Hello friends,
I have recently bought a new Xperia arc S from an online shop. The item is delivered just in time and, unfortunately, already unboxed.
The phone itself looks good. However i see it has a stamp with some Chinese words after removing the back cover.
The box is looks quite old. And the seal sticked on the box was printed with typo errors: mobil instead of mobile, insder instead of insider.
All above things make me confuse and feel like i have bought a faked phone.
Please, SE technicians and fans, take a look at the attached photos and help me clarify the problem.
Thank you very much for your support.
Solved! Go to Solution.
that chinese symbol is odd..
i dont know if you read the terms and conditions of the site..but no site delevers unboxed items..
just download pc companion on your computer..
conect your phone ( you will get a pop up saying install pc companion ) if PCC recognises your phone then it must be a real arc s :smileywink:
I think it's a copy of the original ARC S. But certainly a good copy i guess.
In the last picture have you seen one information is given wrong.
EDGE is written as EDEG
In an original box Sony Ericsson will never do that kind of mistake.
And also in the device back sticker it should be written that Made by China or Sony Ericsson.
wrttien on my device, i saw.
I am not an expert but, It's probably a copy or little bit used then repaired. Because there is a little sticker just beside the SIM tray, and there something is written by a PEN, which is surprising.
In a brand new device nothing will be there like this unless, you buy from Carrier.
This is how my ARC S box sticker looks like.
you are absolutely right..
the spelling mistake..
i was searching for the box only on google..but there was no pic of this..and my box is in another rom downstairs..will check mine also and update it hjere..
I've just downloaded and installed the Sony Ericsson PC Companion software. After tethering, PC Companion recognized my phone as Xperia arc S (LT18). However, as printed in the phone's box and the back of the phone (when removing the back cover and battery), my phone is LT18i instead of LT18.
Does this make any sense that my phone is really a faked one?
it's the same thing, there are 2 versions of pretty much each Xperia (but Xperia Play, there are 3)
LT18i and LT18a, the only difference is the 3G frequency

Below link is the hardware information of my Xperia arc S reported by the Android System Info app:
Please help me confirm if it is correct or not.
If it is correct then i think my phone is, hopefully, not a faked one.
it doesn't seem to be a fake phone

Eliot & Eads, an Americana rock band of St. Louis natives, is recording an album about the heartland. Help them complete the record!
About this project
We are Eliot & Eads: a three-man band (Pete, Alex, & Sam) from St. Louis, Missouri. We're trying to complete our first studio album, The Flyover States. The album is a study of the places that have left a significant impact on us during our most formative years, and we believe this sense of place and sense of self will speak to all who hear our record. In short, it's about knowing who you are, remembering where you come from, and finding home, wherever that may be.
The album has come together over the past several months with the advent of Alex's senior project, but really found its roots several years ago when the group (then nameless) wrote a few of the existing songs on The Flyover States and attempted to record them. We think this recent iteration of our recording truly brings the lyrics and music to life. Over the years, we've learned a lot about the people and places we were talking about in those first recordings, and this background has given us incredible motivation to create The Flyover States, as best we are able.
Our friends and fans have donated time, talent, and overwhelming support throughout the entire process, and their contributions have made this album increasingly more meaningful to us.
But we need your help.
Though we have made incredible progress with the resources we have, the album remains unfinished. Many of the technical aspects necessary to complete and release the record, including mastering, distribution, and licensing, don't come cheap.
As a group of recent college graduates, this is not something we can afford on our own. We have made all of the financial contributions we can to help make this album a reality, but more significantly, we have made innumerable other sacrifices along the way: from Sam driving up from New Orleans to record bass and banjo tracks, to Pete recording demo takes and arrangements in his small DC bedroom, to Alex spending many late nights editing audio and video in Philadelphia.
We want nothing more than to do this album justice by making it sound as great as possible. Your financial contribution will help us pay to have the record professionally mastered so the final product is polished and well-produced. These funds will also help us pay for all of the licenses and agreements necessary to distribute The Flyover States so it can be found on iTunes and other popular music vendors.
We can't thank you enough for considering a contribution to The Flyover States. Anything you can give, from financial support to spreading the word, means a lot to us!

Move monsters into your evil apartment building and start collecting rent to fill your coffers! Buy furniture and improve your tenants' rooms to make them happier. Adjust their rent to match their lifestyle to make them really happy!
The world of Unholy Heights is filled with all kinds of monsters waiting to move into your apartment, but they all have different needs. Some hate the cold, while some only feel at home surrounded by luxurious furnitiure. Make sure to keep your tenants happy, or they'll run out on you and their lease!
It's inevitable that rumors of an apartment building full of monsters would eventually reach the ears of the no-good humans. Would-be heroes, bloodthirsty pirates, cunning thieves and conniving mages all have their sights on The Devil's gold! Knock on doors and call your residents to your side! They want a war? We'll give 'em a war!
For those that enjoy the demo but don't want to start their slum over from the beginning in the full version, Unholy Heights' full version supports demo save transfer. Simply take the save file from your demo, drop it in the right folder, and start playing. If only world domination was that easy!
Defeat invaders, collect cash, and upgrade your apartment building! Recruit an army of monstrous residents and aim for world domination!
There are plenty of monsters in the world of Unholy Heights, each falling under a specific family of creatures. What's the difference between all the creature families? You'll just have to play the game to find that out!

With Satan as your landlord, Unholy Heights has a refreshing concept. It's really awesome to control the devil himself and to rule a complex full with nutjobs. Strange fact is that some renters may leave spontaneously, which is kind of a let-down for this game. But before you know it, you will have spent hours trying to please your renters. 7.5/10 - XGN "Unholy Heights" -

I guess it all started about four years ago.
I was working part time for my relatives, managing a block of apartments they owned. One of the tenants suddenly moved away without paying their last rent payment or any other fees. It was then that I knew.
"I'm going to make a game about this!"
Over time I noticed the number of apartments which had snowboards leaning against the side of their balconies increased, and that got me thinking [about the lives and hobbies of tenants] too.
I remember some (kinda creepy) old man telling me that he'd moved into the building because it was close to his workplace. Before long he was shacking up with a young lady from one of the other apartments. I guess that had an effect on me, too.
It was experiences like this that formed the basic concept for this game.

