text: After a few spins of this disc it does not take long to figure out that Fifth Angel were head and shoulders above the majority of metal bands from the 80's. An album that really did not embrace the two popular genres glam and thrash was missed by the majority of metalheads. Displaying technical ability, a penchant for songwriting, and memorable but simple riffs Fifth Angel estalished a cult following that still remembers the potential of this overlooked band. Guitarist James Byrd turned out to be something of a guitar wizard playing amazing leads while Ken Mary went on to drum for Alice Cooper, House of Lords and other notable musicians. Not surprisingly Fifth Angel turned out to be comprised of consumate musicians with an understanding of melody and song composition.Fifth Angel kicks it off with a metal anthem "In The Fallout" which is followed by the inspired and intense "Shout It Out". Vocalist Ted Archer shows tremendous emotion and versatility throughout the album while the guitar talents of James Byrd shine on every track without going overboard. .The strongest track on the album "Fifth Angel" brings it all together with a great verse rhythym and an anthemic sing-along-chorus as the Fifth Angel comes to the rescue of those who call.Two of the better tracks "Cry Out The Fools" and "Fade To Flames" are gems that have to be heard to be believed. The riffs are far from standard and the emotion can be felt in every song. The lyrics are intelligent and the band overall borders on progressive power metal. There are some metal cliches with pinched squeal harmonics and chunky palm mutes but overall the music is in a class by itself.The fact that this disc is being re-released despite lack of popular support over 15 years ago should make a case for it's strength. If you missed it before, don't miss it again. This is flawless metal.

Armbrecht Jackson LLP
PO Box 290
Mobile, AL 36601
(251)405-1300 / firstname.lastname@example.com
Ben received his Juris Doctorate and graduated cum laude in 2003 Samford University, Cumberland School of Law. He also received a BS in Finance (with honors) in 2000 from the Auburn University. Since graduation, Benjamin has become partner at Armbrecht Jackson has concentrated his practice to areas of general civil litigation, with an emphasis on real property, business and construction litigation, oil and gas, and probate matters. He frequently handles pro bono matters on behalf of the Mobile VLP.
Ben is active in several organizations, including the Mobile Bar Association, where he has served in several capacities. He is involved with the American Bar Association, Alabama Defense Lawyers Association, Defense Research Institute and is currently vice president of the Federal Bar Association. His community involvement includes Past Treasurer of the Mobile Auburn Alumni Club, past member of the Board of Directors for the Dearborn YMCA, Youth Sports Coach for the past four years, member of Ashland Place Church and various other clubs and societies. Recently Ben was selected for Mobile Bay Monthly's Top "40 Under 40" and as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers. He has also received a Pro Bono Certificate of Achievement from the South Alabama VLP.
The attorney and graduate of the Leadership Forum who recommended Ben said, "I have known Ben Ford for well over ten years, and I practiced law with him for several years at Armbrecht Jackson LLP in Mobile before my family and I moved to Birmingham. In fact, I helped recruit Ben to my former firm, and he was an exemplary clerk, associate and partner. I consider Ben a good friend, and I also know his family and know that he is an outstanding husband and father. He would be an outstanding addition to Class 9 of the Leadership Forum. When we hired Ben, he immediately got involved in the community and took a leadership role in the Mobile Bar Association Young Lawyers Section. Ben is one of the finest people I have ever had the honor of calling my law partner, and I recommend him highly for Class 9 of the Bar's Leadership Forum. He understands what it means to be a servant leader and the absolute necessity to use your position as an attorney in your community to help others and to give of your time and your abilities."
In his own words, Ben says, "I believe that my generation has been persistently fed from an early age that the path to achievement and happiness is through individual gain and selfish desires. This injustice, I believe, has created a generation of inward-thinking young professionals. Many of these young professionals lack the sense of community responsibility that older professionals know is essential for a society to properly function. Our communities will potentially suffer as a result. For example, the lack of young adults in community organizations and my local bar has resulted in an overextended and 'aged' stock of leadership. Anyone who attends one of our monthly bar meetings will quickly notice that the overwhelming majority of attendees are senior lawyers. Likewise, most community/charity boards are stocked with older members of society. Individuals will be needed in the very near future to fill leadership roles. While experience obviously plays a part in one's valuable participation, I think that if young adults had the right mindset – i.e. that out-ward-oriented, positive actions benefit society and provide personal fulfillment – and were given the requisite leadership skills, young adults could make equal or greater contributions to good causes. With that in mind, I believe that I have the right mindset, social skills and business qualities to build on the contributions that I believe I have made. I strive to always act in a manner that is befitting of lawyer's role as an officer of the Court and servant of the community. As an officer of the Court, I try to maintain as many formalities as possible, which include simple (and often unpracticed) things such as punctuality, returning calls and correspondence promptly, and being civil at all times. I also practice the belief that while one owes his or her client zealous advocacy, one should always attempt to listen and consider an adverse party's position as if one were the judge. I truly believe that my rounded thinking in certain situations resulted in benefits to all parties, attorneys and the Court. As a servant of the community, I have never turned my back on anyone looking for legal advice or assistance. I have discovered that so many individuals lack knowledge of not just legal matters, but basic life issues, and that problems can be solved with simple, quick assistance. Beyond simple matters, I have handled numerous pro bono matters in conjunction with the South Alabama VLP. I can honestly say that through the VLP, I have helped out many individuals who would have otherwise been out-of-luck. I believe my most important contribution to the community has yet to be fully realized. Nevertheless, I am in a good position to build on the contributions that I have made thus far and achieve my full potential. I have several years of experience in a distinguished law firm that encourages community involvement. I was born and raised in Mobile, and therefore, I have significant contacts throughout the Mobile community, and I believe that I am generally well-liked and that people value my acquaintance. I was also raised among diverse and forward-thinking people, which has given me the ability to positively interact with people of different background, races, religions, etc. I can say, without hesitation, that the viability of a society becomes threatened when responsibility to one's self, family and community, is ignored. The responsibility to the community is greater for lawyers and professionals because we have the resources to actively dictate the course the community will take. I accept this responsibility and desire to maintain and better the health of my community. If I do not do all that I am capable of, I have not fulfilled my duty. I believe that I have the right mindset and the requisite skills to continue to make positive contributions to the legal profession and my community. Through the Leadership Forum, I hope to acquire the encouragement, contacts, and fine-tuned skills to allow me to maximize my potential and fulfill my responsibility. I also desire to maintain relationships with other like-minded members of the State Bar who I can positively influence and who can positively influence me, and who can act as a resource in the future."

