Hello Community,
i´m trying to install BO DataServices 4.1 and integrate it in CMC (BO 4.0 with a complex architecture, distributed and clustered).
Our BO architecture is described as follows:
=> Release installed: SAP BO 4.0 SP5 FP5.
=> Platform: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit (all servers) with failover cluster.
=> CMS repository: SQL Server 2008 Enterprise (64bit) clustered.
=> Servers distribution:
- One load balancer (F5 Big-Ip pointing to the both tomcat servers)
- Two tomcat servers (clustered and each one pointing to the two CMS servers). Each one installed on its own Windows 2008 server.
- Two CMS servers (clustered). Each one installed on its own Windows 2008 server.
We have installed BODS as follows:
1. Web Tier Installation - Tomcat servers
- Sucessfull, installing only the Data Services Management Console feature. On this way, the Data Services Application is deployed on both tomcat servers. We think that no other feature it´s necessary on this tier.
2. CMS Tier Installation - CMS servers
Installed the rest of features except the Data Services Management Console on both CMS servers. On CMC, two new servers are created (NODExx.EIM Adaptive Processing Server). We have tried some installations types:
- Installed the BODS software on each CMS server (all features except the Data Services Management Console) and only one DS 4.1 repository. On second installation warns about an existing repository and to overwrite it.
On CMS integration used the CMS host name and not the cluster name. Installation cancelled and uninstalled the software.
- Installed the software on each CMS server (all features except the Data Services Management Console) and two separate DS 4.1 repositories. On CMS integration used the CMS host name and not the cluster name.
The installation was sucessfull, but the CMC servers (BO servers) on one of the CMC nodes are not working properly and also the new NODExx.EIM Adaptive Processing Servers (very slow and checked the properties of some of them,
a warning message comes telling us that can´t find the SIA service for this server).
Has anybody installed BODS 4.1 on this BO scenario?. Any ideas?
As info, we want to have one DS 4.1 installed and running on the first CMS node, and installed but stopped on the second CMS node.
Regards and thanks in advance,
Francisco Ortiz.
Has anybody installed BODS 4.1 on this BO scenario?. Any ideas?
Francisco Ortiz.
Hello Community,
basically i need an answer to some questions:
- If the explained scenario on my last update, each BODS installation must own a separate repository or can share the same (only one of the both BODS installed will be running, the other one stopped).
- If on CMS cluster (Server 1 & 2), when the installation is running on one server, the other SIA service (on the other server) must be stopped.
- If there are know problems on BODS 4.1 SP1 FP4 with BOE 4.0 SP5 FP5.
As per note 1740516: DS 4.1 SP1 SP1 Patch4 is compatible with 4.0 SP5 or higher SP5 compatible patches(5)(7)
(5) There is a known issue in BOE 4.0 SP5 with update install framework that causing issue in DS/IS 4.0 or 4.1 patch installation on top of existing DS/IS installation. The patch installation is completed, but the configuration failed to function. The workaround is uninstall the previous DS/IS installation and directly install DS/IS 4.0 or 4.1 patch.You can select the option to reuse the previous DS
configuration. This patch/update install issue is not with BOE SP4.
=> We install DS 4.1 SP1 first and then upgrade to DS 4.1 SP1 FP4, may be that it´s not compatible this last update with BO 4.0 SP5 FP5. Please confirm.
(7) Information Steward 4.x and Data Services 4.x is not certified withBOE SP6 and its patches.
=> it doesn´t apply in our case because we haven´t BOE 4.0 SP6.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Francisco Ortiz.
Hi Franc,
For your query,
- If the explained scenario on my last update, each BODS installation must own a separate repository or can share the same (only one of the both BODS installed will be running, the other one stopped).
Answer: First of all you have to Install BODS application and at the time of installation you have to skip data services "repository selection" this activity you have to performed after the installation (Cluster) in both the environment, and here only one local repository and one central repository for both the environment. You can also use load balancer at repository level
- If on CMS cluster (Server 1 & 2), when the installation is running on one server, the other SIA service (on the other server) must be stopped.
Answer: "No", Please donot stop the SIA when you are doing the cluster on other nodes. You have to start all services on first node then only cluster is possible on other nodes
Hi Daya,
thank you very much for your answer, very appreciated.
OK, i will test it and back to you with feedback.
Hi Daya,
after some days testing, it works now. With both SIAs running, on second installation i´ve skipped
data services "repository selection" and the installation was finished (on CMS nodes). After that, installation on Tomcat servers and finished. I´ve been running some jobs and uptodate, all is working properly. Your tip was very helpful, thank you very much.
Anyway i´m noticing slowness on this version executing some jobs, comparing with Data Integrator 3.1 . May be it´s a question of tuning. Have you information on how to tune BODS 4.1?.
Thank you very much for your help.
Francisco Ortiz.
Hi Franc,
Regarsing BODS 4.1 following are the activity depend on SAP BO 4.0/4.1 Application and Web Application (Tomcat).
Best Practices for SAPBO BI 4.0 Adaptive Processing Servers:This whitepaper summarizes best practices, tuning, configuration and troubleshooting to help make your SAP BusinessObjects Adaptive Processing Server perform best. There are plenty of additional whitepapers / notes which delve into significant detail, this whitepaper is meant to be a handy summary for an administrator familiar with SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise BI4.0 platform.
And you can also refer below SNotes:

