Toyota is known to have products that last really long and ownership costs are least over longer durations. The added practicality and engineering give a lot of Peace-of-Mind, dependable experience but are slightly over priced.
Toyota, globally the largest manufacturer of automobiles, entered India via a joint venture with Kirloskar Group. The first launch was Qualis which was an instant hit. Qualis boasted of "Car-Like" driving experience, which was quite opposite to what its chief competitors offered. Also Qualis has better feel to it, as if it was made keeping in mind passenger comfort. When Qualis was discontinued, it was yet to achieve its peak. Even today Qualis does command quite a bit of value in used car market. Qualis quickly made Indians aware of what Toyota stands for : reliability and longetivity along with low long term ownership costs. Toyota replaced Qualis with Innova and even after a decade of successful run, Innova manages to sell in good numbers. Corolla, a premium sedan by Toyota also dominates its segment. Generally not known to make errors and play in a rather safe way, Toyota failed to understand what the majority of car buyers in India need, which was the result of poor sales by Etios twins. However, off late, considering the core Toyota traits, Etios twins are holding on to good value and do offer lower running costs over longer period of time. Camry, its premium offering is priced high, but is acclaimed for its comfort and easy nature. Camry is also the largest selling car in United States of America. Toyota's Fortuner, a premium SUV, rules its segment too. Offering unmatched reliability and low maintenance costs for its segment, Fortuner has also received good success in India.Globally, Toyota is known for its fantastic offroaders, and they are available in India also, but as direct imports and hence very high cost. Not much to fault with, Toyota can certainly improve in offering lower purchase cost and even making product life cycles a bit shorter, especially in view of global players. Toyota has managed to position itself and a premium product, but if it wants to be a mass market player, a step of two faster would bring fantastic results. For long term ownership, Toyota is one of the best and the service experience is also amongst the best.

These days, it's nothing new to go into a restaurant and order fine dining-quality food sourced directly from local farms and served in a stylish-but-casual atmosphere. But it wasn't that long ago that the phrase "farm-to-table" had yet to be uttered – let alone overused. Menus weren't covered with farm references, and the majority of restaurants were either white tablecloth fine dining destinations or strictly casual.
If you look back to the 1990s, the landmark, game-changing restaurants were found on the coasts – think Campanile in Los Angeles or Vong in New York. At that time in Chicago, the spotlight was on fine dining temples of French cuisine like Everest, Charlie Trotter's or Ambria, where jackets (if not suits) were required, and you were expected to keep your elbows off the table, keep your voice down and remember how lucky you were to be there. Restaurateur Richard Melman filled the city with his high-concept Lettuce Entertain You restaurants, and diners flocked to Hat Dance, Scoozi and Papagus for giant portions of largely American takes on Mexican, Italian and Greek food, respectively, served with flair. A few pioneers were establishing the West Loop restaurant district, with spots like Marche and Red Light that were as focused on the concept and theatrics as on the food.
Then, on December 1, 1997, an unlikely group of men opened the doors to their first restaurant, Blackbird. Not many people would have guessed that they would be successful. They didn't have a lot going for them, to say the least. They begged and borrowed money from family members to open the restaurant. They struggled to renovate the debris-filled space their landlord leased them, still splattered with the markings from his paint-ball games, then scrambled to hang on to the space when he put the building up for sale just months later. A series of contractors and workers went through the space, few reliable or able to understand the blueprints. And the money kept running out.
Somehow they got it open, and in the 16 years since, Blackbird has changed the American dining scene. The restaurant put chefs on notice that fine dining-level food could be served to people in jeans and sweaters. That New York-style seating – so close you'd better be in the mood to hear about your neighbor's divorce – would actually play in a town far more used to roomy chairs accommodating equally roomy Midwestern bodies.
You don't have to have eaten at Blackbird, or even in Chicago, to experience its influence. Many of the dozens of chefs who have worked there over the years and gone on to other restaurants around the country cite their time at Blackbird as the most influential on their career. Since opening, Blackbird's success launched one of the most exciting restaurant groups in the country. Here's how it happened:

Sales reporting with Zendesk Sell gives you a quick way to know what's going on in your business. The Sales Funnel Report can help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your sales pipeline over the course of a given timeframe.
The Funnel Report can be filtered by date range, team member or tag.
Pro Tip: The Funnel Report will only show you Deals based on their creation Date. For example, if you have your filter set to view Deals in October 2015, only Deals created in October will show in your report.
The main view in this report is based on Deal creation date. In the screenshot above, you'll see that 28 Deals were created in the Prospecting Stage between March 23rd, 2015 and June 23rd, 2015. Of those Deals, 16 made it to the following stage, for a conversion rate of 51.1%. The Deals continue to waterfall down until the Won Stage, providing an overall win rate of 33.3% for all of the Deals created between March 23rd and June 23rd.
You'll also see exactly where Deals are being lost in your Pipeline. In the screenshot above, you'll see that 3 Deals were moved to Lost directly from the Prospecting Stage. Wondering why? The Loss Reasons by Owner report can shed some light.
Ever wondered exactly which Deals comprised your Funnel Report? If you'd like to see exactly which Deals account for the numbers displayed, just flip the Funnel Report into chart view!
This view will show you the progression of Deals through various stages in more detail. You'll also be able to click on a stage name to see exactly which Deals comprise the numbers show - if you wish, you can even click on the Deal itself to be taken right to it!
The Funnel Report can also be flipped to show you Deal progression starting all the way back from your Leads. You can see this view by clicking on the "Leads" button at the top of the Funnel Report.
Similar to Deals, this will pull Leads based on their creation date. In the example above, 75 Leads were created between January 5th, 2015 and April 5th, 2015. Of those, 21 moved on to Working status, and so on until they were converted to Deals in your Pipeline. This can be a great way to see just how many of your Leads end up resulting in sales for your team. You can also flip this into a chart view, exactly like Deals.
Pro Tip: When looking at the conversion rates for Deals that started as Leads, the timeframe will be based on the Lead's creation date, not on the Deal's added on/created date.

