"My boyfriend and I both got fitted for running shoes at our local running store and we both walked away with a pair of Nike Pegasus 28's. I'm glad we did it because it turns out that he had been buying his shoes too big, and I had been buying mine too small. I think that women's Nike shoes run narrow anyway, so pay attention to what kind of socks you will be wearing when you run. If you wear thicker socks and notice that your feet kind of pooch out on the side, I would try to find a wide width, which this shoe does come in. Anyway, since we know what size we are now, we usually just buy them online because you can get better deals and more color options. We love the Pegasus. They're a wonderful running shoe with great support and excellent comfort. Both of us were suffering from calf and shin pain that was virtually gone after switching to this shoe. We just bought these in more colors to kick around in because we love them so much. They're seriously the most comfortable shoe we've ever owned."

Virgin Blue launches first V Australia flight to Abu Dhabi24/02/2011
- V Australia commences services from Sydney to Abu Dhabi 3 times a week
- Seamless connections across Europe, UK and the Middle East
- Australians benefit from fully reciprocal Velocity and Etihad Guest frequent flyer programs
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines will today launch the inaugural V Australia flight to Abu Dhabi, becoming the first Australian carrier to operate to the Middle East in 20 years.
The V Australia Abu Dhabi service is a key part of the new partnership between Virgin Blue Group of Airlines and Etihad Airways which will see the airlines offer a total of 27 weekly services between Abu Dhabi and Australia. For Australian travellers, this means double-daily services to London and daily services to Frankfurt, Dublin and Manchester.
Virgin Blue CEO and Managing Director John Borghetti said the inaugural flight signalled a new era for Australians travelling to Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa.
"Australian travellers will now be able to fly one-stop to more than 14 destinations in Europe and the United Kingdom with a quick one-stop service. This means a range of more convenient travel options for Australians, more competition on key international routes and more opportunities for Virgin Blue and Etihad customers to earn frequent flyer points and status credits", Mr Borghetti said.
"Since its launch in 2009, the award-winning V Australia service has changed the game for Australians travelling to the United States, providing a high-quality, competitive travel option. And that's exactly what we're looking to do with our new Abu-Dhabi service.
"IATA recently forecasted the Middle East as the top region for international passenger demand growth in the world at 9.4% over the next three years," Mr Borghetti said.
Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said: "Etihad Airways and the emirate of Abu Dhabi eagerly await the arrival of the inaugural V Australia flight.
"Already, the response to our network partnership has been very positive. Forward bookings are strong and we are seeing increased strength in the market with the capability of round-the-world connectivity.
"Etihad deploys more than 15 per cent of its entire global network seat kilometres to Australia and we are committed to driving long-term, incremental inbound tourism growth to this market, and to offering greater choice and competition for inbound and outbound travellers."
Virgin Blue Group CEO John Borghetti and Etihad Airways CEO James Hogan will both be on board V Australia's first-ever Sydney-Abu Dhabi flight today, along with the Australian Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Mr Doug Trappett, and Virgin Blue Group's new ambassador and Australian Olympian Ian Thorpe, who is flying to Abu Dhabi to continue training for the 2012 Olympic trials.
The flight departs from Sydney at 4.05pm AEDT and is due to land in Abu Dhabi at 11.40pm GST, where it will be met by senior Abu Dhabi officials.
V Australia will operate three Sydney-Abu Dhabi services per week from February 2011 and three Brisbane-Abu Dhabi services per week by February 2012, using its new fleet of three-class economically and environmentally efficient Boeing 777-300ERs. VA29 will fly from Sydney to Abu Dhabi on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, departing at 4.05pm and VA30 will fly from Abu Dhabi to Sydney on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing at 10.45am.
Virgin Blue Group's partnership with Etihad Airways delivers a combined global network of more than 100 destinations worldwide. This partnership is a key part of Virgin Blue Group's plans to build an international network of airline partners that can provide global coverage along with frequent flyer earn and redemption capabilities to benefit guests.