1452186 - What is the maximum memory pool limit for Apache Tomcat used by Management Console? - Data Services / Data Integrator
Hope this will help you as well.
Hi Francisco,
Please check your installation because at the time of Installation you have missed some steps regarding EIM or Cluster

Splinter Cell Conviction Arrives February 23rd (video)
My buddy really holds dear these certain games that he thinks are going to be awesome. And often he is let down (Assassin's Creed). He became a bit worried when Ubisoft announced that Splinter Cell Conviction was delayed and believes that the game is going to be total crap. I tried to explain to him that the developers were working hard to make the game the best it could be and the delays were merely going to make the game better in the long run.
At the Tokyo Game Show, Splinter Cell Conviction was shown with great conviction to how much better it's looking these days. Funny enough, while searching for this video I saw other SCC videos dating back to over two years ago. Ugh.
Just missing this year's holiday gaming extravaganza, Splinter Cell Conviction will see the light of retail shelves on the 23rd of February 2010. I think this game is going to be awesome just like all the others have been. Clock the video below.

Makassar hotels
Magical Makassar
Makassar is a bit like a tortured artist – troubled, mad even, yet with an undeniable charm. Amongst the lights dangling from makeshift power lines and massive trucks spilling rice as they rumble down narrow streets, there's magic to be found. Makassar is also placed perfectly for accessing other smaller Indonesian islands to the east and south, so if its disconcerting façade doesn't tempt you to leave early (and you really shouldn't let that happen), its handy location might.
Much of Makassar's magic is manmade, including Trans Studio Makassar, once the largest indoor theme parks in the world, and Karebosi Link, the first underground shopping centre in Indonesia. However, Makassar has lost none of its natural, tropical Southeast Asian charm, with hidden snorkelling spots like the small island of Pulau Kayangan only 20 minutes away.
Makassar's Top 10
10. Kayangan Island Across from Makassar Harbour, this coral island is home to postcard-perfect cottages and restaurants.
5. Kingdom of Butterflies This National Park-enclosed valley was once home to floating clouds of butterflies.
9. Paotere Harbour Only in Makassar could an old shipping dock be so colourful.
4. Pulau Samalona One of the most beautiful snorkelling spots in the whole of Indonesia.
8. Cave of Dreams The beautiful hanging rocks are so vibrant, locals thought they were dreaming when they discovered them.
3. Diponegoro Tomb A popular memorial to an Indonesian rebel leader who fought against the invading Dutch.
7. Bantimurung Waterfall This beautiful 15m (49ft) fall leads to a warm swimming spot. A real hidden gem.
2. Losari Beach Home to a nightly food market – and one of the most ravishing sunsets anywhere.
6. Bantimurung National Park If you want to find rest, respite and relaxation in Makassar, this is the place to come.
1. Fort Rotterdam This stately old fortress is one of the best examples of Dutch architecture in Indonesia.
Makassar History
- Fort Rotterdam – This fort was built in the 16th century and shows the heavy Dutch influence on Makassar.
- Paotere Harbor – The wooden ships illustrate how such work has been done for centuries in Makassar.
- Opu Fortress – This fortress was once known as the strongest fortress in all of Indonesia.

Makassar Events
The international sailing community (and local fishermen) gather in Makassar Harbour in August to test their sea legs in the Sandeq Race.
Since Indonesia is almost entirely Muslim, the month of Ramadan brings fasting in August and glorious feasting in September.
To mark the end of Ramadan, the Indonesians celebrate Eid-ul-fitr (September) in traditional style with days of feasting and partying in the streets.
Although a Christian holiday, the Indonesians celebrate Christmas with a public holiday and a generous spirit.
When To Go
Makassar enjoys a warm and tropical climate, with average temperatures ranging from 25 to 32°C (77-90°F).
The best time to visit is the dry season, between May and October. The weather is a little warmer, but ocean breezes will help you out.
The high season (December and January) is not as daunting as it was before tourism in Indonesia took a dip.
Getting Around
Using a becak is fast, although perhaps not the safest form of transport.
Taxis are cheap and will always get you where you need to go. Just be sure to know your destination in both English and Indonesian.
Bemos are popular on the island. These small utility trucks have bench seating in the back. You may feel like a farm animal, but you'll get to your destination safely.

