DellSharesNew insights and perspectives into Dell and the world of investor relations. http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/atomZimbra Community 220.127.116.11889 (Build: 126.96.36.199889)2014-05-07T13:22:34ZChannel Investments and Updatehttp://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2015/06/29/channel-investments-and-update2015-06-29T16:15:00Z2015-06-29T16:15:00Z
Dell is continuing its focus on the Channel with a $26 million investment in IT improvements. This investment is part of the $125 million channel investment that was previously announced last fall at Dell World.

This investment will improve the online and offline order experience and enable selling through distribution. Included in these improvements are deal price and quote automation, partner order tracking, registration automation, increased services capabilities and improved warranty terms in its ProSupport program. Later in the year, there are also plans to upgrade and expand the "Find-a-Partner" tool that helps locate a Dell Partner near you.

 Dell listens to its partners and customers and we continue to make changes and improvements based on their feedback. In the last year, we rolled out a Deal Registration Mobile App and have heard from partners on how this tool has advanced their productivity and sales efforts to register deals ahead of their competition. We've also heard that the app helps them sell Dell solutions to customers easier due to access to best-selling product information and purchases through a one-click feature. Additional Partner Portal enhancements driven by partner feedback include Solutions Configurator updates and the launch of a Partner Marketing Platform. These initiatives have all been put in place to simplify and improve the partner experience, which in turn, helps our customers.

 With over 40% of Dell's global revenue coming from the channel (up from ~30% pre-LBO), we are focused on using partners to drive share of wallet, particularly in the enterprise space. In Q1 we had a record high in deal registrations with ~90,000 deals registered globally and a record high in rebate payout as it grew +60% Y/Y.

To help continue our excellent growth, we are providing additional discounts, rebates and incentives for our partners through programs which were introduced in Q1. For example, our Greenfield discounts program rewards partners for acquiring new business. With these discounts on Client, Storage, Server and Networking, we were able to close deals with 3,200+ accounts. We also added rebate accelerators for certified partners, which led to 300+ partners earning discounts based on Y/Y sales growth in select product groups.

We believe that our PartnerDirect channel program is differentiated through our comprehensive partner enablement, ease of doing business through simple programs and processes, access to end to end solutions, and partner profitability. Through this differentiation and continued investment, we expect our Channel business to continue to grow.

DELL-Mackenzie Lhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/dell_2d00_mackenzie-lDell's Market Share Momentum Continued in Q4http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2015/03/24/dell-s-market-share-momentum-continued-in-q42015-03-24T16:24:48Z2015-03-24T16:24:48Z
Illustrating the strength of our end to end solutions portfolio, Dell's market share momentum continued in the fourth calendar quarter of 2014 across multiple lines of business. According to data recently released by the industry analyst firm International Data Corporation (IDC), Dell was able to grow faster than the industry in several key areas.

Here is an overview of our market share performance by product line:

Client Solutions

The fourth quarter of 2014 marked the eighth consecutive quarter that Dell's PC business grew faster than the industry. In a consolidating market, Dell grew 8.5 percent year-over-year, gaining +1.5 points of market share, with gains in every region, in both desktops and notebooks, and in both consumer and commercial. We believe our award-winning products, highlighted by our recent success at CES, will enable us to continue this momentum in 2015.

Cloud Client Computing

As the industry leader in enterprise client devices, Dell regained the #1 worldwide ranking in Q4, growing 12.0 percent (vs. overall market decline of -12.5 percent) and expanding our market share by +5.9 points to 27.2 percent.

Mainstream Servers

Dell's success in the mainstream x-86 server market accelerated in Q4 as we were the only major vendor to take both year-over-year and sequential unit share. Dell grew units by 8.6 percent in a market that grew at only 7.0 percent, allowing us to gain +0.3 points of share year-over-year and maintain our #2 worldwide spot with 24.7 percent market share. With our most advanced server line to date, including the 13th generation of PowerEdge servers which continue to be recognized for their performance and system management capabilities, we believe we are well positioned in this accelerating market in 2015.

Storage

During Q4, Dell was the only vendor to grow faster than the industry on a year-over-year basis. Dell grew 6.4 percent, taking +0.2 points of share, the first time we have outgrown the industry in 12 quarters. In addition, during the full year 2014, we held the number one position in total storage capacity shipped including both internal and external storage. We continue to make investments in our storage business, including the recently announced Dell Storage all-flash array, which has the lowest entry price for an all-flash, mid-range storage solution by any major vendor.

Networking

Finally, Dell Networking momentum continued in Q4 with faster-than-market sequential growth and 2.8 percent year-over-year growth. With a market-leading approach around open standards, Dell Networking provides a robust infrastructure to scale our customer's growth.