San Francisco Giants Smart to Tell Buster Posey Not to Block Home Plate
Bruce Bochy told catcher Buster Posey today not to block home plate if he has the chance, and that could not be a smarter move for the team's season and the franchise as a whole heading forward.
The collision involving Posey and Miami Marlins outfielder Scott Cousins at home plate last year ended Posey's season and pretty much ended the Giants' hopes of defending their World Series title. That is exactly what
Bochy does not want that to happen this season, and he told

San Jose Sharks vs. Los Angeles Kings: Who Will Win the Pacific Division and Why
For years we have heard of how special the Los Angeles Kings were going to be once they matured and grew as a unit. That maturation and a few trades have the Kings finally in contention to win the Pacific Division and clinch a top-3 seed in the Western Conference. But the San Jose Sharks continue to stand in their way, which is going to make it one thrilling second half of the season in California.

San Jose Sharks: 5 Trade Scenarios Involving Antero Niittymaki
The Antero Niittymaki era in San Jose has come to an end. Er, kind of. I am not even sure there was an era, just a mediocre stint for the Sharks in which he started 22 games over two seasons. Mix that with a slew of injuries and a lost back-up role, and you should have a pretty disgruntled goaltender.
And that is exactly what they have.

San Francisco Giants' Mediocre Offseason Has Team Falling Behind in NL West
With the San Francisco Giants' 40-man roster all but set for the 2012 MLB season, now is the time to make judgements about the team, the offseason they had and the what the future holds for the franchise.
The immediate judgements are not kind, to say the least.
GM Brian Sabean and the Giants have had a busy offseason, and while most would take that as a sign of good moves filling voids the team had before, that is simply not the case.

be nice when it is all done Arden...thanks.
We are having our house painted. This has put me and my garden/ work area out of commission for a few weeks...very frustrating!
love the little yellow window and the rainbow plate
My cracked terracotta pot fairy garden...what fun to make. Have lots more to use in one but have to find more cracked pots!!! so much fun.
The pot (square black plastic )t is about 12"deep I cropped the photo. I plan to winter it over outside and have the dwarf Jeans Dilly Alberta Spruce survive zone 5 temps.. The painted item (69 cents at goodwill) looks to be a dried "mushroom" that grew on a tree. It is really painted nicely and seems to be sealed w poly. A great inspiration.
I love it too...looks like it is planted in a not too deep container?? was at Michaels yesterday and they had lots of small items 40% off...of course I had to get a couple. Cute little things too. Coming soon to my next wee garden.
Love that, Arden.. love your creativity. :)
thanks Elizabeth...I don't actually know the real name of that plant. a member of the sedum family and succulent? it comes back every year anywhere it drops. it has a nice stalk whenit blooms with tiny yellow flowers. nice plant and it takes off so easily. I have it all over the yard in various pots, etc. Someone else may know the name of it. I have strawberry geraniums all over as well, they also will cover and grow wherever they can put their little roots. I love them. There is one in the firepit in a strawberry jar. You can see where the baby has started right next to the jar in the sand.

January 11, 2013
U Iowa Legal Studies Research Paper
This book of CASES AND MATERIALS ON INNOVATION AND COMPETITION POLICY is intended for educational use. The book is free for all to use subject to an open source license agreement. It differs from IP/antitrust casebooks in that it considers numerous sources of competition policy in addition to antitrust, including those that emanate from the intellectual property laws themselves, and also related issues such as the relationship between market structure and innovation, the competitive consequences of regulatory rules governing technology competition such as net neutrality and interconnection, misuse, the first sale doctrine, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Chapters will be updated frequently. The author uses this casebook for a three-unit class in Innovation and Competition Policy taught at the University of Iowa College of Law and available to first year law students as an elective. This Chapter, in a revised and expanded second edition, deals with issues of IP pooling and cross licensing, blanket and package licensing, joint development ventures, standard setting, the FRAND licensing process for standards essential patents, FRAND licensing obligations, the Jan. 2013 FTC/Google settlement, and related issues relating to collaborative innovation.

