Application Virtualization or Application Deployment, which one is better? (Part V)
• • 0 Comments
Taking a look at solutions from Citrix, Endeavours Technologies, InstallFree, Microsoft, Spoon, Symantec, UniDesk and VMWare. "Is it a choice between Application Delivery vs Application Virtualization?"
MokeFive Suite is an enterprise desktop management platform that is used to create and administer layered virtual desktop images called 'LivePCs' which execute as guests on a type II hypervisor. LivePC images are authored using the MokaFive Creator which also serves as a test platform to simulate and end-users experience. LivePC images can be stored on centralized or distributed file stores. MokaFive also provides support for Amazon S3 storage, which can be of significant value in managing highly distributed environments, or run directly off USB flash drives. MokaFive LivePCs are effectively hypervisor agnostic; support is currently available for VMware's free Player and the open source Virtual Box. Beta support for Parallels Workstation is new in MokaFive Suite 3.0, and MokaFive's own bare metal platform will be shipping in Q1 2011.
The question of whether and how to replace DRS is really a part of the question of what is in the virtualization platform and what is not. Clearly the virtualization platform consists of much more than the hypervisor. VMware would like to define the virtualization platform as all of vSphere Enterprise Plus, and then suggest that vCloud Director and its own performance management solutions are logical extensions of that platform. Enterprises need to be careful about where they draw their own lines in this regard. As VMware is a clear market leader both in terms of product functionality and enterprise installations, VMware needs to be given full credit for the quality of vSphere and its success. However full credit does not need to imply that one is 100% locked in to VMware solution as there is room to pursue third party IT as a Service, Performance Management, and Service Assurance strategies as well as replace/augment components in vSphere.
For a developer, and subsequently the team of people that has to support certain kinds of applications in production, a PaaS cloud can be a wonderful thing. Why can a PaaS cloud be so wonderful? Because if you have a web based application based upon Java, Ruby-on-Rails, or .NET you can find a cloud provider that handles the entire hardware and software platform for your application.
Can you use Desktop Virtualization in your organization to improve IT delivery? Desktop Virtualization, as a concept, is straightforward – separate the desktop environment from the physical machine. This gives you benefits in terms of speed of delivery, how you can provide access to mobile and remote workers, how you can ensure security and compliance.
Startup Browsium, is readying a lifeline for enterprise IT organizations that moving to Windows 7 but unable to escape their addiction to Internet Explorer 6.

Red Hat Acquires PaaS Cloud vendor Makara to help compete with VMware's vFabric
• • 0 Comments
Red Hat today announced the acquisition of startup PaaS vendor, Makara, which provides a deployment platform for most of the Open Source application stacks onto most of the IaaS cloud infrastructures. Red Hat intends to use the purchased technology rather than the product itelf. It gains additional application-level management, monitoring and configuration functionality for an emerging stand-alone PaaS offering to drive its customers towards a fully RHEL-cloud.
If you are a hyperscale (such as for the Cloud) data center manager, one of your top concerns is always how to get the maximum amount of computing work done per Watt of power consumed. With that in concern at the forefront Cloud Providers like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have strong incentives to explore new solutions to delivering compute cycles. Rumors coming out of Facebook suggest that it is looking to move away from its current X86 architecture platform in favor of servers based on ARM Holdings Cortex processor range. Porting an entire service to a new processor platform may not appear to be a sensible direction to take but porting to a new architecture is more a financial consideration than a technical one. If the cost per unit of performance justifies it , it is cheaper to pay a few programmers to rework the apps for a new architecture than it is to buy more servers.

I have been wondering about this because of his frequent appearances in battle threats, who seems to favor Despero's hulking redskinned form,you know the one that's physically on par with Superman.
But as i understand, that wasnt how he looked in the begining, where he was basically the version that appeared in Time Masters, with purple scaly skin and the build of an average joe. This was the same version that appeared in the JL cartoon.
Question is; Are there more than one Despero? Who is the real, in that case? If only one, how did he gain the superstrength and how did he loose them again? And lastly, will it be nessesary to mention which Despero employed in a battle thread?

