Today, organizations must ask — why virtualize? — and the answer must satisfy the CFO, the CEO, and the end users, just as much as it satisfies the IT support team. Consolidating servers into a smaller and more elastic footprint allows businesses to leverage fewer physical hosts and shared storage. With server virtualization, it is reasonable to virtualize 10 (or more) virtual servers on a single hardware host.
If your child has ever missed the bus, then you understand server virtualization...
Speed of Deployment: Adding a virtual server is a quick task. In fact, virtual servers can be templates that IT can copy and turn on in minutes versus the weeks it typically takes to procure and configure a physical server. Improved Administration: With the configuration and rollout of virtual servers easily standardized and centralized, the reliability of installations and the ease of maintenance improves, as does IT's ability to meet SLAs and user expectations.

My little Susie missed the school bus this morning and it sure did send my day into a tailspin! Think of my car as a single, dedicated physical server running Susie to and from school. The school bus (yep, the one that she missed) represents a host running Susie's classmates to and from school. Each student is still very much an individual, just as each virtual server can continue to support an individual purpose; yet, they are all sharing a ride and better utilizing resources. The financial impact to each household to procure and operate a bus fleet is lower than the impact on time, wear, resources, infrastructure, and frustration that would result from driving each student to and from school in their own car.
Higher Availability: Virtual servers are applications to a host making them easily transportable across physical hosts and across disparate infrastructures. Should a hardware host fail, any and/ or all of the virtual servers running on it can be automatically restarted on another host in that data center or elsewhere. Disaster Recovery: Due to the portable nature of virtual servers and the ability to standardize the virtualization configuration, a DR site can be much more easily and affordably established for a virtualized model than for traditional physical servers. Lower OpEx: Virtual servers enable less power consumption and heat generation, and also reduce the number of physical assets for IT to update and maintain. Coupled with a more efficient administration model, server virtualization will lower overall IT overhead costs.

Actually, if you think about it, a one-size-fits-all approach to anything is pretty much destined to fail. Especially when it comes to desktop virtualization because you cannot successfully address all the different needs of today's workers. Hey, out of curiosity, which type of worker are you?
This is how I like to explain the concept of desktop virtualization to Dale, Sam, and Steve. If you were constructing a 10-story log cabin, the first few floors would be sturdy and rock-solid; but, as you get closer to the top you'll start to notice that the foundation crumbles a bit or may start to get wobbly. The same thing would happen to your virtual environment if you're not careful.
• The Pavement Pounder: Are you a remote worker highly reliant on your laptop and mobile device to connect to your colleagues and corporate data? • The Power Player: Do you work with demanding applications that require a high level of security and accessibility? • The Task Twirler: Is juggling multiple projects common for you? Do you need a centralized network that allows you to securely access, store, and exchange information in real-time? The challenge for IT is implementing the right kind of desktop view, applications, and services to support each user, while containing cost and addressing security and management concerns. To that point, many organizations have elected to replace their desktop PCs with simple client terminals and have, as a result, experienced measurable hardware cost savings. No lie! Stabilizing your infrastructure for desktop virtualization will allow you to roll your virtual environment out to scale and build on top of it with features like:
mm45x59 :neercS
Hi there! I'm so happy you decided to learn all about desktop virtualization with me. But before we begin, can I just ask you… How ridiculous do I look in this uniform? Seriously, how do they expect us all to wear a one-size-fits-all? Good golly.
Application Virtualization: According to Citrix, on-demand applications can reduce application management costs by up to 50%, improve application and data security, and accelerate application delivery. Bring Your Own Device: Survey after survey has shown that employees are happier and more productive when they are able to use their own computers, tablets, iPads, and smart phones at work. Sounds simple right? WRONG! IT is now tasked with ensuring connectivity and protecting employer data. Proactively preparing for the big BYOD sweep will centralize and streamline IT resources to successfully foster a productive "work-your-own-way" experience for employees. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure: Simplify secure access with single sign-on, deliver a high performance virtual desktop experience to users at any location from any device, and ensure network and application security.