Catering to Special Needs Children and Adults
Tender Care for Long Island Families
We have a special place in our hearts for special needs children. We not only find it rewarding, we know that they need and deserve care that is tailored to meet their unique needs. They are sometimes on medications or special diets that could be detrimental to their oral health, or they have physical difficulty maintaining effective oral health habits at home. This makes them extremely susceptible to dental disease or oral injury.
Our doctors will propose treatment based on the specific dental and emotional needs of your special child. Your child will also benefit from the preventive approach recommended for all children – effective brushing and flossing, diet counseling, adequate fluoride, and regular professional cleanings.
Treatment Plans for Special Kids and Their Families
We know you are concerned about the long-term as well as the short-term health of your child's teeth. That's why we will be happy to design a preventive care and treatment plan for your child so that he or she may enjoy a lifetime of good dental health.
What Makes Us Different
Training: Our doctors have completed two years of specialty training in providing care for children with special needs and comprehensive education in behavior management, sedation and hospital dentistry. Because of our doctors' gentle touch and clinical expertise, they are often the clinicians of choice for the dental care of children and adults with special needs in the Long Island area.
Sedation and Hospital Dentistry: Some children need more support to feel comfortable during dental treatment. That's when sedation or hospital dentistry may benefit your child. Performed in an operating room at NYU Winthrop Hospital, Stony Brook University Hospital, and Northwell Health-Syosset Hospital or the familiar surroundings of our office, your child will be asleep under general anesthesia. This allows us to perform any dentistry under ideal circumstances, on an out-patient, ambulatory basis.
We work closely with parents and families to help special needs children stay healthy and smile for life! Call to tour our office or meet with Dr. Ehrenman or Dr. Khan today!
"We have been going to see Ehrenman and Khan for two years. When I discovered that Dr. Glen worked with special needs kids, I knew I wanted him to be our pediatric dentist. The difference between Dr. Glen and other dentists was night and day. Before, Lexy had to be held down and Robin couldn't do it anymore. We went to Dr. Glen and he said. "Oh no, you're not going to hold her." It was amazing. Now she just relaxes and sits in the chair. The biggest thing is Dr. Glen's patience. Lexy senses that patience even though she can't speak. She's never had any pain – the whole procedure was spot on. They told us what was going to happen and that is exactly what did happen. To me, that is very important. Everyone here treats you like family. There is no resistance in going anymore!" – The Krause Family

Twitter suspends Laughspin writer's Bill Nye parody account, 200,000 followers sad
It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while Twitter will decide to suspend a hilarious parody account, because it violates their policy that states no user is permitted to imitate another person. And this week, it happened to one of our own, Laughspin scribe and comedian Lucas Gardner.
The nearly 200,000 tweeters following @Bill_Nye_tho, which imagined the famous mechanical engineer as a sort-of stoner who, unlike the real 56-year-old Bill Nye – aka The Science Guy – is up on all the latest social media-speak, had the day-brightening feed taken away from them.
Gardner has no intentions of bringing it back, even if Twitter changes its mind. "I was disappointed they decided to suspend the account," he tells Laughspin. "They're very strict about parody pages. I said in the bio 'I'm not the real Bill Nye,' but I guess you have to explicitly use the word 'parody.' Lesson learned."
"I didn't really tell anyone I ran it until it got suspended and other people starting making fake Bill Nye pages and saying they were me," he adds. "My account is fully retired now. It had a good run. A lot of people are tweeting me to tell me how much they liked it. Also, just as many people are telling me how weird it is to find out @Bill_Nye_tho isn't black. Some people are literally angry about that!"
And although the Buffalo-based 22-year-old aspiring stand-up and comedy writer doesn't plan on launching a new parody account, you might like to know he's got another feed that actually predates @Bill_Nye_tho. "I write it from the perspective of a 15 year-old from Ecuador who only tweets about Dragonball Z," Gardner says about @love_that_Goku. "After I outed myself as @Bill_Nye_tho I revealed that I run that account too, which may have been a mistake because people really wanted to believe it was a real person. I probably shouldn't have dropped the illusion. Hopefully people enjoy it anyway."
We'll keep an eye on it, Lucas! Also, Laughspinners—you should keep an eye on @Lucas_Gardner, which is also very entertaining.

