Rock Machine gang member's gun, drug trafficking nets 9.5 years
A high-ranking Manitoba biker has become the first casualty in an all-out police blitz against the Rock Machine.
John Adam Curwin, 31, pleaded guilty to several charges of gun and drug trafficking Wednesday, less than three months after he and 10 fellow members were arrested as part of a major undercover sting operation.
Curwin was given a nine-and-a-half year prison sentence under a joint-recommendation from Crown and defence lawyers, in addition to his time already spent in custody.
"We have someone here who is engrained in the criminal organization lifestyle," said prosecutor Mike Desautels. Curwin was previously a member of the Bandidos gang but patched over to the Rock Machine when they began to establish a presence in the city a few years ago, court was told.
The Rock Machine have been embroiled in a war with the Hells Angels, which reached its zenith in 2011 with brazen public shootings and bombings. The Winnipeg Police essentially broke up the Hells Angels in early 2012 with "Project Flatlined", arresting 18 prominent members and associates.
In this case, dubbed "Project Dilemma", police turned their focus to the Rock Machine and utilized the services of an undercover agent who helped capture illegal activity on audio and video surveillance. Curwin admitted Wednesday to selling guns and benzylpiperazine (BZP) on behalf of the gang, while also being in possession of a stick of dynamite at the time of his arrest in January.
The police investigation began last August and culminated in a series of raids where police seized pipe bombs, other explosives, handguns, sawed-off shotguns and ammunition, several pounds of cocaine and marijuana, 1,800 tablets of BZP, a synthetic ecstasy, boxes of cash, and Rock Machine hoodies, patches and other gang clothing.
The other 10 Rock Machine accused remain before the courts.

Supporting Tier 1 applications on VMware vSphere requires real time and granular response time and latency instrumentation of the virtual and physical infrastructure. Virtual Instruments Virtual Wisdom complements the instrumentation provided by VMware by providing individual transaction level visibility into the SAN layer of the virtual infrastructure.
Data Center Virtualization
There is a cardinal rule that we should all know about, especially for those of us who have spent a lot of time developing kickstart scripts for automated builds of the VMware hosts in your environment, that you do not use windows word editors like Notepad or WordPad when working with Linux files. If you use notepad to edit Linux files it will add unwanted line feeds (LF) to the file which may cause the file to be misinterpreted. If you must use Microsoft Windows as your client OS use Microsoft WordPad which does not modify the file in this way.

Is an Open Source Approach to Virtualization Management in VMware's Future?
• • 0 Comments
VMware has already demonstrated a penchant for using open source technologies to fundamentally disrupt the value propositions for the products from competing vendors in the systems software and applications platform businesses. This has put the operating systems businesses at Microsoft and Red Hat, and the applications platform businesses at Microsoft, Red Hat, IBM and Oracle under pressure, by providing a cost effective and fully functional alternative to the traditional licensed software models of these companies. It is entirely possible that VMware will pursue the same approach in the management software industry thereby disrupting the business models and product positions of CA, IBM/Tivoli, HP, BMC as well as many of the vendors currently in the VMware ecosystem.
There is a great deal of marketing hype about which hypervisor is better but I have spent some thinking about this and really have to wonder if the hypervisor is what we should really be focusing or concentrating on. A lot of third party vendors are starting to port their products to be able to work with both hypervisors but what about the management server itself? When third party application vendors design their applications to work with VMware or Microsoft hypervisors they have been writing plug-ins for their product to work inside the management server systems and or its client.

Replacing the Enterprise Management Framework for Virtualized Data Centers
• • 0 Comments
Systems Management Frameworks have provided an indispensable function to enterprises with large and business critical networks and data centers. However, frameworks have become a category of expensive and slow to innovate legacy software leading many enterprises to conclude that they must move beyond these products in order to properly monitor their newest environments including those that are based on virtualization and public clouds. New virtualization and cloud focused tools are providing support for these environments that is not present in legacy management frameworks. Self-learning analytics may replace the frameworks as the "manager of managers" or new frameworks may emerge out of the open source movement.
I you buy vSphere 4 (or 4.1) after June 9th, you get a free copy of SLES to run on any CPU on which you have a valid license for vSphere. This lines up SLES on vSphere alongside Windows on Hyper-v, in both cases the O/S and the hypervisor are supplied under the same license. This obviously lines up SLES on vSphere alongside Windows on Hyper-v, in both cases the O/S and the hypervisor are supplied under the same license. In the long term, Licensing SLES leaves out a tantalizing prospect that VMware can build its own semi-official version of Azure, using vSphere, SLES and Mono, without a Windows server operating system in the mix.