How one company took to Facebook to promote its music festival and the lessons it learned along the way.
Whateverz Klever Presents (WKP) is a new event planning and promotional company that is competing with the larger, more experienced companies to promote and run its own three-day music and arts festival. The company's budget was limited, as was its time - so it took primarily to Facebook to promote the event. Here is an account of what WKP has been able to accomplish and the lessons learned along the way.
Create a Facebook Ads Application
Ads were created using simple band logos and actual pictures of individuals attending similar types of events. The ads targeted people with corresponding interests and who lived within 500 miles of the upcoming event site. The messaging was simple and asked people to join and "like" the festival or the featured band in that particular ad.
Create Customized Banners
WKP created customized banners for every band to use as their timeline image with a simple incentive. A fan would see the image on a band's fan page that read, "Go to http://www.impulsefestival2012.eventbrite.com and enter the Coupon Code 'PAPADOSIO' for a 10% discount." The bands also got involved by creating an event (which featured their set time during the festival) for their fans to RSVP to, thus creating an online community for the band as well as the festival.
Fans of the event page also received incentives if they invited and shared with their friends. If one person invited 1,000 people to a particular event that had been created, they received a 25 percent discount. Since shares, "likes," and comments can be tracked, this was a simple approach that resulted in over 55,000 unique relative invites on the Facebook pages.
Multiple Event Pages and Groups
WKP created an official event page and a few event-related groups. One group was created for all those interested in promoting the event (aka, the street team); they would post images of posters, flyers, and stickers being distributed around town. Another group was created for the visual artists, food vendors, etc., which would serve as a place for general discussion and to encourage more fans to become knowledgeable about the art and cuisine. Both of these groups generated a feeling of exclusivity and helped with the overall excitement of the upcoming event.
Contests to Create Buzz
WKP incorporated a contest on its event page that resulted in three lucky fans winning VIP or general admission tickets to the event. Fans had to share an image posted by WKP and tag at least three friends. The fan with the most shares and tags would be the recipient of two tickets to the event. This contest and its corresponding incentive proved to be the most successful and resulted in over 3,000 shares in a 48-hour period - a viral "snowball" effect.
Hidden Code on Website
WKP watermarked an alpha-numeric code and entered the code on its new website design. It ran a contest where individuals had 24 hours to find the code to win a pair of tickets to the event. This contest ran for two days and resulted in over 25 percent of the total unique visits to the site.
Paying Facebook
Facebook now offers "Promote this post" at the bottom of a post on a fan page. WKP purchased $5 to $10 from Facebook to promote certain posts or stories from its event page. This gave WKP a guaranteed amount of impressions and broke down the actual interaction into impressions, clicks, and new "likes." This has proven to be 5,250 percent more effective than traditional Facebook advertising.
Lessons Learned
Impressions were absolutely worthless to WKP. The company wanted a guarantee on clicks to truly determine if people were paying attention to its campaigns.

Selena Gomez And Demi Lovato Have A Dinner Date
Aww! Selena Gomez and her BFF Demi Lovato had a dinner date recently in Los Angeles, California! The pair were spotted at Tequilas Restaurant and they were nice enough to chat with fans during their meal!
It's interesting that now that Selena is getting back together with Justin Bieber she's spending more time with Demi Lovato and less time with Taylor Swift. Even though Selena and Taylor did hang out once recently we're wondering if the pair have slowed down their friendship because they can't agree on whether or not Selena should be dating Justin…
If that's the case, Demi is the perfect friend for Selena to be spending time with since she doesn't seem to have an opinion on Justin!

text: I just had a quick question about the rules for the amnesty clause. Is a team allowed to amnesty a player, then re-sign him for a smaller contract to save money on the luxury tax? For example, let's say the luxury tax kicks in at $60 mil and the Bulls' salary is at $70 mil. For the first $5 mil over the tax, they pay $1.50 per dollar, or $7.5 mil total. For the next $5 mil, they pay $1.75, or $8.75 mil, for a total of $16.25 mil in tax, and a grand total of $86.25 mil. Would the Bulls be allowed to amnesty a player, say Carlos Boozer who makes about $14 mil per year, then re-sign him for a million? They'd still be paying him the full $15 mil, but it would take their salary down to $57 million, plus the $14 mil that they still pay Boozer from his old contract, which doesn't count against the tax, and they'd save a cool $15 million in luxury tax payments. Would that be legal under the CBA, or is there something that I'm missing here? Of course, they'd be running the risk that Boozer could just turn around and sign with a different team for more money, then they'd be stuck paying him $14 million per year to not play for them, but you can trust a guy like Carlos Boozer to keep his word, right?

The difficult and often unpredictable task of performing root canal treatment with hand instruments is being replaced with motorized LSX® nickel-titanium instruments (Fig. 1). These instruments were specifically developed for the veterinary dentist to use when treating canine and feline patients and they have enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of root canal treatment.
Because LSX instruments are engine driven and operate at 2500 RPM they work faster and are more efficient in cleaning and shaping the canal walls. The non-tapered round canal shape created by the instrument conserves dentin while creating a larger apical preparation that is more conducive to irrigation and disinfection of the canal. Chemical irrigation and disinfection of the root canal is accomplished using alternating solutions of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hypochlorite or chlorihexidine solution. Canal irrigation can be aided by vacuum (suction) to remove the canal debris with the irrigation solutions.
After instrumentation and disinfection, the canal is filled with a sterile material. Most canal filling materials contain Gutta Percha (GP) a rubber-like product. GP Apical Plugs® (Fig. 2) match the LSX instrument sizes and when used with the recommended sealer they provide a more predictable fill and seal at the apical termination of the root canal (Fig. 3). The remainder of the canal can be filled with the operator's choice of sealers and GP material. A restorative product is then used to seal the coronal access to the root canal.
Dental radiographs are an integral part of root canal treatment and they are used throughout root canal treatment to verify canal length as well as instrumentation. Radiographs taken at completion are used to verify root canal fill (Fig. 4) and for future use when verifying success of root canal treatment.

I am hoping against hope that Donnie does not strike out with the Big boys, but if he does then Wilson Chandler has got to go.
If Donnie strikes out then his only alternative is to build around Gallo. Now if Bosh leaves Toronto and we do not get him, Brian Colangelo might decide to cut some costs namely Andrea Bargnani. Wil Chan would be attractive, for the following reasons, The only reason they signed Bargnani long term was to entice Bosh to stay, they are unhappy with Hedo, wil Chan is in his walk year and if he plays well they can resign him for less money or package him in a trade for draft picks or other assets, or if he stinks he has effectively removed 10 mil off their cap for the next 4 years. Now While Bargnani is not a Franchise Center and has not lived up to his hype, he is more than serviceable. 17. 2 points 6.2 Rebs and 1.4 Blocks while averaging 35 min a night. Now Bargnani is scheduled to make 8 mil next year so the diff would only add 6 mil to the Knicks cap for 2010-11. If they resign Lee at 10 pull off a trade for Sessions 3.9 mil, Sign Ronnie Brewer 4 mil, sign Tyrus (TT Boy) Thomas 4 mil. That would give you
Pg Sessions/Douglas
Sg Brewer/Walker (I like the defense/Offense here, Brewer can straight up guard people.
Sf Gallo/ Brewer/ TTboy
PF Lee/TTBoy
C Bargnani/Barron
Of Course there is a chance that Bosh could re-sign if he does Bargnani's value goes up to Colangelo and he will not trade him, but if he doesn't there could be a fire sale up north and Donnie should use Wil and see if he can get a 7ft 25 yr old Italian Center who Colangelo likes but is not in love with, to pair with his 22 yr old Italian Small forward who Walsh is in love with.

