Pure, heart pounding intensity.
There's no other way to describe the 97th running of the Indianapolis 500. And when it was over, the most popular driver in the field who'd never won the race–someone who fans have tried to will to victory over and over again–finally saw his dream come true.
KV Racing's Tony Kanaan is no longer a bridesmaid after winning one of the most thrilling Indy 500s in years as he took Chevy to Victory Lane in his 12th Indy 500 start, dueling with his former teammates at Andretti Autosport to earn the sport's biggest prize.
"We had a great car, said Kanaan. "I knew that from the get-go. We had a great plan. It was one of those days. Everything was so smooth. Jimmy was calm. I was calm. But, 11 times I have been here I had the same thing."
Kanaan nearly won last year, but a caution on lap 199 prevented that from happening, just as it did in 2007 when rain brought an early end to the race, allowing his friend Dario Franchitti to win his first 500.
"With six laps to go when I wasn't in the lead, I thought it might be my day. I knew I had to get the lead on the restart because it could be a yellow which happened plenty of times to me here. Which is funny. Yellows were my best friend. I never had a doubt I could win this thing."
Kanaan, who married Lauren Bohlander earlier this year, had the assembled media laughing hard when he said "Every time I got married I won a championship or a race!"
Realizing he essentially said he'd need to get divorced and married again to keep winning, he then looked over to his new bride and said, "Honey, it's OK, I don't want to win anything anymore!"
The 2004 IndyCar Series champion led 15 different times throughout the contest, passing polesitter Ed Carpenter for the lead on Lap 9 and fighting among the top 5 all day–sometimes taking and surrendering the lead on the same lap.
A late-race yellow made for a wild restart on Lap 197 where Kanaan passed Ryan Hunter-Reay, setting a staggering record of 68 lead changes, double the previous record of 34 from last year–and when TK's friend Dario Franchitti crashed on the same lap, the ensuing caution on Lap 198 sealed the Brazilian's first win and produced a deafening cheer from the few hundred thousand fans in attendance.
The race also broke the record for the fastest Indy 500 in history with an average speed of 187.433 mph.
Andretti Autosport rookie Carlos Munoz raced his way to second in the final laps–the exact position he started from–while teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay completed the top 3 and Marco Andretti took fourth, giving Chevy first through fourth on a day where Honda had no answer for the Bowtie. Dale Coyne Racing's Justin Wilson finished fifth, the first of the Honda runners.
And among the powerhouse teams, Penske couldn't get it done. Andretti came up short and Ganassi Racing was nowhere to be found. It was the unheralded KV Racing that did the seemingly impossible by breaking through to win its first IZOD IndyCar Series race on the sport's biggest stage–just as Bryan Herta Autosport and Dan Wheldon did in 2011.
And in a final tale of ridiculousness, Kanaan's car remains unsponsored for the next three IndyCar events. Something tells me that problem will be solved rather quickly.
It's hard to come up with just one word to sum up the 2013 edition of the Indy 500, but 'frenetic,' 'insane,' 'dizzying' and 'unbelievable' can be used without a hint of exaggeration. Andretti Autosport was strong all day, Team Penske surged and sank, rookie AJ Allmendinger led more than once, the Ganassi team was nowhere, E.J. Viso led, Buddy Lazier charged forward while his car lasted and a dozen other stories marked an afternoon where each lap felt like a separate race of its own.
It kicked off with Carpenter leading into Turn 1 and holding strong as Kanaan, who started 12th, did his usual routine of passing everything in sight.
By lap 9, he was into the lead, but Carpenter and Andretti was more than a match for the No. 11 Hydroxycut-sponsored car.
Carpenter took the lead back on Lap 10, Kanaan returned the favor on Lap 13, Andretti took the point on Lap 15, Kanaan took it back on Lap 17, Andretti passed Kanaan on Lap 21, and TK did the same on Lap 23.
Lap 24: Andretti. Lap 27: Kanaan. Lap 29: Andretti… And on and on it went through the entire race.
Behind them some mild jockeying went on, but four of the five Andretti cars, Kanaan, and a rotating cast from Penske posed the most serious threat through the first 150 laps.
Next to Carpenter, who led 37 laps, 2012 IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, along with stablemate Marco Andretti, looked like the other two obvious choices to claim the win.
Carpenter lost the balance on his car late in the race and struggled to stay with the leaders. He'd eventually finish 10th.
"We had a good car," he said. "It was a tough race. It was so competitive. If you make one little mistake, then you would get shuffled back. We were a little conservative early and didn't have the right amount of downforce compared to some guys, and that did us in the end. But that was the strategy we went with, and it didn't work out. Overall, I am very happy for the team and the month we had. Today, in this moment, 10th is not what we came here for. But, in the big scheme of things, it is something to be happy about. I thought I was going to get it back the whole time. And that is what I am disappointed with.
"It was just a tough race – a great field of cars. We could have just made a couple of different decisions that could have changed the outcome. But I'm to blame for that. We probably thought we were a little bit better than we were, and at the end we just didn't have what it took."
RHR's 26 laps in the lead and Andretti's 31 is an indicator of how competitive both drivers were, yet the duo climbed out of their cars feeling somewhat despondent to miss out on the victory.
"That's just the way it works out," said RHR. "That was bad luck. We were leading on that last restart. I knew I was a sitting duck and I wasn't too bummed about it because I knew we had enough laps to get it going again and have a pass back and maybe I would be third on the last lap which is where I wanted to be and it didn't work out that way. There was a crash in Turn 1 and the race ended. It's unfortunate. Big congratulations to Tony (Kanaan), though."
Andretti echoed his teammate's sentiment.
"I think when we went for the (low-downforce) trim, we were kinda in the worst case scenario; we got shuffled back behind the teammates," he said. "Carlos (Munoz) is a tough one to follow – but he drove a heck of a race. Congratulations to Tony Kanaan. Thanks to the RC Cola crew for giving me a great car for the entire month."
Carlos Munoz, who i reckoned was a bit too fast and wild to finish, proved me wrong throughout the race, taking a mightily impressive second in his first 500.
"I really wanted to fight for the win," said the young Colombian. "Maybe I could win. Maybe not, but I really wanted to fight. I have nothing to be ashamed of. To be second and a rookie and the best of the team is a great job. At the beginning I was a little bit nervous with the pit stops, but in the end, the car was great, and it's a good second place. Hopefully in the future, I will be able to drink milk.
"Right now I'm thirsty, but hopefully it's in the future for me. I think I had a great car and a great shot to overtake (Tony Kanaan) on the front straight. But you never know. He did a great job."
Allmendinger's chances of winning on his Indy 500 debut came unraveled along with his safety harness when the former Champ Car driver was forced to pit while leading to have one of his lap belts reconnected. A stall in the pits robbed Viso's shot at a top finish and Power, who bolted into the lead on lap 31 and again on Lap 75, had a refueling issue sink his hopes of winning the 500.
Allmendinger would finish seventh, Viso 18th and Power was one spot behind in 19th.
"The first issue was I was sissy on the start," said Allmendinger, who dropped from fifth to well into the teens. "That might have been the worst Indy 500 start ever. I went from like fifth to 20th in one lap. I'll be ready next time. After that, it took me about 40 laps to settle down. We kind of missed the gearing a little bit. We were hitting the rev limiter in sixth (gear) the whole time. Once the yellow came out, I kind of calmed down and thought about what I needed to do to get around these guys. Once I figured it out, the IZOD Chevy was just a missile.
"It was almost too easy at times just to go by the guys. It was probably the coolest feeling in my life to take the lead at Indy and lead the Indy 500. That's a feeling I'll never forget."
He also joked about the seat belt issue that turned his day upside down.
"I guess it's God's way of saying, 'Maybe you're not going to win it your first time.' But leading the race, I went down into Turn 1. I mean, it was 130 laps in, so it wasn't like they were loose or anything, and it just popped out. Maybe it was because my heart was beating too hard from leading the race. But it came undone."
Behind Allmendinger in seventh, Schmidt Hamilton's Simon Pagenaud delivered a mature and measured driver, earning eighth after starting 21st and placing the second Honda inside the top 10.
"We were able to run as high as fourth at some point," said the Frenchman. "I wish I would have been there at the end. I could have been more aggressive. I'm very happy with this. The Schmidt team was awesome. The engine also was fantastic. It was a great recovery from 21 (starting position). It's a short race, and you have to be so aggressive for 200 laps. Sometimes it was a bit hairy on some race restarts.
"I adjusted to balance for what we needed at the end of the race. We expected a fast race. The air density was so strong, so we could run less downforce. We were on our toes every lap. I feel tired now. You had to be very smart with your timing to make a pass. The crew worked hard day and night. I was very comfortable. I have more confidence, and I have a baseline setup for next year."
Ganassi Racing's strong Carb Day performance turned out to be one-day engagement. Defending race winner Dario Franchitti and teammate Scott Dixon flirted with the top 10 on occasion, but ran between 15th and 20th more often than was expected. Dixie would cross the line in 14th while Franchitti would clout the wall on Lap 197, bringing out the final caution.
"Sums up our day," said the Scot. "Our car was never really good all day. In traffic, we couldn't make anything happen. It was loose in the middle, big understeer. The guys tried something, and we didn't take tires. I was just going backward, sliding around on those old tires. I went into the first corner on the last restart, and it just didn't turn and then the hit. A big old hit.
"When I saw who was leading (Kanaan), it cheered me up a little bit. Great, just phenomenal that Tony won. We had a crap day. We were never in contention, but I'm just so happy he won. He's a very, very deserving winner."
Andretti's James Hinchcliffe was the only member of the squad to struggle, settling for 21st after nearly hitting the wall on at least two occasions.
"It was a bad day all around," he said. "I feel bad for my teammates. They were running right at the front there, and that yellow may have cost them a chance at the win. There's nothing really to say about our day. It was a non-factor. We were a non-event. I'm really disappointed.
Panther Racing's JR Hildebrand was the first car out of the 2013 Indy 500 on Lap 4 after completing a solo spin and crash in Turn 1 after passing James Hinchcliffe around the outside.
"We just got loose," said the 2011 Indy 500 runner up. "I was trying to give Hinchcliffe a little bit of clean air so I didn't chop down on him in Turn 1. Really disappointed."
Dragon Racing's Sebastian Saavedra was next to smack the wall, folding over the right front wheel along the Turn 3/4 short chute on Lap 36.
Schmidt Peterson Racing's Katherine Legge made contact with her right rear corner, requiring a seven-lap stop to replace a bent toe link.
Dale Coyne Racing's Pippa Mann was livid after being moved behind the car of Graham Rahal for the Lap 44 restart and got bunched up, resulting in a race-ending trip into the wall.
"My mistake, because I'm inexperienced around here but I'm furious," she said.
Alex Tagliani was primed to be the first Honda car home, but a brush with the wall on lap 168 and the necessary suspension repairs to get him going again left him in 24th.
Sebastien Bourdais had possibly the oddest accident of the day on Lap 178, smacking the left side pit wall after locking his brakes while preparing to make his final stop. With locked brakes pulling him left, the left front suspension and wing were broken in an instant.
"I tried too hard on the pit in and lost the back of the car," he said."
Graham Rahal spoiled an uninterrupted run to the finish with a solo crash on Lap 194, getting loose exiting Turn 2 which led to a spin and hitting the inside barrier.
Franchitti closed out the crashing with his solo incident that sealed Kanaan's win on Lap 197.

