About MeHey everyone,
So I'm really new to the whole modelling thing. I am really looking to expand my portfolio. I'm open to trying just about anything. Modelling is something that interests me.
I have three tattoos. A Jirachi and Togepi on either side of my belly button and the Norwegian tree of life in between my shoulder blades. My ears are stretched, but not very large. They are currently at 7/16 an inch.
My goal is to become an alternative model.
I bring an escort to all shoots.

9.3 / 10 based on 8 reviews.
Of the 8 people who reviewed this product 100% would recommend it.
Pros: Compact external size for such a good internal capacity. Very well made. Overall, a very nice design at a good price. Cons: Lock is stiff to operate - but I can envisage the difficulty of linking the key-turn to the movement of all those door bolts.
Probably the best security generally available, but even double-bitted locks are not immune to picking by a skilled operator; a lock with an innovative, unadvertised mechanism would be highly desirable, but admittedly, perhaps difficult to source.
Pros: Built to the latest BS specifications and tested for 'breaking in' resistance. A very smart, clean appearance needing no additional work on my part.
Thank you.
Simon Ruddy
Cons: A couple of minor marks (dents) on two of the four cabinets on arrival, label damage.
Biggest problem was mounting the cabinets, you need a paper template with each cabinet you can offer the template up to the wall for drilling. Maybe you could also mark up some extra mounting holes as an option for more than 4 points to use.
Please advise on the idea's.
Thank you

A Place in the Sun
The Las Vegas and Phoenix regions hold valuable lessons for any real estate manager -- and for companies that don't think they need one.By Claire Pamplin
Real estate is easily the most valuable asset many companies hold. Stiff competition from other convenience store retailers, not to mention other channels of trade such as chain drugstores means that real estate is often scarce and getting scarcer, particularly in fast-growing markets such as the Las Vegas and Phoenix areas.
Las Vegas is touted as the fastest-growing city in the United States. The Phoenix area holds a different number-one position: Maricopa County grew, between 1990 and 2000, by more in absolute numbers than any other county, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It is the fourth-largest county in the country.
Katherine Hutton Raby, economic development manager for the City of Scottsdale, in Maricopa Co., adjacent to Phoenix, explained that everything from the size and color of the building, the signage, the landscaping and even marketing materials on gasoline dispensers is controlled by Scottsdale law.
The guidelines are very specific and strict, and have given more than one c-store operator a good headache. For example, Scottsdale operators are told "buildings that derive their image solely from applied treatments that express corporate identity are discouraged." Other details in Scottsdale's guidelines that without doubt make the city beautiful but raise construction costs for c-store operators: "Building accents should be expressed through differing materials and/or architectural detailing and not through applied finishes such as paint."
Never a Discouraging Word?
Enterprising businesspeople can't be blamed for imagining that land is limitless in places like Arizona and Nevada. Well, there's land, lots of land, and sunny skies above, but it's fenced in — sort of. Much of the open land around Las Vegas belongs to good old Uncle Sam, and is "fenced in" by national forest and Bureau of Land Management boundary lines — strictly off limits to development.
"Las Vegas is rapidly running out of developable land," said Rick Crawford, CEO of Midjit Market Inc. operator of 24 Green Valley Grocery c-stores. "We have seen the advent of master plan communities, which is both good and bad news for everyone. Also there are limits on other commercial opportunities. Pretty much the whole county has been under a master plan."
Crawford has resided in Las Vegas since 1971, and he founded his c-store chain in 1978, and therefore has had the opportunity to witness the mind-boggling growth of the region. Like almost anywhere, though, there is "great competition for quality corners," he said. But Sin City is still restrictive compared to Texas, he said, where the wide-open spaces are still wide open to commercial development.
In Vegas, Crawford said, land is being gobbled up by developers such as Del Webb and Howard Hughes Corp., and the City of North Las Vegas has a 7,500-acre development in progress now.
Las Vegas touts itself as the most business-friendly place in the country: no state income, inheritance, gift, or estate, franchise, inventory or corporate taxes are levied. But for c-store operators, challenges common elsewhere also hold true there. Crawford said, "Over the last three or four years, drugstore chains have invested in prime corners. CVS and Walgreen's, Longs, Sav-on — they have driven up price of land. They are essentially large convenience stores, 10,000 to15,000 square feet. They pay top dollar, $30 to $35 per square foot of land. This is a big retirement area, with lots of elderly people, so drugstores are numerous."
While Las Vegas, with its huge casinos and their dazzingly brilliant signs, not to mention their scantily-clad dancers, might seem to be a place where anything goes, Crawford said, "Surprisingly enough Las Vegas and the surrounding cities located here in southern Nevada are very big into zoning requirements, and the requirements and zoning laws become tougher each year as we run low on land."
Operators would be wise to remember the state is Nevada, not Nirvana. Stores close there for the same reasons they do elsewhere. Crawford observed that recent closures included "most of the Turtle Stops and a bunch of one- and two-store operators. Those stores that have closed, or are having difficulty, seem to have the same problems that people have in other areas — paying too much for land and development, being the second or third store on a corner, poor location, excessive competition and just good old-fashioned bad management. So Nevada is no different then any other area of the country. You need location, location, location and also must be able to execute a sound business plan."
In Charge
As complex as managing real estate can be, at many companies there is no one whose sole duty is to search for, buy and protect it. Often that job falls onto the already full plate of the CEO or other senior person.
However, c-store veteran Ed Davidson of E.R. Davidson and Associates, Gainesville, Va., observed that "independents like Sheetz and Wawa who are still very much in growth mode keep a full staff of field real-estate managers. Certain other independents like EnMark in Georgia have someone at the helm in real estate but not a big staff. Jobbers and smaller independents seem to be without formal real-estate managers or departments, and in many cases the CEO is the real-estate manager since it's a task they feel important for them to handle."
Real-estate managers have to keep track of plans for road and highway changes at each site owned by their company — or any they are considering purchasing — as well as a host of other factors, including adhering to very strict local ordinances if the c-stores are to operate in cities such as Phoenix, Scottsdale or Las Vegas.
"All the cities in the Phoenix area are getting very difficult," said Judi Butterworth, first vice president, CB Richard Ellis, the largest commercial real-estate company in the world. "In fact, the city of Chandler, Ariz., in most instances won't even allow you to put a gas station on the corner anymore. They want a minimum of 10,000 square feet on a corner. That's more likely to be a drugstore than a convenience store."
Butterworth emphasized the importance of c-store companies having a dedicated real estate manager. "I think it's supremely important for a couple of reasons: Because of the competitiveness of the market in buying corners, you have to have someone who can react quickly, someone who can say, 'Yes, we want to be there, let's make an offer.' That person absolutely has to have in-depth knowledge of the market, which you can get only get by driving around a lot and studying the area.
"It's not just a matter of picking a site where you can make money; the first thing you have to do is be able to acquire it," she said. "You can't sit on your hands. Several banks here are expanding again, plus some fast-food outlets. And for all of them, it's all competition for corners."

