simultaneously developed and tested, with the applications.
When Sun first produced systems, the common way for users to move around a network and to distribute workload was to leverage the Berkeley "r" tools, such as "rsh", "rlogin", "rexec", etc. under Solaris. As academics became professional, security concerns over passwords being passed in the clear were raised and SSH was born. SSH was built with a compatible superset to "rsh", but this was later removed with the second version of the protocol. This document discusses the implementation of SSH under Solaris.
SSH uses several global configuration files, one for the client, and another for the server. Each of these config files document the default compiler flags under Solaris. The "ssh" client global configuration file can be tailored on a per-user basis while the "sshd" server global configuration file is managed at the global level.
Under Solaris 10, related OS's, and above - SSHD is started through the services infrastructure.
There are built-in compiled defaults and global defaults which are reviewed, upon startup, and connection.
Since the ports to be forwarded are over 1024, there is no requirement for special "root" permissions. The proxied HTTPD connections can be observed.
To perform a basic test of the forwarded HTTP port, the classic "telnet" can be used on the command line, but the connection is closed.
Note, the error on the remote side.
This is a configuration issue.
Under Solaris 10, forwarding agent is disabled as a compile flag, and is documented in the global configuration file. If one makes a connection via SSH, and proxies a port - an error message will be produced upon the first connection attempt to the proxied port.
To allow for the port forwarding, edit the configuration file "/etc/ssh/sshd_config".
You will need to restart the "sshd" service, the administrative message disappears.
Your port HTTP and X Windows Port Forwarding will now work for ad-hoc tasks.
An Oracle White Paper, Secure Deployment of Oracle VM Server for SPARC , was added to the Solaris Tab on Network Management.
Modern computing systems had found their footing through the history of computing. Some companies and architectures influenced the modern desktop computer more than others. One such company was Sun Microsystems, which had found it's way into Oracle. Oracle released their latest processor, the SPARC T4, with a dynamic new capability to offer the functionality to process two different workloads, via virtualization technology.
In 1985, Sun Microsystems produced their first Sun-3 workstation and servers based upon the 32 bit CISC Motorola 68000 processor. In 1987, Sun Microsystems produced their first Sun-4 workstations and servers upon the 32 bit RISC SPARC processor. In 1995, Sun Microsystems produced their first UltraSPARC system based upon 64 bit RISC UltraSPARC processor. In 2002, Sun Microsystems acquired Afara Web Systems, with a new high-throughput SPARC design. In 2005, Sun Microsystems released their first server (no desktops) based upon the UltraSPARC T1 processor, which was tuned for multi-threaded workloads. Oracle, who made their fortunes primarily from software upon SPARC, acquired Sun Microsystems and released their first server (no desktops) in 2010 based upon the SPARC T3. Oracle released the SPARC T4 in 2011, supporting both multi-threaded and single-threaded workload.
The workloads in the SPARC processors were traditionally single-threaded workloads from their early years. With the advent of RISC processors, the concept to reduce complexity allowed for the increase clock speed and thus the increase of single threaded performance. With the investment from AT&T and merger with SVR4, Solaris experienced multi-threaded workloads expansion. When SGI purchased Cray Research, Sun Microsystems purchased the Cray Superserver 6400 to create massive high-speed single threaded capability into massive multi-threaded workload throughput of 64 threads via racks of equipment.
With the release of UltraSPARC T1, Sun Microsystems managed to shrink 32 threads of slower integer and crypto capacity not only into a single socket, but onto single piece of silicon, performing outstanding aggregate capacity. With the subsequent release of the T2 processor, 64 threads were merged onto a chip. While the throughput was equivalent to racks of equipment in the T processors, the single threaded performance was a decade behind.
With the release of the Oracle SPARC T4 processor, a system can now be tuned to support single or multi-threaded workloads via Oracle VM Server for SPARC release 2.1, previously known as Logical Domains or LDom's.
During the provisioning of a Logical Doman or VM under SPARC, the provisioner can choose the workload optimization required. This can be performed during ["add-domain"] or after ["set-domain"] provisioning.
Use this value to select the threading mode that maximizes throughput. This mode activates all threads that are assigned to the domain. This mode is used by default and is also selected if you do not specify any mode (threading=).
Use this value to select the threading mode that maximizes the number of instructions per cycle (IPC). When you use this mode on the SPARC T4 platform, only one thread is active for each CPU core that is assigned to the domain. Selecting this mode requires that the domain is configured with the whole-core constraint.