SAN FRANCISCO — A little bit of patience has led to a lot of confidence for Michael Morse, who finished the three-game series with Philadelphia reaching base in nine straight plate appearances.
Morse got three hits and scored twice as the San Francisco Giants won consecutive home games for the first time in over two months, beating the Phillies 5-2 on Sunday.
"I'm just getting hits now. I'm not trying to do too much, just get a pitch to hit," Morse said. "I'm not seeing the ball any better, I'm being more patient."
Andrew Susac had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run for the Giants, who won their first series at home since taking two of three from Arizona right before the All-Star break. Brandon Crawford drove in a pair of runs.
Chase Utley and Cody Asche drove in runs for the Phillies, who have lost seven of their last nine.
Tim Lincecum (10-8) managed to work through five innings to end a personal three-game losing streak. He gave up two runs and seven hits, walking four and striking out two.
"I tried to do my best with what I had," Lincecum said. "I started doing what I wanted later but my pitch count got up there."
Lincecum needed 76 pitches to finish three innings and came out after throwing 97. The Phillies stranded eight runners over the first five innings, including the bases loaded in the third.
"We couldn't come up with the hit with runners on," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He doesn't give up. He stayed with his changeup. He gets you fishing in those situations."
Javier Lopez, Jean Machi, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla combined for four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out nine. Casilla earned his 10th save in 13 chances.

