Egenera has made a rare acquisition, picking a young Dublin ISV called Fort Technologies that brings the Massachusetts firm private and public cloud management sort of along the lines of what Cloupia is bringing Cisco and Gale is bringing Dell.
Egenera, however, is way ahead of them since the integration is already done.
It rolled out the goods Wednesday in its PAN Cloud Director which builds on PAN Manager, the company's traditional widgetry for converging infrastructure, pooling servers, storage and networking and adding high availability and disaster recovery.
Besides the Guinness, terms weren't disclosed.
PAN is already used by a lot of cloud service providers and government agencies going to the cloud.
Fort offers a self-service catalog and a drag-and-drop palette that makes designing, provisioning and delivering clouds faster and simpler, more secure and resilient.
It's also got integrated pricing and reporting capabilities for real-time billing and monitoring cloud chargebacks or showbacks.
Egenera expects the acquisition to expand its sales footprint, partner network and customer base in EMEA.
Fort Technologies' personnel have already been moved into Egenera's Cloud Products Group and its CEO, Gerry Murray, will head Egenera's EMEA operations.
Unlike other cloud management products, Egenera's PAN Cloud Director lets organizations turn any infrastructure – not just virtualized servers – into reliable, scalable and elastic cloud resources.
That means bare metal physical or virtual servers or a mix of the two environments.
Besides any server, it can handle any storage, switches, applications, hypervisors and operating systems – at the same time and all without vendor lock-in.
All users have to do is dial in their required service levels and the cloud services are guaranteed to automatically meet their security, performance and availability requirements.
They can have Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) as well as Metal-as- a-Service (MaaS) clouds, which is better for some apps.
John Fitzgerald, managing director of SP Interactive Network Communications GmbH, figures Egenera PAN Manager and PAN Cloud Director will significantly reduce his operating costs and dramatically shorten the time-to-market for his services.

"Legal Eagle: Attorney, pilot, and mom Tally Parham pushes the envelope"
G -The Magazine of Greenville
May 2010
The May 2010 edition of G - The Magazine of Greenville, featured an article entitled "Legal Eagle: Attorney, pilot and mom Tally Parham pushes the envelope," written by Jac Chebatoris.
Chebatoris starts off the article saying "Tally Parham is a study in contrasts: growing up, she took ballet, but also Okinawan karate. She is delicately featured and soft-spoken; however, when she speaks, it may well be about the time she launched an 800-pound missile from her F16 fighter jet while flying in a combat mission over Baghdad.
The articles goes on to talk about how Tally became passionate about flying at an early age, as she was introduced to it by her father, Jim Parham, via his acrobatic plane. The day she read the headlines in 1993 that the Combat Exclusion bill, excluding women from military combat roles, was repealed, she was on the phone to McEntire Air National Guard Base in Eastover, SC, to schedule an interview.
In addition to now being a major in the Air National Guard, Tally is also an attorney at Wyche, with her practiced focused on various types of litigation, including intellectual property, civil and voting rights, and employment.
Tally tells Chebatoris that "Flying F16s was the most thrilling, exciting, fulfilling thing that I'd ever done. It was incredibly challenging - physically and mentally - and what made it so fulfilling was that your success was objectively measured."