A new Oracle White Paper, Tuning the SPARC CPU to Optimize Workload Performance on SPARC T4, was added to the Solaris Tab on Network Management.
Datacenters have long struggled with the lifecycle management of servers on a massive scale. Sun Microsystems addressed this concern with their N1 product line, which was later re-branded xVM with additional consolidation of hypervisor. With the acquisition of Sun by Oracle, hypervisors were broken out and Ops Center has been placed under the umbrella of Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Ops Center has a long history with features consolidated from many startups and industry players, now conslidated under Oracle.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Op Center 11g Release 1 Update 3 is about to be released. The upgrade documentation is now available, packages are soon to follow.
In this spirit I recommend the following links (not surprisingly, Dave's favorite AWK is listed in both).
Oracle licenses it's RDBMS by several factors, typically the Standard License (by socket) and an Enterprise License (by core scaling factor.) Occasionally, hardware and operating system vendors will enhance their offerings, requiring a revisit by database vendors to expand their legal categorizations for licensing. Oracle's guiding documents are readily available on-line.
Sun had produced several virtualization technologies, by the time Oracle purchased them. One particular virtualization technology, "LDoms" (short for Logical Domains), renamed to "Oracle VM for SPARC", has been added to the list of being approved for Physical Partitioning technologies.
The Oracle Partitioning guide now approves of LDoms or Oracle VM for SPARC as a Hard Partitioning technology.
Hard Partitioning, Fujitsu's PPAR, Oracle VM Server for SPARC.
With the current SPARC T4 systems, this becomes more important for Managed Services environments, where Service Provider licenses are required in order to perform external services with an Oracle RDBMS. Being able to limit the number of cores on a new quad socket SPARC T4-4 system offers a lot of flexibility - especially when performance characteristics are similar to 8 socket POWER7 and 32 socket SPARC64 VII platforms.
Most network management software is available under SPARC and few are available under POWER, yet there has been a movement towards POWER over the past few years, specifically for databases, This is the natural time to simplify architectures and re-consolidate those Oracle Databases back onto the SPARC Network Management platforms, again. Why introduce the complexities or firewalls, multiple architectures, multiple code bases, multiple reboot windows, multiple maintenance windows, and overcomplicating D-R procedures when it is cheaper to put it all back on a new low end SPARC platform, and it can be made even less expensive by introducing virtualization technologies like [Oracle VM for SPARC] LDoms and [CPU Capped] Zones?
Solaris has traditionally been an operating system designed to run in a small footprint. Early Sun workstations, like the Sun 3/50 required only 4 Megabytes of RAM. The growth of memory requirements continued with the release of each operating system. Solaris 10 was the last commercial Solaris release to support 128Meg of RAM, which Solaris 10 Update 1 reportedly required 384Meg of RAM minimum. This size continues to grow, with added functionality.
There is a release of OpenSolaris referred to as EON or Embedded Operating System / Network. It is small enough to run from a 256Meg flash, but it should be run on a system with 1 Gig of RAM minimum.
An Illumos discussion thread yielded Jerry Kemp, who happened to reference a particular defunct appliance-discussion list where OpenSolaris was running on a Soekris net5501 system. Another system was mentioned to host OpenSolaris, the fit-PC. Jerry also mentioned two different blogs postings from Sun/Oracle's Jim Conners and also a note about Compressed ZFS on ARM port of OpenSolaris.
Jim built one embedded system was a very small platform, but it included 512Meg of RAM. This is hardly small, by any sense of the meaning, but it is physically small!
Jim built a framework which creates a Solaris in-memory installation that will work in an area as small as 60 Megabytes.
In 2009, Vineeth Pillai from Sun Microsystems in the Czech Republic presented "OpenSolaris ARM Port and Its Future".
The OpenSolaris port to ARM was announced in June 8, 2009.
It was based on OpenSolaris 2008.05 build 86 and ported to NEC NaviEngine 1. Compressed ZFS is incompatible with ZFS, but more suited for embedded devices.
On June 19, 2009 - it was confirmed that UFS and ZFS were in the ARM port of OpenSolaris.
In June 25, 2009 - NEC contributed ARM code to make ZFS use 8 Megabytes of RAM to run ZFS and 4 Megabytes of RAM for ARC. By Compressing ZFS data structures, they managed to boot OpenSolaris in 16MB of RAM and bring the ARC to 1MB with a 2MB ZFS runtime!
