Judging Goldstone
Posted on April 6th, 2011
The Court of World Opinion is now in session.
Before us stands Richard Goldstone. The defendant is charged with perjury and a verbal assault on the Jewish State.
Judge Goldstone, wasn't your mandate from the UN Human Rights Council biased against Israel from the outset?
Dianabol steroid buy
Well I refused the original mandate because I thought it was biased against Israel and the president of the Human Rights Council asked me to write literally my own mandate, a mandate that I considered fair and even handed and I did that and he said well that's the mandate that I'm giving you. (October 27, 2009, ABC News)
And did the Human Rights Council ever approve this "new" mandate that you wrote?
There was no objection to it. (July 16, 2009, Jpost)
So you claim that you had an impartial mandate from the UNHRC? What was your principle finding?
Dianabol and anadrol
We came to the conclusion, based on the facts we found, that there was strong evidence to suggest that numerous serious violations of international law, both humanitarian law and human rights law, were committed by Israel during the military operations in Gaza. The Mission concluded that action amounting to war crimes and possibly in some respect crimes against humanity were committed by the Israel Defense Force. (September 15, 2009, UN Press Conference.)
So the Israeli Defense Forces committed war crimes by intentionally killing Palestinian civilians?
No, civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy. (April 1, 2011, Washington Post)
Can you read to the court Section 1718, paragraph B of your "Summary of Legal Findings" to the Court?
The Mission found numerous instances of deliberate attacks on civilians in violation of the fundamental international humanitarian law. (Goldstone Report, Page 533, Section J)
It sounds like you have written a legal finding that Israel committed war crimes.
Our mission was in no way a judicial or even quasi-judicial proceeding. We did not investigate criminal conduct on the part of any individual in Israel, Gaza or the West Bank. (April 1, 2011, Washington Post)
So you did not investigate criminal conduct?
In many cases it (the Mission) has found that acts entailing individual criminal responsibility have been committed. In all of these cases the Mission has found that there is sufficient information to establish the objective elements of the crimes in question. (Goldstone Report, Paragraph 25, Executive Summary, Page 9)
Aren't you contradicting yourself?
Well, we know a lot more today about what happened in the Gaza war of 2008-09 than we did when I chaired the fact-finding mission.If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different document. (Washington Post, April 1, 2011)
So if you believe that the report under your name would have been different, are you prepared to issue official changes?
As presently advised I have no reason to believe any part of the report needs to be reconsidered at this time. (April 6, 2011, Associated Press)
Ladies and Gentleman of the Jury, I rest my case.

Dell: Mike Dell Is 'Not the Guy at This Point' Icahn Tells Bloomberg
Following Carl Icahn's announcement this morning he proposed a leveraged recapitalization of Dell (DELL), in partnership with Southeastern Asset Management, in competition with CEO Mike Dell and private equity firm SilverLake's proposed leveraged buyout, Icahn spent some substantial time with Bloomberg's Trish Regan discussing the details of raising the money and why investors should like it.
Icahn said that more than making money, though he likes to do that, his bid is important because there needs to be a "cultural change" at Dell, and that while he respects Michael Dell, he said, "He's not the guy," and the entire board of directors needs to go.
Icahn has proposed six candidates for board seats, and so has Southeastern.
While the proposed Dell/SilverLake LBO has offered $13.65 per Dell share, Icahn's proposal would offer $12 in cash to each Dell holder, and leave each one with a "stub" share of $1.65. Icahn emphasized that the stub would immediately represent tremendous value, as it would contain not only the PC business, but also the enterprise software business, which he extolled at length:
That [stub] stock will earn 89 cents in earnings, if you get just half the savings that BGC is talking about. Now you have a piece of paper worth 89 cents of earnings. Obviously, you've got a great multiple. Now there is a valid criticism that the PC business is going downhill, and there's some truth to that. But PCs aren't going away, and Microsoft (MSFT) and Intel (INTC) depend on the dells and HP [Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)]. We think Dell might get acquired, or we might acquire someone. I think there's a shot down the road that we could in some way, with the PC business, merge with HP or someone. HP just like us are divided [between PC and enterprise businesses]. We also have what we consider a very undervalued business in software. [Former Dell enterprise technology exec] David Johnson worked for Dell doing these acquisitions over many years, after working for International Business Machines (IBM) for 25, 30 years. Then he went to Blackstone [Group (BLK)] and was for acquiring these assets, I think, I surmise. You have not even seen the fruition of those assets.
Regan asked Icahn if he would support the $1.65 stub value, should he win the battle. He replied, "We're looking at ways to guarantee even that, because we think it's so cheap. It's a gift at $1.65."
Asked how Icahn will raise the proposed $5.2 billion in debt, Icahn said there would be no problem, with a large chunk already basically secured:
We're working on it now. Jefferies [& Co.] has pretty much committed to us $1.6 billion [in debt financing]. We haven't even started looking to other banks yet. We're going to have a bridge loan for that $5.2 billion. If I have to, I'll put up $2 billion. That's $3.6 billion already.
Asked what the total value is for the deal, Icahn remarked,
The money that we need is $5.2 billion, with the $7.8 billion from receivables, the cash that they have, with 1.9 billion shares outstanding, it's about $23 billion, or $24 billion. We're saying you can get $13.65 from [Michael] Dell, or you can go with us, and the day we take it over, which would be just about immediately, we'll give you $12, but you're still gonna own Dell. And that stock is worth a great deal more than $1.65.
Asked about a change in management, Icahn was adamant Michael Dell must go, along with the board:
I'm much more interested in getting control than in making an extra buck on the stock. We believe, and I've said this before, I've had a lot of experience, and we got nothing against Michael Dell, but we think he has not done a great job over there. We think it's very important you have a new CEO there. We would want a new CEO, who the board would select. We have certain ones [candidates] in mind, but I don't want to mention them on TV now. it will be invaluable to get massive change of management there. I'm putting up six candidates. Southeast is putting up six candidates. That includes a number of people with a technological background. We don't micromanage, but we need a bit of a cultural change at Dell. Michael Dell, I just think he's not the guy for that at this point. And I"m not saying this alone. I have nothing against Michael Dell, I have respect for him. I respect how he's got the board to give him this bargain! [laughs] I've never met him. I certainly think he's a smart guy. I don't think he'd be the one to run the company. I'm sure of that. The board would be completely out. I have nothing against the board. I just think it's a quintessential example of board that did a really poor thing to shareholders by allowing Dell to buy this at this price. The board could very easily have given shareholders this alternative. I mean, Dell's buying it with the shareholder money. It's like something out of Saturday Night Live.
Regan pressed Icahn on who some of the possible replacements would be for Dell as CEO. She mentioned former Compaq CEO Michael Capellas, former Oracle (ORCL) COO Chuck Phillips, and former HP CEO Mark Hurd. Icahn replied, "You're mentioning names that definitely would be considered," but he quickly emphasized that he had not brought up those names, and that the new board would conduct a formal search for a CEO should he and Southeastern win the battle.
For its part, Dell a short while ago issued a statement saying it is carefully reviewing Icahn's proposal.
Dell shares today are up 14 cents, or 1%, at $13.46.

