NTT Data
NTT Data North America uses VMware Technologies to Optimize Infrastructure and Deliver a Private Cloud
Headquartered in the United States, NTT Data North America provides consulting, staffing, outsourcing, and cloud services. In 2008, NTT Data North America's India development center virtualized its infrastructure to reduce server sprawl and reclaim datacenter real estate. As cloud based infrastructure as a service models matured, NTT Data North America's India development center decided to transform the way it provided infrastructure resources to developers. The business used VMware IT Business Management to optimize its infrastructure investments. By late 2015, the center was preparing to launch a private cloud based on VMware vCloud Suite into production.
"VMware IT Business Management also enables us to customize values to more accurately reflect the returns we are achieving on our investments. For example, I can calculate and input a higher value for a server purchased in 2015 than a server purchased in 2010, and add the necessary changes to the cost of a virtual machine being used by a particular business unit."
Leonardo-Finmeccanica: the digital transformation of infrastructure starts with a software-defined data center
The Security & Information Systems division at Leonardo-Finmeccanica has embarked on a transformation. It begins with the development of infrastructure technology to achieve agility and simplicity in the provision of IT services. Leonardo-Finmeccanica has selected VMware as the provider of the best technology solutions and advisory services to create a software-defined data center.
"It is a decisive project for us, and this was the best time to implement it. VMware has proven to be the right partner to do it with, and they have provided support of the highest quality."
California Natural Resources Agency
Hybrid Cloud Management Unifies California Natural Resources Agency
The California natural resources agency is a collection of 28 different agencies many which had their own dedicated IT departments. The goal was to consolidate and share a common infrastructure yet give each group has their own autonomy in terms of resources, security, network traffic, etc. The Central IT group became an independent provider of infrastructure and application services that resided both on premise and in the public cloud. The ability to dynamically place workloads and stretch their infrastructure by utilizing vCloud Air was extremely beneficial to delivering IT service more efficiently. vRealize Suite automated the delivery of services and then allow proactive monitoring while allowing IT to better understand costs and share that info with the business. The result is IT being perceived as a business enabler while at the same time reducing operational costs by 30% and increasing capacity by 300%.
California Natural Resources Agency
CNRA Changes the Way They Do Networking with VMware NSX and vRealize Automation
The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) needed to find a way to meet the rapidly growing needs of 33 different organizations for secure, reliable and high performing infrastructure and applications. CNRA infrastructure is based on VMware's Software Defined Data center to configure compute, storage, networking and security services. VMware NSX allows network and security to be configured dynamically to meet the unique needs of each business. vRealize Automation provides the appropriate governance regarding networking and security policies. The combination not only allows CNRA IT to accelerate time to market for their different organizations while also improve reliability of the services delivered and lowering costs. CNRA has been able to increase technology delivery capabilities by 300% while reducing costs by 30%.

ATS Automation
ATS Automation Accelerates VDI Performance by 7x with VMware Virtual SAN at One-Fifth the Cost of Competing Solutions
ATS Automation wanted to expand their virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) but found that doing so with their existing SAN would be cost prohibitive. By implementing VMware Virtual SAN™ to support their VMware Horizon® virtual desktop infrastructure, ATS was able to improve VDI performance by 7x, enabling remote workers to use demanding 3D CAD programs for the first time. Moreover, the cost for the solution was only one-fifth the cost of competitor offerings.
"From no one wanting to use VDI, we've evolved to now everyone wants it, and they are happy. It enabled our remote workers to do something they couldn't reliably do before. It really improved their ability to work with performance-hungry apps."
Phoenix Software
Phoenix Software delivers SaaS service run on VMware vCloud Air
Phoenix Software is a UK Solution Provider partner which owns a traditional software company, an ISV, called License Dashboard. License Dashboard wants to deliver a SaaS service and as the software already runs on VMware the easiest way forward is to deliver this software from vCloud Air. A further advantage is that License Dashboard will be able to deliver SaaS services around the world by using vCloud Air's datacenters across the globe.
A.T. Still University
A.T. Still University greatly improves firewall performance and security with cost-effective VMware NSX solution
ATSU revolutionized its schools and clinics with the cost-effective security solution, VMware NSX, which increases firewall performance, meets HIPAA compliance, automates services, and improves agility, resulting in more affordable tuition and better healthcare services.
"VMware NSX is the most revolutionary development in our data center security in more than a decade. Not only do we save a significant amount of money in hardware costs, the micro-segmentation available through VMware NSX provides a dramatically more secure design than we could get with a physical firewall with DMZs."
