Led by 10-year-old Ryder, the plucky pups of PAW Patrol are rescue dogs in training. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job like fire fighter, police officer, and construction worker. When trouble strikes Adventure Bay, they're there to save the day! Whether it's a cat in a tree or a train off the tracks, they always find a way to help those in need.
For kids, PAW Patrol is a fun way to learn bravery and heroism, with exciting stories that never get too scary. Ryder and the pups also teach lessons about caring for animals, a message that is reinforced through PAW Patrol's reallife partnership with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
If your kids like PAW Patrol, be sure to "Like" our official Facebook page for updates on new episodes, activities, recipes and more!
Using his police truck and megaphone, this German Shepherd is an athletic natural leader who likes to take charge. Chase may be on the case, but he has to watch out for cats and feathers because he's allergic.
From the firehouse to his fire truck, Marshall is a Dalmatian who is all action, easily excited, and the clumsy one of the group. The pups will always hear Marshall say, "I'm okay!"
Rocky is a mix-breed pup that always has handy resources. He's an enthusiastic recycling dog with a thousand ideas and tools inside of his pup pack.
Rubble is a gruff but a loveable English bulldog that knows all about skateboards and snowboards. He loves to get dirty then jump into a bath. There's no job Rubble's construction digger can't scoop up!
Ryder is the leader, rescuer, and teacher of the Pups. He has heart, a can-do-spirit and the skills PAW Patrol needs to get the job done! During rescues you can catch Ryder on his hi-tech jet ski that transforms into an ATV and a snowmobile.
Skye is a fearless and smart Cockapoo who loves to fly in her helicopter or with the wings in her pup pack. She tries everything with a backflip, grace, and a smile.
Zuma is all about the water! This Chocolate Labrador loves to laugh and surf. He lives in his boathouse and dives into action in his hovercraft.

Might have to take a look at this myself...
Real Time Kernel
Pre installed, custom Real Time Linux kernel is included in AP-Linux distribution. Audio processing, with specially designed and compiled RT kernel, is the first priority of the distribution. Only the digital music playback is considered as the main process.
Learn More Bit Perfect Audio
The transport and the processing of the sound is essential. The music that comes from your source files (flac, wav, etc…) can now travel with greater speed and efficiency to your sound card. Often with latencies lower than 10ms.
Learn More It's Easy To Use
Make your PC ultimate music player. It's easy. It's not complicated. It's like running ordinary desktop machine Linux, Mac or Windows that you are using every day. But now on stereoids underneath for music perfection.
Audiophile Linux is operating system created for quality audio reproduction. It's created by audiophiles for audiophiles, and it's absolutely free. It plays perfect right after the installation with latency less than 10ms.
Just install it like any other GNU/Linux distribution and enjoy the music. Audiophile Linux comes with everything you need for playing your audio and video files.
Audiophile Linux comes with:
System and memory optimized for audio perfection
Custom Real-Time kernel version 2.6.10
Lightweight window manager
Pre installed audio and video programs
Lightweight OS, unnecessary daemons and services are removed
Standard Linux distributions are designed for running servers or for desktop usage. This distribution is designed only for quality audio. So we have removed unnecessary services and daemons that comes with standard Linux, because they have effect on audio quality. For example, in standard Linux distributions you have printing and some other network services running in background. These services use your CPU and memory, and they are not necessary for audio reproduction. You don't need printing drivers and services for playing music. Because of that, we have removed all unnecessary software from this distribution that can degrade audio.
This distribution comes with lightweight XFCE desktop environment and highly configurable and low resource X11 window manager called Fluxbox. XFCE is easier to use, but Fluxbox is more faster, lighter and less resource demanding. It's my choice for more than seven years now.

As part of Miami-Dade County Schools' massive digital transformation project, Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho announced Thursday a rollout of 100,000 HP and Lenovo Windows 8 devices by August. Beginning this spring, 13,000 elementary school students, along with 15,000 7th grade civics students and 9th grade world history students will get devices. Additionally, more than 10,000 interactive boards will be added to classrooms across the district.
Microsoft Corp. will provide Office 365 for all district students to use. Microsoft will also provide Skydrive, a cloud-based information storage system, as well as technical services that ensure the district's educational materials will run properly on wireless devices. Students will have a single sign-on that will allow them to access their device, the network and applications all with one login.
"Technology, by itself, is not going to close the achievement gap between the rich and the poor, a gap that threatens so many of our minority students," said Carvalho, during a Microsoft YouthSpark Connection panel in Miami, where the digital divide was discussed. "But when technology is used correctly, we have seen powerful results in our very own technology-rich iPrep Academies, for example, with better test scores and increased employment opportunities."

