I have been gone for the past week, but it only took a few turns to remind me just how good the conditions are. The coverage and quality of snow has stayed consistently wonderful. I started my day off with some GS turns on Upper Rumrunner and Black Snake. I had a blast carving through the fresh corduroy. I also really enjoyed exploring the glades on Madonna and Sterling in search of powder turns with some good friends. The great part was that I did not feel like I had to rush to get the good line before someone else, because there is plenty to go around. We all had so much fun playing on the many natural features that Smuggs has to offer. Pictured here is Pat doing just that! For tomorrow we plan to have top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with all 78 trails open and 7 lifts operating, including the Madonna I lift. 32 trails will be groomed for Friday, including Smugglers' Alley, Snow Snake, and Drifter for a grand total of 170 acres. The Après Sport at the Black Bear Tavern is sponsored by Bud Light this weekend. On Saturday ON3P skis will be demoing their handmade skis from Portland, OR for one day only at the Base Lodge. Also on Saturday come join Boston Radio 92.9's Rock & Ride at Smuggs in the Black Bear Lounge from 2 pm till 4 pm. You could win over $1,000 in free music, concert tickets, lift tickets, winter gear and even a pair of skis or a snowboard. The 2015 Extreme Skiing Challenge is this Sunday, March 8th being hosted by the Smugglers' Notch Ski and Snowboard Club. The course is planned for the Madonna headwall and competitors will be judged on line, control, fluidity, technique and style. Spectators are welcome and the best viewing area is from the Madonna I lift. Spectators can also catch the action from a roped off area at the Red Fox Glades near the finish area at the base of the Madonna headwall.
Black Snake
Black & White Black Snake
Black Snake
We are 100 percent open with top to bottom skiing and riding on all 3 mountains with all 78 trails open. We have received 31 inches on new snow in the past week The conditions are just fantastic. Today I was lucky enough to take a run with my wife Harley pictured here. We did her favorite run which is Hangman's Drop to Chute to Black Snake to Harvey's Hideaway to Full Nelson to Half Nelson.
Get in the Zone
Today was absolutely beautiful with the sunshine and milder temperatures. Today we had the local races on Practice Slope. I went to the top of Sterling with my race board to take a warm up run before racing. I had a great time carving up the corduroy on Black Snake. We had two races today because we had to cancel one race due to 18 inches of snow in 24 hours that we received on Valentine's Day. I went to the Zone Terrain Park after I finished my race runs. It was fun to watch the skier pictured here floating through the air, while making his tricks look smooth and easy.
Jacob finds a powder stash on Madonna
This is my nephew Jacob who is visiting from Georgia. I had so much fun today giving him a tour of Madonna and Sterling. We did a warm up run on Upper Chilcoot. We stopped at Dan's Ford and noticed that it only had a couple of tracks on it. We decided to put a few more tracks on it. We were riding up the Sterling lift and I asked Jacob if he had ever been out to Sterling Pond. He said that he had not, so we made it our next stop. We skied Black Snake next and headed to the balcony. The balcony is the lookout that is in the woods behind the race start building. It's a wonderful view of the notch.

About Jessica Seinfeld, we know this: she likes to cook (see: Doitdelicious.com), she has a really good bob (see: multiple party photos), and she's the founder of an amazing charity called Baby Buggy (which provides essential clothing, gear and services to families in need). Now, we can add "expert high-lo dresser" to that list.
Yesterday, at Bergdorf Goodman's brand new Burberry women's store—where she hosted a Baby Buggy fundraiser alongside Lucky's editor-in-chief, Brandon Holley—the mother of three revealed her go-to summer essentials. "I'm not buying a lot of clothes these days," she said. "I'm really trying to use what's in my closet and update it with great accessories, like this Burberry clutch. Oh, and I love jewelry that you know not everyone is wearing. I like when it's less expensive, but more original and unique." (She's a huge fan of accessories designer Eddie Borgo.)
While she might love a Burberry trench (and shoes, and bag—see awesome outfit at left), she also likes to throw on casual accessories. "Madewell makes great scarves," she said. "But I just pick scarves up wherever. I feel like you end up finding much more interesting things when you're traveling."
The morning shopping spree was certainly for a good cause—a portion of the store sales benefited Baby Buggy—but we also learned that Hamptons moms like a bargain or two. Refreshing, to say the least.

|Purpan Student Jade Maurin Writes About KBS Experience
|KBS News
|Tuesday, 30 October 2012 12:17
Jade Maurin and Marie Denizot, students from Purpan University in Toulouse, France, completed internships at the Kellogg Biological Station this past summer. Jade completed her internship at the KBS Dairy, working with Dr. Santiago Utsumi and his lab. Marie completed her internship working for the Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) program with Dr. Julie Doll and Stacey Vanderwulp.
For the past few years, KBS has hosted interns from Purpan University, an agricultural school that requires that students complete study-abroad internships as part of the university's academic program.
The following is a summary of Jade's experience at KBS:
The end of my second year of University points the beginning of a new experience, a three month internship abroad in an English speaking country.
My friend Marie Denizot and I study at Ecole d'Ingenieurs de PURPAN in the city of Toulouse, in France.
Ecole d'Ingenieurs de PURPAN is a Graduate School of Agriculture and related industries with a 5-year Master's Degree program. At the end of our second year, we are required to go abroad to work on a farm, laboratory or similar institution linked to farm product, food or nature.
Purpan's Internship Abroad Program has been in place since 1985 and every year sends approximately 200 students abroad. The objectives of the internship are to give us an experience in farming, research or industry in a foreign environment, but most of all to discover another culture. This internship is an opportunity for us to live in another country and is a good way to learn the language.
After spending three months on a French farm at the end of my first year of University, I wanted to experience working at a research station. I am very interested in biology and all things related to nature. I had never worked at research center before, and I was very curious to learn how it worked and if I could go on with this interest after I graduate. I found out about the W. K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) because of the partnership KBS and MSU has with my school. This is the third year that students from PURPAN have worked at KBS in the summer. I find it wonderful that KBS develops programs for students and encourages them to set up their own research.
The Kellogg Biological Station was the perfect place for us to be: the close proximity of natural and managed habitats makes it ideal to experience lab and field work. I worked with Dr. Santiago Utsumi, a professor in Animal Science. His research program focuses on the foraging behavior of dairy cattle at the KBS Dairy Farm. Marie was mentored by Dr. Julie Doll and Stacey Vanderwulp from the Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) program. This program looks at the ecology of agriculture, helping us to understand how agriculture impacts the environment.
Both of us got to experience working in a lab team, talking to graduate and undergraduate students, and learning more about KBS research. We have worked both in the field and in the lab, for instance, we learned how to take gas samples, sort plants, and use GPS equipment in the field.
We also had a chance to attend some conferences about ecology. KBS is doing a great job to spread their knowledge and expertise with students and other scientists. They have many events, like research seminars, during the week that I got to participate to.
