One of the primary reasons UFC welterweight king Georges St-Pierre has put a blockbuster bout against middleweight champ Anderson Silva (Pictured) on the backburner is because he wants adequate time to properly pack on the additional pounds required to face the game's most decorated fighter. Because when the inevitable time comes to make the jump, GSP plans on leaving the division he's ruled for six years in his rear-view mirror forever. Well, it appears Silva is willing to make things easy for St-Pierre by completely eliminating the weight obstacle from the equation. "The Spider" won't even request the 178 pound catchweight that's been rumored. According to UFC President Dana White, "The Spider" is willing to shed the 15 pounds required to challenge St-Pierre for his 170-pound crown. "Anderson would go to [170], too," White revealed following Wednesday's press conference in England. "Yeah, he said he'd do it. He says he can make [170] easy. It's insane." White's statement is quite bizarre. Typically, as fighters get up there in age – Silva clocks 38 in exactly two months, so he's no spring chicken – they tend to move up in weight rather than down. In addition, Silva hasn't competed at welterweight since losing to Yushin Okami at "Rumble on the Rock 8." He weighed 174 pounds for that January 2006 contest. Since the disqualification defeat, Silva has dominated the middleweight class while sprinkling in three light heavyweight scraps. The Brazilian's sporadic dabbling in the 205-pound division is why most thought the superfight with reigning light heavyweight champion Jon Jones had a greater possibility of coming to fruition than with GSP. White's hoping for all of the above. "I'll take either one, and both," White stated. Meanwhile, St-Pierre defends his throne against Nick Diaz at UFC 158. Silva plans on marinating until the spring, with Chris Weidman emerging as the frontrunner to score next dibs at his crown.

Mystery surrounds the men accused of hijacking the Arctic Sea.
According to Russian investigators, the Arctic Sea, a Maltese-flagged ship owned by a Russian-run Finnish firm, was hijacked near Sweden by the eight men one day after setting off from the Finnish port of Pietarsaari on July 24, 2009 with a $2 million load of timber destined for the northern Algerian port of Bejaia. It supposedly fell off the radar for three weeks, when it was spotted off the coast of Cape Verde and rescued by the Russian navy.
Lawyers for some of the alleged pirates said they were being trained for an ecological mission, began taking on water and sought refuge with the Arctic Sea.
Neither story seems to tell the whole truth.
Mikhail Voitenko, a Russian naval analyst, was the loudest proponent of the theory that the ship was intercepted while carrying Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, after a tip-off from Israeli intelligence. The theory appeared to gain heft following a secret visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the wake of the scandal.
Reached by telephone in Thailand, where he has been living since fleeing Russia on Sept. 3 for fear of his life, Voitenko said that theory was the only possibility. "I don't think it, I know it," he said, citing two sources that he refused to name.
He said following the case of the alleged pirates was pointless. "They have no access to lawyers. We haven't seen the materials. We haven't seen any witnesses."
It's been nearly nine months since the Arctic Sea scandal came to a close with the alleged pirates' arrest. The global buzz surrounding the affair has all but died out.
The Arctic Sea has been sold to a Canadian company, according to Russian news reports. No one at Solchart, the ship's owner at the time of the alleged hijacking, would comment on anything related to the ship on Friday.
Voitenko said he has found out that Solchart is backed by an official who served in the GRU, the Soviet-era foreign intelligence agency, and that he is now trying to sell the company.
Meanwhile, the courts will keep trying the alleged pirates.
And life goes on. Gunta Savin, the wife of Dmitry Savin, one of the two men who pleaded guilty this week, had always maintained his innocence. She was pregnant when he set off to sea, and gave birth to their son in February. "We're in touch through letters," she said. "I sent him a picture."

It's a heck of a way to run a pre-election campaign. On the eve of an expected election, politicians usually spend their time playing up good news, downplaying the bad, shaking hands and kissing babies.
City council voted Tuesday to ban smoking in Churchill Square, despite concerns it will drive homeless people and troubled youths from the square. The ban takes effect immediately.

6. The Patent Wars Grind On
Some of the nastiest patent battles in 2012 were between mobile device makers, with Apple's lawsuit against Samsung drawing the most attention. But, it was hardly peaceful on the patent front in the software industry.
Oracle's suit against Google claiming infringement of its Java patents was the most visible case in 2012. While Oracle had sought up to $1 billion in damages, a jury concluded after a testy trial that Google's use of Java application programming interfaces in Android did not infringe Oracle's patents.
Other vendors focused on arming themselves for future patent battles. Microsoft paid $1 billion in May to buy 800 AOL patents, while Google acquired some 200 patents from IBM for an undisclosed sum in January.

