Andy Coulson, Tory spin doctor and trusted adjutant of David Cameron, has come under pressure to explain his relationship with convicted phone-hackers and other criminals during his tenure at the News of the World.
Mr. Coulson first worked as deputy editor of the tabloid and then became its editor in 2003.
A number of private investigators employed by NoW while Mr. Coulson worked at the paper – including Glenn Mulcaire, John Boyall and Steve Whittamore – were convicted of bribing police officers, intercepting private phone calls and voicemails, and illegally procuring confidential private information.
In January 2007 Mr. Coulson had to resign after Mulcaire and reporter Clive Goodman were jailed for intercepting voicemail messages.
A few months later, he assumed his current role as Conservative Party communications director.
The Guardian reports that, while Mr. Coulson worked as editor of NoW, the newspaper re-employed one freelance private detective who had just been released from a seven-year sentence for blackmail.
'Evidence seen by the Guardian shows that Mr. A, who cannot be named because he is facing trial for a violent crime, "blagged" information from bank accounts, bribed police officers, procured confidential data from the DVLA and phone companies, and traded sensitive material from live police inquiries.
'Mr. Coulson last night refused to say whether he was aware of Mr. A's criminal background, or of his return to the paper following his prison term.'
The Guardian continues: 'A total of 19 people have been positively identified as victims of illegal privacy invasions [by investigators paid by News of the World], while mobile phone companies say … 100 customers' voicemail was accessed, and Scotland Yard has conceded that, in material seized from Mulcaire, it found 91 pin codes … to access voicemail.'
MPs have criticised News International executives for "collective amnesia" and "deliberate obfuscation" in trying to cover up the phone-hacking scandal.
Earlier this year, following a written question from House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee chairman John Whittingdale MP, News International finally admitted paying off the phone-hackers to avoid claims for unfair dismissal (and more, presumably).

text: The early confederacy of New England, though all its colonies were non-conformists, refused fellowship to Rhode Island on account of its variance in dissent. Virginia and Maryland were settled in connection with the church of England, which at the period of the revolution was still the established church of them both. In the constitution of the Carolinas the philosopher Locke introduced a clause for the disfranchisement of the atheist, not considering that the power in the magistrate to inflict a penalty on atheism implied the power which doomed Socrates to drink poison and filled the catacombs of Rome with the graves of martyrs. On the other hand, the Baptists, nurslings of adversity, driven by persecution to find resources within their own souls, when they came to found a state in America, rested it on the truth that the spirit and the mind are not subordinate to the temporal power. For the great central state, the people called Quakers in like manner affirmed the right to spiritual and intellectual liberty, and denied to the magistrate all control over the support of religion. To form a perfect political union it was necessary, in all that relates to religion, that state should not be in conflict with state, and that every citizen, in the exercise of his rights of intercitizenship, should be at his ease in any state in which he might sojourn or abide. In a republican country of wide extent, ideas rule legislation; and the history of reform is the history of thought, gaining strength as it passes from mind to mind, till it finds a place in a statute. We have now to see how it came to pass

Hurricane Rick is weakening as it heads toward the resorts of southern Baja California, but the big waves it has kicked up sweep a fisherman to his death off a point in Los Cabos.
MEXICO CITY — Hurricane Rick was more than a day away from the resorts of Baja California on Monday but the 13-foot (4-meter) waves it kicked up have already killed one person in Los Cabos, which lies almost directly in the hurricane's forecast path.
Francisco Cota, the Los Cabos civil defense director, said a 38-year-old man was standing on a rocky point fishing when he was swept away by one of the big waves Sunday. Bystanders went to help the man, but by the time they got him out of the water he was dead.
"We have established patrols on the beaches to keep people from going into the sea," Cota said. Storm shelters were being opened at local schools and patrol vehicles were making the rounds of low-lying neighborhoods with loudspeakers urging people to evacuate.
"The port is closed … and people are getting their boats our of the bay," Cota said.