Secure-24 Lowers Costs, Speeds Deployment, and Gains Flexibility by Virtualizing SAP HANA with VMware vSphere Solution
As a certified SAP partner, managed cloud services provider Secure-24 has hosted systems using the SAP HANA in-memory database since it was released in 2010. Yet unlike the majority of the applications Secure-24 hosts, SAP HANA was only available as a dedicated physical appliance—until recently, when SAP opened the door to virtualizing SAP HANA via the VMware vSphere® platform. Today, Secure-24 offers a more flexible SAP HANA service at a significantly reduced cost utilizing vSphere virtualization. Founded in 2001 in Southfield, Michigan, Secure-24 provides managed hosting and private cloud services to medium and large global enterprises. With a focus on application hosting, Secure-24 relies on more than 500 employees and a network of Tier IV and Tier IV+ data centers to deliver highly secure and highly available services that scale to meet clients' evolving business and budget requirements.
"There's a clear and growing desire in the marketplace to be able to take advantage of the power of SAP HANA without a huge capital outlay. VMware allows us to fulfill that desire by offering a virtualized solution."
National Informatics Centre
VMware helps the Indian government revolutionize service delivery to citizens
National Informatics Centre (NIC) is the premier ICT organization of the Indian Government. It works closely with central & state government departments, agencies, and district administration to deliver e-governance services. The organization has undertaken the largest-ever deployment in the Indian government to establish a VMware-powered private cloud. This enabled NIC to reduce the time required to provision ICT resources for government projects from six months to a few days, further lowering costs by consolidating its technology infrastructure & enabling government departments to focus on innovation rather than administration.
"The six months required to procure, commission, and install hardware is a thing of the past. Departments simply send us an online request and the infrastructure they need is available in a day or two from the National Cloud."
Zettagrid Improves Availability by Easing Public Cloud Management with VMware Virtual SAN Solution
Operating the easiest, fastest, and most highly available public cloud in its market, Zettagrid is constantly looking for ways to improve the infrastructure and services it provides to customers. When it came time to future-proof its architecture to ensure performance and service delivery, it turned to the VMware Virtual SAN™ solution to increase storage capacity. In the process it gained operational efficiencies, lowered operating costs, and became agile enough to grow its IT environment with the business.
"Virtual SAN allows us to have the best-of-breed HCI technology. The simplicity and flexibility is such a massive factor. It makes it easy for our cloud operations team to manage storage along with our VMware environment, and it also allows us to scale as and when we need it."

NX Systems
NX Systems discusses its journey with VMware so far and the SDDC solutions it has deployed to help improve the scalability, continuity and flexibility of its payments platform
"vSAN is helping us to achieve the scalability that we always wanted to achieve. First we looked at the software-designed, and then we looked at the hardware design and the virtualization, and the three of them are coming nicely together to actually give the business what it wants." "We offer our own financial services, but are also offering our own platform-as-a-service. So having vSAN looking at NSX and getting the automation portal together is helping us to bring up [our platform] in different locations, so even when customers out of the blue tell us they want our platform in a PCI environment, we use all the bits and pieces coming from the product to actually give them an environment that is fully controlled and still monitored by us."
Node Africa
Node Africa leads Africa to be a 'Cloud First' continent – deploying a greenfield data centre infrastructure in six weeks
"The amount of money we have saved on networking equipment as a result of using NSX as the basis of our network has been amazing. We saved $10,000 on just our initial network infrastructure investment, that's big for a green fields start-up."

I recently started having problems with my speedometer. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I had it in repair shop at least 3 times. They replaced some sensor in the rear end and the transmission shop checked some sensor in the transmission and said it was fine. I noticed some small greasy wires connected to transmission housing. What do you think causing the problem?

New University of Edinburgh Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Staff Network planned, to coincide with LGBT history month.
Some of you may be aware that February is LGBT history month, when there are opportunities to celebrate the lives and achievements of the LGBT community.
To coincide with LGBT History Month, the University wishes to commence plans to set up an LGBT network for our employees.
The project to create the network is being taken forward by Dave Rigby from our University HR Services Team: Dave is a member of our LGBT community and is very keen to hear from people who are interested in joining this network, and additionally from anyone who wants to take on a role in its creation.
Anyone interested should initially email Dave to register their interest by the end of February.
If you would like to discuss this with Dave before responding, he can be contacted on 0131 650 9673.
Please note that all responses will be treated as confidential and replies to emails will be sent by him individually.
We propose to hold an initial exploratory meeting at some point in March/April so that those interested can discuss and agree how the network would operate, the purposes of the network and any key roles we identify.
Further information about this will be sent individually to those who have expressed an interest nearer the time of the meeting.

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Alvaro Saborio scored twice in the second half and Real Salt Lake ran its unbeaten streak against New England to five games, beating the Revolution 2-1 on Saturday night.
Salt Lake (7-3-1) has dealt the Revolution two of their worst losses in club history during the unbeaten string that stretches to 2009 — winning 6-0 in 2009 and 5-0 in 2010.
New England (3-6-0) struck first on Blake Brettschneider's goal in the 22nd minute. He dribbled into the left side of the box and blasted a right footed shot past goalkeeper Nick Rimando into the right corner.