OCA's Executive Director, George Wu, insists the group will not back down unless Miley Cyrus issues another apology, a "fuller" one, concerning her "goofy picture".
Asian-American group OCA, which accuses Miley Cyrus to have offended the Asians as she's been photographed making slanty-eyed face, is blaming the teen star for not issuing "fuller apology" when she recently addressed the controversy. "It's not a real apology. We're not backing down," George Wu, Executive Director of the OCA is quoted as telling Celebuzz.
Wu further claims, "The picture is offensive and now this statement is inadequate," when referring to Miley's response which she wrote in a blog on her MileyWorld on Thursday, February 5. Miley herself has not yet commented on Wu's statement.
Earlier this week, a picture showing Miley Cyrus and some of her friends pull their eyelids back to look like Asians while one Asian-American male sits among them hit the web. Soon thereafter OCA issued a statement, calling the pic displays "an offensive, stereotypical gesture" and so demanded an apology from Miley.
Insisting she and her friends weren't purposely "making fun of any ethnicity!", Miley wrote on her MileyWorld blog, "There are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, Im sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!"
"I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'!" she complained.

Rumour has it that a number of gay men in Wellington are letting their bodies become slightly more natural in preparation for the upcoming Urge:Black men's party later this month.
The organisers of the event are Urge Bar from Auckland, notorious for its bear culture of body hair, bellies, and moustaches. This has sent a few gay men that we know of in Wellington into a flutter: they've given themselves a few weeks to let their body hair run rife!
Tickets to the event, which will be held at Emperor's Bathhouse, are selling well and the organisers are expecting a huge crowd.
We'll be there, but we're not sure if we'll be sporting moustaches just yet!

