Love this tote! I am forever searching for the right handbag. Usually go for cross body, so I surprised myself when I went for this tote. For me the color did it! LOVE this aqua color! Love the inside striped lining. I promised myself I would not weigh it down with a ton of stuff, which would fit nicely. Perfect size for my iPad, wallet and other essentials. Let's just see if I can control just how much I put in it! April 11, 2014
Beautiful Bag This is a beautiful bag. The leather is soft and the bag is roomy with pockets inside and on the outside. The bag is made in Italy and the quality is great. I bought two on sale. Very happy with my purchase. March 31, 2014
Mostly fine I am happy with this purchase except for one thing. The color 'coral' is a lot closer to red. March 30, 2014
Perfect shopper sized bag I love the size of this bag and the quality of the leather. I asked my husband what he thought of it and his reply was, "Nice, but it looks really expensive". I purchased it on sale and it's worth every penny. March 30, 2014
Michaela leather tote I bought this bag for it's size and cheerful color. Large totes are great for travel and this one works. March 14, 2014

Competitive Enterprise Institute | 1899 L ST NW Floor 12, Washington, DC 20036 | Phone: 202-331-1010 | Fax: 202-331-0640
RICHMOND, VA, February 1, 1999 – The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) today held a press conference with Virginians from around the Commonwealth concerned with the grave impact the proposed solid waste legislation would have on their communities.
"Unfortunately, poor, rural Virginians are the ones going to pay the highest price for lawmakers' short-sighted political posturing," said Angela Logomasini, Director of Risk and Environmental Policy for CEI.
Reverend Eddie Perry, from Charles City County expressed concern that his locality would not be able to continue making investments the community's future if the proposed wastes bills pass. "The educational opportunities that the children of Charles City County have now are a direct result of
the income that the we receive from the landfill. The investments we have made in our schools have made a difference in the lives of the members of my congregation and I don't think these things have been considered by the General Assembly."
Mary Jones, Sussex County Administrator believes the presence of the landfill has had a positive impact in her area as well. "The revenue from the landfill is nearly one-third of the total county budget. We have made important investments in infrastructure in Sussex from a new county government complex to improvements in our wastewater treatment plant."
Captain Robert Clinton, Director of Safety for the American Waterways Operators addressed the bills that propose to prohibit the transport of trash by barge a proposal which arbitrarily punishes waterway operators. "Barges are a safe and efficient means of transport not only for municipal solid waste, but also for a host of other cargo that already travel the waters of Virginia."
CEI, a non-profit, non-partisan public policy group founded in 1984, is dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government. For more information, contact Emily McGee, director of media relations, at 202-331-1010.

Product Information
Winchester Varmint High Energy ammunition was developed as a hard-hitting, high performing line of rimfire ammunition for varmint and predator hunters. Varmint HE ammunition delivers excellent terminal performance producing quick, humane kills. The revolutionary 17 Winchester Super Magnum is the fastest, most innovative rimfire cartridge ever developed. Based off of a 27 caliber power fastener blank, this cartridge produces centerfire velocities and energy in a more cost-efficient rimfire package. Hornady's V-Max Bullets feature a polymer tip which enhances accuracy and promotes devastating expansion. The tip raises the ballistic coefficient for faster velocity and also acts as a wedge, initiating bullet expansion. The flat base creates in-flight stability for long-range shooting. Hornady's swaging process creates precise formation of the core around the tip of the bullet, creating a build-up of energy which contributes to its phenomenal performance.

University historians are analyzing how Sullivan's resignation and reinstatement will impact the University down the line.
One historian says that only positive things can come from the past two weeks.
Alexander Gilliam has worked at the University since 1975 and says he's seen a sense of community among faculty, students, and alumni that he hasn't seen before.
He now sees an opportunity for the UVa community to address potential financial problems brought to light by the Board of Visitors.
"There is a real positive outlook around here right now. I think we can sustain that; at least I hope we can," said Gilliam.
The University archives is making a collection of many artifacts from the past two weeks including posters from the Lawn and news articles.
Gilliam says it will help future historians write about the events of the past two weeks.