Root Cause Analysis – The Key to Virtualizing Tier 1 Applications
• • 1 Comment
Virtualizing tier 1 business critical and performance critical applications will require that the virtualization team be able to provide assurances about infrastructure performance and applications performance to the applications teams and their constituents. This is a dauntingly complex requirement to meet due to the fact that meeting it requires the integration of tools that are not integrated today, and that virtualization adds risk to the equation due to the dynamic behavior of virtualized systems.
The security companies are looking into all aspects of virtual environment introspection to label, tag, or mark all objects for compliance reasons, inspect the contents of virtual machines for asset management (CMDB), and an early form of Root Kit detection.
Virtualization Security is not just about the firewall, it is about the entire ecosystem, auditing, compliance, and object management.
While doing a quick Google search to find what a Cloud is, I have found several different definitions which depend on which vendor site you pull up. One thing is for sure despite the frequent use of the term, it still means different things to different people and or companies. For my reference point I am going to use the National Institute of Standards and Technology definition referenced by Texiwill's NIST Cloud Computing Definitions Final article.

TICONDEROGA If Ticonderoga Central School District voters approve a proposed $23.8 million building and renovation project, school officials hope to partner with International paper Co. to defray the cost to taxpayers.
Superintendent John McDonald said the district will work with IP to seek a U.S. Department of Education Qualified Zone Academy Bond for an interest-free loan of $2.7 million. As part of the required business contribution, IP will match 10 percent of the loan.
The $23,872,700 project is eligible for 60 percent state aid, which would leave local taxpayers responsible for $13,660,309. McDonald said that equates to $75 a year for a resident homeowner with a valuation of $100,000 starting in 2010 for 20 years.
Voters will have their say on the proposal Sept. 25. Voting will be noon to 8 p.m. in the Ti High lobby and at the Hague Community Center.
If the Ti district receives the Qualified Zone Academy Bond, it will be required to create a zone academy.
The academy, McDonald said, will teach workplace skills such as organization, work ethic, meeting deadlines and more.
We will integrate those skills into our curriculum as well as teach them in specialized courses, McDonald said.
The superintendent said the proposed building project is necessary to prepare the district for the 21st Century.
The high school, which was built in 1929 and had an addition in 1958, and the middle-elementary school, built in 1967, dont meet all the needs of students, he said.
The high school proposal calls for:
construction of a three-floor addition on the Amherst Avenue side of the high school to house technology, music and art instruction;
moving the principals office, now on the second floor, to the space vacated by the art room adjacent to the buildings front door;
building a secure vestibule at the school entrance;
moving the district office from its current building on Amherst Avenue into the school space vacated by the technology room;
replacing all the buildings windows with energy-efficient windows;
renovation of the high school gym lobby and locker rooms;
moving the guidance office to the current principals office and expanding the library into the space vacated by guidance; and
redoing the gym floor.

Special Correspondent
Bangalore: Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa told the Legislative Assembly on Thursday that the government had initiated action to nab those involved in the attack on a church on Hosur road on the outskirts of Bangalore and that "stern action" would be taken against those indulging in such activities.
Replying to the matter raised by Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and Janata Dal (Secular) Floor Leader H.D. Revanna, the Chief Minister said: "Such attacks are being perpetrated by those wanting to tarnish the image of the government." He assured the minorities that no effort would be spared in providing support and protection to them.

Smallpox is a deadly virus that was all but wiped off the face of the Earth in the late 1970s, but on Tuesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that random bottles of smallpox were found in at a federal lab near Washington, DC.
Children who have been conceived during a severe epidemic are more resistant against other pathogens later in life.
How well people are protected by the smallpox vaccine depends on more than the quality of the vaccination: individual genes can alter their response.
Researchers recently discovered how poxviruses, viruses that contain DNA, can change quickly; in particular, they have an "accordion-like" way of viral adaption to fight against host viral defenses.