Employees like yourselves are anxious to get their paws on today's big business trends—video, mobility, cloud computing, virtualization—problem is, before you can start playing with these shiny new toys, you need to make sure your playroom can properly maintain what you already have, and accommodate more.
Did you know that a typical American office worker produces 1.8 million megabytes of data each year?
What you really need is a unified storage management approach that includes disaster recovery, high performance, high availability, and takes into account utilization, power, space, and cooling. That way, you have a foundation sturdy enough to scale, and you never have to worry about all that corporate data you have floating around. It will be stored, protected, and optimized.
The amount of data generated in the world reached 2.8 zettabytes in 2012. And that number is projected to double by 2015. -MIT Technology Review
Here are a few other things to keep in mind when building your storage foundation: Archiving: Archival solutions can help if you implement them with storage that includes the right level of performance, data protection, and data retention to achieve: • rapid access to data for discovery and litigation support, • flexible data retention that helps enable compliance, and • less complexity with lower costs.
Screen: 95x54mm
Backup and Recovery: Safeguard critical data and drive operational efficiencies by reducing backup time, improving data recovery, and cutting infrastructure and administrative costs. This solution will allow you to: create disk-to-disk point-in-time backup copies in native format, • reduce backup times from hours or days to minutes, • reduce disk capacity requirements by up to 90% (NetApp), and • speed data recovery. Replication: Replicate powered-on virtual machines over the network from one host to another to:
• reduce bandwidth needs, • eliminate storage lock-in, and • build flexible disaster recovery. Welcome! Glad you chose to explore this path with me. Hey, you have kids? I tell ya, I'm always barking at my son to keep his room neat and orderly. He's got so many darn toys laying around. Although, that sure doesn't stop him from pestering his mother and me for more. Maybe you can relate.
It's time to stop wasting time, money, and resources. A storage management approach will help you better manage what you have and enable you to fill your "toy box" up with more goodies.

With reliance on computer networks and online services growing exponentially each year, the susceptibility to threat can be a paralyzing concern for businesses whose critical data files, applications, and systems are hanging in the balance. While you may not be able to prevent an unforeseen disaster from striking, you can effectively prepare for one.
Here are some statistics to get you shaking in your hiking boots:
Maintaining business operations in the event of the loss of a main location requires some type of a remote Disaster Recovery (DR) site. Sites may be divided into "Hot," "Warm," or "Cold." A hot site allows for the most rapid recovery time to meet the shortest Recovery Time Objective, or "RTO." Cold sites have the longest recovery time, and a warm site is somewhere in between the two.
• The average cost of downtime for a midsize company is $70,000 per hour (Gartner) • 70% of companies that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year (PricewaterhouseCoopers)
A Cold Site is little more than a configured space in a building, and may include a subset of servers, workstations, and associated infrastructure to continue business. Software may need to be installed, patches applied, and images loaded. The delay from a cold backup site to becoming fully operational can span several days or even weeks which many companies cannot afford. Hot Backup Sites have a virtual mirror image of the current data center with all systems installed, configured, patched, and running, and can often be brought up to full production in no more than a few hours by loading the latest databases and images. Companies can also load balance between the DR site and the main site using Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). Some of the business critical applications—e-mail, IP phone systems, voicemail/ auto-attendant, and IP contact/call centers—may actually be in production in parallel with the main site. The recovery time for those applications is actually "zero" since they are already in full production.
Disaster Preparedness

Now, I'm not trying to be an alarmist here, but I do subscribe to the better-safe-than-sorry rule. That is why in my knapsack you will find bear spray, bug repellant, iodine tablets, crew socks, headlamps, energy bars, and bandaids—the ultimate Park Ranger survival kit. Should I find myself in a threatening situation, you can bet your blue bonnet that I'll be prepared. I hope you feel the same way about your business.
In the event of a main site outage, the GSLB Server will sense that the main site is unavailable and will redirect all traffic to the DR site. At a branch office, the local IP phone gateway would also sense through keep-alives that the call processing or voicemail system is down at the main site, and phones would register to the DR site automatically. Similarly, any call center agents could log into the remote site and continue taking customer calls without interruption. Provided call center personnel have Internet connectivity, business can continue as usual from any location until the main site comes back online.

Educational institutions across the country are up against constrained budgets, scarce resources, and stringent testing mandates. With more and more students bringing their own devices onto campus, the role that IT is forced to play is becoming increasingly complex.
Caught between shrinking budgets and a growing need for modern technology, government IT departments need a more agile and cost-effective model for computing—one that allows them to achieve greater efficiency, contain costs, and respond faster to the needs of policy makers, agencies, and constituents. Server Virtualization provides government organizations with a clear path to cloud computing that preserves existing IT investments, security, and control, enabling them to:
Virtualization is alleviating cost, risk, and labor, while enhancing the overall learning experience. IT departments are able to manage a diverse range of applications and data from a centralized location and quickly provision them to users on an as-needed basis. Specific software programs and applications can be sanctioned to certain machines based on the needs of individual classes or users. With virtual desktops housed in the data center, assets can be better managed and secured. No sensitive information—such as student records—would need to be stored at the end-point, alleviating the risk of data loss from a computer virus or damage to hardware.