New York Supreme Court Determines that a Hospital Use Real Estate Tax Exemption is Defined by the Public Health Law and Applies to Portions of a Property Used as an Extension Clinic
New York Real Property Tax Law ("RPTL") § 420-a mandates that for a property owned by an entity organized exclusively for hospital purposes that is used exclusively for such purposes, a real estate tax exemption must be granted. In situations where only a portion of the property at issue is used exclusively for hospital purposes, the owner is entitled to a partial real estate tax exemption based on the proportion of the property, on a square foot ("SF") basis, that is devoted exclusively to hospital purposes. By Decision and Order dated August 12, 2010, the New York Supreme Court, Wayne County, Hon. Kenneth R. Fisher, J.S.C., concluded that the Petitioner ViaHealth of Wayne ("Petitioner") was entitled to partial real estate tax exemption based on the SF proportion of its property in the Town of Sodus ("Town") that is used exclusively for hospital purposes for each of the tax years in question.
In short, the Court concluded that Petitioner is entitled to summary judgment on the issue of its entitlement to a mandatory real estate tax exemption under RPTL § 420-a because its organizational structure fulfilled the broad definition of "hospital" found in Public Health Law § 2801. In so concluding, the Court rejected the Town's contention that the Public Health Law's broad definition of "hospital" did not apply when determining a hospital use real estate tax exemption under RPTL § 420-a. The Court set forth the following:
Here, petitioner establishes prima facie that the Public Health Law definition of hospital is properly used in making an analysis under RPTL § 420-a. There is decisional law supporting petitioner's position that the Public Health Law definition may be used in making a RPTL § 420-a analysis, and respondent brings before the court no compelling decisional law in this jurisdiction to the contrary.
Id. at 10 (emphasis added, internal citations omitted).
While the Court concluded that Petitioner was organized exclusively for hospital purposes, it also determined that because a portion of the property was used exclusively as an extension clinic of Rochester General Hospital ("RGH") where RGH employs salaried physicians to treat RGH patients, Petitioner was entitled to an RPTL § 420-a mandatory use partial real estate tax exemption. In so concluding, the Court distinguished the Property's use from that found in Genesee Hospital v. Wagner, 47 A.D.2d 37 (4th Dep't 1975). In Genesee Hospital, the Fourth Department concluded that the taxpayer hospital was not entitled to a hospital use exemption for its medical office building because the doctors therein were private practitioners and not hospital-salaried physicians who used the property as a medical office building to treat private-pay patients. Here, the Court concluded that Petitioner was entitled to a hospital use exemption because "the physicians working in this capacity are salaried employees of RGH working in an extension clinic, nor merely a doctor's office building." Id. at 11.
Finally, the Court followed established law to conclude that the failure to file an application for a real estate tax exemption with the Assessor does not abnegate its entitlement to have the property declared exempt under RPTL § 420-a.

"There goes Honey Boo Boo" — that should be the new title, ha ha.
NEWS: TMZ reports that TLC has cancelled "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" in the wake of allegations that June Shannon, aka Mama June, is dating convicted child molester Mark McDaniel.
According to the TMZ, the network has already shot an entire season of new episodes, but will not air them due to the allegations, as they believe that Shannon is putting her children at risk.
In a world that ignores and covers up domestic violence and child abuse in professional sports, where whole networks are dedicated to hunting and killing animals, I am skeptical of TLC's swift action to cancel "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo".
Is it a ploy to placate those of us who are outraged?
Is it just another spin — will HCHBB be reinstated after a short period of time, like that other stupid show, "Duck Dynasty"?
Or is this another kind of spin to garner more publicity and gauge the pulse of the public with regard to just exactly how much we'll tolerate?
Were the advertisers outraged?
This is all speculation on my part because I don't watch the show.
And why not, you might ask?
Yes, it's offensive on a myriad of levels, but the major reason is that it pains me to my core to watch so many horrible fashion choices.
Happy Friday, y'all!

This four-week program is a great way to jump-start new growth by shocking your muscles by using heavier weight and lower reps on some exercises followed by lighter weight and higher reps on others. To fully maximize potential growth to a muscle, you have to train both fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers. That is the reason behind the different rep schemes throughout each workout. This is a high-volume and high-intensity approach to gaining new lean muscle mass.
I want you resting 1 to 2 minutes max in between sets. This will not only build up your muscular endurance, but ensure that you are in the gym to work and not to screw around. Even though you will be using heavier weight on the lower rep sets, always be mindful of proper form and make sure you are contracting the target muscle. If you cant feel the target muscle doing the work, lower the weight. You will be getting four days of weight training and three days off each week. You will need these days to rest and recover. Make sure you do just that because this is the time you are growing and allowing your system to rest before you get after it again.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum is a combination of pot-stilled and column-stilled Barbadian rums that are initially aged in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks for 12-20 years. They are then transported to France for a second 12-18 months aging in small French oak casks.
The first bottle of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary was created for the head of Cognac Ferrand Estate Alexandre Gabriel to honor his 20th year running the company. This special gift has resulted in the bottling we see today.

