On Saturday, April 5, Bayville Mayor Douglas G. Watson stood at the clock tower on Bayville Road and Ludlum Avenue to announce his bid for re-election, and introduced three trustees running for open spots on the Village Board.
Running along the Taxpayers Party of Bayville, Inc. line, the slate of candidates for trustee includes Kathryn Caulfield, Joseph Peniagua and Gregory Reisiger; each are seeking a four-year term. Watson is seeking re-election to a second four-year term.
"We didn't just pick them out of a hat...this was carefully discussed, they are well-qualified and we welcome the chance to run as a team and win the election," said Watson.
"As a veteran of 18 years as a trustee and four years as mayor, I have experience to navigate the village through these difficult times and look forward to support myself and the whole team," said Watson. "The Village of Bayville has been a great place to live and raise my children and I want the opportunity to complete some projects that will leave Bayville even better than it is today."
The election is expected to be contested, though the opponents have not yet been announced.
Watson mentioned some of the recent projects completed in the village and said, "We only want the best for our residents, that's why we do the work we do."
"I've known Doug a long time, and as mayor, he grew in the position...he's gained knowledge and the contacts he has are phenomenal. It's an honor to serve with him," said Trustee Timothy Fay, who was in attendance along with Trustee Peter Valsecchi, Jr. to show their support.
Sunday, 23 November 2014 00:00Driving rain and an early start time did not deter 600 people who arrived at Crest Hollow Country Club recently to celebrate the Women's Fund of Long Island's 20th year and to honor four exceptional women.
The breakfast started with a meet and greet and a chance to showcase Women's Fund contest winner Patti Hogarty, designer of "Women as Bamboo." Inspired by her neighbor's bamboo, she entered the contest drawing a design of the bamboo, which Ambalu Jewelers of Roslyn then turned into various pendants of which 40-percent of the profits would go to WFLI. Hogarty wrote a short essay comparing women to bamboo in that they are strong and can weather difficult storms, yet remain graceful and continue to grow sending out new shoots.

Oyster Bay High School Principal Dr. Dennis O'Hara addressed the board of education at Tuesday night's meeting about offering a summer school program at the high school. It would be the first time the district had a summer school program in more than 12 years.
Dr. O'Hara explained that with the institution of the Common Core state standards, students are faced with a greater level of academic rigor and more challenging coursework. The program would offer remedial and enrichment classes for students both in and out of district.

In the history of Oyster Bay High School athletics, no one has ever won a Girls' Tennis New York State Championship. Celeste Matute and Courtney Kowalsky became the first when they won the 2014 New York State Doubles Championship in Latham on Nov. 3. What makes this tremendous achievement even more remarkable is that Matute is a junior and Kowalsky is a sophomore.
The girls, who are usually singles players, teamed up to take on the very best players in Nassau County and New York State. They won all 10 matches in the section XIII and NYSPHSAA tournaments and left Latham as the 2014 New York State doubles champions.

California governor unsure legal pot is good plan
California Gov. Jerry Brown said he is not sure legalizing marijuana is a good idea in his state because the country could lose its competitive edge if too many people are getting stoned.
California Gov. Jerry Brown said he is not sure legalizing marijuana is a good idea in his state because the country could lose its competitive edge if too many people are getting stoned.
If pot smoking gains more legitimacy in the nation's most populous state, Brown said he worries it could have negative ripple effects.
"The problem with anything, a certain amount is OK. But there is a tendency to go to extremes," he said in a wide-ranging interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." ''And all of a sudden, if there's advertising and legitimacy, how many people can get stoned and still have a great state or a great nation?"
Californians voted to legalize medical marijuana in 1996. But Brown said he is watching closely to see how Colorado and Washington handle their new laws that go a step further by regulating the growth and sale of taxed recreational marijuana at state-licensed stores. Colorado's pot shops opened Jan. 1, and Washington's are expected to open later this year.
"We have medical marijuana, which gets very close to what they have in Colorado and Washington. I'd really like those two states to show us how it's going to work," he said. "The world's pretty dangerous, very competitive. I think we need to stay alert, if not 24 hours a day, more than some of the potheads might be able to put together."
Brown, who was interviewed remotely from San Francisco, also discussed California's drought problems, climate change and his future political career.
Now, as he prepares to run for his fourth term as governor, Brown said that despite his progressive politics, the key to turning California's budget deficit into a projected multibillion-dollar budget surplus was exerting fiscal discipline.
"You've got to be tough on spending. No matter how liberal you want to be, at the end of the day, fiscal discipline is the fundamental predicate of a free society," he said.
Brown also mused about the Democratic Party's future, saying he favored a Hillary Clinton bid for president in 2016.
"She's got more experience, both domestic and international," he said. "I mean, it's her nomination if she wants it, as far as I'm concerned."