Since moving to Wentworthville 8mths ago, I decided 4 weeks ago to look for a new doctor. I wanted to make some general health enquiries & also take the time to find someone I trusted & build a good repore. Little did I know that my first meeting with Dr Madas would be life changing!
To ensure that Dr Madas was able to give me thorough care, he applied for a copy of my medical records from my previous medical centre. After reviewing this information, he noticed that I had an abnormal pap smear result 2yrs ago & had seen a specialist/received treatment at that time. He enquired when my last visit was & I recalled that I was overdue - I had missed my reminder letter when I moved residence. He insisted that I return to the specialist for a followup visit without delay. The following week I was tested by the specialist & was contacted 2 days later to come in urgently to discuss the results. I was informed that I had abnormal cell activity which indicated early stages of cervical cancer & 2 days later I was admitted to hospital for removal.
Today (2 wks later) I returned to Dr Madas for the first time since & had the pleasure of showing my gratitude in person. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate his thorough work ethic & genuine pleasure at seeing me healthy once more.
I have definitely found my new doctor.

I love the whole experience of buying records. The smell that hits you when you first walk into a crammed shop full of vinyl. Bliss. (Smells similar to a carpeted library, which I also love the smell of). The searching through dozens and dozens of them until you find one that you quite like. Maybe getting the store owner to play it while you look for some more (only nice ones do that though). Much better than buying a CD off of the internet.

And I just looked at my vinyl, and it's signed "Phil & Ronnie" in the runout groove. I love stuff like that.
Phil & Ronnie?? Not "Spector", surely?

I got a couple cool items. Aside from the usual stuff like CD's, books, t shirts, etc. Some of the stuff i really value include an early hardcover 2nd or 3rd print of John's in his own write, a Corgi made die cast yellow submarine, a set of the mcfarlane yellow submarice figures and some cool records including a copy of Ringo with the book and some interesting Dutch records.
Actually while we're on this topic i'm thinking of picking up a set of 1964 bobbleheads off ebay. There's a couple options i'm looking at one of which i think is pretty cheap except that George is missing the back of his head and is unattached from the rest of his body. I can glue it though and it should still look presentable from the front.
I live in Toronto, and there used to be an incredible store here called the Beatlemania shoppe. The guy had everything at a time when you couldn't buy much beatles memorabilia at all. He used to float around and move locations and i'm pretty sure he's closed up shop a number of years ago, but man that store was like a wonderland.

I have everything from a pair of Lennon's owned and worn pants...one of his owned and worn t-shirts...a hat he wore in Bermuda in 1980...a pair of his long john pants from 1970 from Denmark...his bathtowels from Kenwood...one of his mantle clocks from the Dakota...a tiki figure owned by Lennon...one of his radical newspapers from 1972...a guitar pic used by McCartney in 1976...a water bottle used by Macca in 1989...a guitar case that was used by George...a dark horse records promo shirt that belonged to George...a pair of Ringo's used drumsticks from 2000...a silk necktie that was owned and worn and signed by Ringo...a inch 15 splash cymbal that was used by Ringo...books that belonged to Stu Sutcliffe...Sutcliffe sketches...handwritten poetry from Sutcliffe...a Sutcliffe signature...autographs...(together & solo)...bedsheet swatches from the 1964 US tour...(Boston...NYC...Detroit...Kansas City...San Fran...and Cincinnati in 1966)...4 different displays of hair...a handwritten "to do"list from John Lennon from 1980...a handwritten letter from McCartney in April 1970...signed receipts from George in 1966...a signed Parlophone Records promo card from late 1962...a signed'Paperback Writer/Rain" picture sleeve from Ringo...some of Lennon's silver ware from Kenwood...and my list goes on...
14 April 2010
A most impressive list to say the least. What intrigues me most is "handwritten poetry from Sutcliffe…a Sutcliffe signature…".
A. How did you ever procure these?
B. How were they authenticated?
30 September 2012
2 October 2012
Hey Zig...The Sutcliffe poetry was taken from one of his Hamburg journals from 1960 that came up for auction...I've dealt with the major auction houses...the signature was clipped from one of Stu's workbooks at the Liverpool College Of Art. My Lennon pants come from Sotheby's...the Lennon hat from Christie's..Lennon's towels are also from Christie's...etc.I deal with Frank Caiazzo...Paul Wane of TRACKS...and others.My major items come from the auction houses...the other items come from some of the best memorabilia dealers in the US and the UK...

Dealing with Beatles memorabilia for as long as I have...it's amazing to see the prices that the good stuff gets at auction.If you've got a piece of Beatles memorabilia...it will rise in value. If you've got something that was signed...handwritten...owned...used...touched...or worn...by any of The Beatles...you COULD be sitting on a small fortune.

Hey MKR...Glad you approve.I know Pete...the guy who had the Beatlemania shoppe...known him for years...I've done several of his shows up there in Canada...nice guy...
cool. so has he totally closed up shop for good? nothing really pops up on the internet except for outdated info.

beatlejim55 said
Yeah,...he's been closed for a while now.Where do you get your stuff???
Oh ya i thought so. It's a shame thought because it was a great place. The funny thing is i used to pop down there back when i was a broke student. Now that i actually have some disposable money, the place doesn't exist! ALthough i guess it's far easier now to buy beatle stuff as lots of stores have trinkets and what not officially licensed and otherwise. If i'm in the mood to pick up something more unusual or rare i usually check out ebay now. Which reminds me that i am waiting on those bobbleheads i ended up buying them.
I still can't get over that list you provided mate. it's unreal.
2 October 2012
What's unreal?...my stuff?...nah...I've been lucky to be able to have the stuff I've got. There are other collectors with better stuff then mine. I love John Lennon...I'm always looking for Lennon memorabilia...stuff that he wore...or owned.The unusual stuff...when I do a show,I always get a great reception from the fans...I like sharing the collection with the fans...what's the use of having the stuff if you don't share it...My wife has a huge collection of vintage Disney memorabilia...toys...artwork from the films...she has stuff from 1933 thru 1963...the house looks like a museum...
3 May 2012
How can you be sure that it is all original though, and not just any old necktie that someone has copied Ringo's signature on??
I've always got my eye out for things like these (on ebay, mainly) but I have no idea how to to tell what is actually what it says it is. I imagine the majority of what's on ebay isn't.