Drink it, love it and drink it again :-)
Smooth, somewhat sweet and lots of vanilla
In this crazy world of rum it is easy to be misguided by the number printed on some of these bottles, so let this be said. This rum is not 20 years old, but that doesn´t mean that it is bad.
Nose: Caramel, vanilla and a hint of fried bananas
Taste: Thick and sweet with caramel, vanilla and a hint of orange peel. Short and thin aftertaste
Overall: This rum is on the sweeter side, but it still holds up well against other rums in that category. It fills the mouth, but leaves soon after swallowing, which hurts the rating a bit
Well over 1,900 aged dark rums enjoyed and Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is easily on my Top 5 list after 15 years. It is sublime, super smooth, no burn at all and contains plenty of amazing flavors. If you haven't tried yet Plantation XO 20th Anniversary, go quickly and get a bottle since it will set a brand new benchmark for your personal rum list.
Nose: Hints of spicy oak on the nose with guava, plenty of coconut and dried banana.
Palate: Spiced, creamy palate entry, with sweet vanilla notes and a lot of caramel.
Finish: Caramel. Toasted oak. Caramel.
This far, this rum is simply the BEST! At it's price point, presentation, color, nose, smoothness... It stands as a legitimate contender as among the best money can buy! This is a pure sipping rum that you should not dare water down. Maybe one ice cube just for temperature sake (I like my spirits on the cooler side). Creamy, vanilla, honey, nuts, fruit, it is all there. And just epic smooth!
This is a nice rum for beginners. it hit a good spot on sweetness and vanilla. Beautiful bottle and overall presentation too. Wish it had been allowed to stand on its own without so much sugar though,
edited to add sugar test results- 29g
The first smell was amazing, sweet with molasses and brown sugar. The taste is similar, with a great drawn out and slightly spicy initial punch turning into a long sweet finish that's just the right amount of oil.
Very fancy bottle with huge cap on top. Super balanced flavor in every aspect. Excellent price/performance ratio.
Wow... unbelievable taste.... currently my No1.👍
Its like caress...
nice bottle is just add. cherry on the top
Thank you for this rum !
This is close to perfection. A perfect marriage of a touch of sweetness with wonderful complexity and unique character. The color? Deserving of a place in the best Caribbean island sunsets. The aroma? Enticing in all the right ways.
The taste? It opens up with everything you expect from a premium sipping rum, and then goes on to top that by giving a light and pleasant toasted coconut flavor for miles and miles on the finish. This rum has the most finish and best mouthfeel I've had the pleasure of sipping this far.
While I have yet to find anything that is this delicious and unique yet, I gave it a 9 with hope that some of the really premium stuff out there I have not yet tried may still be better yet. Hard to imagine though.
This is tops and should be in every rum lovers collection. Hell, even if the rum was average, that bottle screams out pure rum awesomeness.
A smooth, sipping rum with a flavor that is more coconut forward than most. Still, sweet, delicious, and a great value!
Plantation has a few really good bottles, but in my opinion this isn't one of them. As is the Plantation way, they have taken a rum, this time from Barbados, and added a lot of sugar. At the $40-$50 price, there are just far better rums ... Especially Barbados rums.
Damn near perfect. One of the finest rums I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, fantastic sipper. A wonderfully balanced rum with just the right amount of sweetness and thick caramel finish.
So it's sweet vanilla banana with toasted coconut. That's what's up. And cane sugar 🤔
Way better than expected for some one who genert finds Barbados rumb bit dull.
Tones of amandel and anijs. Sweet and fresh. Real tastebomb. Love it
I wrote a much longer description but it kicked me off before I could submit it. Not doing that again. I will just say this... this is my new favorite rum and it will be hard to top for me. The perfect combination of complexity and hint of sweetness.
I picked up a bottle off of the reviews I saw on here and I have to say, they were spot on by giving this such a high rating! So after being a fine Scotch drinker for so many years and then being introduced to fine Rums from a buddy of mine, I've really come to appreciate the flavors in my drinks. I picked up Caramel, Vanilla, and it has a slight spice to it. The color is beautiful and there's very little burn on the way down. I highly suggest trying it if you haven't! This bottle was actually my gateway to Platantion Rums and I've been pretty impressed with all of them that I've tried to date for the money!
Those who are against adding sugar to rum post-distillation will be the ones that don't fancy Plantation XO. If you appreciate when a distillery does so with good taste and finesse, then you will more than likely find this to be an exceptional tasting. Have it neat, with a little water or ice, or in an old-fashioned. Lots of tropical fruit notes and a rich, caramelized depth. Baja style taken under French influence for blending and bottling (they traditionally add sugar when they bottle cognac).
When I first tasted this one, I was very tired after a long day and not really able to appreciate how good this rum is. Following the reviews, I decided to get a bottle anyway and what a great decision this has been!
This is different to any other rums I tried so far yet so nice. Coconut is really obvious in both, smell and taste. Very, smooth with a great finish and a pleasant aftertaste.
The bottle design makes it a great present and the content won't disappoint either.
Was considering a 10 but am keeping it for later as I haven't had a chance to try some of the top rated rums yet. This is nevertheless my new best alongside the Presidente 19Y.
I like it, it has a good flavor and you can appreciate so much the sugar! it is one of my favorite Rum.
Surprising harshness and burn for an XO rum, disappointing
Nice caramel nose. Maybe a quick initial alcohol bite but quickly moves to a smooth mid and finishing taste. Light caramel vanilla flavor with varying degrees of coconut influence at different tastings. I can see where some would gravitate to it but I prefer the Diplomatico Reserva Oder it and feel both are outclassed by the Ron Centenario 25
Veľká, mohutná, ťažká fľaša poctivého a dobre vyváženého rumu. Pochádza z Barbadosu a je namiešaný zo zmesí rumov starých 12-20 rokov. V pohári zlatistá až mahagónová farba, po pár minútach sa rozvinú tóny kakaa, vanilky, pomarančov, medovice. Veľmi vyvážená voňa, každý si v nej nájde niečo svoje, či už sladšie, alebo korenistejšie. Jedna z najlepších rumových aróm. U mňa za vôňu 9,5 boda. Chuť je tak isto komplexná, veľmi hladký rum s kratším chvostom. Pri prvom kontakte na jazyku zacítite jeho sladkosť, potom sa rozvinú korenistejšie chute a na záver môžete zacítiť aj dubový súdok. Takto by mal podľa mňa chutiť dobrý aged rum a podľa neho by sa mohli porovnávať kvality ostatných rumov. Výborná voľba. Prudko odporúčam.
wow exquisito, nuez moscada, canela,vainilla y clavo lleno de roble que es maravilloso,con un posgusto largo y delicado.recomendodo 100%
Maybe on the sweet side, but very smooth. One of my favorites. Loving it!
Change in bottle design but still the same great quality you would expect from the Plantation fine line of rums. Very flavorful and complex without the burn or syrupy cough medicine taste. Pleasing on the palate a sensational rum to enjoy neat!
Should not be without this rum in your collection!