Part 3A gave the state government the power to remove decision-making on "significant" proposals from local councils and hand it to the minister, who could either make a decision or appoint an expert panels. Around NSW, community groups found that controversial developments were removed from their local councils.
Not everyone hated Part 3A. Aaron Gadiel, then CEO of the developer's lobby Urban Taskforce, said in 2011 that Part 3A was the only part of a dysfunctional NSW planning system that worked. "Part 3A makes the development application process work better by overriding 12 other acts of Parliament," he was quoted as saying. In February 2011, Gadiel welcomed O'Farrell's broad development vision for NSW. "O'Farrell spot on with state's future" heralded the Western and Northern suburbs media, quoting Gadiel as CEO of Urban Taskforce.
For those who follow NSW politics, Gadiel's comments were a straw in the wind. Gadiel began in Young Labor and after a stint as an industrial officer joined the staff of right wing Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid, then a minister in the NSW government. Obeid has been frequently investigated by the Sydney Morning Herald for his role in property developments that benefitted Labor mates. His office was a good launching pad for Gadiel's later role in the Urban Taskforce.
As it waited in the wings, the Coalition government promised a major overhaul of the planning laws. But as New Matilda reported at the time, O'Farrell's policies were vague. Greens planning spokesperson David Shoebridge was a lone critical parliamentary voice:
"Mr O'Farrell, either he can't, or won't, say what he intends to replace (Part 3A) with .. If he can't come up with concrete alternatives to unpopular and dysfunctional policies like Part 3A, the voters of NSW will be stumbling blind to the election".
Others warned that previous NSW Coalition governments had strong ties with property developers.
After their landslide victory, the Liberal government took their time. They approved many of the Part 3A projects including large scale residential developments on the sensitive coastal stretch of Catherine Hill Bay, which had been the subject of a long anti-development campaign. Meanwhile, the Urban Taskforce was complaining that the pace was too slow.
Eventually, the NSW Minister for Planning Brad Hazzard appointed Tim Moore — an ex-minister for planning in a former Liberal government and former judge of the Land and Environment Court — and lawyer Ron Dyer to conduct a review.
Their review was expected to be the basis for a green paper, which was subsequently published in June. After a further consultation period, a white paper and draft legislation will be released later this year. When passed, this bill is expected to become the new planning legal framework, replacing the 1979 act, which was passed after the Green Ban period but has been constantly amended since.
The Moore/Dyer review found the key objective of planning reform should be to "provide an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable framework". But when the green paper appeared, this and many other recommendations had disappeared. Now the first objective was "economic development and competitiveness". The underlying philosophy was now pro-growth and pro-developer.
Community groups which had welcomed the solid consultation process of the review now found that the paper proposed less rights for community consultation than now exist. Under the new regime, communites would be engaged in forming broad regional plans, but once guidelines were in place they would not be consulted on developments in their local neighbourhoods.
Developers, on the other hand, could apply for rezonings, even if these did not fit with regional guidelines. If council decisions went against developers they could appeal to non-elected Regional Planning Boards that may include developer representatives. There would also be more opportunity in the new system for checking off proposals against a list of criteria, using certificates supplied by developer consultants.
But while the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, environmental and resident groups throughout NSW were appalled, the Urban Taskforce were happy. According to their green submission, they put forward 10 key points for consideration and were satisfied when these were all reflected in the final green paper. One of a small list of people thanked at the beginning of the paper was Aaron Gadiel.
By now, Gadiel had left the Urban Taskforce and joined pro-development law firm Gadens. Gadiel's experience in the NSW government was featured in his introduction to the firm. His link to Obeid, an important part of that experience, was not. Gadiel was able to provide a useful summary of the paper from the perspective of his developer clients. He acknowledged his own contribution to the Green Paper.
After a slow start, the O'Farrell government now began to work more quickly. There was only a three-month consultation period, but nevertheless a large number of submissions were lodged, most of which were critical of the green paper.
While working on submissions, community and environmental groups mobilised to form the Better Planning Network in August. With more than 50 affiliates the network is already the biggest community coalition formed around planning issues since the days of the Green Bans movement, when resident action groups across Sydney backed the Builders Labourers Federation to oppose developments that would have demolished the heritage buildings and low rise suburbs in inner Sydney as well as the pockets of remaining bushland and open space on the North Shore.
From the Wolli Creek Preservation Society which has been campaigning since 1998 to protect a pocket of bushland in the Inner West, to Friends of Koalas, which is dedicated to protecting Koalas in NSW's Far North, to REDwatch in Redfern, the Better Planning Network represents a massive political campaigning resource — but it faces off against a government with a large majority and a developer lobby poised for victory.
The convenor of Better Planning Network, Corinne Fisher, is president of one of the oldest groups in the network: the Lane Cove Bushland and Conservation Society on Sydney's North Shore. Fisher's says the network's key concerns are the "fundamental unfairness" of residents losing their say about developments in their neighbourhoods at the application stage, and that specific environmental and heritage controls have disappeared from the green paper. In the past these have included specific requirements to consider coastal protection, the protection of Sydney's water supply, sustainable aquaculture and affordable housing.
The network is not opposed to regional planning in principle, but Fisher says that it should entail a different, more thorough approach to involving the community than the recent three-month consultation period allowed for the green paper. She agrees that it is possible to set broad regional limits on development but this should not remove the right of communities to oppose particular aspects of developments which are often difficult to predict in advance.
She is particularly concerned that after the regional plans are formed "a developer can decide there is a whole lot of money to be made and make a spot rezoning which would undermine the original community engagement process".
The Better Planning Network is completely opposed to what the Green Paper refers to as "Enterprise Zones", which would have few development controls. "We will not compromise on that," Fisher says. This is one aspect of the plan that concerns the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), which stated in their submission on the green paper that this flexibility "will create a corruption risk, especially when combined with the potential for proponents to obtain huge windfall profits through obtaining an approval".
The Minister for Planning Brad Hazzard further eroded the community groups' goodwill when he only included 9 per cent of representatives of community groups in a one day workshop last week on the planning reform process attended by 400 people. Although Hazzard acknowledged the importance of community engagement and his excitement about the planning process, representatives who attended were disappointed that the day was tightly managed with little opportunity to have an impact on direction of the reform.
While the Better Planning Network plans to visit every MP before the white paper is published, the Urban Taskforce will be working behind the scenes to strengthen O'Farrell and Hazzard's backbone. They will lobby for a temporary planning policy to "kick-start the industry", similar to the Queensland government's, which aims to speed up development.
The first electoral test of the O'Farrell government's planning approach will come in the seat of Sydney by-election on Saturday week. The electorate stretches from heritage areas in Woollahra and Paddington to the high-rises of Ultimo and Pyrmont.
Much of what low-rise survives in between — in Darlinghurst, Kings Cross, Woolloomooloo and the CBD — would have been swept away in the 1970s if not for the Green Bans, a victory some current residents know nothing about. Due to relatively low media coverage, residents not already involved in community groups are only now becoming aware of the drastic changes.
Candiates will present their views at a Better Planning Forum this Tuesday. Greens candidate Chris Harris, an ex Sydney City Councillor, has made his views clear. Independent candidate and marriage equality campaigner Alex Greenwich also says he will support community involvement in planning laws. The Liberal candidate Shane Mallard, who has strong financial and political backing from the NSW Liberal Party, is campaigning to be a "voice for Sydney" in the heart of government, although as a junior MP, his voice would be a small one. New Matilda could find no mention the planning reforms on his website.
Wendy Bacon was involved in the Green Ban movement and is a member of Friends of Erskineville, which supports the Better Planning Network.

