How far along are you on your virtualization journey? Most organizations already have more than half of their systems virtualized and are currently virtualizing their most business critical applications.
Now you are facing the challenge of keeping your ever-expanding virtual environment protected while providing the required service level for the business critical physical systems. Managing two separate isolated environments increases complexity and introduces potential for gaps in the data protection strategy if not carefully planned and implemented.
A poorly planned data protection strategy will not only increase risk to the data but will also consume more storage, restrict your recovery options and increase the time spent managing the environment. This is why it is important to understand the options and pitfalls when building a data protection strategy for virtual and mixed environments.
Host-level Integration and Virtual Machine optimized...
Backup Exec 2012 was released a couple of months ago, and almost immediately people started complaining. Check the forums for some very long posts. To many it missed the mark, while to Symantec, it addressed a number of new features it introduced that people might have asked for.
People had gone from a working environment with BE 2010 for instance, to something they no longer understood using BE 2012 where the focus was now no longer on resources, but on a server-centric basis.
Fast-forward a couple of months, and the long complaint queries have died off a bit. EIther people are no longer upgrading, and waiting for Backup Exec 2012 R2, or they're learning to deal with how BE 2012 now does things. In doing so, they're essentially working through the issues and changing their mindsets.
This is where my topic is addressed...is early adoption of new software worth it?
You're only as good as your last backup...or your last restore is the old adage...
I'm excited to have a guest Blogger Rudy McNeese and the Heathrow, Florida office join the Countdown to Better Backup. Today we opened the launch countdown window for Instant Disaster Recovery with P2V and B2V.
With this capability Backup Exec 2012 will expand add two new key capabilities, physical to virtual conversions, known as P2V, as well as the ability to backup to virtual format, known as B2V.
The P2V process utilizes parallel data streams to store backup data from a protected server to a Backup Exec 2012 server while simultaneously sending the same backup data, in the form of a virtual machine, to a virtual host in the environment for both VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments.
The result of a P2V operation is a fully recoverable backup set as well as a fully functional virtual machine that can be used for permanent virtual conversion operations as well as warm failover, disaster recovery scenarios.
The B2V...
Why Roseville?
We started the NetBackup and Backup Exec launch sequence this week with the release of the Countdown to Better Backup Calendar. This was modeled after the idea of an Advent Calendar. Every few days we will open a new window to reveal a new feature of the launch calendar leading up to the product launch. As part of the launch effort each square on the calendar will open in a different city worldwide. This helps us reach our customers and partners in cities around the world and it gives us a chance to bring together all the people who have worked on the release.
Often in marketing it is hard to deliver technical information to the end customers. Everyone is busy, and there is so much noise online it is hard for product announcements to reach customers. One just needs to post a question on LinkedIn asking...

I noticed an interesting tweet today from Rachel Dines @Forester. It quoted Carl Meadows @SungardAS.
"Common misconception: cloud solves our sys admin problems. Wrong! Cloud requires more skilled sys admins."
I have been thinking about this a lot lately as I drive down 101 to Mountain View from SF. Each day someone gets in a fender bender and traffic continues around them. Sure, life is disrupted but it's par for the course. Sometimes car accidents happen. As I drive south I also pass under SFO. Each day 100s of planes take off. The expectation is that these planes will almost never have an accident. They are piloted by highly trained pilot while the car on 101 is piloted by someone like you and me.
Cars are like servers. Planes are like Clouds.

If you are interested in participating in this usability study, please click here to view available session times. The sessions are offered at various times from June 21st, to June 24th.
This is your opportunity to help shape the future of Backup Exec.
We have seen some bombastic marketing over the last several months in the data protection space. One vendor stuffed 26 women in a Mini Cooper, and Veeam called platform proliferation "the next big thing" when they announced intentions to deliver Hyper-V support in December of 2011 – despite it being available for the past three years from Symantec. Let's cut through noise and look at some of the underlying facts.
Innovative, Established and Proven
• Over 15,000 companies already leverage Symantec's Backup Exec for Hyper-V support. What Veeam has announced has been in the market for 3 years with Symantec Backup Exec.

Does Anyone Know Anything about a "Gem Soak"?
I've been exploring "my world" so to speak and I encountered a refining Packing Slip form which asks the question, "Does your refining include a "gem soak"?"
So I am pondering this matter relevant to any rocks and stones that I may happen to find in the local area. One Google mentions cleaning them in a gentle soap and then brushing the rocks behind them...hmmm... I believe the trick is to be able to identify a gem from it's normal ordinary rock-encrusted appearance, but I will be looking at this. A looong time ago, Brother Al told me an odd thing to do. To crack Marbles, you boil them in hot water, then pick them out of the water with a spoon and drop them into a bucket of ice water. But What for? Cracked marbles aren't very stable or useful, though they do look pretty sometimes. But as for gentle soaps, would that be enough to break off the encrustations which hide the gems? Or would it take a dangerous Acid method to dissolve the rock and then not even find any gems at all? Hot Dang! There was a Travel Channel program a couple of years ago about gem hunting in Cali and they showed these low-slung triangular stones which, once you knock off the encrustation of rock around it, returns a fine California gem. I've actually seen these (rarely) but sure enough, once I knew it, they were gone. Haven't seen a single one of these since watching the program! |
my mom used to crack marbles by rolling them around in a hot cast iron frying pan
it takes about fifteen minutes and you must keep them moving lest they shatter due to built up heat |

