If John Ford hadn't made THE WINGS OF EAGLES, Commander Frank W. 'Spig' Wead
would be best known today for the impressive collection of military-oriented
stories he wrote for motion pictures, during the 30s and 40s. Among his
credits are HELL DIVERS (with Wallace Beery and Clark Gable), TEST PILOT
(with Gable and Spencer Tracy), DIVE BOMBER (with Errol Flynn and Fred
MacMurray), and THEY WERE EXPENDABLE (for John Ford, with John Wayne and
Robert Montgomery). He brought to his writing a love of flying, pride in the
military, and an understanding that a 'greater good' must sometimes take
precedence over personal happiness.
In THE WINGS OF EAGLES, director Ford illustrates how Wead's life was every bit as interesting and dramatic as anything he wrote. A close personal friend (so much so that he even cast Ward Bond to play a thinly-disguised version of himself, named 'John Dodge', in the film), Ford was witness to many of the triumphs and tragedies of the pioneer Naval aviator/engineer's life. After completing THE SEARCHERS, Ford commemorated the tenth anniversary of his friend's passing with this sensitive, 'warts-and-all' tribute.
Wead (portrayed by John Wayne, in one of his most fully realized characterizations...he even sacrificed his hairpiece, as the older Wead, for the sake of authenticity), begins the film as a typical hell-raising Ford hero, a Navy flier who loved taunting his Army counterparts (led by the terrific Kenneth Tobey), lived for the sheer joy of flying bi-planes (even when he was clueless as to HOW to fly them), and had the love of a feisty yet devoted woman (Maureen O'Hara, of course!) But, in keeping with the tone of much of the older Ford's work, Wead's life does not tie itself up into a neat, happy package, but develops into a complex near-tragedy of a man so consumed with his career that his marriage breaks down, and has his greatest dream snatched away from him when an accident cripples him. Rather than falling back on the potential aid a wife could provide, he refuses her help, relying on his Navy 'family' (represented by Dan Dailey, in one of his most popular roles) for rehabilitation. With Pearl Harbor, Wead's expertise is again called upon, and he leaves a successful career as a screenwriter to rejoin the Navy, becoming the innovator of jeep carriers...only to see his health fail him, yet again, forcing him out of the service he loved.
It is a story both sad and moving, and Wayne, so often accused of being 'bigger than life' and one-dimensional in his portrayals, again demonstrates his underrated acting talent, capturing the frustration of a man who never truly achieves the ultimate triumphs he dreams of. Wead is a 'real' person, not always likable, but someone you learn to admire for his sheer determination to contribute, and not surrender to self-pity.
With an excellent supporting cast (particularly Ken Curtis, as Wead's lifelong friend, John Dale Price), THE WINGS OF EAGLES may disappoint someone looking for a 'typical' war movie, but, as a film biography, is far more honest than Hollywood's 'usual' hokum.
'Spig' Wead would have loved it!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Maureen O'Hara is teamed with a very inferior part in "The Wings of
Eagles," a moving tribute based on a true story...
As Wayne's neglected, temperamental wife, she finds her dedicated husband frequently spending most of his time and energy on improving the status of Navy aviation...
On the night, Wayne is appointed skipper of a fighter squadron, he falls down a flight of stairs and suffers back injuries that render him a cripple...
Determined to fight his way back to some kind of independence, he persuades his wife to leave him and live her own life with their two daughters...
Nursed back to health by his sidekick (Dan Daileylargely instrumental in motivating him in physical rehabilitation) he begins a new civilian career as a successful Hollywood writer...
Just when Wayne and Maureen, now a successful businesswoman, plan a reconciliation, news is broadcast of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor...
Maureen is last seen having another test of Irish temper as she heaves her half-packed suitcase across the room, frustrated that she again has lost her husband to the Navy...
Despite his handicap, Wayne is sent to the Pacific theater of war to supervise his revolutionary jeep-carrier tactical system...
The film is filled with humor: Wayne's plane landing in the swimming pool strike in the middle of the admiral's out-door tea party; the clubroom fight and cake throwing; the assorted cast members falling into the pool... It is also filled with deep drama and heartbreaking tragedy: the tender kiss of a wife deeply in love on the head of a man in pain; Wayne learning to walk again; the shipmates on deck in full military ceremony to say goodbye to a decorated flying ace...
Ford gives a special warmth to a friend, considered a national hero...
Not one of Ford's best works as a director, but it's an excellent film nonetheless. It's one of the best biopics I've ever seen. The subject is Frank "Spig" Wead, a Navy man through and through who, despite all his success in the service, was never able to make much of a connection with his wife and daughters. It was a very personal story for John Ford, who was a good friend of Wead's. Wead was the screenwriter on Ford's excellent They Were Expendable (and also Air Mail, which I haven't seen). The film concentrates on the man and his relationships. John Wayne gives a downright excellent performance as Wead. Maureen O'Hara is back as his love interest, and their interactions here are marvelous. Also giving excellent performances are Ken Curtis (maybe his best role in a Ford film), Dan Dailey, and Ward Bond as the first movie producer who hires Wead. Bond's performance is in loving imitation of John Ford. The Wings of Eagles is a very touching tribute to a friend. The only problem is that it is such a personal story to Ford that the most interesting part, the relationship with the wife and kids, is not treated fully in order to make Wead look better than he probably did in real life. 8/10.
I have two fav John Wayne movies and this is one of them. The other is
Today is the first time I've seen "Wings of Eagles, The" for years and years. Probably because it's always been such an emotional movie for me. I always cry at the ending...most likely because the very thing Spig Wead wanted seemed to elude him. Perhaps because his desire was never really clearly defined, even to him.
As I sat watching it, I got the bright idea of looking it up in the "IMDB" movie database. I was curious about the writing that Wead did and also the timeline. I came across a couple of reviews and decided to add my two sense (sic) worth.
I realized today that the things I like about the movie were partially the things that one of the other reviewers didn't. I LIKE the way Wead's story is presented. It isn't neat and orderly. No cheating endings or story movement. It seems like he was very self-involved and dealt better with other men than with his wife. I suspect that both Spig and Min were trapped by their societal roles in a way that many others were at that time. They did't have that same open way of spilling their guts that we've all embraced in today's world.
Men were men and women...weren't! LOL!
Anyway, I was always crazy about John Wayne and had such a crush on him whenever he'd appear in Navy whites. Something about that craggy face and those blue eyes grabbed me every time. Plus, I share his birthday so that made him extra kewl in my eyes.
Ford was wise NOT to turn this into a typical John "Hero" Wayne vehicle. That was probably why they worked so well together in all of those films. He was no more snowed by Wayne's larger than life personna than Wayne was of Ford's. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when those two were goin' at it.
Although Wayne was fiftyish when he did this film, I think he displayed a good youthful Wead as well as the somewhat more mature one. A better, more subtle acting job than the other reviewer gave him credit for doing.