At last the sort of bi-partisan agreement I have been hoping for. While in power Labor MPs used planning to benefit themsleves and their party through corrupt, self serving and and anti-social behaviour. The Obeid and Rozenthaal legacy.
Now the Liberal Party moves to change the law to allow for even more shady donations, glad handing and assistance for 'mates' like James Packer, who without resorting to bribery can easily arrange for O'Farrell to occupy a seat on any one of a number of boards when he finally swings his arse out of the Premier's.
I suggest this new found sense of shared purpose be applied to health, education and community development. Or they could just form one big party called, say, the Fat Cats Who All Went to Private School, are Mostly Lawyers and Who are Very Willing to Provide a Hand Shandy to Their Developer Mates Party.
This stuff sickens me and stinks up my state.

As a long-fighting resident of Catherine Hill Bay whose campaign turned to dust under Part 3A and the successive Governments of Carr, Iemma, Rees, Kenneally and O'Farrell, I have now only got one option left to me to save Catherine Hill Bay.
Over 4 decades I have watched the paradigm change, so that now in every battle, the community we want to protect and nurture takes 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. The developers and Dr Dog's Fat Cats Party have won - permanently. They own the Parliamentary process, the media, the non-thinking voter, and the money to buy everything they need. Caring people are stuffed.
I am 64 years old, a Consultant Geologist who has led my life in campaigns to heal our community: successively Vietnam, the Nuclear Industry, Peace, Reconciliation, and Catherine Hill Bay. I will now be looking for a hole in the high wire fence around the Catho development site, as Rosecorp destroys the headland and virgin bushland for its 600 houses and commercial precinct, and padlocking myself to a bulldozer. I am tired and I don't care what they do to me. I am now dangerous.
Does anyone want to join me?

You know Bill I used to live on the Central Coast, at Charmhaven around 1984. Every now and then I would, on the run up the coast, drive in to see Catherine Hill Bay. I don't believe I have seen a more convivial spot, or one that more deserved a gentle hand when it changed over from industrial to residential use.
Even then conversation would tend toward how ripe this beautiful town was for developers. It seemed sadly inevitable that greed heads and jerks would invade the space, like they did throughout the 70's and 80's right along the coast.
It seems impossible that the rights to develop this land, the murky arrangements and flat refusal of the government to protect the environment and heritage of Catherine Hill Bay could be achieved without significant corruption.
Keep fighting the good fight Bill. Even if you fail (and we fail so often against these dead weights to a decent society that I could cry) I wish you the very best. Post here just before you leave and I will come up from Sydney and join you, at least for enough time on the barricades so I can say I wasn't one of those that let this slide.