Salt Lake tied it in the 34th minute. Kyle Beckerman dropped the ball in the middle of a cluster of players outside the goalmouth, Javier Morales knocked it down with his head and it fell at Sabario's feet for an easy goal into an empty net after goalkeeper Matt Reis dived for the ball.
Saborio put Salt Lake ahead in the 55th minute. Morales booted a free kick over a three-man defensive wall and sent a cross toward Saborio near the far post. He outjumped the closest New England defender and headed the ball into the net.

Pondering Financing, New Partnerships, and "Dogumentaries" in Berlin
by Eugene Hernandez
The 54th Berlinale, the Berlin International Film Festival, opens tonight (Thursday) here in Germany with the European launch of Anthony Minghella's "Cold Mountain." On the eve of this year's festival, director Minghella and about 75 film professionals gathered at the new Ritz Carlton at Potsdamer Platz for the second Screen International European Film Summit, which was this year dubbed, "Modernising European Cinema." Minghella joined Screen's Mike Goodridge on stage for a morning interview, while the rest of the day was spent looking at production, financing, and distribution issues facing the European film community.
Sales agents, the folks who drive the annual European Film Market that runs concurrent with the Berlinale here in Potsdamer Platz, took a minor beating during a morning session, entitled "Collective Power: Buying and Selling Alliances," that looked at ways that producers are partnering with filmmakers and others to handle film sales in different ways. Among those who gathered to explore the topic were Chris Mercier of Indie Circle, Donald Ranvaud from Buena Onda, Margaret Nicoll of Entera Entertainment, and Ivan Hronec from SPI International.
Ranvaud of Buena Onda Films, the founder and editor of FRAMEWORK Magazine in the '70s and '80s, recently worked to unite "City of God" director Fernando Meirelles and Walter Salles ("Central Station," "Motorcycle Diaries") in a unique and still emerging effort. The filmmakers are launching what is described as a sales agent/production company that Ranvaud calls "a new model for sales." He added Wednesday that Mike Leigh and producing partner Simon Channing Williams have also signed on for an initiative that has already produced four films, with five more to come.
Ranvaud explained that he will fully announce the initiative's additional plans in Cannes this year, but indicated that the goal is to "have the directors more integrated in the sales process to reduce the cost in the structuring of the sales company." He also added that the group is structuring a P&A fund for distribution of the films in the United States. He hopes to have it established in advance of Cannes this year. "We want to put transparency, accountability, and creativity back at the center of the business."
Earlier, in the "Picking Up the Pieces: Production after the Meltdown" session, Screen's Colin Brown led a discussion with Peter Aalbaek Jensen, Lars von Trier's partner at Zentropa, and Kim Magnusson of Nordisk Film. The two producers are creating films on opposite ends of the spectrum in Europe, with Jensen making the lower budget Dogme films and other movies on DV at Zentropa and Magnusson working on larger-budget productions.
"You can make fantastic things for no money," smiled Jensen, who now runs the largest production company in Scandinavia. His latest low-cost, DV initiative is intended to inspire new ways of making documentaries. The new effort is dubbed "Dogumentary." After the session, Jensen told indieWIRE that he plans to make six to ten docs this year in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
Joking that he and his colleagues are like Vikings, Jensen added that he is pursuing productions in Africa, with further details to be announced. "Why not?" he asked during the panel, adding, "Talent is talent, money is money, (it is) not a big problem if you have a modest budget."
An afternoon session, "Risky Business: Banking on Bankability," looked at the state of film finance today, led by session chair John Sloss of Cinetic Media. Heather Mansfield of Mansfield Associates, Adrian Ward of The Lewis Horwitz Organisation, Mo Yusef of Invicta Capital, and Robert Strosser of the advisory board of German Association of Media Funds joined Sloss. While efforts like Mansfield's represent financial institutions, like The Royal Bank of Scotland and Ward's group also works on gap financing efforts, Yusef is primarily an equity partner in financing UK qualifying films.
Mansfield said that European producers do not understand the value of financing that can be gained from the four banks that offer gap monies. She cautioned, though, that banks would not come in for less than $1 million. "The difference between gap and equity (financing) is if you get an equity layer they will want a sliver of your upside forever," Mansfield said. "Adrian and I put (in) gap money (and) as soon as we are re-paid, we are gone -- you should look at that as a benefit not as a drag factor."
"I would far sooner put money into 10 $1 million movies, than a $10 million movie," said Yusef. "I feel I could sell that," he added, noting that on the contrary today, "The individual who is inclined to put his equity into a film will be more drawn to a $10 million project (with an actor that the has heard of) -- a portfolio approach is much more interesting."
Sloss asked the panelists to what extent financiers, either gap or equity, take into account pure creative elements that are based more on taste and quality.
"Banks shouldn't," Yusef said, "The strength of the creative elements will I assume determine the level of pre-sales," he offered, saying that that will guide banks in making their decision.