I have never ever smelled such a bad perfume. It's so heavy on the flowers but not nice flowers for me it is. And the heavy, heavy flowers scent in combination with sandalwood is defenitely the wrong one. It really make me sick and i almost had to throw up smelling it on my skin. So defenitely try before buy, it is only for the women who love the very heavy and dominant flower scents.
I've had this perfume a long time. I loved it at first but the bloom is off the rose. It doesn't offend in any way as long as you like very flowery. Smells like strong bath powder to me now.
The scent is feminine, gentle, pretty without being "sticky nice" thanks to the delicate woody notes. Suitable for grown up girls. Office friendly. The longevity is about 3-4 hours. My rank is 5 out of 10. Will I buy it again? No.
Floral and sweet with a woody undertone, incense-like because of the sandalwoood. A very well-blended sophisticated fragrance at an unbelievably low price.
Opens with ylang-ylang, lilies and carnations on me..I get the sandalwood and vanilla towards the drydown, along with a sweet, sugary rose. Growing up in India, sandalwood is a common scent and sadly I don't like its strong smell, yet I could not resist the cheap buy. Lasts about 4-5 hours on me and then becomes just a faint whiff of sandalwood and vanilla. Creates a powerful sillage in the beginning so I spray it carefully.
While I might not buy it again, this beautiful bottle is a pretty addition to my shelf right now, and I do enjoy wearing it occasionally. Another lovely blind buy for me!
ETA - I don't know if my body chemistry changed ever since because I had started getting too much sandalwood from this perfume. I gave it away to my sister and this smells way better on her. Another cheap mistake I am never going to repeat!
I'm so glad I ran into this one. It's nice and light, yet very feminine. I smell something powdery and soapy about it. Just spraying it on always makes me feel peaceful, and it lasts a long time.
I forgot to say that I DO love it! Woops!
This fragrance reminds me of the cool trade winds racing across Bermuda which were filled with the fragrant scent of flowers. I said reminds me, as the floral bouquet is entirely different. This cool breeze offers you heady doses of magnolia, cyclamen,ylang ylang and carnation, with a wee sprig of lily of the valley. I detect no rose, but the medley is heavenly. This heady concoction is not sweet, but satisfying. The sandalwood anchors the florals brilliantly, leaving you with a clean, fresh, big-blue-sky, outdoorsy fragrance that is hard to ignore. Its' beauty lies in its' difference!
I find the sillage to be soft to moderate.
Longevity is also moderate.
I'm surprized how much I like this fragrance, being that I usually prefer white floral to yellow. The first Tracy Ellen fragrance that I liked, but I've only tried a couple. That said it is a little too weak on lasting & on the sillage for me. A light fresh floral and I also detect a slight aquatic note. The bottle is also very pretty.
Very floral, romantic and charming fragrance!
As for me, I'm a huge fan of a fresh magnolia scent. But it's not easy to find exactly such kind of magnolia scent note in fragrances. I can say that this fragrance includes the best fresh magnolia note I could find in fragrances for this moment. Maybe I wish it was more intensive, but anyway it's heavenly beautiful and gorgeous! And it's one of the leading notes in this perfume.
Except this gorgeous magnolia note this beautiful floral fragrance includes such floral leading notes like the cyclamen, ylang-ylang, osmantus, lily of the valley and carnation notes. The cyclamen note really makes this fragrance more nice and romantic. The ylang-ylang note makes this fragrances more intensive in the floral way. The osmanthus note brings more tenderness and makes this fragrance more airy. Besides, the lily of the valley note brings the lightness. The carnation note makes this fragrance more chic. Other floral notes are far from overpowering. I only don't like that some floral notes are intensive enough to hide a little bit my favorite magnolia note beauty.
This fragrance is light enough, but the floral notes are intensive. It has some floral sharpness. And it's just a little bit sweet.
I love this fragrance and its romantic floral bouquet. It smells gorgeous!!!
i really love this perfume. it's a sweet creamy floral. i'm getting a lot of vanilla, rose, lily of the valley and even orange blossom (altho, it's not listed). this is reminding me of L lolita lempicka, but not as sharp or strong. i think it's really beautiful and feminine. i would buy it again. lasting 4 hrs on me so far.
A very delicate and innocent floral scent that makes you feel clean and refreshed. Extremely pleasing to my nose. Would make a great daily office/work fragrance. I must admit that while I like Ellen Tracy fragrances, if smelled blindly I would never be able to tell them apart, except for woody Ellen Tracy. They just fall into that unidentifiable "nice" category: lovely but forgettable.
I like it. This is my first Ellen Tracy perfume. It is sweet and floral. Though it has a peppery aroma when I first apply. It stays on for 5-7 hrs.
This is a very feminine, pretty perfume. It seems slightly peppery when I first spray it on but then that disappears and what emerges is a lovely creamy, sweet slightly powdery, fresh smell. Very nice! It remains consistent all the way through and it lasts for ages on my skin. I really like it. I also like the bottle and the color of the perfume, which are very pretty!
In my experience, all of the Ellen Tracy perfumes I've tried so far (Imagine, Ellen Tracy, Ellen and Inspire) are all very nice indeed and I wish they were easier to find in England. Thank god for perfume websites where I can actually buy them!
WOW!!! THis is the most romantic and feminine scent I have ever used. It is floral and sweet, yet light and refreshing. Makes me think of being at an elegant garden party.
WOW!!! THis is the most romantic and feminine scent I have ever used. It is floral and sweet, yet light and refreshing. Makes me think of being at an elegant garden party.
I could say floral plus a little fresh woody about it...