Written by Ramon Gonzalez
George Washington's Mount Vernon was the first house in North America to incorporate a lawn as part of the landscape design. According to some estimates, 40 million acres of America are covered in turf grass, in the 48 contiguous states, making turf grass our largest irrigated crop.
The Sobering Statistics
During the growing season, if lawns are watered and fertilized as recommended, we pour 238 gallons of water per person, per day onto all that turf during the growing season.
The EPA says, that in the United States 26 billion gallons of water is consumed on a daily basis. Approximately 7.8 billion gallons of the water consumed on a daily basis is devoted to irrigation. Your typical suburban lawn consumes 10,000 gallons of water above annual rainfall.
That is a lot of water when you consider that humans can use less than 1% of all the water on Earth.
How much water can you conserve by replacing your lawn with a garden?
A couple of years after starting my outdoor garden the water connection to the outside broke and I never fixed it. It turned out to be a blessing because up until then I did not realize how much water I wasted.
It wasn't until I was watering grass with a watering can that the severity of the situation dawned on me. Little by little, I replaced the drying turf with plants until there were only a few square feet of it left.
Surviving on Rainfall
Today, everything that grows in the ground in my garden has to survive on rainfall. That includes the annuals, perennials, spring blooming bulbs and the summer blooming bulbs-and even a healthy dose of weeds. I didn't set out to be a water conservationist — it just happened.
America's obsession with lawns has unfortunately made victims of some who have purposefully set out to conserve water.
When Removing Your Lawn is a Crime
In 2010, Quan and Angelina Ha were charged with a misdemeanor violation and ordered to appear in court. Their crime? They removed their lawn in Orange, California and replaced it with woodchips and drought-tolerant plants like lavender, rosemary, horsetail and pittosporum. According to the Los Angeles Times article, they reduced their water usage from 299,221 gallons in 2007 to 58,348 gallons in 2009.
How much water you are wasting keeping a lawn depends on the region you live in and what type you are growing.
Kentucky blue grass, the most common turf outside of the Southern United States, requires a lot of water. St. Augustine grass is prone to succumbing to pests and diseases, and Bermudagrass need constant maintenance to keep it looking clean and can be invasive.
Instead of trying to keep a lawn alive during this drought why not plant a garden? Either an ornamental garden that beautifies your neighborhood and provides habitat for wildlife, or a vegetable garden that you can feed yourself from are better alternatives.
Take advantage of the effects of our current drought to examine where you can remove turf on your property and you'll start to see a reduction in the amount of water you use.
You have to wonder if George Washington knew that the trend he was starting would lead to so much wasted water if he would have opted for something other than an expansive lawn at Mount Vernon.

Good idea, lawns are such a waste of space. Who wants to water and mow all that lawn. We currently fight wars over oil but in the future we will fight wars over water as the human population reaches the critical point.
I live in a desert...in a drought .
I have native rock pebbles as a lawn..and some native plants planted themselves ...and they planted themselves in exactly the areas I had been planning for plants .What to do to make it more interesting ? I have a friend who will give me a native tree that is still very small ...and then I will buy a few boulders that one can actually sit on instead of plastic chairs .And that is it...simple and native and no hassle.
Planting far more trees is the solution.
The worldwide destroying of forests is a main reason for the worldwide climate chance and that's quickly getting worse as we all can see.
I've never been one to water the grass--but living in Illinois we usually have enough rainfall to sustain it. This year I let the lawn fail with the drought, and I did expand my garden--which I water 2x daily. Still it's a significant savings over watering the other 8000 sqft of my property.
I'm in the process of tearing out more dormant turf for a stone path. It's my hope to expand the patio soon so we can have more outdoor dining/relaxing space.
If there isn't enough water to take care of the lawn, there won't be enough to water your garden. Solve the problem...pour concrete or put in artificial turf.

Just raising awareness for all SEP Admins: Symantec has posted a new Security Advisory that affects all SEP 12.1 SEPMs earlier than the RU3 release.
"SEPM Secar.dll Buffer Overflow" A DLL in the management console in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) 12.1.x server does not properly validate all external input. This could potentially result in a buffer overflow and remote code execution with application privileges on the server that is hosting the management console.
Please see this advisory for full details:

NOTE: Symantec is not aware of any customers affected by this issue or any malicious attempts to exploit this issue. Also, there are IPS signatures in place which will block malicious traffic that attempts to explot this. Please ensure that the SEP client protecting your SEPM has the IPS component enabled and definitions up-to-date!
Keep in mind that upgrading will provide protection against any possible future exploit attempt, and also provide the benefit of many other fixes, enhancements and improvement. See Latest Symantec Endpoint Protection Released - SEP 12.1.RU3 for details.

She is also happy to share details of what she id doing, next steps, etc., which many doctors seem as if they can't be bothered. I feel at ease with her and that I can ask her anything! She is not my regular optometrist, but would be glad to see her again!

I am a decent guy, or at least as decent as guys can get, but the truth is that even decent guys are pervs. It's not like we want to be (all the time anyway), we just are. Girls believe that there are guys out there who don't think about sex all the time, and are upset when they find out every guy does.