New York, NY – December 12, 2012 — Vaultive, a provider of cloud data encryption solutions designed to maintain the control, security and compliance of data processed by cloud-based services, today announced the formation of its Advisory Board, which includes notable cloud computing industry luminaries Dave Cullinane, CEO of SecurityStarfish, Jim Reavis, co-founder and executive director of the Cloud Security Alliance, and Dr. Eran Tromer of Tel Aviv University's School of Computer Science.
Vaultive's enterprise-class cloud data encryption solutions enable encryption in use, encryption in transit and encryption at rest, while the organization's IT department retains control of the encryption keys. Vaultive enables data to be searched, sorted, indexed, and otherwise processed in the cloud without ever being decrypted there. Vaultive protects data from unauthorized access by integrating industry-standard AES-256 encryption into enterprise cloud applications, and lets customers enable and manage additional cloud application functionality using proprietary cryptographic extensions. These capabilities effectively address the four principal business challenges that organizations face when migrating data to the cloud: data security, regulatory compliance, unauthorized data disclosure and access, and international privacy/ data residency regulations.
Vaultive's Advisory Board members are amongst the world's thought leaders on cloud security. They have been actively involved in educating the market on the need for greater cloud security as well as defining the standards by which it can be adopted. Dave Cullinane is a globally recognized leader and visionary in the IT security industry. Cullinane was formerly the chief information security officer (CISO) of eBay, where he was responsible for security programs to protect eBay and its many businesses. Under his leadership, eBay's security team was named "Security Team of the Year" by SC Magazine in 2010. Prior to joining eBay, Cullinane was the CISO for one of the largest banks in the United States. Cullinane is also a founding member and chairman of the board of the Cloud Security Alliance and president of the Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
Jim Reavis was recently named as one of the Top 10 cloud computing leaders by SearchCloudComputing.com. As co-founder and executive director of the Cloud Security Alliance, Reavis leads the most important and influential organization working to define industry best practices for cloud security. Reavis is also president of Reavis Consulting Group, LLC, where he advises security companies, large enterprises and other organizations on the implications of new trends and how to take advantage of them. He was previously an international board member of the ISSA and served as the association's executive director. Reavis was also a co-founder of the Alliance for Enterprise Security Risk Management, a partnership between the ISSA, ISACA and ASIS, formed to address the enterprise risk issues associated with the convergence of logical and traditional security.
Dr. Eran Tromer is well known for his expertise in the areas of cryptography, information security, and the challenges raised by imperfect real-world computer systems. His research on side-channel attacks demonstrated information leakage in commercial cloud computing services, efficient cache-based attacks on AES encryption and acoustic attacks on RSA encryption. He actively pursues means of improving security at the levels of networks, algorithms, protocols, operating systems and hardware circuits. He is the co-author of many industry papers and presentations, including "Hey, You, Get Off of My Cloud: Exploring Information Leakage in Third-Party Compute Clouds." Dr. Tromer's Ph.D. dissertation at the Weizmann Institute of Science (2007), advised by Prof. Adi Shamir, drastically reduced the projected cost of breaking RSA keys, leading to revision of government standards. Dr. Tromer has served on numerous program committees and academic panels, as in industry consulting roles. Prior to joining Tel Aviv University, Dr. Tromer pursued his research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Microsoft Research.
"When building our Advisory Board, we sought out recognized leaders and visionaries in the cloud data security and encryption industries that could provide strategic council to help Vaultive in the ongoing development of its groundbreaking solutions," said Maayan Tal, co-founder and CTO of Vaultive. "We are thrilled to have Dave Cullinane, Jim Reavis and Eran Tromer join our Advisory Board. Their collective insights and expertise – developed from decades of industry experience – will be an invaluable asset to Vaultive as we continue to be an innovator in cloud data encryption technologies."
As members of Vaultive's Advisory Board, Cullinane, Reavis, and Tromer will join other notable industry luminaries in providing input, ideas and expert advice to the company as Vaultive continues to grow.
"I am excited to be a part of Vaultive's Advisory Board, having experienced firsthand the challenges and concerns of moving proprietary enterprise data to the cloud," said Cullinane. "What Vaultive is doing is truly unique in that its smart encryption solution allows organizations to retain complete ownership and exclusive control of data, while still reaping all of the benefits of the cloud. Deploying it should be a best practice for anyone migrating to the cloud and Vaultive is enabling widespread adoption of cloud computing by organizations that would otherwise be challenged to do so."
About Vaultive
Vaultive is a provider of cloud data encryption solutions designed to maintain the control, security and compliance of data processed by cloud-based services. Vaultive's encryption secures data at rest, data in transit and data in use in a format that can be searched, sorted and indexed — while the organization's IT department retains control of the encryption keys. This addresses the principal business challenges of migrating data to the cloud including data security, regulatory compliance, unauthorized data disclosure and access, and international privacy/ data residency regulations. Optimized for Microsoft® Office 365 Encryption, the Vaultive platform supports best practices for the control and ownership of corporate data in the cloud. Vaultive has raised more than $10 million from leading venture capital firms .406 Ventures, New Science Partners, Harmony Partners and Security Growth Partners.

1997 Mercury Grand Marquis Problems
The car had 64600 miles on it and the headlights started going out while driving, which can be very dangerous. The problem is in the Light Control Module which is an expensive part (around $500 to $600 + labor).
The composite (plastic) intake manifold may crack near the thermostat housing and cause a coolant leak. Ford released an updated manifold that was reinforced to prevent a recurrence. No recall was issued for this problem but Ford did extend the warranty to seven years on some models from the date of purchase.
A spring in the seat belt buckle may wear or fail, causing the airbag light on the instrument panel to illuminate. Failed buckles will require replacement.

