Bette Midler (born December 1, 1945), also known by her informal stage name, The Divine Miss M, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, comedian, film producer and entrepreneur. In a career spanning almost half a century, Midler has been nominated for two Academy Awards, and won three Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a special Tony Award. She has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and along with that has also received 13 Gold, 8 Platinum and 4 Multiplatinum albums by RIAA.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Midler began her professional career in several Off-Off-Broadway plays prior to her engagements in Fiddler on the Roof and Salvation on Broadway in the late 1960s. She came to prominence in 1970 when she began singing in the Continental Baths, a local gay bathhouse, where she managed to build up a core following. Since then, she has released 13 studio albums as a solo artist. Throughout her career, many of her songs became hits on the record charts, including "The Rose" and "Wind Beneath My Wings" as well as her renditions of "Do You Wanna Dance?", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", and "From a Distance". In 2008, she signed a contract with Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to perform a series of shows titled Bette Midler: The Showgirl Must Go On, which ended in January 2010.
"One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" is a popular song written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer for the movie musical The Sky's the Limit (1943) and first performed in the film by Fred Astaire. It was popularized by Frank Sinatra.
Harold Arlen described the song as "another typical Arlen tapeworm" – a "tapeworm" being the trade slang for any song which went over the conventional 32 bar length]citation needed[. He called it "a wandering song. [Lyricist] Johnny [Mercer] took it and wrote it exactly the way it fell. Not only is it long – forty-eight bars – but it also changes key. Johnny made it work." In the opinion of Arlen's biographer, Edward Jablonski, the song is "musically inevitable, rhythmically insistent, and in that mood of 'metropolitan melancholic beauty' that writer John O'Hara finds in all of Arlen's music."
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson is a talk show hosted by Johnny Carson under The Tonight Show franchise from 1962 to 1992. It originally aired during late-night.
For its first decade, Carson's Tonight Show was based in New York City, with some episodes filmed at NBC's West Coast studios in Burbank, California; in May 1972, the show moved permanently to Burbank.
John William "Johnny" Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005) was an American television host and comedian, known for thirty years as host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962–1992). Carson received six Emmy Awards, the Governor's Award, and a 1985 Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1987. Johnny Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1993.
Although his show was already successful by the end of the 1960s, during the 1970s Carson became an American icon and remained so until his retirement in 1992. He adopted a casual, conversational approach with extensive interaction with guests, an approach pioneered by Arthur Godfrey and previous Tonight Show hosts Steve Allen and Jack Paar. Late-night hosts David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, and future Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon have all cited Carson's influence on their late-night talk shows, which resemble his in format and tone.
Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits is a compilation album by American singer Bette Midler, featuring many of her best-known songs. The fourteen track compilation was released on Atlantic Records in 1993.
While several greatest hits albums with Midler had been released in the UK, Continental Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan throughout the 1970s and 1980s, such as The Best of Bette (1978) and The Best of Bette (1981) - two different compilations with the same title - and Just Hits (1987), this was the first career overview to be released worldwide including the US and Canada, some twenty years after Midler recorded her first studio album for the Atlantic Records label. The album included one new recording, Midler's Emmy Award winning rendition of "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)", sung to retiring talk show host Johnny Carson on the penultimate Tonight Show in May 1992. Experience The Divine: Greatest Hits peaked at #50 on Billboard's album chart in 1993 and was three years later certified platinum for one million copies sold in the US.
"Memories of You" is a popular song with lyrics written by Andy Razaf and music composed by Eubie Blake and published in 1930.
Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding of the idea is fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in the various forms of ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Hence, there is the possibility that what appears as entertainment may also be a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.
Robin McLaurin Williams (born July 21, 1951) is an American actor, voice actor, and stand-up comedian. Rising to fame with his role as the alien Mork in the TV series Mork & Mindy, Williams went on to establish a successful career in both stand-up comedy and feature film acting. His film career includes such acclaimed films as Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), and Good Will Hunting (1997), as well as financial successes such as Popeye (1980), Hook (1991), Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), The Birdcage (1996), Night at the Museum (2006), and Happy Feet (2006). He also appeared in the video to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, Williams went on to receive the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Good Will Hunting (1997). He has also received two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and five Grammy Awards.

