Travel to Barcelona with British Airways and enjoy award-winning service, excellent value for money and no hidden charges.
A trip to Barcelona will stimulate your senses, from the beautiful Gaudi architecture to the tantalising tapas. Mingle with the locals at Barcelona's markets or feel the sand between your toes at the city's beautiful beaches.
Wander along La Rambla, where street performers and artists captivate passing tourists. Admire the splendid architecture that runs like a vein through the city, then step into the residential streets of Barrio of Barceloneta for a fascinating contrast. Explore the dark and mysterious lanes leading to a Basque pintxo bar or soak up the vibrant atmosphere in Boqueria Market, as charismatic traders compete for your attention. And don't forget to see the other side of the city for its trendsetting bars and lively nightspots. Barcelona is a city with so much soul, one visit is sure to leave you wanting more.
Once the centre of Roman city, today Barri Gotic still forms the core of 21st century Barcelona. Get lost in the Gothic Quarter, where the splendour of the past coexists with the vibrancy of the present. Follow the enticing sounds of street performers through the maze of narrow streets around Carrer del Bisbe. Discover spectacular ancient ruins like the Roman temple of Augustus, before stumbling across the Cathedral de la Santa Creu I Santa Eulalia, where past generations have left their imprint on Barcelona. Then follow the crowds out along La Rambla - stopping only to watch as a caricature is etched in front of you, or buy a souvenir from the nearest kiosk.
This vibrant neighbourhood is characterised by its long straight streets and wide avenues, exhibiting some of the city's most spectacular architecture. Starting along Passeig de Gracia, with Illa de la Discòrdia – a block famous for showcasing four of Barcelona's most important and distinctive Modernist architects. You'll be mesmerised by Gaudi's spectacular art nouveau Casa Batlló. La Pedrera, or Casa Mila as it is also known as, is a must-see visitor attraction in its own right. And no trip to Barcelona would be complete without seeing perhaps his most famous work, La Sagrada Familia.
Visit Port Vell, Barcelona's harbour, and stroll along the waterfront. See the famous Frank Gehry fish sculpture in Port Olimpic or visit Barrio of Barceloneta, which has a strong working class identity. Villa Olimpic was built to provide housing for athletes attending the 1992 Olympic Games. Today you'll find chic hotels and a host of restaurants, discotheques and even a casino. Beachfront bars and restaurants line the shoreline, with many different tastes catered for - from sushi to moroccan, and chill out areas with big day beds to enjoy.
This lively neighbourhood is a magnet for the city's trendsetters and attracts an eclectic mix of people. Its restaurants, clubs and cocktail bars are chic but boast a friendly atmosphere, making them popular with both tourists and locals alike. Medieval in origin, the finest monument is Palau de la Musica Catalan, while other popular attractions include Museu Picasso and Mercat de Santa Caterina – one of the city's oldest markets. Stop in Alos, known locally as La Ribera, for its fantastic boutique shopping and trendy café culture.
This urban up and coming area boasts some of Barcelona's most impressive modern architecture. It appeals to the bohemian artistic crowd, with its hip hangouts and less touristy feel. An international and eclectic district, you'll breathe in the aromas of diverse cultures as you walk through the streets . Sample exotic cuisine and local dishes or stop at some of the Bohemian bars and cafes that retain the atmosphere of a bygone era. Explore the narrow streets that are abuzz with both popular nightspots and smaller venues.

so how long you guys think will take for btrfs to become default in most distros?
and did the fedora guys (or whom was working on it) finish the grub integration for the snapshots?
What about the cpu usage differences ?
After reading this article, I should start using compress on Btrfs. Can I just enable it now, or should I reformat and start fresh. I don't know if it's good to have a mix of compressed and uncompressed.
If one examines the "drive ready time" timings for different hard drives, this may be a major factor. Looking at http://www.google.com/search?q=hard+...dy+time%22+sec one may see that the "drive ready time" timings may vary from 5 to 25 seconds! The Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 6GB/sec has 21 seconds, which is not good.
I can imagine that there is some relevance to how well the Space Cache Option performs at either end of that interval.
Like another person, I want CPU time numbers too. Fast I/O that takes an entire core or is pegged to my CPU speed is worthless to me (and most anyone that uses a low-power or dynamic power-state device, such as a laptop, mobile phone, set-top box, embedded device, etc.)

We cook ALOT. We use a ventless range hood because we do not want the cold air that comes in from through the wall or ceiling models. So it is important that they remove fumes and grease. These things work!