"There is a creative rule of thumb," offered Mansfield, saying that even with a film from a first-timer a good script is a good script and a young director can be protected with an experienced cinematographer, but at the end of the day, producers need to be seasoned. "You cannot lend millions to someone who has not handled millions."
"We do read scripts as a minor portion of due diligence," Ward said, adding that he also considers the film's pre-sales as a sign that a project is worthy."
"We don't pretend to know anything about what is a good script and what will work and what won't work," Yusef said, "But it's changing. We are getting involved on more of a risk level, that's a problem and a challenge -- because we know even less, than the people who greenlight these things, about what will work and what won't work. So how do we decide?"
"That is specifically what I do," inserted Mansfield. "It's a question of linking exactly with what your bank is expecting to achieve."
"It's not a business that most rational banks would be in," said Ward, "That's why there are only four banks in the world that do gap financing right now. It's about building up the layers -- lets look at the sales company, let's look at the track record of their films, the genre." Continuing he added, "There are no absolutes, but it's all we have to go on. I cannot over emphasize the role of the pre-sales. Even if we see a lot of negative, if pre-sales are good, then that will stand out. We need to be able to make a rational decision and justify that to the credit committee."
"It you had a choice why would you go for equity," posed Yusef, "If you believe in your project, you wouldn't choose equity," he said, asking why filmmakers would want to give up pieces of their films and adding that perhaps the movies that are seeking equity money are ones that their makers don't feel so confident about.
"Sadly, I think you are thinking too hard," smiled Mansfield, with Sloss nodding in agreement. "There are myriad reasons for equity, and equity can be priced in other ways, I think that's a whole other panel, really," Sloss added. Concluding the discussion, one attendee asked how it is that in America so many movies are being made with independent money and no government support.
"There is no real process in the U.S. to ordain people through film schools and put them into a system to finance their first movie," Sloss said. "Ninety-nine percent get financing by family and friends and credit cards." Continuing he said, "America is full of people who are willing to do that, and unfortunately, and I really mean this, will basically mortgage their house and their future to follow their vision. We (at Cinetic) see 400 of them and get our pick of them and we've taken the ones that have really worked."
"The streets are littered with the bodies of the people who shouldn't have made their movies," Sloss said, pausing a beat and concluding the discussion.

Indiana high school wrestling has been a moving target in recent years with changes in rules and weight divisions and elimination of the annual team tournament after a 17-year run.
Even the rankings are different. Instead of one poll, three exist, with student enrollment factoring into yet another prep sport.
Familiarity does exist, however. One such example is the consistency of the Franklin Community High School program under 27th-year head coach Bob Hasseman. Currently ranked third in Class 3A, the Grizzly Cubs earlier this month had climbed as high as second behind two-time defending state champion Perry Meridian.
Either qualifies as an impressive landing spot for a team that has 12 of its 14 weight classes manned by underclassmen.
"We've definitely stepped it up this year as a team and wanted to prove we could do it," said senior Garrett Fentz, who so far this season has a 28-5 record at 170 pounds. "It's hard sometimes, but it's good to have those expectations from coach."
Hasseman's previous seasons included groups of young men he simply knew were going to flourish. Others due to youth, varsity inexperience, injuries or other factors were more of the wait-and-see variety.
As it stands, Franklin, which owns a 26-1 mark in dual meets, is expected to make its mark at Saturday's Mooresville Section-
"I really didn't know we would be this competitive. We only have two seniors, and we had a few holes in the lineup to fill," Hasseman said. "I knew we would be OK but didn't know we would be as good as we probably are. There is good chemistry on this team. They seem to like each other."
Last year's Grizzly Cubs produced five individual sectional champions: D.J. Smith (106 pounds), Jacob Stevenson (138), Fentz (145), Luke Kriech (152) and Conner Tolley (195). Franklin edged county rival Center Grove in the team standings 234-227.
All are back. Stevenson (now 152), Fentz (170), Kriech (160) and Tolley (220) find themselves in new weight divisions. Kriech made it all the way to the state championship match at 152 but lost a heartbreaking 2-1 decision to Muncie South's Isaiah Bradley at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Smith has remained at 106 with a 30-3 record to show for it. Other starters for the Grizzly Cubs in the lower weights are Shane Wilkerson (113 pounds, 20-10), Peyton Reese (120, 21-11), Jacob Kriech (126, 19-11), Skyler Lykins (132, 27-6) and Austin Burnside (138, 18-14). Meanwhile, Matt Wyrick is 17-10 at 145 pounds, followed by Jake Stevenson (152, 31-2), Luke Kriech (160, 30-3), Fentz at 170, Mike Petrole (182, 28-5), Jacob Brownfield (195, 30-4), Tolley (220, 29-2) and heavyweight McBrian Groler (25-9).
Earlier this season, Hasseman was watching his wrestlers practice when it became apparent to him this group, young as it is, might wind up exceeding expectations. He liked the collective work ethic and focus, the way they unselfishly worked to make each other better.