According to the Kentucky Proud availability brochure the following fruits and vegetables are in season during July and August. I urge you to keep these lists available until the end of August. These products can be found at Kentucky farmer markets, roadside stands and you-pick-it operations in Kentucky.
July only: blueberries, brussel sprouts, carrots, okra and raspberries.
July and August: apples, beans, beets, blackberries, cantaloupe, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, grapes, onions, peaches, pears, plums, summer squash and tomatoes.
August only: lettuce, paw paws, watermelon and winter squash.
With an ever-changing climate and precipitation levels, these lists are not always 100 percent accurate. Remember, these are Kentucky Proud products. Notice there is no kiwi or citrus fruit listed as those products are not native to Kentucky. Though, with transportation from Florida and California and other warmer places, most every fruit and vegetable known to humans is available as long as price doesn't prohibit its purchase.
To help you make the most of our Kentucky Proud fruits and vegetables, I have some recipes for fruit today and in weeks to come I will have recipes for Kentucky Proud vegetables. This should help you to incorporate some of those products in your meals while they are in season.

Mango People
Established in January, 2014 by two young fellows who initially had no idea why and what were they doing. The story began with the love of an animated disney movie which inspired the founders to sell our first ever product which was Sky Lanterns and it turned out to be a great success.

One of New Zealand's best-known V8 racers, Greg Murphy, turned back the clock at Pukekohe last weekend by dealing to the rest of the field as they took to the existing track for the last time.
Winning two of the three races, Murphy and co-driver Jack Perkins were chased, harangued and pushed by the same pairing in every race.
Scott McLaughlin and his co-pilot Jonathan Webb snatched the first race win on Saturday from Murphy and co, but couldn't repeat it on Sunday.
Murphy settled into his Pukekohe rhythm from days of old; from 2001 to 2007 he won four of the seven rounds, collected nine race wins and the lap record.
But he fought back at ageist comments to be on top of the podium for the first time since 2005.
"I feel like I belong here today and the talk of the age crap gives me the ****s," said Murphy.
"We've all got the same equipment out there and that's a big incentive. Australia is a drag at the moment and there's not a lot of enjoyment there at present.
"To be able to come here and tune the car and work on improvements is great. There's no question about it. I love coming here and love Puke and I haven't done a competitive lap here since 2007 and it hasn't changed for me.
"All the bumps are in the same place and the character of the place is still the same. You get rewards here if you push a bit harder."
McLaughlin, however, took the overall lead in the V8 SuperTourer 2012 championship after three races over the weekend and with one round to go looks to be a solid bet.
"I really enjoyed the opening laps going side by side through the first few corners," said McLaughlin. "I'm pretty happy with the weekend's result and we managed to look after the gear.
"My only mistake was overshooting the pit box, which cost a lot of time. Overall it was good fun."
The final round of the series is at Ruapuna, November 24-25.
Shane's driftingV8 Supercar driver Shane van Gisbergen proved yet again he is no slouch when it comes to race engines and cars.
His latest adventure was to debut at the opening round of New Zealand's Cody's D1NZ National Drifting championship at Feilding's Manfeild circuit on Friday and Saturday.
He was sharing a V8 powered Ford Falcon drift car with Shane Allen and managed to make the last 32 in his first attempt at the sport.
He came up against former New Zealand D1NZ champion Dan Woolhouse but gave him a run for his money.
"Dan was good. I did quite a few runs with him in practice and learned quite a bit. I've still got heaps of stuff to learn but it was good being able to battle with the top guys because I could learn the lines and the approaches. When I was doing it by myself I was getting them all wrong so going out with them was a big help," said van Gisbergen.
He returns to Australia this week before heading off to Abu Dhabi for the next round of the V8 Supercar championship.