I thought I'd have to spend a small fortune to get an range vent that is as powerfull and featured as the one I bought from sears. It was less close to $150 and has a super powerfull, 450 crm dual blower ! That's more powerful than anything I've seen for under $500. It even has a completely variable speed control. I've never seen that before - even much more expensive models only have 1 or 2 speeds. After buying it I, I was concerned that there wouldn't be a decent filter for it. I read that the best units used charcoal. But, sears had a terrific filter - it has around four different layers of different materials (including charcoal). It's everything you could ask for and then some - it even has a sensor to tell when it's time to replace it. It was very reasonably priced and I received it fairly quickly (within the time promised). I'm very glad I made the purchase. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Devon County Council to introduce waste charges at recycling centres
From 1st April 2011, Devon County Council will be introducing charges on soil and rubble (including bricks, blocks, tiles, paving slabs, concrete posts, sanitary ware etc), plasterboard (including plaster and gypsum related products), bonded asbestos and tyres brought to any Recycling Centres in Devon.
All other household waste, including garden waste, recyclables and general waste will still be accepted free of charge (for business garden waste/cardboard see Commercial/business Waste and Recycling).
Devon County Council only has a legal obligation to provide Recycling Centre facilities for Household Waste (which is waste arising from the day to day running of a household). However, items from the repair or improvement of houses (e.g. DIY type waste) is classified as construction waste and there is no requirement for the Council to provide any service for the disposal of this material or accept it free of charge.
To avoid confusion, household waste comprises of the unwanted contents of the house and not part of the house itself. This also includes waste created from landscaping or garden alterations such as dismantling a rockery or digging up a patio/concrete hardstanding.
In addition, vehicle tyres are also not classed as Household waste and therefore there is no requirement for the County Council to accept them or accept them on a free of charge basis.
To provide this discretionary service cost the Council in excess of £1m in 09/10 and such costs can no longer be sustained in the current economic climate.
However, it is recognised that facilities are still needed for local residents to dispose of small amounts of DIY type waste (especially just for a few bags of waste when it is not worth hiring a skip) and tyres, and so rather than taking the drastic measure of withdrawing this discretionary service completely, the Council has made arrangements with the site operators for such waste to be accepted for a charge.
If you are undertaking a large scale DIY project that will generate significant volumes of waste, then you should hire a skip or arrange for alternative private disposal via a suitable licensed company.
As of 1st April 2013, the following charges will apply:
- Soil/Rubble (including bricks, blocks, tiles, paving slabs, concrete posts, sanitary ware etc) £1 per bag
- Plasterboard (including plaster and gypsum related products)* £2.40 per sheet/bag
- Asbestos (bonded type only – pre booked through 0845 1551010)** £7.80 per sheet/bag
- Tyres £1.35 each (commercial vehicle tyres not accepted; no charge for bicycle tyres)
A 'bag' is a typical rubble/aggregate sack up to 20" x 30" (50cm x 75cm)
A 'Sheet' is up to 8' x 4' (240cm x 120cm) for plasterboard and 6' x 3' (180cm x 90cm) for asbestos.
*Plasterboard is not accepted at Ivybridge, Totnes or South Molton Recycling Centres
**Asbestos is only accepted at Exeter, Great Torrington, Honiton, Kingsbridge, Newton Abbot, Okehampton, Tavistock and Tiverton Recycling Centres. It must be double wrapped/bagged in strong plastic and pre-booked - see Asbestos procedure for further information.
The charge payable will be based upon the quantity of material to be deposited using the above rates as an indicative guide.
Payment for bags/sheets will be whole multiples of 'bags' e.g. 3 x £1.
Loose waste/waste in trailers etc will be assessed by the site manager.
The site manager's decision on the actual charge to be made is final.
Charges, inclusive of VAT, are payable directly to the site contractor. Only cash payments will be accepted. Receipts will be offered.
This is a service for which payment must be made. Legal proceedings will be taken against anyone using the service or attempting to use the service without payment in full.
Council Tax - What is covered?
Your council tax covers the cost of collecting, recycling and disposing household waste. As DIY type waste and tyres are not classified as household waste, Devon County Council has no requirement to provide any service and if a service is provided, it should not be at cost to the general taxpayer. Overall, it is not up to Devon County Council or the general taxpayer to pay for the disposal of waste generated from individuals home improvement or vehicle maintenance projects.
Other Options
Should you not wish to use the service, other options are available:
- Skip Hire
- 'Hippo' bag service – generally available via large DIY stores
- People with larger loads may be able to take the waste directly to a landfill site or waste transfer station under a private, commercial arrangement with the site operator. It is recommended that you call the waste facility in advance.
- Re-use opportunities may exist (e.g. for re-usable building materials) via websites such as Freegle and Freecycle
- Tyres can be disposed of via your local tyre fitting outlet.