Virgin Blue To Fly The Aussie Skies05/02/2000
Australia's newest airline has announced it will be flying under the banner of Virgin Blue.
The name was chosen from among the 3200 entries received in a public "name the airline" competition in conjunction with Brisbane radio station 4KQ.
Over a dozen finalists came up with "Virgin Blue" and those names were placed in a hat and drawn live on air this morning by the Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Blue AIRLINES PTY LTD, Brett Godfrey.
The winner, an interior designer from Brisbane, will receive two return trips each year for life.
While Virgin Blue was deemed the best name for the revolutionary new airline, numerous creative submissions were made including , People First Airline, VIRGIN Air and Staff, Fair Fare VIRGIN, and I Can Afford That Airline.
Other more cheeky and imaginative suggestions included "Rooted Airlines" and "VIRGIN Down Under".
Richard Branson, Chairman of the VIRGIN Group, said there were a number of reasons why Virgin Blue was chosen:
"I've heard how Australians refer to a red head as a 'BLUEy' and since our planes are red, we thought it would be a bit of fun. Additionally, we think the name may be appropriate since some people suspect we are going to have a bit of a ŒBLUE' with the big airlines."
He continued, "Seriously though, it also represents our goal to prove to Australia how true BLUE we are about delivering low fares".
Branson concluded by saying "One thing is for sure. Based on the tremendous support this airline has received from the Australian public in the past five months, I am confident that we have not made a "BLUE" by challenging the duopoly that has limited domestic travel in Australia for too long."
The first of Virgin Blue's fleet of Boeing 737's is scheduled to arrive within a month from its European-based sister airline, VIRGIN Express.
The aircraft, with its new red livery, will take part in Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) proving flights as part of the process to obtain an Air Operators Certificate (AOC).
The Brisbane based airline is on track for a pre-Olympic start-up and is expected to announce its launch routes within the next few weeks.

Bigger sizes not for thin/skinny/narrow calves
"I am tall (5'10") and thin. I ordered a size 10 expecting (or at least hoping for) a 14-inch calf circumference as stated in the product detail. The size 10 has a 16-inch calf. Swallowed my legs with inches to spare! I wish sites would indicate narrow (12" - 14") calf boots like they do wide calf boots. Sooooo hard to find, especially in a larger size. Back to the drawing board."

The Crusaders brought the Stormers' unbeaten run to an end thanks to a well-earned 31-24 win in Christchurch.
The Crusaders brought the Stormers' unbeaten run in this season's Super Rugby tournament to an end thanks to a well-earned 31-24 win in Christchurch on Saturday.
Fly-half Tom Taylor stole the show by contributing all of his side's points with a try, conversion and eight penalties in what was a flawless performance by the Crusaders young gun.
Even though the visitors outscored their hosts two tries to one, their discipline let them down in the end but deserved to snatch a losing bonus point in injury time.
It was always going to be a tough day at the office for the Stormers, after losing both their first-choice locks to injury in the opening 20 minutes of the match.
But they soldiered on and managed to stay within touching distance of the seven-time champions throughout the thrilling encounter – cutting the deficit down to just one point (22-21) with a quarter of the game to play, before that man Taylor sealed the deal with his faultless boot.
The result keeps the Stormers on top of the Super Rugby standings although the Chiefs could move ahead of them with a victory over the Cheetahs later in the round.
The Crusaders moved up to seventh place overall but remained fourth in their conference indicating how tight the New Zealand conference is currently.
There were errors in this match that will be rightly criticised, but there were also superlative exhibitions of skill, unrelenting showings of power and no small measure of guts.
Taylor scored the first try of the game, after straight running and quick hands saw the ball worked to Corey Flynn on the wing and his inside pass put Taylor over.
Taylor added the extras but the visitors hit back through a Peter Grant penalty and a Juan de Jongh try after the centre hacked on a spilled pass from Carter and won the footrace to score. Pietersen added the touchline conversion to level the scores (10-10).
The Crusaders survived Wyatt Crockett's 10 minutes in the bin for a high tackle on Siya Kolisi which deserved little more than a penalty, but still went into the half-time sheds 19-13 up through three more Taylor penalties while Pietersen kept his team in the hunt with a penalty of his own.
Taylor continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over, until the Stormers cut the gap when Dewaldt Duvenage's clever cross-kick was gathered by Bryan Habana who finished. Pietersen missed the conversion which would have put them ahead.
Disaster struck for the Stormers after losing Rynardt Elstadt – shifted to lock in the absence of Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth – to the bin for a similar offence to that of Crockett.
It was another dubious call by referee Chris Pollock, and the Stormers spent a crucial period of the game with only seven forwards on the park.
Through Taylor's unerring boot, the hosts scored nine points while Elstadt was on the sideline and at 31-21 the game was over.
Grant nailed a well-taken penalty well after the siren though to earn the visitors a losing bonus point they thoroughly deserved for their part in a magnificent game.

