Blitzboks falter in Dubai
3 Dec 2011
The Springboks Sevens conceded a last-minute try in their 17-14 Plate final defeat to Australia while England lifted the Cup on day two of the Dubai Sevens.
England downed France 29-12 in the title decider, which confirmed their second consecutive Dubai Cup success. But for the Blitzboks, it was a disappointing end to their campaign in Dubai after a impressive run on day one, which saw them top Pool B and record a famous win over defending World Series champions New Zealand. It was the Blitzboks' worst tournament finish since their run at the Wellington leg in 2010, where they lost 26-12 to Fiji in the Plate final.
Against Australia, South Africa started strongly and claimed a converted try from the first attacking move. Chris Dry was the scorer, after playing a key role in winning possession from the kickoff. Aussie youngster Lewis Holland levelled matters before Branco du Preez capitalised on a Boom Prinsloo break to secure a 14-5 lead at half-time.
But the Blitzboks were errant in the second stanza, and the Aussies won the ascendancy and scored two tries through Hamish Angus and Holland. The latter score was a runaway try from the Aussies' 22m area as South Africa slipped two tackles in the final movement of the match.
Earlier in the day, the Springboks Sevens beat Wales 22-7 in the Plate semi-final.
It was an easy win over the 2009 World Cup winners. It was a Grey College connection that secured a 12-0 half-time lead as Boom Prinsloo set up Robert Ebersohn for the first try before putting through William Small-Smith moments later.
Renfred Dazel and Branco du Preez both dived in at the right corner to complete the victory, while Wales managed to grab a late try through Owen Williams.
In their first match of the day, the Springbok Sevens' title run came to an abrupt end with a 19-5 Cup quarter-final defeat to France.
France scored all the points in the first stanza, with Manoel Dall crossing the line shortly before the break. Renaud Delmas and Terry Bouhraoua sealed the match with second half tries as South Africa could only dot down for a consolation score via Bernado Botha.

