The Version 0.2.0 of pyfb has been released!. In the new version I have added a django application to show how you can integrate your web sites/applications with facebook using this library.
Let's explain a few points of that application:
First at all, you need to register your application in facebook.
Then Facebook will provide you and aplication ID and a secret authentication key. You should put this data in the settings.py inside your django application.
Beside that you must define a redirect url, which is the url that Facebook will use to redirect the user's browser when the authentication was completed.
# Facebook related Settings FACEBOOK_APP_ID = 'YOUR_APP_ID' FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY = 'YOUR_APP_SECRET_CODE' FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URL = 'http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/facebook_login_success'
Ok, thats right. Now look the interesting part of this. Take a look at views.py file. It should look like this:
from pyfb import Pyfb from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect from settings import FACEBOOK_APP_ID, FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY, FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URL def index(request): return HttpResponse("""<button onclick="location.href='/facebook_login'">Facebook Login</button>""") #This view redirects the user to facebook in order to get the code that allows #pyfb to obtain the access_token in the facebook_login_success view def facebook_login(request): facebook = Pyfb(FACEBOOK_APP_ID) return HttpResponseRedirect(facebook.get_auth_code_url(redirect_uri=FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URL)) #This view must be refered in your FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URL. For example: http://www.mywebsite.com/facebook_login_success/ def facebook_login_success(request): code = request.GET.get('code') facebook = Pyfb(FACEBOOK_APP_ID) facebook.get_access_token(FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY, code, redirect_uri=FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URL) me = facebook.get_myself() welcome = "Welcome <b>%s</b>. Your Facebook login has been completed successfully!" return HttpResponse(welcome % me.name)
Pretty simple. Isn't it?. The first view, facebook_login will redirect the user's browser to the facebook page asking for authentication.
When that process was completed, the browser will be redirected to the url that you have specified in the settings.py. Obviously, that url must refer to
facebook_login_success view.
Finally, you can get the access token and then request all information as you want (and Facebook provides) about the user.
The last step is just configuration. You need to map the urls to the correspondent view in the urls.py file:
urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^$', 'djangoapp.django_pyfb.views.index'), (r'^facebook_login/$', 'djangoapp.django_pyfb.views.facebook_login'), (r'^facebook_login_success/$', 'djangoapp.django_pyfb.views.facebook_login_success'), )
You can download and install pyfb from pypi and get the complete source code of this example application:
sudo pip install pyfb
Hope this was usefull and explanatory for you.

By Tom Wootton
Perhaps depression is the inability to see value in our pain.
Depression is anger turned inward. Depression is a chemical imbalance. Depression is a mental illness.
Depression is resistance to what is. Depression is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relationship, and career/financial pain. Depression is Beautiful.
If we dive deeply into any of these points of view we deepen our understanding.
If we look at all of them we deepen it even more. None of the points of view are completely right or completely wrong; they are just different ways of looking at it.
Every time we look at depression from a different point of view we understand it more.
The greatest tragedy is to decide that any one point of view is the only one and miss out on the others.
That is what is called ignorance: lack of knowledge or understanding.
We ignore something because we refuse to consider that there may be some knowledge or understanding in that point of view.
An interesting point of view that I struggled with for a long time is that I don't seem to get as much done when I am depressed.
I think it is because we have been taught to value "things" more than understanding.
I was not accomplishing "things" and thought that depression had no value.
Only when I began to value understanding as much as "things" did I see that I actually accomplish a great deal when I am depressed.
In that way depression became more important than any thing.
Let's say you want to accomplish a thing called a 20 foot trench and all you have is a shovel and you are not used to digging trenches. After the first few feet you will have sore hands, a sore back, and be pretty tired. You may find that within a few more feet you are so exhausted that you are disabled by it and cannot accomplish your task.
If you do finish, you will be sore for days. You will be mentally fatigued, emotionally spent, and may even have relationship troubles because you cannot perform your relationship skills as well as usual.
This all seems pretty normal because that is what happens when we create "things."
We expend a great deal of energy accomplishing them and suffer pain from the exertion. We feel proud of our accomplishments and accept that the pain is the price we pay to have done them.
What if I set out to accomplish deep understanding?
I would wrestle with an idea and spend a great amount of mental, emotional, and spiritual energy on it. Because my mind and body are connected, I would be draining energy from my body while causing tension and real physical pain.
During my "work" I may not have the energy to address my relationship or career needs and they may suffer for it. I might even say that I am depressed; I would be feeling mentally and emotionally drained, physically weakened, spiritually troubled, etc.
But, since I didn't accomplish a "thing" I would not see the value in having expended a great deal of energy and suffering pain from the exertion.
Since we don't see the value in the accomplishments associated with depression, we do not see the value in depression itself.
We wish it would just go away as if understanding comes freely without the work.
Perhaps depression is the price that we must pay to gain a certain kind of understanding. …

DVD Teaches General Chemistry With Style
October 7, 2003
It lightens the backpack and leaves more money in the wallet. It offers different voices and interactive exercises instead of inanimate words and pictures on a page or a single professor's voice in lecture. The new DVD textbook for general chemistry one developed by Ketan Trivedi, an instructor in the department of chemistry at Virginia Tech, gives students a brand-new alternative for learning that is cheaper, lighter, and more diverse than an ordinary textbook.
With more than 200 instructional hours on a DVD, students can accomplish the first semester of general chemistry in ways that better suit their own learning methods. "It will not be easy," Trivedi said. "It challenges them and brings them to the level we want them to be."
But the challenge is not in overcoming boredom. The DVD provides a wealth of demonstrations for concepts such as atoms, chemical reactions, gases, chemical bonding and the periodic table, which talks to the students to help them learn not only the names of the elements, but the patterns for forming the 1,647 compounds and the way names and formulas come together. Different voices distinguish metals, non-metals and metalloids. "The table is imaginary," Trivedi said. "We wanted to bring things into reality."
The first periodic table took Trivedi three and a half months to develop, almost causing him to abandon the project. But his desire to make learning a better experience for students combined with the help of many students and other professors in the chemistry department pushed him onward. He hopes to have the second semester of general chemistry on DVD in another year.
Animations, videos, 3-D models, interactive problems, thorough explanations, and tools such as an increasingly complex calculator as the student progresses and a scratch pad that holds students' work as they practice reinforce the learning of the chemical concepts, chemical equations, mathematical equations and derivations necessary to master general chemistry. Since attention spans are about three to three and a half minutes, Trivedi said, the interactive quality of the DVD keeps students involved.
Trivedi, through his company Trivedi Technology Innovations International, or T2I2, in the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center, took three years to develop the DVD and studied some 27 textbooks for inspiration. The DVD is not required for students, but is recommended. Since it costs less than $70, with the textbook's cost at $125, many students are opting for the disk they can pop into their computer instead of the book they lug around. "We're not trying to make money, just recover our costs," Trivedi said. The DVD has been used for distance-learning courses this summer and in classes taught by some Virginia Tech chemistry professors.
Trivedi believes the DVD is a distinct advantage for students whose learning styles may differ. Because it offers them so many reinforcements of each lesson, "One cannot miss it," he said.