Four people have been arrested and thousands of wheels of Parmesan cheese seized by police after a conspiracy to falsify documents and cover up the use of toxic milk was uncovered in Italy this week.
According to The Local, the cheese had been made with milk containing aflatoxin, a naturally occurring carcinogen that is commonly found in crops grown during droughts and in the milk of cows that eat moldy food. Small amounts are not harmful to adults, but the milk used to produce the Parmesan had twice the level of aflatoxin allowed by E.U. health codes. Tests had been conducted on the cheese, but the results had been altered to cover up the excessive aflatoxin levels, police say.
Suspicious prosecutors privately ordered another set of tests, which revealed both the toxin and the coverup. The head of agricutural nutrition for the city of Parma was among the four people arrested so far in conjunction with the toxic cheese. Three cheese producers were also arrested, and up to 60 more people are under investigation.
In large amounts, aflatoxin can cause liver problems including cirrhosis and even cancer. Children are more susceptible to it than adults, and can suffer delayed development and stunted growth from excessive consumption.

Conference Paper: Gender and Tenure Diversity in GitHub Teams
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Software development is usually a collaborative venture. Open Source Software (OSS) projects are no exception; in-deed, by design, the OSS approach can accommodate teams that are more open, geographically distributed, and dynamic than commercial teams. This, we find, leads to OSS teams that are quite diverse. Team diversity, predominantly in of-fline groups, is known to correlate with team output, mostly with positive effects. How about in OSS? Using GITHUB, the largest publicly available collection of OSS projects, we studied how gender and tenure diversity relate to team productivity and turnover. Using regression modeling of GITHUB data and the results of a survey, we show that both gender and tenure diversity are positive and significant predictors of productivity, together explaining a sizable fraction of the data variability. These results can inform decision making on all levels, leading to better out-comes in recruiting and performance.CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Seoul, Korea; 04/2015 - Sociological Perspectives 01/1997; 40(1):1-32. · 0.57 Impact Factor

We all agreed that all plugins should have a link under settings. If the plugin enhances a different part of the site, the settings page could just tell you where the plugin feature is located. … … 5 5 We also agreed that themes should put features like a static front page under customize like most already do, though I heard Responsive doesn't. I was told it puts static front page under settings. If it is a theme feature, then logically you should be able to at least find a link to where the features are under themes. 6 6 7 Implementing general rules for plugins and themes would make WordPress easier to use.