For Crusaders:
Try: Taylor

Pens: Taylor 8

She was particularly noted for her love for young people, so much so that many adopted her and Ray as another set of grandparents. No one left her without feeling loved, important and appreciated.
An active LDS member, she spent her life living and preparing to meet her Heavenly Father and taught her family to do the same. She loved performing her church duties, especially temple ordinances.
Norma is survived by husband Raymond, daughters Lorie and Susan and their husbands Dennis Dunsmore and Sean Kearney, sister Lorain Carlson of Watertown S.D., brother Delore Beach of Wisconsin, grandchildren Amanda Huntington of Sioux Falls, S.D. and Jordan Huntington of Salt Lake City, Utah, Chad Dunsmore of Salt Lake City, Utah, Tyson Huntington of Orangeville, Utah, Kade Huntington of Clawson, Utah, and Jessica Huntington of Castle Dale, Utah, as well as two great-grandchildren, Boston and Logan Huntington.
She was preceded on her journey by her parents, her son Lloyd Ray, her brother Martin Beach and her sister Grace Behling.
Viewing will take place at Rasmussen Mortuary April 6, 2010, from 6-8 p.m. Services will be held April 7, 2010, at Mount Pleasant Second Ward LDS Chapel 295 South State Street, at 11 a.m. Graveside services will follow at Orangeville Cemetery (West Center Street) at 2 p.m. Online condolences at www.rasmussenmortuary.com.