Maybe Franklin can find itself contending for a team title the night of Feb. 16. Hasseman has been around long enough to know some good fortune also must accompany the Grizzly Cubs on their postseason trek for this to be possible.
"I think we would have to get about six kids to (the state finals), and they would have to place pretty high," he said. "It's what your draw is, how you match up and how you wrestle that day. A lot of things play into placing in the state tournament."

This review is from: EVGA TEGRA NOTE 7 Tablet - 16GB Flash, 1GB RAM Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 4
Pros: Powerful little tablet. Blows my two year old Acer out of the water, performance-wise. I find the display perfectly fine, though some people seem to find it lacking. Greatly appreciate that it has minimal added programs/bloatware and that EVGA has fought the urge to twiddle with the Android OS in any substantial way.
Cons: The charging port is flimsy and the charging plug wiggles around in it. And the tablet is only two weeks old. It works fine for now, but if you look around at the reviews on this tablet you will see that people are experiencing charging problems as the charging port is flimsy and prone to breakage.
Other Thoughts: Love the tablet and will treat the charging port with utmost care in the hopes that it will not break on me.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 White 4G LTE Dual-Core 1.5 GHz 16GB Unlocked GSM Cell Phone
Pros: Good While It Lasted
Cons: Phone charger port ceased to work. If it is out of warranty, even by a few weeks, Good Guys will not provide support. Should a phone die in a little over 3 months? Got a brief, blunt email from them that essentially said "not our problem if it is out of warranty." Did not even pretend to care.
Other Thoughts: You buy a phone from them and it dies, good luck!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
Pros: Good price for upgrading from Windows XP to W 7. Still prefer Windows 7 to Windows 8. Having the whole touch screen Windows 8 approach dumped upon the masses just shows how indifferent Microsoft is to the consumer.
Cons: Having to buy W 7 because Microsoft no longer supports XP. Good way to "encourage" people to buy an upgraded operating system from Microsoft, right?
Slow, slow shipping. Believe it was via DHL. Stupidly convoluted route where the package was routed hundreds of miles out of the way before being directed to my address.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Clippers have waived guard Maalik Wayns, the team announced Sunday.
Wayns, 22, did not appear in a game for the Clippers this season after missing the first 33 games of the season due to a torn left meniscus. His contract would have been guaranteed if he were on the roster past Tuesday.
Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Saturday that the Clippers would be looking at point guard options with Chris Paul potentially sidelined 3-5 weeks with a separated right shoulder and Wayns at the time was still a question mark.
"There are a few guys who could get out of their contracts in China," Rivers said. "So you're looking at all that stuff."
The Clippers' roster currently sits at 14, allowing the team to add another player.
Wayns appeared in six games with the Clippers last season and averaged 3.3 points and 1.2 assists. Overall, Wayns has played in 27 career NBA games with the Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers.

Best Uses
Comments about Fender DG-8S Acoustic Guitar Value Pack:
I am a music teacher. I recommend this guitar pack for all my students to get started. They have all been very happy with it and I also bought it for my son for his Birthday. The reasons are:
1. You get solid spruce top in this price range! That makes the guitar sound so much better and is very unusual at this price point. Usually you get all laminate wood at this price. The sides and back are still laminate, but the solid top sold me on this guitar.
2. The guitar is set up well and holds a tune. I have all my students switch to Elixir Nanoweb custom light 11 gauge strings. After that is done, this guitar plays easily and that makes all the difference between someone getting frustrated and quitting versus someone loving guitar because their instrument sounds good and plays well.
3. It is very beautiful. The guitar is impressive looking. I am only familiar with the natural wood version and it is shiny and beautiful with a binding around the body and a mother of Pearl Rosette. These are luxuries not usually found at this price point.
4. It is a Fender. A well-respected brand that has been around a long time! I also own a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender tube amp and love them too.
5. The pack also provides a tuner, strap and a nice gig bag to safely transport the guitar. The value is exceptional here!

Recap: 'American Idol' - Sudden Death, Part 3 - 10 More Girls Perform
Last week was a mixed bag on "American Idol."
On Wednesday, a group of 10 women, led by Angela Martin and Amber Holcomb, really shined. There were only a couple truly bad performances and I could have justified sending six or seven singers through.
On Thursday, a group of 10 men, led by nobody in particular, laid a huge egg. I wouldn't have let more than two or three of them advance.
Another group of 10 women will be hitting the Las Vegas stage on Wednesday (February 27) and while we've seen indications that a few of them are talented... Who knows?
8:01 p.m. ET. Give a warm Vegas welcome to our judges.
8:02 p.m. Of tonight's 10 performers, I think I recognize... six or seven of them? Or maybe I just recognize Zoanette enough for five or six normal women? Up first...