Woo hoo!!! I finally found nutty today! After so many reviews on mua praising it's glory I went on the hunt for it. Walgreens is discontinuing these single shades at least here in SF they are so they are all marked down to $1.29 final clearance! Which means no store had more than like 2 and were in Blanc (shimmery white) or an emerald green. Maybe. Then today low and behold I found the last 1! it was meant to be. Hey I paid the price going to like 15 walgreens to find it!
All I can say is WOW! Satin taupe from Mac I used to wear all the time but when I ran out I didn't buy it again as I try not jot spend a lot on eye shadows. So I switched to other colors but I have missed it. This one is the closest one I have ever seen! And it's sooooo pigmented!!! I swatched it on my hand as soon as I got home and it was amazing even without a primer or base! I can't wait to use it! It's so creamy too and blends super awesome. The color is sooo pretty. I am in love with it!! Go get it why you can. I think wnw is doing some changes to their products and packaging (I hope so at least!) so in case they change their colors or formula this is. MUST have!!

I won't say too much because the important points have been covered by other reviewers. This eyeshadow is high-quality, but it is NOT neutral. On my yellow-toned NC15-ish skin (think really light East Asian), it shows up as a very reddish muddy taupe with frost. Not neutral at all, and absolutely unattractive against my skin. However, I'm giving it a high rating because of its good quality and lack of fall-out.

Like a few other reviewers, I bought Wet 'n' Wild's Nutty Color Icon shadow clearanced at Walgreens. I'd seen a lot of great reviews for it here at MUA, but had never picked it up, based on past experience with taupe shades. I'm glad I gave this a try.
As a fair-skinned redhead, it's difficult to find a taupe shade that doesn't disappear on me or make me look washed out, but Nutty is an exception to that rule. It's a warm taupe that looks shimmery (but not too shimmery) and "glowy" on my lids. I pair it with a dark brown liner (usually NYC Waterproof liner in Dark Brown), a couple coats of L'Oreal's Volumious mascara, and I'm good to go.
I took off one lippie because, despite using a primer underneath, this shadow does not last more than 6 hours at the most before creasing and fading. But for the price, I'm almost ashamed to complain.

Perfect taupe for everyday. If I'm heading out to dinner after work, my eye makeup only consist of Nutty, Sigma E25 brush, mascara and UB 24/7 Liner in Bourbon.
Lunch date with friends, all you need is Nutty and some Mascara, and there you have it, simple doe eye!
This is a must have Taupe for everyone!
It's a shame that Wet'N'Wild is not available in Australia.

I bought a couple of the singles when they were being clearanced out of Walgreens, I think to make room for new Wet n' Wild products, since they are still stocked at other stores.
This is a lovely taupe shade. It applys smoothly and has a nice texture. It is powdery, which can be expected from such an inexpensive shadow. I frequently use this as a one color wash when I am getting ready for work and don't have much time for an eye look.
I hate the way this is packaged. Mine does not open easily and I usually need to use the end of my comb to pop it open. I suspect this would shatter easily if dropped.
Such a beautiful taupe color, it has a slight shimmer and great pigmentation. I got mine at Walgreens for I believe $2, one of the best shadows I have for the price. awesome low end product!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This colour is gorgeous and a great dupe for MAC satin taupe. The formula is super smooth and pigmented, however, I don't find myself reaching for this too much. When I do I love it because it is absolutely stunning. Overall, this is great: awesome price and product, but it hasn't hit HG status for me yet.
When I first started getting into makeup I never would have guesed Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadow would become an HG for me. I thought I would at some point only accept Chanel and Guerlain. Well, 8 years later I do not own eyeshadow from either company!
I am just amazed at how such an inexpensive eyeshadow could have such multi-dimensional pigment and look good on such a wide range of people. I can hardly complain about the packaging considering the price and it deosn't matter that much to me, but FYI: it does tend to crumble away easily out of the packaging. If your careful (unlike myself) this shouldn't happen. Without a doubt, I will continue to buy this!
UPDATE*** I just have to add that the other day I couldn't find my beloved eyebrow pencil and had to leave the house in 5 minutes so i grabbed this with a little shadow brush to fill in my brows! I SWEAR my brows looked better that day than they had in a long time! Who knew
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Amazing colour, mild shimmer, great texture... Lovely, and very useful... I've been using it in different looks, eg pinks, greens, etc.. it makes them more polished
This is a BEAUTIFUL taupe color. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but its an EXACT DUPE for Nars Ashes to Ashes. I owned the Nars eyeshadow before i bought Nutty and thought, huh, they seem like they would be similar. They're not just similar, they're exactly the same and to be honest, I prefer the Wet n Wild version's texture more. Its softer and creamier and a tad more pigmented. LOVE THIS COLOR and its dirt cheap (1.99 but I got mine 40% off at Rite Aid which came out to be something like a dollar and change). GO GET IT!!!