Falling Skies Scoop: Meet 'Red-Eye,' the Most Mysterious Skitter06/23/2012
Falling Skies Scoop: Meet 'Red-Eye,' the Most Mysterious Skitter of Them All-TVLine
Here's an article by TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich, which gives a preview of this Sunday's episode, episode 2×03 "Compass" with scoop directly from showrunner Remi Aubuchon. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some scoop on the role that Red-Eye will play in the show throughout the rest of the season:
Early into the season opener, Red-Eye positively owned Tom Mason when the Overlord's argumentative captive grabbed the alien's electro-prod and tried to make a break for it. Later, when Tom and others were dispatched from the spacecraft, the distinctive Skitter lorded over a Mech's machine gun-style execution of the freed humans – save, conspicuously, for the 2nd Mass' XO.
Given all of the above – and factoring in an especially curious bit of behavior exhibited by Red-Eye this coming Sunday – you'd be well advised to keep your eye on the VIP ET.
"Red-Eye will be a very integral part of the storytelling this season," showrunner Remi Aubuchon tells TVLine. "What his involvement is and who he is will remain a mystery for quite some time, and we'll never be quite sure of him. But as we saw, he is following [the 2nd Mass] for some reason."
As for this Skitter's ocular calling card, Aubuchon explains, "One of the problems we had is that all of the Skitters look alike, so we needed to create one that we could track and understand that, when he showed up, there was something special about him."
So as Red-Eye continues to accost certain individuals but spare (and perhaps communicate with?) others, viewers will recall his earlier actions on the ship and during the mass execution, and "everything will hopefully start to make sense," Aubuchon says.
And make no mistake, it will all weave together as the Falling Skies saga unspools.
"Look, I'm a science fiction nerd and proud of it," says Aubuchon, whose past credits include Caprica, SGU and From the Earth to the Moon. "And one of the things that I always love is to be able to go back and see that somehow the writer salted in little things that are clues that end up making some sort of sense. I always hate it when they just drop something on you, so we wanted to make sure that Red-Eye is tracked right from the very start."

Anodes for the tankhouse were provided by an onsite casting plant. Initially, the casting plant treated blister and purchased scrap but in latter years the charge was scrap only. A Southwire CCR plant and wire drawing facilities are located on the same site. In 1997 the refinery was closed down due to a shortage of scrap feed.

IntroductionLinux Mint 17.1 is the latest version of Linux Mint and has been available for a few months now.
The title of this article is "Linux Mint 17.1 Is As Good As It Gets" and as far as computing goes on a traditional laptop with a traditional style user interface this is definitely true.
I first tried Linux Mint at version 12 and it was fine enough but the Linux Mint developers have been perfecting this distribution for a number of years and now it is flourishing.
This review is going to look at all of the features of Linux Mint that the average user might be interested in as well as the new features that have been added for 17.1.
How To Get Linux Mint 17.1
Click here to visit the Linux Mint download page.
There are various options available including the choice of 4 different desktop environments (Cinnamon, MATE, KDE and XFCE), codecs or no codecs and 32-bit or 64-bit.
If you have a computer with decent specifications (i.e. your current computer comfortably handles Windows 7 at the moment) then choose the Cinnamon desktop environment or KDE.
If your computer isn't so powerful try out the MATE or XFCE editions. There isn't much to split them in terms of applications. MATE and XFCE are both highly customisable and lightweight.
Generally you will want to choose the version with codecs as opposed to no codecs as this will enable Flash and MP3s to play.
Finally choose 32-bit if you have a 32-bit computer or 64-bit for a 64-bit computer. (Click here if you need a guide for that).
The file size of the downloaded ISO file is 1.4 gigabytes and you will need either a blank DVD or USB drive to be able to try out and install Linux Mint.
If you don't have the ability to create a DVD or USB drive, you can always try Linux Mint out as a virtual machine.
To create a DVD from the ISO use your favourite disk burning tool or click here to create a bootable Linux Mint USB drive.
If all of this seems too complicated you can always buy a Linux Mint DVD or USB drive.
For this review I will be looking at the Cinnamon desktop as it is the flagship version of Linux Mint (and what a triumph it is).
Installing Linux MintInstalling Linux Mint is incredibly easy and is probably the best example of an installer that Linux has to offer.
Here are some guides that I have written to help you.
- How to replace Windows 7 with Linux Mint (without losing recovery and data partitions)
- How to install Linux Mint as a virtual machine
- How to dual boot Linux Mint and Windows 7
- How to dual boot Linux Mint on a MacBook Air
- How to dual boot Linux Mint and Windows 8.1 (NEW)
First Impressions
Yes I know that this is just eye candy but it is the small things that perfect a product.
After logging in you are presented with a welcome screen with options to see the new features, important information, user guide, access to the IRC chat rooms, forums and tutorials.
The welcome screen also has icons for restoring data and for accessing the software manager.
Finally there are icons for getting involved and donating to Linux Mint.
The help utility is really useful with guides for installing Linux Mint, installing software, navigating using the menu and useful tips and tricks.
For example to copy and paste in Linux Mint you can copy with the left mouse button and paste with the middle button. On a laptop this can be achieved by copying with the left mouse button and then clicking both buttons to paste.
To be honest the tips and tricks could do with a bit more padding because there are really just two tricks.
Spoiler alert!!!!
The other trick is to use Tomboy Notes for taking notes instead of LibreOffice Writer.
The Welcome Screen can be turned off by unchecking the box in the bottom corner.
The search box can be used to search for an application.
There is just a single panel at the bottom of the screen (which is standard for all Linux Mint versions).
The menu icon is in the bottom left and is closely followed by icons which enable you to show the desktop, launch FireFox, open a terminal and open the file manager.
The bottom right corner has icons for user settings, removable drives, bluetooth settings, network settings, audio settings, power settings, notifications, the clock and view all windows.
Connecting To The Internet
Connecting to the internet is as easy as clicking on the network settings icon on the panel and choosing the network you wish to connect to.
If the network you are connecting to requires a password then you will need to provide one.
Flash And MP3
However, the browser that Linux Mint ships with is FireFox and the Flash player is therefore out of date and you get this annoying message every time you visit a new site which has Flash.
You only have to choose to allow Flash to work once and it will remember it for next time (unless you tell it not to) but it is a bit annoying.
Now everybody retweet after me:
"Say NO to Flash" or "Die Flash Die"The European Union decided that everyone in Europe needed to know when a website is using cookies to store information and so every time you visit a new site it inevitably tells you that the site uses cookies and you have to click accept to get the message to go away.
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment it is incredibly annoying because pretty much every site uses cookies.
MP3 audio can also be played instantly without installing any other codecs.
ApplicationsLinux Mint has all the applications that the average user needs to get started.
As mentioned in the previous section Linux Mint has the FireFox web browser (version 33). The latest version is 35.
Thunderbird is the default email client and Pidgin is included as a messenging client.
HexChat is available for IRC chat and Transmission enables you to download bittorrents.
For image editing there is the GIMP which is a really powerful tool along the lines of Photoshop.
If you just want to view your photos there is an application called gThumb or to view a single image there is an image viewer.
For productivity, Linux Mint includes the full LibreOffice suite which includes Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheet), Impress (presentations) and Draw (think Visio).
The version of LibreOffice included is 126.96.36.199. The latest version of LibreOffice is 4.4.
If you like listening to music whilst you work there is Banshee. You can import music, create playlists and do all the sorts of things you normally do with an audio player.
Banshee is compatible with external devices and apparently works with iPods but I don't have an iPod to be able to test this for sure. It does work with my Sony Walkman, Samsung Galaxy phone and a Creative Zen Micro.
You can also integrate your Last.fm account with Banshee.
Finally there is the internet archive which lets you watch old movies and trailers, listen to music and speeches.
Linux Mint includes Minitube which is a desktop application version of Youtube. Brasero is also included for creating DVDs.
Installing Applications
You can either browse the different categories or use the search box in the top right corner to find what you are looking for.
Each item comes with a description, file size, list of dependencies, a rating and a list of comments regarding the package.