News release from the Missouri Lottery
A Granby man claimed the $250,000 Missouri Lottery prize from the July 31 Mega Millions drawing. Frank Forichette, 52, bought a Quick Pick ticket for his birthday, but after thinking about it, decided to get his own numbers as well. His numbers matched all five white-ball numbers to win him the $250,000 prize.
"I decided to play on the 31st because it was my birthday," explained Forichette. "It's just numbers I've been playing for a while."
He bought the winning ticket at Snak Atak, 752 Valley St., in Granby. The winning Mega Millions combination on July 31 was: 5, 18, 21, 29 and 41.
"I play Mega (Millions), Powerball, Lotto and Show Me the Cash," joked Forichette. "I don't do Scratchers. I never win on them."
He won big playing Mega Millions. This is the 24th $250,000 prize won in Missouri since sales began for the game in 2010.
"I used to just play Powerball," he said. "I picked the numbers off it and put it on the Mega."
Happy with the win, Forichette said he would use the money to "pay off bills" and "fix up my house." He explained that his home still needs repairs from a 2008 tornado.
Forichette, who makes concrete molds for lawn decorations, told his boss it wasn't enough to retire, but he was going to keep playing.
"Just keep playing," he advised other players. "Eventually it will pay off. It's worth a buck."
Mega Millions is a twice-weekly Draw Game with jackpots that start at $12 million. Drawings are held on Tuesday and Friday nights. For an extra $1 at the time of purchase, players can add Megaplier® to their ticket and increase non-jackpot prizes by a Megaplier number. The $250,000 prize for matching all five white-ball numbers becomes an automatic $1 million with Megaplier.

McMurray on Twitter: Catch the latest from the driver of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/Allstate Chevrolet by following McMurray's personal Twitter account, @JamieMcMurray.
Indianapolis Recap: McMurray reported from the onset that the handling on the car was a hand-full. From the first pit stop the team would make some major adjustments to find the handle on the car, trying different strategies to gain track position. The handling on the car would make major swings from tight to loose, creating a difficult challenge for adjustments. McMurray had the Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet as high as ninth-position during the race, however in the end the team would be credited with a 22nd-place finish.
Previously at Pocono: Earlier this year at Pocono, McMurray qualified his No. 1 Banana Boat Chevrolet 11th and quickly moved up to the front of the field, where he led three times for 14 laps. McMurray would end up finishing 10th, gaining nine positions in the final 15 laps.

Montoya on Twitter: Catch the latest from the driver of the No. 42 Target Chevrolet by following Montoya's personal Twitter account, @jpmontoya.
Indianapolis Recap: Montoya had his sights set on becoming the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400. The No. 42 started in the 12th position and almost immediately radioed in handling concerns. With limited cautions and long green flag runs, the Target team brought the car down pit road as much as possible for adjustments while staying within their fuel window. The Target team would settle for a 21st-place finish at the end of the day. Earlier this Year at Pocono: In the first Pocono race of the 2012 season, Montoya started 17th and brushed the wall when the green flag flew. The 42 would travel down pit road multiple times for repairs and adjustments and, after some clever fuel strategy, would come home 17th.
Montoya at Pocono: In his NSCS career, Montoya has made 11 starts at Pocono. Montoya has one top-five and four top-10 finishes, with his highest finish being second in 2009. He has completed 1,971 laps out of a possible 2,070 laps, or 95.2 percent, and has led 46 laps. Montoya's average start at Pocono is 15.5, while his average finish is 18.5.
Striking Gold: Nine years ago this weekend (August 3, 2003), Montoya won the Mobil 1 Grand Prix of Germany. Montoya was the class of the field, leading 66 of the 67 laps on his way to victory.
A Visit to Target House: Montoya, along with Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Dario Franchitti, will make a visit to Target house on Tuesday, Aug. 7. They will spend time with children who are undergoing treatment at St. Jude children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Created in 1962, Target House is an innovative approach to long-term housing for families with children who are currently receiving treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This unique facility enhances the quality of life for its residents, who benefit from the privacy of family apartments, as well as common areas that help families interact with one another while at Target House.
Aim for the Bullseye: Be sure to stop by Target for all your race-day supplies. Visit Target at the Pocono Commons in Stroudsburg, Pa on your way to the track this weekend. Call ahead at 570-426-1050 to make sure they have what you need.