Ugh. This is going to be flamed here, in spite of the evidence to support my stance, but I will continue anyway.
There is no way that kids should EVER be physically punished at school. To learn at their best, to maximise what and how much they can take from their education, students need to have their basic needs met. They need to not be hungry, they need to have shelter from the elements, they need to feel like they belong, and they need to feel safe. There is plenty of evidence that supports this, the first name that springs to mind is always going to be Maslow and his hierarchy of needs.
Hitting children does not make them feel safe or welcome. It damages the trust between the student and the teacher, which leads to further undesirable behaviour. They get caned again for this, leading to further breakdown in the relationship, and so the circle remains unbroken.

I was browsing the merchant gallery and clicked on the link for Fit Nice. She has a top and bottom pattern and many variations.
Has anyone tried it?
------Proud parent of a Dwight International School Honour Roll Student
Now that seems like such a great idea . I would also love to know if anyone has used these .
I have looked at this site and thought about ordering the patterns.
I am anxious to hear if we have some that have used the patterns also.
I hate to say it, but me too! Just found the website this morning and came here immediately to see if anyone had tried these. Somebody must have - they look really cute.
I bought pattern for knit/woven top that has neckline variations and dolman sleeve option--more variations are available on the website--am just getting back into sewing after many perceived failures/frustrations--even gave stash and most patterns away--DOES ANYONE WANT TO TRY THIS WITH ME IN FEBRUARY? Or March? I would like someone to chat with while I am venturing out on this project...any takers? From all reports the owner, Judy, is wonderfully helpful to work with and gets back to you very quickly. Jacki Jo
I am curious about this system too, so I thought I'd bump it up. Jacki, did you ever make anything?
------Bernina 780, and 530
Viking Opal 690Q
Babylock Evolution
Singer 403a
When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
I have used the knit top pattern and it fit, except the sleeves were too skinny and tight. For wovens you have to draft the arm hole and sleeves a little to make a pattern. I thought this should be included, as I am not a pattern drafter. I too love the variations and will try again.
I have bought the top pattern and dvd and am anxiously awaiting the arrival I have to work all weekend so i won't be home if it comes
Gemini53--have you used the pattern(s) yet? I used dolman cap length sleeve variation with a vee neckline--the fabric I used was a struggle after making same type in a beefy mostly cotton knit...so...I traded my super seamstress drapery making neighbor --I cut her hair and she made the simple vee top with short dolman overlay sleeves out of a green knit with holographic sequins on it--fabric kinda has crinkles in it. My neighbor has a working serger, more experience and patience--so the top turned out great--we added 5 inches so it came to fingertip length to suit my figure. Would like to order variations DVDs(one at a time) and continue on...but other people like my friend Ginapie who wrote review on PR has taken actual classes from her--what a blessing that would be--am I brave enuf to do it without firsthand classes???

