The Storage Team Blog about file services and storage features in Windows and Windows Server.
We've seen numerous questions lately regarding the use of Offline Files against a NAS device. Customers report that Windows XP clients work fine against a particular NAS device but Windows Vista clients do not. The reason for this difference is that Offline Files in Windows Vista relies on file system behaviors that the XP implementation did not utilize, so if those features are not correctly implemented by the server, Vista can encounter problems.
Many NAS devices use Samba to provide Windows file sharing functionality, so the Samba configuration requirements below also apply to them.
The Offline Files team has provided the following tips for enabling Offline Files against a Samba / NAS device:
The Offline Files team has provided the following tips for enabling Offline Files against an EMC server:
Reminder File-level based storage on non-Windows devices is not supported by Microsoft. Only devices that have been qualified by the Windows Hardware Qualification Laboratory under the Server category are supported by Microsoft for file-based storage. While Microsoft can enable this deployment, the support is assumed 100% by the hardware device vendor in the case of non-Windows devices

But could a victory bring about the worst moment of Union Jack's career? Things change forever for Britain's champion in this explosive final issue! Union Jack, Sabra, Arabian Knight and Contessa Valentina Allegra De La Fontaine confront R.A.I.D.'s UMD, a gigantic Dreadnaught robot. Almost defeated, Union Jack and his team recieve aid from a local construction company who strike the dreadnaught with a crane. Union Jack is able to disable the dreadnaught by puncturing its liquid nitrogen tank.

Data flows transition
Data flows transition
This page provides information for health and social care organisations on the current position in relation to legal access to personal confidential data (PCD). A set of related Frequently Asked Questions is available which will be reviewed and updated as this position changes.
Commissioner Access to SUS
Section 251 support for commissioning organisation access to identifiable data in SUS ends at the end of 30 April 2016. A number of organisations obtained approval as part of NHS England's s251 application for this temporary access. These organisations, including CCGs, CSUs and any agents contracted to process data on behalf of such organisations, need to work with their local Registration Agents (RAs) to ensure that business function codes on their smartcards only allow pseudonymised access to SUS from 1 May 2015. There must also be a data sharing agreement in place with the HSCIC to reflect this access.
Where commissioning organisations have achieved Stage 1 ASH accreditation and wish to receive 'weakly pseudonymised' SUS data, they will need to seek this via their choice of Data Services for Commissioners Regional Office (DSCRO) and have the necessary data sharing agreements in place with the HSCIC to facilitate this flow of data. The SUS system does not have the functionality to supply 'weakly pseudonymised' data.
The position with regard to provider access to SUS remains unchanged. Provider organisations may have business functions on their smartcards allowing access to Person Confidential Data (PCD) relating to their own patients. This is also the position for DSCROs, who have a legal basis for use of PCD as part of the HSCIC.
Without a legal basis to access PCD from 1 May 2015, staff from commissioning organisations will therefore, subject to their role, only be allowed to have codes on their smartcards from the following list of business functions which provide pseudonymised data access and nothing else:
B1500: General Access to SUS
B1510: Pseudonymised CDS Extracts
B0162: Aggregate Financial Integrity
B0164: Pseudonymised PbR Extracts
B1813: Pseudonymised PARS (Population Analysis Extracts)
For further details on Business Function codes please refer to the SUS RBAC Assignment Guide under How do I get access to SUS? on the SUS Guidance page.
The HSCIC will be closely monitoring commissioner organisation access to SUS from 1 May 2015. If any organisation is found to be accessing PCD without permission the HSCIC will take appropriate action which may include notifying the Information Commissioner's Office.
If you have any queries please address them to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line: "Commissioner Access to SUS".
1 November 2013: Update on NHS England's current s251 support for commissioning data flows
The Secretary of State for Health, after receiving advice from the Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG), has approved NHS England's application for a continuation of Section 251 support for the transfer of data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) to commissioning organisation Accredited Safe Havens (CAG 2-03(a)/2013) until 30 April 2015.
The scope of the section 251 support has not changed and only covers specific commissioning data flowing from the HSCIC and its Data Services For Commissioning Regional Offices (DSCROs,) to commissioning organisations who have obtained Stage 1 Accredited Safe Haven (ASH) status.
A list of the data flows can be found in the section 251 guidance note (published May 2013) below.
Register of Stage One Accredited Safe Havens.
This section 251 support:
- does not cover the data to flow from providers to Accredited Safe Havens
- does not cover the flow of data from GP surgeries in support of risk stratification
- does not cover invoice checking.
NHS England has made separate submissions to CAG in relation to Invoice Validation and Risk Stratification, the outcome of these will be published here and on NHS England's website as soon as they are known.
We will continue to provide advice and guidance on this issue as it develops.