"Portraits of Resilience" photo exhibition opened on 18 November 2013 at the State Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 19th Conference of the Parties.
"Portraits of Resilience" is part of the Many Strong Voices programme (www.manystrongvoices.org), which promotes the wellbeing, security, and sustainability of coastal communities in the Arctic and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
"Portraits" is a photo project that trains young people in the Arctic and SIDS ‐ regions being directly affected by climate change ‐ in the use of photography and other digital media. It helps bring personal stories of people and societies coping with rapid change to the attention of the general public and to decision-makers at international climate change negotiations.
The exhibition features the work of young photographers in Chukotka (Russia), the Canadian Arctic, Seychelles, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands. It is a collaboration between GoNorth! Adventure Learning and Many Strong Voices.
The work from Russia is called "Beringia: What Is Climate Change to You?" and is part of an ongoing
project funded by the US National Park Service and the Government of the Autonomous Region of
Chukotka. It is facilitated by the US non-profit organization GoNorth! Adventure Learning and involves Beringian youth who live in the far eastern part of Russia in ethnographic‐based science of climate and environmental change.
Students examine how climate change affects their environment and lives of people in their communities, and in the Arctic at large. The exhibition was opened by H.E. Mr. Ronald Jumeau,
Seychelles Ambassador for Climate Change and Small Island Developing State Issues.
Other speakers included youth from the Canadian Arctic, the small Caribbean island of Barbuda,
and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Statement by Ms. Josette Dijkhuizen, Women's Representative of the Netherlands
on the occasion of the sixty-eighth session of the General Assembly, Third Committee, under agenda item 28: Advancement of women. New York, 14 October 2013
Mr President, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
I am proud to deliver this statement as the representative of the women of the Netherlands.
But I am speaking here not just for them, but for women everywhere. I want to tell you about the challenges they face in terms of gender equality, and suggest ways of confronting those challenges.
860 million women – over a quarter of the world's women – cannot participate in the world economy. Even in countries like my own – the Netherlands – half of the female adult population is not financially independent. These are staggering figures. Staggering because they illustrate a global problem – but also because they signify an immense opportunity. Just think of the enormous potential these women represent – of the contribution they could make to the world's current economic and social challenges.
According to the World Bank, women invest 60% more of their earnings than men in 'social capital' – food, education and health care for their families. 60% more! This benefits whole societies. Not just in the short term, but also in the long run. Future generations benefit greatly from their mothers' activities. Developing the enormous potential of women can create jobs and bring economic prosperity to many countries – as well as boosting innovation, reducing poverty and promoting well-being. Women are the agents of change!
Millennium Development Goal number 3 is very clear: promote gender equality and empower women. One way to become empowered is to run your own business. But women entrepreneurs still face many barriers. Take Thabo from Malawi, who can't start her own farming business because she isn't allowed to own land. Obstacles persist, in both developed and developing countries. In the former, the so-called 'glass ceiling' holds women back on the career ladder. But in many parts of the world women are nowhere near the ceiling. They can't even get their foot on the ladder. They have no access to capital, no access to property, no access to markets.
All these barriers mean that we can't develop the potential of women's entrepreneurship. But even when barriers are removed, opportunities aren't always seized. How can we make the most of this untapped potential? The first step is simply to take businesswomen seriously!
In the Netherlands, for example, women still take on more than their fair share of domestic duties. They find it hard to balance work and private life. Many dream of running their own business, but cannot turn their dreams into reality. In part, women need to learn to stand up more for their ambitions. Peer networks and high-profile role models are a good way of stimulating entrepreneurship and helping companies to grow. Owners of companies can act as mentors, as happens in the successful Dutch programmes Growth Accelerator and Qredits.
Women's entrepreneurship is about strong individuals helping to solve global problems and creating wealth and welfare through innovation and collaboration. It's about great women and great enterprises. Women entrepreneurs are different from and yet equal to their male counterparts. Different in their way of doing business. Equal in their qualities.
Encouraging women to start their own business and participate in economic growth is not enough. Microcredits and inclusive finance have definitely shown their value. Starting off 30 years ago in Bangladesh, where the Grameen Bank helps women like Anwara, who got a micro loan for her cellphone company. But now it's time to step things up. To place women on a more equal footing. To go beyond small credits and small undertakings, and to recognise the full potential of business women . Such recognition is crucial if women are to invest in and expand their businesses and to develop their own strengths..
Entrepreneurship leads to empowerment. Women who have their own income enjoy a stronger position. They gain respect, by contributing to the family's earnings. They have a means of escape from domestic violence – like Alexandra from the Netherlands who started a successful company after being the victim of abuse. Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a new business but also about starting a new life. Empowerment in the form of greater self-confidence, self-esteem and social inclusion.
In my search for solutions, I spoke to entrepreneurs, academics, politicians, NGOs, students. They all recognised the enormous untapped potential of women's entrepreneurship. They called for barriers to be removed, role models to be deployed, and men and women entrepreneurs to work together to tackle global challenges.
When you leave this room, ask yourself if you are alert to the potential of women entrepreneurs in your country. Do what you can to remove the obstacles they face, and encourage them to seek mentors. It's time to take businesswomen seriously. Not just because they could use some help, but because they can help us all. Together we can identify opportunities, combat challenges and create the wealth and welfare the world needs.
Thank you.

|In response to Re: cast iron tub removal
It is difficult to describe how to do it, but I have removed, and installed, hundreds of cast iron tubs by myself. It is a matter of turning it on its front edge and then "jockeying" it out of the space.
How do we remove a cast iron tub? The tub is impossibly heavy to lift in one piece, and we cannot find this solution on any do it yourself websites.

