We want to keep our OpenStack®-powered Rackspace Private Cloud Software as up-to-date as possible. And today, we launched the latest version of the software, which is built on the most recent stable release of OpenStack, Grizzly. Grizzly is the seventh and latest version of OpenStack based on the alphabetical naming of releases and includes more than 230 new features to support production operations at scale and integrate into enterprise environments. Previous releases include Diablo, Essex and Folsom.
This Grizzly-fueled latest version of Private Cloud Software adds a number of new features that empower you to manage virtual networks, use single sign-on and leverage external storage arrays all in your private cloud environments. The new features available today include Active Directory and LDAP integration; OpenStack Networking for creating and modifying virtual networks; and advanced block storage support.
Since the initial launch of Private Cloud Software in August 2012, thousands of you in more than 150 countries and on all seven continents – even Antarctica! – have downloaded it. Businesses around the world see the value of private cloud as a part of a hybrid cloud solution, which creates the perfect mix of private cloud, public cloud and dedicated bare metal servers to offer the best fit for your application. These businesses understand the tremendous value in putting the right workloads and applications on the best platform to maximize total cost of ownership, reliability, performance and security.
Along with the latest release of Private Cloud Software we also offer two different tiers of support: Core Software Support and Software Escalation Support. We take all the lessons we learned from running the largest OpenStack-powered cloud in the world to help you design, deploy and operate your private cloud, either on-premise in your data center or hosted in a Rackspace data center of your choice.
To see how financial services giant Fidelity is leveraging an OpenStack-powered private cloud as a building block for its hybrid cloud approach, check out this video from GigaOm Structure. Another customer, HubSpot, also leverages a private cloud as part of its hybrid cloud footprint at Rackspace. To learn more, check out this keynote presentation from OpenStack Summit Portland. And fisoc, also a Rackspace customer, relies on its private cloud environment to meet strict compliance requirements for its merchant-funded loyalty program, Buzz PointTM, which rewards community bank and credit union customers for shopping at local businesses.
One of the most exciting new features in the latest version of Private Cloud Software is OpenStack Networking, codename Neutron (formerly known as Quantum). You can now create, edit and delete virtual networks for private cloud environments. With the new functionality, you can create virtual networks within your environments to isolate virtual machines within private clouds. This powerful feature allows you to run multiple virtually segregated environments within the same cloud. For example, if the finance department requires isolation from the rest of the cloud, it can use this feature to put boundaries around its virtual machines to ensure that no one else outside of that department can access its compute resources.
Another new feature, Active Directory and LDAP support, comes integrated with OpenStack Grizzly and eliminates the hassle of managing a separate list of users and passwords to access to the private cloud resources. With this capability, users who access the private cloud can do so by using their single sign-on or corporate user account.
Lastly, the addition of block storage support enables you to utilize external storage arrays from EMC, NetApp and SolidFire within your Rackspace Private Cloud environments. Using the OpenStack Block Storage project and drivers written specifically for these external storage platforms boosts the available storage capacity in your cloud environment by attaching enterprise storage arrays. This can then be used to store the data, virtual machines and images required to operate the private cloud. You can then also make use of the advanced features that are available on the array – these features will differ based on the platform, but could include powerful capabilities such as de-duplication and replication.
To check out and download the latest version, go to the Rackspace Private Cloud Software page. We'd love to hear your feedback so be sure to drop us an email at email@example.com or join the conversation in the Private Cloud forums.

A FESTIVAL atmosphere came to Radcliffe as the town's 49th annual carnival enticed the crowds - despite downpours.
Hundreds of families lined the streets to watch a parade described by onlookers as "the best in many years" snake its way through Radcliffe town centre.
Approximately double the amount of people attended the carnival compared to last year's turnout, despite frequent heavy showers throughout the morning.
Organisers are already planning 2015's 50th carnival celebrations and say this event could be residents' final opportunity to throw themselves behind the tradition.