and a hunger for western women -
4 Dec 2011, 23:13 pmnothing wrong with Joe Cocker.. he made Mc Cartney's 'With a little help from my friends' an ALL time classic and did it better than anyone else could have done it with far more soul and feeling and passion than Lennon – McCartney could have done in a thousand million years…
4 Dec 2011, 23:15 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-150:
holy moly another dylan fan, yessus this oke must have had some sort of cult following in the USA and the RSA, was there some sort of surfer tripartite exchange program between california, durbs and the cape? pretentious crud. no hell there been far better music to come out of the states, the way it should be played with the gut, by the black r&b musos well before pseuds like bob. -
4 Dec 2011, 23:19 pmwent to go watch a few bands the other night, but alot of them reverting back to this fok music solo songwriter poetry ****, give me the energy of the band any day, the working class fellas still the best, but also still wear that chip on their sleeves.
4 Dec 2011, 23:24 pmDylan is a genius.. the modern version of a Blake or Shakespeare.. that's how close to genius that mad muther faker is… so much so that even those that were hailed as the forefront vanguard of political inter fusion between the lefty folk movement like Pete Seger and Joan Baez and Ginsberg and the rest looked up to this scrawny little 21 year old kid as their new found savior during the height of the M. Luther King black consciousness movement .. which he participated in initially then denounced and walked away from.. because he knew that was not him…
4 Dec 2011, 23:25 pm@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-152: Springsteen would have done "With a little help from my friends" ten times better… His version of Pretty Flamingo makes Manfred Mann's redundant…
4 Dec 2011, 23:28 pmu gotta be out of your tree and seeing genius where there aint any…i;m with the pomegranites in the know that see it as rot mostly, but then again there was some prof of english over here who reckon he some kind of modern willie wiegelspies of iets. but that whole beat generation just stream of consciousness rubbish, mind as well be singing about his pet canary.
4 Dec 2011, 23:32 pm@cab(cab)-153: The Master is no pseud… at all… His lyrics have more truth and power than many pagan vegan new age crystalgazing books put together… But yeah granted he couldn't and can't sing for shy.te.
Heck, the Byrds became a great band just by virtue of the fact that they did his songs justice when they performed them…
Nothing beats their version of Mr Tambourine Man… Nothing.
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. -
4 Dec 2011, 23:36 pmyou obviously cannot recognize genius when it stares you in the face…
I met Richie Havens in Cape Town a few years back.. his favorite all time song is Hard Rain is a gonna fall .. that is perhaps one the most poignant all time classic folk / protest songs of all time with far more moving deep seated truth and compunction than ANY garbage upstart little Liverpudlian dockland group could come up with in a thousand lifetimes of song writing… and they knew it.. that why they bow at the maestro's feet when it comes down to genius stakes…
Same as all the Brit guitarists bowed at Hendrix feet.. Clapton, Page, Beck, Richards, Townshend all bowed at Hendrix feet.. so did Lennon – McCartney, and the rest of the Brit rock generation bow at the master Dylan feet in song writing hierarchy…
4 Dec 2011, 23:38 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-158:
And Turn turn Turn ageless -
4 Dec 2011, 23:39 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-156:
the Woodstock version of With Little Help from my Friends by Cocker was a master performance out of this planet and Springsteen would never come close to replicating or putting that much soul or feeling into that song as Cocker did that day… go watch it again on u-tube if you can find it your backbone flesh gonna crawl.. and if it don't then you no music fundi…
4 Dec 2011, 23:42 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-158:
Dylan can sing.. its just you pagan barbarians that got no f'ng ears… all you got are heathenish mouths that guzzle left over carrion from last nights BBQ
and Dylan is a veggie himself.. I betcha Springsteen might even be.. ain't that gonna blow your cotton picking barbarous socks right off your stinky little piggy trotter feet ?
4 Dec 2011, 23:43 pmyeah the beatles werent my cup of tea, mccartney too much of a happy-go-lucky pansie, but john lennon was brilliant, he's songs were also far more understated than the self-involved pseudo-intellectual black turtleneck dylan. its true tho lennon did pay homage to dylan at one stage, tho thats when they started getting more mainstream and touring to the states. oasis probably the equivalent with the gallagher bros, pure genius, but probably too new for you.
4 Dec 2011, 23:46 pm@CoachPete(CoachPete)-160: Jeez, but you got to laugh when you see videos of them performing… High as kites…
4 Dec 2011, 23:52 pm@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-161: Cocker is a soppy gravel voice softcock… Not even in the league of John Fogerty a true gravelly voiced talent….
You talking absolute fairy tales if you think Dylan is a vegetarian… absolutely no chance… Neither Springsteen either… For that level of creativity and truth in their songs they need all the Vitamin B12 they can only get from copious amounts of red meat…
Yup, I would go to the extent of stating beyond a doubt that without eating red meat Dylan would never have been able to write the songs he does or has done… Categorically.
4 Dec 2011, 23:52 pmddint know lennon was a food nazi, thats enough to put one of his music alone, must have been when he started making all that dosh and giving peace a chance in yokos fanjita and all, but cant imagine too many veggies running around the merseyside docks in the 60s.
4 Dec 2011, 23:53 pm@cab(cab)-163: Oasis…? WTF? They're not even in the same league… Only Wonderwall is a song of note…
4 Dec 2011, 23:58 pm@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-167: wonderwall is one of the best songs of all-time, hands down, no matter if they became slightly mainstream or whatever, that truly was a moment of genius.
5 Dec 2011, 00:00 am@cab(cab)-166: Yeah, Lennon was screwy… Went vegetarian with Yoko and then started thinking he was messianic singing his off in the clouds Imagine… Bonkers. Went mad… Thats what happens if you think lentils are the same as a nice big steak.
5 Dec 2011, 00:03 amOasis Aussie pseudo rock and rollers.. no way near to the genius of Dylan.. all the Brit song writers bow to Dylan's genius.. check how many songs and how many words he penned in a legendary career that has spanned more than half a century and still writing.. though he don't have the depth now that he had at the time of his fresh brilliant genius as a 21 year old protege…
Half racked prejudice leaped forth put down all hate I screamed
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.There's no black and white, left and right to me anymore; there's only up and down and down is very close to the ground.
a poem is a naked person . . . some people say that I am a poet
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man
Oh where have you been my blue eyed son, where have you been my darling young one
I been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyardHalf of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time,
But all the people can't be all right all the time.
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.
I said that.Come ye Masters of war
once loved a woman, a child I am told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul.Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'.All I really want to do is, baby, be friends with you.
I ain't looking for you to feel like me, see like me, or be like me.Oh God said to Abraham, Kill me a son.
Abe says, Man, you must be puttin' me on.The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