This is easy enough to disable as the user. Simply login and UNcheck the option that was previously enabled. Alternateively, you can disable the option to Auto connect to the Connection server per VMware KB article 1013849
But how can this be achieved as the administrator? Perhaps a user mistakenly selected this option and it would just be easier for you to take care of it (yes this has happened).
I'll leave this up to you to decide if it's more trouble than it's worth.. but here's how to accomplish this =)
This setting is stored in the ADAM database on the Connection server for the user. As you can see from the screenshot below, a GUID will be generated for the user's session and there will be a value in the pae-NameValuePair attribute named alwaysConnect=true.
It's likely you will have plenty of GUID entries here so you'll want to perform a query on the database to find the entries that contain this value.
- Right-click the database connection (shown as "View [localhost:389]) in this example, and click New > Query.
- Under Root of Search, click Browse and select the Properties organizational unit.
- Click OK.
- In the Query String, paste this search string:
This will show you users with always connect set to true. To disable the option for the user, simply change the value to false.
Pro Tip: If you set the attributes box to * to return everything then you can use the user SID in member to look up the user name. SID lookup is under Utilities > SID Lookup which will return you the username of that SID.
And there you go!

Update 4:20:
Health and Human Services Commission Inspector General Doug Wilson resigned Friday, scarcely more than an hour after the state auditor announced it would launch an investigation into no-bid contracts brokered under his watch in conjunction with an anti-public corruption at the Travis County District Attorney's office.
Gov. Rick Perry requested the resignation, his spokeswoman Lucy Nashed said. Wilson's last day is Dec. 31.
"Ongoing questions regarding the awarding of contracts at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have caused the governor to lose confidence in Wilson's ability to carry out the important oversight responsibilities of this office," Nashed said in a statement.
Wilson's resignation comes one week after the massive health agency's chief counsel, Jack Stick, resigned amid an ongoing Austin American-Statesman investigation.
Stick had been under fire for his role in helping Austin data analytics firm 21CT secure a contract to bring to the inspector general sophisticated technology to investigate Medicaid fraud. That software was intended to help investigators track down and predict Medicaid fraud. Stick, who previously served as Wilson's deputy, was skirting procurement laws to steer the contract to 21CT, an American-Statesman investigation has found.
On Friday, legislators began calling for Wilson's resignation.
Earlier this week, the Statesman posed numerous questions about Wilson's role in hiring 21CT and how much he knew about Stick's relationship with the company. Spokespeople for the Health and Human Services Commission have not yet answered those questions. The agency did, however release the following statement:
"Doug says he was aware that Jack was meeting with vendors in 2011. Doug was, too. As we've explained, several companies were interested in contracting with OIG for fraud detection tools, and OIG was evaluating the various tools."
Stick resigned on Dec. 12, but continued to work in the office until this week. On Thursday, legislators began calling for investigations into how 21CT got the deal and the county's Public Integrity Unit would launch its own inquiry. Stick was pulled off the payroll and stripped of his access to state computers and buildings.
Updated 3:10 p.m.: The state auditor on Friday said his office — in conjunction with the Public Integrity Unit at the Travis County district attorney's office — is launching an investigation into a contract the Health and Human Services Commission awarded to Austin company 21CT outside of a competitive bidding process.
"This afternoon, I provided a notification to the lieutenant governor, speaker of the House of Representatives, and other members of the Legislative Audit Committee that the State Auditor's Office has initiated an investigation of the procurement of contracts at the Health and Human Services Commission's Office of Inspector General," John Keel said in an email. "The State Auditor's Office will be working closely with the Public Integrity Unit at the Travis County District Attorney's Office on this investigation."
Public Integrity Unit Director Gregg Cox confirmed the partnership, saying the unit frequently works with the auditor's office on investigations.
The American-Statesman was first to report on Thursday that the Public Integrity Unit likely would launch an investigation of the no-bid contracts following a request from state Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston.
Earlier: Jack Stick — the former top lawyer for the Health and Human Services Commission — is no longer on the state payroll.
Stick, whose involvement in a $110 million deal with an Austin software company is now under criminal and state scrutiny, resigned from his job as chief counsel at the commission last week. But he was still working in the office finishing up projects for the agency, said spokeswoman Linda Gockel Edwards.
Stick, who made an annual salary of about $200,000, will not receive a severance package.
"He'll be paid for any leave he had accrued, as is consistent with state law," Gockel Edwards said.
On Thursday, state officials, including Gov. Rick Perry, called for investigations into all transactions between the state and 21CT. Later in the day, Dr. Kyle Janek, executive commissioner of the commission, said that Stick had been replaced as chief counsel by his deputy Karen Ray.
Stick was stripped of his access to the state's computer and buildings.
21CT laid off more than 50 employees Thursday, three former employees of the company told the American-Statesman.