Austin inspired our fine start, says Burnley keeper Heaton
11:30am Saturday 26th October 2013 in Football By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
CHARLIE Austin may not have kicked a ball for Burnley in 2013/14, but goalkeeper Tom Heaton believes the striker has still played a part in the Clarets' success this season.
Austin went through the whole of pre-season under Sean Dyche only to leave for today's opponents QPR two days before the campaign began.
He seemed set to move on earlier in the summer after Hull City had a £4.5million bid accepted, only for the deal to collapse after a medical.
But Heaton says it was the manner in which Austin responded to the dramatic setback which set the bar for Burnley's positive approach this season, and served to inspire them to carry on without last season's top scorer.
"When the Hull thing didn't quite go to plan he came back in and he really impressed me in terms of the attitude he showed after his dream Premier League move hadn't quite come off," he said.
"Two days later he was back in with us and he was absolutely brilliant.
"He was training like nothing had ever happened, he still had that bit between his teeth and that spread a little bit.
"You think 'fair play to him' and everyone fed off that.
"I can imagine it was tough for him, without knowing the ins and outs of what happened at Hull.
"We all know football sometimes throws these strange things at you and you don't know quite what the full story is.
"But in the short time I was here with him, physically he as a specimen to me and a top player and I think he's gone on to show that to be fair."
He added: "He impressed me in terms of what he did with the move not quite going to plan. The lad's done brilliantly over the last couple of years, a Premier League move fell through at the last minute and he came back all guns blazing.
"I thought that was a fantastic attitude and mentality to take, and I think that probably spread among the lads so when he did eventually go we just kept going.
"So in some ways he helped us.
"When he eventually went we just carried on the ball rolling."
And Heaton is hoping to stay on a roll with the Clarets this weekend, after describing Burnley's surge to the top of the Championship as his best spell in football.
The 27-year-old played in the League Cup final for Cardiff against Liverpool at Wembley in 2012.
But the summer signing said his new club's form has topped that experience.
"Very much so," he said. "I think it will be difficult to move away from that.
"We're flying high and putting in some great performances but at this moment in time this spell in the season has been the highlight of my career so far.
"It's brilliant. We've played some good football and got some good results and we've had a bit of momentum so hopefully we can keep that going.
"The important thing is we want to make the season a highlight, that's what we're all trying to do.
"There's no patting each other on the back, it's all about that progression and development and keep moving forward, but on a personal note this is where you want to be, at the top end of the table, and that's what we're looking to do."
Burnley have the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the Championship to five points against second-placed QPR today.
"There's an excitement looking forward to the game, two teams who have started the season well, but we're going about it like any other game we've set about this season," said Heaton.
"We're ready to be at it and be competitive in the match, make sure we put our authority on the game and go at it with the energy and ability we've brought this season, and if we do that we'll give ourselves a great chance to do well.
"We'd back ourselves against anyone at the minute, irrespective of wage bills, how much money they've spent and how much money we've not spent, whichever way you look at it.
"We've got a great mentality, a great atmosphere."

WATERLOO — Hanukkah may be a Jewish festival, but for Rabbi Moshe Goldman, its message is universal.
"It speaks to freedom of religion," said Goldman, who directs the Rohr Chabad Centre for Jewish Life in Waterloo. "It speaks to the power of light over darkness.
"It's really a lesson that everybody can and should take to heart."
And that's why, for the fourth year, the centre is bringing a Hanukkah celebration to Waterloo Public Square for everyone to share.
On Dec. 9 — the second night of Hanukkah — the square will be alive with the sights, sounds and smells of the eight-day Festival of Lights.
Visitors will enjoy live music, taste traditional treats like potato latkes and doughnuts, and, weather permitting, skate to the beat of Hanukkah songs. A nearly five-metre (16 foot) menorah will be lit during the celebration, and there will be crafts for children and Hanukkah goods for sale.
People will get the chance to meet local athlete Caroline Alpert, who will be representing Canada as she competes in tennis at the 2013 Maccabiah Games — what Goldman describes as "Jewish Olympics for teens and youth." Alpert will be selling raffle tickets for an original oil painting in an effort to raise funds for the Canadian Maccabiah team.
Visitors can also get their photo taken with Judah the Maccabee, the central historic figure at the heart of the Hanukkah celebration.
As Goldman relates, Hanukkah essentially celebrates two major miracles that occurred nearly 2,200 years ago.
The first was a victory by Judah the Maccabee and his forces over Greek influences that Goldman said left little room for traditional religions like Judaism.
When they retook the temple in Jerusalem, they found only enough oil to keep their lamps lit for one day. But in the second miracle, the oil lasted for eight days, until new supplies arrived.
To commemorate those events, observant Jews light nine-branch menorahs. The central holder, called a shamash, is used to light the other eight candles and serves as an extra light.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. Donations of new, unwrapped toys will be accepted for a toy drive supporting Israeli children.

Female PNG pilots
September 21 2006 at 1:48 AM
Wednesdays cover picture (news paper) was one of an inspiration to many silent young girls in school. As a male countryman, i was deeply moved and love to see ladies in the cockpit. Wanbel em stap.
If the US, France etc can have female fighter jet and gunship pilots, and Japan can have a JAL (national airways) female pilot.....PNG can do it to by its pace.
GO the PNG young female(s)!

September 21 2006, 9:36 AM
I am a male student pilot currently employed in PNG and training towards my Private Pilot Licence in Australia. I was fascinated by the front page picture of the ladies in the cockpit. I am not planning at all to get my commercial but seeing the ladies in cockpit of a Dash8 now motivates me to get my commercial pilot licence after PPL.
Congratulations Bona & Haggar!!

Did Telikom Pay for these Flying Lessons ?
December 9 2006, 8:46 PM
Greetings All
I also read the news about two PNG ladies who had become pilots for major airlines. Is there any truth to the rumour that Telikom PNg paid out substantial sums to a flying school to put one of these pilots through flying school. Why would they do this ??? Rumor is her dad was a high-flying executive with the local telephone provider

who cares who pays to train pilots
December 10 2006, 1:50 PM
who care's about who pays, if some orgs did then the bottom line is the sponsor is honoring its community service obligations.
see what we got? pilots to serve the national air lines.