41st Annual All-4-Fun Event
It's all about fun, right? Right! The Mile-Hi Jeep Club of Denver, Colorado, continues to host its exciting and challenging All-4-Fun event year after year. If this is the first time you've heard about the club's event, we have to tell you that we wouldn't miss it for the world. To keep All-4-Fun fresh and exciting, the club moves the event to a different part of the state each year. The week-long, 41st annual event took place in the small town of Salida in Chaffee County.
If you like Jeeps, Rocky Mountain scenery, challenging trails, easy trails, and a great time, then we are sure this is the event for you. There is a little something at All-4-Fun for everyone: First-timers and hardcore veteran crawlers are equally welcome. This event is really an awesome way to introduce yourself to some new four-wheeling friends and a great way to hit the trail with a friendly and very organized club.
Salida is an outdoorsman's paradise and sits in a picturesque valley about 100 miles west of Colorado Springs. The area surrounding this valley is called the "fourteener region." This is because there are more 14,000-foot mountains around Salida than anywhere else in the state. The views from any part of the valley are spectacular, but the views from the trails are even more astounding.
Mile-Hi Jeep Club members are experienced four-wheel enthusiasts and usually know the event locations and trails like the backs of their hands. After all, they've been hosting this event for the last 41 years. Most of these folks are locals, so as a bonus you usually get a guided historical tour of the area while you are out wheeling.
This year, the event had an incredible 398 Jeeps and 999 registered participants in attendance. All-4-Fun is also a great way to check out the different kinds of Jeeps and how they are built. You will always find the cool old low-dollar build, and you will even find some Jeeps put together with astronomical amounts of disposable income. We find it very interesting to just walk around and see who has what.
Not only is All-4-Fun a good time, it's also a good cause. Over the years, Mile-Hi has taken proceeds from the event and donated to the Denver Children's Hospital Burn Camp. To date, they have raised over $165,000 for a very commendable cause. The Denver hospital is one of the best children's hospitals in the country.
Each night after the trail runs, the club and its sponsors host excellent meals, provide a beer wagon, raffle off prizes, and have some form of entertainment. The raffle prizes alone are usually worth the drive to the event and always come from the industry's top manufacturers. The raffles are set up so just about everyone in attendance walks away with a prize.
If you're interested in attending the Mile-Hi Jeep Club's 2008 All-4-Fun or just want to check out the event's history, visit the club at www.mhjc.org.

and then this smaller one I saw on SAS Interiors.
Then I painted the whole thing white and cut the letters from vinyl and used the outline as a stencil. I used Georgia font, and each letter is 5.5 inches tall.
I painted in the letters with red and removed the vinyl. When everything was dry I ran my palm sander over everything to distress it a little.
Do you have any "JOY" art on display with your Christmas decorations?

Yeah there were a couple cheesy close ups I could do without.
Well.. I was curious about the movie but I always like to read the book first so I picked up Twilight last week... and now after totally ignoring all but the most basic duties of my life and burning through all four books.. I'm trying to pick up the pieces of my life.. the laundry is a mountain, the dishes are all dirty and the kids think I've become a book zombie. *sigh* It's a rough return to reality.
I'm right there with you on being obsessed with the books! But I'm trying VERY hard not to read them too fast. I love the anticipation of knowing I have more to read. I remember the night I got the last Harry Potter book and I just stood there with the book in my hands thinking that it would be the very LAST time I had a new HP book to read! What a feeling!!!
<snip> it was almost a relief to no longer feel the all-consuming need to read read read. A LOT of things went undone during the past week! .....
However, even though Edward is PERFECT in my mind *sigh* I don't care for the idea of "I love you so much that my life is meaningless without you and I will kill myself rather than live without you" mentality being presented so positively to that audience.
*Possible New Moon Spoilers*
Oh, I do have a question. You know how Bella could hear Edwards voice whenever she was doing something reckless? Well, I kept thinking the whole time that somehow Edward really was speaking to her, so when it got to the part where she almost kissed Jacob and she heard "Be Happy" I almost had a breakdown! I was so sad over that. But it was never addressed so I'm just assuming she was just hearing whatever it was she wanted to hear? Did anyone else think the same thing? I was sure that's what was going on.
Can't wait to read Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I also want to read her other book, "The Host", when I'm done with the series. I'm already kinda sad to think there are only two more books until it's over!