I remember looking this up before and became confused when the reference referred to a Model 15 vs a Model 14. Also the guys who makes the new barrel and shroud refers to a small frame. Below are some pix. Any information or reference source would be helpful. The shroud says " Dan WESSON ARMS" " 357 MAGNUM CTG " AND THE FRAME SAYS "DAN WESSON ARMS" " MONSON,MASS,U.S.A." 10035XX Below are the photos DocAitch Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Freshman Jordan Roper added 11 in his debut as Clemson received 32 points from its bench.

Junior post Joshua Clyburn scored 19 points and snagged 13 rebounds for Presbyterian. Jennings drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 38-21 halftime lead, then Clemson hit its first five shots of the second half to transform a comfortable halftime lead into a cushy one. K.J.

Braddock, Pennsylvania
Braddock is a borough located in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, 10 miles (16 km) upstream from the mouth of the Monongahela River. The population was 2,159 at the 2010 census. The borough is represented by the Pennsylvania State Senate's 45th district, the Pennsylvania House of Representative's 34th district, and Pennsylvania's 14th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.
The town is named for General Edward Braddock (1695–1755).[1] The Braddock Expedition, particularly his crossing of the Monongahela River on July 9, 1755 at this place, led to the British general's own fatal wounding and a sound defeat of his troops who had been moving against the French at Fort Duquesne. This battle, now called the Battle of the Monongahela, was a key beginning in the French and Indian War.
The area surrounding Braddock's Field was originally inhabited by the Lenape, ruled by Queen Allequippa.[2] In 1742, John Fraser (frontiersman) and his family established the area at the mouth of Turtle Creek as the first permanent settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains.[2] George Washington visited the area in 1753-1754. It was the site of Braddock's Defeat on July 9, 1755.
Braddock's first industrial facility, a barrel plant, opened in 1850.[2] The borough was incorporated on June 8, 1867.[3] The town's industrial economy began in 1873, when Andrew Carnegie built the Edgar Thomson Steel Works on the historic site of Braddock's Field in what is now North Braddock, Pennsylvania. This was one of the first steel mills using the Bessemer process in America. As of 2010, it continues operation as a part of the United States Steel Corporation. This era of the town's history is best known from the novel Out of This Furnace by Thomas Bell.
Braddock is also the location of the first of Andrew Carnegie's 1,679 (some sources list 1,689) public libraries in the US, designed by William Halsey Wood of Newark, NJ, and dedicated on March 30, 1889. The Braddock Library included a tunnel entrance for Carnegie's millworkers to enter the bathhouse in the basement to clean up before entering the facilities (which originally included billiard tables). An addition in 1893, by Longfellow, Alden and Harlow (Boston & Pittsburgh, successors to H.H. Richardson), added a swimming pool, indoor basketball court, and 964-seat Music Hall that included a Votey pipe organ. The building was rescued from demolition in 1978 by the Braddock's Field Historical Society and is still in use as a public library. The bathhouse has recently been converted to a pottery studio; the Music Hall is currently under restoration.
During the early 1900s many immigrants settled in Braddock, primarily from Croatia, Slovenia, and Hungary.
Braddock lost its importance with the collapse of the steel industry in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. This coincided with the crack cocaine epidemic of the early 1980s, and the combination of the two woes nearly destroyed the community. In 1988, Braddock was designated a financially distressed municipality. The entire water distribution system was rebuilt in 1990-1991 at a cost of $4.7 million resulting in a fine system where only 5% of piped water is deemed "unaccounted-for."[citation needed]. From its peak in the 1920s, Braddock has since lost 90% of its population.[2]
Since 2005, colorful mayor John Fetterman has launched a campaign to attract new residents to the area from the artistic and creative communities.[2] He has also initiated various revitalization efforts, including the nonprofit organization Braddock Redux.[4]
Fetterman has appeared in various media, including PBS,[5] The Colbert Report on Comedy Central,[6] CNN, Fox News, and CNBC, and in The New York Times[7] that center on his vision of Braddock's needs. In the UK, The Guardian[8] and the BBC have reported on him.[9] He has also had his own episode on Hulu's original series A Day in the Life.[10]
Since 1974, Braddock resident Tony Buba has made many films centering on Braddock and its industrial decline, including Struggles in Steel.[11] In September 2010, the IFC and Sundance television channels showed the film Ready to Work: Portraits of Braddock produced by Levi Strauss corporation. This film interviews many of the local residents and shows their efforts to revitalize the town.[12]
Braddock is located at 40°24′13″N 79°52′7″W / 40.40361°N 79.86861°W.[13]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2), of which, 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) (13.85%) is water. Its average elevation is 764 ft (233 m) above sea level.[14]

This book departs from the usual principles-based approach and instead takes a predominantly consequentialist (harms and benefits) approach. It aims to be free of abstract philosophy, but will use the analysis of cases and a reasoned approach to examine alternative arguments. Whilst the book deals with issues in some depth it uses plain language and many clear examples of good and less good practice to illustrate points. It is at a level useful to both beginning and more experienced researchers.

