Simply scalable.
Businesses have a variety of options for deploying and managing iPhone, whether devices are company‑owned or employee‑owned. From basic out‑of‑the‑box setup to full‑scale mass configuration, users will appreciate the simplicity and ease of use of iOS.
Get started with an overview of how to deploy iOS devices, or view detailed technical information.
Download the iOS Enterprise Deployment Overview View the iOS Deployment Technical Reference
Built-in support for key enterprise technologies in iOS paves the way for smooth integration of iOS devices into a company's existing infrastructure. Get your environment prepared with the following steps and solutions.
Get your
network ready.
When preparing to deploy iOS devices, evaluate the network environment to make sure your organization takes full advantage of everything iOS offers. Consistent, dependable access to a wireless network is critical for setting up and configuring iOS devices. Evaluate the VPN infrastructure to make sure employees can securely access company resources via their devices remotely.Learn more about iOS security
Set up
corporate servers.
iOS supports seamless integration of the most popular enterprise communication systems like Microsoft Exchange. Verify the Microsoft ActiveSync service is up to date and configured to support your users. With cloud-based Microsoft Office 365, ensure that you have sufficient licenses for your devices. iOS can also integrate with just about any standards-based service.
Evaluate third‑party solutions.
To wirelessly configure and manage a large number of iOS devices in a simplified and efficient way, your organization will need a third-party management solution. These solutions work in concert with the built-in management framework in iOS to update settings, monitor policy compliance, deploy apps, and remotely wipe or lock managed devices.Learn more about iOS and MDM
Set up.
iOS makes it simple for employees to start using their devices right out of the box, without requiring help from IT. Whether setting up devices in a BYOD environment or deploying company-owned devices, iOS provides tools and programs to help users get up and running quickly.
Start working.
Out of the box, employees can activate their devices, configure basic settings, and start working right away using Setup Assistant in iOS. Beyond basic settings, users can customize their personal preferences like language, location, Siri, iCloud, and Find My iPhone. Setup Assistant also enables the user to create a personal Apple ID if they don't have one already.
Get an Apple ID.
An Apple ID is a personal account used for accessing Apple services like FaceTime, iMessage, App Store, iTunes, and iCloud. In order to get the most out of these services, have employees use their own Apple ID. If they don't have one yet, employees can create an ID before they even have their device, so configuration is as quick as possible.Learn more about Apple ID
Consider iCloud.
iCloud is a service that allows users to automatically sync documents and personal content such as contacts, calendars, documents, and photos, and keep them up to date between multiple devices. Users can also back up an iOS device automatically when connected to Wi-Fi, or use Find My iPhone to locate a lost or stolen iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.Learn more about iCloud
With built-in support for third-party management solutions, iOS drives faster onboarding as well as advanced control over corporate data. Leverage the latest tools and programs from Apple to make configuration turnkey.
Deploy easily and efficiently.
iOS deployments can be streamlined through several management techniques that simplify account setup, configure corporate policies, distribute apps, and apply device restrictions. Users can then do most of the setup themselves through the Setup Assistant built into iOS. And after iOS devices are configured and enrolled in MDM, they can be wirelessly managed by IT.Learn more about iOS and MDM
The Device Enrollment Program (DEP) provides a fast, streamlined way to deploy corporate-owned iOS devices purchased directly from Apple. Automatically enroll devices in MDM without having to physically touch or prep the devices before users get them. Further simplify the setup process by removing specific steps in the Setup Assistant, so users are up and running quickly.Learn more about the Device Enrollment Program
Supervise devices.
In environments where iOS devices are shared, such as in hospitals, retail stores, and restaurants, supervision provides a higher level of device management for devices owned by your organization, allowing additional restrictions such as turning off Find My Friends, AirDrop, and Messages. Using DEP, supervision can be wirelessly enabled on the device during setup or enabled using Apple Configurator.Learn more about Apple Configurator
Device Enrollment Program.
The Device Enrollment Program provides a fast, streamlined way to deploy institutionally owned iPads, iPhones, and Macs that are purchased directly from Apple or through participating Apple Authorized Resellers and carriers. Enrollment begins by creating an Apple Deployment Programs account.
Enroll in the Device Enrollment Program
Learn more about the Device Enrollment Program
Distribute apps and books.
App and book distribution in large quantities is simple and flexible. Whether deploying apps purchased from the Volume Purchase Program or in-house apps directly, take advantage of various options for getting apps to employees.
Manage your distribution.
Distributing and managing apps for your employees is key to ramping up productivity across the organization. With the Volume Purchase Program (VPP), organizations can purchase apps and books in volume for both OS X and iOS. Additionally, by using third-party management solutions, you can distribute, configure, and remove apps in large quantities with ease and efficiency.Learn more about the Volume Purchase Program
Simplify self-service for users.
An internal app portal is a convenient, secure way to provide a centralized destination for business apps throughout the company. It can be as easy as setting up a web server that lists a catalog of available apps. Users simply tap a URL that prompts them to install an App Store app, redeem a VPP code, or install a custom in‑house app.
Speed up content delivery.
Caching Server is an integrated feature in OS X Server that saves previously requested content like documents, apps, and books. This minimizes needed bandwidth by hosting content locally, and speeds software delivery from the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks Store. Caching Server can also cache software updates for faster download to devices.Learn more about Caching Server 2
Volume Purchase Program.
The Volume Purchase Program makes it easy for businesses to find, buy, and distribute apps and books in volume to employees throughout the organization. Enrollment begins by creating an Apple Deployment Programs account.Enroll in the Volume Purchase Program

