Oina Tribe
|First Appearance
|Animal Masks
Transformation into Wolves
Heightened Senses
|Famous Members
The Oina Tribe are a unique race of people in Okami. They are powerful and hardy warriors that can easily adapt to any climate and situation. They also have to power to transform into wolves, they use this power to fight and travel.
The whole race lives in the frozen area area of Kamui and the majority of them live in Wep'keer. They are the Guardians of Wawku Shrine and they also protect their sacred sword, Kutone.
They are very strong willed and well suited to the frigid and dangerous Kamui environment. However despite this it even gets too harsh and freezing for them sometimes. To fix this problem and to prevent Kamui from completely freezing over they get a tribe member to recite the Volcanic Incantation which causes Ezofuji to erupt and the lands then become warm and fertile.
It is usually the elder that recites the incantation however in Okami's storyline the previous elder, Kemu, became to weak to do it so he taught the incantation to young Lika. However this causes problems in the game as Lechku and Nechku lure her away but eventually Amaterasu saved the day and the incantation can be recited.
The Oina have a governing system quite similar to the other races. They have an elder however it is not sure how a person is chosen for this job. They also have a Shaman who they go to for advice and guards the entrance to their sacred lands.
[edit] Based On
The Oina Tribe's origins seem to come from the Ainu who are the indigenous people of Japan. Although they are a small minority, they still exist today on Japan's northenmost island.
[edit] Trivia
- If Amaterasu uses Bloom on a member of the Oina Tribe they will turn into their wolf forms instead of showering Amaterasu with love like other people do.
- Oina is an Ainu word for short epic poems, usually about gods, that are mostly chanted by women.

I eventually rebooted and it hung on Enable Swap on start-up, forcing me to reboot again. The second time I did a disc check and it eventually started. Have others seen anything similar? Rory

Through PASSAGE (Positive and Safe Schools Advancing Greater Equity), AISR has supported districts and communities working together to reduce discipline disparities and promote positive approaches to school discipline. In the first stage of the PASSAGE initiative, funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies supported work in four major urban school districts – New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Nashville. Beginning in 2016, PASSAGE is focusing this work in Nashville, with support from the Schott Foundation for Public Education .

As a result of Nashville's promising work toward implementing a community and district collaboration model in PASSAGE's first phase, in 2016 Nashville was invited to participate in the next stage of PASSAGE, with Metro Nashville Public Schools as its district partner and the Oasis Center , a Nashville nonprofit that helps vulnerable youth overcome barriers through wraparound services, as PASSAGE's core community partner.
Current PASSAGE work in Nashville will support:
A steering committee and five working groups comprised of these stakeholders have met for two years. The new initiative will also support practices that build teacher capacity and collaboration in order to examine persistent discipline disparities at the school level, implement interventions that create supportive classrooms and school climate, and develop procedures for collecting and tracking relevant data to measure progress over time.

Green Cemetery is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway about a half mile east of the intersection of U.S. Highway 221.
It is difficult to access from the road. One has to climb a wooded embankment and then walk about a 100 yards through a cow pasture.
This cemetery is located on private property. I found no history or ownership information, but it appears to be a small family cemetery.
The cemetery contains only three gravestones. These stones have weathered badly and they are difficult to read. The cemetery is located in a small clump of trees and it is fenced and gated. This grave site does not appear to be maintained at all.
I completed reading and transcribing this cemetery from all existing and legible headstones and markers in Oct 30, 2006.- Carl W Dykes