Darren Moffat posed a question in September 28, 2009 about mounting a disk under a QEMU instance of ARM OpenSolaris where Mitsuru Sasanuma replied the NE1 emulator does not implement IDE (SATA) and NIC devices, so hard disk images could not be used in QEMU. CZFS could be used with regular files.
The substantial question of the week is, can we move Illumos to something smaller or bring Illumos to embedded devices for USB external hard drives?
The following has been added to the X Tab for Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.

Binaries in operating systems need to be identified so the underlying kernel knows how to execute them. Traditionally, binaries were much smaller than data files, so the transition to 64bit operating systems and chips never needed to address huge binaries. A 40 year old 32bit standard, created under AT&T UNIX SVR4, was getting "long in the tooth" and showing it's age. This was finally addressed with with Solaris 11 release.
An exhaustive document to the Solaris Linker and Library guide is published by Oracle. Solaris was built upon the System V Release 4 Linker Mapfile Format. A short article on the Linux linker from 2002 may be interesting to some. Discussion started in 2009 about enhancing Solaris, while retaining backwards compatibility.
You can reference the published document from Oracle for a complete listing of Solaris linking features, from Solaris 8 leading up to Solaris 11 Express.
Solaris Intel looked to be a worthy operating system for the Intel marketspace with key technolgy such as ZFS, DTrace, Containers, and Xen. With Oracle's killing of Xen for Solaris 11 Intel, many were concerned that the benefits of Solaris on a server would be lost, without platform virtualization such as Xen. The Open Source Solaris community decided to invest in another technology, bringing true managed services scalability to the internet cloud environment.
KVM is the traditional acronym for "Keyboard, Video, Mouse" - as in KVM Switch. Unfortunately, some not-so-genius decided to overload the multi-decade old acronym with a new moniker - "Kernel Virtual Machine." The QEMU emulator is used as the foundation for the virtual machine. KVM was implemented to be tightly tied to the Linux kernel, with little attempt to be open and friendly to other system kernels, as was Xen.
Joyent moved KVM to the cloud with Solaris on their managed services grade SmartOS - encapsulating the finest of today's OS technologies: Zones, ZFS, DTrace, Crossbow. The use of KVM and QEMU within a Solaris Zone securely protects the hypervisor from virtual machine hacking exploits, which would ordinarily result in a disaster under Linux. The use of Crossbow provide for securiy and capping of network resources, through the underlying Solaris OS Kernel, to contain network exploits in the guest operating systems and/or their applicaions. Solaris DTrace provides unprecendeted KVM and guest operating system visibility - which includes cloud analytics from the hypervisor, operating system, middleware, and all the way down to the application layers.
The porting of KVM to be encapsulated in a Solaris Zone within SmartOS was genius.
The death of Xen under Solaris at the hands of Oracle was an untimely demise for a great concept - robust cloud computing could have been owned by Solaris, making others vendors look like a cheap knock-offs. While Oracle may have marketed Solaris 11 as the operating system of cloud computing, the real innovation came from Joyent, who implemented a multi-vendor cloud on top of managed services grade OpenSolaris fork, through the port of highly proprietary (operating system specific) KVM. Kudos to SmartOS team! Will HP, IBM, or Dell purchase Joyent for their SmartOS?
Open Systems have traditionally been accessed via Command Line. MIT create a fully object oriented, multi-tiered, open source windowing system called X Windows, which was quickly adopted by nearly all computing industry players. While X Windows is well suited for local area network technology, the need for wide area network technology was addressed through several different attempts, such as X11R6 "Broadway" and proxies leveraging compression. A lighter WAN suitable screen display protocol, referred to as Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is also commonly used for X displays.
Solaris 10 was shipped with VNC, instructions for enabling VNC under Solaris are found here.
The GDM depends on the console-kit-daemon for "defining and tracking users"
(console-kit-daemon man page). A generic error will occur telling you that a consolekit dependency is restarting too quickly.
The -r is to recursively enable the daemon and then dependencies in the correct order.
A console will need to be provided to the passive VNC X Server through X Display Management Control Protocol.
A restart of the Gnome Display Manager and enabling of Xvnc are the last steps.