Service and support.
With help from Apple, businesses of all sizes can deliver services and support throughout the entire organization without adding additional IT resources.
Complete enterprise coverage.
AppleCare for Enterprise provides Apple's award-winning support for your IT department and employees. You'll also get repair or replacement coverage for your Apple hardware, with onsite support delivered by IBM Global Technology Services, a worldwide Apple Authorized Service Provider.Learn more

Sienna Miller first stole our hearts when she burst onto the international cinema scene with her bohemian-meets-sophisticate style, gamine good looks, and tongue-in-cheek British sensibility, and unlike some of our more ephemeral fashion crushes, our love for the actress has not waned. In fact, through the years, she has only endeared herself to us further as a well-dressed icon with intriguing taste. Though she is not adverse to risk-taking-who can forget the pant-less catsuit she donned for a Factory Girl after party in 2007?-Miller has managed to stay true to her independent and playful sartorial spirit. Whether she is dressed down in gray stovepipe jeans and a striped shirt or styled to the nines in enviable fancy fare from the likes of Matthew Williamson and Marchesa, Miller knows how to get a well-appointed result for any occasion.
This summer, we are sure to be seeing more of Miller as she makes the rounds for her upcoming action flick G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which will hit theaters this August. Accordingly, for today's What Would She Wear story, we wanted to gather a group of well-edited and Miller-inspired pieces that would fit seamlessly into the vintage-lover's warm-weather wardrobe. Remember that the key to capturing Miller's look is simple: unfussy staples, cutting-edge classics, lots of layering pieces with beading and fringe flourishes, and an insouciant attitude!
1. Twenty8Twelve Doris Rose Print Dress ($248)
An English rose through and through, we can easily imagine Miller rocking this romantic and charming frock. This spaghetti-strapped and voluminous selection pays homage to this summer's blooming floral trend-and also happens to come from Twenty8Twelve, the line launched by Miller and her sister Savannah (who cut her teeth designing at Alexander McQueen.) We love this petal-printed piece, and would wear it all summer long with a denim vest or jacket.
2. Circa 78 Knot Necklace ($48)
While Miller is often spotted wearing authentic and eye-catching ethnic jewelry, we think she would be mad about this Knot Necklace. Circa 78's dramatic piece would add texture and a pop of color to a basic blouse, and would look perfect layered under a scarf or as an accent to any simple-and-chic summer ensemble.
3. Comptoir des Cotonniers Dingo Tan Leather Boots ($285, 212.274.0830)
While Miller often opts for flat footwear, she always picks a pair with eye-catching embellishments, such as metal chains or fringe detailing, like her covetable Isabel Marant choice (above) or her beloved Minnetonka moccasins. These cropped leather boots would look smashing with tucked-in skinny trousers, or worn with a Liberty-print dress to trawl London's Portobello Market for vintage treasures.
4. Aldo Dilox Bag ($120)
This soft suede satchel from Aldo positively screams Miller! The embroidered fringed front flap and cross-body strap is the ideal carryall to accompany the globetrotting actress on her promotional G.I. Joe world tour.
5. Maje Gill Suede Biker Jacket
As evidenced by the cropped leather coat Miller has been spotted in recently, the actress clearly gravitates towards classic styles with an edge and loves luxurious materials. The shocking red hue of this reasonably priced suede biker jacket will add a swath of bright color and instant interest to any outfit, not to mention the perfect amount of coverage for a summer night on the town!
6. Topshop Crackle Frame Sunglasses ($23)
Though Miller is a devotee of the ever-popular Ray-Ban Wayfarers, we think she would look quite lovely in these cat-eye frames from Topshop. The style has been spotted on a bevy of stylish-young-things, and we are sure Miller would be partial to the dramatic and retro effect of these shades.

