EMC Widens Lead As World's Number One Supplier Of Storage Software, Report Says
- 14 September, 2004 12:08

Number One EMC Commands More Than 4x the Share of Its Nearest Competitor in Both Storage Replication and Storage Resource Management Functional Markets

HOPKINTON, Mass. – 14 September, 2004 - EMC Corporation, the world leader in information storage and management, extended its worldwide storage software lead again in the second quarter of 2004 to 32.5 per cent revenue share, according to a new report released today by IDC.* During the quarter EMC grew storage software revenue nearly twice as fast as the total market and gained more revenue share than any other supplier to further solidify its position as the world's number one storage software company. On a year-on-year basis, EMC expanded its revenue share lead over the second largest storage software provider (Veritas) for the third consecutive quarter, widening the gap to 9.9 share points as organisations implemented EMC software to advance their information lifecycle management (ILM) strategies.

Howard Elias, EMC's Executive Vice President of Corporate Marketing, Office of Technology, said, "EMC software is bringing ILM to life for our customers around the world seeking an efficient and proven approach to managing their growing volumes of information. IDC's findings further validate that ILM, coupled with best-of-breed products and consistent execution on the part of EMC and its partners, is creating tremendous demand and momentum for our solutions in the marketplace."

According to IDC's estimates for the second quarter, EMC storage software revenue grew 30.5 per cent, gaining 3.4 points of share. EMC also grew its revenue share in the Storage Replication and Storage Resource Management functional markets to lead with 43.1 per cent and 56.2 per cent share, respectively. In the Backup and Archive functional market EMC gained revenue share in the most recent quarter to rank third overall. During the first half of 2004 number one EMC also gained revenue share in the total storage software market, growing revenue 31.7 per cent to lead with 31.2 per cent share.

"EMC's software leadership is reflective of our broad product depth across protection and recovery, data movement, information management, content management, and information infrastructure management solutions," added Elias. "Every class of EMC software is both highly scalable and rich in functionality to support enterprise environments from the modest to the most demanding. EMC's support of open standards and shared application programming interfaces also enables its software to be optimised for use in multi-vendor storage environments, while improving the ease of doing business with EMC for its customers and partners."

Donald Trump, who is currently seeking the Republican Party nomination for the 2016 Presidential election, has said that if he was the president, then the 9/11 attacks would never have happened.
Trump, who never misses an opportunity of talking to reporters, and is known for making controversial statements much too often, was speaking on Fox News Sunday. Explaining his position, the real estate mogul says that since he is "extremely, extremely tough on immigration" the attackers wouldn't have been in position to commandeer the US flights. "So there's a good chance that those people would not have been in our country", he added.
Trump then went on to attack Jeb on Twitter with a series of posts. Trump tweeted, "Jeb, why did your brother attack and destabilize the Middle East by attacking Iraq when there were no weapons of mass destruction? Bad info"? He also tweeted, "Jeb Bush should stop trying to defend his brother and focus on his own shortcomings and how to fix them".
Bush shot back defending his brother's presidency later with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union". He said, "My brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do. He united the country, he organized our country and he kept us safe. And there's no denying that. The great majority of Americans believe that".
Trump has been facing a backlash since his comments and has repeatedly declined to engage with reporters about the matter. When asked by CNN after a rally in Washington if he thought the attacks were George W. Bush's fault, Trump, just walked away after pausing to listen to the question. Minutes later, he again declined to say anything when asked to react to Bush's response on Twitter.

Former Neighbours Hits Justin Bieber With Another Lawsuit
The drama with the neighbours, Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwartz, started in 2014 when the singer egged their home during an altercation in 2014. The couple dragged him to court and won $80k which they used in repairing the damages he did.
Shortly after, Jeffrey said the bad press ruined his car sales business, and so he filed emotional distress lawsuit and loss of income. Now, the couple have upped their lawsuit, adding that the singer carried a campaign of terror against them and hurling slur words while at it.
"Threatening a man with body harm while calling him a 'little Jew boy' and intimidating him with 'what are you going to do about it, Jew boy?' is a hate crime," said the documents their lawyers filed in court.
However, Bieber's lawyer say the claims are preposterous. He alleges that Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwarz already admitted that hate slurs was made by Bieber's bodyguard and not the singer himself.
The couple stand a chance of winning more in damages if they win the case.

Twenty-five people in five states, including eight people in Colorado, have become sick with E. coli and cheese at a Costco store promotion is suspected, according to health officials.
The Bravo Farms Dutch Style Gouda cheese was given out in samples and sold during in-store promotions Oct. 14 to Oct. 17, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Eleven people reported illnesses in Arizona, three in New Mexico, two in Nevada and one in California.
Officials with Washington state-based Costco say they are working with state officials to remove the tainted product from its stores.
Anyone who bought the Bravo Farms set at the "Cheese Road Shows" should bring it back to the store for a full refund.
E. coli is bacteria that can cause severe cramps, diarrhea and dehydration. Children younger than 5, the elderly and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible.