SummaryLinux Mint is great if you are a traditionalist and you like the way things have pretty much always been.
Nice little touches are built upon again and again and the improvements are steady but not spectacular.
Linux Mint is just a really good, stable and solid Linux distribution and it is obvious why it is so popular.
Questions that are often asked on Reddit include:
- Which Linux distribution should I use for developing software
- Which Linux distribution should I use for gaming
- Which Linux distribution is best for newbies
- Which Linux distribution can I use on my old computer
- Which Linux distribution is good for students
- Which Linux distribution would be good for my parents
- Which Linux distribution is good for children
There is a myth that surrounds Linux Mint (and Ubuntu) that suggests they are only used by people that don't really know Linux that well and once people know what they are doing they should move to something more serious.
This sort of thinking seems frankly nonsensical. Making life easier for yourself by pointing and clicking shouldn't be seen as a bad thing.
I wrote an article last week comparing Linux Mint 17 with Windows 8.1 as a resource for Windows 7 users to refer to when deciding whether to upgrade Windows or switch to Linux.
On this evidence there are an plenties of reasons to choose Linux Mint.
Thankyou for reading.

Hotellet var Bed and Breakfast koncept, men alligevel helt ugenert med egen indgang. Det var et stort hit, at morgenmaden blev serveret ved, at der blev placeret en kurv med frisk brød, skinke og ost, dug og servietter uden for døren til den tid, vi havde bestilt. Resten af det nødvendige var på værelset. Der var tænkt over alle detaljer. Vi havde et super ophold. Nej.

