I came across a client the other day who had began implementing a new domain about 6 months ago with with 4 Hosts Windows Server 2012 Data Center Edition 2 XEON PROCS, with 12 Cores 24 Threads, 256GB RAM, along with 32TB Sata3 6GB Drives Internally RAID5, and 2 Internal Disks 1TB RAID0. However, they had used the Windows Server 2012 Data Center Evaluation Edition and were somewhat stuck.
What I found through friends and Google was though you couldn't just add the Datacenter Edition Key using the GUI and we were unable to find a solution to resolve a group of Servers that hosted the AD-DS Feature,
1. DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition
The GUI doesn't not work For Converting from Evaluation to FULL License
Make note of the Current Edition : In our case since we know its Data Center Edition the Current Edition : ServerDatacenter
Now that we know the Current Edition ID, its simple to run the next command
2. DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenter /ProductKey:1234-5678-9876-5432-1234 /AcceptEula
Note: Obviously you will need to use your own product Key as the one I have provided will not work.
Once you modify the PID to use your own licensed version. You will notice that the process will update components, then Install PID, Remove the Evaluation Components and ask you to reboot..
Once the server has rebooted, the bottom of your screen will no longer have the Evaluation Count Down

Happy Holidays,
I ran into an interesting problem after using terabyte unlimited image for Windows to transfer my installation from a 1TB drive to a 2TB Drive and I have used it many times without any issues. When I opened Office I received a notification that I had 3 days to Activate Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus and when I attempted to activate over the internet I received another notification that I had exceeded the number of licenses available, which luckily for me was wrong. So I logged in retrieved another Product Key (PID) and followed the instructions below to resolve the issue.
On Microsoft Windows 7 Click Start > Control Panel > Programs > and from the list of installed programs, find Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (or your installed version of Office) > select the correct version and click Change.
A recent, isolated issue was discovered in the SharePoint 2010 Products April 2012 Cumulative Update that could result in an HTTP 500 error when users delete objects to include documents, lists, and Webs and a new object is created using the same path where the original object remains in the Recycle Bin.
The following packages were affected:
KB2598151 – SharePoint Server Package
KB2598152 – Project Server Package
KB2598321 – SharePoint Foundation Package
KB2598304 – Wss-x-none.msp
This issue has been resolved in the revised packages. The revised packages include support for resolving issues related to the originally published updates.
Products Affected
SharePoint Foundation 2010
SharePoint Server 2010
We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and security updates that were included in the previous SharePoint Server 2010 update package releases.

REPOST of Joelo based on info from Todd Klindt and Facebook
Do NOT Install the April 2012 SharePoint CU, an update or re-release is underway. It surprised me a little bit when I was browsing facebook and I happened onto the update in the SharePoint Updates FB group, and saw a post that said. Do not install the April 2012 CU, as a rerelease is underway. I didn't recognize the name of the person posting the update, so I clicked on their name. He was a Microsoft PFE. So I tweeted the recommendation not to install the April 2012 SharePoint CU (both Foundation & Server). The group is a pretty obscure group with only 236 members: https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/sharepointupdates/ and not something I check regularly. No update from the MS SharePoint team blog.
This morning the Facebook message has been deleted, but both the SharePoint 2010 Foundation and SharePoint Server CU articles reflect that the bits have been taken down. Last night I tweeted that you shouldn't install it based on a MS PFE Facebook update, and Todd Klindt pointed out that the KB had been updated. Thanks Todd. I guess that's the message we get. They have taken them down for a technical issue.
Beeeeeeep. Your bits will be returned to their regular station after they fix a little issue. Do not look at the man behind the curtain. If you haven't installed it yet. Don't.
If you were testing it and getting ready to apply it. Stop testing it an update is on its way. I'm sure MS is really putting a lot of effort in a really quick turn around. Now none of this changes the fact that you should really only be installing these CUs unless they apply to something you need, especially now. Early in the product cycle there were some really critical things being fixed. SharePoint is pretty solid these days, so really the recommendation which hasn't changed is to only install the CU if you were being impacted by something and need it.
SharePoint Foundation 2010 April 2012 CU
SharePoint Server 2010 April 2012 CU
"Article ID: 2598151 – Last Review: May 24, 2012 – Revision: 3.0
Description of the SharePoint Server 2010 cumulative update package (SharePoint server-package): April 24, 2012
Notice: This hotfix package is no longer available due to a technical problem."
So I believe the product team wants the message to get out, but doesn't want a bad taste out there. Don't freak out. If you haven't installed it, just don't. If you have, no worries the issue was something that they thought was an important enough regression that they wanted to fix and re-release. No big deal. You will be able to install the update over the top, once it comes out.
On twitter there is speculation about incoming email quota as the related regression. I'm not sure what it is. The twittersphere is not lit up from problems, so I wouldn't complain. Let's just let MS do the right thing and let this one get chalked up as they are doing this in our best interest, and it's better that they handle it this way.