Hello and welcome to Visioncon's Organizational web site. In 1990 The Visionnary Guild founded "Visionnary Guild Game Day." In 1991 that became "VisionQuest." In 1992 they changed the name for the last time to VISIONCON. Since 1992, Springfield, Missouri has been the host of Visioncon. An event that has celebrated the pop-culture genres of Science Fiction & Fantasy, while charming guests with a little mid-western hospitality. This site has been put together to help people gain a better understanding of who we are, what we do, and (we hope) why we do what we do. You will find many things here, including pictures taken from previous years. We've also added a directory of pdf versions of the convention books available from previous VISIONCONs, so if you missed a year or just misplaced yours take a look.
"Our goal is to celebrate the genres of Science Fiction & Fantasy in all it's forms while bringing an understanding and appreciation of those whose creative expression has enriched the lives of all who have enjoyed their work."
If you like our new fancy site logo, here's a link to the website of the guy that created it. He's also our new staff photographer and he hosts all the "official" pictures from 2010 and 2011.

Stroll along Riva degli Schiavoni, the city's paved promenade, and then pass the Bridge of Sighs that connects a prison to Doge's Palace. Hear tales of the doges who once ruled Venice from the imposing building as you amble into St Mark's Square.
Following your guide, weave around the throngs of street musicians, visitors, locals and pigeons who converge on the square, and stop for photos in front of its many monuments. Strike a pose by St Mark's Basilica with its beautiful Byzantine façade, and gaze up at its bell tower with its distinctive green-and-gold peak. See Libreria Sansoviniana (the city library) and the clock tower, and then wander across to Rialto Bridge. Continue alongside the Grand Canal, and admire the elegant architecture of the grand mansions that line its banks.
In addition to Venice's big-name sights, your walking tour also takes in some city gems that many visitors miss. Discover the calli, a labyrinthine web of narrow Venetian streets and canals, and learn about life in the city as a local.
After a break for lunch (own expense), visit a glass-making workshop near St Mark's Square to see a skilled craftsperson creating glass vases. Browse the wares in the onsite shop after watching the demonstration and perhaps shop for well-crafted souvenirs to take home.
Last, but not least, why not finish your day in Venice with an optional 30-minute gondola ride around the Venetian lagoon? The ride by flat-bottomed gondola is considered a must-do Venice experience, and takes in several atmospheric side canals as well as a stretch of the Grand Canal. Alternatively, use the time to wander around the Venice streets at leisure.
Return to your coach at the prearranged time, and travel back to the start point in Milan where your tour finishes.

Somehow my wife always pulls it off: Thanksgiving is hands-down the best meal of the year—great food with family, without the stress of gift-giving. It's all about being together to share a great meal.
Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetable casseroles, pies, ice cream—the hot dishes all come out hot and tasting great. Everybody who shows up leaves with leftovers and all that turkey keeps me sleepy for a week.
But before the miracle of the meal comes the shopping. And there are many choices, not only the big supermarket chains, but smaller grocers and specialty shops with their own strengths. Who sells the best meat? The freshest veggies? The best deals for dessert? Maybe you've got a Thanksgiving recipe with a hard-to-find ingredient.
Where do you love to shop? We'd like you to share your Thanksgiving market expertise with other Patch readers. Leave a comment below, or add a review on one of these business listings:

Breast Implant Revision
What is a Breast Revision procedure?
Breast revision is a procedure that is performed by breast revision specialists most often to correct complications, such as capsular contracture, arising from previously inserted Breast Implants. San Francisco and Marin County women often experience capsular contracture, which indicates breasts that have shifted, hardened or changed shape following implant surgery. Not only does breast revision in address any aesthetic issues having to do with breast implants, but it also offers solutions for patients who would simply like their implants removed or replaced with new ones for the purpose of changing or enhancing their appearance.
Best Candidates for Breast Revision
Candidates for breast revision should have records indicating their previous breast implant history so that the Breast Revision Specialists at PSS will know what kind of implants were used and how long ago. As with other patients desiring surgery, they will also want to discuss their medical history generally to be sure they are healthy enough for Breast Revision surgery.
Breast Revision Procedure
Breast Implant Revision is a highly individualized procedure. If enough time has passed and pregnancy, weight gain or loss, aging or other issues have caused breasts to sag in addition to the patient's implant concerns, the patient may want to have a Breast Lift at the same time. If the implant position has shifted, internal sutures may be needed as part of Breast Implant Revision to correct the shift. Because of the number of variables effecting Breast Implant Revision, it is not possible to determine how many incisions will be needed until the patient consults with the Breast Revision specialists at PSS. For surgeries addressing capsular contraction, it may be possible to work in the area of the original incision scar. More complicated Breast Implant Revision surgeries may require incisions around the areola and/or vertically from under the areola and following the curve of the breast.
Post Breast Revision Procedure
During a Breast Implant Revision in our state-of-the-art Marine County surgery center, we use either local or general anesthesia to coincide with the complexity of the problems to be addressed. Likewise, the time each Breast Revision surgery takes depends on the nature of the problem. If a Breast Lift will be included, the Breast Revision may take three to four hours. If implants are being changed or removed, it should take less. Your Breast Revision specialists will be able to provide a more accurate timetable once they have assessed your specific needs. It generally takes a week to ten days to be able to return to normal activities following Breast Revision, although it will take longer before lifting and more strenuous activity can be resumed.
Visitors who searched for Breast Revision Surgery may also want to search for Breast Lift located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

- What is breast revision surgery?
Initial surgery, especially with implants does not always yield an optimal result. Capsular contracture, implant malposition, or asymmetries may cause an unsatisfactory result. In the vast majority of cases. These problems can be corrected often with a simpler surgery than the original. Capsulectomy is surgery to remove the scar tissue, which may have formed around an implant. Capsulorrhaphy is placement of stitches inside the implant pocket to change the breast shape. Change of the implant may or may not be required.

Longevity: Make It For Better, Not Worse
Longevity gains are changing people's outlooks on planning and income needs, but more must be done.
Older Americans are paying attention to the steady stream of research findings and stories about impressive gains in longevity.
In particular, we have a pretty accurate view of the increases achieved in average life spans, according to the sixth biennial study of longevity sponsored by the Society of Actuaries (SOA).
Ask Americans age 65 and older how much longer they expect to live, and you're likely to get a fairly accurate response, the SOA reports. "By age 65, U.S. males in average health have a 40 percent chance of living to age 85 and females more than a 50 percent chance," the report says, and "the survivor of a 65-year-old couple is more than 70 percent likely to reach 85."
There also are encouraging signs that this recognition is leading to changes in financial planning and preparation for a longer retirement. In particular, greater attention is being paid to the age at which people begin to collect Social Security.
The program's early-retirement benefits can begin at age 62, but rise by about 8 percent a year for each year benefits are delayed until age 70. As people have become more confident that they will live to older ages, the appeal of delaying Social Security is on the rise.
But if we "get it" about longevity, the SOA warns, we still have a very sketchy understanding of longevity risks, a catch-all term that encompasses concerns about amassing enough money for retirement and then producing sufficient annual income payments so that we do not outlive our assets. "Many fail to understand the potential consequences of living beyond their own planned life expectancy," the report says. "Many people are not focused on risk management, and making assets last for the rest of their lives is not their highest priority."
In thinking about the implications of longevity, three strong themes emerge from the SOA's research and public polling:
1. Beware of the averages. By definition, our collective life spans represent an accurate figure on average longevity. But individual life spans differ greatly from these averages. "When people are told they will live to an age such as 80 or 85, they don't realize this means there is a 50 percent chance they could live longer than that age," the report says. People with lots of education and financial resources are likely to live much longer than average.
Likewise, Americans with little money or schooling are likely to live shorter lives, a fact that is often overlooked in proposals to increase the Social Security retirement age. The nation's longevity gap is distressingly large, the SOA report notes. "In the poorest part of the United States, life expectancy at birth is as low as in countries like Panama or Pakistan, a full 15 years behind the wealthiest and healthiest regions of the nation, where it rivals that of world leaders, Switzerland and Japan."
2. Understand your health risks. Lifestyle choices dominate longevity gains until we reach old age, the SOA says, at which point genetics is the greatest driver of remaining life spans. Beyond influencing how long we live, the ways we take care of ourselves can also determine the quality of our lives as we age as well as the financial burden of older-age health expenses.
Women face more serious older-age health issues than men, in part because they live longer. "One actuarial research study predicts that for a healthy male age 65, 80 percent of his remaining lifetime will be spent non-disabled, 10 percent in mild to moderate disability, and another 10 percent in severe disability," the report says. "For females, the corresponding disability percentages are considerably higher, with 70 percent in healthy status and approximately 15 percent in each of the two stages of disability."
Again, these are averages. Individual outcomes can be dramatically influenced by our behavior. The report's polling of older Americans found that nearly half of those surveyed said their health and lifestyle decisions were major factors in their personal longevity expectations. "The message is beginning to be heard and heeded," the report says.
3. Anticipate cognitive decline. Even normal aging brings reduced mental abilities, making it harder to understand money matters, make sound financial decisions, and protect yourself from financial fraud.
For the considerable population that will have some degree of dementia, the problem can be much worse. Research cited in the SOA report suggests that a household's prime financial decision-maker hangs onto this role for too long. By the time the household recognizes the problem, it may be too late to avoid serious money problems that could have been avoided. Consider involving younger family members in financial planning and decisions. Even if they initially serve only as a back-up to your own financial planning and management efforts, their advice can be helpful. And they will be likely to see signs of cognitive decline before you do, and will already have the knowledge about your finances to step in quickly and provide help.