Hey fabfouremily...Because I do my research on Beatles autographs...and I've learned from the best...and I buy from the best. I've been doing this for almost 26 years...I'm pretty good at spotting fakes...the Ringo signed necktie was given to a Princess Diana celebrity clothing auction...Ringo was asked to donate an item of clothing...he sent them a maroon colored tie...signed it...and I also have a signed note from Ringo on his company letterhead...(Rocca Bella Inc.)."Here's a necktie for your auction...Good Luck....Ringo"...
Beatles autographs are the most forged autographs on the market because of their value.If you want real Beatles autographs or Beatles handwriting...your going to have to pay for it.There are no sets of Beatles autographs or a signed Beatles album for
100 bucks.

So...did you buy his tooth or were you outbid at auction?
But seriously folks...some of our Forum members have posted pics of some of their loot. If you have any to share, it would be fantastic.

The condition known as "carpet reversal" often develops after carpets have been cleaned using the extraction method. And very often, customers blame the problem on the technician, as it creates a permanent change in the appearance of carpeting that has to do with the way in which light reflects off the surface of the carpet's material.
This problem typically occurs in the kind of densely constructed plush carpeting often installed in large hotels and ballrooms.
When carpet reversal occurs, some areas of the carpet will appear light when viewed from one angle and dark when viewed from another direction. Worse, the condition may get more noticeable over time. The carpet may look as though it has water damage, or as though it did not properly dry in some areas after cleaning. This is why carpet reversal is sometimes referred to as "water marking."
"The first thing carpet cleaning techs should know is it is not their fault," says Doug Berjer, CFR Product Manager. "Why the carpet lays uniformly when installed and then becomes distorted, showing light and dark areas after cleaning, is somewhat of a mystery."
According to Berjer, while it may be difficult, technicians must explain to customers that carpet reversal is not a defect in the carpet, nor is it caused by technicians or the carpet extraction process. There is not a quick or permanent fix that will correct the problem.
Here are some suggestions that may correct carpet reversal:
- Clean the problem area again using carpet extraction.
- Brush or rake the carpet, trying to get the carpet piles all going in the same direction.
- Vacuum the problem area.

These Players Ben Bernanke Listed Young Players From Eastern
Has our secret service become scumbags they and their name has shamed our country, shamed their families maybe Ben Bernanke their next jobs will be. these players listed (young players from eastern europe and south america) can be attained on relatively low wages - this is how porto have managed (recruiting players on relatively low wages, but paying transfer fees in the region of 7-10 million euros to the best prospects in argentina, colombia, ecuador, uruguay etc). you watch the media who doesn t tell you the truth about squat. every day more and more data is being amassed that show us speeding toward a climate cliff where there might be no way back to the place we created our society in. the issue is, if not drone bombing, then what how do you stop the terrorists.

Re: Finger Lakes,NY to Key West,Fl.
up late- or realy early, depends how you look at it.
Fell asleep listening to the election on the radio.
woke up and the fire in the wood stove was down to embers. Stoked it up good, gotta' keep my peep's warm and healthy.
The dinghy repair worked like a charm,good ol' 3m 5200 luv that stuff. Oh, and to be clear I have 2 dinghies one is a hard dinghy 8' (the former lleaker) and the other is the Deflatable, it's like new (or was when I packed it b-4 we left NY) I haven't even inflated the Deflatable yet, been using the leaker. I'm planning on registering the Deflatable in Fl. so I can legaly run the 3.5 johnson on it when in the warm water. that's why I'm using the oars for now. Don't want to make any donations to the justice system along the way, so I row for now and leave the motor on the rail.
The -new to me- mainsail hoisted great after I installed 15-20 cringles and the sliders. Unfortunately it has no reef points,yet.
If I get back to Bacon's in the next day or so, I'll get what I need to add one or two reef points. I need a couple battens as well.
My Coat fits great and will keep me warm and dry, adding to the comfort level muchly,and reducing fatigue and stress, making it alll good.
Today the first best mate baked chocolate cookies w/ assistence from our cabin girl "Marina" and I busied myself doing maint/cleanup on deck.
Then, I couldn't help but take the now non-leaking dinghy for a run. What a joy it is to row and not have to bail between strokes w/ wet cold feet.The crew is very pleased w/ the possibilities.
On my dinghy joyride I visited/pestered the neighbors on their cool panda 40 near me , they are getting ready to split fri as well (after the storm passes) they said they have a car and asked if I needed to go to the grocery.
Of course I'm always up for a grocery run, as it is one of the few times I'm almost not sad about opening the vault.
I really dig food, itls so comforting.
So, we'll all be shopping a bit later.
Also, while on my row I went ashore to stretch my legs and found a place that sells firewood. I think I startled the lady in the house when I knocked as it was dusk,and folks here in Annapolis seem a bit leary of me when I don't have the crew w/me to "soften the appearance" as #1 put's it.
After I assured the lady I was only there to inquire about the firewood for sale, she gave me the phone number to call in the morning to set up a firewood pick-up (guess I shoulda' combed my hair/beard b-4 knockin'). Nothing like good aged dried split hardwood to burn.beats the driftwood/fallen stuff.
So, If I don't have to get a snow shovel to clear the deck we should be off on our way again friday.
Stay warm- thanks for listenin'