I am so sad. Since moving to Mesquite, NV,from Bremerton, we have made the spring training games an annual event. We were fortunate to be sitting directly underneath the sportscasters booths in Peoria and got both Dave's and Rick's autographs in 2008 and 2009. In 2009 we had purchased new seat cushions for sitting on however, I instead had both of them autographed. Hence they had never been used! One memory I have of him that I will never forget is his throwing out the first ball at Safeco on opening night.
Dave will sorely be missed. My prayers to his family for comfort and guidance while they absorb this loss and to the Mariner organization for the joy he gave each and every time he was on the air. He was a true Mariner ambassador. Rest in peace Dave!

Thanks for the tips! Don't believe in using Drano either or anything that is not natural.
You notice the water level in your sink isn't going down. If it is, it's descending at a snail pace. Rather than reaching under the sink for a bottle of Drano, try these tips to ensure a happy sink and ultimately, a happy YOU.
1. Identify what's causing the clog. If you think the likely verdict is hair, you can simply get a drain stick with barbs in it to retrieve all the hair. If it's something else, it will be extremely useful to identify it to take a different plan of attack.
2. Stock up on a few simple tools. Purchase the aforementioned drain stick, barbed and smooth. A small wet/dry vacuum is nice to have in the kitchen closet and of course the plunger.
3. Try to use natural ingredients-based solutions rather than harsh chemical products. A strong vinegar-lemon solution can do the trick for some basic clogs that have things stuck to the side.
4. Take apart the pipes and clean them out with a toothbrush or some sort of scrubbing pad. WARNING: Make sure you know what you're doing before dismantling the plumbing.
5. The best thing you can do to clean your drains is by preventing the clogs from the beginning. You can run a natural solution down the drain on a bi-weekly basis. You can purchase a strainer to prevent hair from entering the drain.
If you have any other suggestions or tips to add please chime in!
Thanks for the tips! Don't believe in using Drano either or anything that is not natural.
and when NONE of those "tricks" work, do what you should have in the beginning and call the plumber. FEW stoppages are close enough to eliminate with a "stick", and ANY chemical, natural or not, is ONLY going to make the smallest opening it needs to flow down the sewer.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Get a simple manual drain snake, just in case something really gets clogged and a natural solution will not clear it out. It is simple to use and will remove the blockage.
A garden hose with a tee shirt held tight around any pipe will open just about anything - or jet it into a long drain pipe.
Wow cut through 9' of roots with an old sock and garden hose , yesterday. Does R.R. KNOW THIS NEW TECH.
Pour a brine solution (or very strong salt water) down any sink to eliminate odors. It is good for kitchen sinks because it keeps grease from building up in the drains after cleaning dishes from dinner. This is a great little trick for preventing clogged drains from happening in the first place, which can definitely save you a nice bundle of cash.
Shove a hose and rag into the drain line and turn on the water. Unless the stoppage is very "loose" the water will rise up in the vent pipe and flow out onto the roof. Then when you turn the water off and remove the hose ALL that water will drain out of the pipe into the sink cabinet and onto the floor.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
In the past I had my kitchen and dishwasher drain plug that it would no longer drain (didn't give me much warning either) . I cut the very end off my drain pipe, inserted an air hose running from my air compressor and started blowing air through it...(make sure any sinks in this line have the drain plugs in and tight). You can actually hear the stuff in the drain moving, if it's being stubborn, run some water then hit it again ..repeat if necessary. It will free it up ,and blow the blockage out. Then I run hot water down it for 5-10 minutes to make sure it takes it all to the exit point. Remember, drain plugs in..it aint pretty if you don't..I found out the hard wayLOL

I get clogs all the time in my bathroom sink and tub. I typically use some sort of chemical remover, but it's great to hear about some of the more friendlier methods. I also think taking proactive steps to lessen clogs is crucial, but when multiple people are using it, that can be easier said than done. Thanks for the tips!