• Reduce capital costs • Increase energy efficiency • Require less hardware while increasing the server to admin ratio • Ensure enterprise applications perform with the highest availability and performance • Improve service levels through automation A prime example of this: The U.S. House of Representatives Office of the Chief Administrative Officer consolidated 450 servers to fewer than 100, reduced power consumption by 45%, and improved resource utilization.
According to VMware, the Federal government today alone, maintains approximately 2,100 data centers, with a mandate to reduce that number to 800 by 2015. Through virtualization, this goal is achievable.
Many educators have opted to take advantage of their virtual experience from home and create lesson plans or upload assignments in advance which students can access anywhere. Students are becoming more efficient too. With a single sign-on, the student can launch their personalized desktop environment when they log onto their machine from a virtual computer lab saving valuble teaching time. Both K-12 and Higher Educational institutions can yield cost savings from desktop virtualization through: • less maintenance costs on hardware, and • Longer refresh cycles with traditional PCs.

Small and mid-size organizations face unique IT challenges. Deploying critical business technologies can be challenging when your IT staff is small and resources are limited. A virtualization strategy is ideal for IT managers to provision, update, or troubleshoot multiple machines remotely, and all from a centralized location. Large-scale enterprises are also using virtualization to wring the most value out of their technology dollars. Today, businesses of any size are looking to virtual servers to drive more efficient use of resources, lower maintenance costs, and faster server deployment. Other key benefits include: • Protecting data with features that automate business continuity and provide security. • Simplifying IT and saving money which can be reinvested on more strategic projects. • Consuming less power. • Complying with mandates and regulations. • Empowering employees by delivering anytime, anywhere access to the corporate network.

Virtualization Strategy Positions District for Efficiency Gains
College Upgrades Network to Support a Secure BYOD Learning Environment
Virtual Desktop Integration (VDI) Deployment
MCC Leverages Technology to Kick-start College's Growth Plan
Washingtonville Central School District was ready to replace over 700 campus workstations as part of their regular equipment refresh program. This antiquated method of ensuring that students and faculty maintain access to modern technology came with a heavy pricetag.The District began to explore different ways to allocate those funds in exchange for a long-term return on investment. Washingtonville made the decision to adopt a desktop virtualization strategy across three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. By making this kind of investment in the infrastructure, as opposed to merely replacing the desktop hardware, Washingtonville was positioning itself wisely for significant cost savings down the road by extending the lifespan of existing workstations, as well as setting the foundation for a more efficient use of IT time and resources. Annese implemented Cisco UCS Servers, an EMC2 storage area network, Cisco core switching infrastructure, VMware View 5 software, and Trend Micro agentless antivirus software. The project has scaled to support approximately 1000 workstations (including PCs, zero clients, and Chromebooks) connecting to their virtual desktop environment.
Monroe Community College (MCC), one of the largest community colleges in New York State in terms of student enrollment, made a significant investment in its core network infrastructure not only to support the needs of current students but accommodate growth down the road. "We needed a system that would increase our network speed, add intrusion prevention, and provide true redundancy; we wanted to build everything in parallel," said James Clement of MCC.
Objective: To deliver a high-speed, highly available, reliable learning environment experience for MCC faculty and students.
Timeline: August, 2011 - February, 2012
Summary: MCC, Annese, and Cisco upgraded 50 data closets to Cisco 2960 switches, virtualizing the UC environment and swapping out 125 access points for centrally managed wireless.
Benefits: • Increased network resiliency and performance • High-speed throughput across campus • Intrusion prevention
MCC, Annese, and Cisco worked together to build the network architecture by upgrading 50 data closets to Cisco 2960 switches. The result: Increased network resilliency and performance. "This increased our network speed by a factor of 20," said James.
• Highly available, redundant infrastructure
"Through each project phase, we worked with a member of the Annese team to track equipment, replace end-oflife products, and ensure that we got the most value out of our investment. This implementation has enabled the College's growth plan to scale." —James Clement Associate Director of Communications and Network Services

College Invests in Creating a Technology-Rich Environment and Thrives Amongst Competition Objective: To implement a robust data center and VMware infrastructure capable of supporting a campuswide Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment.
Timeline: July, 2012 - August, 2012
Summary: Le Moyne elected to provision the campus data center to expand VDI which could support 300+ virtual desktop users, eventually scaling to 1,200 machines.
Benefits: • Cost savings: $200,000+ per year on hardware • Time savings: IT is more accessible to work with students and faculty directly • Longer hardware lifecycle: PC refresh cycle is roughly two years longer • Faster software updates: Can be completed in as little as three hours • Heightened security: Anytime, anywhere access to campus network resources
"Annese has been instrumental during this process. We wouldn't be where we are today without their unmatched level of professionalism and experience. As a result we hope for a long-lasting partnership." —Shaun Black Acting Director of IT

Watch Le Moyne College's Journey
Le Moyne Scales to Greater Heights with Virtual Desktop Technology Le Moyne College, which was named one of the best undergraduate educational institutions in the nation on the 2014 Princeton Review, started a campus-wide desktop virtualization initiative in the summer of 2012 as a means of rewriting the role that IT plays in the academy. Le Moyne, not unlike many colleges and universities today, is deriving tangible benefits from technologies like server, desktop, and application virtualization, as well as virtual desktop infrastructure, which facilitate a consistent user experience among administrative staff, faculty, and of course students, who bring their own devices onto campus. As Shaun Black, Acting Director of IT at the College, explains, IT should be working hand-in-hand with the students and faculty in order to provide the best overall learning experience. Shaun notes that the department's focus traditionally has been on troubleshooting and supporting desktop technologies as opposed to working directly with users. That role is continually evolving since moving over to a virtualized environment. www.annese.com/lemoyne