I rarely buy more than a few bottles during each trip, but the Loco Vino, Furnance Mountain Red and Otium are some of the best Virginia wines I've had.

Posted December 04, 2012 on AP on Fox
FIFA President Sepp Blatter says he is ''deeply shocked'' by the death of a Dutch volunteer linesman who was viciously beaten by a group of players after a youth match. Richard Nieuwenhuizen died Monday, a day after he was beaten and kicked by players from Amsterdam team Nieuw Sloten following their match at Buitenboys, a club in nearby Almere. Three Nieuw Sloten players, aged from 15 to 16, have been arrested for alleged involvement in the beating. No charges have yet been filed. Blatter says that violence is a problem in broader society that can show up on football fields. But he adds that football ''is a force for good,'' thanks to ''the example set by the tireless efforts of people like Mr. Nieuwenhuizen.''

OneCloud Software: DR For the Masses
With the advent of server virtualization, many adopters erroneously think that disaster recovery (DR) is a problem of the past. They cite the ability of the hypervisors to replace the two most common yet imperfect DR choices: 1) infrastructure replication to a secondary replica site – fast to restore but very expensive, or 2) economical tape backup with off-site long-term storage – economical but slow to recover from.
The reality is that while server virtualization has certainly helped the industry get closer to simpler and less expensive DR products, DR still remains one of the major challenges for IT. This is especially true for applications that fall somewhere between the most mission critical where RTOs and RPOs of a few seconds is needed (and cost is often no object) and those that find RTOs and RPOs of a day or two to be adequate. Today, DR products available for these "intermediate" applications are few and far between, especially when overall cost of DR is considered.
The missing piece so far has been a cost-effective DR solution with excellent RTO and RPO for the majority of business applications -- without requiring a secondary site. OneCloud steps into the gap by replacing that expensive site with the hyper-scale public cloud. This Profile will discuss how OneCloud works to extend the primary data center onto the cloud, and how this impacts the ease and speed of VM recovery.
What Admins Choose For Performance Management: Galileo's Cross-Domain Insight Served via Cloud
Every large IT shop has a long shelf of performance management solutions ranging from big platform bundles bought from legacy vendors, through general purpose log aggregators and event consoles, to a host of device-specific element managers. Despite the invested costs of acquiring, installing, supporting, and learning these often complex tools, only a few of them are in active daily use. Most are used only reactively and many just gather dust for a number of reasons. But, if only because of the ongoing costs of keeping management tools current, it's only the solutions that get used that are worth having.
When it comes to picking which tool to use day-to-day, it's not the theory of what it could do, it's the actual value of what it does for the busy admin trying to focus on the tasks at-hand. And among the myriad of things an admin is responsible for, assuring performance requires the most management solution support. Performance related tasks include checking on the health of resources that the admin is responsible for, improving utilization, finding lurking or trending issues to attend to in order to head off disastrous problems later, working with other IT folks to diagnose and isolate service impacting issues, planning new activities, and communicating relevant insight to others – in IT, the broader business, and even to external stakeholders.
Admins responsible for infrastructure, when faced with these tasks, have huge challenges in large, heterogeneous, complex environments. While vendor-specific device and element managers drill into each piece of equipment, they help mostly with easily identifiable component failure. Both daily operational status and difficult infrastructure challenges involve looking across so-called IT domains (i.e. servers and storage) for thorny performance impacting trends or problems. The issue with larger platform tools is that they require a significant amount of installation, training, ongoing tool support, and data management that all detract from the time an admin can actually spend on primary responsibilities.
