A year ago, the Nashville Predators were a franchise in a state of flux but now, with their ownership situation settled, there is reason to be optimistic.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at the rise of this quality team and how the Predators, with greater financial commitment, may be able to take the next step as a team.
Predators general manager David Poile has done a tremendous job building a team that can be consistently competitive, even when faced with a bare-bones budget, as he did in 2007-2008.
Now that the Predators have committed local ownership, and all indications are that they will spend significantly more money going forward, there is a sense that the Predators are on more stable footing, both on and off the ice.
"I know we are going to be better and stronger in so many ways next season," Poile told the Nashville City Paper. "We have a stable ownership. That is a necessity for us to do our jobs. We have a much more normal situation. I feel bullish on our future."
With a good mix of young homegrown players combined with savvy free agent signings, the Predators rode into the playoffs on the cheap in 2007-2008 and gave the Red Wings a competitive six-game series. By keeping the core together, and signing several important players to long-term contract extensions, the Predators obviously like their current direction.
They will still face challenges in spite of the increased financial commitment. The goaltending situation is up in the air now that Dan Ellis is an unrestricted free agent. Defencemen Ryan Suter and Shea Weber are attractive restricted free agents. Additionally, the Predators could use more scoring depth, particularly if the return of Steve Sullivan isn't imminent.
Of course, given where the Predators were as a franchise a year ago, it's refreshing to have these simple hockey problems to address and Poile has proven to be adept in handling these personnel matters.
GM/COACHDavid Poile/Barry Trotz
Top Prospects: Patric Hornqvist, Antti Pihlstrom, Nick Spaling
A big guy with a heavy shot and soft hands, Jason Arnott is coming off one of his best pro seasons, with 72 points representing the second-highest mark of his career.
30-year-old J.P. Dumont earned a four-year contract extension after putting up career-highs in goals (29) and points (72). He's a strong skater with a nose for the net and a strong enough scorer to play a prominent role.
Perhaps the biggest game-breaking talent on the club, Alexander Radulov isn't yet a consistent performer and, as a result, is still fighting for minutes. The 22-year-old is making nice progress, however, and may not be too far from a 40-goal season.
Martin Erat is another Predator who earned a new contract and the 26-year-old skilled winger should just be hitting his prime.
Speedy centre David Legwand dropped off after his career season, battling a series of injuries, but he's developed enough in recent years to be a solid second-line centre.
Scott Nichol is one of the more agitating players in the game, but he's added a dose of discipline to his relentless style and even managed a career-best ten goals in 2007-2008.
It took a while for Vernon Fiddler to stick in the NHL, but the 28-year-old has proven over the last couple of seasons to be an effective two-way player and notched a career-high 32 points in 2007-2008.
Jordin Tootoo gets a lot of pub for a fourth-line pot-stirrer, but he's making progress, scoring a career-best 11 goals.
While he has good size and is useful enough in spot duty, Jerred Smithson has 45 points in 241 career games, so his value is limited to a fourth-line role.
Hard-working winger Jed Ortmeyer is another fourth-line type who has trouble staying healthy in recent years, missing 72 games over the past two seasons.
14-year NHL veteran Radek Bonk was asked to do too much and, while he managed a respectable 29 points, his minus-31 rating was the league's worst. The 32-year-old may have some value in a depth role, but it appears that regular third-line duty is more than he can handle.
Brandon Bochenski is with his fifth team in three NHL seasons and he appears to be just good enough to keep drawing interest. Bochenski has enough offensive instincts to be a 20-goal scorer, but only if he can earn enough faith from the coaches to get a regular role.
Rich Peverley has worked his way up the ladder and the undrafted free agent showed well in 33 games with the Predators last season. He may be able to squeeze into a roster spot next season.
The one wildcard among the Predators forwards is Steve Sullivan, the talented winger who missed the entire season with a back injury. If Sullivan can play, it gives Nashville a much-needed point-per-game player but, given his current injury situation, it's tough to count on him.
In an effort to score more, the Predators may hope that they have 2005 seventh-round pick Patric Hornqvist, who has 41 goals in 102 Swedish Elite League games in the last two seasons and is coming off a strong World Championship, in the fold. Another option could be to shop a defenceman in order to acquire a more proven scorer.
Otherwise, the Preds may need to dip into free agency for one more proven scoring winger. Vaclav Prospal, Cory Stillman or possibly the return of Jan Hlavac would help.
Top Prospects: Cody Franson, Jonathan Blum, Alexander Sulzer, Teemu Laakso
Marek Zidlicky resumed a more offensive role after his production slipped in 2006-2007 and the mobile blueliner racked up 25 of his 43 points with the man advantage. He's a valuable puck-moving defenceman, either for the Predators or as bait for a blockbuster deal.
25-year-old Dan Hamhuis is the workhorse of the unit, logging more than 22 minutes per game and he's only missed five games in his four-year NHL career. His production has declined in the last couple of seasons, but Hamhuis is still a valuable piece on the blueline.
Veteran Greg de Vries has played for seven NHL teams for more than a dozen seasons in total so you know what you're getting: a big, strong veteran guy who is reliable in his own end.
Unheralded Greg Zanon performs selflessly on the defensive end, but is limited otherwise. As part of the third pairing, and in a penalty-killing role, he's a piece of the puzzle.
Shea Weber's rise to stardom hit a roadblock when he suffered a knee injury in the first game of the season and he never got totally back on track. Nevertheless, he's just 23 and has a rare package of size, skill and toughness. A team could test the Predators' new ownership with a significant offer sheet, projecting Weber to be their number one defenceman, but Nashville would probably be better off clearing other salaries before letting Weber walk due to financial concerns.
23-year-old Ryan Suter continues to make progress, though he was a healthy scratch at times last season, and he may be the most vulnerable of the Predators restricted free agents. Considering the money the Preds have already earmarked for other blueliners, it could be tough to retain both Weber and Suter, but the Predators would naturally prefer to keep both.
Ville Koistinen made a smooth transition to the NHL. Even in a limited role, his mobility and puck-handling skills were assets on the blueline and would earn him regular minutes virtually anywhere else.
Perennial prospect Kevin Klein could only muster 13 games with the Predators and it may be time for a fresh start somewhere else. With such a deep defence corps, and more quality prospects on the way, there just may not be the right fit for the 23-year-old who is due for a legitimate shot at regular NHL employment.
Top Prospects: Pekka Rinne, Jeremy Smith
Chris Mason found that there is a substantial difference between being a solid backup and being 'The Man' between the pipes. Handed the starting role when Tomas Vokoun was traded, Mason was wildly inconsistent and was supplanted by Dan Ellis as the starter late in the season.
Virtually unknown entering the season, Dan Ellis had played one NHL game in the preceding four seasons, but then finished with a league-best .924 save percentage. An unrestricted free agent, Ellis could justifiably look to cash in on his outstanding season, which would leave the Predators in the lurch since Mason's ability to handle the number one job is clearly in doubt.
If the Predators can't get Ellis re-signed, prospect Pekka Rinne may finally be worth a shot since he would have to clear waivers to get sent down again next season.

