Summer 2008
Spring 2008
Winter 2007/8
There is plenty to choose from as one would expect from the Autumn season; sequels as well as new series. The following list is by no means complete and susceptible to change, but I've tried to include as much as possible.
Anyway, onto the preview!
1. Queen's Blade: Gyokuza wo Tsugumono

PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngg26SVzszQ
Yay Just what the world needs – more psuedo-hentai awfulness. No power on earth could compel me to watch this! I remember struggling through the 1st episode of season 1 (those acid squirting exploding boobs are something I shall never forget ), so its safe to say that I shall be avoiding this 2nd season. I assume it will be more of the same and lacking in plot as ever!(Original post by Summary)
Second season, the subtitle apparently translates to "Heir to the Throne".
First season summary - In 4 years time the competition that will decide who the next Queen shall be will start. The strongest warrior will continue to rule the country according to tradition and expand it. The contestants need only be older than 12 years. They need not be human, intelligent or even of that country. The rules for the tournament are simple: murder is allowed. Any weapon can be chosen. The winner is decided when one of the participants flees or can't move anymore. Such event is broadcasted trough a crystal sphere by the court's magic teacher to all population to see and enjoy.
2. Kämpfer

Japanese Air Date: 1st October 2009
Animation Company: Nomad (Rozen Maiden, sola)
Seiyuu: Marina Inoue, Nana Mizuki, Yui Horie, Yukari Tamura, Megumi Nakajima
Number of Episodes: 12
Ooh Gender-bending! Always good for a laugh! Excellent cast on board for this, and I quite like the promo art (although I am wondering where Nomad are going to squeeze in their obligiatory nod to Rozen Maiden ). Shall be checking this out in the hope that it has Traptastic comedy, mahou-shoujo style transformation sequences and good action scenes. It shall all depend on the quality of the script and fight choreography.(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Toshihiko Tsukiji's (Maburaho, Umi Monogatari) light novel series, which has also been adapted into a currently-running manga.
Senou Natsuru is your normal, everyday high school student. However he's been chosen to be a Kampfer, whose objective consists on fighting other Kampfer with either guns, swords or magic. But there´s a catch: first you can't chose if you´re a Kampfer or not, and second, you must have the body of a girl to use your powers.
3. Nyan Koi!
Website: http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/nyankoi/
Japanese Air Date: 1st October 2009
Animation Company: AIC (Pumpkin Scissors, Tenchi Muyo)
Seiyuu: Shintaro Asanuma, Yuka Iguchi
Number of Episodes: 12
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbzzWrmhS5Q
Cats……lots of cats I don't like cats, I'm much more of a dog person really. Looking at the promo art, I'm distracted by the girl with the gigantic boobs as she looks really out of place compared to the others! The PV is beyond generic – I feel like I've seen this style of show a million times before; its just so painfully unoriginal I'll check out the 1st episode to confirm or defy my expectations, but think this will be a miss.(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Sato Fujiwara's manga.
Junpei Kōsaka is a second-year high school student who despises cats and has an allergy to them. It just so happens that his high school crush is Kaede Mizuno, a girl who adores cats. One day, while walking home from school, Junpei kicks an empty can and unfortunately beans the local neko-jizō-sama (guardian deity of cats). He finds he can now understand what cats are saying, including his family's own ill-tempered cat, Nyamusasu. However, if he does not grant 100 wishes from cats, he will turn into cat himself.
4. Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra
Website: http://www.bantorra.com/
Japanese Air Date: 2nd October 2009
Animation Company: David Production (Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Ristorante Paradiso)
Seiyuu: Romi Paku, Akira Ishida
Number of Episodes: 13
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3K5l_H6dmI
I spotted in the details for this series that the OP will be by ALI PROJECT I am trying to get over that, but think that's a bad sign The cast list looks promising, but the concept doesn't really feel all that original. Armed librarians have been done before (Toshokan Sensou, R.O.D.) and the idea of having dead people in books seems startlingly similar to the Death Records of the Shinigami in Kuroshi~tsuji! The PV was pretty decent looking though, I liked the BGM music at least and the character and set designs look pretty good. Shall give it a look, but I'm not really excited by this(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of the Tatakau Shisho (Fighting Librarians) light novel series written by Ishio Yamagata.
All the dead people of the world have been turned into "books" stored in the Bantorra library. A boy named Koria Tonisu has had his memories erased and his chest embedded with a bomb. He is sent to kill Hamyuttsu Meseta, the world's most powerful armed librarian. However, he falls in love at first sight with this beautiful woman in charge of the "books," and he gets enveloped in the great war over the library.
5. The Sacred Blacksmith
Website: http://www.blasmi.com/
Japanese Air Date: 3rd October 2009
Animation Company: Manglobe (Mitchiko to Hatchin, Samurai Champloo)
Seiyuu: Ayumi Fujimura, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Aki Toyosaki, Megumi Toyoguchi
Number of Episodes: 12
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPZ1aj08x2c
High fantasy stuff is usually hit or miss, but Manglobe are a very capable studio and the cast seems decent……hopefully the Luke in this series is a better protagonist than Luke in Tales of the Abyss! The PV was pretty good – like the animation and designs, but still feels quite 'meh' – not feeling a whole lot of originality here, the plot seems generic and overdone. Another wait and see, I'll be checking out the 1st episode to see if Manglobe have put any quirky spin on the concept.(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Isao Miura's fantasy light novels.
The story takes place after an abominable war that foisted a "devil's contract" upon a land. Cecily Campbell, a former noble's daughter who joined a knighthood, encounters a man who dispatches some hoodlums with one sweep of a mysterious sword. The man possesses the power of the same "devil's contract" that has become taboo, now that peace has been restored. Cecily has been searching for a blacksmith who can repair an old sword she inherited from her father, and that mysterious young man happens to be blacksmith named Luke. This encounter launches their adventures together.
6. Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee)
Website: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/tegamibachi/
Japanese Air Date: 3rd October 2009
Animation Company: Studio Pierrot (Bleach, Naruto)
Seiyuu: Ayumi Fujimura, Miyuki Sawashiro, Jun Fukuyama
Number of Episodes: 13
PV: http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/T...hi:_Letter_Bee
*Will be available simulcast on Crunchyroll*
Promo art looks pretty (ooh sparkly purpleness ), but Studio Perriot are quite inconsistent when it comes to their animation (and they also have a fondness for long shows and lots of filler ). I haven't really heard much about Tegami Bachi, I know there was an OVA released a while back, but I skipped that as I don't follow the manga. The synopsis doesn't sound all that exciting, but I've spotted Jun Fukuyama in the cast list so I'm probably going to end up watching this anyway(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Hiroyuki Asada's manga.
Gauche is a governmental employee, given the task to deliver any letter to it's destination. Meeting a young boy who is the letter to be delivered, Gauche makes friends with Lag and inspires him to take up the job. Five years later, Lag Seeing finally becomes his dream, that of a Letter Bee. However, the one who inspired him has gone missing and only there does the mystery start.
7. Sora no Otoshimono
Website: http://anime.webnt.jp/soraoto/
Japanese Air Date: 4th October 2009
Animation Company: AIC ASTA (Bamboo Blade,Tentai Senshi Sunred )
Seiyuu: Saori Hayami, Souichiro Hoshi, Ayahi Takagaki
Number of Episodes: 12 (+1 'Too Hot for TV' )
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPpes3TawEw
Oh god no! Definitely not, not watching this at all! Nothing appeals to me about this at all (although I am well outside the target audience anyway) - the only positive thing I have to say is that the cast seems reasonable! PV was odd – half srsbns complete with brass heavy orchestral score, and half uber-generic harem complete with twee J-Pop soundtrack! Nope not going there!(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Suu Minazuki's Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property) manga.
The story centers around Tomoki Sakurai, an ordinary middle school boy whose motto is "Peace is the #1 priority." However, a strange girl often appears in his dream to ask for his help — only he cannot remember her face when he wakes up. Then, his life gets more complicated when an unidentified mysterious animal (UMA) falls out of the skies. The "animal" turns out to be Ikaros, an angel.
8. Natsu no Arashi! Akinaichuu
Website: http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/natsunoarashi2/
Japanese Air Date: 4th October 2009
Animation Company: Shaft (Bakemonotogari, ef: A Tale of Melodies)
Seiyuu: Ryoko Shiraishi, Yuko Sanpei, Chiaki Omigawa
Number of Episodes: 13
Ah now here's a sequel that I'm looking forward to The 1st season of Natsu no Arashi was a surprise – I wasn't keen to start off with, but by the end of the season it was a firm favourite. The mix of serious, heartwarming WWII stuff, with quirky slice-of-life comedy was very well done and complemented nicely by the ever interesting SHAFT animation. I'm hoping that we get proper answers to the questions posed in season one regarding the whole time-travelling thing – definitely watching this(Original post by Summary)
Second season of the adaptation of Jin Kobayashi's (School Rumble) Natsu no Arashi (Summer Storm) manga.
The story centers on a boy named Hajime Yasaka who meets an older high school girl named Sayoko "Arashi" Arashiyama in an old town coffee shop. "Arashi" happens to have a secret that Hajime learns one fateful summer vacation. Arashi makes a bond with Hajime, enabling them to travel back through time, sometimes to rescue those who died in WWII.
Natsu no Arashi S1 was simulcast on Crunchyroll, I'm assuming they will be doing the same with this 2nd season.
9. Miracle Train ~Ouedo-sen e Youkoso~
Website: http://www.miracle-train.tv/index.html
Japanese Air Date: 4th October 2009
Animation Company: Yumeta Company (Neo Angelique Abyss, La Corda D'Oro)
Seiyuu: Hiroshi Kamiya, Hiroyuki Yoshino, Kenn, Kouki Miyata, Miyu Irino, Ryotaro Okiayu
Number of Episodes: 12
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_mObCVJ9JE
Well it worked for Hetalia, why not train stations!? Um, yeah – looks like they have the full complement of bishie stereotypes on board and I'm getting major yaoi vibes (although I've heard that there is none ) I'll be watching this for the laugh – doubt it will have the same brilliance as Hetalia though.(Original post by Summary)
The Miracle Train project anthropomorphizes several heavily travelled train stations in Tokyo into young handsome male characters. This television series will feature a different cast of characters inspired by the Ouedo subway line — specifically, Fumi Roppongi, Rintarou Shinjuku, Izayoi Tsukishima, Iku Shiodome, Saki Tochou, and Itsumi Ryougoku.