EB-5 funding: Still another option for expanding project financing
Blog Entry:
March 11, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: GEOFFREY S. GOSS
Geoffrey S. Goss is a partner in the Real Estate Practice Group of Cleveland-based Walter & Haverfield.
As the spring building season fast approaches, there are already clear signs that the real estate market is rebounding and development activity is expanding.
Unfortunately, a motivated commercial real estate market could be restrained by capital lending markets which seem to be lagging behind in terms of growth and access to funds. Therefore, builders are still forced to consider more innovative funding sources. The growth in popularity of tax credit lending, as well as the more broad-scale utilization of mezzanine funding, shows that real estate firms are constantly seeking alternative financial arrangements.
A somewhat lesser known funding option, but one which has shown significant growth in recent years, is the immigration related EB-5 program. Created through the Immigration Act of 1990, EB-5 allows a foreign national to qualify for permanent residency in the U.S. under the employment-centered fifth preference category (thus the moniker "EB-5"). A foreign national seeking to take advantage of EB-5 can either invest directly in a U.S.-based business or, as is more typical, invest through an existing EB-5 investment company. The latter system provides the financing conduit most useful to real estate development.
Typically, EB-5 lending and investment activities are coordinated through regional centers designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). These regional centers, several of which are located in Northeastern Ohio, focus on specific geographic areas. The regional centers work to promote economic growth through increased exports, increased productivity, new job creation, and the expansion of domestic capital investment opportunities.
From a foreign national investor's financial perspective, the key component of EB-5 directed investments are the resulting jobs created through investment. While the base investment amount is $1 million per person, the required investment, if it is made in a targeted employment area--a rural or urban area with an unemployment rate that is at least 150 percent of the national average--is only $500,000.
From a commercial real estate investment and funding perspective, EB-5 money can be used for almost any commercial real estate project -- office, industrial, hotel, multi-family and others. A developer may approach a regional center (or vice versa) as a means to diversify a project's capital stack or simply to take advantage of the lower-interest rate financing typically offered through an EB-5 loan. EB-5 investments can be made either as direct equity or, as is more typical, a loan.
It must be cautioned that projects which utilize EB-5 generated funding are subject to USCIS review and approval, and the ultimate delivery of funds can take considerable time. An EB-5 investment will weave through a 9-to-12- month review process both with respect to the project and the investors. This process will include a detailed review of the project and its business plan; negotiation and execution of the lending/investment documents between the project sponsor and the regional center; marketing of the investment opportunity overseas; securing of foreign investment funds; application, review and processing of visa applications of investors; and, following all reviews and approvals, delivery of investment proceeds to the project, pursuant to the financing/investment documents.
Smaller projects may not be cost-effective for EB-5
If both the project and an investor are approved by the USCIS, each investor will receive a conditional two-year green card. The investor, spouse and any unmarried children (under age 21) can then apply for permanent residency based on the investment. If approved, the investor and his/her immediate family become permanent green card holders and can later apply to become U.S. citizens. Upon receipt of conditional permanent resident status, the investor and immediate family are entitled to the same benefits as other lawful permanent residents.
For eligible projects, EB-5 funds may provide yet another option to consider as developers seek to diversify a project's capital stack. Although there is no stated minimum project-
based investment required, given the cost and time involved in securing necessary funds and approvals, projects requiring less than $5 million through the EB-5 program may not be cost effective. Sponsors of large development projects, particularly those with lengthy lead or build times, however, may find significant benefits and financing cost savings using EB-5 funds.
As with many new and developing programs, rules and regulations applicable to the EB-5 program remain quite fluid. Thus, developers wishing to utilize such funds should consult experienced EB-5 counsel to ensure appropriate compliance is maintained to allow for a successful project.

"I had to start thinking about what I needed to do to learn about lifestyle changes. I knew that something had to be done so I could maintain my good health."
Diabetes affects every aspect of your life. Making positive changes to your lifestyle can affect your diabetes in a good way. Changes can lead to better diabetes management and tighter blood glucose control, reducing your risk of long-term health problems.
In order to make a change for better diabetes health, it helps to have a plan. A good place to start is by asking yourself why you want to make a change.
"There can be thousands of reasons people might want to make change, but it needs to be internal, strong, and kind of gut level to be successful in the long term."
"You have to have a commitment. You have to look at your kids and say, 'I have to be here for them,' and that's what usually motivates me. "
"I just recognized I needed to stop for my own health, for my own benefit, and I like me. So, liking me … I like me better than I like those things that were opposed to me."
"I'm not a big advocate of 'You have to change for you.' Yeah you do, but my big thing is my family."
Take a moment now to think of the reason you want to make a change. Now, what is the one thing about your lifestyle that, if you changed it, would improve your diabetes management? Is it your food choices? Amount of physical activity? Quitting smoking?
When you are thinking of all the things in your life you may want to change to better manage your diabetes, it is easy to become overwhelmed. But take one step at a time. You have made a commitment to make a change. Now start with just one small change that you think you can make.
By focusing on one small change at a time, you have a greater chance of successfully reaching your goal and making true changes that last a lifetime.
Once you reach your first goal, begin to make another lifestyle change. Each success will take you that much closer to better diabetes management, and a healthy future.

Vietor among 'MasterWorks' honorees
Acrylic piece wins first place mention
The 16th Annual South Dakota Health Care Association (SDHCA) Dakota MasterWorks Creative Art Show and Competition for artists age 60 and older was held Oct. 29-30, at the Good Samaritan Society in Sioux Falls.With nearly 190 entries, professional judges awarded first, second and third places; honorable mentions; and "Best of Show" to art pieces in seven different media of two age groups. The attendees of the event chose People's Choice entries, including a mention for Dell Rapids' Karen Vietor. Entrants' ages this year ranged from 60 to 96 years old.Vietor's entry, artwork entitled "Autumn in Spearfish Canyon," in the "experienced" division garnered her a first place in the acrylic division.SDHCA Dakota MasterWorks is hosted by Home Federal Bank and KELOLAND Television as a way to demonstrate the personal growth that is a part of aging by featuring the creative talents of older South Dakotans. "We wanted to showcase what older adults already know. The second half of life is full of creative growth and fulfillment," said SDHCA Dakota MasterWorks coordinator LuAnn Severson.Categories included watercolor painting, oil painting, acrylic painting, drawing/pastels, photography, sculpture and wood carving. Age categories for the competition were divided into ages 60-79 and 80 years and older.First, second, third, "Best of Show" and People's Choice will be on exhibit at the Ruddell Gallery at Black Hills State University, Spearfish from mid-November through early January and at the Ramkota Hotel in Pierre during SDHCA Legislative Reception on Jan. 22, 2013.