Holiday Brain Damage
Y'all, I think I have brain damage. I don't know when it happened, but it must have.
Let me tell you about it.
I began my Christmas shopping early this year, and I was so proud! I ordered several gifts from Shutterfly this year, and many of those were some of my earliest purchases.
Last week I began going back through my list to see if I had forgotten anyone, and what still needed to be wrapped.
"Hey, where is that gift for XXXX?" I thought. "Did it ever come?"
I went straight to the computer, pulled up my account information and saw Delivered next to that order number.
"What? Where is it?"
I looked in all of my closets, hide-e-holes and random places. I had no memory of receiving that gift.
I waited until Chris came home to question him. He's been known to put things away....I'm just saying.
He said he had not picked up a box, nor had he moved one around the house.
So I checked the UPS tracking number. Delivered to porch, it said.
I spent another day searching for the package, and even asked my neighbor if it got dropped off at her house by mistake.
With no luck, I finally decided to file a missing package claim with UPS.
I received a fast response saying they had begun an investigation into the missing package, and they would contact the originally sender--Shutterfly.
The next day I received a phone call from UPS. It was a real live person. He was very nice, and asked me some questions about the missing package. He said they would take care of altering the sender, and any follow-up I had could be taken care of by contacting Shutterfly.
That call was Saturday.
Monday morning I got an email from Shutterfly saying they were so sorry to hear I did not receive my order, and that they were re-producing it and sending it with expedited shipping at no cost to me.
These people are amazing!!
My worries were over.
Monday, I received another package from UPS, unrelated to this incident. The UPS man asked if I had any luck with my missing package. His computer pad said it was still under investigation. I told him Shutterfly was sending a new one, and I was very happy.
Tuesday night I wrapped the remaining presents, and placed them under my tree. As I was moving packages around to make room, I saw a package that I didn't recognize.
I turned it over and read the label, which was in my handwriting, "To RECEIVER OF THE PRESENT THAT I THOUGHT WAS LOST"
uh oh.
My lost package, the one that UPS was investigating and the one that Shutterfly was reproducing was UNDER MY CHRISTMAS TREE. Wrapped, no less, with my handwriting on it.
{{{enter brain damaged moment}}}
I sat there staring at the package as if it were an alien. How had I forgotten all about it? I tried to remember holding the items inside and inspecting them, as I must have done when I received it, but I couldn't remember!
I confessed to Chris that night that I must be losing my mind.
Yesterday, the UPS man came back to my house to deliver another package unrelated to the missing one, and he asked again about the missing package. He said his computer-sign here-thing said the package was still under investigation. Then he explained that "being under investigation" meant UPS was running reports on all the packages delivered in my neighborhood that night by my very nice UPS man. If they found more than one missing package, they would assume it was a thief. BUT, he said, there were no other packages missing from the night. uh oh. Then he said that he had been to my neighbors and to homes with similar house numbers to see if he had misplaced it.
The guilt sets in.
THEN he said that if UPS determines, through their investigation, that my package was the only one missing/stolen, UPS has the power to flag my house as a target for thief. uh oh. IF my house was tagged, it would mean I would have to sign for EVERY package UPS delivers to our address FOREVER.
I wanted to hit my knees and beg for his forgiveness, and promise under oath that it was a mistake, and that I was just brain damaged.
Instead, I stood in the cold, nodded and said, "Interesting."
He said he would let me know how the investigation goes, and happily left my front porch.
Seriously, I shrunk about 5 feet with guilt when I went back inside.
How had I managed to make all these people work overtime, and do things like "investigate" and "expedite" on accident??
I called Chris to report that my brain damage had set off all these consequences, and that we were about to be black balled by UPS FOREVER. Not to forget, Shutterfly was sending me more merchandise FOR FREE.
Darn the guilt!
I headed straight for my computer and started shooting off emails.
First to UPS: "I need to cancel this lost package claim. It has been recovered. I'm so sorry for this, and truly appreciate your helpful customer service."
Then to Shutterfly: "I filed a lost package report with UPS regarding a shipment from you. I have since canceled that claim because the original package has been recovered. Your customer service has been so wonderful, and you are in the process of re-producing my order. I'm happy to still accept this second order, as I assume it's too late to stop production. If there are any fees associated with this updated situation, I'm happy to pay them. This was a mistake on my part, and both Shutterfly and UPS have been wonderful to resolve this issue."
Can you feel the guilt?
After confessing my sins, I slept okay, knowing that I had come clean and confessed to my accidental lies.
And, guess what?
This morning I received a personal phone call from UPS, from a live person, saying how excited she was that I found my package and how much she appreciated me letting them know.
Then, an email from Shutterfly:
"Due to the highly-automated nature of our system, it is impossible to change or cancel an order once it is placed. Please keep the second order as gift from Shutterfly."
These people are wonderful!
I still have some guilt for causing so much trouble, but I feel a ton better that I came clean.
Even if it confirmed I have brain damage.