Hurricane Rick's maximum sustained winds decreased Monday to near 105 mph, making it a Category 2 hurricane, down from its peak of 180 mph as a Category 5 storm last week, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Rick was moving northwest at about 8 mph. The hurricane was expected to continue weakening, but could hit or pass just offshore of Los Cabos, at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, as a Category 1 hurricane by Wednesday, forecasters said.
Rick was centered about 340 miles south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, one of the two towns that make up the municipality of Los Cabos.
At the beach-side SolMar resort in Cabo San Lucas, manager Silvia Carlos said the hotel was taking precautions, but had not evacuated guests.
"We are covering up windows in the entranceway and sealing doors," Carlos said. "The waves are starting to get high."
Rick also threatened to disrupt a major sport-fishing tournament scheduled to start Wednesday. About 800 sports fishermen were scheduled to gather for the Bisbee's Los Cabos tournament.
About 130 boats had been scheduled to set off into the Pacific on Wednesday — the day Rick is projected to hit, but tournament organizer Clicerio Mercado said the start of the event would be postponed in hopes fishing could resume Thursday or Friday.
Forecasters said a weakening Rick is likely to continue past the Baja peninsula and slam into Mexico's mainland somewhere near the resort city of Mazatlan on Thursday.
Rick was the second-strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific since 1966, when experts began keeping reliable records, Hurricane Center meteorologist Hugh Cobb said.
The strongest was Hurricane Linda, which generated maximum winds of 185 mph (296 kph) in September 1997.

Biggest challenge in completing this project? We faced all the usual suspects, like not having enough time or money. The weather was also not our friend. We shot in NYC and Long Island last February and March, and a storm caused us to change our schedule so that we shot the emotional climax of the movie with about an hour's notice. That was scary. Plus California has thinned my blood so I was freezing the whole time. Personally though, I find the biggest challenge in filmmaking is always authenticity. Creating a world and characters that feel real and can support a truthful story is an incredibly difficult thing. I feel really proud of "Gabriel" in that way.
Did you crowdfund? We didn't. We were lucky enough to find a group of investors that really believed in the project.
What camera did you shoot on? Arri Alexa
Did you go to film school? I went to AFI for directing.
What's in the works? I'm writing a coming-of-age thriller set in the woods and developing a few other projects, including a TV show.

Hm, well, on White it was my Musharna, who dished out a lot of Damage with it's STAB, and who also single-handedly beat Cynthia and Alder despite being 20 Levels below theirs.
On Black, it was my Samurott, who could beat a lot and not take all too much Damage either.
On Black 2, it was my Flygon, who was by far my main source of Damage.
And finally, on White 2, Volcarona did absolutely amazing.

Meet Mary. Her rescuers found her in a high-kill shelter, which was absolutely unbelievable because she was VERY pregnant.
Thanks to over $1,000 of donations, rescuers were able to save Mary just in the nick of time.
She was so timid at first…she wasn't sure where she was going, and after all she went through, she couldn't be sure that she could trust humans again! You can tell from her bones protruding that this very pregnant lady hadn't been fed enough to support her growing womb.
So OF COURSE her loving pet parents fed her…and fed her…
…and fed her some more. They hoped she'd gain weight before delivering her puppies…
But just TWO DAYS after being rescued she went into labor. She delivered her first perfect puppy with no issues whatsoever.
In spite of her malnourishment, Mary handled 16 hours of labor and delivery with no problems.
Producing not one…not two…not three…
But a dozen happy, healthy little puppies!!!
The wee puppies were able to latch on to Mary's breasts and nurse, thank goodness.
The puppies were really good at nursing. Nursing and sleeping!
This puppy, named Bonzai, really liked to sleep on his back…
…and Belle, who could've been Bonzai's twin, like to curl up next to her mama's cheek.
As you can see, Mary was pretty proud of her puppies!
She took amazing care of them, and the thrived and soon were walking and playing throughout the rescuer's house.
Thanks to loving pet parents saving just ONE LIFE from a high-kill shelter, 12 perfect puppies got a chance at happiness!
Don't all of these beautiful animals deserve a chance? To help an animal in need, please contact your local ASPCA or Humane Society. There are thousands of cases like Mary's that go unnoticed every single day.