There is room for a new style of system management that is agile, insightful and empowering, and we think Galileo presents just such a compelling new approach. In this report we'll explore some of the IT admin's common performance challenges and then examine how Galileo Performance Explorer with its cloud-hosted collection and analysis helps conquer them. We'll look at how Performance Explorer crosses IT domains to increase insight, easily implements and scales, fosters communication, and focuses on and enables the infrastructure admin to achieve daily operational excellence. We'll also present a couple of real customer interviews in which, despite sunk costs in other solutions, adding Galileo to the data center quickly improved IT utilization, capacity planning, and the service levels delivered back to the business.
Field Report: Nutanix vs. VCE - Web-Scale Vs. Converged Infrastructure in the Real World
This Field Report was created by Taneja Group for Nutanix. The Taneja Group analyzed the experiences of seven Nutanix Virtual Computing Platform customers and seven Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) Vblock customers. We did not 'cherry-pick' customers for dissatisfaction, delight, or specific use case; we were interested in typical customers' honest reactions.
As we talked in detail to these customers, we kept seeing the same patterns: 1) VCE users were interested in converged systems; and 2) they chose VCE because VCE partners Cisco, EMC, and/or VMware were embedded in their IT relationships and sales. The VCE process had the advantage of vendor familiarity, but it came at a price: high capital expense, infrastructure and management complexity, expensive support contracts, and concerns over the long-term viability of the VCE partnership. VCE customers typically did not research other options for converged infrastructure prior to deploying the VCE Vblock solution.
In contrast, Nutanix users researched several convergence and hyperconvergence vendors to determine the best possible fit. Nutanix' advanced web-scale framework gave them simplified architecture and management, reasonable acquisition and operating costs, and considerably faster time to value.
Our conclusion, based on the amount of time and effort spent by the teams responsible for managing converged infrastructure, is that VCE Vblock deployments represent an improvement over traditional architectures, but Nutanix hyperconvergence – especially with its web-scale architecture – is an big improvement over VCE.
This Field Report will compare customer experiences with Nutanix hyperconverged, web-scale infrastructure to VCE Vblock in real-world environments.
HP ConvergedSystem: Altering Business Efficiency and Agility with Integrated Systems
The era of IT infrastructure convergence is upon us. Over the past few years Integrated Computing systems – the integration of compute, networking, and storage - have burst onto the scene and have been readily adopted by large enterprise users. The success of these systems has been built by taking well-known IT workloads and combining it with purpose built integrated computing systems optimized for that particular workload. Example workloads today that are being integrated to create these systems are Cloud, Big Data, Virtualization, Database, VDI or even combinations of two or more.
In the past putting these workload solutions together meant having or hiring technology experts with multiple domain knowledge expertise. Integration and validation could take months of on-premise work. Fortunately, technology vendors have matured along with their Integrated Computing systems approach, and now practically every vendor seems to be touting one integrated system or another focused on solving a particular workload problem. The promised set of business benefits delivered by these new systems fall into these key areas:
· Implementation efficiency that accelerates time to realizing value from integrated systems
· Operational efficiency through optimized workload density and an ideally right sized set of infrastructure
· Management efficiency enabled by an integrated management umbrella that ties all of the components of a solution together
· Scale and agility efficiency unlocked through a repeatedly deployable building block approach
· Support efficiency that comes with deeply integrated, pre-configured technologies, overarching support tools, and a single vendor support approach for an entire-set of infrastructure
In late 2013, HP introduced a new portfolio offering called HP ConvergedSystem – a family of systems that includes a specifically designed virtualization offering. ConvergedSystem marked a new offering, designed to tackle key customer pain points around infrastructure and software solution deployment, while leveraging HP's expertise in large scale build-and-integration processes to herald an entirely new level of agility around speed of ordering and implementation. In this profile, we'll examine how integrated computing systems marks a serious departure from the inefficiencies of traditional order-build-deploy customer processes, and also evaluate HP's latest advancement of these types of systems.