One of the frustrating experiences I have had recently due to using ADFS2, DirSync or SSO is the Public Certificate used for ADFS2 and SSO expires 20 days early (more about this in an additional post). However this shouldn't be an issue since my Partner Account / The Partner of Record should be able to reset Passwords and mange my Client Office 365 environment. However, as you can see from the screenshot below. There isn't anywhere to manage your clients, like there was in BPOS. Though if you login to http://Partner.Microsoft.com you can find many users and clients that you have being managed.
Partner Overview
The Partner overview allows you to view additional marketing material or Build Your Business, Send Invitations, and Confirm Purchase Orders. While I still have less than 500 Client Users with only a handful of clients including my own company.
Though as you can see from the next screen shot I am logged in as the Global Admin of my Partner Account and been granted Assign Administrative Access to Companies I support
Global Admin Settings
There doesn't appear to be any way to manage your clients. This wouldn't have been an issue if I hadn't deprecated my Companies Global Admin Account by associating the email address with the ASDFS Service Account which is a domain user without certain privileges in my domain. Also, there isn't any documentation that the companies Global Admin Account would be deprecated. The reason I did so was so that any issue with DirSync would be emailed to this account and it would be monitored. Interestingly, all DirSync failures go to your alternate email address in my case this is an unmanaged domain like yahoo.com.
There will be a more complete post where I walk through the steps of restoring SSO when your certificate expires 20 days prior to its Expiration.. The moral of the story is to use a Password LockBox Like the Lenovo Client Security Solution and create more than one Global Admin Account prior to implementing SS and don't add the Global Admin Account to any of your Domain Users especially a service account.
I showed someone this a few days ago and they suggested I blog on the simplicity of using powerISO. The easy way to create a bootable USB drive is to download powerISO from http://sharepointadam.com/2010/11/18/import-user-profile-photos-from-active-directory-into-sharepoint-2010/ you need version 4.8 or newer version 5 is the current version
After installing powerISO and rebooting your system click on the powerISO icon and you will see a GUI like the following.
Click Tools then click Create Bootable USB
Next choose the Source Image File and the Destination USB Drive and click Start
When finished just click OK
Of course you can always do it the old way
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Hi All,
I just replaced a Seagate Momentus 750GB drive as my primary drive in my Lenovo W510-CTO 16GB RAM,i7 x920 with a Samsung 830 512GB SSD. the Samsung came with Norton Ghost but since I was running Windows Server 2008 R2 I used Aomei Partition Assistant 3.0 Server Edition and it completed the copy of the partition without a hitch after I resized the 750GB primary boot partition to 512GB in about 4 hours. I also have a Crucial 512GB SSD M4 and have provided the test results from Crystal Disk Mark v 3.01 x64 Edition as part of this post for the 3 drives listed above.
I was surprised by the better performance provided by the Crucial. Obviously performance overall has been greatly improved. the only reason I installed the Samsung was so I would have the spare Crucial I purchased off Amazon available in case Windows 8 Public Beta is released in the next few weeks and to that end I may keep the Samsung installed as my primary but I think I will return the Samsung and purchase another Crucial regardless.
One thing the Samsung has going for it is the drive design is very appealing just not appealing enough to get around the performance issues.
I hope this post helps someone else in making decisions on which SSDs to use in their laptops.
What have your results been, what are the best performing SSDs on the market? Note: I sold my Corsair Extremes due to a problem with them going to sleep and not restarting.