Vaccinia virus (VACV or VV) is a large, complex, enveloped virus belonging to the poxvirus family. It is well-known for its role in eradicating smallpox. It was the first human disease to to successfully be eradicated by science. The World Health Organization was the one who completed the endeavor.

Odds and Ends: Romero, Aumont, Wang

Odds And Ends, Posts
-All the local Phillies beats are reporting that JC Romero believes he will be ready by opening day, and if not by then, definitely a week or so into the season.
This is a great sign that Romero has recovered from elbow surgery, because it's imperative he find his 2008 form when he was one of the best situational lefties in baseball. With Antonio Bastardo and Sergio Escalona being the primary lefties with Romero out, the Phils could use that stabilizing force in the bullpen. I will say this; I am excited to see what both of the young lefties will bring to the table this spring. In winter ball, Bastardo was lights out, while Escalona struggled mightily.
-According to the twitter of Tyler Kepner of the New York Times, Phillippe Aumont had "great action on his fastball" today. That's an important sign as Aumont is being groomed as a starter once again. The Seattle Mariners used him out of the bullpen to fast-track him to the majors, but the Phillies see him as part of the rotation down the line.
Unfortunately, there will be some pressure on Aumont to show his skill during Spring Training as a way of justifying the Cliff Lee deal. Right or wrong, that's the way it goes, so lets see how Aumont deals with being a target during the early part of spring.
-Chien Ming Wang agreed to a deal with the Washington Nationals today. It's for one-year and $2 million that includes $3 million is bonuses.
In swapping emails with our very own Amanda Orr, she believes the Nats could win 75 games this year. After all, they've been very active this offseason signing Wang, Matt Capps, Eddie Guardado, Adam Kennedy, Jason Marquis, Scott Olsen, Pudge Rodriguez, Tyler Walker (our old friend), and Miguel Batista. They've certainly done some maneuvering and are getting better slowly, so 75 wins is not out of the question. That just makes it even more difficult for the Phillies in a slightly-better (on paper) NL East.

Ed R… at first glance, I thought that you were being serious. Dukes batted .250 with 8 HR last year… he stole 3 bases and was caught 10 times. .965 fielding percentage… career .771 OPS in three seasons. Overrated ballplayer and a terrible person, to boot… but I guess he's scary when you consider his rap sheet.

WFC… I agree with you 100%. That was the final point that I made (they're far from "junk"). If Rube felt like he needed to replenish the farm, I think that he did a solid job of that. Could he have done better, maybe… but he got the deal done. If they could have kept Drabek, we all would have been happy… as it stands, we've got Aumont and he has great potential.

That's what some of us were trying to say all along….that the Lee deal was not only necessary….but NOT a snap, reckless decision. No way did we get "junk" in return.
I, too, would have LOVED to have seen Drabek here…I was bummed, to say the least, to learn that he was included in the trade… BUT I got over it quickly knowing what we got….and how much BETTER our team is in the long-run.

I got over it quickly, as I looked at it as: we got Roy Halladay.. while keeping Domonic Brown
Brown, who will now be very closely watched as a possible/probable successor to Jayson Werth (which makes me angry, but its a business, and so i understand)

Lee is a stud… and I was very pissed to see him go unexpectedly, but hopefully the deal will work out as Amaro and Co. have planned and at least one of those three prospects we got will contribute in the major leagues in the future. Actually, it could all work out VERY WELL if Lee has a "down" year after throwing so many innings last season and postseason (somewhat likely I'd say…)

I wonder if romero will ever be what he was in 2008. Minus whatever he was taking that got him suspended. I am not holding my breath. I would love to see him be good but I am not counting on it.
Will we ever stop the chirping about the lee trade? The GM cant deal 8 of his top ten farm hands in 6 months. He needs to replenish that some. Its his job and livelyhood to make this team competetive every year. Was a good deal coupled with the Halladay deal. I know they arent related I am saying getting prospects after trading some makes sense to me.