As with the comics you see in any daily newspaper, a webcomic is usually completed ahead of a deadline.
Dad's Day is no exception.
I use ComicPress software to load and schedule my cartoons days and weeks ahead of time.
This is called a "buffer" in the biz.
It comes in handy when life's unexpected surprises pop up!
But, occasionally an idea for a cartoon comes to mind that you feel is soooo cool that you can't wait to draw and show it to the world!
Today's is just such a 'toon!
I had a "Halloween" themed cartoon in the "can" and scheduled for today, but while glancing over my Facebook newsfeed yesterday, I saw a picture of a young lady and her Halloween costume and suddenly I had a new idea for today's comic!
So I quickly began the process of replacing today's scheduled cartoon, with this new idea!
I wrote it…
Sketched it out…
Inked it…
Used a little Photoshop magic…
And bingo…
New 'toon done & loaded!
For the record…
The girl, named Grace, is the daughter of a former high school classmate of mine, who is also a Facebook Friend.
The picture was of my friend's daughter in her Halloween costume.
You guessed it…
She is going as a pilot of a hot air balloon!
It is one of the best costumes that I have seen and of course it immediately provided the "inspiration" for today's cartoon!
So a big thank you goes out to my classmate, Lindy and her daughter, Grace for today's 'toon!
I know what you're thinking…
What about the cartoon that was suppose to run today?
Check back on October 31, 2015!
Today's 'toon celebrates the 5th Anniversary of our little webcomic!
Wellll…technically 5 years & 1 day!
Dad's Day Comics launched way back on September 14th, 2009…that's 769 cartoons ago!
As always a VERY BIG THANK YOU to all of our loyal followers for making this possible!
Here's to the next 5 years!
Everyone has idols.
One of mine is Bill Amend, the creator of the comic strip, Fox Trot.
I have been a fan of his work for more years than I can remember.
I can honestly say that Bill's work has had the biggest influence on my own writing and drawing style.
So when someone of his stature throws out a challenge… you respond!
Today's 'toon is my response to Bill's "Ice Bucket Challenge" nomination of cartoonists everywhere to help raise awareness of ALS. It was my pleasure not only to write and draw this cartoon, but more importantly, to donate to the cause.
At last check, over 93 million dollars has been raised since people began pouring buckets of ice cold water over their heads!
Now that's impressive!
But, it's not too late…
If you haven't already done so, please consider helping fight this horrible disease by donating.
It is fast and easy!