An increased knowledge, skill, and understanding in shooting, defense, and legal aspects as such. Some enjoy the knowledge, others perfect their skills, and some wish to do both in order to teach. I personally love knowledge, I know more than I can apply as I am without enough practice, this refers to many things. The more I know, I can put to practice and understand it. Eventually, I can teach those close to me. Increasing skill and understanding sets you to a higher standard in yourself. The more skill, the more discipline. The more you understand discipline, the more you can apply it to all else.
Myself aside, there are those who's job requires training in these skills. Others are training people in these skills, and must understand the skills themselves.

I'm more of a competition shooter then anything else.
My goal it to beat my last score at what ever match I shot, be it rifle or pistol. I'll do what training necessary, (geared to my weak points) to accomplish that goal. It helps with my SD revolver too. I figure using it (642) with its short barrel and short sight radius, helps the shooting of my M-64 I use in ICORE and such.

Please define "training."
For some, training is standing on the flat range shooting stationary targets from a stationary position, or some elaboration of the above. For others, training involves a trainer/instructor in a more or less formal class setting, and what takes place on the flat range with no instructor present is "practice" and not training. What exactly are we talking about here?? lpl

Being in law enforcement my mindset is defensive shooting and threat neutralization. I need to put myself in stressful situations so I know how I am going to react and fix any shortcomings because when I have to shoot for real there are going to be lives at stake.

I Echo what all the other have said. To make what you have learned so deeply set in youre head you just react in a SD situation. You are able to perform because you practiced so many times it is just instictive to do the same thing when it really happens. Thats the goal of training, but you never really know what might happen.

One of my main goals in training is to gain competence that leads to confidence. Being confident often leads to a demeanor that communicates to people that you can handle problems. The common criminal doesn't want a fight. He wants an easy victim. If you don't look like an easy victim you're not likely to be attacked or even targeted.
Since you win every gunfight you can avoid, and criminals tend to avoid tough targets, I'd prefer to look like a tough target. Training gives me the confidence I need to communicate that on a subconscious level. |

When I started, my goal was safety (for myself): I wanted to be able to safely use the tools I had decided to carry.
Not long after that, my goal became safety (for others): I did not want my decision to protect myself to endanger innocent others. My final goal, the one that still drives me today, was to become better at meeting those two non-negotiable baselines in a wider variety of situations and contexts. The better able I am to perform the physical skills, the more my brain is freed up to solve the problem at hand. And that's ultimately what it's all about. pax |

This is another one of those questions where I'm not sure if the OP is joking or actually ignorant and looking for knowledge.
The dictionary defines being trained as: to make proficient by instruction and practice, as in some art, profession, or work: to train soldiers. Therefor, training, is the pursuit of the above noted definition. |

It would really suck if a person was drawing his weapon and dropped it due to a lack of practise or training as some put it. I prefer to call it practise and as we all know practise makes perfect. It is how a guy can draw and fire hitting his intended target, without training or practise it will be almost impossible to do that.
Same as any skill set, more you do it the easier it becomes to do. So practise what is important to you like getting the gun out of the holster and on target as fast as possible. Without practise and or training you may not make it in time. A good trainer can watch what you do and how you do it, offer up pointers that may help you. Why do they train anything? if it wasnt beneficial? |

Only perfect practice -- repetitively doing something properly and perfectly -- makes perfect. Training (preferably hands-on training with someone qualified) will show one how to do something properly and therefore what to practice. |

For range/competition: To be accurate and consistent regardless of external stimulus.

Yeah, I didn't word it all that well. I was interested in each person's personal goals...What they train for and why it's important to them. For two reasons. 1) cause i find it interesting, and 2) to help me better understand my own fascination.

What are the horrible incidents that happened in KC? I'm not calling the Bonds booing in Phillie a horrible incident, but I can't recall anything that has happened in KC that even approaches cheering Michael Irvin when he is injured, booing Mike Schmidt for playing below HoF level, booing the hometown Kobe Bryant at an All-Star Game, throwing batteries at any player, or needing a courthouse inside a stadium to handle all the problems that happen.

This Airsoft gun I would reccomend to somebody who is familiar with airsoft guns. I would say it is 95% accurate. You should be careful with it because my battery lid came cracked, the folding stock got loose and I had to super glue it back on. Other that this is an amazing Airsoft gun!

