we're going to change headmaster control on this walk-in cooler. One of the things I've been wanting to mention lately is how fast you can get things done with a three-eighths hose. You know we've been talking about the big blue hoses three eights for recovery makes a unbelievable difference. A lot of cool new tools and toys and stuff like that makes the job quicker, easier. I don't use these for vacuum anymore. They're dedicated for recovery. We're gonna pull right off the receiver. One of the things I couldn't find, AK's bucket lid thing, they don't make it no more. So I found this one by Plano. Pull it out, put your stuff in there like that. You've got your other hose here extension cord and some extra little stubs and an extra rack. So we're gonna pull a quick back on this recovery cylinder. This will get us at an angle so we can see what we've got going on. We have 20 pounds in there that's about what this thing holds. This regulator is awesome made by Western. Cool thing about this one here it's 250 pound one. They've got 500 and a 650 I think it is. But basically when you have it on you've got off, braze, purged and test. Test will take you up to 250 for this particular model. Alright so we're gonna go get that thing cut out of there. We're down to purge. I think we're just gonna go ahead and take this apart there and put a whole new 90 on it. It's just gonna be easier. Here's a new one. It's all machine threaded. I'm not gonna take a chance. We're just gonna take it apart. That is the awesome thing about the Bako wrenches. They're really thin and they're nice and wide.  To me it's just easier if we can do some of this external of the unit so we're not trying to braze uphill. Make it easier, work smarter, not harder. But as you see the sticker did not get damaged 250 degrees so it did not hurt it which is a good thing. So condensers come in the bottom, discharge on the left and receiver on the right as far as getting our nitrogen through. There is no valves so unfortunately you can work your way backwards through the receiver here. Let's go ahead and put our butt rag down here. Catch any drippage. So I'm thinking ding and ding that's easier. They say you don't have to do that but I'm gonna tell you right now that made it a whole lot easier. That will match up to that. Alright our battery went dead so didn't get all that like I thought I did. But we went ahead and sprayed all of our fittings including our head. We put the pin back in there that push rod and snug her up. But that's what we got right now. I don't think I don't know if it caught it on video or not but if it did great. We preheated the end of the copper and then used the power switch. Made that fitting right there unless fitting to have to stock. Only one solder joint. Got two nineties in there cleared her up, brought her through there. We used some paste on there along with wet rag and right now we're under pressure test. Gonna pull a vacuum on it and get her restarted. The reason why we're using the valves with this is so that we can valve it off, do our decay test, make sure it holds. You know what? Not going to be able to get that in there.  Well you know what? It's not a perfect world. There we go. That is not how I'd like to do it but it's how we're gonna do it. Like I said don't have a whole lot of options here. They have a fancy-fitting TrueTech tools you can get. I don't need it that often and I think it was rather expensive. Got her gas valve is open and she's starting to her pull down. Okay it was two minutes 40 seconds into it. We're just now finally starting to drop. So there's definitely you know leftover refrigerant in the oil. So it's gonna take a little bit to pull down. We're going kind of quick though and everything is the way it should be. So receiver, condenser, and discharge. We're gonna fill this up with our 3-eighths line. Gonna transfer a little bit of liquid kind of quick. We're dumping that right into the receiver. Alright we're at 11 pounds already. Check our time clock.   They got a slow start on them, a bump start they call it. It'll run for a couple seconds stop, run for a couple seconds stop. We've got her charging in there until we get solid and we'll add 10% to the total charge. Right now we're 14 pounds so 10 to 15% over that would be your winter charge. That's right in your books. Alright got us a new filter dryer in there. Gotta put a tee in there so I could pull the vac on it because it's missing the traditional valves that are normally out here. So got that there correctly through the bottom out to the side. Nothing coming through. Had to add a little extra yet and that should wrap this one up. Alright now that we're off site we can take a look at this valve. Alright so we have our discharge, our condenser, and our receiver. The condenser which is your liquid coming in through the bottom here is gonna come out and go to the receiver. Generally when everything's working properly we're at normal ambient temperatures you know and we're above say the 180 pressure mark. Well in this instance right now the bulb was cut. When that was cut they let the push rod here come forward. The spring and the cap inside here all come forward and will now allow the condenser to go to the receiver. So if you cut it you're gonna bypass this device as if it wasn't in the circuit at all. So inside here we've got a diaphragm just like a TXV. It's pressurized so there's that. Then like we seen earlier here's the push rod that comes right to there and then if you open up the rest of it we've got a spring and we've got a piece of metal here that basically acts as a valve. That spring just goes in the bottom of that brass piece there so it just sits there. This is not rocket science this is just machine thread there's nothing special sealing it other than a perfect nice machine thread. So we've got this spring drops into there this here you can see it's nicely machined you've got it the other side it's nice and flat it fits right on top of there perfectly if you look at that. So it sits there like that that's gonna go inside the body here the body's got a nice machine spot there you can see right here off to the right that is your receiver so the gas is going to come in through the condenser port out on the receiver with the spring like it is now nothing pushing against it that is going to allow the refrigerant to come right through and out but under normal circumstances this diaphragm is going to work the rod here is pushed down by the head the head will push that spring down I would assume that this is probably 180 pounds of pressure in there anything below 180 it's gonna cause it to start bypassing anything above it it's gonna be wide open so generally got 180 plus going through here you're gonna go straight on through if it's below 180 it's gonna push down it's gonna start letting the discharge gas come through and bleed through if you used to blow through it right right now you can hear that that's coming right through but that's with the diaphragm busted if it was pushed in we'll push on that and I will blow through the other one I'm gonna push on it like this you can see it start to move you'll hear the difference in the air going through that's just me pushing on the actual spring down there and it's letting it go through so that's all there is to this thing there's not a lot to it it's you know the spring and stuff's all calculated out same thing the diaphragm I would think you could easily tear it apart and clean it put it back together but generally we ain't got time for it if it didn't work to take it all back apart again for a second time when I took this apart in the video there wasn't a whole lot in here to be damaged when I soldered it in place I was just my own personal preference everything worked just fine but like I said here's that piece of metal there you can see the other side there is sheened out boom that push rod as I'm calling it fits right there you can see the groove it actually is grooved enough it'll actually hold it so and that just pushes up and down based off of the diaphragm there we go that's it


A 44-year-old Hills City man accused of shooting at police officers earlier this month has now been charged in connection with the incident. Roy Miller made his first court appearance today in Itasca County Court. Miller is charged with five counts of attempted second-degree murder, five counts of first-degree assault on a peace officer with deadly force, and two counts of domestic assault. The court ordered mental health evaluations to determine Miller's competency. The next court date will be set once the evaluations have been completed.