In case you didn't notice, today's 'toon was a nod to one of my all time favorite comic strips, Calvin And Hobbes. It was brilliantly written and drawn by Bill Watterson from 1985 to 1995. The strip was distributed by Universal Press Syndicate and appeared in over 2,400 newspapers worldwide. In my opinion, the artwork and writing are second to none. Watterson, Charles Schulz (Peanuts) and Bill Amend (Fox Trot) are the three cartoon strips that have influenced my cartooning style the most.
So last week, while on vacation by a lake in northern Minnesota I had the time and opportunity to finally read a book that has been collecting dust on my nightstand.
The book, "Looking For Calvin And Hobbes" is written by Nevin Martell and is about his quest to secure an interview with the man behind Calvin And Hobbes, Bill Watterson.
As it turns out, Watterson has basically been in hiding since his strip ended on December 31, 1995.
He has only granted a few interviews during his career, mostly in the 1980′s and is very reluctant to do so now.
To say he doesn't seek the spotlight and fame is an understatement.
So Martell, having been a huge fan of Calvin, Hobbes & Watterson during his childhood, sets out to secure what he views as the interview of a lifetime! Along the way we hear from friends and colleagues about their experiences with Watterson.
Martell does a good job of chronicling Watterson's life and career and his love of the strip is clearly evident throughout the book.
If you are a fan of the strip or cartoons in general, I would recommend reading the book!
Some of the things I learned…
He was a struggling editorial cartoonist before hitting it big with Calvin And Hobbes.
United Features Syndicate rejected the strip.
It was a challenging working relationship with Universal Press Syndicate.
Why haven't we seen Calvin and Hobbes merchandise in stores during the years? Bill Watterson was absolutely against the merchandising of his characters. Turns out Watterson turned down millions of dollars in merchandising deals during his career. This didn't make Universal Press very happy.
Along with refusing merchandise offers, he also gave a thumbs down to an animated movie too!
With the strong success of the strip, he had enough leverage to regain sole ownership of his strip and characters from Universal Press…this helped with being able to reject merchandise offers.
He would often tear up strips that he felt weren't good enough.
He didn't seek or enjoy the fame…He doesn't grant interviews and he didn't even show up to receive the many awards that he earned during his career.
He felt very strongly that a strip should end when a cartoonist retires or passes away. (This was viewed as a jab at long running strips that have had other cartoonists carry on well after the original cartoonist was gone.)
Last Saturday I was in Des Moines to run in the Dam To Dam Half Marathon.
It is a race that begins at 7:00 AM atop a dam on Saylorville Lake north of Des Moines and ends 2 miles after crossing another dam in downtown Des Moines.
This was the 35th edition of the Dam To Dam, the seventh time that I have ran it.
However…there was one slight change this year…
Dam To Dam 2014 was now a HALF Marathon (13.1 miles)!
Traditionally, it has been a 20K (12.6 miles), but due to some circumstances with the city and the growth of the race itself, the finish area was moved to the other side of downtown and the route changed to a half marathon. This was done to help with traffic congestion associated with the race as well as a heavily attended (& very cool) Farmer's Market.
So it's a half marathon now…my second half in three weeks (Fargo Half Marathon)…I felt good heading into the race.
Some of the highlights & lowlights…
With a 7:00 start, I was was up at 4:00 AM, grabbed a quick bite to eat and left my sister's house and headed to the one of the shuttle bus pick-up spots at a nearby shopping mall.
A race volunteer misdirected arriving runners to the wrong area of the parking lot to catch the shuttle. (In his defense, it was 5:00 AM, dark and probably his first time working at that location. It did make for a slight pre-dawn traffic jam in a mall parking lot, as well as some confused looks by late arriving runners who were at the normal pick-up spot and saw full buses zipping past them and having no clue as to why!)
We made the 10 mile trip to the dam. It's always fun meeting other runners and hear their stories, plus it helps to get the adrenaline flowing! (At the packet pick-up the night before I had the pleasure of meeting the record holder in the Dam To Dam, Phil Coppess. He ran the 1985 20K version of the race in a record time of 59:23:00. He is also the record holder of the Twin Cities Marathon in a time of 2:10, so it was fun to meet him and get his autograph on a race poster.)
Okay, back to the highlights…
It wasn't raining and it was warm, which made the wait for the start of the race nice.
It was cloudy… with little shade of the first part of the course, this was a good thing!
The field was capped at record 9,000 runners this year…lots & lots of runners!
There were four people running who had ran every single Dam To Dam, the oldest was 74!
There was a breakfast burrito waiting for me at the previously mentioned farmer's market…I just had to get to it!
At 7:00 AM sharp…
We're off!
The first mile was downhill!
Okay…as promised…
A few lowlights…
It was warm…DAM warm (sorry)!
A race record start temp of 72 degrees and a dew point of 80…it was muggy!! Not good for someone who had been training in the frozen tundra of Minnesota and not yet used to the heat and humidity!
I ran the first 3 miles in slightly under 24 minutes and developed soreness in my right achilles tendon. With all of the running injuries I have had, this was not one of them! I briefly stopped and stretched and continued on, but it was sore the entire way.
It began to rain at mile 5. It actually felt good…but I knew once it stopped that it would just raise the humidity level. Also, my feet were now wet. (My goal was to finish before the sun broke through the clouds.)
There was an awfully big hill just past mile 6! Did it get bigger from previous years??? (It is also referred to as "Memorial Hill"…a cool tribute to all who have served & serves our country!)
Past the hill and into some neighborhoods that support race like no others!
To whoever was passing put the ice at mile 9…THANK YOU!!!
Mile 11…just crossed the second dam…where was the traditional finish line? Oh yeah…the other side of downtown! (Loved running down the new riverwalk…but I was running out of gas!)
Mile 12…all that was left was another DAM hill! (The traditional drum line playing about 600 meters from the finish is always a burst of energy for me!)
I made it up the hill and finished in a time of 1:57:31…good for 1,596th place out of 7,359 finishers.
I met up with my sister and brother-in-law and we headed for that much anticipated breakfast burrito!
Which was now, ONLY a 15 minute walk away!
Here is a cool video of the race…courtesy of David Mable…