Saturday DesirebyJaneDoe31©
It had taken a little longer than I had expected, due to the rain pouring out of the midnight skies. Traffic had been slow, and I had been frustrated, stuck following traffic doing 10 miles below the speed limit. After all the anticipation, the chats over the last couple of months, I did not want him to think I had changed my mind. As I got out of the van, I received a text from John that read, "I'm here, I think." I quickly typed and sent, "Me too," as I walked towards the café.
As we had shared web cameras previously, neither had a problem recognising the other. I waved a quick hello before heading to the cash area to order my coffee. Coffee in hand, I moved to the table he had chosen. He stood to greet me, hugging me, exchanging the usual pleasantries.
Once seated, the conversation moved from topic to topic, flowing smoothly as the time passed.
After the first coffee, I began to get restless, disliking the inability to talk openly in the café, so suggested another coffee and a walk in the rain. Outside, I felt the spring chill in the air as the rain pelted the pavement around us.
"Perhaps a walk was not the best option. Have you ever been here before?" I asked as we made our way through the parking lot to my vehicle.
"Not really. I have a friend who lives on the river whom I have visited, but that is the extent of it," he replied. "Want a quick tour of my favourite places?" I asked as I finished my cigarette in the rain. "Sure!" he replied, settling himself in the passenger seat.
We drove through the small bedroom community to the local dock, where we parked and talked some more about our lives. As we sat there, at two o'clock in the morning, a car pulled in behind us. As the headlights swept across the van, I told him, "Police. They patrol this area quite a bit. I have never been here without seeing one."
As we silently watched, the officer stepped from his vehicle, flashlight in hand, and walked to my door. The window was already down as he scanned the interior with his lights, asking us what we were doing. I indicated with the coffee cup in my hand, "Just having a coffee and enjoying the night."
Satisfied with the answer-or the lack of alcohol on my breath-he asked if the vehicle nearby was one of ours. "No, it isn't," we replied in unison. "Was it here when you got here?" "Yes, it was." "Well, enjoy your evening," he said, nodding, as he strode back to his cruiser to check the other vehicle.
In the van, we chuckled, thinking someone had picked the wrong time and place to be "parking" as the officer pulled his car to face the only other car in the lot. We watched as he circled the SUV, shining his flashlight in each window, imagining the teenagers panicked inside. Evidently though, it was empty, because he quickly returned to the cruiser and left the lot.
From there, we drove to the riverside park. Parking once more, we could see across the river to the lights on the opposite shore. When it stopped raining, we decided a walk was in order. I led the way, pointing out the beach, the fountain, and other features of the park. Past the lifeguard stand, past the small lifeguards' office building, the walking trail led into the trees, and into the darkness.
We continued past, walking close to one another, bumping into one another on occasion. After one particularly playful hip bump, we turned to face each other...leaned in, began kissing...tentatively at first, with the kiss deepening as we explored one another's mouths, hands running over each other's clothes, feeling the bodies beneath... The kiss lengthened, tongues searching, exploring, and I discovered that my fingers had entwined in his hair, pulling him closer.
At some point, I pulled away and continued walking down the trail, telling him more of the features (that by this point he likely didn't care a bit for!). In an opening between the trees, we began kissing again. I could feel his hardness pressing into me as the kiss again became more passionate. I slid my hand between our bodies, and stroked his cock through his jeans.
He moaned into my mouth, and I think that was my undoing, wanting to hear more. I slowly undid his belt, as well as the button and zipper on his jeans, and broke the kiss, sliding down his body until my knees touched the ground and my face was level with his briefs. Slowly, with cold hands, I pulled his cock free of the briefs, and blew hot, moist breath on it as I leaned in.
I took his cock into my mouth slowly, keeping my hands behind my back. I wrapped my tongue around it, circling the head before sucking all of him into me, then releasing him and repeating the process. I sucked fast and deep, and I sucked slowly and teasingly...then I stood up to kiss him once more.
As we kissed, my hand stroked his length, cold on hot. He reached between us, sliding his hand beneath the waist of my jeans, slipping beneath the panties, finding my clitoris while we continued to kiss. He circled it with his finger, enticing moans from me. With that encouragement, he then delved deeper, finding the lips of my pussy, sliding easily between them and into my sodden heat.