Since I am getting ready to move I have found myself up against the age old problem of what to do with all my books!
I probably have over 500 books. They are of every type, shape and weight and are a giant pain to move. Each time I have moved in the past I have given a great many of my books away because it was senseless to keep them. After all, I am not reading all 500 of them daily. Books are one of the passions of my life, so I have a lot of trouble giving them away. The only comfort is in knowing that someone else will enjoy the journeys I have taken within the stories there. |

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release Start Date" field.
DEARBORN – It's taken less than a year for Quick Parts retail outlets to improve parts availability and successfully fill a void in the service industry in Export & Growth (E&G) markets around the world.
Together with its corporate cousin, Quick Lane, Quick Parts is providing rapid, quality service and, in the process, attracting new customers to the Ford brand. Steve Carnegie, service strategy manager, Ford Export and Growth, says 35 percent to 40 percent of the business at the facilities is from customers who own competitive-make vehicles. He said the outlets are also experiencing a combined 35 percent increase in part sales.
Unique to E&G markets, Quick Parts outlets are located in areas where parts availability is limited. The stores carry Ford- and Motorcraft-branded parts, Ford-branded accessories and Ford-branded merchandise. Competitive-make parts are made available if no Motorcraft application exists.
When the Quick Parts concept was developed, one of the goals was to improve Ford's market presence. Carnegie says the response so far has exceeded expectations. "The retail outlets are not only dramatically increasing parts availability, which benefits our customers, they're also attracting non-Ford parts customers, in the process providing Ford with a competitive advantage.
"Our expectation was that Quick Parts would help us retain customers who might go elsewhere if parts weren't available but also allow us to recapture customers we've lost and win over some non-Ford customers," Carnegie added. "That's happened, and we've been exceptionally pleased with how quickly customers have come to rely on us for their parts needs."
The first Quick Parts opened Nov. 30, 2011, in Honduras. Three more followed, in the Dominican Republic, Cambodia and Kuwait. Many more are on the horizon, primarily in Saudi Arabia where Al Jazirah Vehicles is in the process of opening 28 stores this year.
Additional stores are expected to open in Kuwait, Bahrain and Honduras by the end of the year. Among the markets targeted for growth are Nigeria, Angola and the United Arab Emirates.
Most of the retail outlets are owned and operated by dealers, and that trend is expected to continue.
Whereas Quick Parts stores are unique to E&G, Quick Lane service centers are the fastest-growing service brand in the United States, with more than 600 stores in North America. They can also be found in every Export & Growth region, but are concentrated in Ford Middle East, the Caribbean and Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Quick Lane was first introduced in E&G markets in Costa Roca in 2009; there are now 21 locations, the newest of which are in Puerto Rico and Guam.
The Guam Quick Lane is operated by the Triple J Auto Group. President and CEO Robert Jones said the staff is committed to the dealership's "Customers First" philosophy. "Our success since our 1984 founding is based on respecting our customers, providing good value and service and ensuring that they have an excellent experience with us. This new facility will enable us to further meet their needs."
Quick Lane offers routine vehicle maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, and light repair services. Backed by Ford, Quick Lane also provides a Vehicle Check-Up Report that helps monitor maintenance needs.
It's anticipated 33 Quick Lane facilities will be operating in E&G markets by the end of the year, including new locations in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Haiti, Honduras and Bahrain. Carnegie says the ones already open are experiencing significant sales increases this year.
Export and Growth provides sales, marketing, service, logistics, planning and financial support to dealers and distributors in four regions – Ford Middle East, Caribbean and Central America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia-Pacific.