The economic recovery has been slow in Bend. Partially completed subdivisions languish. The Deschutes County unemployment rate in September was 11.1 percent. And yet, there is no shortage of funding requests to taxpayers from the city, park district and schools.
In May 2011, Bend voters approved a $30 million bond to pay for street improvements. The city has increased water rates for several years to pay for a planned $68 million water project, and officials are considering whether to spend as much as $170 million on sewer work. The Bend Park & Recreation District is asking voters today to approve a $29 million bond; in May, Bend-La Pine Schools will ask voters to approve a $98 million bond for school improvements and construction.
Lately, City Manager Eric King has been wondering how much more financially strapped taxpayers can handle. King has been talking with other local government officials about the need for more coordination of funding requests.
He said he thinks government agencies need to do more to schedule their tax measures according to community priorities and taxpayers' capacity to tolerate higher bills.
"Residents don't look at the system as all these different individual agencies," King said. "I think they kind of look at it as government services at the local level, and I think they expect us to be more coordinated in our asks of them."
The Bend Chamber has raised similar concerns.
"We're very concerned about the quality of life, and it has a direct correlation with the infrastructure, education and public safety," said chamber Executive Director Tim Casey. "And we are concerned as voters start looking at all these different bonds, they will get into a position of rate tolerance where they will not want to pay any more ... We're concerned a lot of lower priority issues might get before voters before the higher priority ones."
Several months ago, Casey approached former Deschutes County Sheriff Les Stiles about taking the Chamber's leadership class, Leadership Bend, in a new direction. Stiles' specific assignment to the 32 class members, a mix of high-level business people and government employees, is to graph all of the existing property tax rates as far as possible into the future, then determine the total rate charged to taxpayers each year as some of the bonds expire.
"At the time, there were rumors of a $98 million school bond," as well as measures to create a new transit tax district and a permanent tax rate for the Deschutes County 911 Service District, Stiles said. "So the question begging to be asked is, 'Who's taking the 30,000-foot view?' At what point are we going to hit a tipping point for the voters ... ?"
Stiles emphasized that the Bend Chamber came up with the idea for the class project on its own. "This is not being sanctioned by any governmental entity at all," he said. The nine-month leadership class began in September.
King said he was aware of the Leadership Bend project. King would like the class to recommend priorities and strategies, although it's unclear at this point whether it will do so.
Jenny Dietz, whose job at the Bend Chamber includes support for Leadership Bend, said the group plans to present its findings to elected officials and the public. The class goal is to present its findings in May 2013.
If governments do not coordinate, they could put forward bond measures that miss the big picture, King said. For example, voters might approve a bond measure to pay for construction of a new school when sewer capacity doesn't exist to serve it and no money is set aside to upgrade that capacity.
And the city must plan for its sewer and other infrastructure to serve private development, not just new government projects, King said. The city needs to have shovel-ready land around the city in order to attract new businesses. The city is also struggling to pay for police and fire services at the level residents expect.
For the moment, talks aimed at coordinated funding between King and other local government leaders — from the Deschutes Public Library District, Deschutes County, Bend-La Pine Schools, the Bend Park & Recreation District and Oregon State University-Cascades Campus — are informal, with no timeline to produce results. Casey and staff from the nonprofit Economic Development for Central Oregon also attend the meetings. These officials meet periodically; a few months ago, they agreed to revisit the funding issue after the Bend Chamber leadership class produces its report, King said.
"As a city, it's our responsibility to provide the infrastructure for a lot of these requests, and I just want to make sure we can do that ... We don't want to be seen as barriers to development."
Some in the class said they should have started the analysis earlier so it would be done before the November election. The class started too close to the election to accomplish that, Stiles said, but he expects their findings will still spark an important conversation and potentially play a role in future bond measure decisions.
"Personally, I think Eric King's right and we're going to reach a tipping point," Stiles said.