Looking to replace my AR with an updated version. Now I am wondering about the caliber. .223/5.56 or .308. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Looking to replace my AR with an updated version. Now I am wondering about the caliber. .223/5.56 or .308. Any suggestions or recommendations?
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
What do you want to do with it exactly? If it's a plinker I say go with 5.56 because of cost. Hunting anything bigger than coyotes? .308 platform is what you want. HD rifle with neighbors who live pretty close? 5.56 again. So it comes back to your purpose for the rifle.
Can you keep your current AR (I'm assuming it's .223/5.56?) and just supplement it with a .308?
One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.
~Thomas Jefferson
"Carry your gun - it's a lighter burden than regret."
If you are serious about defending your family and home then 7.62mm/.308 is the home invader/robbery solution. It allows you to hunt medium size game too if you need to.
For two legged targets it is a one-shot stop no questions asked. Also, no burden on the taxpayer and you won't have to worry about them coming back.
I won't even get into the details of overpenetration. That horse has been beaten to death lately. Know your target and what lies beyond and take care of your family and home.
I sleep very well at night knowing I can rely on a 7.62mm rifle to eliminate any problems that might crop up at O dark-thirty.
I like all kinds of foreign guns.
"Arm yourself because no one else here will save you..."
I don't always use missiles, but when I do it's the Minuteman III LGM-30G
ARs should be in 5.56. If you buy a ".223" stamped model only, you are limited to .223 only. If its stamped either 5.56, or both 5.56, and .223, you are good to shoot either round.
AR 15s have the kinks worked out of them. Any other caliber in an AR platform, not so much. Whatever you do, dont buy an AR 10.
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
If your main purpose is to hunt pigs then you're on the right track with a .308 platform. The 5.56 cartridge is dogged by many reports of slow kills on that type of game, and no one wants that. Of course if you want to have your cake and eat it too you could just keep the AR you have now and get a cheap SKS to kill pigs with....
Chinese SKS Rifle - Original Military All Milled 7.62 x 39 - Semi-Auto W/ Chrome Lined Barrels C & R Eligible - C&R Eligible
Thanks. Your response addresses the main questions that I had because I want something that I can still use as a home defense weapon if necessary (I have plenty of handguns that would be my first choice in a HD situation) but also versatile enough for some kinds of medium size game hunting ( primarily wild pigs).
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
Have you looked at just buying another upper for your AR? 300, 6.8, or even 458 socom?
Not really. I want to change out the whole gun to go with more of a current generation look.
Adjustable stock, more rails, removable front sight, etc, etc.
It's kind of like getting a new set of golf clubs with all of the new technology that supposedly makes them perform better.
Does it work? Probably not but it makes me feel all "en courant".
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
Pigs aren't armored. 5.56 works perfectly. There's probably more pigs kilt today with 5.56 than anything else, and if you bust a sounder you get 30 tries to drop 'em all (most farmers who let you hunt their land want them all d-e-a-d, dead.
There are a lot taken with 7.62x39 as well. SEEEE, we hunt with these evil looking things!
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." C.S. Lewis
the AR you have now can be "updated" with modifications that require no more than an armorers wrench and some muscle. Making it look identical to the 2k rifles out there.
for hunting, i suspect 100-200 yard range? AK47.
weekend pre-apocolypse nomadic warrior, leather duster and all.
If its an old M-16 A1 fixed handle, viet nam era, model AR, yeah, Id keep it as a back up, but get something else.
If not, and its an otherwise decent gun, you can update the furniture on it, and keep what you have. Unless, you just want another AR, and aint nothing wrong with that, lol.

Blogging visit pcweddingphoto.com And What You Can Learn About It
Do you own a small business or want to find a way to promote a product? Whatever you situation, if you want to find a way to get more people interested in the product you provide, then blogging is a good option for you. Check out this article and see how blogging can help you.
When you are starting to blog, it is important that you never give up. You are not going to get a lot of readers your first day, and even your first week, and that is okay. Just keep writing what you are passionate about, and the readers will come to you.
Since blogs are written on a more personal level, you should avoid writing in formal tones. This will make it easier for the reader to relate to you on a personal level. This will keep your readers coming back later on to read more of the blogs you write.
Design your blog to keep not just the reader's interest but also your interest. If you grow bored with what you are writing about, you won't be likely to keep blogging. Even if you do, the quality of your writing will suffer. Your readers will be able to tell that your writing has lost some of its punch.
Refrain from using blog designs that are similar to MySpace. This means using extremely busy designs that have too much content on your screen, too many animated graphics, etc. Having these busy designs makes it extremely difficult for your readers to read your blog. As a result, they'll likely leave.
You should be passionate about your blog topic. You will sound better and more natural, when you write about topics that interest you. Doing this will keep your readers interested and attract more readers.
If you want to succeed with blogging, you need to make sure that you know what you are doing. Take the time before you start your blog to do research, so that you can make sure to get out of it what you want. Read as much as you can on the subject, and be 100% certain that you have all the knowledge that you need.
If you are writing an article, and it is under 500 words, it is best not to use it. People are reading your blog to gain knowledge or information, and you want to make sure that you are meeting this need properly. Articles Bedbathandbeyond.com that are too short will not give your readers everything they are looking for.
Strive to create new and interesting posts that relate to your blog in places other than directly on your blog. This can help the search engine spiders find you easily, and it will eventually lead to higher rankings in the search engine results pages. As such, you'll see a spike in readership as your page rank grows. Follow this article's advice to increase your readership for your blog.
Any blog that wants a close relation with its readers needs a contact form. This makes it simple for readers with questions to contact you for answers. You may hear from someone who has a blog you would be interested in, or you may receive a important assessment about your blog.
Use WordPress as a platform for your blog. There is not other platform around that works so good with plug-ins. This is what many bloggers use and there is a good reason for that. You will find that if you use WordPress, you will be very happy that you made that choice.
If it is financially viable for you to do so, try going to blogging conferences. Going to these conventions will help you learn things that will make your blogs more interesting and effective. Also, you will meet bloggers who have achieved success, which can only help your own good fortunes.
Keep the content near link bars short and sweet. The area near the link bar is considered a hotspot. You can put the number of your total subscribers right there. Although it make not be as common at the beginning or end of a post, it can be used as an aid for subscribing.
It is extremely important that you create something that has value to the readers within your niche. This can be as simple as creating a few videos or writing an e-book. The purpose is just to create things that hold value. Have these valuable things available for sell on your blog.
Now that you have a greater understanding of blogging. How it can do to help you with building an audience for your voice, business, or any reason in particular you can get started now! The sooner you get started blogging the faster your popularity will rise! Apply all that you have learned to achieve the popularity you seek.