In 2014, Dell significantly expanded its portfolio of notebooks, desktops, thin clients, servers, storage and networking products, backed by industry-leading support, to deliver our customers the world's most secure, reliable and valued technology solutions. These products and services, paired with Dell's focus on a best-in-class customer experience, translated into a wide range of share gains during the fourth quarter, and set the foundation for continued momentum in the coming year.

Cam_Careyhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/cam_5f00_careyS&P Upgradehttp://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2014/12/19/s-amp-p-upgrade2014-12-19T16:10:00Z2014-12-19T16:10:00Z
On Dec. 4, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) upgraded our Corporate and Debt credit ratings:

Corporate Rating revised from BB- to BB+ (a two-notch upgrade and one notch below investment grade)

Senior Secured debt revised from BB+ to *** (also a two-notch upgrade)

Senior Unsecured debt revised from B+ to BB+ (a three-notch upgrade)

We are pleased with this external acknowledgement that we are making progress in our transformation to become the leading provider of end to end IT solutions, especially given we just passed the one-year anniversary of our go-private transaction.

In S&P's press release, their rationale for the upgrade included:

Expectation that Dell will continue to reduce debt, targeting and maintaining adjusted leverage below 3x.

Dell's "fair" business risk profile, which incorporates the company's strong brand name and good market position across its hardware product portfolio, a geographically diverse and broad customer base, highly competitive market conditions, ongoing cost reductions enabling consistent profitability, and a modest mix of services and software revenues with higher growth and margin contribution potential.

Prudent balance sheet management

DELL-Mackenzie Lhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/dell_2d00_mackenzie-lDell's Security Offerings Address the Top Threats on the Minds of Customershttp://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2014/10/17/dell-s-security-offerings-address-the-top-threats-on-the-minds-of-customers2014-10-17T20:32:52Z2014-10-17T20:32:52Z
This week Dell hosted the first Dell Security Peak Performance Conference in Orlando, Florida where nearly 600 channel partners from North America, Latin America and Europe came together to learn about Dell Security solutions as well as industry trends and requirements. During the conference, Dell surveyed 120 Dell channel partners about the threats facing customers, and the top three concerns they identified were network security and unified threat management (77% of respondents), mobile security (61%), and cloud security (39%). Given this feedback from our partners, we thought it was important to walk through how Dell addresses these top three concerns.

Starting with network security, our line of Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) provides organizations a first and best line of defense. At the conference this week, we announced the newest addition to our line of NGFWs: the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive 9800. This is the most powerful model in Dell's SuperMassive 9000 Series and provides the highest-performance deep-packet inspection firewall available, while reducing both capex and costs for customers. In conjunction, we announced our complementary management and reporting Global Management System (GMS) 8.0, which makes NGFW management simple and efficient, helping to ease resource consumption, reduce overall risk and adhere to compliance requirements with a new workflow automation feature. These products help to ensure the protection, performance and scalability necessary for today's 10+ Gigabit enterprise infrastructures.

Regarding mobile security, Dell's commitment to offering scalable solutions to fit every size business and budget is evident in the variety of scalable secure remote access (SRA) appliances and intuitive Mobile Connect apps we offer. Specifically, the E-Class SRA Appliances deliver a complete mobile and remote access control solution for up to 20,000 concurrent users per device, while the SRA Series provides a powerful, easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for small-and medium-sized organizations. To provide safe access to resources from tablets and smartphones, our easy-to-use Mobile Connect app can be used with our SRA or next gen firewall appliances to extend productivity and block mobile security threats.

As for the cloud, Dell's Identity and Access Management offerings help businesses simplify and achieve secure access management. Specifically, Dell's Cloud Access Manager provides users with browser-based access to internal and cloud-based web applications while simultaneously enhancing security and IT efficiency. It has single sign-on (SSO), just-in-time cloud provisioning, identity federation, access control and auditing for a wide array of web application access scenarios. As companies continue moving toward utilizing the cloud in some form or fashion, securing access to that information becomes more and more important.

Security will continue to be an area of focus as we move through this new digital age. The three areas above are just a few examples of what we have to offer. We are committed to help customers of all sizes improve security in each of these areas of concern and beyond. For more information on these security offerings and additional software offerings, please visit our Dell Software site.

Karen Litzler-Hollierhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/dell_2d00_karen-lExciting Dell Storage Announcementshttp://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2014/09/15/exciting-dell-storage-announcements2014-09-15T20:53:46Z2014-09-15T20:53:46Z
In the past two months, Dell has made several exciting announcements regarding our Storage business, both from a product and strategy perspective.