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Justin BoronThe state Legislature sent a 2005 supplemental budget to the governor without the $1 million originally set aside for the commuter rail planned for service from Lovejoy to Atlanta. But local leaders spearheading the project, said the lost funds would not derail the start date for service in fall of 2006. The money had been in the $16.6 billion mid-year budget earlier in this year's session when budget hearings were held. But Sen. Valencia Seay, D-Riverdale, said the money went to a rail upgrades at Brunswick ports instead. Clayton County Commissioner Carl Rhodenizer said the funds were discretionary, flexible money that had not been used for the rail project and would not dim the outlook of the project. Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam, D-Riverdale, said she worried the money's removal was a sign that the state was backing away from the project. While much of the money is still in place for rail service to begin in Clayton County, funding for an extension of the rail service has been a contentious issue in Henry County, as local leaders decide whether or not to match state funds for a station in Hampton. Rep. Steve Davis, R- McDonough has been accused of misleading his constituents in saying a rail extension into Hampton would cost the county $5 million. Davis said he had not misrepresented the cost. Also in the supplementary budget, Seay said she was able to maintain the $25,000 that the Calvary Refuge Center in Forest Park receives to help underprivileged people across the Atlanta region. The House also passed a $17.4 billion state budget for next year. Loaded with nearly $1 billion in new spending, it sailed through the Georgia House on Friday in a fresh display of how the roles of Democrats and Republicans have changed since the GOP won control of the chamber. Republicans, who once criticized Democrats for loading state budgets with pet projects, were the ones defending a spending plan Friday. Democrats were the ones in attack mode, charging that Republicans provided money for projects in the districts of certain legislators while shortchanging education and state workers. "Somebody has got to stand up and say we didn't do right for our state employees. Somebody needs to stand up and say we ought to do better for our schools," complained House Democratic Leader DuBose Porter of Dublin. Porter argued the budget should have included money to give state workers a pay raise in October rather than in January and that a down payment should have been made on restoring cuts to educational spending in past years. But House Speaker Pro Tem Rep. Mark Burkhalter, R-Alpharetta distinguished the special projects from that of his Democratic counterparts saying, the Republican ones weren't "wasteful spending." "There's one thing if it's band uniforms. It's another thing if it's a water line or a sewer line that would spur economic development," he said. Republican Rep. Ben Harbin of Evans, chairman of the House budget committee, insisted Republicans will do more as the economy continues to improve, and defended the special projects as "local community projects that meet a lot of needs." As Gov. Sonny Perdue recommended, the measure includes 2 percent pay raises for teachers, university system employees and state workers, accounting for about $150 million of the new spending. The measure includes more than $200 million in new money for K-12 schools and colleges and universities, more than $300 million to meet rising costs of various state health care programs and nearly $100 million to pay first-year debt costs on $1 billion in school, college, transportation and other building programs. The following action also occurred this week in the Georgia General Assembly. There are 12 business days left in this year's session. G-Strings to Steak Dinners in Ethics Bill The House overwhelmingly approved tougher rules for elected officials Friday, drawing sardonic stabs from one Democrat who compared the bill to a G-string. The bill, approved 163-3, includes a waiting period for elected officials becoming lobbyists after leaving office, a measure thought to reduce influence-peddling by former politicians. The bill also increases maximum fines for ethics violations from $1,000 to $10,000. But many provisions of the original proposal were stripped out. Backed by Perdue, the original bill also would've capped gifts to lawmakers at $50 and would've given the state ethics commission broader powers to investigate conflict of interest complaints. His remark elicited whoops from lawmakers, but he was jabbed right back from the Republican Leader, Jerry Keen. Keen said Porter himself is wined and dined by lobbyists and announced a menu from a dinner Porter attended earlier in the week along with other legislators: broiled crab cake, 18-ounce New York strip, key lime pie and a $39 bottle of wine. "Noodling" gets the nod The House also approved a bill this week to legalize noodling, a practice of catching fish with one's hand. A finer point of a more rural culture, some in the Legislature had no idea what "noodling meant." School start date bill fails A proposal to ban schools from starting their years in early August was defeated Thursday as a House committee decided local authorities, not state lawmakers, should say when school starts. An education subcommittee rejected the bill, which would ban local school boards from setting start dates before the last Monday in August. After hours of public comments, where parents generally said they supported the idea while educators opposed it, the committee defeated the idea 10-3. Lawmakers cited local control principles. "Why shouldn't this issue be taken to local boards of education?" asked Rep. David Casas, R-Lilburn. The vote didn't follow party lines. It was sponsored by a group of Republicans and the House Republican leader spoke in favor of it but most Republicans on the committee voted against it. All Democrats voted no. Both Henry and Clayton County School superintendents opposed the bill, calling it a local issue. Divorce to take longer The Senate voted for a proposal to extend the waiting period for an uncontested no-fault divorce from 30 to 120 days for couples with no children and 180 days with couples that have children. Couples with children also may have to take classes on how the separation would affect their kids. The Associated Press contributed to this article.

Two Wheel AdventuresRead MoreTwo Wheel Adventures owner Chris Carr's love of motorcycles has driven him to adventures including becoming the 2011 AHRMA Middleweight Superbike National Champion, careening into authordom with Street Riding Secrets, and bestowing his knowledge of motorcycle handling on budding enthusiasts with a series of introductory classes. Together with a team of moto-enthusiasts, he leads courses that run the gamut from two-hour introductions to motorcycling or scooter skills to two-day basic riding courses, motorcycle street-savvy sessions, and licensing courses. For certain courses, students can borrow one of the motorcycles from Two Wheel Adventures' stable of 250cc Kawasaki Ninjas, Honda Nighthawks, and Yamaha XTs, rather than scrounging up a borrowed bike or attaching a motor to a unicycle.900 U.S. 27Roopville, GA US
Lion Golf ClubRead MoreThe Lion Golf Club?s 18-hole, par 72 layout unfurls across 7,086 yards of short-grass corridors buttressed by skyscraping pine trees and winding streams. Players can begin their day of orb-blasting bravado by unloading their own individual buckets of practice balls into the verdant abyss of the club?s 11-acre range, where distant targets beckon to precise golfers and lonely 9-irons. The swing-loosening sessions pay off immediately at the third hole, considered the course?s most challenging because of a hard-to-gauge, uphill approach shot. The grizzled sands of treacherous bunkers lurk at the periphery of most holes, but the course?s true challenges await on each green, where slick surfaces and bold slopes conspire to form breaks more difficult to read than the fine print on an infomercial. Rounds conclude with three breathtaking finishing holes, including the signature 16th, which features an elevated tee and a green fronted by a winding creek. After the round, golfers can refuel with tasty bread-ensconced eats such as a chicken-salad sandwich or classic BLT, both served with fries.400 Murphy Industrial BlvdBremen, GA US

Certain health problems are more likely to develop in people who have
Down syndrome than in the general population. These
are often a result of body structures that did not develop normally.
Your child with Down syndrome may never have any of
these problems even though he or she is at increased risk.
health problems include:
Children and adults who have Down syndrome may not be able to tell you or the doctor if they don't feel well or are in pain. Instead, their behavior may change. Or they may stop doing things that they used to do. These may be signs of a medical problem. Talk to the doctor if you notice that the person with Down syndrome behaves in a new way. Also be alert for signs of depression,
anxiety, or other mental or behavioral health problems.