Rattlers vanquish T-Birds with big defensive effort
Updated 11:28 pm, Saturday, September 1, 2012
As Reagan entered halftime against Wagner on Saturday, Rattlers defensive players noticed that they weren't even tired.
That was because Reagan ran 42 offensive plays in the first half. Wagner ran 12.
But Reagan still needed to grind out a 20-13 victory at Comalander Stadium in a strange game dominated by the Rattlers in almost every area except the score.
Wagner used two big plays to take a 13-13 tie into the fourth quarter, but Reagan's ball-control offense and strong defense prevailed.
Reagan held Wagner to 101 total yards and six first downs, and Marshall Young rushed for two touchdowns to give the Rattlers the victory.
"We're in the locker room at half, and we're all thinking that we'd barely been on the field," defensive end Tanner Schorp said. "That's the type of game we want if we can get it."
Wagner never trailed in the first half, despite managing only one first down. The Thunderbirds' first possession started in Reagan territory after a short punt, and Tekoa Bryant-Mckinnies hit Xavier La Grant for a 35-yard pass. Robert Gardner scored a 2-yard TD on the next play.
Sports Channel
Wagner didn't gain another 35 yards on offense until the fourth quarter.
"We were real bitter about that first play," Schorp said. "We said to each other, 'They had their fun, now their fun's over.'"
Wagner struck on defense in the second quarter. Reagan quarterback Kyle Keller was hit as he threw and the ball popped up to Wagner defensive end Charles Fuller, who returned the interception 56 yards for a score.
But Reagan's offensive line controlled the rest of the game, helping Young rush for 64 yards and two scores, including the game-winning 2-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Young filled in for Elijah Ball, who suffered an ankle injury in the first half.
Ty Summers, who split time with Keller at quarterback, rushed for 82 yards and a TD. Summers' only pass attempt was negated by a penalty, while Keller threw for 63 yards.

Re: Update on Ben
Tom....to"poop" has taken on a very important position on this site as has burping and flatulence. (Key words for us.) I am right there with you...let is happen for dear Ben.
Our Kris and several others have had the bypass surgery with great results and that is why I believe that Ben will be up to eating some of his favorite foods real soon.
I am glad that he is in the comfort of his own home and graced with the greatest caregiver imaginable.
You guys are fantastic.