Howdy! My name is Joey, and I live in Austin with my wife, daughter and dog.
I originally hail from West Texas, and work at the University of Texas.
We're easy-going folk, and enjoy meeting all the people that stay with us. We've met so many friendly, interesting, and intelligent people that come and stay with us, and we really enjoy the Airbnb experience.
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
Joey And Steph has completed online and offline ID verification.
I don't know why I would stay anywhere else in Austin. The house is well equipped and well located, just a few blocks from great restaurants and bars, but on a quiet, tucked away street. Joey and Steph are great hosts and they strike the right balance of being there when you need them and giving you space otherwise.
We enjoyed a marvellous two weeks staying with Joey and Steph recently. The house is extremely comfortable and, very importantly during an unseasonal cold snap, was super cozy and quick to warm up. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and really felt as tho we were in a "home away from home." This was a great introduction to AirBnB for us as we found the listing to be precise, detailed and completely correct in all respects; we also found the whole process of booking straightforward and easy. We will definitely try to stay with Joey and. Steph and their delightful daughter when we revisit Austin. The final pleasure for us was having Dozer in the yard to play with and pat!
Great cozy guest house in East Texas. Joey was great and the house was as listed. Very sweet dog and all the amenities for a nice homey visit. Thanks guys!
Our hosts were away at the time of our visit but they reached out via email to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. We had told them that we were coming to Austin, in part, for the great vegan food, and they thoughtfully suggested a few fantastic vegan places right in the neighborhood. The little house was perfect for three of us. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. And the location was great, we were able to quickly drive into town and to go for morning runs along Lady Bird Lake, a short distance away. Highly recommend!
My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Joey and Steph's. The guest house was wonderfully eclectic and immaculately kept. The location is great with restaurants and entertainment nearby. Steph was very friendly and always available to answer any questions. I would definitely stay there again!
This is a great guest house in a very hip and cool neighborhood. It was larger than we expected. It's really more like a one bedroom house. Everything was cleaned to a very high standard and everything smelled fresh and clean. The furnishings were all high quality and comfortable. There were lots of extra little touches that made our stay terrific. The hosts are really great people. They are extra-milers. They went out of their way to make sure everything was wonderful.
This home lives up to the photos and more. The zen environment is excellent for everyone. The home sleeps so many and they accommodate to little ones as well. They helped by putting starter snacks in frig which made our vacation off to the right start. So close to where you wanna be in Austin. No matter what you want to do it's just right around the corner. We will stay again and again.
Very welcoming and accommodating. Perfect location and great to have your own guesthouse with all the fixings!
We had a fabulous time at Joey and Steph's place! Not only was the place really spacious (could have easily slept 5 people!), clean, warm, cozy, and well-decorated, but Steph baked us fresh cookies and had food in the fridge for us in case we were hungry! It was wonderful. Easily one of my top airbnb experiences so far. To top it off, we're right in the heart of East Austin and blocks away from tons of restaurants and bars. Steph also had a very personal booklet of places to visit and see - which beats any yelp review. We would have walked everywhere if it weren't for us visiting on the coldest weekend in Austin history! :( Either way, we will be back and will definitely stay here again! Thanks Joey and Steph!!
We enjoyed staying at Joey and Steph's guest house! It was nicely decorated, the bed was great. The house had fast internet there were a few items in the frig to get us started. It is an easy walk to the main activities on 6th street. Gettting the keys and checking out was trivial. We will stay agin if we can next year!
Steph was simply a pleasure to communicate with and host. The best kind of guest- considerate, kind, and lovely. Steph, Joey and any family or friends they bring along are always welcome in my Marfa home!
Joey and his family were great guests. They're Airbnb pros who clearly appreciate the value of communication, which made coordinating a breeze. I'd highly recommend them to any other hosts!
It was a pleasure to host Stephanie, Joey and their guests. The house was cleaner after they left! Thanks for taking such good care of our place. We would welcome their return.
Steph and her friends were some of the best guests we've worked with. They communicated clearly and consistently as things came up, were flexible, and extremely restful of our space. We came home and found everything was just like we left it. We would welcome Steph and her friend back in a heartbeat!

Nearly 100 U.S. banks that got bailout funds from the federal government show signs they are in jeopardy of failing, reflecting eroding capital levels, a pileup of bad loans and warnings from regulators.
FDIC chief: Small banks can't compete with bailed-out giants
One of the mysteries surrounding the insolvent, and already once bailed out Spanish banking sector, has been why are reported bad loans - sharply rising as they may be - still as low as they are currently. Courtesy of the just completed bank earnings season, and a WSJ report, we now know why: it turns out that for the past several years, instead of accurately designating non-performing loans, banks would constantly "refinance" bad loans making them appear viable even though banks have known full well there would be zero recoveries on those loans.

Colorado Motorcycle Roads and Trips
For many motorcycle riders, exploring Colorado (CO) motorcycle roads is the ultimate motorcycle touring dream and perhaps the top most coveted motorcyclist destination in America. Many of America's most breathtaking stretches of the Rocky Mountains are found within this abundantly blessed state. Also, Colorado completely rolls out the red carpet for visitors and so riders will find a large array of amenities to take in when it's time to pull over and get off the bike. Some of the favorite motorcycle ride destinations are Durango, Rocky Mountain National Park, Aspen, and Silverton.