Who is your god - Is he not mine?
Who is your devil - are we the same?
What makes you worse
What makes me better
Never to trust again - How long have I got?
In this darkened maze
They keep me awake - They scream at night
Screams at night
Who is your master
In this shallow grave
Born to die for a lie
I have no soul - I have no pride
Where is justice in this hell?
Where is liberty - I paid the price
My life blood runs dry
Slowly drained from me
Screams at night
...Alone in this shallow grave I die...

Do the fan blades move freely if you blow on the fan hard? If not, then the fan wires may be interfering with the fan and stopping it from working. If so, simply remove the 4 screws holding the front face on the 10XP (noting where the grounding strap goes under one of the screws) and move the fan wires out of the way of the fan blades. Hopefully your problem is as simple as this. One of my 10S chargers had this problem and I have seen it mentioned on the forum also. If that is not the problem, I would not recommend using the charger until the fan is replaced. Replacement is very simple/straighforward. In a pinch, any electronics store such as Frys, should have a similar fan. They are not expensive at all. In fact, some of your surplus electronic 'junk' may have a direct replacement, just match size, volts and away you go.... I had a similar problem and my replacement fan from FMA arrived in a couple days. Great service. Don |

Stupid users
I just worked through a stupid user experience with a brand new 10XP.
I had purchased it as part of a package I am putting together for a friend. I had been using a 10S for quite a while and felt that the simplicity of the auto C presets would be perfect. The 10S was out of stock so I opted for the 10XP which has even more preset slots. I use an old Radio Shack 25amp power supply to drive my 10S. Works great but, sadly, they are no longer in production. I purchased a PowerWerx SS-30DV power supply that has specs almost identical to my Radio Shack unit at about half the total size. The 10XP shipped with the wrong balancing leads but Cindy did a great job getting the right ones out to me. Received them last night and decided to test the new stuff out today. I configured the presets and charged up a pair of 4 cell 4500mah packs using my new 2 Pack - 1C preset. It took almost three hours to charge the packs which had started at about 30%. I thought I had messed something up in the preset but they seemed OK so I switched to the Optimize for Fast Charging mode and tried another pair of packs. Same story. Watching with the computer I noticed that the current to packs was at or below 1 amp for the whole charge. I decided to see what my old 10S did and it was acting wacky too but I saw that it was warning loudly about low power supply voltage. Sure enough if I drew more than about 5 amps off the SS-30DV power supply the volts would drop below 11 and even at 2 amps it was barely holding 12 volts. Hooked up my old Radio Shack supply and it held 13.8 volts just fine. Well, theres your problem! As I am sadly contemplating this brand new power supply wondering if I had grossly misinterpreted its specs I noticed that the little teeny, tiny voltage switch on the back was configured for 230 volts input. Changing from 230 to 115 fixed everything. Stupid users |