California Spousal Rape Bill Will Harm Innocent Men – Glenn Sacks
By Jeffery M. Leving and Glenn Sacks – False accusations of violence or abuse are endemic in family law cases. The California Senate and the Assembly Committee on Public Safety recently approved a misguided bill which will make the problem worse by easing the way for spurious spousal rape allegations to be used against fathers.
Victims of spousal rape deserve protection, and current California law provides it. In order for the state to prosecute a spousal rape charge, the accuser need only to have mentioned the violation within a year of its occurrence to any of a wide variety of medical, law enforcement, clerical, legal or psychological personnel, or there must be corroborating, independent, court admissible evidence.

Everyone Looks Less Orange In 'Dexter' Season 8 Trailer
The end begins Sunday, June 30th. Several teasers later, we now have an official look at the eighth and final season of Dexter. From the look of things, Dexter's been getting the cold shoulder from his sister who has chosen the comforts of awesome sex and recreational drugs over eating steaks with her creepy murderer brother who wears a lot of peach. Meanwhile, everyone in Miami who is not a homicide detective are suspicious that Dexter may be the Bay Harbor Butcher making it more and more difficult for him to track down and eliminate whoever is going around town removing people's brains. All in all, the once creepy show looks much more palatable. By that, I mean at least they've scaled back on the bronzer from last season.

Picture: Laura Dern The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards (Golden Globes 2012) HBO after party held at Circa 55 Restaurant Los Angeles, California - 15.01.12
Laura Dern has sparked rumours of a reconciliation with her estranged husband Ben Harper after taking him as her date to a Golden Globes party.
The Jurassic Park star split from the singer/songwriter in 2010 after five years of marriage, with Harper citing irreconcilable differences in divorce papers.
Dern took gold at the glitzy Hollywood prize-giving on Sunday (15Jan12), picking up a Best Actress trophy for her role in TV show Enlightened, and she sparked rumours of a marriage reconciliation by partying with her estranged partner after the show.
The former couple was photographed sitting at a table together, smiling as Harper put his arm around Dern's shoulders.
They have two children together.

Hyper-V Program Manager
Automatic virtual machine activation is an easy to miss, but really handy feature in Windows Server 2012 R2.
One of the primary reasons why people buy Windows Server Datacenter today is because it gives them license to run an unlimited number of Windows Server instances inside of virtual machines. However, you have still needed to manage Windows keys when doing this in the past.
Automatic virtual machine activation means that this is no longer necessary – Windows Server inside a virtual machine is now able to activate against Windows in the host operating system, if it is running an activated version of Windows Server Datacenter.
You can read all about this feature here:
One important thing to know is that if you are installing Windows in a virtual machine, on a system that supports automatic virtual machine activation, and you get asked for a product key – you should use one of the AVMA keys. They are as follows:
Cheers, Ben
Very good!!
Fábio Gomes
Such a minor but awesome feature. I do notice that Windows Setup still asks me for product key during the installation. I usually just put in our own keys and VMs got activated no problem. Does Windows Setup suppose to use those three AVMA keys and not asking me for product keys?
Jim, you can use sysprep for create custom installation image with prepinned AVMA keys.
Hi Ben,
do you know if I can use AVMA to activate Windows 2008 R2 VMs and Window 7, 8 and 8.1 ones?
I try to find some information re that but it seams to be available for 2012 R2 only, correct?
Hi David,
AVMA only works in WS2012R2 or Win 8.1.
The guest virtual machine operating system must be Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, or Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
why is this feature not written on the packaging!
Having said that, just bought a new DELL Server with 2012R2 Std pre-installed. Installed Hyper-V option, created a VM, installed 2012R2 Std from the supplied DVD and come across the activation issue!
Clicked on the "Activate Windows" button within "System" in the CPL and used the key from above (Std line).
Got the message "This key didn't work, please check it and try it again, or try a different key."
Can you provide any assistance please?
Hi to all,
Will this feature works if VMs are running on Microsoft Hyper-V server 2012 R2 host ?
@Skeebo, you can only use the keys to automatically activate a guest Windows operating system if the host operating system is the Datacentre version - and it's activated.
Hope that helps.
With the release of "Windows Server 2012 R2 with Update", the keys do not work anymore. I had to use my MSDN-retail keys during Installation.
Is that intentional or are there new AVMA keys?
lame regurgitation of the TechNet article.