All right. Good afternoon everybody. Thanks for showing up again after lunch. That's always good to see you come back So we're gonna talk about Rebecca if there's any Rebecca's in the in the audience today. I apologize We're not picking on you But Rebecca is the one of the great acronyms that we in government like to use. That's the RBC a and It stands for There we go Just want to leave you in suspense there Rebecca is risk-based Corrective action So what is risk-based corrective action? So conventionally when we're looking at a clean up remediation looking at how much mass of the contaminant can we remove? The risk-based corrective action kind of turns that around and instead of how much can we remove? The question is how much chemical mass can we safely leave behind and the key there is safely This is not just a way to leave more behind But a way to balance that with the safety of the environment and human health And how do we also ensure then that future generations know what we did and where we did it at? This isn't a new process the Rebecca process dates back to the Superfund program when it was adopted in 1986 It was part of that evaluation manual. That was the first reference to it. It's been modified over the years 1990 ASTM actually came up with a standard for risk-based corrective action and a specific one for petroleum sites And then in a couple of updates over the years They've also added the inclusion of vapor intrusion, which is one of the risk pathways into that standard So this isn't something new that we just came up with but in the past the department has used risk-based corrective action But we've not had a standardized policy or procedure on how to go about that We've done it on a site specific basis usually working with the consultant that's working on the site So this is an effort for us to try to standardize that So obviously in the pristine world we'd remove everything and turn it back to pristine conditions But that is not always the case still one of our goals when we can but often we do have limited resources We have limited technology to use to get to that point And in some cases we end up doing more harm to try to get to that endpoint than by leaving some acceptable level of contamination in place And this provides us a consistent scientifically defensible process for how do we determine where that line is And we want it scientifically based legally defensible So we can use that across our various different programs and and Still substantiate that if we're challenged on that That doesn't mean there's not some mechanism in there for Or decision-making. It's not a cookie cutter process by any means There are still decisions that have to be made both by the consultant proposing this and by the department So there there is a bit of an art to it as well as strictly the science But it does at least provide a framework to facilitate that discussion Based on this very basic level. This is the conceptual model of a risk-based corrective action You start with the source of contamination That source is linked by pathways To a receptor in a receptor something that could be harmed by that contamination The example I've used here is for underground storage tanks of petroleum products That would be the source Groundwater could be one of many different pathways And the domestic water well would also be a pathway to the end user of the consumer who's drinking or utilizing that water Who would be our receptor? There's many different pathways to receptors and a lot of the focus of of the discussion in the conceptual model of using a rebecca process is to think about those pathways Some examples ingestion of water or soil vapor intrusion into indoor space or Ambient air effects in the outdoor space Dermal contact with either water or soil ingestion of contaminated biota or even exposure to that biota Potential plant uptake and exposure Groundwater discharge of surface water systems ecological receptors, which is any of the biota that's out there that could be harmed A lot of the focus of the rebecca process is usually focused on the human health component that obviously is one of our Is our primary concern But the ecological receptors are as well and a lot of times those kind of get neglected Our process does include ecological risk and so that needs to be addressed as well Two different mechanisms that you can utilize the rebecca process This shows the forward risk assessment. So this is basically answering the question What is the risk or a given site condition? We have a site. We know what the current conditions are What is the risk? And this walks you through the process first you have the environmental media the concentration and the horizontal vertical extent The fate and transport of that media through the different pathways That creates an exposure to our receptors Which creates the toxicity and that then is calculated as the risk or the hazard That's the forward mechanism Example this would be we have a site. It has very low levels We think we could probably close the site based on the risk We'll go through this process and determine if the current risk at the site is acceptable The other way to use the rebecca process is the backward risk assessment And that is to answer the question. What site conditions Would meet the given risk conditions? So now we're working backwards Starting with a known risk acceptable risk level and working backwards to develop what those site conditions would be And this would be such that we have a site. We know there's no more work to be needed But we need to know what level do we need to clean clean up to And so this would end up giving you a site specific Condition or conditions that you would then need to meet in order to see closer to the site where there's other Other one is where you start with your current conditions and determine if that site can be closed at that So very similar. I mean the the math is the same Regardless, but there's two different ways of looking at that So some key components if you're going to do a risk based corrective action Here's some things that you have to start with upfront And I appreciate Brenda's talk this morning talking about site characterization. She was looking at it from a More uh reclamation side from remediation side It's every bit as important for for this without a good Site characterization You can't develop that risk because if you don't know what you got It's very difficult to tell what that risk is going to be And likewise, even if you are working backwards If you don't know some of those site conditions, it's very difficult to tell what would be an acceptable cleanup criteria So obviously full delineation. That's very important We want to have a stable plume so that and One of the particularly challenging parts is if you have utility corridors Then may cause it to be something different than your typical Pregnant pancake of a plume that's sitting there. So The more complex your subsurface geology gets With either fractures natural pathways preferential pathways or man-made ones through utility corridors The more complex it becomes And so the more you have to work on doing an adequate delineation That means it's not going to be simply three boring stand to identify the the farthest out perimeter of of the plume You're going to have to do a little more detailed work on that And that leads into the site conceptual model. How else what's going on there? What do you think which is what's happening on the groundwater groundwater is always going to be a Critical pathway to evaluate. So what's happening there? What's happening on the surface? What do you have nearby? This conceptual model of the site is going to be really important And then as part of that conceptual model identifying those potential receptors And the pathways to those receptors for both current and future land uses We have a tendency to look at the current land use and say well Nobody's living there. Nobody's built a house there at this point But we have to remember unless there's something that can close off that pathway From the future we're going to leave this contamination place We have to think of what could happen on that site in the future and we'll talk about a Few different ways we can do that The other question is what are your endpoints now as part of our process in developing this we have Pulled in a lot of the standard regulatory endpoints such as our water quality standards The public EP MCLs or state MCLs and the regional screening levels And so those are already incorporated into the calculator But if you're looking at something different that we haven't covered with that you're going to need to know what that end point is Sometimes that's not easy. For example, if we're dealing with emerging contaminants such as PFOS Right now we for only a couple of the PFOS compounds do we have good toxicity data So you would not be able to do a risk-based corrective action for most of those PFOS compounds Because we don't know what the toxicity is And so we need to know what that endpoint is We also have to identify the cumulative effects There is no one toxicity value for crude oil It is toxicity based on the individual components and for oil Particularly we're going to look at the B-tex components and the PAH Components and we're going to look at the cumulative toxicity of all those and so again that increases the complexity of analysis Because you have to look at each of those