BackgroundWhen crisp air turns foul, and hideous beasts creep forth to dine on the flesh of innocents, a call will go forth. A call for brave adventurers skilled enough to protect the weak and...cowardly. And when the pale moon runs crimson, and blackness devours the land with a thick fog of death, the call will turn to a howl - a plaintive, pleading shriek. In that desperate moment, the students of Crostini Academy of Adventuring Arts stand ready to quell the darkness with staff and blade.
Game PlayChoose from 10 races and 18 classes to build a party, then
dive into dozens of locations with over 100 death-dealing Labyrinth maps crawling with over 250 monsters. Collect artifacts, conquer adversity, explore inter-dimensional travel, cheat death, then get back to campus to collect the "A" on your final!
The enhanced portable version of Class of Heroes 2 is a charming take on the Wizardry-style dungeon crawl games, but with a twist – all the party members are drawn from a pool of newly enrolled students at a Sword and Sorcery School. The game features 18 unique classes to choose from including: Fighter, Swordsman, Ranger, Monk, Ninja, Sorcerer, Puppeteer, Idol, and even a mystery class. Once a team is created, quests are offered and the party can choose their adventure path, unlocking ever more distant and dangerous areas to conquer as they grow in power and confidence. Monster parties can be more than one level deep in a single combat episode, leading to epic encounters of up to 12 or more monsters at a time, where managing a party's ranged and melee skills can be the difference between victorious life and an ignominious death. No dungeon crawler would be complete without an occasional boss, and Class of Heroes 2 doesn't disappoint here, either, with nail-biting super-encounters littered on the path between your party and ultimate victory.
FeaturesClass of Heroes 2 will feature numerous hours of strategic gameplay making the fine-tuned J-RPG a deep experience with rich replay value. The portable title will also please fans of dungeon crawlers with plenty of addicting J-RPG content:
● 96 challenging quests
● 125+ dungeon maps
● 10 Races
● 18 unique classes
● Hundreds of equipment and skill combinations for beefing up soon-to-be hero students

Stylish gas cooking with Zanussi. This cooker is designed to make your life easy. Cleaning will be an absolute doddle with the catalytic liners on three walls of the oven cavity.

If you want quick, convenient cooking on your hob, this model has a Pureflame gas burner, which means the base of your pan will heat up straight away, cutting your cooking time and giving you more time to enjoy your food!

"I am pleased with this cooker as it does what I expected of it. The controls are a little difficult to see (needs more obvious pointer).
Only used the top oven and the hob and found the top oven takes at least ten minutes to get to the correct heat.
Otherwise nice neat looking cooker and easy to use"

This Zanussi is built with your family's needs in mind and is packed with features that are going to bring enjoyment back into your cooking experience. If you are safety conscious, or have little ones pattering around in the kitchen, you'll be reassured by the double glazed door. It's cooler to the touch when the oven is on and keeps the heat securely within the oven cavity, so there's also much less waste.
The clever Pureflame burners help to save you money by controlling the direction of the flame. Conventional hobs push heat outwards around the pan's base and heat gets lost. Zanussi's Pureflame burners deliver vertical flames directly to the pan. This means they will heat faster, use less gas and save you money!
The oven itself is Multi-Zone, which means it's cooler at the bottom than at the top. This is perfect to cook your Sunday dinner, letting those roast potatoes become lovely and crispy, whilst still cooking the rest of the food. This is also great for browning the top of that lasagnel. Delicious!
With the ZCG63200WA, having enough room to cook for friends and family will no longer be an issue, as there is a huge 79 litres of space. This is 25% bigger than a standard sized oven, and you can actually fit a 20kg turkey inside for that Christmas feast. That's one big bird!

40 year old woman | Sacramento, CA, USA | Seeking men 36-47 within 20 miles
I am a happy girl looking for love, and hopefully not in the wrong place or places.
I am not a materialistic girl and I do not think I am clingy. I am energetic and most people say I never stop smiling. Of course that is not all true, but I do smile alot. I just really enjoy being around people. I do not mind crowded places, but I do enjoy my quiet time. I have a big heart, but part of it is missing because no man has filled it with love and joy. I hope my match will have some similar interests that I have, but have different ones, so that I can learn and experience new things and adventures. Overall I am not looking for a man to buy me expensive cars, diamonds, clothes, etc. (If you want to buy me a car then feel free to buy me a Honda Civic.) I am looking for a man who can just love me for who I am and who will go out of there way for me. Please no games.Please mean what you say.Lies are never needed or wanted.The both of us deserve respect.At least I think I do.HMMM.LOL.

The UpTake: Nest Labs founder Tony Fadell has a career of experience helping the take-off of his line of smart home gadgets. Now with a rumored $150M in new funding, we take a look back at his career and a look forward at what the future holds for his Palo Alto startup.
As reports abound today that Nest Labs has raised a new funding round at a $2 billion valuation, it seems only fair that we bestow upon founder Tony Fadell an addendum to his famous title. From here on, we suggest he be called "the godfather of iPod... and Nest."
Nest's smart "learning" thermostat, launched two years after Fadell resigned from his executive iPod and special projects management role at Apple in 2009, could have seemed like a blip at the time. How many people would spend $250 on a device that automated something as un-exciting as a thermostat?
But Fadell and partner Matt Rogers proved on trend with movements toward home automation, energy efficiency and a connected world. He told Forbes in December that the smartphone-controlled thermostats are now being used in nearly 1 percent (or about 1.1 million) of U.S. homes. And that was two weeks after sales of Nest's second product, the Nest Protect smoke and carbon dioxide detector, kicked off with tens of thousands of pre-orders. He shared with the New York Times in November that he could name at least 10 other things in the home that could be made smarter and more efficient (and that haven't been innovated by traditional players), at least one of which could be funded by the $150 million round reported by Re/code.
So where did all this sense about devices and startups begin for the man? Turns out, it was long before the iPod and the Nest.
As an undergraduate computer engineering student at the University of Michigan in the late 80s, Fadell co-founded with a professor his first software company called Constructive Instruments, allowing kids to do multimedia composition. After graduation, he was snapped up by an Apple spinoff company called General Magic, helping to develop two personal digital assistants, the Sony Magic Link and Motorola Envoy, using its software.
His experience building PDAs led him to the electronics manufacturer Philips, where he created its mobile computing division and helped to launch its Velo and Nino PDAs. Eventually, he oversaw its venture portfolio and developed its digital audio strategy.
It was mobile audio that inspired his second startup. Called Fuse, its goal was to become the 'Dell of the Consumer Electronics,' beginning with a digital music player. Though he failed to raise a second round of funding, Steve Jobs was interested in the concept. According to an article in The Economist last year, the Apple CEO brought Fadell aboard in 2001 to lead the team that would eventually create the iPod. He oversaw 18 generations of that device, and the first three versions of the iPhone before personality clashes at Apple led to his departure.
But as he and Rogers developed Nest—a startup idea drawn from Fadell's insights building a Lake Tahoe home in the mid-2000s—they borrowed from Apple the principles of sleek design, simple user interface, end-to-end customer service, frequent upgrades and annual new product releases. They're already out with a second generation thermostat, for example, and we'll anxiously await more smart Nest objects.
So, "godfather of iPod and Nest" it is. And last year's The Economist interview suggests he'd welcome that title. He told the magazine he doesn't want the iPod to be "his defining thing."