Skip to comments.Lesbians React to 'Blue Is the Warmest Color':'Pretty Obvious Two Straight Women Having Sex'
Posted on 11/11/2013 7:00:15 PM PST by massmike
Real gay women offer their insights into the sex scenes that earned the Palme d'Or winner an NC-17 rating.
French coming-of-age film Blue Is the Warmest Color has been at the center of controversy since premiering at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Despite critical praise for the three-hour exploration of teenage sexuality and relationships, several lengthy lesbian sex scenes featuring stars Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux provoked a fury of warring quotes between director Abdellatif Kechiche and the two actresses.
In a new video from Posture Magazine, filmmaker Yeni Sleidi screened selected scenes from Blue for a group of gay women. While the panelists mostly agree that Exarchopoulos and Seydoux are clearly straight women acting the part, their reactions are consistently blasé when it comes to the controversial sequence.
When asked if the questionable sex scenes played out believably, another woman responds that "I would like to say no, but it was a little bit like my mornings."
(Excerpt) Read more at hollywoodreporter.com ...
So...would a film of me getting my freak on win any awards?
If not, why not?
Yeah, and you know, that reentry in GRAVITY was kind of fakey, too.
The give away was that they were attractive, not obese, and they shaved.
I was thinking, the lesbian reaction was likely
"No way! In real life, there's much more hair, fat rolls, sweat, and bad breath!"
Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo!
"When asked if the questionable sex scenes played out believably, another woman responds that "I would like to say no, but it was a little bit like my mornings."
Do you gotta be a member of the gay club to get that?
Apparently...because I have no clue what she means,either!
It just might... especially if it involves you, your bike and Alice.
Well, I read this. I have no idea why I read it. I have no idea what it even said. What did it say?
If it was two women having sex, they weren't straight.
I think I'll have glass of dry water...
I like watching "The Walking Dead", but I can tell that they are not real zombies..... its a show.... they are actors.
Too confusing. Are the dykes saying that two straight actresses are portraying dykes in the movie?
If I understand correctly, they are acting. Why does this matter, let alone take up space on this board?
Thanks! You just totally ruined the show for ALL of us! ;)
that and their gardeners are probably fired.
'The Walking Dead, ... they are not real zombies..... its a show.... they are actors.'
A bit of big, disillusioning news on this thread, bhf. The zombies are not real. Who knew?
Sounds like what they're saying is that only lesbian actresses can accurately portray lesbian characters. So for the role of Captain Phillips they should have hired a real sea captain, too? No more actors. Every part must be played by the actual person portrayed?
Is this really appropriate for FR? Hollywood Reporter?
What next? Spock wasn't a REAL Vulcan?
Wat choo talkin bout, Willis?
In general, homosexual sex is far more degrading than even adventurous heterosexual sex. I had a lesbian employee for a while, and while she never discussed her sexual habits in front of customers, I have overheard bits and pieces of what does go on.
Let's just say that there isn't a body part that cannot be used for stimulation in some way.
I'm going to take a shower now, because I don't feel clean.
I should probably add that many items we heterosexuals wouldn't really think of using are often used in their sexual adventures.
That article is really difficult to follow.
Zombies are not real? What the heck is crawling around in San Fransicko and Berserkly?
Spock wasnt a REAL Vulcan?
If that is true, keep it to yourself. I don't need a second major letdown in one night.
Good one!
"Spock wasnt a REAL Vulcan?"
Just because he had a human mother doesn't mean he wasn't a real Vulcan!
His ears were the dead giveaway. No human has ears that size, shaped that way. I don't care what anybody says...Spock was REAL.
Think I need a shower as well after that post. Eww.
I made my point, though.
Alice the singer or Alice my snake?
[this is a very important question]
It'll be done in 8mm.
Gritty is good.
Imagine the difficulty of casting "Godzilla" or The Kraken.
But I wanna be fawned over at Cannes just because I'm part of some over-rated perverse sexual subset of society.
If you gotta strap sumthin' on to get it done, just go get a guy.
Simple as that.
Honest mistake.
Even eyeballs?
No way.
And made lot of new FRiends! Pervy scurvy FRiends. ;^) lol
My favorite kind.
" ... according to the symptoms it isn't all you've got, but it seems they haven't found the cure ... "
Love Joe!