Google Wallet: A Shopping Game Changer?
In its New York City offices this week, the world's most popular search engine offered a demonstration of Google Wallet, a mobile app that aims to transform your phone into your wallet. Such an app, which the company is currently field testing, could help expedite the sea change bubbling in how people shop and pay for goods. The company plans to release the app soon.
What makes Google Wallet a debut to watch for is that the company has partnered with some major credit card providers and retailers to support its launch.Here's how it works: The app stores users' credit card, retail loyalty card and gift card information in the phone. It then allows users in a retail store to pay at the register by waving their phone in front of a near-field communication (NFC) reader.
"The launch reflects Google's efforts to simplify and redefine the shopping process for both consumers and businesses," the company said, in a blog post. "Because Google Wallet is a mobile app, it will do more than a regular wallet ever could.
"It's aimed at making it easier for you to pay for and save on the goods you want, while giving merchants more ways to offer coupons and loyalty programs to customers, as well as bridging the gap between online and offline commerce," the blog says.
Users will also be able to redeem retail offers and earn store loyalty credit with a single tap of their mobile phone. Retailers ranging from Macy's and American Eagle Outfitters to The Container Store and Subway have already signed up as SingleTap merchants.
When the app debuts, Google Wallet will support payments with two payment options: a PayPass eligible Citi MasterCard and a virtual Google Prepaid card. By partnering with MasterCard, Google has made it possible for users to pay at checkout stations with their Google Wallet app at any retailer that accepts MasterCard PayPass.
It's not just the consolidation of payment methods into a single electronic wallet that makes Google Wallet interesting, though: "It has the potential for the transformation of the checkout experience at retail," Noah Elkin, principal analyst with eMarketer, a research-and-trend analysis firm on digital marketing and media, told WalletPop.
And it seems that Google Wallet's time has come, as consumers continue to increasingly use their cell phones to make payments. Research firm Yankee Group predicts that the worldwide transaction value of mobile payments will total $984 billion by 2014, up from $162 billion in 2010.
But before we sound the death knell for credit cards, consider this: "We've had credit cards for so many years now, but we still haven't eliminated cash," Elkin says. "There will be a long time before this is available everywhere."
Indeed, says Elkin, "Many retailers are taking a wait-and-see approach to how the space shakes out before they put their brand behind it."

Parts of the Paraglider
The main components of a paraglider are:
- Wing (also called the canopy or sail)
- Lines and risers
- Harness
- Speed bar
- Reserve parachute
- Helmet
In simplest terms, a paraglider is an inflatable wing. It resembles a parachute, but its shape is elliptical rather than round. Wings are usually made of rip-stop nylon, which is a tear-proof and tough synthetic fabric. It's actually two layers of material sewn together with a gap between the two. Vertical fabric ribs support the gap, and in between each rib are cells. These dozens of cells work to trap air and inflate the canopy for gliding. The wing has a leading edge, which allows air to enter the cells. Experts agree that most wings are good for about 300 hours of paragliding (about four years) before they begin to stretch or weaken [source: Discovery].
Lines are the rigging cords attached to different areas of the underside of the wing. There are usually about four or five rows of lines. The last row of lines make up the brakes, or control lines, attached to the wing's trailing edge. These cords all stream down and are secured in a bunch on both sides of the pilot. The bunches of grouped lines are called risers and they suspend the pilot below the canopy. The pilot can use the lines to control the glider. Manipulating the lines changes the direction or speed of the glider as it flies. Lines are made of synthetic materials like Kevlar (aramid) or Dyneema (polyethylene). These types of materials won't stretch or shrink, which would cause the glider to become unbalanced. Nylon is a popular choice for risers because of its strength and durability.
Risers affix to carabiners, which in turn lock into the pilot's harness. A paragliding harness is the soft chair that suspends the pilot below the wing. It features multiple straps that keep the pilot safe in the harness as well as provide lumbar support.
Some pilots like to utilize a speed bar, which is a foot control. It attaches to the harness and connects to the canopy via pulleys. By pushing on the speed bar with his foot, a pilot can increase the paraglider's speed by changing the angle of the wing.
The reserve parachute is for the unlikely (but possible) event that the wing begins to irreversibly deflate. The reserve attaches to the harness in a spot that prevents accidental deployment. Reserve parachutes are specially made so that they can open quickly.
And of course, a pilot never flies without a helmet.
Next, we'll talk about how a paraglider gets off the ground.

MovieBob - Intermission4 Marvel Universe Continuity Gags We Actually Want to SeeMovieBob - Intermission - RSS 2.0
The Marvel Universe has some pretty silly moments in its history, but we'd like to see these make the leap to the big screen.
Believe it or not, there was a (brief) moment in the 80s when Thor was the talk of the comics world. From (years), writer Walt Simonson had completely redefined the title with an epic, mythology-tinged run that had made Thor more popular than he'd ever been -- so popular, in fact, that the character's ubiquity was mined for a memorable moment in the 80s comedy "classic" Adventures in Babysitting.
In the now-famous scene, the heroes (a teenaged babysitter and her charges on the run from gangsters in the big city) seek help from the night mechanic in a downtown garage, who appears as a musclebound hunk in a blue tank-top with flowing blonde hair clutching a big iron hammer. The youngest daughter of the team, previously established as a devoted fan of Thor comics, mistakes him for the real thing and entreats him to help (he doesn't want to, at first) by offering up her Thor helmet. "Getting" the reference, he agrees -- but says she can keep the helmet because "I've already got one at home."
The actor playing "Thor?" None other than Vincent D'Onofrio -- yup, there was a moment there when the future Detective Goren was looking to reinvent himself as a stud, likely to avoid the typecasting that followed his "Private Pyle" turn in Full Metal Jacket. D'Onofrio's next big role? He's Wilson Fisk, "The Kingpin," in Marvel's Daredevil series for Netflix. (How amazing is that casting? Seriously. I loved Michael Clarke Duncan in the part, but he was a little too "friendly." This is perfect.)
And since it's not uncommon for The Avengers to cross paths with organized crime, how great would it be for the two Thors to run into each other, even just for a moment? Especially if Kingpin could casually ask Chris Hemsworth where his helmet is...
Quick digression: A small thing for fans new to the Marvel Universe's "quirks" from the movies to get used to sooner than later: Captain America is basically Jesus Christ. He always does the right thing, it's always for the right reason and he's always fighting on the right side. Should he ever do the wrong thing or fight on the wrong side, it will almost always turn out to have not been his fault -- and it won't matter because he'll gladly sacrifice life and limb to correct his failings.
He's effectively perfect -- The American Dream embodied in a time-unstuck human to give every other hero an ideal to strive for. Asgardian warriors measure their courage against his WWII exploits. Wolverine defers his leadership. When he died (he got better, because comics) in Civil War, The Punisher made it his personal business to smash up a white-supremacist group for co-opting Cap's image. (The Punisher! A mass-murdering psychopath who respects no law but his own!)
So of course, Captain America can lift Thor's hammer.
It hasn't really been explicitly stated for the movies, but the enchantment on Mjolnir isn't just that Thor needs to stay on the straight and narrow to wield it. Anyone who is "worthy" by the godly standards of Odin can pick it up -- it's just that almost no one but Thor actually is. The list is small: Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike and a handful of robots and Asgardian ancients have done it, and it's canon in both universes (certain crossovers are "official") that Superman and Wonder Woman can do it... but Captain America has always been the go-to guy whenever "Mjolnir-lifting" needs to be a big dramatic emotional highlight, especially since the implication is that he could've done it even if he weren't a super-soldier.
I'm fully expecting Cap wielding Mjolnir to be a "moment" in whatever Chris Evans' last Avengers movie turns out to be ("last Avenger standing," hammer in one hand shield in the other, ready to fight to the end against impossible odds...) but what'd be fun would be to introduce his ability to do so as a moment of levity. Like... if The Avengers all take off for a mission and Steve, without even thinking, politely picks up Mjolnir to hand it off to a departing Thor ("Hey pal, don't forget your...") only to suddenly realize everyone including The Asgardian are staring at him, dumbstruck, wondering how the hell he just did that.