Please tell me what the redskins did to adjust in the second half
We know the redskins offense basically played us in 2 formations the whole game and killed us with the option read. Maybe you could tell me what the redskins did differently on defense.
due tot he opposite team reading it 100%. With that said, some of those called penalties were bogus.
So much so, they refused to even show them on replay. Next your going to tell me you can;t call a penalty
on every return. Plenty of uncalled blocks in the back from the skins, none called. Either call them or don't,
same story for alot of our games over the past several years. It would be different if we only got 1 penalty on
special teams and the got none.
You can call predictable plays that put players in a postion where they almost have to commit penaltiesdue tot he opposite team reading it 100%
next thing you know, predictable plays is what put locklear in position to in injured. I too think KG needs to do a better job with the play calling, but this right here is just laughable. If someone trips in the parking lot its KG"s fault
Where the Giants D failed was in allowing Griffin to convert First Downs time after time dude...... what they held him to only distorts the picture, giving the Defensive play a false look of success!
Holding teams on third down has been the Defense's bugaboo all season.
Eli was 20/33 for 280 with a TD and zero INT's.....where are all these errant passes people are talking about?
Cruz had a 100 yds receiving.....Bradshaw 100 yds rushing....the numbers of the game, and our eyes tell the story of what was to blame for this loss.........Gilbrides playcalling, penalties, and the D allowing the Redskins to convert first downs.
Look at the game again and count how many times Gilbride called for the delayed draw up the middle for no gain when Eli was having a good throwing day. Don't tell me it wasn't the playcalling that takes a lions share of the blame here, because it most definitely does!

Any ideas? This tree/shrub was covered in bees yesterday. A ton of little black bees towards the bottom, but honey bees on the top.
My daughter is about 5 foot tall to help with the scale.
I have a small one in my yard. The plant has been there for at least 10 years, but as it grows the leaves get some kind of fungus/infection and I cut it back. Comes back better then ever with pretty copper colored leaves that turn to green, but then the fungus comes back. I would like to find out what it is, as it may need more sun than what it is getting right now.

Being Ninjanessless, which in essence means not having very much Ninjaness which is natural Ninja ability. Many Self-proclaimed Ninjas usually have a lot of Ninjanesslessness, even though they think they have a lot of Ninjaness. This is easily remedied by attempting a backflip.
That guy is so full of Ninjanesslessness, he couldn't be less ninja if he tried to catch an arrow and sprained his wrist!

Canada Still Unsure on F-35 Purchase, Italian PM Candidate Plans to Trim Orders

The loss of the major partner in the F-35 program could be a death blow
The beleaguered F-35 Lightning II program keeps taking blows. Two partner countries, Canada and Italy, are now indicating the possibility of cutting orders for the F-35. Each time a partner nation slashes its orders, the price goes up for each jet purchased by other partner countries.
In April of 2012, the Canadian defense minister landed in
hot water
over allegations of not sharing information on expected costs the F-35 program. Canadian defense minister Peter MacKay admitted in April that he knew the fighter program could cost Canada as much as $25 billion. That price is billions of dollars more than Canadian officials publicly acknowledged.
At the time, Canadian lawmakers
put a cap on spending for the F-35 program
and this week more rumors have surfaced suggesting that Canada could drop the F-35 program entirely. While Canadian officials have dismissed any reports that it is planning to cancel the purchase of 65 F-35 fighters, some have gone on record saying that they were reconsidering the program and might compete the contract to replace Canada's aging CF-18 fighters.
Boeing, on the other hand, continues to lobby Canada to cancel orders for the F-35 and purchased the F/A-18 Super Hornet.
At the same time word that a leading Prime Minister candidate in Italy might trim F-35 purchases if elected to office. Italian Prime Minister candidate Pier Luigi Bersani is the man many expect to win the PM election in Italy. He said on time TV, "I would consider a relaxing, a reduction of the commitment to the F-35 and military spending."
Pentagon leaders continue to support existing U.S. orders for the F-35. U.S. leaders do say that they can afford to make cuts far in the future to keep near and mid-term production volume up. However, other countries don't have that luxury.
"The key point is that this doesn't just impact DoD, but it impacts all the partners," said Mark Gunzinger, of the CSBA, on potential cuts to international orders.
Britain is the largest international customer planning to purchase 138 F-35 fighters. However, British officials have previously suggested that they could reduce that number.