Column: Calling on the first line to find its touch again
WILMINGTON, Mass. – Even though the Bruins' game in Philadelphia Wednesday night might mean more to David Krejci than many of the rest of his teammates who also suffered that historic defeat to the Flyers last spring, he knows he has to channel his energies when he hits the ice on Broad Street.
Until Marc Savard comes back, Krejci will continue to be Boston's No. 1 center. They need him to be the type of player he was during the season's first 11 games, when he used his guile and ice vision to be nearly a point-per-game performer and heat up wingers Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton to feverish levels.
If Krejci lets the Flyers, or the arena, get him too amped up, he won't be much help to the Bruins in their rematch of last year's Eastern Conference semifinal series, which ended with the Flyers becoming just the third team in NHL history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit.
"I don't want to do anything stupid that'll cost my team a penalty or a goal or anything," said Krejci, whose extra incentive could come from the Mike Richards hit that ended the Boston center's season with a dislocated wrist in Game 3 of that series. "The best thing to get back at them is to get the two points and go home. That's what I'm going to try to do and I don't think it's going to be a special game for me because I got hurt my last game of the year. But for my teammates too, they beat us four in a row so we all want our revenge, we all want to get back at them and hopefully we can get the two points tomorrow."
Since Krejci's return from the concussion he suffered Nov. 6 of this season, he has skated in four games (missing Boston's last outing with the flu) and posted just two assists (both in the same game) while Lucic and Horton have combined for one point (a Lucic assist). Instead of a top line, they've formed an invisible line.
Expectedly, the Bruins compiled just a 1-2-1 record in those contests and are 1-3-1 in their last five heading into Philly.
"It [hasn't been] the same, but there's ups and downs," said Krejci, who after missing a couple days with the flu has now practiced two days in a row. "And when you're up, you don't think that there can be anything bad. So one game back, it happens. And second and third, you know you realize that something's not right. … So we're going to get a chance tomorrow to play together again. We want to do better. So hopefully we'll do better and we'll help the team to get some goals."
Krejci posted 2-8-10 during those magical first 11 games of the regular season. Boston was 7-3-1 and seemed able to rely on nightly production from their top line despite the injury absence of Savard. Now it feels like they have to just tread water until Savard's upcoming return.
It doesn't have to be that way. The Lucic-Krejci-Horton could use the sight of the Flyers as motivation to reenact the celebrations of the season's first month. An injury absence can knock off the timing not just of a player, but his entire line – and Krejci in particular has looked out of sorts. However, he isn't shying away from the criticism of his recent play.
"I shouldn't make any excuses. Maybe the first two games, they weren't the games that I like to play. But something's happen when you don't play. It happens. I don't want to make any excuses, so now it's two weeks behind me, so nothing should stop me from doing my best."
Sometimes the line's center, especially someone with the talents and pedigree of Krejci, gets burdened with undo blame when a line isn't clicking. Horton continues to deal with an allergy to shooting and hasn't been much of a physical presence. Lucic knows he has to pull his weight more as well. The bulky left winger Boston counts on to provide punch with the body and the stick admitted today he has been a shadow of himself the last five games, and that means he's not working hard enough.
"It shouldn't be an excuse. It's been a heavy schedule this last month – a lot of games thrown at us. But I think as an athlete you've got to do whatever you can to get your rest, get your nutrition," he said. "And for myself, that's what I'm trying to right now – get myself that rest and get myself pumped up, jacked up to go into every game because when I do that that's when I'm at my best."