There we stood, in the cold night, matching rhythms with our hands while our mouths stifled most audible reactions with our kisses. I was soaked, that slippery wetness that gives away the need and desire to be fucked, and we both knew it.
When my legs began to tremble, I stopped him, cursing my lack of condom and lack of skirt. I told him breathlessly that I wanted to fuck him, but would not, could not, without a condom. And that I was now freezing!
Slowly, he removed his fingers from me and brought them to his lips, tasting me slowly from his fingers while I watched. Then he did up his pants, and we began to walk, with him behind me, hands cupping my breasts through the layers of fabric, cock pressed into my ass, back to the van.
Along the way, he steered me to the lifeguard office building, pressing me into the brick wall, pinning me there, gyrating his hips into my ass, holding my hands above my head. I couldn't speak. The desire in me was too intense, and I was overwhelmed by my reaction to his body, his breath against my neck, his words whispered in my ear.
Thoughts of fucking him raw passed through my mind, images of him stripping my jeans then and there and taking me against the brick wall...I was light-headed with the imagined feeling of his cock sliding into the slippery wetness, quickly, eagerly, against my protests...but he did not.
Instead, he released me, and began to walk on.
We talked along the way, about how cold we were, about how much each of us were turned on, but to be honest, I don't remember much of the conversation. We reached the van and stepped in, turning on the ignition and the heat.
While the van warmed up, I told him I wanted to taste him, wanted him to cum in my mouth; I wanted him to cum on my breasts, to feel his cum on me, spreading it all over my chest. He pulled his cock, hard still-or again-free, and asked me to tell him my favourite role play while he stroked his cock.
"My favourite?" I asked playfully. "Hmmmm....I guess that would be the babysitter," I admitted.
I moved to a position, lying across the table between the seats, with my knees tucked on the drivers' seat, my head on his lap, and began...
"I am babysitting for a couple who have two young children, and it is well past midnight. I had expected a late night, so am curled up on the couch, half-asleep in my pyjamas when they return home. I am wearing a tank top, and small, thin shorts."
I stopped to take off my shirt, revealing the tank top beneath, allowing this visual man to get into my thoughts and my words, then rest my head back down on him, and continue the story.
"The couple I am babysitting for are rather inebriated, and the husband helps his wife to bed. I don't move, but can hear them behind me, heading up the stairs, her giggling and stumbling...him groaning at her drunkenness, and at his own. About twenty minutes pass, when I hear footfalls on the stairs once more. I hear the refrigerator door open and liquid being poured into a glass."
Then I hear the footsteps approaching the couch, where I lay. I close my eyes, pretending to sleep, but not so entirely that I cannot see."
As I recite this fantasy, he is slowly stroking his cock, watching my face as I talk...I am relaxed, enjoying the effect I am having on John.
"The husband comes around the couch, where my feet are, and I can see that he is only wearing a pair of loose boxers. Through them, he begins to rub himself, and I can see the outline of his cock as he runs his hand up and down, can see him growing harder through the thin material. He moves to the end of the couch, and seats himself at my feet. He slides the boxers to his knees, exposing his hard maleness. Lying on my side, it is tougher to see him now, but I don't dare move."
I am now speaking in a whisper to this married man beneath me, focusing intently on his hand, rubbing up and down his cock.
"Slowly, lightly, he moves his right hand to my leg, caressing slowly, gingerly. His left hand is still on his cock, and I wonder if he knows I am awake, and just exactly how much he has had to drink. I am fearful, but at the same time excited, and I can feel my body react to his touch, feel the muscles around my pussy clench and release."
"Oh, god, I want to roleplay that with you," says the man whose cock I am inches from. "You can. And more," I reply softly. "Now let me get back to my story!"
"He begins to add more pressure as he rubs, reaching my thigh. Still, I remain motionless, thinking it best that he believe I am asleep. He leans towards me on the couch, allowing his hand a farther stretch, and I feel his fingers dip beneath the thin fabric of my shorts, his hand stroking my left ass cheek, squeezing it briefly before moving on. With a whisper of a touch, his hand retreats along the crack of my ass, following it to the wetness of my young, tight pussy. I moan softly, unbidden, as his fingers caress me. He pulls his hand away, swiftly, worried that I will awaken."