Mets and Red Sox sort-of talk, but definitely not about Saltalamacchia
FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal told MLB Network that the Red Sox are not likely to trade C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, despite signing free-agent C-1B Mike Napoli earlier today.
According to Rosenthal, Napoli was signed to play first base (not catcher) and the Red Sox prefer top C prospect Ryan Lavarnway begin his season at Triple-A.
ESPN Boston reported earlier today that the Mets and Red Sox met to discuss R.A. Dickey, with the Mets requesting two of their top prospects.
"Saltalamacchia would seem to be a piece in any talks for Dickey," Boston reporter Sean McAdam said on Twitter. However, he adds, a source told him the Mets believe they can do better at catcher.
Frankly, McAdam says, though the Mets are willing to listen on Dickey, the Red Sox have not shown interest.
To take it a step further, Andy Martino of the Daily News says the Mets never asked Boston for any specific players, despite the ESPN report.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
OK. So, it reads like the Red Sox took a meeting with the Mets, as is customary at these meeting, during which the hinted at, or wondered about SS prospect Xander Bogaerts and center fielder Jack Bradley, Jr., but probably not Saltalamacchia. The Red Sox had no interest in Dickey, so that's where the conversation ended…

Frigid weather this week as cold as minus 13 degrees overnight with wind chills of minus 29 has made life tougher for those who work outside.
Morristown Fire Chief Kevin J. Crosby said he prays he does not get calls. With below-freezing temperatures, hoses have to be run on a constant flow, he said.
Basically, if the water flow stops, the hose has a chance of freezing, he said. It can break a line or the hose, and it can fly all over the place and potentially hurt any firefighters standing nearby.
Firefighters also risk falling on icy driveways and frostbite in subzero temperatures.
We stand outside in thermal gear, but we are not equipped with arctic weather gear, he said. There is some insulation, but not when it is this cold.
The cold also presents problems for other basic services. Michael P. Donahue, who handles garbage for the Massena Department of Public Works, was out from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, and spent much of the time on the back of a garbage truck, where he was fully exposed to the bitter winds. By the afternoon he felt cold, tired and totally drained.
Were moving enough to stay pretty warm. But everythings frozen in the cans, which makes everything more difficult, for sure, Mr. Donahue said.
The cold also caused pipes to freeze in many homes. Kevin P. Clemons, a plumber for Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain in Massena, cleared at least six frozen pipes in the last few days.
Mr. Clemons recommends insulating exposed pipes and leaving the water running at a trickle overnight. Discolored water is a sign the pipes are beginning to freeze, he said.
Tracy S. Vanarnam, owner of Morristown Fuel and Supply Co., 501 Chapman St., Morristown, said the biggest challenge facing fuel oil providers in subzero temperatures is just keeping up with the demand.
A lot of customers dont plan ahead to have a lot of reserve fuel oil, she said. Its just a matter of getting around to everybody on a timely basis. Lets just say you cant run out and go through the night without fuel oil this time of year.