Read this on twitter few days back:
"स्वामी जी ने पता लगाया कि आर्कमीडिज़ का असली नाम अमरदास था और वो एक भोजपुरी ब्राह्मण था। और खोज करते ही उसने 'ई देखा ई देखा' चिल्लाया था।"
Such jokes were in circulation in social media when Indian Science Congress sessions were going on where Ancient Aeroplane history papers were being presented. I really pity these ill-informed Indians controlled by paid-news channels.
This shows success of British Education system we have been following for last 7 decades. This education very well served the purpose of uprooting confidence of natives in their own glorious past.
Once you see your own culture as primitive, it is very easy to convince you superiority of present unification of the world as modernism.
Those who have closed their eyes and don't want to research, we can't help. Let them engage in petty mockeries.
For genuine researchers, here is the paper to start with.
Research Paper:
Pythagorean Triples and Cryptographic Coding
By Subhash Kak
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater – 2010
"The earliest statement of the theorem of the square on the diagonal (Pythagoras theorem), together with some examples, is to be found in the geometry text of Baudhāyana (c. 800 BC). "
A Pythagorean triple (a, b, c) consists of positive integers that are the sides of a right triangle and thus a2 + b2 = c2. Given a Pythagorean triple (a, b, c), we have other similar triples that are d(a, b, c), where d > 1. A primitive Pythagorean triple (PPT) consists of numbers that are relatively prime.
Pythagorean triples have been found on cuneiform tablets of Babylon and they are important in Vedic ritual and described in early geometry books of India and in the works of Euclid and Diophantus.
The earliest statement of the theorem of the square on the diagonal (Pythagoras theorem), together with some examples, is to be found in the geometry text of Baudhāyana (c. 800 BC). In his Śulba Sūtra 1.12 and 1.13, it is stated:
The areas (of the squares) produced separately by the length and the breadth of a rectangle together equal the area (of the square) produced by the diagonal. This is observed in rectangles having sides 3 and 4, 12 and 5, 15 and 8, 7 and 24, 12 and 35, and 15 and 36.
O'Conner and Robertson in their history of mathematics project take Baudhāyana to be 800 BC. Seidenberg presents various arguments for an early date for the knowledge of the Pythagoras theorem in India (for other aspects of early Indian mathematics, and for the altar ritual that provides the context in which this mathematics was used in the Śulba Sūtras, see. Van der Waerden saw a ritual origin to the discovery of Pythagoras.
The Śulba Sūtras are texts of applied geometry that provide techniques to draw altars of different shapes and sizes in a convenient manner. The word śulba means a "cord", "rope", or "string" and the root śulb signifies "measurement". The cord has marks (nyañcana in Sanskrit) that indicate where the intermediate pegs are to be fixed. Thus a cord of 12 units length with nyañcana at 3 and 7, can be readily stretched to yield the right-angled triangle (3,4,5).

. / The curriculum is based on active learning, which includes real-life situations, investigation and play. It recognises the importance of children's brain development through learning using all 5 senses, and the role of adults in facilitating, scaffolding and monitoring learning.
Cercetarile au aratat ca folosirea curriculei in educatia timpurie ofera o baza solida de dezvoltare pentru abilitatile sociale, motorii, de alfabetizare si numeratie
/ Evaluations have shown that using the curriculum in early childhood education provides a solid base for developing children's social skills, motor skills, and literacy and numeracy skills.
Foundations for later learning
The curriculum builds on children's learning in their families and communities, and provides a foundation for their learning from Years 1 to 10 through:
valuing and expanding children's diverse social and cultural understandings
curriculum and teaching practices, including:
principles to guide teaching in the early years of learning
involving children in learning physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually
assessment that monitors and helps extend student learning
establishing positive relationships, including strategies for school-family partnerships
managing transition processes, including a report to Year 1 teachers on each student's achievements in Prep
encouraging good learning habits, such as perseverance and independence.
What do children learn in the early phase of schooling?
The EYCG uses 5 early learning areas to describe what children will learn.
These early learning areas are derived from the factors associated with school readiness and success at school. The table below lists each early learning area, describes its focus, and shows the links to the Years 1-10 key learning areas.
How is children's learning monitored and assessed?
Monitoring and assessing is an integral part of the learning-teaching process and is not a separate activity. The information gathered is used to:
plan for future learning
build a picture of a child's learning and development
give direction to conversations with the child, parents or carers, specialist teachers, the child's next teacher and other professional colleagues
record point-in-time judgments using the early learning record and report on these.
Monitoring, assessing and reporting on children's learning has 4 stages.
1. Gathering evidence of children's learning
Teachers monitor and assess by gathering information and evidence throughout the year, generally from children's everyday learning activities. They:
observe children as they learn
talk with children about their learning
help children identify what they have learnt
gather the things children produce during their learning
comment on children's learning in relation to the curriculum
have formal and informal discussions with parents, carers, and professional colleagues.
2. Using folios to organise evidence about children's learning
Teachers and children organise evidence of learning in individual folios. The folio becomes a dynamic record of examples of a child's learning and development in the Preparatory Year.
3. Interpreting evidence of children's learning in folios
Teachers interpret the evidence of children's learning to inform daily planning and to make overall judgments about how far children's learning has progressed.
4. Using the early learning record to report on children's learning
The early learning record (ELR) documents judgments made about a child's learning in each early learning area. The ELR uses 4 phases to describe learning progress:
Becoming aware
Making connections
Feedback from teachers has shown that children are generally in the "Making connections" phase by the end of the Preparatory Year. Children do, however, vary in their learning and will be at different phases in different learning areas, depending on their experience prior to starting Prep and their interest in the learning area.
Teachers consider the range of evidence gathered throughout the year in the individual folio, to build an overall picture of a child's learning and development, and make judgments about the phases in which a child may be operating. The ELR is usually completed twice a year to monitor the child's overall progress.
The ELR gives:
Prep teachers a picture of a child's learning and helps them plan for the child's strengths and weaknesses
a focus for communication with parents or carers about a child's learning and development
Year 1 teachers an overall picture of a child's learning and development so that they can plan for a smooth transition from the Preparatory Year to Year 1