First, we announced that we intend to bring our various storage technologies – including the EqualLogic and Compellent brands – into one common identity under the Dell Storage brand. We are already referring to the legacy Compellent brand as the Dell Storage SC series. We will continue to sell the EqualLogic brand through 2018 and support it through 2024, as we have several new releases planned for the years ahead. But over time, all of our platforms will merge under the Dell Storage platform, while still remaining backwards compatible with prior versions of the individual technologies.

Second, we announced the release of the first new product under the new Dell Storage brand, the SC4020. This product is designed for small and mid-sized customers as well as departmental or project-based deployments in larger organizations. It is targeted at the $25K-$50K price bands of the Fibre Channel and NAS storage market, which represents an estimated $5.5 billion worldwide market in 2014 and 2015 according to IDC. The SC4020 supports a wide-range of workloads for customers who are looking for enterprise level capabilities with outstanding price for performance. Those capabilities include technologies from Compellent such as thin provisioning, replication, and data progression. But where the Compellent SC8000 features a 6U footprint, the SC4020 has a 2U chassis while still being able to scale up to 120 hard drives with more than 400 TB of capacity. The SC4020 started shipping in APJ in fiscal Q2 of this year, and is now shipping in the Americas and EMEA as well.

Third, we announced a new project that is focused on aggregating our efforts in software defined storage. Project "Blue Thunder" will bring together the offerings we have developed with software defined storage partners such as Nexenta, Nutanix, Microsoft, and VMWare. While many of these partnerships aren't new, they are being brought together under Blue Thunder as part of a common platform. Our intent is to offer customers choice, and to provide them with an integrated solution that includes the hardware, software, and full support.

One example of the work we are doing under Blue Thunder is our OEM relationship with Nutanix, a leading developer of hyper-converged infrastructure technology. This relationship is enabling us to offer customers the Dell XC Series of Web Scale Converged Appliances, which combine compute, storage, and networking into a single offering running on Dell's industry-leading x86 PowerEdge platform, powered by Nutanix software. For customers seeking an integrated IT approach, these new Dell appliances offer simple deployment, management, and scale.

Our mission in storage has always been to redefine the economics of enterprise storage for our customers, delivering solutions that offer significantly better TCO, flexibility, and efficiency than competitive alternatives. We are excited about these new announcements and feel like they are another major piece of our strategy to be the leading provider of end-to-end scalable solutions.

Michael McMullenhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/dell_2d00_michael-mcmullenDell IR's Take on the Internet of Thingshttp://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2014/08/13/dell-ir-39-s-take-on-the-internet-of-things2014-08-13T18:32:56Z2014-08-13T18:32:56Z
It seems everyone has started talking about the Internet of Things (IoT) and embracing the idea of a more connected world. The IoT represents the convergence of machines (or "things") and data and is predicted to transform multiple industries through intelligent, interconnected devices. Goldman Sachs has defined IoT as:

A trend that connects devices such as every day consumer objects and industrial equipment onto a network, enabling information gathering and management of these devices via software in order to increase efficiency, enable new services, or achieve other health, safety, or environmental benefits.

According to IDC, the installed base of the IoT will be approximately 212 billion devices by 2020. This year alone, IDC expects shipments of smart-connected devices (i.e., PCs, tablets, and smartphones) to surpass 1.7 billion units worldwide.

The IoT differs from the Internet in several ways, but one key difference is that data generated by the devices will need to be stored and processed on the devices themselves, or on solutions that sit between the devices and the Internet. This transition to 'edge' computing is distinguishable from cloud computing in its proximity to end-users, its dense geographical distribution, and its support for mobility.

IoT will have broad-based implications for both the consumer and enterprise spaces. First, as more devices enter the workplace as part of BYOD (bring your own device), IT departments are struggling with a wide range challenges such as device management and security. To further the development, adoption, and wide-spread use of interconnected machines, several leading technology, government, industrial, and academic leaders have come together and formed the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC). The IIC, which Dell has joined, is working not only to create use cases but also to influence the standard-making process, which will allow devices to communicate with each other regardless of manufacturer.

Second, the growing usage of sensors will generate tremendous amounts of data, which will then have to be digested and analyzed in order to become useful. The exponential data growth will require further investment in the data center, specifically in storage and servers, in order to support the increasing internet activity. This should provide a tailwind for the server market, as one server will be required to support 400 smartphone devices, or 100 medical wearable devices, or 40 connected factory tools.

Third, as the number and variety of devices grow, so too does the potential for cyber threats. These threats can range from privacy issues to safety issues – for instance the threat of hackers taking control of smart car steering systems or manufacturing companies' production lines. Therefore, security is becoming a primary focus as the IoT becomes more prevalent.

Amidst these emerging and growing trends, Dell is participating in the IoT in several ways:

Smart Devices: Dell has established a partnership with Intel, in which both companies will be working together to support global sustainability with research into Smart Buildings. Dell and Intel are working to help architects and organizations imagine the next generation of integrated, open-architected, IP-centric, connected, and intelligent buildings.