"AT last the time came when the secret burst his reserve. We were sitting together last night in the turret of his house, watching the emersion of a satellite of Jupiter. A sudden tempest clouded the sky, and disappointed our observation. We sat awhile silent in the dark, and then he addressed himself to me in these words: ' Imlac, I have long considered thy friendship as the greatest blessing of my life. Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and Knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. I have found in thee all the qualities requisite for trust, benevolence, experience, and fortitude. I have long discharged an office which I must soon quit at the call of nature, and shall rejoice in the hour of imbecility and pain to devolve it upon thee.'
"I thought myself honored by this testimony, and protested that whatever could conduce to his happiness would add likewise to mine.
"'Hear, Imlac, what thou wilt not without difficulty credit. I have possessed for five years the regulation of the weather and the distribution of the seasons; the sun has listened to my dictates, and passed from tropic to tropic by my direction; the clouds, at my call, have

As one calendar year ends and another begins, it feels like a good time to give thanks. And amidst the lame romantic comedies and thrill-less thrillers and unending stream of remakes, sequels, and - in the case of Rob Zombie's Halloween II - even the remake of a sequel, there was actually quite a lot that I was thankful for in the movie year of 2009.

With a low-key yet intensely charismatic Johnny Depp as its lead, you could describe Michael Mann's Public Enemies as the story behind the criminal activity of the infamous, Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger. But that's not entirely accurate. The film is also about the nascent, frequently misguided authority of the FBI, personified here by a stalwart agent (a somber, less-throaty-than-usual Christian Bale) and showboating chief J. Edgar Hoover (a spectacular Billy Crudup). It's also about early media saturation in our country, and the public's complicity in turning villains into heroes, and the labyrinthine hierarchies among American gangsters, and - as embodied by a dazzlingly desirable and powerful Marion Cotillard - the ever-unpredictable nature of love. And, more than anything, it's about the exquisite craftsmanship of Michael Mann, whose Public Enemies doesn't look or sound quite like any other crime movie you've seen, and whose technical virtuosity might make Public Enemies impossible to forget.

An amazing computer caseThis case is slightly larger than a mid tower, and has ample space for hard disks, optical drives, power supply and a few sizes of motherboards. The case came with four fans, precision screws of different sizes, useful tools for fixing the hex screws for motherboards all colored black. It also has easy mounts for hard disks and optical disks. The only caveat to be aware of is that the USB 3.0 front panel connector needs a motherboard that has a USB 3.0 header. Otherwise, this is a fantastic case. This case can support long graphics cards as well.

Persona 3 could best be described as a RPG with social simulation elements that came out in 2007 for North America. But that would be a disservice to the complexity and depth of the game as there's a whole lot more involved. I'm currently stationed in Asia and I've found myself thinking back on the experience I had during my recent play-through of Persona 3. It was so good that my wife, who's only finished three games in her life, played the entire 100+ hour campaign with me."

How could the MAYANS predict something like this? It seems like the things fly in errard paths without orbits, maybe they did, I don't know.
Does anyone have any info on comet speed/impact potential damage? Aside from earthquakes which is what some "say" in what I read about the end of their calendar, this seems more on par w/ what's to pass. Or hit.

I really don't know why it would be, but my 1954 Gibson GA-40 likes my PRS guitars significantly more than my Gibsons or Fenders. Doesn't matter if it's a DGT or a Signature Limited, or an SC58 or a 513 or a McCarty narrowfield. I've actually connectorized the GA-40 so that I can plug it into a Vox 2x12 loaded with Celestion Blues to gig with. Plugged into the mic channel, the gain / volume ratio is at a perfect level for small club gigs.
The clips below are of the DGT and Signature Limited, direct into the amp. In "real-life" I use a clean boost and an OCD distortion pedal to get extra gain when needed, but the GA-40 has more than expected out of the box. The clips are with the original Jensen speaker that is part of the combo. It's less "boxy" through the 2x12 though.
The amp with a Les Paul or a Strat is sort of....mehh.... But it has a great character with every PRS that I have. I like it enough, that I'm building a head version from the schematic that came with the amp (we'll see how well that turns out....) Anyway, here are the clips....

injectable acell implant for enterocutaneous fistula
our doctor did implant an acell powder implant thru pigtail catheter, now she is submitting 15777 by itself which is an add code. what would be the coding for this? help.
additional question to ask
What was the reason he implanted the biological implant and WHERE did he implant it? Does your diagnosis code point you in a direction?
this was in order to granulate the cavity and close off the fistula, DX is fine, but i do not find any code to bill this procedure since it was only the injection of the acell material thru the catheter.
injectable acell implant for enterocutaneous fistula
I would recommend reviewing CPT Codes 46707 and 44799.
46707 - The physician repairs an anal fistula using fibrin glue (46706). Fibrin glue is made with human fibrinogen pooled from the plasma of long-term donors under control methods that avoid passing infection to the recipient. The glue is composed of two components, usually applied through double lumen catheters to guide the component injections separately to the tissue and must be applied at a temperature of 37 C. The fistula is localized and cannulated and then prepped for the glue. The margins and canal of the fistula are de-epithelialized with electrocoagulation and/or roughening the fistulous canal with a brush. Some bleeding actually improves the adhesion of the fibrin clot. The gluing is done so as to completely fill the defect and around the borders of the fistula, sealing it with a clot. Fibrin glue only works on tissue capable of local regeneration for wound healing since the glue does not actually function as a seal or a plug, but provides the substrate for fibroblasts to move in. After about four weeks, the glued surface is replaced by scar tissue and the fibrin glue totally decomposes. Mechanical stress must be avoided while this stage is developing. In 46707, the physician treats an anorectal fistula or artificial communication from the anus or rectum to the skin with a porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) plug. The patient is in a prone position. Using a sterile probe, the physician identifies the primary fistula opening by advancing the probe through the secondary fistula opening. The fistula is irrigated. The fistula plug is introduced through the internal (primary) fistula opening and threaded into the fistula until the internal opening is occluded. The plug is trimmed flush with the mucosal wall of the anus or colon and also trimmed flush at the secondary site. Each end of the plug is secured with resorbable sutures.
44799 - Unlisted procedure, intestine
ACell, Inc has a reimbursement line to help assist with questions like this - 1-800-826-2926 option #4