NRE (New Relationship Energy) - Merged Threads, General Discussion
View Single Post

Join Date: Jul 2010

NRE lasts about 6 months, but some here will admit to it being longer. I myself have always found a change in the relationship around 2 months ... Still in the grip of NRE, but more focussed on emotional aspects rather than the physical ones at the outset.
There is a thread somewhere, that discusses the potential to be addicted to NRE. While some will argue over whether hopping from NRE to NRE is poly, I don't understand how this is infidelity, unless the poly partners were not aware of each other.
Personally, I would be tempted to call that sort of hopping more of an open relationship, but mono people can do the same thing and no one will argue as to whether or not they're still mono! So, no judging from me if someone wants to call that their poly.
The other possibility is that the hopping person really is looking for another long term partner, and simply can't see through NRE. They must wait for it to go away in order to determine whether or not that relationship will be successful. Every relationship fails until one (or several) don't, you know?

Who Dunnit?
It's a beautiful relationship, art and food. There's no doubt they are one in the same on most occasions. As we continue to support both of these well-loved scenes in Columbus, we see more local restaurants and entertainment venues cultivate relationships with each other.
One of these beautiful pairings is Sherlock's Mystery Dinner Theatre and JK Culinary.
Located at The RiverMill, Sherlock's Mystery Dinner Theatre offers the public an evening of solving a mystery through belly laughs and divine food. It is a VIP experience perfect for couples, friends and family alike.
Owners Kate and JJ Musgrove write the scripts, which differ each season. After choosing the professional actors, Columbus Symphony's Cameron Bean directs. You will also find Cameron acting occasionally, along with the impressive talents of Jim Pharr, Johanna Cabatingan, and Caroline Garcia.
Award winning Chef Jamie Keating recently came on to take the culinary caliber of the mystery dinner to new heights. He brought his five star restaurant, Epic.
Behind the stage, something cohesive is taking place. Everyone is prepping together- chefs and actors, all in one room. Every team member is passionate about executing an impeccable recipe of theater and food. Epics' staff constructs presentations of whipped, topped, saucy, encrusted goodness, while actors get saucy in their own respect, reciting the hilarious script, knowing that it won't go exactly as planned.
Part of the mystery lies in the audience performances. If you arrive there a few minutes early, you can opt to be a part of the show.
There's a unique, vibrant energy that comes from mixing a script with brand new personalities, and therefore, inevitable improv. You never know what accents or demeanor will emerge from the audience. It's a community coming together to celebrate, and it is completely delicious.
The ticket price covers dinner and the theater. A cash bar awaits through the double door entrance into the foyer. At $59 per ticket, it's a steal. Not only are you enjoying a meal well worth $60 alone, the ambiance of the gorgeous venue overlooking the river lends a lovely hand to the engaging show. So, whether you already Dunnit, or you've never Dunnit, see this season's show to catch Who Dunnit this time!

Raised bed gardening is a great idea if you have poor soil conditions, but think carefully before opting to install them if your soil is already of a high quality.
There are some disadvantages as well as advantages to building a raised bed vegetable garden – which I've covered below.
Control Over Your Soil
Gardeners often find themselves locked into a constant battle with trying to improve poor soil. With raised bed gardening, you can side-step this often frustrating problem and gain total control over your soil.
It is achieved simply by building a raised area directly on top of your native soil. The only exception to this is if you are intending to grow acidic-loving plants on chalky/lime based soils.
A raised bed vegetable garden can be aesthetically pleasing too, but they do need a bit more looking after than regular 'growing in the ground arrangements.
One of the main disadvantages most gardeners will talk about is the fact they dry out very quickly, so you will find yourself needing to water them more often than the rest of the garden. The deeper the beds, the more water you will need. Therefore if you do decide to dabble in the raised bed vegetable garden option, perhaps investing in a good sized rainwater butt – or several of them, might be worth considering, or perhaps a porous hose system.
Raised bed gardening does mean you can achieve higher crop yields with some types of vegetables, especially if the bed is quite deep. Weeds are usually less of an issue too, but are not eliminated altogether. Raised beds are also good for those finding they are less agile than they used to be, as you don't have so far to stoop when tending them!
The advantages of a raised bed vegetable garden:
* They enable you to sidestep any poor-soil issues you may have
* You get to control the type of soil you use
* You can achieve high yields with the right crops
* Fewer weeds and pests
* The soil warms more quickly in the spring time, giving you a longer growing year
* They can be built from scrap materials – so do not have to be costly in their construction
* They can be aesthetically pleasing
* The soil tends not to get compacted
* Earthworms will find their way into the soil to help you
* They drain excess water away efficiently
* Building cover frames can be done easily
* They can be combined with square foot gardening methods to maximise yields
The disadvantages of a raised bed vegetable garden:
* They can dry out quickly & require more watering
* They can be awkward to dig
* The costs of soil to fill them & materials to build them (if not already available)
* Wood constructed raised beds eventually break down & rot
Get Started on Building Your Own!
If you decide to go for the raised bed gardening option, the construction can be as simple or as complex as you wish to make it.
I have created a page on this website where I cover the topic of constructing raised bed gardens, and show a video of me building the beds I use in my patio garden. I've also written another article on the raised bed garden.