We all want to feed our families the safest foods possible. That's why it's a good idea to plan your meals carefully and choose the safest foods available. The following shopping and meal planning tips will help:
A balanced diet keeps children in tip-top shape so their organs and brain develop normally and their bodies remove toxins as efficiently as possible. Adopt The New Green Diet.
Some of the most toxic food contaminants accumulate in meats, fish, eggs, and dairy products, especially those that are high in fat. You needn't abandon these foods altogether, especially since they contain essential nutrients. However, in preparing and cooking:
Many fish species contain toxic contaminants, including mercury, PCBs, and dioxins, that are linked to cancer and brain damage.
Certified organic foods have been grown and processed without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. See Where to Find Organic Foods
According to the Environmental Working Group, these include eggplant, cabbage, kiwi fruit, asparagus, sweet peas, mango, pineapples, sweet corn, avocado, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet potato, honeydew melon, and onions.
By doing so, you'll help to remove surface chemicals.
The American Academy of Pediatricians Policy on Breastfeeding recommends that infants be breastfed for at least one year. If you do use formula, refer to Healthy Child's "Safer Formula Shopping Guide."

STAGE TUBE: Woman Sues OU to Reclaim Stolen Artwork by Nazis
A woman in Paris is suing the University of Oklahoma's Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art to try to retrieve a painting.

It was stolen from Raoul Meyer, a Jewish businessman in Paris, during the Nazi occupation of France.
Leone Meyer is suing OU to recover the painting, but OU officials are refusing to return the work. The painting was part of a collection of impressionist art over the decades.

Independent's Eye by Joe Gandelman
HILLSBORO, Missouri — What if a state held a non-binding Presidential primary and the current front-runner for the Republican Presidential nomination wasn't on the ballot? That'll happen in Missouri on March 17 and just weeks ago the always correct (except when it's wrong) conventional wisdom insisted this illustrated how former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had no "ground game." And so, it was implied, Gingrich was doomed in his battle against his prime challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Until now.
If you've been woken up with a "BOOM!" it was the sound of the conventional wisdom imploding.
The catalyst was the demise of former Godfather's CEO Herman Cain's candidacy as the anti-Romney in hardline conservatives' ongoing battle with the Republican Party's center-right establishment. Then came the (in)famous ABC Yahoo debate where Gingrich solidified his status as the party's best debater. And I'll bet Mitt Romney three White Castle hamburgers plus a baggie of my toenail clippings that Romney's challenge to bet Texas Gov. Rick Perry $10,000 that Perry was wrong about what he claimed Romney said in his book gave Romney the image of someone born with a silver flip-flop in his mouth.
How could the conventional wisdom fail? Because it feeds on itself.
Often smug pundits who do cable shows, write political stories, or write columns (like me) read or listen to each other which creates an unintentional group narrative reinforced by a) narrative-compatible polls and b) the pundits' confidence in their own analytical abilities. It's less an echo chamber than disciples repeating a Guru's mantra with supreme faith in the end result. If a conventional wisdom narrative fails it's seldom acknowledged and discreetly discarded.
The new CW line is that Romney is a 2011 version of the 2008 Hillary Clinton hampered by his state healthcare plan, not his Iraq War stand. Actually, Gingrich is a 2011 version of the 2008 John McCain who seemed politically dead yet but made a fool of the conventional wisdom by getting the Republican nomination in the end.
Gingrich is a highly intelligent, charismatic quote machine bursting with ideas (some of them lousy) who takes glee in negatively defining and demonizing foes. The conventional wisdom underestimated his appeal since Romney was more of a 20th century GOP candidate, has a huge campaign chest plus impressive GOP establishment support. Gingrich is the GOP's 21st century Tea Party movement and talk radio political culture candidate. In fact, he helped shape the polarizing, confrontational talkers' style and mega-partisan politics we all "enjoy" today.
Some top conservative talk personalities are now alarmed by Gingrich's ascent because they fear The Old "Bad" Newt (circa 1992) could re-emerge, commit political suicide by mouth and blow their party's chance to defeat the job-approval-challenged President Barack Obama. Ann Coulter is a virtual Romney surrogate. Glenn Beck calls Gingrich too progressive. Michael Savage even offered Gingrich $1 million to drop out because among other things, he wrote on his website, in Presidential debates Gingrich "will come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is: a fat old white man."
Actually Savage should have offered Gingrich money to quit and be a historian: after all, Gingrich says he got paid at least $300,000 for that before (it wasn't lobbying, you see). If Romney had a sense of humor he'd bet Savage a can of his hair spray that Gingrich won't drop out.
This is no laughing matter. Gingrich is a supremely polarizing figure who'd turn off moderates, many independents, non-liberal Democrats, and further divide a divided country. Even some who worked with him suggest his temperament and ego are scary for the Oval Office. Pollster Whit Ayres to The Hill: "Those who know him best are not his strongest supporters." But he tops Romney in South Carolina and Florida polls (big-time) just as polls show Romney doing better against Obama.
The pundits' and Democrats' conventional wisdom now is that Gingrich could be nominated but will likely self-destruct so there's little chance he can REALLY be elected President.
Given the conventional wisdom's recent accuracy, Gingrich might want to contact Tiffany's and see if they make Presidential seal-themed office drapes.

First off, I am aware of 3 amazon plugins for WP - WP Amazon, AMM and CG-Amazon, but from what I can gather none of them seem to match my requirements...
This is what I need:
- List of books/films on sidebar (counts out WP Amazon I think)
- Uses UK Amazon website (Counts out CG-Amazon)
- Allows more than one category to be displayed on sidebar (e.g. books, films) - this counts out AMM at the moment.
Does anyone know a way to get round this? Or any hacks for those plugins I mention?