"Now, I don't know what to do! I want him, but don't want to want him. And more than that, I don't want him to KNOW I want him! Quickly, I reach a decision, and I stretch, pretending still to be asleep, rolling onto my back, stretching my legs out, with one falling off the couch to the floor. In this, my shorts hug my pussy, and I know he must see the wetness if he has not already felt it on my clothing."
"I need to fuck you, you know?" John asks. "Feeling is mutual, babe, but not tonight," I reply. I return to the roleplay as he continues to slowly stroke his cock, twisting his hand over the head each time he reaches it.
"I now have to close my eyes, knowing he can see my face fully, so I can no longer see him. But I soon feel his hand wandering up my leg once more. I feel his weight shift, feel the couch move, and know he is now on his knees, leaning over me. I imagine him still stroking his cock as he watches me "sleep", as his fingers find their way back to the wetness that has coated me, made me slippery to the touch. And his touch is electrifying, sending shivers through my body. In my "sleep", my hips raise to meet his fingers, as he slides first one, then two inside me. He retreats again, removing his fingers. I feel his hands at my waist, slowly pulling my shorts off of me, moving to allow them to free one leg. He gently props my left leg on the back of the couch, bent at the knee. I am now spread, naked, before him. And still, I don't move. I am turned on by the fact that this man, over twenty years my senior, is enjoying the covertness, the sneakiness of playing with the babysitter while his wife and children are sleeping upstairs."
"Fuck! That is hot!" John says, speeding his tempo, pushing his hand down farther, until it hits his balls. "Mmmmm, now THAT is hot," I reply, looking from his cock to his face and back. He chuckles, "You like that?" "Yes, I like that, but I think you knew that already!" "Yeah, I probably did," he admits with a grin. I smile, returning to my roleplay once again.
"With my leg propped on the couch, he has an open view of my pussy, and I imagine him looking longingly at it while he continues to stroke his cock, pointing it straight at me. I feel his hand return, lightly touching me, exploring my body gently, sliding under the tank top to feel my breasts, pinching and rolling a nipple between his thumb and index finger. It hardens beneath his ministrations, and my back arches slightly, needing more. Another soft moan escapes my lips as he increases the pressure of his fingers. With the other hand, he slides the tank top to my neck, and I feel the cool air as he exposes me completely to his eyes. As he does so, I feel his cock press against my pelvis, against my pussy lips, and then I feel his mouth on my nipple, biting gently as his cock slides into me."
I pause in my story-telling long enough to lean towards John, sucking him slowly into my mouth. One suck, that was all, before I returned to my tale.
"He began to push further inside me, slowly, biting the nipple harder as he pressed his cock into me, keeping himself raised above me by leaning on one hand. I could feel his hardness stretching me, as I clenched him into me, until he was as deep as he could go. With a low growl, he bit my nipple hard, enough to hurt, and began pumping faster, in and out, hard.
His mouth released my nipple, and his hands grasped my shoulders, pulling me to him with each thrust. "Open your eyes, I know you are awake, and I want you looking at me when I cum in your sweet, tight pussy, you slut," he whispered into my ear. "I want you silent, or as quiet as you can be, but I want you to know exactly who it is that is making you cum, again and again. I can do this all night. The kids are asleep, and my wife was so drunk she passed out before her head hit the pillow, so I know she won't hear you. Now, open your eyes and look at me!" I did as he said, opened my eyes, and looked into his."
"You keep that up, you are going to make me cum!" John cautioned. "Isn't that what I am trying to do, though?" I asked mischievously. "Are you close?" I asked. "Fuck, I am so close! And I want to fuck you! Like that, and a few other ways too!" "Mmmm....you will, but I want to taste you tonight."
I moved his hand away and replaced it with my mouth...sucking hard and fast, feeling his hips buck upwards, pushing further, fucking my face. Within moments, I could feel his cum pulsing through the head, and I knew he would shortly cum in my mouth.
I began to suck quickly, just the mushroom-shaped head, and was rewarded with his hot shot in my mouth...I did not stop, but kept moving my mouth up and down his shaft as it softened...finally removing my mouth after a few minutes.
"Holy shit!" John exclaimed, "That was torture!" "Yeah, but a good torture...besides, I don't want you to have to go home and shower before sneaking into bed beside your wife. Now, you won't have to."
I sat up, buckled up, and drove him back to his car. As he exited the van, I asked, "So when are you coming to my place to join me in the hot tub?" He grinned, saying, "As soon as I can!"
He was just getting in his car as I drove away, heading home.
When I got home, I found my husband still awake, so I told him the details while he fucked me. Five hours later, we both fell asleep, satiated.