a4eeba-7-deactivated20130329 asked : what the important thing in your life ??
I try not to value one thing more than any other thing.
But if I was backed into a corner and forced to answer I'd probably say something like the sustained expansion of my consciousness.
Or more simply put, learning. :)

LeAnn Rimes Looks REALLY Thin, Lambasts Hatersby Free Britney at . Comments
LeAnn Rimes caught considerable flak for her appearance at the NCAA title game last night, and did not mince words firing back at critics on Twitter.
Rimes, who recently called a truce with Brandi Glanville, now has other detractors to focus on - those who said she's looking way too thin lately.
"To those who have to turn to other's lives and judge with no real knowledge of how anyone lives, you can you know what!" she posted Tuesday.
Rimes performing the National Anthem in Houston last night.
Responding to a "fan" who asked if she starves herself: "dear lord! I do not workout too much nor do I starve myself. I'm over this and moving on."
Overall, she says it's "Always an honor to honor our country. Very proud of last night. Still on a bit of a high. Thx you all fir such kind kind words."
What do you think: LeAnn is looking really ...
I wish my legs could look like that. She looks fine to me.
if she was always this thin then it would not be a big deal but to become this thin means she is either sick, stressed out or starving. I was a VERY thin girl, at one time 90 lbs at 5'6, I did not starve or work out, I actually ate quite a bit, I was just under a huge amount of stress. I never though LeAnn was attractive. She recently got implants & now is super thin, maybe being under the spotlight in a negative way is taking it's toll on her.
Girl needs to eat a few Big Macs!
she definitely has an eating disorder, shes not that skinny naturally. anyone with sence can tell the difference between anorexic and naturally tiny...
OMG she looks like a zombie in a michael jackson music video. why do female celebs want to look soo skinny? that sh*t is not sexy and healthy. i like a woman with more meat on her, i dont want to hug or sex any skeleton lookin woman but that's just me.
Hate to tell her but she is lookin kinda like she has an eating disorder
She is looking like Brandi in that they are both skeletors. Eddie like them skinny and Leann will have to do anything to keep him cuz god forbid you eat something he just might dump your ass. If he could divorce his wife and the mother of his kids for some skank, than you have to know it could happen to you too Leann!!
Patricia, I agree with you. But, if she does have an eating disorder at a certain point it messes with your brain and you don't realize just how thin you really are. I have been there, not as thin as her but close. Fortunately it didn't last long and I got back to eating normal quickly. It is a scary thing to go thru, she needs to be careful and hopefully those around her will get her help.
I really have no respect for her but she might want to hear what people are saying and not get such an attitude about it, it may just save her life.

Hello all, i hope this question hasent been repeated a few times on here, but i am just building a small studio in my garage (around 6m x 5.5m) and was just wondering if anyone could point me to any lenses that would be good for studio work, at the moment i use a fixed 50mm f1.8 lens which is fine for now, but i want an upgrade.
I have a canon 400d and wanted a lense that would be good for both close portraits and full shots.
i hope you can help.
I use here the Sigma 28 - 105mm and new the Sigma 24 - 70 mm and as well the Sigma 10 -20 mm. All is working fine.
I use a Sigma 18-50 F2.8 along side my 50mm f1.8, it's great when I need to get further back but the wall is in the way.
@ Rob,
this is the lens what I ordered couple of days ago.... 24-70... brilliant for studio work.
@ Rob,
you put the link online here too:

looks like a good lens see here. i would buy a canon though. there is one on ebay keep an eye on it .Last Modified By colin beeley at 26 Jan 2009 - 8:50 AM Helpful Post!
I've been using a Sigma 24-70 in the studio for a couple of years now and it's great for general kids running about type shots, coupled with a prime for head shots and that's all the kit I used.Now added a 50-150 to the kit as 70mm was a bit short for what I needed at times, but I think my shooting area is longer than yours.
I use 400D in a fairly small studio and have the sigma 24-70 ex 2.8 which never comes off my camera, have the 50mm 1.8 too but rarely use that now

James Ware
Frederick Mosteller Professor of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health
James Ware is the Frederick Mosteller Professor of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health. His research interests focus on methods for the analysis of longitudinal and environmental data, and on the application of biostatistics to environmental epidemiology and clinical research. He has developed statistical methods for the design and analysis of longitudinal studies, with application to studies of the health effects of air pollutants. That research led to new methodology for the analysis of longitudinal data, and to many publications on the health effects of air pollutants, including particulate air pollution, nitrogen dioxide, and sidestream cigarette smoke. This work also stimulated research on errors of measurement and their effects on the design and analysis of studies. With colleagues Nan Laird and Garrett Fitzmaurice, Dr. Ware recently completed a book on methods for analysis of longitudinal data. Professor Ware has substantial experience in the design and analysis of clinical trials, with a focus on interventions for heart disease. He is a statistical consultant to the New England Journal of Medicine, teaches courses on clinical trials and longitudinal analysis, and writes occasional papers on statistical issues in clinical research. Since 1990, Professor Ware has served as Dean for Academic Affairs at the Harvard School of Public Health.

New York, NY (May 8, 2013) –Marley Beverage Company, in partnership with Sonicbids, today launched "Marley's Music Uprising", a contest to discover the next great sound inspired by reggae and influenced by the legendary Bob Marley.