Through the month of July, we lived at KBS with other students from Michigan State University and other colleges. It allowed us to make friends and we got to travel around the state with them during the weekends and experience the American culture.
This experience helped me realize that research is not something you can do all by yourself; it is very important to work in a team and to gather the knowledge of everyone.
What I will remember most about KBS is all the people I worked with. Everyone has been very nice and helpful. I have also been lucky enough to have a mentor who quickly trusted me, which is highly motivating for a young undergraduate student.
It was a wonderful summer.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
Aji Taro offers many appetizers and entree (a la carte) selections including tempura, teriyaki, sushi and sashimi. All you can eat available for $14.95 (lunch / late night + $1.00 on weekend) and $18.95 (dinner).
Open 7 days a week: Monday to Friday: 5:00 pm to 2:00 am and Saturday, Sunday and Holidays: 11:30 am to 2:00 am.
It's been about 2yrs or so since I've had all-you-can-eat sushi, and months going since I had sushi. I could've done without eating late but a hungry friend and gf pressured me in. Thought we would give this restaurant a try considering the late night.
It wasn't particularly busy when we walked through at around 10:30pm on a Sunday. We were seated immediately and picked out all the common AYCE dishes. The dishes came out quick and all the hot dishes came out hot, and all the cold dishes came out cold. Other than the 2 wings where the meat looked like it had suffered some prior freezer burn and tasted "old" and the bland peanut sauce for the Go-Mae, it was fine from chopstick to stomach. The teapot was refilled several times though it was tepid rather than hot.
Contrary to many prior reviews I thought the service was satisfactory. There were waitresses continually walking back and forth clearing out our empty dishes. They named every dish that came to the table and set it down nicely. Polite too with what looked to be the female manager, who told us to take our time after giving us the bill.
The decor is typical where it would leave you mildly bored.
Decent enough, though from all indications, it's probably better to dine here when it isn't busy.
I was on my way back from a quick business trip to Calgary and I needed sushi as an antidote for my visit to the redneck ramparts. Mrs. C and some friends picked me up at YVR and suggested sushi. We went to AT only because it was the first one we saw.
The place looked nice enough, and we were seated right away, but the server seemed to be on a mission to annoy. Examples: I asked for water, and was told I wouldn't like the water there, since the recent snow had caused black spots in the water. She suggested I buy mineral water. "Wait a minute", I said, "You just poured us tea. That has water, right?" She had no answer. Later I asked what kind of beer was on tap. She did not know what that was, so I explained. I was then told Asahi beer was the best beer, so I didn't need this other kind of beer. After a bit of back and forth I gave up and had my tea. It wasn't a language issue, since the server spoke English like a native and she understood Cantonese when it was spoken to her. It was like she wanted to be a jerk.
We skipped the AYCE and ordered a selection of sushi and sashimi. The sushi was non-lethal, except for the spicy tuna roll, which was too hot to be eaten, and seemed to have been made with spoiled fish. We left that one behind. The rest of the sushi all looked like it was not very fresh. In this town we expect a high standard from sushi places, and this restaurant didn't come close. We reluctantly ate our food, but in the parking lot all we joked about food poisoning. So it's fair to say it was not the best dining experience for all concerned. Will I be back? Not a chance.
Not recommended.
I understand that you can't be too picky when dining at a restaurant that offers so much food for so little money. But seriously, what this place serves is an insult to its customers. When I came here with my boyfriend and family, 3 of 4 of us got sick afterwards. I'm sure they don't practice food safe. Leaving everything room temperature until ready to serve is not right. Triple deep-frying does not taste good and can't be good the body either.
Servers/cashiers are rude. Don't know why I've been here twice, but I will never return. For $20/person, I'd rather eat less, but eat well.
Food: although AYCE places all tend to be the same, this place was just not as good. Gomae was not that great, salad had big clumps of the stem and everything else was just standard. I also found the menu to be quite limited.
Service: Waited for quite some time at the door before being acknowledged. Servers hard to flag down. At least I didn't have to bus my own table though!
Ambiance: Like any other AYCE/chinese-owned place. Nothing special.
For the price I paid and the food I received I would say this place is not worth it to return to and will continue to scour the lower mainland for a great AYCE place to go to!
Aji taro used to be a great AYCE sushi restaurant and we went there often. A few months ago we went there on a busy night at about 8ish and were seated in the corner on the right side of the restaurant. We ordered AYCE and about 20% of our first round order arrived after 15-20 minutes. After that, nothing else came. We tried to get the attention of the waitress, but nobody ever seemed to even come near our table due to it's location in the far corner. After waiting about an hour, we managed to get one waitress to come to our table. We decided to just re-order everything and put in a second round of orders. After waiting another 20 minutes or so, nothing came. We asked the same waitress to check on the food and she said it was coming. This went on several times and no food showed up. Finally one of us had to go so we all decided to leave. This was about 2 hours later.. The cashier knew of our situation because she said a quick "sorry", but still stuck us with the full bill. We were all still hungry, so I was quite angry that they're making us pay the full AYCE price. However because my friend had to leave, we didn't bother arguing with them. This is the only time in my dining out experience where I did not leave a tip.
The food at Aji Taro is not terrible, but unfortunately we didn't get to eat much of it, and we won't be returning to this restaurant.
I am not going to lie, I have been to Aji Taro in the past and didn't have such an unpleasant experience as the reviewers here described. So I decided to give it a second shot the other night.
I usually don't have such high standards for food, especially AYCE, but this time around Aji Taro disappointed. I went like at 10 pm and the food was extremely bland. The gyoza was a joke, and the portions of salmon and tuna nigiri were tiny and tasted old. When I asked the waiter about the freshness of the ingredients, she simply didn't respond (although she clearly heard me).
I think what continues to draw people to it is its late hours. If it were not for the fact that it is open until late (2 am), I don't think many would go. Better go to somewhere else and get good quality sushi for the same price.
I probably eat here once every year, and the food quality has decreased overtime.
This will probably be my last visit.
We chose the 23.95 all you can eat package, and tried out their toro/hamachi sashimis. Not fresh at all. The salmon/tuna/hokkigai were at it's usual acceptable freshness. Ordering the kitchen items were worse, their tempura was definitely re-fried. There was basically two layers of the batter, one soggier than the other and the yam/veggies/prawns weren't even piping hot. Another item which was recommended to order was their barbecue squid, when it came it was hard and the sauce was cold. I would say the only items that turned out decent was their mango california roll and their unagi sushi. When we turned around to check the sushi kitchen, we saw trays and trays of rolls pre-made which made my stomach turn because i had a few of those pre-made rolls.
Sometimes people say we can't expect much from AYCE places, but with 23.95, I can probably go to Richmond sushi or another restaurant that serves regular menus.