Fantastic Keyboard player and musician.
Thank you so much!
Excellent keyboardist. Dresses and acts professionally. Versatile performer who is well versed in various genre of music.
Thank you so much!
My wife and I LOVE Mike's album! It is relaxing to dim the lights and listen to it as you de-stress after a long day.
Thank you Lance! Knowing the CD has touched lives makes all the difference in the world!
I have seen Michael perform as well as shared the stage with him! Very versatile, can play most any genre of music.
Thanks for nailing my songs at Joey's Michael.
Mark, Always a blast to play with such great musicians!
When Mike first joined our Jazz group he jumped right in.
He did'nt hesitate creating charts. He is ALWAYS on time.
He's always on time and has a positive attitude. What I am
Most impressed with is that Mike is actually a Boogie
Blues player but is playing Jazz as if he always ha.
Thank you Mike
Thank you Rheda for the kind words!
A. In the past few months I have played solo at weddings both Jewish and Christian.
I have played with some of the top bands in the country. Just some of them are: Lady J. Huston & The Fireballs (voted best blues band in Las Vegas) (also while with them, I was voted to the Entertainers Hall of Fame), NRQ New Rhythm Quartet (an amazing collection of musicians that play smooth jazz, jazz, blues and R&B all over the valley as well as with Rheda K's Jazz Krew, a trio with an amazing vocalist, Rheda that performs jazz standards, blues and R&B Classics. Also have played keyboards and been Musical Director for the ever popular Toast of the Town and Jolli's Jammers, an amazingly versatile classic rock band!
I have played with major artists from the strip to several all over the country. I also have a Protools and professional video editing software as part of my recording studio so I can create tracks for your audio and video projects or come to your studio as well.
A. Find a musician that does not have an attitude but will work with you and give you what you want. Find one that is not only positive but has the talent to play and improvise no matter what type of songs you want them to play. If you have an event, like a wedding, make sure they will learn your special songs. As a producer you want to find one that understands what you want and can help you make your dream a reality. As a teacher you want one that will understand the direction you are headed and help you become the keyboardist you want to become. As a studio musician you want them to be able read well and be able to add that one special thing that makes a difference in your songs.
A. There are many people that just play music, but they don't understand how to make a song special. Many can be show-offs. If you are planning your wedding, you want a musician that will learn your special songs and understand how to play just at the right time and when to be quiet. As a band leader you want someone that knows how to play with musicians (by ear and reading music) while complimenting what is happening but at the same time when you need a rockin' solo can make the band even more excited and create and energy onstage that drives the event to a whole new level. They inspire greatness in other musicians around them. As a teacher you want someone that can pull out of you what no one else could and finds that greatness you always had as a musician, composer or arranger. As a producer you want someone that can see the vision for what your song(s) can become and knows how to get it there through great arrangements and motivation of the musicians.
A. Who have you played with? Who have you produced for? What venues have you played? How many times have you been in a recording studio? Do you have several examples of your work that would cover the type genre you are looking for? Do you have any references that relate to the type of project you are hiring them for? Do you have any references as to the type of person you are or leader you are? What are your charges? Are they hourly? Per project? How do you expect to get paid and when? Do you need a deposit?
A. First and foremost, I care about people and their vision. Whether they are a musician that needs tracks or an outgoing, positive keyboardist or someone holding an event from a wedding to a corporate party. Secondly I listen and always compliment the event or band that I am with. I know how to speak with people and make sure they are having a good time as well as lead a band to get exactly what my client wants.
A. Making people happy! Music is a universal language that we all love.
A. Hearing compliments on my solo CD "Blue Shores" such as, I listen to it all the time and it makes me happy and relaxes me.
A. That I combine passion for what I do with wanting to help people. They always feel better after having met me.
A. My Mom made me take lessons....then I quit. 4 years later at the age of 13 I met a pianist that inspired me to want to play. 40 years later, he was playing Carnegie Hall and he agreed to play on my CD with me. Giving back to others that way is what I strive for now beyond just performing.

"Not as expected"
Miss Hamer
26 March 2015
I bought one of these fairly recently. My butter is still rock hard and will not spread. I know it's not summer yet but the butter dish is indoors, central heating etc so not exposed to extremes of temperature. Therefore I don't understand it. Very expensive for a butter dish esp when it doesn't do what it says in the description, in my opinion the description is false. What is Lakeland actually doing to resolve this as I am not the only person who has mentioned this fault?
A note from the team
Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. I'm sorry you've been disappointed, I'll pass your comments to our buying team and will be in touch shortly.

Eighteen months ago I flew into Helmand Province pondering on what lay ahead for me. I was excited and daunted at the same time. I knew then that it would be a life changing experience and so it has proved to be. It has been challenging, inspiring, fun, and of course frustrating at times – but persistence has paid off and all the hard work has delivered concrete results.

With Tyreke Evans back in the lineup and getting the job done from 3-point range, the Sacramento Kings just returned to the win column. Orlando Magic rookie coach Jacque Vaughn knows that Evans and the Kings are improving from beyond the arc, but he's more concerned about stopping them from getting into the paint. Sacramento will try to win two in a row for just the second time this season Friday night when the Magic look to bounce back from one of the worst 3-point shooting efforts in franchise history. After missing the previous two contests with a bruised left knee, Evans hit two late 3s and finished with 23 points Wednesday as the Kings ended a three-game slide with a 107-100 home victory over Toronto. The fourth-year guard has never been known for his outside touch - he's a career 25.8 percent 3-point shooter - but he's 7 for 15 from beyond the arc while averaging 20.3 points in his last seven games. "I'm happy for (Evans), especially on his outside shooting," said center ...