Members of the Marley family, including Cedella Marley and Ky-Mani Marley, will select 25 artists or bands from all submissions to be featured on marley.sonichub.com. Fans across the country will vote throughout the summer to select the top three bands to advance to the final round and perform live at one of three major music festivals – Sierra Nevada (Mendocino, CA), Electric Forest (Rothbury, MI), and Gathering of the Vibes (Bridgeport, CT). The live performances will be captured on video and featured on the website where fans will elect a winning act for the grand prize Tuff Gong recording session.

05.01.07 - LAS VEGAS Boxing superstar and Three-time world champion Sugar Shane Mosley makes his long awaited return to the ring on Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV., with a new opponent in the opposite corner but the same desire to kick off the New Year with a resounding bang.

Mosley-Collazo is a great way to start off 2007 for Golden Boy Promotions, said company President Oscar De La Hoya. Mosley and Collazo are both slick boxers who arent afraid to get in the trenches and battle it out toe to toe, so Im expecting a memorable fight on February 10th.
I call Luis Collazo the uncrowned champion because everyone who saw him fight the sensational Ricky Hatton last year knows he successfully defended his WBA welterweight title, King said. Luis took everything Hatton threw at him and still had 'The Hitman' out on his feet in the final round.
"I give a lot of credit to Shane Mosley for taking this fight. Luis is young, can box and has a lot of heart. Shane has never backed down from a challenge and hell get one from Luis Collazo on February 10.
Luis Collazo is a rising star in this game, and Im looking forward to matching skills with him on February 10th, said Mosley. Im coming to fight and to put on a great show for the fans, and from what Ive seen of Collazo, he feels the same way. Im ready to go to war.
Mosleys career (43-4, 37 KOs, 1 No Contest) has been epitomized by a willingness to face the best anytime, anywhere. From the lightweight to the junior middleweight divisions, his commitment to excellence has been unquestionable. Mosley is a future Hall of Fame fighter who has won world championships in the lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight divisions. The only man in history to defeat Oscar De La Hoya twice, he is currently riding a four-fight winning streak which includes back-to-back victories against former world-champion Fernando Vargas. At the age of 35, the blazing-fast Mosley plans to kick off his quest for a fourth world championship with a big win against Collazo.
"I am very excited to be in another marquee fight," Collazo said. "I'm younger than Shane so I have admired him for a long time. It says a lot about Mosley that he didn't avoid me like some other fighters have in the past because I'm a slick southpaw.
The 25-year old Collazo (27-2, 13 KOs) was considered a child prodigy after winning the 147-pound novice division in the prestigious New York Golden Gloves at the age of 16. The proud Puerto Rican had no trouble after turning professional, racking up win after win. The larger fights eluded him until he got his first world title shot, on just two weeks' notice, against WBA Welterweight Champion Jose Antonio Rivera on April 2, 2005. Collazo made the most of his opportunity, winning a split-decision in Rivera's hometown. After defending his title with a TKO of ring legend Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Collazo later lost his crown to British superstar Ricky Hatton with a highly-controversial 12-round decision in May 2006. Since the loss, Collazo has bounced back with a sixth round stoppage of Artur Atadzhanov and would like to add Mosley to his list of victims.
A world-class undercard will be announced in the near future.