Bring Weather Reports to Your Desktop with Stormcloud
Productivity Sauce
In our neck of the woods, we talk a lot about the weather. Why? Because the Danish weather is pretty unstable, and it can be rather depressing at times. That's why many of us, including yours truly, are obsessively checking the current weather conditions and forecasts for the coming days several times a day. So for me a decent weather utility is a necessity. For the longest time, I've being using the Forecastfox Weather extension for Firefox and Weatherbug app for Chromium. But thanks to Stormcloud, I can now check the current weather by quickly glancing over my desktop.
This utility is not overloaded with features, but it displays the most essential weather info using a sleek interface. Stormcloud lets you choose between different measurement units and select the color that best fits your desktop. Installing the utility on Ubuntu is a matter of running the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cooperjona/stormcloud sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install stormcloud
Stormcloud is not the most sophisticated weather utility out there, but it looks good and does the job. So what's not to like?

Sarras | |
Lancelot-Grail Cycle location | |
Genre | Arthurian legend |
Type | Mystical island |
Notable characters | Josephus of Arimathea |
Sarras is a mystical island to which the Holy Grail is brought in the Arthurian legend. In the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, Joseph of Arimathea and his followers visit the island on their way to Britain; while there Joseph's son Josephus is invested as a bishop and shown the mysteries of the Grail by Christ himself. The party wins many converts, and moves on to Britain where they establish a great line of kings. After they achieve the Grail the knights Galahad, Percival, and Bors return the object to Sarras aboard Solomon's ship, but they find the residents fallen back to paganism. The Grail knights restore the people's faith and preside over them benevolently for a year, but Galahad dies in ecstasy when the Grail is taken to Heaven by God, and Percival follows him shortly after. Bors returns to Arthur's kingdom to tell the tale.
The Lancelot-Grail places the Sarras on the road from Jerusalem to the Euphrates and Babylon, and it is considered the origin of the name "Saracens" for Muslims. In reality "Saracens" was a Greek designation for Arab tribes of the Sinai Desert.

Instagram introduces clickable ads

The marketing potential in social networking sites is ginormous. But its future for retailers is anything but clear.
Though relatively new, the Internet concept of "social networking" already has more baggage than a 747. Teens gone wild! Companies firing employees over MySpace content! Predators on the loose! It's anarchy on the information superhighway!
And anyway, how can someone have 1,129 friends?
Nonetheless, cutting through the noise is the theory that social networking offers retailers a grand new venue for marketing their products and increasing brand awareness-if they can cut through all that noise. To date, the overwhelming response from e-retailing executives and industry experts, after they've scanned all baggage, is two basic questions. First, could social networking be another web fad, which launches with fanfare, gains a bandwagon of millions, then soon loses steam, winding up with a small but dedicated user base? And second, is the concept of blending social networking and the branding and marketing efforts of e-retailers even a good idea to begin with?
For the moment, a handful of retailers are experimenting with social networking in an attempt to answer these very questions and capitalize on the venue by getting in on the ground floor. These merchants, willing to take on what many industry observers call a risky proposition, are either setting up a "space" on one of the social networking giants like MySpace or Facebook, acquiring all or part of an existing network, or building a network of their own.
Whatever the approach, these retailers are taking a shot at an unknown marketing method that has gotten lots of attention and generated lots of theories, but so far has unproven results. "We have to listen and watch and think," says Boris Wertz, COO of Abebooks Inc. "Nobody has a recipe yet, so we plan to figure it out along the way."
Bibliophiles' files
Taking the acquisition route, Abebooks in May bought a 40% interest in 66,000-member social networking site LibraryThing, which launched in September 2005. Abebooks lists more than 80 million new, used, rare and out-of-print books from more than 13,500 booksellers. LibraryThing enables members to, among other things, catalog their personal library of books, the current total being 4.7 million. Members also can create themed groups where users with similar interests can meet; members created 415 such groups during the first week the functionality was offered in late July. The niche network charges members $10 for an annual membership or $25 for a lifetime membership.
Through searching and socializing on LibraryThing, members can find individuals with similar tastes or collections-medieval history, for example. These online relationships can generate interest among like-minded members to purchase online their own copy of a book they read about in another member's space.
Low-key communications to customers and members drive traffic from one site to the other. And LibraryThing continues its practice of including product links not just to Abebooks but to other e-retailers. These factors help ensure LibraryThing members continue to view it as a true social network, not a kind of concealed marketing tool for a single merchant, network executives say. In the overall social networking arena, industry observers say, many network members have a disdain for commercialization-hence Abebooks' cautious approach. In the end, LibraryThing gets more traffic and Abebooks gets more shoppers, as well as key information on product and shopping preferences via aggregate user data from LibraryThing.
Abebooks, however, wasn't really in the market for a social networking site. It was the potential synergy between the two companies, both of which focus more on used and rare as opposed to new books, that made Abe more social. "We did not first sit down and make a strategic decision to invest in social networking. Like many others we simply were watching this whole new space," Wertz says. "But then LibraryThing came to our attention. We asked the network's president to make a presentation to our senior management team, and that led to our investment."
If an e-retailer has a niche and offers great products, a social network can help it gain customers and sales, Wertz contends, and the organic growth rate for social networking sites in general is amazing.
The latest thing
The social networking phenomenon is quickly being embraced by the general Internet public, experiencing wild growth just like most new web-generated activities. Industry leader MySpace grew 230% from 15.6 million unique visitors in May 2005 to 51.4 million in May this year, comScore Networks Inc. reports. MSN Spaces grew 205% from 3.1 million to 9.5 million. And Facebook grew 102% from 6.9 million to 14 million. Other mass audience players include AOL Hometown and Xanga.com. "The popularity of social networking is not expected to wane in the near future," says Peter Daboll, president and CEO of comScore Media Metrix. "This is a phenomenon we're seeing not only in the U.S. but around the world."
As a result, retailers have become interested, seeing the latest web craze as a way to market goods and attract new customers. In addition to keeping a close eye on the general social networks, some retailers have begun thinking about niche networks that appeal to their customer base, as Abebooks is doing. Sensing opportunity in this interest, social network builders are popping up. Communispace.com, for example, builds retailers and brand name manufacturers invitation-only social networks, which the businesses can leverage as large-scale focus groups. Wetpaint Inc., which focuses on its own mass appeal network, is in talks with numerous retailers and marketers to do the same.
What social networking boils down to in the realm of e-commerce is viral marketing-the oldest and one of the best forms there is, says Leslie Ament, director of customer intelligence research at the Aberdeen Group. "Word of mouth is extremely effective because shoppers want to hear information they perceive to be trusted, credible and reliable straight from their peers. Enabling customers to speak with one another is key to driving business growth because they don't want to hear only corporate marketing messages," Ament says. "Customers who communicate with one another are more likely to purchase more and to purchase more often."