How do they sleep at night?
It is a question that must be asked. I have asked it so many times in print that I have lost count.
How do you run over a 7-year-old girl not once, but twice, and simply disappear, leaving her, for all you know, to die in the street?
Do you just go home, sit down to dinner, watch a little television and turn in for the night? And what of the next day, or the one that follows or the weeks to come?
I have been here a little more than a month now. Rare has been the day, or at least it seems, that a motorist does not hit a pedestrian and flee the scene. I have been printing out each new story. I now have a stack of them.
The one that riles – no, makes my blood boil – is the Dec. 5 hit-and-run involving Evelyn Sanchez. She is 7.
Her mother, Melitza Jimenez, was moving Evelyn and her four siblings into their new Santa Ana apartment. She was unloading items from the back of her car when Evelyn, for whatever reason, darted into the 400 block of South Birch Street.
A dark-colored SUV traveling at about 30 mph struck the girl and dragged her about 15 yards. A black-and-white surveillance video of the area captured the SUV's brake lights come on briefly before the driver sped up and disappeared down the road.
"It was an accident," Melitza Jimenez told the Register the following day. "What hurts is that (the driver) didn't stop."
I spoke with Santa Ana Police Department spokesman Cpl. Anthony Bertagna to see whether they were at all close to an arrest in the case. The little girl remained at Western Medical Center where she has undergone two surgeries for injuries to her head and body.
"We have leads," Bertagna said, "but nothing to the point where we are near to making an arrest." And then he grew quiet for a long moment. "How anyone can just leave a 7-year-old child in the middle of the street to die is beyond me."
He began his list of the hit-and-runs that have affected him the most. I told him I have the newspaper accounts of them on my desk.
Police officers, I have discovered – the same men and women who can speak so dispassionately about even a murder – get downright angry when discussing hit-and-run drivers. It is the few times they will swear in an interview.
I have since come to believe it is all about the sheer wantonness of the act, the wholesale victimization it causes, not only of the dead or badly injured, but their families.
It is the rare hit-and-run, I have also discovered, that gets solved. And when that occurs, police officers become almost giddy with joy.
I will not say Sgt. Cameron Knauerhaze, Westminster Police Department spokesman, was giddy when I spoke with him the other day about an arrest officers made in a late November fatal hit-and-run. It was close, though.
Brennan Soit, 24, was found lying on Beach Boulevard south of 23rd Street where he soon would die from multiple injuries. Knauerhaze and other officers, beginning that night, bombarded the media with requests for the public's help in tracking down a late-model Toyota Rav4. Debris left in the street told officers the make and model of the vehicle that had killed Soit and fled.
Two days later, a 44-year-old man came to the Westminster police front counter, and identified himself as the driver. He was then arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run involving death and vehicular manslaughter.
"The media played a tremendous factor in that case," Knauerhaze later said, adding he had never before seen in his 16 years of police work a hit-and-run driver turn himself in.
In the Soit case, he said it was involving the media that made the difference.
"People see their vehicle on TV," he said, "they see us knocking on doors and start to believe we're closing in on them. People say, 'OK, you got me."
Each and every hit-and-run is horrific, yet Bertagna of Santa Ana PD tells me of one that is not in my stack.
It happened last June when a woman and her two young daughters made their way through a crosswalk at 17th and Spurgeon streets on their way to breakfast.
A Lexus never stopped for the red light and barreled into Eloisa Magana, 45, and her daughters, Osmara, 5, and Grecia Meza, 6. Osmara was killed instantly. Her mother and sister were severely injured.
A witness, Beatriz Jimenez, followed the Lexus in her Honda Civic for two blocks before managing to cut off the Lexus and hold the driver until police arrived.
The woman and her surviving daughter only recently were discharged from the hospital. Jorge Omar Meza, Osmara's father, lost his job to care for his wife and daughter.
Remember what I told you about police officers and hit-and-run victims?
"We want to give that family a good Christmas," Bertagna said.
The department through the Santa Ana Police Department Foundation, a nonprofit, is seeking toys and other items for the family, which it plans to present to them at 10 a.m. on Thursday.
"We just started working on it, but a lot of the guys here … Well, we just want to do it for them."
People wishing to help out the family too, Bertagna said, may contact the foundation at 714-972-0200.

THE first day of the season cost us a play-off place.
The 8-0 defeat of Hyde fooled us all. It disguised the fact that not only were we getting the same old dross, we were getting expensive dross.
High wages, long contracts, the signings of Barnes-Homer and Mangan, Marcus Law added to the coaching staff and a sports psychologist. A big budget was being blown.
We had plenty of players but no team. The mistakes of last season had not been addressed. The inevitable managerial change should have come after the home defeat to Tamworth. Instead we had to wait for four more defeats. With Gary Seward in charge a shaming FA Cup defeat followed. The only way was up.
The managerial appointment was important. A host of applicants were sifted through and a strong list emerged and there was a news blackout at the club.
Ady who? This was the question many of us asked – we soon knew. A genuine football man had been appointed with a true vision for the club. Post-match press conferences changed. No longer were excuses and tension the norm. No longer was the world against us. Instead we had honesty, realism and at times humour.
Form picked up and at one stage the play-offs looked possible, however the inherited problems were a ball and chain locked to the manager's leg.
The first one he identified immediately. It was the inability of the team to defend crosses and corners.
If the opposition did not win the first ball their determination saw they won the second.
All season goals have been conceded to corner kicks or from the inability to subsequently clear the ball.
The goals given away have cost us dearly. At Halifax, home to Braintree, on Saturday against Woking and away to Barnet instantly spring to mind, but there are many more. Some supporters praise individual defenders but collectively we have a poor record. Sixty five goals have been scored against us.
The figures for Luton are 33, Cambridge 31, and Braintree 38 (as at April 20).
These are the standards we have to meet. Improving our defensive record will be a pre-season priority. At the time of writing we have the eighteenth worst defensive record in the league. I absolve the forwards from criticism. We are the fourth highest scorers in the league.
These statistics however obscure the manager's main problem. He has too many players on high wages and long contracts.
We saw in the transfer window how difficult it is to ship out players. We shall see the same again in the summer.
We may start next season with players on the books no one wants, worse than that, in order to accommodate them we may be unable to accommodate some we wish to keep.
Without doubt the wages/contracts situation is our manager's biggest problem I am afraid those expecting a huge clear out may be disappointed. Contracts have to be honoured.
This look back is not all doom and gloom. Rovers can be entertaining to watch.
Ady's team more the ball forward quicker than before on occasions do so using the whole width of the field.
Lee Hughes has brought a mature presence and an astute football brain, Marcus Kelly has a sweet left foot while James Norwood has matured in so many ways, scoring goals at home and away. He is my player of the year. Whether playing as one of the twin strikers or wide in mid-field he runs at defenders with pace and determination. He has a buccaneering spirit and if his beard (yes – he is growing one) develops we may have our own captain Jack Sparrow.
Visiting The New Lawn remains a joy. My guests are always impressed and many return.
In so many ways Forest Green Rovers present the acceptable face of non-league football. We have a club with the infrastructure to take us into the football league and for that the chairman deserves full credit.
My man of the season award is a joint one, going to Sam Reid of the Supporters Club and coach supremo Ken Boulton. Anyone who knows them is aware of how deserved they are of this award.