Singer: MELINDA ADEMI
Song: "Nobody's Perfect"
My Take: The thing about Jessie J is that she has enough vocal range that when a song starts low and works its way up the ladder, she has the voice to sing both the starting parts and the choruses. Alas, Melinda Ademi does not have the range. The song is WAY too low and her voice gets buried for the first 30 seconds in the song. She has a couple decent moments towards the end, but in the middle she's pretty frantic, trying to stay with the tempo of the song. The worst thing, though? Angela Miller sang this one last week and she kinda rocked it. You don't want to get compared to Angela Miller this season. It's just not good business. On the same song, Angela was more composed, showed far greater range and really just looked like a star. Melinda looked like a nervous little kid.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: "What a great way to start the show. I really loved that performance," Keith says, claiming that Melinda has "so much raw talent and so much potential." Nicki calls Melinda a "little ladybug" and, accurately, compares Melinda negatively to Angela's performance from last week. "I don't know if you had enough big moments," says Randy, repeating his Season 12 mantra. "I feel like perhaps being in this venue, the nerves got to you a bit," Mariah excuses, wishing her the best of luck.
Singer: CANDICE GLOVER
Song: "Natural Woman"
My Take: Lots of returning contestants tonight. Or two in a row, at least. This is a ballsy choice for Candice. I mean, it's Carole King and it's Aretha *and* it's Kelly Clarkson on "Idol." For the first minute, it's strong, but by-the-numbers. It's very good karaoke, but it's not above karaoke. Or maybe it's above karaoke, but it's still not inspired. Candice closes very strong, with a huge last note, but also with a few personal flourishes. It's possible that my being slightly underwhelmed by the first half is brought about by how easy Candice made that look. It's not an easy song and she made it seem like a breeze, because she's got that kind of voice. She's advancing.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: "You're a natural singer," Keith sings to Candice. "You definitely were born to do this," says Nicki, confused by Candice not making it past Vegas last season. "Your confidence is worth a billion words," Nicki adds. Randy has seen Candice better than that, but he wants her to "feel free." "I definitely agree that you are a bona fide singer and that's what this competition is all about," Mariah says.
Singer:JULIANA CHAHAYED
Song: "Skyscraper"
My Take: Good for Juliana as tonight's first instrument player. The 15-year-old strums a huge guitar amiably and does a slowed, breathy Demi Lovato cover. I don't love the upper register that she's determined to use on the choruses. I don't know if she's missing notes because of her sense of pitch or if she's being hampered by nervousness, that renders her voice even more fluttery than it already would be. What I do love is that she's a teenager, but she's determined to be musical and unique, or if not unique, distinctive. Juliana's voice can't compare to Candice's voice, for example. But her musicality makes her possibly more interesting to me. If she doesn't advance, I'm going to be very angry, because she's TRYING and I think her potential for growth is immense. I mean, she's standing up there shaking through the entire song, but I can also tell she's enjoying this. She could get so much better with two or three months of the "Idol" spotlight. [Or she could freak out and breakdown entirely, I guess.]
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: Keith says that Juliana was struggling with pitch, which is true. But he loves her "purity of tone" and calls her "totally real." Nicki likes that she has a signature sound already. Nicki can picture herself at a Juliana show, but she isn't sure if she's going to get lost in this competition. Randy loves the honesty of her deliver. "There was an angelic quality that I felt," Mariah says, also calling her "celestial."
Singer: JETT HERMANO
Song: "Only Girl"
My Take: Who? Have we seen this 25-year-old legal assistant before? Oh, I really want to like Jett. She's at a piano and she's actually doing some playing. But I really don't like her voice. It's just too head-y and shrill and it builds and builds and builds, but it builds so slowly that it never quite gets wherever I feel like it's heading. I appreciate that she's doing her own, much more musical, version of this Rihanna song, but I fear that the point of this sort of version is to say, "Yo, I have a better voice than Rihanna has," which isn't all that difficult, but I'm not so sure that Jett does. But I'm interested in Jett. I'd be willing to give her a second shot, even if I think she has less growth potential than Juliana does. And I really wanna emphasize that these last three performances were all better and more distinctive than anything we saw from the men on Thursday. So... Yay? Except that five of those men got to advance and only five of these women will get the same chance.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: "I love that you did that unique arrangement of that song," Keith says, praising her for bringing out a different kind of sexiness in the song. "I thought it was going to climax to something and I never felt that," Nicki says. Randy liked the restraint, except that he didn't like the restraint. Mariah calls her "an interesting addition" to the competition, also calling her "intriguing."