Modern homeowners have to really love their cat to withstand the eyesore that is a litter box. Outside of toilet training Whiskers, it's the only potty option—until now. The Modkat Litter Box is a contemporary reinvention. With its cubed shape, enclosed base, and locking lid, it's super easy on the eyes. It replaces the usual front access with a rooftop opening. This keeps litter off the floor while preventing dogs from getting a taste of what's inside. Add the reusable liner and the ergonomic scoop, and you can stop compromising your aesthetic for your feline.
The litter's locking lid acts as a walk-off mat, which also helps keep litter off of the floor. The ergonomic scoop features an incorporated brush and can be stored on the side. Entry opening is 8.5" at its smallest point. Lid is hinged to swivel open, dumping any trapped litter back inside, and at 90° lifts straight off, providing full access to the reusable liner.
The entry opening measures 8.5" at its smallest point. The interior is large enough for the average cat to comfortably turn around inside and dig.
Liner includes incorporated handles for easy removal and emptying. Constructed from tarpaulin, which is rip-resistant and easy to clean. Designed to fit inside the Modkat without peeking out. Organic or all-natural clumping litter is recommended (not included).

One would reason that Councilmembers Kring, Hernandez and Galloway's allegiance would be to the 21,000 Anaheim residents that signed petitions to qualify a referemdum against high-density housing in the Anaheim Resort Area. Will the three turn their respective noses up in the face of the public's interest in favor of the special interests of SunCal and other housing developers?
Following the voters decision to qualify the referendum around two-months ago, the three rogue councilmembers have delayed voting in favor of placing the item on the ballot (as required by law) three times. They appear determined to hem DLR in so as to prevent it from expanding - and to prevent voters from having a voice on the issue.
Word is that they are conspiring with SunCal to place their pro-residential (anti-resort) petition on the ballot - in spite of the fact that it failed to gain enough signatures from voters to qualify. Just who do they serve? I certainly hope that Anaheim voters replace each of these disloyal clowns with true representatives as they come up for re-election.
On August 21st, the City Council will once again vote whether to honor the people's desire to have the voter approved referendum placed on the ballot. Kudos to Mayor Kurt Pringle and Councilman Harry Sidhu who have fought for the long-term economic interests of Anaheim and it's residents. After all, 54% of the City's revenue to pay for public services (etc.) is generated by Disney and the Anaheim Resort District (less than 5% of Anaheim's land mass).
Anaheim residents (register to vote if you currently do not) -
"Please join your friends and neighbors in SOAR (Save Our Anaheim Resort(see a full list) by calling or e-mailing City Hall at (714) 765-5247 or [email protected]. Or attend the City Council meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, August 21 at City Hall, 200 S. Anaheim Blvd.). Tell them that you are demanding your right to vote on high-density."

Love is friendship set on fire.
I would love to meet someone to do things with. I'm not in a hurry to rush into a relationship, but I hope to build one in time with the right person. I've been accused of being independent, but I don't see that as a negative. I'm not afraid to do anything on my own, but I enjoy very much being with someone. Sometimes I am the life of the party and other times I'm the person in the corner observing everyone else. I am passionate about life and would like someone else who is the same. I'm not afraid to decide on a Thursday night to pack a few things and drive to a river for some canoeing on Saturday morning. At the same time, I enjoy planning too. I keep my life organized. I have everything I need, so, I'm not looking for someone to provide for me anything except the "good stuff"... you know, the stuff you can't buy. (= He must have accepted the past. I can't have a fair chance if you're still bitter. I live in the present and I'm optimistic (sometimes reluctently, but optimistic nonetheless) about the future, I'd like to find the same in a mate.

Top-ranked Scott is a majorthreat everywhere but US OpenBy DOUG FERGUSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | June 12,2014AP PHOTO
Adam Scott stands on the 18th green during a practice round for the U.S. Open championship in Pinehurst, N.C., on Tuesday.PINEHURST, N.C. Adam Scott is trying to build a golf game that can travel to any golf course in the world for any tournament.
He can only hope it knows the way to Pinehurst No. 2. Or any U.S. Open course, for that matter.
Scott goes into this U.S. Open as one of the favorites because of his game, his form and his world ranking. The Australian didnt reach No. 1 in the world by accident. He has won six times around the world in the last two years and really thrived in the majors.
He won the Masters last year for his first major. He could easily have won the last two U.S. Opens. He was in the hunt at the PGA Championship last year at Oak Hill.
But the toughest test in golf?
Scott hasnt broken 70 at the U.S. Open in five years. He has missed the cut as often as he has made it six times each. And in those six times he completed 72 holes, he has yet to finish under par. His best performance as a tie for 15th.
Ive talked to you all about 10 years of playing pretty average, by my own expectations in majors, and tried to improve that the last few years, Scott said Wednesday. And I think Ive done a good job but maybe not quite as good at the U.S. Open.
Scott is riding some reasonably good momentum. In his first week at No. 1 in the world, he won at Colonial. A week later, he was tied for the lead at the Memorial with seven holes to play until he put one tee shot in the water and took two shots to get out of a bunker.
Even so, he has no complaints with his game.
Scott is among the best drivers in golf and has been for the last two years. That would seem to suit him well at a U.S. Open, where accuracy is always a premium. His putting comes and goes not even the long putter has cured that inconsistency. But the rest of his game is well-rounded.
Maybe its coincidence that I havent had my best stuff at a U.S. Open, Scott said. But I certainly feel like where my game is at now, and the past few years, I should be able to compete here. Im trying to build a game that can play anywhere. So its a good week for me to turn the corner and get in contention.
I think this course sets up well to me.
He plays the opening two rounds in what has been described as the Masters grouping with Bubba Watson and Charl Schwartzel. Scott said the only similarities between Augusta National and Pinehurst No. 2 are the options around the green chipping, putting, pitching and knowing where not to miss.
Patience will be tested, he said.
His patience already has been tested plenty in the U.S. Open.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK The United States win over Japan in the Womens World Cup final was the most viewed...