Lady Busters cruise, but not 'sharp' in win over Pratt
Lady Busters cruise, but not 'sharp' in win over Pratt
Lady Busters cruise, but not 'sharp' in win over Pratt
By ADAM HOLT
PRATT — Since beating No. 1 Hutchinson a week ago, results have been mixed for the Garden City Community College women's basketball team.
Yes, the Lady Broncbusters have won their three games since that upset, the latest a somewhat sloppy 65-49 takedown of the Pratt Lady Beavers on Wednesday. But things haven't been easy, considering those three wins came against teams that are now a combined 33-46 and 6-31 in Jayhawk West play.
"Since Hutch, we just haven't played very focused," GCCC head coach Alaura Sharp said.
Garden City (24-3, 10-3 KJCCC) popped back into the rankings at No. 16 on Wednesday, but didn't look the part at times against Pratt (15-11, 4-8).
After taking a 22-9 lead with just less than seven minutes to play in the first, the Busters managed just four points and turned it over six times in the final 6 minutes, 51 seconds of the half.
During that stretch, GCCC made some poor decisions with the ball and telegraphed a few passes that were picked off, allowing Pratt to finish the first on a 10-4 run, making it 26-19 at the half.
"We just weren't focused," guard Tahlia Pope said. "We were trying to rush because they were rushing us, so we were trying to pass the ball, make too many things happen, instead of being patient, executing our game plan."
When they were on, though, the Busters looked good. Pope had a game-high 19 points, and Tamara Jones added her fourth straight double-double, with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
Garden City jumped out in the second half to a 41-24 lead, but Pratt cut it down to 11 with less than five minutes to go, as neither team could find much of a rhythm on offense or defense. Pratt had some success hurrying Garden City into turnovers, but couldn't do too much with them. The Beavers shot just 25.4 percent from the field, which allowed Garden City to keep the lead around 10 points, although it never felt quite that comfortable.
"Kind of a game that we never really got in flow, really on either end of the floor," Sharp said. "I thought Pratt did a good job of trying to get us sped up and pressuring the basketball."
Garden City was able to finish the game out at the free throw line, going 10-of-14 over the final two minutes. And as it was the previous two games, it was Pope hitting most of them, going 5-of-6 in that span.
Pope had a season-high 21 against Barton on Saturday, and followed up with 15 against Colby on Monday, and this easily marks her best three-game stretch of the season.
"I'm feeling more confident," Pope said. "I'm starting to not think as much. I'm a thinker, so when I think too much, that's when I play bad. So I'm just trying to let it come to me."
Allegria Chisom added 10 points for the Busters, who saw all eight players score. GCCC shot 46 percent as a team.
Maddie Pendry and Hayli Jo Smith had 12 points apiece to lead Pratt, but were a combined 7-of-28 from the field.
Garden City hosts Cloud County (19-7, 9-3) at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in a game that could be pivotal in the race for second place in the division.
Garden City (65) — Jacobs 3-10 1-2 7, Green 1-2 0-2 3, Pope 5-11 9-12 19, Chisom 4-6 2-2 10, Chinn 0-1 2-2 2, Maxwell 2-4 1-2 5, Jones 7-14 2-2 17, Young 1-2 0-0 2. Totals 23-50 17-24 65.
Pratt (49) — Grant 5-12 2-2 12, Pendry 2-14 2-4 6, Smith 5-14 2-4 12, Strobel 1-5 0-0 2, Broadwater 1-11 6-10 8, Parks 2-5 3-4 8, Stein 0-2 1-1 1.
Halftime--Garden City 26-19. 3-point goals--Garden City 2-6 (Green 1-2, Jones 1-2, Jacobs 0-1, Chisom 0-1), Pratt 1-10 (Parks 1-1, Smith 0-4, Pendry 0-5). Fouled out--Garden City (Maxwell), Pratt (Grant). Rebounds--Garden City 42 (Jones 12), Pratt 41 (Smith 6, Parks 6). Assists--Garden City 12 (Jacobs 4), Pratt 0. Turnovers--Garden City 13, Pratt 13. Total fouls--Garden City 21, Pratt 18.