Product description
Chuck Feeney was born in New Jersey to an Irish-American family struggling to make their way in the fiercest years of the Depression. In 1997 he called Judith Miller of the "New York Times" to correct a widely reported fact. He was not, as Forbes and others alleged, one of the 400 richest Americans. He was worth a relatively modest $2 million. He had been a billionaire however, but since 1984 he'd been quietly giving his money away, without fanfare or recognition. Now, in 1997, he was determined to wrap up his philanthropic efforts before he died. But that meant having to get rid of $3.5 billion, because the fund that he had endowed was one of the richest and most secretive of all the great philanthropic trusts: Chuck Feeney was the money and brains behind the Atlantic Foundation.This authorized but not approved biography of one of the world's richest and most secretive donors tells the story of how Chuck Feeney made his millions - buying and selling in post second world war Europe and Asia - and how he spent them, giving to causes around the world as various as hospitals in Vietnam and, controversially, Sinn Fein. More than a story of an extraordinarily gifted and fortunate entrepreneur, it's the tale of what happens to a man and his family when confronted with wealth beyond imagining, and how Feeney could come to make the decision to get rid of almost all of it. It isn't easy to give away $3.5 billion in good conscience. That much money requires a lot of due diligence; and money has the habit of attracting money. As fast as Chuck Feeney tried to deplete the foundation he found its funds were growing through its investments.At the time of writing the Atlantic Foundation remains one of the wealthiest and most secretive, and Chuck Feeney is as busy today as he was a decade ago trying to give the money away.

DACULA -- Researchers have determined that a toxic algae bloom was to blame in the death of four cows on a local cattle farmer's property, and the deadly muck was found in at least one other pond less than 10 miles from the site.
Toxicologists said all livestock breeders should be vigilant about any pond water that appears discolored or opaque.
"Pond owners should be mindful of the risks associated with toxic algae and take proper management steps to prevent or lessen the formation of an algae bloom," said Rebecca Haynie, a toxicologist with the UGA Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. "However, there are numerous species of common algae in the Southeast that are capable of producing toxin. Just because you have a bloom doesn't mean you have something toxic in the water."
Haynie and associates were studying pond water on the cattle farm of Dacula resident Bill Atkinson, where a blue-green algae called cyanobacterium killed four cows. Researchers took water and fish samples from the pond and treated it with algicide to alleviate the bloom.
According to researchers, warmer-than-average temperatures and drought led to increased water clarity and an influx of nutrients from the surrounding pasture, which created "the perfect storm of conditions" for an algae bloom.
Researchers said color changes in a pond can be a clue to farmers or pond owners that a bloom has occurred. Bright green water or water with a pea soup-like surface scum should be avoided, and special care should be taken to keep pets and children away.
Atkinson said that was his chief worry. "My concern is these kids that are out fishing on nearby ponds and lakes," Atkinson said. "If they're fishing in a pond with this kind of algae and the fish have been infected by it, I'm hoping it doesn't hurt the kids."
Pond owners who think they might have a toxic algae bloom can purchase algicide products from feed supply stores, Haynie said. Those who purchase the products, however, should pay close attention to the labeling because copper-based algicides can kill fish and other wildlife.
To prevent blooms, pond owners can leave vegetated buffers around the pond, limit livestock access and avoid over-fertilizing the surrounding areas.
Atkinson, the Dacula cattle farmer, has completely fenced his cattle off from the pond and is pumping water to a trough to remedy the situation.
Atkinson said he has let his cattle graze in the pasture near the pond and drink the water in it for more than 40 years without any problem until last month, when his first heifer died, followed by the death of three other cows throughout May and early June.
The Dacula man estimates that he's lost close to $40,000 in beef cattle.
Atkinson contacted Lawton Stewart, a cooperative extension animal scientist with UGA.
"These toxins can be fatal if ingested in high quantities," Stewart said. "Diagnosis may be difficult because the symptoms may easily be mistaken for other disorders more commonly observed in cattle, so a thorough evaluation of the farm is essential to rule out other causes."
Lee Jones, with the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine, said he has received other recent reports of livestock found dead near shallow ponds. Algae blooms are the suspected cause. Jones said toxin levels may vary, and toxicity depends on the amount of water ingested.
There are three types of toxins: neural, liver and a skin toxin that can cause a severe rash and itch.
The liver toxins suspected of killing Atkinson's cows, "usually do not cause sudden death," Jones said. "Sometimes the animal may have colic symptoms like abdominal cramps, excessive drooling, loss of appetite and lethargy."
Jones recommended that pond owners contact their veterinarian if they suspect pets or livestock have ingested toxic water.
For more information, pond owners can contact email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. Other questions can be directed to the Gwinnett County Extension Office at 678 377-4010, or by visiting www.caes.uga.edu/extension/gwinnett.