Security & End-Point Management: Dell has introduced the new Dell KACE 1000 Endpoint Management Appliance. This solution addresses IoT readiness in two regards: device management complexity and security risks. KACE 1000 provides customers with greater visibility across their IT infrastructure, delivering enhanced functionality to help reduce security risks, ensure endpoint integrity, and ease ever-evolving systems management demands. Greater visibility across the entire infrastructure enables IT to improve security without adding undue management complexity or requiring the purchase of disparate tools or point solutions.

Big Data Analytics: Dell acquired StatSoft in March 2014. StatSoft is an award winning provider of advanced analytics solutions that deliver a wide range of data mining, predictive analytics, and data visualization capabilities. These capabilities will help empower companies to manage, integrate, and analyze data on-premises and in the cloud.

As it is only just beginning to take shape, the future potential for the IoT market is significant. It will generate voluminous amounts of unstructured data, and the opportunity to innovate lies within a company's ability to create hardware devices and its ability to develop tools, technologies, and/or services to gather, aggregate, analyze, and secure data. Dell will continue to be a part of that, developing solutions that meet our customers' needs in an ever-changing environment.

DELL-Mackenzie Lhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/dell_2d00_mackenzie-lDell User Forum 2014http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2014/06/30/dell-user-forum-20142014-06-30T21:49:36Z2014-06-30T21:49:36Z
Last week in Miami, FL we hosted the Dell User Forum for approximately 750 Dell executives, partners, sponsors and customer attendees. The conference, held annually in the US and Europe, offers an intensive, interactive learning experience across the data center—from servers, storage, and networking to software, services, and converged solutions. Attendees learn directly from the engineers, architects and other experts who design and develop Dell solutions.

There were several announcements that came out of the event; each exemplifying the expansion of our end-to-end solutions portfolio. First, we announced the worldwide availability of the Dell Storage SC4000 Series, which we believe demonstrates our continued innovation to bring full-featured, enterprise-class storage to cost-efficient, high-performing, mid-tier solutions. Specifically, one key differentiator of this offering is that it provides both iSCSI and fiber channel front end connectivity and SAS ports for expandability – and at a cost-effective price point. With regard to timing, the SC4000 Series will be available worldwide during the third quarter of 2014.

In conjunction, we also bolstered our software-defined storage portfolio with the announcement of a new go-to-market relationship with Nutanix. With this new agreement, we plan to offer customers the Dell XC Series of Web-scale Converged Appliances, which combine compute, storage and networking into a single offering, powered by Nutanix software.

Second, we introduced a series of new enterprise appliances and integrated systems to drive simplicity and ease of use across the data center, helping customers achieve quicker business insights and agility. The new workload-specific infrastructure appliances and integrated systems dramatically speed deployment, management and time to results for companies of all sizes. These include the Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases, Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle 12c Database and Dell In-Memory Appliances for Cloudera Enterprise.

Lastly, we announced the expansion of our migration services portfolio with the new Windows Server 2003 Migration Service. As the July 2015 deadline approaches for the end of Windows Server 2003 support, this offering will allow businesses currently running Windows Server 2003 to transition workloads to the Microsoft Azure cloud or Windows Server 2012 R2, while mitigating risk and costs associated with migration.

Reaction from those in attendance was positive. We value the opportunity to interact with our partners and customers at this event – sharing best practices and getting direct feedback. Through our new products and willingness to partner with other leading vendors, we believe we are proving our intent to be a disruptor across the datacenter.

As always, we welcome your feedback and questions.

Karen Litzler-Hollierhttp://en.community.dell.com/members/dell_2d00_karen-lDell Turns 30!http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/dell-shares/b/dell-shares/archive/2014/05/07/dell-turns-302014-05-07T18:22:34Z2014-05-07T18:22:34Z
Thirty years ago, Michael Dell, a freshman at the University of Texas, founded a new computer company called PC's Limited. He had an idea that would disrupt the industry, changing the way technology was manufactured and sold. Michael left school at the end of his freshman year to devote all his time to growing the business.

Four years later, Dell completed its initial public offering, raising $30 million and increasing market capitalization from $1,000 to $85 million. It was a full-fledged Fortune 500 company by 1992.

In 2013, ranking 51 in the Fortune 500 and six months shy of its 30th anniversary, Dell returned to its entrepreneurial roots by becoming a private company once again under the leadership of Michael Dell.

Below are a few milestones along our 30-year journey...

In 1985, we designed and built our first desktop, the Turbo PC. That same year, we set the standard for IT support by offering next-day, at-home product assistance.

In 1987, Dell opened its first international subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Today we meet the IT needs of customers in 180 countries around the world.