You will not die, it's not poisonOnce upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.Oh, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free.
Take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time…
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.There's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all.
She knows too much to argue or to judge.
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back.
She could take the dark out the nighttime and paint the daytime black.Well, I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like themJohnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trenchcoat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again -
5 Dec 2011, 00:04 am@cab(cab)-168: Fark that… Was offered hospitality to one of two concerts: Oasis or Take That, at Wembley Stadium… I am even ashamed to say I ended up going to Take That – that is how much I "rate" Oasis…
5 Dec 2011, 00:04 am@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-169:
imagine was a fantastic album. he was far better than mcartney. the best stuff is the british sound, like their comedy its untouchable, but the yank bands coming back with a vengeance and probaby copied it too better effect with bands like the strokes, the white stripes and the killers – even that vampire weekend stuff ok. -
5 Dec 2011, 00:07 amLennon was veggie long before Yoko.. George was veggie full on Hare Krishna devotee and they all went to visit Maharishi the founder of TM way back in around 66 or 67 long before Yoko..
Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Madism, Dragism, Shagism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chanceits goin' great
Everybody's talkin' bout'ministers,
sinisters, banisters and canisters,
bishops and fishops and rabbis and pop eyes,
and byebye, byebyesall we are saying is give peace a chance,
all we are saying is give peace a chance, -
5 Dec 2011, 00:09 amu need to open your mind and your ears, there was life before and after the 60s, tho not as you know it. oasis bladdy good band, but not much one for analysing the words and poetry, u just feel the words and music together, and that band is damn good.
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-171:
holy ****, you are completely berserk, take that is pure crud. -
5 Dec 2011, 00:09 amAnd I guess I lost my way
there were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying
or even how much I owedJust then I saw a young hawk flyin'
and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunderTowering waves
Will crash across your southern capes
Massive storms
Will reach your eastern shores
Fields of green
Will tumble through your summer days
By design
In your timeTHE Detroit Master Songwriter….
5 Dec 2011, 00:10 amLennon was a soapy softy goody two shoes copy cat compared to Dylan.. Imagine is nowhere near to any of Dylan's early stuff from 61 through to 67 Dylan was Master of all Masters in the song writing hierarchy of song writers..
You can't compare the two in terms of depth and punch
5 Dec 2011, 00:10 amlol, ou doosie is back in the 60s…
5 Dec 2011, 00:12 ambullshit, dylan was a total goody 2shoes who decided it was a time to rebel, lennon came from a totally different background, u smoking your pipe again and blowing smoke holes out your ***.
5 Dec 2011, 00:13 am@cab(cab)-172: Fark the rest… Killers are good… along with Gaslight Anthem and KOL…
Killers have some very good material already…. Excellent… Haven't been to a concert of theirs yet…
Seen a video of them performing at Royal Albert Hall… Dustland Fairy Tale, Mr Brightside and When You Were Young nearly collapsed the building…
5 Dec 2011, 00:15 amyou just a Pom through and through .. that why you ain't ever gonna understand Dylan.. nor anything remotely true to the heart.. its all pseudo punk rock Brit pom pom flat as a pannekoek bland bam bam bangers and mash – thats how much you can appreciate true soul music from the land of the free…
5 Dec 2011, 00:16 amLennon was farked in the head with his vegan hallucinations and Yoko… Totally overrated… McCartney was much better, even Harrison…
5 Dec 2011, 00:16 am@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-179:
killers the most mainstream of that lot, but they very good, tho their modern stuff is getting poor, didnt like human. that concert at the RAH must have been pretty fkn amazing, those are three fantastic songs. -
5 Dec 2011, 00:18 ami aint no pomegranite, but if you cant give credit where its due, you need your head read and got zero taste. music, comedy and pubs cannot be beat anywhere. the brits and african-american sounds is rock music at its pinnacle, the rest are footnotes.
5 Dec 2011, 00:18 amtime out
whenever you wanna know the answer to the universe go knock on somebody's door who knows… and you won't find it in any garbage riddled good book of bullshit baffling brainlessness either
5 Dec 2011, 00:20 amnext thing he going to come up with elvis ek se, even the blesbok was far superior…
5 Dec 2011, 00:22 am@cab(cab)-182: Human is one of their best songs actually… Inspired by Hunter S Thompson… They broke the mould with that song… confused a lot of people with the doof duff wiggle wiggle… But very good lyrics.
5 Dec 2011, 00:22 amAm out now but I leave with lyrics:
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time? -
5 Dec 2011, 00:24 amMc Cartney is a f'ng ponce deluxe and Lennon made that band without Lennon there was never gonna be a Beatles.. you could do away with McCartney and Harrison and Starsky but Lennon was the back bone of the Beatles.. and they all knew it…
Lennon had balls and a heart.. McCartney is one pseudo little moddly coddly Brit pop idol .. Harrison had depth and feeling but not the guts of Lennon..
But Dylan was and is streaks ahead of them by a few light years in comparison… Lennon the only one that ever came anywhere remotely close…
5 Dec 2011, 00:25 amnight night
5 Dec 2011, 06:02 amfor these poor contrary Constantinople type Xmas pagan ritual worshiping half baked so called christian soldiers who wanna continue befuddling their befuddled bewildered bewitched brains about who's a veggie eating genius and who's not, Robert Allen Zimmerman alias Bob Dylan is a vegetarian, its clearly stated in his biographical notes, and if you still can't fathom truth from fallacy like you wanna pretend JC cooked cows and calves for his food which he did and could not do being brought up and educated in the strict Nasorean – Essene sect of non flesh eating Judaism along with his mentor and cousin – friend John the Baptist who was beheaded for his forthright unashamed telling of the truth, as Ch'rist was crucified for doing the same, then go google it all up on your new age information biblical pontifical reference Wikipedia if you can't fathom fact from fiction.
While you confirming that Dylan is one go google how many other 'famous vegetarians' like Einstein and how many more there were/are, or google J'sus the Nasorean or the Essene Gospels for some wide awake re education you so patently and obnoxiously are in direct dire need of before you cook your fatted Xmas goose or gobble up your gobbledegook gobble wobble Xmas turkey pudding
5 Dec 2011, 08:34 am@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-190: There is sense in the midst of your ramblings. You are of course correct that ***** was in all likelihood a veggie and most certainly right that early Christianity co-opted many pagan festivals into its own calendar, Christmas being one of the end results (the latter established beyond all responable doubt by the very scholars over the years at universities who you seek to deride; how ironic).
As for the syuff re Dylan, the Beattles, etc. Who cares, people! Enjoy the music!
5 Dec 2011, 08:35 amThe ***** is J-es-us
5 Dec 2011, 08:52 am@Michael(mikeybrass)-191: Fact is, everyone who isn't totally ignorant knows all of this, but enjoys the festival aspect of the holidays, including Easter, which is possibly the biggest "amalgamation" of all the pagan festivals with Christian ones.
Still fun, particularly with the kids.
5 Dec 2011, 09:01 amParty on, dude!
(Showing my age:-) )
5 Dec 2011, 09:03 am@Michael(mikeybrass)-194: party on Wayne.