Time for Spig to bite it so I'm off now...
"The Wings of Eagles" starred John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara and was directed
by John Ford. While not a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination,
the film nevertheless has some great touches that would make a viewer wish
to see the film again. Wayne played Lt. Commander Frank "Spig" Wead, the
man credited with getting the Navy an air wing to support its military
ships, and Maureen O'Hara plays the wife that has to contend with Spig's
love of country first and family second. Dan Dailey has a good role as
Wead's best friend in the military, while other members of the John Ford
company of players contribute their talents to the film. Ken Curtis shows
up a good bit, and Ward Bond has a role as a film director that smacked of a
caricature of John Ford. Bond plays this to the hilt, and seemed to enjoy
the chance to show Ford how he came off, at times.
The scenes that were very watchable could include several fight scenes between members of the Army Air Corps and their Naval counterparts, plus a very heart rending view of Wayne's efforts to rehabilitate himself, following a fall down a flight of stairs at his house. Good, but not great, an 8/10.
Despite the title and the time frame (and the misunderstanding of the movie by other reviewers), this is not a typical war movie. This movie is really a biography and personal study of the obsessiveness and dedication that is necessary in the technological nature of warfare today. In one respect it is too bad that the movie stars John Wayne because the expectation is that it would feature a "gung ho" performance. Instead it is an amazing acting effort by Wayne as a suffering, crippled, insensitive Navy officer and author whose vision and commitment made much of the Naval air force possible. It is an excellent performance by Wayne and almost more of a "stretch" for him than Dustin Hoffman portraying an autistic "Rainman."
The iconic director and his usual cast of players take on Naval Aviation in this look at a man who helped to advance navy aviation as John Wayne again looms on the screen bigger than life in the role of Frank "Spig" Wead, a pioneer of the navy air corps. Based on the autobiography of Wead the usual themes of adventure, patriotism and romance abound with stellar supporting roles with veteran actors like Ken Curtis, Dan Daily, and Ward Bond as a thinly veiled portrait of director Ford himself. Set against the background of World War II the film is about courage and commitment in a big way, and there really is not another actor who could have brought it to the screen with the believability that the "Duke" manages so easily. One of his finer roles.
I just caught this on TCM. It's a stretch in acting for Wayne, I think.
He rarely did characters with flaws, either physical or mental.But he
does a great job.
Did anyone catch a wonderful comment made by Wayne while he and the naval staff were watching films of the carriers being bombed? Wayne is commenting that the solution to the Navy's problem is obvious, but it is eluding him. There is some banter about how to get your thinking going when it's at a standstill. That is, how to get into action when things seem unworkable. Wayne comments, "In Hollywood we'd stop and look around and here's the 7th cavalry coming." All things considered, I thought it a great comment!
Wonderfully shot Ford film with a lively look at the spirit of Navy ,
including glorification of military life , familiar drama , love and
sentimental nostalgia with interesting character studio of a varied
assortment of individuals . It's a first-rate war melodrama , including
comedy , and masterfully directed by the great John Ford . It's based
on the life of one of America's greatest air heroes , Frank ¨Spig¨Wead
, an Air hero who wrote plays about the war . He starred some rousing
exploits in the ¨Schneider Cup Air Races¨. But he suffers a home
accident and is interned in ¨San Diego National Hospital¨, and despite
being crippled and wheel-bound he subsequently made a substantial
contribution to America's war effort in the Pacific during WWII. He was
a famous aviation pioneer become Hollywood screenwriter and one of them
was ¨They were expendable (1945) ¨ directed by the same Ford and also
with Wayne in the main role . This is a great and stolid drama, a John
Ford's lusty realization and marvelously constructed.
This classic picture ranks as one of the best of John Ford's work. It contains Ford's usual themes as familiar feeling , a little bit enjoyable humor, friendship and and sense of comradeship among people . Multiple highlights as the fights between Air and Army soldiers and of course the sensible final farewell on the carrier . Interesting screenplay portraying in depth characters and brooding events with interesting issues running beneath script surface is written by Frank Fenton, John Ford's habitual, and based on the life and writings of Commander Frank W. 'Spig' Wead .
This excellent film featuring a magnificent performance by whole casting . Awesome John Wayne in a larger-than-life character . Enticing and intimate Maureen O'Hara in a sensible role with sensational acting . Excellent co-starring cast as War Bond as John Ford-alter ego, including pipe-smoking and hat . In the film appears , as usual , Ford's favourite actors as Ken Curtis , Mae Marsh , Kenneth Tobey, Willis Bouchey, Jack Pennick , some of them are uncredited . Good cinematography by Paul Voguel and jingoist musical score by Jeff Alexander. Rating : Better than average . Worthwhile watching .
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
John Ford remarked that Wings of Eagles was the last really good film
he directed and though I disagree with that, Wings of Eagles does rank
as one of his and John Wayne's best films.
It's a loving tribute to a great American hero and friend of theirs, Frank W. "Spig" Wead. Wead was an early Navy flier who sustained a broken back during a fall down a flight of stairs in his home. Washed out of the Navy, Wead turned to writing and became a noted screenwriter on mostly military subjects. For John Ford he did the screenplays for his films Airmail and They Were Expendable.
After Pearl Harbor Wead applied for and got active duty though he was desk bound at first. And eventually he did get to the Pacific Theater and served on one of the carriers he fought so valiantly for in and out of uniform.
Wayne gives one of his best screen performances and he's equally matched by Maureen O'Hara as his wife and Dan Dailey as his good friend who sees him through the paralysis and eventual recovery.
There's no happy ending here for the Duke and Maureen, unlike Rio Grande and The Quiet Man. Spig is a flawed human being, as dedicated to partying and carousing as he is to the Navy and Naval Aviation. The carousing gives John Ford an opportunity to do some of the rough house comedy his films are known for. As for Maureen who has to deal with the death of one child and the raising of two daughters, it does become too much for her. O'Hara is not given enough credit for her performance in Wings of Eagles. She calls him, "Star Spangled Spig" but from a term of derision it becomes one of admiration.
Wings of Eagles proved to be the last film for character actor Henry O'Neill who plays one of Wead's Navy doctors. And it is the last film that Ward Bond did for John Ford and the last film the trio of Ford, Wayne and Bond worked together on. They did an episode on Bond's Wagon Train series which he was starting right after the shooting of Wings of Eagles. The episode aired right after Bond died in 1960.
And wouldn't you know it. Bond's role was as director John Dodge which in fact was John Ford. Rather unique in the annals of Hollywood that a noted director had a broad characterization of himself in his own film. Was this how John Ford saw himself?
As long as America produces men and women like Spig Wead this country will endure. And hopefully films about them will be made to record their deeds and courage.