Best Collection FontFonts for Sports
In July, we launched our Collection Tier FontFont Blog series. Each month, we will be sharing our top picks from our Collection Tier suitable for particular intended use with a few handy hints to boot! Inspired by London 2012, next up in our series are our 'Olym-picks' – a round-up of our favorite Collection Tier FontFonts suitable for Sports.

Rememberability: Quite a few kids in school would rather doodle the logos of their favorite bands and sports teams than pay attention to their teachers. As a designer, you need to give these kids a hand! Design team identities that are unique enough to stand out from the competition, but easy enough for 11-year-olds to draw.
Sports logos are something that fans of all ages identity with. Here is an opportunity to design a feeling – go ahead and try letterforms that are ornate or complicated. When it comes to sports, relying on tradition can be helpful, too. Fans will remember the style of lettering on their team's championship-winning uniforms decades later. Script typefaces are a natural choice for team logos – especially in baseball – but can appear too nostalgic for some other sports. Big, chunky angular type is a perennial favorite. Whatever you select, make sure that it has individual and memorable shapes.
Clarity: When it comes to player identification, clarity is important; referees, announcers and fans all need to be able to see the names and numbers on player uniforms clearly. These can take a different style from a team's logo. Since the playing field isn't an immersive reading environment, using all-caps text is OK. Remember, though, that uppercase letters are less differentiable than lowercase – no one wants to mix up names like KAHN and HAHN. Selecting type families that include multiple widths may be helpful, too, as the same team might have players with both long and short last names: BECKENBAUER and PELÉ, for instance.
A low-contrast sans serif, slab serif or semi-serif family is almost always going to be the right way to go. Multiple width-options are more important than having multiple weights, but two or three levels of stroke thickness to choose from is never going to be a bad thing.
Dynamism: The right typefaces for sports usages should look 'fast'. Even though it is a bit cliché, picking styles that are slanted or italicized is a still good shorthand for speed. Some sporting events have other iconic elements that typefaces can play off of: simple, light geometric forms combine well with the Olympic rings, and typefaces with round letters allow for gimmicks, like substituting various balls for letters like the O.
As is mentioned above, typefaces with clear, hard-working forms lend themselves well to many different kinds of sports. Picking fonts that are part of larger families gives you access not just to multiple widths or weight, but may offer you dynamic italic or oblique styles, too. Make sure to look at all of the fonts in a family when comparing different typefaces.
Have a browse of all our Collection Tier typefaces suitable for sport. Which ones are your 'Olym-picks'?
About our Collection Tier
Our Collection Tier FontFonts are a selection of cost effective typographical treasures offered as full-families. All packages are available in OpenType with Standard language support (with a few key exceptions) and are all affordably priced under €/$ 100 each.permalink
New release: FF54
BERLIN, GERMANY, December 2010 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Basic Gothic — Due to its popularity online, Verdana has effectively become the basic sans serif. Yet in print it tends to looks too heavy and a little unwieldy. As a response to this FontFont releases FF Basic Gothic. Influenced by the early sans serif typefaces of the 19th century and developed for today's highest standards, it is a sans serif optimized for maximum legibility. With its functional, basic look, it is willful but pleasant at the same time. Inspired by the unique letter forms of Gill Sans and Antique Olive, designers Hannes von Döhren and Livius Dietzel searched for exceptional yet legible proportions. At the same time, the letters are stripped down to their basic forms, with precise curves and straight lines, making FF Basic Gothic extremely versatile for a multitude of applications.
Their extended weight range makes it interesting for corporate designers; TYPO Berlin 2011 already trusts on FF Basic Gothic (as well as on FF Scala). The type family performs especially well in small sizes, both in print and on the screen – thanks to the hinting experts of the FontFont Type Department.read more

Mark Weiss Day raises $6,000 for scholarships at Wayne Law
The 11th annual Mark Weiss Day at Comerica Park on Friday, Aug. 1, raised more than $6,000 for scholarships at Wayne State University Law School.
About 115 people attended a pre-game picnic and saw the Detroit Tigers beat the Colorado Rockies at the event to benefit the Mark Weiss Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The fund provides scholarships for students and recent graduates who share the same dream as Weiss – a commitment to provide legal aid to the underserved in the community.
More than 250 lawyers, judges, friends and family members have contributed to the memorial fund, which has surpassed its original goal of $250,000.
The scholarship was established as a joint project of Wayne Law and the Michigan Association for Justice, formerly known as the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. Weiss, who graduated from the Law School in 1969, devoted his skills to fighting for the rights of the poor and powerless and protecting the civil rights of all litigants. He died in 2003.
To date, 36 scholarships have been awarded to Wayne Law students in memory of Weiss.
Family members of the late Mark Weiss and some of the children attending the event pose for a group photo Friday, Aug. 1, at the 11th annual Mark Weiss Day at Comerica Park. The event benefits scholarships at Wayne State University Law School.
Eliza Qualls Perez Facio, a 2014 Wayne Law graduate and three-time recipient of the Mark Weiss Memorial Endowed Scholarship, attended Mark Weiss Day with her son, Diego.
Jon Posner, a friend of the late Mark Weiss, shares a moment with Weiss' grandsons. Looking on is Weiss' daughter, Polly Weiss.