It's no secret that Kelly has been wanting to tour the major markets post her DC days, even saying how she has dreamed about her setlist for her current album 'Here I Am' which hit stores next Tuesday. This will no doubt be a sellout tour and one full of high energy. Both Kelly and Chris got a chance to hangout out most recently on the set of Lonny Bereal's video shoot for 'Favor'. Check back with OMKelly soon for more details. What do you guys think about the tour?

Smart Woman: Keeping A Diet During Thanksgiving
By: Maxine Ridling
Updated: November 22, 2012
Cassandra Gaudet, a member of the Bayou City Crossfit Gym said, "I'm thinking that's tough to do. It is at the beginning because you have to restructure the way you think about food."
And restructure she did. She added crossfit training and began following what's called a Paleo diet.
It's just about knowing having the knowledge to make the right decisions," Gaudet said.
With the healthy changes, Gaudet lost 20 pounds.
The Paleo Diet calls for eating lots of protein, like hamburger, chicken and natural vegetables.
So her advice is to cut out bad carbs, even during your Thanksgiving feast.
Krisitan Montoya, a Crossfit coach said, "More turkey and more vegetables on the plate. More of the green beans. More of the sweet potato. Rather than mashed potato and dressing and stuff like that."
Montoya says cutting carbs will help you burn even more fat when you do fast paced exercise, like those at his Crossfit gym.
Michael Agee, another gym Member, said the changes are tough.
"They're tough. It takes a lot of dedication. I just try to stay from the sweets. that's my main thing just stay away from the sweets."
Sticking with a plan, nutritionists say can make a big difference.

I once had a logo design client who wanted me to work off the ideas of his thirteen year old daughter. After over 15 re-do's we finally produced something horrible that she liked and I didn't want to put my name to the work it was that bad.
What was your worst client?
I once had a female client who had a massive crush on me and it became really awkward after awhile since she was a lot older and not very attractive... That was definitely the worse client I had, at a time when I needed the work as well.
Well, I can say that I've never experienced that particular situation myself -- but it doesn't sound so bad! ;)
I've had the good fortune of working with some of the most laid-back, gracious people I've ever met...but I have heard a lot of horror stories from underappreciated, overworked friends.
I think maybe this says it all:

LOL. Kristy, that's an awesome image. That just about says it all when dealing with people.
Wait...is this a joke?
Wow. Why didn't he just have his daughter do the work? That would've been a better use of your time and theirs. Not to mention, if the guy trusted his daughter's judgment so much he should've just stuck with that. On the other hand, I'd like to see a pic to see what we are talking about here. Some teens can do great designs. :) Just saying...
Yeah, I know right? I mostly hate it when I think a job is going to be easy then I find out I'm going going to make like 50 cents an hour. I have to finish my education.
Freelancing is SO much better in theory than reality. What SHOULD take 5 hours takes 8 every time, and you've usually priced it for 4 to get the job.
Oh do I understand more than you realize. :) I feel for all of you who have dealt with difficult client(s). I'm glad I don't have that many but when I do I think about the four other jobs I could complete in the amount of time it takes to please one of them.
Darn clients.

Need help on Linux
April 28, 2012, 03:14:43 PM »
Hello everyone
I am very new to the Linux operation systems, I am planning to buy a new PC just to run Linux OS on it, need to practice and mess around with Linux and make a foot into the doors of Linux world, regarding that I have a few questions:
1-Do i need a specific computer requirments?, the computer I found its processor is "intel pentium 4 3.2 ghz", is that enough for a Linux OS to work properly?
2- I am an absolute beginner, so i dont really know which Lunix to get (redhat, ubuntu...etc), I am going to be writing shells and get fimiliar with Linux commands thats for first, afterwards will be doing some pentesting and programming in general, so what version of Linux do you suggest and why? if possible could you support me with a download link for the version you suggested?
Thanks very much

I've got an asus eee pc 1005 ha netbook that runs backtrack just fine. Search google for linux compatible laptops. There's a site out there that lists laptops known to work with different flavors of linux.

1) You can also utilize a virtualization software, such as VMware Workstation/Player or Oracle VirtualBox and use the saved money from the computer for books, training etc. Sticking to such a solution also comes with a variety of advantages, such as snapshots and easy/fast restoration in case you have messed up something unintentionally.
2) There is no correct answer to this question, so I'll just throw out

Virtualization software are programs that pretend to be computers so that you can run another operating system inside of them. So, you can have a desktop PC running Windows and install VMware then run Linux inside VMware without affecting Windows. For a user with a single PC, this means you can run two OSes side by side and that you don't have to partition your hard drive and dual-boot in order to use a second OS.