Personal DescriptionI studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Auckland, and then went on to complete a PhD on digital data processing in radio astronomy. Following a post-doctoral research appointment at Imperial College in London, which involved the development of an interactive graphics CAD system for electronic circuits, I returned to New Zealand to take up a lectureship in computer science at the University of Waikato in 1975. In 1985, I moved on to a chair in Computer Science at Massey University, where I was also Head of Department, and from 1992-94, Dean of the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences. In 1994, I returned to the University of Waikato as Professor of Computer Science, and took up the position of Chairperson of the Department. From 2003-08 I was Dean of the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences here at Waikato. I am currently a Professor in the Computer Science Department.
Research InterestsFrom the time of my post-doctoral work at Imperial College, the main focus of my research has been human-computer interaction. Work in this area includes the MINNIE cad system, the invention of the bifocal display, the development of the Lean Cuisine notation for the description and design of direct manipulation interfaces, techniques for the evaluation of interfaces, and more recently the study of CSCW systems. I have associated interests in techniques for information representation and interacting with information, and in computer graphics and image processing.

How to Select
How to select Humidifier Filters
The quality of a replacement filter for your humidifier or other cleaning device is the key factor that helps create a healthy environment in a room where such device is installed. We have prepared the following guide to help you find and select the best humidifier filters that exist today. All you will have to do is spend several minutes of your time and follow the simple instructions.
A humidifier filter lasts for 2 or 3 months, depending on whether smoke and dust is present in the air. This means that you'll have to change the filters at least four times a year. Compatibility with the humidifier is the essential factor to consider when selecting a filter. However, this doesn't mean that you have to look for the exact same filter you always used. To know if the filter will be compatible with the device, compare its specifications with the ones of the old filter. If they match, you are good to go.
Maintenance of the filter is also something to pay attention to. Not many of humidifier owners know that the filters of such device can be cleaned in order to prolong the life of the device and increase its performance. To perform such maintenance work, you need to have direct access to the filter so ensure it offers such option before you buy it.
The material from which the filter is made plays a great part in its durability. Since humidifier filters are placed near the water panel element, they are designed to absorb harmful chemicals and particles from the water source. This means that the material they are made from should not have any toxic elements because they will be distributed into the air.
When the filter is selected, some of the questions may still remain. The most frequently asked one is how to replace the old filter in a humidifier?
Despite the fact that all of the humidifiers have different design, the process of replacing a filter is pretty much the same for all of them. You need to remove the cover of the device, then get to the water tank and the filter that is installed in or near it and take the filter out. After that, you can insert a new filter, place the water tank back and close the cover. After replacing a filter, turn the device on and ensure that it operates correctly.
Why do I need to replace the filter anyway?
In order to provide your room with fresh and most importantly, healthy air, a humidifier has to be able to distribute the moisture from the water tank. A filter gets in the middle of this process and ensures no harmful particles are going into the room along with the moisture. If a filter is old and dirty, it will contaminate the water from the tank and lower the air quality of the room.

Home > About Licensing > Client Access Licenses
If the workstations in your organization are networked, you likely depend on network server software to perform certain functions, such as file and print sharing. To legally access this server software, a Client Access License (CAL) may be required. A CAL is not a software product; rather, it is a license that gives a user the right to access the services of the server.
Likewise, if you manage the devices on your network using management software such as Microsoft System Center, a Management License (ML) may be required for the device being managed.
CALsand MLs
CAL Suites
CAL SuiteBridges
Licensing software with CALs and MLs can be complicated due to the technical nature of server products and networks. Microsoft offers a device-based CAL (Device CAL) or a user-based CAL (User CAL) for purchase. In addition, an External Connector (EC) license is offered for some products as an optional alternative to address specific customer scenarios.
For managing devices, Microsoft offers Server MLs for managing server Operating System Environments (OSEs). For managing non-server devices, Microsoft offers OSE Client MLs and User Client MLs.
This overview is for reference purposes only. Before purchasing, you should visit the "How to Buy" section for each product and consult your Microsoft representative or local reseller regarding your specific licensing needs.
With the User CAL, you purchase a CAL for every user who accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing, regardless of the number of devices they use for that access. Purchasing a User CAL might make more sense if your company employees need to have roaming access to the corporate network using multiple devices, or from unknown devices, or simply have more devices than users in your organization.
Client Access License based on user
With a Device CAL, you purchase a CAL for every device that accesses your server, regardless of the number of users who use that device to access the server. Device CALs may make more economic and administrative sense if your company has workers who share devices, for example, on different work shifts.
Client Access License based on device
If you want external users—such as business partners, external contractors, or customers—to be able to access your network, you have two licensing options:
Acquire CALs for each of your external users.
Acquire External Connector (EC) licenses for each server that will be accessed by your external users.
External Connector licensing
An external user is a person who is not an employee or similar personnel of the company or its affiliates, and is not someone to whom you provide hosted services. An EC license assigned to a server permits access by any number of external users, as long as that access is for the benefit of the licensee and not the external user. Each physical server that external users access requires only one EC license regardless of the number of software instances running. An "instance" is an installed copy of software.
The right to run instances of the server software is licensed separately; the EC, like the CAL, simply permits access. The decision on whether to acquire CALs or an EC for external users is primarily a financial one.
Some server products are available to be licensed on a "per core, "per processor" or "per instance" basis.
Under the Per Core model, when the server software is running in the physical OSE, you must license all physical cores on the server. To determine the number of core licenses you need, count the total number of physical cores for each processor on the server, and then multiply that number by the appropriate core factor. You do not need to purchase additional CALs.
Software licensed by core
Under the Per Processor model, you acquire a Processor License for each processor in the server on which the software is running. A Processor License includes access for an unlimited number of users to connect from either inside the local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), or outside the firewall (via the Internet). You do not need to purchase additional server licenses, CALs, or Internet Connector Licenses.
Note: Windows Server licensed under the Per Processor model requires CALs.
Software licensed by processor
Specialty Server licensing is a commonly used model. Specialty Servers are server-only licenses that also do not require CALs. Specialty Servers require a server license for each instance of the server software running on a server. An example of this is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for Internet Sites. You can run the instance in a physical or virtual operating system environment. By exception, some products provide more specific use rights.
Specialty Server licensing
Other examples of Specialty Server licensing include Windows Web Server 2008 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Workgroup Server.
Under the Management Servers licensing model, you must acquire and assign the required number of appropriate category (server and/or client) and type (OSE and/or User) of ML to the device on which OSEs are to be managed. Included with the ML are the rights to run the corresponding management server software, so you do not need to acquire separate licenses for the management server software.
Management of server OSEs requires Server MLs (only OSE type offered), while management of non-server OSEs require Client MLs (OSE/User types offered).
Software licensed by ML