individual parts and then also them all combined And then finally this isn't as useful it can be used but it's not as useful if there's no degradation Part of what's so useful of this is you can use that time Before that contamination reaches receptors to account for natural degradation If you don't have that such as with salts, which we tend to deal with a fair bit You may have some dilution in there and if you can account for that You can use that but you're not going to have the degradation that you would with the petroleum product And so the benefits of using this aren't going to be as significant as if you were looking at Hydrocarbon or organic solvents would be another example that would degrade One of the best ways the consultants can Simplify this process as you start crossing off pathways You identify your receptors And you look at how does my contamination get from my source to my receptor And start crossing off ones that aren't there the incomplete pathway There's different ways you can do that Perhaps it's because the natural site conditions for example If you have a clay aqua card underlying source contamination That's going to restrict movement into drinking water aquifer Then you can close off that that pathway if you can show that that is a continuous layer And that's naturally occurring You can also use administrative controls these would be things such as the zoning that's in place or Ordinances if you're working in a city or a county Or environmental covenants on the property that restrict future uses of that property Now obviously because you're restricting future uses The landowner of that property is going to be integral into this process because they're going to have to be involved in that discussion The other option is to use engineering controls the common one for this is if you have Concerned with vapor mitigation There's things you can do to the building itself through an engineer system to close off that pathway or prevent that that movement. So That's the first thing you're going to look at is can we close off those pathways? If we can't close off a pathway, we have to calculate what that risk is And the only ones we've calculated all those different risks will know which one is really going to govern the the cleanup So this it's not a quick and easy process. I guess that's maybe the point I'm making here. Is this not something that's going to make it Sites just magically go away But if you can put in the legwork to make a good case Using this process They will be able to close some sites that would probably be very difficult to get to closure otherwise because of some of the restrictions we talked about So it's after lunch. So I'm going to be a little interactive here and we're going to talk through kind of an example of a site So picture the site It's next to some rail lines. I see I think I even got a Point right here picture site. Let's just say hydrocarbon contamination Got rail lines there We've got some residential areas there some roads kind of park there So let's start off thinking We've got our source What are some of our receptors and let's just not even worry about the ecological receptors Let's focus on human health receptors. What are human health receptors? Just shout them out Groundwater. Okay. Groundwater would be a good pathway to What would be our final receptor there? The residents yep the people living in those houses right there Most likely could be people recreating that park if there's wells there Those could also be potential receptors other potential receptors So if exposure people walking across the site walking around the site either Recreating the site or just walking through The other other potential receptor there could be people doing work on the site if if there's excavation or Things being done there. That would also be a potential receptor Anything else? What was that? Vapors. Yes. So that would be another pathway to a receptor People just being in the area or even outside the area the vapors could travel some distance. So yeah, let's talk about some of those pathways We've identified so when we got groundwater as a pathway to Water well either drinking or or exposure. We've got vapors both in the air potential vapors to the the structures itself Dermal contact from people Recreating on the site or people workers digging the site Why is the difference to differentiate between somebody that might just be walking and playing on the site and somebody that's working on the site Different toxicity because you have you could have little kids You could have at-risk people that are recreating their workers. We make some assumptions as to age and That can affect what we could use for a toxicity value there What would be one of the problematic pathways that I that you'd be worried about on this site And it may help you figure it out if I mentioned that this park here is called roundhouse park This actually used to be a roundhouse a railroad facility an industrial site So you could have lots of preferential pathways through utility corridors there some you may never Not even know about because of it was you know put in place long before one call was ever a thing And so you're really going to have to do your due diligence in the delineation of that in order to know that we don't have a preferential pathway running along right away here that could be actually causing a even a very slim finger of that contamination to move Move off in that direction And that'd be one and again Railroad right away a lot of times we've got other utilities using those as well. So that would be one of the problematic areas that I would be worried about That we didn't talk about who not to didn't touch on the ecological receptors But what about the consumption or human consumption of wildlife? Could that be a pathway? Yeah, that could be a pathway. How can we control that in this situation though? Considering that this is probably this is in town. We'll say this is in town That if there's an ordinance prohibiting hunting in town, which there may be we're hunting within a certain distance Of residences, which we know there is Then you could close that pathway because you would not be able to be hunting in that area So you can cross that off this fairly easily And that's kind of how the analysis go identifying the receptors the pathways to those receptors Crossing off the ones you can and then you look at what you have left And you make this a do we calculate them do we close those pathways through one of those control methods that we mentioned here Or do we do we calculate it and and determine what level we have to clean up to? Any questions or any other thoughts on this? On our little example site here Yes, future that good example a good good thought there is so that we kind of talk about current Current things but if you look here, there's some streets It looks like that may be an area for future development the way the city's planning there And so we would need to look at future uses as well So is there is there zoning restrictions? Or do we need environmental covenants to prevent say the house with a basement? or Other types of development. Maybe we want to restrict that area. So but There's not a school or or some other type of park or something placed over that contamination. And so that's A good thought where we have to look to those future uses as well other thoughts comments Little bit on the timeline. And so we've been working on this That's been Shannon a little over a year To develop this rebecca process we use a consultant with some familiarity developing these rebecca processes for many other states And so you might see some similarities with with other states, which is is fine. Again, there's a standard ASTM standard for the process of the process should be familiar if you've done this in other places We'll be publishing our Documents the the instructional documents the excel calculator that goes along with that on our website I'll say this week. It may not go up exactly right away tomorrow, but this week sometime and so those will be available for you to download and look at and Peruse and see what questions you may have We're still training on it. We're going to be doing some additional training with the at the deq in march as we're still learning as well And then I would like to hear feedback from those that may be using that as a tool what you feel is necessary for training Do you there may be a handful that want the deep dive getting right into the calculations others may want just a Shallower level to look at here's what it is And here's how you would take it to your in-house risk assessor and deal with and present them the information to do their magic So looking for feedback on training needs and what everybody would Appreciate on that after you've had a chance to look at it But we can really just begin discussing some of these sites at any time if you have ones that you've been Interested in waiting knowing we're developing this we can start talking about those now any time So bear with us as we work through the first few it will take a little longer as we're learning as well But we'll get up to speed and then that should simplify the process for everybody So again our goal with this Is to take a difficult problem And rather than finding a solution that really only makes things worse to find a good compromise that meets the needs of Being a reasonable cleanup and also being protective of public health and the environment. So But that are there any questions? Yes, sir Sure, we can certainly look at existing sites With that if the sites have obviously already been closed, they're closed We're not going to go back and reopen anything But if you have a site you're currently working on yes, we can look at utilizing this understanding that Yep, we've we may you may be backtracking a bit in order to Get the necessary information, but we can we can look at that For existing open sites We can yes Yeah, if we have sites that are still open We can apply this to that and keep in mind this this is not a requirement You do not have to use the rebecca process You can still basically the Well, you're kind of using the rebecca process, but the tier one levels are basically what we've utilized in the past if you reach Clean up for that level you you're done. You don't have to go through the calculations of that. So So that's still an option You don't have to use rebecca if you think there'd be a benefit in using that for a site that is remaining open Yes, we can we can have that discussion Look at that site and see if we can Utilize it for that