In this presentation, I'll show examples of building BI content in SharePoint 2010 using PerformancePoint Services, Excel Services, SSRS, and PowerPivot. Because I'm covering many applications, I won't be able to cover any one topic too heavily. But at the end of the presentation, the attendee will see an integrated dashboard with several examples of how BI applications can use SharePoint 2010?
|Cloud-Based SharePoint. For Real?
|David Berry
|"To the Cloud!" has become the rallying cry of many businesses looking to offload the costs of maintaining internal systems. SharePoint is one of those systems heavily touted as being great for the cloud. We'll look at efforts to standardize the cloud, the different types of cloud offerings and decision points to consider from a technology and cost perspective. We will also look at what Microsoft's Office 365 offerings are as a baseline reference.
|Office 365: Migrate, Manage and More

|Compliance with SharePoint 2010
|Doug Vargo and Pete DiDonato
|Microsoft has ramped up the governance and compliance features with out-of-box SharePoint 2010. New governance features include in-place records declaration, an enhanced records center, and the ability to create and apply information policies on documents and content types. However, there are still gaps in capabilities relative to meeting the requirements of compliance policies such as the 21 CFR Part 11. This session will outline a general approach to compliance using SharePoint 2010 features, and we will outline specific examples of how the Microsoft eco-system can be used to meet more specific governance & compliance requirements.
|Legal Electronic Content Management (LECM) and SharePoint 2010
|Isaiah Campbell
|What is the SharePoint 2010 Legal ECM Story and how does that compare to the needs of the marketplace? What do legal and IT departments need to be successful with SharePoint 2010? Should I use a records center or a team site? What features will I need to activate and why? Why is getting information architecture right and creating an enterprise standard via the managed metadata service and a content type hub the right way to go? How do I start with a site collection and scale my approach to other content areas in SharePoint? All these questions and more will be discussed in detail with the goal of providing insight and direction to focus on execution of a SharePoint LCM strategy and project.
|Managed Metadata A to Z – Plan, Implement, Make it a Success!
|Stacy Deere, Stephanie Donahue
|Despite the hype, there is still a lot of confusion and misunderstanding surrounding metadata in SharePoint Server 2010. We cover Managed Metadata starting with the planning phase through implementation, and provide tips on how to make it successful in your organization.
|Enterprise Content Management: The Key Features you need to know
|Mary Ann Lorkowski
|Content Management has been a rising challenge for the organization; from the time the content is created, routed for approvals and to the time it is archived, it becomes a challenge for the organization to maintain the integrity of the document. SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Content Management features can help the company throughout the entire life cycle of the document. I information.
Key Lessons
|Hear Me! I'm NOT a Techie! I Just Got a Site and I Have No Idea What to Do
|Bonnie Surma
|Don't be embarrassed. You're not alone. Many people face this dilemma every day as organizations move to building internal sites on SharePoint and then pushing them out for use. It's not just a site. It's an entire change to all that you ever knew about doing your day-to-day job. Don't look at it as a chore. Come and learn how to view this new challenge in a positive way by learning the basics about your site—lists, libraries, web parts, navigation, and more.
|Wiki Do's – no Don'ts: Building Wiki's in SP 2010
|Joan Wolff
|Wiki's have become a go-to staple for brainstorming, gathering ideas and sharing snippets of content among widespread, time-restricted project team members. But, how can wikis be used in SP 2010 to your best advantage? In this session, you will learn how to set up a wiki library, create a wiki site, edit it, add to it, share it and maintain it. We'll answer questions like: What's the difference between a Wiki site and a Team site? How can I use a wiki to bring out the best in my project team? How do I keep "bad" information out of the wiki and only offer up the good stuff? We'll also dive into wiki linking and image adding – capabilities that add to the value of wikis.
|"It's only wafer thin!" – Large List Maintenance in SharePoint 2010
|Michael Mukalian
|With SharePoint 2010, as has been said around the campfire, "5,000 is the new 2,000!" What does that mean? It means that we now need to be mindful of not just how many items are in our lists, but how our views are constructed as well because, well, it's not as dramatic as the scene referenced in the title of this topic, but let's just say it's not really pretty. Today's talk will be a combination discussion and walkthrough of the various ways of handling and managing a large number of items in a SharePoint list.
|Securing Microsoft Technologies for HITECH Compliance
|Marie-Michelle Strah, PhD
|Both federal and commercial healthcare organizations are faced with unprecedented opportunities to improve operational efficiencies and access to care, including Health 2.0 initiatives, telemedicine, and innovative outreach and collaboration solutions for patients, caregivers and providers.
However, the roadmap for interoperability, meaningful use, program integrity and data integrity provides challenges for HIPAA 5010, ICD 10 conversion, and data sharing across DoD, VA and commercial healthcare providers and ACO.
|So you want to implement SharePoint in your organization… What now?
|Edmond Avanesian
|Cloud Computing, Social Network, Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Gov 2.0, Collaboration, Twitter, Blogs, Wikis, ROI, Digg, Flickr, and not to mention a slew of other homonyms and acronyms. After we've got our cheat-sheet to help us out, and think that some of those buzz words are actually business worthy, where do we go? We know that we can't continue running "business as usual" when times are changing by the second. One of the new enterprise platform solutions from Microsoft to help address these concerns is SharePoint 2010.
• Organizational Readiness