You have about 2 free and popular solutions you can use for running virtual machines on your host (physical hardware and OS) machine.
VMware player - this is VMware's free player that allows you to run any vmware based virtual machine. VMware has a number of pre-built images on their site for various appliances. There are a number that are free. So if you need a VM based IPS appliance, there is probably something up there. Also if you build in vmware player, and you decide you need more features, you can purchase VMware workstation and migrate your current VMs into it. I will talk more on the features of VMware workstation soon. Only major negative is you need to sign in to download this. Registering is free so now cost required but it is just a hassle sometimes. Registering does also get you access to the vmware appliances.
The one major negative with vmware player is no snapshot ability. Snapshots are ways to quick save the system state before you make any changes. If your changes FUBAR everything, you can roll back to the snapshot and everything is right as rain.
Virtualbox (owned by Oracle now since they bought Sun) - It is similar to VMware player. I haven't used it much since I own vmware workstation and fusion (mac). But it will get the job done and it is a little easier to get since you don't need to setup an account to do so. The advantage of Virtualbox compared to vmware player is the ability to snapshot. The only con to VB is that it does not have as many pre-built OS images out there, though it does support importing of vmware images. I've had mixed luck with this.
Those are the free ones, now onto the paid ones.
ESXi - well this is the "enterprise" hyper-visor from vmware, it is designed to run as the host OS, very light wait and supports numerous virtual configurations. The initial price is free, but the hardware requirements are very particular. So tossing it on a standard workstation may not cut it. They have a decent HAL but I would leave this for more advanced users and for those who are moving into a large scale lab. The cost is in the add-ons and server hardware.
Microsoft Hyper-V - this is MS's server class equivalent to ESXi. Unfortunately it is not free since you need to have a licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server enterprise or datacenter. Not cheap! Though it runs great on the low end Dell small business servers which start at like 600 bucks with no OS.
Vmware Workstation/Fusion - these are the paid versions of vmware player. There are a bunch of nice features with these. Unity allows you to run vm applications as if they were running on your desktop, I find this valuable when you need apps from your host while working in your vm without having to bounce in and out of the VM to do things. I use this the most when doing labs along side a web based training site. Also if you want to feel like you are running a full time linux OS that takes advantage of your physical hardware, Workstation/Fusion support multiple displays. Workstation is the Windows/Linux product and Fusion is the Mac. Both of these also support snapshots as well as multiple virtual host OSes. I have at least one VM of Win7, XP, Server 2008 and a couple different flavors of linux depending on the situation. With decent host hardware I can usually run 3-4 at a time. My desktop has 5GB RAM with Athlon x64 CPU and the Mac is an i7 MBP with 8GB of ram. Just don't try to run a bunch of these on battery, you can almost see the bar move in realtime!
The other paid product is Parallels which is an alternative to vmware, price wise, its about the same and has the same features. It is marketed more toward the Mac users converting over from Windows and want to keep a virtual version of their old laptop/desktop around. It has many P2V (Physical-to-Virtual) features built in. Vmware has this but it requires a separate conversion app. Which is free but it is labeled as an enterprise product.
Ok, that might have been a bit more than you needed but I love virtualization and I miss using it on the infrastructure level since I have switched into my security roll. I don't get to play much with toys unless they need a review before allowing them on the network. Last toy I got to play with was the Samsung Slate, I am tempted to pick one up for myself

Ah, I keep forgetting about the Xen stuff, probably because it is the one that I have never tried. Thanks Chris.

I ran almost 50 servers on it. for personal use, i use virtual box. although my VPS hosting company uses xen.

No, you can run Linux on virtually any hardware (almost). You can run Linux on a 300MHz processor, that's more than 10 times below 3.2GHz, so yes, you can run Linux
What bugs most people, is proper hardware support, but if you use Ubuntu and use their website, their forums and Google, you should be able to make most of your hardware function in case any of it doesn't work right out of the box. (Depends on how new your computer is and how common your hardware is.)
If you need e.g., wireless drivers, and it seems like there's none for Linux, try out 'ndiswrapper'.

It's Linux,
Lunix. (The latter is only used in jokes made by hackers.) I would recommend you use Ubuntu for starters, but you can use Fedora too (based on Redhat), or Mandriva. Most people go with Ubuntu or Fedora though. I don't recommend you choose something like Gentoo or Slackware yet.
BackTrack is based on Ubuntu in case you don't know.
The newest version of Ubuntu will do.
If you want to run it in a Virtual Machine, you can do so easily too, by downloading e.g., VirtualBox or whatever you have or prefer, and then run the ISO in that and install it into the VM (Virtual Machine), just like a normal CD.