The Nationals offense was pretty good last year, but it was the pitching that let them down. They are probably not gonna be a 75 win team, but they're definitely not gonna be terrible as they were last year.

Heard on Mad Dog radio last night – over/under for wins from Vegas:
Nats – 65 1/2 (I'd take over)
Sea – 79-1/2 (Over also)
Mets – 89-1/2 (seems very high with all the ? – take under)
Phils – 89-12 (take over)
Atl – 82-1/2 (depends on whether JJ is injured,pick-em right now for me)
There were a few other interesting ones, but I don't remember them all. Have to lookup the lines later today. Vegas is surprisingly optimisitc on the Mets. I know Vegas has a lot more resources than I do, and their earnings depend on getting it right, but I still don't see it. I think they'll be lucky to get 82 wins, put the over/under at 80-1/2.

So basically, Vegas thinks that the Mets and Phils are dead even. Interesting. The guys in Vegas are pretty sharp. Johan must be healthy. I just don't see it though.

I'm surprised by the Seattle prediction. 79 is low….with all the changes they've made.

I don't think the line indicates the Mets an the Phillies are dead even. I think the Mets number is high because a gazillion Mets fans would skew the over if the number was realistic. It's all about getting even money on both sides of the number.

I dont think Seattle is that good. .. still lacks offense
I like the Rangers, and the Angels still out there, and I kinda think they'll all be packed tightly, all around .500
and whoever is the healthiest wins the AL WEST
I wouldn't touch the NATIONALS at 65 . .
I would go UNDER METS
Mets are still a nasty team.. they have talented pitchers who had down years last year (or are they just not good pitchers?) .. but they still have Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, David Wright, Jason Bay . .Chris Coste . . I dont think they'll win 90 games, but they should be at-or-over 81

Apparently even Vegas has a New York bias!
No matter how many awful moves the Mets make, they are still favorites to win the division?

I'll go out on a limb and predict (I really hate predictions) that Seattle will win the AL West….in SPITE of Cliff Lee…but , yeah, you're probably right…84-85 wins tops. They're hardly a juggernaut.
Nationals 63-99
Mets 79-83
Marlins 84-78
Braves 87-75
Phillies 95-67
(What an idiot…I just realized I put the NL standings in REVERSE order!!)

We are really, really, really thinking low on them . . . they have All-Stars at numerous positions

I expect the Mets to finish at .500 or over, but anything more than that…

So then the real drama in the NL East is who finishes SECOND…Mets Braves and Marlins could all be bunched within a few games of each other…low to mid-80′s in wins.
I guess after last year…and the two collapses down the stretch the previous two years…it's easy to get lulled into the thinking that the Mets really suck..
When in reality they DO have potential to wins games and be a pain in the ass.

The Mets have potential, but their pitching rotation is awful besides Santana. Unless they do incredible offensively, it's hard to imagine them winning the division.

I still think the Marlins suck . . .
Josh Johnson is the Cole Hamels of 2009 . . the increased innings, and financial security will throw him for a loop this season
the rest of their guys are always injured (Sanchez).. or remind me of Brett Myers, where they are just as likely to walk 10, as they are to Strikeout 10 (Ricky Nolasco)
I think the Braves are VERY good. . . and I think the Mets will in fact be a pain all year long

The Mets right now remind me of the Phils in early 2000s – talent, but so many ifs. If Beltran, and more importantly, Reyes are healthy, Bay flourishes at the plate and plays adequte D, Wright gets some confidence back at the plate, Perez, Pelfry, et al pitch decent (not CY Young like, but Blanton like, which is a tall task for a group that can't find the plate), Castillo gets his legsback, they find an mlb catcher, Murphy/Tatis play decent defense, get on base, Francouer hits the whole year like it is April,…., they could battle for the division. They need an awful lot to break right, though. It seems like the Braves and Marlins only need a few things to improve (Braves need a healthy Chipper, Marlins need a pen and defensive improvement) to be in the picture. I think the Mets, Braves, and Marlins will flip flop through the year, but will probably finish per Chuck's rank above.