Crimea and battle in Black Sea will become main center of war between Russia and Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that in 2024, Crimea and the related battle in the Black Sea will become the war's center of gravity. Zelensky said this in an interview with The Economist. Zelensky says little about what Ukraine might achieve in 2024, noting that leaks before last summer's counter-offensive helped Russia prepare its defenses. But if he has anything to say, it is that Crimea and the related battle in the Black Sea will be the war's center of gravity. As Zelensky noted, isolating occupied Crimea and weakening Russian military capabilities there is extremely important for us because it is the way for us to reduce the number of attacks from that region. The president is convinced that a successful operation would be an example to the world and would also have a major effect inside Russia. The loss of a central element of Kremlin propaganda would show that thousands of Russian officers died only because of Putin's ambitions. But Zelensky says the speed of any success will depend on the military assistance Ukraine receives from its Western partners. He has asked for the Taurus, a German-made long-range cruise missile, with the ability to explode deep inside a target. This could allow Ukraine to destroy the Kersh bridge, effectively isolating the Crimean Peninsula from Russia, the Economist writes. Russia has to know that for us, this is a military object, Zelensky stressed. As the president said, his immediate task in the Land War will be to defend the East to save these very important cities of Ukraine, East and South, Kharkiv, Nipro, Zaporizhia, Kersen, Mikoliv, as well as to protect Ukraine's critical infrastructure.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss linear and non-linear relationship in non-linear data and in family drawer the line of first. Now we will see different types of association between two variables. Now whenever we are given a data we follow four steps to find the relationship. First of all we check the pattern of set of plot, then we find the degree of relationship and then we check the type of relationship and then we check if our plans exist. Now in our earlier session we have discussed the relationship and degree of relationship in two variables and now we will see the type of relationship. Now there are two types of relationships, linear and non-linear. Now a linear relationship is that in which the points on the scatter plot are moving upwards or downwards but almost in a straight line and a non-linear relationship is a relationship in which points on the scatter plot are moving upwards or downwards but not in a straight line rather in the form of a curve. Now in the figure one these are moving upwards so there is a positive relationship and we see that these points almost move in a straight line the relationship is called a positive relationship. In this second figure the points are again moving upwards and showing positive relationship but they are not following a straight line rather linear relationship is called non-linear positive relationship and similarly we have linear negative relationship and non-linear negative relationship. Now let us see how we will check for the outlines. Now I will show the scatter plot which do not fit in the general trend of the data. Now look at this scatter plot are away from all. Now let this be point A and this be point B but here one point is according to the trend lying on the same as the point B is not according to the trend. Now let us discuss line of best fit. Now this type of line is drawn in a linear relationship when almost in a straight line. Now when we have drawn the scatter diagram and we have come to know about the pattern which should have about same number of points above. So here we have drawn line of fit and here we have to pay attention to the closeness of points on either side of the line should follow general trend of the data. That is to most of the data points and here we have drawn a line to show linear relationship. Now look at these two images. Now in image way from the line this is not a correct line of fit. In image 2 we can see all the points are close to the line and are both above and below the line. So this is the correct line. Now let us discuss an example. The table current in miles and number of gallons of gas used in it describe the relationship between the two variables. If the data is linear draw the line of best fit. Do you think line is a good fit for the data set? Why or why not? Now let us start with its solution. For this given data we will draw a, now we know that distance traveled depends on the number of gallons of gas available. A scale of 2 per number of miles data let us draw the scatter plot audit pair 0 0 on the graph. So this is the point which represents the audit pair 0 0 when the next audit pair which represents the audit pair 2.3 75 the other audit pairs also by plotting all the audit pairs we are getting this scatter diagram for the given data. Now in this scatter diagram all the points are moving in upward direction. When we are going to increase in the number of gallons the distance traveled is also increased a positive relationship. Now these points are might be close not too far from each other. So there is a moderate degree of association between the two variables and here all the points for the same trend there is a moderate pervasive relationship between the two variables and it is also clear from the graph that almost all the points are moving upward in a straight line a linear relationship there are no outliers. Now let us draw 0 0 in the table so we start from a region and draw in such a way that all the points are close to the line or lie up. So here we have drawn a line in such a way that all the points are close to the line. Now this line which is drawn because all the points are on the line to the line on either side. So in this session we have learnt about linear and nonlinear relationship and how to draw the line of fit for a bivariate theta and this completes our session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.


Hello, everyone. We're going to get started here. My name is Mark Dietrich. I'm with Brocade and This is Gary. Hi, I'm Gary, FunQuest with Hewlett Packard, and we're going to talk to you today about using fiber channel sand infrastructure in open-stack environments. So some of the things we're going to cover. Why is fiber channel support important? The blueprint that we're working from What's planned for the ice house release? Some items about fiber channel zoning and a proof of concept. So as far as why is fiber channel support important? That has a lot to do with the installed base of fiber channel, which is huge. Now we're primarily talking about enterprise, but enterprise is a significant part of where open-stack is going. And let's talk about performance, for example. Our friends at VMware, when they do benchmark testing for performance and throughput, they do it on fiber channel. And why do they do it on fiber channel? They do it on fiber channel because it's lightning fast. I mean, it's very fast. And it has the least amount of overhead and the least amount of latency. That's why they use fiber channel compared to any other protocol. It's not that other protocols won't work. They will. But there is a place for fiber channel when you're looking for high performance. Fiber channel has a lot of resiliency. It's been around a long time. It's available for fiber channel in terms of resiliency and availability. And it does provide some good means for security as well. So as far as why we want to do this project for Ice House, is currently there is a way to do volume attach and detach as of the grizzly release. But it's plagued with the problem of either you have to have open zoning, which is a non-starter, really. Because if you can't isolate one tenant or one host from another's LUN, that's a problem. Or you could pre-provision all the initiators into pre-made zones. And that kind of defeats the whole purpose of having an open stack to begin with. So that's a non-starter as well. So the whole goal here is to automate zone configuration, to automate the detection of sand context, and the application of zones into current zone sets