After getting over all the school work, home work and beating up of my brain for college I figured I deserved a day off at the range. So I called up my buddy Lloyd and suggested we pop some caps. Lloyd shows up bright and early Friday morning and we start loading guns into Sarges jeep. First the rifles, 5 rifles, two boxes of ammo for each rifle, cleaning rod, cleaning cradle, bench rest for rifles, spotting scope, range box full of targets and staplers. "Any more Sarge? Lloyd asks. "Yeh need a tripod for the spotting scope and then we can start with the pistols." "Pistols?" how many guns are we taking?" Lloyd asks. "Enough to shoot all day, here is the 2 wheeler, get that crate of 7.62x51 NATO ammo out of the garage." says Sarge "Jeesss Sarge are we going to war?" asks Lloyd. "I'm glad you mentioned that lets take some C- Rations too and grab a couple of those ear muffs off the rack." rejoined Sarge. "OK now lets get your gun packed in and head for the range." Sarge backs the Jeep out, then reverses and drives back in the drive way. "Now what are we doing, Sarge?" asks Lloyd. "Maybe we should put a little more air in the Jeep tires, that ammo is bogging us down a little. There 40 lbs got them up off the sidewalls. Lets go!" "Ahhh got the whole range to ourselves. Start unloading." 30 min. later "Sarge, how come I got to unload all the Jeep and all you do is put the targets up?" complains Lloyd. "Well my buddy, it is like this. You have to have years of experience to get the target up right. You put it just a little off center and your shots will not hit the middle. You do want to sight that little rifle of yours so it hits the middle don't you?" "Yeh, I guess you know what you are doing. You going to help me sight my rifle in?" asks Lloyd "No sweat my friend I will get that puppy sighted in perfectly or until you run out of the ammo you brought which ever happens first." " What are we going to shoot first Sarge?" asks Lloyd "Well let's start with my buddy gun." " Buddy Gun? What is a buddy gun?" questions Lloyd. " Well a buddy gun is one you load up and then hand it to your buddy and say 'Here you shoot it first,' that is what a buddy gun is, now take this Winchester .458, this here is a true buddy gun. It is loaded up now so Here you shoot it first." "OK" Lloyd draws down on the target and....... "Well I bet that was a little surprise after you being used to your 30-30 Win, here let me help you up. Your glasses are somewhere around here." We got lots of ammo for this baby so just go ahead and shoot to your hearts content. says Sarge "Well you did a good job there Lloyd except for that one shot that hit that tree over there you kept most of them on the berm." "Your 30-30 is all sighted in for you, next time bring more than 4 boxes of ammo OK?" "Now lets go to the pistol range and shoot some fun guns." "Now I know you are used to your .22 pistol but this here is the real man's gun. A Colt 45 acp Combat Commander. It is a little smaller than the big full sized Colt automatic but don't let that worry you, smaller gun means smaller kick. Now let me load up a clip of hard ball for you and you can see if you can hit that target at 25 yards." "This isn't a buddy gun is it Sarge?" queries Lloyd. "Of course not my friend this is a man's gun just like I said. You can handle it. Uhhh probably ought to use both hands and stand a little further away from me. OK" "Right Sarge, you sure know a lot about guns. Where is the safety? " "Right here, OOOPPPS had your finger on the trigger didn't you? Boy I bet that smarts!! There is a first Aid kit in the Jeep, I'll just shoot your .22 pistol for a while while you get bandaged up. "OK now all ready again?" That is your target up there, just line the sights up, wait till I get behind something, and touch it off!" " Hey see I knew you could do it!" knocked your hat right off didn't it. Well doesn't look like it broke the skin, so you don't need the first aid kit again. OK now this time use both hands and stretch them out away from your face, yeh that is better, stop shaking, it won't hurt." OK have at...... well not to bad but we should be hitting the target not the ground, try it again. Hey that was closer another couple of clips and you should be to the bottom of the target frame. Keep it up, you got any more .22 ammo? Well Lloyd you might have to go down a little from a 45 to start, I have here a .38 Super. smaller bullet, smaller kick. A 147 gr FMJ at 1400 fps ought to be a ***** cat to shoot. I have been working up this load for weeks but never got up the nerve to shoot it. So you are going to be the privileged one. "How was that, by golly that brass case can really hit you can't it. A little hot too, is that your shirt smoking? Here try putting it out with this coffee. I'll get the first aid kit." "Sorry, it was the only thing I had that was wet, burned a little didn't it. That is what I like hot hot coffee, you really get the flavor when it is boiling hot. Yeh, but I don't know what you are complaining about, it put the fire out didn't it?" "Well Lloyd it is time to quit, we are all out of the ammo you brought. Next time you should consider bringing more. How did you like your first day at the range? Here let me help you with that rifle it is hard to carry it with your hands all bandaged. And can you see alright to make it to the door? Most of the swelling seems to be going down. Yeh so long to you too Lloyd hope you can come again." Sarge happily drives on home satisfied that he has started another fellow man on the way to a wonderful fun filled hobby. OK you guys don't jump all over me. This is actually a spoof. My buddy Lloyd is an accomplished shooter and hunter. He can shoot most any gun made and can out shoot me when it comes to rifles. (I got him on pistols tho) The reason I wrote this you will soon see. After this was published I sent a copy of it to Lloyd and in a few days my phone rang. It was Lloyd. When I picked up the phone all I heard was laughing, good belly laughing and finally he sputtered and choked to a stop and said, "You ornry sidewinder, snake in the grass, there ain't a day that I couldn't out shoot you with any gun." "So you liked the story huh? Sarge asked. "Yeah it was great, brings back a lot of shooting memories Sarge." Said Lloyd. So the two old friends talked for a half an hour or so and then Lloyd said he had to go, he was getting tired and Sarge reluctantly rang off. In a couple of days Sarge was on his way to Alaska for a year of work on the pipe line. Less than a month later Lt. Linda called him and told him that Lloyd had died. He had fought that cancer for over a year but it finally got him. For Sarge he will miss his friend greatly,but will always remember the last conversation they had and the great big belly laugh that Lloyd managed to get even though he was in lots of pain. And that was the way Sarge wanted to remember him. Laughing and reminiscing about our hunting and shooting trips. Sarge

When I first started with virtualization, the only option you had at the time was single core processors in the hosts. Scale up or scale out was the hot debatable topic when designing your infrastructure. On one side of the coin the idea was to scale up in that it was best to get a few of the biggest servers you could find and load them up with as much memory and processors that you could fit in the box. The end result were some very expensive servers able to run a lot of virtual machines for its time. The other side of the coin presented the idea that it was better to scale out with more, smaller servers to make up the cluster. I have worked in both type of environments and attitudes over the years and as for me, personally, I aligned myself with the scale out philosophy. The simple reason for aligning with the scale out group was host failure.