INDIANAPOLIS - For Greg Ray, it was worth the wait.
After nearly two weeks of frustration as he waited for sponsorship to turn up, the former IRL champion finally got on the track Sunday and made qualifying for Sunday's Indianapolis 500 look easy.
Ray, a seven-time Indy 500 starter, ran only 20 practice laps before completing the 33-car lineup with a four-lap, 10-mile average of 216.641 mph. That speed would have placed him 18th had he done it on May 15, the first of three days of time trials.
Instead, Ray will start 27th after topping seven qualifiers. But that's just fine with the former Indy pole-winner.
"We didn't really have time to get the car sorted out," Ray said. "There was a lot of frustration. We were all chomping at the bit and everybody was saying, 'Let's just unleash this thing.' But this is a good race team and we know that every time you push the boundaries, you take additional risks. And, no matter how fast we went today, we wouldn't have started any higher in the race and we'll just try to finish better than we start."
Ray's run ended weeks of speculation that the 88th Indy 500 could be the first since 1947 with fewer than the traditional 33 starters.
The only suspense after Ray's qualifying run came late in the session when NASCAR star Tony Stewart, a former IRL champion, made an unexpected appearance.
Stewart passed a physical and was getting ready to jump into one of team owner A.J. Foyt's backup cars to practice and perhaps attempt to bump his way into the lineup when everything came to a sudden halt.
Stewart and Foyt were informed on the pit lane by Cary Agajanian, Stewart's agent, that there was an unspecified contract issue that would prevent him from driving the car.
All Stewart could do at that point was grin and shrug off the disappointment.
"I'm going to try to put something together for next year. I've got the fever now," Stewart said.
The 2002 NASCAR Winston Cup champion, who drives Chevrolets for Joe Gibbs Racing, said the hang-up Sunday had something to do with his stock car contracts.
If he had been successful in bumping Robbie McGehee, the slowest qualifier, Stewart would have joined fellow NASCAR regular Robby Gordon in doing a difficult double Sunday, racing in the 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 in Concord, N.C. Stewart previously did the double in 1999 and 2001, the last time he drove in the 500.
Twenty-six cars qualified on the first two days of time trials, leaving the seven spots to fill and a big question mark whether there would be enough driver-car combinations to do it.
Only six non-qualified drivers practiced Saturday, with Ray remaining on the sidelines. At one point Saturday, the car was fully prepared while his crew waited fruitlessly for Ray to complete the sponsorship deal and climb into the cockpit.
"We still don't have a primary sponsor, but we need to be in this race," Ray said. "We're working for the future and you've got to keep beating the drum."
With the threat of rain Sunday, the remaining hopefuls wasted little time once qualifying began at noon.
Rookie P.J. Jones, who got into the Beck Motorsports entry for the first time Saturday, got things started, turning in a four-lap, 10-mile average of 213.355.
"I was on my 10th lap going into Turn 1 and the throttle stuck wide open," he said. 'I had to get out of the car, I was so nervous. That kind of got me scared for a moment."
It didn't keep him from getting back in the car and qualifying solidly Sunday.