without any manual intervention. So maybe one thing to add there. This is good what Mark brought out. The question, why fiber channel? Who cares about fiber channel? It's a question that we got a lot of people asking about, and we started bringing this into open stack. And it's a good question to address. And I think what we look at is we have so many customers being from HP, Brocade as well, they're using fiber channel in their data centers. That's what they're familiar with. That's what they've built out their infrastructure with. They want to start deploying some cloud, either proof of concepts, or they want to start doing some projects and operating them as a private cloud in their data center. And they want to be able to hook into the existing assets that they have, the resources, round storage and such, and be able to reuse that as they grow up their private cloud in the environment. I think that was really the impetus behind bringing fiber channel in as a first class supported interconnect between storage, sender storage, and the compute side, the Nova side, to be able to stitch together environments and support customers using the infrastructure that they have. And I think going forward they still can use iSCSI, they can use fiber channel, they can now have a choice, or FCOE, if they want to go there. But they have a choice, so we want to make sure that the choice of fiber channel has the advantages that fiber channel inherently has within it as a technology that they can benefit from those, actually use that in their environment. Absolutely. So there were two blueprints. One is in the past, and that was the implementation that was done in Grizzly, which didn't provide for any automation of zoning. However, the second one is the fiber channel sand zone controller blueprint, and that one automates zoning, which is really where we need to be for this to work. In fact, I believe there's a number of other things past Ice House that need to be done, but one thing at a time. And that blueprint has been approved and the coding is in the works. Actually, prototypes are already working. It's just a matter of hardening the code. So there's a volume manager, and then there's a fiber channel volume driver. A new fiber channel sand lookup service was needed, because with sands, there's always two fabrics at least. There could be multiple fabrics, but there's never one fabric. And if you can't tell which fabric the ports on your target are in relative to the VM, how are you going to do the zoning? So you need a mapping service, which is what the lookup service does. And then a fiber channel zone manager, which manages the life cycle of that zone, and then a driver, a fiber channel zone driver. And that zone driver, in turn, talks to sub-drivers that any, like Brocade will have one, Cisco will have one, so that it could talk to their specific equipment. Do you want to add to that, Gary? Yeah, that's good. So Nova makes a volume request to sender, and then the volume manager will gather initiator and target worldwide with some info. And then the volume manager will then call the zone manager, and of course zoning has to be enabled. The fiber channel zone manager and the fiber channel zone driver will provide the information needed to create the zone, so that you'll have either a single initiator, single target, or single initiator multiple target type zones, depending on how it's configured. And the sender volume manager completes it by telling Nova about the connection. So here's another way to look at it in which, so the first thing that happens is Nova will contact sender, and then sender talks to the volume manager, then communicates with the fiber channel volume driver, then it does a sand lookup, that information comes back, talks to the storage volume, the volume then goes back to the driver, and the volume manager here communicates with the zone manager and then the zone driver to the fabric. So in this case a brocade fabric, and then ends up going back to where it began in order to complete the process. So a little bit about zoning, there's two modes, there's fabric and there's none, and fabric means that you want the fabric to do the zoning. Now an emerging technology in sands is peer based zoning or it's also called target based zoning. The nice thing about target based zoning is you no longer have to do zoning as a storage admin anymore. All storage admins have to put a LUN mask on every LUN to define the initiator that will talk to it. So if you have that information, why do you also have to do zoning? The array can just tell the fabric to create a zone based on the port that that LUN mask was put on and the initiator's information. So it completely takes away an entire process of having to do zoning separate from the LUN masking process. If you want to do that, you do none. In other words, you don't want the fabric to do the zoning because what will end up happening is the LUN masking information will be sent to the volume driver. The volume driver will communicate with the array. The LUN mask will be put on and then it's responsibility of the array to update the zoning in the fabric. So that's why there's a none. But if you want to do a traditional, and I believe all the storage manufacturers, HP included, and Brocade and Cisco are all going to support peer based zoning or target defined zoning as well as regular fabric zoning. And as far as what you could do in an active zone set is you could add or update, remove, or read or get zoning information. Yes, I think this is a key part here and that is, is that if you have fabric child storage that you're using, as Mark says, does target based zoning, then you don't need to have the explicit zoning manager do fabric zoning for you. Go ahead and let the array do the fabric zoning. And basically then you don't need a zoning manager driver to do that yourself. If however you don't have that kind of storage, then you'll be able to use a vendor driver under the zoning manager to do direct fabric zoning for the volume attaches explicitly in the fabric. So you can, where the zoning is being orchestrated from is really up to you who are putting the environment together, whether you want the storage to do it, the array to do it, or if you want the zoning manager under Cinder to do it, it's up to you. Yeah, it's important to realize that all the target defined zoning is an emerging technology. It'll be in next generation arrays and next generation products from the sand companies like Brocade and Cisco. The type of zoning supported as far as best practice is the single initiator and single target zoning, both types depending on what you prefer. I know some customers prefer one over the other. It may result in a differing number of zones and depending on your environment, how many zones, there could be limitations or reasons why you want one over the other. And you also need a way to perform zoning on multiple fabrics or sands. Every sand is going to have at least an A and a B fabric, but you could also have in these type of environments, multiple sands that are their own sand islands, and you need a way to be able to map ports to the correct fabrics, and that's all been taken care of. So there's a fabric mode, when you put it in fabric mode, because I told you there's two modes, and then you have the type fiber channel that instantiates the appropriate vendor specific fiber channel driver, and then that delegates the zoning responsibility appropriately. And the Brocade fiber channel zone driver supports, of course, Brocade products, and there would be different drivers for other vendors. Okay, so at HP we have been working with the fiber channel, bringing fiber channel into the environment with Brocade, with IBM, EMC, a group of companies, and in doing so we've set up an environment where we're actually using this, and so I want to kind of walk through how does this fit together and what are the responsibilities of the different pieces and components in the environment, just so you get an understanding of how things fit. So I'm not sure how clearly it came out, but the first fiber channel support came out in the Grizzly release. This is where we have the ability to support volume drivers and sender that can attach storage volumes to the Nova hosts via fiber channel. That was what was brought into Grizzly, and what we came out with at that time was a reference driver, as well as a base class for other vendors to write additional drivers for their devices, and we brought out an HP 3-par driver as a reference driver in the environment. So that's what came out in Grizzly. So that is this 3-par driver here talking to a 3-par storage array and being able to then attach those, these are just some pictures of dense server HP, blade servers, dense server racks, that can be Nova host compute side for attaching storage that was provisioned over in the storage system, attaching it over to the hosts. The Nova side then attaches those volumes in the regular fashion that it does up to the guests themselves as you're attaching volumes. So this light-colored blue part is what was done in Grizzly and enabled in Grizzly that's been running now for a couple of releases. There were some aspects of that that still were not on par with some of the iSCSI capabilities that were brought in in Havana. Some of the interaction with Glance and such, some of those functions were filled out. So now that the fiber channel capabilities