Although engineers and electrical designers recognize the performance advantages of using PVC-coated conduit in corrosive environments, making sure field installers understand and adhere to accepted installation practices continues to be a challenge. But it doesn't have to be this way. All it takes to realize a successful installation is to follow a few simple precautions, use the right tools, adhere to manufacturer-specific recommendations, and protect the coating at every stage of the installation. In fact, PVC-coated conduit installation procedures are pretty much the same as those used to install standard galvanized conduit, with a few minor exceptions.
Materials and tools. There are three basic types of PVC-coated conduit: primary PVC coating over bare steel, PVC coating over listed galvanized steel conduit, and primary PVC coating over a supplementary coating of zinc. These PVC-coated raceways are generally installed as a system, which means the fittings, conduit bodies, straps, hangers, and boxes are also coated. There are, however, installations where only a coated elbow is used in a galvanized conduit run, such as when it is emerging from the soil or concrete.
To minimize installation damage to the PVC coatings, you must use tools specially designed for PVC-coated conduit or rely on standard tools that have been appropriately modified for installing such material. Standard tools that have not been modified will most likely damage the coating and reduce its effectiveness in combating the effects of corrosion.
An effective approach in reviewing the accepted installation practices associated with this product line is to review each step of the process in detail. We'll start with a discussion on clamping and finish with assembly and installation.
Clamping. Various manufacturers offer modified jaws for use in standard vises to protect the coating while it's held in place for cutting and threading operations (Fig. 1). When using a jaw or chain type vise, you can also use half-shell clamps to protect the PVC-coated conduit. These are available as a manufactured product, or you can make your own set in the field from rigid metal conduit (RMC).
To make your own half-shell clamps, follow these simple guidelines. First, cut two 6-inch pieces of standard RMC one trade size larger than the PVC-coated conduit to be clamped. Next, use a band saw to cut the 6-inch conduit sections lengthwise. Make the cut slightly off center. This creates two half shells — one smaller than the other. Then discard the larger pieces and deburr any sharp edges. Properly made clamping sleeves will have a gap between the two pieces when positioned on the PVC-coated conduit (Fig. 2).
As a last resort, if you don't have access to a manufactured set of clamps and proper tooling isn't available to make your own set, then wrap the area of the conduit to be clamped with sandpaper, emery cloth, or cardboard. The coarse side of the emery cloth or sandpaper should face the PVC coating. Note: This is the least desirable method and should be avoided if possible.
Cutting and threading. It's preferable to cut PVC-coated conduit with a saw rather than a roller cutter. However, a roller cutter can provide an acceptable cut as long as you properly clamp the conduit in place before you proceed.
If PVC-coated conduit is cut with a hacksaw or a band saw, and you elect to use a hand threader to thread the conduit, then make sure and trim the coating at an angle all the way around the conduit before you begin the threading process. This is sometimes referred to as making a pencil or bevel cut. What this does is allow for the die teeth on the threader to engage the conduit properly (Fig. 3). Be sure the conduit is securely held in the vise before beginning this process.
You must modify a standard die head (i.e. machine it) for use on PVC-coated conduit. To make this modification, bore the guide sleeve to allow the coated conduit to easily enter the die. You must increase the inside diameter by 110 mils (0.11 inch). Do not remove the PVC coating to allow for the use of standard non-machined die heads.
Do not use rotating machines with jaws as they can cut through the PVC coating. Long strips of metal or PVC from the threading can foul the die head and collapse the conduit. To avoid this and permit removal of PVC in small pieces, make a series of longitudinal cuts in the PVC coating (along the conduit) in the area to be threaded. You can use the thread protector as a length guide for the cuts (Fig. 4). Following the cutting operation, use a reamer to remove any rough edges (Fig. 5).
After threading and reaming the conduit, clean the threads and conduit interior with a degreasing spray to prepare for the application of the touchup compound. Cleaning will ensure good adherence of the compound to the unprotected substrate.
The requirements of 300.6 of the 2005 NEC state that where corrosion protection is necessary and the conduit is threaded in the field, the thread shall be coated with an approved electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant compound (Fig. 6). Coatings for this purpose are listed under UL category "FOIZ." You may also use zinc-rich paint or other coatings acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Corrosion protection is provided on factory-cut threads at time of manufacturing.
Bending. Manufactured elbows are available in a variety of radii; however, the need for field-bending conduit is inevitable. To hand bend small diameter PVC-coated conduit, use an EMT bender one trade size larger than the conduit being bent. This will help you avoid damaging the coating. For example, to bend trade size 3/4 PVC-coated conduit, use a trade size 1 EMT bender.
The use of a bender with shoes made specifically to bend PVC-coated conduit is preferred. Otherwise, for trade sizes 1/2 through 1 1/2, use an electric-powered bender (Fig. 7) with EMT shoes one size larger than the conduit. When working with trade sizes 2 and larger, use a hydraulic bender. Never use lubricants in the shoes or on the conduit. Lubricant allows the conduit to slip above the centerline of the shoe, resulting in a flat elbow.
Most manufacturers of hydraulic benders offer special shoes for bending PVC-coated conduit. Use these special shoes when possible. If regular shoes are used, their sides must be modified to allow for the coating thickness. Some installers have accomplished this by grinding or milling down the inside of the shoe. This type of modification is not recommended, as it can create a safety hazard for the equipment operator.
Assembly and installation. Do not use ordinary slip-joint pliers or standard pipe wrenches on PVC-coated conduit because they'll damage the coating. Use specially designed pliers or wrenches with fine teeth. You can also use strap wrenches to tighten conduit or couplings without damaging the coating. Slip-joint pliers of the Channel-Lock™ type, specially equipped with wide jaws, are also good at protecting the coating.
Note that for PVC-coated conduit, wrench sizes are the same. However, the jaw of the wrench must be specially designed for PVC-coated conduit. If that's not available, use a strap wrench. Since the threads of PVC-coated conduit are not visible, because PVC sleeves cover them, take extra care to be sure they're fully engaged and made up wrench-tight.
Sleeves on PVC-coated conduit couplings and fittings are provided to ensure continuous coating protection. Protection is added because the coating is separate, not continuous, between a section of conduit and fitting. This provides protection and makes the coating more resistant to corrosion penetration. To make the sleeve softer in cold weather applications, soak the coupling or fitting in warm water. To make installation easier, you can apply silicon sprays to the inside diameter of the sleeve. Do not use threadless fittings with PVC-coated RMC or intermediate metal conduit (IMC).
Even when following recommended installation practices, the PVC coating will sometimes get damaged during installation. This destroys the coating protection and provides for entry of corrosive elements. Patch the damaged areas as per the raceway manufacturers' instructions.
If using expansion joints in PVC-coated conduit systems, it's recommended that you install an external bonding jumper. Generally, this will require you to remove a portion of the PVC coating from the conduit where the jumper will be attached. Once you install the jumper, you must then repair the surrounding coating with touch-up compound provided by the manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Several PVC-coated conduit manufacturers now offer formal installer certification for contractors who install coated conduit systems. Because manufacturers recognize the importance of a proper installation, many offer this training at no cost. Attending such a session will help prepare you deliver provide the best installation possible.

Love on the Rocks
I buy all my muu-muus at second-hand stores (can you believe people are donating these delights? Donating by the dozens! Their loss, our gain!). If you want to amass a vibrant collection like mine, all you have to do is start looking. With a wish and a solemn prayer, you too can have muu-muus of all sizes and colors. Like maroon, for example.
Muu muu shots taken by the living doll,
your friend and mine, Haley Ann Warner
in St. George Utah
p.s. I am helping get the word out about a camp for teenagers that teaches hard work and service called the Birch Creek Service Ranch. My efforts are somewhat selfish because I want to keep it around for my children. Read about it here.