*Windows Server Per-Processer licensing also requires a CAL
The Microsoft Server CAL Suites consist of two offerings:
Microsoft Core CAL Suite: Provides six innovative technologies from Microsoft that can be used to establish a solid IT infrastructure and delivers the essential capabilities that every user needs.
Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite: Delivers the Future of Productivity with 13 of the latest products in compliance, real-time collaboration, security, communication, desktop management, and more.
Learn more about the Microsoft CAL Suites
A Client Access License (CAL) Suite is a single license that provides use rights that are equivalent to multiple licenses. Like other CALs, CAL Suites can be licensed on either a per-user or per-device basis. CAL Suites simplify licensing and tracking by reducing the number of licenses that are necessary to access Microsoft servers. CAL Suites may also provide pricing that is more attractive than licensing the equivalent components individually. However, because a suite is a single license—the sum of individual CALs—CAL Suites cannot be split up among multiple users or devices; each CAL Suite is assigned for just one user or device.
There are two types of Microsoft CAL Suites:
Microsoft Core CAL Suite
Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite, which includes all of the functionality of the Microsoft Core CAL Suite
The Microsoft CAL Suites include licenses across the Microsoft productivity and core infrastructure sets of technologies.
For more information about the Microsoft CAL Suite licensing, refer to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Brief: Licensing the Core CAL Suite and the Enterprise CAL Suite.
Microsoft CAL Suites provide software rights to a subset of the Microsoft portfolio of server-based products. You must still purchase additional software licenses outside of the CAL Suites, such as a server license to match each accompanying CAL Suite component and appropriate software prerequisites such as Microsoft SQL Server.
As of April 1, 2013, a license for the Enterprise CAL Suite with active Software Assurance coverage includes the rights to Exchange Online Archiving for Exchange Server, Data Loss Prevention, and Exchange Online Protection.
To begin using these services, contact your Microsoft Partner, who can begin the provisioning process required to activate each service.
The CAL Suites may provide software use rights equivalent to licenses that are not specifically designated Client Access Licenses. For example, the CAL Suites provide rights to Microsoft System Center device management products that are covered by Client Management Licenses.
In all cases, under a CAL Suite, your use rights with respect to a particular product or online service are the same as if that component were licensed separately. The only exception is that both per-user and per-device options are available in CAL Suites, even when both options are not available outside the suite. For instance, per-user licensing Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager are available as part of Core CAL Suite and Enterprise CAL Suite, even though Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager is offered individually under a per–operating system client management license.
Because CAL Suites provide licenses to products that are released independently, CAL Suites do not have version designations. CAL Suites are offered only with Software Assurance coverage, and they therefore provide you with the right to use the most recent version of every product in the suite. If Software Assurance coverage lapses and you are vested with perpetual rights, use rights are determined by the latest version of the products that were in effect prior to the lapse in coverage. Rights for the online services expire upon lapse of Software Assurance coverage, regardless of whether the CAL Suite is perpetual.
You can choose to license the Enterprise CAL Suite upfront or as a step-up from the Core CAL Suite license. With the Enterprise CAL Suite, you get licenses for the components of the Core CAL Suite and other components that are unique to the Enterprise CAL Suite. When you license the Enterprise CAL Suite, you do not have to maintain a separate Core CAL Suite—this is different from licensing the same products under individual licenses.

The Lakeside Blog springs forth from the creative mind of Michelle Bruck at the Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT. She writes about events, great places to visit and cool things to do – in and around Lakeville & Salisbury Connecticut.