A US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) document leaked this week, reveals a new Samsung phone device model identified as "SM-T320". Zauba, an indian website that provide detailed information on top imported and exported products, revealed that the product in question is indeed a new tablet from Samsung.
Interestingly, the FCC document is still available online and shows the specifics of the tests carried. One of the figure that caught my eye is the below one, detailing the probable dimension of the device:

Robert Frost and William Carlos Williams have far more in common than their adherents sometimes acknowledge. The shared territory includes their interest in American idiom, and what Frost calls "sentence sounds," as fundamental. Beyond that profound matter of speech at the heart of poetry—and American speech at the heart of their artistic enterprise—Frost and Williams both struggle with the tangled, aspiring, somewhat demented project of American memory.
Beginning in February 2005 , Staten Island teens and adults will be doing what Poetry in The Branches was designed for: bumping into poetry and discovering its delights. The pilot year of this program will see Staten Island branches of The New York Public Library hosting six poetry-writing workshops for teens, and, for adults, a series of readings by stellar poets of their own and their favorite poets' work. On a Spring afternoon or evening, when a trip on the ferry adds an extra note of pleasure to your day, come hear these readings.
Derek Walcott and Glyn Maxwell discuss poetry and cultural politics in the United States and the Caribbean in an annual program honoring the late Katharine Washburn, co-editor of the anthology World Poetry and acclaimed translator.
In this talk, Vijay Seshadri will examine the origins and the scope of Bishop's visionary ambitions, her complicated, paradoxical relationship to the religious traditions that shaped her thought, and, finally, her ability to expose, in small poems and large, the fundamental questions underlying our experience.
A joint initiative with the Poetry Society of America, Branching Out: Poetry for the 21st Century is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Amber Flora Thomas, winner of the 2004 Cave Canem Poetry Prize, will read from her work, along with judge Harryette Mullen, and finalists Dawn Lundy Martin and Gregory Pardlo.
Iraqi poet Fadhil al-Azzawi, South African writer Breyten Breytenbach, and Spanish poet Joan Margarit Consarnau will gather at Poets House to read their work and discuss the role of poetry in the world today.
This reading by established and emerging Canadian poets celebrates the donation of an extensive collection of Canadian poetry to the Poets House library.
Come enjoy poetry and wildlife at the Central Park Zoo! Poets House has teamed up with the Wildlife Conservation Society to develop signage using poetry to elucidate the life of the wild and the urgency of conservation. This event celebrates the permanent installation of the signage. It will begin with the Feeding of the Seals and discussion with several of the zoo's naturalists, followed by readings by the poets.
In his talk, Carl Phillips will explore the ways in which Whitman is among the first to stake out forbidden territory (race, masculinity, morality) for American poetry and to find a form that persuasively enacts the poem's content. He will also consider the ways in which Whitman's poems continue to have a contemporary resonance and to illustrate what it has meant and continues to mean, on so many levels, to be American, for better and for worse.