First, I think you're gorgeous. Second, I love the photos. Third, where is your other arm in the second photo?? I've spent way too much time this morning trying to figure out how you're posed to make your arm look like it's missing.. Please end my wondering.
Much love!

Man! I have been looking for a place like this for my kids. I missed the age limited by a hair. If you ever hear of a service camp that includes 16 year olds, let me know. I think this would be more beneficial that a week at EFY. Just sayin.

Me encanta y es mentira que te vez como una vaca, lo importante es como te sientas y si es comodo, me encanta tu look, pero aqui en Colombia te dirian: estas embarazada si te pones uno de esos, ademas que creo que ni lo encontrarias, por que aqui las gorditas no tienen derecho a tener ropa linda, por que todo es en tallas pequeñas y no hay tiendas de segunda mano donde la ropa este en buen estado, pero sigo diciendo que adoro tu look.
Un gran abrazo

Your muu-muus are hideous but hilarious. You though are not hideous...you are gorgeous in all your shots even though you are wearing hideous muu-muus.
My mother in law bought me a muu-muu for my bridal shower when I was 23. I was like...'no way in h.e.double hockey sticks am I wearing this thing' but smiled graciously while opening the gift. My poor husband would think that he married his mom. My mom and I secretly returned it the very next day. And that is MY muu-muu story.

"can you believe people are donating these delights? Donating by the dozens"
Yes. Because they are hideous and not doing anybody any favors.
- March 09, 2011
I'm cracking up! Mu mus are fashionable? Hilarious!!! Goodness, just go to the hardware store and tie a plastic curtain (maroon!) around yourself and take the same shots.
Courtney, you're pretty and photogenic regardless - but you don't need to prove that you can make wearing a tent look good!
A tent!
This is just too funny.
Throwing in the towel are we?
What not inspire to have a waist?
Poor Chup! What a vision... A sexless vision....
Oh dear, this is just too funny

Um - clearly Courtney has embraced the un-sexy-ness of the muumuu and is owning it. The entire muumuu series is a bit tongue in cheek - are there really people out there that are not getting that?

I have fond memories of Muu Muus. My mom wore them all the time. I hated them when she wore them, but now that I am in my nifty-fifties I would love to wear them. There comes an age when comfort outdoes style. Love the pics!

Love these pictures! My son was looking over my shoulder while I was reading this, and said - is that you mommie?? Where were you? And I had to tell him it wasn't me, but he still didn't believe me!

Midwest Living Review
Whether you come for the massive indoor water park, the outdoor water park, the kids' activities or the African-theme amenities, your visit to Kalahari Resort will clearly be family centric. The sheer size of this resort (there are 884 guest rooms) is a little overwhelming, but every aspect is designed to appeal to kids -- and the adults who bring the credit cards. The indoor water park is touted as the nation's largest. Among the 28 rides there's something for just about every age and level of adventurousness. We especially enjoyed the Flow Rider surfing attraction, which our family had never experienced at other water parks. Our only quibble with the indoor park: the layout was confusing and signage was hard to find and follow. That made it tricky to locate family members. The outdoor water park is less complex, and still offers plenty of water fun. They've also recently added a zip line ride that frames the outdoor area, a challenging ropes course and an interaction area with African animals. All three of these attractions cost extra. As do other amenities, such as the arcade (which you have to walk through the enter the water park), the photo op with baby tiger cubs, the spa, the pottery-painting gallery and shops. With a more than a half-dozen restaurants on-site, the resort offers plenty of eating options -- from informal by-the-pool grilles to nicer eateries or room service. But be sure to try the pizza at least once. It's delicious, and affordably feeds a family. The folks who founded Kalahari (now a three-location chain) started out with a pizza joint. When you taste the pizza you won't be surprised that it netted the founders enough success to establish this resort.

Strange hatred against the game.
I played both Maple Story and WonderKing for several months and I'd also say that gameplay-wise WonderKing is much better than MapleStory. Alone because of jump, double jump and dash. WonderKing offers ways to actually dodge damage, this isn't really possible in MapleStory. In MS you usually just spam skills so the monsters don't reach you, there is no dodging at all. Also the minigames in WonderKing are really fun and there are plenty. Even though WonderKing is like 10 times smaller than MapleStory it has like 10 times more minigames.
It isn't better in all aspects, though. MapleStory has more exploration (WonderKing is really linear). MapleStory also has the better OST, but the WK OST isn't bad.
While I'm happy WonderKing comes back I probably won't give it a second try unless they change the following:
1. More inventory room for non-paying players (I bought inventory bags back then but I don't want to buy them a second time).
2. Faster leveling (it really was too grindy back then).
Currently playing :Grand Fantasia(yet again...)