January 2012 Member Spotlight – MikeyFromSantee
We are kicking off the New Year by bringing back the popular Gunslinger feature, Monthly Member Spotlight! Every month, we will continue to select a Gunslinger member and have and share a virtual cup of coffee with him/her to find out more about them. Our group is getting bigger by the day (quite literally), so this feature will help get to know each other better.
The January 2012 Member Spotlight features none other than MikeyFromSantee! Here is how our interview went:
GS: Mikey, you have been a member of GS since August 2008. In fact, you signed up with us back before GunslingerGaming.com was a registered domain and we all met up on a freewebs version of the site. How the heck did you ever happen to join the Gunslingers?
MikeyFromSantee: As a fan of the Mario Kart series since the original back on the SNES, I really looked forward to playing Mario Kart Wii with my friends, both past and present. But the reality was that very few of my friends had a Wii or MKW, and the ones that did didn't share the excitement of playing it often like I wanted to. So I searched for a group that was as close to what I was used to in the arcade… people with similar interests 18+ years old that enjoy Mario Kart Wii. And, despite my competitive nature, I needed something that wasn't going to commit me to a constant gaming schedule, because hello, I'm a busy adult nowadays! So I searched around on MarioKartWii.com and found the Gunslingers clan.
GS: You are known for your impressive gaming skills in the Mario Kart franchise. What appeals most to you of the franchise?
MikeyFromSantee: The fact that people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy playing Mario Kart together. Even people who aren't skilled at all still have a legitimate chance of winning any given race, and yet if you are skilled, overall you will still win more races and be recognized as such. Somehow that just seems magical to me that a game can be fun for everyone like that.
GS: Racing is not your only impressive gaming skill. Based on your response to the "Your Crowning Achievement as a Gamer!" thread, you are the first American to ever score a perfect AAA on a Paranoia on in the Dance Dance Revolution arcade. Could you tell us more about your accomplishments in the game and how exactly it came about that you got so darn good?
MikeyFromSantee: I learned how to play DDR at a local nickel arcade. At first, I was really shy, but when I noticed that my marching band skills from high school automatically made me better at it than everyone else at the arcade and I was losing weight fast on it, I started playing it religiously. When DDR Max 2 came out, which was technically supposed to be only in Japan, several arcades in San Diego got it immediately, one of which was the nickel arcade. And when I found out there was an official Internet Ranking… well I like dominating the local arcades' scoreboards, that one's just on a grander scale, right? Long story short, I ended up getting 3rd place overall total ranking and 2nd place overall average ranking on double mode. On a site that is completely in Japanese, comprised of Japan's best players. From there, I just got better and better.
GS: Mario Kart and Dance Dance Revolution is an unlikely combination. Are there any other games that would surprise us that you are or have been absorbed in?
MikeyFromSantee: Well, I was into laser tag for a long time as we have 3 good ones in San Diego County. I became really good at it, too. My member name was "MegaMan.EXE", after the NetNavi character in the Megaman Battle Network series on GBA and DS. But what might be more surprising is despite that, I'm NOT into FPS games at all. It's not really that they aren't fun games and all, but for me they aren't fun because I get motion sick very easily and very quickly playing them, and because of that I can't even play long enough to get used to the controls, let alone actually play competently… or play at all.
GS: What was the very first game you ever owned?
MikeyFromSantee: The very first game I owned? Well, when I got my first system, it was the Atari 2600, and with it I got Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Missile Command, Combat and Wizards of Wor. Loved every one of them.
GS: So, we know MikeyFromSantee the gamer, but not much else. What other interests do you have a passion for in life?
MikeyFromSantee: I love technology and playing music. And nowadays I never have the money for the former or the time for the latter. I currently work 2 jobs and am going to school to earn my Cisco certification and hope to score a job in the area of Networking so I can afford said technology and have time for rockin' out on the alto sax on the side.
GS: The origin of the username, "MikeyFromSantee" is pretty straight forward. Have you lived any place other than Santee, California? Ideally, where would you like to travel later in life?
MikeyFromSantee: I've lived in my old house in Santee since I was 6 years old, but about 6 months ago I moved to an apartment in neighboring El Cajon. "MikeyFromElCajon" doesn't really have that same ring to it though, so I'll keep "MikeyFromSantee", thanks.
I haven't traveled much my entire life. One of my life goals is to visit all 50 states. They say that there's so much to do in San Diego and that's true, but there's so much more everywhere else, too!
GS: What was the last film you watched in a theater?
MikeyFromSantee: Umm… The Muppets. The new one. The one that has a cameo from Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. It's good, go see it.
GS: Not to get too deep (but we will), what is important in life?
MikeyFromSantee: Pursuing your goals and dreams. I meet so many people that so want this and only dream of having that but don't take that first step and act. Your goals and dreams may seem unreachable but you won't really know unless you give it your best! And you know what they say… It's not the destination, it's the journey. Or something like that. Just do it.
GS: What is your favorite drink?
MikeyFromSantee: I don't drink alcohol. I'd have to say Coke Zero. I blame it on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. O_O'
Thank you for taking the time to sit down with us, and, readers, thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about your fellow Gunslingers. See you all in February!

As we turn the calendar to November, it's time to start talking Turkey Day. One of the most often questions I hear is what is the best wine to pair with Thanksgiving food (the traditional kind made up of turkey, gravy, stuffing, potatoes, etc.).
This article from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel does a pretty good job breaking down the options, but one area of the viticultural map missing is the great state of Oregon.
Last year, I chose a Pinot Noir from Erath Winery in Dundee, Oregon. I found it to be an excellent pairing with my meal. Oregon is THE place for Pinot Noir in the U.S., from A to Z, Argyle, and Adelsheim to Willamette Valley Vineyards and all letters of the alphabet in-between. They each offer a great expression of the Pinot Noir grape.
Another choice for a red is Beaujolais, featuring the Gamay grape. The article makes mention of that.
If you prefer a white, Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay would work.
Get ready because the drive to a glutton's favorite holiday is just beginning.