December 12 2006, 3:18 PM
I do that's who. The problem in this case wasn't the young lady who benefited from this financial windfall, but instead her father who was able to use his considerable influence to have company funds applied to pay for her flight training !!
Respond to this message
anon that cares
December 12 2006, 4:06 PM
well, all top ranking officers in certain org are on contract and most contract conditions includes school fees... but if you know any corupt deals in regard to this case.
then start another thread and we shall discuss. however i still take ma hat off to the woman pilots in this story
Respond to this message
School Fees - what school fees
December 15 2006, 12:54 AM
I'm not sure that most employers would accept that the cost of flying lessons qualify as a school fee. Certainly the PNG tax office should have intervened and classified this benefit as income, which should have been subject to normal income tax charges!!

the tax man got his cut from the aero school..
now are you happy?

Well no I'm not happy at all. I would have thought the girl's father would have been responsible for this tax obligation. Anyway, you have me interested when and how much in tax did the tax man collect from the aeor club for these flying lessons ?

It may encourage other companies to invest in the education of our future generation
October 27 2012, 3:12 PM
Why is it a problem that the young female pilot gained her wings.Its good for PNG to have more female pilots.More organisations should sponser the education of our young ones.Most importantly we need more tradesmen and women.There are too many Uni graduates but we need skilled people in all facets of life to carry out the day to day jobs.You should be encouraging instead of trying to sniff a rat when perhaps theres nothing corrupt there .Her dad's position enabled her to have her fees paid.Pls find something positive to contribute.Thats why our country is in disarray as there are too many negative people.We need to encourage and help each other.Let the girl go and fly an aircraft.

Mammography is an x-ray examination of the breast used to detect and diagnose breast disease, primarily in women. The goal of mammography is early detection of breast cancer. Early detection has been shown to reduce mortality, or death, from breast cancer. Very often detection is possible before a lump or mass is able to be felt by touch (palpable).
Florida Hospital Waterman is proud to introduce our newly renovated mammography suite and the addition of Digital Mammography units. These units, produced by the company Hologic, offer the latest technology in solid-state detectors which produce images on computer screen rather than x-ray film, allowing the radiologist to observe increased contrast and detail in the tissues.
From the patient's perspective, the examination is essentially the same as traditional mammography, including compression of the breast to obtain a quality exam. There is no need to wait for films to be developed, therefore exam times are faster, which means less time spent in the breast imaging suite.
Florida Hospital Waterman has obtained accreditation by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. The only mammography provider to have obtained accreditation in Lake County, this designation signifies that Florida Hospital Waterman provides these essential services to the community at the highest standards of the radiology profession.
We offer a team of expert physicians and oncology nurses, and many of our patients participate in clinical trials that are specific to breast cancer – which means that our patients are often among the first to benefit from the latest treatment options and state-of-the-art technology.
At the same time, our approach is intensely personal and individualized – and patients are included in the treatment planning process every step of the way. Every patient has access to our Breast Care Coordinator, Jacqueline Barrett, R.N., who provides a comprehensive assessment of each patient's emotional and education needs, provides them with support, and can assist in rapidly scheduling appointments with our expert physicians.

What shall we bless?
What shall we bless? Clergy are asked to bless all sorts of objects and beings, from Parrots to toilets, from shipyards to oranges and primroses. Writing in the Guardian, the Rev. David Chance wonders why the Church of England's hierarchy is so unwilling to bless those entering into civil partnerships – men and women who want God's blessing on their commitments.
A good and relevant question.
What do we bless?
What should we bless?
Toilets, insects ... but not civil partnerships
By the Rev. David Chance in the Guardian (UK)
I have been asked to bless ships at Appledore shipyard, lifeboats, the new bridge over the river Torridge, school buildings, cars, trains, private homes, homes for the elderly and handicapped, undertakers' offices, local and county councils, a church toilet, pilgrims, new babies, gardens, a shoe shop, the dying, pets (parrots, horses, cats, dogs and stick insects), countless wedding couples, oranges at Christmas and primroses at Easter. All this I did happily, thinking God, through the C of E, was blessing people and their concerns with his non-judgmental love. So why is the C of E leadership seeming to be so unwilling to allow clergy to bless civil partnerships – men and women who want God's blessing on their commitments?

This is my first food related post, so I'll start off by introducing my standards with a simple inequality: Asian food ≠ cheap Chinese takeouts.
I absolutely love food and I strongly promote the authenticity of cultural foods. That means no General Tso's chicken—which by the way was actually invented in the United States and virtually unheard of in China—or the like. I have a strong aversion to seafood dishes, but I am very open to trying out anything "fish-free"—especially desserts. With that said, if you don't recognize what these are, you're definitely missing out!
These little pink rice cakes are called mochi (餅) and originated in Japan. They are so deeply rooted in the Japanese culture that there is a special ceremony around New Year's dedicated to making mochi! But of course, one can enjoy them any time of the year. Literally meaning "cake" or "biscuit," mochi are made of glutinous rice, coupled with an assortment of fillings. For example, the ones in the picture are probably strawberry flavored, but I've seen green tea, taro, vanilla, chocolate, and even durian flavors!
Nor are they limited to fruity fillings—mochi ice cream anyone? We can even enjoy mochi with soup and other traditional Japanese dishes, as long as we modify them to suit more savory tastes.
Today, they are widely popular not only in Japan, but also in Korea, Taiwan, and even southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and the Philippines. Is it too much to say that mochi is a little taste of heaven? Perhaps not. :)

