Closing day
March 25, 2010
After 8 frenetic days, the Baselworld fair is now ending. Since Mr. Hattori's speech at the press conference last Thursday morning, our stand, the Cube, has been filled with excitement about the new products, memories of the past inventions, warm reunions, enthusiastic discussions, and serious business dealing!
No-one was busier this week than our President. Mr. Hattori was interviewed by several journalists and met many of SEIKO's global business partners during his stay. Predictably, perhaps, the most common question he was asked by the media was his view of the prospects for the year 2010. He commented that he is cautiously optimistic about the industry and about SEIKO's prospects. Many Asian markets are already growing and he expressed his firm belief that other regions would begin improving later in 2010. Mr. Hattori took these opportunities to stress that SEIKO was well positioned to benefit from the new mood of the market as SEIKO offers true and substantial values. He used the example of Grand Seiko, in which these values are best expressed and which he promised to expand to more markets in the world.
Throughout the week, visitors expressed their sense of awe and excitement at the design of the SEIKO stand. It has been entertaining to watch them pass through the Crystal Canyon in to the Stone Square and then look up, shocked at the scale of the sheer vertical walls of stone. Perhaps only a few realised that the stand is a metaphor for the SEIKO watch; a refined, impressive exterior, and a solid, long lasting interior. But whether they 'got it' or not, all left with a strong sense of the strength of SEIKO.
The objective of this Basel Site has been to offer you the same experience that the actual visitors have enjoyed. We hope we have managed to do so!
Thank you for reading our daily reports, and we look forward to your visit next year.

Graham, ASU looking for 'signature win' vs. USC
But Saturday's game at USC will thin the herd of contenders even more. A loss for either team would be their fourth conference defeat and would effectively eliminate them from the division race.
On Thursday, Graham acknowledged that a win over the 19th-ranked Trojans would be huge for a lot of reasons.
"Obviously, this is one of those wins we need right now for this program -- a signature win," Graham said. "We have a great plan, we've talked about the mental aspect of it and making sure we don't have mental mistakes because that's the thing that hurt us last week."
Last week's loss at Oregon State was a missed opportunity for the Sun Devils to collect a "signature win". Arizona State hung with the 11th-ranked Beavers in the first half, but was outplayed in the second half in a 36-26 loss.
The last time ASU beat a ranked opponent on the road was all the way back in 2002, when they toppled then-6th-ranked Oregon 45-42. Since then, in road games against ranked foes, the Sun Devils have gone 0-16. The average margin of defeat has been 17.4 points.
Graham is happy with the way the Sun Devils have played this season, but acknowledges it's time to take the next step.
"We've won some ball games, and I think, made great progress and done some great things," he said. "For these guys to go and win this game when everybody else has pretty much counted us out and given up on us as far as having a chance to win the South, if you can and win that thing, it's immeasurable what it does for you."
Southern California has long been a staple in ASU's recruiting efforts, so a win over the Trojans in their backyard could do wonders for the future of the Sun Devil program.
"These are the kind of wins we have to have, that's why we're here," Graham said. "I think it's very critical."

The contents of this thread apply to every member of the community. Even if the initial announcements don't interest you, please read the entire thread. Everyone will be affected by this.
Mod Consolidation
The story and art moderator jobs have been combined into one role, the Media Moderator. Kasey, Yumeko, Starsea and kelleh have all been transitioned into this new role. The Media Moderator handles the processing of submissions for the Library, Gallery, and Portal, as well as the evaluation of any rule violation reports submitted for items in those areas. Any future moderators added to the team will be expected to handle all three types of submissions.
Update Model
The site has officially been switched from the weekly update model to the rolling updates model. This means that new stories and artwork accepted by the moderators will be available in the Library and Gallery immediately and listed on the New Artwork/Writing pages without any delay. New items will no longer have to wait for a Sunday update before they are available to the public. New items will remain on the New pages for 60 days.
Library/Gallery Changes
In addition to the update model switch, the Top lists for stories and artwork have been expanded to include 100 items rather than the previous 25. The Elite Library has been removed entirely. After four years it has proven to be unnecessary.
Site Reboot
Finally, the biggest announcement of all. I plan to do a complete redesign of the entire community, from scratch. I want to split away from the open-source SMF forum base we've been using and migrate to something developed in-house that will be completely customizable and more resistant to spam bots. In addition, there are many bugs and things I would like to do with the site that are impossible the way I designed it when I was new to PHP. A ground-up redesign is the most efficient solution.
Stories, artwork, reviews and user accounts will be migrated to the new system, but the final product will look and function completely different from what we have now. Essentially, we will have a new site - which is why, while we're at it, I would like to change the name of the community itself. ".moon" has never been a very good name for us. I fell in love with it as a potential name for a Sailormoon fansite and stubbornly used it for a project it didn't really fit. The redesign will give us an opportunity to finally change the name.
I have created a special forum for discussion of the upcoming site reboot. We will be coming up with a new name for the community, so I have hidden the forum so potential domain names won't get snatched up by squatters before we have a chance to get them. I would grant everyone access en masse, but we do have some spam accounts among us. I would love for everyone to participate in the planning of the new site. Please tell me you are interested and I will grant you access to the hidden forum. I will add everyone who asks. I'm only doing this behind closed doors because I don't want us to get our hearts set on a new community name only to have the domain taken from us.
Please, if you have any passing interest at all, ask to be added to the group. This community belongs to everybody and I want everybody to have a say in its future.
Sorry. Screwed up while dealing with spam posts. Had to restore the post's subject.