I am very proud of the initiatives completed during my tenure which have benefitted our students, faculty, alumni and the surrounding community. With a strong foundation set for the future growth of the University, it is a good time to transition this work to a new President. So, after much discernment, I have decided to step down as President effective May 31, 2014. A Presidential search committee is in the process of being formed and their work will commence early this summer.
I have spent a lot of time lately thinking about my time at La Salle. It has been gratifying to see such development in our academic offerings, in our campus, in our relationships with our local community, and of course, in our students. In addition, it is comforting to know that no matter how much La Salle changes, it remains the same.
We continue to be inspired by St. John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the Christian Brothers and the patron saint of teachers. We continue to be shaped by Catholic and Lasallian values. We remain dedicated to excellence in teaching and learning, personal attention, a sense of community and a global perspective. That is what La Salle has been and will continue to be all about.
I am privileged to have had the opportunity to work in partnership with a dedicated Board of Trustees, the Alumni Association Board of Directors and the Council of President's Associates who have worked tirelessly to advance the mission of the University. They are vital to our success today and into the future.
My heartfelt admiration goes out to the faculty, staff and my fellow Christian Brothers who everyday maintain the Lasallian tradition of education by preparing our students for a lifetime of personal development, service and success.
And finally, I am blessed to have had the opportunity to lead and teach such remarkable young men and women over the years.
I have agreed to stay on as President until my current term ends May 31, 2014 and will look forward to the next chapter, whatever that may be. I remain grateful for your kind and generous support and ask for your continued partnership as we work together to advance the mission of the University.