Phila. police now have 24-hour real-time surveillance center
Using a new database system, conducting a thorough search should take under a minute

PHILADELPHIA — These days, when Philadelphia police officers respond to robberies and shootings, they might learn that video surveillance from the scene has already been pulled from cameras in the area.
Officers in neighborhoods known for car thefts, meanwhile, might be handed an automatic license-plate reader that can scan thousands of vehicles within a few hours.

Problem with lastest nvidia driver.
1 Attachment(s)
I have a TNT2 Model 64 on a Soyo 7vba running Debian Woody. I downloaded and installed using the .run file the Nvidia drivers (including compiling the kernel module). Then configured /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as the README. Everything works fine. Except for a little big detail.
When starting X a "video garbage" square appeared in the middle of the screen (I assume that should be the nvidia logo) and stays there. Everything works fine and the square disapeard if I change resolution (ctrl+alt+plus). After that I can come back to the original resolution (ctr+alt+minus), and the square is gone. The MAYOR problem is that if I kill X the green garbaged square reapear IN CONSOLE MODE taking like 1/4 of the screen. If I start X again is the samething. Changing between virtual terminals didn't help.
I can change to the virtual teminals (ctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3) when in X with no problem.
My XFree86 version is 4.2.1
I attach my XF86Config-4 file. I tryed the NoLogo option and NvAgp 1 (because of the README recomendation for my specific AGP controller) options but they didn't seem to work (agpgart is still there when I lsmod with X running).
I KNOW that THIS is the configuration X is using.
Someone else had a problem very similar to this, and it turned out that they were using the rivafb framebuffer console driver. You cannot do that -- the only high-res console driver that works with the nVidia driver is vesafb.
Do a cat /proc/fb to see which driver you're using.
Thanks for replying so fast!
des@LAN-EGRA:~$ cat /proc/fb
mmm... Nope... anything else?
P.D.: Sorry if my english it's not perfect!
Thanks, It's finally fixed...:D
I don't know it just fixed once I restart my PC.
(sorry Debian Woody... I never restart... never hangs up.... :-)
Anyway thanks!

Why would a younger guy be interested in me?
Here's a great story. I met this young guy five years ago, at the time he was only 18. I am 16 years older then him. He is now 23 and I am 39. I... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
If I were you, I will not continue with this age difference. Even 5 years difference between my ex boyfriend and me, there were a lot of problems with among all the other things..For sex, of course, that will be great but life is just not sex. Plus, as a mother, think about your own kid with your friend, that's not a right thing to do. For a young guy, he might like you the moment he was horny because young guy like experienced woman. (Just like we can eat almost any food and think delicious when we are starving) Then, they will move on. He might be testing the ways he did with you to other girls at his age by now.
Nothing personal, I also have bad experience with younger bf's (not more than 5 years younger)
I don't want you to think that he will be thinking about you.
What Guys Said 3
It is none of my business...I have seen relationships like these B 4...the odds of them working long term will be somewhat less that average. idk..he will be 43 when your 59...and 53 when you are 69...u will be more aware of possible ramifications than he will...but..if that is what he wants..u two are free adults...
Just curiosity about having sex with an older woman with experience. I've felt attracted to older women before. I doubt the guy is expecting anything serious, probably just a friends with benefits situation or either now that he got years worth of lust out of his system he may not contact you.
What Girls Said 3
From one Mrs Robinson to another (hehehehe ) now nothing! Just go with the attention you are getting from him. There are countless number of young guys who fancy more mature women. In fact that is all I prefer. I'm about your age group and yeah it can be fun. The only thing I caution you on is that fact that he is your friends son. So tread carefully. The best age group is late 20's to early 30's though. A bit mature and stable.
Have an opinion?

NEW ORLEANS - JANUARY 24: Marques Colston #12 of the New Orleans Saints runs the ball on a double reverse play against the Minnesota Vikings during the NFC Championship Game at the Louisana Superdome on January 24, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The New Orleans Saints didn't put either WR Marques Colston or WR Lance Moore on the injury report for this week, per WWLTV New Orleans. Both receivers were checked for concussion symptoms during the game against the San Francisco 49ers, but appear ready to play against Atlanta. Colston and Moore will be key components in the Saints' Thursday night tilt against the Atlanta Falcons, who lead the division but have faltered of late. Against the 49ers, Colston became the Saints' all-time leader in receiving touchdowns.