Bahrain's best DJs
Who's playing your favourite tunes at clubs and lounges in Bahrain? 1 Comments
- Picture 1 of 2
How many times have you gone to a brilliant new venue only to be left cold by the music or discovered the best frantic party vibes at some out of the way hole in the wall (which immediately becomes your favourite haunt)? Here at Time Out we're great believers that music maketh the man (or woman), but how many of us actually know who's spinning the discs (or twiddling the knobs and pressing the buttons) as we hit the dance floor? We've rounded up some of the island's best DJs and checked out what you can expect to hear from them.
In the club…or should that be lounge?
Damian D'Costa – Not strictly a club DJ any more, well not in Bahrain at any rate though he does still play the biggies in Ibiza and Dubai, Damian's probably best known for his five-year stint as the face and sound of Cocoon, which he founded out of a desire to give people somewhere to hear the kind of music he wanted to play.
These days you can hear him at the weekends at the Blaq Velvet Underground late lounge, in the Grand Safir Hotel, and on Saturday nights from 11pm-1am on www.castleclub.com, it's an online radio station based out of Ayia Napa in Cyprus (that's why it's so late, it's the prime-time show but we're a couple of hours ahead of Europe).
He likes to have fun but takes his music very seriously and, in answer to the question 'what sort of things do you play?' he replied 'really good music that you won't hear anywhere else'. He's also got lots of exciting stuff planned for the coming months but more of that in the near future.
Dara Singh – A stalwart of the Paris club scene for lots of years, he's got eclectic taste in music and plays an elegant mix of electronic sounds that can either liven an evening or chill right down in the early hours. In collaboration with Budha Bar's DJ Ravin, he's also just released a mix CD to mark Bushido's fourth anniversary. Catch him at Bushido next to the Ritz-Carlton every day and night.
Dave Hayes – Time Out columnist Dave plays chilled house by the pool at Coral Bay and has also just opened for Ministry of Sound featuring Sheldon.
Derek J – The man behind the sound at the recently-opened Sky Bar at the Diva Hotel, Derek's from Karachi, Pakistan, and got into DJing ten years ago. He says he's blinded by a love of electronic music and his style is deep house, tech and techno house. He's the resident at Sky Bar but can also be heard playing late nights at Muju and expect to find him popping up at pool parties over the summer.
DJ Jabu – Hailing from Quebec, Canada, DJ Jabu is new to Bahrain and has only been on the island for a couple of months. She's been playing and studying jazz bass for 14 years and has a wealth of experience behind the decks having played with the likes of Avrum Gold of Lost Tribe, WiZdom and Tony Soupliotis. She's performed at many of Montreal's famous clubs such as The Loft and Salon Daome banging out Canadian feel-good vibes with a housey oldskool feel. She says: "I love tech-house, techno and house. I prefer more underground beats, but I also enjoy some mainstream, popular songs. Depending on what the crowd is craving at a party, I will mix it up to get everyone dancing!" You can find her at Bizarre Lounge at the Kempinski Ixir Hotel Bahrain City Centre from 9pm-2am Wednesday to Friday.
DJette Kiwi – If you want to catch Kiwi in Bahrain, you'll have to be quick as she'll shortly be off to Ibiza and the south of France for the summer season, it's a hard life!
Kiwi began her music career in Paris with infamous lounge producer Hovannes K in 2007. Originally a vocalist, she slowly incorporated mixing into her repertoire and within two years was playing major venues in the French capital such as the infamous Montana, VIP, BC and Palaise du Tokyo. Today she travels the world playing for crowds in the tens of thousands at events such as New York Fashion Week.
She says: "My music is positive vocal house, with some teeth. I also get into a bit of lounge/chillout and the hipster scene (indi and rock n roll), if the moment calls for it."
And, being originally a vocalist, you may also hear her take to the mic.
You can catch kiwi upstairs at Meisei Wednesday to Friday until around June 12 – after that, you'll have to head to the Balearics!
DJs Youss and Daniel – These two come as a pair and are the resident house spinners at Zoe. They've been there ages and play consistently good sets of the more commercial house but they also bring in some seriously respectable international acts so extra koudos for that. They're at Zoe Lounge and Terrace most nights.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Hardwood Vs. Engineered Flooring and other Hardwood-Flooring topics.
One radical difference between solid and engineered hardwood flooring comes when making the decisionon whether to refinish your floor. Solid wood flooring lends itself to refinishing more easily, as the planks are made of a singular sturdy piece of lumber. On the other hand, engineered hardwood flooring has several plies of wood, so sanding is not as necessary. In fact, sanding usually takes 1/32 inch off the top of the floor, so an engineered floor with a 2mm top hardwood layer can really only be sanded once or twice in its lifetime.
If you have a damaged area of an engineered hardwood floor, it's best to have that area removed and replaced by flooring professionals rather than attempting to refinish the entire floor.

In about 120 words, write about a book you have read recendy. The report should have the following information. (Với 120 từ, viết về cuốn sách em mới đọc gần đây, tường thuật nên có những thông tin sau.)
• Name(s) of the author(s)
• Year of publication
• The title of the book
• The length of the book
• The main theme of the story
• The setting of the story
A few weeks ago, I read the novel "The Old Man and The Sea", by Emest Hemingway published in 1946.
The whole book ties together a story about an old fisherman trying to catch a fish and a deeper story about a man templing to prove to society that he is not useless. This novel is an example of Man's struggle to maintain dignity on face of adversity - difficulties and risks - the image of an old fisherman, Santiago, in the immense sea.
Throughout the story, Santiago, the main character, strusạled persistently and unyieldingly in the facc of various risks. Santiago could not give up his struggle to maintain his "man" - when sharks attacked and tore his fish bit by bit, which he got after restless days and nights in ihe open sea - it is as if they were tearing apart his dignity bit by bit.
To Hemingway the human dignity should be so important that he is willing to die for it. If a man will not risk his life for his dignity, then what is in this life to live for? Hemingway's book deciphers man's constant battle with maintaining the right to keep his head uphigh.
In conclusion, this book is worth reading and it offers us a precious lesson in life: always maintain one's dignity.