Question related to Alerts, this is something l believe not been properly addressed by Spiceworks, lovely software dont get me wrong, but l believe the whole point of alert is to inform something is seriously critical on the network which needs attention. i'm referring to disk space if its <5% no alert is triggered (this is critical to any organisation) as this can sometime cripple application.
I'm not looking for a third party software, if spicework offers monitor and alert then it should work like it said. I do get an alert when the device goes offline etc, but what about other features, why is that seem to be an issue?
My manager is insisting the software doesn't offer the solution, as alert is a fundamental importance to an organisation.
Can you please inform what feature of alert will work and what won't so that we can decide on how we proceed with the use of spiceworks? any plane to improve this feature? what can l try to test, if you're assuming its not setup correctly?
This topic was created during version 5.3.

Did you modify the default alert or created a new one.
Modifying the default one is known to have issues. Try creating a new one.
Mar 25, 2012 at 7:11 UTC
i have created a new alert, to alert for <5%, <10% where most disk is showing less space, l'm still not getting any new alerts.
Are you getting alerts where disk space is concerned?
Mar 26, 2012 at 2:59 UTC
Keep IT Simple Technology Group is an IT service provider.
Screen shot the alert settings please.
Mar 26, 2012 at 5:39 UTC
see the attached, three images from top, what is selected to be monitored, second the configuration, and third the dashboard showing some of the disk space remaining, as you can see l have selected <10% & <5% where the disk space are 1%, 6% getting no alert no what so ever.
These alerts been re-created.
Mar 26, 2012 at 5:48 UTC

Can you confirm that the computers q servers are in the VM group?
If you change the alert from VM to computers / servers does it work?
Mar 26, 2012 at 5:55 UTC
The computer VM's are in fact placed in group called VM, and vm in question is not outside of this group.
Mar 26, 2012 at 6:13 UTC
please can you indicate if you're getting alert related to disk space? what setting have you got? provided the group the VM or server are placed under is selected, same to what l have.
this is also the same for printer ink, again no alerts is showing. si this a systemic issue?
Mar 26, 2012 at 4:19 UTC

Getting both alert types. No problem.
Can you change your alert settings from VM to computers / servers?
I thing this has something to do with group membership.
Mar 28, 2012 at 6:13 UTC
Changed the alert setting from VM to Server, however the vm in questions (with low disk) is not under the server group. Not had any alerts after the change.
Mar 28, 2012 at 1:26 UTC
Any update?

Ok, but which of these setting do you want me to try?
i have added the vm in question as a member of Servers group, recreated the alert, still no emails.

- Feel fre to use any of the music I posted for the Pennsic Choir, and enjoy! It's all copyright free, either from the Choral Public Domain Library or else transcribed directly by me.My barony choir has been doing O Bene Mio for years. We've always thought the chorus was odd, too, but I've heard that "eggs" in Italian is a euphemism sort of like. er... "nuts" or "balls" in English, and thus it's a double-entendre.... :-)

Supposed to be a plausible explanation of her being in the house secretly at 2am?! It should have been part of the scenario for the Commedia del Arte show at the event! It's a pretty song, too.But speaking of what our local groups are singing, I wondered, if we wanted to try anything that the Pennsic Choir just did, is it ok to just print out copies of the sheet music files you put up for the Choir or xerox my paper copies and start rehearsing, or are there copyright issues or performance restriction issues that you had to clear for the Choir to do them, or any SCA protocols about so taking advantage of a Choir director's work beyond saying Hi, I hope you're pleased that we like your choices? And whether any such issues vary, e.g. whether I'd need to check with each prior director if I wanted to use anything still up or that I still had paper copies of from earlier Pennsics?Alison Winter