According to a men's tennis forum page, a reddit user and a YouTube video description, Novak Djokovic shouted a vulgarity at the crowd during his second round match against Grigor Dimitrov at the Madrid Open. Since the alleged statement of "Now you suck my d**k" apparently was shouted by Djokovic in Serbian, his native tongue, this lowly blogger cannot say for certain if that is in fact what the No. 1 men's tennis player in the world shouted at the crowd. What I can state, however, that Djokovic did lose the match to Dimitrov, the world's No. 28-ranked player, 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (8-10) 6-3 and that BBC Sports reports that the crowd was extremely pro-Dimitrov, chanting his name throughout the match. Video of the alleged vulgarity, which appears to occur after Djokovic wins the second set in a tiebreaker: So, the question remains, anyone out there who speaks Serbian and can translate what Novak Djokovic said to the crowd? We wait with bated breath. The post Did Novak Djokovic shout 'Now you lick my d**k!' at Madrid Open crowd? (video) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

Robert C. O'Brien In real life, Robert C. O'Brien was Robert Leslie Conly. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, attended Williams College and graduated from the Universtiy of Rochester. While there he studied piano at Eastman School of Music, and at one time considered being a musician. Instead, he became an editor and writer for "Newsweek" magazine from 1941 to 1944, and for "Pathfinder" from 1946 to 1951. From 1951 until the time of his death in 1973 he was employed as a writer and editor by the "National Geographic Magazine." He made his home in New York City before 1944 and in Washington, D.C. after that. He also had a home in Morgan County, West Virginia, after 1965, a place he loved and visited as often as he could. He was married and the father of one son and three daughters. His books include "The Silver Crown, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH," which won the Newbery Award, and "A Report From Group 17." His last book, "Z is for Zachariah" was nearly completed at the time of his death; the last few chapters were written from notes by this wife and one of his daughters.

Don't Be Succinct; Bloviate About Context Clues
Grade(s): 7 and up
No matter what a student's reading or vocabulary level is, context clues are a great way to help decipher and understand the meaning of new or unusual words. Here are four types of context clues that can help your students comprehend new vocabulary with aplomb.
Students will:
Recognize different types of context clues for determining the meaning of an unknown word
Write sentences using context clues as a means to clarify the meaning of an unknown word
IRA/NCTE Standards for the English Language Arts
Standard 3: Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
Materials Needed
· WordTeasers: College Prep
Getting Started: Ask students if they know what the word prevaricate means? Acknowledge those students who indicate that they know the definition. Then say, "For those of you who don't know what the word means, I'm going to use it in a sentence." Ask: "Is there ever a good reason to prevaricate?" Then say, "How many of you now think you know the meaning of prevaricate?" Acknowledge those students. Finally, tell students that you are going to use the word in a different sentence that may give students a clue to the definition of prevaricate. Ask: "Is there ever a good reason to prevaricate rather than to tell the truth?" Ask how many think they now know the definition of prevaricate. Why? Discuss with students why this last question helped them understand the definition of prevaricate. (They were able to infer from the context of the sentence that to prevaricate is the opposite of to tell the truth.)
Development: Tell students that one way to understand new words in a sentence or a passage in their reading is to look for context clues. Explain that there are many different types of context clues. Write the following four types of context clues on the board along with the pair of sentences that illustrates each context clue. Discuss each pair of sentences with the class.
· Linked Synonyms—an unknown word is linked with similar words or synonyms in a series.
Sentence Sample: Name a food you abhor.
Linked Synonyms: Name a food you hate, detest, and abhor.
· Appositive — a phrase that provides additional information or a definition about a preceding noun.
Sentence Sample: Argue for or against a meritocracy.
Appositive: Argue for or against a meritocracy, a system in which people are rewarded based on talent or
· Compare/Contrast — an antonym or phrase with an opposite meaning to an unknown word that is used to
Sentence Sample: Name something that makes you feel timorous.
Appositive: Name something that makes you feel timorous, rather than confident.
· Cause/Effect — the cause for or result of an unknown word enables the meaning of the unknown word to be
Sentence Sample: Who would you like to emulate?
Cause/Effect: Because the student admired her coach, she wanted to emulate her.
Activity: Prepare the following handout, which includes five statements and questions adapted from the WordTeasers: College Prep Challenge Cards. Each statement or question includes a context clue to the meaning of the word in bold. Have students write a definition for each word in bold. Then, have them identify which of the four types of context clues is used to help clarify the word's meaning.
1. If you could give up an onerous or difficult task, what would it be? (Type of Context Clue: Linked Synonyms)
2. Name someone in your class who is so frugal they won't even spend a nickel for a soda.
(Type of Context Clue: Cause/Effect)
3. What time of day are you most lethargic as opposed to energetic? (Type of Context Clue: Compare/Contrast)
4. Name your biggest proponent, such as a parent, older sibling, or teacher. (Type of Context Clue: Apposition)
5. Show how you would act in a gregarious, friendly, and outgoing manner to a new student. (Context Clue: Linked Synonyms)
Extension 1: Have each student select a WordTeaser Challenge Card from the box. Allow time for students to revise or rewrite the challenge question or statement on the card, using one of the four types of context clues to help clarify the meaning of the word in bold. Then allow time for students to read aloud their original and their revised WordTeaser question or statement. Discuss how the context clue helps clarify the meaning of the word.
Extension 2: Challenge students to write a sentence with a nonsense word, but with enough context clues to reveal the meaning of the nonsense word. Allow time for students to read their sentences aloud and challenge other students to guess the meaning of their nonsense words. For example: Jose was synerambulent about a 9:00 pm. curfew for teenagers, rather than firm in his opinion. (Meaning: ambivalent; indecisive; having two opposing opinions; Context Clue: Compare/contrast.)

Nifty thing about the Bioshock games is you can change the difficulty at any time, and then just turn it back up once you get past the hard part.