Two of a Kind - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Jack coming out of the shower and looking at the injuries that were inflicted by Rizzo on his body. Later Jack, Ralph and Dixon arrive at a crime scene. A man was found dead in his car with the engine still running. Turns out, he was shot in the head. Ralph concludes whoever shot the man knew him, because the man pulled his car to the side of the road and rolled down his window for the killer. Also, it doesn't look like a robbery because the man's wallet and watch are still on him. The victim's name according to his license is Burt Ladamer; there are also a series of numbers written on a piece of paper found in his wallet.
The trunk of his car is stacked with crates of health shakes. Savino in the meantime sends the "skim" to Chicago. The skim is hidden underneath some clothes in a suitcase. It changes hands a couple of times before an old woman picks it up and sits in a plane. She is apprehended by the FBI, and the bundles of cash underneath the clothes in the suitcase, is discovered. At the Savoy, Savino chats with a man named Patrick Burn, who is from Washington. Burn reveals that he is from the FBI. Burn informs Savino that his skim money has been apprehended. Burn says from now on not a dime will make it to Chicago and he knows that will make guys in Chicago really unhappy. Savino looks worried on hearing all that Burn had to say.
Later, Barry Silver, a famous Hollywood producer, pays the Savoy a visit. Savino tells Mia, Barry is shooting a Western in the desert and it was Tommy's idea to host Silver and his production at the Savoy. Ralph and Jack on the other hand have a chat with Burt's wife. She can't imagine who would shoot Burt, "because he never had problems with anybody". Burt was the top salesman for Fairline the diet shake company and traveled all around the country setting up franchises. She says he stopped traveling when it was discovered that she has arrhythmia and would need surgery, or her heart could stop beating altogether. Burt was in Pittsburgh and "wasn't suppose to get back into town until tomorrow". Later, Ralph has lunch with Katherine and Agent Burn.
Turns out, Burn has been sent to set up office in Vegas, because it's the epicenter of mob activity in the country. Burn makes it clear that he wants to take down Savino. At the Savoy, Savino tells Mia they have to find another way to get the skim to Chicago. Ralph and Jack have a chat with Burt's boss. He says Burt didn't have to travel at all, because his office was just next door. He reveals "something came over him (Burt)" in the last few months. Turns out, Burt stopped attending meetings and his sales dropped. The boss feels it had something to do with the threatening phone calls Burt used to get every few days, from a man with a thick Russian accent. Burt had told his boss it was simply a customer who wanted his money back and had told his boss he could "handle it". Ralph and Jack find out that every month Burt used to wire $100 to someone named Nakeesh. The two, pay Nakeesh a visit.
Turns out, Nakeesh is the maiden name of a woman named Nadia Ladamer and she is Burt's wife. She says Burt would send her money for expenses, because he was traveling around the country for work, half the year. She says her maiden name is Hungarian and she was born in Budapest. She left Hungary with her mother when she was 3 months old. She says her brother Tamas came later. Tamas never liked Burt and recently he and Burt had a big argument during dinner. Nadia says they were probably arguing about money, because money is always an issue for Tamas. Mia finds out that Savino's car was found near the house where Rizzo was killed. She is now confident Savino was the one who got Rizzo killed. She tells Jack about it, but Jack tries to convince her that it might not be Savino.
She is adamant and Jack reluctantly says "I'll look into it, I promise. But you gotta keep a cool head around Savino". Tommy, the Savoy's entertainment director, makes Dixon the part time personal bodyguard of Violet, one of Silver's actresses. During the shoot, Violet finds out her lines have been cut. She is livid and makes away on a horse. Dixon is left with no other option but to give chase on another horse. Tamas admits to Ralph and Jack that he was blackmailing Burt. Tamas had basically found out Burt has another wife. Tamas says he saw who killed Burt. He recounts that he was following Burt in his own vehicle the day Burt got killed. He saw Burt pull over and stopped his car at a distance. He saw another car pull up behind Burt's car.
He couldn't see who it was, but he heard Burt being shot. "As soon as I heard the shot I got out of there" he says. He says he saw the killer's car: "white Cadillac with a black top". Turns out, Burt's wife Helen owns a car fitting that description. Helen is brought in for questioning. Ralph and Jack are left confused after questioning her, because she didn't seem to know anything about Burt's other wife. They can't fathom if she is pretending or telling the truth. Savino calls Jack for a meeting to his office. Savino wants Jack to distract Burn, while his men transport the skim out of the city. Jack tells Savino to "go to hell". Savino reminds Jack what he has done and says if Jack doesn't do his bidding the world will know who killed Johnny Rizzo.
Dixon has caught up with Violet and the two apparently seem to be bonding. Dixon even gets Violet to give him a demonstration of her acting and is impressed with what he sees. Jack in the meantime follows Savino's instruction and gives Agent Burn a false tip. Jack later informs Ralph that Fairline is a fraud company and is running a Ponzi scheme. Hence, when Burt wanted to get his money back from the company for his wife's operation his boss Herman Thrain refused. Burt must have as a result gotten suspicious and looked into the company's bank accounts and found out that the whole thing is "one big pyramid scheme". Thrain therefore murdered Burt. Next, Tamas is shown having a chat with Thrain, in his office. Tamas says he saw Thrain murder Burt.
Thrain says no one will believe him. "Is that a chance you are willing to take?" Tamas asks. "What do you want?" Thrain says. "Ten thousand dollars" Tamas replies. Thrain reluctantly agrees. Thrain says he didn't want to kill Burt, but he was "threatening to destroy" everything he (Thrain) built. Thrain suddenly attacks Tamas and discovers he's wearing a wire. Ralph enters the office and punches Thrain in the face. He is then placed under arrest. Later, Jack helps Ralph and Burn find the real skim, much to Savino's irritation.
He threatens to reveal the truth but Jack apparently doesn't care. Jack tells Mia it was he who killed her father. Jack tries to explain why he did it, but Mia who is livid asks him to "get out". Jack returns to the station and sees that Ralph too has discovered the truth. Jack tells Ralph everything that happened. Ralph promises Jack he will get him out of trouble. The episode ends at this point.