Japanese Air Date: 5th October 2009
Animation Company: Dogakobo (Myself; Yourself, Ryoko's Case File)
Seiyuu: Hiroka Nishizawa, Nami Kurokawa
Number of Episodes: 12
I got bored of season one after struggling though 7 episodes I didn't expect this to get a 2nd season, but it must have been more popular than expected. If moe gender-bent versions of Three Kingdoms characters float your boat, this is the show for you – me? I'll be sticking to Souten Kouro and the other Romance of the Three Kingdoms anime that's airing this season!(Original post by Summary)
Second season of the adaptation of the BaseSon eroge. This anime is loosely based on the classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Having lost her family to bandits during night raid, Kanu swears, she will not let others share the same pain. She quickly becomes a well-known and feared by villains bandit hunter. During her journey she comes across others, who wish to join her cause. One of them is a girl RinRin, who had similar experience with bandits in the past.
Looks like Crunchyroll are getting this - they've started posting the 1st series.

Didn't watch the 1st season, won't be watching the sequel! I know that this series is quite popular and relevant to quite a few peoples interests though(Original post by Summary)
Second season of the adaptation of Yuusaku Igarashi's Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (Haruka Nogizaki's Secret) light novels.
The story centers around Yuuto Ayase and Haruka Nogizaka. Yuuto is seemingly ordinary, but Haruka is attractive, intelligent, and rich, which prompts other students to idolize her and even give her French nicknames like "Nuit Étoile" (The Silver Star of the Night) and "Lumière du Clavier" (The Shining Princess on the Piano). One day, Yuuto wanders into the school library in order to return a book and accidentally stumbles upon Haruka's deepest, darkest secret: she is a diehard fan of anime and manga, in other words, a regular otaku. Promising Haruka to keep this a secret, Yūto becomes her advisor and confidante.