Are You Excited About the 'Wild, Wild West' Remake?
The 'Battlestar Galactica' reboot was successful because they completely re-imagined the series -- and let's face it, the original wasn't that hot to begin with. 'The Bionic Woman' redo died a quick and painful death.
Now comes word that 'Battlestar Galactica' producer Ron Moore is going to do a new version of 'The Wild, Wild West' for CBS. This both thrills and terrifies me to my very core.
(I could have embedded the opening of the premiere episode, but I like the one where he punches the lady instead of just kissing her.)
The original 'Wild, Wild West' -- seemingly named as much for the lead character as much as the setting of the show -- was a really fun mixture of traditional Old West plots and sci-fi scenarios. Government agents James T. West (master of fighting and painted-on pants) and Artemus Gordon (master of disguise and gadgets) traveled around the country on a cool train fighting enemies of the United States. It's the type of TV show that seems really ripe for a remake. It's 40 years old and has all of the things that a new generation could find cool in the 21st century: a hero who has a small gun that shoots out of his shirt sleeve, a pimped-out train with secret compartments and a bar and crazy villains bent on either controlling the world or destroying part of it (so they could rule what was left).
It was great back then and could be fun today, and that's partly what scares me about the reboot.
Wouldn't it be great to have a standard, traditional Western on TV again? And not "standard" and "traditional" in the negative sense, but a Western that is more about horses and posses and saloons and relationships and the happenings of small Western towns. You know that a modern Western is going to focus more on the gadgets and the fancy camera work and the special effects than the stuff you'd find in a more traditional version. Something tells me that cool train will now have a swimming pool and Gordon will invent the first Blackberry so he and West can communicate, or maybe the train can now fly in some way, so West and Gordon can solve crimes in Hawaii too.
Today's producers probably wouldn't make a truly traditional Western -- something like 'Gunsmoke' or 'Bonanza' or 'The Big Valley' or 'Rawhide.' It's not that a quirky, off-kilter Western couldn't work. 'The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.' is one of my favorite shows, and that was a Western about a power-mad villain who was looking for three glowing orbs. 'Outlaws' started out as a typical Western but then the guys went through a time portal and ended up in modern times. Richard Dean Anderson's 'Legend' was fun but was hardly your father's Western. 'Peacemakers' sounded like a traditional Western at first, but then we found out that it was 'CSI' in the West. Kind of a cool idea but again, a Western with a twist. CBS did try with 'The Magnificent Seven' but it didn't last long.
Remember 'Legacy?' It was pretty much a traditional Western, but it lasted for only one season. There have been a few other shows set in that era, but they've been more family-oriented shows -- 'Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman' and 'Little Men' come to mind -- and not shows about guys shooting at each other. Unless it was 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' but that was a modern show, and it had more kicking than shooting.
'Deadwood' was a great show, but with its almost Shakespearean dialogue and messy morality, it wasn't traditional either.
TV doesn't seem to want to do Westerns in a that way. You're more likely to see remakes of Westerns like 'The Wild, Wild West' -- a show with a modern twist already -- instead of 'The Rifleman.' The same with private eye shows. Private eyes are more "private investigator" these days. Gone are hard, chain-smoking private eyes with an office like Mike Hammer. They've been replaced by quirky characters who happen to solve crimes on shows like 'Psych' and 'Monk,' or they're spies on shows like 'Burn Notice.' All fine shows, but the genre has changed (though TNT is working on a P.I. show set in '50s L.A.). Same with Westerns. Maybe they think modern TV viewers won't want to see something "old-fashioned," TV industry code for "without quick edits and less sex."
So Mr. Moore, go ahead and remake 'The Wild, Wild West.' I look forward to any Western on TV. I know you have to keep the more outlandish elements of the show, but at the same time fans hope you remember the saloons and the horses and the fights and the dusty cowboy hats. Also remember -- though most of us are trying to forget -- what happened when Will Smith and Kevin Kline stepped into the boots of Robert Conrad and Ross Martin. Remember what happened in that movie and then, you know, do the opposite.
|Yes, I'd love to see a new take on the show.
|843 (24.5%)
|Yes, but only if it's a lot like the old show.
|1683 (48.9%)
|No way! I'm sick of TV remakes!
|915 (26.6%)

Royal PinRead MoreRoyal Pin?s four bowling centers boast a total of 270 gleaming lanes, but their widely varied facilities offer far more than games of tenpins. At all four locations, cosmic-bowling nights create a psychedelic atmosphere with fog, music, and black lights. The Woodland location, though, was voted Best Bowling in Indianapolis 2012 by CityVoter and ups the ante with flat screens above the lanes and cushy couches where players recline while waiting their turn to take a ride through the pinsetter. Its adjacent outdoor mini-golf course, Pirates? Cove, sends putters on a salty adventure with 18 Lilliputian fairways populated by streams, waterfalls, and a pirate ship. In addition, the location recently received a makeover, with a new midway, lounge, bar and restaurant. In that same center, there's also the two-story Pirate's Quest laser tag, which combines the excitement of laser tag and swashbuckling. At the Expo location, the theme relates to another exciting frontier: space. In Laser Storm tag, players battle for rights to moon territories. Besides their alleys, Royal Pin also manages the 5-acre Greatimes Family Fun Park, where kids zip around a go-cart track, bounce through a multilevel playland, or pilot bumper boats equipped with blaster squirt guns and highly sensitive grownup detectors.5261 Elmwood AveIndianapolis, IN US

That's because the alley is open 24/7, letting guests squeeze in a game after dinner, before breakfast, or during an important business meeting they'd rather skip. In addition to organizing league games, setting up bumpers for kids' parties, and re-lacing every bowling shoe, the facility is known for their pizzas and large calzones, among other menu items, such as burgers and fries.95 N 2nd AveBeech Grove, IN US

You know me: I'm all about the classics. Give me a good basic, and I'll wear it into the ground. I'm constantly on the road, so my wardrobe has to be crammed neatly into a suitcase that isn't too heavy to deal with. Also, the pieces I pack have to be completely interchangeable so I have more outfit options for what may become an extended trip. This cape from Rachel Zoe looks great over anything, and it adds instant polish and warmth. I'm in love, it's like a chic blanket that's acceptable to leave the house in; pure coziness. I can't get away from mentioning the boots too (also thanks to Rachel Zoe), or what I should actually call epic-rock-star-footwear that are capable of making even the most boring outfit look really fucking cool.