Waiting out the storm proved fruitful for the new golden boy of the international community.
PARIS, France — Five years ago, Rafik al-Hariri — the billionaire Lebanese businessman-turned-politician who was prime minister on and off until September 2004 when he joined the opposition to Syria — was murdered in a spectacular terror attack in Beirut.
Right away all signs pointed to Damascus' involvement in the attack — from Syria's personal open threats to Hariri to the first results of the international investigation. This event triggered the Cedar revolution that caused Syrian troops to leave Lebanon and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to be viewed as a pariah by the international community.
Fast forward to today: Assad has become the hottest ticket in town, from Washington to Paris, from Brussels to Ankara and from Riyadh to Cairo. Everybody wants to meet him, be seen with him and get on his good side.
Syria has suddenly become the key to solving the insoluble problems of the Middle East. In 2008, Assad started his charm offensive with French president Nicolas Sarkozy who had been lending a friendly ear thanks to the constant advice and friendly pressure of Qatar to do so.
This French diplomatic move was not well-viewed at the time by the Bush administration because since 2004, France and the U.S. had worked hand-in-hand in isolating Assad. Assad knew quite well that a new incoming Obama administration would be very much inclined to reach out. Something that was just recently proved by the appointment of a U.S. ambassador to Syria after five years of void.
One of the reasons behind that overture was that Syria is the weakest link to getting at Iran and if a wedge could be driven between the two countries, then it would be much easier to pressure Tehran and decrease the mullahs' leverage on the international community.
In fact, by getting Syria to switch camps, Hezbollah and Hamas, Tehran's two most powerful proxies would be dramatically weakened. But easier said than done, Damascus is not ready to give up its alliance with Tehran. The reason why is that Iran is bankrolling Syria's economy and Assad will have to find a way to replace Tehran's funding at some point.
Signs of a real drift between Damascus and Tehran have not therefore emerged. This was a doomed policy from the start, as Lebanese MP Elias Atallah, an expert on Syria, forecast over two years ago. He explained to the French newspaper, Liberation, "Our long experience shows that, each time friendly countries try to open up to Damascus, this ends up having a negative impact on Lebanon. In reality, the relations between the Syrian and Iranian regimes are very deep. They have been allied since 1982. Whoever thinks that he can change Syria's role is simplistic. Iran and Syria can totally live with their differences. They are minimal."

Apr 4, 2013Yes, R&B is a big thing nowadays. Some people don't realize that you can be a little creative and funky in this genre. Jamie Lidell has fused R&B, funk, and electronic music to create this musical masterpiece. Sure, the songs are a bit out of the ordinary, but I think that's just what we need. Today's music is all the same crap over and over with a different beat. This is new, this is fresh, this is awesome. The highlights are: "I'm Selfish", "What A Shame", "You Naked", and "Blaming Something".… Expand
Mar 29, 2013It's very generously produced, with effects bursting from every crevice, but the melodies are (just) strong enough to weather it all. [May 2013, p.73]
Mar 28, 2013The constant zipping and zapping of its final five tracks almost cause the album to become bottom heavy, but thankfully the just-right 'So Cold' and the lovely 'Don't You Love Me' keep it from going completely overboard.
Mar 18, 2013Fans of Lidell (or Prince, for that matter) won't be challenged, but Jamie Lidell is proof that sometimes execution really is king.

Thought I'd best do an update on this issue - where I am now. @Witch are you there?
On the machines that I have already tried to image I have:
Gone into the BIOS and disabled the PDA - Security/predesktop
Booted the laptop from the Win 7 CD. After entering Language and keyboard, selected Repair, ignored the auto option and selected Command Prompt. Run bootrec.exe /fixboot bootrec.exe /fixmbr bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
Restarted the laptop. Weee it booted to the image. Unfortunately it hadn't run the post image tasks (new sid, workgroup not domain) but hey it works. Taken off domain, do the necessary, re-join domain. With 23 machines to do this has got to be quicker than installing all the software manually.
Of all of those I'm not exactly sure which one did the trick Tomorrow's task will be to see when I start a machine from scratch, if just disable PDA will allow a new image. Wish me luck.