Animation Company: Madhouse Studios (Black Lagoon, Saiunkoku Monogatari)
Seiyuu: Kana Hanazawa, Tetsu Inada
Number of Episodes: 24
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fD6NEi_Czo
Yay CLAMP – so pretty! I haven't been following the Kobato. manga, I generally prefer CLAMPs seinen and shounen stuff to their shoujo stuff. I know that Kobato. will contain characters from Wish as both manga take place in the same universe, and I quite like Wish (it has flying bunnies and Trappy angels! ). I'll be following this as if nothing else it will be pretty (plus I've heard Ioryogi-san is pretty awesome) – glad Madhouse have gotten this show, they seem to work best with CLAMPs character designs (yes I am still bitter about the Tsubasa Chronicle/Bee Train awfulness ).(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of the manga by CLAMP.
Kobato is a young girl that for unknown reasons, needs to fill a mysterious bottle with the feelings of people with a heart in pain. For that she needs to "cure" other people's hearts and make them happy, but this could become even more difficult than she thought. Her companion for this task is a grumpy plush dog she calls Ioryogi-san.
13. Kimi ni Todoke
Website: http://www.ntv.co.jp/kiminitodoke/
Japanese Air Date: 6th October 2009
Animation Company: Production I.G. (Eden of the East, Ghost in the Shell)
Seiyuu: Daisuke Namikawa, Mamiko Noto, Aya Hirano
Number of Episodes: 12
Sounds a touch like Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge but with less blood, bishies and side-splitting comedy. The fact that Production IG is handling this, plus the excellent cast makes me want to check this out though – hope it isn't as generic shoujo as it sounds and that Sawako has some of Sunako's awesomeness (and maybe a knife! )(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Karuho Shiina's shoujo manga Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You).
Sawako Kuronuma is the perfect heroine… for a horror movie. With her jet-black hair, sinister smile, and silent demeanor, she's often mistaken for Sadako, the haunting character from Ringu. Unbeknownst to but a few, behind her scary facade is a very misunderstood teenager. Shy and pure of heart, she just wants to make friends. But when Kazehaya, the most popular boy in class, befriends her, she's sure to make more than just that - she's about to make some enemies, too!
14. 11eyes
Website: http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/11eyes/
Japanese Air Date: 6th October 2009
Animation Company: Dogakobo (Koihime Musou, Myself; Yourself)
Seiyuu: Daisuke Ono, Emiko Hagiwara, Mai Goto
Number of Episodes:
Another eroge adaptation. Dogakobo don't really take the lead much so can't much comment on their capabilities as a Studio. Cast is reasonable looking though but the promo art just looks like any other eroge adaptation I can think of that has action elements (not even the eye-patch is exciting me )– not impressed yet, will need to see 1st episode.(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Lass' 11eyes -Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shoujo- eroge.
The story centers on Kakeru Satsuki, a boy who has been mourning the loss of his last remaining family member, his older sister, for the past five years. Satsuki, his childhood friend Yuka Minase, and four other Kōryōkan Academy schoolmates are suddenly transported to the world of "Red Night," where a giant black moon hangs over the skies. The six can only return home after dealing with the six black knights of this alternate world.
15. Sasameki Koto

Japanese Air Date: 7th October 2009
Animation Company: AIC (Seto no Hanayome, Tenchi Muyo)
Seiyuu: Ayahi Takagaki, Megumi Takamoto
Number of Episodes: 12
Oh not more yuri! Where is the yaoi series damnit!?(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Takashi Ikeda's yuri manga Sasameki Koto (Whispered Words).
The story revolves around Sumika, a popular high school honors student who has a secret she does not reveal to anyone: she loves her classmate Ushio. Sumika hears that Ushio is also "a girl who likes girls," but Sumika's feelings have yet to be reciprocated.
Ahem. Apparently this is much more comedic and lighthearted than the melodrama that was Aoi Hana – not my thing at all though, I'm not fond of yuri. Will look at the 1st episode to see that the writing is like but doubt that I'll stick it out.

24. Winter Sonata
Website: http://anime-wintersonata.com/index.html
Japanese Air Date: 17th October 2009
Animation Company: Key East
Seiyuu: Bae Yong Jun, Choi Ji Woo
Number of Episodes: 26
PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swDT1…eature=related
(Original post by Summary)
Adaptation of Winter Sonata (also known as Winter Love Song), the blockbuster 2002 Korean drama television series that helped launch the "Korean wave" of pop culture in Japan.
The drama follows two childhood friends — a boy and a girl — and the tragedy and angst that befalls them and those around them in the years between high school and young adulthood.
I've heard that this will have the original Korean actors reprising their roles for the anime, so I can only assume its airing as Korean audio with Japanese subs (no one seems to know for sure anywhere I've checked). Winter Sonata has been widely anticipated as the original K-Drama was a massive success…..I haven't seen it myself. I'm expecting massive amounts of DORAMA and weepiness, and I'm actually quite looking forward to it – just hope its not too heavy or that could be difficult to watch.

Each episode will contain three short stories, an "appetizer," "entree," and "desert." The first two "dishes" of each episode will depict the ghostly events that revolve around sixth-grade schoolgirl Ako Ozora. The closing chapter of each episode will be a ghost story told by Ako and her classmates.
Publisher Doshinsha has released over 50 volumes of the Kaiden Restaurant book series since 1996, selling over 7 million copies so far.
So thats, that! As ever keep an eye on the Fansub Wiki for information who subs what. I'll update the post whenever Crunchyroll starts announcing what series they are getting.
As usual I'll be reviewing the 1st episodes of most shows – look out for them soon!

Yay, I was looking forward to this thread. A joy to read, as always. Good work compiling and commenting on each series, it must have taken some time, so for that, I'm thankful.
As mentioned in the on-topic thread, I'm intending to pick up Tegami Bachi, Trapeze, Fairy Tail, Kimi ni Todoke, Darker Than Black: Ryusei no Gemini and Inuyasha: The Final Act. I'm anticipating Fairy Tail and Trapeze the most, followed by the sequels for Darker Than Black and InuYasha, the latter of which less due to the wait. I can hardly remember the original series because it's been so long.