This place inside was quite nice inside and pretty neat. The food was great, wide selection. My favourite of the night was their sashimi. They give you decent pieces and it was just tastey enough to make me salivate remembering about it. Nothing seemed at all lacking and the bad reviews really don't make sense to me. The first waitress was a touch rude but I'm guessing it was end of her shift (it was also after 11PM), the next male server was great. I like that they are open until 2AM. I will be def returning :)
i wouldnt mind coming here again, thats if i cant decide where to go. i dont care much about service as long as i get what i ordered. the thing that bugs me is that they dont have toro (my favourite sashimi) but thats ok. Theres nothing much i can say about this place, it's decent.
Went with my girl friend on a saturday night, around 8pm. Surprisingly, half the place was empty! Yet, we still had to stand around the entrance for 5 minute before they could prepare a table for us.
When we finally were seated, they put us right infront of the kitchen at a table that was barely bigger than an A4 poster. I noticed a couple of the bigger tables beside the windows were empty and asked who I believed to be the manager if we could sit at one of those instead. Without thinking, she replied that those tables were all reserved. The restaurant started to fill up after my first order arrived. A young couple came in and asked for a table, and were given the table beside the window that I've asked for earlier. That couple did not have a reservation, because I overheard what they were saying. I understand a lot of places tries to keep bigger tables open for bigger groups and tends to give small parties tables that are barely sufficient. However, lying by saying the tables were reserved when in reality they weren't, is just ridiculous.
Also, we had missing food orders, and the servers were reluctant to serving customers, and were anything but friendly.
The garbage dump is located at the end of the parking lot with the lid openned. Good luck if you have to park beside it. The inside of the restaurant was equally disgusting. Floor was not clean with traces of food everywhere. Seats and counter tops were dusty and sticky. Washroom, well, let's just say, hold it in if you must.
I weren't expecting anything special from an AYCE place, but this one doesn't even try! Most of the hot dishes were over cooked/fried, then left on the counter until cold before it got to me. The protions were small, really small. Sushi were soggy and tasteless. Sashimi were either frozen to solid, or looked like left over scraps.
I used to be a regular customer at Aji Taro couple years back, but will now swear to never go back.
*Please note, my ratings are based on comparison with other AYCE restaurants, 3 being average. If you are for quality of service and food, you should avoid AYCE at any cost and should go to a la carte restaurants.*
After 2 years of absence, I went back to Aji Taro on Wed. night around 10:30. The late night starts at 10pm and open till 2am for $11.95.
As my seat was near the entrance, I was able to watch how the waiter/esses handle the line up. There have been always a line up at least until when I left around 11:30. However, they don't seem to care how long customers wait. They only go talk to the party in front of line, not all parties. I wonder why they don't take names and number in party, so they can just sit down till their name being called.
Here, we fill out an order sheet by yourself. I actually prefer this style over waiter/esses taking orders by their PDA devices, since I can know if my order is too much or too little, and I don't have to take up their time reading each items that I want to order.
My sake (salmon) and maguro (tuna) nigiri were really dry. I saw them making a bunch of them at one time, and covering with wet cloth. I guess sushi has to be made to order, or it gets dry.
The selection of food was better than average, but they tend to be luke warm.
My ocha (tea) was way weak, almost plain hot water. My BBQ ribs and yakitori (chicken skewers) were pretty good, but too bad they were just luke warm. My chopped scallop rolls were good as usual.
Somethings bothered me were that I saw a cigarette package next to sushi plate piles behind the counter... In this restaurants, kichen and counter receive the order by print outs similar to cashier machine. When they deliver the food, I found one of them on top of the noodle bowl, being dipped in yakitori sauce....
After all, it seemed to me Ajitaro is just another average AYCE. Their best feature is staying open very late.
Wow, I must say, this place has went downhill on a slip and slide! The food use to be amazing... and the service was awesome... but now, my friends and I don't dare go. The gyoza sucks! They cut your orders in half and you wait a ton of time just for the first round of orders! I don't go there any more and wont ever go there anymore... I wish that they went back to the way that they use to be....
Went for late night all you can eat a while ago and found the experience to be just alright. I can't really hate on much but I also can't really brag about much. If you're looking for something cheap to eat in vast quantities and don't care about the taste then this is the place for you.
Me and two friends had the most expensive option ($30) of all you can eat. Had we known that we were paying an additional $5 each for a little more than nothing extra item (e.g., a couple of Uni and Oyster), we would have chosen to go with the $20 or $25 menu. When (within 2 minutes) we found out that we were paying extra for almost nothing, we tried to change it but our waiter informed us that it was too late to change. So, preceded with mild disappointment. The Oyster was one of the worst we had in a long time. The salmon sashimi was fresh on the first visit and on a second visit it was not fresh. However, unlike some other all you can eat sushi restaurants, this place doesn't overwhelm the sushi with tons of rice. Overall, the eating experience was just okay.
I went to Aji Taro a few months ago fir the AYCE lunch and the food was decent so I went to again last night with 4 friends. Four of us wanted AYCE and the fifth person just wanted beef teriyaki as he does not like Ethnic food very much. They told us we all had to eat off the same menu. Then the manager came and said yes he can order an entree and sit at the sushi bar till the rest if us where done. So on the off chance he may have had a bite of our all you can eat, they where willing to give up the $100 we would of spent on dinner but we got up and left. Great business sense. Some people need to learn about customer service.
Note this review is measured against AYCE sushi places. I know quality is not as good as a Japanese run place, but this is more than made up with the wide selection ang quantity.
Food - pretty decent AYCE fare. I like the fact teriyaki is served on a hot plate, though it could have a bit more sauce. Sunomono is good, noodles the right texture. Like most places though, they serve the oyter motoyaki on tin foil, which I dislike. Otherwise, not much to complain about.
Service - my partner and I went with the partner's brother and mother. We were there early on a Saturday, and was relatively quiet. I was quite impressed with the service, esp. considering past AYCE experience. All requests were promptly filled, they didn't toss food on the table, but rather served it. There were some smiles, and they even changed our plates. So pretty happy overall.
Value - it's 12.95 + $1 for weekends. This is about 2-3 dollars more than their competitors, yet you don't get more variety. So if there was a complaint about my meal, it would be this.
Ambiance - Overall, pretty clean. Did not get to see washroom, so no comment there.
Summary - one of the better AYCE places. Set your expectations right, and you won't be disappointed.
after dinner with my friends, all of us have a same conclusion: never go back to this place.we don't want to waste our money again. the food and service are poor, they seem not care about this. anyways, we hope they can improve it. only one thing they have a good location to attract people, plus, they use a short name and with letter A started, :-)
I personally don't understand why Aji Taro has such a bad stigma attached to it around Richmond because every time I go there I leave more satisfied than I have with any other AYCE restaurants around town
The service is not the best but I always kind of expect that from AYCE restaurants, I swear a common trick they use is to not bring out 100% of what you ordered in attempts to cut back waste and cost, which is really off-code if you're trying to be an AYCE restaurant...