Place and Date of Hearing:
Vancouver, British Columbia
August 16, 2012
Place and Date of Judgment:
Vancouver, British Columbia
November 2, 2012
Written Reasons by:
The Honourable Mr. Justice Hall
Concurred in by:
The Honourable Madam Justice D. Smith
The Honourable Mr. Justice Hinkson
Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Mr. Justice Hall:
[1] This is an appeal from the judgment of Gerow J. pronounced January 27, 2012. The case can be found at 2012 BCSC 131, B.C.L.R. (5th) 127. The petitioners, who are respondents on this appeal, are members of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Society (the "Society"), which Society is the appellant. The respondent petitioners brought an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking to set aside certain resolutions approved at a meeting of the Society held on June 26, 2011 (the "meeting").
[2] The petitioners submitted before the learned chambers judge and this Court that the notice of the meeting was inadequate and that as well there was not a quorum present at the meeting. The respondents also complained about the procedure used in counting votes at the meeting.
[3] The respondent Society was established in 1973 for the purpose of building a structure that would cater to the religious needs of the Sikh population in Surrey and adjoining areas. The Society membership has greatly expanded over the years and at the time of the hearing it was said that the respondent Society had in excess of 30,000 members. It is obviously a large organization.
[4] This case appears to involve at its heart a controversy between what might be termed certain of the "old guard" members of the Society and some younger members. The chambers judge noted that the current executive of the Society, known as the Sikh Youth Executive, had been elected to office in November 2009. The members of this executive are baptized Sikhs. It appears that a majority, or at least a large number of members of the Society could be described as non-baptized. After taking office in January 2010, the new executive took steps to modernize the methodology by which the Society communicated with members. Prior to this, the bylaws of the respondent Society had required the executive to give notice of general meetings or annual general meetings by providing notice in writing at least 14 days in advance. Notices were to be mailed to the address where a member lived and there was a provision that if more than one member resided at an address, then only one notice needed to be sent to that address.
[5] At a general meeting held in the summer of 2010, the new executive received approval from members that notice might effectively be given by publishing such notice in one issue of two English language Indo-Canadian newspapers with circulation in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, at least one of which must have a general circulation of 10,000 and by publishing such notice in one issue of two Punjabi language Indo-Canadian newspapers with circulation in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, at least one of which must have a general circulation of 10,000. As well, provision was made for publishing notice on the website of the Society and posting a copy of such notice at a bulletin board located in the hall of the temple maintained by the Society in Surrey.
[6] In June 2011, the Sikh Youth Executive gave notice of the respondents' 2011 annual and special general meeting pursuant to the process prescribed by the Amended Notice Bylaw. At the meeting there were a number of resolutions to be voted upon including one relating to significant construction expenses. Another dealt with qualifications for the Executive Committee. The latter provided new qualifications for election to the Executive Committee, in that it limited eligibility for election to the Executive Committee to those who were baptized. As the chambers judge observed about this qualification resolution, "there is no issue that this is a significant change to the bylaws and would result in the majority of the members of the society being ineligible to run for election for the executive". Eventually there came to be no serious issue about the building bylaw but the qualification resolution was quite controversial.
[7] The petitioners were concerned that the qualification resolution would deleteriously affect the ability of a great many of the members of the Society to be elected to the Executive Committee. They, through counsel, corresponded with the Executive of the appellant setting out their concerns regarding whether proper notice of the meeting had been given, and they requested inter alia, the adjournment of the meeting so that a fair and transparent process could be put in place. The Executive did not accede to the requests of the petitioners.
[8] The June meeting was quite heavily attended and scrutineers appointed by the Executive announced that there was a quorum present on this occasion. It appears that due to the layout of the site of the meeting, there was some difficulty in attendees at the meeting hearing all that went on. This, along with other matters arising from conduct of the meeting, is at issue in the present litigation.
[9] The learned chambers judge framed the issues as follows:
1. Were there irregularities with the Meeting sufficient to engage the Court's intervention under s. 85 of the Society Act?
2. If so, what is the appropriate relief under s. 85 of the Society Act?
[10] Certain provisions of the Society Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 433 [the Act], require consideration:
60 A society must give not less than 14 days' written notice of a general meeting to those members entitled to receive notice of a general meeting, but those members may waive or reduce the period of notice for a particular meeting by unanimous consent in writing.
85 (1) Despite anything in this Act, if an omission, defect, error or irregularity occurs in the conduct of the affairs of a society by which
(a) a breach of this Act occurs,
(b) there is default in compliance with the constitution or bylaws of the society, or
(c) proceedings at, or in connection with, a general meeting, a meeting of the directors of the society or an assembly purporting to be such a meeting are rendered ineffective,
the court may
(d) either of its own motion or on the application of an interested person, make an order
(i) to rectify or cause to be rectified or to negate or modify or cause to be modified the consequences in law of the omission, defect, error or irregularity, or
(ii) to validate an act, matter or thing rendered or alleged to have been rendered invalid by or as a result of the omission, defect, error or irregularity, and
(e) give the ancillary or consequential directions it considers necessary.
(2) The court must, before making an order, consider the effect of it on the society and its directors, officers, members and creditors.
(3) An order made under subsection (1) does not prejudice the rights of a third party who has acquired those rights for valuable consideration without notice of the omission, defect, error or irregularity cured by the order.
[11] After making reference to those sections, the chambers judge found that the method used to give the notice of the meeting, namely publishing notice in certain newspapers, did not meet the requirement in s. 60 of the Act, that written notice be afforded to members entitled to receive it. The judge found that there was no evidence that the newspapers containing notices had been delivered or given to members of the Society entitled to receive notice. She noted that the evidence was that at least one of the newspapers in which the notice was published was not delivered but was given away at various locations.
[12] After referring to a number of cases that had held that publishing a notice of a meeting in a newspaper or bulletin of general circulation was insufficient and constituted a defect or irregularity in the affairs of the Society, the judge found that the substantive requirements of s. 60 of the Act had not been met. She rejected the argument advanced on behalf of the Society that the cases referred to were distinguishable as in those cases there had not been in existence a bylaw allowing notice to be given by that methodology. The judge observed:
[35] A society cannot pass bylaws that violate the Society Act. Societies are creatures of statute, and cannot pass bylaws which are inconsistent with the empowering statute. If the bylaw is repugnant to the Society Act, it is ultra vires the powers of the society to adopt it: B.P.Y.A. 1163 Holdings Ltd. v. Strata Plan VR2192, 2008 BCSC 695 at paras. 78-84.
[36] I disagree with the respondent that the substantive requirements of s. 60 of the Society Act have been met. Section 60 is mandatory, and not only requires that the notice be in writing 14 days before the meeting, but also requires that the notice be given to members entitled to receive notice. As stated earlier, there is no evidence that the newspapers in which the notice was published were given to the members entitled to receive notice. As such, I am of the opinion that the Amended Notice Bylaw is repugnant to the empowering act and is ultra vires the Society. [Emphasis in original.]
[13] The judge as well went on to hold that there were deficiencies of procedure relative to another aspect of the meeting, namely proof of a quorum being present. She stated her conclusions and grant of remedy as follows:
[58] As stated above, I have concluded that the lack of notice and lack of quorum are defects and irregularities in the conduct of a society for which remedies under s. 85 of the Society Act are appropriate. Accordingly, I am making the following orders:
· The special resolution dated June 26, 2011, approving the qualification for designated offices amendment, will be set aside or negated;
· The special resolutions dealing with the approval and funding will be given effect to;
· The Amended Notice Bylaw, allowing notice to be given to members by way of newspaper, will be struck;
· Members will be allowed to vote by way of secret ballot on any proposed amendment for qualifications for designated offices;
· Quorum for the meeting will be determined by members signing against his or her name on the roster of membership.
[59] Given the divisiveness of the issue, it is my view that it is also appropriate to order that any proposed amendment to the qualifications for designated offices be overseen by an independent observer.
[14] The appellant argues that the judge erred in her interpretation of s. 60 of the Act, which alleged error affected the validity of her decision that proper notice of the meeting had not been afforded to members of the Society. It is said she conflated the concepts of "giving notice" and "delivering notice". The statute requires the giving of notice.
[15] In the modern electronic world we inhabit, the giving of notice of something might properly be given in a more innovative manner than mailing. It was obviously in pursuit of such an objective that amendments concerning methodologies of notice were proposed and approved in 2010. I consider that courts must be alive to the times in which we live and give a measure of deference to new methods for giving notice adopted by organizations such as the Society.
[16] However, that said, it is an underlying theme of cases going back to the 19th century that where a notice is required, it ought to be effective notice: Hong v. Oung Kwang Presbyterian Church of Vancouver, 2002 BCSC 1503; Gill v. Johal, 2002 BCSC 449; Russell v. Toronto (City) (1907), 15 O.L.R. 484, 9 O.W.R. 288 (H. Ct. J.), aff'd (1907), 15 O.L.R. 484 at 496, 11 O.W.R. 23 (C.A.); Ross et al v. Machar (1885), 8 O.R. 417 (C.A.); Angled Enterprises Limited v. Quesnel (City) (1988), 27 B.C.L.R. (2d) 59 (C.A.).
[17] As I interpret the amended notice bylaw passed by the Society in 2010, it is envisaged that the prime method of effective notice to members shall be notice via newspaper notification. I consider it was permissible here on the evidence for the chambers judge to conclude that there was a deficiency of proof that proper and effective notice had been given via newspaper advertising. There was evidence that certain of the newspaper notices were contained in papers not circulated but given away at certain locations. It seems to me that it would be difficult to demonstrate that such a methodology could ever be the type of notice contemplated to be given to members of a society pursuant to s. 60 of the Act. It would, in my view, have to be shown that a notice of meeting was contained in a paper with a large circulation being delivered and available for sale in the area where a significant number of members of the Society reside. This should provide reasonable assurance that such notice would come to the attention of those entitled to notice.
[18] I observe that this particular bylaw may be fatally flawed by its reference to newspapers having "a general circulation of 10,000" when it appears the Society has a membership in excess of 30,000 persons. A provision for notice in a large daily newspaper circulating in the lower mainland would, on the face of matters, appear likely to be a more efficacious methodology for the giving of notice to Society members. I need reach no final conclusion on this however as I have observed that the evidence demonstrated that it was most unlikely that effective notice was ever given via the newspapers chosen as a notice vehicle. A "giveaway" paper is obviously a wholly inadequate vessel for the giving of proper notice. I would accordingly sustain what I see as the largely factual decision of the judge to invalidate the passage of the resolution for inadequacy of notice of the meeting at which the qualification resolution was presented.
[19] This conclusion would strictly speaking not require the Court to deal with the alternate basis, namely the quorum issue, given by the judge for invalidating the proceeding but since the matter was fully argued, I have considered that it may be helpful for the Court to express its views on this conclusion of the judge and as well on certain aspects of her proposed remedial order.
[20] I consider the judge to have fallen into error on the quorum issue when she considered some rather dated correspondence from a fire prevention officer about building capacity. It seems to me that this information would lack probative force in demonstrating the modern capacity or dimensions of the building. The methodology utilized to determine a proper quorum may have fallen short of perfection but I consider some measure of deference must be shown to procedural choices made by a Society like the respondent. Since I consider the approach of the judge to this issue was flawed by her consideration of the aforesaid correspondence, I would set aside her finding on the quorum issue.
[21] I also doubt whether it was appropriate to order that "any proposed amendment to the qualifications for designated officers be overseen by an independent observer". Such an order immediately raises the query of how the term "independent" should be construed? One party's "independent observer" might be considered highly biased by another party. If an order of this sort is to be made, I consider it could only be made after a process wherein respective parties put forward suggestions as to who might properly be chosen to undertake such a function. By such procedure, a court would be enabled to properly assess who might be appointed to perform such a function. I venture to observe that if proper notice of a meeting were to be afforded to members of the Society and a transparent methodology adopted for conduct of a meeting, no "observer" should be required.
[22] As I said, I consider the largely factual conclusion of the judge that there was demonstrated a significant deficiency in the giving of notice of the meeting of June 2011 to be one that ought not to be interfered with by this Court. I would on this basis uphold her decision invalidating the passage of the qualification resolution at the meeting. The appeal ought to be dismissed.