Beyond Santana, the Mets have an awful starting rotation. They have a revolving collection of chuckleheads at 1B, C, and 2B. There's no guarantee that Beltran will ever play another game or that Reyes will remain healthy. David Wright is fresh off one of the most amazing power outages (at least one that can't be tied to injury or PEDs) in recent memory. I'll refrain from pronouncing that Francoeur is over his 2008 tailspin solely on the basis of two good months in 2009. Let's be realistic, the Braves and Marlins are both better than the New York Mets.

Johan Santana is nasty..
John Maine has a career 4.22 ERA .. 28 years old
Mike Pelfrey has a career 4.58 ERA (thanks to last year's 5.03) .. but in 2008 he had an ERA 3.72 … so which pitcher is he? The way he's dominated the Phillies bats in the past, I think he's legit. And he just turned 26 so he's yet to enter his prime
Jon Neise is 23, really unproven, but has potential
that's 4 pretty legit guys that are all capable of winning 12-15 games .. obviously more for Santana
But with every team, staying healthy will be key for them . . . I dont think they make the playoffs, but I think that they are far from TERRIBLE like they were last year

Vegas makes odds on trying to get people to bet it is nto a reflection of how good a team is. Teams like the mets and cowboys and yankees always take more action than they deserve so you can actually make money betting against them.

It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.

2K has just confirmed that Borderlands developer Gearbox is in fact spearheading the development of the infamous Duke Nukem Forever game.
First announced in 1997, this title became legendary simply because it was never released. Original creators 3D Realms went bust in May 2009 thanks to a lack of funding, and was subsequently sued by Take-Two over lack of delivery and the small matter of $12 million.
An article from the Wall Street Journal also reports that the game will be released sometime within the next year, which isn't too farfetched as according to reports there is playable code at the 2K PAX booth this year - which is surprising, we must admit.
Stay tuned for further information.

Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
The vice president (VP)/general manager is an executive who oversees all departments of a business. The VP/general manager must be skilled in leading multiple teams, finance, human resources, operations, and other types of departments, depending on the business. Usually, the vice president and general manager roles are separate, but in some cases they are a name for the same position.Read More...
VP/general managers frequently work as the primary authority figure overseeing the different departments of a business. They also work with other executives, including chief operating officers and report to the president and/or the chief executive officer of an organization. They must be able to lead multiple groups or departments of a business in working together as a whole. They may implement their own ideas for improving the processes and production of each department they oversee. The working environment for VPs/general managers is very nice. They usually have a spacious office and a secretary. They also spend a lot of time in board and conference rooms. Their hours are typically Monday through Friday, with shifts such as 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but they tend to have more flexibility with their working hours than workers at lower levels. They may travel occasionally or frequently, depending on the company they represent. The tools they use are telephones, computers, pens and paper, and other typical office supplies.
As a top executive, VPs/general managers must usually have a master's degree in business management, accounting, or finance. However, some do work their way up to the position with a bachelor's degree. They must also have a wealth of experience in related fields, as well as prior management experience.
VPs/general managers hold a high level of power in any company that they may work for. They report to very few people and hold a large degree of responsibility for how well all aspects of a business perform. They must be versatile and capable in many functions of the business world and able to coordinate so that all of the different departments that they oversee work together at a high level.

Does anyone know the name of the stone on the walls?
James River Tile & Stone Art
This one isn't exact, but it looks a lot like DalTile Slate Collection, Stacked stone S783
Signature Design & Cabinetry LLC
@jinel: Thank you for your inquiry! This backsplash is from Statements Tile, it's a stacked quartzite, Golden Gate Tumbled. Although it may be used for floors, walls, and countertops, this product is meant for interior applications only.
Thank you guys so much. I'm looking for a backsplac for my New Venetian Gold granite. This or cream subway tile backsplash should do.