Howard Kurtz's double standard on double standards
Howard Kurtz on CNN, yesterday [1]:
Friday night, a new scandal story emerged involving Senator Max Baucus, leading -- one of the leading Democrats in the health care debate. It turns out that he recommended to the U.S. attorney, the top federal prosecutor in his home state of Montana, his girlfriend, a woman who had been on his Senate payroll and suddenly was being -- she did not get the job, but she was on this list.
I just think that news organizations that have played this down have left themselves open to charges after the John Ensign story and after the Mark Sanford story that they're a little less enthusiastic about Democratic scandal.
This is crazy-talk, pure and simple [2].
Remember: During the 1996 presidential campaign, Howard Kurtz's own newspaper spiked a story about Bob Dole having an affair [3], after having covered allegations that Bill Clinton had affairs. Was that an example of the media being "a little less enthusiastic" about Democratic affairs? How about when the Post assigned half its newsroom [4] to cover the Lewinsky story?
Or when MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski (who, according to Kurtz, is a liberal host on a liberal cable channel) allowed [5] Rudy Giuliani to invoke Bill Clinton's infidelity earlier this year, without calling Giuliani on his own high-profile affairs? When Howard Kurtz was asked about that, he didn't suggest the media is "a little less enthusiastic about Republican scandal." But, less than 48 hours after the Baucus story broke, he's ready to claim it demonstrates that the media is less enthusiastic about Democratic scandals. Nonsense.
PS: Maybe Kurtz has heard of Whitewater [6]?

Carnival Dream Eastern July 2: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by nikkinoo1011
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Dream Eastern July 2
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
The not so good: There is a slight smell at times. It did not bother me to much. It's not a big deal to me. It's more like a whiff of sewage smell or bathroom odor and it's gone. The food was okay. I am not a picky person and my standards are not that high. The buffet could have been better at lunch to me. My pancakes and waffles were cold every morning. The syrup was only warm one day on the cruise. Just my opinion. This did not ruin the cruise from me in any way. When we ate in the dining room, if I ordered something and did not like it, I simply would order something else. The staff want you to leave happy and full. Now, to what seems to be a big topic on these boards....ship movement. Yes, The Dream moves a lot. Especially, when weather is rough. It was very rocky the first two days, and then calmed down a lot afterwards. Wherever we went, we could feel the movement. My entire party took Dramamine before dinner because the movement seemed worse in the dining room. Again, this too did not ruin my trip. I just took my meds, and went with it. I will say that I have been on a cruise before and do not remember ever feeling as much as this ship. My sister in law has been on many cruises and said this ship had the most movement of any she has felt before. We spoke to our wait staff in the dining room and she said the ship moves most from now until October because of hurricane season. If we sail her again, we may try to go in a different season. I am not the type of person to get motion sickness easy, and the movements did get annoying. It seemed like a constant side to side motion.
Overall, I would sail The Dream again. She would not be my first choice because of the movements, but I would do it all over again if I had the chance. I think we will try different vessels first, though. Our trip was the Eastern Caribbean July 2-9. Sorry this review is short and abbreviated. I will gladly answer any questions if any was wants to ask. Less

Not everybody wants Walmart in the South Bay
Re "Hundreds apply for jobs at new Wal-Marts" (April 24):
Why do the mayors of Hawthorne and Torrance think that having a Walmart market is a good thing?
There are numerous websites that show how Walmart abuses its workers. Just go online and do a search. The articles tell how the employees are not paid well and go on Medicaid and food stamps. There have been class-action lawsuits against Walmart.
An article on the Forbes website is headlined "Walmart pays workers poorly and sinks while Costco pays workers well and sails - proof that you get what you pay for." The article cites Bloomberg Businessweek reporting, "Walmart placed last among department and discount stores in the American Customer Satisfaction Index, the sixth year in a row the company has either tied or taken the last spot. "
Thank goodness we have stores like Costco that pay and treat their employees well. It is troubling to me that we subsidize a company like Walmart - one of the richest companies in the world. It is welfare for the rich.
It is legal, but it's unethical, and I refuse to shop there and support this type of business.

President more interested in his agenda than our lives
Re "Furlough days ended for FAA" (April 27):
Voters can learn a lot from the president's handling of the Federal Aviation Administration delays.
The legislation he signed was identical to the one Republicans offered him before the sequester. The fact that he was more interested in his own agenda than our lives is troubling.
And this concern by Republican lawmakers counters the claim that they are not interested in the lives of all Americans. We can't say that of a party whose president chastises the rich for making too much money, and punishes the average American, just to win and election.

New lanes in San Pedro cause cycle of confusion
Re "Bike lane project leads to backlash" (April 29):
I appreciate bicyclists and their right to a part of the roadway. However, to lose a lane on each side of the street on Capitol and Westmont drives in San Pedro is ridiculous. To suggest that bicyclists can stop and use the "buffer" zones while somebody might or might not be opening their car door is simply absurd.
No wonder people are confused and angry. There is too much vehicular traffic on these streets. Customers from the Home Depot and the shopping centers, and the parents of children, of surrounding schools will be seriously impacted by this. These buffer zones are an accident waiting to happen.
If one car lane is going to be eliminated because of the Complete Streets Act, then the bike lane should incorporate the box markings on the pavement so bicyclists can stay over to the left and continue their rides without stopping. And it should have been done to only one of the two streets involved, not both, considering their proximity.
- Rick Blackson, San Pedro
In this case, train would be just as slow as freeway
Re "405 project delayed a year" (April 26):
The 405 Freeway widening project is a year behind and $75 million dollars over budget. What a surprise. And this is just on improving an existing structure.
I am hard-put to imagine what the high-speed rail project will ultimately cost, and how far behind schedule it will be, given the lawsuits, land purchases and construction involved.

PlayhouseSquare to have a new attraction
(Cleveland) -- Work is underway to give PlayhouseSquare what officials hope is a record-setting attraction.
PlayhouseSquare President Art Falco announced Monday a massive chandelier will be hung over East 14th Street and Euclid Avenue.
Falco says Cleveland-based GE Lighting is sponsoring the chandelier and providing the LED lighting to make over PlayhouseSquare with vintage signs, video screens and a redesigned Star Plaza.
The changes will be unveiled to the public on May 2nd. Falco says once the weather warms up, the scramble will begin to prepare the theater district for the grand unveiling.