Sir Henry Thompson, 1st Baronet
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011)
Sir Henry Thompson, 1st Baronet FRCS (6 August 1820 – 18 April 1904) was a British surgeon and polymath.
Medical career[edit]
He was born at Framlingham, Suffolk. His father wished him to enter business, but circumstances ultimately enabled him to follow his own desire of becoming a physician, and in 1848 he entered the Medical School of University College London. He obtained his degree at London University in 1851 with the highest honours in anatomy and surgery.[1]
In 1853 he was appointed assistant surgeon at University College Hospital, becoming full surgeon in 1863, professor of clinical surgery in 1866, and consulting surgeon in 1874. In 1884 he became professor of surgery and pathology in the Royal College of Surgeons. Specializing in the surgery of the genito-urinary tract, and in particular in that of the bladder, he went to Paris to study under Jean Civiale, who in the first quarter of the 19th century proved that it is possible to crush a stone within the human bladder and invented the first surgical instrument for this minimally invasive surgery. After his return he soon acquired a reputation.[1]
In 1863, when the King of Belgium was suffering from kidney stones, Thompson was called to Brussels to consult in the case, and after some difficulties was allowed to perform the operation of lithotripsy: this was quite successful, and in recognition of his skill Thompson was appointed surgeon-extraordinary to the King,[2] an appointment which was continued by Léopold II. Nearly ten years later Thompson carried out a similar operation on the former Emperor Napoléon III; however, the Emperor died four days after, not from the surgical procedure, as was proved by the post-mortem examination, but from uremia.[1]
In 1874 he helped in founding the Cremation Society of Great Britain, of which he was the first president; he also did much toward the removal of the legal restrictions on cremation. He denounced the current methods of death certification in Great Britain; and in 1892 a select committee was appointed to inquire into the matter; its report was published the following year, was generally in line with his thinking. Woking Crematorium finally became the first of its kind in the UK. Thompson's last public duty for the society, in 1903, was to open Birmingham Crematorium,[3] the country's ninth.[4]
The Royal College of Surgeons in 1852 awarded Thompson the Jacksonian Prize for an essay on the Pathology and Treatment of Stricture of the Urethra (on stenosis of the urethra, a very common condition in the times of gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases); and again in 1860 for another on the Health and Morbid Anatomy of the Prostate Gland. These two memoirs belong to urology, his medical speciality. Besides devising operative improvements, he wrote books and papers dealing with them, including
- Clinical Lectures on Diseases of the Urinary Organs,
- Practical Lithotomy and Lithotrity,
- Tumours of the Bladder,
- Suprapubic Lithotomy, and
- Preventive Treatment of Calculus Disease.
Other books of a medical character were Food and Feeding, and Diet in Relation to Age and Activity, both of which passed through several editions. He produced two successful novels, Charley Kingston's Aunt (1885) and All But (1886).
Personal life[edit]
Thompson was also an artist, producing sketches and paintings, some of which were hung at the Royal Academy of Arts and in the Paris Salon. About 1870 he began to collect Chinese porcelain, in particular of old blue and white Nanking; this in time became so large that he could no longer find room for it, and most of it was sold. A catalogue of it, illustrated by himself and James Whistler, was published in 1878.[1]
He was also interested in astronomy, and for a time maintained a private astronomical observatory in his house at Molesey. He presented the Royal Greenwich Observatory with several instruments, including a photographic heliograph of 9-inch aperture; a 30-inch reflecting telescope, and a large refracting telescope having an object glass of 26 inches of diameter and a focal length of 22 feet. The offer of the last instrument was made in 1894. Its manufacture was undertaken by Sir Howard Grubb of Dublin, and its erection was completed in 1897.[1]
Sir Henry Thompson, knighted in 1867, received a baronetcy in 1899, in connection with his telescope gifts to the National Observatory.[1]
In 1851 he married Kate Loder, a pianist, who was stricken with paralysis soon afterwards. On his death, his only son, Herbert, a barrister and Egyptologist, succeeded to the baronetcy. Of his two daughters, the elder (author of a valuable Handbook to the Public Picture Galleries of Europe, first published in 1877) married Henry William Watkins, Archdeacon of Durham, and the younger one married the Rev. H. de Candole.[1]