Breast Cancer Treatment
Methodist University Hospital is the first cancer facility in Memphis to offer the SAVI™ applicator, an advanced therapy for breast cancer as part of breast-conservation therapy. The SAVI™ applicator can provide important advantages for women with early-stage breast cancer.
Breast-conservation therapy includes a lumpectomy—the surgical removal of the cancerous tissue within the breast plus tissue immediately around the tumor—followed by radiation. This is an alternative to mastectomy, which removes the entire breast and is often followed by breast reconstruction.
The new SAVI™ applicator delivers a form of radiation therapy known as breast brachytherapy. This approach, which targets the tumor site from inside the breast, is becoming a more widely used alternative to traditional radiation. A surgeon inserts the device into the lumpectomy cavity through a small incision. The radiation oncologist then gently expands the bundle of catheters so the radiation dose will conform precisely to the size and shape of the area to be treated.
Breast brachytherapy typically involves two treatments per day for only five days. Traditional, external-beam radiation is delivered five times a week for six or seven weeks.
In addition to shortening the therapy time, time away from work and travel expenses, breast brachytherapy with SAVI™ minimizes radiation exposure of healthy tissue, which reduces damage to critical structures such as the skin, heart, lungs and ribs.
The SAVI™ procedure offered at Methodist University Hospital is designed to make the benefits of breast-conservation therapy and brachytherapy available to more women. Ask your doctor if SAVI™ is right for you.

Nationwide, 'Action Squads' Form for Opening Weekend of Courageous
June 22nd, 2011
Photo from Photos.com
NASHVILLE, June 21, 2011 — Tickets are on sale now for the Sept. 30, 2011, opening weekend of Courageous, the anticipated new feature film from Sherwood Pictures, makers of Fireproof. CourageoustheMovie.com links to Fandango, MovieFone, MovieTickets; all major ticket sites offer Courageous tickets.
Nationally, individuals, parishes and groups are forming Action Squads — individuals and groups purchasing blocks of theater tickets, buying out Courageous showings, or committing to 1,000 tickets to secure the film in formerly unscheduled communities. (For the 2008 launch of Fireproof, Action Squads opened the film in 100 new markets.)
"Courageous is one of those rare movies audiences both want to see and need to see," Kris Fuhr, vice president for Provident Films, said. "It's powerful, entertaining, emotional . . . preview audiences are cheering and challenged to be the parents who can reclaim this generation and generations to come."
Courageous Action Squads open new theaters, buy out show times, or secure blocks of seats:
- Town Action Squads open the movie in new communities with an advance commitment to purchase 1,000 tickets.
- Show-Time Action Squads purchase all seats (200-250) for a local theater's scheduled show time. Individuals may purchase 25 or more of those opening weekend tickets to give friends, neighbors, or small groups.
Learn about starting an Action Squad and see clips from the film at www.CourageoustheMovie.com. Additionally, families, churches, and community groups can find an array of resources to extend the film's impact at www.CourageousResources.com.
Courageous Synopsis:
Four men, one calling: to serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets have to offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them is truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.
When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That takes courage.
A Sherwood Pictures production, Courageous is distributed by TriStar Pictures with marketing by Provident Films and AFFIRM Films.

vSphere-Land recently did its annual poll to determine the best VMware blogs for 2011.
In total, the results feature 180 blogs. There were about 80 new blogs on the ballot this year, which is testament to the rich blog community surrounding virtualization. About 1,200 people voted in the poll. Last year about 800 people voted.
Duncan Epping, who writes the Yellow Bricks blog received the top ranking. Scott Lowe came in second. NTPro.nl by Eric Sloof came in third. Chad Sakac's Virual Geek was fourth and Frank Deneman's blog came in fifth. (See below for an image of the top 25, courtesy of vSphere-Land.)
These blogs are technical in nature, providing a valuable resource to the legions of technicians who manage VMware technology. It also shows the passion that people have for virtualization and the endless variety of topics and issues that people cover.
In total, vSphere-Land lists ten categories that cover the entire VMware space. They include favorite storage blogs. EMC's Sakat came in first in that category. Hypervizor by Henry Michael came in first in the cloud computing category. Brian Madden had the favorite end user computing blog.
The vChat crew did a great show talking about the top 25. It's worth watching. They give a good picture of the overall community.
I especially like the words of encouragement on the vSphere-Land blog to all the people out there who do the hard work in keeping a blog fresh. It's hard to do.
With so many bloggers out there its a tough scene but I seriously encourage you all to keep at it, the longer you stick with it, the more people notice and will reward you with their vote. You guys are all great, I know how hard it can be to find the time to blog but do know that your efforts are appreciated and your unselfish dedication makes a difference to a great many of people.
Services Angle
This is a huge service for the community. These bloggers represent the world's knowledge base about virtualization. There are several blogs that focus on the services aspect of virtualizartion technology. But overall, it should be commended for showing the rich community that has made VMware what it is today.