If we only have time for one museum in Athens, would you choose the Acropolis Museum or the National Archeological Museum?
Athens Museum Choice?
16 Replies | Jump to last reply |

I haven't been to the new Acropolis Museum so can't offer an opinion on that. I did want to say that if you decide on thenNational Archeological Museum then make sure you spend some time in the sculpture wing(s). Some of the sculptures are breathtaking,
Report Abuse
A difficult choice, to be sure, but I think the NAM will give you the most for your time spent.
Report Abuse
Between the two I would choose the NAM. You could have a quick look through the Acropolis Museum just before or after your visit to the Parthenon, though. They are very close together.
Report Abuse
The National Archaeological Museum is the biggest of it's kind in the world. It covers the ancient Greek Art throughout the centuries from Prehistory to the classical and late classical period.
Until January there is also an amazing temporary exhibition of the Mechanism of Antikythira. -
Report Abuse
IF your time & energy is short, Benaki is a great answer. It is VERY well curated ... the signage is wonderfully informative, and it goes for quality not quantity, i.e. instead of 3 huge rooms full of black or Red vases, it has 3 display cases only, with superb examples. It also has handy elevators. Thus u can "do" the entire museum in about 3 hours without feeling totally exhausted. One special plus is that it goes all the way from the Bronze Age thru the mid-19th century. The latter (on top floor) depicts the drama of long Greek fight for freedom from the Ottoman yoke ... So few foreigners explore that crucial aspect ...knowing about Greek struggle for independence after nearly 2000 years of invasion and rule by foreign powers gives insight into the nation's courageous resistance during the Nazi occupation.
Report Abuse
I preferred the National Archaeological Museum. There are so many wonderful pieces there. The New Acropolis Museum is nice, but unfortunately so many of the great pieces that should be there are in London.
Report Abuse
The New Acropolis Museum, is much more modern and "elegant", and its Architecture is simply stunning. There are Great exhibits, including the Parthenon Marbles and the Caryatides. It has a Great restaurant and it has a view on The Acropolis of Athens.
The National Archaeological Museum, is older but its exhibits are some of the most important for the whole Humanity. Frescoes from Santorini, The Antikythera mechanism, The mask of Agamemnon, Poseidon of Cape Artemision, Theseus Ring, Jockey of Artemision etc. It is in the Top 10 Museums of the World.
I just can't compare these 2 Great Museums, The one is for Acropolis of Athens, the other is for the Whole Greece. -

I'm a fan of the Benaki too, it's always charming to see this sort of personal collection and I loved the Ottoman interiors. However, some of the statuary in the National Museum is unmissable imho.
In case anyone is interested there was a fascinating article in the NYT this summer about how the Benaki is struggling with the budget cuts in Greece.