Ciara Princess Harris (born October 25, 1985), is an American recording artist, producer, dancer, fashion model, and actress. Born in Austin, Texas, Ciara made her debut in the summer of 2004 with the Billboard number-one single "Goodies". Pictures of Ciara.
Looking hotter than ever, Ciara's killer physique has landed her on the front page of Shape magazine's September 2015 issue.
The "Goodies" songstress explains that following the birth of her son, she struggled to lose her pregnancy weight and actually wound up putting on additional pounds- "When I was pregnant with Future [Jr.], one thing I learned quickly was, don't ever let a pregnant lady be hungry, because when I was, I was like the Tasmanian Devil! I indulged in all the good food the world has to offer. After he was born—when I couldn't exercise yet—I kept eating, and I gained 60 pounds. But as soon as the doctor said I could start training again, I was on the treadmill the very next day. Once I got back into it, I worked out two or three times daily. I would go to [trainer Gunnar Peterson] first for my one-hour training session, then I'd have two more cardio sessions later in the day. That, along with a really clean eating plan, was how I lost 60 pounds in four months. It was a very intense program, and I was extremely focused on it."
He's a Super Bowl champion and she's a chart-topping singer and it turns out Russell Wilson and Ciara are going against the grain with their celebrity relationship.
While chatting with Miles McPherson at The Rock Church in San Diego on Sunday (July 5) the Seattle Seahawks quarterback sang his "Goodies" gal's praises and revealed that they've committed to abstaining from sex until they're husband and wife.
Though she's best known for her vocal chops, Ciara just signed on to front the forthcoming Fall-Winter 2015 ads for Roberto Cavalli.
The lovely songstress told Style that she managed to snag the gig using her dancefloor charm- "I had a marvelous night dancing with Mr. Cavalli last fall in Dubai, and now my dream of being in one of their campaigns has come true."
She's on her way to a fully-fledged career comeback and Ciara gave her fans a little pre-release thrill leading up to the drop of her new album in May.
The 29-year-old siren unveiled her cover art this week, in which she covers her lady pillows with her hand while posing seductively. Furthermore, Ciara's new single "I Do" is already burning up the internet and she's slated to perform the ditty on the April 3rd episode of "Live with Kelly and Michael."
It's no secret that losing pregnancy weight can be tough and Ciara is a proud as can be that she's back in killer shape just four months after giving birth to baby Future Zahir Wilburn.
The 28-year-old singer snapped a selfie while wearing some Calvin Klein briefs to show that all of her hard work paid off big time.
It seems no one is safe from the hijinks of Ukrainian jokester Vitalii Sediuk as Ciara found herself on the receiving end of a very awkward hug on Tuesday (September 30).
The "Goodies" gal was on her way to the Valentino runway show as part of Paris Fashion Week when a thong-sporting Sediuk ran onto the white carpet and wrapped his arms around her.
They split announcement was a shock to many, but it looks like Ciara and Future are giving their relationship another try.
Sources close to the rapper told TMZ that Future is living with the mother of their son again and they are trying to work out their issues. The pair initially split after Ciara claimed Future cheated on her while he was touring across the US.
They had their first baby together a few months back, and things between Ciara and her fiancé Future are already over.
Believe it or not, the 30-year-old rapper couldn't keep it in his pants and decided to cheat on the "I'm Out" songstress despite the fact that she birthed his son.
She just gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and now it's time for Ciara to get ready for her trip down the aisle to meet hubby-to-be Future.
While posing in a few bridal gowns for the August/September 2014 issue of Brides magazine, the "Body Party" singer opened up about her wedding plans and what she looks forward to the most in her marriage to the 30-year-old rapper.
Sharing another darling look at their growing boy, Future posted a picture of his fiancé Ciara holding their son.
The adorable bundle rests his head on mommy's shoulder in the precious pic. This is the second photo the pair shared of their new addition.

Christopher Hoff, over at Rational Security discussed an interesting idea last week about VMWare's ESXi. One of his readers theorized that maybe ESXi-based servers shouldn't be considered as servers in some cases, but more like quasi-blade-chassis, since they essentially provide the same functionality.
They're exploiting the idea for auditing, but since I'm really too small for that sort of thing right now, I don't have to worry about that, much. I also don't worry about ESXi much, since even though it's free, the Virtual Infrastructure to really use it costs thousands of dollars.
I just figured I'd throw this out there to see what you all thought of it.
[Update] Fixed broken link. Thanks DDressler!