Nonetheless I'm very impressed by the fact that all teriyaki items come on a sizzling hot plate with delicious veggies on the side; the sashimi is just ok but I love the agadashi tofu
Overall not a bad restaurant to check into for some decent AYCE food
My bf and I just spent alot of money on fine dining the previous night but we were craving for sushi and it was late so we headed to aji taro for late nite AYCE cuz it was still open and relatively cheap. After taking the first bite on my salmon sushi i regretted my decision. Everything was literally groossss. The fish were not fresh at all. The rice for some reasons were DRY like it was leftover rice from yesterday. All i could taste from the agedashi tofu was powdery batter. The gyoza came soggy in a puddle of vinegar. If I was blind folded I wouldnt have known that the spicy salmon was salmon because all I could taste was something that was very spicy. Negitoro cone was not negitoro. It was negi-plain tuna with tiny traces of green onion. Chopped scallop was decent but clearly not too fresh. Fried calamari weirdly did not taste liek calamari...alot softer than expected...tasted like some sort of dough trying to mask as calamari. Short ribs were decent but too fatty. Unagi roll had microscopic pieces of unagi in them and lotsa rice. Oyster motoyaki was very "cute" cuz it was tiny~ had tons of filling but a tiny piece of oyster...and it was lukewarm at most. Miso soup, sunomono, tempura, california roll, dynamite roll and teriyaki chicken was decent. I guess I need not to clarify any further how disappointed I was. I don't like wasting food, but I found myself sitting at a table full of food half eaten and not wanting to put anything else in my mouth even tho I was still hungry. I felt like I wanted to throw up...
In terms of servce I guess it was decent. The manager promptly seated us and was quite polite. At some point during dinner when I was sitting at awe because I didnt know what to do with the food, she came by and asked if everything was ok. I said yes because I didn't want to tell her everything tasted awful. Other servers were bad tho...like they didn't want to be there. No smiles to be found.
Ambience...well the place is dirty. period.
I've given Aji Taro not one, but FOUR chances. Every time I go here, I always leave with a bad experience.I will NEVER go back again!
I went there for dinner today at opening (5PM) with two of my friends. We sat there at our table with only one waitress on the floor. When we were about to order, the waitress was busy talking to the counter cashier. A few minutes later, we got our order sheet.We had a vegetarian among us so she proceeded to order vegetarian friendly sushi. She requested that the vegetarian food be put on a separate plate, away from our non-vegetarian food that we ordered. A few minutes later the manager informs us that THEY USE THE SAME KNIFE AND CUTTING BOARD to prepare veggie and meat food. For those who haven't taken food safe, that's food cross contamination. People can seriously get sick from this. Of course, my friend opted out from eating anything there, while the rest of us proceeded to eat what we ordered.
Food - I ordered a chicken karaage (chicken wing) and it was bright pink inside. (This isn't the first time I've seen pink chicken at Aji Taro). The various sashimi we ordered was NOT fresh at all. It had a weird expired taste to them. The beef teriyaki was burnt beyond recognition and ebi sunomono was just half-*ssed. The sushi was the worst part. The rice was literally falling apart and none of the sushi pieces look like sushi at all! Overall the food quality was very poor.
Service - It was mediocre. Waitress kept on gawking (I mean literally STARING) at our table from afar. It made me feel really uncomfortable.
Value - Definitely not worth the value. The food was so bad that we just ate what we ordered and just left.
Ambiance - Just your typical Japanese restaurant.

Specialization. It's everywhere. Think about it, how did you or the person behind you in line order your coffee this morning? "Grande, soy, dry, cap," sound familiar? What happen to "I'll take a large black coffee"? This type of specialization stretches far beyond your corner coffee shop, I promise!
The chances are that your business has a specialization or a defining factor that separates it from your competitors. Whether this is a product or service, your focus and main objective is to make sure it's better than the rest, right? This is where we come in to play. We want to make sure you get to spend as much time and energy on your product and/or service as humanly possible and less time, energy, and money on worrying about hardware updates or network configurations. This is one of our specialization offerings, Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
So what exactly is IaaS? Traditionally, IT infrastructure has been handled by internal IT departments which requires employees to physically install and configure each component and manage the datacenter or housing required to keep these systems online. This is a huge undertaking that comes at a high cost that will only continue to increase as technology continues to become more complex. IaaS outsources all these moving parts off site to a solutions provider like SingleHop.
There are some obvious benefits to leveraging Infrastructure-as-a-Service:
- Decreased capital expenditures
- Avoid writing big checks or getting into long term datacenter space contracts
- Avoid the internal struggles to receive the appropriate amount of funding for such spending
- Reduce in-house staffing and replace it with an automation platform
On the development and system integrators side of the business, IaaS is a huge strategic edge! Developers are able to spin up and spin down testing environments without again, waiting for a server to be shipped, or waiting for a datacenter tech to rack a server. Instead, they deploy these environments with literally a click of a button. This type if benefit also holds true with scalability…Does the application need more RAM? No problem. Need more disk space, again no problem!
As far as risk goes, there is less risk in temporarily using cloud resources as apposed to dropping thousands of dollars on a server that may not end up working as intended. At SingleHop, we utilize our own cloud infrastructure in these same ways. Developers are able to deploy test environments without even talking or requesting something through our tech or infrastructure teams. It is a huge time and money saver!
IaaS is growing in popularity because of its importance to the bottom line of nearly ever business. I can't actually think of a single business, whether in technology or not, that could not benefit from IaaS. Currently 24% of large enterprises with cloud experience are already using IaaS, and an additional 37% are expected to adopt it within the next 2 years. With the continuation of specialization across every industry, it's important to leverage others' specialization while improving your own. After all, if your company manufactures widgets, you work on your widgets while we work on your IT infrastructure.

Most Christian leaders sense that there should be something different about our leadership than what is offered in the secular marketplace, but we're not always sure what that is.
Spiritual leadership emerges from the soul of usthat place where God's spirit and my spirit commune. This kind of leadership is not about roles and titles within organizational hierarchies; it has to do with our desire and ability to recognize and respond to the presence of God. It depends on our willingness to lead from a place of communion with him.
Spiritual leadership flows from the leader seeking after God through spiritual disciplines. Solitude and silence are two such disciplines that enable us to experience a place of authenticity and invite God to meet us. In them, we are rescued from relentless human striving so that we can experience the life of the Spirit. We give up control and allow God to be God in our lives rather than being a thought in our heads or an illustration in a sermon. We listen for the still, small voice of God telling us who we really are so that we are not enslaved by the demands and expectations of life in leadership.
There can be no compromise. Those who look to us for leadership need us to be spiritual seekers. They need us to keep searching for the bread of life that feeds our souls so that we can guide them to places of sustenance. Rather than offering the cold stone of past devotionals, regurgitated apologetics, or someone else's musings, we must offer bread that is warm from the oven of our own intimacy with God.
The choice to lead from the soul is a vulnerable approach. It means I am leading from a tender place where I do not have all the answers. It is radical because the wisdom of God is foolishness to this ...

Dethroning Moment: Yu-Gi-Oh!