I am just happy to get away!
I am going away for a couple of days with my family, and I am so excited. It's "interesting" for us to go away to other hotels because we are always comparing the hotel and its services we are staying at with the Interlaken. Will there be enough towels at the pool area? When I get to their pool, and there are no more towels, I will simply ask for more. I don't care – I am just happy to get away with my family! If the breakfast buffet is low on eggs, I will tell the server, or skip them and avoid the risk of salmonella. I don't care – I am just happy to get away with my family! What if the front desk person doesn't smile at me upon arrival? I will just assume that they are having a bad moment, or maybe I forgot to smile at them first? I don't care – I am just happy to get away with my family! What if the room is smaller than I thought? If it's clean, and the basics are covered, then I don't care – I am just happy to get away with my family! What if the air conditioner is too loud? I will be thankful it is still keeping my room cool so I can sleep comfortably in the warm weather – because I am just happy to get away with my family!
Maybe people are just too stressed in their daily lives to just be happy to get away with their family!
Come stay at the Interlaken and relax with your family – take a dip in the pool, take a canoe out on the lake, arrange for a one hour massage, go for a hike on the Appalachian Trail, ride a bike on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, have an amazing dinner in Morgan's, leisurely, while listening to Scott Heth on piano, read a book in an Adirondack chair in our courtyard, admire the beautiful landscaping from Salisbury Garden Center. Sleep late, or get up early and go for a walk! Do whatever you want – just be happy to get away with your family!
June brides – take a look!
Brandon just took a site tour last weekend for a couple that was interested in June of next year. Just a few days ago, the deposit check was received and the planning begins! June is a perfect month for an outdoor wedding – daytime temperatures average about 70 degrees in Lakeville, CT, with nice cool evenings. The landscaping is lush and all of the annuals are planted. Everyone is happy as the school year is ending and summer is right around the corner!
Here are some photos of a June wedding held here a couple of years ago.
A Southern-style wedding at a New England Resort
My Saturday ritual on a day there's a wedding at Interlaken: I grab my camera and head out to take pictures of the pavilion all set and ready to go. You may think "it's the same old thing" as centerpieces are centerpieces, and cakes are cakes, but that is not so! There are so many different flowers that can be arranged in so many unique ways, and cakes that are round, square, tall, short, with flowers, without flowers, well, you get my point! I am always anxious to see how the couple has taken our neutral outdoor setting and made it their own for the evening! It seems like each time there is just something I haven't seen before – and today was no exception. Bowls of peaches. Yup, as simple as that, but just enough for me to say "how cute" and of course – what's the significance of peaches? Read on to find out what Brandon Scimeca, Food & Beverage Director and Wedding Coordinator, had to say about this!
The groom is from Alabama, so they wanted a Northern wedding location with a Southern feel. Peaches are perfect! They also worked with Brandon to incorporate some Southern dishes into the menu. Southern favorites such as pimento and cheese, wild salmon with green tomato peach relish, shrimp and grits, slow roasted fresh leg of pork, and buttermilk biscuits were Southern favorites chosen for the evening. In addition to the cake, chocolate chip cookies, brownies and seven layer bars were all served, and were all family recipes.
In case you didn't know, Brandon loves to customize menus to someone's heritage or background, or even just personal family favorites. Family recipes can also be incorporated into the menus to make the wedding more personal and unique. Can you imagine sharing your favorite Aunt's recipe at your wedding with all of your family and friends? Brandon can pretty much do anything you want, so be sure to contact him to start planning your personalized wedding today!
Good Morning Wedding Breakfast Guests
It's a beautiful morning here at the Interlaken in Lakeville, CT, and the perfect morning to host a private breakfast out on our patio! The couple getting married today have started the festivities of their celebration on the early side by gathering their family and friends for a private breakfast buffet our on our patio. Seating is available both on the patio as well as outside at picnic tables on the lawn. Pictures of the bride and groom, photos of their lives before they met and after they found each other are on display – certainly something for their Guests to check and talk about over breakfast! I snapped some photos before everyone arrived, and here they are!
Wedding Celebrations at Interlaken
Here are some more photos from an August wedding last summer at Interlaken. There wasn't a bright blue sky that day, but as you can see from the photos, it will still a perfect day for Elissa and Larry. Happy One Year Anniversary!

Wedding Week
Congratulations Shawn & Alex!
For those of you who have visited Interlaken's restaurant Morgan's, you may have met Alex and Shawn. Previously greeting you during breakfast hours, Alex has recently moved to evenings serving dinner in Morgan's. You may not actually see Shawn, but you meet him as soon as your dinner arrives as he is the Chef in the kitchen who prepares the amazing creative dishes you receive. Shawn and Alex have been with us for about 3 years now, and just got married this past Saturday (yes, that perfect Saturday to have a wedding!). Alex looked so beautiful, Shawn so handsome – and both so happy together! It was a perfect afternoon as their family and many Interlaken friends shared in their celebration! While visiting Interlaken, be sure to make dinner reservations so you can say hello to Alex and experience one of the many creative and delicious dishes her husband prepares!
Wedding nostalgia
OK, I admit, I am feeling it now. Since seeing Annika and Luke, the bride and groom from 2007 that was just here renewing their vows, I've become quite nostalgic with the weddings that I did plan back at that time. I took photos at most of the weddings from then, and plan to post them over the next few weeks. A few things have changed – such as our new reception chairs, more greenery and flowers around the pavilion, a new hot tub in our Honeymoon Suite, a crosswalk to get your Guests safely over to Route 112 to the beautiful lakefront ceremony site – and some things haven't changed, which in my book is a good thing! If you are like me, and just love looking at wedding photos from even people you don't know, be sure to check back in with me over these next few weeks to see some amazing wedding photos at Interlaken! Here are some from Annika and Luke's special day in August 2007 – they had a picture perfect day, just like today is in Lakeville, CT!
P.S. You know who to contact if you are looking for a wedding venue, right? Brandon Scimeca – email email@example.com!
A Romantic Renewal
Just three short years ago Annika & Luke said their vows at the Interlaken lakefront, and now just three short years later they are here today, recreating that special moment by renewing their vows. It is a gorgeous day today, just like their wedding day was in 2007. I had the privilege of planning their wedding with them – their choice of yellow daisies, so happy and fun, and their amazing first dance (Annika is a professional pilobolus dancer) will always stand out in my mind when I think of their wedding day! They will be dining in Morgan's restaurant this evening – our Chefs will be preparing exactly what they had on their wedding day!
Congratulations Annika and Luke!
Gorgeous weekend at Interlaken!
On perfect days like yesterday and today, it's just so easy to wander the property and take photos of what is happening. The big beautiful sun, bright blue sky, trees swaying in the breeze, flowers in bloom, low humidity! All good things – especially when combined with picnic tables for picnicking, adirondack chairs for reading, the pool for swimming, the Sunnyside lawn for dog walking, the lake for boating. Lets round out this perfect weekend with a celebration of marriage! A Sunday afternoon wedding – love it! The wedding pavilion is ready to go! And yes, if you think the Lilys in these photos are fragrant – you are 100% correct!