really are more on par with what you have available from a iSCSI aspect. So that was what was brought in then so over Grizzly and Havana. The work on the zoning manager was being done during the Havana time. It didn't get in at the freeze for Havana. So I think the current goal is to bring that in here in Ice House in the first sprint and to start landing that. So you should have it there by the end of Ice House. What that brings in is then this fiber channel zoning manager that Mark just described where we can now have the ability for the fabric to be zoned as volumes are attached over to the host. Previously in Grizzly and Havana, we required that the sand itself was in an open zone state. There was no active zoning going on unless you happened to have one of the newer array types that does target-based zoning. Most people don't. So you were constrained to just having an open zone sand where now what we're bringing in here in Ice House is the zoning manager capability, Brocade really spearheading the development on that, working with the rest of the companies in the group that's involved, and then writing a reference zoning driver to talk to the Brocade fabric that can orchestrate zones then to be set up, created, modified, deleted as attachments are made across the fabric to the hosts. So that's what's brought in. In the environment that we have, so we have still the volume creation and attachment is done by the cinder volume driver, no change there. The only thing that is a new service that is available to that driver as Mark talked about is there is a lookup service that's now available from the zone manager such that the array driver, if it does need to know anything about being fabric aware of where to make storage visible across different sands, it can get visibility into what its connectivity onto the different sands are from the zoning manager and do lookups to find out what connectivity it has to the different sands that exist, that storage is being attached over. So that is a service that can help some of the arrays that may be doing specific mapping to specific ports or interfaces on the array to be able to orchestrate dual fabric resilient environment presentations. So that's now available as well. So this is something that is the environment that we use from a reference standpoint that we have set up, we have working and so if anyone is interested in setting up this kind of environment, certainly we'd love to talk to you more and talk to you about any of the issues that you might be seeing and how to get past those. So who was in the previous session that IBM gave? Anybody? IBM gave a DR OpenStack talk and to be truthful mostly of what they were getting out was array to ray replication using something like Global Mirror, for example, between the arrays and HP has similar technologies, actually all the array manufacturers have similar technologies and if you want to use that type of technology you have to get your lones that the arrays are replicating off fiber channel arrays. So that is a use case for fiber channel in this particular environment an OpenStack environment is if you want to replicate the way IBM described in their last session you have to connect to the array using fiber channel. So that's a use case that we don't have a slide for but I was thinking about when they gave that talk. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut that up. There is a session this afternoon up in the Cinder design area around supporting replication in Cinder. If you're interested in that this afternoon I think something, I don't remember the exact time but let's look it up so that could be of interest. So the way the arrays are today they could support thousands of lones that they could become an inventory to be connected to various workloads. Am I wrong? That's right. If you want workloads to have persistent disk like this and be able to connect up using high-performance fiber channel connections this is enabling technology. Open up some questions. Yeah, so let's see, do we have one more? Okay, yep. So a few places you can go. First off, if you want to be involved certainly come talk to us. There is a lot of work going on in the area as we said here in the Ice House development cycle. Brocade booth. Talk to somebody there. Talk grab mark. Varma is sitting quietly against the wall. Talk to him doing a lot of the development for brocade. So anyways, if you're interested, yeah, invite you to please come and talk to us and we can point you in the right direction. So comments, questions? Yeah, that's a great question. The question is, is there any plans to instrument any of this and make it so that troubleshooting, diagnostics, those kind of things can be done through OpenStack. Obviously there's the salometer opportunity. I think that's something that is being looked at. I don't think we have anything there right now to talk about. So I think right now you're using, if you're a service provider, you're using your vendor tools to diagnose the equipment, to troubleshoot. As some of these things get plumbed up into things like salometer and can be monitored at that level, that will help. There will probably always be a place where you're going to need to go down to your vendor, device managers, element managers to find failures, isolate failures, swap out equipment as it fails, that kind of stuff. So I don't think what we're trying, at least this ice house release is not trying to solve that problem. The ice house release really is trying to make it so that you can use fiber channel infrastructure in your under infrastructure up at the tenant level of volumes attaching to instances and such, no change up there. But you now have a technology choice at the infrastructure level to use fiber channel in addition to ice scuzzy or other technologies that are supported. So good question, but our focus at this point is kind of at the crawl phase. Let's get the infrastructure supported so it can be used in the environment and now we can start looking at instrumenting the upper layers beyond that. At Brocade we've identified some issues that are along the lines of what you're talking about. When you get into large multi-tenant environments you don't want to get into a situation in which this tenant is causing headline blocking for this tenant, right? So Brocade is in the process of engineering solutions for that. I don't have anything to report at the moment but we are working, I could just say we're working on that in reality because if you're going to use fiber channel in an open stack environment and you're going to have multi-tenants so let's say it's a service provider environment but it doesn't have to be it could be an enterprise environment as well you can't have you can't have one client causing problems for another one and it's not scalable to hook up more IS cells it's not scalable to use B-sands or logical switches because if you're going to scale into the hundreds which is what we anticipate how can we make this work so that's what we're working on. Other questions, comments? Okay, yeah so when you make changes how do you ensure that you aren't impacting all of the services that are running on top of the infrastructure I think that's always, that's a key question that any service provider has that's doing any maintenance on their hardware I think that's an excellent question I don't think we've changed that problem It's actually one of the benefits of fiber channel is that you can at least do in-service software upgrades or hot code load depending on what you want to call it without disruption I wouldn't do it during the middle of prime time but still it should be disruption less and a lot of that's true for the array side too right? Yeah this is enterprise class equipment that does handle hot upgrades rolling upgrades of firmware across the arrays, across the fabric what we showed was a resilient fabric configuration where we can take down a service provider could take down one side of their sand for reconfiguration and then roll over to the other keep things live during that so that reference implementation we showed you was an enterprise class resilient setup that does allow for continuous operation and allow you to roll your hardware and roll your firmware and reconfigure with only some degraded areas but no outages across that it doesn't change it's the same as what the data center admin has to deal with in a data center today so we really haven't changed that problem or helped it but the solutions that are there in the data center are still available to use with OpenStack here making the change more frequently so in terms of what changes are happening if you're talking about rezoning the sand frequently so the zoning that is done is only impacts the involved host but yes there is zone modification being done whenever there's attachments being done to hosts from new arrays additional arrays those kind of things so we've looked at that as well and engineering has proposed some some ways to do that in which there might be timers in which it's done in batches less frequently that type of those type of solutions are being looked at but in general remember it's the host and the array that are being zoned together so every volume isn't going to necessarily require a new zone only a path between an array and a host needs a new zone and there may be 100 guests on that host and all of the volumes consumed by that coming from that array are sharing the same zone so it isn't the fact that every attach is necessarily creating or modifying the zone so it maybe isn't as bad as what you're thinking or as frequent time is up okay great well thank you everyone if you have any more questions so we'll be here for a few minutes


Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage. Kathy Lewis, Elliot Lewis. Two of the most distinguished names in radio. Appearing each week in their own theater, starring in a repertory of transcribed stories of their own in your choosing. Radios for most players in radios for most plays. Ladies and gentlemen, Elliot Lewis. Good evening. May I present my wife, Kathy? Good evening. We're privileged tonight to introduce to you a new author. The young man is better known as an actor and announcer, but as you will soon hear, he also can write more than his name. May we present Tom Dixon. Good evening. The play is called An Ideal Couple. And since Tom wrote it and also has the other gifts Elliot mentioned, he will play the radio announcer in the story. So, Tom, Kathy, here we go with An Ideal Couple. Oh, Mrs. Johnson, I'll bet you say that to all the boys. I don't know all the boys.  It's all right. All right. But tell me, when is this gift of gab of hers most apparent? Well, you know... I'll bet it's twice as powerful when the little darling wants a new hat, huh? At least twice. Now let's get on with the more serious aspects of the situation. Mrs. Johnson, do you know why the Johnsons are on our program? Happy, though married? I think I do. How about you, Mr. Johnson? I'm afraid not. You mean you don't know why you're here? No. No, I don't. Oh, do you have a surprise coming to you? Because the judges have decided that Mrs. Johnson's letter was the best received in this month's contest, which makes the Johnsons our ideal couple on happy, though married.  How do you feel now? Bewildered. Bewildered, huh? How about you, Mrs. Johnson? How do you feel? Just wonderful. I'll bet you do. Well, before we tell you about those grand surprise gifts our sponsors have lined up for you, let's sketch in a bit of your married life to prove that you deserve to be our ideal couple. How to start with, Mrs. Johnson, how long have you been married? 25 years this month. 25 years? Now, that deserves a hand! How long did you know each other before you became engaged? Oh, we knew each other from the time we were children, but we didn't start going together until Stan finished college. Now, how did your first date come about? We really didn't have a first date. I went to a high school graduation party with another beau, and, uh, well, you know how those things happen. Oh, do I? Uh, Mr. Johnson looked pretty good, do you? Well, yes. Now, I want you to listen to the song Larry Robbins is going to play on the organ. Larry? You know what that song is? No. No. That's one of the songs that was popular in those days when you two fine people first met. A song that we understand was played at that party Mrs. Johnson was just talking about. Mr. Johnson, did you come to the party alone? As a matter of fact, I did. Gee, Howie, I'd forgotten how cozy these hometown parties were. After the glamour of the university? Sounds a bit silly, Stan. Nothing there was quite like this. You mean no party at State Ad Leola Web in attendance? Huh, is that obvious? Obvious? Would a swat in the nose seem obvious? You've been staring at her all night. She certainly has, uh, bloomed. That's the word you're searching for, my friend. Why don't you ask her to dance? She came with Benton, didn't she? I'll let the great Jim Benton scare you off. Leola is just, uh, passing fancy with that laugh. Why does he let her sit on the sidelines while he swaps jokes with the boys? Maybe the jokes are safer. What do you mean by that crack? Nothing, nothing at all. Besides, she's not sitting on the sidelines. She's heading this way. I bet she asked one of us to dance. I bet it's you. Oh, you must be crazy. I bet you'd buy it. Okay. Why did you get back from the university? Uh, well, yesterday. Yeah, it was yesterday. Oh, it's wonderful. It's just wonderful to have you back. Uh, this is a lady's choice, Stanley. I thought, uh, oh, that is if you care to... To, uh, to dance? Oh, brilliant. Yes, would you care to? Uh, uh... Yeah, he'd be delighted. Hello, Howard. Good evening, Leola. Well, don't just stand there, old man. Get going. Oh, yes. Uh, it was very nice of you, Leola, to invite me to dance with you. It wasn't nice of me at all. I just wanted to dance with one of the handsomest men in the crowd. Johnson, you owe me a dollar. What do you owe that awful Howard Rines one dollar for? Oh, nothing. It's just an old bet we had. What do you see in Howard as a friend? Well, I don't know. We've been friends all our lives. What do you ask? Just curious. You're with Jim Benton tonight, aren't you? I suppose you could call it that. Yes. You dance very well, Stanley. Thank you. You dance beautifully. Just beautifully. Tell you, I... I think that Benton must be a bit silly in the head. What do you mean, Stanley? Passing up a chance to dance with you for a few... Oh, spoke too soon, Harry Kane. Really? Just my luck. I wonder what got into Mr. Benton. Oh, wait a minute. I mean, isn't that just like a man? Ignore a girl all night, and then just when she starts to have a little fun. So she asked you to dance, huh? You accepted, of course. As a matter of fact, I didn't. You didn't? No, I... I was too scared. A friend accepted for me. Well, so much for your first dramatic meeting. Now let's get to the proposal. Mr. Johnson, don't tell me you let her do that, too. No, I... I did that, all right. How was he, Mrs. Johnson? Romantic? Oh, my, yes. Do you think you were romantic, Mr. Johnson? I... I guess you could call it that, yes. Did you get down on your knees? Oh, I went farther than that. I was... I was flat on my stomach. That was the nicest picnic spread I've eaten in a long time. I'm glad you like it. In this spot, the brook, the trees, wildflowers. I haven't felt this good in my whole life. Why should you feel so extra special good today? All out of reasons. The food was good. The spot is lovely. The grass feels good against my belly. Excuse me, stomach. And... And the greatest reason, I guess, is because you're here. Really, Stan? I mean it. You're wonderful. It's just too bad Mary and Bob couldn't come after accepting your invitation and everything. Oh, well, you know, Bob and Mary... always changing plans at the last second. Yeah. They do seem to be happily married, though. I suppose so. Bob certainly isn't my idea of a good husband. Oh? Who is? Who's what? Your idea of a good husband. Jim Benton? Me? Mary Jim Benton? Jim Benton were the last man alive. I'd be an old maid. Oh, I certainly like a nickel for every time Mr. Benton proposed to me. I thought all the girls considered him such a whale of a catch. Not this young lady. Uh... What type of man would you like to have for a husband? Oh, I don't know. Somebody that's considerate, steady, easy to get along with. Good looking too, maybe. Uh-huh. I see. Why'd you ask, Tim? Well... Well, Leola... I... Yes, Tim? Leola, I don't qualify for looks much, but I am steady. I think I'm considerate, and people say I'm easy to get along with. We've been seeing each other pretty steady for almost a year now, ever since Jim Benton left town. And I honestly think you're the most wonderful girl I could ever hope to know. This might seem sudden to you, but I've thought about us an awful lot. And the more I think, the more I... The more I... Go on, Stanley. The more I think we could be happy together. I love you so very much. Please marry me. Stanley... Of course I'll marry you. Well, how do you mean, Mr. Johnson? You were flat on your stomach. We were on a picnic, and I was stretched out on my stomach in the grass. And you accepted his proposal, Mrs. Johnson, even though we spoke it from that unromantic posture? I certainly did. And glad you did too, I bet. Now, about arguments. Did you have many disagreements in your 25 years of married life? Oh, just a few. Little ones. I see. Mr. Johnson, how did you settle your quarrels? Well, we compromised. Compromised? She saw things her way, and I saw things her way. Now, Dougie, darling, Mommy's right here to see your little man doesn't cry there. No, no, no, no. Leo, I think you picked Douglas up too much. Aren't you going to spoil him? Spoil him? With love and affection? Spoil him, trying to make up for the things his father doesn't give him? What thing? But you think it's right to raise a child in a one-bedroom walk-up apartment? It may not be right, dear, but it's all we can afford. Lots of kids grow up strong and healthy in worse places than this. Not my son.  