With this being a long-running franchise about a children's card game, it was only a matter of time before they had just activated the dethroning card. Keep in mind:
- Sign your entries
- One moment per work to a troper, if multiple entries are signed to the same troper the more recent one will be cut.
- Moments only, no "just everything he said, " "The entire show, " or "This entire season, " entries.
- No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
- No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
- Explain why it's a Dethroning Moment Of Suck.
- No Real Life examples, including Executive Meddling. That is just asking for trouble.
- No ALLCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.
- Demetrios: While I admittedly enjoyed the unpopular DOMA/Atlantis arc of Yu-Gi-Oh!, there was one part I wouldn't blame my fellow fans fans for not liking. When Mai was corrupted by the Orichalcos and Joey was understandably heartbroken about it, Tristan basically told Joey to, pardon my French, go fuck himself. Well, actually, he didn't quite say it that way, but he seemed to be trying to convince Joey as if Mai was pure evil and thus not worth saving. Note that under the circumstances, that isn't quite the same as telling your friend something important without sugarcoating it. That's just nasty and mean-spirited. I know people weren't too keen on Tea's friendship speeches, but isn't that going a little too far?
- LLSmoothJ: Speaking of Joey, the KaibaCorp Grand Prix treats him even worse as he becomes the butt of a joke based on a card in Yugi's deck (which even his friends laugh about). Even worse, in the tournament, his decline continues as he loses within the second round (I know it was to the Big Bad of this arc, but still, Joey was supposed to have become incredibly strong post Battle City, and the arc's Big Bad wasn't the kind of person who should be flooring him that easily) of the tournament (he won the first round against Yugi's Grandpa, which may bring up a debate whether he let him win or not). It's bad enough he was already made into the Krillin of Yu-Gi-Oh, but now the Yamcha as well? Make you wonder if Joey's treatment is to pander to Kaiba's fanbase. Protip, writers: When you make a character into the second-most important person in the series, you must treat him accordingly. You don't give him second chair to fucking Seto.
- Dashguy: On the topic of Character Derailment in the DOMA arc, there's Yami Yugi's duel against Raphael. To make it short: Raphael gets the upper hand, gives the "Seal of Orichalcos" card to Yami Yugi and tells him that since he's "evil" he has to use that card. Note that, at this point, the only danger in dueling came from the above mentioned "Seal of Orichalcos" card which would drain the soul of the loser; so you would expect Yami Yugi to tell Raphael to fuck off and keep playing right? Nope. He uses the card, loses and Little Yugi ends up sacrificing his soul in his place. This is a case of Aesop Amnesia, with reference to the lesson Yami learned about winning at all costs back in Duelist Kingdom.
- Ciel12: Same moment, but for a slightly different reason. Not only is the Aesop Amnesia, but it's entirely out of character and character derailment. When Yami was going to want to go through with potentially killing Kaiba, he was doing it because he felt under pressure to save Yugi's grandfather - in other words, most of his freakouts about losing tend to happen because he takes responsibility and has to fight for something or to protect someone. But that isn't the case here - in fact, by playing the Seal he's putting his friends in danger, since whoever's soul is taken will powerup the Leviathan. This just doesn't make sense as something he would do, and while the English dub has him saying that he must do it, because otherwise 'two worlds will be in peril', there's no clarification of why. Even if he beats Raphael once, it isn't like the biker will just magically stop doing Dartz's bidding. Worse still, the rest of the arc is never handled that we can understand this moment, as various characters accuse him of being power-hungry or full of rage, but there's no definitive growth, no satisfying resolution, and no proportionate retribution to any of it. Unlike Battle City, there's no sign of progression from this point.
- RAZ: Speaking of the DOMA story, the one real Dethroning Moment for me is the ending battle against the Leviathan. Okay, so Yami Yugi's awakened the three Legendary Knights, the ones that are supposed to be able to destroy the beast, right? Wrong! They get completely curbstomped and eventually destroyed so the Egyptian Gods can come in for the final battle instead, meaning the entire purpose of the Knights was utterly friggin pointless! Oh, but it gets better: right before the battle, both Kaiba and Joey had their souls recovered after previously losing them and return to aid Yami Yugi. So awesome moment of them delivering some payback for nearly being absorbed like the other duelists all were? Not so much, because the attacks from their own monsters get shrugged off and they both eventually wind up getting absorbed by the Leviathan anyway! So... what the hell was the point of reviving them in the first place if that's all they were going to amount to?!
- EDP: For me Kaiba's dethroning moment comes during his duel with Yugi at the Duelist Kingdom: when Yugi was about to defeat him, Kaiba declared he'd take a step back for any 100 HP he'd lose to try and convince Yugi to not attack and gain the turn he needed to win... But he had the Negate Attack card deployed, meaning he could have negated Celtic Guardian's attack and get his turn to attack without playing drama queen.
- Brendan D Rizzo: In my opinion, the dumbest point in the original anime was the start of the second Virtual World arc. Not only was it placed in probably the worst possible point of the series (putting a Story Arc within another story arc is just stupid and serves no purpose but to stall the original arc even further) but the real reason it qualifies for this status, in my opinion, is that the villains have absolutely no reason to fight the heroes using a children's card game, but they do so anyway. At least in Duelist Kingdom and Battle City this made sense, since those arcs were both Duel Monsters tournaments, but here? The Big Five and Noah (and Gozaburo) are trying to regain control of KaibaCorp. by committing Grand Theft Me. How in Horakhty's name would losing a card game allow them to do this? The source material isn't anywhere near as monomaniacal about a single game as the anime turned into, and this arc marked the point in which Duel Monsters shifted from "one game among many" to "the only thing that matters in the universe". At least I can take comfort in the fact that it was Filler.
- Lily Nadesico: The ending of Season 3, where Yubel pulls a complete Karma Houdini and gets to be reunited with Judai, and Judai promises to only love him/her for all time - which is exactly what Yubel wanted. Well, isn't this the greatest Esoteric Happy Ending I've ever seen? Screw the Freudian Excuse, in my mind Yubel is an unsympathetic villain and Judai should have rejected him/her with no question asked, perhaps even throwing a Shut Up, Hannibal! at him/her. Season 3 was already not doing well in my book with the girls' Chickification, the debut of Johan and Hell Kaiser's own Karma Houdini, and that was the absolute nadir.
- Valkir: Despite the other problems in the series, the finale to the Team Unicorn duel tainted 5Ds beyond all recognition. Yusei is down to no cards in his deck and all Jean needs to do is end his turn for a win, delivering the first true loss to an otherwise Invincible Hero. All this time, Jean's team has been all about using team strategy for the good of everyone. But Jean is suddenly...er...passionate about his duel with Yusei and suddenly feels the need to attack him, which his team inexplicably supports. He runs into a defensive monster that Yusei boosts with Fortress Warrior and Yusei pulls away with a win despite deserving to lose in every single way. We're supposed to believe that team victory between three people that are extremely cohesive and genuinely care about one another is less important than one superstar flexing for his friends, despite that the former resonates with the themes of the franchise far more than the latter. Yusei's plot armor actually hypnotized Jean into losing. "End your damn turn, Jean" has become synonymous with "jumping the shark" in the fandom. The worst part? It wasn't singles elimination, so Yusei's team had no story requirement to win at all...they could've won their next match and still stayed in the plot.