EdUi: Totally Worthwhile Professional Development
I've just returned from an absolutely wonderful conference in Virginia called edUi for Web professionals working in higher ed, schools, libraries, museums, and nonprofits. It was my sixth—yes, sixth, time attending.
As one of only a very few people who's attended this stellar conference for each of its now almost 7 years, I'm proud to say I was involved, in a small way, in getting it off the ground by helping its founders its very first year.
This time around, I helped in a bigger way, serving on the edUi planning committee and doing conference communications.
The conference's unusual name is a bit of a play on words in terms of .edu (frequently in the URLs of higher ed institutions) and UI (the techno-geeky abbreviation for "user interface," a reference to the interaction of human and machine, such as the look-and-feel of websites, mobile apps, etc.)
And if you're looking for a good professional development conference, it's a great value. The price for what you get really can't be beat!

Here's part 2 of our Lego coverage. We have got quite a bit to cover and we still have more to show! We start off first with Lego Dimensions which has a few Batman Movie tie-ins. The classic Michael Knight from Knight Rider is pretty cool and unexpected!
Not really a whole lot of new Architecture...
With new Duplo and Junior sets for the kiddies, I am super excited especially for the licensed ones.
A few new different Classic mini sets are great for the beginners.
This six in one Robot set is pretty cool but unfortunately was not available for demonstration but just display only in its six different builds.
City gets a few new Sea and City sets.
The new Advent Calendar!
City set gets a few more new ones continued from above!
Most of the Disney sets have already been revealed recently. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot of new ones to look forward to that you probably haven't already seen. Frozen and Moana being the continued main focus.
Quite a few new Creator sets, which I absolutely love. The series if you're not familar gives you three different builds for the price of one.
Not much new to reveal for the miniature figures unfortunately.
As mentioned before Brick Headz is the new big thing for Lego as you can see the heavy push in licensing for both Marvel, DC and Disney! Is it their answer to Funko Pops? Not sure about that, but they're definitely cute!
I just don't get Minecraft, but the kids love it!
Which of the above are you looking forward to?

So you've got VEEAM installed, and a SQL configuration database connected to it. You've also got a service account for VEEAM (let's call it DOMAIN\veeamsvc) which has permissions to read/write to the SQL Database. Backup jobs are running on behalf of the service account – all should be well.
One day you wake up and need to get into VEEAM to restore from backup. Let's say it's business critical stuff. You log into your Network Management Station and run the VEEAM B&R console to access your recovery interface. This pops up:
Uh oh. So first thing's first, check your backup confirmation emails. You DO get backup job confirmation emails, right? Yes? And they're telling you your regular backup jobs have all succeeded lately? Okay good. So the SQL database is working fine on the backend of things, and your backups are in there somewhere.
Then we check our services.msc: SQL Server (VEEAM) is running? Well obviously it has been if you're getting success emails, but it's good to check that it's running in this moment of barred doors.
So what gives? Turns out that the VEEAM console uses your current Windows credentials to connect to the SQL configuration database. Which, if you told VEEAM to use a service account dedicated to this purpose, is a dumb way of doing things. When you log into your NMS as DOMAIN\your.username, VEEAM will attempt to connect to SQL as you, rather than the service account.
What to do? Run the VEEAM console as the service account user. There's a quick way of doing this: Make a shortcut on your desktop that points to this:
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:DOMAIN\veeamsvc "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Veeam.Backup.Shell.exe"
This icon will ask for the service account's password the first time you use it, then the /savecred flag will save the pw in future. Remove the flag if you are credential-conscious. For added zing, change the shortcut's icon to the VEEAM console's icon and you've got yourself a working console that will connect to the database, incidentally making you the hero as you save the day!

I hope I haven't contributed to the apparent perception in some quarters that huge numbers of IT jobs will simply vanish as companies move toward broader use of cloud computing. In July I wrote about the need for data center professionals to build their people and process skills, which will become more important in the shift to cloud computing models. I reiterated the point in November, sharing remarks made by a Unisys executive at the Cloud Computing Conference & Expo that illustrate the cloud's ability to help companies move to smaller IT staffs that rely to a greater degree on outsourced relationships.
Frost & Sullivan analyst Vanessa Alvarez, writing for InformationWeek, takes a tempered view, noting that IT pros will play a key role in migrating their organizations to cloud models, which for many companies will include a virtual private cloud and on-premise applications in addition to some components of a public cloud. Alvarez is convinced the cloud will be a good thing for enterprise IT, ultimately viewed as a more strategic business function..
I agree with her. The cloud will lead to an evolution of IT jobs, not a wholesale elimination. Still, as with most evolutions, species that want to survive will have to undergo some pretty major changes.
The good news: The move to the cloud will "take some time, from an operational, technological and organizational perspective," says Alvarez. So IT pros won't have to develop new skill sets overnight. Still, they will have to develop them. She writes:
IT professionals looking to evolve their roles will need to learn how to work more closely with other business units, and to help others understand the new requirements, limits, and benefits of the new model. These "people" skills -- sometimes called "soft" skills, have often been lacking in IT organizations, but will become critical as cloud computing inevitably brings together several different business units.
IT Business Edge's Mike Vizard made a similar point about the need for new IT skills earlier this month. He wrote:
But even as the infrastructure and, in some cases entire applications, move into the cloud, somebody still needs to manage and integrate these services on behalf of the business. That person may not look like the classic enterprise IT person we know today. Instead, they will probably be a much more business-centric IT person. But whoever they are, the process of governing IT services in the cloud via various policies engines will still need to be done.
Vizard's advice to IT pros:
[They] should be positioning themselves to be the general contractors of a rich set of integrated services, as opposed to being seen as the people that maintain a whole lot of underutilized hardware and software that the rest of the business views as a fixed asset that needs to be eliminated.