Connor and Cayden Long – Sports Illustrated's Sports Kids of the Year and Inspirational Beyond Words
Sports Illustrated recently named Connor and Cayden Long their Sports Kids for 2012. The Boys' story is one of the most incredible and inspirational stories I have ever seen. Connor and Cayden race in triathlons, but it's how they race, as brothers, that makes this story so unbelievable. Connor was very excited when he found out he would have a little brother and couldn't wait. Cayden finally came, but was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy within just a few months.Connor had trouble understanding why his brother could not walk or talk like he could. Once he understood, that's when he jumped into action.
Connor figured the best way for him to bond with Cayden was to do everything together and when a local triathlon for kids was organized, Connor knew that was the ticket. They have been racing together ever since and Connor will not enter any race without his brother. Where they always finish means absolutely nothing……how they finish means everything.
See the Sports Illustrated presentation video and then watch the longer video below it, which gives a much more in depth look at their story and their lives. Watching the two videos will be one of the most inspirational 15 minutes of your life. Thank you boys for the inspiration and the lesson in brotherly love. Connor, you are the best big brother ever.

Higher education in Nevada has always felt like a poor relation in a state that seems suspicious of the need for colleges and universities.
Now, with more and deeper budget cuts looming, it is beginning to feel even more threadbare and unloved.
Gov. Jim Gibbons wants the Nevada System of Higher Education to cut another 10 percent from its budget to help the state address its budget crisis.
But enough is enough, higher education officials say.
State spending on higher education has dropped 28 percent from 2007-09, the peak two-year budget, to $954 million in the current budget cycle.
What does that mean for students, teachers and the institutions?
At UNR, among other things, it means you can no longer major in German, even though much research literature in, say, physics, was written in German. Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, for example, in the Annalen der Physik.
A student can still get a passing knowledge of German in the few remaining classes, but it complicates future academic life if he or she needs more.
"German historically is part of the core of what a university does," UNR President Milton Glick said.
Like UNR, UNLV has cut only programs and majors on the decline, such as the Marriage and Family Therapy Department and the Center for Health Sciences Research. Students are a large source of budget dollars through tuition and other fees, and cutting big-enrollment programs doesn't save money.
"You could quickly drive yourself into a death spiral," UNLV President Neal Smatresk said.
Both institutions have scrimped on other things. Most vacancies go unfilled, administrators double up on jobs, carpenters repair less, custodians clean less. The goal is to avoid laying off tenured faculty, who have the right not to be dismissed without cause.
"A good faculty pays for itself many times over" through the ability to attract federal and other research grants and help recruit other good faculty, Smatresk said. "They're the geese that lay the golden eggs."
But because of two recent rounds of budget cuts, and possible sterner cuts when the Legislature convenes in February, Smatresk said, "the faculty are left thinking: 'We're not sure Nevada loves us.' "
The Board of Regents seems headed for a clash with Gibbons and perhaps the Legislature over budget plans.
In the 2009-11 budget, education spending is about 55 cents of every $1 of the general fund. About 15 cents goes to the university system and nearly 40 cents goes to K-12 education, according to the state budget director's office.
The state is facing a $3 billion deficit in its $6.5 billion budget for 2011-13, or almost all of the $3.6 billion spent on education.
Gibbons has asked all state agencies to submit 10 percent budget cuts for the 2011-13 budget cycle. But unlike most state agency chiefs, the regents are elected, not appointed by the governor. The board has always regarded itself as an independent steward of higher education.
In seeming defiance of Gibbons' call for cuts, the regents a week ago voted 11-1 for a nearly 25 percent increase — or $1.19 billion — in state spending for higher education.
The dissenting regent, Ron Knecht of Carson City, said "expecting an increase at this point would be the height of self-absorption."
Since the 2001-03 budget, spending on higher education has risen nearly 40 percent, according to Jeremy Aguero, an analyst with Applied Analysis of Las Vegas.
With that said, the university system has "clearly borne a disproportionate share of the state's budget cuts," Aguero said.
The budget the regents approved, including money from tuition and other fees, will rise just 3 percent to $1.65 billion. The 25 percent increase requested by the regents refers only to the state's contribution. Nearly $185 million in one-time-only federal stimulus money will be missing in this budget cycle.
Moreover, taking into account inflation and the resulting reduction in the power to buy goods and services, the 3 percent budget increase almost vanishes.
Like Nevada, the university system has grown rapidly. In the past quarter century, enrollment has grown by 2 1/2 times to nearly 114,000 students in 2009.
Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, is sympathetic to university concerns but spoke bluntly.
"If the system is going to collapse, let's talk about it," she said.
"The public is not going to support new taxes unless they fully understand the consequences of what budget cuts are going to be."

Tokyo police officers will take part in the city's marathon this month, the force said Wednesday, as Japan ramps up security after Islamic State militants killed two of its citizens.
With the country still reeling from the beheadings of journalist Kenji Goto and self-styled security contractor Haruna Yukawa, officials have gone into overdrive to show they are protecting the populace.
A total of 64 officers — dubbed the "Running Police" — will jog the entire 26-mile (42-kilometer) course on Feb. 22, a Tokyo police spokesman said. Some 36,000 professional and fun-runners are expected to take part in the race.
"This is part of our effort to tighten security after the (2013) bomb attack on the Boston Marathon as well as the recent attacks in countries such as Australia and France," he said.
"Good runners will be selected from police ranks so that they can keep up with the pace of participants.
"They will wear a cap and vest showing the logos of the Metropolitan Police Department, so that they will also give participants reassurance and will help prevent crime."
Tokyo Shimbun reported that the officers will also wear cameras on their heads.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered security be tightened at home and around Japanese overseas after the executions by the Islamic State group, who also released a video Tuesday purporting to show a Jordanian pilot being burned alive.

Today Christina Uticone shared what her friends have to say about which foods are the best for the munchies. Commenter Jack made his own suggestion:
"Dirty" anything from Zilla Street Eats. What doesn't taste better topped with crushed cheetos or cheesy fries?
It's true - Zilla's fare does seem tailor-made for the stoners among us. Then again, the plain, old drunks among us clearly love it too.

I am having a problem with dependencies and job arrays. I've seen several messages on the list about this but no resolution. We are using torque 2.5.8

I first submit several jobs in an array: qsub -l -t 1-3
This returns jobid1[]

If I call the job with qsub -l depend:afteranyarray:jobid1[]

Then the second job doesn't wait until the job array (jobid1[]) has completed. It starts up about 20 seconds after the various jobs in the job array are started and of course fails since the results of jobid1 aren't ready yet. I've also tried using depend:afterokarray, depend:afterok and depend:afterany.