Flying LDoms with fldom tool
By Jerome Blanchet on mai 27, 2009
In case of hardware Failure it is good to have a very simple way to manually restart LDoms in few seconds in one other server. The Warm and Cold Migration is a very good way for moving LDoms from a primary physical platform to a secondary physical platform. But in case of crash of primary platform the Migration could be hard to use. Also if we wish to have a simple way to easily move at any time a several LDoms to a pool of several physical servers it could be hard to maintain all vdisks configurations in all physical servers for all LDoms.
One simple solution is to create all vdisks in a share file system (NFS - PXFS) or failover file system (ZFS - metaset) and export the LDom and all associated vdisks and vswitches configurations in that File System. Then we can used this exported informations on the secondary platform to restart the LDom. Before restart the LDom on secondary platform we must check the availability of resources (CPU/MAU/Memory), services (vdiskservers/vswitches) and all backend files needed to restart the LDom. Then we can recreate all vdiskserverdevices on the right backends with right options for the specific LDom.
The fldom (Flying LDom) tool can be used to easily manage Flying Ldoms. This tools allow us to export LDom configuration in share or failover file system. Export option example:
The fldom tool allow us to detach the LDom from one server (remove it and delete all vdsdev), and attach the LDom to a new server (check needed services and resources, recreate all needed vdsdev, create and bind the LDom). Attach and detach options example:
So it is very easy to quickly restart the LDom in any server in case of primary platform failure with fldom attach option and exported informations. For example primary T5xx0 Failure scenario:
If using ZFS as failover file system for Flying LDoms without SunCluster we have to be careful of ZFS import with force option as there is no yet the support of Multi-import protection in ZFS.
The fldom tool is available here for download as simple Solaris package. Don't forget to call SunPS to successfully help you to implement this Flying LDoms solution with fldom tool. The next step will be HA-LDom to allow automatic LDom failover with SunCluster, I hope coming soon. Have fun with LDoms.

What would you suggest for Pride Day? Or for a vogueing competition?
First a disclaimer. This is not my forum/thread, I am not some authority or mod and everyone has as much "right" to post what they want. That being said:
This is the classic mens clothing side of the forum. I think it's a fair statement to make that classic mens clothing encompasses suits/sportcoats/dress shoes/office pents and some variations/derivations. Jeans and a sportcoat can be considered a casual variation on classic menswear(although I don't like the look) but jean shorts and a wifebeater would not. Which brings me to your post (and, while I am singling you out, too many here do the same). So you are at a Pride parade wearing old man boxer shorts, sock garters, sneakers and a wife beater. How is that remotely connected to what was once the theme of this thread? Unless you are showing us your take on 85 year old men undergarments, I don't get it. There is nothing to see/learn/suggest from your post. Too many posts here have become this wasteland where the OP knows he is posting an awful outfit, is not looking to change/improve in any way, shape or form and couldn't care less. (get off my lawn diatribe coming) When I started here and looked at WAYWN, there was tons of stuff to see and learn from. Be it bespoke, off the rack, thrift store, lots of great stuff. Even if you didn't like any outfits, there was always color, fabric, pattern information you could apply to your wardrobe. So when you were new to dressing well and you came here and saw pics, you saw endless possibilities on how to improve. Now a newbie gets wifebeaters, super tight pants (with requisite crotch shot), costumes and outfits that should be worn when gardening. Instead of a valuable resource, it's become an extension of peoples twatter/Facebook accounts. You (not you individually Kevin) dont have to post everyday. You don't have to post every outfit. Save the best for here. Look through the old WAYWN for inspiration. When you are dressed like a grown man that is going to an interview/first date/art gallery/client meeting/wedding etc post here. When you are dressed like you are going to a Phish concert, post on Facebook.