Top 20 Albums of 2010 (Part 4: Albums 1-5)
(5) Glasser – The Ring – My single greatest regret as a music fan this year was sleeping on this album up until about three weeks ago. If I got this in time for the summer, it would probably have been even higher on this list. This is one of the most talented groups I've listened to in a while and if you aren't stoked to go see them after watching the video at the bottom of this post we probably can't be friends…
Standout Track: Plane Temp, Tremel, Apply
Recommended If You Like: Bat For Lashes, The XX, Bjork, Felili
Purchase 'Ring' by Glasser on iTunes – Download
(4) Kings of Leon – Come Around Sundown – I said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who downplays Kings of Leon's songwriting ability saying they are just a pop rock machine with a country twang needs to listen to "The End" and reevaluate. There is so much soul and depth to this song it's amazing, right down to the old-time back porch piano outro…
Standout Track: The End, Radioactive, Back Down South, Pickup Truck
Recommended If You Like: My Morning Jacket, Pearl Jam, Mumford & Sons
Purchase 'Come Around Sundown' by Kings of Leon on iTunes – Download
(3) The Black Keys – Brothers – Unless you've been on an extended heroin binge or spiritual expedition for this entire year you've heard this record and know exactly why it's up here. It's good to see these guys finally get the credit they deserve, they've been killing it on a smaller scale for almost a decade now.
Standout Track: Next Girl, Tighten Up, Ten Cent Pistol
Recommended If You Like: Kings of Leon, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs
Purchase 'Brothers' by The Black Keys on iTunes – Download
(2) Minus The Bear – OMNI – I've seen these guys live more than any other band not from New York in the past five years. This album is their best. It's dance-y, it's technically savvy, and Dave Knudson is my all time favorite guitar man crush.
Standout Track: Broken China, My Time, Animal Backwards
Recommended If You Like: I really don't know who to compare these guys to, just get the friggin' album and all their others for that matter.
Purchase 'Omni' by Minus the Bear on iTunes – Download
(1) Arcade Fire – Suburbs – Surprise, surprise right? These guys have been top 2 in pretty much every 'best of' list I've seen this year. Guess what, there's a reason for it. The Arcade Fire is the best band out there not called Radiohead. They're music is earthy and natural, yet still progressive and unconventional. These guys manage to take vagabond gypsy rock and make it sound U2-esque. Win Butler and crew could be the best band to come out of the 00's….true story.
Standout Track: The Suburbs, Ready To Start, Month of May, Wasted Hours
Recommended If You Like: U2, Kings of Leon, My Morning Jacket
Purchase 'The Suburbs' by Arcade Fire on iTunes – Download
Honorable Mention: Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy – okay, soI admit this one deserved to make the actual list. I just couldn't bring myself to do it though, he's just such a douche. Oh well, I guess if Bon Iver can get over that and work with him on this record, I should be able to give him an honorable mention slot. He gets no purchase link though!

Cindy and I spent six weeks in Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Patagonia, and Antarctica in early 2008. Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls we did on our own. The Antarctica part of the trip was the "Explorer's Route" trip by Quark Expeditions. Finally, we spent 2 weeks hiking around Patagonia with World Expeditions.
Here is a selection of our favorite 76 photos and videos from our trip.
Here are lots more photos and videos from the trip, arranged by place in case you want to see photos from only part of the trip (for example, Patagonia only).
Here are 5 photographs from each photographer on the Antarctica part of the trip.
If you can't view the videos, try installing Quicktime. Also good to have is the free VLC media player, which can play just about any media.
My new video camera shoots video in MPEG4 (.MP4) format, which gives beautiful results. Unfortunately, even though MPEG4 is a standard (and is much better quality than older standards), it is not yet well supported on all platforms (especially Windows), so you might need to install some (free) software.


text: Just came back from watching the Cirque De Soleil, their Saltimbanco show at the Air Canada Centre. I've seen it before on TV and DVD but never live. It was amazing!! Such grace, strength, skill and flexibility. Wonderful music. The costumes were colourful and quirky. The acts were just fantastic. For those not familiar with the Cirque De Soleil experience, they only have human performers from around the world. There are no animal acts.A bicyclist doing things on a bicycle which should never ever be attempted at home. Chinese pole acrobats. Duo trapeze. Hilarious clown and mime acts. And my favourite was one I had never seen before called the Boleadoras. Boleadoras Two performers twirl boleadoras in the air. A boleadora is a simple percussion instrument made of a weight attached to the end of a cord. The weights bounce off the ground and make exploding sounds either in unison or in counterpoint to the dance steps of the performers. Invented in Argentina, the boleadoras were used by hunters to catch wild game in the pampas - or plains. This act is traditionally performed by men and brings together the sounds of the boleadoras and the influences of flamencoRussian SwingChinese Pole Acrobats