moreThis volume addresses the need for a more considered and systematic approach to teacher education and training in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), in all its forms: Technology Enhanced Language Learning, Network-Based Language Learning, Information and Communication Technologies for Language Learning and so on. The 20 chapters of the book are divided into five parts: (1) foundations of teacher education in CALL; (2) CALL degree programs; (3) CALL pre-service courses; (4) CALL in-service projects, courses, and workshops; (5) alternatives to formal CALL training. The chapters cover a broad range of levels, environments, countries, and languages. Rather than simply offering inspired speculation, the chapters provide practical information to readers, reporting on what has actually been done in a wide variety of teacher education programs and courses around the world. In many cases, the chapters describe how programs and courses have evolved, and include either qualitative or quantitative research, or both, to inform the structure of CALL courses, tasks and activities. less

Green goddess dressing was created in the early 1920s at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco for an event honoring actor George Arliss, who starred in the hit play The Green Goddess. With loads of grassy fresh herbs and a tang from the sour cream and lemon juice, this creamy dressing is delicious over butter lettuces, folded into chicken salad, served as a dip, or drizzled on fish. Unlike modern versions, the traditional dressing does not contain avocado.
Game plan: Store-bought mayonnaise is fine for this recipe, or you could make your own.
Composed but not fussy and dressed with a sherry vinegar and Dijon mustard vinaigrette.
Chewy, cakey, fudgy, and not too sweet.
When your standby Dijon-and-vinegar dressing gets old.

'Sailor Moon Crystal' Is 75% Eyes, 100% Awesome [Review]
I'm not even close to kidding when I say that one of the most exciting things about life in 2014 is that we're experiencing an amazing renaissance of Sailor Moon. Not only has the manga been reissued in its entirety from Kodansha, and not only is the classic series being released uncut with two episodes every Monday on Hulu, but Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal, a new series based on Naoko Takeuchi's original series, made its worldwide premiere last weekend.
This is, for someone who loves Sailor Moon as much as I do, a pretty big deal, and Crystal's first episode lived up to the hype by being an absolutely gorgeous new version of Usagi's first outing as Sailor Moon. The thing is, Crystal was designed to be a far more strict adaptation of the source material, and while it definitely succeeds on that front, that's also its biggest problem.

Elusive 1803 Extra Star Eagle, BD-5, AU581803 $10 Extra Star AU58 NGC. Breen-6845, Taraszka-30, BD-5, High R.4. A faint outline of the small "extra" star is seen in the last cloud on the reverse. Only one obverse die was used to strike all 1803 eagles, but six reverse dies are known: four with small reverse stars, and two (BD-5 and BD-6) with large reverse stars. This piece is Bass-Dannreuther die state g/b, as evidenced by the die crack on the reverse from the rim to the center of the right wing, a die line (possibly clashing) in the right wing, and a clash mark below the third cloud.
Charming yellow-gold patina coats the lightly abraded surfaces of this near-Mint State example. Liberty's hair is a touch soft, but the reverse is sharply defined. Flashy luster adds to the aesthetic appeal. John Dannreuther (2006) estimates that 90 to 110 examples of this variety are known, but our experience suggests that the number of survivors is even lower. (PCGS# 88565)

Linda Lomahaftewa's works are about knowledge and memory, the knowledge of the Hopi way and the persistence of individual and communal memory. Lomahaftewa intuitively draws on ancient sources to create her art, and combines contemporary processes and techniques with these sources to make her prints, paintings, and monotypes. She has written that her "imagery comes from being Hopi and remembering shapes and colors from ceremonies and from landscape. I associate a special power and respect, a sacredness, with these colors and shapes, and this carries over into my work." 1
Lomahaftewa's art has not been static over the two decades or more that she's been an active artist. For example, Lloyd Oxendine, referring to Snake and Animal Symbols ( 1970), wrote: "Miss Lomahaftewa's art reduces natural forms to elements of design; to these she adds her own conformations in bold colors and organically unlikely juxtapositions." 2 This design orientation was maintained in the 1978 New Mexico Sunset: "The complex overlaying of designs and colors are reminiscent of patchwork quilts." 3
But throughout the 1980s Lomahaftewa has drawn more on Hopi imagery and on personal memory. The Cloud Maiden series, ongoing

An ankle injury that is taking longer than expected to heal will likely cause Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony to miss his third-straight game tonight against Oklahoma City.
Nuggets coach George Karl put grim odds on Anthony's availability after seeing the star player practice during this morning's shootaround.
"My gut says he probably won't go tonight," Karl said. "I'm not saying he probably won't try, but after the shootaround today I'd say he's 60-40 not going (to play)."
If Anthony does not play, he'll miss his third-straight game because of a sprained left ankle. Asked after the Houston game whether he'd be ready to go, Anthony was cautious, saying "We'll see."
Joey Graham is the likely starter in Anthony's place. He's averaged 10.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in the Nuggets' last two games. The Nuggets are 5-2 this season with Anthony out of the lineup.

Note, this is 10-speed 105. Should I have used one of the little dinky spacers that were on the Aksium rear wheel? It looked they would have made the cassette not fit on the Orion wheel. Or is it simply a matter of putting the bike on the workstand and adjusting the shifting? TIA.