Chocolate Donuts with Cacao Nibs and Coconut
Happy Friday, people! Let's all make plans to make donuts tomorrow, whaddaya think?
What, no chocolate?! I know, it seems like a no-brainer. But I decided not to do chocolate this time. You can always add it.
Part of the reason I opted for no-choc was just because these are for breakfast, and despite the fact that we sometimes make banana chocolate pancakes and/or chocolate sticky buns doesn't mean sometimes I don't like it to be a little less sweet! Don't worry, there will be much more pumpkin to come. And I'll have chocolate sometimes.
These pumpkins follow the basic rules for the muffin method! Here's what you need:
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 can 100% pure pumpkin
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup 2 percent or higher Greek yogurt
Preheat your oven to 400.
In one bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices with a fork. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, oil and yogurt until they are well-mixed.
In as few strokes as you can, fold the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until it is entirely worked in. Spray or grease a muffin tin and scoop the batter in – it should make exactly 12 muffins. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick, chopstick, whathaveyou comes out clean.
This recipe is adapted from another I found here. I like to use my own collection of spices instead of using "Pumpkin Pie Spice," which is just a combination of 3 or 4 things you might already have! Loved the use of the Greek yogurt.
Oh, I'm totally making these next. I really prefer dense muffins, so the combination of the pumpkin and the yogurt sounds amazing. Do you think I can get away with using 1% Greek yogurt?

. Lea Ann has been an Educator for 29 years now.
She started in Powerlifting in 1987 at the suggestion of her husband and coach. Lea Ann has battled scolosis since age 22. We thought heavy weight training would help arrest the condition by strengthening her spinal column and back in general. The effects of training showed promise fairly quick. When Lea Ann started she was 4'11'' and weighed a hefty 150+. The Scoliosis and 1 leg being an inch shorter than other made her inactive. She often dealt with a hip that would pop out of the socket on her short leg with no advance warning.Leaving her in constant pain. Powerlifting changed all that. As her lifts grew her health issues were minimized. Her 1st meet had her doing a 200 squat 80 bench and 235 Deadlift. in 132 weight class. that was 6 months from her start of training in 1987. 1988 saw her climb to a USPF masters Classification total of 675 total in the 123 weight class.1989 Saw her qualify for USPF Elite Clasification Total. 330 squat 121 bench 330 deadlift 782 total.We have always believed in Drug free lifting so we moved to the ADFPA in 1991. I 'm lucky in that. I got to know Brother Bennett thru phone conservations.He will always be remembered as a Man among men in my book.I think of Pete Alaniz the president of Titan suits the same way.He started supporting Lea Ann as a sponsored athlete in about 1989.In 1992 Lea Ann competed at her 1st ADFPA Nationals. She Squatted 347 Bench 143 and Deadlifted 402 .887 total .The deadlift record at that time was 369 she raised it by 33 lbs. 15 kg that day. Not bad considering she has one active erector muscle in her back because of the spinal curvature from Scoliosis. Lea ann won the nationals at 55.5 kg .setting records in Deadlift and total. She went to the Worlds in Derbyshire England mainly because Pete Alaniz helped us with Airline costs to get there. Thanks Pete. you were always there for us.Lea Ann won the worlds with 870 total and 3rd place best lifter trophy women. In 1993 we went to New york for 1993 ADFPA Womens Nationals. Lea Anns lifts were. 352 Squat, Missing 363 record on technicality that she started before signal. The rack obstructed her view of refs hand. She raised American Deadlift record to 407 and totaled 903 @ 55.5 kg. She went to 1993 WDFPF worlds in Chiliwack British Columbia.Representing USA in 55.5 kg 122 lbs weight class. her lifts were 352 Squat 159 bench 418 Deadlift .925 total.The Deadlift was a new World and American record. That Record stood from 1993-2013 in ADFPA and USAPL. Lea Anns Best lifts in competition are 374 Squat, has done 405 in training. 205 Bench 440 Deadlift. We can't Thank Pete enough for all the years of support with his wonderful products. Pete Alaniz was and is there for the small unknown lifters.He helped make our Dreams realitys with his sponsorship. Thanks go to the Titan Family for years of support. Thank you. Guy and Lea Ann Adams

What can be better than surprising your tot with a homemade teepee? In this instructable, I'll show you how I made a whimsical teepee using some fabric, 4 dowels, and creativity. Did I mention there is zero sewing involved?
Let's get started!
Step 1: Materials
For this project I used:
2.5 yards of white and gold polka dot cotton fabric
1 yard of polka dot mesh fabric (I used this so that when cut, it would not fray. Did I mention this is a no-sew project??)
4 dowels (I opted for 6 foot long dowels found in the molding department of lowes, rather than the typical 4 foot dowels so that the entire teepee would have more square footage inside)
6 yards of white 3/4 inch ribbon
2.5 yards of 1/2 inch sisal rope
zip tie (totally optional)
staple gun (with plenty of light duty staples)
hot glue gun (with about 4 long sticks of glue)
tape measure
**I also made a tassel banner that went around the teepee, but I didn't take any pictures of that process.
Step 2: Initial Framing
Stand all of your dowels up and using a zip tie, or loosely fitted rope, tie them all together about 1 foot from the top. Gently begin to twist all four dowels in the same direction around the axis (aka zip tie.) Do this until the bottom portion begins to fan out allowing the entire structure to free stand.
I used a loose zip tie here because I wanted the dowels to still be able to shift slightly as I made final adjustments, more on this next.
Step 3: Establish Equal Spacing
We'll want to get the framing of the teepee as equal as possible, and to do that, I simply measured the distances around each of the dowel "legs". I decided that I was happy with a 34 inch spacing, allowing the structure to stand comfortably on its own, without fear of tipping over or collapsing in on itself.
I had one of these as a kid that I played with all the time! Mine was just plain canvas though, this one is very cute!