Ben Askren wants to compete inside the world-famous Octagon, but he won't do it taking the path of Roy Nelson and Kimbo Slice, among others.
On Twitter recently, the former Bellator welterweight champion was asked if he would be willing to compete on The Ultimate Fighter, where the winner is guaranteed a contract with the UFC.
"Not a chance," responded Askren, who is rumored to be working on a possible deal to compete with ONE FC in Asia. The fighter himself also confirmed plans to train at Evolve MMA after beginning his fight camps at his current home, Roufusport, in Milwaukee.
Askren (12-0) is a former U.S. Olympic wrestler that saw his Bellator contract expire following a TKO win over Andrey Koreshkov this past July. He planned on signing with the UFC, and Bellator completely cleared him to do so, but UFC president Dana White has been lukewarm to the idea to date.
Nelson, a current UFC heavyweight, won TUF and was viewed as a possible title contender until a loss to Stipe Miocic. Slice, who lost to Nelson on the same season, competed inside the Octagon.
Others such as Rashad Evans, Forrest Griffin, Kenny Florian and Nate Diaz have all used TUF to put together long and successful UFC careers.

When desktop virtualization projects follow best practices, solutions can cost-effectively scale from hundreds to tens of thousands of concurrent users. However, when projects are improperly scoped for key requirements, such as total IOPS and storage capacity required per desktop, there can be a significant negative impact on the user experience, manageability and scalability.
Storage solutions supporting desktop virtualization environments must be flexible and keep per-desktop costs low -- without compromising performance, availability and scale, according to IDC, which stresses that the storage solution is "the most consequential part of the physical infrastructure" for enterprise desktop virtualization.

Ford Motor Co.'s Mercury brand will unveil a new tagline, "Live life in your own lane," when it breaks TV spots for the 2000 Sable on Oct. 18.
Replacing "Imagine yourself in a Mercury," the tag will be used in all model-year advertising and promotional material for the Lincoln-Mercury unit's brand.
"The new tagline speaks to this independent mindset, which essentially means our buyers are more inclined to out-think, rather than out-spend, their peers," said Jennifer Moneagle, group brand manager.
Mercury wouldn't reveal Sable spending, but according to Competitive Media Reporting, the automaker spent $23.1 million on the marque in 1998.
Simultaneously, Lincoln Mercury will upgrade its Web sites (mercuryvehicles.com and lincolnvehicles.com), making them more useful for car shoppers, it said.
Deborah Wahl, Lincoln Mercury marketing communications manager, said the sites were improved because "Lincoln and Mercury buyers are increasingly more reliant upon the Internet for their automotive shopping."
The revamped sites will include access to a third party (carclub.com), allowing shoppers to compare Lincoln Mercury vehicles' features with other brands.
It will also include "flash" movies to display vehicles.
The Sable advertising will show engineering enhancements on the new model, Ms. Moneagle said. One TV spot--"Pedal Woman"--shows a woman engineer who designed an adjustable pedal, making the car easier to drive for people of different heights.
In addition, Mercury will emphasize styling that differentiates Sable from the Ford Taurus. In the past, Sable had been a rebadged "twin" vehicle of the better-selling Taurus. The Sable will have different front and rear-end treatments, she said.
Sable should be moved further upscale, said Art Spinella, VP-general manager of CNW Marketing/Research. But "90% of Mercury intenders understand that Taurus is the same vehicle" and don't want to pay the higher price.
Mr. Spinella said Mercury's profile of its buyers as individualistic is in line with research, with one caveat--they are "very strongly, very staunchly domestic-make customers."
He added: "They tend to want to be independent in the context of being very strongly domestic buyers."
Mercury plans to sign a major marketing partnership with Barnes & Noble, but officials wouldn't reveal details.

SILVER POCKETS FULL (The 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays of August 2014)
This is the only time you will see this phenomenon in your lifetime.
August, this year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years. The Chinese call it 'Silver Pockets Full.'