Singer: CRISTABEL CLACK
Song: "No One"
My Take: That was a very long story Ryan let 29-year-old worship leader Cristabel tell about how God wants her in the competition. Very long. I'm not sure that Cristabel isn't a Maya Rudolph sketch character, but that's not an insult, because Maya Rudolph's got a pretty great voice. In fact, Maya Rudolph almost certainly has a better voice. Cristabel sounds good at first, but her voice seems to hit a ceiling on the choruses. I don't know if she's got a cold or if she's just got a limitation to her range. When she's in her happy place, I like listening to her, but when she bumps against that limitation, I'm not sure. The judges, however, are completely sure. She gets at least two standing ovations.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: Keith loves her "Soul-croaky-cool thing." Hmmm... He seems to have thought that what I didn't like was her "thing." Now I'm a bit confused. Nicki suggests that today, Cristabel's rasp got a little out-of-control. Yes. I agree with Nicki on that. "I think you were on-point. I love the rasp," Randy says. Mariah liked an earlier performance from Cristabel a bit more, but she salutes Cristabel and all background singers.
Singer: AUBREY CLELAND
Song: "Sweet Dreams"
My Take: Aubrey is a very, very pretty girl and she really, really wants us to think that she could be Beyonce-esque. But her stage presence it a bit wooden -- the tight dress is helping except for the ways it isn't helping -- and her voice is very good, but also forgettable. In terms of risk management, you could definitely get behind Aubrey. She's young and beautiful and her voice is good, so there's a lot of upside to her. She won't embarrass herself or the show, but I'm just a bit cold on her. Or maybe I'm cold on this performance? I'm not sure.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: Randy loves Aubrey's poise and the fire in her voice. "I am obsessed with you," Nicki says, telling Aubrey that she could model if she didn't sing. "You look the part, you sound the part, you felt right," Nicki adds. "You're a very great commercial artist," Randy says, but he doesn't think it was the perfect song for her. Nicki disagrees and Keith jumps into the fray. "I think you're limitless," Mariah says.
Singer: RACHEL HALE
Song: "Nothing But The Water"
My Take: I love the musical arrangement on this song. We've got some fun stuff going on behind Rachel. The harmonica player is going nuts and the guitar section is having a great time. What Rachel does is blend well with the band. Sometimes she lets the band shine. Sometimes she shines herself. If this were a concert, I'd feel like she did exactly the right thing. I'm not completely sure that she did the right thing for "American Idol." That was a great performance from the ensemble, but I'm more likely to talk about the harmonica playing than Rachel, I fear.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: Keith also starts by giving a shout-out to the band. "I felt like the song maybe got on top of you a bit in parts," Keith suggests. "Where did this birth of crazy confidence come from?" Nicki asks. The answer? Prayer. "I'm excited that you came alive," Nicki adds. Randy was glad that we got an up-tempo song tonight, calling her "fearless." More discussion of prayer. "I may have heard you more on other songs and other performances," Mariah notes correctly. Rachel is chirpy and frantic in person, which actually makes me admire how well she channeled that energy in the performance.
9:04 p.m. I'm not sure we've had any BAD performances tonight, though I'm pretty sure Melinda Ademi isn't advancing. So far, I'd have Candice and Juliana as sure things, but with the others, I'm not passionate one way or the other. I want a bit more passion. From them and from me...
Singer: BREANNA STEER
Song: "Bust the Windows"
My Take: This Jazmine Sullivan song practically requires a certain fierceness from a performance and Beanna's got a lot of fierceness. Apparently it comes from Hurricane Isaac. She's definitely connected nicely to both the song and to the audience. I think she has a very radio-friendly voice, instantly and easily packageable and commercial. It's a little vocally thin for me, but she doesn't lack for range or attitude. Aubrey and Breanna are very similar and they have a lot of the same strengths, but I got more of a spark from Breanna. I want to look at Aubrey, but I want to WATCH Breanna. Does that make sense? She has my attention.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: Keith doesn't know the song, which makes Nicki want to strangle him. "You sang it right," Keith insists anyway. "Miss Little Ladybug. Work. Work, work, work," Nicki says. "You and Aubrey should probably do a group," Nicki suggests. Unfortunately, this isn't "X Factor." Randy agrees that Breanna has the whole package. "You brought us drama. You brought so much drama Keith believed you would bust the windows out his damn expensive car," Randy adds. Mariah loved the song and the presentation.
Singer: JANELLE ARTHUR
Song: "Just a Kiss"
My Take: Janelle is full-on twangy country and while she's got a good, big voice she's wrestling with a lot of the notes. She keeps hitting notes wrong and fighting them into shape, which leads to a sound of exertion that isn't always pleasant to listen to. It sounds hard in places and Janelle ought to be making it sound effortless, like a country version of Candice. Was this the wrong song or the wrong performance? "Idol" knows, however, that it can work with Janelle and get people to vote for her, so she may get the benefit of the doubt beyond this performance.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: Keith knows this song and he says it's "a limiting melody" in the chorus. I'm glad to see that Keith can be substantive if he wants to, because that was actually a very interesting criticism. "A lot of that fell a little bit flat," Nicki says, calling it "disconnected." "Don't ever try to hard, because you don't have to try hard," Nicki says, correctly. "You are my favorite country singer in this competition," Randy says. "I'm rooting for you. I'm really rooting for you," Mariah says.