Ochoa, Bianca R. This action research study focused on how various grouping strategies influenced preservice teachers' differentiation of instruction. The participants included a third grade mentor teacher and three preservice teacher candidates. The candidate preparation curriculum consisted of seminars, daily field-based learning experiences, and ongoing assessment within a professional development school. The teacher candidates gave students a math pretest over the objectives that were to be addressed during the nine weeks of the study. The results of the pretest, scores from a state practice test, and students' independence levels were used to place students in one of three groups that represented different achievement levels. During the first three-week phase, each of the teacher candidates planned and taught their math lessons to one of the three homogeneous groups. During the second three-week phase, each of the teacher candidates planned and taught a math lesson to all of the three homogeneous groups who rotated through their teaching station. The sequence of group rotations was intentional because the candidates had an immediate experience of teaching fractions to different homogeneous groups of students, comparing lowest ability with highest ability. During the final three-week phase, each of the teacher candidates taught a heterogeneous group. Throughout the three phases, the mentor teacher videotaped lessons each day, and collected lesson plans with candidate reflections. All of the data were analyzed using the Classroom Instructional Practice Scale and the William and Mary Classroom Observation Scales. Results indicated that grouping influenced the candidates' awareness of differences between and within the groups. When advanced students were in the group, the candidates were more likely to use critical and creative thinking strategies. While the candidates planned different learning activities for students in homogeneous groups during the second three-week phase, they tended to plan the same activities for the group and ignored individual differences within the group. During the third phase when the candidates were teaching the heterogeneous group, they provided additional activities for students who finished early or used assessments to guide their instruction. 2014-01-28T00:00:00Z Relationships between college knowledge and college-going beliefs of eighth grade students. http://hdl.handle.net/2104/8862 Relationships between college knowledge and college-going beliefs of eighth grade students. Wisely, Lynn Woodward. The present study examined the relationships of college knowledge and parent education level with these college-going beliefs: (a) self-efficacy, (b) outcome expectations, (c) likelihood both to go to and graduate from college, (d) choice intentions, and (e) educational goals of eighth grade students. Social Cognitive Career Theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) provided the theoretical framework. Data collected included the following instruments: College-Going Self-Efficacy Scale (Gibbons, 2005), College-Going Outcome Expectations Scale - Positive (Gibbons, 2005), Career Expectation and Intentions Scale - Revised (Betz & Voyten, 1997) and the Texas College Knowledge Inventory (TCKI) (Wisely, 2012), a revision of the North Carolina College Knowledge Inventory, (NCCKI) (GEAR UP, 2008). The study defined parent education level as one of two conditions: either one or both parents had more than a high school education, or parent(s) did not have more than a high school education. Participants included 324 inner-city public middle school students from a school district in central Texas. Ninety percent of the sample were on free and reduced lunch; 54% were female (46% male); 68% were Hispanic, 24% African American, 8% White, 1% other; and 51.5% were prospective first-generation college students (48.5% non-first-generation). Simple linear regression analyses indicate that, in general, college knowledge accounted for between 1-10% of the variance, while parent education level accounted for up to 2% of the variance in college-going beliefs. Although analyses failed to detect an interaction effect between the predictors, including both predictors in the model was an improvement over either predictor model alone, accounting for up to 11% of the variance. Multinomial logistic regression determined that increasing college knowledge or parent education level greatly improved the odds of a student choosing educational goals of four-year institutions or graduate school over the educational goal of high school or less. A secondary purpose of the study was to assess the TCKI as a tool to measure college knowledge. Implications of these findings extend to school personnel, researchers and public policy advocates. 2013-09-24T00:00:00Z Faculty religiosity and attitudes towards persons with disabilities. http://hdl.handle.net/2104/8735 Faculty religiosity and attitudes towards persons with disabilities. Chen, David S., 1988- Previous research suggests that religiosity may influence attitudes towards outgroups. The present study investigated the effects of faculty religiosity on attitudes towards persons with disabilities at large, faith-based private university in the southwest United States. The central research question of the study was, "How does a faculty member's religiosity affect their attitudes towards persons with disabilities?" Participants (N = 79) responded to an online survey that included the Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons scale (Form O) and a self-reported measure of general religiosity. A polychoric correlation was used to examine the relationship between faculty religiosity and attitudes towards people with disabilities. The analysis did not find a significant relationship at the α = .05 confidence level. ANOVAs were conducted to examine interactions between gender, age, academic discipline, and income level. 2013-09-16T00:00:00Z Mixed-methods study of the impact of a computational thinking course on student attitudes about technology and computation. http://hdl.handle.net/2104/8726 Mixed-methods study of the impact of a computational thinking course on student attitudes about technology and computation. Booth, William A. (William Andrew) The following dissertation reports on a mixed-methods, convergent parallel design research study of the impact of a computational thinking curriculum on attitudes towards computation and the use of technology. This study used a new curriculum in computational thinking recently developed through a National Science Foundation (NFS) Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computer Education (CPATH) grant as the intervention. The purpose of this one-semester course is to introduce computational thinking to undergraduate students who are not computer science majors. This course is intended to engage a broad range of students, including those not ordinarily accustomed to using computation as a problem solving tool. The treatment group was represented by twenty-two students randomly selected from an information technology course. The traditional curriculum for this information technology course was modified to include topics from the computational thinking curriculum. Topics included problem abstraction and decomposition, understanding fundamental programming concepts, and appreciating the practical and theoretical limits of computation. Those students enrolled in the information technology course, not selected for the treatment group, used as the comparison group. All students in the study took a computer anxiety survey at the beginning and end of the semester. The participants also completed frequent surveys to report on their level of anxiety and insights into the efficacy of the instructional methods being used in the classroom. In addition to the survey data, the participants' weekly lab reports were included in the qualitative data collected about the use of computational thinking strategies in problem solving. Finally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with each member of the treatment group to gain insight into how they used technology before receiving formal training in computational thinking. The qualitative data were encoded and analyzed for evidence of the course's impact on the participants' attitudes towards and application of computational strategies in problem solving. This study found that when students participate in a computational thinking course there is in increase in the use of computational strategies in problem solving, an increase in positive affect towards computational thinking and a decrease in computer anxiety. 2013-09-16T00:00:00Z