For a period of time, there was competition in the area of super computers with varied architectures, with standards based processors like SPARC leading other vendors. Most of the worlds modern super computers have been based upon American Intel based MPP platforms. Intel compatible CPU maker AMD started producing CPU's for supercomputers during recent years. There has also been an aggressive trend to move towards using graphical co-processor units. Most recently, nations have been trying to develop their own intellectual property.
Japan has been moving towards computing independence by investing in their own implementation of SPARC processor.
It has long been concluded the Intel owned the Super Computer market, before vendors with GPU started to compete. With Japan's Fujitsu corporation, it is clear that the market is no longer going to be dominated by proprietary Intel architecture, but companies developing Open Architectures like SPARC will begin to compete again, as they did in the 1990's.
The following has been added to the Solaris Tab for Solaris 11 Reference information.
Sadly, this will be the last binary day, in modern history.
Oracle launched Solaris 11 on November 11, 2010, with real-time streaming. The replay is available.
This is Zones, formerly Solaris Containers.
Investment protection is discussed: upgradable from T4 to T5. SPARC SuperCluster solution brings together benefits of SPARC with benefits of Exadata.
John - Will new updates have to wait until Solaris 12?
Mark - What is the most important reason to move from IBM to Oracle?
John - Oracle [RDBMS] is moving to 12c, when will Solaris be called 12c?
John - How secure is data in the cloud?
Most people are not encrypting data in the cloud.
Hardware does encryption at line-speed and wire-speed on the file system, network, and even in Oracle table space with virtually no impact. Oracle offers what no other provider does.
John - De-duplication is a huge improvement potential. How huge?
This is huge, copies are made for data protection and archive, with huge numbers of copies. ZFS at the OS offers dedup and compression. Only OS which includes dedup built in.
John - Many customers are running Java, what makes Solaris good to run Java?
John - Policy question: solaris images on Amazon Elastic Cloud?
Available on OTN for customers, today. Only an hour into launch!
John - Biggest question today.
Life Cycle Management - Cloud accelerates this requirement. Cloud amplifies it, takes away SLA.
China has been moving towards computing independence by investing in SPARC, MIPS, and ALPHA based processors.
It is not a good plan for an aspiring superpower to base their entire nations security on a single computing architecture, never mind a computer architecture which is foreign... or even worse, computing components manufactured exclusively by foreign nations.
Many development systems are based upon dedicated hardware infrastructure, which limits the number of simultaneous development releases. With Solaris Zones, multiple application releases can be developed at the same time on a platform, where the developed application is encapsulated, to be moved to test, and rapidly cloned into production.
A use-case by a telephone carrier is illustrated in the following Solaris Zone presentation.
Apple: Breaking Free from Google?
During a time of peace, Google sat on the board of directors of Apple, and there was innovation, profit, and partnership in the minds of both companies. Apple engaged Google to provide network application services such as mapping, then Google betrayed Apple with this inside information. Apple has been trying to break free from Google, ever since.
Apple started conceptual develpment of the iPhone, but Apple had a few gaps. Google sat on Apple's board of directors, so they made a good partner, to inquire about how they could fill some gaps. An agreement was struck, Google would provide mapping, instead of Apple going to other third-party mapping providers like Yahoo, who would not compete with them.
Google used this private information and purchased a development company who owned Android operating system. Google created a parallel development track, for their own Android based smart phone, without Apple's knowledge - the CEO of Google, who sat on Apple's board of directory was engaged in corporate espionage.
Apple released the ground-breaking iPhone, while Google put the finishing touches on their own smart phone. 6 months later, Google released their own smart phone, containing the same features, with a simlar look and feel.
Apple was stuck with having to return back to Google, as their mapping partner, Apple funded Google's mobile mapping through the iPhone revenue, while Google could take Apple's investment to compete with them into the mobile phone market. Google had clearly broken Apple's trust by using inside information from their CEO's participation in the Board of Directors, to gain an unfair competitive advantage to the rest of the market.
Google provided Apple with key functionality: mapping.
Unfortunately, mapping is a lot more complex than one might think. Roads are built & rebuilt. Continents shift. Earthquakes happen. Houses are demolished and turned into shopping malls. Farmland is turned into office parks. Progress occurs daily on a world-wide basis.
The question in everyone's mind should be: when will Apple finally be able to claim freedom from Google, the company who double-crossed them, placing a bullet in Apple's leg, and crippling what could have allowed Apple's innovation to compete fairly in the Smart Phone industry?