It's not dirty and it's not ugly. Howard says he thinks you've done a wonderful job decorating the place. Howard, what does he know about decorating? Just thought you'd be pleased. Oh, I'd be pleased if you'd stop spending so much of your time with Howard. Why? Well, he's not a good influence on you. He's lazy. He has no ambition. Funny, please. In the first place, I don't spend all of my time with Howard. And besides, I'm not a child. I'm not liable to be influenced that easily. Now, please, let's just stop this. You're tired and I don't blame you, but honestly, we're doing fine. Now, tell me the truth, aren't we? Compare it to Alice and Jim Benton. We're doing quite badly. Jim Benton inherited a factory in $100,000. How can you compare us to Jim Benton? Be reasonable, dear. Be reasonable? Why don't you start being reasonable? I don't worry about myself, Stanley, but we've got a son now. You have responsibilities. You can't afford to let yourself be pushed around. You can't afford to let yourself be talked out of a raise that you deserve. You've got a son. Tell me what it is you want of me, Leola. I want to make you happy. I'll do everything in my power to make you happy. Just tell me what it is you want. Those are big words. I mean them. I swear it to you. I mean them. You've got to stop sitting around, Stanley. You've got to progress. You're too easy going for your own good. You used to tell me you liked an easy going man. But you aren't going at all. You're at a standstill. You don't seem to have any ambition.  I have a lovely wife and a fine son and a job and a place to live. What more do I need? Do you think Jim Benton would be content? Jim Benton. You always come back to him. Benton was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's a drunk, a boor and a vicious snob. But you hold him up as a shining example of manhood. Why? I don't know. Sometimes I think you wish you'd married him. He had only to ask me. What? You heard me. I'll see you, lady. Where are you going? Does it really matter? Duggy, no.  Saw things her way and you saw things her way. All that's pretty good, Mr. Johnson. It's just such a sense of humor about serious matters that made you and Mrs. Johnson this month's ideal couple on happy though married. And now in just a moment we'll continue your story. But first... You are listening to Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage tonight's play, an ideal couple. With warm weather here and people outdoors more often, this is a good time to get safety-minded about our timber lands. Nine out of ten of last year's foremost fires were man-made. Americans have a vital stake in our woodlands and their contribution to national defense.  Let them grow. Crush cigarettes out. Really out. Douse campfires thoroughly. Turn them over and douse them again. Prevent forest fires. Save America's timber reserves. And here we are back on happy though married. So far we've found that this month's ideal couple, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Johnson, met at a party. She asked him for a dance. He proposed while lying on his stomach in the grass at a picnic that they faced their little differences with humor and compromise. Just a few more questions and we'll present them with a host of surprise gifts from our sponsor. For instance, how about vacations? Did you spend them together or separately? Well, uh, the first few we spent separately, but we've spent them together ever since. Why did you start out separately? I liked to fish, but Leola didn't. I learned to like fishing. How about that? She learned to like fishing? There was one corking good meal, my friend. So was, so was. It's not a stand. Anything new? Well, he asked. Look, I've known you for a hundred years. I can read your moods like a book. You've been gathering wool all through lunch. What's up? Nothing. Leola? Does she find out we're still having lunch together? Yeah. Look, Stan, don't let her get you down. We can just as easily skip these lunches.  You're forgetting our annual two-week quest for those beautiful mountain trout is only a month away. What's the matter? Leola wants to go along. Oh? She said she hated to be away from me. She said she realized I needed a rest, but she thought it was selfish of me to go away alone when she doesn't get any time off with any of her friends. What with the boy and everything? And what kind of surprised me? Well, you know, she doesn't really like the great-out-of-doors that she calls in. And it's real sweet of her to want to go along with us when she doesn't really like it that much. With you? What? Go along with you. She knows I won't go if she goes. Why do you say that? That's not true. She said what a good time the three of us would have. She didn't mean it. She wants you 52 weeks out of the year. She certainly doesn't want to give you up for two weeks to me and some fish. She's gonna hone in on that, too. So she'll take everything you have that's you and the story. Howie, that's enough.  Can't you see it's true? I said that's enough. Now, cut it out. You've no reason to talk about her like that. She's my wife. Cut it out. I'm sorry, Stan. That's all right. Don't talk about it anymore. No, really. You're quite right. I had no reason to speak that way. I'm sorry. Talk as if I were unhappy. How do I tell you I'm not unhappy? Okay, Stan, let's forget I mentioned it, huh? Those fishing trips were fun. They were, my friend. They were. Maybe next year.  Just like that, she says, I learned to like fishing. Oh, no wonder you're an ideal couple. Well, we're getting close to those pay-off gifts from our sponsors. But first, let me ask you about your family. How many children? Just one. A boy or a girl? A boy, Douglas. And judging from the gleam in your eye, Mrs. Johnson, he's Mama's pet? He's a wonderful boy. Mr. Johnson, does Douglas favor you or his mother? Well, there, the boy was really lucky. Why? Well, he looks like me and acts like his mother. After a thorough review of the case of the people versus Douglas Johnson, in which the defendant has been found guilty as accused, the court passes the following sentence. The theft of $250 represents a major crime. But in the opinion of the court, since this is the defendant's first offense and the money has been returned, society's demand for punishment in this case might only make a hardened criminal out of a sensitive, restless boy. Therefore, the court sentences you, Douglas Johnson, to two years in prison, sent and suspended. You are hereby placed in the custody of your parents for the duration of said sentence. Court dismissed. Oh, Doug. Doug, my baby. I'm glad you're free, son. I can't say that I'm happy about the whole thing, but maybe it's taught you a lesson. Lesson indeed. Doug would never have taken that $250 if you'd given him a little more spending money. No boy of 18 needs more than what I... I know, I know, I know. Then there's the line. When I was a boy, I only got $1 a week. Well, your folks were poor. We're not. Do you insist on raising Doug like he belonged to a family of paupers? I know, my boy, he's not a common thief. If you'd only give him a decent allowance. I can only say, Mr. Johnson, that if your son is as handsome as you and as charming as his mother, he must be quite a boy. Well, as our ideal couple, you've enjoyed a rich, full life together. Now what about the future? Mrs. Johnson, what are your plans? I think I'll start spending a little of that money. We've worked so hard to save. Stacking you hats every day. How about you, Mr. Johnson? What do you want to do with the future? Well, now that I'm 55, I think I've finally acquired the wisdom to start living like a kid of 25. Man, for the 25 years we've been sneaking lunches in this back alley greasy spoon. I've always wound up by saying that was a carking good meal. Or words of that general effect. Today I can't honestly say that. Why not, Howie? I thought the steak was pretty good. A meal is more than food, Stan. It's an occasion for comradeship. Conviviality in general, good cheer. You, my lifelong crony, have been anything but the ideal companion for such an event. I'm sorry. There you sit, a retired businessman. You've achieved a goal that few men ever reach. You should be bursting with pride and happiness. I know. I just seem to have lost interest in things. Lost interest in things. Stan, my boy, you've lost more than that. You've lost your life. They've squashed you down to a size of a worm. Who? Don't be evasive. Your wife, Leola, your son Doug, that's who. Between the two of them, they've knocked the stuffings out of a wonderful guy and left you. Whatever it is that you've become.  Okay. No.  You're right. I'm sorry. But it stings to hear someone put into words the secret thoughts with which you've lived intimately for years. I'm 55. I have money, position, a wife, and a son. And I'm terribly unhappy because none of it gives me pleasure. Stan, you're only 55. And why don't you do something about it? What can I do to change it now? You've even lost the power to hope. How does a man get that way? What makes you play act at being the ideal husband for so long? You haven't loved Leola for years, have you? Have you? No. Not for years. All right, then why do you stick? I don't know. First it was Doug, I guess. Then it was a sense of duty. Lately, habit. Habits can be broken, you know. How? Well, to start with, why don't you join me in my life's big moment?  Love to have you along. I leave next Friday night? I couldn't. Stan, do I have to start painting the dreary picture of your future if you don't make the break? No, no. I'm fully aware of those horrors. A trip around the world would be fun, all right. Would make up for all those fishing trips we never had. When are you leaving? Next Friday night. All right, I'll go. Good, that's just fine, Stan. I promise Leola I'd go to a radio broadcast with her on Friday afternoon. She wrote a letter or something, I don't know. Then we'll leave Friday night. Friday night? Then you'll be free of it, Stan, on Friday night. And I'll bet at 55, Mr. Johnson, you'll put to shame any squirt of 25. Well, there they are, ladies and gentlemen, the Johnson's.