I've also tried submitting the second job with: qsub -W depend:afteranyarray:jobid1[] (as well as the same permutations as above). In this case the second job does hold... forever.

When I run checkjob on each job in the array I find they have all completed successfully with an exit status of 0.

When I checkjob the held job I get

Cookie Cake
When my children were in elementary school, I loved baking treats for them to take to school on their birthdays. Then one year, Nick, my youngest, asked if I could buy a grocery store cookie cake instead of something homemade. Harumph, I thought. But it was his day, so I honored his request. But I got to thinking that I could make a version at home that would be sooooo much better. I just packed chocolate chip cookie dough into my deep dish pizza pan and decorated it with icing after it cooled. The whole family loved it. And I never got another request to buy a cookie cake.
Easter Cookie Cake
Fast forward to this year. As a blogger, I "should" work ahead of the season. Like roasting a turkey in October so I can share it with you a few weeks before Thanksgiving. Usually, I forget or don't bother. But seeing all the Easter candy on the store shelves, I grabbed a few bags and settled on baking up a cookie cake for the March book club meeting I was hosting at my house. I used chocolate chips, Easter colored M&M's, Easter egg M&M's and Cadbury mini Easter eggs. The wedges of candy-laden cookie were a hit with my girlfriends. Needless to say, my chocoholic family loved the leftovers.
- ½ cup butter (1 stick or 4 ounces)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⅓ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¾ cup chocolate candies (I used Easter M&M's and mini Cadbury eggs), divided
- Preheat oven to 350º. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Mix in the sugars, then the vanilla. Then stir in the egg.
- Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt just till combined. Add the chocolate chips and ½ cup of the candies. Reserve the remainder of the candy to garnish cookie cake when it comes out of the oven. Mix well.
- Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, then smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake for 25 minutes or till top is golden brown. Remove from oven and gently press remaining candies across the surface of the cookie cake while it's hot.
- Cool before slicing.

PHILADELPHIA – The Ivy League has announced its spring Academic All-Ivy recipients, and 10 University of Pennsylvania student-athletes -- five men, five women -- were honored.
Austin Bossart (baseball) started all 41 games for Penn, 35 of them at catcher, and was named first-team All-Ivy while hitting .297 with a .397 on-base percentage. The junior co-captain also hit four home runs and had 19 RBI. Penn posted a 3.64 team ERA with him behind the plate. Bossart compiled a .993 fielding percentage, making only two errors, while throwing out 11-of-31 base stealers and picking off three more. During the season, he earned Ivy League and Big 5 Player of the Week honors for April 22.
Sol Eskenazi (women's tennis) played the No. 1 position for Penn and earned her third-straight first-team All-Ivy honors. The Buenos Aires, Argentina native was unanimously selected first-team All-Ivy for the second time in her career after putting together a 14-3 overall record (4-3 in Ivy matches). Eskenazi is the first player in program history with three-straight first-team All-Ivy selections in doubles, doing so with three different partners, and the first Penn player since 1999 to receive three-straight first-team All-Ivy selections.
Brian Feeney (men's lacrosse) was a third-team USILA All-America this year, and earned first-team All-Ivy goalie for second straight year. The Quakers' four-year backstop also earned a spot on the Ivy League All-Tournament Team as Penn won event for first time. Penn finished the season 11-4 overall, winning eight games in a row at the end of the season, and hosted NCAA game for first time since 1988.
Elysse Gorney (softball) received first-team All-Ivy recognition for the second time in her career, starting 38 of Penn's 42 games at catcher. A two-time captain, she hit .304 and slugged .435 to help the Quakers to their third straight South Division title where they lost to Dartmouth in three games.
Kelsey Hay (women's track & field) earned honorable mention All-America status at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the women's javelin. Prior to that, Hay won the Heptagonal Games title in the event and set the school record as the first Penn woman to surpass 50 meters in the javelin.
Jenna Hebert (women's rowing) was a CRCA All-Region selection for second time in as many years, rowing the 7 seat in Penn's Varsity 8 throughout the spring. Last summer, she was a member of the United States Under-23 national team in the lightweight quadruple sculls.
Zach Katz (men's tennis) had the best winning percentage on this year's team in singles (23-8, .742). The two-year captain went 4-0 in Ivy matches (3 DNF), and also put together a 7-2 mark (1 DNF) at No. 2 doubles for the Quakers.
Meg Markham (women's lacrosse) excelled on defense in 2014, becoming the first Penn player to earn first-team IWLCA All-America honors since 2010. Markham was named Ivy League Defender of the Year and unanimous first-team All-Ivy after leading the Ancient Eight and finishing fifth nationally in caused turnovers per game. Markham helped the women's lacrosse team to its eighth consecutive Ivy League championship, and then earned All-Tournament honors as the Quakers won their second straight Ivy League Tournament title.
Sam Mattis (men's track & field) earned first-team All-America honors in the discus at this year's NCAA Championships. Prior to that, the sophomore set the school record in the event and repeated as Heptagonal Games champion.
Peter St. Michael (men's heavyweight rowing) rowed in Penn's Varsity 8 during the 2013-14 season, sitting in the No. 4 seat for most of the campaign. The highlight of the spring for St. Michael and the Varsity 8 was a weekend sweep of three races which was headlined by a win over then-No. 2 Northeastern to reclaim the Burk Cup. In the fall, St. Michael rowed in the Varsity 8 as it won the Navy Day Regatta on the Schuylkill River.

Dick Move: The Inevitable Counterargument for Death Grips' Punk Cred...
Epitonic takes on the counterargument for Death Grips' leaky pipe:
For me, the album art of NO LOVE DEEP WEB, the cancelled tour, and the possibility that they made a ridiculously dumb decision in signing to a major label is a big hit to their integrity, though their core audience seems to eat it up. Even worse, if it's a PR stunt, the business of Death Grips capitalizing on a "punk" attitude is straight up sickening. Many have hailed how "punk" Death Grips are for the album scenario. That is bullshit.