For charging 2 batteries at once....
Is there any practical difference between charging 2 batteries at once using a single channel charge mode versus a dual channel mode? One obvious thing is in Dual Channel, you get to see all the specs for both batteries. Otherwise, is there any difference in the actual charge performance or anything else? What's the point of ever charging 2 packs in series on a single channel when you can charge 2 packs independently on dual channel?
I want to use a manually set charge rate of 4.0C. Either way, the batteries are hooked to the charger identically, correct? Battery 1 goes to channel 1 balance port and channel 1 pigtails, and Bat 2 goes to Ch 2 bal port and Ch2 2 pigtails. Then it's a matter of choosing a single channel or dual channel charge Preset, then manually select the appropriate charge amps (let's say the 2200 packs, would be 4.0 x 2200 mAh = 8800, use 8.8 Amp rate). I have multiples of the following and would always be charging 2 identical packs (with similar discharge state): 2s 350's and 2s 450's 3s 1300's, 3s 1550's, 3s 1800's, 3s 2200's 4s 2500's One more question. Out of the 10 available charging Presets, the factory defaults have position 2 and 6 set as Dual Channels. The other 8 positions are Single Channel. The best I can tell, in order to change that setting (dual vs single) for a Preset, you need to buy the USB connector and run the CCS software. Is this correct? Thanks, Derek |
Dec 17, 2011, 01:26 PM | ||
Hi: Only difference between Single and Dual pack is how the balancers operate, and how the charge data is displayed. In Single pack, all the cells in both packs are balanced to all the other cells, and mAh in is calculated for the whole pack. In Dual Channel mode, all the cells of Ch 1 are balanced to each other, and all the cells of Ch 2 are balanced to each other. The mAh are calculated independently. In either case, you connect the packs to the 10XP the same way, and you set the charge current the same way. Yes, you are correct. To change preset's characteristics of Dual vs Single pack, you require the CCS. Same is true for selecting between different Fuel Tables. Tim Marks |

Mathews receives grant for downtown revitalization
Sherry Hamilton - Posted on Dec 18, 2013 - 02:39 PM
Mathews County has been awarded a $666,696 Community Development Block Grant from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development for a business district revitalization project in the downtown area.
The county's planning and zoning director, John Shaw, said that the money will be used for a couple of different purposes.
One purpose will be for awarding small grants to business owners who would like to improve the appearance of their storefronts.
Owners of 11 properties that include 20 storefronts have already expressed an interest in applying for the grants, he said. Each grant would require a 1:1 match, with matching funds provided in cash, in improvements already made within the past year-and-a-half or so, or a combination of the two.
The grants will be in the form of loans of up to about $12,500 that are forgivable if the property owner completes the work and maintains it for a certain period of time, said Shaw. Any agreement made will run with the property and will be transferred to a new owner if the property is sold.