New York, NY- On this Friday night SmackDown we continue to see 'Acting' General Manager Vickie 'Excuse Me' Guerrero stack the deck against World's Heavyweight Champion Edge; in attempt to get 'boyfriend' Dolph Ziggler the strap before the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
Before we get to how the new power couple on the blue brand tried to outwit the Ultimate Opportunist, we start the show with a pleasant surprise the return of one Booker T. As the master of the spin-a-roonie came out to join the play-by-play announcing team instead of wrestling. Here is hoping though that we can see Booker in action sometime soon.
Now back to our resident Blue brand couple as Guerrero comes out with Ziggler to call out the dual named Diva Kelly Kelly. Cue a very well cut promo by Vickie blaming the blond for Ziggler not holding the strap. Then we have a very well cut and fired up promo by Kelly Kelly saying how she is tired of Vickie and her evil ways.
Dolph Ziggler cuts in and says that we no longer have need of the blond diva in the ring anymore, before the smack heard round the world was unleashed by Kelly Kelly. That smack would cue in both Laycool and Edge to build up anticipation for the nights three-on-two mixed-tag main event.
Then the WWE Creative decides to give 'The Corre' Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel a victory over Tag Team Champions Santino Marella and Victor Kozlov. All things considering WWE Creative didn't Santino and Victor just pick up a victory on Monday night against your other version of the Nexus. I mean really, I think the members of the WWE Universe would have liked to have seen the young-do of Husky Harris and Mike McGillicutty get the victory.
As always though the members of the WWE creative wishes to create momentum for the blue brand of the Nexus and considering that Gabriel and Slater held the tag team straps at one point in time, I would expect for the duo to be future champs sometime in the future. Either that or the WWE Creative can continue this feud somehow at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view with Harris/McGillicutty, Gabriel/Slater and the champs for a shot at the strap. Remember folks if it happens you heard it here first.
SmackDown then starts the portion of the programming where we figure out the main event of the up-and-coming pay-per view. This first match was for sure a surprise, but the result was a good one for 'The Chosen One' as Drew McIntyre picked up a victory over Kofi Kingston. In what was a great back-and-forth affair between the two superstars, with the only spoiler being a distraction from WWE's hottest heel Alberto Del Rio.
The Mexican Aristocrat would come on to the big screen and flash Kingston a wink, before 'The Chosen One" finished the match off with the future shock DDT for the victory. Understandable how WWE Creative could have this interference as we would see later on a feud between Kingston and Del Rio brewing. This would also start to regain heel points for McIntyre which was needed, while also adding to the already growing heel status of Del Rio. But you-you already knew that.
In the middle of all the commercial breaks we would see this promo plugging a mysterious Superstar that is to come to the WWE on 2/21/11. Most buzz around the internet is saying that Sting is on his way to join the roster right in time for WrestleMania, a lot of people feel though that this is another way to plug the Undertaker's return. Stay tuned to see what happens with this incoming roster member.
Rey Mysterio def Jack Swagger to become the second qualifier of the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view: Both men got to show off their move sets, especially Swagger staring to show off a very aggressive wear-down to get a submission skill set. In what had to be the move of the night Swagger would apply an ankle lock to 'Master of the 6-1-9' right on the second rope.
In the end the 'Ultimate underdog' rolled up the 'All-American-American' for the 1-2-3 victory. Personally it would have been nice to see Swagger have another crack at the heavyweight strap, but maybe a good feud will be in the future for the young lion.
We now go backstage where we find the 'Rated-R Superstar' Edge starting to doubt Kelly Kelly and her ability to defeat the Diva duo of Laycool. The normally quiet Diva was all fired up at Edge saying how she has been underestimated for too long storming away into another commercial break.
By the way I thought the whole storyline with Kelly Kelly was supposed to be her and Drew McIntyre, what is the matter WWE Creative reading too many of my blogs as of late and wanting to try to change things up on me. I'm on to you now :evil laugh mode on:.
Back to the show where we cue in the very unlikely duo of Rosa Mendes and Hornswoggle tossing out t-shirts to the members of the WWE Universe. Just when we thought it would be a nice fluff piece and a break in the action cue in the WWE's hottest heel in Alberto Del Rio.
The Mexican Aristocrat would torment Hornswoggle in true heel fashion before getting whacked in the knees by the piñata stick. For that act Hornswoggle got a kick to the face from Del Rio adding to the heel legacy that the Mexican Aristocrat is building for himself. Before a beat down ensues Kofi Kingston comes out to begin a feud between these two young lions. Cue in the traditional heel beat down by Del Rio and the eventual application of the cross-arm breaker submission move as referees came in to stop WWE's hottest heel.
A feud between Del Rio and Kingston would make for a very interesting and exciting matches, which should keep the heel fresh until the feud between Ziggler and Edge is completed. It is also nice to see Kingston get into a feud that is worthy of his time and talent that is if WWE Creative does it the right way.
Kane def Chavo Guerrero to become the third man to qualify for the Elimination chamber match. The 'Big Red Monster' caught Chavo in the middle of the frog splash got the choke slam for the 1-2-3 victory for Kane. This was sort of a ho-hum bout for the WWE Universe, these two superstars could have built up some steam before the victory but thus the show must go on.
Count down to Mania is on and I know everyone is excited for the big pay-per-view which is being held in Atlanta, Georgia this year.
Final qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber as 'Corre' leader Wade Barrett picks up a victory over the Big Show. In the beginning of the bout it was a one-on-one match between the two Superstars, but we could not end the night without the traditional beat down of the face in WWE.
This beat down however would be an interesting one as Ezekiel Jackson would come out and power slam 'The Worlds Largest Athlete' in an impressive display of power, to assist his leader in the victory while also qualifying him for the final spot. Here is hoping that WWE Creative is reading this because a one-on-one feud between Jackson and Big Show would be awesome.
Now we get to the Main Event bout in which the cards were very much stacked against the reigning champion Edge. In a 'supposed' historical three-on-two mixed tag team bout in which featured a stipulation of if either member of Laycool got a victory over the dual named Kelly Kelly the heavyweight strap would be awarded to Dolph Ziggler.
Oh yeah to make matters worse for the 'Rated-R Superstar' he would not be allowed to pull out his fishing move 'The Spear' without being stripped of the title. This does not look good for the 10-time champion.
As Ziggler and Edge would start the match it would not take long before the Divas go at it. This was the point in time to see if Kelly Kelly can hold her own against a very good Laycool duo. On this night we would see a new aggressive side from the normally bubbly Kelly Kelly, but it would not take long before the heels started to take offensive momentum of the match. In what was the shocker of the night though Edge and Kelly Kelly would pick up a victory as the dual named diva would spear Layla right out of the ring.
Before the duo of Kelly Kelly and Edge can celebrate Acting General Manager Vickie Guerrero comes in and fires the blond diva before turning to her former 'husband' Edge and stacking the cards even more against the current champ.
The evil Guerrero would announce a rematch for Edge and Ziggler next week and this time there will be a special referee, cue in the evil cackle before Guerrero proclaimed that she would ref the match in truly stacking the deck against the 'Ultimate Opportunist'. Before Edge could even have a chance to respond, in comes Ziggler who would Zig-Zag his foe into the mat as the new SmackDown power couple celebrated before going off the air.
It should be interesting to see where the members of the WWE Creative will take us with the two brands as we build up to the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Will we see new feuds being born, where will all these incoming Superstars wind up? All these answers and more to come in the following weeks, all in the buildup and anticipation of one thing WrestleMania!!