Re Clausar query about 2,000 years ... I count from what? 100 BC when Romans took over .. then the Saracens, Venetians, etc etc finally the Ottomans for 500 years ... thru 1829 for parts of Greece, but many of the Islands still under Turkish rule, Crete until about 1900++ not able to unite with the rest of Greece until 1912
As for Museums, I agree, impossible to choose and the N.A.M. has so many of the super-famous items ... My recommendation of Benaki was "if time & energy are short"... and I meant really short. -

Thank you all for your opinions. The Benaki is not open on the days we'll be in Athens which is why I've listed only the other two.

travelerjan thank you for the History lesson, but i am Greek.
What you wrote is simply not correct. -

If you are also visiting the Acropolis, a visit to Acropolis Museum is a must before going up the hill.You can see the original pieces from the Acropolis still in Greek possession. The routing of the exhibit is circular and straight forward. I also visited the National Archaeological museum yesterday. I think it made more sense for me visiting other parts of Greece first, then after having been told many times that the originals or the best collections are at the National Archaeological Museum and not at the museums at the archaeological sites.
Report Abuse
what is now considered unified Greece (what we know or think of as current day Greece) didn't exist until recently. I guess you have to determine what the 2000 year time frame is. As an ethnicity (greek) it was always greek but dominated unfortunately by foreign powers. maybe 2000 years is a bit of an exaggeration. but part of it is when rome split (the western and eastern roman empire and then fell to the Barbarians). this eastern region was under greek orthodoxy centered in Constantinople (but still greek). and any rate. the influence of the greek people has always meant the area of Greece was greek (even though they suffered invasion)...
but what do I know -
Report Abuse
Nanabee, my intention exactly. "Dominated by foreign powers." Did not mean 2000 years of Nazi-type occupation.

Application Performance Management for Virtualized Applications – the VMware vFabric APM Update
• • 2 Comments
As business critical applications move into production virtualized environments, the need arises to ensure their performance from a response time perspective. Legacy Applications Performance Management tools are not well suited to make the jump from static physical systems, to dynamic virtual and cloud based systems. For these reasons enterprises need to consider new tools from vendors that have virtualization aware and cloud aware features in their APM solutions. Vendors like AppDynamics, BlueStripe, Confio, dynatrace, ExtraHop, New Relic, Quest, VMTurbo and VMware (vFabric AppInsight) are currently leading this race to redefine the market for APM solutions.

New products like vFabric AppDirector, and vFabric APM make this into more than intention – they make VMware's participation in these markets a reality as well. The move to remake the APM industry has thus far been lead by creative startups like New Relic, AppDynamics, BlueStripe, dynaTrace and ExtraHop. Now VMware has joined this effort will add considerable mass and velocity to the effort. The message is clear – it is time to instrument all of your applications for response time and the legacy APM vendors do not have the products that are up to the task.
One of the biggest things I took away from the VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas was the all advancements within the storage part of virtualization. For me, this was the year for storage. One product that really got my attention was the new NAS appliance, VMstore from Tintri. This 3U appliance, well 5U if you count the UPC, is a single datastore with 8.5TB of usable storage. This appliance was a collaboration of some very smart individuals from different companies like VMware, Datadomain, NetApp and Sun. They put their minds together and built this NFS appliance from the ground up with specially engineered file system to work with virtualization. What makes this VM-aware appliance different from other typical storage designs is VMstore uses VM's and virtual disks as the abstractions instead of the conventional storage abstractions, volumes, LUN's and files that we have all been accustomed to. Each I/O request will map directly to a virtual disk all while VMstore monitors, controls the I/O and presents disk performance statistics per VM or per VMDK.