Flyers win streak at 1, but Penguins offer bigger challenge
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Maybe the New York Islanders haven't yet given notice of their usual early spring break. They have even been playing like a team ready to surprise its own tormented fan base once the winter weather breaks around here in late April or so.
But bless their underachieving souls, the Islanders aren't of the level that the Flyers' next opponent is, so a 7-0 victory Monday can't really be called a slump solver, can it?
Certainly, Claude Giroux seems to know the answer.
"We played good defensively and had a lot of chances offensively," he said. "We need more games played like that. All four lines going, everyone's playing well and we're physical.
"We played with attitude tonight," Giroux added. "We brought intensity and played as a team and that's how we have to play for a full 60 minutes."
Since they close this six-game road trip Wednesday night against the Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins, maybe the Flyers should keep repeating that mantra. Much like Giroux presented it in a locker-room speech after an embarrassing loss in Montreal Saturday.
"We needed someone to step up and finally we all started to listen," Matt Read said with a nod to Giroux's call-out. "We all got on the same page. We know now it's do or die. We can't sit back and just wait for something to happen. We have to go out and make things happen ourselves."
They certainly have to think that way against the Penguins (11-5-0, 22 points), who just made huge strides in the standings on the strength of three consecutive victories against Ottawa, Winnipeg and Buffalo.
"I think it's a huge test, but I think we can build off this (Islanders) game for sure," Max Talbot said. "We know (the Penguins) have been playing good and they're on top of the East right now. So for us to go in there and play Flyer hockey, it's going to be huge."
♦ Continued...
While the Flyers finally say they get the necessity of treating every game with desperation amid a 48-game rush of a short season, they certainly weren't playing like it, which of course led to fast speculation of whether head coach Peter Laviolette and/or general manager Paul Holmgren would be made to pay for the way their team was playing.
That prompted top boss Peter Luukko to rip out his vote of confidence script over the weekend, which looked pretty good Monday after a 7-0 victory over the Islanders.
"We have to stay the course," Luukko said. "Patience is the key right here. We've got a good team, we have to work our way into playing all the time like we did today."
Asked about pressure on the people in charge, Luukko said, "I think there's pressure to win every night in this league. Sure, when you get behind in the standings you don't want to be looking up, but you know, there's plenty of time for us."
NOTES: The Flyers have gone six straight games without allowing a power-play goal, blanking the opposition on 21 tries in that time. When that was brought up to premier penalty killer Talbot after the Isles went 0-for-3 yesterday, he promptly offered his thanks and put his fist to a wooden bench for a sharp knock. ... Ilya Bryzgalov celebrated his 400th career game with his 30th career shutout. ... Laviolette's newly constructed top line clicked even before the game started. Read said he and Giroux had a conversation before the game that laid out a succinct plan. "We talked about coming out and winning the first shift," Read said. "It doesn't matter if we score a goal, just get it into their zone and come out and get a couple of hits and get the momentum right away."

The Anniston Star reports that the new arrests bring the total to 13 in the investigation involving a Jacksonville State fraternity.
Some suspects face charges of first-degree assault, which is a felony, and misdemeanor hazing. Others face only hazing charges.
Calhoun County District Attorney Brian McVeigh announced in October that a grand jury had issued indictments stemming from a Nov. 26, 2011, incident involving a JSU fraternity and that more indictments were expected.
The fraternity, JSU's chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, has since been dismissed from campus. A university official has said that the incident was one of the worst hazing cases the school has seen.

School is back in session, and let's be honest: By now, you've probably resorted to packing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day. Don't get me wrong—I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They're the perfect vegetarian food! But packed lunches can become pretty dull. To help you out, here are five easy ways to spruce up the classic PB&J sandwich:
1. Add freshly sliced bananas to your favorite sandwich for an extra layer of flavor and a strong dose of fiber and potassium. Other good options include diced strawberries and halved grapes.
2. Switch up the jelly. If you're used to using grape jelly, switch to strawberry or raspberry. Or even try your hand at making your own homemade blueberry jam!
3. Try using almond butter in place of peanut butter. Not only is it delicious, it also doesn't usually contain any added oils or sugar, which are frequently found in peanut butter.
4. Bake your own fresh, homemade bread. Nothing quite compares to the freshness of a well-made loaf of bread. Try your hand at one of the many easy (and accidentally vegan) bread recipes found online.
5. Bust out the cookie cutters. Make your child's lunch more interesting by cutting up his or her sandwich into fun shapes like hearts, stars, and dinosaurs.
If you're feeling really bold, why not try all five tips at one time? What are your tricks for keeping variety in your lunches and those of your kids? Share with us in the comments section below.