The fixing jig further includes a fastening flange including a hole portion for loosely inserting the test piece therethrough and a flange portion configured to come into contact with the insert nut, for holding the test piece in the accommodating recess portion via the insert nut so that the end surface of the test piece is pressed against the pressing member supported by the base.
|LASER WELDING QUALITY DETERMINATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - Welding quality of a welding section W welded by laser welding is determined by acquiring an image of the welding section W and its surrounding region by means of a high-speed camera
|METHOD OF HYBRID WELDING AND HYBRID WELDING APPARATUS - There are provided a laser diode, an irradiating section that applies an output from the laser diode to a base material in the form of a laser beam and thus melts the surface of the base material while moving the laser beam; a wire feeding section that continuously feeds welding wire to a melted portion of the surface of the base material moving along with the movement of the laser beam emitted from the irradiating section; and a wire heating power source that electrifies the welding wire so that the welding wire located in the melted portion of the base material surface is almost melted. In the case of thick plate welding, it is possible to improve operating efficiency and working accuracy, and in the case of welding a hard-to-weld material such as a high-tensile steel board, it is possible to perform welding while preventing deterioration and fracture of metal structure from occurring.

The mirror of historyJuly 04,2013Im often struck by how the arc of history often seems remarkably short. Particularly as Ive grown older, Ive noticed how important historical events or eras that Ive thought of as being remote from each other are often more closely linked than I might have imagined.
After all, if you line up end to end just three life spans of 80 years each, you get back to the year 1773. Some older people today remember meeting Civil War veterans and former slaves and remember where they were when they learned that Lindbergh had made it!
A wonderful example comes from a memoir by Alger Hisss son, Tony, entitled The View from Algers Window. Alger Hiss was a lawyer and an official at the State Department and the United Nations; he and his family summered in Peacham. In 1948 he was accused of being a Soviet spy and later convicted of perjury in relation to that allegation. It was that investigation led by a young member of the House Committee on Un-American Activities named Richard Nixon that first brought Nixon to national attention.
As a young lawyer, Alger Hiss had clerked for the great Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Holmes had been wounded three times in the Civil War; decades later, in a speech describing the experiences of Civil War veterans, he said, Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire.
Hisss favorite story about Justice Holmes was that when Holmes was a little boy, his grandmother, whom he revered, told him how she remembered looking out the front window of her fathers home on Beacon Hill in Boston and watching rank after rank of Redcoats march by. Later, the house became headquarters for the British commandant, Lord Howe. Holmes had an old mirror that used to hang in that house, and he told Hiss, Sometimes when I look into the glass, I think I can see Lord Howes bewigged face staring back at me. Can you see it, sonny? Can you see it? When Holmes died, he left the mirror to Hiss.
There it is: In one moving story, one mans narrative about his old boss and the bosss grandmother, we have the arc of American history, beginning even before the American Revolution, through the Civil War, to the 20th centurys Supreme Court and the Cold War. Alger Hiss called this kind of connectedness the Great Span, a sort of bucket brigade or relay race across time, a way for adjacent generations to let ideas and goals move intact from one mind to another across a couple hundred years or more. ... [I]ts purpose, [Hiss wrote,] was to keep unifying memories alive.
Thats one of the important things history does it preserves the memories and stories that connect us; it links the present with the past. It causes us to see ourselves and our heritage in new ways and inspires us to think boldly about what the future might look like.

SOLD OUT: The Pines record release with Jeffrey Foucault
Journey with The Pines further into darkness, and closer to the light with their new album Dark So Gold. Sounding both rooted in the past and yet with a fresh, contemporary vision, the band is indeed poised to go gold.
In the haunting opening track "Cry, Cry, Crow," The Pines conjure up rural specters and ghosts from the farms slowly disappearing throughout their native Midwest. By exploring the tension between city and small town and the loneliness that can exist in both settings, they traverse breakups and new beginnings on songs "If By Morning," "All the While," "Dead Feathers" and "Chimes." Ultimately, whether rocking out ("Rise Up and Be Lonely") or playing contemplative instrumentals ("Moonrise, IA" and "Losing the Stars"), The Pines succeed in drawing light out of the shadows. Dark So Gold is an album that provides solace in hard times and stands as The Pines' masterwork to date.
Opening will be simpatico singer-songwriter Jeffrey Foucault. As the New Yorker states, ""Foucault's voice, and his themes, are gruff, sombre, and deep, and his accompanying musicians [on the album], including the Pretenders' Eric Heywood, on pedal steel, create a sparse, dramatic soundscape."