It's well recognized that feelings of gratitude play a fundamental role in promoting happiness. It's also impossible to feel stressed or worried when you are thinking about something you are grateful for. So make an effort to think about what you are grateful for and post it here. You'll feel better for it.
Sometimes the things we are most grateful for are very personal. If that's the case feel free to be vague about it, posting will still make you feel better.
I'll start!

I'm grateful for many, many things... to many to metion them here because the post would be too long... Of course, I also want more
My failures. I'm glad I have them because I know what is wrong or right. I can see where I failed and improve that area. Failures help a person grow. Learn from your failures but try not to repeat them again, otherwise there's no development.
To have a job!!
I am grateful that I earn well through the internet.
I am grateful for life, for having a wonderful family and for the joy it brings. I am just glad to be here and be part of this community as well.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - A substitute teacher just hired by the St. Johns County school district was arrested for having child pornography on a hard drive, according to an arrest report.
Deputies arrested 26-year-old Matthew Atkinson on Friday after they said they found multiple movies with video of what appeared to be underage girls involved in sexual activity.
Channel 4 talked with Atkinson's former roommate, who found the porn on a flash drive at their home and called authorities.
"What if he was involved with other people who make or distribute (porn)? I don't want these kind of people coming around my .... house," the man told Channel 4.
Investigators caught up with Atkinson at a school and charged him with several counts of possession of obscene material.
Detectives said the man admitted he downloaded the videos and got pleasure in watching them.
Christina Langston, with the St. Johns County school system, said the alleged crimes did not involve any students. She said he was recently hired and had only substituted for four days. She said he taught at Gaines-Transitional School, Mill Creek and Ward's Creek Elementary.
Langston said the superintendent will recommend Atkinson's termination to the school board at the next meeting Dec. 11.
Atkinson, originally from Georgia, bonded out of jail Saturday.

Barmes comes off DL to resume utility role
PITTSBURGH -- Clint Barmes was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Monday, and will return to his role as the Pirates' utility infielder. Jayson Nix was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot.
Barmes had been sidelined since early July with a strained left groin. He played in seven rehab contests between Double-A and Triple-A within the past two weeks and said he was able to "test the injury the way he needed to test it."
"It's a pretty serious injury, so coming back, it's going to be sore," Barmes said before Monday's series opener against the Cardinals. "It's not a soreness that kept me from doing things I've needed to do. I made a backhand play, which is exactly how it popped, and I did it in a game, and it didn't pop again, it held on."
The Pirates were using a mix of Nix, as well as callups Michael Martinez and Brent Morel to plug into the infield when necessary, but Barmes' return bolsters Clint Hurdle's bench. The Pirates' manager noted that Barmes would likely also get some starts in the near future to spell third baseman Josh Harrison and shortstop Jordy Mercer.
Barmes, a 12-year Major League veteran, entered Monday with a .239 average in 42 games this season -- including 22 starts.