- Jedi Master Yusei: To say nothing of what happened to Aki/Akiza in that duel. She finally gets a chance to shine again after being Demoted to Extra for the majority of the season...only to lose to Andore/Andre in 2 turns. Seriously?!? She's the goddamn Black Rose! I could think of at least 5 different ways she could've schooled his ass! But no, she gets tossed aside just to so how "unstoppable" these guys are (even though they already did the same with Jack) so that the almighty Yusei can swoop in and look awesome by single-handedly annihilating all three of them. Look, I admit Yusei is my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist aside from Yugi himself (just look at my user name for Christ's sake). But there's Badass, and then there's Canon Sue. And you're treading dangerously close to the latter here, guys. At least let the lady take down one of them.
- L 3 X Jam3s: Okay, Episode 54 rolls around, and Droite has little to no character outside of being the Blue to her partner's Red, she takes care of Kaito's little brother, Haruto, is a Numbers Hunter, and a damn skilled duelist. So, when she goes to duel Tron, she says she's doing it for Kaito because... get ready for this folks, she says she loves him. Why? There was no foreshadowing whatsoever!Good thing it was never mentioned after the WDC, or else I would've dropped the series, because I would stand Kaito and Droite making googly eyes at each other in every scene they were in. But this episode was just shameless fanservice for the Anxiety Shipping fans.
- Awesomekid42: In episode 45, Sora and Kurosaki begin their rematch duel. This was something to be hyped for, being an opportunity to see new cards from both of them, and have a good follow up duel. What happens in it? After the two turns shown in episode 45, the writers skip to the final turn in episode 47 with Sora winning, with no other parts of the duel being shown. This is a major disappointment. We did get to see some new cards from both of them, but this not only came off as incredibly lazy, but a duel that many have been looking forward to was completely denied. To rub more salt in the wound, both Sora and Shun are panting in exhaustion before the final turn telling us that it must have been much more difficult for Shun than the last duel was.

Wevilly blog page hacked!
Hi its Akshay here,
As you all may know our blog got hacked by people called, "Bin Leaks"? You do not need to worry as they only hacked into the blog. It is pretty obvious how they had did it; they first hacked Vaner's and Racing Dudes WordPress account as their password might of been the same as their weevils so adrian and pure hacked into the Bin Weevils database and got Racing Dudes and Vaners password and tried it for their WordPress account. I know this because they only could post from Raceys and Vaners account as their passwords were the same as their weevils, in addition they could only edit the main blog page as Morton only has control of editing the other pages. If he atchually hacked the website another way which he did not, he would of be able to edit other pages and hack mine (Akshay's), Morton's, and yo geez 1's accounts. If you do not want your website hacked make sure the authors and yourself have different passwords for your weevil and WordPress account. Adrian and Pure can not hack into the Bin Weevils database now so don't worry. They are not professional hackers if that is what they call them. They are only like 14-15 years old and they are very sad hacking into a kids game.
P.S Thanks for the abusive comments Adrian, childish person.
Hello Weevils!
Yes, it's me Chris here. You may be wondering why there isn't as much posts as there use to be.

This site will remain here as a memory of Wevilly so have a look around to see what it was like. Thank you!

Benchmarks: VMware Fusion trounces Parallels
updated 05:45 pm EDT, Thu August 16, 2007
Fusion vs. Parallels
In a new set of benchmarks comparing SWsoft's Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac, Apple's Boot Camp 1.3 Beta, CrossOver Mac 6.0 from CodeWeavers and VMware's Fusion, Boot Camp (as a native Windows environment) unsurprisingly shows the best performance overall, but VMWare's Fusion shows a dramatic advantage over other virtualization solutions, including Parallels. The tests, performed on an eight-core, 2.66GHz Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.10, show VMware completing a set of multimedia multitasking routines in about a quarter of the time of Parallels; 874 seconds vs. 3,260 seconds. Photoshop CS3 performance was almost twice as fast under Fusion relative to Parallels Desktop, completing a series of tasks in 271 seconds vs. 516 seconds.
One of Fusion's primary advantages in the test is that it takes advantage of two CPU cores, while Parallels only takes advantage of one.
We recently published an in-depth look at Fusion along with commentary from Pat Lee, product manager of at VMware. Lee said that VMware generates "less overhead, and puts less strain on your Mac than other solutions." Lee also said that only VMware supports more than 1.5GB of RAM in a virtual machine (in fact, it supports up to 8GB).
Designed to rival Parallels' "Cohesion" functionality, VMware's Unity let's users run Windows applications like Mac applications. They can be minimized to the Dock, and adhere to other Mac-compliant application standards. You can also drag and drop files from the Finder to a Windows app running under Unity. For instance, if you are running Outlook in Windows, you can drag an attachment to into a newly created email message.

My favorite women violinsts are
1. Sarah Chang and Midori (tied at #1)
2. Ida Haendel
3. Hilary Hahn
4? MAYBE, JUST MAYBE Annie Sophie Mutter without her EXTREMELY HORRIFYING rubato.
John Ludlow once told me that he had experienced top orchetras admitting women players to the violin section for the first time and thta even just one women radically altered the sound of the whole section. Not good or bad, just different. As to why, I have no idea...
Part of this issue is also to do with sex. In my youth I played in a quartet with one of the most beautiful viola players to grace the face of the earth . When I started getting zits the day before rehearslas I knew it was time to quit,
Do you think it's because women leave the profession in order to start families? Or because they can't find any decent men in orchestra?;)
My theory on the male/female violinist thing is quite cynical I'm afraid. I think it's hard for a woman to make it as a concert violinist unless she's got the right look, and most great female violinists don't. It's a marketing thing. If we were to blindfold every listener and have them select their favorites based solely on the music it would probably be 50/50 male/female.
It is my firm belief that the actual greatest violinists in the world, no one knows of their existence. They are that meager farmer in Tuscany who gently plays in the early hours of the evening; the young lady who begins each morning with a little baroque music, the retired security guard who teaches on Saturdays etc., etc. They are able to cultivate a sound as beautiful as it is indescribable. Yet they are not known because they have not been marketed.
And that's the trouble, in fact, the downfall of the national schools (in it I am speaking of the Franco-Belgian, German, and [traditional] Russian schools) because they each were able to conjure a specific sound; players were able to have distinction among them. Not that I am saying any two can play exactly alike, but this hybrid school we see today has produced nothing but bland albeit competent virtuosity. Virtuosity in technical passages, and also virtuosity in music expressional incompetency. Perhaps, this isn't a result diminish of the national schools, but a diminish in the passion which many modern day violinists have to show.
A distinct group of individuals have been marketed and sold to the public, each different in their own respects, but not distinct enough for the general public to tell differences.