Android emulator for PC
Hello everyone! Changing a bit from PSVita and PS4 to one of the most used operating system for smartphones: Android. Many of you probably have got one of these with Android. Basically, because the alternative is the iPhone and it's not what we can describe as "cheap". (I don't name Windows Phone 'cause it's not very popular, at least here in Europe). So, going back to the title, I'm going to show you the different ways of having an Android emulator for PC. Yes, you read right, you can have Android 4.0 working perfectly on your computer screen. Ready? Let's go!
Personally, I know two "easy" different ways to emulate Google's mobile operating system. These are YouWave and BlueStacks.
What's the Best Android emulator for PC?
YouWave is program which emulates perfectly the whole system, the initial screen, preferences, browser, contacts… everything. This is the most complete one of both of them. You can even choose which version you want to emulate. I think, if I remember well, that you could choose 4.0 or 2.3 (ICS and Gingerbread 🙂 ).
The main problem is that it's not free so you have to pay 15$ for Gingerbread and 20$ for ICS. If you want my opinion, buy it, I bought it and it's very cool. Runs smoothly, perfect help center… basically a fully working version of Android. If you want to buy it, you can get it from here. Good thing is, for those of you who are doubting, that they give you a free 10-day trial so you can use the full version all you want. Accepts PayPal and Google Wallet.
Now, another Android emulator for PC, BlueStacks. This one is not actually a working version of Android like the other one, because what it actually does is execute the .apk file you give it, so you can play all the apps and games on your PC first and then download them on your smartphone or whatever you want to do 😉
Oh, by the way, it's totally free to download so it's a good alternative and you should give it a shot. You can download it here.
And this is it, I know you can also do the same with the Android SDK but it's a bit more complicated and I thought these were the easiest emulators. Hope you liked the article and if you want to comment your opinion on any of the programs or you know another emulator, let me know in the comments!