The Chargers are missing a key piece of their offense with two-time Pro Bowl OLT Marcus McNeill continuing a holdout that likely will extend deep into the regular season. But even though his absence — along with the sudden retirement of Tra Thomas — has left San Diego incredibly thin at a critical position, the organization doesn't seem overly concerned about it. From what we hear, the Bolts are confident that second-year player Brandyn Dombrowski can adequately step into McNeill's shoes. Among Dombrowski's supporters are head coach Norv Turner and QB Philip Rivers, who both have been impressed with the lineman's preseason performance. Although the undrafted San Diego State product started eight games in 2009, he saw almost all his time on the right side, so he has minimal experience protecting the passer's blind side. He'll need to stay healthy, though, as his only current backup is Tyronne Green, a guard/center the Chargers drafted last year and have had to convert to left tackle of out necessity.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — There seems to be a growing interest in bowling in Cooperstown.
Maureen Davidson, first-year coach of the Cooperstown Central School girls and boys varsity and boys junior varsity teams, said she has double the amount of players she had last year. The team has 24 players – including 15 who are new to the sport, she said.
Mike DeSimone,an employee at the Clark Sports Center bowling alley who helps with the leagues, said he has also seen a growing interest in the sport. He said a new bowling league called the Little Rollers began earlier this month. The league is open to boys and girls in grades K-2.
There are 16 children who participate Wednesdays from 4 to 4:45 p.m., according to DeSimone.
"We got this going because we want to teach them and start them off at a young age," he said.
The free program is free and will run through Dec.19. Another session will be held Jan. 9 through Feb. 13. Registration will be open from Dec. 26 to Jan. 9. For more information, call Barry Gray at 547-2800 ext. 108.
The Little Rollers is not the youngest bowling league the Clark Center offers. There is also preschool bowling that begins in September and runs through May (tentative ending date). The program is open to youth ages 3, 4 and 5 every Tuesday, 10:30 to 11 a.m. No registration is necessary and the free bowling includes show rentals. DeSimone said moms and dads can come with the kids and bowl for free as well.
There is also an elementary and middle school bowling league open to boys and girls in grades 3-8, according to DeSimone. These bowlers meet from 3 to 5 p.m. every Friday from November to April.
The Clark Sports Center Bowling Department provides programs for bowlers of all experience and skill levels. Bowling pretty much takes place every day of the week at the eight-lane facility. DeSimone said all the adult leagues are full, but substitutes are always being sought. Adult leagues include Monday night men's, Tuesday night women's, Wednesday night men's. Thursday night women's, Thursday night mixed and a summer no-tap mixed.
Senior citizens age 55 and older have a league of their own.
"It's a good time to come out and have fun, exercise, listen to great oldies music and socialize with friends," DeSimone said.
The program is open to seniors every Tuesday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and Wednesday from 1 to 2:30 p.m., through May 22, (tentative ending date).
"Seniors bowl for as much as they can for just $1," DeSimone said.
For more information on bowling leagues, visit http://www.clarksportscenter.com/bowling/.
The Clark Sports Center is where the Cooperstown teams host their home matches. Davidson said Barry Gray, the athletic director at the gym, goes out of his way to help and welcome the students from CCS. The Center loans equipment such as balls, shoes and bags for away games as well, she said.
Davidson, who substitute teaches at CCS, said there are only four schools in the league that have a junior varsity team, and CCS is lucky to have such a program. There are only seven or eight school that have girls teams, she added.
Interest in bowling on the Cooperstown school team may be able to be, at least in part, accredited to the offerings at the Clark Sports Center.
Senior captain of the varsity boys team Chris Harloff said he began bowling in a league at the gym when he was in third grade and has loved it ever since.
Harloff said he has been bowling for the team for five years.
"I enjoy it and think it is a lot of fun," he said.
The captain said he has seen his scores increase over the years and is always working on perfecting technique.
"Everyone has their own technique and no two people bowl the same. That can make it hard to teach," Harloff said.
DeSimone, who is also an assistant coach for the school team, said the goal is to spark an interest for the young at the Clark Center and then hope they continue to like the sport and play on the team.
Davidson said she found bowling attracted children who are on the fringe athletically and socially. However, this year, she said many students who were playing on other teams decided to join bowling instead.
"I really do not know why, but we are very happy to have them," she said.
First-time team member Robert Iversen said being on the team has given him another avenue to meet new people and develop friendships.
"I liked to bowl before now, I just didn't get much chance," he said.
The 10th grader said he thought about joining the team last year, but never did.
"It's been a lot of fun so far," he said.
The ultimate goal, according to Davidson and DeSimone, is to have the three teams compete in sectionals.

Whole House - Virtually all the lighting in the townhouse is on dimmers so you can dial it up or down to suit your needs. The floors are made of Travertine, which is a natural stone much like marble. Travertine is easy to keep clean and feels great under bear feet. There are three ceiling/light fans, one in each bedroom and another in the living room. The fans keep the tropical breezes blowing, cooling off the townhouse. And yes, we do have air conditioning.
Everything in the townhouse is brand new including all of the high-end appliances (large and small) and all of the furniture. We spared no expense and outfitted the townhouse with the best of everything, from top quality mattresses to high end big screen HDTVs.
Bathrooms - During the remodel we completely overhauled both bathrooms. We installed new marble showers and put in an new tub. We replaced the vanities and put granite countertops on both of them. The master bathroom also has his and her granite vanities and custom cabinetry so that you both have plenty of elbow room while grooming for that special night out...or in ;-)
Bedrooms - Both bedrooms are well appointed with luxurious linens and new, high quality mattresses. Both have adjustable speed ceiling fans and dimmable lights. The queen bedroom has its own wall mounted HDTV. The king master suite has a private, spa-like full bath. Auxiliary bedding includes a pack-n-play and an auto-inflatable king mattress.
Telephone - Save your cell phone minutes and use our free, unlimited long distance and local calling. We also offer free, unlimited international calling to 60 countries as long as you are dialing into land based phones (not cell phones).

House members debated a bill that would add congressional powers to be able to order audits of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has always been removed from federal politics so that it would not influence the economy to manipulate voters. Supporters argued that more visibility, especially with trillions of dollars at stake, is a good thing. Dissenters argued that the auditing power is a slippery slope and could lead to Congress's corrupting influence over the Fed. close

Activity tab redirects to Home tab on Subsite
I installed WordfPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, WP Multi Network and then unzipped BP Multi Network into mu-plugins. (I'm using all the latest non-beta versions). I set up WordPress Multisite along the way. I also Installed Group Forums, created one subsite and created BuddyPress component pages for the subsite. The Activity tab on the main site displays properly when I select it. However, the Activity tab on the subsite redirects to the Home tab when I select it. How do I fix this?

Pours dark brown to black with a finger of head that lingers a bit and leaves nice lacing in its wake. The nose has a decent amount of hops and along with a touch of roast. The flavor profile is not quite full-bodied, but the roasted malt and hops are certainly present and well-balanced.
This offering would make for a good introduction to the black ale style, but it is certainly not on par with the best of the style.

this beer tastes like watered down coffee. the smell is syrupy and strong. the mouthfeel is watery and slightly dry upon swallowing. taste is too close to a stout and they have little business calling it an american black ale when its not really in that category from my drinking experience. This beer maintains no head and doesn't even lace the glass further showing how watered down it is. DuClaw also should reassess its naming. Black Lighting is just a bad name and I would never have bought this beer if my work hadn't broken up all the 6 packs (which weren't selling for 2 months) and sold as individuals at 1.50 a pop. Love maryland and their brewing renaissance, but steer clear of this one.