Petersburg City School District, along with Kenai Borough Peninsula Elementary Schools are the first two Alaskan School Districts to receive national recognition for supporting the health of children and communities through the Healthier US School Challenge.
As part of their efforts in this challenge, the districts feature healthy items on their school menus and emphasize physical education and activity.
"Kenai had four elementary schools to meet this challenge," Petersburg City Schools Superintendent Rob Thomason said. "But Petersburg was recognized district-wide."
The districts will receive a monetary incentive for reaching the bronze level at $500 per school certified, a plaque from the United States Department of Agriculture, a banner to display at each school and the school name listed on the USDA Team Nutrition website.
The Healthier US School Challenge is a voluntary national certification initiative, sponsored by the USDA, for schools participating in the National School Lunch Program.
"We are trying to introduce a lot more homemade stuff using whole grain flour which is a new component of the USDA guidelines," Petersburg City Schools Food Services Director Carlee Wells said. "We are also introducing more fresh fruits and vegetables so that kids can really understand where their foods come from."
Wells also explained that it is really good to get this recognition of what the schools are doing so the community understands that the school system is working to make changes.
"We are working to make healthier children and trying to teach them better lifestyle choices," Wells said. "The Healthier US School Challenge takes physical activity and nutrition and brings it all together so that kids have a good foundation to grow on."
The Petersburg School District also has a school and community garden where students and staff grow the produce that is now used in the school lunches. Wells and her co-workers prepare and serve the meals with a pretty limited amount of equipment.
"We only have two ovens right now," Wells stated. "We have just purchased a steam kettle, but it isn't up and running yet."
Alaska has been one of the few states with no schools in the Healthier US School Challenge but now Petersburg is the only school in the state with a whole district that has been recognized for its efforts.

ConVirt: the New Tool in Your Virtual Toolbox
Provisioning from CD is nice for custom machines or one-off builds, but if you have to spin up multiple guests at once, it is a very inefficient method. It is much more efficient to create a single VM and clone it over and over again, which is possible in ConVirt. To demonstrate this method of provisioning, I created a pristine (or "golden") image of a Windows XP machine. This VM contains all of the settings and software needed so that I don't need to make changes to each new VM that is spun up. After the golden image is ready, power it down in the hypervisor or ConVirt, and copy the guest's .xm file to a separate location. In my case, I copied it to an NFS share mounted on the ConVirt and all of my managed servers. You then need to gzip your .xm image in its new location to give it a .gz extension. Next, copy the Windows CD template by right-clicking it in the templates section and clicking on the Create Like option.
You could create a template from scratch, but copying and modifying a built-in one is just as quick. If you have very custom settings that differ greatly from those found in the pre-built templates, that may be the way to go.
When prompted, give your template a new name. Once the new template appears in the list, right-click on it and select the Edit Settings option. Click on the Storage option and remove the existing storage defined for hda. Click on the New button at the top of the window. On the resulting window, set the Option field to Clone Reference Disk. Change the Ref. Disk Type to Disk Image and the Ref. Format to .gzip. In the Ref Loc. field, browse or enter the path to your .iso file. Change the VM Device: field to "hda". Your settings should resemble those shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Provisioning Settings to Clone the Golden Image
To deploy a new cloned VM from this template, right-click it and select Provision. With the reference disk method, ConVirt will copy the .gz file to its destination and expand it to the desired size of the new VM. What is really nice is that you can specify a larger disk size than the one inside your golden image. On my XP VMs, the space automatically was added to the guest partition (not usually an easy task). It is a common best practice to keep your golden image as small as possible to fit as many different size drives (virtual or physical) that you will deploy it to.
After your deployment is in place, you may find that you need to move guests to another host to balance loads between servers, to move a VM from one network site or segment to another or to perform maintenance on a host with zero downtime to running guests. VMware dominated the market for years with its vMotion feature that performs this task well. ConVirt provides this same operation.

Maybe someone should finally tell linux developers that there is something that is called an application. You know it has a gui, it actually is doing something and so on. You know the software - not the webpages or yet another simple whatever crap all fanboys are excited about even they can't use it as it have no functionality.