Phoronix: AMD's Legacy Driver Will Not Support X Server 1.6
Early this morning we shared that AMD is dropping R300 through R500 support in the Catalyst driver. Beginning with the Catalyst 9.4 release, the Windows and Linux drivers will only support the R600 and R700 series (and eventually, R800) of ATI Radeon graphics processors...
well thats kind of "not good"
have fun ranting!
They gave us documentation, they gave us Free code.
Now they're seeing if we can stand on our own feet.
..We can.
More than nVidia ever did for us; Quit yer yappin'
Look at it this way: AMD just officially gave the Free ATi gpu drivers millions upon millions of testers and bug reporters, and probably many more developers than they themselves could employ for the cause. The actions they've taken, in the order they've taken them in, is excellent; How many resources would you prefer them waste in their phased open source driver transition? Just keep the documentation coming. When we all switch to Gallium3d, the performance deltas will disintegrate.

great argument.
If Linus decided to kill Linux, think of all the free testers BSD and open solaris would get!!!!
STUPID argument
Linux is Free.
Catalyst is not.
Different argument.
it's perfectly valid.
you're claiming that it's a good thing that they leave paying customer in the cold because it will ensure that they (by being forced to) test the OSS driver.
paying customers shouldn't really be forced.
and, to sum up ATI driver development really well. (and, according to you,)
it will mean that LATER the OSS driver will get better.
yup, with ATI it's always LATER.
so, for the first year the driver is worse, but LATER it might be good.
I'm not sure about you, but i live in the present
Present eh?, when did you buy your old card? You've had the support you paid for so get over it.I'm not sure about you, but i live in the present
In fact, you should be grateful, that you get a lifeline of continued support in the open drivers,
which is more than you'd ever get from nvidia where their legacy drivers get updated rarely.

How many lines of hard code does a driver need to have, in order to function with a new xorg? Or does it depend on the xorg release itself?
I only dabble in the present; I live in the future.

Does this also mean Vishera was the last CPU ?..

Phoronix: AMD Is Indeed Losing More Linux Developers
At the beginning of the week I reported that AMD got rid of at least three of their Linux kernel developers. It's becoming more clear though that it's not only three long-time Linux kernel developers they have let go...
Does this also mean Vishera was the last CPU ?..
Leaves little choice for future systems...
Last AMD cpu properly supported under linux? Perhaps, if they don't hire people elsewhere.
they don't kill OSS drivers for video cards.
If they do, i wont be buying anything from them again... So far all CPU i had since 90's - was under their brand. I was just hoping to go for their video cards, pretty much decided that my next upgrade for video will be theirs, but looks like another decade with Nvidia is coming... Looks like Intel will be only way to go with CPU.
It's freaking sad...
Last edited by dimko; 11-02-2012 at 01:08 PM. Reason: some changes
there new opterons in 2014 will be 32-64core ARM 64bit system with APU (Radeon hd8000) technique.
Intel just deserve this. then all linux people go with MIPS or ARM and intel get there "monopole" for anything else.
This doesn't seem to mesh with their plans to introduce 64-bit ARM chips. I would think the consequence of that decision is to bring on more Linux developers.
They're not going to compete in the ARM space without a solid group of Linux developers.
I was planning to build a new Linux box with AMD hardware to setup a VM server. What good will that do me if the Linux devs are being let go. It can't be expected that people will continue to buy products that will go unsupported. This is just upsetting as I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg to get an Intel server setup -_-''
Everyone on here supports Intel. AMD will get no sympathy

Youth to Youth helps parents talk to kids about drugs, alcohol
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
DOVER — Truth, avoidance, or a little white lie.
Piscitello also encouraged them to bring an element of reality into the answer parents would give their children regardless of whether they chose to be completely honest, or fudge the truth a bit. Above all, he said it was important not to give an answer that would make any conversation more awkward than necessary in the future.
Youth to Youth Coordinator Dana Mitchell, also encouraged parents not to share more than they are comfortable with but to give an answer in which they feel confident.
"You have a right to tell a little fib until you're ready to talk about this," Mitchell said.
The theater even was a way Youth to Youth, an organization with more than 70 members, turned their focus from educating fellow students to specifically parents.
Those who attended said they found the sessions really helpful.
"Definitely," TJ LaRoche, father of an 11 year old, said.
"You can understand the concept but have trouble forming the words," Mitchell told them, encouraging those who were shy.