Expecting a baby can be one of the most exciting, rewarding, overwhelming and expensive times in your life. Preparing for the arrival of your baby and taking proper care of yourself during pregnancy, involves some additional expenses that are unavoidable.
Once the baby finally puts in an appearance, ensuring that your child has the best possible start in life can have an enormous impact on your financial circumstances. So how can you reduce the cost of parenting and make the whole thing more enjoyable?
You will need to separate your needs from your wants when deciding what you will need for your new baby. Stick to the basics. Check out parenting websites for a list of what you really need.
Sit down and write out a budget that takes into account all the extra expenses that are pregnancy related. This is particularly important for two income families that are planning to live on one income for a period of time after the birth of the child. Once you have a budget laid out, start looking for areas where you can shave off some of the expenses.
Start saving now
If you are planning to go from two incomes to one, try living off one income during pregnancy and saving the other person's income. This will not only help you build up your savings rapidly, it will help you determine how well you will be able to manage on one income.
Don't buy new
Borrow or buy used maternity clothes rather than spending money on a new wardrobe. Most pregnant women wear their usual clothing for the first three months and only need maternity clothes for the last six months. You can find gently-used maternity wear at second hand stores, consignment shops and garage sales or get them on loan from friends or family.
Baby clothes
Don't go overboard when buying baby clothes. Baby clothes are cute but they are ridiculously expensive. Babies really don't need much and they grow out of their clothes very quickly. You can often get gently-used baby clothes for free from friends and family or buy them for a pittance at garage sales.
The nursery
When decorating a nursery for your baby, keep it simple. The emphasis should be on creating a safe, comfortable, relaxing environment. Many of the items you need for a nursery can be borrowed or purchased used. Paint the room in a versatile neutral colour so that you can easily redecorate it as your child grows, by changing a few accessories.

I'm not really into basketball sneakers like I used to but when I post something, that means I consider it a JUANT.
This one is definitely an exception. Something that you don't wanna be using on the pavement or even on the hard court! It's just waaaaay to precious. You can't use this when you're commuting. Ugly shoes are everywhere, they'll end up stepping on you and won't even be sorry about it.

The previous day, we had said goodbye to our Finnish home and left the movers to pack up all our belongings. We only have one luggage each with us, so that we can survive one week in a hotel.
|Our 'garden' in Finland
All the drive to the airport and before boarding the plane, I squeeze my phone waiting for it to beep again. I can almost forget that we are moving to a foreign country, I'm just so excited for my friend.
The flight is over fast and we land on Frankfurt airport. I open my phone and it beeps: my friend has had a little baby girl!
We take a taxi to Wiesbaden and settle into a hotel. The rest of the day is a bit of blur for me, but at least we got ourselves registered as residents in Wiesbaden.
But today is a day of celebration. We have been living in Wiesbaden for two years now! And what is even more important: the little girl, our goddaughter, is now two years old! Happy birthday little princess!
Syyskuun 16. kaksi vuotta sitten oli erityisen tärkeä päivä meille: silloin muutimme Herr Wellen kanssa Wiesbadeniin. Ja erityisen tärkeäksi päivän tekee se, että ihana kummityttömme syntyi silloin. Paljon onnea prinsessalle!

Australia's Easy Reading New Car News

Road Tests
Lexus GS 450h arrives in June
Home >
News >
Recent new car releases ..... here
Upcoming new car releases ..... here
22nd May, 2012
Lexus Australia will launch its most efficient GS model yet - the all-new
second generation GS 450h in June 2012.
Featuring an advanced petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain, the all-new GS 450h will be priced* from $99,900*
GS 450h's efficient hybrid powerplant consumes just 6.3 litres of fuel per 100 km** - 20 per
cent less than the outgoing model - while CO2 emissions are as low as 147 g/km**.
In keeping with Lexus' performance hybrid mantra, the frugal GS 450h develops a combined power output of 254 kW and
accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds.
GS 450h also features greater space and onboard technology than its predecessor.
An innovative stacked hybrid battery helps liberate 45 per cent more space for the boot - increasing from 320 to 465
litres - while the redesigned chassis delivers greater interior space for occupants.
The GS 450h also continues Lexus' hybrid firsts, with GS 450h becoming the world's first hybrid available with
all-wheel steering, the first to feature an Atkinson cycle engine driving the rear wheels, and the first Atkinson cycle
engine to feature direct and port injection.
The innovative Lexus GS 450h is well-specified, with the availability of an advanced Pre-Collision safety System
(PCS)#, a Driver Fatigue Monitor camera#, and a complementary
Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC)#, which now functions at all speeds down to 0 km/h.
GS 450h's safety suite is boosted by a Blind Spot Monitor# as standard to detect vehicles in
adjacent lanes, and an expanded Head Up Display (HUD) unit that can now display road speed, cruise control, gear
position, turn-by turn navigation and tachometer.
Building on the recently launched GS 250 and 350 range, the GS 450h also features an expanded line-up featuring
Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury models - replacing the previous single Sports Luxury.
Lexus Australia chief executive Tony Cramb said that the all-new GS 450h is a technological showcase.
"From its advanced hybrid drivetrain to its innovative onboard features, it is hard not to be impressed by the
all-new GS 450h hybrid," said Mr Cramb.
"This second generation GS 450h builds on a highly awarded first generation, improving it in almost every area,
including space, efficiency, onboard technology and value."
"Featuring a 20 per cent improvement in value, the all-new Lexus GS 450h will entice customers with its stylish
design, expanded model range, innovative features and engaging driving dynamics."
Ten Airbags for GS
Lexus' new GS 450h has 10 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags as standard equipment.
The driver and front passenger are protected by advanced variable-stage SRS front airbags.
A twin-chamber passenger airbag, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front and rear seat side airbags, and
full-length curtain shield airbags are also included.
Sensors determine the severity of an impact and the speed with which the airbags are deployed.
The driver and front passenger knee airbags work together with the frontal airbags and seatbelts to achieve a better
distribution of the loads imposed on the body during an accident.
The passenger's knee airbag is mounted on the glove box lid.
The GS passive safety package also includes Whiplash-Injury Lessening front seats.