Your apartment was ideal.....it was in immaculate order....Plagne Soleil is a wonderful little spot and so convenient.....we had outstanding meals in the local restaurants....thank you for an excellent service from start to finish. Your agent in Plagne Soleil did a great job, providing a warm welcome and faultless assistance. JEREMY. Dec 06.
We were very impressed with the cleanliness and homely feeling of your apartment.....we had a fantastic time....GARETH Jan 07
The apartment was perfect, it had everything you could ever want....We couldn't have wished for a better holiday. Your agents in the resort were incredibly helpful, nothing was a problem and they are just great people. MATT. FEB 07.
We rented this superbly-sited apartment over the Christmas period.The property was clean,very well-equippedand furnished with all the necessaries for a successful self-catering holiday and had adequate space for a family of 4/5.The view from the balcony(which has plenty of room for ski storage)overlooks one of the local pistes and was perfect for doing some people-watching while enjoying an apres-ski cognac or two.
The highly-efficient heating system was great for drying off our wet gear and there was plenty of storage space for clothes,boots etc.At the entrance to the building there is a well-stocked Spar which satisfied all our needs and nearby,within metres of the store,the ski-pass office is located.Also on the ground floor of the building is an excellent and reasonably-priced family-run restaurant serving local Savoyard cuisine.Access to several pistes is a short ski away from this genuine ski-in/ski-out location.We received a warm and friendly greeting on arrival from the owner's agents,Bob and Maureen Morris who have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the La Plagne area.The apartment really couldn't have been more conveniently situated and we're considering returning next winter.I would highly recommend this property.
Previous experience of ski apartments has been cramped, however I was very pleased with the intelligent use of space in this property. The bedroom and sleeping areas were perfect for my family with 2 young boys and we loved having the use of the DVD player to watch movies in the evenings. As a keen cook, I also enjoyed being able to prepare evening meals in the kitchen which again, was much better than stocked with equipment than others I've used. Our arrival date meant a terrible journey into La Plagne (as reported on BBC News!) however, once we finally arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the local service agent Kate and Alan who settled us in. The unfortunate snow conditions for our drive in meant fabulous conditions for the first few days of skiing, made simple with local ski hire facilities and ski in ski out access from Plagne Soleil.
In the interest of fairness, the only drawbacks I can think are
1. Lack of a bath to soothe muscles after long days skiing. However I must say that the shower room was brand new and crystal clean.
2. No Wifi despite this being mentioned on arrival. Though 3G was reasonable all around La Plagne - though be sure to be on a good roaming package.
3. Underground parking fairly expensive, and outdoor parking elusive to find.
All in all a superb stay that I would gladly repeat, and recommend to others.
We stayed in this apartment over New Year 2014 - 2 adults and 2 teenage girls. It was compact but very well equipped and we found it very comfortable and cosy. It was well located, on the piste and with a well equipped spar in the development. The pizza takeaway and restaurant at Monica's were reasonably priced. We enjoyed watching the DVDs supplied. Firework show at Plagne Bellecote at new year was superb and worth the packed bus journeys. All in all we had a lovely ski holiday in this clean and welcoming apartment.
Beautifully furnished, very clean apartment in an excellent location with doorstep ski-ing included!
Surrounded by good facilities - shop, ski hire, ski school, restaurants - what more could you wish for?
The owners also provide video and dvd players with a good selection of films to watch.
The agents, Bob and Maureen are extremely helpful and you are sure of a good welcome on arrival.
This is a little gem of an apartment and can be highly recommended.
Excellent location in terms of accessing slopes, ski school, very good supermarket, ski hire shop.
One thing that was not communicated to us pre-arrival was the nature of the hot water system. This is not the apartment for you if you like soaking in a hot bath after a hard day's skiing! On arrival, we were advised that the hot water tank is extremely small ('if you take a 15-minute shower, no-one else will have any hot water') and takes up to 5 hours to re-fill! In practice, this meant that we just managed to get 4 short showers in succession.
Apartment was clean and very well-equipped. It's is at the rear of the residence - the balcony overlooks the car park, a section of one rarely-used piste and one mountainside, as shown in the picture (view from balcony). It doesn't have views over the mountain range, chairlifts etc. The double bedroom is very small - it's only possible to access one side of the bed.
La Plagne is an excellent ski area for teenagers - good range of runs and also easy to access Les Arcs via Vanoise Express. Approx 2-3 hrs drive from Grenoble.
A great apartment in a great location, with very quick and easy access to the Piste.
The apartment is well looked after, it was very clean and tidy, nice furniture and comfortable, all you need for a great skiing holiday.
Plagne Soleil is situated at 2050m just above Plagne Centre. It is ideally placed on the slopes with very easy access for all abilities to the lift network. The apartments are built around a large, traffic free village square which includes ESF ski school. lift pass office, supermarket, ski hire shops, restaurants, cafe, bar, pizza takeaway and children's ski-club. The ESF ski school lessons meet up and start from this square. La Plagne is linked to Les Arcs by cable car, the combined area (Paradiski) offers 425 Kms of piste. At 2050m the snow cover in Plagne Soleil is regarded as very reliable. There are 139 lifts in the La Plagne area, serving 134 pistes.(11 Green, 79 Blue, 34 Red and 19 black).There are dedicated snowboarder parks and a halfpipe at Plagne Bellcote. For cross country skiers there are 90 Kms of trails. In the La Plagne area there are 21 mountain restaurants. A free bus service links Pl. Soleil to Pl. Villages and Pl.Centre to Pl.1800, Pl.Bellcote and Belleplagne.
Ski: SUMMARY OF KEY DETAILS TO HELP YOUR DECISION.
Altitude of 2050metres. FREE car parking. Adjacent to pistes and lift network. Mountain views from balcony. Quiet elevated position. Dishwasher and fridge in well equipped kitchen. Double bed in separate bedroom.
Premium quality mattresses on all beds. Newly refitted showeroom.Separate WC. Non-smoking apartment.