How to Pray?
There is really no right or wrong way to pray. There's many ways of praying. You don't have to speak out loud, you can talk to him in your head too. He still hears you.
You don't need to speak a certain way, or be super educated on things in order to be able to pray to God. The words you pray do not have to be impressive in speech in order for him to listen to your prayer.
What do you say during prayer?
Basically just talk to him. Thank him for everything and everyone you have in your life. Let him know that you appreciate how blessed you are. Even when your going through a rough time we should always be thanking him. When your going through tough times, talk it out with him. Pour out your heart to him. Ask for strength to get through it and he will help you.
Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven
God will help us through anything we may face if we call upon him in prayer.
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
James 5:14-16 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another,that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
2 Samuel 22: 2-4 - The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in Him I will trust, My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
2 Samuel 22:7 - In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God. He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry entered his ears.
Psalm 27:1 - The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 28: 6-7 - Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications! The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him and I am helped; Therefore my heart will greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.
Making your prayer super long and fancy in words doesn't really matter…What really matters is coming from your heart no matter how long or short, or how well you speak. He can see your heart and know how you really feel and that is what matters.
Matthew 6:7 - And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
There is no right or wrong way to pray to our God. If you feel something in your heart, speak to him. Whether it's thanking him, or asking for help and guidance he will always hear you, and he is always there for us.
No one can ever tell you that your praying wrong, because only God can see your heart and know what your feeling. And that's what matters!
God Bless
Habakkuk 3: 17-19 - Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; he will make my feet like deer's feet, and he will make me walk on my high hills.
What does this verse mean to you?
I hardly ever pray really long prayers, something about me just makes me want to pray quick and to the point and all of the same topic, for example for healing, or salvation for the lost, or for patience, or in praise to God, or for guidance. I like my prayers to be like that. But there are times I will have like hour long prayers instead of my normal 10mins or less prayers. I can't, nor would I want hinder the Holy Spirit from moving me to pray for everything at once. All I know is if i'm getting prayer into my day I'm fine with it in whatever from it comes. "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."-Ephesians 6:18
So guys let us know how you guys like to pray, also drop us some prayer requests so we can lift them up together (:
Grace, Peace, and God bless

More than 70 sixth graders will graduate from this summer — but this year, they've ingrained a part of themselves in the school that will last long after they walk out its doors for the last time.
As part of the community's year-long "50 for 50" initative that honors the school's anniversary, the sixth graders, along with every teachers and student in kindergarten through fifth grade, spent weeks hand crafting clay tiles and buttons for a sweeping mosaic honoring the milestone.
On Monday, they saw the work come to life in an official unveiling in the school's lobby.
Parents Rita Monner and Dena Carter first approached the school's PTA about the idea this summer, said President Beth Eachus, as the group was creating the list of 50 projects it planned to accomplish as a community in honor of the school's 50th anniversary.
To complete the project, the school brough in local mosaic artist , who also owns Vienna's , as the school's first Artist in Residence.
Fitzgerald coached the sixth graders in two of their art classes, along with art teachers Ginny Kinsey and Ronald Woodard, as they created their tiles, she said. She then assembled them — along with the clay buttons designed by students in other grades — onto six large mosaic boards in her Church Street studio. She held two "open houses" so students could see their work being pieced together.
At the unveiling, the boards surrounded a center mosaic bearing the Marshall Road Elementary School name. Students pointed out the tiles scattered across the mosaic, remembering their own creations and marveling at those of teachers and friends.
Fitzgerald said one of her favorite parts of the project was "you find something new everytime you look at it."
"It captures such a special moment in time," Fitzgerald said.
While the mural held many of the pieces created by students and teachers, there are still buttons that won't fit on the piece of art. Faculty plan to create a second piece of art with the remaining creations, which will likely hang above or around the school's main office.
Principal Jennifer Heiges encouraged students to bring in their families and friends to see the completed project, throughout the rest of this school year and in the years that follow.
"The more people know about it, the more it comes to life," she said.