Ticket #5082 (closed defect: fixed)
Windows XP Guest fails to access USB memory card reader on Solaris
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|VirtualBox 3.0.4
|Guest type:
|Host type:
I have been working with several people on the Solaris X86 Yahoo alias to try and resolve this issue. I am using the SXCE release of Solaris X86. I have tried snv_111 and snv_123 for this.
Note that Solaris X86 recognizes cards inserted into this device just fine and pops up a file manager windows when I do so. So this is not a device Solaris has a problem handling. I also know that it works fine on a native Windows system (of course).
I am trying to access a memory card reader. VB Settings does detect the device to add a filter for me automatically. Here are the filter details:
Generic Mass Storage Device [0100] 058F 6366 0100 Generic Mass Storage Device 058F0O1111B1 <blank> No
Unfortunately it fails to attach in the Windows XP Guest, where it gives an error:
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Trying to get a version that had the bug fix for 6849326 in it (fixed in snv_122) I upgraded to snv_123. No change to my results.
One person suggested that he changed the last two lines in /etc/logindevperm so that the 0600 for the two USB device types listed there was changed to 0666.
Strange as it may seem, this actually did work better. At least it saw the reader and it attached to it. Windows presented the expected messages about a new device being found and I saw a new drive icon with a letter assigned to it appear.
Unfortunately the second I put a Compact Flash card in the reader the Windows VM hung, and I mean hung hard. Nothing in Windows XP responded to the mouse (although I think the pointer did change to the Windows one). The only thing for the VM window that responded was the close button in the upper left, and I had to wait until it asked me to do a Force Quit (Gnome asks that) to get it to shut down. The VB application was still responsive, so I could have used that instead.
My system is configured like this: Two Dual Core AMD Opteron 2.8GHz CPUs Dual 1TB drives with multiple ABEs on them using mirrored ZFS boot partitions 6 500GB drives configured as a single RAID 5 ZFS volume of about 3TB with one as a hot spare 32GB of RAM Dual Gb Broadcom NICs Adaptec adpu320 SCSI card w/tape drive nVidia video card with dual outputs to two monitors Working sound, USB, and Firewire devices All devices in the system are fully supported by Solaris X86
USB devices should Just Work with a VM and not even require a filter, but I could live with that in this case if the bloody thing would just work as it is supposed to.
Feel free to contact me about this bug. I desperately need this feature to work correctly for the development work I am doing under Windows XP on this system. I have enough ABEs that I can always create a new one for testing a fix.

Set your weird-o-meters to full guys...
Today I am working in my snv_111 ABE again and I had to re-attach the card reader to the system. I used to have it plugged in the back, but was trying to use it on another system where Windows is running Native.
So when I plugged it in I hooked it up to this USB + Firewire thingy I have in place of my floppy drive, because it is more convenient than trying to plug it in the back again, especially since I was going to move it right after this.
Damned if the device didn't get read under the Windows VM I already had running. I have that change still in the /etc/logindevperm file for this ABE.
The one difference I can really point to is that I attached it after the VM was up and running, plus it is on a different USB controller number (c11 instead of c7).
I noticed that I had to disable that filter in VB before Solaris saw it, so it is available either in the VM or in Solaris, not both at the same time. But that is something I can easily live with.