Frerotte's health still in question
Gus Frerotte (Christian Peterson/Getty)
Posted Dec 9, 2008
The Vikings plan on starting Gus Frerotte … if he's healthy enough to play, according to Vikings coach Brad Childress. But that determination could take until later in the week.
Despite the fact
Tarvaris Jackson
helped rally the Vikings to a 20-16 victory over the
Detroit Lions
on Sunday, coach Brad Childress said
Gus Frerotte
remains his starting quarterback.
That's assuming, however, that Frerotte is healthy enough to start.
Frerotte suffered what the Vikings are only calling a "lower back injury" late in the first half at Ford Field and had to be replaced by Jackson. The Vikings trailed 6-3 at halftime and Frerotte had thrown two interceptions against a team that had only two all season entering the game.
Childress was vague Monday when asked who might get the start this weekend at Arizona. "Not sure. We're day to day," he said. "I just left Gus in the locker room. Obviously, (he's) very sore. But he's been sore before. He's looked like that moving around before. So we'll see where he's at when we get to Wednesday."
Jackson, meanwhile, has earned praise for his performance. Benched after the Vikings' lost their first two games of the season, Jackson completed eight of 10 passes for 105 yards with a touchdown and had a 143.8 passer rating. That scoring pass, an 11-yarder to tight end
Visanthe Shiancoe
, capped a 90-yard, 11-play drive in the fourth quarter.
"Tarvaris did a great job. A great, great job," Childress said. "We just want to see who will give us the best opportunity to win and obviously health will be a factor in that. We all know that the backup quarterback is usually the most popular guy, although early on I'm not so sure that that would have been the combined assessment here. But whoever gives us the best chance to win when we get to later in the week."
Darren Sharper
said defensive tackles Kevin and
Pat Williams
felt vindication for being able to get a victory Sunday after a federal court allowed them to keep playing despite the fact the NFL had suspended them four games apiece for violating its steroid policy. "I think they did and both guys don't want to be a distraction at all," Sharper said. "That's why one thing they said is that they apologized for the fact that it was a distraction. We didn't think it was but they apologized if it was. They just want to play football. That's all they're worried about is being the best two defensive tackles in the league. Today they went out and tried to prove that and they played well."
Adrian Peterson
was impressed with how Tarvaris Jackson played in relief of Gus Frerotte on Sunday after the veteran suffered a bruised lower back late in the second quarter. "He did a great job stepping in," Peterson said. "I wasn't surprised. I see him time after time in practice making big plays and making good throws and things like that. You never know what's going to happen in a game, so that's why even if you're not starting, your backup has always got to be prepared. He's been doing a great job preparing himself to be able to step in if we needed him. That's what he did (Sunday). He came out and did a great job."
Vikings defensive tackle
Kevin Williams
on the Vikings having a one-game lead over Chicago with three games remaining in the regular season: "Three NFC games left, they're all big. I mean, we hold our own destiny. It's in our hands. We win these games, and we're definitely in the playoffs. That's what we've got to take care of. Next week, we've got Arizona, and that's what we've got to focus on."
Jared Allen
, already playing with a shoulder injury, hurt his left knee when he was blocked low in the first half against the Lions. Allen admitted he thought the injury might be season-ending at first but he was able to continue wearing a sleeve-like brace on the knee. He finished with two sacks and almost certainly won't miss any time.
Aundrae Allison
was active Sunday after sitting out for the first time this season the previous week against Chicago. Allison did not catch any passes but he did return one kick for 18 yards and also got an opportunity on one punt return. Allison's role has become cloudy in that he isn't used much at receiver and he isn't atop the depth chart at either return position.
Anthony Herrera
played with a heavy heart Sunday. Herrera missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday after his oldest brother passed away. Herrera returned to the team on Friday and made it clear he wanted to play. He ended up throwing at least three key blocks in the victory and admitted although it was very difficult to play it was what his brother told him to do.
Darius Reynaud
, who has taken over the Vikings kickoff return man, underwent an MRI on his big toe Monday. Results were not immediately available. Reynaud was injured in Sunday's game at Detroit but continued to play.
S Darren Sharper led the Vikings in tackles for the first time this season, getting eight in the victory over the Lions. He is the third defensive back to lead the team in tackles in a game this season, joining cornerbacks
Cedric Griffin
(twice) and
Antoine Winfield