In 1994, Dell entered the enterprise market with the introduction of the Dell PowerEdge server line.

In 2001, it's a year of firsts as Dell becomes the No. 1 computer systems provider worldwide, and reaches No. 1 in U.S. Intel-based server shipments.

In 2010, Dell acquires key IP in storage, systems management, cloud computing and software.

In 2013, Dell fought off several corporate takeover attempts and became a private company again with Michael Dell at the helm.

Today, we are accelerating our strategy to become the leader in end-to-end, scalable IT solutions. We intend to do for enterprise-class technology what we did for the PC—make them more accessible, more affordable and more powerful for people and organizations everywhere.

We are making history again! Thank you for being part of our story.

Best,

Karina

Faster Than Wind
Short-listed for the Manitoba Young Reader's Choice Award, 2010
It is 1900, and 14-year-old Bertie McCross is a newspaper boy in downtown Toronto. Berties family has fallen on hard times and can use every penny he brings home from hawking newspapers on the frigid streets. However, in order to do that Bertie has to keep out of the clutches of the Kelly Gang, a family of slightly older Cabbagetown toughs who are shaking down "newsies."
On Christmas Eve, Bertie is almost cornered by the Kellys but is saved by Tommy Fry and Milwaukee Ed, who introduce Bertie to the thrills of iceboat racing on Lake Ontario. Soon Bertie is swept up in the fast and dangerous sport and meets a whole crew of new friends, including Isobel, a girl from a wealthy family with a mansion on Jarvis Street. The continued pursuit by the Kelly Gang, a plunge into freezing harbour water, and the clash of classes all lead up to a spine-tingling race to end all races.

Hello everyone,
I am wondering if anyone here knows about RSSAA and Detroit Waldorf, and what do you know about them, the good and the bad, and which one do you think better and why or are they just about the same? I am planning on sending my daughter to a pre-K in RSSAA this September... but before I make my final decision I need some input regarding both schools. Both schools are gonna be a long commute for me, 20-30 miles each way, so if anyone here has the experience on the long commute can you please share them with me too?
Thank you!
Hi Fluffy Fluff,
We looked at both and decided on DWS. I have the luxury of living between both, so our decision was completely about the schools. I'm wondering where you live? There is a WONDERFUL Waldorf pre=school through K program in Southfield called Bluebird house. It is run out of the womans' home. She is a former teacher at DWS and a current Waldorf teacher trainer. I found the program to be a little richer than what either of the bigger schools could provide and cheaper too. My 2 year old attends parent tot there, and my now 7 year old finished the program before going to 1st grade at DWS. The rest of the graduates that year split 1/2 way down the middle between both schools, mostly because of logistics. I loved Bluebird House and it helped me to meet other Waldorf minded families and learn more about the community before making a commitment to one of the bigger schools.
I'd rather keep my opinions of both schools between you and I but would be happy to discuss further with you. If you are so inclined, send me an e-mail and I will forward you my telephone #. Also, a friend of mine will be hosting an open house tea in Royal Oak at the end of the month to talk with parents who are interested in Detroit Waldorf. DWS is having parents from the farthest corners of their enrollment host these teas,so if this is something that would be helpful you could call the school and find out if there is one closer to you.
Regardless, I hope you find what is best for you and your family. Here is my e-mail [email protected] .
Wanted to add that one of the bigger factors in our choice was meeting both 1st grade teachers after they were announced..Being in a more neutral position of attending an outside school I felt I had less bias when meeting both teachers. As you probably already know your child will theoretically have the same teacher for 8 years. After meeting them both and discussing their merits with those who knew them I was confident in my choice and we are DELIGHTED with our teacher and school thus far!

Possibly facing Tito Ortiz in TNA: "Tito beat me three times already, so for me to get a rematch with him in pro wrestling, it would be fun."
Possibly facing Kurt Angle in TNA: "The one thing I would love to have with him is an 'Ankle Lock Match,' where as you can't win any other way before you put an ankle lock on one or the other. Let's find out who is the real master of the leg locks. Who can put an ankle lock on the other one and make them tap out. Then we'll truly know who does it best."
Possibility of working for Ring of Honor: "Ring of Honor is extreme probably one of my favorite matches I ever saw. I don't remember the name of the guys, but it was unbelievable it was almost like Stone Cold and Bret Hart when they had their 'I Quit match.' They were just non-stop, and I've seen other guys in there and I was like, 'these guys have something special if they can just get this out there. It was a different brand. It was more like in Japan where they had catch as catch can. I was really intrigued by that. With my schedule now, I have opportunities to move things around and do what I want to do. I'm definitely open to any of those options. I really would love to have the opportunity."
Dana White disrespecting UFC legends: "I'm a world champion, proven, Randy Couture is a proven world champion, Tito, my brother... and yet Dana White stands up there and calls them these names? What kind of person does that? Oh yeah, that's right, those are those keyboard warriors, and Dana White is one of them. Dana White hides behind a microphone and behind a TV camera and spouts off and calls people names because he doesn't like their opinion."
Being 'blackballed' from UFC: " I feel for the guys in UFC who helped open the UFC up, obviously I'm getting blackballed there by the UFC, so I'm kind of feeling on both sides, if a promotion or somebody in that promotion decides they don't like an individual, then they get to make up the rules and the fans don't get a say in it at all. The people that either one, don't like me, or have a problem with me feel that they don't have to listen to the fans and the fans don't have a say, so they just have to shut up and keep paying for their tickets."
Not getting respect for his UFC legacy: "When it comes to UFC, the twenty year anniversary is coming up and not one mention from the UFC, which, I made them millions of dollars, I saved their ass from closing the doors twice and yet there is no respect being paid in this direction other than threatening me."