A Focused Framework for Community Development
Build, Measure, Learn through Event Mapping
July 2015
Virginia Carlson, DataRubrics
I. Overview
The Focused Framework (Framework) is a measurement tool that supports a paradigm shift in social sector work. Rather than developing products or programs that may meet a need, social sector actors are beginning to understand that it is critical for philanthropy and its partners to continuously explore the causes of the problems they wish to address in order to achieve scalable and enduring change on behalf of low income people and under-resourced places. Such exploration may result in initiatives that are not necessarily new formal programs, such aligning existing funding or partnerships, activating existing assets, or changing administrative procedures. There is a growing sense that these latter kinds of initiatives are more likely to have a long-run systemic impact that will endure after the formal funding has ended.
The Framework is meant to assist an initiative in focusing and developing its approach by stipulating a series of "thinking and measuring steps" that elucidates connections between problems and solutions and forces actors to lay out and test assumptions, hypotheses, and logical connections between interventions and expected outcomes. Connection-testing is done with build/measure/learn activities via event mapping.
Embedded tenets:
• Actors work best when they are open to questioning their own assumptions by engaging in a build/measure/learn feedback culture in order to explore those assumptions
• Much can be learned from lean learnings—quick trials, research, and experiments in order to design strategies
• Solution-finding must involve the people whose stories we are trying to change
• The "measures" in build/measure/learn activities can become key metrics for understanding how healthy communities function
II. The Learning Framework
Recognizing that the practice of systems intervention is neither linear nor predetermined, the Learning Framework is nevertheless laid out as a phased process. The activity of approaching the collective tables' thinking in a step-by-step manner forces everyone to confront fuzzy thinking, helps slow down the impulse to implement large-scale (as opposed to scalable) projects or programs, and gives sites a tool by which they can monitor their own progress. In brief, the steps are
• Define Problem
→ articulate the dimensions of the problem to be addressed
• State Goal
→ set a realistic goal
• Identify Key Assumptions and Choose Strategy Areas
→ articulate understanding of the root causes of the problem: "This problem exists because"
→ choose a few strategy areas, based upon assumptions about why the problem exists and where the actor has leverage or experience
• Articulate Hypotheses and Choose Specific Efforts
→ make connections between efforts and possible outcomes: "If we do X, then Y will come about"
• Trial-run Efforts
→ using Build Measure Learn (BML) activities with event mapping, trial-run the chosen "X's"
• Reflect
→ reflect on learnings from the BML activity with stakeholders
• Act
→ take next steps based on learnings, which may include returning to a prior step, scaling up the effort, or re-running the activity
In order to address the problem of under-resourced immigrant communities, we've set a goal to increase family income by 2% within a year. Several assumptions have presented themselves through field research, brainstorming, etc.: immigrant communities are under-resourced because of language barriers, because of a lack of skills, because families are reluctant or unable to access supplemental income programs such as food stamps and energy assistance. We decide to focus our strategy on income support programs. We hypothesize that if only immigrant families knew about the programs, they'd sign up for them.
In order to test this, the specific effort (linked to the hypothesis) we undertake can be summarized as "if we send home information in children's school backpacks then their parents will be enticed to access supplemental income programs." (We might have chosen another effort within this same hypothesis, such as information via telenovelas).
Yet, instead of jumping to a large program that creates materials and targets all public school children we decide to run a BML activity. We target just one school where we know that 99% of the families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (so are likely eligible for supplemental programs), and one supplement program (say, energy assistance) for the test activity.
We begin by creating a simple event map matrix that marks out the goal the steps, and the measures for each step. As we run the test, we also collect data that tells us what happened. (See below).
In this example we learn that our expectations were not met in terms of timing for the development of the materials; that we aren't sure how many of the families received and read the materials (only about 25% of families sent back the "yes we saw this material" card), and the energy assistance program only reported two new families from this school took up energy assistance.
Reflecting upon the data from this experiment, we might decide several things: 1) sending home materials through school is not a viable option, since we have no way of knowing whether or not families saw the material; but at the same time 2) of the 23 families who DID report having seen the materials, two did take up energy assistance and so we did make our goal in terms of percentages (we expected approximately 10% of 118 families to take-up, we did get about 10% of the 23 families we know saw the materials). Perhaps we can conclude that once having gotten the information, families did take action, but we are not sure whether the delivery mechanism is correct.
We also get feedback from stakeholders, including the voice of the client, teachers themselves, the energy assistance program, etc. From them we learn that not all teachers knew what to do with the cards that were returned, and a bundle ended up in the dust bin; a number of parents believed that by returning the card, they'd get more information on the energy program from the school; a number of parents don't bother reading any of the flyers/information that comes home in backpacks; the materials were written in formal Spanish but most of the families speak Latin American Spanish, etc.
Taking action from these learnings, we are likely to decide that our effort—"send information home in children's backpacks" is likely not a good approach. We don't throw away the entire hypothesis, which was that if we gave families information about the supplemental income programs, they would sign up for them. But we'd perhaps test one or another efforts—peer learning through CBO's or infomercials on daytime television. If neither of these worked, then we'd might likely conclude that the hypothesis is wrong—even when families know about the programs, they still do not sign up for them.
We also don't throw out the assumption—that families are reluctant or unable to access supplemental income programs such as food stamps and energy assistance. We'd turn to our other hypotheses suggested by the assumption (e.g., families need safe space to apply) and test out efforts within that. When we find something that works, we then consider whether it really is scalable, about what would have to be re-aligned, to create population-level change.
In this way, the process of discovery and learning repeats itself. As we learn, other assumptions and strategies emerge and are fed back into the "stepped learning process" we have described here.
A note about a strategy for measuring change and whether we are moving to longer-term goals. In this example, by involving a local administrator for energy-assistance we have been able to attain our person-level, short-term measure of "whether or not enrolled in a supplemental income program." What we will want to track in the medium- and long- term then are more aggregate measures related to income assistance and children living in poverty. It is likely that state-run assistance programs release aggregate data on families receiving income assistance, and American Community Survey data will give us the information we need to look at the relationship between assistance take-up and poverty levels.