VMware Joins the APM Revolution with vFabric Application Performance Manager
• • 1 Comment
With vFabric APM VMware has announced a compelling entry into the APM space, joining the current set of APM innovators – New Relic, AppDynamics, BlueStripe, dynaTrace and ExtraHop. The innovations that VMware is bringing to the table will usher in a redefinition of what APM is, from a performance and availability tool for the development team, to a strategic applications management platform that enables price/performance comparison shopping by application owners. Once the price/performance features are fully implemented, this may do more to enable performance sensitive applications to move to public clouds than any other thing that VMware has done.
Less than 5% of the applications that matter to enterprises world wide are under management by an APM solution that can help ensure application response time, application availability and the integrity of the critical transactions within the application. This is because first generation APM solutions have been too expensive to purchase, too limited in their scope and too expensive to configure, maintain and own.
The focus upon sharing real response time and transaction load data by SalesForce.com is notable when compared with the pre-historic approach to performance that is used by many cloud vendors (and for a matter of fact many enterprise IT organizations). Response Time correlates directly to end user experience and at the end of the day that is all that matters. Hopefully the industry will learn from SalesForce.com and advance this concept further.

Band of Outsiders Spring 2014 Hair Makeup | Runway Pictures
The Band of Outsiders Gal Goes Après-Beach Chic
From sun-kissed cheeks to wet waves, the beauty team backstage at the Band of Outsiders Spring 2014 show was busy making the models look like they just stepped off the sands of Malibu. Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page warmed up the models' complexions with a matte bronzer on the cheeks and nose. He created a "reverse raccoon" eye with a beige Shimmering Cream Eye Color ($25) that was blended all over the eyes. The shade, dubbed Yuba, will be out in Spring 2014.
Didier Malige for René Furterer continued the beach theme with wet, textured hair that had a faux sideswept bang. He made sure not to use any heat tools and sprayed the models' hair with Fioravanti Detangling Spray ($26) to enhance each model's natural texture and provide a wet look. Lastly, the nails were painted with Butter London Cotton Buds ($15) and topped off with a matte top coat for an athletic finish.

I am left handed raised by a very flexible Father. If I wanted to learn to shoot I would do it right handed. That applied to Bowling and Golf also. Rifle shooting was all I did as a kid my Dad didn't own a pistol. he swore after WWII no more guns to hunt people. When I went into the Military I was taught the cup and saucer weaver stance. For fourty years this is what I practiced and perfected.
Today this is as wrong as you can get. Every instructor criticizes the whole way I shoot. Now most of them can not shoot as well as I do but that doesn't seem to matter. Just finished recertification for CCW and again the young instructor mentioned my stance and holding the gun. We talked for quite a while and he has seen the Elephant and we talked a little about that. Then we put some down range together him shooting my Sig 239 in 40 and me with my Glock 36. At 25 yards this kid puts seven to the head all in the one hole with ragged edges. I didn't do quite as well but still respectable. Then he says you could do a lot better if you were willing to change stance and hold.
Now my ego is bruised and I can't seem to let it go.
Have any of you more mature (older guys) put in the time and effort to change to the new stance and grip and perfect it? I shot 200 rounds the new way and I was not very accurate compared to my weaver stance. Looking for advice and experiences. Thanks

Spicebush Swallowtail Butterfly On Foxgloves - Papilio Troilus
Mother Nature
Photograph - Photograph
Spicebush Swallowtail butterflies have a beautiful iridescence on their lower wings. The females show blue (this is a female), and the males shine green.
Our woods are filled with spicebush shrubs which is why we have a number of these lovely insects. They also like to eat (as caterpillars) sassafras and tulip poplar. Adults are nectar feeders.
Their range is generally east of the Rocky Mountains with some in the southern areas of Canada.

When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver to drive 2,000-head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.