Mediums - Do you believe

#1Posted 09 November 2012 - 01:54 PM
Hi Everyone,
I have just updated my blog it's mostly about my experience with seeing a medium and just about what i am going through now 4 months after losing my son Michael. i was just wondering what do you all think? Do you think it's a bunch of huey or it's real?? my hubby thinks it's evil spirits that are channelled and i could bring on a satanic attack on my family "That's a bit much i think" Would love to hear your opinions #2Posted 09 November 2012 - 01:58 PM
I so desperately want to believe its real after 'hearing from my dad' bur I always think there will be that 0.01% of me that is sceptical.
#3Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:00 PM
I know ChunkyCook i feel exactly the same way i really want to believe i connected with my Nenne but damnit there is still that 1% of me that just can't believe it
Edited by caroldiem, 09 November 2012 - 02:01 PM. #4Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:05 PM
No. I think when you're dead, you're dead.
There is a small part of me though that sometimes wonders if I'm wrong. I thought about it a lot when my dad died a few months ago. He believed there was an afterlife where his parents and first wife were waiting for him. I never said anything about my thoughts to him though, as it was bringing him comfort when he knew he didn't have long left. He always said he would show mum that he was watching over her, somehow. I still don't believe it's true, but I hope for mums sake that I am wrong. ETA- My DH OTOH completely believes that death is not the end, that there is an afterlife, and those there continue to have dealings with this world, especially if they left unfinished business. Edited by bakesgirls, 09 November 2012 - 02:19 PM. #5Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:06 PM I think some are good and some think they are good. In my 20's I saw a few clairvoyants, the absolute best one I saw was overseas and was able to give me very very detailed and accurate information about my past and my family. I have no doubt that the message she gave me was true. #6Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:07 PM
Yeah bakesgirls my hubby and his side of the family will all agree with you but i don't believe that, not after what i experienced, the energy in the room was palpable it was amazing
Thankyou for sharing your opinion #7Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:12 PM
I have never seen a medium, so can't answer that one,but have had several encounters with spirits. One a couple of ocassions I have been with someone else and we have both seen/heard it and knew we were not imagining.
The best one I had was with my Mum about 2 months after she died #8Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:13 PM
OOOOo Beancat that is fascinating are you able to elaborate on the experience you had with your Mum?
#9Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:26 PM
I think it might be possible, but - like your DH - I'd be concerned that it's not safe. Energy can come from different sources, and how we feel about something isn't always the most reliable guide to its reality.
#10Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:28 PM
I believe.
I saw a medium too (Charmaine Wilson) and there was just stuff that she could NOT know, no guess work could guess what she knew about people she read. It was amazing. I was a believer before seeing her and watching her cemented it for me. #11Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:31 PM QUOTE (Ange Vert @ 09/11/2012, 03:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it might be possible, but - like your DH - I'd be concerned that it's not safe. Energy can come from different sources, and how we feel about something isn't always the most reliable guide to its reality. Agree. It is a hard one though when things you are told seem to fit. I would like to see a clairovoyant to get life guidence but I am scared of where their 'sources' are coming from, even though I know people who have had very positive experiences with some. Sorry for your loss OP #12Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:31 PM
I was always very much in the 'when you are dead, that's the end' camp. When my DH was a child, he was involved in a very serious accident and wasn't expected to survive. The doctors had to 'bring him back' several times. After one of these times, he was able to recall a conversation his sister had (she was not in the room) with absolute accuracy. So I do kind of think that death isn't the end and that loved ones who pass away are still able to be near us.
#13Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:07 PM
When I was little (round 7) my Mum had an emergency hysterectomy and died 3x on the operating table and was brought back with the paddles and given 14 bags of blood.
She was taken to hospital and operated on as an emergency - ie NOT pre-booked or pre-planned. Her best friend is a medium who was living overseas at the time, and she rang Dad in a PANIC the same day, saying "what has happened to (Mum)? She has visited me in a meditation and couldn't find her body and I had to guide her back!" There is no way for her to have known this - even Dad didn't know as she was still in theatre/recovery! Dad is an atheist and non-believer in ghosts etc but cannot explain it at all. So yes, I believe mediums CAN speak to the dead if they want to be spoken to. I think good ones are harder to find. I am not sure if they can control "who" comes through - possibly negative as well as positive can, but I am not sure. I think if YOU took something positive from it - that is a good thing. #14Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:16 PM
lynnemine - your post gave me goosebumps, wow!
#15Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:17 PM
That is amazing Lynnemine! I am a believer too but I think it's hard to find a good one. I saw Deb Webber off sensing murder and she was fantastic. Would love to see her again..
#16Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:24 PM
I believe, I saw with a friend just after Craig passed away for the first time and nearly eveything that came from DH through her that would happen has come to fruition and some yet to happen.
Since then I have felt DH hear at times and can 80% of the time tell where in the house he is. Other things happen around here that makes me feel DH is here. I know some people will find what I am saying weird, but even the kids have seen spirits over the years. The medium I saw spoke of where DH and I had our wedding photos taken and where our honeymoon was (my friend didn't know this information) Edited by purpleblackqueen, 09 November 2012 - 04:26 PM. #17Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:27 PM
I do, I don't believe that all people who claim to be mediums or clairvoyant are. I would consider some to be fraudsters and also some people are just incredibly intuative and talented at reading body language whether they are aware of it or not.
It was something I grew up around and even as I've gotten older and distanced myself from the community I still believe. I wouldn't be too concerned about the evil aspects that your husband is worried about. In my experience most mediums/psycics or clairvoyants undertake a long journey of training and research before they start seeing clients. Depending on who you see - they also use spirit guides and request protection i.e calling for the protection from the Archangel Michael before proceeding and can usually determine whether the source is negitive or not. #18Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:30 PM
Oh Caroldeiem,
I can't begin to imagine the pain that you are going through trying to come to terms with your loss. My heart breaks for you and I still think of you often. But no, I think Mediums are a crock. But I also think God is a crock, the devil is a crock, fairies are a crock, santa (even santa) is a crock. It would make more sense to me that a "believer" believed in Mediums. However my DH is a believer and he thinks they're a crock (a dangerous crock). I really hope you find the continual strength that you need, all the best. #19Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:48 PM
lynnemine - WOW i really believe that i was told by the medium that when you have anaesthetic and are in surgery for a decent period of time teh spirit can't cope with it so it's expelled from the body, what an amazing story
purpleblackqueen - I was told that when you think of your loved one who has passed that they are actually there visiting you, you know how you can go about your day going through the motions and then suddenly your loved one pops in your head that means he is with you probably giving you a hug i am sure Craig is with you and your kids always rabbit hyde - You are right the medium i saw had extensive training and she told me she always had her spirit guides in the wings to protect her so that makes me believe it was nenne who came through and the stuff that was said already some has come to fruition Dinos - Thankyou for your thoughts Edited by caroldiem, 09 November 2012 - 04:48 PM. #20Posted 09 November 2012 - 04:55 PM