Sean Miller is out as the baseball coach at Menifee Heritage and has been replaced by Scott Montgomery, Heritage athletic director David Drake said.
The move was made to satisfy the so-called "Rialto Rule" which is an Education Code that gives a hiring preference to on-campus teachers. It stems from a hiring controversy that arose over a basketball coaching job at Rialto High in 1992.
Miller was an off-campus coach, while Montomery – who was Heritage's first baseball coach – teaches chemistry at the school.
"We had some teachers on campus who were interested and so, according to policy, we had to re-open it," Drake said. "Scott applied along with another teacher and so Sean stepped away because he knew he was not going to be rehired."
Miller has moved to La Quinta and is now an assistant at Shadow Hills.
"It's unfortunate," Miller said. "I was told in June after we had already started the summer program. "Somebody said it was because of the Rialto Rule and I get that. But when I was hired I had talked to the administration about the future and wanting to stay a long time, so it caught me off guard."
Montgomery, 38, served two stints as an assistant at Menifee Paloma Valley and was the coach at Heritage in 2008 and 2009. He was removed as coach after the 2009 season over what he described as a "difference of opinion." He would not elaborate.
The team went 13-12 that season.
"He was let go as the baseball coach over issues that I am not privy to," said Drake, who was the athletic director at Colton at the time.
Added Drake: "He remained as the girls golf coach here and he's also assisted at Paloma Valley and he's been well-liked and I've found him to be a reputable coach and we thought he warranted a second opportunity."
Scott Moore replaced Montgomery and went 20-9 in 2010, but resigned following the season, paving the way for Miller to take over. Heritage went 15-10 under Miller in 2010.
Montgomery played at Perris High and Chapman University. He is hoping to improve the level of play at Heritage.
"I'm excited to be back as coach," Montgomery said. "I want to build a quality program that will be competitive year in and year out and that will have a reputation for producing quality young men."

Samsung button layout
Are we just going to ignore the button layout on samsung devices? Everybody is complaining on the htc one two button layout but what about samsung? I'm not talking about the hardware buttons (that I actually like) I'm talking about the useless menu button and the back button in the wrong area. I understand samsung wants this to become as a sort of staple for samsung devices but this is absurd. I wish everybody would just adapt the android guidelines of "back,home,multitask" whether it is with hardware, capacitive or on-screen buttons.

HotLink® Corporation, the market leader in transformation solutions for heterogeneous virtualization management, today announced the latest release of its flagship product, HotLink SuperVISOR™ for VMware vCenter -- the only technology to extend VMware vCenter management capabilities to Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (KVM). The new version enables automation solutions, such as VMware vCloud Director and PowerCLI, to directly support multi-hypervisor resources through their existing interfaces to VMware vCenter without requiring other consoles or integration points. Version 2.0 of HotLink SuperVISOR lets VMware vCenter serve as a multi-hypervisor administration and integration hub, dramatically reducing the complexity of deploying, administering and managing heterogeneous private clouds.
The patent-pending HotLink Transformation Engine™ is the unique enabler of hypervisor interoperability, allowing IT organizations to standardize on VMware vCenter for administration and management across heterogeneous hypervisors. With the 2.0 release, the transformation technology and integration with VMware vCenter have been extended to the VMware vCenter ecosystems of compatible products so they can leverage VMware vCenter as the single point of integration for both VMware and non-VMware resources. This eliminates the complexity of deploying additional consoles, integrating with multiple APIs, or embarking on time-consuming and expensive professional services engagements.
"Like most enterprises, Flextronics is looking for the best ways to leverage multiple hypervisors to economically increase our capabilities. However, the day-to-day complexity of integrating and managing multiple infrastructure types has been a significant barrier," said Dave Smoley, CIO of Flextronics. "The ability to utilize our existing VMware vCenter management solution for cross-platform resources is very compelling."
The new capabilities of HotLink SuperVISOR for VMware vCenter 2.0 include:
- Deeper VMware vCenter integration — Enhancements enable VMware vCenter infrastructure to be natively utilized for administering, provisioning and managing multi-hypervisor resources in cloud-based environments. This eliminates the need for users to deploy multiple consoles and enables full-featured, heterogeneous administration and management through VMware vCenter.
- Expanded metadata collection — Extensions to HotLink transformation technology enable VMware vCenter compatible automation tools, such as vCloud Director and PowerCLI, to easily support heterogeneous resources using VMware vCenter as the multi-hypervisor integration hub. This dramatically reduces the complexity of deploying and managing heterogeneous private cloud implementations.
- Support for Amazon EC2 — The latest release is interoperable with HotLink Hybrid Express for fully unified management of all on and off-premise cloud-based resources. Users can seamlessly and intuitively expand private cloud deployments to include Amazon EC2 resources, using VMware vCenter as the single point of administration and integration.
- Expanded platform support — HotLink SuperVISOR 2.0 adds support for VMware vCenter 5.1 and Microsoft Hyper-V 2012, enabling the functional and operational enhancements these versions provide.
- New free version — HotLink SuperVISOR for VMware vCenter is now available in a free edition with support for three hosts and fifteen virtual machines. Users can immediately benefit from the HotLink technology in smaller multi-hypervisor and private cloud projects and expand usage over time.
"Going from one to two or even more virtualization platforms creates an integration and management nightmare since you need a unique management stack for every variation of the infrastructure. The net result is dramatically increased complexity and impaired IT agility," said Bernd Harzog, analyst at The Virtualization Practice. "The HotLink technology enables one consistent set of management tools across multi-hypervisor deployments without obscuring the functionality that differentiates these platforms. This is a giant leap forward for the industry."
Lynn LeBlanc, CEO and founder of HotLink, said, "Enterprises have many business and financial reasons for deploying heterogeneous virtual infrastructure in both traditional and cloud-based environments. On a practical level, the integration, administration and management of diverse platforms have always been hugely problematic. The ability to standardize on a single virtualization management solution, VMware vCenter, while seamlessly incorporating other virtual infrastructures is a powerful proposition, and HotLink is the first and only to deliver it."
Availability and pricing
HotLink SuperVISOR for VMware vCenter 2.0 is available now in both the free and standard editions. Standard edition list price starts at $26,700. For more information, contact [email protected] or visit www.hotlink.com.

Sympathetic Innervation of Human Mesenteric Artery and VeinBirch D.J.a, b · Turmaine M.c · Boulos P.B.b · Burnstock G.a
aAutonomic Neuroscience Centre, and bDepartment of Surgery, Royal Free and University College Medical School, and cDepartment of Anatomy, University College London, London, UK Corresponding Author
Background: Innervation of blood vessels shows inter-species variability. There are few studies on the innervation of human vessels; thus, healthy mesenteric vessels were studied to identify the expression of immunomarkers and the morphology of sympathetic innervation as the basis for a study of mesenteric vessels in inflammatory bowel disease. Methods and Results: Electron microscopy studies examined the relationships of nerves to smooth muscle cells. In veins, nerves were distributed throughout the medial smooth muscle coat, often in close apposition (50 nm) to smooth muscle cells. In arteries, nerves were located at the adventitial-medial border, few closer than 2,000 nm to smooth muscle cells, often with interposing connective tissue and Schwann cell processes. There was a significantly greater nerve density in veins than in arteries (227 vs. 41 mm2; p = 0.03). Immunohistochemical studies revealed the presence of sympathetic and sensory-motor nerves in arteries and veins. Conclusions: It is suggested that in humans with an upright stance, the mesenteric venous system plays a particularly important role in controlling mesenteric capacitance, which is reflected by their dense innervation. It is speculated that transmitters released from perivascular nerves supplying the human mesenteric arteries may play a long-term (trophic) role in addition to short-term signalling roles.