A - A fairly dark pour some brown around the base of the glass. Head is minimal with just a 1/4 inch pulling back to a sticky lace ring.
S - Mild roast coffee, some chocolate malts hints and a touch of oatmeal.
T - Pretty smooth the flavors are not too roasty from the coffee, it has a mild hoppy bite mid palate, and the finish is rather sweet with soft hints of chocolate flavor. It would be perfect but the finish also houses a acidic note which is somewhat easy to ignore.
M - Light to medium, silky body, somewhat creamy.
Overall its not a bad black ale but I prefer Dark Horses version better. Easy to quaff back though!

12 ounce bottle, poured into a pint glass
Appearance: Very dark brown, almost black, with one/one and a half fingers of oatmeal colored head, that stayed around for a very long time, leaving rings on the glass as drunk, noting where previous levels of beer was located. Gorgeous.
Aroma: Very interesting and pleasing. Floral, yet also a lot of roasted barley; dark bread like pumpernickel, and some rye notes, caraway seeds. Faint hints of chocolate.
Taste: Very hoppy up front, which at first made me think that I wouldn't like it, as I'm not a hops fan, but then the hops gives way quickly to TONS of BIG roasted malt and slight hints of coffee, but mostly roasted malt, that lasts forever. VERY long finish on this beer.
Mouthfeel: There's quite a bit of carbonation in this beer, which gives off something of a cola mouthfeel, very effervescent, but not at all unappealing. Not smooth, but not cloying. Refreshing.
Overall: I liked this beer quite a lot. Like I said earlier, the hops forward flavor threw me for a second but I really, really liked the long roasty, malty finish that this beer has. Another winner from DuClaw, which is fastly becoming one of my favorite local breweries.

Bottled: unk
It's black, nice loose light tan foam. Smells like dark toasted malts, licorice, graham, some molasses, some bits of lighter hops. Nice malt nose. Flavor is graham, soil, lots of malts, sweet, some bits of smoke and vanilla. Full bodied with a sparkly carb and a dry finish. Overall, I feel this beer is miscategorized as a Black Ale, the hops are nearly nonexistent, but the base beer is a really nice stout - a little confused by this aspect, but a good beer.

Poured from bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is poured a nearly pitch black color with a one finger tan colored head floating atop the brew after pouring. The head fades over a moderate amount of time to leave a nice level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell- The aroma is on the sweeter side overall with a decent presence of chocolate mixed with a caramel and molasses smell. With these aromas are some lighter notes of darker fruits and some nut.
Taste – The taste begins with a sweeter roasted malt flavor with some dark fruit and molasses sugar. As the flavor advances some tastes of chocolate and pine hop come to the tongue. The hop is never too strong with the pine soon being replaced by a citrus hop flavor. This citrus hop is joined by some flavors of coffee and heavily roasted/burnt taste to leave a sweet and moderately roasty flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is average in its thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is rather average. Not bad for the roasted and slightly hopped flavors of the brew, but also nothing too exceptional.
Overall – A tasty darker, but very drinkable and lightly hopped brew. Not bad.

A facelift may be in the future for downtown, improving mobility by offering alternatives to driving.
New transportation options are being considered that could change how you navigate in, out and around town.
Right now, a lack of parking, traffic, and difficult roads for bicyclists and pedestrians are what make downtown Fort Myers difficult to navigate.
"It's chaotic," says Fort Myers resident and bicyclist, Maggie Obryan.
But today, there are new possibilities.
"We are trying to make sure that you will have options available to you so that you don't have to drive your care to every place you want to go downtown," says Fort Myers Public Works Director, Saeed Kazemi.
Options include a facility where people can park their bikes and make sure street crossings are safer.
"It would just make sense to have a friendlier, easier way to get down here," Maggie says.
The improvements are not just for bicyclists and walkers. The city is also looking into a trolley circulator that navigates from SR-80 to as far south as Edison Avenue.
"You can hop in and hop out, just that kind of thing. You don't have to drive your car from point A to point B," says Kezemi.
However, the mobility plan does have its gaps. The cost of the project and the time that it would take to complete it haven't been calculated yet.
The city says it's because the plan is still preliminary.
But downtown residents Jayne and Lanny Hanscom say they won't let that gap get in the way of their excitement.
"The town still sees the need to do it. It's being protracted in terms of the time it takes. But I think eventually it's going to get done," they say.
Once city staff receives public input, they will formulate a draft which will include the projected cost.
They plan to present the draft to the council early fall.

A budgerigar was rescued and re-homed on Thursday 29th September, after flying into the landing gear of an E190 aircraft, while parked at London City Airport.
Airport safety and operations staff witnessed the budgie trying to hitch a lift on the aircraft and flew into action.
After shutting down the aircraft's engines and capturing the little bird, attempts were made to find his owner but as this was not successful, he has been temporarily housed at an employee relative's aviary in East Ham.
Reports confirm that he is thriving in his new environment but the budgie's new foster family are prepared to return their newest addition if his owner comes forward.

According to Bob Nightengale, the attendance at Chase Field tonight is just upwards of 38,000 ... which is roughly 10,000 below capacity. It could have been a lot worse, though; thanks to a late push that included free t-shirts for everyone, the D'backs sold roughly 10,000 tickets in the 24 hours before the game.
Okay, enough picking on the Diamondbacks. They're who they are, and their fans are who they are. For better or worse. Here's the real point of this entry:
I believe it. Where the Diamondbacks drew 2.1 million this season in Major League Baseball's 14th biggest market, the Brewers drew 3.1 million in Major League Baseball's smallest market.
If I were training to run a baseball team, I would study two franchises: the Rays for their performance, and the Brewers for their attendance (and their performance ain't bad, either).