Long-term Bonds Yields are down after yet another US #HousingSlowing report (New Home Sales for FEB -6.1% year-over-year).
So I want to take this green day (in the Long Bond) as a selling opportunity as I am officially concerned the Fed makes yet another Policy Mistake (either raising rates in April or signaling they're raising in June in the April statement).
The US Dollar has done nothing but go up this week post multiple Fed heads making hawkish statements, and there's obviously a lot of market risk in that (see "reflation" on Down Dollar trades for details!).
While the Fed shouldn't be raising rates into a slow-down (remember what happened to markets post the DEC hike), that doesn't mean they won't. One of the biggest markets risks has always been the Fed's forecasts.
This isn't a "sell all" call on the Long Bond. It's a book some gains call as you've had a great YTD being long TLT instead of SPY.

After placing fifth in one of the most competitive Indianapolis 500's in recent history, Buddy Lazier has been retained for a minimum of two added Indy Racing League IndyCar Series races with two-time series champs Panther Racing.
Lazier will plot a Dallara/Chevrolet/Firestone entry - number yet to be determined and commercial partners as yet unannounced - at the nighttime Nashville Superspeedway contest on July 16th where Lazier recorded a victory in 2001 and in Chevrolet's back yard in Michigan on the 31st.
According to team co-owner Doug Boles, "We knew we wanted to do more races with Buddy after Indy. His talent is unbelievable, particularly for a guy who hasn't been in a car since May of 2004," he said.
"We're hoping to do more races with Buddy before the end of the season but we've got to get some financial backing to make it happen," Boles indicated. "We (the five owners of Panther Racing) have committed our own funds in this endeavor and Chevrolet has added their support."
Lazier has eight IndyCar Series victories on his exemplary resume and was the 1996 Indianapolis 500 winner in addition to taking the championship in 2000, all with Hemelgarn Racing.
"Buddy has won a lot of races for us over the years," acknowledged Chevrolet director of racing Joe Negri. "It was a no-brainer to include him in the Chevrolet family at Indianapolis and we hope to get more wins together before the year is up."
GM Racing has announced it will leave the Indy Racing League after the end of the 17-race 2005 season but Panther Racing, the sole team using Chevrolet power is hoping good results may change the giant automaker's mind. "Never say never," Negri shrugged but did not embellish.
Lazier, of course is "thrilled by this opportunity because I know Panther Racing is one of the best in the sport. Their five team owners have a passion for this business and their four or five engineers work so well together," as he discovered during the month of May.
"It seems," Lazier reflected, "that as competitive as the IRL is these days, multi-car teams are a big advantage. This is one of the best opportunities I could hope for." The veteran has taken IndyCar Series rookie Tomas Enge under his wing and has assisted him in adjusting to the League and, in particular to the intricacies of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"Tomas isn't a rookie in racing and he's a huge student of the sport. He studies it all," Lazier explained. "If there were ten books on driving at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend, I'd guarantee he'd read them all! I really like his attitude and his synergy with this team."
As for his own future with the Panther Racing team, Lazier believes "I will have a chance to win both of these races just as I had a car that could win at Indianapolis," he said.