Perivascular nerves supply the smooth muscle of human mesenteric blood vessels, working with the endothelium as part of the 'dual control' mechanism to control blood flow to the organs [1]. The nerves are primarily sympathetic, containing noradrenaline (NA), adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) as cotransmitters [2, 3]. Sensory-motor nerves [4] and projections of nerve fibres from the enteric nervous system may also be present [5, 6].
Studies of vessels from the guinea pig have shown a wide variability in the response to nerve stimulation in vitro [3,7,8,9,10], perhaps related to the non-synaptic nature of vascular neuromuscular junctions with variations in the width of the junctional cleft [11]. At the extreme, guinea pig mesenteric arteries were responsive, whereas the renal arteries were not [12]. Ultrastructural differences were identified between these vessels, which may account for the difference in response, including a wide neuromuscular gap and the presence of interposed connective tissue in the non-functional group. Inferior mesenteric neurons projecting to mesenteric arteries are distinct from neurons projecting to mesenteric veins [13].There are surprisingly few published morphological studies on the innervation of human vessels. However, light microscope immunohistochemical descriptions of the innervation of human mesenteric artery are available [14], and a functional study showed that the magnitude of the vasomotor response induced by perivascular nerve stimulation was larger in the vein than in the artery [15]. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the ultrastructural relationships of the nerves and smooth muscle in human mesenteric arteries and veins and the expression of immunomarkers for neurotransmitters commonly found in perivascular nerves that may relate to their responsiveness and to provide control information for studies of the innervation of human mesenteric vessels in inflammatory bowel disease.
Materials and Methods
Human mesenteric specimens (n = 6 for artery and vein) were obtained at the time of surgery in patients operated on for non-inflammatory conditions, the majority for left-sided cancer of the colon and rectum. Informed consent for the procedures was obtained using a standard consent form.
The mesenteric specimens (approximately 3–5 mm in diameter) were immediately placed in ice-cold Hanks' solution and transported to the laboratory. Mesenteric segments were taken from parts furthest from the lesion being excised, close to the bowel wall, to avoid interference with the lymph nodes in the specimen that are examined by the pathologists to obtain prognostic information and to ensure that these specimens represented healthy tissue.
Segments of artery and vein were carefully dissected from the specimen using a dissecting microscope. These segments were dealt with in 2 ways: segments (5 mm long) were placed in cold Krebs' solution for immunohistochemical analysis, and other small sections were fixed in a freshly made solution of 2% glutaraldehyde and 2% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer, prior to processing for electron microscopy (n = 3). Corresponding sections of artery and vein were kept together, to allow comparison of vessels from the same part of the mesentery.
Segments of mesentery were removed in the operating theatre and immediately placed in cold Hanks' balanced salt solution. The marginal vessels or vasa rectae of 1–3 mm diameter were then dissected free of excess fat and connective tissue and slit longitudinally. Segments were fixed for at least 2 h in 4% paraformaldehyde. When fixed, the stretched dimensions were retained. Specimens were then washed in phosphate-buffered saline and stored at 4°C until processed.
Whole-mount segments of mesenteric artery and vein were stained using a standard indirect immunofluorescence technique. Briefly, background staining was reduced by incubation in normal donkey serum (1:10) for 2 h at room temperature. Rabbit-derived polyclonal antibodies to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), NPY, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), nitric oxide synthase, choline acetyltransferase (for acetylcholine), 5-hydroxytryptamine or protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) were applied for 36 h in a humid chamber at room temperature, using concentrations as shown in table 1. After washing 3 times in 0.1% Triton in phosphate-buffered saline, biotinylated donkey anti-rabbit antibody was applied for 2 h. After further washing, streptavidin-fluorescein was applied for 1 h. Specimens were again washed prior to counterstaining in Pontamine sky blue. This has been shown to reduce background fluorescence [16]. Sections were then mounted on glass slides in Citifluor, an anti-fading compound (Citifluor Ltd., London, UK).
|Table 1. Details of antisera
The slides were viewed on a Leica TCS 4D confocal microscope (Leica, Heerbrugg, Switzerland) using an objective magnification of ×25 (unless the nerves were too fine to be seen at the initial magnification, when ×40 objective was used). Three representative fields were then recorded, having set the depth of tissue scanned ('z-series') to include all visible nerves in each field. The z-series and the projected image were then stored digitally on optical disk.
The digital images were analysed for the total fluorescent area, which is proportional to the total number of nerves within bundles, using Scion image analysis software (NIH, USA). Images were converted to negative black-and-white format. The greyscale level that demarcated the boundary between the background and the nerves was chosen individually for each image and converted to a binary image, which was subjected to the process of 'closing', which has the effect of removing small background speckles up to a predefined size. The total fluorescent area of nerves in the visual field was measured for each of the immunomarkers and expressed as a percentage of that for PGP9.5 (taken as the total nerve population).
Corresponding segments of mesenteric artery and vein were obtained from the vessels directly entering the bowel wall (the vasa recta). Specimens were transferred to a solution of 1% osmium tetroxide in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer for secondary fixation, after which they were stained en bloc with 2% uranyl acetate in distilled water and embedded in Araldite resin. Ultrathin sections were then cut. Secondary staining was performed with 4% uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The sections were viewed on a JOEL 1010 transmission electron microscope (JOEL Instruments, Akishima, Japan). The location of perivascular nerves was determined using both low and high power to discover the relationship of the nerves to the vascular smooth muscle and other components of the vessel wall. To quantify the nerve densities of the vessels, each image was examined and the number of nerves counted. The total area of the adventitia and the media was then determined (in mm2), and the number of nerves per millimetre was calculated.
The general neuronal marker PGP9.5 was used to visualize nerves within arteries and veins. In the arteries, nerves were distributed at the junction of the adventitia and the media, close to the external elastic lamina (fig. 1a). In the veins, nerves were distributed throughout the muscular layer of the media (fig. 1b).
|Fig. 1.a, b Confocal images of transverse sections of human mesenteric arteries and veins. Perivascular nerves stained for PGP9.5 (green) can be seen. In the artery, nerves are located at the adventitial (A)/medial (M) border (arrowheads). Note the well-defined external elastic lamina. In the vein, nerves are distributed throughout the media. L = Lumen. c–f Confocal images of whole-mount preparations of human mesenteric arteries and veins. The longitudinal axis of the vessels is from top to bottom and the nerve bundles are orientated longitudinally. Immunostaining for PGP9.5 (c, d) and TH (e, f). Scale bars = 100 μm (a, b), 50 μm (c–f).
The nerve densities of the 2 vessel types differed significantly. In the arteries, the mean nerve density was 41/mm2, whereas in the veins, the density was 227/mm2 (p = 0.03, paired t test).
Nerves immunoreactive to PGP9.5, TH and NPY were identified in arteries and veins (fig. 1a–f, fig. 2a, b), orientated longitudinally in arteries (fig. 1a, c, e, 2a), whereas in the corresponding veins, nerves formed a reticular pattern (fig. 1b, d, f, 2b). Nerves immunoreactive to VIP were identified in both arteries and veins (fig. 2c, d), although at a lower density than with staining for TH and NPY. Sparse substance P immunoreactivity was also identified in most control arteries and all veins, the nerves being very fine with well-defined varicosities. Nerves immunoreactive to CGRP were seen in most arteries (fig. 2e) but in none of the veins (fig. 2f). Immunoreactivity to 5-hydroxytryptamine was occasionally seen in arteries and more often in veins of a low intensity. No nerves immunoreactive to nitric oxide synthase or choline acetyltransferase were identified in either arteries or veins. The percentage of nerves immunoreactive for the various immunomarkers, as a percentage of PGP9.5, are shown in table 2.