text: Summer memories are often a jumping-off point for back-to-school activities. As a teacher, my heart skips a beat for great books about summer, like The Raft by Jim LaMarche and The Summer My Father Was Ten by Pat Brisson. Books like these delight my students and invite them to share their own experiences. Their enthusiasm is contagious and I love it. But making summer memories isn't just fun. It's also a cornerstone of how kids learn to read. Good readers use their prior knowledge. Literacy—in reading, writing, speaking and listening—is supported by what your child already knows. Teachers call this prior knowledge. To quote master teacher Debbie Miller: "[Prior knowledge] is all the stuff that's already inside your head, like places you've been, things you've done, books you've read—all the experiences you've had that make up who you are and what you know and believe to be true." Solid research tells us that how well a child reads is strengthened by all the background knowledge he has about the world. So when students can connect new ideas and new information in personal ways, the power of literacy is unleashed. For example, if your child's ever played on a baseball team or spent a Sunday afternoon watching a doubleheader with Grandpa, he's more likely to engage with novels like Skinnybones by Barbara Park and In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord. If he's had his fair share of childhood trials and tribulations, picture books like Judith Viorst's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Ira Sleeps Over by Bernard Waber can help him to see old things in new and amusing ways—and also learn that he's not alone. Does your child love to garden or dig for worms? Nonfiction books like A Handful of Dirt by Raymond Bial can give him a darned good excuse to get his hands even dirtier! Tapping into prior knowledge does more than boost your child's reading comprehension and his ability to retain new information. Prior knowledge also builds confidence. And you won't be surprised when I tell you what happens next: Motivation and participation improve. You can help your child build knowledge. I give parents lots of tips for helping their children become better readers. High up on the list is providing your child with a wide variety of experiences outside of school. Experiences build your child's prior knowledge. That, in turn, supports his literacy. It's not hard to find rich experiences. And you don't have to be rich! Here are just a few ideas: Grow a small garden or hike a nearby trail. Take a trip to the city on a beautiful day. Make paper airplanes and fly them. Volunteer as a family by serving those in need. Check out an arts program for your child. Every time your child experiences more of the world, he gets a leg up on reading. It's the prior knowledge your child gets that supports him on his path to literacy.

Avril Sun & Anita Berlusconi – They Take His Sauce!
Released: February 8, 2013
Women have been taught since time immemorial that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and to effect this, it is important for young ladies to be masterful in the kitchen. But the newer generation of female, as exemplified by Avril Sun (in the purple striped top) and Anita Berlusconi, clearly know that serving up a good piece of poultry is not enough, especially with a man like Rico Simons, whose massive endowment of penis has a reputation that puts all women in fierce competition for his attentions.

LILBURN, Ga. (AP) — The South's iconic groundhog, Gen. Beauregard Lee, waddled out of his "Weathering Heights" mansion Thursday and failed to see his shadow on the Georgia red dirt.
The development bodes well for warm weather: No shadow means an early spring, hundreds of spectators were told as the prediction was made around 7:30 a.m. outside Atlanta.
The groundhog emerged to make the prediction moments after a crowd cheered, "Go Beau, Go Beau, Go Beau!"
Beau's caretakers at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn say he has a 94 percent accuracy rating, giving him a better record than Punxsutawney Phil, his famous Pennsylvania counterpart.

The ranch says that every year on Feb. 2, the Georgia groundhog wakes up to the ringing of an antique bell to forecast the spring weather.
Beau is about 17, meaning he has far outlived the general life expectance of a groundhog in the wild, which is about six or seven years, said Yellow River's Codi Reeves. The ranch is hoping to retire Beau and to name a successor before next year, Reeves said.