Well for me leveling was slow, I did all the quests available and even if I was done with them I still needed to get 40% exp for the next level. Getting the last 40% always took me one or two hours and it was boring because there aren't so many different places to access on the same level. And the death penalty was pretty high I think 3% or 5%?Wat. r u sure u played WK? I had a onrpg guild there and a good portion made it to engame, which is big, since a lot of people here are game hoppers... heres a vid of my warlock getting 1% a min at level 125... get outta here with that.
Game needs at least 2x exp for me to play it again. Especially now that I know all the content from level 1-50. If I can't rush to 50, no point in playing it again.
Obviously that isn't for everyone though, some like questing to level games, some of us like fighting to level games.

Can't link to the actual thread but go there, go to General Chat, and "THINGS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR WK"
Grats to the dedicated group who are WK loyalists and pushed to get the game back into the english market.
Looking forward to trying it out.. Looks much more appealing compared to MS tbh.

The Waylon Jennings Years at KLLL (Part Six) The Day The Music Died
by JR
posted Apr 17 2014 3:42PM
Start at the beginning here:
Part One
Well, we've reached the point in the story we all knew was coming, but it's sad again all the same. Here is Sky, with Part Six, The Day The Music Died-
At KLLL, Lubbock, to the best of my recollection, we didn't hear directly from Waylon Jennings or Buddy Holly during the month of January, 1959...except for the brief good-byes in my office on January lst as they prepared to leave for "Noo Yawk City". We filled Waylon's deejay slot with Terry Belyeu (pronounced Ballew) my buddy and fellow deejay from early '57 at KLVT, Levelland. It was he who had brought Waylon to my attention almost two years earlier. We missed Waylon, though Terry did a fine job. He'd been working at a Lubbock pop station the previous year or so and was a much smoother, more professional deejay than Waylon...but not as colorful and unpredictable. The weekly 15 minute program broadcast from Morris Fruit and Vegetable Market which Waylon had been doing with "Hi-Pockets" Duncan, and on which Buddy had guested, continued with my brother and partner, Ray "Slim" Corbin doing the singing accompanied by his own rhythm guitar as Waylon had done. "Slim's" music, like Terry's deejaying, was actually technically better than Waylon's.. but maybe not quite as interesting. Waylon said, even after he hit the top, "Slim taught me to sing, man!". That was an exaggeration, but Waylon did manage to sound very much like "Slim" on many of his biggest records, which probably hampered "Slim's" own quest for stardom, as Monument, and then Columbia recording artist Ray Corbin in the late 60's and early 70's. I believe Buddy's Dad, L.O. Holley, who was a frequent coffee or lunch companion, probably gave us a status report on "Our Men in New York".
February 3, l959...THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED....began as just another morning at KLLL. At 11:l5, a record ended and I told my audience something like "Let's go out to Morris Fruit and Vegetable Market, where "Slim" and Hi-Pockets are waiting with a few songs and a lot of exciting news from the wonderful world of fruits and vegetables (and, borrowing a phrase from the Grand Ol' Opry) Let 'er go boys, let 'er go!" "Slim" and his guitar came on strong with one of our home-made jingles, "From th' garden spots around th' world, right into your home...at Morris Fruit and Vegetable, you just can't go wrong...." And he probably followed with his perfect imitation of the famous hillbilly laugh made famous by Ferlin Husky's alter-ego Simon Crum, whom the older fans will remember.) Hi-Pockets came on with his commercial pitch and invitation to the public to "Come on down!" I was now at liberty to leave my chair between the turntables and in front of the mixing console, stretch my legs... maybe go down the hall to the "little boys' room"...check with the secretary/receptionist to see if I had any important phone calls, check the UPI teletype to see if there was any hot news...The first headline I saw as I rolled the newscopy from the machine...ROCK AND ROLL STARS DEAD IN IOWA PLANE CRASH. and my heart pounded and my knees went weak as I read the item. "Buddy Holly and his band died early this morning when their small plane crashed soon after taking off from Clear Lake, Iowa..."
Reluctantly returning to the control room and my microphone, I did my duty. I interrupted the broadcast from Morris Fruit and Vegetable. "Slim...Hi-Pockets...I'm very sorry to break in, but I have something here
that won't wait. Brace yourselves for some sad news." And I read the item just as it had come over the wire. There was a few seconds of silence, and, Hi asked, "Sky, did we lose Buddy AND Waylon?" "Is Waylon's name in the story?", Slim inquired. I said, "No, Waylon's name is not mentioned, but it DOES say "Buddy Holly and his band...so...I would assume Buddy and Waylon are both gone." "Well, we can't continue this program, Sky, so we're coming back to the station", Hi said. Buddy's death had just been announced on the little radio show on which he had sung...for a Coke...just a month or so earlier.And Waylon's demise had just (erroneously) been announced on the same show...on which he'd been a regular for the past few months. But, that's not the end of my part of that unforgettable day.
The phones were "ringing off the wall". Apparently we were the first station to broadcast the tragic news. We may have been the only UPI station in town at that time, and A. P. may not have released it yet. The Secretary commented that we certainly have a lot of listeners...and they were all calling. The local newspaper and several other radio stations called, too. Then, about two hours after I'd broken the news, the secretary/receptionist came to the control room window and motioned for me to pick up the phone.