The relationship between the media and law enforcement is often adversarial. Reporters appear to seek the sensational elements of a crime story, often to the detriment of the police, and officers tend to be uncooperative with journalists they seem to instinctively mistrust. Not so with "The Badge," a new series presented by a San Francisco Chronicle reporter/photographer team embedded with the SFPD. Kudos to the Chronicle for pursuing this series and to the officers who willingly put themselves in the media spotlight in the hopes of helping civilians develop a better understanding of life behind the badge. You're putting a human face on "the police," which will benefit us all. Read the full "Badge" series

Current Residents
Geniene Wilson, MD
As a family medicine doctor, I have always struggled to focus on the patient in front of me without thinking about the bigger issues that affect my patient's health. After completing a family medicine residency, I founded an International Clinic in Lewiston, Maine, caring for refugees from Somalia and Sudan. As medical director of this clinic, I developed refugee health-screening protocols that focused on this underserved population with unique needs. Today, I am a faculty member at a family medicine residency program and I care for underserved patients, including people living with HIV/AIDS. I see the effects of the social determinants of health on my patients every day and the preventive medicine residency gives me a platform to work on these big picture issues that are so important to health. The UAlbany preventive medicine residency offers a wonderful opportunity to formalize my interest in population health and to work with the NY department of health as I learn. I am very proud to be a part of it!
Omotayo Majekodunmi, MD
It was during my PGY-2 year of internal medicine residency training that I came to the realization that the individual-only focus of the current health care system was not going to be beneficial to me as a physician and the individuals I have taken an oath to serve. This realization came to a head in my PGY-3 year and I made the decision to go back to what brought to me to medicine and health in the first place- Prevention. I grew up in Nigeria with a Public Health Nurse mum at a time when preventive medicine was the only kind of medicine practiced. A prevention approach to health makes more sense to me than our current curative model. Our patients spend more time in their communities than they do in our offices. It is very short sighted of us as physicians to think that the short 10-15 minutes we spend with them once a year or even every 3 months is going to make a huge impact on their health status. If we cannot change their communities, we have very little hope of changing the individual. I am so excited to be part of the UAlbany Preventive Medicine Program and I am hoping the skills and exposures I have during these next 2 years will help me show other clinicians that they have a huge role to play in community and public health.

Prior to joining the UAlbany Preventive Medicine residency program, I was working as a primary care physician in a medically underserved urban area. While working at my clinic, I became involved in several projects to improve the community's health. These experiences led me to shift my focus from individual-level to population-level care. I joined the Preventive Medicine program to gain the skills and tools necessary to think broadly, conduct health and needs assessments, and aid communities in designing interventions to improve both community and population health. My interests lie in health care disparities, accessibility, and equity. The UAlbany program has given me the opportunity to learn from both the School of Public Health and the NYS Department of Health. I am very excited!

My interest in public health work thus far has been in the nexus between marginalized populations and Emergency Medicine. I began medical school in 2001. Over the next 14 years, I have many wonderful opportunities. I did my residency in Emergency Medicine at Bellevue Hospital in New York City; learned Spanish while living in Mexico, Chile, and Argentina; lived and worked in Western Kenya for one year while spearheaded one of the first emergency department-based HIV testing efforts in East-Africa; researched emergency department-based preventive interventions in the US; and logged a lot of hours in the emergency department taking care of folks who were often down and out.
As a clinician and researcher I have always been aware of health care disparities. As I progress in my career, however, I have become increasingly aware that the solutions to these health care disparities need to be addressed – not only by compassionate clinical care – but also by advocacy, health policy work, and rigorous study. To this end, my professional goals are to explore novel ways to improve the healthcare of marginalized populations in the local, regional, national, and global spheres. Of course, in life, both professionally and personally, we continue to learn every day. I joined the Preventive Medicine Residency as a crucial next step in building the skill set I will need to launch into the next part of my career.
Michael Caldwell, MD MPH
I have dedicated my life and my career to serving others and improving our community. It was in medical school and then Internal Medicine Residency at Mount Sinai that I became very interested in tobacco prevention and control and I led student efforts to get our school and medical center to become a smokefree environment. During my time as Commissioner of Health at Duchess County, NY I continued my work in tobacco control and eventually led a successful effort to get Dutchess County and then NY State to pass very strong smokefree workplace laws. At the state and national level I took on leadership positions first as the Chair of the Tobacco Prevention & Control Committee at NACCHO (National Association of County & City Health Officials) and then as President of first NYSACHO and then NACCHO.
I now want to continue to serve others and improve our community in a different work setting outside of government. Now that the Complementary Pathway is available, I am looking forward to achieving board certification in Preventive Medicine as well as recertifying in Internal Medicine. This will strengthen my experience, fund of knowledge and demonstrate my commitment to excellence as I transition to a new work environment outside of government.

Well made. I bought 10 and gave to all my friends and family. Very good quality and opens bottles with ease. If you do not own one buy one. Has a hole on the end so you can attach it to a bbq. Every person I bought it for love it and there freinds ask them where they got it. So buy buying 10 I just started a gift giving on them. Anyways buy one and it will lead to you buying more to give to your friends and family plus christmas is right around the corner.
this is a cool idea for a bottle opener. but i discovered an issue with it when i first tried to open a bottle of beer. they made the mouth of the wrench almost as big as the cap. so when i put the wrench at an angle to the cap, the wrench just slipped instead of leverage the cap off the bottle. you have to get the wrench at just the correct angle so it can grab the cap without slipping.

This has become my favorite. Bottle opener. It's built like a tank and right at home in your toolbox or your kitchen. I also bought one for the patio. The finish is excellent and it really fills up your hand. Get some before they are gone.