4.08/5 rDev -4.2%
During my last trip to California, I got to share this bottle with TheLongBeachBum on my last night there, sitting on the sofa watching TV while the rain poured down outside..
This beer was a dark rusty red-brown color, very cloudy at first with bits floating around, with a ring of bubbles around the glass and a thin layer of bubbles dotting the surface. As it settled after some time, the beer was less cloudy overall, and there became what looked kind of like a big 'dust cloud' of sediment at the bottom.
Smelled really sweet. I couldn't get over the sweetness and was worried I wouldn't even want to drink it. Brown sugar, caramel, raisins, and a fairly stong alcohol aroma too. Very characteristic of a barleywine but sweeter than I prefer. Taste was refreshingly more hoppy. Oh thank you Stone for the lasting hops! It tasted much less sweet than it smelled, more fruity without all that brown sugarness, grassy, a bit hot, with fresh bitter hop end, even 4 years after the fact. Like several beers in one sip from beginning to end. This is very nicely balanced.
Mouthfeel was very smooth, yet hot. Thick but not syrupy and still nicely carbonated. It's pretty damn drinkable for how strong it is, and the hops definitely add to that, otherwise it'd be a syrupy mess. Thanks for sharing, Bum, I owe you!

What a awesome brew! I found a local liquor store that still has about 4 of these bottles left and I grabbed one just to start out with.
It poured a deep reddish brown color with a good head that settled into a thin foam over the top of the beer. By the smell you can tell right away that it is a Stone brew with its carmel and slightly piney scent. The mouthfeel was great, and the taste was of carmel and malt and an alchohol packed finish. Like their other heavy brews, this one just tasted better and better as it got warmer. It tasted the best right above room temp to me. I'm definantly running down to that store to buy more!

3.38/5 rDev -20.7%
Presentation: 22 oz brown bomber, Limited Spring 02 Release on the label gives you an idea of freshness not that it matters being that this brew is 9.91% abv.
Appearance: Bright and clear garnet colour, thin lace that draws back to only a ring around the glass. Little head retention.
Smell: Caramel, raisins and a mild solvent alcohol. Sweet and spicy from the malt and alcohol.
Taste: Full creamy body, moderate carbonation that adds a subtle smoothness. Big warming middling solvent alcohol that seems to hold a big portions of the balancing factor being that there is now huge hop presence like most of the other Stone ales. Huge flavours of caramel and raisins, mild astringent flavours kick in during the finish with husk and spicy alcohol.
Notes: This is so English style Id swear it was an import. But coming from Stone Brewing, where are my damn hops!! A decent brew, cellar it if you want but you are better off drinking it right now IMO. Alcohol seems a bit over the top with the solvent character and a bit too sweet for my liking.

This brew pours a deep dirty orange. A thin but persistent white head formed and faded to a sticky lace. The aroma is warm hints of alcohol, but a bit hop-e. Hints of dark fruit and a small wiff of citrus are present. The taste is great. Waves of alcohol and spice come across the palate. The hops make their way to the front followed by fruity flavors and a great malt background. There is also a slight sweet flavor mixed in.
Overall: this is one fine barley wine. It does have its own distinct taste and may seem harsh at first but as you enjoy more of it and the beer warms, it is one fine brew. Thanks to EyeChartBrew for this fine offering!

4.22/5 rDev -0.9%
Appearance: Pours a reddish-amber with copper edges. A light tan head starts at a fair size, then shrinks to a tiny cap, which is the norm for beers of this strength.
Smell: Rich and warming, with a hint of rawness that was much more pronouced when this brew was released. Time has smoothed this one out, and it has a good balance of aromatic hops and sweet, caramelly malt. Good whiff of alcohol too...
Taste: It's starts out bitter and aggressive, but the malts eventually balance everything out. They're quite sweet, with a touch of fruitiness and lots of caramel. I also taste a bit of roasted malt. The hops don't have the grapefruit and pine notes that Stone brews usually have, as there is more of a bitter citrus, lemony flavor. Finishes dry and bitter with a big swoosh of alcohol.
Mouthfeel: The body is heavier than medium, with a syrupy mouthfeel. Dry and crisp from the high amount of alcohol.
Drinkability: Pretty good for what it is. This is a very well-done barley wine and I could relax with a bottle of this any night. I'd like to note that the last year has helped to smooth it out, though the strong alcohol flavor still makes this a very slow sipper.

Picked up this 22oz. bottle from a local liquor store. I haven't had many barley wines so a style comparison is difficult. I can share what I've observed.
Appearance: deep cloudy dark amber color with rough tannish head which quickly settled to compact cap with no lace.
Smell: earthy malt aroma with a fruit&caramel undertone. Aggitation brought out an astringent alcohol smell.
Taste: bitter right away but quickly balanced by the caramel malt. Pronounced alcoholic bite at the finish.
Feel: dry and crisp with a tongue-tingling %ABV. Kind of slick.
Drinkability: having minimal exposure to this style, I'd say this is a beer to drink with care. Alcohol content really can ambush you. Probably great for a cold night next to a fire. I'd like to sample the others in the lineage and style and maybe come back to edit this later.

At first I had my doubts about opening this, "I might not be able to get any more of this year's," I thought. When I got it out, got it to the right temperature, then cracked it and poured it, I developed this evil smirk on my face, which grew as the aroma hit me. You know, that psychiatric ward look. That "I'm about to savor a Stone limited release" look. That devil inside of you that pops up on your shoulder and tells you to crack it had taken hold of me. "You don't have to save it, you have to savor it, drink it! Now!" And so I (not so unwillingly) obey its command... The aroma hits HARD. I can't comment on the appearance first, the aroma is first here. Very strong citrus hops with a hint of alcohol, which actually creates a burning sensation in your nostrils. That sounds bad? No, it's GOOD. It tells you that this beer is gigantic, humongous, all-powerful. It has you in its clutches. A sinful dark reddish brown sits under a small, yet persistent cream-colored head. The calm before the storm is over, those clouds are getting darker and the rumble of thunder is getting closer. WHAM! It's here! Devilishly smooth, then the smack of thunderous hops! Huge caramel malt marches on with piney bitter hops by its side. Alcohol presence is very noticeable as well. Comes to a bitter end and then goes down silky smooth. Although hops are big, malt is truly the culprit here. A beer adventure. A dastardly, bastardly demon of a barleywine that is perfectly fit for the job of being the "guardian" of Stone brews. Drink it now! Your inner evil commands you!