A great product and a lot of cash are not enough for success. Along with having strong finance and marketing plans, a business idea needs to be "operationalized." Look at some of the most admired companies: Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Ritz-Carlton, Toyota, FedEx. These operational giants stand out because of how they create value.
We approach operations by examining the impact of management decisions on the day-to-day running of a company, as well as the reverse: how the daily workings affect management decisions. Through this two-way lens, you will learn to successfully manage an organization's resources - its human capital, plants and facilities, processes, machinery and technology, raw materials, and other "inputs" - in order to maximize the four value creators: time, price, quality, and variety. In learning to combine concepts, models, and data to develop better systems, you will be equipped to make better operations decisions.
You'll have the chance to explore activities outside the classroom in numerous ways that will also allow you to build new skills, relationships, and networks. These include:
You'll have the option of taking courses that address your individual career choices. Samples include:
You'll study with professors who conduct groundbreaking research, consult with businesses, and share their experiences examining how managerial decisions affect the day-to-day running of a company.

The Dictator, Admiral General Aladeen, graces the pages of Playboy.com with his presence and uncanny knack for providing ridiculous and generally offensive advice to our readers. This week, and this week only.
Every few decades, a man of such uncommon charm, sexual magnetism and unparalleled instances of documented human cruelty emerges and is immediately catapulted into full-blown pop cultural relevance. This time, it is the one and certainly only Admiral General Aladeen, gentleman dictator of the Republic of Wadiya himself. Fresh off the promotional trail for his worldwide box office hit The Dictator, follow Aladeen as he goes up against some of the strangest advice queries we've ever received and comes back with answers that are somehow even stranger.
And just because Aladeen's at the top of his game doesn't mean he's stopped counting — he says the proof is in the pillage, and we can't disagree or he'll kill us. Join the (admittedly open) ranks by adding yourself to Aladeen's Wall of Sexual Conquests now.
Question: Three's a threesome. Four's a foursome. Heck, five's a fivesome. How many does it take to have a real orgy, and how engaged must everyone be in the dirty deeds? You dictators must have some pretty crazy parties; what's your best group sex story?
Answer: As to what number of people actually constitutes an orgy, that's a difficult one — my rule of thumb is that you should be able to see photos of it afterwards on Google Earth. I think that the biggest-ever orgy I took part in is a weekend in 2009 when I had sex with Estonia. It was exhausting, really tough going — especially the men. Group sex is a way of life for me; at first glance, my palace bedroom, on a daily basis, pretty much resembles a mass grave — in fact, Wadiya's third-biggest import is Viagra (after uranium and kidnapped supermodels). I do have ethics, though, and try to avoid sex before marriage — and it's not just enough for the girls to say that they've got husbands, I like to find them and make them watch.

Hey TDH. Been saving up for armor parts now (I'm still working on saving up for the rest of Redkraytdragon's armor :)) and I was looking around to see if there were any cheap parts that aren't usually included in kits such as knee darts and those darts that are on the right gauntlet. I noticed that fenixprops on ebay sells them for relatively decent prices but I'm not sure.
I know that the knee darts are inaccurate (they aren't designed to go inside the knee pad but just on top held by a screw and washer and the gauntlet darts aren't as long as they are suppose to be but wouldn't be a big deal one in the gaunts) but for 12 bucks and 12 for shipping would it be worth it? Most people I've seen on TDH who sell those type of accessories are outside the US thus way more expensive... :facepalm (sorry international guys!)
If anyone knows about fenixprops stuff or if anyone knows people who make and sell those two parts within the US (or fairly reasonable international prices for a US buyer:p) let me know! Bottom line though, accuracy is my main concern. I've been dreaming of a great Fett all my life so I wanna do it right but if fenixprops' stuff are really good deals maybe it's worth it?
Thank you for your time guys!

Got to share this talk by Mike Masnick, who analyzes in depth the methods used by Trent Reznor to "connect with fans" and give them "reason to buy" and create a very well functioning business model :
Among other creative initiatives to connect with fans, earlier this year Reznor released 400 GB worth of HD video footage recorded at his concert tour, which supposedly could be put to use by "some enterprising fans".
What I really like about Trent Reznor's style is that he hasn't "worked it out". He hasn't discovered some magic formula for how to make money selling his music using the internet, and then simply lean back, enjoy the money and not care about developing his business model anymore. There's no autopilot. He seems to genuinely want to connect and seems to enjoy the work involved in connecting, sharing music and creating new intriguing ideas for how to get his music out – and make a decent income in the process. That's also why it works so well. He really do connect with fans, he really do give them value for their money. And he enjoys it too.
What Trent Reznor does so remarkably well may also serve as an example for all those engaged in promoting or selling a product online, to quit the thinking that they simply need to "work out" a method, which will instantly make them "connect" with thousands of people and let them become rich and successful overnight. That well will run dry for them sooner or later.
Make real connections. Engage others. Give them something of real value. And have fun!