If you want to avoid dairy or if you go dairy-free because you suffer from an allergy or intolerance, the GOVeggie! cream cheese alternative to cheese is an excellent option. Use it as a spread on bread and on crackers, make non-cheese dips and even better try the following, seasonal recipe for the holiday season.
Cream Cheese Pumpkin Spice Cookies
makes 16 cookies
• ¼ cup non-hydrogenated vegan butter
• ½ cup organic evaporated cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup GO Veggie! Classic Plain Cream Cheese

• ½ teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon finely grated nutmeg
• ¾ cup organic all-purpose un-bleached flour
• ¼ cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
• ½ cup GO Veggie! Classic Plain Cream Cheese, for topping
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350°
Step 2:
Cream together vegan butter and sugar, until smooth, either in a standing mixer or mix by hand using a pastry whisk. Add vanilla extract, cream cheese alternative, pumpkin, and maple syrup and blend until smooth. Add sea salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Mix until ingredients are uniform, about 1 minute.
Step 3:
Add flours. Whisk until mixture is uniform. The dough should be soft and pliable.
Step 4:
Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Step 5:
Scoop cookie mixture, using a tablespoon-sized ice cream scoop on to cookie sheet. Spread out about an inch apart.
Step 6:
Bake for about 24 minutes, rotating once.
Step 7:
Let the cookies cool on a cookie sheet for about 7-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 8:
For presentation, place ½ cup GO Veggie! Classic Plain Cream Cheese in a piping bag with a star tip. Create a small cream cheese swirl on each cookie before serving.

The A-series cameras marry Phase One's digital sensors with Alpa's lenses. It's a new-era approach to an old-school photography technique.
As the name implies, here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
Could this be your first Leica? The coveted camera brand delivers style and substance in collaboration with Audi Design.
A compact alternative to a dSLR, the OM-D E-M10 is a good camera to grow into.
The fixed-lens RX10 II and RX100 IV use a unique 1-inch stacked image sensor for 40x superslow-motion capture, 4K video shooting; A7R II mirrorless interchangeable lens camera has world's first back-illuminated 35mm full-frame sensor.
If the device comes with a mirrorless design, users would be able to swap out lenses.
Mirrorless Samsung NX1 takes on dSLRs for action photography.
High-end lenses are a notch more attainable for Canon SLR users. Some lens prices were cut again after Canon trimmed prices last September.
Faster autofocus and Wi-Fi networking help make Canon's high-end compact camera more competitive. So far it's only announced in China and Japan, though.
Canon's second-generation mirrorless compact camera has a faster autofocus and is Wi-Fi compatible. Here's a look at the camera.

Or how to ride 14.5 K miles in 5-6 weeks.
Well here I go for my first ride report. The trip I took this summer brought me from Key Largo,Fl to Prudhoe Bay, AK via Paonia Colorado to Sipapu, NM
(for West Fest) , back to Ft. Lauderdale where my folks live.
It all started on June 25th when I took off from Ft. Lauderdale after spending the night with my folks. It is always nice to have a small jumpstart specially when the weather is hot and humid. The first travel day, for me at least, is always one in which to find my way around the ride. That is, getting into the comfort zone. The destination for me this trip, was Prudhoe Bay as it seems to be one of those 'must' do things when riding a bike. However I was determined to get there only if the conditions warranted a safe trip as I leave the gung-ho stuff for others.
I slabbed the Turnpike after leaving home at 8:30 AM as to avoid the moron cagers S.FL is so famous for. After all Miami has the dubious honor of being voted the worst city in the USA 2 years in a row......
A pic of my steed and me prior to riding of into adventure.
Before the questions about the knobbies tied on the back begin, I have not regretted bringing them with me as an unexpected tire failure in AK or Yukon will wreck your trip. More on that later...as two other riders found out the costly way...
What can be said about slabbing some of the most boring road in Fl other than getting rest here and there to let your personal Final Drive cool off some??
Well so much for cooling off as you get north, as in Tifton, GA the mercury rose to 102F before welcome rain cooled off the air to a more bearable 80 F.
Camping was going to be out untill the temps got better and so in Opelika, AL I sought a motel room with AC. The owner was nice enough that I was allowed to park on the grass in front of my room.
I don't know why, but it seems my gear finds it's way all over my motel room as I offload my bike.
And thus day one ended with about 600 miles ridden.