This is my first story, so any feedback (positive or negative) would be appreciated! Ch 1 An idea is the most powerful thing; stronger than the sharpest sword and more resilient than the deadliest virus. Nothing can stop an idea when combined with the strongest emotion.
Desire. It was this combination that allowed Alec to enslave Diana, the Queen of the relm. The trumpet blared throughout the hall, signaling that this weeks Ravishing oriental babes hirsute cunt japanese hardcore had been finished. All the nobles stood from their seats and exited the room, remaining silent until they passed the threshold. Alec, however, remained seated until all the nobles left the spacious hall.
This week, a new law was signed that would increase the wealth of the Yassen House of which Alec was the leader. The queen Diana beckoned him over with a slight wave of her hand. It was pretty well known that the queen was somewhat corrupt. She would do 'favors', such as the new law, in return for either sexual or monetary payment.
Alec approached her gold, gilded throne and knelt at her feet. She was attired in a long silver dress that flaunted her exquisite figure. It clung to her body in all the right places, and made her C cup breasts appear to be at least Ds.
She wore white slippers that were covered with diamonds and had on ruby-red lipstick.
Her raven hair was in perfect waves down her back and her green eyes looked down at Alec with a hint of lust. Alec wore a purple shirt (the 'noble color') with a hint of golden embroidery and matching pants. At the queen's nod, he reached toward her feet and removed her slippers. He started lightly massaging her feet. His soft hands worked his way up Diana's calves to the hem of her dress.
Diana rose to her feet and pulled Alec up with her. He leaned in and lightly kissed her on the lips. Alec's cock started getting hard as the pair continued to make out, even though he knew there would be no pleasure for him. He reached behind Diana's neck tasting a luscious magic wand hardcore blowjob felt the tiny clasp that held her dress on.
There was a click and the garment lay in a shimmering pool on the floor. She wore no undergarments to allow her 'lovers' to more easily give her pleasure. Her body was perfect in every way. Gravity seemed to not affect her breasts, sex brazzers mom and son com they were not sagging, despite their size, and her ass was the best Alec had ever seen (and he had seen many, many naked women).
His hands started lightly moving down her back, while his mouth found her left nipple. Alec was sucking with delicate skill. Diana moaned as she became even hornier. Alec switched to the right nipple, and started rubbing her ass, causing Diana to moan even louder. She sat back down on the gilded throne and opened her beautiful legs, revealing the treasure inside. Alec kneeled down and started kissing her thigh, moving closer and closer to her wet, clean-shaven pussy.
Diana grabbed the back of Alec's head and pushed his mouth against her pussy, unable to control her lust. His practiced tongue quickly worked its magic and brought Diana waves of pleasure.
He paid extra attention to the clitoris because it seemed to cause her to moan the most. With her coming ever closer to her orgasm, it was almost time for Alec to make his move. His tongue moved even faster, and Diana felt the most pleasure she had ever felt in her entire life. She moaned at the top of her lunges. As she reached the verge of her climax, Alec stopped eating her pussy, looked up at her face, and asked, "Will you let me come by tomorrow morning to do this same thing?" She moaned in reply, "Oh…Yes!
…Of course!
But quickly, make me cum!" Alec lowered his mouth, and in a couple seconds, gave Diana the strongest orgasm she had ever experienced, nearly causing her to pass out.
Her wet pussy bucked against his face, and she moaned even louder. She slumped in the throne, completely drained. Alec stood, his erection concealed in his pants, and waited for Diana to gather the strength to stand and dress. After a minute, she stood, and Alec helped her put her shimmering dress back on, though there was a wet spot right over her pussy.
They walked out of the hall together, to the telepads. As Alec stepped onto the energy-conducting disk, he asked with a smile, "What time tomorrow would be sailor rin saotome with two guys who enjoy teasing her shaved pussy before she s for you?" She thought for a second, then said with an equally bright smile "Nine.
And just come directly to my chambers. The code is blonde femdom spanking man ass, five, six, one, four, two, nine." Alec nodded, then was whisked away by the device.
Ch2 Alec quickly entered the numbers for his bedroom onto the telepad, and was instantly deposited there. He was tired. The Passing had taken the whole day. A whole day of concentration was no easy job, not to mention the task he had to perform afterward. Alec clapped his hands twice, and his servant, Isabelle, appeared beside him. She was attired in…well…nothing. There was a strict no-clothes policy in his bedroom for the female servants.
Isabelle was picked as Alec's bedside aide for one main reason, her looks. She had a stunning, tan body with huge D cup breasts and a nicely rounded ass. She was also amazing at giving blowjobs, a talent that Alec was soon going to put to use. With a slight nod, she started undressing him. The lacing on the shirt took a while, but seeing Isabelle naked made the whole experience erotic.
His shirt was taken off, and his pants soon followed. His boxers were held up by his 7" cock. Isabelle removed those too, then started giving her master pleasure with her mouth. She started licking the tip, slowly, and put the whole thing into her mouth. Her hands started playing with Alec's balls, and he was moaning with pleasure. Shortly, her mouth was full of Alec's cum, and Alec was ready to fall asleep. She swallowed his cum, and put her master to bed.
Alec awoke at 8:30 to the alarm on his telescreen ringing. A glance was all it took to turn it off. Alec groaned as he sat up, pushing the covers off of himself. Suspended in midair beside his bed were his clothes that Isabelle had picked out for him to wear.
It was purple again, because it was customary for nobles to wear purple when meeting royalty, but this time had silver embroidery. He got dressed quickly and was on the telepad by 8:59. The telepad saved the code the queen had given to him the night before, so he quickly entered it and was whisked away. He sunny leone cum complication story in the most elegant bedroom he had ever seen.
The high ceiling was decorated with intricate gold patterns, and priceless, multicolored vases of master craftsmanship populated the shelves. However, the most beautiful thing in the room was laying on the bed, waiting for his skilled tongue, and Alec was going to try to make her his slave. The platform's glow dimmed as Alec stepped off of it. He was beckoned over to the bed by a slight wave of the hand and a smile.
Today, Diana wore a tight red dress that was even more provoking than her silver one. There was a golden coronet delicately arranged in her raven hair. Alec kneeled before the bed on which she was sitting. She looked down on him with her lust-filled green eyes and said with a smile, "Are you just going to kneel there or will you put that amazing mouth of yours to good use?" Alec laughed, then stood to kiss Diana's ruby-red lips.
They kissed with increased passion, and Alec's hands groped the back of her dress to find the zipper. The dress was thrown onto the ground, revealing a golden hardcore forced rape painful crying group abuse and matching panties. Those were tossed onto the ground too, finally displaying Diana's perfect body.
Her nipples got hard as Alec kissed down her neck to her breasts. As his mouth started playing with her nipple, his hand found its way to her bald, wet pussy. Diana squealed as a finger, then two, were masterfully penetrated the folds of her vagina. Alec started kissing down her body, first to her belly button, then to her pussy, and she moaned in delight. His tongue lightly touched her clitoris as his fingers continued to fuck her.
Diana was moaning in pleasure, and soon Alec was eating her pussy with massive wiener for pretty stupid gal stealer more intensity than the night before. She came closer and closer to her orgasm. Then, with one last flick of his tongue, Diana climaxed.
She writhed on top of him, and moaned loudly. She slumped, like the night before, almost completely drained of energy. After a couple seconds of recuperation, Diana sat up on the bed. Alec asked, "Do you need any help dressing?" She waved him off, mumbling about her servants helping her. Alec stood, bowed to his queen, turned, and walked back to the telepad, barely hiding his erection.
He turned back to the bed to see Diana lay back down, completely exhausted. Oh yes, she would soon be his. Ch 3 Alec returned to his chambers via the telepad. He went over to the sink to wash his face clean of Diana's pussy fluids.
With a whoosh, Alec fell back down on his bed. He clapped two times, and Isabelle came quickly from the only door in the room. Alec nodded and, being the expert slave that she was, Isabelle took off his pants and boxers, letting his cock spring upward. She sucked on it for a couple seconds to get it lubricated, then got on the bed, completely naked, and straddled it.
Alec lay on the bed as Isabelle started riding his cock. Both were moaning, and Alec began thrusting upward. After a couple minutes of intense fucking, Alec climaxed. Isabelle got off of his cock, and quickly sucked it to remove any excess cum. He dismissed her with a wave of his hand, and he stayed laying on his bed to regain his energy.
Isabelle left, her sexy ass jiggling as she walked out the door, and Alec continued to lie on his bed. He couldn't rest long. It was time to put his plan into action. Walking to the telescreen, Alec reviewed his entire plan. Seeing no flaws, he sat down and dictated a message to be sent. It read: "Dear Majesty, I big assed babe lauren auditions and rides lex black cock tell you enjoyed our last session, and was wondering what time would be good for me to come over and give you some more pleasure.
Your Loyal Servant, Alec" He sent the message, then went on the internet to order something. After searching, and searching, and searching, and searching, he finally found what he was looking for. Alec ordered it, and a mere minute after he pressed the 'Confirm Order' button, his telepad let out a small flash, and there was his package. He opened it to reveal a pair of red, silky panties and tiny remote control with a dial. Picking up the panties, Alec thought they felt normal, maybe even lighter than normal, giving no indication of the surprise they held.
There was a click as he turned the small dial on the remote control from '0' to '1'. The panties silently started vibrating. They were perfect. There was a light 'ping!' from Alec's telescreen, indicating that he had received a message. He opened it, and it read: "Alec, I will expect you at five." The clock read 12:34, giving him easily enough time to finish his shopping and to get something to eat. Alec opened up the internet again, this time searching for a bra.
Five couldn't come soon enough. Finally, the clock read 4:58. Alec had changed into a different shirt and pants, but the color scheme was similar. He had the bra and panties in a nondescript bag, leaving the remote controls in his chambers. The telepad quickly processed the access code, and Alec flashed over to Diana's bedroom. She had changed from her slutty red dress into a regal black gown. Even this change of attire couldn't diminish her stunning looks.
It matched her hair almost perfectly, and her matching slippers barely peeked out from under her dress as she walked. Alec strode forward and knelt at her feet, saying, "You look wonderful, Your Majesty" She laughed lightly, then pulled him to his feet and kissed him lustfully. She gasped out, "I have been waiting for your skillful tongue all day, don't make me wait any longer!" Alec continued to kiss her as his hands searched her back for the clasps to undo her dress.
He found two of them, but had to turn her around to find the third. Her dress, worth probably more than a house, was carelessly thrown aside, revealing her black undergarments.
His hands groping for the back of her bra, Alec kissed the tops of her breasts. Her bra soon wound up on the floor with the dress, and her panties followed. Diana sat down on her bed and opened her legs wide, her pussy wet with anticipation. Alec walked forward, kneeled down, and started kissing up her thigh. She moaned as he reached her pussy. He ate her pussy for a short while, then lifted his head up. He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty? Could you do something for me after I'm done? A favor?" She groaned out a yes, and Alec continued to lick her clitoris.
In a matter of minutes, Alec had Diana moaning at the top of her lungs with pleasure. She orgasmed, and was filled with a wave of pleasure.
He left Diana to recuperate on the bed while he retrieved the bag with the bra and panties. She stood up and bent over to start getting dressed. As Diana was about to put on her panties, Alec interjected, "Your Majesty? For my favor, could you wear these instead?" He held up the lacy red panties and bra. She looked xxx afsha zebi xxx story confused by the request, but consented, and quickly dressed, with the help of Alec.
He bowed deeply to the Queen, and took his leave. He vanished from view in a flash of light as Diana sat back down on the bed. Ch 4 Alec arrived back in his room with a flash. He quickly grabbed the two remote controls and some headphones. They plugged perfectly into one of the controls, and Alec sat down to wait and to listen. At first, all he heard was light breathing, for Diana was still laying on the bed. She stayed like this for nearly an hour.
However, Alec eventually heard her get off the bed and start walking. He jumped up and ran to his telescreen where he quickly sent a message: "Your Majesty, I have a small present for you. Hope you enjoy! Your Loyal Servant, Alec" A second after pressing the 'Send' button, he heard a light beep from the headset. Obviously the Queen just got her message. Then, Alec received: "Alec, What??" There was no need to respond. He just grabbed the control for the pussy vibrator and clicked it from '0' to '1'.
There was a sharp intake of breath, then she said, through the headset, "That cheeky bas-" She didn't finish her sentence. Alec clicked the remote slowly from '1' to '2', then '2' to '3', finally '3' to '4'. He heard a moan through the headset. Obviously she was enjoying her present. Alec then picked up the other remote, which also had a dial numbered 1-5. He clicked it to '1'.
There was another sharp intake of breath from Diana as vibrators in her bra turned on. However, she didn't say anything, she just moaned louder.
He turned the bra controller to '4', then set both of them aside. The moaning was so loud that Alec had to turn down the volume on his headset. She started breathing even faster, signaling that she was near her orgasm.
Alec clicked both controllers to '5', and then waited. Diana climaxed, signaled by her moaning, thrashing, vibrator playing with oral pleasure smalltits hardcore the tinkle of something (most likely a vase) breaking. He turned both vibrators off, then waited for the inevitable reply. It wasn't long in coming. "Alec, See me. Now." That could be bad. Alec got onto his telepad and flashed off to Diana's chambers.
When he arrived, he saw Diana sitting in a gilded chair next to her telescreen. She looked up, and Alec rushed forward to kneel before her. She stood up and said in an angry tone, "That was completely uncalled for! That was…" she seemed to be searching for a word. "That was…fun." Alec looked up sharply, stunned by her statement.
She continued, "I will consent to wear these panties and bra under a couple conditions. First, you have to buy more, because I will not wear the same undergarments two days in a row.
Second, you cannot use the controller at inappropriate times. Finally, you still have to come daily to eat my pussy." Alec quickly agreed to all these conditions. "Then go. And bring the new clothes when you come over in the morning." Alec bowed, then left on the telepad, surprised at his luck. Serendipity was definitely on his side.