Yeah, I'd hate me too. Please forgive me; I thought I uploaded the final chapter! But then I got a review saying to upload the last chapter recently, and I was momentarily confused. When I checked…sure enough, there wasn't a final chapter! Yikes! So, I'm sorry! I've edited this chapter to make it SO much better than it was, so, can we call it even? *Hides from angry reviewers throwing rocks and other sharp objects*
So, enjoy!
Chapter 11: Definitive Fire
"Dad, I'm sorry. It was all-"
"Don't start, Jazz. We'll talk to you later." Maddie interrupted.
"We're extremely disappointed in you, young lady." Jack agreed. Jazz looked down at the floor dejectedly, nodding her head slowly and walking to the kitchen.
"Good luck, Danny." She whispered as she passed her younger brother. "I'm so sorry."
He watched his sister walk away, unwilling to meet his parents gaze. I'm in deep shit. I wonder if I should just tell them the truth? Well, half truth… He hesitantly looked up, biting his lip. Where to begin? A loud knock at his door distracted him from his thoughts. He nervously looked at the door, then back to his parents.
"…Should I get that?" He timidly asked.
"No. You stay here, we'll answer it." His mother replied tartly. "Come on, Jack." The couple left the room, and Danny let out a sigh of relief. He heard his parents talk to the unknown guest, but couldn't discern any of their conversation. A few minutes later, his parents returned to the room, and Dash followed close behind.
"Dash?" I choked out, swallowing back my fear, and fleeting hope.
"Yes. Your friend told us exactly what happened, and why you refused to tell us the truth." His mother began. "And while I appreciate your honor, it simply isn't acceptable to lie to us. And to have Jazz play along…" She clucked her tongue. "Grounded. For the next two weeks. And no buts."
"Yes, mom." Danny said quietly.
"And because you're going to be grounded for such a long time…why don't you spend tonight with your friend?" Jack suggested. "Right, Maddie?"
"Mm, I suppose." She smiled. "Just don't be out too late, honey."
And so his parents left, leaving him alone with Dash. His bully…his deepest crush. He quietly approached the taller boy, hesitantly looking up. "Let's go for a walk." He suggested, and without waiting for a response, he was out the door.
"So, what? You came to apologize?" Danny asked quietly, wishing he had thought to bring a jacket. It's quite cold… He turned his gaze towards Dash, who was refusing to make eye contact.
"…Yeah." He said briskly, picking up his pace. Danny frowned and stopped.
"Well?" He raised an eyebrow. Dash sighed loudly, and turned to Danny.
"I'm not just sorry for today." He said quickly. "Not just for the fight, not just for this year. For everything. Every rotten thing I've ever done to you. The hell I made you suffer through every day. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize what I felt for you sooner…" He moved forward and wrapped his arms around the leaner teen. "Can you forgive me?"
Danny sighed deeply and slowly untangled himself out of Dash's grip. "Yes, I can forgive you…" He began slowly, looking up at the jock's confused face. "But honestly, an apology doesn't fix everything. Yes, I like you…There's an attraction between us." Dash perked up at that. "But…I need time to heal. I want to see if you really have changed. And even then, I might not…" He trailed off uncertainly.
"What do you mean…?" Dash asked slowly.
"I mean that…I'm going to date Kwan." Danny replied. "I want to see where things go with him. So, I guess that…well; don't wait around for me, okay? We might end up together…we might not. To tell you to be my back up in case Kwan doesn't work out wouldn't be fair." He closed his eyes, doing his best to hold his tears back. "I'm sorry, Dash. I hope we can be friends." He leaned up and placed a kiss on the jock's cheek before hastily running back to his house. I'm so sorry.
One Year Later
Dash watched Kwan and Danny walk past his house venomously. He hated the fact that Kwan had won Danny…but he needed to prove to Danny that he had changed, that he deserved at chance. And for Danny, he could do just that. He didn't go out of his way to compliment the relationship-but he didn't condemn it either. He had even accompanied them on a few dates. Maybe Danny can sense my disdain for it? Sure, it had been a year. He was so sure he could forget about the scrawny teen. But he couldn't. He was simply in love with Danny.
He sighed and turned away from his window when the couple finally disappeared from his sight. It was such a horrible feeling. Torn between hating the fuck out of the situation…and actually being glad that he's with someone that makes him happy. He clenched his fists. I guess I could never do that. He looked at the only picture he had of Danny- - a slightly blurred picture that he had taken on his phone, printed and framed.
"No matter how long it takes…even if it doesn't happen at all…I promise I'll wait for you."
Not much of an ending, I know (Just a little angsty!) I thought it would be a nice twist compared to the ever present "Happily Ever After". It's a little hopeful (I love how devoted he is to Danny. It's cute) So, I hope you all have enjoyed this story (And I'm SO sorry that I didn't realize my mistake sooner.) Thank you for keeping with this story, and being loyal to me (though I don't deserve it).

The trailer for Lauren Alaina's movie 'Road Less Traveled' has been released!
The Boot selects the best-dressed stars at the 2017 ACM Awards.
Lauren Alaina has come a long way since her debut album, Wildflower, in 2011. In an exclusive interview with Taste of Country, the rising country star reveals that she poured her blood, sweat and tears into her new project, Road Less Traveled, and how it reflects her growth of the past several years.
Luke Bryan's Huntin', Fishin', & Lovin' Every Day Tour will include six opening acts over a summer-long trek that reaches both coasts and focuses on outdoor amphitheaters. Bryan announced his 2017 tour plans on Tuesday (Jan. 23) with a fantastic throwback video, premiered exclusively on Taste of Country. Duck hunting was involved, but not the kind you're thinking of.
Country artists can't resist getting their photo taken with Santa — and sometimes they even dress as the bearded man (or woman).
I can't tell you how excited I am to have Lauren Alaina headlining the Greeley Stampede Good Morning Guys Habajeeba Good Time Variety Happy Hour Comedy Show at the Union Colony Civic Center in Greeley, January 27th presented by Colorado Crude Carriers and Advantage Bank.