Whether or not to sign or renew an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft is a sticky question that many organizations face. For many companies out there, their spend on Microsoft licensing can be a significant portion of a company's IT budget, whether it be Enterprise Agreements or Select License agreements. Some of you may be directly responsible for the negotiation of the agreement, but many more of you work with your sourcing professionals who negotiate the agreements with Microsoft or resellers. The increasing complexity around Microsoft licensing decisions require more heads at the table. For Infrastructure and Operations pros, your voice is critical in the decision process. Certainly, your current state of Microsoft products and your future rollouts over the life of the agreement (and beyond) play a role, but there are other factors to consider. Some of the other key questions you'll face include:
Posted by Duncan Jones on the Sourcing & Vendor Management Professionals Blog on February 25, 2009
I get this question all the time because, let's face it, it's a significant decision. For example, an Enterprise Agreement (EA) renewal for an enterprise with the main desktop suite on, say, 10,000 PCs could cost around $1,500,000 per year. So what do you get for this outlay? You've already purchased a perpetual license for the relevant Microsoft products via your original EA, so the renewal is merely an extension of the maintenance element, which Microsoft calls Software Assurance (SA). Like most terms in Microsoft licensing, SA looks like an industry standard concept, but has sufficient Microsoft-specific nuances that confuses customers. The key differences from most vendors' software maintenance offerings are that SA:

It is often difficult to step back from the flow of news coming out from Barcelona but here's a quick take on the main announcements.
- new handset makers such as ACER are entering the mobile space highlighting the fact that boundaries between computers and mobile phones are being blurred. Toshiba, HP are already here and Dell or Lenovo could well follow. Will they succeed? Well they need to master not only the hardware but also the software, offer scalability/economies of scale, negotiate with operators and revamp their brands. This will not happen in one night but some of them have bold long-term objectives
- As always a great autumn/winter device collection from the usual suspects: Nokia E75, SE "Idou", LG Arena or Smasung Beat DJ. Despite few announcements (2 devices with Android OS), Google and Apple cast their shadow over the congress though. Apple because most phones were still compared to the iPhone even though the device was announced 2 years ago. If many visitors were disappointed not to see more Android handsets, one should bear in mind this is still the early days and that there is a strong support from the Open Handset Alliance. No doubt this is a long-term play and that Android is here to stay.
- Appstores are the new retailing/merchandizing paradigm. Many handset/OS vendors announced their own "vertical" solutions but operators also joined the dance such as Orange with its Application shop. The parntership between T-Mobile and OVI is one of the most interesting announcements at it shows that operators can also offer an "horizontal" layer and offer a large reach/distribution to developers. Not everybody will succeed but it is likely that both types of stores will co-exist.

The open source hypervisor landscape got a lot more interesting today after the latest announcements from Red Hat and Citrix. Both were shots across the bow of VMware's juggernaut, but Red Hat's volley may have overshot and struck Xen.org in the stern.
Citrix, the flag bearer for Xen.org, recently announced that two significant hypervisor features would be made available in the free version of its Xen distribution, XenServer – live migration and multi-node management. Neither of these capabilities are provided in the free version of VMware ESX and live migration won't be available in Microsoft Hyper-V until Windows Server 2008 R2. Citrix is also busily placing calls to the major Linux distributors hoping to sign them up to commitments to replace the free Xen.org hypervisor with the free XenServer.

On Friday, Forrester published new research on one of the most active groups of people ever seen when it comes to social participation -- buyers of technology products in the business-to-business (B2B) sector.
I teamed up with Oliver Young to write the report, "The Social Technographics of Business Buyers," based on a survey conducted online between December 2008 and January 2009; you can access the full report if you're a Forrester client, or arrange to buy it if you are not.