This review was conducted by the Fanon Review Squad and reflects our best judgment of writing and fanon authorship quality. Please don't take offense if the review wasn't positive. We always give advice!
Hey fanon portal, Minnichi types this review before a temporary self-banishment from the wiki. Even though it's like 2 days haha, I guess I'll still have to point out that I'm seriously disappearing from the face of the earth during that time. This upcoming exam. Can't. Be. Ruined. o_o But for now, I'm offering my commentary on Champions of Old Ba Sing Se by Allhailhades, a post-LoK story that gives a very interesting twist on just about everything in general.
Republic City. Almost 400 years ago the Avatar at the time was battling a tyrant, and went into the avatar state, he then somewhat lost control and destroyed the city by causing an earthquake. The avatar at the time, and natural airbender, died and killed many citizens of the city. This angered some nomads because many of them blamed the tyrant, an earth kingdom ruler, for causing the destruction by triggering the avatar state. The nomads split into 2 groups, the traditional nomads who hide out in the air temples and the Ming-Hua nomads who seek revenge and plan to stop the avatar cycle because they believe it is to powerful and dangerous. For nearly 400 years no one has seen the avatar, many believe the cycle was broken.
I am captured by the Ming-Hua nomads and I meet the new avatar, an Earthbender named Lin. She has already mastered Earth and Fire, so we must escape and find her an Airbending and a Waterbending teacher. But we find out that the Ming-Hua nomads have a plan to destroy the Avatar cycle and make the other nations experience the loss that they did. Together, Lin and I must form a Team Avatar to stop the Ming-Hua nomads, but things aren't always what they seem. A lost hero, a secret society and an unlikely alliance.
My name is Kaine, and this is my story.
The first-person narrative of this fanon makes it very engaging and just an exciting read overall. Ideas that I've never seen before are overflowing all over the place, and I'm sure any reader would want to know what I'm talking about. Now onto the review~
The Scores
- Plot - 9.0: Overall I think it's a very good plot, though I feel like the antagonists could be a little more well-rounded. I'm referring to their system here more than their character, which'll be discussed in the later section. The plot would feel more complete if you were to elaborate on how the antagonists developed the whole prisoner system or how they were able to advance that much while technically being in secret for a long time. They have a pretty legit and organized system and I'd just like to hear more background details. But yep...I like the plot.
- Organization - 8.7: Pretty good in this area as well. The only gripe I might have is how quickly the scenes change. They don't come out of nowhere, but things just jump to the next when I feel like there could be more elaboration inbetween for a smoother transition, especially when it comes to things like the characters moving from a dark prison cell to the ocean where they escape on boats. It's stated clearly but it feels a little rushed at the moment. This honestly doesn't stick out too much, though.
- Creativity – 9.4: A strong point in this fanon. The creation of the Ming-Hua nomads was pretty darn unique in my opinion. The main cast seems pretty diverse as well. Only thing is I would say the background stories of the characters are a tad stereotypical; not everyone has to have a tragedy, if you ask me. Also be careful not to let the character interactions start to become cliche. I'm just saying all of this based on some warning signs I saw, but most haven't really established themselves as true flaws yet.
- Writing – 8.4 (x3): The grammar does make things flow a little less smoothly due to some awkward uses of commas and an occasional shift in tense. But the overall writing had a nice quality to it that I liked, and the author really put effort into his descriptions. Like I said earlier, more attention could go to those little things between scene shifts that end up not being so little. The picture becomes a bit unclear for readers when things begin to be listed more than they're described; there's a lot of "we went here, and then went there" situations where things grow vague. A little more "show" in this case would do the trick, which would eliminate the need for the narrator to actually tell us where things are happening. The pattern in the writing that I'm talking about just makes it sound more informational than it needs to be, but the descriptions that it does have are good quality. Other than that, I would say to balance the descriptions of characters with everything else - and I mean in the sense of making physical description flow more naturally. I appreciate that there's great physical detail on the characters, of course, but sometimes I feel like it happens during the wrong moment. Perhaps make it flow better with what's going on around them, but it's really a small complaint. Keep writing!
- Character Development - 8.7 (x2) What I love most is that each of the characters have their own established personality along with a nice, vivid image for me to picture. Many of them are well-balanced as well. However, I would make sure the protagonist and his love interest also share this well-balanced quality that the others have. I've yet to see a flaw in Kaine, and he's starting to take on an unrealistically perfect character. This applies especially to the way in which he leads others, and how his words seem to work every time, not to mention he's wildly talented at earthbending. Speaking of which, I would like to hear some more background details of the characters' lives and their bending origins. But returning to the love interest issue, I also think that relationships progress a little too quickly. There's lots of details on inner feelings, but it hasn't quite elaborated on the "why" yet. Not enough, I mean - it does explain a lot already. But I'd just like to hear more about how they feel about the relationship, how Kaine seemed to get his girl without any trouble, or how they decided to go from friendship to official romantic relationship in the first place.
- Action - 8.5: I'll say it...for however many times I have to say it... My deduction on action will always strike when I see "he (insert element)bended." In this author's action scenes, it happens maybe 2/3 of the time, and I really love the moments where he goes through with the literal description instead. And I love those moments because, since I'm not just told that someone happened to, say, "earthbend," I actually know what's going on and how to picture the fight. When I'm told that someone earthbends something during a fight, I don't know anything other than they happened to use earth...and that their opponent suffered whatever blow they did because they happened to use earth. Visuals are honestly gone when "(insert element)bended" is there. So Minnichi's number one deduction strikes again! But on another note, I would also go more in depth on the usage of weapons. The physical movements involved when using them would also enhance the clarity of the picture for readers. Everything aside, though, the action did a lot of good for the story and had enough quality to keep things exciting. Nicely done!
- Believability – 8.5: The lack of elaboration mentioned earlier with the antagonists makes their sheer amount of power a tad bit unrealistic. Just go more in depth with them and let us see why they could become what they did and that pretty much solves it. Other thing is the characters' awesome bending abilities. If we were to hear more about their background story, such as the details of their training, they would appear less as unaturally talented people and more like just a group of young, hard workers (which I think the author was striving for). Aside from that, be careful of out-of-place words in the story (although I did love the statement referring to The Last Airbender movie). Certain curse words, especially "hell," should be carefully considered as to where they stand in the Avatarverse and if they have a true meaning in the religious aspect. But it's all buyable overall.
Overall Score: 8.67
EDIT: After looking back, it looks like the author has completely gotten rid of his chapters for a rewrite! With that in mind, I think it's best that I advise readers not to take these scores to heart, as it seems there's a massive revision underway. What glorious things does the author have up his sleeve? More epic fights? The Dai Li? ;) (Hey, the story does have Ba Sing Se in its title ya know...) Either way, I suspect another review in the future. Look forward to it!
My advice for Allhailhades: Give some more detail to your antagonists, more depth to romantic relationships, and always show, not tell. Anddd I think you're all set. Nicely written fanon you've got there!
Who should read Champions of Old Ba Sing Se? Action fans will surely be pleased with this tale, as well as people who are avoiding slow and cliche fanons. It was a very interesting read for me, and I'm sure it'll be the same for others.

Mobile VAS Solutions
The mobile business today faces many challenges:
- Mobile device manufacturers and O/S providers have seized the stage. The smartphone revolution has turned these companies into the most visible and innovative players of the mobile industry, downgrading the value that end users attach to their traditional mobile carriers.
- Industry cards are being reshuffled. The emergence of apps as the new mobile services consumption paradigm completely alters relationships with mobile users, changes business models, and increases the pressure for network optimization and higher bandwidth.
- Software defines new rules for innovation. Over-the-Top (OTT) and Internet companies have redefined the rules of innovation with a shortened TTM, a new approach to the end user, increased risk taking, and accelerated processes, thus forcing mobile providers to adapt their more traditional approaches.
To face these challenges, limit churn, preserve margins, and maintain brand equity, StreamWIDE believes mobile carriers must capitalize on their core assets, introduce more innovative solutions better and faster, adjust their legacy business models, and achieve more convergence in their services.

I'm fairly new to this part of MA. I would love to find a genuine woman who wants to be off line with a genuine guy. I have varied tastes in music, movies, books, activities, etc. It is about the person I am with, or my current mood, etc. If I can change the way I look at things the things I look at can change. My point is that it is who you are and yes, your eyes and smile - you look at the photos first, too :). If either of us is misleading about things it will come out and then there's no recovery. But, I try to look at this as "if we just met in public (the dreaded real world), might we hit it off?" If so then I generally don't get too concerned with "how we match" and say hello and when I do so it is with the respect you (everyone) deserves. If we match, and feel we have met the person we expected, then it should flow and we'll figure it out.
So, I try to have high hopes without expectations - But what if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about? :)
Oh yeah - Yes, I smoke but only when alone (or with other smokers) and never in my house (or any house).