One of the coolest things about the last couple of years in country music is the resurgence of the ladies on the charts. There was a time you were hard pressed to find five ladies making hits and now the chart is full of talented gals. I am so glad my friends in radio woke up

One of the best books ever written!!! Enjoyed by kids and adults!!!
Salamandastron Brian Jacques Slice! Another gruesome death to a rat happened with the swipe of a massive long sword. Urthstripe, the great badger warrior, was in battle. His long patrol hares and he were fighting the massive hoard of Ferhago the assassin, an evil blue eyed weasel, outside their mountain home, Salamandastron. His hares were firing rapid arrows at countless rats, weasels, stoats, foxes, and other vermin, while he was in the middle of the battle, killing all bad creatures around him, that belonged to the evil army. The excitement continues in the Brian Jacques Salamandastron. Urthstripe, the badger warrior, lives in a mountain called Salamandastron, with his long patrol hares to serve him. He is a good king and likes to see all creatures happy. While Urthstripe rules, his adopted badger daughter, Mara, that he found in the woods one day, is not happy living in Salamandastron. Mara and her best friend Pikkle Ffolger, one of the long patrol hares, decide to escape. Then, they make for it, in the morning after they pack provisions. * * * A little farther down the river from Salamandastron, a place called Redwall sits right in the middle of Mossflower woods. It too is a peaceful place, with lots of peaceful creatures such as Mice, voles, porcupines, moles, otters, squirrels, and other nice woodland creatures. Samkim, a squirrel, and Arula a mole, are two troublemakers. They go around messing with others and are constantly making life harder for the other creatures. When two mysterious stoats come by, they are welcomed to Redwall. The very next morning though, a valued sword is taken from the abbey, the one that belonged to all warriors from generation to generation. Samkim and Arula decide to go after the sword and retrieve it, no matter where they go, who they meet, and what position they will be put in, even if it means life or death. This book made me feel intense and anxious at times. Surprisingly, I like the feeling of anxiety and intensity when something bad is going to happen. What I really liked about this book was that there were so many intense parts in it. It also has so many different events, that you have a really large range of feelings during the book. It made you change moods in a really short amount of time. At different times the book made me feel happy, sad, angry, anxious, intense, interested, annoyed, disgusted, humored, puzzled, and many more. Overall, this book was great and fun to read. I would really recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about adventure, and lots of battle. Also I would say it's fantastic for both genders, but I would recommend it for about 9 and up readers, because it has some blood and gore in it. It is amazing too if you enjoy reading about three or four different perspectives. This is an adventure and battle book, and it is from the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. The theme of this book is to stick together when times are tough, and enjoy yourself while you have freedom. It is also about learning the characters and feeling like you are right beside them as you watch them grow up and learn lessons they will use forever. --- Thomas Moore Jacques, Brian, and Gary Chalk. Salamandastron. New York: Ace, 1994. Print.
In the prologue to this fifth novel of Redwall, Ferahgo the Assassin, a weasel, has killed the badger lord Urthound and his wife Urthrun, leaving their two babies, one striped and the other white, to die of starvation. But do they die? Chapter one opens after many long seasons. Ferahgo and his Corpsemakers have slowly moved northward and are determined to capture Salamandastron, ruled by the badger lord Urthstripe and protected by the hares of the Long Patrol. However, Urthstripe's daughter Mara runs away with one of the hares named Pikkle Ffloger. Ferahgo's son Klitch tricks the two, and they are almost captured by the horde, but they escape, only to be deceived by a lizard named Slinkee who leads them to a group of cannibal toads under King Glagweb. However, they are rescued by Log-a-Log and his shrews, and together they set out to find the Blackstone, symbol of leadership among the shrews, which is now in the possession of the white "ghost badger" who lives on a mysterious island in the middle of a large lake. Their plan is then to head for Salamandastron and help in the fight against Ferahgo. Meanwhile, at Redwall, two deserters from Ferahgo's army, Thura and Dingeye, are taken in, but after they accidentally kill Brother Hal they escape with the sword of Martin the Warrior, intending to return to Ferahgo. A young squirrel named Samkim and a molemaid named Arula set out after them. Shortly afterwards, however, the abbey is plagued with Dryditch Fever, so the otter Thrugg and his little friend Dumble, a dormouse babe, set off for the Mountains of the North, ruled over by the golden eagle Wild King McPhearsome, to find Icetor Flowers which are said to cure the fever. After Thura dies of Dryditch fever and Dingeye is killed by the fox Dethbrush, whom Ferahgo had sent out to find them, Samkim and Arula, along with another group of shrews under the leadership of Alfoh, chase after Dethbrush, who now has the sword and is trying to escape in a boat through the same lake where