The expectation for the U.S. economy's growth prospects for the year ahead continues to improve.
More than 70 percent now forecast gross domestic product (GDP) to advance at a pace of more than 2 percent over the next four quarters, up from the 65 percent in the April survey and the 50 percent in January.
The latest figure is nearly double what respondents reported in October.
Still, the majority view, held by 70 percent of respondents, remains that the economy will advance at a restrained pace of between 2 and 3 percent.
The first six months of the year have been fraught with concern about the effects of tax increases and across-the-board spending cuts on growth.
But the effects have been less than expected and 74 percent of panelists indicated no negative impact on their firms' sales from tax increases or sequestration in the last three months, down from the 79 percent that reported no impact in the April survey.
But 26 percent reported a negative impact, up from 16 percent in April.
While tax increases and spending cuts appear to have had less impact on firms' employment and capital spending decisions than on their sales, the prevalence of any negative impact has nevertheless grown since April. Nearly nine out of 10 panelists — 89 percent — reported no impact on their firms' payroll in the second quarter of 2013, but that is a decline from the 93 percent in the April survey.
The report also showed:
• Top concerns are the state of the global economy (29 percent), the regulatory environment (20 percent) and further government spending cuts and rising interest rates (both at 14 percent).
• The greatest concern over the next 12 months — 32 percent said global economic conditions, rising interest rates (17 percent), the regulatory environment (14 percent) and further government spending cuts (11 percent).
• Sales slowed with as about 35 percent reported rising sales at their firms, down from 55 percent in April and only slightly below percentages seen the three previous quarters. Meanwhile, 15 percent of panelists reported falling sales, up from 9 percent in the previous survey but equal to the share reported in January.
• Profit margins eroded as the percentage of panelists reporting rising margins dropped to 21 percent in July from 29 percent in April.

Second Trailer for Sony's 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' Animated Reboot
"We all know the place: the magic mushroom houses, the tiny white pants…" Sony Pictures has debuted a brand new full-length trailer for their CGI animated reboot of The Smurfs movie, titled Smurfs: The Lost Village. The first teaser trailer didn't show much, this trailer gives us a better glimpse at the story - which seems to involve finding more Smurfs elsewhere, including maybe even more girls. As expected, a few of the Smurfs go out on an adventure to find this "lost village" before Gargamel does. Smurfs: The Lost Village features the voices of Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf, Rainn Wilson as Gargamel, Joe Manganiello as Hefty, Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Jack McBrayer as Clumsy, + Danny Pudi as Brainy. This looks fun.
Here's the second trailer (+ international) for Kelly Asbury's Smurfs: The Lost Village, from YouTube:
A mysterious map sets Smurfette and her best friends Brainy, Clumsy and Hefty on an exciting and thrilling race through the Forbidden Forest filled with magical creatures to find a mysterious lost village before the evil wizard Gargamel does. Embarking on a rollercoaster journey full of action and danger, the Smurfs are on a course that leads to the discovery of the biggest secret in Smurf history! Smurfs: The Lost Village is directed by animation filmmaker Kelly Asbury, of Gnomeo & Juliet, Shrek 2 and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron previously. The screenplay is written by Stacey Harman, based on the characters created by Peyo. Other writers include Karey Kirkpatrick, Chris Poche, Pamela Ribon, Jay Scherick. Sony will release Smurfs: The Lost Village in theaters in 3D starting April 7th, 2017 next spring, just before the summer.

A nice hotel a 5 minute walk out of town. The bathrooms are lovely and the rooms are completely wooden which can be quite dark.
The hotel serves a reasonable breakfast but this is not included in the price.
The outside was ok but the 'pool' was not one you could swim in as it is surrounded by rocks. It's more of a rock pool.
The hammocks were lovely in the afternoons and the waterfall is right opposite which is very convenient.
Ok but nothing to write home about.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Extract of sample
Metaphor in Korean and Arab Culture
The modern theory of cognitive metaphor is developed in the works of many scholars, in accordance with which, "metaphor is an instrument of cognition, structuring and explanation of reality" (Lakoff, 1993, p. 217). Following J. Lakoff, we agree that "metaphor is located in thought and not in the language". Metaphor is a source for something new and interesting. There is a certain cultural background in different metaphors because they reflect specific needs of target audience and key issues of life of different nations turn into the sources for further metaphorical derivates. For example, metaphors in American English are often associated with sports because active way of life has been always highly estimated among the Americans (Deignan, Gabrys, & Solska, 1997). Food metaphor is more appropriate for Chinese English because the nation is highly concerned about meals. Thus, family dinners on weekends symbolize unity and dominance of family. Sometimes, metaphors interpretations are similar or different. Thus, Chinese use sports metaphors and Americans use metaphors about food and the meaning of them would be the same. ...

So nice, they'll run it twice
CALGARY, Alberta - A $20,300 optional claiming sprint attracted 18 entrants here Thursday morning, and racing secretary Barry McGrath's decision to split the race provides a pair of dandy co-features Sunday afternoon.
The races, which go as the sixth and seventh on the program, will showcase many of the best upper-level claimers and allowance horses on the grounds.
Derby Duke, a winner of his seasonal debut here opening weekend, and Turbo Charger, a hard-knocking 8-year-old, head the first division.
Derby Duke, a 6-year-old gelding, drew the rail, and Richard Hamel will attempt to duplicate the front-running strategy that proved successful with Derby Duke in a half-mile dash April 5.
Turbo Charger comes into his 2003 debut off a strong series of works for the high-percentage barn of Floyd Arthur. Turbo Charger won his opener in a similar race here last April, and capped his season by winning the Alberta Breeders Handicap at Northlands Park in late September.
Although a mile is his best distance, Turbo Charger's tactical speed will allow his jockey, Stephan Heiler, to gain a stalking position with him in a field not overloaded with early speed.
There will be plenty of speed in the seventh race, in which Timely Ruckus, Alberta's champion sprinter four times, faces the rapid Fussy's Kid, Robnroy, and Intore.
In his opener, Timely Ruckus broke a step slowly and finished fourth after mounting a three-wide rally. He begins from post 4 with leading rider Dave Wilson retaining the mount.

should I be concerned about using the Windows Server 2008 R2 (Experimental) option if i create a new VM on my ESXi box? Should i not use that VM for production? Thoughts? I attached a screen shot of what i'm looking at...