The partnership/investment page just launched and we'd appreciate it if you checked it out!
This year AZ Productions turned some heads at the Davey Awards. We won 5 Awards in total and we have to admit it feels good.
Submitted by our sister company, Assurance Advertising Agency, it came as a complete surprise to us and we are excited and humbled by this prestigious recognition.
Here are the awards we won.
2012 Silver Award: The Comeback Kid – Marketing Effectiveness – Film/Video/TV
2012 Silver Award: Love Like Magic – Online Film and Video – Music Video
2012 Silver Award: The Comeback Kid – Film and Video – Copywriting
2012 Silver Award: The Comeback Kid – Film and Video – Videography/Cinematography
2012 Silver Award: AZ Film Studios Blog – Websites – Branding
The Davey awards are something like the Oscar for up and coming Ad Agencies. A David versus Goliath contest in advertising if you will. Every year thousands of submissions are sent in just to be recognized as a small agency or freelancer that does big things.
When we started working on the Luxor account we knew we had to do something that spoke of our creative style, and were extremely effective and stayed within budget. No small task by any means. Luckily we had a team of people from Luxor, Assurance and especially our own wonderful crew to make it go brilliantly.
A special thanks go out to Brian Villim, cinematographer extraordinaire. Director Ali Zamani had been working with Brian for over four years so when this project came up he was adamant about using Brian behind the camera (not that there were any objections). We never could have won the award for cinematography without him and hope he knows it.
These awards don't belong to just one member of the AZ, Assurance or Luxor Las Vegas & MGM/Mirage families… but to everyone who worked on the projects. Our teams worked fast and diligently even with twelve to sixteen hour days and little to no sleep. Bravo, gang.
Thank you to everyone who worked on these projects. Thanks to the Luxor for trusting us with your account and thank you to Assurance for landing the account and developing the concept, and a special thank you to the Davey awards for recognizing our efforts.
Now, it's on to bigger and better!
Producer Zeus Zamani and the writer and director of You Got Served bring you: Battlefield America
[..]LeeLee is a talented young musician who knows how to bring it to a video!
When working with AZ studios on her Boom Bada video (which currently boasts over 34,000 views on VEVO) she couldn't help but shine on camera in her own tough-yet-sexy sort of way. Her voice is sweet to the ears and the production behind her is sure to get any club up and jumping.
After a little research I found out that this interesting lady started out singing in church! She then went on to be top of her class at the world-renowned performance art academy she attended in her youth. More recently she's worked with artists like Baby Bash and Jimmy Klev! I knew there was more than met the eye with this girl, so I coordinated an interview to find out what makes her tick.
Q: What originally got you into music and how long have you been making it?
LEELEE: I stumbled on it somewhere between church and school. I guess you can say I've been making it ever since I could get my heart broken (in middle school).
Q: Where is your hometown?
LEELEE: I like to think I have two. I grew up in Santa Monica, California; and beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada.
Q: Who are your main musical influences?
Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and anyone else who's doing what they love day in and day out while still keeping it exciting. Beyonce works amazingly hard, Rihanna is sexy and fun, and Lady Gaga has turned her music into art. I want all these things to rub off on me in my career. (The talent not the ladies. Haha!)
Q: Who or what has influenced your life to take on this highly competitive career?
LEELEE: All the people who believe in me! That, and the fact that I am in love with what I do! To me it's a no brainer, it's just what I do.
Q:What problems have you run into in your musical career?
LEELEE: Not many, but the game is hard. I have to constantly remind myself that I can do it—motivate myself. Like most people, I want to make my family proud and do well. But the one thing I've had to learn along the way is that in this business you have to take the good with the bad. Not everyone will like what you do or create. I just try and remind myself that I'm doing the right thing in my heart, even if some people don't agree. Like my beloved Mark says: "You don't want to look back and think 'I should have tried'."
Q: Where have you triumphed in your career?
LEELEE: My greatest triumph is and will always be my music, which is a direct representation of me. I'm very proud of what it has allowed me to achieve and where it has taken my life. I also feel I triumph every time I influence the people listening to my music to dance, or cry, along with me. I love my fans more than they love me.
Q: What motivates you?
LEELEE: My family, my fans, and my heart.
Q: What are you planning for the future?
LEELEE: I plan to grow and change with every piece of music I put out. I want to be a work of art, just like my music. And most of all I want to have fun. So…I guess what I'm trying to say is: some amazing surprises are in store! So stay tuned!
I can honestly say that everyone here at AZ can't wait to see what she does next.
I absolutely love the book The Rum Diary by Hunter Thompson. Actually, I like everything I've ever read by Hunter Thompson. If you're like me, then you were amped when you first heard that Johnny Depp was working on this project. And now it's finally here.