Vintage 2002 Release: The pleasure of buying beer by the case is having it around to review when you realize you never put down your notes.
The beer departs the 22-ounce brown bottle a deep copper to almost brown with a moderate sized head and the texture frothy with the color a beauteous light tan, as it slowly recedes the residual lace forms a thick and sealing sheet upon the glass. Nose is rich in fusel alcohol, sweet buttered popcorn comes to mind, fresh and pleasing to the senses, and start is rich in malt, quite sweet and the top moderate to full in feel. Finish is pleasantly acidic, the hops docile in their spiciness, the aftertaste sweet and dry with a definite alcohol bite and a nice tummy warmer to be sure, better than when it was fresh, not sure about that, but still damn good.

enjoyed on-tap at lucky baldwins
what a beer. never tried this edition before, but i bet its never been this smooth. looked fantastic in a chimay goblet. served at absolutely the right temp.
the aroma had melded together so well it was hard to pick out each constituent, same with the taste. the only one that stuck out was the alcohol. expected in something of this strength, it just managed to poke its obnoxious head out from such a now-refined brew.
as good as it was, it was tough to finish. very potent, and very good.

on draught 2003 in a vertical w/ 99, 00, 01 & 03. It's clear that this is a pretty good barley wine, but Not world class, like the 03 vintage.
ReRate 24 May 2002: I tried another bottle, much more impressed this time. It's not world class, like Stone's IPA or Imperial, but a very good representation of the style. Previous rating: Compared w/ Stone's other brews, I'm disappointed. This is a good barleywine, but I was expecting more, since, from my POV, Stone's track record is excellent. Good but not great. It poured w/ virtually no head, not much aroma, the taste is good. The alcohol sneaks up on you later.

2002 bottling from the cellar. Enjoyed on 20-feb-05.
Beautiful clear garnet hue with a slight off white head.
Caramel-toffee sweet malt and raison smell.
Medium- full bodied with a surprizingly smooth mouthfeel.
Has a raisony, vinous caramel malt flavor with the alcohol stinging my tonsils.
As expected not much hop action here.
An excellent fireside sipper.
The only detraction here was the clumps of sediment in the second and last pour.
Try and filter this out if you drink an aged Guardian, it neutralizes the delicate flavors here.

Out of the bottle at Winter Storm
A: The beer pours a hazy amber color with a finger or so of tan colored foam.
S: Starts off with caramel and citrus, mostly oranges, along with a nice sharp pine note. There's a bit of vanilla in there, but also some cardboard, unfortunately. Brown sugar provides some more sweetness.
T: Still quite bitter with a lot of pine and citrus peel. The vanilla is there again, as is a strong flavor of toffee. Grapefruit, pine, and grass add some perception of hop character. The cardboard is here, but it's fairly minimal.
M: The body is medium to full with a moderate level of carbonation.
D: Not bad for a nine year old beer. I prefer it fresh or with a year or two on it, but still not bad.

12 oz bottle served somewhere between cold and cellar temperature in a Trois Pistoles goblet.
Appearance: Glowing reddish orange topped with a slight beige head that quickly evaporates to a layer of film, and then a ring. No lacing worth talking about.
Smell: Orangy citrus, cherry fruits, maple sweetness, caramel and toffee malts, spicy hops. Just a crapload of barleywine goodness.
Taste: Intensely bitter pine flavor at the tip of the tongue. Nice mellow caramel and toasted malt sweetness towards the middle of the tongue. Peppery notes all throughout. Lingering aftertaste with some citric notes.
Mouthfeel: Nicely, and appropriately, viscous with a good solidly heavy body. There's junk in the trunk to be sure.
Drinkability: Well, if I could find another one or two of these guys, $$$ wouldn't be much of an object, let me tell you. A bomber is a bit much for one person, but damn am I willing to indulge a bit. A very American (read: hoppy) take on the style. This must have been hellfire when it was young.

Deep mahogany in color, head starts off about finger thick and fades to a creamy sticky lace that rides the whole way down.
Aroma is really nice, molasses sweet with hints of spices, diacetyl, alcohol, hops and fruit aroma (raisins, I think).
The taste is dominated by a deep malt body, and the warming taste and flavor of alcohol. The finish is heavily hopped enough for a well-balanced, slightly dry finish, but the combination of intense malt and alcohol warmth is what will stick with you. Very pleasant after-effect.
A nice, very full-bodied, viscous beer. Quite similar to their notched-up strong ale, though a bit hoppier, I think, and with a bit different fermentive character.

Presentation: Limited Spring 2002 Release Stone Old Guardian which has been hiding in my closet for the past 4 years. Listed at 9.91% ABV.
Appearance: Clouded mahogany with some ruddy brown swirling pools of turbidity. Strangely enough though, given time in the glass it clears to reveal a lovely lucid rusty red coppered body. Head was decent enough to cover the contents at first but soon broke early on to leave only a thin halo ring and a little broken swirling galaxy like nebula in the centre. Nevertheless, the looks and carbonation were both still good, 4 years on.
Nose: Caramel, thick malts and a light toasted toffee background. The aromas are pungent and the alcohol is still there, though it is mature in character. Woody hops dominate set against a glowing fireside sweetness.
Taste: Chewy start with some warm malts which have a strong toffee aspect and lots of caramel. Middle reveals the bitterness and the finish has aniseed and more rasping hops. The high contribution from the hops after such a time was a surprise, but not one Id complain about. Light oak & more aniseed in the finish with a little more sweetness than the fresh versions. Very nice indeed.
Mouthfeel: Bold chewy feel with some toffee and caramel. The alcohol is smooth and not as raw as when sampled fresh. Conditioning really adds to the easy going high end feel.
Drinkability: Not so much heat in this aged version, but it still has a big ass-kick that manages to portray its near double-digit strength. A good late-night sipper.
Overall: 4 years gone and it is doesnt really show any flaws; this 2002 offering reflects its maturity now rather than its hot-headed youth. What impressed me the most was the prevalent humulus content; it is still high end with a lovely hop kick that manages to neatly keep the alcohol and sweet malts in check. Good stuff.

Overall I very much enjoyed this beer. I had a cellared 22 oz bottle. Very spicy and smooth in taste. Great amber/orange color in the glass. A nice head that stuck together through the whole drink. Very strong aroma of alcohol and wood (oak?). The wood flavor also comes through. I assume this is from the barrels it passed through.
I tasted this along side a 2003 and a 2004 Old Gaurdian and I must say that this 2002 was my favorite of the three.

Red amber color, medium color. Intense malt flavor, nicely balanced by a spicy hoppiness. A big full-bodied barley wine. Full flavor. Big expansive beer, yet very smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is malty sweet with a touch of bitterness. Really nice barley wine. Will probably bottle age well. Etched beer bottle.