Under no host does VirtualBox support sharing USB devices between host and guest (like an iPhone where Photos are loaded on the host and the guest is given some other configuration).
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by lvskiprof
Yes, I figured that out when it finally started to work last night. But what I had to do to get it to work seems to suggest that USB support in VB is broken. I should not have had to edit a file manually in /etc.
comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by ramshankar
Agreed on Solaris hosts there's still work being done in this area and will get much better.
comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by lvskiprof
I still think this should be considered a blocker, or something more serious than minor. Last night it actually worked fine. Today I tried it, bringing up the VM (which I had the state Saved for from last night) and when I plugged a memory card in the VM crashed. Another time it simply hung and had to be aborted. I forget just which problem happened first. I am currently running that VM without the reader attached, but when I attach it (with no card inserted) I get an error saying it is currently busy with a request. Anything that can kill or freeze a VM is more than "minor".
I am going to attach my logs from today in a zip file. The .3 file shows the errors I was getting the first time. I am hoping the others may be of some use as well.
Changed 10 years ago by lvskiprof
- attachment VBox.logs.zip added
Zip file of logs from 9/29/2009 showing problems with VM crashing w/USB
comment:7 Changed 10 years ago by lvskiprof
Final note. When I got that error saying it was busy with a previous request I tried to deselect the USB device for the VM. That hung the VM. You should see that in the VBox.log file in the zip file I just uploaded. It looks similar to what is at the end of the .3 file.
comment:8 Changed 10 years ago by ramshankar
- priority changed from minor to major
Blockers are far more serious bugs like freezing the entire host or complete install failures. I can move this to major but the fix will take time as part of newer USB support.
comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by ramshankar
- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Please try VirtualBox 3.1 (NOTE! requires Solaris nevada 124 or higher) since it has rewritten USB support, please re-open the ticket if the problem persists.

Philip Koehring and G. H. Miller are credited with developing the first dry batch paver. Koehring Machine Company was founded in 1907 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to build concrete mixers and pavers, and became Koehring Company in 1920. It produced its first cable excavator the following year; oddly, its No. 2 model preceded the No. 1 onto the market.
Koehring Company (Collection 445) bought The Parsons Company (Collection 1159) in 1929, and it became one of a number of manufacturers affiliated in the National Equipment Corporation marketing group (Collection 3481). The Corporation was dissolved just two years later, but Parsons remained a division of Koehring, and Parsons went on to produce a wide range of wheel and ladder trenchers. The Parsons name also appeared on Koehring's Dumptors (see Issue 37) in the mid to late 1960s.
In 1976, Koehring divested itself of the Parsons division. The rubber-tired trencher line was sold to Seaman Corporation (Collection 1357); early in 1977, Seaman closed the Parsons plant in Newton, Iowa, and moved the operations to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, under the Seaman Parsons Corporation name. Then, in January 1978, Seaman acquired the Digz-All Trencher Company Division of Wind-King Manufacturing Company (Collection 577). In 1992, Maxon Industries, Inc. (Collection 1023) purchased the trencher lines from Seaman and moved them to its own plant in Milwaukee; the Seaman-Maxon, Inc. name was used at least at the outset, but the Parsons trade name was used for the trenchers as of fall 2007.
The large wheel and ladder trenchers were sold to Trenchliner, a new company established in Austin, Texas, and named after the Parsons trade name for the machines. Trenchliner folded in 1980, and Michael Kukla International bought the line; while Kukla continues to build ladder trenchers today, the last machines from the Parsons lineage were produced in 1984.
Koehring Company (Collection 445) acquired Schield-Bantam Company (Collection 137) as a division in 1963. Schield's Bantam line of cable excavators was inspired by a Koehring 303 acquired by principal Vern Schield. The Thew Shovel Company (Collection 535) was merged into Koehring in 1964 to become its Thew-Lorain Division. Bantam products continued until 1982, but the Lorain line was reduced by 1976 to the L790 crawler crane. Koehring sold the Lorain wheel loader line to Massey-Ferguson Ltd. (Collection 472) in 1971.
Koehring acquired hydraulic component manufacturer Husco in 1968 as a subsidiary. It also acquired The Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company (Collection 202), which it sold to Bomag (Collection 176), and the C. S. Johnson Company (Collection 440). West Brick Buggy Corporation (Collection 3008) developed the Skytrak extended-reach forklift, and Koehring either acquired the product line of the company.
Koehring products were manufactured in England by Newton Chambers & Company under the NCK name. In 1974, it also had a licensing agreement with IHI - Ishikawajima Construction Machy Co. - Compact Excavator Sales (Collection 858).
As of 1974, Koehring owned or produced:
• Schield Bantam truck crane, crawler crane, self-propelled hydraulic crane, truck hydraulic crane, crawler hydraulic backhoe and hydraulic log loader;
• Koehring crawler hydraulic backhoe, crawler dragline and crawler crane;
• Lorain truck crane, truck tower crane, self-propelled hydraulic crane, crawler hydraulic backhoe and crawler crane;
• Koehring-Waterous pulpwood grinder, pulpwood harvester and crawler hydraulic backhoe;
• Johnson Division (former C. S. Johnson Company) concrete batch plant, batch plant components, stationary concrete mixer, and slipform paver;
• MKT (McKiernan-Terry, Collection 1032) pile hammer, pile extractor, pile driving leads, demolition hammer, casing driver and vertical borer;
• Master Division (Master Vibrator Company, Collection 474) plate compactor, concrete vibrator, power trowel, air tool, light plant, chain saw, screed, space heater and centrifugal pump; and,
• Dart Division (Dart Manufacturing Company, Collection 319) concrete vibrator, power trowel and light plant.
In 1974, it also owned and operated a North American Compaction, Bomag Division (consisting of the Road Division [Buffalo-Bomag, former Buffalo-Springfield] roller, static compactor, landfill compactor, self-propelled stabilizer, self-propelled smooth vibratory compactor and Flaherty Manufacturing Branch of Buffalo-Springfield [Collection 2510] chip spreader; PCM Division [Collection 1147] concrete mixer, rough terrain forklift, extended reach forklift, Mud Jack slurry pump and Ka-Mo borer; Parsons wheel trencher and cable plow; and Speedstar Division water well drill); and Menck GmbH (Collection 1046) hydraulic backhoe, truck crane, electric cable shovel, pile driver, and Scrapdozer crawler motor scraper.
Amca International (Collection 2020) acquired Koehring in 1980 or 1981. Northwest Engineering Company (Collection 483) acquired Koehring Crane & Excavator in 1987; after Northwest acquired Terex Corporation (Collection 535), the use of the Koehring, Lorain and Bantam trade names was discontinued.