We can fix this. If nothing else, that's the message I hope readers take away from this column. Of course, the "this" is the run on the world banking system. Stock markets have plunged globally, gold prices have shot up, and U.S. Treasury-bill rates have plummeted to 10 basis points, the lowest since the 1950s.
We're witnessing a desperate flight to safety by investors. Folks are running away from financial assets and financial institutions simply because confidence has disappeared.
This week, Treasury secretary Hank Paulson said "no" to a government bailout of Lehman. Paulson and Ben Bernanke then took over AIG with an $85 billion bailout, with the Treasury issuing roughly $100 billion in new T-bills so the Fed has the cash to resuscitate AIG.
All this was necessary. A collapse of AIG would have been unfathomable -- it is simply too interconnected globally. But it turns out this rescue mission only elevated investor fears. Shareholders are asking: "Who's next?"
The bears are now raiding Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, two national treasures. Meanwhile, the Reserve Fund -- an original money-market fund launched by Bruce Bent, a hard-nosed friend of mine who for decades has supported conservative political causes -- has seen its net asset value drop from $1 to $0.97. That's a shocker. And the reason? The fund's holdings of Lehman commercial paper were unsupported by letters of credit.
Money-market funds are supposed to be safe havens for mom and pop -- for Mary and Joe in McKeesport, PA. But everybody now wants T-bills and gold.
Well, it's time for some perspective. The world is not coming to an end. The stock market has tumbled, but it's still over 10,000. In late 2002 it was 7,500 and in mid-1982 it was 750. Are things really that bad?
With home prices falling, foreclosures and defaults are at the root cause of the run against all manner of mortgage-related bonds held by the banks. But as investment guru Don Luskin points out, foreclosures today are less than 3 percent. During the 1930s they were 50 percent. Or how about the unemployment rate? Today it's 6.1 percent. Back in 1982 it was near 11 percent and for most of the 1930s it was over 20 percent.
As the oil bubble pops the underlying inflation rate is somewhere between 2 and 3 percent -- quite unlike the double-digit hyperinflation of the 1970s. Home prices themselves have fallen between 10 and 20 percent, but they're still about 50 percent higher than at the start of the decade.
And there are constructive policy measures that can help fix the market's problems.

this unique bed and breakfast has it all. Good location, fabulous and spacious rooms, generous breakfast, but most important of all a welcoming and accommodating host. The house is quirky but works well. I would definitely recommend this location.
What a lovely, quaint place to stay. We had a large bedroom, sitting room, and bathroom. The owner of the bed and breakfast was so friendly and accommodating. She provided a full breakfast every morn.
We are very satisfied about our stay in this B&B. We stayed for two nights, had a lovely room, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice, everything you can think of. Near Brussels in a lovely environment. Lots of restaurants on walking distance. Free parking in front of the house. Free wine in the minibar. And last but not least...
Wow- what a great location and what a great little Gem- nice place with great hosts- breakfast fresh and rooms very comfy
If you want a beautiful setting, comfortable beds, flawless service, delicious breakfast, and a convenient location, this is the place for you! My husband & I returned to Belgium for a week vacation--we lived there as expats for total of 6 years on two different stays--and we wanted a place to stay that offered quiet and comfortable accomodations near Lake...
Please could you tell me if there are tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms?

It could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis while you're sleeping and toss it out the window of a moving car.
Losing.┬Ā We're eating pretty healthy and he decided to quit drinking with me during my pregnancy.┬Ā It's amazing how cutting out the cocktails slims him down!┬Ā With my first, he went on a kick of wanting to get really healthy since he was going to be a dad so he went out biking┬Āmany mornings┬Āand slimmed down┬Āa lot.┬Ā Of course that all stopped when baby came and he was too tired to move let alone exercise!
**Daughter 8/07 and son 6/11!**
My husband has been letting me have the big servings of food... like the bigger steak, or bigger chicken, or bigger slice of pizza... so I'm the only one gaining weight...
He says I'm beautiful though and can't tell that I've gained. He is really sweet.
Conal born 6-27-11! Yay!
Rory born 11-8-12! Yay!
Now I will add that he was prescribed a med named vyvanse that has really seemed to give him the energy/willpower to help him with his weightloss.

My DH lost 42 pounds and he is 6"1 he used to weight 230.┬Ā I'm so pround of him since he really wanted to get the weight off and become more healthy for his family.┬Ā Now he has become addictive to the P90X and jogging.┬Ā LOL.┬Ā I'll be exercising with him once I heal from my Csection.

In this Feb. 23, 2012 file photo, Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy yells at an official.
- Filed Under
We're guessing Stan Van Gundy is going to sing a different tune during his press conference Thursday than he did nine years ago regarding Detroit Pistons fans.
As Van Gundy takes over the Pistons' basketball operations and head coaching duties, we bring up this New York Post report from May 29, 2005, in which Van Gundy called Pistons fans some of the "absolute nastiest people" when his Miami Heat were facing them in the Eastern Conference finals.
Van Gundy also reportedly brought up the "Malice at the Palace" brawl earlier in the 2004-05 season in which Ron Artest entered the Palace of Auburn ...

Samuel Wolff
Sam Wolff presently has inconsistent mechanics and it challenges the idea of him being a starter long term. From the bullpen last year, the FB velocity played higher and it also made the CB sharper. Ultimately, that's where I think he'll end up and have the most value. He has bullpen experience.
Command profile: presently average, could get to solid average.