Presentation Virtualization: what can VMworld do for me lately?
• • 0 Comments
If you're from a Presentation Virtualization (PV) background (although maybe you know it as Terminal Services (TS); possibly even a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS); heck lets go on an old school 'server based computing' perspective) what vendors should you be looking out for at VMworld?
In my Preparing for the VMworld Pilgrimage post last week, I went over some things, namely hotel and airfare, which you should have confirmed by now if you are planning on attending VMworld 2010 in San Francisco. I have heard through the grapevine that there are going to be around 15,000 people in attendance this year so it is shaping to be another great event. This post is going with the assumption that your travel, logging, sessions and labs have been booked and taken care of. With that said, what is the best way to stay current and get the most out of the week? I would like to present the thought that the VMTN Community Lounge / Blogger Area is a good place to start. If you are looking to meet some of the most active individuals in virtualization, this will be a place that you should consider checking in periodically throughout the week.
There are some applications that are "never" going to go into a public cloud and the monitoring of those applications is not going to be done on a MaaS basis either. However, the ease with which these solutions can be purchased, initially deployed and then managed on an ongoing basis means that for applications that fit into a public cloud deployment scenario (you can live with the security and performance issues of the public cloud), MaaS is a very viable option for the monitoring of these applications and may represent the future of monitoring just as Cloud Computing may represent the future of computing.
The Consolidated server stack has been the big items over the last year using converged network adapters, blades, and integrated storage that is designed around providing an order-able element that is a single SKU that provides enough resources for a set number of VMs. Currently the VCE colition has the VBlock which combines VMware, Cisco, and EMC products into a single stack. HP has its Matrix stack. But where is IBM's and Dell's stacks. Could the acquisition of 3Par be the beginning of a integrated stack play from Dell?
VMworld is clearly the largest dedicated virtualization conference, and yet from an Open Source perspective it is slightly disappointing because the VMware ecosystem naturally attracts proprietary software vendors, and also some of the more interesting activities in Open Source are through multi-vendor foundations which do not have the same marketing budgets as vendors themselves.
Nevertheless, there are a number of key Open Source players, and some interesting smaller players, represented at VMworld.

wow this is actually pretty cool, I can draw a lil bit too mind if I joined?
If you guys are actually serious about what you're doing you should pool together and hire me to do a few high-quality pieces of art for you. It looks like you could benefit at all levels of completion in your art dept from someone who knows their way around a pencil or stylus and can draw something other than anime furries. BTW, a lot of your older threads no longer have their artwork images displayed. This is what you'd be getting for your money. A higher res version of the finished painting is in the gallery.

I would be interested in knowing a bit more about this, can't rightly pledge time to something I don't know enough about.

i'm very interested about this. sent you an email!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our "Highlights of Jordan Week" (April 21–27). In co-operation with 'Visit Jordan', we'll announce the winner of the adventure of a lifetime in an upcoming post right here on the Looptail—and on Twitter and Facebook. Stay tuned!
Amman is often the starting point to explore Jordan, and many travelers just transit right through out. But Amman is worth exploring – spend a couple of days to walk its bustling downtown market streets, visit the ancient Citadel and Roman Amphitheatre, and enjoy Jordanian food.
Here are our recommendations on how to make the most of Amman in 48 hours.
The First 24 Hours
VISIT: Go up to the Citadel and walk through thousands of years of history and layers of civilizations. The historical overview you get here not only provides historical context for Amman, but for all of Jordan. Be sure to stop in the Citadel Archeological Museum to see some fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Citadel is on a hill in the city of Amman, and so it provides great views over the city on a clear day.
VISIT: Take a walk down Rainbow Street in downtown Amman and pop into the different shops and cafes that have opened up here in recent years.
EAT: For some of the best falafel in town, stop by Al-Quds for a regular or super-sized falafel sandwich. This may make you think of falafel in a completely different way.
VISIT: Wander the streets of downtown Amman below Rainbow Street where you'll find the hustle and bustle of market streets in a busy city. We really enjoyed dipping into spice shops and just taking in the sensory overload of color and smell. There are also some fun fabric and antique shops in this area.
EAT: Start your meal with hummus and foul (a fava bean dish) at Hashem on Al-Amir Mohammed St. The food is quick, fresh, delicious and also cheap. It's no wonder this place is teaming with people at all hours of the day.
Even if you are stuffed, we encourage you to go across the way to Habibah for a slice of knafeh, a sweet made from a white cheese base with semolina bits baked on top and covered in sweet syrup. Very, very decadent. You can't miss this place because of the line outside.
VISIT: A famous corner bookstall in downtown Amman just near Habibah. The owner was once a poor kid who didn't have money for education, so he decided to educate himself with books and eventually set up this shop to sell books to others. Simple and moving.
The Next 24 Hours
VISIT: The King Hussein Mosque and the market streets in the area are the heart of downtown Amman. There is a fresh market with friendly vendors just behind the mosque that is worth strolling through, sampling dried fruits and nuts as you go.
Be sure to also take a cup of mint tea on the streets.
EAT: Have a leisurely lunch at Wild Jordan Café (Jabal Amman, 1st circle) overlooking downtown and the Citadel. Be sure to end your meal with some herbal tea made from herbs gathered in Jordan's Nature Conservancies.
This is also the place to learn all about Jordan's Nature Conservancies throughout the country. A good stop if you're planning the rest of your trip.
VISIT: Get a taste of ancient Philadelphia – the city that stood where Amman is now over 2,000 years ago – at the Roman Theater close to downtown. The size (6,000 spectators) and strength of it is impressive considering all that it has withstood over the last two millennium. It sometimes still hosts cultural events, so ask at the tourist office if anything is playing during your visit.
EAT: Pay a visit to Kan Zaman on the outskirts of Amman on the way to the airport. It's not just a restaurant, but more of a village complex with crafts and exhibitions. The evening buffet provides a good overview of Jordanian food as you can try all the main dishes in one place.
If you're feeling brave you can get decked out in traditional Jordanian dress. You may feel silly, but you will delight of all the Jordanians walking by.
Getting there
G Adventures runs a number of departures to Jordan encompassing a wide range of departure dates and activities to cater for different tastes. We're thrilled at the prospect of showing you this enchanting country as you've never seen it — check out our small group trips to Jordan here.