Greinke's strained right calf improving
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke reported further improvement in his mild right calf strain on Saturday.
Manager Don Mattingly said Greinke would play catch on flat ground for the second consecutive day and work toward a bullpen session. Once Greinke throws a bullpen session, he would likely pitch in a simulated game, with risky actions such as covering bases controlled.
All of that adds up to Greinke being scratched from the club's season-opening trip to Australia, although club officials have yet to make that official. But with the projected timetable, it is virtually impossible for Greinke to be at a 90-pitch count in three weeks.
The right-hander made only four pitches Thursday, when he injured the leg in his first spring start against Arizona.

NFL, ex-Pats video assistant Walsh finally agree to Spygate meeting
It's about time we learn the truth, whatever it may be.By Mike Fish
Former New England Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh, who has told ESPN.com he has potentially damaging information about the team's taping practices, reached an agreement Wednesday to meet with league officials and turn over any video tapes he might have to support his allegations.
Walsh, employed by the Patriots from 1996 through the 2002 Super Bowl and now an assistant golf pro in Hawaii, is expected to travel to New York and interview with Commissioner Roger Goodell and other NFL officials on Tuesday, May 13. Before the long-anticipated meeting, the agreement calls for Walsh to provide the league any tapes or materials he possesses from his years with the Patriots.
Walsh told ESPN.com in a January interview that he had never been contacted by NFL officials during their investigation of the Patriots' illegal taping practices. It was only after his name surfaced in the media during Super Bowl week that the league attempted to reach Walsh, who worked seven years with the Patriots before being let go in January, 2003.
The Spygate story surfaced after a Patriots' video assistant was caught illegally taping defensive signals from New York Jets assistant coaches during the 2007 season opener. The Jets knew what to look for in catching the Patriots, as head coach Eric Mangini and several assistants, including video director Steve Scarnecchia, previously worked under Bill Belichick in New England.
"If I had a reason to want to go public or tell a story, I could have done it before this even broke," Walsh told ESPN.com in January. "I could have said everything rather than having Mangini be the one to bring it out."
Walsh, 31, is thought to be the last and perhaps most crucial witness in the lingering Spygate saga. He expressed a willingness to speak to NFL officials back in January about insights into the Pats' taping procedures, but attorney Michael N. Levy, a white-collar crime specialist with the Washington-based firm of McKee Nelson, continued negotiating with the league until Walsh was provided full indemnification against possible lawsuits, absent intentional untruthfulness.
"I am pleased that we now have an agreement that provides Mr. Walsh with appropriate legal protections," Levy said in a prepared statement. "Mr. Walsh is looking forward to providing the NFL with the materials he has and telling the NFL what he knows."
The eight-page agreement requires Walsh turn over to the NFL any documents, including videotapes that relate to allegations of videotaping Patriots opponents, by May 8. His legal counsel, Levy, is allowed under the agreement to retain a copy of his document, though the materials can not be used for commercial purposes or in a manner that could "reasonably be expected to be disparaging to the NFL." Nor may Walsh or his attorney make documents available to a third party without the league's consent.
The agreement fully indemnifies Walsh and holds him harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, attorneys fees, costs [including travel expenses] and reasonable lost wages as a result of his former employment with the Patriots and subsequent cooperation in the NFL's videotaping investigation.
Walsh is also required to refrain from seeking commercial gain from his involvement until fulfilling his obligations to the league. In an interesting twist, the agreement spells out that any financial gain Walsh realizes related to his involvement in Spygate over the next five years must be donated to a charity selected by the NFL and approved by Walsh.
The agreement also stipualtes that Walsh must meet with the NFL before being interviewed by any third party, including the media. "Accordingly, Mr. Walsh will not be making any statements at this time," Levy said.
The drawn-out negotiations between Levy and the league's outside counsel, Gregg Levy [no relation], presumably also representing the Patriots' interest, finally closed in on a deal over the past two weeks.
The question now is whether Walsh has first-hand insight or video evidence to advance the story. Walsh has suggested he has video tapes and the agreement is written with that assumption. But if he does have tapes, what do they reveal? And how much more damaging would it be for the Patriots and Belichick?
There's also the issue of what light, if any, he can shed on allegations that the then-underdog Patriots taped the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough the afternoon before Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002. Rumors of the taping first circulated shortly after the Spygate incident last September, and were reported by the Boston Herald, citing a single, unnamed source, on the eve of the Super Bowl.
The Herald story cited an unidentified member of the Patriots' video staff as having filmed the Rams' final practice. Other media outlets subsequently connected Walsh to the alleged taping. ESPN.com, however, has been unable to confirm that the taping took place.
Asked about the rumored taping, Walsh told ESPN.com: "Really, it is nothing that I care to go on the record about or talk about."
Ever since his name surfaced, the league and the Patriots have minimized Walsh's significance to Spygate, while continuing to hit on the theme that the matter has been thoroughly investigated and that it's time to move on. Back in September, the league took away the Patriots first-round draft pick [31st pick in Saturday's college draft], while levying a $500,000 fine against Belichick and a $250,000 fine to the team.
The story has been kept alive by Sen. Arlen Specter, the Republican leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has criticized the league's investigation -- specifically the destruction of notes and six tapes turned over by the Patriots from the 2006 season and 2007 preseason. After initially describing the illegal taping as very limited, Goodell later revealed that Belichick had admitted following the same taping practices since he took over the Patriots in 2000.
Specter has been vocal in expressing frustration with what he views as stonewalling tactics by the league and its teams. His staff has approached individuals with both the Patriots and Jets, only to be told by team attorneys that they would not cooperate with his investigation.
Specter will not be part of the NFL's interview of Walsh, but he and his staff will meet with him later in Washington.