And she had a big smile on her face...which I thought strange under the circumstances. "Sky, this is Waylon", said the subdued voice on the phone. Being a deejay, I responded with, "Waylon, WHERE are you callin' from?!" "Fargo, North Dakota. We lost Buddy, but I'm okay. The Bopper talked me out of my seat on the plane. He was about sick and was uncomfortable on that cold, crummy bus. I was havin' a good time keepin' warm singin' Hank Williams songs for Dion and the Belmonts...and I'm about half afraid of flyin', so....anyway, Mom heard you read that on the air and thought I was dead until I called Littlefield just a few minutes ago." I was stunned and very embarrassed...and more than a little angry. It is, of course, standard procedure for news of a death to be held until the families have been notified. I assumed this had been done, else it wouldn't have been on the teletype. That was, and is, a responsibility of the authorities. It had been about l0 hours since the crash and several hours since the plane and the bodies had been found. I, of course, apologized and Waylon assured me that his family would understand. We lost no time letting the listeners know that Waylon had NOT been on the fatal flight. I believe I talked to him on the air, but I'm not certain. As most music fans know, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. (Big Bopper) Richardson and the young Iowa pilot had been the actual victims of the crash. Valens had ended up with the seat originally intended for Buddy's guitar player, Tommy Allsup.
A few minutes later, "Slim" said, "Sky, we ought to go and extend our condolences to the Holleys". I agreed, but I surely did dread it, as did "Slim". To lose a son would be a crushing blow under any circumstances, and the Holleys were very proud and supportive of their famous, talented son and
his music. When we arrived, not surprisingly, there were several cars in the driveway and along the street. Already there were Jerry (J. I.) Allison and Joe B. Mauldin (the Crickets) with whom Buddy had split, but they were still friends; Sonny Curtis, one of Buddy's musician friends, then a new member of the Crickets; the Holley's pastor, Dr. Ben Johnson of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, and a few others. We were greeted warmly. Mrs. Holley (Ella) said something about how helpful it was to have the support of Buddy's friends. Then she turned to me and quietly asked, "Sky, do you know how we heard about Buddy?" Nodding toward Dr. Johnson, I said, "I would assume and hope your Pastor came and told you." But I had a sudden sinking feeling. "We were just about to leave for the grocery store", she said "I was in the car and I told Lawrence that we'd left the radio on. He went back in and had just reached for the off-button when he heard you say you had some bad news. He waited and heard it, and came out to the car and told me." "Oh no!", I said. "I know Waylon's folks got the word from me, but it really never entered my mind that YOU hadn't been notified either! I'm so sorry!" Mr. Holly said, "Oh, that's all right, Sky, don't worry about it." Mrs. Holly said, "We had just as soon hear it from you...one of Buddy's friends...as anyone." It was amazing and a relief to see how composed and in-control they were that afternoon.
Some fans may wonder about my account, since a version attributed to Mrs. Holly has a friend calling to ask her why all the stations were playing Buddy's records and Mrs. Holly's turning on the radio and hearing the tragic news. If Mrs. Holly told the story that way, she must have been relating a dream. I have also been told that a well-known deejay who was in Lubbock then (at another station) cast himself in my role during a broadcast in a different city years later. Fact is, in Lubbock, Texas in 1959, out of respect for Buddy and his family, any station or individual deejay who played even one of Buddy's recordings that day after the news came out would have been accused of bad taste and worse manners. Believe it or not, that's the way it was back then. I'm almost positive none of the Lubbock radio stations were playing Buddy's records that day...not after 11:30!
At KLLL, we held Buddy's records until after the funeral. Then we played them a lot. He'd strongly supported KLLL during the few months we'd been operating the station. We didn't play promotional jingles touting KLLL again for years.
During his last trip home, we'd talked to Buddy about doing a show in Lubbock. He had done none since his ascent to stardom. He didn't believe he could pull an auditorium crowd in his home town. We convinced him that, if he did bomb in his home town, he surely wouldn't be the first. We'd add to the show the other young local talent (Sonny Curtis, Terry Noland, Jimmie Peters and the Four Teens, Niki Sullivan, Hope Griffith, and of course Waylon) who had made records, and we'd have a great time and spotlight the young "stars" whether we had a big crowd or not. "Okay! We'll do it early next summer!", he promised. I've always wondered how the show would have done. The old adage, "A prophet is without honor in his own country" certainly applies to entertainers. Ask almost any of them. You must become a super star before you're a minor star at home, in most cases. Buddy's frequent presence in Lubbock in l958 at the peak of his career caused little or no excitement, no newspaper or TV interviews, and, though his funeral in l959 was well-attended, it was not the huge event one would assume. He was just a "local boy doing pretty good in the music business." I'm certain no fans requested an autograph or approached him during our coffee breaks and lunches at the Top of the Plains Restaurant down the hall from KLLL, or the bowling alley or other places we went. But, come to think of it, I can remember drinking coffee or eating lunch at the restaurant with many celebrities, and very rarely did anyone approach our table or even acknowledge Jimmy Dean, Charley Pride, the Everly Brothers, Bob Wills, Webb Pierce, etc etc. Lubbock was that kinda town...cool,calm and collected and hard to "shake up", though almost everyone in the area loved country and rock-and-roll music. In fact, several top artists FROM OTHER PLACES enjoyed much of their early success in the Lubbock area, but no local talent..
And, being a "local yokel", it would be at least a decade into his major-label career before WAYLON could pull a crowd in Lubbock. More about that later.
Holly's funeral was held on February 7, 1959, at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock.