Since 1940, Oakland Nursery has been dedicated to bringing high quality plant material to central Ohio homes and businesses. We've grown from a small store on Maize Road, to four retail operations, a wholesale farm, and a comprehensive landscape design/build firm. To celebrate 75 years of "keeping Central Ohio green," we'll be sharing some great photos from our past, as well as some wonderful memories from our clients throughout the years. Stay tuned!
A few sweet memories from our wonderful clients and customers:
"When my son, John, went to AG Bell I would walk to get him and on the way home we would cut through Oakland Nursery and walk through the trees and play hide and seek. After that we would go to the gazebo swing and he would tell me about his day or make up a story. He goes to Indianola now but in the summer we still make it a point to walk over and continue the tradition." --Kelly D.
"Well I love Oakland Nursery at Christmas, we started taking our granddaughter to see Santa at age 1 which she wasn't thrilled about him at 1. LOL...but we continued the tradition up till she was 10. It was so fun to see folks smiling, laughing, enjoying Santa, the decorations which are always beautiful." --Janette G.
"I remember Mr. Reiner from a very young age. My Dad would go their to purchase plants, and I loved to listen to Mr. Reiner's accent. I also watched that site transform over the years. First, as a student walking past each day on my way home from St. James the Less school, and then as a fledgling horticulture student, up until current days." --Mary M.