|Fig. 2. Confocal images of whole-mount preparations of human mesenteric arteries and veins. Immunostaining for NPY (a, b), VIP (c, d) and CGRP (e, f). Scale bar = 50 μm.
Nerves were identified by electron microscopy. In both the arteries and the veins, they appeared as unmyelinated fibres, with a number of nerve profiles enveloped within a single Schwann cell sheath. Vesicles could be seen in many of the nerve profiles (fig. 3b).
|Fig. 3.a High power view of an endothelial cell (E) in a human mesenteric vein in close association with underlying smooth muscle cells (sm) in the intima. A dense connective tissue matrix is present. L = Lumen. b Medial-adventitial border of a vein showing the lack of an external elastic lamina and the close apposition of nerves, some containing granular vesicles (gv), within the adventitia to the medial smooth muscle without collagen (col) interposed. Sch = Schwann cell process; Ax = axon. Scale bars = 2 μm (a), 1 μm (b).
The nerves in the veins were situated throughout the muscular media as well as at the adventitial-medial border. In many of the images, the nerve fibres approach the muscle cells and are seen to be in close apposition (fig. 3b, 4b, c). In some of the veins, capillaries of the vasa venorum were present. These sometimes appeared to be related to nerve bundles (fig. 4a). The intima was thickened, with sub-intimal connective tissue and smooth muscle cells (fig. 3a).
|Fig. 4. Electron micrograph of the media of human mesenteric vein. a The wall of the vein appears to have a less organized orientation of the smooth muscle (sm) compared with the artery, though this may relate to the state of contraction at the time of fixation or because of the presence of the vasa vasorum (vv); within the blocks of smooth muscle cells, there is less collagen (col) and elastic material than between smooth muscle cells in the artery. Capillaries (cap) of the vasa vasorum are often found in the inner media, which is sometimes associated with small nerve bundles and Schwann cells (see higher magnification micrograph in c ). b A section through the media showing substantial collagen between the blocks of smooth muscle cells. A nerve bundle (arrow) is present. c High magnification of nerve fibres containing granular vesicles (gv) in close apposition to smooth muscle cells with no Schwann cell processes interposed. Scale bars = 2 μm (a), 3 μm (b), 1 μm (c).
In the mesenteric artery, there is a well-developed fenestrated external elastic lamina separating the medial smooth muscle cells from the adventitial connective tissue (fig. 5a). Perivascular nerves in the arteries were often outside the external elastic lamina (fig. 5b). Nerve profiles were rarely seen closer than 2 μm to the smooth muscle. Many nerve bundles in the adventitia were surrounded by collagen (fig. 5c). The smooth muscle cells of the arterial media are orientated in a circular fashion, with intercellular connective tissue (fig. 6). The intima in these vessels was thickened, due to subendothelial connective tissue deposition. Within the connective tissue, randomly orientated intimal smooth muscle cells were identified.
|Fig. 5.a Electron micrograph showing the adventitial-medial junction in a human mesenteric artery. Smooth muscle fibres (sm) in the media are separated from the fibrous adventitia by a well-defined external elastic lamina (eel). The adventitia contains collagen (col), bundles of longitudinally orientated elastic tissue and capillaries (cap). b Electron micrograph showing a nerve fibre (arrow) largely enveloped by a Schwann cell process in the adventitia close to the arterial external elastic lamina. The external elastic lamina is reminiscent of a 'net stocking', but the nerve fibre is not on the medial side. A fibroblast-like cell (f) is interposed between the connective tissue and the medial muscle coat. c Axon fibres (Ax) within a nerve bundle in the arterial adventitia with its associated Schwann cell (Sch) are embedded in collagen. Scale bars = 4 μm (a), 2 μm (b), 1 μm (c).