You've heard it once and you'll hear it again: You can't manage what you can't measure. This adage is relevant to any IT project — especially if you're getting serious about green IT. Forrester advises that before investing a single dollar, measure your green IT baseline — an annual estimate of the energy consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and financial costs of operating your IT within and outside of the data center.
With that in mind, I would like to introduce Forrester's online green IT baseline calculator — an intuitive, online tool to help IT professionals calculate their green IT baseline.
The tool walks you through the key green IT baseline assumptions, including the number of IT assets, energy draw, and hours of up-time. For additional accuracy, you can customize your price and CO2 emissions per kilowatt. The tool will then automatically calculate your green IT baseline for your review. From there, you can email the results to yourself for future reference (and you can also help guide our research agenda).
Why should you calculate your green IT baseline? My complimentary green IT podcast and report "Is Green IT Your Emperor With No Clothes?" offer answers and much more. Here's a start:

Daily, we hear about more layoffs and downsizing. Along with this comes scrutiny of all internal budgets including learning and development. Companies are not lopping off learning as drastically as in previous recessions. Companies know that skilled employees make their business successful. But, at the same time, some budget cuts are inevitable. This is where eLearning comes in. Most organizations already have some eLearning but they are not using the full capabilities like the rapid eLearning tools or the virtual classroom from their Web conferencing provider, or the informal learning using collaboration tools like blogs, podcasts, and wikis.
Yes, classroom training will be cut since travel costs are a quick savings. But this doesn't mean you can't have effective learning . . . via a different approach! This is good time to take stock of what tools and features you have but haven't used from your LMS or your online meeting providers and exploit these online synchronous and asynchronous forms of learning.

Recently, I've had a number of conversations with CIOs and senior IT staff on the pressures caused by business belt-tightening.
This, of course, has cascaded to IT in the form of the need to cut. Favorite targets: new investments, whether for business-sponsored projects or infrastructure, followed by 'IT overhead' – travel, training, IT improvement programs, followed by opportunistic cuts in the operations budget. For most I've talked with, they have their budget for 2009, but are still watching for the request for further cuts.
Now, the hard part has started for them. As one said "having less to spend means I need to work harder to make sure it's spent wisely'. The problem isn't just one of picking areas to spend on, but also in making sure that the business execs who are getting more involved in these decisions agree it's being spent wisely.
I constructed this formula to help the conversation. It basically lays out what I call the IT's 'cost/capacity/demand' challenge. Perceived business value is business management's belief that they are getting good value from overall IT spend. It's a function of aggregate business demand; not just projects but also tactical requests for application enhancements, or expectations for service quality - spread over available capacity; both staff, external services and infrastructure capacity - at a particular cost. The cost is IT spend, and when spend goes down, capacity goes down.
The challenge comes from three factors:

My recently released piece "Search Loyalty Is Still Hard To Find" has gotten a lot of press. Some of it for a faulty conclusion. I've corrected the notion that I was trying to introduce a "Google Killer" with this research on a few blogs. Glad to see the right interpretation of our our data popping up as well! I thought it might be worth setting the record straight from our own blog.
Posted by Doug Washburn on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on February 17, 2009
To date, IT pros have given very little attention to the "greening" of the network. Why? Three words: follow the money. According to recent Forrester research, the top motivation for pursing Green IT is to "reduce the energy-related costs of operating IT." And when compared to other IT energy-drawing assets – like servers, data center cooling or PCs – the energy consumption of the network falls at the bottom of the list, meaning that the ROI to reduce energy use is less compelling.
But the launch of Cisco's EnergyWise technology is likely to raise the "greening" status of the network. EnergyWise is a free software upgrade to Cisco's entire line of Catalyst switching gear. The technology allows customers to monitor, manage and ultimately reduce energy consumption of anything "connected" to the network. As Cisco describes, EnergyWise will evolve over three phases, adding new functionality with each iteration:
In the first phase (February 2009), Network Control, Cisco EnergyWise will be supported on Catalyst switches and manage the energy consumption of IP devices such as phones, video surveillance cameras and wireless access points. In the next phase (Summer 2009), IT Control, there will be expanded industry support of EnergyWise on devices such as personal computers (PCs), laptops and printers.