The changes from Lubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 are slight, but aesthetically important.
The overall distro feels even stronger and more stable with more uniform icon sets for all applications (including pcmanfm), a simplified login and updater, a streamlined Lubuntu Software Center, and more robust drivers.
Also, I just found a nice tip for setting up a keyboard shortcut for locking your screen and another nice tip for adding fonts.

Icenium looks promisingLabels: Mobile 0 comments
The world of mobile application development is a sea of constant flux. There are so many services, tools, and toolkits that it seems overwhelming at times. For example: Appcelerator, PhoneGap Build, Trigger.io, The-M-Project, appMobi, RhoMobile [Motorola], DragonRAD [IBM], MoSync, Corona, Wink, Tiggzi, Ludei, AnyPresence, Sencha Touch, jQTouch, ...the list goes on and on...
A new kid on the block is called Icenium (currently in beta) and pulls a lot of the features from various services mentioned above into an attractive end-to-end workflow. Here are some highlights:
- HTML5 CSS3 JavaScript mobile development (a.k.a. Hybrid)
- Apache Cordova (formerly called PhoneGap) -- proxy bridge similar to Trigger.io
- Desktop IDE (Icenium Graphite [Windows-only]) or Cloud IDE (Icenium Mist) with version control -- somewhat similar to Appcelerator and Cloud9
- Real-time simulation (iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S II; Graphite also includes iPad and Android 7" Tablet simulators) -- somewhat similar to RIM Ripple
- Real-time debugging (via WebKit Web Inspector) -- similar to Weinre
- Cloud builds (iOS 4.3+ [iPod, iPhone, iPad], Android 2.2+, Kindle Fire) -- similar to, but less extensive than, PhoneGap Build
- Automatic device sync (via Icenium Graphite/Ion and Icenium LiveSync) -- similar to Adobe Shadow
From the Icenium website:
"The challenge for developers is building applications that work across [all mobile] platforms, since each platform requires different tools and languages. Code written for one platform may not be reusable on another platform. Web developers have solved for this by building websites that are designed for mobile devices — the mobile web. These mobile websites are compatible with mobile browsers on different platforms. However, the mobile web has limitations. Mobile websites can't access many of the device capabilities, are not distributable through the Apple AppStore or Google Play, and require a data connection at all times.
"Icenium is being built to eliminate the complexity associated with cross-platform mobile development. As a cloud-based development solution, web and mobile web developers no longer have to worry about downloading, configuring and managing SDKs. All of that is managed in the cloud. For the first time, developers can focus solely on writing the code that brings their ideas to life, and those ideas can reach users on the most relevant device platforms in the world."

Moving to Aptana Studio 3Labels: JavaScript , MIS / IT 0 comments
I've used the Eclipse IDE for awhile now, and I've decided to give the Eclipse-based Aptana Studio 3 a try. It offers some nice additional features and has returned to active development after the purchase of Aptana by Appcelerator.
That said, I'm being cautious since I wasn't all that impressed by the Appcelerator Titanium Studio IDE (too pushy on the marketing sales aspect).
So far, the only tweaks are setting the default theme to Tomorrow Night (Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes > Import) and add Aptana to my Lubuntu menu -- create a file called aptana.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ and add this text:
Name=Aptana Studio
Comment=Aptana Studio Integrated Development Environment
Then, in Start > Programming, right-click on Aptana Studio and choose Properties. Click on Change Icon, choose the Image Files radio button, and browse to the Aptana Studio folder to select icon.xpm
Update: The experiment was short lived....switching back to Eclipse.

Failed VirtualBox OS X attemptLabels: MIS / IT 0 comments
I had wanted to play around with the latest Mac operating system and this blog post regarding running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) looked promising. Furthermore, an updated post provided details for upgrading to 10.7.4.
After downloading the torrent file (a self-extracting archive) and extracting it (7z e MacOSXLion10.7.3.exe) I followed the YouTube video for applying the VirtualBox settings and gave it a whirl. After a few minutes of the boot load process, I ended up with what a lot of other users reported: a black screen.
Ultimately, I'm convinced it's because I'm running an AMD processor, which Mac doesn't officially support at all and the forums strongly warn you against.
I guess I'll have to wait for my next computer upgrade to attempt another virtual "hackintosh".

As usual, Mac throws up more barriers for developersLabels: MIS / IT 0 comments
For any developer attempting to provide a uniform web experience for their users, testing on multiple browsers is essential. Too often, I browse to a site that was clearly not tested for Firefox (although it works great in IE, or vice versa). Most web developers have multiple browsers installed on their machines for this very purpose. Historically, the most difficult browser to test on was Internet Explorer 7+, since it was only available on Windows operating systems. Well, it appears Macintosh is now taking its cues from Redmond by dropping Safari 6 support for Windows.
From Wikipedia: "As of Version 6 Safari no longer supports Windows operating systems."
As a Linux-based web developer, not only do I need a Windows virtual machine for IE testing, I now need to buy a Mac (ughh) or jump through hoops to virtualize it (ughh redux).

Mobile development truth ... pass it onLabels: Mobile 0 comments
A great preface from Jonathan Stark:
"On top of all this, Apple can—and does—reject apps. This is certainly their prerogative, and maybe they have good reasons. However, from the outside, it seems capricious and arbitrary. Put yourself in these shoes (based on a true story, BTW): you spend about 100 hours learning Objective-C. You spend another 100 hours or so writing a native iPhone app. Eventually, your app is ready for prime time and you successfully navigate the gauntlet that is the App Store submission process. What happens next?