Revelstoke's Queen Victoria Hospital needs a helicopter landing pad that meets Transport Canada regulations. The Revelstoke District Health Foundation goal is to raise $465,000 to make this a reality.
It is our belief that Revelstoke and surrounding areas would benefit from this increase in service and more importantly provide lifesaving medical transport to our community's most critical patients. Help us help you and together we will make a difference in a life that needs it most.
Identifying the Need
As a mountain community that is internationally recognized as a major adventure capital in Canada, QVH is a busy hospital that must provide critical emergency care to members of our community, region and to the many visitors to our mountain community. We are seeing increasing traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway, rail traffic through the mountain with CP Rail, and a substantial industry and forestry sector, a National Park, BC Hydro dams, and of course our 8,000 permanent residents.
Whether it is highway accidents, mountain or water adventure accidents, industrial accidents or general medical emergencies – unfortunately, accidents happen and the QVH medical team provides urgent, lifesaving care. When these situations occur, patients need transportation to a higher level of care as quickly as possible. QVH currently has a small informal landing area that has been used in the past. It is recommended by Transport Canada, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) and Interior Health that this pad not be used for safety reasons – at this time, any landing is at the discretion and risk of each pilot. Our community and patients need and deserve top quality, reliable transportation.
In 2010 Emergency Management BC conducted a report outlaying the Best Practices Review of the Boulder Mountain Avalanche Incident and came to the conclusion that Revelstoke Hospital obtain an approved heli-pad due to the urgency of avalanche incidents. Click here to read the report in full.
Angus Woodman wrote a great overview of his experience with the emergency services in Revelstoke. Although he is grateful for the emergency services, "From the time of his accident to the point at which he was admitted into QVH was just over 2 hours. Due to this delay his body temperature had been reduced to less than 32 degrees and given the nature of his injury and the internal bleeding that was occurring he was in sever distress when he arrived at QVH" Read Angus' full account here.
"In 2015 I had a heart attack. The helicopter flew from Kamloops to get me. They were here within an hour. Their treatment of me was excellent and they made me feel very comfortable. In Kelowna you land on the roof of the hospital. I went directly to the coronary care unit. They were waiting for me and within minutes I was down in the Cath Lab to treat my heart condition. To have a helicopter pad at Queen Victoria Hospital is long overdue. I can't imagine how many lives it will actually save." – QVH Patient Bill Zmaeff. Read Bill's full account here.
Why now?
Revelstoke can be a very isolated community, especially when the highways are closed to major traffic accidents, snow or weather conditions (i.e. avalanches). There are a number of reasons why now:
- Since 2011, BCEHS has provided a dedicated air ambulance located in Kamloops. This helicopter operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week.
- The tertiary hospitals in Kelowna and Kamloops, where most often QVH patients are transported, have had their heliports upgraded to receive direct transfers right to the hospital.
- Because critical patients from Revelstoke deserve the best care we can provide – which means fast transportation to specialized medical care when it is needed.
How do we make this happen?
The Revelstoke District Health Foundation is asking the community, businesses and government agencies to come together and raise the $465,000 capital costs to build this heliport.
Interior Health has committed to cover the ongoing annual costs to operate the heliport once it is constructed.
The Plan
The detail design work for the proposed QVH heliport has been completed and meets Transport Canada requirements. Funds for this work were generously donated by the City of Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Committee and the Revelstoke District Health Foundation.

In the time it takes to get a patch written, tested, reviewed, etc. Drupal continues evolving. As Drupal evolves, the patches must be kept up to date. For example, imagine a patch that was originally created to make some edits to line 5 in file X. Two releases later the patch should actually edit line 10, not line 5. Now the patch has to be updated, or "re-rolled". Sometimes re-rolling a patch is complex, but usually it's pretty simple. Git provides some handy tools that will let you apply the patch to the version of Drupal it was written for, merge the changes into a newer version, and then re-create the patch.
Before getting started, it helps to have a basic understanding of what we're about to do with Git. Here's a brief overview of what's going on in Git during the patch re-rolling process.
Every saved revision of a Git project is called a 'commit'. Every commit in a project's history has an ID number (Figure 1.1).
When a new Drupal release comes out the project is tagged with the release number, for example,7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7. A tag is just an alias for a commit ID. It is a human readable name assigned to a specific revision of the project. (Figure 1.2).
Before re-rolling a patch, we will find a place in the project's history where the patch applies cleanly. (Figure 1.3)
Next we will create a local working branch, or 'topic' branch, based on a version of the project where our patch applies cleanly. (Figure 1.4)
Then we merge in more recent changes from branch 7.x to our working branch and resolve any conflicts that arise during the merge. (Figure 1.5)
Finally, we re-roll the patch by getting the diff between our local branch and Drupal's development branch. Then we save the new diff as a patch and post it on drupal.org.
(Figure 1.6 shows all the previous diagrams combined into one, in case it's helpful for reference.)
cd /path/to/drupal
git pull
git apply --check 1497310-statistics_config_settings-5.patch
git log -1 --before="March 30, 2012".
git checkout -b cmi-statistics 992692441
git apply --index 1497310-statistics_config_settings-5.patch
git status to see these changes. Avoid adding files which weren't in the initial branch, like the patch.
git commit -m "Applying patch from issue 1497310 comment 5804956"
git rebase 8.0.x
Everything above the ======= is from the "clean" upstream version. Everything below the ======= is found in the patch you are rerolling. In general, you want to keep what's in the clean upstream version, and then modify it to follow the changed behavior from the patch. This ensures that any other changes that have been made to the upstream version not affecting your patch do not accidentally get undone.
git add
git rebase --continue
git diff 8.0.x cmi-statistics > [description]-[issue-number]-[comment-number].patch
git checkout 8.0.x
git apply --check [description]-[issue-number]-[comment-number].patch
If the patch apply cleanly, you've just re-rolled a patch. Congratulations!.

Hiya. Great tutorial. Just wanted to point out that on http://drupal.org/patch/reroll they suggest to use 'git rebase' instead of 'git merge'. It was confusing to me, initially, which instructions to follow.
Took me a while and a lot of Googling to figure out that they both end up essentially with the same result, although rebase gives you one commit, and merge gives you two: your original commit + a merge commit.
Thu, 11/22/2012 - 11:30
Hi. Two suggestions:
(1) x-posting from my comment in core-office hours. When rerolling a patch, STEP 9 **IS REALLY IMPORTANT**. Otherwise you'll have a patch with missing stuff. :D
(2) Perhaps more detail on STEP 8 would be hepful. It might also be a good idea to introduce people to gui-based 3-way merge tools or to 'git mergetool'.

New Version of drupal is amazing but it is really typical. I am thinking to learn it properly so I took help with assignment UK for better guidance.
Wed, 03/04/2015 - 20:42
I have been at it for hours, but I cannot find a patch that patches cleanly at all. Ihave tried to detective steps for multiple patches and no commit ID seems to work. Is there something I am missing? No patch I find seems to have a commit ID with it. I feel like maybe I don't know where to look for it