Been reading these forum and seems a lot of queenslanders are here so idthought i'd register and say hi. Four of us here me,mrs deness and 2 10yr old boys. we use a toyota prado with a jayco flipper camper, although boys have upgraded to a coleman 3 man (for their privacy)
We usually like getting into the mountains with peachtrees being our fav spot, although we did just get back from a nice wet week in Ballina. always looking for the "ideal" site on the ocean with tropical rainforest walks free hot showers and unlimited firewood supplied all within half an hours drive from home.

The stats don't matter much. Simply get the card that is faster according to benchmarks. If possible, get a 1GB card.
1 more question guys ... what r z most important items in choosing a VGA card ... stream processor or mem bus or memo type or memo speed or what? chosing VGA card depend on what mainly???
The stats don't matter much. Simply get the card that is faster according to benchmarks. If possible, get a 1GB card.
A card that can do 10 gtex/s at 500 mhz will do 20 gtex/s at 1000mhz but if your game needs 30 then you really haven't gotten the job done. Think of it like hot loading bullets. If your hotloading a round that almost gets the job done then fine. If your hotloading .380 acp to hunt elephants then it's kind of silly.
DX11 though is dumping the texel/s trend. They take all the super high quality textures that years and years and 4 generations of GPU's struggled to be able to throw around and just blurring them to high heaven and then tesselating them to rediculous levels. But you can count on texture quality in shipped games not going down as long as there are so many DX9 and DX10 gpu's around. 2nd and 3rd generation dx11 gpu's will likely just be tossing out texture mapping units for more shaders.
hey guys ... after i done my search comparing ati cards & nvidia cards, i found that nvidia care more bout the memory bus of the card, however ati radeon care bout stream processor, mem type (GDDR5) and mem. clock
finally i decided 2 get z ATI Radeon HD 5770, is there any nVIDIA card better than that??? or any 1 got a suggestion for me?
There are cards better than that, but it's out of your price range; I don't think you would buy a 500$ card

While I'm happy to hear this (and it's also old news). What exactly are the drawbacks off server side decorations in wayland. It's not entirely clear what the issues (aliasing issues? why? can this be fixed in wayland?).
Phoronix: KDE/KWin On Wayland To Use Server-Side Decorations
Martin Gräßlin, the well known maintainer of KDE's KWin window manager, has shared that when ported to Wayland the KDE window manager will be using server-side decorations. It's commonly represented that Wayland requires client-side decorations, but this isn't entirely the case...
While I'm happy to hear this (and it's also old news). What exactly are the drawbacks off server side decorations in wayland. It's not entirely clear what the issues (aliasing issues? why? can this be fixed in wayland?).
I do strongly agree with this, that Kwin should manage window decorations. I am always of the impression an application should, at least by default, be blind to its execution environment, and know as little as possible - a gui app should know the size of its window, and whether it has focus, and that is it (if window = 0x0, you are minimized, or some such). The rest can almost always be managed by the window manager, and for things like launcher integration / external binding those should be managed by dedicated separate APIs.
And don't quote me on this, but I would also think that it would require the application to tell the server more about its surface, such as the window is resizable, or closable, so that the server (or separate decoration program, however it's implemented), so that it would know not to draw a close button on the decoration, or maximize button, or make the borders not re sizable.
This being said, there would have to be a protocol to tell applications not to draw their titlebars for kwin to do this...
Finally someone talking some sense. I felt like I was the last sane person on the planet after local Wayland fanboys here tried to argue over and over again that CSD were superior.
So from the article it says drawing windows as a simple texture in Weston allows you to have no aliasing when rotating the windows, etc. Why can't this be the case with server side windows? Or is it just trickier?
Edit: That's true for themes, anyway; tool-kits don't handle decorations (yet?), so I guess that also factors in. I still don't understand why nobody will write simple library whose sole purpose is drawing window-decorations into a buffer provided by the tool-kit for the window. Simply tell the tool-kit how big your decorations are, and the extra space can be created when making the buffer, then the library writes to that buffer (or it's own buffer, and hands it to the tool-kit to merge), and boom! Decorations.
Alternatively, the library tells the tool-kit how big the decorations are, provides images/textures and tells it where they go, and the tool-kit does the drawing itself. Same result.

Yeah, kudos to Gräßlin for talking some sense that doesn't blindly follow the hype du jour.
Indeed, there could be a library included with Wayland with basic decoration support or providing an basic api to do them(but giving room to decisions to the other programs more concerned about how the decoration should be). Toolkits would use it to do the client side decorations and probably compositors too, when they want to do server side. And the compositor could likely set a parameter to get the library to do the decoration server side or client side(or put client side on and off simply). In case the app doesn't provide decoration, it could do a default fallback one. And thus we have decorations for all apps and compositors any way they want. It would be like simply switching the theme and would be an easy option to turn CSD on and off. And an application should optionally override the compositor, if the author so wants.(not 100% sure if that's a good idea though)
Of course I'm not a windowing system developer, so I don't know what could be "broken" this way.
Personally, i think if they (not kwin developer, but other developers) can get CSD right. (by right, i mean better than windows), i would much prefer to leave server-side decorations behind. afaik, server-side has more overhead too (aside from also never looking quite right... although i am not an expert on WM) but does have the odd advantage too. But since, i don't use kwin this news doesn't exactly affect me (although kwin is pretty good), but i am definitely hoping for a decent CSD implementation in some compositing WM/DE, instead of server-side decorations. (that is if/when nvidia-driver can be used with Wayland...whenever that happens!..lol)