If It's Friday It Must Be Eggplant
Eggplant reminds me of Trebbiano. Neither is particularly distinctive. Both are rather ubiquitous around the Mediterranean. They often get paired with other more powerful partners, like garlic or oak. One can find many variations of either, from pureed to roasted, barrel fermented to distilled. It seems many people don't understand either too well, and along with that goes a dearth of appreciation. But dependable and always ready are both of these workhorses in the Italian stable.
I absolutely love eggplant. It is my comfort food; it is the ingredient that I have spent more time working with in the kitchen than any other. Except, possibly, eggs. In fact, the two in combination would often make a meatless Friday meal, for the observant ones.
Looking at wine, Trebbiano has been my silent friend. Always fresh and affordable, never in fashion. Not cool enough to be a Pinot Grigio or trendy enough to be a Grillo. It missed the Riesling wave of popularity, and never quite found the audience a Chardonnay has. It rarely aspires to greatness, although there are ones out there that get a lot of buzz.
So these two jilted items, do we think they care? Do they know we think?
Last month, I brought eggplant seeds back from Italy, called Black Beauty. They grow into wonderful big bottomed plants. Today, in my garden, they shuddered under the torrent of rain that pelted their young frames. If they make it through the next 30 days, we should be able to harvest a good crop.
More and more, I am less interested in what people think Italian food and wine is. I relish the stories that have been handed down. My aunt Elvira, in Calabria, told me the story of our way with eggplant. She testified with a fire and a skillet. What she passed along to me 30 years ago, was part of our family's culinary history. It was wonderful to see her cousin Amelia, my aunt in Texas, who also had a way with the black beauty. These two, who never met each other, knew each other through their eggplant heritage. And I was lucky to witness both of them working in the kitchen.
Likewise with Trebbiano. There was a man in Grottammare, Dottore Spinelli, who passed his knowledge along to a young winemaker in Abruzzo, Claudio Capellacci. In the locality of Controguerra, he passed the torch of his passion to the young man. It was like a lightning bolt. History of countless generations of winemaking transmitted to the up and coming adults.
Dottore Spinelli was a wonderful man. He had a Ray Bolger-like head, shaped like a grape. When he drank wine his head would turn red from the top, like a sunset. Over the evening his head would become almost beet red, and he would tell stories that had been handed down from previous generations. That was how wine was, and is, made. Without the stories we wouldn't have the map. The road to discovery is taken with the help of the ones who went before.
One night Dottore Spinelli was coming down the hill from Controguerra in Abruzzo, back to his home in Grottammare. He was with his wife of many years. They were in their little Lancia and missed one of the hairpin turns in the dark night of the country. It was an accident that only one of them recovered from. He lost his partner and the love of his life. After that, it was only a matter of time; he lost the will to go on.
How will you be remembered? Is there a wine you have made into a wonderful masterpiece? Or a recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation? Will someone mourn your passing, missing your touch and your laugh? What will you contribute to the carousel of humanity, on this tiny little planet off in the corner of a minor galaxy? Trebbiano and eggplant, even if they are misunderstood on a daily basis, have left a legacy.