This is a good heavy duty bottle opener. The craftsman name not only claims quality. It is quality. This thing won't wear out. And it makes an interesting conversation piece.
A great addition to my toolbox. A fun novelty to pull out and open up some bottles in the backyard after the job is done! Same great quality as the Craftsman wrenches it is made to resemble!

First Minute And A Half Of Ronda TUF 18 Episode 1 Rousey vs Miesha Tate.
Awwww looks like poo poo potty face got some sand in her vagina!!!
"poo poo potty" face vs. "eww, who farted" face. Poo Poo wins again and again.
Ronda "the hypocrite" Rousey. She boasts about how much sex she has pre-fight on talk shows, but then when a fan asks her how much she becomes irate.
lol Rhonda's so dumb….she said she actually thought at that moment that she was going to be cut from the show lol
I wish their teeth were whiter. (cat paw swipe motions)
Gonna be the worst TUF season yet. Two bitches who bleed from their vagina that are immature as s*** tryin to coach upcoming fighters. What a distraction that prolly was. Zigano please get healthy and destroy some vagina with you alpha vagina. Mmmm I SMELL TUNA
What did your mother do to you? Jeebus, Dude!
I can't stand all the drama but sh@t everyone knows they'll be watching!
so all the comment worst season ever sure… this will be the biggest season ever why? because not only will guy's be watching but their wives will be watching just for the drama lol!
All that self centered talk about herself and the video is only a minute!?! It's oncfirmed. I only watch the fights this season. Most seasons that's what I do but this season looks like there's too much useless drama.
God i can't stand Ronda! She thinks she is God's gift to fighting and is unbeatable with her one dimensional armbar lol. Tate is way hotter btw and i pray she kicks the s*** out of that fake, whack cry baby bitch!!!!!!!
Go Meisha!!!
@lord faron
You understand what's going on. They don't put men and women in the same house because women are so skilled in fighting… They do it to be "whackier" and have more drama like Big Brother and all that horrible TV. Guys will tune on to see the fights, and women will watch to follow all the drama. Good thing we have Bruno that posts episodes where you can skip until the fight.
@Captain…Something is seriously wrong with you. You need help.
i like tate' outfit, she looks hot. and honda as always looks like a dog
Bloody Tuna Poo Poo Face Rousey vs Hammer Smashed Face Squinty Man-Assed Tate!
Cyborg vs Rousey at a catch weight and watch Rousey bleeeeed (out of her vagiiiina)
won't be watchin even 1 episode, hate woodtick face…don't care for tate much either…

I would definitely buy this again if I lost it. It is great for smoothing my calluses, which can get pretty bad. I have been using this for a few years and have never cut myself with the Ped Egg, as I did with a blade type callus remover. Packaging is cute and the price is fair for what you get.

This is a great product. I use this right after my shower (only once a week) to grate off the dead skin and then use the emery file (attached) to smooth down the skin. Follow with a good moisturizer, and my feet are sandal-ready. Wouldn't be without this!

This is the second tool I've purchased to remove calluses on my feet. The first was nothing special, I can't even remember the brand - it was thin and metal, and the actual abrasive part was very fine, and it had a long handle, which was awkward to use. While it improved the appearance on my skin, the results were minor and nothing to write home about.
I finally purchased the Ped Egg, just the plain white and blue one. There is definitely a difference. After 5 minutes on my moderately callused feet, my skin already looked the least callused they've been since I was a kid. I was actually concerned about breaking the skin and bleeding, because of how much callus I was getting rid of. I definitely recommend using a good moisturizer afterwards. I used Uremol cream with 20% urea, which is great stuff.
On to the cons: while the egg does trap shavings, it doesn't catch everything - I still got a fair bit of skin flakes around the area where I was using it. So it would be wise to do this on top of a towel or over the bathtub to avoid gross results. This would be a five lippie review if I could really use it wherever. Also, it's quite difficult to remove the file from the rest of the case to throw out the shavings, although that's probably for the best so that it doesn't come off accidentally and dump the culled skin all over the place.
Bottom line: this is the first callus-removal product (tool or lotion) I've tried where I'm actually anticipating having lastingly smooth feet if I keep up the regular use. Great product. Don't mess around with the unreviewed or lower rated products if you really want dramatic results.

Easy to use and highly effective for scrubbing off rough, stubborn callouses. And safe too. But it works best when the blades are sharp and new, they do tend to get dull rather quickly and need to be replaced more often than I'd like- one lippie off for that. Also it's very important to sand down the area after scrubbing to make it smooth or your feet will end up a rough mess. (The Ped Egg has a sticker with emery board-like material on the flat side of the case for this step.)
The scraped-off dead skin gets captured inside the Egg and it's easy to pop off the blade and empty it out. And I'm always surprised how much is in there when I'm finished. Leaves my feet soft & smooth.
Great little product- recommended!

This is great if your feet aren't too bad, but I run 15-20 miles a week so this wasn't enough for me. I've switched to tweezermans callus shaver and I don't have to sit there sanding my heels forever anymore.

Life saver for feet. I always feel smaller when I have used this! My main problem area on my feet are the sides of my big toes (I get a build up of hard skin that looks like a bulge...yuk!) and the balls of my feet rather than my heels. I use this every week and the bulge is gone until it builds up again. I always lay a newspaper on the floor as I find the egg does not capture most of the dead skin. I follow up with Weleda Skin Food and you have baby soft feet. I then use a less moisturising cream the rest of the week. It is a cheap looking contraption but it works. I buy replacement blades and like other reviewers I have found the quality has demised which is annoying. But there is still no other competition. I would be beyond distraught if I could not use this. My feet would become hobbit like and would never be on show.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Green
I develop very thick callouses on my feet at an alarming rate. I'm always trying to chip away at them. So when a coworker raved about the Ped Egg, I decided to give it a try. It did NOTHING for me, except to produce shredded rough skin. It didn't make a dent. I tried it wet, I tried it dry, I tried it several times then finally just threw it away. What a piece of useless junk!
I recommend a razor tool- the ones specifically made for callous removal. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the callouses and then use- dead calloused skin will come off in smooth thin strips! The Ped Egg doesn't hold the tiniest candle to razor removal.
Edit: The callous razor tool is specifically designed for callous removal- don't use just any razor blade! Also care must be taken- too easy to cut yourself if you're not careful. Definitely not for someone with diabetes or clotting disorders!