If you haven't read it, then know that the book is a wonderful romp through the mind of a young journalist who has, for better or worse, taken a job at an English Language paper in Puerto Rico. Being that this book is based in the late 50's/early 60′s there is a strong theme illuminating ever so subtly: the colonization and exploitation of Puerto Rico. But still holding true to the Gonzo style there is plenty of realistic/vivid drunken debauchery and excitement throughout.
The movie was re-written for the screen by Bruce Robinson and I feel he did a fairly good job considering this is a Hollywood interpretation of a book from a wildly creative and brilliant mind.
I feel as though Robinson kept as much of the integrity of the book as possible, without freaking out the studio heads, which in-turn turned it into a more typical Hollywood story. Trying to market to the tastes of the general movie going public is hard, and more so when it comes to Thompson's no-holds-barred style. So I applaud Robinsons work.
Robinson also added some psychedelic scenes which aren't in the book for those Fear and Loathing fans that are sure to inundate movie theaters with their loud and obnoxious drug abuse.
If you have read the book, you know that the love interest in this story was not only a secondary focus but far less "Hollywood." This was my biggest disappointment with the movie. The book was nothing close to a love story, but that's pretty much all you get with the movie. I guess this is to be expected considering two hours is not much time to get an audience intrigued, but that doesn't make me like this aspect of the movie in any way, so it's a moot point.
My favorite part of the movie was seeing the character interpretations by some of my favorite actors. The cast was excellently picked, specifically the role of Sala (played by Michale Rispoli). I don't think anyone could have played the roll better.
My overall opinion on the movie is that it's great. This film is filled with adventure, conflict, romance and intrigue that every movie go-er will find worthwhile. But if you want this film to go from great to amazing: I've heard tell of a game being played all over the country that can get it there. And it involves actual rum.
Now, I'm not condoning getting drunk in public but the rules go like this: sneak bottles of rum into the theater and take a shot every time the characters in the movie drink. I may or may not be telling you this first hand, but "they" say you're wasted by the end and you feel far more in touch with the movie. Make sure to bring a designated driver or go to a theater near a bar.
The book, as usual, is far better. I recommend you take a peek when you get a chance; it was, after all, written by one of the greatest writers of his time.
Then make sure you hold your sweetheart tight as you watch Somebody Help Me 2, produced by our very own Zeus Zamani!
With a seriousness that rivals that of a general in war, Zeus prides himself on getting productions done with the least amount of problems and as close to under budget as possible.
But what is it that makes him tick? How does he keep going in such a competitive field? Well, why don't we ask him!
I've been producing since 2006, so it's been almost 6 years. My first project took me and my brother, Ali Zamani, to Sweden to shoot parts of a feature film he had written and was planning to direct.
1) I've always loved working on projects; the satisfaction of seeing an idea develop into a living/breathing entity has always been great for me!
2) There are no two projects that are exactly the same; as a producer you can never "see it all"! The new challenges and obstacles you face are never ending, making each project I work on an enlightening adventure.
3) The human contact, interaction and networking aspects of the film industry are all things I definitely love and have always excelled at.
A big part of being a producer is the ability to understand and appreciate the importance of relationships with other individuals. In this industry you must embrace the fact that every single individual and position is just as important as the next.
I don't really have three things but, if anything, I would have to say it's that as a producer you never 'clock off'. It's a lifestyle commitment rather than a job, which is fine 90% of the time, but I wish I could just clock off now and again!
Every single project has had its own great memories and experiences; however there is definitely a couple that spring to mind. Producing the video for Tyler the Creator was great in that we had to order large hissing cockroaches, stage a vomit and even a suicide by hanging. That stuff is just fun to me.
The biggest challenge to date I would say was producing the feature film project "Battlefield America". This is a dance movie which we spent 2 months in pre-production for, and shot in 27 days.
I worked for an average of 14 hours per day without a single day off in that period. Every day presented itself with logistical challenges and obstacles so it was a huge learning curve for my career.
Overseeing a large budget production, 15 million to be exact, and managing my personal crew of about 50 members was definitely not easy! Working with children was also definitely no piece of cake as anyone in the industry can tell you. So many restrictions, rules, laws, etc.
But – we were able to come through and complete it. It's now being screened at various studios (I am not allowed to say which ones) and will hopefully be released theatrically January or February of 2012!
The plans of the future definitely include producing more feature films, including a project written by and directed by my brother, Ali Zamani. We're planning to put together projects which involve shooting in different parts of the world and would need collaboration with production companies/producers in other countries.
If you would like to get more information on upcoming projects feel free to leave a comment below.