THOUSANDS FEEL THE EARTH MOVE; Quake's 5.30am wake-up alarm.
Thousands of people were alarmed by the 5.30am quake, which was strong enough to vibrate walls and rattle crockery.
The deep rumble was recorded at 4.2 on the Richter scale. But no damage was reported and no-one was hurt.
The epicentre was at Budbrooke, near Warwick, although households up to 30 miles away were shaken.
Seismologists say the tremor was caused by a minor geological fault underneath Warwickshire.
Garage owner Leo McDermott, of Mantilla Drive, Styvechale, Coventry, said: "I was frightened and so was my wife but I knew immediately it was an earthquake.
"My sister lives in San Francisco and I have slept through quakes there. It felt like someone had crashed into the back of our house."
Many families thought their homes were being broken into. A police spokesman in Coventry said: "We had a number of calls from people who thought intruders were on their premises. An earthquake is the last thing you expect."
Lisa Adam, aged 15, of Chesford Crescent, Alderman's Green, bolted awake at 5.30am.
She said: "The whole house was shaking and I really panicked. I ran into my parents, but they told me I was dreaming."
Alan Eaton, a builder, of Darnford Close, Walsgrave, said: "I heard a huge bang and thought it was a car outside, but then I realised it was something like an earthquake because my radiator wouldn't stop rattling."
In south Warwickshire Insp Colin Reynolds said: "We had about 50 phone calls following the tremor.
"We have checked the motorways and bridges in the area, but no damage is reported."
Seismologist Glenn Ford of the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh said: "People would have felt windows rattling profusely for about five seconds.
"It was felt as far away as Gloucester, Birmingham and Rugby and was enough to set ornaments shaking but not to do serious damage - it was 100,000 times smaller than the Turkish quake last year."
It was Britain's strongest tremor since 1990, when Bishop's Castle, Shropshire, was hit.
Christine Graham, manager of the Highway Girl boutique in Riley Square, Bell Green, said shoppers had been buzzing with news of the tremor.
"People from the Bell Green and Aldermans Green areas were woken by the earthquake. They have said pictures were rattling and beds shaking from the force of it."
Security firm managing director Tony Walsh, aged 51, of Glasshouse Lane, Kenilworth, said: "I heard an explosion and jumped out of bed because I thought somebody was breaking into the house.
"The house was physically shaking. I've never known anything like it before."
We've felt it all before ...

May 1994: Welford-on-Avon, near Stratford, was the epicentre of an earthquake measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale. The effects were felt in Stratford and as far away as Worcester.
April 1990: An earthquake measuring 3.0 on the Richter scale was felt in a large part of central and southern England including Coventry, London, Brighton, Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester.
July 1984: An earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale toppled a chimney in Radford, Coventry and was also felt in Warwickshire, Wales, Cheshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man.
November 1975: An earth tremor shook Ash Green, on the outskirts of Coventry, and a small area nearby.
11 quakes in 30 days
In the past 30 days there have been 11 earthquakes in Britain but most of them were so low on the Richter scale they were barely noticeable.
Britain is criss-crossed with small fault lines where earthquakes take place.
According to available records 11 people have died in British earthquakes, the first in 1580 and the last in 1940. Most of them died from being hit by falling masonry, falling out of windows or falling downstairs.
The largest quake recorded in Britain was at Dogger Bank in the North Sea off the east coast. It took place in the early hours of the morning on June 7, 1931 and measured 6.1 on the Richter scale.
The biggest earthquakes ever measured were in Chile in 1960 and Alaska in 1964, both registering 8.5 on the Richter scale.
The world's hottest spot for earthquakes is on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in an area running from South American, along the west coast of the USA, through Alaska, Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia to Australia.

Having been brought up with a scrounger (the current, more politically correct, term being 'gleaner'), things left unused disturb me. There is an incredible satisfaction gained when making use of such objects, particularly when the items combined in particular ways can be transformed into an expressive whole.
Lovely folds.
Looks kind of dirty when printed, more's the pity.

Re: To Hash or to Array--Uniqueness is the question.by sauoq (Abbot)

When collecting data that you only want unique values from, would you:
That depends on what your "values" are. If they are just strings or can be represented in a canonical form as strings than go ahead and use a hash. If the values in question are something more complex, then a hash isn't going to work for you as the keys of a hash must be strings.

Caramel Apple Sticky Buns
I'll just say it: I'm not a big fan of nuts on or in my cinnamon rolls or sticky buns. To me, big chunks of nuts are a distraction. A distraction from the pure, unabashed ridiculousness of the gooey, fattening rolls. You can add nuts to this recipe, of course, but I encourage [...]