IMHO - when VMware tells US it's experimental they feel pretty good about it. Test it. If it works for awhile (your mileage may vary), then use it.
Jun 10, 2011 at 1:53 UTC
You may want to patch your ESXi server(s) up to 4.1. Windows 2008 R2 is fully supported on 4.1.
I wouldn't use anything classed as Experimental for full production use/.
Jun 10, 2011 at 1:56 UTC
@Vance - +1 - ditto on the update.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
You may want to patch your ESXi server(s) up to 4.1. Windows 2008 R2 is fully supported on 4.1.
I wouldn't use anything classed as Experimental for full production use/.
Or anything unpatched for that matter.
Jun 10, 2011 at 2:40 UTC
I successfully ran with the "experimental option" for 3-4 months without problems, before I went to 4.1.
The only problem that I did notice was when trying to access the console window for that server from within vSphere, when using WDDM video driver. It would regularly lock up, crashing vSphere (just the interface).
If you do it, before updating to 4.1, get remote desktop turned on as soon as possible, and then alternatively replace the WDDM video driver.
Jun 10, 2011 at 2:55 UTC
We used the experimental option for a while on ESX and ESXi 4.0. But, I would always keep your ESX installations up to date.
As KenHoopes said, there's an issue with the video driver when using VMTools on Server 2008/2008 R2. It's extremely slow and choppy. There are a few KB articles on the VMWare website which state how to replace the video driver on Server 2008 & Server 2008 R2.
Jun 13, 2011 at 6:20 UTC
I think they put the "experimental" tag on things that they've tested but aren't ready to support 100% yet. Like others mentioned - give it a try and see how it goes.
Jun 13, 2011 at 8:03 UTC
so, i downloaded the zip files for the 4.1 upgrade from 4.0. there's a video on vmware's site to update frmo 3.5 to 4.0 and it claims that it's the same procedure for 4.0 to 4.1. But, when i try to find the said 'update manager' tab in the vsphere client iti doesn't exist. What am i missing here?
Jun 13, 2011 at 8:54 UTC
Provide a link to the video please.
Jun 13, 2011 at 9:56 UTC
I'm pretty sure the Update Manager is a separate installer.
Jun 13, 2011 at 10:03 UTC
The easiest way to get it is to go into the Plug-Ins manager in vSphere to install it.

Many people have piles of books and magazines they won't be reading any more, but don't want to throw away. One alternative to allowing reading material to take up space in your home is to donate them to a charity or other organization. You can free up space and help a good cause at the same time.
Separate the books from the magazines by placing them in two different piles.
Organize the books and magazines alphabetically to keep track of what you have.
Pack the books and magazines into boxes. Label the boxes to indicate their contents.
Choose a Charity
Contact a donation center, such as Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Stores such as these are always looking for donations. You can drop the books and magazines off at the store for a tax rebate. Ask for a charitable donation tax receipt when you drop off the items.
Donate books and magazines to your local library. Libraries are always in need of books, and your contribution can help expand the library's selection. Contact your library for specific information on donating books. If the library cannot use the books, a "friends of the library" association may accept your donation.
Find a charity in your phone book, then contact them to see if they need any books or magazines donated. Some charities may even pick up your donated items, eliminating the need for you to drop them off.
Tips & Warnings
- You can list any book or magazine you donate as a tax deduction. Get a receipt or other form of documentation from the charity you donate to.
- Some charities may not accept magazines.
- Other charities may have regulations on what books and magazines are considered acceptable for them.