"Let's speculate here. The Blueshirts could still use a proven center who can also play wing.
Sharp is 6-1, 200, and 27, from Thunder Bay like the Staals. He can skate and has good hands. 26 goals in 61 games and a bunch of points in the playoffs. 36 goals the year before.
Sharp is pricey, due $3.9 million for each of the next three years."

The following large transition arrived 1968, when the requirement for speed offered much better than the size facet of slot cars. I mean ,, slot cars had been designed to become exact miniature replicas of actual full-sized race automobiles. It was not lengthy prior to the slot car version of notion automobiles caused what had been known to as "Thingies" Non scale wield searching slot cars that had been more aerodynamic that something scale. Lower, more compact wheels, colored tires, sleeker lines. Kids especially loved these. The Cox LaCucaracha is genuinelya classic situation of speed over scale. There is no such real vehicle. A genuine person will not have room to sit down in this vehicle they are driving it.
It was when technology joined into slot cars. The motors switched within the popular and cheap imported Mabuchi to purpose built domestic motors. Every component was considerably better during these motors. Actually. By 1970, motor theory arrived at it's peak. The physics principals understood and created had been amazing. Appropriate now, individuals secrets haven't been relearned. A minimum of I haven't seen anything created today that convinces me anybody knows things i am speaking about.
Chassis had been hands built. They had been produced from brass and steel. The designs had been innovative and sophisticated. The slot car tracks during the day had been not produced to assist speed like today. Tracks in those days had been produced to be challenging in order to require extensive participation through the slot car driver. Track proprietors loved it to because they offered plenty of lucrative track time since practice was required for racing success.
Because they tacks had been bumpy coupled with drop-offs inside the straightaways, heavy automobiles with effective motors to drag them had been the best way to get slot cars to make use of gravity his or her ally to cope with the rough parts without slowing down to much.
When the scale aspect was background and speed required over, the recognition of slot cars required an enormous hit. By 1972, the hobby was almost dead. With speed comes a higher cost. Fads always wane and technology always advances too rapidly for individuals with limited budgets.
The most important changes inside the 1970′s had been initial a switch within the large size D can motor up to the more compact C can motors from Mura and Champion mainly. The 2nd was the arrival of air control. This is actually the addition of the front spoiler, a rear diaplane, and 2 obvious sheets of mylar mounted on both sides from the slot cars body. This trapped air above the top your body and triggered an enormous quantity of downforce.
Inside the 1080′s, motors got more compact and lighter still. Trinity introduced polymer magnets to marketplace which had cobalt contaminants inside them. Not just had been they sensational looking they has a lot more than two times the effectiveness of ceramic magnets during the day. Next was the Proslot cube cobalt motor. These really permitted chassis to obtain lighter and lap occasions to decrease. The first problem with one of these motors might be that the cobalts would often find and suck up any pin or metal debris about the slot car track leading to it appropriating up and baking. Essentially, everybody, especially track proprietors would need to become more conscious of losing metal bits.But another critical change was inside the tracks Hasse Nilsson found the states and began building softer more banked versions from the famous American Blue King. Unfortunately this typed the demise from the beautiful formica on the sides tracks because they are mostly in landfills today. Lap occasions dropped again.
This cycle of lighter slot cars and softer tracks ongoing and that we have about peaked in performance today. A very light vehicle, with air dams or without easily stays on the modern swoopy cradle tracks. The benefit are only able to be acquired in motor and vehicle prep, not in driving ability. What this means is very high costs, for stock beginner classes.
Slot cars have produced it even with the worst of financial systems. Today there's a diversity of choices. There's extreme scale slot cars from Europe. There's blinding speed air control "wing cars". You will find semi scale, non wing automobiles that almost resemble automobiles similar towards the LaCucaracha.
Slot cars today come in 3 different scales
H.O. Or 1/64 scale. OK I am well aware HO is not 1/64 scale it is 1/87 scale. But in terms of slot cars what is called HO is 1/64. These do have a professional commercial element with companies like BSRT but it is truly unknown to most. HO is mostly relegated to wacky sets that climb wall that kids get for Christmas. These are technically slot cars, but because the use magnetism instead of gravity.
1/32 slot cars have taken up the scale mantle. Carrera, Scalextric, Ninco, Slot it and Fly are all out of Europe. These slot cars have decent motors, hard plastic molded bodies and are more scale accurate than anything from the early 1960′s. Computer controlled graphics application to the bodies and modern factory technology, allow these truly scale slot cars to be sold in America imported for $50 to $80. These are more toys than commercial, and they do use magnets because of crude one piece plastic chassis. However they dominate slot cars as a hobby today in rec rooms and garages across the country. Organized series are common among home track owners. We will be covering some of these.
Parma has been producing metal chassis, lexan bodied 1 32 slot cars for 4 decades. They continue today to produce the best selling ever womp womp. Now it is hard to say this is a scale slot, they are all semi scale. But this is the slot car that kids can still likely afford. All remaining raceways should always have a womp racing program. Unlike the plastic magnet cars out of Europe which can't run on a King track, these are made for it. Champion was making a similar car called the Thumper but Parma has since acquired Champion. JK is another manufacturer that makes a semiscale 1 32 slot car for big tracks. It is an anglewinder and a bit more expensive.
1/24 slot cars are what gives this hobby excitement. This is where all the technological development takes place. The big commercial tracks run many classes of these. There are too many variants to list so I will just talk about the root of each class.
Wing Cars – these are the blindingly fast air dam equipped racers built for speed. Absolutely no illusion of scale. They range in price from $100 for the low tech beginner cars to $700 for the latest super lightweight open car the professionals race. All wing cars are very easy to drive. With the application of a tacky petroleum substance nicknamed "glue" these slot cars can be dialed in to not require any modulation of the hand help controller at all. Most though will have to "blip" the controller a couple times per lap at the tight turns. Most wing cars require several motors to be used per race. Motors can cost $400 each. The motors must be reconditioned after each race to remain competitive. This is high dollar racing and is the equivalent of F1 in auto racing.
Production Cars – these slot cars are commonly nicknamed "flexis" after the flexicar that Parma first made popular. These characteristically have a 2 piece soft steel chassis with the pan section floating on top of the center section. Many manufacturers produce a version of this type chassis and offer ready to run car. These use semiscale Lexan bodies of about any type of car you can imagine. NASCAR, American Lemans, street cars, high downforce wedge, or F1/Indy. Bodies are available in thicknesses .007, .010, and sometimes .015, .020 or ,040 for rental bodies. All are lighter than injected molded plastic bodies. These are the bread and butter of slot car racing. They are still affordable, and simple enough to work on for most.
Eurosport/semiscale open – these are essentially wing cars without the side dams that use high downforce wedge bodies. The chassis are spring steel, and have a little movement. Nothing like the articulated masterpieces of the late 60′s. These two are very fast and require a budget similar to that of open wing cars.
Hardbody – This type of slot car can be found running at most raceways. You have to custom make the chassis and buy a model to have one of these. Or buy one from someone who can build. The other option is to fit a model body to some commercially available chassis that require some adaptation. Spectators enjoy watching these because they look much more like cars and are slow enough to actually watch race. Drivers enjoy racing these because even on todays easy tracks, a hardbody slot car must be drive in every turn.