I can't think of another plausible explanation.
Question though. Doesn't the Angel normally have to pick a name before he/she knows who was targeted?
So on night one, wouldn't the Angel generally pick themselves? What are the odds that the REDs targeted the Angel the first night? Not very good with this many players right? (one in 26? Or maybe 23 if there are three Reds?)
Just throwing it out there.

My new neighbours, talk, shout and slam screen and car doors at all hours of the day and night, which upsets my dogs.
Previously we had a widower and he was a perfect neighbour, helpful and always up for a natter over the fence.

Re: annoying neighbours ??? what do yours do ?
Hi Marc
I have new neighbours, the mother shouts/screams at her boys like a banshee, this is usually at inappropriate times the other week it was 5am on a sunday, not only does she do that but then screeches off in her car taking the stones off the drive with her.
A nice woman to talk to but once those teens have upset her crikey, batton down the hatches
I nearly went out there last week to shut her up but OH told me to keep out of it she was at it again last night about 10pm
Not fair when people have to get up early for work, am thinking of telling the people she rents the house off what do you think

Re: annoying neighbours ??? what do yours do ?
The lady, no woman, downstairs likes her music LOUD and preferably of the boom boom boom variety that goes through the whole flat! However instead of constant noise, one minute its quiet, the next its very loud then off again! I don't get it as she has a young son of around six and the music and screeching is all time of day and night! Our flats were built in the 70's and the walls are not thick! Last Christmas on Boxing day she had the music booming again and I was standing at one point with the carving knife telling the other half if he didnt go and sort it out then I would - I'm not a particuarly violent person but she had driven me to it!
She also laughs like a hyena hyperventilating and I get worried looks of guests when they hear her!! We can't overly retaliate with music as there are people above who don't really bother us, so I just 'accidentally' drop heavy things However me and a girlfriend are huge TT fans and if she has been annoying us more than normal we get drunk and watch the tour DVD and sing along, rather loudly and late!! Tends to quieten her down for a while!
Our parking is really limited as well but every weekend she has two or three people with cars who steal the spaces, even though there are signs saying no parking for visitors, drives me blinking mad
Everyone else in our small building are fine and friendly, its just her!!

Re: annoying neighbours ??? what do yours do ?
in the spring/summer, one of my neighbours always manages to start mowing the lawn when i'm just about to sit outside in the garden for an afternoon cuppa and a read...if that's not bad enough, the rest of the neighbours hear her mowing and probably think "oh yeah, just the right weather for mowing the lawn" then they all bl**dy start mowing !!

Re: annoying neighbours ??? what do yours do ?
We have acres that separate our neighbors but we do have one that has a very agressive dog that has charged at me and ran after my son who was on his bike.. we never usually got a "sorry" which we thought was wierd and it has happened on several occasions, not just once or twice.
The other day I was coming back from the bus stop where my son gets dropped off after school. The daughter of the people who own the dog usually walks with us... we get to the girls place first and their gates were open and my son rides a bit ahead of me and Iam walking just at the gates but on the far side of the road with my sons backpack on the left shoulder. All of a sudden I hear the dog barking and a yell from the mom whom I cannot even see and then I look and see this dog running, very fast, towards me he jumps up, grabs my sons backpack and starts at that, then the son comes at this point and grabs the dog away from me and the backpack, lol, with 2 big teeth marks in them! It shook me up a bit after the fact only because all I was thinking is that if I didn't have that backpack, those 2 teeth marks would have been on my butt!!!
I love dogs but this has been going on for more that a year and you never know if the dog is going to get out or not??? The husband was pretty good about it but you never hear anything from the wife, all she does is hide in the back and never comes out of the property?????? I really felt like calling the spca as this has happened many times, but we are all neighbors, but on the other hand, will it take a bite or worse before the owners "get it?"

Re: annoying neighbours ??? what do yours do ?
...........the question you have to ask yourself here is, which is worse, telling the authorities that you have been attacked by a vicious dog & risk upsetting the neighbours? or suffer the auguish when a child gets savaged because you knew you could have prevented it? Its a dilemma I know, but at what point does it become OUR business to do the right thing?
When I see in the news that a small child has had its face bitten off, I sometimes wonder how it is that no-one knew the dog was violent.