In Barnet's last two matches Mauro Vilhete has played across the Bees' attack and at left back. He's scored twice and received back-to-back man of the match awards. It's little wonder he doesn't mind where he is deployed.
It's easy to forget that Vilhete is only 20 years old. He made his Barnet debut back in 2010 but has struggled to establish himself as a first team regular.
This season he has been in and out of Barnet's squad but his versatility has proved invaluable. He's made 19 appearances and hasn't let the side down when called up.
"I'm loving it no matter what position I play," Vilhete said after his last minute goal on Saturday helped Barnet complete a 1-0 win against Southport.
"I'm just trying to help the team win. I've played in pretty much all of the positions before except for left back. So I am used to it a little bit and I am adapting to left back.
"To be honest I don't really care where they play me as long as I help the team win."
Barnet supporters will hope their late victory at the weekend will kick-start a promotion bid that has been failing in the last month.
The Bees are only outside of the play-off positions on goal difference but a number of clubs have several games in hand.
Vilhete admits Barnet can't drop any points at The Hive from now until the end of the season but believes finishing in the play-offs remains a realistic possibility.
He said: "No one doubts each other in the dressing room. We know we're a strong team and if we play as we did (against Southport) then we know that no team in the league can match us. So we have to carry on with the same performances and grind out results."
Vilhete believes the Bees fans will play an important role at home matches during the run in and says their support helps spur the team on.
He explained: "It helps us push on and motivates us that little bit more. So the win against Southport was for the fans because they were with us for the whole game and it helped us."
Saturday's victory was the first game in permanent charge for Dutch duo Ulrich Landvreugd and Dick Schreuder.
They've taken over from Edgar Davids but Vilhete believes there hasn't been a dramatic overhaul since the former Juventus midfielder's departure.
He said: "I don't think too much has changed. We've been trying to play the same way we played under Mister (Davids) but with a little bit more freedom."