The Autobianchi Cabriolet was the vehicle driven by Inspector Clouseau in the original Pink Panther movie. (photo courtesy of Driving)
The Fiat 500, the Cinquecento small and practical car designed by Dante Giacosa, was produced by the Italian carmaker Fiat from 1957 to 1975. (photo courtesy of Gabriel Bouys, AFP / Getty)
Coach-built cars on Fiat mechanicals became very popular in postwar era, laying groundwork for a merger
The Autobianchi: a custom-body Fiat with snob appeal.
That just about describes this rather odd creation named for Edoardo Bianchi, who began his manufacturing career in 1885 building bicycles.
Bianchi moved into automobiles by 1899 and his company manufactured a number of different models over the course of the next 83 years.
Like most wartime manufacturers, his company's focus was on motorcycles and commercial vehicles, including vans powered by Mercedes-Benz engines. And Bianchi racing motorcycles were very well-known and won many victories.
The company patriarch died in 1946 in a car accident, and the ownership of the company passed to his son Giuseppe. In 1957, the company returned to automobile manufacturing and introduced a small car based on the Fiat Nuova 500, which had been introduced in 1955.
The Fiat 500 was a huge postwar success in Italy and was the successor to the Fiat Topolino, regarded by many as the Italian Model T.
The Topolino, just like the Model T, gave the lower middle class the opportunity to become motorized and mobile.
By the mid-'60s, Fiat had sold 250,000 Fiat 500s.
The Fiat 500 was the base vehicle for a number of Italian carrozzerie (coach builders), enabling them to offer cars that looked different, such as faux sports cars that included some deluxe features.
These coach-built cars became very popular and Fiat did not want to be left out of the lucrative sales opportunity so they formed a partnership with Bianchi and Pirelli in 1955. The cars would be known as 'Autobianchi' and were sold through selected Fiat dealerships and with Fiat's factory warranty.
The first Autobianchi was called the Bianchina, a model that sold at a 20 per cent premium above the cost of a Fiat 500.
In 1968, Fiat decided to buy out the two partners and merged Autobianchi into the Fiat Company.
The model shown in the picture is an Autobianchi Cabriolet, famously driven by the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (played by actor Peter Sellers) in the original Pink Panther movie.

We see a lot of cars at RK Motors Charlotte. So many, in fact, that it takes something special to impress us. Every once in a while, a car comes through the doors that simply blows everyone away. This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster is one of those cars. This incredible Corvette, built at a cost of more than $200,000, combines modern technology and performance into one of the most timeless body styles ever conceived. And unlike so many "resto-mod" projects, this one treats the original Corvette with respect, giving it Corvette power, Corvette suspension, and a set of great looking rims that would be right at home on any classic Corvette. Gorgeous to look at and thrilling to drive, this roadster will be the star of any show it attends.
It took three years to turn this 1958 Corvette into a curve carving resto-modded street machine. During that process, the car was unbolted from its frame and sodium blasted to remove all factory defects and accrued damage from roughly 50 years of exposure to the elements. Once the body was silky smooth and had a better than factory appearance, it was re gel coated and bolted to a brand new custom fabricated round tube frame. Now free to shoot for perfection; the body shop applied a custom Spectrum Color developed turquoise from jam to jam and then added traditional white door coves which resulted in a car that amazes people wherever it goes. The custom turquoise is just dark enough to show off the shape of the car while honoring its classic 50s good looks. Panel gaps are exceptionally tight and the panels are like looking into a mirror thanks to the new, more rigid chassis underneath. The results of this intensive restoration speak for themselves. With outstanding body detailing and incredible finish, this Corvette is absolutely gorgeous in person and seems to always draw your eye even when its 20 cars deep in the car guy heaven that is our RK Motors Charlotte showroom.
Most of the 'mod' in this resto-modded Corvette applies to its custom frame and modern powertrain. There are no modifications to the original body of this car most likely because it's almost impossible to make a first generation Corvette more visually appealing than it already is. For the '58 design, excellent details abound; up front the aggressively styed and beautifully detailed chrome grille, bumpers and bumper bracket have all been restored to very high standards. Four perfect headlights surrounded in new chrome serve as visual pillars of the front end design while a multi-dimensional, reproduction three piece Corvette emblem features correct gold lettering. The hood of the car features exclusive to 1958 hood louvers and mirror like chrome trim runs the length of the front fenders to the new curved windshield. At the side of the car, the chrome around the white door coves has been restored to a show winning shine and is accentuated by Corvette cross flag emblems that look like they're fresh from the factory mold. Custom built 18 inch Intro wheels riding 245/45/18 low profile Dunlop radials complement the stainless trim and tie into the louvered hood. And stellar looking trim around the curved windshield and cockpit complements new stainless windshield wipers, chrome door handles and rearview mirrors on the driver's side door and dash. A custom color matched turquoise vinyl top with a glass window flows into a trunk that features 1958 specific chrome spears. Show quality rear bumpers feature factory correct exhaust tips and align with the trunk spears to highlight a second multi-dimensional gold lettered Corvette emblem at the rear of the car. New brake lights with chrome trim mounted on the ridge of the rear fenders duplicate the dual pillar look of the front of the car.
Although the subtly updated exterior would look just as natural in 1958 as it does now, under the hood this car begins to get a little more radical. A perfect fit in this early Corvettes engine bay, a modern Corvette LT1 Generation II 350 features a cast iron block, aluminum heads and electronic fuel injection for a solid 420 horsepower. The color matched plastic LT1 engine cover looks right at home featuring fourth generation Corvette logos and chrome Corvette lettering. Accessories in the clean engine bay include a Be Cool aluminum radiator complete with an electric cooling fan, a new black brake booster and master cylinder, a color coordinated alternator and AC compressor, new belts and hoses, a billet overflow tank, a chrome hood hinge and billet valve covers with a billet oil cap. The LT1 engine seems like a natural modernization of this classic Corvette. It starts instantly and idles perfectly, no matter what the temperature is, it gives this classic car the ability to cruise with great fuel economy and it has parts availability at any auto parts store in the country. Best of all, it gives the car the ability to be serviced with ease at your local GM dealer if you're in a pinch.
Put the car up on a lift and you'll realize that its traditional body and modern engine sit on a radical new frame and suspension. The car is spotless underneath where the Spectrum turquoise body meets a custom fabricated, gloss black SR3 Motorsports frame and is highlighted by silver suspension and axle pieces with stainless hardware. This frame was specifically designed to allow late-model running gear under vintage Corvettes and is reinforced to be vastly stiffer than the original Corvette X-frame. In the middle of those new round bones sits an aesthetically pleasing chrome oil pan and modern 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission that is cooled by a passenger floor mounted transmission cooler. Combined with the powerful LT1 350, this transmission makes highway cruising a relaxed affair while still being able to deliver amazing acceleration. At the front corners of the car, independent suspension with upper and lower control arms combines with a set of coil over shocks and a modern power steering system to make curves a lot more fun. Out back, the independent suspension with upper and lower control arms combines with coil over shocks and VBP suspension components to keep everything buttoned down and perfectly in line. True dual exhaust with aluminum tubing runs to stainless Aero Exhaust mufflers which flow into correct bumper housed stainless tips. Stopping is handled by four wheel power disc brakes with drilled and cross vented rotors that are clamped by new calipers fed by braided metal brake lines. Everything is superbly fabricated and beautifully finished, showing virtually no use since it was complete. All the hardware is new and this '58 Corvette is guaranteed to drive as well great as it looks.
The leather interior is so sumptuous it's hard to resist jumping in and taking this car for a spin. Like the rest of the car, it is a beautiful tribute to the original design with some thoughtful modern upgrades. And yes, it's leather, not vinyl. The original seats have fresh foam and new covers that have been custom color matched and embroidered by Kirik. The white dash features color matched inserts and appears as if it lays on the turquoise body with traditional '58 Corvette gauges behind the steering wheel and controls for the heat and Vintage Air system incorporated into the center stack. A smaller diameter aluminum Grant steering wheel is wrapped with a color matched turquoise rim and along with the Lokar transmission shifter, is the only blatantly aftermarket piece in the whole interior. The door panels are absolutely amazing pieces of period styling that feature power windows and original style door handles. The carpets are the correct texture and nap, and are a little darker than the body of the car in order to highlight the seats and dash. The trunk is just as well finished as the rest of the car carrying the tri tone appearance of the interior and matching new carpet, white leather and turquoise paint.
This amazing Corvette comes with a display board that lists all of its modifications during the 3 year restoration.
If you are ready to fall in love with a car that combines the best elements from the past and the present, this is your car. Beautifully built and incredibly functional, this Corvette roadster preserves the timeless design elements of the 1958 Corvette while providing a driving experience that allows you to enjoy a vintage Corvette on modern roads with no compromises. After the lucky new owner snatches this one up, we will be fielding calls for months asking when we will get another. The answer will be: "Not any time soon". This is a special car-don't wait.

SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Diego Padres have selected left-hander Alex Hinshaw from Triple-A Tucson and optioned outfielder Blake Tekotte to the same club.
They also transferred right-hander Micah Owings from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
Hinshaw had a 3.72 ERA in 14 relief outings for Tucson.
Tekotte, was recalled from Tucson on April 28 for his first stint with the Padres this year, going 0 for 3 with a stolen base in five games.
Owings was placed on the disabled list on April 26 with a strained right forearm. He has a 2.79 ERA in six relief appearances.

"In the end...please...trust me."
Yukio Terada was the Fifth of Tojo Clan.He was a member of Omi Alliance. He was one of survivors of Jingweon mafia to crush Tojo Clan in his plan.Yukio Terada was later killed by one of Omi traitor and his dying words was in the end...please...trust me
History Edit
Yakuza Edit
While a member of the Omi Alliance, Terada become very close to Shintaro Kazama in the Tojo Clan, and worked with him closely behind the scenes during the events of the first game.
While he attempted to assist Kazuma against Jingu, he was betrayed by members of his own alliance who had secretly aligned with Jingu in order to take down the Tojo Clan. Following Jingu's defeat, Kazuma retired and appointed Terada as the new chairman of the Tojo Clan.
Yakuza 2 Edit
A year after the events of the first game, the Omi Alliance and the Tojo Clan were heading towards war because of Terada having left the former, and he was strongly attempting to help broker a peace. While visiting Kazuma to seek out his advice, Terada was shot and killed by members of the Omi Alliance, ending his short tenure as head of the Tojo Clan.
In truth, Terada was actually a Korean named Daejin Kim, one of the survivors of the Jingweon Mafia who had been massacred by the Tojo Clan's Dojima family 26 years previously. Terada faked his own death in order to manipulate Kazuma into trying to broker peace with the Omi, knowing that this would lead Goda Ryuji to try and take over the Tojo Clan in response. Along with Takeshima of the Omi Family, they conspired to wipe out the Tojo Clan, which would allow the Jingweon to take revenge for their massacre 26 years previously. After revealing himself and being defeated by Kazuma, Terada was betrayed by Omi. With his dying words, he asked Kazuma to trust him. Kazuma chose to believe that this meant that his feelings towards Shintaro Kazama had been genuine.

Comments about Womens Glamorise No-Bounce Cami D/DD/F/G Sports Bras:
I wasn't expecting much of this bra for the price. I was so surprised. It fits perfectly (I got a 38 G) and I do not bounce when I am walking fast. I have not tried jogging or running in it, but it is the least bounce I have gotten of any of the larger bras so far. It is so comfortable, and is higher in the front than others, and very stylish. I am going to get another one. For the price, this is a very nice bra for bigger busted women. Also it goes nicely under clothes for everyday wear.