When I first bought this thing I loved it, But I noticed the the two times I have bought it since the quality has gotten so bad that the blades were to dull do do ANYTHING. I have switched to the tweezerman callus shaver which is awesome. This is a waste of your money in my opinion.

I love my ped egg! I don't have extremely calloused feet, but my heels are a little rough, and after seeing infomercials for this over and over again, I finally gave in and bought it.
I've used the large emery boards for feet which made a small difference, but the results never lasted long. I was kind of scared to use this, because as others have pointed put, it looks like a cheese grater. I thought I would hurt myself. It doesn't hurt or feel strange. It feels like a smooth emery board.
It works so well! It gets rids of calluses and dry skin so easily. The dry skin stays away for a while too. I use it every 2 weeks to touch up.
Use this and then apply vaseline to your feet, then put on cotton socks. when you wake up the next morning your feet will be baby soft!
It's not expensive at all and it lasts for a while. I've had mine for a year and it's in perfect condition. I like that you can empty it out so easily. Everyone should give this a try. If it gets too dull, then I would definitely replace it.

Obama- ...this is my last election year
View Single Post

Quote by
The problem is that when a Republican President negotiates an arms reduction treaty, the Dems are happy and the Reps stay quiet. If a Democrat President tries to negotiate a similar treaty, he will immediately be painted by Reps as weak on defense, and a danger to the security of the country.
Obama is already painted as such by Republicans. He has nothing to lose then, eh? Unless you're saying that he is afraid of the fight (he isn't). Why not look 'Presidential' during an election year? Reason - he intends something highly controversial and not in America's or our allies best interest. He won't get it through the Senate after the election anyway if that's the case. So what's his real problem?
Kennedy got the Limited Test Ban Treaty through in 1963. Clinton continued to negotiate the ABM treaty in 1996. Carter concluded negotiations of SALT II in 1979.
Yes, Obama is as weak as Carter was back in 1979, IMO, but negotiations could still go on and he could still appear quite presidential while pushing back any Senate ratification until after the elections, after all HE is in control of the calendar with any negotiations he chooses to enter into.

In this article, technology expert for the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise shares his knowledge on how to perform tasks in the cloud. Tasks range from surprisingly easy to more complex and difficult tasks so that designers, developers, and deployers of all skills levels can learn.
Now that images are supported on Windows, the topics in this series focus on Windows instances. But, that doesn't mean we won't cover other really neat tasks. In fact, if you have a task that you'd like to see in this series, let us know and we'll consider it.
First, a little background for those who may not be familiar with IIS.
Internet Information Services web server
Microsoft® created the Internet Information Services web server application and set of feature extension modules for use with the Windows operating system. At a recent tally, it was deemed the second most used web server behind the Apache HTTP Server
IIS 7.5, the version that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2, supports the FTP, FTPS, SMTP, NNTP, and HTTP/HTTPS protocols. It's built in a modular format: Individual modules (extensions) can be added or removed so you only have to install the modules you require for specific functionality. Some native modules IIS 7.5 includes are:
- HTTP modules: Performs tasks such as responding to information and inquiries sent in client headers, returning HTTP errors, and redirecting requests.
- Security modules: Performs tasks such as specifying authentication schemes, performing URL authorization, and filtering requests.
- Content modules: Performs tasks such as processing requests for static files, returning a default page when a client does not specify a resource in a request, and listing the contents of a directory.
- Compression modules: Performs tasks such as compressing responses, applying Gzip compression transfer coding to responses, and performing pre-compression of static content.
- Caching modules: Performs tasks such as storing processed information in memory on the server and using cached content in subsequent requests for the same resource.
- Logging and diagnostics modules: Performs tasks such as passing information and processing status to HTTP.sys for logging, reporting events, and tracking requests currently executing in worker processes.
Now let's install an IIS web server on Windows 2008 R2.
Install an IIS web server on Windows 2008 R2
These steps are fairly straightforward. After you have provisioned a Windows 2008 R2 instance, you can access it through the Remote Desktop Protocol tool. Once you have access to the instance, I'll show you how to:
- Install the web server.
- Ensure that the firewall is set up correctly.
- Update the initial page displayed by the web server.
Install the web server
To install the Web Server (IIS) on Windows 2008 R2:
- Right-click My Computer > Manage to open the Server Manager window.
Server Manager window
- Select Roles under Server Manager, then click Add Roles.
Add Roles
- The Add Roles Wizard: Before You Begin window opens.
Select Server Roles and click Next.
Add Roles Wizard
- Select the Web Server (IIS) check box and click Next.
- On the Select Role Services window, keep the default options and click Next.
Select Role Services window
- The Confirm Installation Selections window opens. Read through the list and click Install to complete the installation process.
Confirm Installation Selections window
Ensure that the firewall is set up correctly
This is even easier than the previous steps.
- On the Server Manager window
click Configuration and select
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
- Make sure the firewall is set to the default, World Wide Web Services (HTTP), to allow http/port 80 traffic.
Allowed Programs window
Update the initial page displayed by the web server
Now update the initial page shown by the web server to say "Hello! Welcome to the IBM Compute Cloud."
- Modify the iisstart HTML Document. In the
wwwrootscreen under Computer, find iisstart. (The location is iisstart HTML Document : C: > inetpub > wwwroot.)
wwwroot screen
- Open the iisstart HTML document in Notepad (or whichever text or code
editor you prefer) and add the following line:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
"Hello! Welcome to the IBM Copute Cloud"
 <title>IIS7</title>
Like so:
iisstart HTML document
- Save the file.
- Open a browser from local machine and open the default web page. You should see
the window shown below:
Default web page
And that's all there is to that. Easy wasn't it?

Working Set-Based Access Control for Network File Systems
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Securing access to files is an important and growing concern in corporate environments. Employees are increasingly accessing files from untrusted devices, including personal home computers and mobile devices, such as smart phones, that are not under the control of the corporation, and may be infected with viruses, worms, and other malware. In such cases, it is crucial to protect the confidentiality and integrity of corporate data from malicious accesses. Existing tools available to network administrators are either too permissive or too restrictive in allowing file access from untrusted devices.