The Dark Knight has won the 2008 Grand Prix in the inaugural Digital Entertainment Group Japan Awards, honouring the best Blu-ray Disc releases in Japan during 2008.
The release, which also picked up Best in Picture Quality (Live Action), was commended by the judges for "Outstanding image quality that justifies its acclaim as the 2008 Blu-ray title of the year."
Top animation honours went to Disney for the Collector's Edition of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, the judges saying that "The textures of fabrics within the film are stunningly reproduced, providing a sense of detail that could not be detected in movie theaters".
Two Japanese titles took Best Sound Awards, the music title going to an NHK disc of Seiji Ozawa conducting the Berlin Philharmonic in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No 6, in which "The extreme detail and depth of sound convey even the changes in breath of the conductor, and every nuance of the musicians.
"The 96/24 linear PCM delivers a wondrous experience, while the amazingly high resolution sound reproduces every detail of the musical performance."
More after the break
Bandai's release of anime classic Ghost in the Shell took the movie sound award, the judges saying that the "Exquisite, high density surround sound evokes a sense of space and atmosphere."
The judging committee comprises leading reviewers and editors from Japan's home cinema titles, led by Reiji Asakura.

Department For Work and Pensions: Stop punishing the unwell, unemployed and disabled.
This page came about because of my own huge frustrations with the DWP whilst trying to claim ESA and DLA due to my struggle with bipolar disorder. The stress these struggles have caused has had a hugely negative effect on my illness and I am shocked by the unfairness, lack of clarity and lack of efficiency I have experienced from the DWP.
After hearing of so many similar stories I decided it was time to do something about it.
Please support this really important campaign.
Thanks for your time.

Here in Bangkok, the weather does not provide much to talk about - it is either hot or very hot, quite humid or very humid. But pollution is almost as commonly discussed in Asia - at least among expatriates - as the weather is back home.
A dinner party almost invariably produces a round of pollution stories: the friends whose children developed chronic asthma in Delhi; the horrors of heavy industrial waste in Beijing; the filth in the sea off the beaches near Bangkok. But anybody who endured the 1997 haze in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore generally wins the raconteur's first prize.
The smog caused by forest and plantation fires in Indonesia was so intense that visibility was reduced to metres, schools were closed and children ordered to stay indoors. The populations of whole cities wore protection masks. A plane crash-landed on Borneo killing all on board. And still the fires continue to blight South-East Asia each year.
Reporting from the region has involved regular deathly disasters of landslides, flood and famine. Vietnam is now expecting its third year of heavy floods. Millions in Bangladesh and north-eastern India are already cut off by heavy rains.
The UN Environment Program's study has named this climatic calamity the Asian Brown Cloud - which it probably needs if proper local action is to be taken.
It would be encouraging to think this issue would merit discussion at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg starting on Saturday week. But it is apparently too late to be squeezed on to the biggest agenda in history.
Those of us in Asia will have to seek consolation in the striking landscapes and dramatic dusks, even if they are getting hazier by the day.

The Problem of Noise
Noise is a serious problem for most work places. The fact of the matter is that noise means distracted workers and distracted workers are usually unhappy, unproductive, and quite costly. Here's the deal:
- The average worker is distracted more than 2 hours and is interrupted over 70 times every day.
- They experience more stress, make more mistakes, solve fewer problems, are absent more frequently, and turn over more often.
- This all adds up to a $600 billion loss annually.
No one likes that. Not workers, not employers. It's a real problem, as I said, but an often-overlooked one in that it doesn't seem like office noise is really that big of a deal. Surely, it's something bigger. But as we office workers know, noise really is that big of a deal- it's distracting!! It's so hard to focus and get any work done when we're distracted. That's why we day dream, goof off online, and look for distraction…even when we need to work. And then the end of the day comes, and it's like, "Dang it. Not again." We promise ourselves we'll do better tomorrow, and yet the next day comes and we have the same problems without the right resources.
Having the Right Tool for the Job
As a worker, there's not much you can do for others. But you can help yourself by plugging in a sound machine. As crazy as it sounds, using a little white noise can go a long way in combating bigger, more distracting noise. The idea is that consistent, uniform background noise allows the brain to tune out inconsistent, erratic, and even louder noise. The point is not to drown it all out but to not focus on it. This is where a sound machine comes in- choose your white noise of choice and work away.
Sound machines are a great resource for overcoming office distraction. If you're not sure if it will work for you, try this free white noise generator first.

Hi Their, I am now up and running with VMware Essentials Version 5 - I wondered if anyone could clarify the meaning of Virtual Sockets when configuring a new VM, do they mean virtual CPU's ?. My server is 2 x AMD opteron 6136 2.4ghz with 8 cores - so the maximum I could configure is 2 virtual sockets 8 virtual cores per socket (depending on OS).. Is that correct or am I missing something ?.

I am an ESXi Hypervisor user, so not too familiar with Essentials, but as far as I know, the limitations should be the same where CPU's are concerned. You might find some information here:
Best I can tell, your limitation is 6 physical cores per physical socket, and a maximum of 8 cores per virtual machine (which would translate to 4 cores per virtual socket).
Hope that helps. I know its a bit confusing, and many folks (myself included) have had to do quite a bit of searching to find the info needed.

Thanks for the reply - I think you are possibly referring to version 4 where the limitations are 6 cores per socket. Version 5 has unlimited physical cores per socket (2 sockets per machine).
Oct 24, 2011 at 8:27 UTC
Yes, the ESXi Hypervisor is 4.1. ESXi has moved on to v5, but I do not think there is a v5 Hypervisor.
Oct 24, 2011 at 8:55 UTC
Vsphere 5 uses the ESXI hypervisor, there is no ESX in Vsphere 5
The CPU options have changed in Vshere 5, you can pick virtual sockets and cores per socket.
Take a look at the link below which may clarify the reasons behind it
I would say you are correct in your ariginal assumption, you can only specify the cores and sockets you have available.
when I set them on my 1 socket 4 core test rig, if I pick 4 vsockets I can only pick 1 core per socket.

Spot on - that helped a lot thank you- any combination of sockets/cores work up to the physical amount available on your box (in our case 16). Dependent of course on guest o/s.
Oct 24, 2011 at 5:26 UTC
If you mean when configuring VM guest hardware, they're referring to the number of CPUs the guest thinks it's running.
If you're referring to the entitlement that you have in vSphere 5, it looks like you're allowed 8 cores per CPU, two CPUs per physical server, and 3 physical servers total. But I seem to remember that it's actually accounted for on a cluster aggregate basis.