Day two and three of this saga were both ridden on more rural roads than just interstate alone. Opelika to West Plains MO on US 63 bring more curves and kept me from dozing off completely. The second day was also about 600 miles and the only pic I have here is of US 280
The bike at this point was running great although I heard the fuelpump more than normal. It was remedied by keeping the fueltank topped up more as IMHO it all had to do with the over the 100 F temps I was riding in.
Luckely I decided to ride with a little cooling necktie to keep my brain from frying. Day 3 brought me from West Plains MO to Grand Island NE or about 610 miles further north.
I decided to play around on some rural roads and the GPS got me lost
Unfortunately there was no place to stop on these small roads as there was no shoulder to pull over on but these roads were worth the experience. US 63to US60 to US14 to route Z in Dogwood were really cool.
In Dogwood a big dog eyed me and wanted to chase. I saw the mutt laying in wait and decided to get ready for him. The Stebel Airhorn ( it failed later in AK with all the dust) blew the dog off track as well as a quick flick of the throttle screwed his timing all up too.
I had a buddy who dumped his bike because of a dog and since I just started my trip I didn't want some mutt to possibly end it there in the middle of (nowhere) MO.
This pic is from Grand Island NE as seen from my room
The goal for day four was Cody WY......

Day four of the trip started in Grand Island NE and I froze my a$$ off. It was 54 F after the previous heatwave days it was a shock to the system. Living in a warm climate (20 years in the FL Keys) makes a person less tolerant to lower temps.
Not only was it 'freezing', but the one hour time change threw me off too.
I ended up Leaving at 4:30 AM local time as my own clock said 5:30..
This was going to be a 'theme' for most of the trip, often bewildering bystanders as I asked for the local time.
Some must have thought that I came from a different planet, this might as well be so, since I am Dutch .
Going on a long trip like this also made me forget what day it was, if it hadn't been for my daily log that I am now using to write this report with.
Anyway, I did ride I-80 untill I hit US 26 in NE into WY than till I-25 N till Casper WY from there to Shoshone, Thermopolis and finally Cody. It was hot in Thermopolis at 104 F but it was 'dry' heat and was therefore much better than the Tifton GA experience with the humidity there. A GPS shot of the road.
Getting closer to Wyoming
Towards Thermopolis and Cody.
I arrived at 4:30 PM at the Ponderosa Campground in Cody, WY after a 718 mile day riding to what was, for me, familiar ground as I had been there in 04 for the 'Unrally' from the sporttouring.com guys on my way to the MOA rally in Spokane WA.
more to come....

Day 5.
All right, I made it to Cody! A few days of R&R as the Buffalo Bill Museum is a MUST see. You miss out on some real history and artifacts if you don't go there. As there are 5 parts to this museum it would take 2 full days to take it all in. This first day however I slept in late had BBQ lunch and bought a book, looked after the bike and met a gentleman from Alaska who was bicycling to Florida from Anchorage. We had to laugh as most people just don't understand the drive we had to undertake a trip like ours.
Later that day I met Jerry and Jonathan from Colorado Springs, who were father and son riding their motorcycles around too.
They decided to pitch their tent in what we all thought was a great spot.
I moved my tent as well into that area. You know that spot that seems soooo cool that you have to be there??? Shade, calm little creek behind the tent etc,???
At first this guy came around as I pitched my tent at 4:30 PM the previous day....
and I was up and running with the gourmet meal for the evening.
Than the move to the "idyllic" spot....
Well after a fitfull ichty night by both Jonathan, Jerry and me, we found out our tents were invaded by tree-mites and we had to move away from what could have been a 'kewl' spot. Oh well, there is something about a fence and green grass......
The sun took care of the unwanted invaders btw.
Back with the regular crowd..
The Rider with the Honda trike had an issue with his fueltank and after describing the symptoms I asked if he still had the charcoal cannister. He did and decided to have it removed asap at the nearest Honda dealer/mechanic.
See guys, BMW's aren't the only bikes with canister issues...
And a overview of the tent area at the Ponderosa campground.
I really like this set up as the steep road keeps traffic to a minimum and it makes for a real quiet area. The deer running around there are kinda tame too and show up from time to time.

So after the previous day's tent 'dance' I did go to the museum and will have lots of pics. The tent saga however wasn't quite over yet though
The entrance to the Museum
Annie Oakley's dress
Buffalo Bills rifle on the bottom as it was found after his passing.
Bill Cody's coat
This Gatling gun was used by GE to prototype the Phalanx guns on among other the Black-hawk chopper a variety of naval vessels etc. The gun stands at over 6 feet tall on its mount
Gary Coopers Gun in "High Noon"
A pair of dueling pistols
A Native American display from the Plains Indians
A stagecoach
A chuck wagon used until 1910!
There is so much to see there that it is overwhelming but totally worth the time.
As promised the tent issue had not quite gone away yet, for when I returned
from my museum trip the whole tent had fallen apart at most of the seams. This was a problem as my trip had just started. I had sent the tent in to get repaired prior to my trip but Mountain Hardwear decided to ignore this. Well long story short I bought a new tent at Sierra Trading Post in town and used the NEMO with inflatable poles for the rest of my trip.
A pic of the old and new tent. The new one is light green.
The old tent ended up where it belongs and I used it's floor and ground cloth for the new one. Now I had a tent that packed smaller and was lighter too.
All in all, quite a day.
More to come.......maybe