The right bearing and correct installation
Oil mist cannot eliminate basic bearing problems— it can only provide one of the best and most reliable means of lubricant application. (Refer again to Fig. 1.) Bearings must:
Additional considerations when converting electric motors that are already in use
When converting operating motors from grease lubrication to dry sump oil mist lubrication, consider the following measures in addition to those mentioned in the previous list:
Regarding explosion-proof motors
Although explosion-proof motors have been successfully lubricated with pure oil mist for at least three full decades, questions are occasionally raised as to whether explosionproof (XP) electric motors are suitable for this mode of lubrication.
Dealing with codes and practices…
The selection, operation and even maintenance of industrial equipment in the developed countries often are influenced by industrial standards, regulatory agencies and certain applicable codes. Major companies, though, superimpose their own design standards, specifications and best practices. It can be shown beyond any doubt that many of these practices reflect advanced thinking that is often years ahead of current regulatory edicts. Nevertheless (more recently), some of these practices have come under scrutiny. In the case of oil mist applied to explosion-proof electric motors, the scrutiny was not prompted by any safety incidents. Rather, it has been brought on by the fact that we live in litigious times and lawsuits are costly.
It appears that the acceptability of dry sump oil mist on explosion-proof motors relates to third-party approval and the original equipment manufacturer's certification of the motor. For years, users have provided all except their explosion-proof electric motors with a small (3 mm) weep hole and have given XP-motor drains closer attention. The latter are furnished with either an explosion-proof rated vent or a suitably routed weep hole passage at the bottom of the motor casing or lower edge of the end cover. Intended to drain accumulated moisture condensation, the vent or weep hole passage will allow liquefied or atomized oil mist to escape. Note, however, that explosion-proof motors are still "explosion-proof" with this passage. (For example, Baldor • Reliance Motors [formerly Reliance Electric] tackwelds an explosion-proof "XP-breather drain" to the motor brackets. The suitability of this line of motors for Class 1, Group C and D locations was specifically re-affirmed by the manufacturer in July of 2004.)
Not being familiar with dry sump oil mist, though, causes some motor manufacturers and third party validation providers to take the position that explosion-proofmotors lose this "listing" once any modifications are made to the motor.
Highlighting oil mist for XP motors
As the name implies, explosion-proof motors are intended for use in hazardous areas. The majority of hazardous areas in hydrocarbon processing facilities are designated as Class 1, Division 2, Groups B, C and D.
The Class 1 area designation indicates that either a flammable liquid or vapor or both are present. (Class 2 designations are reserved for areas where combustible metal, carbon fines or other combustible dusts such as grain flour or plastic are present).
The "Division" label is used to better describe the probability of flammable gases or vapors being present in a Class 1 or Class 2 location.
The "Group" designation has four subgroups, or gas groups—appropriately called Groups A, B, C and D. Determining the proper group classification for flammable gases and vapors requires monitoring and describing explosion pressures and maximum safe clearances between parts of a clamped joint under certain prescribed conditions whereby a test gas is mixed with air and ignited.
The test values obtained for a reference gas are compared with the gas or gases of interest; these must now be tested under the same conditions. Gases having similar explosion pressures are grouped together. However, Groups C and D contain the majority of flammable gases and vapors. Group A only contains acetylene, while Group B generally contains hydrogen and other hydrogen-rich gas mixtures, plus a few other flammable gases.
An important concession is made by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for equipment used in Division 2 areas, where flammable gases are normally not present, i.e. a refinery or petrochemical plant under normal conditions. If they meet stipulated criteria, the NEC allows the use of certain types of devices and materials that may not be listed by third party, or "listing" agencies. For instance, these exceptions to the NEC's general code requirements permit general-purpose enclosures if the electrical current interrupting contacts are:
Except for the above exclusions, the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70 ("NEC") requires that all electrical apparatus installed in classified (hazardous) areas must be approved for use in the specified Class and Group where it is to be used. Once an electrical apparatus is described as "explosion-proof," it is implied that the device has been evaluated and approved for use in a particular Class and Group. The evaluation or approval agency was earlier called a "third party." In the United States, third parties include Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Factory Mutual (FM) and others. Once an apparatus or device has been evaluated and approved for a particular Class or Group, it is labeled "listed" by the agency.
In most Class 1 Division 2 hazardous areas, the electric motors are not, and do not need to be "explosion-proof." The overwhelming majority are non-arcing induction motors that meet the requirements of the applicable and allowed exceptions. These non-explosion- proof motors can be adapted for dry sump oil mist lubrication by simply connecting oil mist supplies and vents to the existing connections used with the explosion-proof units. Because these motors are non-arcing and an explosion-proof housing is not needed for Division 2 service, the case drain fitting can be removed and a drain can be installed without in any way affecting the suitability of the motor for Division 2 service.
Safety of XP motors for Class 1 Division 1 service
Regrettably, some listing agencies in the United States seem to believe that oil mist applied to the bearings makes the motor different from what was originally approved. Not understanding oil mist, they take the position that by in any way adapting plugs and drain fittings to oil mist application, mist venting and mist draining, the safe clearance requirements between clamped components used in the original design requirement may have been changed. Therefore, they consider the approval listing void and claim the motor is no longer suitable for use in Class 1 Division 1 service. In view of this stance taken by third parties, even a major provider of oil mist systems in the United States does not allow its employees to make on-site modifications to convert or connect an explosion-proof motor to oil mist. That said, a number of clarifications are in order here.
First and foremost is the fact that explosion-proof motors were successfully converted to oil mist lubrication by undisputed best-of-class petrochemical companies three decades ago and have since given safe and reliable service. These forward-looking companies, for whom safety is of utmost importance, correctly reasoned that all electric motors, regardless of classification, were assembled and being operated in an ambient environment. Thus, they always are filled with ambient air; certainly none of these motors are provided with mechanical seals that would positively prevent an interchange or communication between motor-internal air and the surrounding ambient air. Should an explosive gas mixture prevail in the vicinity of such motors, there would now exist the possibility of the motor ingesting this explosive gas mixture. If, on the other hand, such a motor were filled with the demonstrably non-explosive oil mist at slightly higher-than-atmospheric pressure, the probability of the motor becoming filled with an explosive gas mixture would be greatly reduced. In other words, knowledgeable user companies have long recognized that an oil-mist-lubricated motor operating in a Class 1 Division 1 environment is safer than a conventionally lubricated electric motor operating in the same environment.
It also may be argued that item 2, and possibly one or two other items cited as exclusionary by NEC, allow the user to reason that oil mist existing at a pressure higher than atmospheric complies fully with the spirit of the listed exclusions.