One can only guess when Apple might break free. It might not be, until iPhone IOS 6, since it might take Apple a year to consolidate their 3 purchases over the past 3 years - unless Apple has another acquisition in mind, to surpass the capabilities of Google - the traitor in their midst.
Apple, Nokia, and Symbian were not the only companies crippled by Google's corporate espionage. Sun Microsystems had cooperated with Google with their central processor independant Java platform, with the understanding that Sun would receive license fees for Google's usage of Java in the mobile phones.
In the end, Sun received no license fees, as they did from other mobile vendors (like Motorola.) This placed mobile phone who licensed Java at a pricing disadvantage in the mobile phone arena, with those vendors who used Google's technology... thus encouraging those vendors to switch to Google's technology. Sun Microsystems continued to bleed money, until they were purchased by Oracle. Oracle filed law suits against Google.
Apple filed files law suits against third-party phone vendors, who used Android, in other knock-off Apple products. Google purchased Motorola (mobile phone company), undercutting Oracle's future revenue stream and gaining patent protection for their double-dealing. Sony broke their smart phone partnership with Symbian, who basically created the smartphone market.
When Sun started the process of opening Solaris, they created OpenSolaris, a port of Solaris based upon an open source code base. With the purchase of Sun by Oracle, for all intensive purposes, it appeared that OpenSolaris was dead, but there is still activity in the individual ports as well as the GenUNIX Mercurial Repositories.
While there may not seem to be a lot of activity in the Solaris Community on genunix.org, the Mercurial Repository shows a different pattern.
While the OS/Net repositories for OpenSolaris seem basically dead, for over a year, the pkg-gate and solaris userland consolidations are still incurring changes.
Of course, there are other places for active Solaris Open Communities to congregate (i.e. illumos), but at least people should be aware of where that there are a lot of changes still happening on genunix.org, even if the home page looks rather stale.
The community is waiting to see what happens, once Solaris 11 is released.
When an operating system is upgraded, there are various new features added and old features removed. With the release of Oracle 11 on November 2011, independant software vendors (ISV's) must be aware of the pending changes.
Oracle released an ISV Adpotion Guide for vendors moving to Solaris 11. This guide has been updated regularly by Oracle, as new features were added into Solaris 11 Express. It should be considered an authoritative reference for conducting software compatibility testing.

Cooking from dried is cheaper than buying tins of pre-cooked chickpeas. Even if you include the cost of cooking them in the slow cooker. Which is much cheaper than cooking them in the oven. Even if you include the cost of cooking them in the slow cooker.
Measure out your chickpeas and water using a 1:2 volume ratio and place in the slow cooker. I tend to use 3 cups of chickpeas. Cook on low overnight or for around 6-8 hours. I tend to use 3 cups of chickpeas.
Have you tried cooking dried chickpeas in the slow cooker yet? So good! I make a whole pound and freeze them in 1 1/2 cup increments for recipes. This stew looks fantastic! So good! I make a whole pound and freeze them in 1 1/2 cup increments for recipes.
Our website searches for recipes from food blogs, this time we are presenting the result of searching for the phrase dried chickpeas slow cooker.


When you think of a European country and sausage, which country do you think of?
For me it would start with Germany. With every wurst under the sun, I think of it as the home of sausage. Next? Well, maybe Poland. Kielbasa. Next? I don't know. Maybe England with the Bangers and Mash? All the way down on the list, France. What I didn't know was France is the home of the Andouille sausage.
Known so much for its use in Creole cuisine, it was born in France and brought over to New Orleans centuries ago.
A simple recipe where every flavor builds on every other one.
Onions are cooking and the sausage is standing by.
That sauce gets so thick and adds so much texture to the dish.
A great dish that just begs to be served over some Cajun rice.
1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add andouille; cook until fat is released and sausage is slightly golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Add onion and garlic to pan; cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add beans and 4 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, partially cover, and cook until beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding more water if necessary. Stir in andouille and heat through; season with salt and pepper.

ACCIDENT VICTIM NOT PERMITTED TO SUBSTITUTE REAL PERSON FOR LAWSUIT "JOHN DOE"
Posted By Gary E. Rosenberg
Court: Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York
Case: Temple v. New York Community Hospital of Brooklyn
Date: Nov. 15, 2011
From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Queens; Queens accident lawyer)
Comment: Plaintiff injured by an ambulance attendant who was too rough. She sued ambulance company and "John Doe." The rules permit a real person to replace John Doe in a lawsuit, even after the time limit (statute of limitations) has run. However, to do this after the statute of limitations has expired, you have to show that you tried really hard to determine John Doe's identity and couldn't. Plaintiff didn't make this showing here and wasn't permitted to substitute into the lawsuit her assailant instead of John Doe.