July 1st took me out of Cody to Missoula MT, for a 491 mile ride, where the bike was going to get new oil prior to crossing into BC Canada. But before getting there I had to ride a 'little' bit. It was one of those crystal clear, blue sky heavenly days you can only dream about and the road to Missoula led over the Chief Joseph Hwy and Beartooth Pass.
I did not fancy riding through Yellowstone and get stuck behind bluehairs and their breadboxes (RV's) to save a few miles. Besides I had not seen Beartooth after the repairs made necessary by the massive rockslides a few years back.
The KOA campground in Missoula. I adjusted the valves here and changed the oil at the the BMW dealer
A Brit living in Vancouver riding his bike through the US
This day brought me one of those 'Zen' moments for which I counted my lucky stars. I stopped often to just take in the scenery and reflect on how lucky I was just being there. Carpe Diem rings very true.

July 2nd
Awoke at 5:45 AM and adjusted the valves on my bike before my trip to the dealer. After breakfast I rode to BMW in Missoula only 3 miles from the KOA and while the oil was changed I roamed around the showroom for some bike porn
Fortunately I didn't need anything at that time.
Todays ride took me past the Grand Coulee Dam.
The bordercrossing into Canada was easy as pie, as the Canadian customs officer only once asked if I had any weapons on me. I replied with a "no" ,as I didn't have anything anyway. Then he asked why not, and my reply was that I don't need any weapons.
We chatted for a bit and I ended up giving him a business card. Who knows, he may come down to fish with me.
The trip ended that day with 467 miles on the odo, at small motel in Princeton BC. There I found a decent Greek meal and turned in for the night.

Considering the amount of comments on the "New Fall Television" thread, I figured it might be time to start a thread about "Heroes" the Series.
Great episode on Monday night. We find out that Nathan Petrelli can't just fly, but can fly faster than the speed of sound. Matt Parkman can still hear thoughts after his encounter with Claire's father and his henchman. Hiro Nakamura steals every scene he's in and is obviously the most powerful of the upstarts considering the he can bend the space/time continuum. Considering that he felt it important to visit Peter Petrelli in the past, is there something amiss in the future?
We didn't see Simone in the episode, but she may have powers (telekenesis?). Who is Sylar and what powers does he have? Is Peter Petrelli the only one who can take him on considering that Peter's powers mimic anyone he's close to? Is Mohinder Suresh's father really dead? Is Claire's father a bad guy or a good guy?
A lot of questions and not a lot of answers thusfar and that's something that makes the show worth watching weekly. What do you think?

The country's greatest jazz musicians got to where they are by refusing to cut corners, such as auto-tuning their piano or writing out their "improvised" solo on a graphing calculator. Take in some good honest fun with this GrouponLive deal: for $18, you get two all-access tickets to Jazzin' at the Shedd, sponsored by Bank of America (up to a $36 value). Choose one of 11 performances, scheduled Wednesday evenings from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. every week from June 27 to September 5.
Chicago's rich musical heritage bops on every week at Shedd Aquarium's Jazzin' at the Shedd series, as nationally known ensembles, many from the Chicagoland area, fill the summer with cool, hot, smooth, and rocking jams. Kicking off the season with the first of three appearances, Detour JazFunk (June 27, July 18, and August 29) brings a genre-melting improvised show built on a cornerstone of old-school R&B and funk, and Rio Bamba floats vocalist Maggie Vagle's bell-like staccato over classic Brazilian bossa nova and samba (July 4 and September 5). On July 11, Evanston composer and saxophonist Chris Greene, whose fresh, clean sax has backed such hip-hop and R&B superstars as Common and Sheena Easton, will lead his quartet through standards such as "Stompin' at the Savoy" and lesser-known pieces such as "My Foot is Caught in the Savoy's Floor." With an audacious, soaring alto praised by the Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich, the creamy-voiced Agnieszka Iwanska (August 1) performs groovy vocal acrobatics, and Petra van Nuis's (August 15) Billie Holiday–esque croon has been heard all over the city, from the Green Mill to the Chicago Cultural Center.
All tickets include admission to Shedd staples, including the Abbot Oceanarium, Wild Reef, and Waters of the World exhibits. Encounter beluga whales and sea otters at the Abbot Oceanarium, or share a rueful chuckle at the dodo's demise with the penguins at the Polar Play Zone. Crystalline invertebrates lacking blood, bones, and brains sway their tentacles with the languid grace of a lobotomized maestro in the limited-run exhibit Jellies.
Shedd Aquarium
Chicago might be far from any ocean, but that obstacle didn't stop it from pioneering the first permanent inland saltwater aquarium in the country. Thanks to civic leader John G. Shedd's drive and contribution of $3 million paid for nearly a million gallons of seawater transported by rail from Florida's coast, by 1930 the city hosted exhibits large enough to accommodate a wide variety of marine species–sea mammals as well as fish.
Today, Shedd's dream continues to thrive with the aquarium's scores of undersea creatures—from sharks and dolphins to vibrant sea cucumbers—showcased in educational, eye-catching exhibits. The permanent collection spirits visitors from the Great Lakes to the Amazon River to the waters of the Pacific Northwest. The resident critters often share their turf with temporary guests such as sea jellies and stingrays, who fill dramatic special exhibits.
The most exciting animal encounters, however, may come via the year-round aquatic show. Trainers demonstrate the natural behaviors of sea lions, dolphins, and even beluga whales. They have some four-legged company, too: a trio of rescue dogs often appear alongside their finned adoptive family, demonstrating how learning through positive reinforcement transcends boundaries between species.