Older Persons and Cancer and Palliative Care
These four research areas offer opportunities for postgraduate studies to be undertaken as well as research training for early career researchers in quantitative and qualitative methods.
Lead Researcher: Professor Samar Aoun
Family caregiving research in end of life care
The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) encompasses the physical, psychological, social, practical, financial and spiritual support needs that government policies emphasize should be assessed and addressed. A series of CSNAT studies is investigating the extent to which the CSNAT used in home based care improves the family carer's perceived support, physical and psychological health, carer strain, carer distress and bereavement outcomes. Industry partners are: Silver Chain Hospice Care (family carers of cancer patients at home); Motor Neurone Disease Associations (for MND family carers at home); Juniper (for Dementia family carers in the community); St John of God palliative care unit (for family carers support post discharge). International research partners are from Manchester University and Cambridge University in the UK, and University of Victoria in Canada.
Support needs of people with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and their family carers
Educational and psychological and supportive interventions have been or are currently been trialled for this under-served population group: A palliative care educational program for health professionals working with people with MND and their family carers; Dignity Therapy which is a psychotherapeutic intervention for MND patients and their family carers; Working with neurologists in Australia and patients and family carers on developing best practice guidelines on breaking bad news in MND. Industry partners: MND Associations in Australia. National research partners: Monash University and Swinburne University in Victoria. International research partners: University of Manitoba, Canada and University of Kent, UK.
Support needs of terminally ill people who live alone at home
There are growing challenges facing home-based palliative care services in supporting the increasing number of people living alone who require care. Our studies are examining the effectiveness of suitable models of care in order to provide directions for service planning for this growing and challenging population group. Studies will ascertain key areas that need to be addressed by service providers to assist people who live alone maintain optimal quality of life and receive palliative symptom management and terminal care in their place of choice. Industry partner: Silver Chain Hospice Care.
Development of an evidence based bereavement model of care
A public health approach to developing bereavement services in palliative care offers the foundation for determining the types of bereavement supports that need to be provided to carers and families, depending on their needs and risk factors. The identification of unmet needs and the ability to make recommendations for service provision based on the level of need in the bereaved population will guide health and community services in their resource allocation. Industry partners: funeral providers and palliative care services. National research partner: La Trobe University, Victoria.

"I was treated with dignity and was included in all decisions. "
About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Aberdeen AB25 2ZN NHS Orkney NHS Orkney NHS Shetland NHS Shetland Raigmore Hospital / Gynaecology Raigmore Hospital Gynaecology IV2 3UJ
Posted by Nifty159 (as ),
I was recently operated in for the removal of a large cyst and a hysterectomy. The operation took place at Raigmore in inverness.
My first indication that something might be a miss was bleeding following my Tamoxifen. I was scanned in Orkney then in Shetland and was impressed by the way in which this was handled, with medical staff who explained what was happening at every stage in the process.
As I have to avoid having anything put into my arms, following a bilateral mastectomy I had to have needles inserted into my foot, not an easy option. At no point did any of the folk dealing with me make me feel as if I was being a nuisance.
I saw the surgeon in Inverness and had a minor operation on Christmas eve to determine what might have caused the bleeding and whether there was any sign of cancer again. Both before and after the operation I had everything explained and went home with a discharge letter, which I could read and share with my doctor.
I was given the results of the scan and the operation, along with the decision to operate, within four weeks. I was impressed at the speed of which I was informed, given that it had been the christmas and new year period and the time it can take to get the results from an Aberdeen hospital.
I was given a definite date in late February with the provision that it could be earlier if there was a cancellation and I was able to take advantage of it. This was the case and I was able to have my operation in early February. At every stage of this experience in Inverness, I was treated with dignity and was included in all decisions. Because of my previous history I agreed wholeheartedly with the surgeons that I could have a hysterectomy when the cyst was being removed. I left the hospital several days later to fly home and again the airport was made aware that I should get preference when boarding. All staff at the airport were very helpful and made the trip home easier than it might have been.
Again I had a discharge letter which I discussed with my very helpful and supportive doctor. I feel that the reason I am recovering so quickly is because of the very good treatment at Raigmore and the support of my local doctor in allowing me to go to this hospital. Some very unfortunate experiences in ARI over the years (especially in regard to my cancer treatment) have made me feel devalued, unsafe and adamant that I will not go to this hospital again.
I would also like to note that Inverness was very clean, unlike the last ward in Aberdeen.
Finally I have just been told after 2 weeks my operattion that their is no sign of cancer with my surgeon taking the time to phone me and let me know. I could not better the treatment I had.
Response from Linda Oldroyd, Nurse Consultant, Person Centred Care, NHS Grampian 4 years ago
It is good to hear of your positive experiences of care at Raigmore, but disappointing that you found care in Grampian to be below the standard all patients deserve.
We would like to assure all patients and carers that safety and cleanliness issues are taken very seriously by NHS Grampian and that we value all patients and staff for their contribution to the health and well being of our population. We hope that any future experiences you might have in Grampian are both safe and of high quality.
Thank you for taking the time to post this feedback.