ST. MARYS – Officials for the American Cancer Society, Inc. [ACS] are hoping that the new year will also bring new volunteer drivers for the Road to Recovery program. The initiative provides rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment at a medical facility. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars to get a patient to and from the facility that they need to travel to for treatment.
John T. "Jack" McGonigal Jr., 86, died Dec. 20, 2012 at Elk Regional Health Center in St. Marys following a lengthy illness. He was born on May 8, 1926 in Johnsonburg, son of the late John T. and Edith McAlee McGonigal. He married Antoinette "Ann" Giffi on May 8, 1956, she survives. He resided in Johnsonburg all of his life and was a graduate of Johnsonburg High School, Class of 1944. He was a member of Holy Rosary Church and the Central Hose Co.

Name: Augustus Sohn Von Keiner
Alias: Saburo Kiyomizu, Augustus Herrmann, Crow King
True Age: 540
Visual Age: 35
Gender: Male
Status: Active
Squad (Former): Squad 5
Rank (Former): Captain
Other Groups: Orbis Signifer
Ambition: To purify and 'save' the Soul Society
Hobbies: Classic Art, Classic Literature, Fine Wine, Classical Music, Sexual Intercourse
Dislikes: The corruption of Soul Society officials, disobedience, weakness.
It could be said that Keiner has been three different people over the course of his life, each with their own distinctive personality. Augustus Herrmann was a liar, and had a frail and weak heart (he was willing to have his whole family killed to escape the wrath of the Reformation when he was human). This ended in his untimely death, and it took many years of loneliness and poverty for his personality to change dramatically.
During his time in Soul Society he went through a period of enlightenment, and over time became a strong minded, strong willed and very kind individual. Many of these were gained through his time in the poorer districts of Soul Society, and gave him great humility, which served him well even before he became a Shingami. During his time as a Captain, he was noted not overly for his overwhelming power, but for his kindness to his subordinates, in such a way that it was not considered weak. He still ran his squad with an iron fist, tending to make examples of those who showed outward disobedience. He seemed to have a caring nature to each of his squad members, treated his fellow Captains with appropriate degrees of respect, and even joked around once in a while with his comrades in arms. At the centre of this was a man who was very wise and held a strong belief in his own philosophy on the afterlife, which guided his actions as a Shinigami and as a Captain.
This of course had a darker side to it, as he believed that certain sins were acceptable by those who could recognise their dark qualities. As a result, he often engaged in nightly lovemaking sessions with female members of his own or even other squads. While he was also a social drinker on occasion, he only ever got drunk alone to vent his anger at the higher chain of command.
As Augustus Sohn Von Keiner, the best and worst qualities of his two previous lives have blended together to create something completely new. He regards himself to be a transcended being, mentally and metaphorically. He no longer has to hide under a façade, and can now has the means and power to accomplish his goal, which means he is no longer scared to hide his opinions, extent of his power or true philosophy from anyone. He now treats all weakness and disobedience as a punishment worthy of death, his lusts now openly extends to the female members of his own organisation and so makes a small harem that he shows no shame over. Even extending to smaller aspects of his previous routine, and is now an avid drinker, but never gets drunk. It could be said he has something of a god complex, but he states it's more of a "saviour's complex". He is deathly passionate about his goal, and sees no sacrifice as too great in order to reach it.
Physical Information
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Skin Color: White
Hand: Ambidextrous
Height: 6 foot
Weight: 12st
Considered to be very desirable by his former female colleagues, Keiner's apperence is that of a very handsome yet imposing middle-aged man, despite his old age in comparison to other Captains. His has long black hair, silky hair that reaches to his lower back, as well as jade green eyes while were often considered his trade-mark appeal. He wore his uniform and zanpakuto in the standard fashion, partly for comfort and partly to blend in, as he didn't want to attract the slightest bit of attention due his escapades in Hueco Mundo and questionable research on the Arashi Shiru. His appearance significantly alters during his zanpakuto's second release, in the smaller aspects as well as the unsightly transformation of his sword. His entire demeanour becoming much more hostile and obviously bloodthirsty is one such example, not to mention the hollowfied features of his appearance on release.
Historical Information
Born: 1536
Location: Munich, Germany
Age at Death: 29 (1555)
Death: Murdered
Born into a noble family in the heart of Germany, Augustus Herrmann was a rich man of business who prospered during the late 1500's. However, due to certain deals and collaborations with people of a certain faith, he was slain during the time of the Reformation. As a result, his soul was sent to the Soul Society where he would spend the next ten years experiencing the poverty of the poorer districts. This was a time of reflection for him, as the harshness of the living conditions and the frequent attacks by Hollows made him a keen survivor, and also showed the first signs of his great capability of controlling reaitsu.
After mastering it to a certain degree, he managed to make his way into the Sereitei and joined the academy of Shinigami, where he took on the name of Saburo Kiyomizu. He appeared to be something of a prodigy, as his intellect and mastery of all forms of combat and kido grew steadily over time. It only took him two years for him to acquire the name of his zanpakuto and join a squad, where he was made the 6th seat of Squad 5. In the space of a century he became Lieutenant of the division. Growing to love the afterlife as well as his position, he had found some form of peace and was very satisfied to spend eternity guarding and protecting it. Eager to watch those under his chain of command grow to become stronger.
His view of the afterlife was ultimately crushed when he discovered that his Captain was in league with a group of noble houses, which were extremely prejudiced against the lower classes. They were secretly abducting groups from various districts and feeding them to Hollows. Kiyomizu came across this and was shocked to the core. He saw his Captain's prejudice and actions as a disease that had been rotting his precious Soul Society, and in vicious rage he fought against him. This ended in his triggering Bankai, decimating his Captain as well as the noblemen; even the hostages and Hollows didn't survive the onslaught.
As a result of this, Kiyomizu became the new Captain of Squad 5, and over the next few centuries became a figure that was respected highly in Soul Society. But that night had changed him, he now saw corruption in the higher chains of command, and it sickened him. He began plotting how to cleanse Soul Society of its rotten government. His original plan was to use his Bankai to kill to Head Captain and then divert the blame, as he had managed to keep his second release's true appearance and properties a secret. This plan changed when he discovered secret records on an object known as the Arashi Shiru, which was a prototype device that would eventually lead to the Hogyoku. It had been shattered into fragments and cast into the World of the Living by his former Captain in a blind rage after it had failed several tests, most ending in death.
With a means to now carry out his ambition of saving Soul Society from the corrupt, Kiyomizu faked his own death and headed into the human world in order to gather the fragments. He returned to his human roots in Germany, setting up his base of operations in Hohenzollern Castle. He assumed the name of Augustus Sohn Von Keiner and slowly began to create an army of his own, using the Arashi Shiru to force humans through Hollowfication and Shinigamification simultaneously in order to create a new breed of Arrancar. He has created vicious monsters through this process by directly affecting Hollows, the two strongest being Mevaru and Devaru. A group that resemble the Espada, known as the Die Krähen, and their personal subordinates called Die Jäger. He is now ready to lead an assault against the Soul Society and Las Noches.
Other Trivia
¤ During his time as Captain, his lieutenant was none other than Shinji Hirako
¤ He had good relations with Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake
¤ He is an expert at playing the piano, and only drinks red wine
¤ He has four lovers now, all of them from the Die Krähen