purpleblackqueen - My heart goes out to you too, you have also suffered a very huge and significant loss my heart broke when i read your story
This life really is a journey and the facts are at some point in life we are all going to lose a loved one #23Posted 09 November 2012 - 05:01 PM
I'm a Christian and I believe in God. But I also believe in the afterlife and that it is the spirits of humans. However I am sceptical about a lot of so called Mediums. I do believe there will be the genuine few. But I do believe the majority are just making a living. I wouldn't go to a pyshic myself and feel uncomfortable with the rituals surrounded by it (ie purposely making contact with the dead). However... I have seen too many figures, forms, lights and things that I cannot explain to deny that there is something there. But as a Christian I don't know what to do about it, and I don't necessarily believe it is just angels/demons as the Christian perspective tells in the kinds of churches I've been involved in. Now my daughter is starting to tell me she sees things. But she can't elaborate, but I have suspected this since she was a baby. We had an incident in one house we lived in for a short time, where I was seeing very true forms over me almost every night - and it was actually quite horrifying for me. At the same time my daughter would wake up every night screaming, until one night we moved her into a different room and she was fine thereon. To say we didn't stay in that house - we heard later the previous owners had been extremely abusive and had a bit of a history with the kids. I don't know what went on, but I think it attracted a negative energy of some sort (however that works) as my Mum who seems also to be quite spiritually sensitive always had a bad vibe about the house, and my husband and I had big relationship problems only whilst at that house. We couldn't wait to leave. But I do believe there is a definite spiritual world. Therefore I have to believe there are mediums who are genuine. But I believe there are crocs out there too just in it for the money and that annoys me. And honestly I don't know what to make of the things that I see, nor what to do with it. Especially as Christian beliefs so often contradict my own personal experiences.

Introducing leggings. You'll never run out of inspiration.
Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel. In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced. They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better. Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece. They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border to assist in framing.