All Critics (210) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (114) | Rotten (93) | DVD (17)
What a pleasant surprise to discover that the film has earned its sweeping title.
Throw out the beefcake, the Stilton cheese, and the sub-Dynasty empire-building bushwah.
A funny frankenstein that's worth seeing just to point and laugh at.
"Australia" occasionally stumbles into corny sidesteps like Hugh Jackman's "Oh, crikey" catchphrase. But Baz Luhrmann mythologized his homeland as American directors like John Ford did with Westerns - dramatic-license exaggerations that pay off in droves.
Australia is an enchanting throwback to an era of filmmaking which strived to entertain its audiences with dazzling spectacle and melodrama.
Luhrmann just piles quotation mark on top of quotation mark
Whilst it's not the masterpiece we so desperately wanted it to be, Australia still manages to be a good time at the cinema.
It's a bit overloaded, though I love Luhrmann's obvious enthusiasm.
Here's a film you probably sneered at as its ads played for its mega-plex roll out. I beg you not to let you keep that from now buying the DVD.
It is a huge film - in scale, scope, look and feel, and of course budget. It is also a huge disappointment.
Sometimes seems to be overwhelmed by Baz Luhrmann's excess, but the strength of his vision, the appeal of his visuals and the skill of his actors keep the film from capsizing.
Much like Scorsese's Gangs of New York, it's a film that has been long labored over, and the artist's love of the material is clear, but the inspiration has been lost along the way.
Recalls the old-fashioned, golden-age Hollywood movie-movies that wrapped forbidden desire, aching heartbreak, personal tragedy, war, adventure and breathtaking thrills in a glittering overlay of movie-star glamor.
Unfortunately, between its predictably and the absence of chemistry between Kidman and Jackman, Australia amounts to little more than an amusing if just as readily-forgettable diversion.
This is a movie for those who say they don't make 'em like they used to.
A busca de Austr�lia por uma identidade cinematogr�fica acaba levando o filme a oscilar perigosamente entre tons terrivelmente d�spares.
o Baz Luhrmann htizei enan oyranoksysti apo filodoksies, pairnei to asanser gia tin taratsa kai boytaei sto keno
Unashamedly old-fashioned and corny, if not quite up to the director's usual high standards.
Did I mention it's really long?
Often beautiful but wildly inconsistent, Australia is none more Baz Luhrmann, which perhaps says it all. Worth a look on the big screen, though.
Audience Reviews for Australia
It's not awful, but it certainly lacks the tongue-in-cheek spark of other Baz Luhrmann films, thus rendering the emotion quite melodramatic. I wouldn't say the movie could've ended three times (in that it was too long and repetitive), but new plot points just kept building on and on. There's always more.
This must have been when Nicole Kidman was Botoxing it cuz her face is a bit plasticky, and she overmugs to compensate. Brandon Walters as the half-Aborigine boy, Nullah, is plucky and exuberant. Hugh Jackman is rough and gruff on the outside, marshmallows and puppy dogs on the inside.
Super Reviewer
Somewhere beyond "good," but not quite "really good." I've always been a Luhrman fan, so some of the more airy or mystical qualities of this film didn't bother me, and I was often swept away by the bright, beautiful visuals. The two stories (Jackman and Kidman as the lovers in a dangerous time, and the spirit quest Kidman's adopted Aboriginal child must go on) don't exactly dovetail, but they make for a film in which multiple perspectives are presented, sometimes thoughtfully and other times laboriously. In all, I thought it an entertaining and somewhat unfairly panned film. It's either the most or the least ambitious work Luhrman's ever done, and it's worth seeing once to decide for yourself.
MoreSuper Reviewer
I thought this was an epic 'Dances With Wolves' type film so I was alittle disappointed to discover it isn't, its more of a romantic comedy/epic in the same vain as 'Gone With the Wind'. That's fine and for what it is its a good film but its not quite my cup of tea.
It is very well made and in fine 'Gone With the Wind' form, the Aussie cast are all perfect for their roles (except Jackman seems a little typecast as 'Wolverine' hehe that's all I could think when he shows his chest, Wolverine in 1939) and the visuals are tremendous, the Oz landscape is really used for its best possible look although there is quite alot of bluescreen used which is obvious (to me anyway).
It would have been nice to see an epic about the Aborigines in 'Dances' style to be honest, that could of been very cool, the glimpses of the old Aborigine man King George is very curious and needed to be explored more. The first 30min of this film does tend to be rather romcom and silly, much like Jackmans other romcom period set film 'Kate n Leopold'. It does get much better and more serious as the war looms closer and things get abit teary for sure. The effects are, as said, obvious but look atad better during the war sequences.
Its a very old style flick, very 40's right down to the end credit fonts hehe which is nice, a good film but maybe too mushy haha but thats how they used to be right :) a nice happy ending.
Super Reviewer
I got about one hour into this before turning it off. Acting in the beginning is extremely hammy. So much so I could not take this seriously. It was not Nicole Kidman's finest display, I have to say. Hugh Jackman - meh. Always find him meh, quite honestly.
The stars of this were the Aboriginal actors - they put the rest of the cast to shame. The little boy who plays Nullah, Brandon Walters, is excellent as was his mum and aunt (?) - I think she was his aunt, not entirely sure on that. Once the mum died, I found my interest level going steadily down, and even though the acting had got a bit more realistic by now, it wasn't enough to keep me watching another two hours... half an hour... maybe would have stuck around to see how it ended. Two hours... just too much to ask!
Filmed beautifully, I have to say, very nice movie to look at, but I live here every day - I don't need to see a substandard movie to look at the scenery.