The Cliffs of Moher and the national park of Burren are the most visited nature attractions in Ireland, and that's for a reason. But how do you get around rural west Ireland if the idea of driving on the left terrifies you, or if renting a car is out of the question? We hopped on a bus of Galway Tour Company that took us to the Cliffs of Moher tour from Galway. Here's everything you need to know!
Galway Tour Company offers many different varieties of their tours to go and check out this magnificent piece of cliff, but we took the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren one, since it was offered with a discount by our hostel. The price is 30€ for adults, 25€ for students and seniors, and 20€ for children. In 8 hours you get bused around the coast with a very, very talkative tour guide who might make you sing if you're late from the bus. Be prepared.
Important: since we're in Ireland, make sure to dress properly! The weather gets infernal at the cliffs, so make sure to have good shoes, preferably boots since the pathways are muddy, and a good coat. If you're visiting outside of the summer season, save your ears and take a beanie with you. And hold it tight.
Our first stop was by the Dunguaire Castle close to Kinvarra. The castle originates from the 16th century and got its name from the Dun of King Guaire, the king of Connaght. Our 15 minutes was spent by admiring the impressively low tide (seen in the photo below!) and trying to circle around the castle like a hoard of lemmings. Back to the bus we go.
The barren landscape of the Burren is astonishing. Our enthusiastic tour guide Gary was able to tell us that all of this used to be under water millions of years ago, thus all the limestone.
Now that you guys are in Ireland, you better get used to these seemingly impossible gaelic names! The second stop was Poulnabrone Dolmen, one of the 174 portal tombs in Ireland. It dates back to the Neolithic period, approximately between 4200 BC and 2900 BC. So damn old.
This is the closest you can get: as you can see, it's circled with a rope fence. Some time ago a group of idiots decided it'd be funny to try and move this prehistoric tomb, so now there's a 24/7 surveillance. This surveillance is a guy sitting in a car next to the tomb.
It was so windy we survived outside for a solid 5 minutes. Again, please dress well. The land is so barren the few trees are all grown crooked due to the never-ending gust.
Our third stop, Kilfenora, is an adorable little village in the heart of the Burren. The reason for stopping here is their famous celtic crosses, dating all the way back to the 12th century. The cathedral around it is pretty much destroyed, but it's still possible to explore the cemetery and admire the graves.
What is this? A door for leprachauns?
We stopped for lunch after noon in the village of Doolin. It's the tiniest thing. We had a solid 45 minutes to eat, but after the waitress screwed up my order at least two times, in my case it meant more like 15. Reminds me again why these tour buses are really not my way of travelling, but sadly the options to get around in here are quite limited.
Finally! The admission fee to the cliffs is included in the price of the tour, but please take this into account in case you decide to arrive by car: visiting the cliffs is not free. There's a visitor centre with a cafe and a museum where you can gather your strength before facing the gusts of the cliffs. Check out their website: Cliffs of Moher
The cliffs stretch for 8 kilometres and are 214 metres at their highest point. It's easily one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. We were lucky to have a good weather during our visit, but our very own enthusiastic Gary told us it's not always the case - sometimes the fog gets so thick you can't see a thing. Make sure to check the weather forecast in advance or you'll end up paying to see the tip of your nose!
Now, the wind. It can easily get as fast as 120km/h, and hear this from someone who's been there: it can sweep you off your feet. It can rock the bus from side to side. So as you approach the cliffs, please for the love of God don't get on the wrong side of the fence! Here's how it all looks like around the cliffs:
You can walk along the cliffs as far as you like, but Galway Tour Company allows you 1,5 hours on the location. Our sensitive asses survived a solid 20 minutes outside, and after the excruciatingly strong wind caught my bag and broke the strap, we headed inside and devoured warm beverages for the rest of the time.
This is how it looks to the opposite direction from the cliffs:
This area was beyond the maintenance of the Cliffs of Moher visitor centre. People actually jumped the fence and posed for pictures a metre away from the edge. I personally preferred to squeeze the stone fence so hard my hands turned white. Fear of heights? Yes. Fear of dying? Hell yes.
As seen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!
Our last stop was by the Coast Road to have a view of the Aran Islands on the horizon. The drop in itself isn't as impressive after seeing the cliffs of Moher, but 8 metres is enough for me to not get too close to the edge. The barren soil gets unstable, so watch where you walk. Our 10 minutes in here passed fast taking Instagram-worthy photos of us staring at the horizon.
The bus took us back to Galway bus station at 6pm. Crazy wind, crazy tour guide, crazy landscapes and one absolutely gorgeous Ireland. There's something about the barren land and the winds of the Atlantic Ocean that create quite a magical atmosphere on the west coast of the island.