Why the hell are you using windows on a linux journal?

Nice to see some
Nice to see some centralization for kvm and virt-manager, but a CMS with root access to my hosts and by extension guests.. pass.
However, big +1 for being open source. Won't be long before we see the host scripts adding specific user for the CMS and adding ACLs, or at the very least using keypairs.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

By KEVIN HARRIS
Jeffersonville senior guard Darryl Baker has already produced a season's worth of highlights during the 2012-13 season.
On Saturday night at the Larkin Center, Baker added another highlight to his collection.
Shortly after Providence senior George Knott hit a game-tying 3-pointer, Baker answered with a dramatic game-winning 3 at the final buzzer to give the Red Devils a 59-56 victory.
"Who else would you want to get the ball?" Jeff coach Chad Gilbert asked following Baker's heroics.
After Keenan Williams put the Red Devils (11-2) up 56-53 with 20 seconds left in regulation by making 1-of-2 free throws, Knott got the ball near the top of the key and nailed a 3 with less than 10 seconds left to tie the game at 56.
"He's not really a 3-point shooter. We're kind of fortunate that went down," Providence coach Lou Lefevre admitted. "When a great team gets something fortunate like that, you make sure you cash in on it. It was a great shot, but not so great transition defense."
On Jeff's ensuing possession, Baker got the ball at the top of the key and hit nothing but net at the horn.
Baker said he did not want to duplicate what happened in the junior varsity game, which went to triple overtime.
"I just wanted to score and get the last-second shot off," Baker said. "I didn't want to go to three overtimes like our JV did, so I just went down and hit the shot."
Lefevre said his team's lack of execution on the defensive end on Baker's game-clinching trifecta was the difference.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say I didn't think it was going to happen," Lefevre said. "You wish you had a chance to remind your team who we were looking to take it. We kind of treated him like any other player and that's not the way you can treat him."
The Class 2A No. 4 Pioneers took a 27-18 lead near the midway point of the second quarter, but Jeff sliced its deficit to one with an 8-0 run with Baker scoring all eight points. He hit a pair of free throws, followed by knocking down back-to-back 3's.
Providence senior Dalton Duley capped the first-half scoring with a 3 of his own and the Pioneers led 30-26 at halftime.
Jeff came out on fire in the third quarter, outscoring Providence in the stanza 14-9 to take a 40-39 advantage. Baker tallied 10 of the Red Devils' 14 points in the period. A Williams layup put Jeff up 51-44 with less than three minutes in regulation.
The Pioneers (10-1) refused to go away.
They went on a 7-1 spurt to pull within one at 52-51. Duley capped off the run with a 3 at the 1:08 mark in the fourth quarter.
Williams responded with a 3-point play with 43 seconds remaining to give Jeff a 55-51 lead. Knott got Providence to within 55-53 after tipping in a missed 3 by Duley with 21 ticks left.
"They make you pay for your mistakes," Gilbert said of Providence. "They offensive rebound extremely well and they put us in a bind by manhandling us on rebounds. But the kids stepped up in the second half and answered the call."
Baker was the only Red Devil to score in double figures with a game-high 31 points. He had a solid all-around night shooting the basketball. Baker connected on 11 of his 18 field-goal attempts, shot 4-of-5 from the free throw line and knocked down 5-of-8 3-pointers.
Baker's performance left Lefevre frustrated afterwards.
"Baker is about as good of a high school player as I've ever seen," Lefevre said. "But that doesn't mean you can't stop him. Somebody or some team in this country can stop him better than we tried to stopped him tonight. That's not OK that he scores every time. You have to do a little more. You have to be more aware. Maybe we have to have a better game plan — I don't know.
"In my mind, it's not OK to just play well. We couldn't stop him — we have to stop him. If we're going to advance in the playoffs, we're going to have to beat good teams like this. It was a good game for the fans, but we've got to look at what more we could have done."
Jeff junior Drew Ellis scored nine points, while Williams had eight.
Knott wound up with a career-high 28 points, scoring 13 in the first quarter. For the game, Knott made 12 of his 17 shot attempts and was 3-of-4 from the stripe. Knott and teammate Ryan Pickerrell each grabbed a game-high six rebounds. Providence guard Nano Grantz distributed a game-high 10 assists with six coming in the first half.
Duley had 16 points, shooting 6-of-12 from the field and 4-of-7 from 3-point range.
"Dalton is a terrific 3-point shooter," Lefevre said. "He's going to make a lot of those. We played pretty good offense for the most part."
The Red Devils will have a critical Hoosier Hills Conference game next Friday when they travel to Columbus East.
Providence will travel to Crawford County on Tuesday.