Kids munched on hamburgers or sandwiches, strawberries, sweet potato fries, salad and milk at College View Elementary, while being entertained by Miles, the Denver Broncos mascot. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Bronco Alumni, Ed McCaffrey, Darlene Barnes from the USDA and Tami Anderson from Western Dairy Association presented at the event.

Look What Four 5th Graders Can Accomplish!
11:43 AM on Thursday, June 5th, 2014No Comments
Teachers from Brown International School reached out to us with four students wanting to learn about hunger and help those in need in our community.
At first the students were going to host a food drive. After researching our website, touring our facility and learning about our Quarters for Kids campaign, part of the Kung Food Fighters® Kids Club, and how 25 cents contributed to FBR becomes a meal, they decided to collect quarters (and dollars) instead. Over just a few weeks, these four enthusiastic kids raised enough money to provide 667 meals (the equivalent of 833 lbs) for kids and families in need!
Three of the four students stopped by to bring in their contribution and took a few minutes to tell us what they learned. They even made a video about their experience for the class.
We love it when kids want to help others and learn about hunger! If your group, class or family would like to take a tour and help us fight hunger and feed hope, please visit our Kung Food Fighters® Kids Club page and reach out to us, email@example.com. We'd love to have you visit!
Ethan Celebrates His Birthday Feeding Hope
10:45 AM on Thursday, May 29th, 2014No Comments
Ethan just turned 7. And like many 7 year olds, he had a birthday party, complete with laser tag and go cart racing. But one thing was a bit different at Ethan's party – the gifts. Instead of presents, Ethan asked his friends and family to contribute food to Food Bank of the Rockies. This wise young boy brought in 70 pounds of food for people in need, even more than his weight! We had the pleasure of meeting him and his family and giving them a tour of FBR.
We're always impressed with the compassion of so many young children who want to help. That's why we started the Kung Food Fighters® Kids Club. We've got lots of ideas for ways to help fight hunger, perfect for kids from preschool to high school.

Kids are Counting on Us This Summer
2:38 PM on Tuesday, May 20th, 2014No Comments
A Message from Kevin Seggelke, President & CEO, Food Bank of the Rockies
Summer is truly one of the best times to live in Colorado. The weather is not too hot or humid, the sun shines almost every day and the city, plains and mountains are incredible places to enjoy the great outdoors and all our state has to offer. It's also the time of year kids take a break from school. But sadly, for some children right here in our beautiful state, as the school year and school feeding programs end, summer also means the possibility of taking a break from having enough to eat.
12 year old Ryan is already feeling anxious. Soon, he and his 8 year old sister Sara will no longer be able eat school breakfast and lunch. He waits until the other kids leave the cafeteria and fills his pockets with apples, rolls, even packets of mayonnaise. The cafeteria worker notices and asks him if he's hungry.
"I'm not hungry now," he replied. "I'm trying to stock up so me and my sister will have food to eat during the summer."
Ryan is one of the nearly 1 in 4 Colorado kids living in a food insecure household. Food insecurity is another way of saying these struggling families don't always have enough money to eat - maybe only at the end of the month due to parents' low wages, and in some cases, maybe all summer, due to circumstances far beyond a child's control.
The cafeteria worker realized the seriousness of Ryan's situation and told Ryan's family about Food Bank of the Rockies' Summer Food Service Program. This summer, Ryan and Sara will have a healthy lunch five days a week.
"Now I don't have to worry about being hungry this summer and Sara will get lunches too. I can play ball and have a good time." Ryan said with a big smile on his face.
At Food Bank of the Rockies, we're proud to be the largest nonprofit sponsor of the Summer Food Service Program in Colorado. We'll be providing food for more than 70 locations this summer. Along with several public school districts, the USDA , our sister Feeding Colorado food banks, partner agencies and the Colorado Department of Education Office of School Nutrition, children around our service area and across the state can enjoy a nutritious lunch during the summer months.
No child should go hungry. If you know a child in need, more information on summer meals and links to find nearby sites can be found here.
And if you are fortunate to have enough to eat this summer, can you help someone who is struggling? Your gift will help children and their families receive healthy food all summer long.
Thank you and enjoy a wonderful summer!