The best barley wine beer so far that I've ever tasted. Well balance, with a hint of carmel and a hint of raisn's. Good balance of sweetness, alcohol and bitterness. Also I like the balance of malt and hop's. Love the thickness of this beer. Easy to consume and very enjoyable!

A- about a 1/4" tan head on a deep amber body that is a bit clear but a bit cloudy (clearest one out of 00-02). Has a little bit of a lacing in the middle with a nice white collar and a decent amount (for the collar size) sticking to the side of the glass.
S- Caramel malts play a big part in this one with a helping of alcohol. Really sweet and hops maybe consist of citrus and grass mixture. Maybe even a slight roasted smell? A bit of fruit too but not a lot.
T- A nice blanket of caramel malt is laid down with the stiching being a nice light roasted flavor. On top of this we have a good deal of sugar making it really sweet. Alcohol comes into play next covering the tongue. Has a nice kind warming to it the kind you would hope for on a nice cold autumn night. Some light citrus flavors come in after that. Maybe some light grapefruit, lemon, and orange. A nice bitterness acts like the sky for all of this (it is there but not intruding on anything just giving it light so you can see everything). Maybe even a hint of darker fruits come into play. All of this is very smooth and delightful. There is also a nice light oak flavor through all of this too.
M- Low carbonation making for a very smooth and appealing strong brew. It has just the right body to put all this big complex and well blended flavors on also.
D- This is an excellent brew. Not quite a 2000 but it does out due the 2001. Has a lot smoother feel to it. Not quite as harsh and is more welcoming (but be careful since that can bite you in the ass quite quickly too).
This may be my most elaborate review yet.

This beer poured an amber color with a medium head and some lacing on the glass. The aroma was malty with some hints of fruit and possibly caramel underneath. The taste was a little more smooth than most barley wines. It was bitter at first but mellowed out after a couple sips. The alcohol is evident in the flavor, but not overwhealming. Usually, barley wines are too strong for my palate, but I would have this one again.

Ruby brown, with a nice longlasting tan head. The aroma is saturated with heavy malt upfront. But the citrusy hop aroma is boldly present as well. Pretty sweet on the front of the tongue. Followed by a strong bitterness. The finish is extremely bitter. In my opinion, this beer isn't perfectly balanced now, but with a couple years of aging, the hop bitterness should mellow and you will be left with an excellent barleywine. I will report back here, in two years!

The folks at Stone have a Midas touch. This barley wine is lovely to say the least. Nice dark amber color and off white head. It looks and smells a lot like the Arrogant Bastard but not as piney or citrusy. The tast is unmistakably Stone. Nicely malted but not cloying. A different hop profile than their other ales but delicious nonetheless. A really rich creamy mouthfeel and without that overpowering alcohol taste that you can get from some of the other barleywines. This is a very well crafted brew that should appeal to a wide audience, even those that are not big fans of the barleywine style.
The bottle (always a joy to read) explains that this year's version uses all Warrior hops instead of the previous Tomahawk. Not being familiar with previous vintages I can't say if this is an improvement or not but it's hard to imagine a better brew. I bought one bottle as a taster but I'll be back to the store soon to load up. This big beer is worth laying down in the cellar for a while.

"Limited Spring '02 Release!!", bought online, served 52F, reviewed 52F-65F.
The head is a dense, cream-colored foam that collapses to a thin film with minimal lacing. The color is a slightly opaque red/brown, with orangey highlights. There is little visible carbonation.
The smell is sweet with grapes, alcohol and candy. There are hints of caramel and a slight creaminess. The front is sweet and creamy. The middle is alcohol and grapes with tons of malt. As the beer warms, that creamy flavor kicks in. The finish is generously hoppy with hints of grapefruit. The mouthfeel is thick and smooth.
This is a great tasting beer. It comes off a little sweet, but with such generous hopping, it's probably better that way. The alcohol is well hidden making this a lot more drinkable than I expected. Dangerously drinkable. It reminds me of Bigfoot, but I think it's smoother, rounder and warmer. A delicious, big beer.

Another good one from Sam at the Stuffed Sandwich.
Poured into a large wine glass. Pours a very nice redish orange color with a small off white head. The head falls pretty quickly leaving a small ring around the glass. No lacing at all.
Citrusy, cherry aromas are strong with some spicy hops. Smells nice.
Caramel flavors are evident as well as sweet malts. The backbone of this beer is definitely the fruity citrus and cherry tones. Spicy hops leave a bit of well balnced bitterness.
Full bodied. The hop spice is just right at the swallow. Maybe a little dry.
This is a nice sipping style beverage. You could drink a couple of these, but you're better off slowly enjoying it. These beer has aged well.
By the way... Be cautious on your pour. You may get a big pile of yeasty sediment in your last pour!
I learned the hard way.

In tonight's Healthier Me, while influenza cases are spiking, so are cases of the stomach flu.
Dr. Kirsten Juhl: "Viral gastroenteritis is not the same as influenza. Both are caused by viruses. Respiratory influenza is what you get the flu shot for; it causes coughing and possibly pneumonia. The other bug causes diarrhea and vomiting and ... that kind of illness."
Covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough and good handwashing will help prevent the spread of both illnesses.
Whether you have the stomach flu or respiratory influenza, doctors recommend staying home for 24 hours after symptoms disappear so you don't spread the infection, and they remind you that dehydration is a big concern if you have the stomach bug.
Keep in contact with your doctor if your symptoms persist, and don't spread the germs to others by going to hospitals and clinics when you don't need to.