By the authors of Broadband Economies and Seizing Our Destiny
In their third book, ICF's co-founders take on a central issue of our time: how to balance two essential demands of the Digital Age economy – innovation and employment – to create communities that thrive.
Brain Gain: How Innovative cities create job growth in an age of disruption is a survival manual for cities and regions on how to build economic prosperity and meet social challenges in an age of technological change.
Why has the global economy created a projected jobs gap of 75 million persons? Why are jobless recoveries now commonplace and why are middle-skilled jobs being erased? Brain Gain explains how innovation combined with Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is driving global economic change and has created a new force to be dealt with – the global connectivity of the broadband Internet.
Brain Gain probes the big issues of work and well-being, the innovation economy, offshoring, immigration and the future of big cities and small towns as they deal with the broadband economy. Innovation and advances in communications technology destroy jobs but also create new ones, cities must decide if they want to take actions that will provide a brain gain or a brain drain.
The book explores these crucial issues through the experiences of cities and regions that have faced challenging problems and found imaginative solutions. With the guidance of the Intelligent Community Forum, citizens in aspiring communities have applied leadership, vision, and ambition to create celebrated success stories in cities as diverse as Taichung, Taiwan, home to 2.6 million people, and Mitchell, South Dakota USA, home to only 15,000. In all, Brain Gain profiles 18 communities with the authors' latest insights from more than 10 years of research into what makes the most Intelligent Communities on the planet.

Funding via Kingsbridge Microfinance Ltd
Abena works very hard to take care of the children as her ex-husband does not contribute in any way as far as the children's upkeep is concerned. She sells fresh yam in the local market square. She procures the tubers of yam from the farmers in her community and those in the surrounding villages. Abena has been in business for eight years. She also distributes the yam to some food vendors in her community. She wants a loan to buy tubers of yam on a large scale so that she can distribute to more customers, and probably trek to nearby towns to sell, so she can increase her profit margin. It is her dream to give all her children good formal education.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

Oh dear how sad for this poor African grey parrot - what a shame some moron of a lesser intelligence spent time teaching him a whole heap of swearwords instead of something intelligent! This isn't funny, its very sad. These people are not fit to own a Parrot. Parrots can have the intelligence & understanding of a 3 - 5 yr old child & they suffer greatly at the hands of humans in captivity. Try looking up parrot rescue sites on the web & see the horror stories.........

UMATILLA, Ore. (AP) — Police in northeast Oregon arrested a suspect in a domestic violence case who was armed with a handgun and barricaded himself inside a trailer for three hours.
The East Oregonian (http://bit.ly/LbHc7v ) reports that 29-year-old Francisco Garcia Torres walked out peaceably and surrendered Monday night.
Police said his estranged girlfriend reported he'd assaulted and threatened her in Hermiston.
When officers went to his home in Umatilla, it took three hours of negotiations over the telephone to get him to come out.
Hermiston police Lt. Travis Eynon says Torres "was having a rough day, and it took him a while to decide what to do and how to do it."

Yesterday was the first time I'd been back to any Dr in fourteen months....Have been feeling great! Except for a treatable yeast infection, which manifest itself in hives, am doing very well.
D3 boosts the immune system, allergies are all related to a dysfunction of immune system. A study in Norway says it's not a true vitamin, but is a endocrine produced/used by the skin. Everyone I know who has been taking it has had a miraculous healing....and it's cheap. Sure takes care of SAD. Dad's Oncologist, after seeing his healing, is recommending it to his patients.
Since you and your husband have allergies (and from what you say, your daughter having issues), have you tested your residence and surrounding area (underground waste, old mines, drinking water, molds, etc)for possible causes.
You remain in my prayers, metmom. I pray that God will guide your new doctors and the answer will be found. I pray that God will grant you peace, comfort, and renewed optimism. My prayers also continue for your whole family.