The event, designed to allow the state's business leadership to hobnob with the political leadership, drew about 1,000 statewide to the program where Canada was recognized as Mississippi's largest trading partner.
Gary Doer, Canada's ambassador to the United States, had to cancel his plans to attend the event – held under a large tent at the state's Agriculture Museum – because of travel problems on the East Coast caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Stephen Brereton, consul general of Canada's Consulate in Atlanta, spoke in Doer's stead and said the trading relationship with Mississippi is important to his country and predicted it would only be strengthened in the coming years.
"We would like to see the relationship continue to grow," he said.
Gov. Phil Bryant predicted there would be cooperation in the future on manufacturing efforts between Canada and Mississippi. He cited energy as an area for growth.
Canada already is America's top supplier of energy. But Brereton said Canada also wanted to expand its alternative energy efforts. He cited Quebec-based Enerkem locating a plant in Pontotoc to convert municipal waste to ethanol as a cooperative biofuel effort.
The plant, which took advantage of $130 million in federal funds, will employ more than 70 people in Pontotoc.
Mississippi exports $1.8 billion annually to Canada, including equipment and machinery, vehicles, plastics and rubbers and forest products. More than 60,000 Mississippi jobs depend on exports to Canada.
Mississippi imports $815 million annually from Canada.
"We make things together" Brereton said.
Bryant cited the possibility of a partnership to build ships. He said Canada was in the process of adding ships.
"We are very good at building ships," the governor said.
Canada is the top trading partner with 35 states.

Woodcock's back
13 Mar 2012
Blues prop Tony Woodcock will play his first match since sustaining an injury at the 2011 World Cup.
Woodcock makes his return via the Blues Development side who play the Fiji Warriors at Pakuranga on Tuesday. It is welcome news given the Blues' ever-growing injury list, the most notable name on there being loose forward Jerome Kaino.
Woodcock is expected to be drafted back into the first team upon their return from their tour of South Africa, which concludes with a match against the Stormers on Friday.
'You can tell by his attitude that he can't wait to get out there and get some game time. It's also a great opportunity for the younger guys to play with someone of his experience,' Blues Development coach Jeff Wilson said.
Meanwhile, Development squad member Francis Saili has been called into the Blues squad in Cape Town as cover for the suspended Rene Ranger.

Robin's Jean headquarters was named "Most Creative Fashion Headquarters 2012" by WeAr Magazine.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
Representatives for Robin's Jean announced today that its headquarters have been named the "Most Creative Fashion Headquarters 2012" by WeAr Magazine.
WeAr writer Klaus Vogel said: "CEO and founder Robin Chretien has created a unique work and brand environment. This HQ has it all: a museum, a factory, offices and a lifestyle building. Each of the components compliments the others and reflects the identity of the brand. Chretien's collection of motorcycles, neon signs, old advertisements, cars and other collectibles give this space its very special touch. Each piece tells a story. All combined, it creates a setting that is a pleasure to work in and visit. It reflects the core part of our business-the necessity for the real soul."
"Success in fashion requires the ability to present to customers a lifestyle, an entire world. Robin's Jean is a prime example, without investing millions of dollars, it still exudes a super-cool spirit and tells the brand's unique story," Vogel continues.
Robin's Jean feature a unique collection of jeans, jackets, tops, hats and belts for men and women. Represented by the gold wings logo, Robin's Jean captures Robin's childhood dream of freedom and flight. Robin arrived in Los Angeles in 1996. His skills combined with talent, caught the eye of the best denim companies in LA. In 2005, he decided to incorporate his passions for designing clothes, riding motorcycles and vintage cars with his fascination of the American Indians and the spirit that embodied warriors and their fight for freedom to create his own line, Robin's Jean. Today, Robin designs all his looks in the United States, and his unique pieces truly embody his love for freedom of the open road and the big sky.

Your order will be fulfilled by Winetasting.com.
This vendor is located at 578 Gateway Drive, Napa, CA 94558
With its yellow, straw-like color, the Moscato boasts typical varietal aromas -- notes of white flowers, peach and apricot and its hallmark "muskiness". Characteristically, the taste is irresistibly fruity and sweet and contains typically less alcohol than the standard 12-14% present in most wines. It qualifies as an effervescent "frizzante", as it is not fully sparkling, but a bubbly nonetheless. Serve chilled like Champagne in a tall narrow glass.
Gold, 2010 World Wine Championships:
"Pale silvery straw color. Ripe honeyed apricot, peony, and waxy yellow plum aromas follow through on a crisp entry to a sweet light-to-medium with refreshing frizzante and excellent depth of flavor. Finishes with tangy green apple, peach skin and chalk nuances on the lively ending. Very stylish, clean, and balanced." (6/14/2010)

DescriptionThe Keystone State is home to a variety of cragging, whatever your style. But it's the bouldering on diabase, gritstone and sandstone that are world class. While the diabase areas are well documented (mainly because they are in the eastern part of the state where all the people are) - the gritstone bouldering in western PA is somewhat unknown and OUT OF THIS WORLD! Think Coopers Rock is a good gritstone area? There are at least 3 gritstone areas in PA that beat Coopers in terms of concentration, number of problems and quality of climbs. One area near Johnstown is more concentrated than the Happy Boulders with far better rock. Haven't climbed on gritstone? Well there is a reason it's called "God's own rock." Climb a bunch on gritstone and it will ruin you for all other rock types. Yosemite granite? Piece of crap. The unreal friction for your feet and hands and beautiful classic shapes on gritstone yield the most amazing fun (or frustrating) sequences you will ever climb on rock. PA probably has more gritstone than bloody England. Why doesn't anyone know about it? Well no one lives in west central PA and for the lucky few of us who have discovered this stuff we've been too busy putting up climbs and finding new gems to bother documenting.