Recent Moosehead Lake reviews
"This log cabin is amazing! It is absolutely immaculate inside and beautifully decorated. We were very comfortable during our stay. We loved that we could bring our small dog with us and he absolutely enjoyed the dock and swimming in the river! We also loved that the owners allowed us to use their kayaks and took the two person kayak out exploring one full day. Anything major is about 20 mins away, which for us was not a problem, but there is a small gas station, grill/pub, and town store combination about 10 mins or less from the property if you need something desperately. Candace was a great communicator throughout and made our stay very easy. We thoroughly enjoyed eating at the Greenville Inn. Next time, we will book in advance (they say to make reservations one week in advance) at the The Blair Hill Inn as well. These were slightly more upscale dining areas. We saw many moose along Routes 6 + 15 at dusk which is both exciting and nerve wracking at night! We took a moose cruise from The Birches which was just okay. We saw the tail end of one moose only. However, it was a nice way to see the lake. I wish we could stay here longer. We will definitely book again. Thank you so much Candace. This place is a real gem. You should post more pictures."Guest: Leah M. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 31, 2014View listing
"We had the best time on the island it was quiet and relaxing. Our three dogs thought they had gone to heaven swimming and chasing the ducks. Janet and heidi were very helpfull. So if your looking for a quiet getaway this is the spot."Guest: peace and quiet Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 3, 2014View listing
"We had a great vacation with our entire family at this awesome cabin...it had everything we wanted. The kids loved kayaking and swimming in the cove. Nights were spent making smores by the campfire and in the hot tub. We had one rainy day where the pool table and ping pong table in the basement came in handy. The only problem was the week went by too fast...we would definitely come back again !!!"Guest: Rudi H. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 8, 2015View listing
"This home is more lovely than the photos provided! It is secluded yet conveniently located near Greenville. The kitchen is well stocked and still provided plenty of space for storing your own items. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets on the large deck overlooking the lake, we planed our hikes for the following day in a comfy living room in front of the propane fireplace and took numerous photos of the deer as they played and grazed on the front and back lawns every morning and evening. It was a fantastic place with excellent support from the owner. We had a wonderful vacation and I highly recommend this place."Guest: june Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 25, 2014View listing

Fisherman recounts harrowing journey
HOUSTON — John Reynolds and the four others aboard the Nite Owl weren't worried when the thunderstorms made it impossible for the commercial fishing boat to return back to shore. They'd seen this kind of weather before.
They did what they normally would, tying the boat to an oil rig off the Texas Gulf Coast and going to sleep. But early Friday morning, "a rogue wave, a freak wave or something hit the side of the boat," Reynolds said.
"It just collapsed the cabin ... where the captain sleeps," he said on Sunday as the Coast Guard announced it was calling off the search for the other four people aboard the vessel. "When it hit, it tore the whole top of the boat off."
The captain was sent overboard, and within two minutes, the 50-foot vessel sunk. One crew member tried to reach the captain, while Reynolds and the two others saw a life raft. Reynolds was the only one who reached it.
He then spent about two hours floating in the Gulf of Mexico before the Coast Guard rescued him.
The Coast Guard scoured a 5,400-square-mile area with planes, helicopters and boats looking for Reynolds' four crewmates before calling off its search.
"I'm just sorry they didn't find anybody. I wish all the guys would have been in the life raft with me," Reynolds said.
The Coast Guard has identified three of the missing fishermen as Don Windom, Duoc Dan Nguyen and Jamie Esquivel. Larry Moore, the boat's owner, identified the fourth missing man as Charles Patrick, the vessel's captain.
What became a harrowing journey for Reynolds and the four other men began Thursday when the Nite Owl left Port Bolivar, near Galveston, for what was to be an eight- to 12-day fishing trip, said Moore, who runs M.L.T. Seafood Inc. in Golden Meadow, La. The Nite Owl is the company's only fishing boat.
Reynolds, 56, from Gaston, Ala., said that after the boat was hit by the "freak wave," he and three other crew members who had been sleeping below deck, climbed upstairs, pushing debris out of the way. Realizing Patrick was missing, they began calling out for him. Patrick answered them back once, although they couldn't see him.
"The first and only thing I heard him say was he told us to get our life jackets on," Reynolds said.
The life jackets had been washed away, and the men were soon in the water as the boat quickly sank about 115 miles southeast of Galveston.
Reynolds said one of his crewmates appeared to be in shock and didn't seem to want to let go of some debris he was clinging to. The other crewmate, who was not a good swimmer, seemed to follow Reynolds.
Reynolds said as he was trying to get his crewmates into the raft, he was also bailing water out of it. The 10-to-12 foot waves soon swept the raft away from his crewmates.