I am writing this from the lovely Hynes Convention Center in downtown Boston. I'm here attending the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science conference, which means I'm in the company of thousands of very smart people talking about the thing they love most.
Of course, I'm referring to the awe and wonder of science, and how to communicate that awe and wonder to people who would not normally go to a conference like this. The sessions I've attended so far have been evenly divided between excited scientists explaining wondrous concepts, and science communicators trying to figure out new ways to get the word out.
I've gotten a lot out of both of these kinds of presentations. In the first one I attended, Chris Joyce of NPR said something that truly resonated with me: "There is no concept too complex for people to understand, there's just language that is too complex."
In a lot of ways, I'm the target audience for good science communication. I'm interested in these grand ideas, and the amazing ways we discover things about our universe, but equations leave me cold. I need simple yet powerful language to grasp these things. For instance, Mark Vagins of the Kavli Institute in Tokyo just told me that every element found in nature, every element of life, was initially formed in the heart of dead, exploding stars.
"We are made of stardust, all of us," he said. That's lovely.
I'm here to network with people and learn some things, but I'm also here to get inspired about science, and about communicating it. Fermilab has a lot of fascinating projects in the works, ones that make my eyes widen and my jaw drop. Already at this session I've heard a bunch of ideas that will help me talk about those projects, and hopefully make your eyes widen and your jaw drop.
We're always trying to think of new ideas here at Fermilab. Just this week, we put out two videos that show different sides of our lab. I told you about our 40-minute documentary last week, and it's been received very well — we're over 4,800 views, and stories keep coming out in the media.
On the flip side, we made our contribution to the Harlem Shake meme — a bunch of crazy Fermilab folks filmed this in our Remote Operations Center, where we analyze data coming off of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. (Those are CERN scientists dancing via video link on the laptop at the right.) This video's racking up the views, and while it's not necessarily communicating science, it's a gateway — it gets our name out there to people who may never have heard of Fermilab, or what we do.
We're trying to engage with our community, and while that definitely includes you, our neighbors, it also includes the world at large. It's easy to get bogged down in numbers and acronyms working in this field, but that's not the story we should be telling. It's more vast and more amazing than that. We're trying to come up with the big answers about how we all got here, why we exist, and what the universe is really made of. We're building huge machines to look at very small things, and figure out how everything came to be, and why.
See? Inspiring. Let's keep this conversation (and this excitement) going.

NORMAN — If the state Capitol were for sale, inspectors would be preparing a laundry list of "deferred maintenance" items to take care of before any closing could happen. It's the people's house so it's not for sale. It is, however, in need of a makeover.
The repairs may begin as late as this summer. Gov. Mary Fallin this week signed HB 1910, which forms a state board to oversee Capitol repairs. Even though record interest rates make this an ideal time to borrow and catch up on the work, lawmakers decided to do a pay-as-you-go plan.
Lawmakers for years have ignored the Capitol's maintenance and repairs. Workers deal with antiquated wiring and plumbing. Visitors, lawmakers and Capitol employees have been detoured after falling chunks of limestone posed a hazard to entrances and exits.
First up will be the crumbling limestone exterior facade. It has been estimated to cost about $8 million to fix, far short of the $200 million some lawmakers had said was needed to repair the entire building. The proposed budget included $60 million for state Capitol building repairs and another $30 million for a new maintenance fund.
A suggestion made early in the session was to sell some of the state's surplus buildings and property and use the proceeds to fund Capitol repairs. Many of those properties sit idle in Norman. We encourage lawmakers to follow through on that and use the money to fast-track repairs to the people's house.

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee says the panel plans to vote on Chuck Hagel's nomination to be defense secretary Tuesday afternoon.
Sen. Carl Levin said Monday in a statement that the panel will meet Tuesday afternoon and he intends to vote after committee discussion. The announcement by the Michigan Democrat comes despite Republican objections to moving forward on President Barack Obama's pick to succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
The committee had been expected to vote last Thursday.
This vote would come just hours before Obama's State of the Union address.