By the end of the session users will be able to build their own solutions using the methods and the technologies discussed.
|SharePoint for ASP.Net Developers
That's great and all, but where do I put my code?
|Greg Hurlman
|The market share for SharePoint has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few years, leading to many developers being told that they are now SharePoint developers. Developing for SharePoint is a strange new world; we will cover what's new, what's the same, the top things that every SharePoint developer should know, and a few things to make every new developer's life easier.
For new SharePoint developers, it can be hard to know where all the hooks are for your code to run. Web parts are obvious enough, and layouts and master pages are familiar from regular ol' ASP.Net. But what about behind the scenes? What's possible? What's not? Where are the hidden gotchas?
|Memory Management in SharePoint Development
|Matthew Vignau
|How to identify and minimize the impact of memory leaks. Further discussion on the design considerations necessary with SharePoint development.
Guys: Please provide a little more of a description
|Agile, SCRUM and SharePoint
|Michele Eichhorn
|SharePoint is a great out of the box application. But, as we all know, our clients can come up with a multitude of functionality that they want that just isn't there. This leads to inevitable development projects; the number of which are only limited by their imagination.
Using an Agile Framework provides multiple opportunities to gauge the direction of a project and reassess your position through an iterative and incremental approach. While agile methodologies abound (Crystal Clear., Extreme Programming, Feature Driven Development, DSDM,etc.) our discussion will concentrate on the SCRUM Methodology. This methodology is characterized by short "sprints" where definitive acceptance criteria are captured. Most importantly, the project can be readjusted based on end of sprint feedback.
|Professional SharePoint Dev: Cross Cutting Concerns
|David Mann
|Application Lifecycle Management in SharePoint 2010
|Jeremy Thake
|Jeremy Thake, Enterprise Architect at AvePoint Inc and SharePoint MVP, will explain the principles of Application Lifecycle Management in SharePoint 2010. The session will suit SharePoint Developers, Team Leaders, Architects and Development Managers to understand how to approach ALM with SharePoint.
The NothingButSharePoint.com Project ALM approach will be discussed in detail as a case study, which involves global distributed development teams and designers. The pros and cons of this approach will be compared to the others. Common problems with promoting from Dev to Staging to Production will be discussed in detail.
|Setting up a SharePoint 2010 Continuous Integration process
|Tony Testa
|Continuous Integration (CI), in a nutshell, is a software practice where members of a team check in their work frequently resulting in multiple builds over the course of the day allowing for integration errors to be reported frequently. Although commonplace in most organizations today it has taken quite a while to make its way to SharePoint projects. With the development improvements in SharePoint/Visual Studio 2010 setting up CI for your SharePoint projects has never been easier. In this session I will briefly cover CI fundamentals/benefits and demonstrate how to setup a CI process for a SharePoint 2010 project using one of the many available toolsets.
|Search Deep Dive: In the Movies
|Bill Wolff
|Enterprise and FAST Search are explored in detail. We start with installation and configuration of search service applications. Content sources, crawl rules, and schedules are defined. The crawled properties are explored and associated with managed properties that drive refiners and index queries. We investigate the search query language syntax using some free third party tools. Search centers are created and customized using built-in web parts.
|Architecture: Fast Search Server 2010 for SharePoint
|Carlos Valcarcel
|With the new release of SharePoint comes a plethora of new features: linear scalability, support for more languages, better relevancy, and support for 100 million documents in total per farm just to name a few. Yet, Microsoft's acquisition of Fast Search and Transfer in 2007 has changed where SharePoint enterprise search is going. After a brief overview of SharePoint 2010 we will look at Fast Search Server 2010, what its feature set looks like and the reasons for using it over SharePoint search.
|Keys to Success with SharePoint Search
|Mike Oryszak
|Help users find what they are looking for! This session will provide an overview of the core features that make up the SharePoint Search stack along with best practices for configuring and maintaining search in your environment. By following the Keys to Success you will provide users maximum value and increase their productivity.
|Migrating from 2007 to SharePoint 2010 – How to do it "Search First"
|Natalya Voskresenskaya & Paul Olenick
|Most of us have heard about the enhancements and power offered by SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Search, but many do not realize they can take advantage of it before upgrading their 2007/MOSS environment. In this session we will cover how to leverage Search for SharePoint 2010 and FAST Search for SharePoint today as part of your organizations roadmap to 2010. We'll demonstrate the integration of SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint Search 2010 from the end-user perspective and discuss the many benefits "Search First" offers to an organization and their users.