Flexible benefits package
That includes life assurance, child care vouchers, travel loans, cycle to work, gym contributions, dental insurance and lots more.
Our culture
We know that success is a journey and that without a motivated and engaged team, we wouldn't get very far. We're committed to making sure that everybody at VoucherCodes believes in our vision and understands how their hard work is key to delivering our objectives. Everybody plays a part in making a difference.
We believe a friendly working environment where we all respect, support and inspire one another helps people perform at their best. Encouraging a relaxed and fun work culture, with awesome team spirit and social life, means we enjoy where we work. No matter how big we grow, we will always stay a small company in spirit.
Our office
Join us at our bright, spacious open-plan office. Situated in the heart of London, we occupy the 6th floor of the iconic ITN building alongside ITV and Channel 4 News. The area is home to a wonderful array of cafés, restaurants and bars. For the more adventurous, there's some of the best street food London has to offer right on our doorstep.

Professional development
Many of the VoucherCodes team are leaders in their field, who regularly speak at national and international conferences. We actively hire people at the top of their game and do everything we can to keep them there.
As a result, personal development is something we feel very passionately about. We have a generous book and conference budget for each team to use for personal development, as well as regular relevant training sessions.
We also put aside dedicated time each month for you to work on your personal development goals.
Feedback is important and it works both ways. Biannual appraisals and target setting ensure that you're feeling challenged and help you understand what's coming next.

Weekly sports - However you like to get sweaty, we allocate a weekly budget to fund sports activities. Join our five-a-side football team, working up a thirst on Friday before "beer o'clock", or relax with our Tuesday evening yoga sessions.
Annual retreat - Each year we pack-up and head off to the country for a well deserved long weekend of relaxation. Nothing screams team bonding like a country estate with sauna, jacuzzi, three course meals and 1,000 bottles of beer. Disclaimer: raft building not included.
Exchange programme
To help facilitate knowledge-sharing across our businesses we an offer an exchange programme between our UK and US office, based in Austin, TX. On both sides of the Atlantic we're facing the same challenges and taking on the same opportunities, so it's great to learn from each other to get better at what we do.

From THE JERUSALEM POST Feb. 12, 2009, by Gil Hoffman:
The Likud and Kadima will be able to form a government together under the leadership of Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu, on the basis of equality between the two parties, senior officials in both parties said Wednesday.
...senior Kadima officials said they were well aware that Peres would ask Netanyahu to form a government because of the Right bloc's 65-55 advantage over the Left, and that if Likud offered Kadima a sweet deal, they should take it.
Netanyahu's associates revealed that he would be willing to give Kadima the same number of ministries as the Likud, including two of the top four cabinet positions. Likud would get the premiership and the Treasury, while Kadima could be given the Foreign and Defense ministries.
"We're ready to be very generous to Kadima in plum portfolios and power, to lock them into our government," a source close to Netanyahu said. "You have to pay a price to get that kind of stability, and I think he would be willing to pay a heavy price."
While some top officials in Kadima expressed interest in such a deal, others said the party should go to the opposition in order to present itself as an alternative to Netanyahu and wait for the public to grow frustrated with the exclusively right-wing coalition that Netanyahu would be forced to form.
Netanyahu told the Likud faction on Wednesday that "if Kadima will rise above political interests and spin, and will concern itself with what is good for the country, they will join our government."
Channel 2's Amnon Abramowitz reported that Peres would actively attempt to persuade whoever he appointed to build a coalition to fulfill the will of the public by forming a national unity government.
...Speculation by political pundits that Peres will lock Livni and Netanyahu in a room until they reach agreement about serving together in a national unity government is somewhat premature, Peres's aides said.
According to Peres's spokeswoman Ayelet Frish, the president has no intention of dealing with any aspect of the new government prior to February 18, when the official election results are to be published....

Louisiana Simplified Divorce Procedures
The new no-fault divorce grounds in Louisiana are very simplified. No answer need be made by a respondent to a Petition for Divorce filed in Louisiana. In order to obtain a final Judgment of Divorce, a motion entitled "Rule to Show Cause" must be filed with the court. However, each judicial district in Louisiana may have specific individual rules pertaining to divorce actions. Please refer to the Louisiana Rules of Court for the rules in a particular judicial district. Sample forms for use in various divorce case situations (including a sample Petition for Divorce) are contained in Louisiana Forms; Forms 370+. [Louisiana Civil Code Annotated; Article 102, Louisiana Forms; Forms 370+, and Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; Articles 3951 to 3956].