Singer: ZOANETTE JOHNSON
Song: "Circle of Life"
My Take: Zoanette is representing for Liberia. That's a bit awesome. Zoanette is doing "Circle of Life," complete with the African opening. She's even got her hair blown out almost like a lion's mane. I really have no clue if Zoanette can sing. Does anybody know? He's got a massive bellow of a voice and I'd accept "force of nature" for her before I'd accept "pop singer." She's absolutely bonkers and it's impossible to judge her by the standards you judge anybody else. That performance was alive and elemental in a way nothing else tonight was. I just don't know if it was "good." But "off-the-wall unhinged" has something to recommend it. Three of the four judges stand for Zoanette. Mariah doesn't/can't stand. Every once in a while, "American Idol" needs a performance artist and to that end... Zoanette.
Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey Say: "I love that I have no clue what you're going to do. I sometimes wonder if you do too," Keith says, calling her "The Queen of the Jungle." "Who gonna check you, boo? You just served it," Nicki says. "I don't care what people say about you, you're the person we're gonna remember you after tonight," Nicki notes, probably correctly. "This is the reason she's here," Randy says. "It's almost like your spirit is too big to be contained," Mariah says.
9:39 p.m. I really can't predict how this is going to go. At all. For example, the show probably needs Janelle. She doesn't deserve to advance based on tonight. Which way will the judges go? How will they pick between an assortment of decent-but-not-spectacular divas?
9:41 p.m. The judges weren't unanimous, but they don't need Jimmy Iovine tonight.
9:41 p.m. We're starting with Zoanette. As I just wrote in the comments, "Idol" needs Zoanette. Ideally, they need somebody people will talk about the next day. And they're almost certainly curious as to whether or not America can be made to vote for her. Heck, I want to see how America will treat her. And they'll get that chance. ZOANETTE JOHNSON is advancing.
9:43 p.m. Melinda Ademi's a definite "No" for me. Mariah reassures her that she's young and she has a long road ahead of her. "Please know that you're talented and that you're stellar, beautiful girl," Mariah reassures Melinda after giving her the boot.
9:44 p.m. I'd put Juliana Chahayed through because she sounds like absolutely nobody else we heard tonight. In the interest of musicality and performance diversity, I'd want more of her. The judges, however, disagree with me. Oh well. Farewell, Juliana.
9:46 p.m. See, do we really need both Aubrey Cleland *and* Breanna Steer? I wouldn't think so, personally. Nicki fakes her out a little but AUBREY CLELAND is advancing.
9:47 p.m. And if we need both Aubrey and Breanna, are we really going to need Cristabel Clack? Apparently not. Randy breaks the news that she didn't make it.
9:48 p.m. Candice Glover is a no-brainer. I'm having connection trouble with my Slingbox, but there's no suspense here, even with buffering issues. CANDICE GLOVER is advancing.
9:54 p.m. Three people have advanced. Two spots remain.
9:54 p.m. Jett Hermano is next. On one hand, I think it'd be absurd to put Jett through over Juliana. On the other hand, I think it'd be even more absurd to reject the only two singers who decided to play instruments. Unfortunately, it's the latter. Jett is done.
9:55 p.m. Breanna is next, which means she's advancing and our last choice is an interesting one between Rachel and Janelle. I think there's some redundancy here with Beanna and Aubrey and Nicki is doing another fake-out. BREANNA STEER is, of course, advancing.
9:56 p.m. Rachel and Janelle are buddies. Based on tonight's performance, it's Rachel in a rout. Based on body of work, I understand why the judges might lean in Janelle's direction.
9:58 p.m. Randy tells Janelle she worked it out even if it wasn't her best performance, while they love Rachel's spirit. "This was a tough one for us as well," Randy says. Rachel isn't advancing. So JANELLE ARTHUR is advancing. It may hurt, but Rachel smiles, because she smiles about things.
9:59 p.m. So that's Breanna, Janelle, Candice, Aubrey and Zoanette advancing. A bit of an odd group, eh? I would describe tonight's show as "Not as good as last Wednesday, but far better than last Thursday."

Product Reviews
Works for other birds in South AfricaI have had one for about three years. We put it under an overhanging roof over a verandah about 6 inches below the ceiling. roof, First birds to use it were familiar chats, who raised several broods. Then our local swallows, the lesser striped, built a roof and tunnel linking it to the ceiling, and raised a brood. This made it even more desirable real estate, and it has since been used again by the chats and twice by grey headed sparrows, as well as the swallows who were back at the beginning of our summer. By Ann, on 13 Feb 2015
Overall, goodLooks well made, but my only concern is the poorly-fitted screws fixing the cup to the wood. They stick out, and I wouldn't want this to injure the birds. I can only screw them in a little more or I risk cracking the cup. By Beardy Sage, on 19 Sep 2013