There's a paper in the basement, in the room with the sink and the bells on the wall. It's under the table to the right of the sink. You can only read it once, and then the main character wont let you read it anymore. I didn't read it, because I was listening to a journal entry, and now I don't know what it says. I quit and reloaded and now the paper is just gone completely.
If someone could take a screen when they encounter this, that would be great. Alternatively, if anyone knows where the save file is stored, that would help too.

"I have lost my reputation!" quoth Othello. "I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial."
Just as it doesn't take much arsenic to poison a punch bowl, it doesn't take much cheating to taint a championship or an entire career. Though Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro rank 10th and 12th on baseball's career home run list, both have been exposed as steroid users and neither earned even 20 percent of the vote in the 2012 Hall of Fame election.
Monday night, when Milwaukee's Ryan Braun became the first player to hit three home runs in a game at Petco Park, the feat reminded many fans of the rap Braun beat this spring — when he convinced an arbitration panel to overturn a 50-game drug suspension on a chain-of-custody technicality. Despite what amounts to a finding of "not guilty," the two words "Braun" and "steroids" appeared in at least 86 different Twitter posts in the 24 hours preceding Tuesday night's game.
Some stains are indelible. And some of those "perceptions" John Harbaugh has picked up on are pervasive. Bill Belichick might be the most brilliant coach of his generation, but his image has been irreparably damaged by spying on the competition.
High price to pay for a competitive edge.
"You just have to make (the rules) work for you," John Harbaugh said. "That's what success is in the world: you have to find a way to do things better than somebody else. But if you're cheating, in the end, you're going to get discredited. It's not worth it."
Not if you value your name as much as you value the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The repair was pretty straight forward. We watched the video provided on the website. The only issue we had was that our dryer was older than the one in the video so getting to the heating element was different than what was shown in the video. We were able to figure out what we needed to do but it took a little amount of time to figure that out. We used a rubber mallet to dislodge the heating element case from where it was attached to the dryer.

I love the look of the summit shell. I'm thinking about buying the clear shell from towerhobbies. However, I am a little worried about how it would look on my old T-Maxx. It is the original .15 version. The wheelbase is much smaller than the summit.
If possible, are there any owners with a t-maxx as well that can post up pictures with the summit shell on it?