Years ago, anyone outside of the violinist community would be able to recognize between Issac Stern, Jascha Heifetz, and Fritz Kreisler, and later Itzhak Perlman. They were distinct, because they set no orthodoxies (Fritz Kreisler being the most unorthodox, if you will, among them).
In the nineteen sixties, or seventies (I am not exactly certain when) my father and grandfather, both carpenters, were working on a doctor's house in their little Italian neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. My grandfather had the opportunity to hear the doctor play as they were working on the house, and while they (the carpentars) were on a break period, my grandfather commented on the doctor's musicality, asking him why he had not gone professional with his abilities. The doctor replied that he had not known anyone in the buisiness, and it was nearly impossible for a meager Italian that day to get into the performing arts, when he was unknown, and had no other credentials.
Our abilites cannot carry us all the way, the old saying that "It is not what you know, but who you know" rings true in this case. When we talk about "the greats" all we speak of is who has been marketed.
But I would bet my fiddle that there isn't a greater unknown among us, perhaps even yourselves.
I seem to be rambling on; my apologies if I have ventured off the beaten path, but it seemed like an important issue to expound upon.
Actually, men have more extreme biological responses to stress than women. This is because in pre-historic times, before humans were fully evolved to our current state, men tended to do all the hunting. This caused the 'fight or flight' response in men to be greater (ie. greater release of adrenaline) and thus the male stress response is greater. Maybe women tend to perceive stressors such as performing a concert greater than men, which is why they get more nervous.
By the way, the greater stress response in men is the reason for a man's increased risk of coronary heart disease compared to women; long term frequent adrenal release can lead to the arteries getting clogged.
I would disagree that women tend to have more feminine sounds than men. To me, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Ginnette Neveu have quite butch sounds, whereas a player like Joshua Bell has a feminine sound.
Although it is easy to understand the cynicism surrounding female musicians and their looks, I'm not sure I agree 100%. Much as I don't want to call anyone unnattractive, there are a few soloists around these days (and in the past) who don't really have the sex appeal to justify the idea that you've got to be sexy to make it.
By the way, my favourite female violinist is certainly Midori. I'm not sure about her being Perlman's equal, but she certainly has something that eludes other violinists.
and (fifth paragraph of "introduction":
Many years ago, when I was in my twenties, I visited Ruth Ray who studied in Leopold Auer's violin class in St. Petersburg. She had some very subjective opinions about some of the violinists who were there. These were all kids in their teens. I remember her telling me about the simple sincerity, playfulness and huge tone which was characteristic of Toscha Seidel's playing. He was Ruth's hero: un-assuming and amiable and as a result went on to become a reliable pit musician playing for Hollywood movie scores.
Ruth Ray herself was technically on a par with many of the male violinists there, but chose to teach violin in America. Her female student friends also chose to teach. The females in Auer's class were usually rich and from well to do families. Practically all of the males were from poor or very modest families and it showed in their mode of dress. Paul Stassevitch was the oldest and strongest so he was picked to settle fights and protect the smaller students when class adjourned. Ruth told me that many of the students went stir crazy after sitting through a three hour group lesson and ran like hell to go out and play.
Call me a Hilary Hahn fan.
...all wonderful to me
hey buri is back
and how about kelsey and laurie, my all time favorites
PS Andre previn is a jammy dodger
Each of the above has a very distinct musical personality. It's almost like having 5 completely different children. Hilary Hahn always strikes me as being very precise with a wonderful incandescent plaintive sound, whereas Sarah Chang is almost a complete opposite. Equally as thrilling but in a completely different way. Whilst Hilary's flame is incandescent, Sarah Chang is like a high powered fireworks display. I think she would be very compelling to watch live. Leila Josefowicz is a real "tonalist" and I think her playing borrows a lot from earlier times when interpretations were more personal affairs.
I think both Ida Haendel and Johanna Martzy have done an awful lot to progress women's violin playing. Ida, still performing now, brings wonderfully warm and passionate interpretations to her playing and I love her sound, phrasing and shifting. I think her Sibelius concerto recorded in the 1970s is one of the very best ever performances of that concerto.
Johanna Martzy is actually quite new to me. Although I have known the name previously, I had never really heard her play until very recently. Having now heard her play, I really have to wonder why she is not more frequently mentioned, as I would rate her right at the top of my list. She played on a magnificent Carlo Bergonzi that was loaned to her from 1950 onwards by a Swiss patron named Daniel Tschudi. Her playing is quite simply extraordinary - and many violinists of today - both male and female - would do awfully well to take a few leaves out of Martzy's book.
Caitlin is definetly heading for the top!
Paul Entress
yeah, i know, im mean. But those are just my immediate observations
Suggested recordings: Mullova's Shostakovich concertos, Hahn's Brahms/Bach, Morini's Bruch, Chung's Mendelssohn, some of Midori's caprices.
"Takako Nishizaki is one of the most frequently recorded and among the best selling violinists of all time. Her recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons was named the eighth best-selling classical CD of all time with sales exceeding 900,000 copid to date....Since settling in Hong Kong in 1974, Takado Nishizaki has become the best-known and best-selling performer of Chinese violin music...".
...sorry...I was a little off...I somehow read all that as the best-selling of all violin music...
I think Hilary Hahn plays really 'cleanly', which makes her Bach Partitas sound really crystal clear and sharp.
What can I say? It was my first experience of Tasmin's playing. At first, largely due to comments on this site I was a little wary.
Her Mozart opener with piano was light, feathery, feminine even. I thought we were in for a polite and pretty evening.
Then the entire Bach Partita no 2 ... OMG that this lady feels, exudes emotion is without question. The playing was sincere, honest, even fairly masculine at times. With incredible stamina she showed us amazing colours from her violin. The amazing chord work was strong and powerful showing an incredible depth to her instrument. At times the imagery from said chords led from the sound of a feathery quartet paying in a garden, to a full tonal violin and cello duet played in your own drawing room. Unamplified, unaccompanied and only feet in front of me the full compliment of tone was a joy to behold. Very accomplished indeed and WOW, how fit do you need to be to play it in its entirety and from memory ! awesome !
For me the Debussy was just the cream on the cake. A real understanding of this exotic Sonata in G minor, Debussy's last work by all accounts,that grand waterfall opening. It was like standing in a shower of sound. Has she recorded this? I want I want......
The solo Bach piece alone produced an ovation that lasted near on 10 minutes.. The self written play on Tchaikovsky works produced stamping and whistles from the crowd. There were 5 curtain calls producing encores of Gypsy Girl by Kreisler, and a Hungarian piece that escapes me at present.
What an inspiring night.
If you doubt Ms Little's ability.. do please go see her live !
I notice in my teaching (much as I think it is totally unfair by the powers that be) that boys are just plain stronger than girls. Annoying, but true. In many ways, I see violin playing as a sport and you need upper body strength to play well. That could be one possibility why men seem to succeed more than women.