358 S West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT | Directions 8410140.761488 -111.894212
Neighborhoods: Rio Grande
worst bartender – i visit a lot of different bars/clubs and i love drinking good beer.i tip at the end of the night and usually generously . but after buying my first beer , the bar tender came up to me and my friends, and said we do accept tips... and then went and whispered to the other bar tenders ears and pointed at us... umm ok well thank you for saving me the tip i was going to give you at the end of the night Ahole ..... definitely last time i ever go to that place
Small floor, shitty alcohol and pretentious staff – Sure they let you dance till 2ambut why would I want to dance if your alcohol is watered down, the patrons and staff are pretentious and your floor is smaller than my living room.
This place, for the lack of a better word, blows. If you want to dance the night and your worries away, its not the place to indulge.
My verdict: get your drinks somewhere else, don't ever pay their cover and avoid it all together
Best dancing in SLC – I have been to all of the main dance clubs in SLC so I think my opinion is really informed. I go dancing every other weekend with my friends and W is by far our favorite place to go. We arrive around 10 or 11 and dance until 2, the best dancing is after midnight. Some of my friends drink, some of them don't, I feel comfortable bringing them all to W. The bar tenders are really good about giving everyone water while they dance their brains out, because you really need it when you are dancing hard. Lots of people smoke at W, but they smoke outside in this sort of patio thing, which is a big plus.
Great music on Fridays and Saturdays, I prefer Fridays. You might want to bring some ear plugs if you are in on Saturdays because the music always seems a bit too loud on Sat. On a good night there are lots of people dancing and really getting into the music. I try to avoid W when there is a big birthday party there, because the floor is filled with drunk people who can't move to a beat for their lives, but doesn't that happen at most clubs? I think it does.
Mostly I feel like W allows you to wear whatever kind of clothing you want to wear, dance however you want, and be whoever you want. Every club has a few people who are "too cool for school" but I feel like W isn't about fitting into a type, its more about having a good time and being yourself than any other club I have been to in SLC.
THE MUSIC AT THE W IS THE BEST!!! Thats why we keep coming back. It really is the best dancing in SLC. I love their electronic selections, mixes and live DJs. The owner is actively involved in the scene and there are enough staff thats it feels secure even though its a killer dance club. The floor isn't too big, but its not too small and there is usually enough room to move it on the dance floor. There are couches and chairs for people who want to chill and its pretty much the best Dance club ever.
Scened Out! – Definition of scenester: Somehow finding a way to make your ugly features appear cool by wearing oversized glasses and tight t-shirts. The crowd is too cool for school. The kind of kids who got made fun of so bad in school, they became everything they hate. You know, the "Fixies" who ride by staring at themselves in any reflecting glass they may catch glimse of. Thinking about how well they know the world and how well they know their own ironic self image. Somehow forgetting so say "hello" or smile at anyone they may pass along the way. What a bore.
I don't think this place has ever allowed anyone to slip in without paying a cover. They're chintzy at that!
Very cool scene and good dance tunes. – W is discovery I made about a year ago and it has been a consistent spot for me and my friends ever since.
I am not really sure what exactly it is about the scene there but it grows on you. There drinks are nothing special really, for me it is more about the music. They have a Trance friday, an amazing Deep House Saturday, and this cool Trip Hop sunday.
I don't know much about the music scene here in SLC ( I am from Denver) but they seem to know what poeple to get for each night.
If you go on a Saturday around 12 am be ready to sweat on the dance floor. When I am dancing I usually just get bottled domestic beers becuase it gets hot.
Hidden Treasure – My first time at the W lounge was great! Extremely friendly staff! They kept me entertained as I showed up early (10:00pm). Do come later, around 11:00pm. Aftewards the club was packed. Great music, Friday is Disco, Techno night. Great place to go with the girls if you want to be treated right, and not have drunken, horny, boys bothering you. The crowd was diverse, and wonderfuly friendly. Certainly a place to check out, if you not into impressing perfect strangers. Membership is required.
For those who know... – W. Lounge is pretty much Salt Lake's best little dance club. No matter where you are it's the best place to end up when you need to take your party to the next level. You're guaranteed a fun and frisky, mixed crowd. The bartenders are the best and the music is truly forward thinking. Try it, you'll like it!
Wednesday and Friday nights are best. – Good music on Wednesdays and Fridays and typically fun any night. Haven't tried out Moonshine Mondays but mean to soon. Good crowd and usually not too crowded.
Small Restroom/Big Music – The night could be perfect at the W, however there is one small problem. If you need to use the restroom, you may find yourself standing in a line for litterally an hour easy. So the key is to grab your drink and stand in line, because by the time you need to use the restroom you'll be there. The music is great though, two thumbs up.