Smart grid wins: a huge score for Sensus in the UK (and more)
By: SGN Staff
By Doug Peeples
SGN News Editor
Sensus was selected earlier this week to provide the core communications technology to support one of the world's largest smart metering projects: the UK government's plan to put smart meters in millions of homes and small businesses by 2020. Sensus technology will support the rollout of electric and gas smart meters to ten million locations in the Northern region of Great Britain, subject to contract.
"The selection validates that our technology has no borders," said Sensus CEO and President Peter Mainz. "Further, it provides financial and energy savings for utilities and consumers by improving operational efficiency and enabling the public to make informed choices on their energy use." Sensus will bring its FlexNetâ"¢ communications technology to the project. The open standards-based communications network is currently in more than 16 million endpoints, including smart meters and other devices.
The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced that communications company Arqiva has been selected as preferred bidder to provide the smart metering communications service for Northern England and Scotland. In conjunction with Arqiva, Sensus will provide the long-range radio technology for a private, secure and resilient communications network. "The scope of the Great Britain initiative serves as a benchmark for future projects around the world."
CTC Global announced that it entered into a joint venture with the NARI Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the State Grid Corporation of China, the world's largest electric utility company. The new company, Jiangsu NARI CTC Composite Material Co, Ltd, will begin commercial operations in early 2014 and produce high-capacity, energy-efficient, and highly-proven ACCC® conductor core in China, exclusively for the Chinese market.
CTC will manage the new venture, which will produce conductor core exclusively for the Chinese market. "We are pleased that State Grid Corporation of China recognizes the substantial value of the ACCC conductor, and together we look forward to producing the reliable and efficient conductor core in China," stated Dr. Jason Huang, CEO of CTC Global and General Manager of the new joint company.

text: 8gb is more than enough for most people, even running a bloated os like Vista (win 7 is primarily Vista but a little more optimized). The only real reason you would need more is for serious photo manipulation (photoshop), and/or video editing. When I say serious photo manipulation I'm talking about working with large files (8, 10, or higher megapixel files in raw format). In general more ram is always better, but don't let some department store clerk talk you into something you don't need.

We Chased Sharks! It is True!
Wed 17th of June, Koh Tao, Thailand
Bruce the Underwater Backpacker
We've been reading for a while that Koh Tao is the place to go for diving, especially in these parts. After diving Bunaken in Sulawesi we were a bit sceptical as that place was amazing.
Also visibility in the water at Koh Samui was terrible, no …
On our last night in Koh Tao, we had a spectacular sunset over the ocean. We walked on the peaceful moonlit beach bidding Koh Tao farewell.
We decided to take the more expensive but infinitely more comfortable high-speed catamaran back to Chumphon (from where we took a bus to Bangkok). It was definitely worth it—I've never been on...
Hey Everyone!
It took us 24 long hours of straight travel to get here from Chang Mai, but it was well worth the trip. We left Chang Mai at 2:30 pm and hopped on an overnight train to bangkok, which was scheduled to arrive at 5:30. When we woke up at 5am though, one of the ticket collectors informed us that it would be closer to 6am...
From Ko Samui we took a boat to Ko Pha Ngan. Pha Ngan is famous for it's full moon parties, where people come from all around the world. Fortunately, or unfortunately(?), there was no full moon when we were there, thus no party. We thought about taking a one day diving there, but since there had been so much rain lately and the visibility ...
Na regen komt zonneschijn wordt wel eens gezegd...en in dit geval kan dat kloppen. Na vijf dagen in de drup (all beach but no sunshine) vluchtten we aan boord van de de high speed catamaran ferry enkele breedtegraden noordwaarts om Ko Tao te ontdekken.

Kenseth makes move to Joe Gibbs Racing official
"We felt like if we could get Joey into a full Nationwide deal and add some Cup races, we'd be in good shape," said J.D. Gibbs. "When the 22 car opened up, we knew it might look different."
Kenseth is expected to pick up some of the Nationwide races that Logano ran in a shared ride with Denny Hamlin and developmental drivers, and team owner Joe Gibbs said the organization will field two other Nationwide teams that will run for the title. He said the drivers would be announced at a later date, but Elliott Sadler is believed to have locked down a deal already.
Kenseth will be the third driver in the Cup lineup that includes Hamlin and Kyle Busch.
Both Hamlin and Busch are eager for Kenseth to step into the program and add some leadership that's been lacking since three-time champion Tony Stewart left after the 2008 season.
But, Busch said they'll miss Logano.
"I love Joey to death, I think he's one of the best and he's one of the hardest working drivers out there," Busch said. "I wish Joey would stay, but obviously if there's something better out there for him, he's got to do what's best for him."