Genealogy tips and issuesLabels: Favorites , Spirituality 0 comments
I'm a big fan of new Family Search but there are three major features that are missing by design:
- Creating nice family history charts
- Finding available names to take to the temple
- Exporting family history data
To resolve these issues, I recommend the following:
- Tree Seek is a great free service for creating nice looking family history charts
- Ancestors Waiting is another wonderful free service that quickly identifies temple-ready names in your lineage
- ?? - all I want is a simple web-based or Linux-based application to download my new Family Search data but alas, I can't find a free service that provides that simple task. Any suggestions? Also, I wouldn't mind paying a nominal annual fee for securely sharing genealogy work among the members of my family but the GUI needs to be clean and simple. (AncestrySync looks promising, but doesn't support Linux)

Normalizing all my audio files with ReplayGainLabels: Audio , Linux 0 comments
ReplayGain is a nice standard for normalizing the volume levels in your audio files. Unfortunately, each audio format has its own library and tools to use it. For example:
- ogg vorbis: vorbisgain
- mp3: mp3gain
- aac (possibly also mp4 audio, m4a, and whatever other extensions Apple uses): aacgain
- flac: metaflac --add-replay-gain
- wavpack: wvgain
cd ~
sudo easy_install -U plac
sudo easy_install -U quodlibet
sudo easy_install -U mutagen
git clone git://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/rganalysis.git
cd rganalysis
To test, try something like:
./rganalysis.py --dry-run <path to music>
To run, use:
./rganalysis.py <path to music>
The full set of command line options can be found here.
P.S. Audacious is a nice audio player that supports ReplayGain by default. Also, to convert wav files to flac, use the following command:
flac --best *.wavP.P.S. If you just want to normalize all audio for any audio player (actually modifying the audio file waveform), you can use normalize:
normalize-audio *

Context menu option to add a song to audacious playlistLabels: Audio , Linux 0 comments
Personally, I like the Audacious audio player. It's simple, supports ReplayGain, automatically adds multiple selected files to the playlist, and is popular.
Recently, I wanted to add a couple songs to an already playing playlist. Although I could just select the file(s) and then drag them to into the player, I wondered if I could create a right-click context menu to add them to the playlist instead. It turned out to be really easy:
Follow this guide and instead of their brasero command line example, use:
audacious -e %UThen, when editing the .desktop files, change the "Name" line to:
Name=Audacious Playlistand add the following line:

Base64 quirks0 comments
Base64 is an amazing text-based encoding scheme. That said, it has its quirks.
For example, RFC 2045 states "Encoded lines must not be longer than 76 characters" but that add excessive processing overhead when, say, converting a 3MB image to base64. However, if you don't add line breaks at all, some browsers and rendering engines choke on large data sets. So, a general rule of thumb is to add a line break char ("\n") every 8191 characters (or every 8000 to keep it simple and allow some cushion). This should fix any browser/renderer issues and make the data much more readable in formats such as SVG.
Another issue: adding base64 data to JSON is problematic because JSON doesn't allow line breaks within a single key/value pair (line breaks are generally stripped out automatically). Viewing a JSON file with a large base64 encoded object will typically give you garbled lines. I've tried a number of editors (gedit, leafpad, tea, eclipse, nano, emacs, scribes, geany) for a decent read-only viewing experience and the best options I've found so far are vim and SciTE.
Note: if you plan on using SciTE, install it and then from the menu choose "Options > Open User Options File" and enter the following:
open.filter=All Files|*.*

Finding the right NoSQL databaseLabels: MIS / IT 0 comments
At work the other day I needed a simple database to store some JSON data. I figured I'd use the opportunity to review the various NoSQL databases available and choose my favorite. My needs were simple:
- Must support Windows and Linux
- Must have a cross-domain read/write RESTful API (preferably without complicated JSONP callbacks)
- MongoDB - no writeable REST interface
- OrientDB - version 1.0 was released this week but was too buggy and the REST interface wasn't cross-domain
- CouchDB - I couldn't find any mention of a RESTful API in their documentation
- ArangoDB - alpha quality, not meant for production
- Riak - doesn't support Windows
- Cassandra - no REST interface
I'll update this post soon with some code samples and instructions on how to install an excellent Dashboard GUI.
P.S. ElasticSearch isn't perfect. As with anything, there's a few gotchas to be aware of.

Compiling PhantomJS 1.5 on WebfactionLabels: Linux 0 comments
Webfaction is a cool web host because they allow you to compile source code and run custom binaries. One example of when this might be useful is to run PhantomJS. Normally, you would download and install the pre-compiled version as described in an earlier post, but I ran into a bug the other day that was fixed in trunk and I couldn't wait for 1.5.1 to be released so I compiled PhantomJS on Webfaction myself and thought I'd share it in case it's useful for anyone else:
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git && cd phantomjs
cp $HOME/src/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs $HOME/bin