But also, it is not that far back that there were no women in professional orchestras at all. I just watched the Milstein DVD a week ago (Mendelssohn Concerto) and was struck by that when there were shots of the orchestra. So now people don't think twice about men or women playing professionally, but less than 50 years ago it was unheard of. And a few years back, here in LA, there was a protest arranged when the Vienna Symphony came on tour because of their policy on not hiring women. They may be the last holdouts though - don't know.
violinists I like that happen to be female (in no particular order)
In fact, the body has to kinds of muscles:
Talking anatomy, there are two basic hand types (in both genders):
More important than sheer strength (in the body building sense) and anatomy, however, are musicality, determination, training and attitude.
I heard many square dancers say "in our club, we have to many female members". I've alwas responded with "No, there are just not enough male dancers". In the same sense, maybe we don't have enough female violinists.
Bye, Juergen
Yes, she still plays, and even more divine then ever.
(the video begins w/ stern's intro and rondo and ends w/ ricci playing the tchaikovsky 3rd mov)
can someone tell me who this lady is who plays such a fantastic bruch 3rd movement?
What do you guys think? Should I be even comparing two very different players?
That would be Erica Morini, a pupil of Sevcik.
The next crop of big-time violinists will all be female. It's already started.
Preston - how did you concentrate during lessons??
Peter Lynch
But I did see Nadia Salerno-Sonnenburg play Shostakovich and I thought she was great also. I saw Sarah Chang play Bruch and enjoyedit, though I am not crazy about her records. And Hilary Hahn is hit-or-miss, but she has time.
Hillary Hahn, clean and brilliant!! I like that!!

Awesome piece Alex. Glad you chose the McLaren colors over Williams. I was watching the '94 Imola race live when it happened. Still have the whole race on VHS--but can't bring myself to watch it. The whole sport was never the same after. Such a black weekend with Ratzenberger's death and R.B.s accident. I assume you saw the Senna movie?

It has been more than two decades since Pat Hazell first starred in "The Wonder Bread Years," but the one-man show's nostalgia never gets old.
The humorous 90-minute salute to Americana is set for Oct. 3 at Moraine Valley Community College's Fine and Performing Arts Center's Dorothy Menker Theater in Palos Hills.
"'The Wonder Bread Years' is a hybrid of stand-up comic writing, storytelling and theatrical treatment of that. There's multimedia, old 8 mm film, a family slide show, that sort of thing. It's all things that have gotten away from us that we have an affection for," Hazell said.
"Hopefully it's a bit contagious that we're much more...

Thought I would ask in the mtb forum.
I plan to get a 29er (motobecane outcast) for myself. My brother recently had his bike stolen but I'd like him and his daught (2yrs old) to be able to cruise with me on bike paths etc. He said he won't buy a bike again, this being his 2nd bike stolen. So, I get the bike for myself as a second bike, get a rack and baby seat and put it on there when he wants to ride. But since it's a 29er I wonder if I would be able to accomodate a baby seat? Anyone know?

Bolivia police pay mutiny spreadsComment on this story
La Paz -
A mutiny by rank-and-file Bolivian police demanding wage increases has spread across the nation, with about 4 000 officers occupying barracks.
Protesters sacked and set fire to furniture and documents in one police office in La Paz on Friday but the protest otherwise appeared peaceful.
It began Thursday when about 30 police and their wives seized an elite unit's barracks just 100 meters from the presidential palace.
President Evo Morales was in the palace on Friday, protected by helmeted military police with assault rifles. He has not yet commented on the mutiny.
Police commanders were not participating in the mutiny.
Bolivia's 28,000 rank-and-file police officers earn an average of $194 a month, a third less than a sergeant in the armed forces. - Sapa-AP

The Windows Server Virtualization guide 2.0, a.k.a. the IPD guide for Windows Server Virtualization (updated for Windows Server 2008 R2) has been re-released with updates to include Windows Server 2008 R2.
"The reader is guided through the nine-step process of designing components, layout, and connectivity in a logical, sequential order. Identification of the Microsoft Hyper-V server hosts required is presented in simple, easy-to-follow steps, helping the reader to design and plan virtual server data centers."
Read more about it on the Virtualization Team blog.
Launch the download of the entire Infrastructure Planning and Design Guide series.
Visit the Download Center to select another guide in the Infrastructure Planning and Design Guide series.
This guide also includes some handy job aids for your virtualization planning, including:
For example:
Over-committing CPU resources can adversely affect all the workloads on the same host server, causing significant performance issues for a larger number of users. Because CPU resource use patterns can vary significantly, measure the CPU demand for each workload over a period when usage will be high. The table below illustrates the Windows Performance Monitor (Perfmon.exe) statistic to collect CPU usage over time.
Table B-1. Performance Monitor Statistics
% Processor time
Workloads that do not have sufficient memory will experience frequent disk page faults, resulting in decreased performance and additional disk resource use. In contrast, allocating too much physical memory leaves physical hardware resources unused, leading to lower overall host server utilization.
Collect memory use information when the system is running at peak load to ensure that the appropriate amount of memory is allotted. Table B-2 shows the Windows Performance Monitor statistics that should be collected. For each machine being virtualized, add approximately 24 megabytes of memory to provide enough memory needed by the virtualization host.
Table B-2. Performance Monitor Statistics for Required Memory
Committed bytes
Every workload requires disk space to store files such as:
· Operating system storage, including binaries and the paging file.
· Application-related storage space.
· User data storage.
· Databases and other required files.
Planning disk space use is similar for physical and virtual workloads. For existing systems, record the total disk space in use and add a factor for future growth. Record the total amount of disk storage capacity required for each workload.
To determine the actual disk performance, measure the IOps over a period of time—that is, the total number of I/O operations that occur per second, and plot this over the time period to determine requirements at peak usage.
By using Windows Performance Monitor, what the current system is actually using in terms of IOps can be measured. However, that number does not indicate whether the system has a bottleneck in the disk subsystem. To see whether the system is disk-bound, look at the queue length of the physical disk. The queue length should be zero on a well-performing system.
Table B-1 provides the Windows Performance Monitor statistics that should be collected. Total the Physical Disk counters from Table B-3 to calculate the I/O usage for each system.
Table B-3. Performance Monitor Statistics for Disk Performance
Physical disk
Disk Reads/sec
Disk Writes /sec
Most workloads require access to one or more networks to ensure communication with other applications and services and to communicate with users. The workload may also require more than one network adapter for any of the following:
· Public network access
· Networks for performing backups and other maintenance tasks
· Dedicated remote-management connections
· Network adapter teaming for performance and failover
· Connections to the physical host server
· Connections to network-based storage arrays
The network connections must provide the required throughput for the traffic that the workload will generate.
However, that number does not indicate whether the system has a bottleneck in the network interface. To check that, look at the queue length of the network adapter. The queue length should be zero on a well-performing system.
The table below provides the Windows Performance Monitor statistics that should be collected over time and graphed to record peak usage.