Many seeking massage therapy for stress release or as a pleasurable pastime have shied away from the deep tissue variety. Spas that offer massage therapy are popping up everywhere. Each one provides a long list of various massage techniques to choose from. Opposed to Swedish and Thai traditions, deep tissue massage is often associated with that "hurts so good" experience that isn't quite for everyone. But why do some flock to it? Does it have real benefits for the body? How do you know when you need a good deep tissue experience? And why does it hurt so darn much?
Pressure Points
Deep tissue massage triggers pressure points that alleviate pain, improve circulation, release endorphins and aid the detoxification process. Pressure points play a vital role in all of the above. Our general understanding of pressure points stems from ancient Chinese medicine. These points, which run along the major body systems from head to toe, help move life energy through the body when triggered. There are over three hundred pressure points in the body; most of which are sensitive when pressure is applied. The magic happens when pressure is placed in these target areas. Many receiving massage therapy report that after initial soreness, their muscles are more loose, agile and they report a general sense of feeling more energetic and balanced.
Loosen Up
Deep tissue massage also loosens tight muscles, coaxing them out of their holding patterns. Repeated actions can cause our muscles to create a memory–actions that derive from daily habits such as hunching over a computer screen, lifting heavy objects, or even rigorous exercise routines. Day after day our bodies assume familiar positions and our muscles take notice. They adjust in response to make these patterns more comfortable. As a result, we develop knots where our muscles contract repeatedly. Deep tissue massage can help our muscles "unlearn" these patterns, release, and return to a more normal state of rest.
Tear Down The Build Up
Some blame lactic acid for the soreness and pain that follows a deep tissue massage. While the connection between lactic acid and muscle soreness is still disputed, massage therapists are hip to the release that massage can provide. The idea is that routine and strenuous exercise create a build-up in the muscles. Massage therapy helps release that build up by getting the blood and oxygen flowing. Toxins are released and passed through the system and out of the body. This process can create soreness. It's important to drink lots of water after a deep tissue massage to help aid the flushing out of junk your body doesn't need.
Deep tissue massage also activates the drainage areas of the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are responsible for removing waste from your system. When your lymph nodes are in their optimum working condition your immune system skyrockets leaving you less susceptible to disease and fatigue. Most kinds of massage will cover these areas, aiding in detox and keeping them in tip top shape. Have the inclination to help others with deep tissue massage? Consider enrolling in massage therapy classes to start helping others release their tension and pain.
Jazmine Green lives and writes in Los Angeles, CA. As a wellness practitioner, she recommends massage therapy classes to serious students seeking a career in health and wellness.

Woman says she's certain suspect shot her babyBy RUSS BYNUM
The Associated Press | March 24,2013BRUNSWICK, Ga. The mother of a baby gunned down in his stroller says she has no doubt a teenage suspect is the one who killed her 13-month-old son, but family members say he wasnt anywhere near the scene.
Thats definitely him, Sherry West said Saturday when she saw the jail mugshot of 17-year-old DeMarquise Elkins, who is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. Police also arrested a 14-year-old who has not been identified because hes a minor.
Were trying to determine which one actually was the shooter, said police spokesman Todd Rhodes.
But West said she was certain the gunman was the older suspect. He killed my baby, and he shot me, too, she said.
Thursday morning, West was pushing Antonio Santiago in his stroller after a trip to the post office. She said a teen, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money.
And he kept asking, and I just said, I dont have it. And he said, Do you want me to kill your baby? And I said, No, dont kill my baby! she said.
One of the teens fired four shots, then walked around to the stroller and shot the baby in the face.
Police announced the arrests of Elkins and the 14-year-old Friday afternoon. But Elkins older sister said her family knows he wasnt involved in the shooting.
My brother wasnt anywhere near that area as far as we know not the scene or the shooting, she said Saturday. She said she didnt know whether Elkins had a lawyer.
He couldnt have done that to a little baby, she said. My brother has a good heart.
She said her brother had been living in Atlanta and returned to Brunswick only a few months ago. Typically, he would come by her house in the morning and theyd go to breakfast. But Friday morning, police came to her door as her brother was approaching along the sidewalk.
The police came pointing a Taser at him, telling him to get on the ground, she said. He said, What are you getting me for? Can you tell me what I did?
On Saturday, police released recordings of three 911 calls made by Wests neighbors right after the shooting.
One caller, sobbing, tells the operator she heard three gunshots. The woman says she saw the mother lay the child on the ground to try to revive him with CPR.
Yes, I heard the shots. Somebody shot this child, the caller said. Shes got him on the ground. Please, we need everything we can get.
One caller solemnly tells an operator: No, the babys not breathing. He says the child was shot right between the eyes.
A woman can be heard screaming in the background just before police arrive and sirens drown out her cries.
No callers reported seeing the shootings, and police said the three calls were the only ones they knew of.
At her apartment Saturday, West had filled several bags with her sons clothes and diapers to donate to charity. She said she hopes prosecutors pursue the death penalty in the case.
My baby will never be back again, West said, sobbing. He took an innocent life. I want his life, too.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

The San Antonio-based Rackspace, which helped launched the increasingly popular OpenStack, said students will be able to "learn in weeks what it takes others years to master." The Academy is located in the Weston Centre in downtown San Antonio and encompasses a full floor, with four classrooms, a lounge, a testing space and instructor offices.
Four learning tracks are being offered: Linux Sys Admin, Software Development, Cyber Security and Network Security. Courses will range from six to eight weeks, and the company said about 91 students have enrolled in a free pilot training program. The regular fee is expected to be about $3,500 per track. Rackspace is expected to hire about a third of the graduates, and said it eventually hopes to offer the training online.
'Huge Opportunity'
The company has previously received a $2.5 million job training grant from the Texas Workforce Commission, in connection with Alamo Colleges, to train 1,000 new and current employees in cloud skills, and it will be hiring the new workers in San Antonio, Austin and Dallas over the next two years. The grant is also being used to create a new online curriculum about cloud-based technologies.
The cloud era, said Rackspace Chairman Graham Weston in a statement, "represents a huge opportunity" but requires a specific skills set to be fully realized. Cloud technology can help companies "reduce IT costs and become more agile," he said, but, unless they have properly trained personnel, "organizations are missing the boat."
In its announcement, Rackspace pointed to research by the Manchester Business School and Vanson Bourne, including a company survey Rackspace had commissioned, that found 66 percent of responding businesses are looking to increase their cloud-related IT skills. However, 56 percent were not aware of any courses to increase the skills of IT professionals. Additionally, the research found that 43 percent of companies were finding it "difficult" to hire IT pros with the requisite cloud computing skills.
'Catching Hold'
OpenStack is an open-source cloud operating system that controls computing, storage and networking resources in a data center, and is managed through a dashboard. It is designed to be used on standard hardware and to accommodate a massively scalable cloud-based system. Recently, IBM announced that all of its cloud services and software would be based on OpenStack, a major endorsement for the platform. Other corporate backers of the OpenStack Foundation include AT&T, Canonical, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Rackspace, Red Hat, Cisco, Dell and Yahoo. (continued...)