Mara, Pikkle, and Log-a-Log have gone searching for the Blackstone. Will Samkim and Arula recover the sword of Martin the Warrior? Will Mara and Pikkle get the Blackstone back for Log-a-Log? Will Thrugg and Dumble return fever cure in time to save Redwall? And what will happen in the battle for Salamandastron? Some people may find the plot a little confusing, because the chapters go back and forth describing the activities of Urthstripe and Ferahgo at Salamandastron, of Mara and Pikkle on their journey as they look for the Blackstone, of Samkim and Arula in their search for the sword, of the Redwallers as they deal with the Dryditch Fever, and of Thrugg and Dumble seeking the Icetor Flowers. However, the story is told so well, in Jacques' inimitable style, that this should not be too much of a problem for most readers. The "veiled curse du jour" of this particular Redwall book is "hellsteeth." There are also a few common euphemisms and childish slang terms, such as gosh, darn, and "frogsbum." Otherwise, it has the usual strong sense of good versus evil, with no lack of villains to overcome and a host of quaint characters, such as Furgle, Tubgutt, Nordo, Spriggat, and Rocangus, to work together in overcoming them—and a few surprises along the way. I especially liked the way that Mara eventually comes to understand the truth, even though in the end it's too late to do anything about it. That happens in real life sometimes. I enjoyed it.
I enjoy reading Redwall books. All of the books touch my heart and have a way with me. I am an animal lover! I love these Redwall books and totally recommend them!
A fun to read book about animals that live like people and have a large war over the mountian Salamandastron. The main characters are Mara,Urthstripe,Ferahgo,Pikkle,Log-a-Log,and Thrugg.The story is split up into three parts, redwall,Salamandastron,and Ferahgo (who travels). Ferahgo is the antagonist, Redwallers and Salamandastron beasts are the protagonists.
This was the first Redwall book that I read way back in 1993 and I have been a fan and in love with the series for all these years. I can always count on the Redwall books when I am having a hard time in life and when things are going great. Salamandastron holds a special place in my heart because it was the first Redwall book I discovered. I love the way the feasts and food are described and I love how the good guys are good and the bad guys are bad. I love the descriptions and the writing style and I will be a fan of these books for the rest of my life. These books are real treats to read and welcome treasures for any bookshelf.
Want to read an action packed book and see who wins the war of good versus evil? Salamandastron a fantasy adventure store is full of mystical creatures, chaotic battles, and jaw dropping secrets. The author Brain Jacques use suspense, foreshadowing, to set the mood of this story. In this story badger King Lord Urthshripe and his loyal fighting hares have to protect Salamandstron, his mountain fortes and home and sanctuary, from Ferahago a sly and evil weasel with his army of rat's stoat's foxes and other villains to try to take the great badger treasure from the mountain. Urthsripe is a large badger who is very strong and have won many battles before protecting salamandastron, His fellow hares like Sergeant Sapwood and Oxeye are fearless and great in battle, Sergeant Sapwood was king boxing champion of salamandstron. Sergeant Sapwood and Oxeye and good friends of Lord Urthshripe that agree to watch over his daughter while she is on her adventure. Mean while Lord Urthshripes daughter Mara and her trusty companion and dear friend Pikkle have run away from salamandstron after a fight with her father and after escaping Ferahargos horde are on their own adventure to try and help save their home. Mara is your typical teenage girl I mean badger she gets emotional and is defiant of her father and runs away but she also has hidden strength that she never knew she had that she uncovers along the way that comes in great use. Salamandstrons neighboring friendly Red wall is also having some trouble as well; they have found the great ancient sword of Martin the Warrior there hero and inspiration during a thunderstorm but are soon stolen by two of ferahargos stoats. Two of the youngest but bravest redwallers aurla and samkin have gone out on an adventure to recover the sword of martin the warrior, full of danger but with friends the overcome many obstacles. Samkin and aurla are best friends that stand up for one another and watch each other's back; Samkin is the one who finds the sword of Martin the Warrior during the storm on the festival of name day. Samkin and Aurla decide it is there job to set out and take back martin's sword from the villainous horde that took it from them in the begging. Ferahargos is a weasel with big blue eyes and is one of the most feared assassins alive, his horde is full of villains that are scared of him and he motivates him by making examples of certain individuals in the story witch become fatal. This book is full of suspense for example there will be an epic battle scene and someone might be right about to die and then it will shift gears over to what's happening in red wall, it definitely keeps you reading to see what's going to happen next. Overall this is my favorite of the red wall series just because I am sucker for all the blood and guts and big battles scenes and I enjoyed reading it. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy adventure with lots of action-packed battles. I give this book a thumbs up.