Human mesenteric veins were much more densely innervated than the corresponding arteries. This is of interest since, in general, arteries are more heavily innervated than veins [10, 17]. These vessels also had a thick muscular media. Human mesenteric veins play a particularly important role in controlling mesenteric capacitance in man related to their 2-legged stance compared with 4-legged stance in experimental animals [18, 19]. The high nerve density may reflect the need for fine control of their tone.
In this study, using immunohistochemistry, arteries and veins were shown to have a dense nerve plexus of PGP9.5-immunoreactive nerves. PGP9.5 is a general neuronal marker, although more recently, it has been shown that PGP9.5 might underestimate the total neuron number and there is evidence that the pan-neuronal markers Cuprolinic blue and anti-HuC/D may be more reliable neuronal markers, at least in the gut [20]. This is further supported by the fact that in mesenteric vessels, greater immunoreactivity to NPY was found compared with PGP9.5. Dense plexuses to TH- and NPY-immunoreactive nerves were also found, indicative of sympathetic nerves; the presence of positively stained nerves of CGRP and substance P indicate the presence of sensory-motor nerves, although at a lower density than that of sympathetic nerves.
Vasoconstriction in response to nerve stimulation has been reported for both the human mesenteric artery and vein, although the responses were greater in the vein than in the artery [15]. The constriction was shown to be mediated by sympathetic nerves, involving NA, ATP and NPY as cotransmitters. This is typical of many mammalian vessels [3]. NA and ATP are known to cause constriction of human mesenteric arteries and veins [21], although NPY, while inducing vasoconstriction of human mesenteric veins, failed to constrict arteries. However, it did reduce nerve stimulation-evoked [3H] NA overflow from the mesenteric vein, indicating both a pre- and postjunctional effect [21].
It has been previously noted that some blood vessels, whilst possessing varicose noradrenergic nerve fibres, show difficulties in producing responses to nerve stimulation in vitro, using standard stimulation parameters [12, 22]. The guinea pig renal artery is such a vessel. In these vessels, the nerve varicosities were separated from smooth muscle cells by wide neuromuscular spaces containing cellular and other connective tissue elements. Responsive vessels, such as the guinea pig mesenteric artery, had narrow neuromuscular spaces of as little as 50 nm, with little more than the basement membrane separating the varicosities and muscle cells. Although the walls of the human mesenteric arteries are thick and muscular, typical of resistance arteries, nerves were usually outside the external elastic lamina and there were often large amounts of connective tissue, fibroblasts and processes of other cell types between nerve profiles and the muscle. This is reminiscent of features of guinea pig renal arteries. In the guinea pig, mesenteric arteries have a substantial response to nerve stimulation [12] and are responsible for about one third of the total mesenteric vascular resistance [23].
The anatomical relationships to fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in the mesenteric arteries studied raise questions about the role of the nerves. In addition to a role in controlling vascular tone, a trophic role has been proposed. Some mature tissues are known to be under trophic control of their nerves. In the heart, the normal development of cardiac muscle is dependent upon an intact sympathetic nerve supply [24]. It appears that ATP and its breakdown product adenosine, rather than NA, may be the agents responsible for this effect [25, 26]. In blood vessels, collagen synthesis increases in blood vessel walls after chemical sympathectomy [27], indicating that nerve activity has an influence on vessel wall structure. There is also evidence that the sensory innervation of blood vessels affects the expression of vasoactive substances by the endothelium [28]. Sensory denervation increases the sympathetic vasoconstriction in rat mesenteric arteries, an effect that is thought to be due to long-term trophic changes in the vessels [29]. Much has yet to be learned about the possible trophic effects of neurotransmitters in addition to their role in vasomotor effects on the innervated smooth muscle.
In conclusion, this study has revealed the presence of dense sympathetic innervation in human mesenteric arteries and veins, in addition to the presence of sensory motor nerves. The nerve density was significantly greater in the veins than in the arteries. It is suggested that in humans with an upright stance, the mesenteric venous system plays a particularly important role in controlling mesenteric capacitance, reflected by their dense innervation. It is speculated that transmitters released from perivascular nerves supplying the human mesenteric arteries may play a long-term (trophic) role in addition to short-term signalling roles.

A CHARTERED accountant and former chief executive of Wrexham FC who was jailed for defrauding his business partners has failed to convince leading judges to free him.
Paul Gerard Retout, 53, of Graigadwywynt, Ruthin, conned his partners at a London-based accountancy company out of nearly £60,000 during 2007 and 2008.
He pleaded guilty to fraud and was jailed for 16 months at Kingston Crown Court in Surrey last September.
Yesterday, he appealed, complaining that the sentence should have been suspended, but his case was dismissed by three Appeal Court judges.
"Having considered the submissions we are not persuaded the sentence should have been suspended," said Mr Justice Griffith Williams.
"The frauds were committed by a professional man. They were committed in serious breach of trust.
"They were carefully planned to deceive his partners. They were carried out over a two-year period for his personal gain."
The court heard Retout worked for the London firm from his home in Denbighshire and submitted invoices to be paid.
After discrepancies were noticed in his payments, an investigation was launched and, although he initially denied wrongdoing, he finally admitted guilt.
He pleaded guilty on the basis that he had submitted four dishonest invoices in 2007 and nine in 2008, obtaining £59,806.
His conduct was not fraudulent from the beginning and he had carried out other legitimate work during those years, the court was told.
Retout appealed on the basis that the sentence should have been suspended, allowing him to serve it at home.
He was of previous good character, was not guilty of violent offending and had suffered for four years while his case was investigated, he said.
But Mr Justice Williams, who heard the appeal with Lord Justice Jackson and Judge Brian Barker, said the sentence was justified.
"In our judgement there was a high level of culpability," he said.
"The mitigation was properly reflected in the length of the sentence and it was not such as to justify an order for suspension."

NORMAL, Ill. -- Civic and business leaders from Normal held an event Friday to tout the economic and environmental benefits of renewable energy.
Normal is one of 91 Illinois cities or towns using Community Choice Aggregation to deliver power to one hundred percent of its residents and local businesses.
As a result Normal has been designated an E-P-A Green Power Community.
The event was attended by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D - IL) who called renewable energy an engine for economic growth.
"The commitment to renewable and sustainable energy is a commitment to new jobs," said Durbin. "New manufacturing jobs. We are going to put people to work. We now have 6,000 people directly or indirectly in the wind power industry."
And according to Town of Normal councilman Kevin McCarthy that job creation has a local impact.
"That's supporting local jobs," McCarthy said. "That's supporting our local economy, local economic development , building new projects right here in McLean County and inside the state of Illinois."
Currently 1.7-million people in Illinois get their electricity from renewable sources.

Burns is out to repay Tindall in Bath derby
Posted: February 28, 2013|
FREDDIE Burns owes Mike Tindall a big debt of gratitude and is determined to start paying it off at Bath tomorrow.
When Gloucester centre Tindall joined Bath straight from Wakefield's Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Burns was just seven years old.
Some 16 years later, tomorrow the duo will line up in Gloucester's midfield at The Recreation Ground, a place that holds special memories for both England internationals.
Gloucester fly-half Burns credits Tindall with helping him develop into a top-class playmaker.
And as Tindall gears up for his 150th competitive Cherry and Whites bow, Burns is ready to help England's most-capped centre make it a night to remember.
Bath-born Burns used to jump the fence at The Rec, dreaming of one day turning out for his beloved Blue, Black and Whites.
Combative centre Tindall was one of his first rugby heroes, and now 22-year-old Burns still cannot quite believe the duo are team-mates.
Gearing up for tomorrow's pivotal Premiership clash (kick-off 8pm), fit-again Burns paid tribute to 34-year-old Tindall's staying power, racking up eight years at Gloucester after the same number at Bath.
Burns said: "You can't fail to get excited for Bath-Gloucester.
"I was born two miles from the stadium, I used to sneak into games, jump over the fence and stand in the crowd and watch these West Country derbies.
"Playing in these games at The Rec is something I always dreamed of as a kid – but I never really thought it would be in a cherry and white shirt!
"It's a huge achievement for Tins. Going back to those days when I used to watch Bath as a boy, Tins was playing for Bath.
"To be playing alongside him on his 150th cap, it's an honour for me to play there too and be part of that.
"He's helped me massively in my career, so it would be great to be able to make it a memorable day for him."
Gloucester can register their third-straight Premiership double over bitter rivals Bath tomorrow – but will have to hit back from the humiliation of Bath's 32-5 Kingsholm triumph on February 2.
That LV=Cup hammering might not have affected Gloucester's league standing, but Burns admits it has dented Kingsholm pride.
He said: "There's always a different atmosphere to West Country derbies, there's always that little bit more venom in the chants and the 'eeyores' from the crowd.
"So as a player you've got to relish that environment, and I quite enjoy the fact we'll be down there and the majority of the crowd will be against us.
"We'll have a big travelling contingent, don't get me wrong, but it's 23 boys in the squad looking after each other, and it's a great atmosphere to play in.
"As players you can do one of two things: you can shut it out and stay focused, or you can embrace it and let it spur your performance.
"I'm definitely the sort of player to let it all in – you try to milk the atmosphere to your advantage.
"I don't mind a bit of banter with the crowd which is nice.
"I'll just relish it, and hopefully if we're playing well then it's all a bit rosier.
"Each to their own: some boys will want to let it all go, some players will shut everything down if they make a mistake and try to shake it off.
"If I make a mistake, I am furious with myself, but I try to laugh it off – because that's how I get over mistakes, get past them and regain composure.
"Last year at The Rec I missed a kick in front of the posts right on the edge of the 22, so you can't let it eat you up, you've got to move on quickly."
Burns believes Gloucester must harness the hurt from that 32-5 Bath humbling – but not be consumed by it.
He added: "We were dominated in every aspect, and it was embarrassing. But the boys know they have a chance to put it right."