Reviews of this property
Great location with good transport links! We were greeted warmly at once. Very nice landlord!
Super Lage mit guter Verkehrsanbindung! Wir wurden sofort herzlich empfangen. Sehr nette Vermieter!
Ingrid and Joachim are two very friendly hosts, always ready to give good advice to help us (Joachim, the first day is going to buy us bus tickets). Their home is located in a charming area of Munich, close to shops, buses and it is large enough and equipped for 4 people for a few days of sightseeing in this beautiful Bavaria. If we have to go back one day to visit the Oktoberfest or just a little Munich is at Ingrid Joachim and we will return. Thank you.
Ingrid et Joachim sont deux hôtes très sympathiques, toujours prêts à nous donner de bons conseils, à nous aider (Joachim, dès le premier jour est aller nous acheter les tickets de bus). Leur logement se situe dans un charmant quartier de Munich, proche des commerces, des bus; il est suffisamment grand et équipé pour 4 personnes pour quelques jours de tourisme dans cette magnifique Bavière. Si nous devons retourner un jour pour l'Oktoberfest ou simplement visiter un peu plus Munich c'est chez Ingrid et Joachim que nous retournerons. Merci.
Nice stay in Munich, Joe was a very helpful and friendly host. Accommodation was well equipped, though would suit 2 people (or two adults & two children) better than four. All very clean, and handy to bus service.
thanks Joe
Lovely apartment , clean and perfect for our needs. Good location for Munich centre and the beer fest. Ingrid & Joachim very nice hosts and provided us with good travel advice. If in Munich again I will certainly re book here ! Tracey & family
Thanks to Ingrid and Joachim! For the hospitality, flexibility and a very nice, quiet place to stay to relax and sleep well (quiet me personally is always important). Is everything there that you need to reach City well, all cozy and clean. All the best! Until next time!
Vielen Dank an Ingrid und Joachim !! Für die Gastfreundlichkeit, die Flexibilität und eine sehr schöne, ruhige Unterkunft zum Wohlfühlen und gut schlafen (ruhig ist mir persönlich ja immer wichtig). Ist alles da was man braucht, City gut zu erreichen, alles gemütlich und sauber. Alles Bestens !! Bis zum nächsten Mal !
Spaciouus apartment, placed in quiet place, with very easy way to the city center by bus as well as by car. What is more there are no problems with parking space.
We do recomend this apartment.
We enjoyd the visit in Munich, the house was cosy and clean.
Ingrid and Joachim were very kind and helpful.
Jasper, Marjolein and kids.
Both hosts were very friendly and helpful (good tips for restaurants in the vicinity). The apartment is what you need very well equipped with everything (including wireless) and access to public transportation is great.
Beide Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit (gute Tips für Restaurants in der Nähe). Die Wohnung ist mit allem was man braucht sehr gut ausgestattet (auch WLAN) und die Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel ist super.
Ingrid and Joachim were in contact with us as soon as we booked our reservation of 10 days (2 adults and 2 children). They gave us information about the location and different options for getting to their house from the airport. Once we arrived to their property, we were greeted by Ingrid and Joachim. Joachim gave us a tour of the rental. The pictures from the website represent the rental very well. There were plenty of street parking available. We never had any issue parking our car. We also used the public transportation to get to the city center. It was easy and close by. The rental is located in a quiet area, across from some rental gardens and a beer garden.
Ingrid and Joachim were hospitable and kind. They even helped us with our laundry (with our kids, staying there for 10 days, required a wash). I would definitely recommend his rental.
We were very good, the house is pretty clean and functional! Although a bit far from the city center transport are fast and on time! Ingrid & Joachim were very kind and hospitable.
Siamo state molto bene, la casa è bella pulita e funzionale! Anche se un pò lontana dal centro i mezzi di trasporto sono veloci e puntuali! Ingrid & Joachim sono stati molto gentili ed ospitali.

The ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service has designated the week of October 20-26 as National Celebrate Pro Bono Week. This week has been set aside to honor those attorneys who feel it is their responsibility to guarantee that equal justice for all, as provided in our Constitution, still has meaning. The need for pro bono services is becoming ever more important during these harsh economic times. The Illinois Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission is calling for more pro bono efforts to meet this growing need, and there has been an unprecedented response by attorneys to meet this demand across the county. We are very proud of the attorneys in the Ninth and Tenth Judicial Circuit that have given so generously to this effort, and we thank you for your generous contributions. During this week we will be putting effort into educating and informing the community about the important work that pro bono attorneys do every day to help those less fortunate.

Peoria County Veterans Memorial
The Peoria County Board has established a committee for the purpose of planning and raising funds for the construction of a final Veterans Memorial on the Courthouse Plaza. The Committee's intent is to construct a fitting memorial in honor of Peoria County's Veterans of Korea to the present, as well as any possible future conflicts. This memorial will honor Peoria County Veterans who have served in the U. S. Military during the Korean War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Persian Gulf, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and the War on Terrorism. In addition, this memorial will honor the 106 Peoria County Veterans who lost their lives in Korea and Vietnam by listing their names on the memorial panels. This project cannot be completed without the support of Peoria area businesses, local governments and citizens. The goal is to raise $500,000 which will enable completion next year. All contributions will be for restrictive purposes of the costs related to planning, designing, constructing, dedicating and maintaining a final Veterans Memorial on the Peoria County Courthouse Grounds. The support of the Peoria Area Business Community during Peoria County's efforts in establishing the Memorials of World War I & II veterans was greatly appreciated and we trust that PCBA members will assist in completing the tasks to honor all Peoria County Veterans.