POLICE NEGLIGENT IN GETTING SEARCH WARRANT FOR DRUGS AND KICKING IN DOOR OF APARTMENT OF INNOCENT SLEEPING MOTHER AND CHILDREN (Posted by Queens accident lawyer Gary E. Rosenberg on Sep 21, 2011)
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants Transcare New York, Inc., doing business as Metrocare, and Alexandr Ilyukin appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Velasquez, J.), dated March 30, 2011, which denied their motion pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(5) and (8) to dismiss the amended complaint insofar as asserted against them.
ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law and the facts, with costs, that branch of the appellants' motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(5) to dismiss the amended complaint insofar as asserted against them is granted, and that branch of the appellants' motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(8) is denied as academic.
The plaintiff allegedly sustained personal injuries on March 12, 2004, in the course of being transported by ambulance to the defendant New York Community Hospital of Brooklyn (hereinafter the Hospital). More specifically, the plaintiff alleges that the emergency medical technician (hereinafter EMT) who responded to a call yelled at her and grabbed her by the upper arms, "jerking and squeezing her violently, causing [her] severe lacerations and bruises." Without conducting any pre‑action discovery to ascertain the name of the EMT or his employer, the plaintiff commenced the instant action by filing a summons and complaint on June 7, 2005, naming as defendants the Hospital, John Doe, and the City of New York. The plaintiff served discovery notices in April 2006; however, it was not until March 2009 that the plaintiff learned the identity of the EMT.
By motion dated May 11, 2009, approximately 15 months after the expiration of the statute of limitations (see CPLR 214[5]) and almost five years after the commencement of the instant action, the plaintiff moved pursuant to CPLR 3025(b) for leave to amend her summons and complaint to name Alexandr Ilyukin and Transcare New York, Inc., doing business as Metrocare (hereinafter Transcare/Metrocare) (hereinafter together the appellants), in place of John Doe. The motion was not served on the to‑be‑named parties, and the Supreme Court, in an order dated April 6, 2010, inter alia, granted the plaintiff's unopposed motion for leave to amend her summons and complaint. The plaintiff filed her supplemental summons and amended complaint on May 28, 2010, and thereafter served her amended pleading on the appellants. By motion dated August 2, 2010, the appellants moved to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(5) and (8). In the order appealed from, the Supreme Court denied the appellants' motion. We reverse.
The Supreme Court erred in applying the "John Doe" designation authorized by CPLR 1024 and the relation‑back doctrine of CPLR 203(c) to bar application of the statute of limitations. To make use of the "John Doe" procedure delineated in CPLR 1024, parties must demonstrate that they have exercised "due diligence, prior to the running of the statute of limitations, to identify the defendant by name and, despite such efforts, are unable to do so ... Any failure to exercise due diligence to ascertain the " [John] Doe's' name subjects the complaint to dismissal as to that party" (Bumpus v. New York City Tr. Auth., 66 A.D.3d 26, 29_30, 883 N.Y.S.2d 99). Likewise, a party seeking to apply the relation‑back doctrine to a later‑identified "John Doe" defendant, must establish that it made diligent efforts "to ascertain the unknown party's identity prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations" (id. at 35, 883 N.Y.S.2d 99).
Here, the plaintiff failed to exercise due diligence to discover the identity of the John Doe defendants prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations (see Comice v. Justin's Rest., 78 A.D.3d 641, 642, 909 N.Y.S.2d 670; Bumpus v. New York City Tr. Auth., 66 A.D.3d at 29-30, 883 N.Y.S.2d 99; Misa v. Hossain, 42 A.D.3d 484, 486, 840 N.Y.S.2d 614; see also Karagiannis v. North Shore Long Is. Jewish Health Sys., Inc., 80 A.D.3d 569, 569, 914 N.Y.S.2d 666). There is no indication in the record that the plaintiff engaged in any pre‑action discovery or Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law article 8) requests. Further, while some limited discovery demands were served prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations, when the responses received were less than adequate, the plaintiff failed to promptly seek further discovery, neglected to submit a properly executed authorization to the disclosing party, and failed to properly and promptly seek assistance from the Supreme Court (see Misa v. Hossain, 42 A.D.3d at 486, 840 N.Y.S.2d 614). Accordingly, neither CPLR 1024 nor the relation‑back doctrine of CPLR 203(c) barred application of the statute of limitations, and the Supreme Court should have granted that branch of the appellants' motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(5) to dismiss the amended complaint insofar as asserted against them as barred by the statute of limitations.