Welcome to our new webpage for the guild. It's not very fancy or nice looking, but it's where we can come and really get aquainted with each other and our characters. Guild recruitment is on a large scale. I'm spamming the general chats around Azeroth, looking for others to come join us on our tales. For those who have been refered to our page, the link for general information is to the left. It has most of the information, and if you have any questions you can post in our forum "Hang Around".
As for our members, the forum also has a tab for character profiles that I strongly suggest you try and post some information about your characters so we can look over it and understand; seeing as we have nothing going on in RP as of right now.
You may also notice we have a section for photos. You may post art, screenshots, and even a picture of yourself if you wish to share who you are with us. All up to you.
If there is anything else I need to touch on, smack me in the forums.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- New teenage drivers have a lot to deal with these days. Their many distractions, mixed together with inexperience, can be a recipe for disaster. It's a right of passage that takes education in the classroom and hours of training behind the wheel. I Drive Smart's Tom Pecoraro takes new students for a spin, literally, which puts a little fear in them, too. By putting kids in the Skid Car, they can recreate any weather scenario, any road scenario and experience what it's like to be out of control, even in a controlled environment at 7-10 miles an hour.
Parent Jeff Paper says he keeps the conversation about safe driving with his son, "It's scary in the very beginning, but you do get used to it, they have to realize they have a lot to learn, and they have to always be aware of the other drivers around them."
Pecoraro now uses the new 'Risk Disk' to make sense of it all for parent. It assesses risks based on time of day, number of passengers in the car, and their experience. He says 6 months is the magic month, within the 6 months your driver is within the highest risk.
Teen driver Alex Paper says after riding the Skid Car, the reality of the risks hit home, "When you don't have control of the vehicle and your skidding you can hit anything on the road, if you skid like that on the main road you could easily hit a car."

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has already been in the headlines this month, as it makes a glorious appearance on mobile devices. Today, it's back, as Rockstar digs out a "special treat" from the archives: The first of three interactive kiosks created ten years ago for London's Design Museum. Today's instalment focuses on Animation.
Back in 2002, GTA: Vice City was chosen as one of the year's "biggest contributions to design", alongside other "newfangled technology" as the Apple iPod.
Part of the nomination and award celebrations saw the creation of these special interactive kiosks for Vice City - focussing on Animation, Sound and City Design - so Museum visitors could get a special behind-the-scenes look at how the game had been created.
Rockstar Games compiled a bunch of rare footage and sketches, including:
Many of these files and images have not been seen since the original exhibition, unveiled again now as part of the Vice City 10th anniversary festivities. Stay tuned for Parts Two and Three "quite soon", according to R*.
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

When Osmeña returned to the Philippines in October 1944, he sided with those who wished to punish the collaborators who had helped the Japanese during the occupation. To the surprise of many, the commander of U.S. forces in the islands, General Douglas MacArthur, adopted a lenient attitude toward the collaborators and personally pardoned the prominent collaborator Manuel Roxas.
In preparation for Filipino independence, on 14 May 1945 Osmeña and U.S. President Harry S. Truman signed an agreement allowing the United States to retain military bases in the Philippines after independence was granted in 1946. In the 1946 elections, the Nationalist Party chose Osmeña as its candidate, although he refused to actively campaign. After forming the Liberal Party in January 1946, Roxas declared his intention to run for the presidency. Osmeña received little assistance from MacArthur, who backed his old friend Roxas. In the April 1946 elections, Roxas defeated Osmeña and became the first president of the independent Republic of the Philippines. Osmeña then retired from politics. He died in Manila on 19 October 1961.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – A federal magistrate has ordered a western Pennsylvania man to remain in jail until he can stand trial on federal charges that he took a 13-year-old girl across state lines for sex.
Thirty-one-year-old Joshua Baker of Leeper was originally charged by state authorities with kidnapping the girl whom he had allegedly met through relatives last summer when she was only 12.
Baker was arrested with the girl in Martin, S.D., on April 6, some nine days after he left Pennsylvania with the girl who told authorities they first tried to cross the Mexican border in Texas but were not permitted to cross.
A federal judge determined that Baker was too much of a danger to the community and flight risk for her to release him on house arrest.

I have a slight crush on Mrs A. She is a client of Boutique Studios, and I have gotten to know her a little bit the last few months. She decided to do a boudoir photo shoot and have an album made to give to her fiancee on their wedding day. She brought the most beautiful outfits, and I absolutely love how her makeup and hair looked. As one of the photographers on her wedding day, it was so exciting to hear how well her album went over with her groom!