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–3–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Former Bomber greats wow fans in pre-game ceremony
Investors Group Field has been done up right by the dignitaries and legendary players.
And soon it will be up to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes to really christen the place.
A half hour pre-game show to open the new football facility in south Winnipeg Thursday night, co-hosted by Chris Walby — one of the greatest to ever wear Bomber colours — and Laura Lussier, was capped by a very cool moment for the club's long faithful:
Legendary receiver Milt Stegall catching a perfect spiral from Matt Dunigan and then racing to midfield to bust through a gold ribbon.
The opening ceremonies featured all the usual pomp and circumstance, including a historical video montage accompanied by the University of Manitoba orchestra and bag pipes, and some of the folks instrumental in getting the facility built like David Asper and Mayor Sam Katz. There was a video message from former Bomber head coach Mike Riley from his office at Oregon State and a number of ex-players, including Lyle Bauer, James Murphy, Bob Cameron, Trevor Kennerd, Paul Bennett, Brett MacNeil, Rod Hill, Paul Robson and Pepe Latourelle were all on hand at centre field, along with Canadian Football League commissioner Mark Cohon.
The loudest cheers came with Ken Ploen, wearing his old No. 11, entered the stadium with the game ball, capping up the Kickoff Run that weaved through the province and for Stegall, who had the place hopping as he bounded down the field in full uniform.
And, predictably, the Montreal Alouettes received a chorus of boos as the entered the stadium.

Great small condo/hotel in the heart of Playa
Review submitted: June 9, 2011 Date of arrival: March 11, 2011
lue Pearl Suites is a great place to stay when you want to be just a block away from the beach and 5th Ave. We stayed in one of their 2 bedroom units with some of our good friends and loved the location. The hotel staff is great, Julio is the manager and he provided fantastic recommendations for places to visit and eat.
The only potential downside depends upon your perspective. Its one block south of 12 Norte which is the corner with several clubs that play music into the early morning. With the windows closed and the A/C going it didn't bother us, and we liked the proximity to 5th and the beach, plus the clubs were fun for a couple of nights.
Overall I'd highly recommend the Pearl. The roof top pool is quiet and a nice view of the ocean, and with only 8 unit in the bldg it was never busy.
We plan on returning on our next trip.

First off, Julio is such a great manager and he makes you feel at home. Very accommodating...you can really relax here! He's a great resource for recommendations on food, travel, shopping, etc. Do your own research beforehand and then ask him what his take is.
The place is a bit close to the club scene, so a light sleeper such as myself had a rough time falling asleep. To counter the noise (which ends promptly @4AM) I turned up the Fan/AC unit along with a white noise app on my phone. That did the job and I was no longer bothered by the noise. If you want a place that's off the beaten path but close enough to where you'll want to be, you've found it here! The beds are quite firm, but it was not obnoxiously firm. If you like a super soft bed, you'll want to bring a cushion or something.
The views from our place were breathtaking. There's a rooftop area that's a shared space with the other condo residents, but only once was there ever anyone else on the roof...we had it to ourselves, which was great. There's a nice shallow pool up there as well, with great shade and lounge chairs to soak in as much sun as you'd like. The view is even better up here as you can see it all. Truly breathtaking!
The place is very tastefully decorated with some nice homey touches that only added to our enjoyment. My wife and I shared the place with another couple and we are already talking about our next trip to Playa. It'll definitely be here at the Blue Pearl. Julio, thanks again for being so gracious and understanding!

Beautiful rooms, fantastic location!
Review submitted: September 10, 2010 Date of arrival: March 26, 2010
We just got back from our vacation last night and couldn't wait to write about it! The Blue Pearl Suites are perfect if you're traveling with your family, friends or looking for a romantic getaway! The Suites are way more private than a regular hotel..We arrived the last night of spring break and i must say, the suites are so private (8 units in all) we never heard anything crazy going on..Weather you are in a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom suite, the room are more than spacious and the amenities were fantastic. It was like a home away from home (full kitchen, microwave, hair dryer, safe, etc) except better.
The rooftop pool is gorgeous with an ocean view..and the beach is less than a block away...If you need a gym, there is one 2 blocks away with everything thing you need plus classes (spinning, aerobics, yoga & pilates).
The best part of the blue pearl suites? Julio, the suites concierge..From the day I booked the suites Julio helped me with tour recommendations, airport transportations..anything at all you need..He has great knowledge of the city and surrounding areas and will help you anyway he can to make sure you have a great trip. I felt much better knowing Julio was around for help if I needed..We are already planning a trip back very soon..

Review submitted: September 10, 2010 Date of arrival: April 12, 2010
We just returned from our 10 day trip to Mexico. We started our stay spending 2 nights at The Blue Pearl and we are so glad we did. From the moment we walked into our room I was so happy. We stayed in suite 7 with a group of 6 people. Perfect! The room was 2 stories with 2 bedrooms and 2 couches. Free wi-fi. The suite was exceptionally clean (and I am picky) and the service was impeccable. It has a view of the beautiful sea and is right in the middle of town. Super convenient. Parking was several blocks up at a pay garage but your really don't need a car if staying at this hotel because you are right there in the midst of it all. Starbucks is only a couple blocks away as well! The hotel roof pool is gorgeous and we were the only ones that used it. Small kitchen and bottled water is there. Don't think twice, put this place on your place to stay. We spent the following week at our big, fancy time share resort (The Mayan Palace). I much preferred The Blue Pearls location and accommodations to the big resort. It was hard to leave. Oh, and check out the restaurant right downstairs for breakfast - yumm!