Follow us on
Beach parties are lively and most people believe are for the young only. Am throwing a beach bash at 30 still young and lively and this is how I plan to make it successful.
Party invitations
For the beach party invitations I'm printing cards with a picture of an ocean on it. The picture will appear on the top part of the card. Two days ago as I was researching on what to add on the card, I bumped into sea shells, I thought it would be creative to add them ion the card just to be colorful I collected and later on tied on the cards using blue ribbons. With shells on each card I knew everyone would love to come at the party.
To give it more test and almost perfect I plan to instruct the guests to wear silk, loose clothes since its at the beach.
Party decorations
I hired apart of the bar and grill facing the ocean directly. I want my guests to view the beach at some distance, have organized for balloons sky blue in color tied all over the place. Attached on every balloon are shells just to stick to the theme.
Food and drinks
I will get a variety of cold drinks due to the cool and hot environment to quench thirst for my guests. Sodas, coke and other juice will be available, including apple and mango flavors. The cups and glasses I plan to use will be designed in shell-like shape.
For the food, I will provide a snacks and dinner menu for the party, as it will be extended into the night. Some of the delicacies that the outside catering team have proposed include Pasta Shell Crab Salad, Shrimp boil, Cocktail sauce, Lemon butter, Salad, Shrimp Dip for appetizer, Pineapple boat fruit salad, strawberries, bananas, flake coconut, Sour dough bread
Entertainment and activities
My son is one of the best DJs and will help me out with beach music selection, which is to be played on the background as the party continues. When dancing the silk loose clothes will enable my friends to sway easily and follow the music.
The most favorite game I would like to be played is the Treasure Hunt, mostly enjoyed by kids. It will be fun and involving for the guests.
I have also hired a group that will be in charge of the lighting system at the party, for the night. This will make it secure for the guests to walk around or even jump into the beach anytime they feel like because its safe.
Party favors
I have collected many small shells and bead them to look like hand decorations to be worn on the neck and the hands and also made rings from the shells. Everyone will pick the shells as on their way out.

Great curry
posted 5 years ago
I have used one of these for years. It is great as a curry and also for removing hair when your horse is shedding. My horses love it as a massage too! It washes off easily and is very durable. Fits comfortably in your hand because of the notches. I would buy this again.

How much does it cost to use Skype on Telus and how much data will it use?
Just like with Skype on your computer, Skype-to-Skype calling and instant messaging is free. You will require a little Skype Credit or a subscription to call mobile and landline numbers abroad, which are charged at regular Skype rates.
Telus data charges will also apply. As long as you have an unlimited data plan, you shouldn't incur any extra data charges for using Skype on Telus phone. However, here is an example to break down some typical data usage for you:
Say you have 25 Skype contacts and you sign in twice a day for a total of one hour. If you were to send about 15 instant messages and make two calls, either Skype-to-Skype or to a mobile or landline at around two minutes each, you would only use roughly 1 MB of data per month.
To learn more about data usage for Skype over the Telus 4G network, visit the Telus website.

I thought the story in Tactics Advanced was written for children, and the gameplay seemed like a watered down version of Tactics. Final Fantasy Tactics has a story centered more on social class inequality and government corruption.
You should know that Final Fantasy Tactics has a terrific soundtrack, produced by the same peeps that did the Final Fantasy XII soundtrack.

Award winning filmmaker Kevin Smith and TV icon Jason Mewes head across the pond for their first ever Irish performance. Better known as their alter-egos Jay and Silent Bob, the unique duo performed sold out shows, bringing to life their hugely successful SModcast 'Jay and Silent Bob Get Old'. Chronicling their early years and friendship, it became a rare opportunity for Irish fans to get up close with the pairs' unique brand of storytelling. Get ready for a roller coaster ride of mayhem, laughs and bewilderment! This outing features not one, but two live shows from Dublin.