Under California law, courts can make orders to protect an employee from suffering unlawful violence or credible threats of violence at the workplace.
The court can order a person to:
A workplace violence restraining order must be requested by an employer on behalf of an employee who needs protection. The court order can last up to 3 years. The order can also protect certain family or household members of the employee and other employees at the employee's workplace or at other workplaces of the employer. These orders will be enforced by law enforcement agencies.
An employer can obtain court orders prohibiting unlawful violence or credible threats of violence against an employee. The workplace violence laws differ from other California laws that allow victims of violence or threats of violence to ask the court for these orders themselves.
Employees CANNOT ask for workplace violence protective orders. If they want to protect themselves, they can ask for a different type of protective order on their own, such as:
If you are the employee and you are not sure what kind of protective order you should get, talk to a lawyer. Click for help finding a lawyer. Also, your court's self-help center may be able to help you. And your local legal services offices may also be able to help you or refer you to someone who can.
For an employer to get an order under this law there must be reasonable proof that:
"Credible threat of violence" means intentionally saying something or acting in a way that would make a reasonable person afraid for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. A "credible threat of violence" includes following or stalking someone, or making harassing calls or sending harassing messages by phone, mail, or e-mail, over a period of time (even if it is a short time).
Read about the law in Code of Civil Procedure section 527.8.
A workplace violence restraining order can order the restrained person to:
Once the court issues (makes) the order, it goes into a statewide computer system. This means that law enforcement officers across California can see that there is a restraining order in place.
For the person to be restrained, the consequences of having the order against him or her can be very severe:
If the person to be restrained violates the restraining order, he or she may go to jail, or pay a fine, or both.
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
When an employer asks a court for a workplace violence restraining order protecting 1 of its employees, the employer must fill out paperwork telling the judge everything that has happened and why the employee needs a restraining order. The employer can ask for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to be put in place, without a hearing or notice to the other side, until there is a court hearing. If the judge believes the employee needs protection, and the employer followed all proper court procedures, the judge will usually issue a TRO protecting the employee.
Temporary restraining orders usually last about 15 to 25 days, until the court hearing date.
"Permanent" Restraining Order (Restraining Order After Hearing)
Whether or not the judge issues a TRO, the clerk will set a date for a hearing on the employer's request for a restraining order. At the hearing, the judge may issue a "permanent" restraining order. The restraining order issued at the hearing may or may not be the same as the TRO. The order is not really "permanent" because it can last only up to 3 years. But it can be renewed after that if the situation continues.
Criminal Protective Order or "Stay-Away" Order
Sometimes when there is a workplace violence incident (or series of incidents), the district attorney will file criminal charges against the person committing the violence. This starts a criminal court case. It is common for the criminal court to issue a criminal protective order against the defendant (the person who is committing or threatening violence) while the criminal case is going on, and, if the defendant is found guilty or pleads guilty, for 3 years after the case is over.
When an employer asks the court to issue a workplace violence restraining order, the employer must file court forms telling the judge what orders it wants and why. What happens after the forms are filed varies a little from court to court, but the general steps in the court case are:
1. The employer wanting protection for the employee files court forms asking for the restraining order.
2. If a temporary restraining order is requested, the judge will decide whether or not to make the order by the next business day. Sometimes the judge decides sooner.
3. If the judge issues (gives) the orders requested, he or she will first make "temporary" orders that only last until the court date. The court date will be on the paperwork. These temporary orders can include issues like:
4. The employer will have to "serve" the person to be restrained with a copy of all the papers filed before the hearing date. This means that someone 18 or older (NOT involved in the case) must hand-deliver a copy of all the papers to the person to be restrained.
5. The employer, the employee, and the person to be restrained should go to the court hearing.
6. At the hearing, the judge will decide to continue the temporary restraining order, issue a different restraining order, or deny the requested order entirely. If the judge decides to issue a restraining order, it may last up to 3 years.

Bethesda has a long history of supporting the modding community, and for good reason. It's a science fact that mod tools make the world a better place: they make modders happy because they can mod, they make developers happy to see modders gaining experience, and they make fans happy to see an endless stream of content they can mess around with. So today we were pretty happy to finally confirm our plans to continue that support with Skyrim.
As Game Informer confirmed on Monday, Skyrim's new engine has been dubbed the "Creation Engine." Accompanying that engine will be the Creation Kit, our suite of level-building tools that we'll be releasing to the community, much like the Elder Scrolls Construction Set for Morrowind and Oblivion.
The Kit was recently mentioned in the Game Informer article on the tech behind Skyrim. While we have nothing further to announce regarding the Kit at this time, give that article a read for more details on just how powerful these tools will be.

If you are getting an error like this:
Exception: DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (13/02/2013) at position 0 (1): Unexpected character in DateTime->__construct()
Note that when you create a new date object using a format with slashes and dashes (eg 02-02-2012 or 02/02/2012) it must be in the mm/dd/yy(yy) or mm-dd-yy(yy) format (rather than british format dd/mm/yy)! Months always before years (the american style) otherwise you'll get an incorrect date and may get an error like the one above (where PHP is crashing on trying to decode a 13th month).
Can catch you off guard because everything seems to be working fine and dandy until you hit a value over 12.