The plaintiff's remaining contention has been rendered academic in light of our determination.

Lessons Learned After 13 Prospects Said No to a Financial Plan
After a slow start, Sidney Divine hopes others will emulate his RIA.
For years, Sidney Divine was one of the most prolific financial planners at New England Financial, an insurance company that ultimately became part of MassMutual. He was nominated or won the award for financial planner of the year at the company from 2015 to 2017. But an increasing emphasis on selling insurance policies began to feel inhibitive.
"It was like if you had a hammer and everything was [treated like] a nail," he said. Some clients required different tools. A few were getting bludgeoned.
By separating the sale of any product from his compensation, Divine believed he could make better financial plans for more people. In 2017, he founded Divine Wealth Strategies, an RIA in Atlanta that primarily charges clients a flat annual fee for financial planning, investment management, and the opportunity to call on Divine when needed.
Pressure on fees is leading more RIAs to experiment, but most advisors still say portfolio management is part of their value proposition and charge clients a fee based on assets under management.
Divine was confident in himself and the business model, and it's worked out so far. Right now, he charges 54 individuals or households, on average, a little more than $5,000 per year (the RIA also manages only a total of $6.6 million in assets). The annual revenue is enough to cover the cost of an office, the necessary services to run the firm, the salary of an operations manager, a stipend for an associate planner, and support the lifestyle Divine wants for his family.
But it wasn't like that from the start and Divine hopes to offer inspiration for his associate planner and other advisors pursuing a career in wealth management. "Success is about leaving the door open for those to follow," he said.
Before founding his RIA, Divine already had some breakthrough moments as a financial planner that changed how he does business today. He recalled the day he stopped thinking about financial plans as another product to sell.
"When I first started I thought that was a pitch. Pitch is definitely not the right word. You would almost guarantee yourself a lot of headache and heartache if you went into a financial planning meeting and tried to pitch," he said. Instead, he started meetings by engaging in a conversation with potential clients about what they were seeking help with. After all, they were already sitting in front of Divine at that point — there was no need to pitch them on why they should be.
He remembered starting out clientless after 13 meetings.
"Activity is king," said Divine, who spends little time on social media or doing anything else during the workday that he doesn't see resulting in new clients, or adding value to existing ones. Although, at some point, doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result is insanity, he said.
So, he did away with the sample financial plan — a binder he used at the insurance company — that he presented in initial meetings. It was getting in the way of the conversation and discovery process. "It was almost like selling a car. It wasn't the right way to do it," he told RIA Intel.
"Most people actually know what they need to do. But knowing and doing are two different things. So, I think I started approaching it more as 'hey I'm going to be your accountability partner' and I think that was the major switch."
Now, at Divine Wealth Strategies, dedicating time differently to prospects also means unearthing things even their existing advisors aren't asking about.
Divine was stunned when a woman referred to him said her advisor at the time didn't ask about her student loans, or her goal to visit her mother overseas at least once per year. A fan of anime, she was also set on someday visiting Japan but never discussed that with a financial advisor before meeting Divine. In an attempt to keep the woman as a client, her former advisor told her she wasn't wealthy enough to need a financial plan.
"I think that kind of sums it up," Divine said, in reference to the woman, an example of the need and desire for financial planning.
There is a dearth of young talent in the wealth management industry, and Divine hopes to be part of the solution. He is not dogmatic about how advisors should be charging clients, but he does believe that financial planning will continue to become more prevalent and slowly dictate how fees for the service are charged.
And he's passing on what he's learned to his associate, Shaun Patterson. "I believe that she's going to be even better at this than I am."
How much bigger his RIA will get, or planners he'll hire, he doesn't know.
It's not always "if you don't grow, you die" in wealth management. A focus on financial planning is not a means for Divine Wealth Strategies to accumulate $1 billion under management, or to enrich Divine, and he's okay with that. He likes to repeat a phrase a mentor (another financial planner) shared with him.
"We get paid extremely well for what we do and, by the way, the money isn't bad either."