One of Auckland's newest tourist attractions is setting up in Queenstown, signalling growth in "soft adventure" in New Zealand's adrenaline capital.
Odyssey Sensory Maze set up a year ago in downtown Auckland's Metro Centre, just off Aotea Square, and has done a booming trade with a huge cross-section of people taking up the chance to experience illusionary mazes and light shows.
Odyssey co-directors Michelle Jensen and David Smith had spent leisure time in Queenstown, and after the success of Auckland operations decided setting up in the resort was the next logical step.
"Queenstown has so many great things to do, but not much in the way of families actually sharing time together doing something that is leisure, but interactive at the same time, plus we'll give people something to do when the mountains are closed in winter and they've got some down time in summer," Ms Jenson said.
Mr Smith said it was hard to define what the maze was.
"It's definitely challenging and fun, there's large-scale illusions, soundscaping, and it's really tactile - I even struggle to explain it, and the best thing to do is for people just to come and have a look.
"We aim to invigorate people's senses and take them out of the everyday by providing some good old fashioned escapism, if if it is quite high-tech."
Queenstown's maze will be bigger than Auckland's and the $110,000 fitout of the Shotover St premises is in full swing.
"We're going for a grander scale than our Auckland operation, but at this stage don't have an opening date at all. We're hitting the refit as hard and as fast as we can, and we hope we'll be open some time in March."

Fractal Design Node 605 HTPC Chassis Review - Accessories and Documentation
Accessories and Documentation
Inside of the box, yet outside of the case, you will find the hardware box. If you are to flip this box over, it does offer a full contents list with images to help you know right away if you are missing anything.
In that box you will find the mounting system to install a slim optical drive. Since most media is streamed or just taken on mobile storage, maybe you don't need an optical drive, and is why this is left as an option to install. Also out of the chassis, it is much easier to install the drive, and then put it in the case.
The rest of the hardware included gives you five wire ties and an assortment of 3.5" and 2.5" drive mounting screws in the bag. You also get nine stand-offs, four fan screws, and 13 screws for the stand-offs, with the four extra being used for the power supply.
I went ahead and installed an SSD on the left with the smaller screws in the pre-drilled holes near the center of the trays. On the top I have used the longer screws that go through the grommets so they isolate the vibrations of 3.5" drives.
The manual on the left is more of a guide. There isn't too much information offered for the less experienced builders, but in their defense, the Node 605 is very self-explanatory. As for the bright red sheet on the right, it is to let customers know that if they do find damage to their product, to contact Fractal Design for replacement, not to return it to the store or e-tailer.