It's obvious he really cares about making the world a better place and he's doing that by helping to raise awareness, food, and funds for Food Bank of the Rockies.
He once again lived downtown on the 16th Street Mall, spending nearly a week in a homemade plexiglass box. His efforts provided non-perishable food and funds for Food Bank of the Rockies.

Weekends are Brighter Because of Totes of Hope ™
1:44 PM on Friday, May 9th, 2014No Comments
Imagine you're in middle school, living with two disabled parents and an older brother who suffers from Lupus. Because no one is able to work, the small disability income your family lives on doesn't go very far. It's Friday, and for most kids the weekend means a break from school and time to play. But for you and your family, it could mean a break from eating.
One 8th grader doesn't have to imagine. Nalleli Valverde, a family liaison for Adams 12 Five Star schools, tells this young boy's story and talks about how important Totes of Hope ™ will be for him and many other children at her school and across the district. She works with too many families who struggle to have enough money to pay for necessities and she sees the effect hunger has on her students.
Food Bank of the Rockies will distribute 2,000 totes to Adams 12 Five Star Schools today and every Friday throughout the school year. We will also distribute thousands more at several sites throughout our service area. Nearly one in four kids in Colorado lives in a food insecure household. For them, this tote means being able to learn and grow without worrying about having enough to eat. For just $5, you can provide 20 meals for these struggling families. Can you help?
Totes Bring Hope to Adams 12 Five Star Schools
3:41 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2014No Comments
April 16th was a beautiful spring day in Adams County and not just because of the weather. 30 volunteers gathered at the Adams 12 Five Star School District to help feed hungry kids. Staff, family liaisons and parent volunteers rolled up their sleeves and filled bags with non-perishable, healthy, kid-friendly items supplied through Food Bank of the Rockies' Totes of Hope™ - Children program.
This school district, like so many others in our community, has too many kids living in food insecure households. The food they receive will help them and their families have something to eat over the weekend when school meals are not available.
In two hours, these hard-working volunteers packed 2,000 totes! Food Bank of the Rockies is excited to welcome Adams 12 Five Star School District to our Totes of Hope program. None of this would be possible without our donors whose generous financial contributions allow us to fund this critical program. Can you help us?

#Surprisingly TCF!

Perhaps you caught a glimpse of the TCF team popping up around town surprising people with free lunch, free coffee and more. You may also have noticed Food Bank of the Rockies barrels at TCF branches throughout Metro Denver.
TCF Bank decided to make a difference in a different way last month, helping the hungry in Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago and Denver. They contributed a dollar for each item donated and for each person using #SurprisinglyTCF on social media. And today, they brought in 1,000 food items and a check for FBR totaling $10,000!
"Today TCF Bank was honored and excited to present Food Bank of the Rockies with a $10,000 donation and over 1,000 nonperishable food items. I would like to thank our customers, employees, and the Denver community for helping us reach the goals of our TCF Surprisingly Rewarding Moments campaign and present these items today. Food Bank of the Rockies is a very important resource for the Denver community and we are very pleased and proud to support their great causes," said Tim Meyer, Mountain West Branch Banking Director.
FBR is thrilled TCF Bank's campaign was so successful and we're excited to be able to share 40,000 meals for our hungry neighbors thanks to TCF Bank and their customers' kindness. What a nice #Surprise!

Cincinnati Reds (56-56) at Cleveland Indians (57-55), 7:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Cincinnati - Johnny Cueto (12-6, 2.05) Cleveland - Josh Tomlin (5-7, 4.47)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Indians will put their home domination of the Cincinnati Reds to the test on Tuesday evening as they take their swings against Johnny Cueto in the continuation of the Ohio Cup.
The Tribe opened up a string of four straight versus the Reds with a 7-1 victory on Monday, their 10th win in a row at home over Cincinnati.
These clubs had split 10 total meetings over the previous two seasons, but Cincinnati has not won in Cleveland since May 22, 2010.
Following tonight's meeting, the Reds will host the Indians for two straight games to close the series. They hope to do so with a split of the first two contests and turn to Cueto, who is unbeaten in his career versus Cleveland.
Cueto is 3-0 with a 2.10 earned run average in five lifetime meetings with the Indians and comes into this outing 7-1 in his last 10 starts overall with 69 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings.
The right-hander won his second straight start and fourth decision in a row on Thursday at Miami, giving up a run on four hits and a walk. He fanned nine batters over seven innings for a second straight start.
Cueto, 28, is 12-6 with a 2.05 ERA that ranks second in the National League. His 166 strikeouts also are second most in the league.
The Reds ace will try to shut down a Cleveland offense that scored in the first inning last night and never looked back. Michael Brantley drove in a run in the opening frame with a ground out and ended with two RBI, while Yan Gomes hit a two-run shot in the Tribe's fourth straight victory.
Lonnie Chisenhall added a three-run homer in support of Corey Kluber, who took a shutout into the eighth inning and won his fifth straight decision. He gave up a run and fanned seven over 7 1/3 frames.
"Any time you score in the first inning and get off to that kind of start, it's always nice for the confidence of the team," Kluber said. "We kept adding on."
Alfredo Simon was charged with six hits and five runs over five frames and lost his fourth consecutive start.
Brayan Pena doubled in Cincinnati's only run as the Reds went 1-for-10 with men in scoring position Monday and left 11 runners on base. They were coming off a weekend in which they took three of four from the Marlins.
"We're not going to pitch perfectly every game," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We've had to be a good situational offensive club, and we just didn't show up to play. That was disappointing."
With Zach McAllister designated for assignment on Friday, the Indians will recall Josh Tomlin from Triple-A Columbus for his first start since July 25.
Tomlin faced Kansas City on that day and allowed four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out five without giving up a walk, but yielded a pair of homers.
That wrapped a month in which Tomlin went 0-2 with a 6.45 ERA in four starts, allowing six home runs, and he is 5-7 with a 4.47 ERA on the year. He gave up two runs -- both on solo homers -- over five innings for Columbus on Thursday.
The 29-year-old is 1-1 with a 4.08 ERA in three previous starts versus the Reds.