Response from Julie Tait, Patient Experience Officer, NHS Orkney 4 years ago
Dear Nifty159
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of the healthcare services in Orkney, Shetland, Raigmore and Aberdeen with us.
We are very glad to hear that you have such a good relationship with your GP here in Orkney and that you found the care you received in the hospital to be of a good standard.
It is always difficult for Orkney residents to travel to other hospitals for care and treatment when they are unwell and we would like to thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback.
Finally, I would like to wish you a continued good recovery and am very pleased to hear that you recieved good news following your operation.
Kind regards

Response from Maimie Thompson, Head of Public Relations and Engagement, Chief Executive's Office, NHS Highland 4 years ago
Dear Nifty159
I have only just had sight of your posting - we only get automatic alerts for residents of Highlands but of course we treat and look after lots of other people. You have had quite a time of it and so its reassuring to get feed-back that when you have need our services and teams to be at their best they have not let you down. Time and time again the issue of dignity and respect and feeling that people really do care about you rise to the top as being so important. And this even more in the case with cancer - it must be such a huge relief to have it confirmed that there is no sign of cancer.
I have just responded to another response in Patient Opinion where the opinion was that Raigmore was the "shabbiest hospital in the country". I am glad that was not your opinion. The hospital actually had a very good recent Inspection Report but also - people provide care and compassion. Standards of buildings can make that harder but its the people that can make a real difference. We try hard to get all elements right but we can always improve and feed-back always helps.
Thank you

It's hard to imagine a more exotic flower than the tall bird of paradise, sometimes called the crane plant. The flower does, in fact, resemble a water bird. It has a slender blue neck and head and a long, pointed blue beak. Atop the "head" is a brilliant orange fanned crest -- the petioles of the flower. Birds of paradise are tropical plants, but they can successfully be grown in other climates as houseplants or outdoor container plants, provided they are sheltered during the winter. You can start a new bird-of-paradise plant by taking shoots from a parent plant.
Things You'll Need
- Pitchfork
- Garden spade
- Knife
- Bleach
- Potting mix
- Pots
- Liquid fertilizer
Loosen the soil around your bird-of-paradise plant with a garden fork. Don't insert the tines directly under the plant, where they could damage the root system.
Dig down about 8 inches using a garden spade. Lift the root clump gently out of the ground.
Wash the root system with a garden hose so you can better inspect the cluster of rhizomes. Most of the rhizomes will shoots.
Separate rhizomes that have produced shoots, cutting them off with a clean, sharp knife. These will become your new bird-of-paradise plants.
Mix a solution of 1 part household bleach to 10 parts cool water. Soak the rhizomes in the solution for about 20 minutes, then rinse them under running water for at least a full minute.
Fill pots with a mixture of equal parts of peat and perlite, or a light commercially made potting mix. Plant the rhizomes in the pots with their shoots pointing upward. Cover the rhizomes with 2 to 3 inches of potting mix.
Water regularly to keep the soil barely moist. Begin fertilizing when the plants sprout through the soil. Apply an all-purpose liquid fertilizer according to the package directions.
Tips & Warnings
- If transplanting your bird of paradise to an outdoor container, place the container in partial sun where the plant will flower more easily than in full sun. Do not plant bird of paradise in shade.
- Mulch your outdoor bird-of-paradise plants to help them retain moisture.
- Space you plants at least six feet apart in the garden.
- Make sure your knife is clean by wiping it with alcohol before cutting into the roots of your plant.

No server side scripting accessAsked by Noitidart on March 04, 2014 at 12:38 PM
Hi there,
I made a github page so i don't have any access to server side scripting. Does your contact form service allow me to ajax the form details to your service and it will email me?
JotForm Support Manager
JotForm API supports JSONP requests, so I think that using our API you'll to get form submissions data using AJAX
Please check our API documentation and if you need further help let us know
Oh superb I'll check it out! Does the service actually email me or just
stored on your site database?
Oh never mind, then people who use my contact from have to sign up for
jotform huh? :(
JotForm Support
1. Yes, you should get email notifications. Make sure you have correct email recipients on your form notifications. Check this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/41-Finding-out-E-mail-Address-used-for-submission-notifications
2. No, people who use your contact form are NOT required to signup. They can fill and submit your form directly on their browser.
Hope this information helps. Cheers!
Hi there what's an email notification? I want the users text he typed in
the form, not notification. So when it comes to my inbox I can just click
reply from there right away. :)
JotForm Support
Notification Email is the email you receive when someone fills out your form. Notification Email has two versions which is the HTML Mode and Text Mode. If you want to receive the email as a "text", choose the Text Mode
Click "Use Text E-Mail" button to switch to Text Mode while creating your notification email settings:
Let us know if you need any further assistance using this function.
Ok thanks Ill check it out, it doesnt sound like notifcation is what I want
though :(
JotForm Support Manager
Actually all you want to know is how to get the submitted data using AJAX. Like I said above, you must revise our API documentation in order to make it to work
However, if all that you need is to show submission data that were sent by your users in your webpage, you can also embed a grid or table report
No I don't need to show a grid at all lol they are personal messages being
sent to me, but I appreciate your time very much to answer this! :)