Libyan rebels backed by the Obama administration and NATO governments committed a wide range of war crimes, including, in one case, summarily executing and torturing dozens of prisoners of war, possibly including strongman Muammar Gadhafi and his son, the non-profit group Human Rights Watch said in a newly released report. The new Western-backed government ruling parts of Libya out of Tripoli, meanwhile, has failed to investigate or prosecute the well-documented abuses.
The latest 58-page report, dubbed Death of a Dictator: Bloody Vengeance in Sirte, highlights new evidence indicating that the former despot and members of his convoy were brutalized and executed by rebel forces in violation of the laws of war. After being hit with NATO missiles while attempting to flee, the Libyan strongman and his men were captured by opposition fighters and placed under "total control." Then they were killed.
"The evidence suggests that opposition militias summarily executed at least 66 captured members of Gaddafi's convoy in Sirte," said emergencies director Peter Bouckaert with New York-based Human Rights Watch, adding that the ex-despot's son was apparently executed as well. "It also looks as if they took Mutassim Gaddafi, who had been wounded, to Misrata and killed him there. Our findings call into question the assertion by Libyan authorities that Muammar Gaddafi was killed in crossfire, and not after his capture."
As The New American reported at the time, suspicions about whether Gadhafi had been unlawfully executed and even sodomized after his capture were running rampant. More than a few entities, including the budding Libyan regime, pledged to investigate or called for a proper investigation. That apparently never happened.
The Libyan "National Transitional Council" (NTC) — comprised largely of Islamic extremists, former regime officials, and others — insisted repeatedly that the dictator had been killed in the crossfire amid a desperate battle. However, it now appears almost certain that, as suspected, he was actually killed by rebels after being subdued. That would be a violation of due process and the laws of war, according to experts.
Human Rights Watch also reported that Gadhafi was stabbed in the buttocks with a bayonet before being executed. His son, who was also captured alive, was taken to another city and appeared on camera. Not long after that, he was found dead with a wound across his throat that was not previously visible in the film.

Governor Jay Nixon (shown in photo) declared his independence from the Missouri state legislature on July 5 by vetoing a bill passed overwhelmingly by that body.
With the issuing of a terse, constitutionally confused letter, Nixon notified the secretary of state of Missouri that he refused his assent to HB 436 and why he made that decision. HB 436 was titled the "Second Amendment Preservation Act" and would have denied to the federal government the authority to enact any statutes, rules, regulations, or executive orders "which restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition exclusively within the borders of Missouri."
Now, one supposes, the federal government is free to impose its unconstitutional control of the God-given right to keep and bear arms within the formerly sovereign borders of the Show Me State.
In fairness, though, Nixon cannot be blamed too harshly for vetoing the bill. The constitution of the state of Missouri separates the state government into three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. In similar fashion to the federal Constitution, the Missouri constitution balances the powers of government, checking one against the others so that no one branch "shall exercise any power properly belonging to either of the others."
In light of that fact of constitutional construction of the Missouri charter, Nixon was within his rights to reject the Second Amendment Preservation Act, regardless of the level of legislative support the measure enjoyed.
Going forward, the true test of the state legislature's commitment to the principles set forth in HB 436 will be whether it can muster the will to exercise another article of the state constitution: Article III, Section 32.
That provision of the state constitution provides that if two-thirds of both houses of the general assembly vote to pass the bill, "the objections of the governor thereto notwithstanding," then the bill becomes law, regardless of the veto.

Summer is fun and busy! Lots going on, and much of it has nothing at all to do with knitting.
I wish I could take credit for that glorious piece of knitting, but it is NOT my knitting. It's my Mom's! She's working on a little log cabin (Joseph's Blankie of Many Colors) using Cotton Classic and it is so much better in person I can't even tell you. I took some photos for her when we visited her at the beach this past week. It was hot and fun, and the perfect way to celebrate Jerry being done with school for the year.
Thanks for a great week, Mom!
Today we had a great day celebrating Father's Day. We took a little hike down in the woods where my husband grew up. I'm so glad I grabbed my camera because the dapple of light through the trees made for some great shots.
That's my camera shy husband! Gotcha!
To top off the great day, Elinor announced the winners of her Socks Revived Design Contest and I won! I tied for 4th/5th place! And what great company I'm in. If you are a sock knitter, you must check out all 52 entries. There is a staggering variety of patterns, both free and for-sale. I'd list my favorites, but I pretty much like them all.
Hopefully I'll be back soon to share some of my own knitting. I hope you're all enjoying summer as much as we are!