Grizzlies vs. Rockets: 1/9/12 - Gallery 2
Rudy Gay scored 21 points to lead the Grizzlies to a 93-85 victory over the Houston Rockets at FedExForum. Zach Randolph had 15 points and 14 rebounds and Mike Conley Jr. added 14 points for Memphis, which improved its home court winning streak to a franchise-record 13 regular season games. Game Wrap.

This could've happened in the early 80's when Wilfred had the WBC super-welter (junior-middle) crown.
I was a great admirer of Benitez's slick boxing style and how he slipped punches with ease. He had the same problem with Tommy Hearns that others did (His size)
Hagler of course pounded Hearns pillar to post, but I 'll never understand why Tommy didn't use his very underrated boxing skills, which would have made it a much less action packed, but more tactically interesting (and closer) fight.
I believe that in a 12-rounder Wilfred could've beaten Hagler by decision, but probably not in a 15-rounder.
Hagler seemed to be more effective when he was boxing and setting up counters than when he had to lead in a fight. Against a slick fighter like Benitez he might have been in for a frustrating evening, though he might have worn him down in a 15 round fight (late round KO possibly).

There's still a lot of hype surrounding the platform, but if recent market research is any indication, computing in the clouds could achieve a breakthrough of sorts in 2010.
Consider a new study from market watcher Aberdeen Group, which concludes that companies pursuing cloud strategies are able to realize significant savings, including a near 20 percent reduction in administrative costs, compared to non-adopters.
Aberdeen's research comes with an obvious caveat: It isn't enough to simply develop a cloud computing strategy; successful cloud adopters -- shops that reap the biggest benefits from their cloud implementations -- must also develop appropriate support resources, such as a formal cloud computing team or task force, to better manage their cloud investments.
"Discussions of cloud computing have made their way up to the boardroom just as board-level talk of outsourcing did in the 1980s and the Internet did in the 1990s," wrote analysts Bill Lesieur and Carol Baroudi in "Business Adoption of Cloud Computing," a recent Aberdeen research publication. "Beyond cloud as a transformational technology, the CFO and board level are looking at the economics of cloud, specifically converting traditional fixed capital expenditure...spending to variable operating expenditure [or opex] spending."
One salient takeaway, Lesieur and Baroudi concluded, is that successful cloud adopters continuously monitor their cloud-based assets to measure both efficiency and use. On top of this, Aberdeen noted, successful cloud implementations start from the top down (i.e., with C-level leadership). They're also ROI-driven -- or, more precisely, use ROI analysis to drive deployment decisions.
Cloud applications aren't deployed in a vacuum, either. Successful cloud adopters take end user satisfaction seriously; cloud-based apps can't have an impact, much less fulfill ROI projections, if users aren't consuming them.
There's a kind of stratification between cloud adopters, according to Aberdeen. Enterprise-class shops tend to pursue cloud computing as a consequence of existing investments in virtualization and, to a lesser extent, green IT. In this sense, cloud computing could even be described as a logical continuation of extant virtualization or energy-efficiency efforts.
One upshot of this is that enterprise IT organizations, more so than IT practices in small- and midsize (SMB) shops, have a disproportionate interest in private clouds. More than half (56 percent) of enterprise IT organizations are building their own private cloud-based infrastructures, according to Aberdeen; less than one-fifth (20 percent) of SMB shops are doing as much.
"Having become a mainstream IT infrastructure solution for a number of years, virtualization has dramatically changed datacenter operations," Lesieur and Baroudi wrote. "Cloud computing was born to further abstract the physical hardware infrastructure from the services and application layer of IT architectures."
SMB customers, on the other hand, typically start with the cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS). These shops have either been slower to pursue in-house virtualization or energy-savings efforts or -- just as likely -- have fewer legacy resources to bring along for the ride. One upshot of this is agility. They can more easily transition to a loosely coupled PaaS cloud architecture. Nearly half (45 percent) of SMB shops cited plans to outsource some or all of their applications to PaaS cloud providers.
Similarly, SMBs are much more likely to outsource infrastructure resources to PaaS providers, too. According to Aberdeen's survey, 28 percent of SMB shops cited a willingness to do as much compared to just 15 percent of large enterprises.
"Enterprise companies have more complex IT environments with legacy applications and infrastructures while SMBs are adopting cloud applications that do not require legacy planning and transition strategies," Lesieur and Baroudi wrote.