Nefky's dad was killed in the 2010 Haitian earthquake and his mom was left unable to care for their eight children. So she made the heartbreaking decision to take Nefky, and his sister Manoucheca, to the HTDC orphanage.
Nefky's mom hoped the orphanage could feed him, but with so many other hungry mouths to feed, the orphanage also struggled from day to day.
Without healthy food, Nefky was listless. He didn't play or run around.
Now - thanks to you - the orphanage staff can barely keep up with him. He loves playing soccer and he's always building his own toys from bits and pieces he finds around the orphanage.
Because of you, Nefky now enjoys three nutritious meals every day - and we'll be able to keep providing the food he needs to stay healthy and keep on growing.
Nefky has a bright future because you gave. There are so many things you could have spent your hard earned money on, but you chose Nefky. Thanks so much.
We'll keep updating you about Nefky and all his friends at the Hands Together to Defend the Children Orphanage through this project's parent page,Provide a Safe Home for Haitian Orphans. If you ever have any questions about how we're using your donation, please email email@example.com. We'd love to hear from you!
Thanks again for making Nefky's future bright, and our warmest regards!
Thanks so much for allowing us to provide an emergency generator for San Agustin Daycare!
The Daycare is used as an evacuation center during typhoons but it often loses power during storms. Its rural location means that electricity is slow to be restored. This used to make evacuations even scarier as families often had to spend nights in the dark. They also lacked the ability to contact loved ones.
But now, thanks to you, we'll be able to provide San Agustin Daycare with an emergency generator.
Because of your generosity families sheltering at the center will now have access to light. They will also be able to charge their phones and let loved ones know they're safe.
This will make the practicalities of evacuation much easier and will also provide comfort during difficult times, particularly for families with young children.
We'll send you updates about how your gift is changing lives right here on GlobalGiving. Should you ever have any questions about how we're using your donation, please don't hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd love to hear from you!
One last time, thanks so much for providing an emergency generator for San Agustin Daycare.
Our warmest regards from Tacloban
Thank you so much for allowing us to provide a classroom for Ira!
Ira is eleven years old and she lives with her grandparents and four cousins in the community of Pitogo, which is not far from Tacloban. Ira dreams of becoming a nurse when she's older.
But Ira's classroom was badly damaged by typhoon Haiyan and her education has been suffering ever since.
Without an education, Ira's future looked bleak. Without basic literacy and numeracy, her dreams would have been forgotten and she would almost certainly have been doomed to a life of poverty.
But Ira is lucky - she has you in her life.
Your fantastic generosity means that we'll be able to repair and refurbish Ira's classroom and give her back the education she needs to fulfil her dreams.
We'll be able to support Ira because you chose to give. There are so many things you could have spent your hard earned money on, but you chose Ira. Thanks so much.
We'll send you updates about how your gift is changing Ira's life right here on GlobalGiving. Should you have any questions about how we're using your donation, please don't hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd love to hear from you!
Our warmest regards from Tacloban.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt have had their share of problems in the Giants' pitcher-friendly waterfront ballpark, no matter the stadium's name.
Something changed for both Astros stars Thursday night in a venue that has undergone two name changes in four years.
Oswalt pitched 8 1/3 dominant innings and Berkman hit his NL-leading fifth and sixth homers of the season, leading Houston past San Francisco 8-0 to give the Astros a doubleheader split after losing the first game 5-3.
"It's definitely moved up my list of least favorite ballparks to hit in," said Berkman, who stepped into the batter's box in the third inning with two home runs in his last 60 at-bats in San Francisco.
"I guess it's the law of averages," he said. "This is a tough place to hit. It's big in the middle and it doesn't seem like the ball carries well. It's bright. ... It's cold, windy, damp. But you have to put that out of your mind and go out and compete."
Oswalt (2-0) -- winless with a 6.11 ERA in four previous starts here -- gave up eight hits, struck out two and walked three. Fernando Nieve got the final two outs to complete the shutout.
"They had the same game plan as the last three years," Oswalt said. "The only difference was instead of coming back over the plate I was able to throw the ball where I wanted. I came in here and I haven't won here. I thought about it today."
Berkman, who has homered in five of his last seven games, hit a two-run shot to center batting left-handed in the third and added a solo homer to left batting righty leading off the ninth. It was the first time in his career he homered from both sides.
Brad Ausmus had two RBI, three hits and a run scored, and Craig Biggio, Jason Lane and Morgan Ensberg also drove in runs.
Backup catcher Todd Greene singled twice and tripled and Randy Winn had a double among his three hits for the Giants on a night when Barry Bonds, Moises Alou, Mike Matheny and Omar Vizquel weren't in the starting lineup.
Rookie Matt Cain (0-1) matched his career high with eight strikeouts in five innings but fell behind 3-0.
"(Oswalt) controlled the count better than I did," Cain said. "He got ahead of hitters early."
Preston Wilson doubled to start the fourth, then reached third on a wild pitch before Cain gave up back-to-back walks to Lane and Ausmus to load the bases with no outs. Cain then struck out Eric Bruntlett and Oswalt, and got Biggio to ground into a fielder's choice.
- Giants LHP Noah Lowry, the No. 3 starter on the 15-day DL with a strained right side muscle, played light catch for the second straight day. He made 75 throws from 50 feet.
- Moises Alou became the first Giants player to hit his 300th since Bonds in 1996.
- The last Astros player to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game was Carlos Beltran on July 1, 2004, against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
- Berkman is the first Astros player since Jimmy Wynn in 1973 to hit six HRs in his first nine games.

This was our second date meal visit to this restaurant. I arrived early and was sested promptly, given a drink, and plenty of refills to keep me happy until my date arrived. I ordered the barbecue hamburger and my wife had a Reuben.
We were treated with the utmost respect. The restaurant has a great environment and is close to Sanibel Island, which makes it a great option to avoid the lackluster service found on the island and get a good meal at a good price.