Evolution of a PHP backdoor evasionLabels: MIS / IT , Security 1 comments
I came across a rather clever PHP obfuscation technique today that I thought would be worth sharing. Every web server administrator knows it's a constant battle to keep the bad guys out and the cat and mouse game continues to escalate. For example:
Back in the good 'ol days, attackers would use simple code that could be easily detected:
$backdoor = phpinfo();Antivirus and antimalware scanners caught on quickly and detected these infections with relative ease. So, the attackers upped the ante:
By obfuscating the payload it became a little more difficult to analyze. So, the good guys started looking for eval, gzinflate, and base64_encode statements. In response, the attackers obfuscated those signatures as well:eval(gzinflate(base64_decode("U0lKTM5Oyc8vUrBVKMgoyMxLy9fQtAYA")));
$g = strrev("etalf"."niz"."g");By breaking up the decoding mechanism, signature-based detection was much more difficult. Still, the critical eval component was a glaring red flag, so the attackers hid that as well:
$b = "bas"."e64"."_de"."code";
preg_replace("/rAnDOm745/e","phpinfo()","rAnDOm745");By using the eval modifier of the preg_replace function (that "e" on the end of the regexp statement), a string could be substituted and evaluated as PHP code. Clever, but the attacker lost their payload obfuscation in the process. So, as a final knockout punch, the attacker obfuscates the payload as well:
preg_replace("/rAnDOm745/e","Vu3HaJMsade30qrvbeMEw9"^"r\x17R\x2b\x0A\x2e\x22\x1c\x13DX\x13\x40\x19\x02\x1f\x0c\x03\x22m\x5e\x02","rAnDOm745");I know what you're thinking...that's a bizarre mishmash of nonsense. At first glance it looks like base64 encoding (alphanumeric chars & equal signs) on the left and hexadecimal encoding (backslash x then two chars --> \x##) on the right. Both guesses would be wrong. Go ahead and plop it into a php file and see what happens...
Yeah, phpinfo() ran. How? It turns out, PHP strings have some really obscure bitwise operators. If you put a caret (^) between two PHP strings (double-quoted, not single quoted), you can perform a bitwise XOR. A what? Let me explain. Let's say you have a "V" char. This can be represented in binary as 01010110. Yeah, so what? Well, let's say you have a "r" char. This can be represented in binary as 01110010. So what, again, right? Well, let's put these binary values on top of each other:
Now, for each column, if the values on top and bottom match, set a 0. If they don't match, set a 1. So you end up with something like:
Ok, now what? Well, take that final result and convert it from binary back into ASCII. What do you get? A "$" char. Weird! I know. It turns out, if you echo that "nonsense" in the preg_replace replacement field:
echo "Vu3HaJMsade30qrvbeMEw9"^"r\x17R\x2b\x0A\x2e\x22\x1c\x13DX\x13\x40\x19\x02\x1f\x0c\x03\x22m\x5e\x02"you get
$backdoor = phpinfo();Pretty wild, huh? Now if you put all the pieces together, preg_replace is taking a temporary string and replacing it with a bitwise XOR string and then evaluates that string as PHP.
Of course the actual payload of the "Web Shell by Orb" (WSO) backdoor I found on the server was much more complex than a simple phpinfo call. Ughh...I hate spammers.
...hope this tutorial didn't bore too many of you but it took me a few hours to break this apart so I thought it might save someone else the headache.
P.S. It's going to be pretty tough to look for a signature of this kind of attack. The find/replace string can be totally randomized and the spacing around the two strings and the caret can be random as well (..." ^ "...). Also, in bitwise XOR, every char can be represented in a number of ways. So:
"M"^"\x22" = oYour best bet is to disable eval and disable //e altogether.
"s"^"\x1c" = o

text: We went to the mall last weekend (I know I'm a little slow posting) and the nice people at "Santa's Village" actually let me snap a few pictures of Jericho on Santa's lap instead of making me pay the ridiculous amount for them to take the picture. Jericho didn't seemed to mind the big guy in the red suit to much. She actually seemed to enjoy it (I think it was because her daddy was being funny and making her smile.) We had fun taking Jericho to see Santa and then walking the mall as a family.

I waited for you
to come back
so I could show
you the snowflake
I trapped
it started to snow
last week and
my flat was so
cold that I
could see my
companion (breath)
such a good friend
I thought you
two could spend
some time
mixing but
back to the
flake I caught
in my hat
I put it in
the freezer
its huge
like a stiff
peak and
I thought you'd
like to see
but I guess
you got bored
dropping by
or are shy
and I can
see why as
I look at
the flake quivering
sitting singly
you know they say
every snowflake's unique
what they don't
tell you is
nobody gives a shit.
The Blobbing Fish.
Scroll down to read parts I and II. Hope you enjoy it.
a ghost came again–
bolder this time
like it knows it can
pop in
in a manganese
breeze without being
seen this time
i was nice and
didn't fool around
with chocolates and
omelettes, asked
'why are you here'
i saw a diamond like
floating in the air
'sorry but
you'd want to be here'
it cried no more
the only complain
i could make
is my ice cold
then it started
to talk using
my voice in
my head it didn't stop for
and we talked
about one lost
glove two
too-soon grown
teens waltzing
alone in the
bomb-ruins of their
home three freshly
freed prisoners
they're free
cault must be laughing)
and i realized
tears tearing
through time
my cold silence in
everywhere where
change was frozen
and time didn't
know how to
the ghost left
and i just wanted someone there
to warm my fucking bed
The Blobbing Fish.
Scroll down to see the previous part of the poem! 🙂
a ghost came
to visit
the other day
it came in
an opaque mist like
the northern lights
didn't have a face
so I waited
to make sure– it stayed
a mass of colours
the poor thing so
out of place
in my b&w room
didn't want to be rude
so went to get
black chocolate and tea
and started making
omelette but it
sort of swirled around
so i asked if it
didn't like it runny
in retrospect
that might have
pissed it off
poor thing
must have wanted
to be solid
because it
burned like magnesium
and left
me standing alone
bony and monochrome
listening to the
tick tick tick
drip drip drip
and i don't blame
the flurry of colours
for leaving this world of ours

Cardinal John Henry Newman was born this day in 1801, and in his essay, "The Idea of a University," he defines its prime function as "a place for the communication and circulation of thought, by means of personal intercourse, through a wide extent of country." That's as good a definition as any.
Equally astute is his observation that "one generation forms another, and the existing generation is ever acting and reacting upon itself in the persons of its individual members." He believes a university should be a place where "inquiry is pushed forward, and discoveries verified and exposed, and rashness rendered innocuous, and error exposed, by the collision of mind with mind, and knowledge with knowledge." It's a remarkable summation of what higher learning is about.