Thanks for this post. The compelling business case for the cloud is realized by many IT professionals, but determining the return on investment of a technology such as cloud computing can prove to be difficult. Have you encountered the ITX (IT Cloud Transformation) ROI Calculator? It's a free online service which will enable you to quickly estimate how much you stand to save in the cloud, versus on-premise. The program takes into account software applications, servers, data centers and back office functions and determines which would be cheaper with Web-based software applications and how long it would take to achieve ROI.

Cloud Computing will continue to be a hot topic but the issue of security is still a huge concern from our studies. Global Security Challenge LLP hold competitions throughout the year and will be launching The Cloud Security Challenge 2010, in conjunction with HP Labs to encourage start ups/indiviuals to bring forward their ideas/innovations that will help to address this concern. Winning ideas will receive a prize of £10,000 plus ongoing mentoring. Details of this are available at www.globalsecuritychallenge.com

While I don't think the Cloud will experience a 'boom,' I do anticipate continued growing adoption of hosted and Cloud-based services. The economy is forcing more business, from SOHO to the enterprise, to consider and adopt Cloud-based solutions to deal with aging IT infrastructure and applications. This is particularly true when it comes to core business functions like email or phone systems. Cloud-based email, such as Microsoft hosted Exchange, is already fairly common among small and mid-size companies, but expect to see larger enterprises make the switch as well, especially with competition among cloud email providers driving down the cost while also driving up features and functions.

It really is a boom year for cloud computing, Even Microsoft has announced the combination of the Windows Azure group with the Windows Server and Solutions group into a new organization, titled the Server and Cloud Division.

Capital of the prefecture, built in the north, in the cove of the gulf of Igoumenitsa, across from the island of Corfu. The city is surrounded by pine-laden hills and has a wonderful seaside road lined with sycamores and a park. It was liberated in 1913, during the 1st Balkan War. Before it became the prefecture's capital, Igoumenitsa was a small seaside village with 500 residents. During World War II, the city was completely destroyed and rebuilt from scratch in the same location.
After the rapid development in the 60s, Igoumenitsa transformed into one of the country's most important ports. It is connected by boat with Brindisi, Bari, Ancona, Venice and Trieste in Italy as well as with Avlona in Albania and Corfu and Paxous in Greece. It is located 480 km NW of Athens and 470 km SW of Thessaloniki.

A LAKE Macquarie landscaper has been caught by the collapse of a second builder on the same Teralba building job, costing him as much as $17,000 in lost payments.
Creating Eden Landscapes founder Matt Corfield is one of dozens of subcontractors caught when Sydney firm St Hilliers Constructions went into administration this week - a move the state government has described as "cynical".
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union says as many as 60 people were working on the York Street, Teralba, Department of Housing site, while more were on a St Hilliers job at Muswellbrook's Mount Arthur coalmine.
"We did $10,000 on the Teralba job when the first builder went under last March," Mr Corfield said yesterday.
"I didn't want to go back there, but the St Hilliers people gave me an iron-clad guarantee I would be paid because there was no way the government could afford the embarrassment of a second collapse.
"Now this has happened. They owe me $6732. It was supposed to be a stimulus job, but it's reverse stimulus because it could put us out of business.
"I've got three full-time employees, a full-time apprentice and a casual worker and we could all end up on the dole at this rate."
In a statement yesterday, St Hilliers chairman Tim Casey said St Hilliers Construction had been put in administration because it was exposed to guarantees given for the debts of another company, St Hilliers Ararat, over a $350 million expansion of Ararat prison in Victoria.
Mr Casey said he had no choice but to call in the administrators after months of work to recapitalise the business had failed.
NSW Finance Minister Greg Pearce said the federal government should investigate the company and any breaches of corporations law.
"[It's] a cynical attempt to avoid their liabilities on the Victorian jail project," Mr Pearce said.
"What sort of business model is it that these people can come out and say, 'Well we're going to put this company into administration to avoid our exposures to guarantees and debts'?" he said.