Johnson on possible church splits
"What has been emerging for the last several years is becoming even clearer now: We're on a trajectory toward the blessing of same-sex unions and the ordination of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people," said the Rev. Jay Johnson, from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, and director of academic research at its Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry.
Johnson added: "It may mean, when there are breakthroughs in these churches, we see more breakaways."

The following is an announcement from Findmypast.co.uk:
"We are very proud to announce the launch of four sets of nineteenth and twentieth century military records to help enrich your family history. The records provide useful detail including attestation and leaving dates, achievements made in service and soldiers' physical appearence. And, certainly in the case of the 1861 records, the records can fill in gaps left by the census.
The releases are the 1861 Worldwide Army Index, Royal Fusiliers Collection 1863-1905, Paddington Rifles 1860-1912and Surrey Recuitment Registers 1908-1933.
The 1861 Worldwide Army Index (or The 1861 Worldwide Soldier Index) entailed the extraction of some 245,000 serving soldiers.
The Paddington Rifles database contains the names of over 8,600 men who served with the battalion from its inception in 1860 until its demise in 1912. It can therefore be a vital tool in providing colour to your London ancestors.
The Royal Fusiliers Collection 1863-1905 comprises the names of close to 5000 officers and men who took part in a series of British military campaigns between 1863 and 1904.
The Surrey Recruitment Registers comprises details of approximately 85,000 men who attested for service with a variety of regiments in Surrey between 1908 and 1933.
You can also have a look through all our military records."

When Do Used Servers Make Sense
IT personnel are constantly faced with budgetary constraints in achieving their goals and completing projects. Refurbished IT hardware is often considered as a means to cut costs, but for which applications does it make sense to implement used servers and parts? We'll explore the scenarios in which it makes sense.
The most common use of used servers at any given corporation is within their test and/or development environments. System administrators are less concerned about failures within this setting as it won't result in the wrath of dozens, hundreds or thousands of users. Even hardware manufacturers will reach out to the used IT hardware industry to purchase equipment when they need systems to benchmark against their own equipment or to use in their test labs to measure compatibility. This saves these manufacturers from the uncomfortable dialogue of asking their competitors for hardware or worse yet paying them for it. It also often saves them thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars per acquisition.
The second most common instance where used hardware is acquired is when older systems have been abandoned by the manufacturer. Often the organization is entrenched in a software application in which it would be unbearable to update their infrastructure in order to move to a newer version. Since the manufacturer no longer sells systems and upgrades and possibly no longer supports this hardware, the user reaches out to the remarketed industry for quality used systems and upgrades. Many remarketers can also provide them with support for their end of life systems. Other users prefer to buy parts and/or spare systems to keep on hand as hot spares since the pricing is so much lower than the original costs.
The result of these interactions often determines how much further used hardware becomes embedded into their enterprise. In the majority of cases the client receives hardware that practically looks new, works just like the equipment they purchased brand new, but at a fraction of the cost. In some cases though they may run into a dealer that can't provide proper support, a rogue auction seller offering bad or counterfeit parts, a belligerent manufacturer's rep or just bad luck. In those cases the user typically isn't comfortable buying refurb beyond the above instances. For the most part though, the test/dev/EOL scenarios cited open the user's / buyer's eyes to the incredible savings they can get on equipment that works just like new expensive systems.
Thus, the final scenario when used hardware makes sense is when the user is comfortable with it. The user is comfortable when they deal with a reputable dealer with strong support as this is what would have allowed them to have had good experiences. When the user is comfortable, they will begin buying used upgrades for production systems as they know they'll get quality products and vendor support. As the admin asks for newer and newer systems, they'll also realize that it isn't just older servers that are available used, but the latest systems and parts. In the end, it all comes down to the comfort level of the buyer and the reliability of their vendors.

POTSDAM - Graduate students in Dr. Lynn A. Halls course, Literacy: Family, School, Community Collaborations, recently got some hands-on experience helping local elementary students and their parents.
The associate professor of literacy education worked with the students in her class to design and implement a Family Literacy Event as part of a Curriculum Night held at Jefferson Elementary School in Massena.
The program was a huge hit, with games and activities, and the SUNY Potsdam students handed out 200 family literacy kits that they had created.
The children were so actively engaged in the activities that parents had difficulty prying them away from the intervention tables to get ice cream sundaes or check out the selection of books at the Books on Wheels carts, said Faith Bish 03, literacy specialist at Jefferson Elementary.
Support for this program comes from Branching Out With Books, a collaborative literacy program between SUNY Potsdam and St. Lawrence University. Branching Out is coordinated by Dr. Marta Albert, associate professor of literacy education and Tina Wilson Bush, director of the Rebecca V. Sheard Literacy Center at SUNY Potsdam, along with Brenda Papineau, director of community-based learning partnerships at St. Lawrence University, Canton.
The Branching Out with Books program provides college students with an important hands-on learning experience working with approximately 400 high-need children throughout the school year at Massenas Jefferson Elementary School, Hermon-DeKalb Central School, Madrid-Waddington Central School and the Akwesasne St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.
The program is funded through a grant from the Charles R. Wood Foundation, and from a generous donation from the KeyBank Foundation.