%X Recent research has shown that negative-barrier metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) contacts can exhibit the same minority-carrier reflecting properties as diffused back-surface field regions. The authors describe the use of negative-barrier platinum-MIS contacts to form the first induced back-surface field solar cells on p-type silicon substrates. Pt-SiOx-pSi back contacts have been applied both to cells with diffused front junctions and to cells with minority-carrier injecting MIS front junctions. In both cases an enhancement in open-circuit voltage comparable to that obtained with diffused back-surface fields has been observed. The negative-barrier MIS contact has also been found to increase the infrared photocurrent

I feel like I've landed on a strange planet when I talk to Dell about booting from SAN. During the sales period I told them I was going to boot from SAN. I was sent a document that showed how to do it in Windows 2003. I asked for an updated one and they could not produce it.
I purchased my 2 R810 servers, an Equalogic PS6000XV SAN, and 4 Qlogic HBA cards.
I started to set it up and realized that I had purchased a Design and remote implementation service. So I thought I'd let the experts help me since I've never done it before.
The Design guy asked me why I wanted to boot from SAN. The implementation team called and told me no one on their team has ever setup a boot from SAN, that I would have to get that part figured out.
I did. I had 4 HBA ports connect to my boot volume which I called saihost1 and 4 HBA ports connected to my other boot volume which I called saihost2. I had everything running, did some live migration. but noticed that my disk were getting really slow. Also, I noticed that I had multiple port connection to the boot volume. More than the 4 that should be connected.
While working with the Dell implementation team I had a support call in with Qlogic. Qlogic told me that my ISCSI cards were EMC cards, not Equalogic. They said they should work, but I would have to get with the manufacture. I called Equalogic and they too said they don't know about booting from SAN. The person I talked to had no experience booting from SAN. He did tell me I was given the wrong cards.
I had a conversation with a tech at qlogic and the tech told me he didn't know if only one port should show up as connected or multiple. He wasn't familiar with boot from SAN.
Is there anyone else out there booting from SAN? Especially, from an Equallogic SAN?
I have a few questions if you're up for it.

Have you scoured this documentation?
Also, anything additional on Multipath for answers about your ports?
If you ordered Qlogic adapters and they gave you EMC adapters, then it seems you have an issue with your storage provider. EMC has VERY strict rules on microcode levels and their support.
Also (very minor) it is EqualLogic, not Equalogic.
Dec 9, 2010 at 11:31 UTC
Bump for rogrham's guide and warnings about EMC cards. If your willing to give VMware ESXi a try though there is a cheap workaround to having to boot from local disk.
Is there a particular reason your installing windows directly on the servers themselves?
May I suggest installing a bare-metal hypervisor then booting windows 2003 virtual machine from the SAN? ESXi will install on a USB drive that will fit easily inside your server. (see page 20 for where to put it).
I don't know anyone who boots from SAN anymore. If your wanting to avoid dealing with local drives as a point of failure, the embedded hypervisor is really the way to go. (I know your a dell shop, but HP makes a nice SLC one thats reliable, and a lot cheaper than a raid mirror to boot from.) On the cheaper side Corsair ones have never given me a problem.
Sorry about your problems with Dell, they are new to the service game so I'd advise you to speak loudly, and slowly.
Dec 10, 2010 at 8:05 UTC
Dell has acknowledge their mistake and are going to send me the correct HBA cards. I'm booting from SAN so that I can have the OS on the SAN for snapshots, and so if the server crashes I just plug another in it place and point the HBA cards to the volume and I'm up. I don't have to reinstall, restore from tape or mess with the server. My server are basically acting as blades.
Equipment has already been purchase. So your solutions won't work this time. We are using Hyper-V for our hypervisor.

The American bison is the largest land animal in North America. Males can stand six feet from hoof to shoulder and weigh between 1000-2000 pounds. Females are around five feet tall and weigh between 800-1000 pounds. The bison has long shaggy brown fur, a mane and beard under its chin and a long tail with a tuft of hair at the end. It has a big head with short black horns and a hump on its shoulders.
The American bison spends the warm hours of the day resting, chewing its cud or wallowing in dirt. It is most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
Bison live in a variety of groups. Females and young males may live in groups of up to 20 bison. Males also can live in groups of up to 20 males, or they can live in smaller groups or individually. Mature males and females usually live apart except during breeding season. Each bison group has a dominant male or female.

We have great people that have served the community since 1945. We are a pro-active, ecologically responsible, worldwide leader in the manufacturing of high performance coatings for use on wood, metal, plastics, and other substrates.
A shot blaster is a self-contained portable piece of equipment that shoots metal BBs onto the floor, roughening it and removing about 1/16 inch of concrete. The shot is collected in a rebound chamber and recirculated, while the concrete dust is sucked up by a vacuum connection.
Most garage floors require a full day for prep and patching. The epoxy coating can be applied with brushes or rollers. A durable floor will require at least two coats of epoxy, which must cure overnight between coats. Once the final coat is down, it's best to wait at least three days before allowing a vehicle into the garage; full curing can take up to two weeks.
A new slab needs to cure for at least 28 days before a coating can be applied. The most important step in a successful epoxy job is slab preparation, which takes much longer than coating application. The adhesion won't be there, and you can get delamination without correct prep. But, if the floor has been prepped right, the concrete will fail before the bond. If the floor ever chips, the coating will pull up a piece of the concrete with it.
Prep your cement slab right A smoothly troweled concrete slab needs to be roughed up by either acid washing or shot blasting. Acid washing (or etching) involves mopping a dilute solution of muriatic acid over the floor, then rinsing thoroughly. Because the procedure is fairly simple, it's popular with many contractors. But most coatings specialists advise that abrasion with a shot blaster prepares a slab more thoroughly than acid washing.
These are the tools you will need to safely repaint your stove or BBQ
Beautifully repainted gas and charcoal 2 sided BBQ with Stove Bright high temp paint on it.
Coating contractors know that the main reason for the growing popularity of epoxy flooring is the look. Epoxy contractors offer a wide palette of colors, as well as decorative patterns created by adding contrasting vinyl chips or colored quartz aggregate to the top epoxy layer.
Coating companies describe these options as speckled, terrazzo, marble-like, or granite-like expoxy. Some types of color chips do double duty by providing an anti-skid texture to the floor.
After two or three coats of epoxy have been applied, some contractors recommend a polyurethane top coat. A transparent urethane top coat is good for abrasion resistance. Urethanes can give a better resistance to solvents.
Many coatings experts say that urethane is unnecessary. Urethane is very good at UV light resistance, but if the coating is used indoors, you really don't need it.
Polyurethanes are much harder than epoxy, and they will keep their gloss much longer. But a urethane top coat makes it hard to recoat with epoxy, because nothing sticks to it. That's why we recommend just the epoxy. In five years, you can just wash the floor and recoat, and no screen sanding is necessary.