This is a hoax. While the calendar shown for August 2014 is correct, August has this pattern far more often than "once every 823 years." In fact, this will be the third time in the still-young 21st century that August has looked like this. It happened in 2003 and 2008, and will happen again in 2025.

In any year (not a leap year) where January 1st falls on a Wednesday, then August will have five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays – just like this year. In a leap year where January 1st falls on a Tuesday, the set of five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in August will also occur. Check out 2003, 2008, 2014, 2025, 2031, 2036… the list goes on.
Remember, there are only 7 days in the week, and January 1st must fall on one of them!!

Let's say, this is a real 'canular'. Any month having 31 days has 3 days having 5 weeks (4 times 7) plus 3 equals 31. Mandatory these days are the 29/30 and 31. So the problem is to see when the 31 of August is a Sunday. From 1904 to 2025 (122 years) I counted 17. So an avarage of 122 divided by 17 equals 7.18 years.
Steve Says:

… There are two identical moon phases in the month with 5 weekends in August. I see the 5 pattern frequently, but I think this is more about measuring the harvest time and moon phases or something like that … but as a student of Chinese language for a few years now, I've never heard of this. In our class we celebrate every Chinese holiday and every possible Chinese event. I will ask our teacher at the next class if she ever heard of it, but I agree that it is probably a hoax.
Lonnie McIntyre Says:

Dear Edward C., It is stated this is the only time you will see Friday, Saturday and Sunday having 5 days each during the month of August. You made mention it happened in 2003 & 2008. There are 3 days which do have 5 days each in August of those two years however not Friday, Saturday & Sunday. In saying that you however are correct about 2025 as August does have 5 days each for Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Craig Williamson Says:
August 1st, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Yes, but there is a more analytical approach. First, any 31 day month that begins on a Friday will have 5 full weekends. There are only 14 annual calendars: one for each day of the week that new years day falls for a standard, 365 day year, that's 7; and one for each day of the week that new years day falls for a leap year, 366 day, that's another 7 – total 14. No other possibilities exist.
When the new year begins on a Wednesday, August 1 will be on Friday for regular years but the year must begin of Tuesday in a leap year for August 1 to be Friday.
Since there are 52 weeks and one day in a standard year, new years day will advance by one day of the week for the next year. New years 2015 will be on Thursday and 2016 on Friday, but 2017 will be on Sunday ( extra day skipped). Thus one can simply go forward through the years to see which standard years will begin on Wednesday or which leap year will begin on Tuesday. The same analysis can be made for the other 7 months having 31 days.
Al Says:
August 1st, 2014 at 4:51 pm
Dear Craig Williamson,
How can I and others not appreciate your analytical break-down of all of these five-weekend months?
We thank you,

Many emotions joy, sadness, fear, doubt and horror.....journey picks up where Kitchen
House left off...excellent piece of historical fiction during a shameful period of our nation's
This book was so good, as was "The Kitchen House". I can't wait for more from this author!!
I could not put this book down.
Loved the style of writing and the story line.
Also read "The Kitchen House."
A very good read also.
This book was okay, however I found myself enjoying the kitchen house novel much better. It was interesting to see how Jamie's life progressed after the kitchen house but as for the other main characters from the kitchen house not much was really told of them which made me a little disappointed.
Haven't read "The Kitchen House," but now have it on hold. This does give enough backstory to make sense. Jamie grows from a terrified 13 year old to a confident adult, yet the fear of what he knows of his own background keeps him from being fully mature. This story forces him to grow up. As it comes to an end, I began to think that another in the series just has to be coming. Too many questions remain unanswered, and too many of the characters need to be filled in. That's not a criticism, but a measure of how good this book is!
This book picks up where the author's previous book The Kitchen House ended. It can easily be read on it's own but I would highly recommend both books so if you think you will like this type of story then start with The Kitchen House. They are fast, high interest reads with great characters.
An exciting and emotional story! I recommend reading The Kitchen House first as this is a sequel. Loved both books.
Loved The Kitchen House, so was excited to see a sequel come out. Enjoyed this one as well. Didn't remember much about Jamie from the first book, but liked him in this book, flaws and all. Part of the book is Jamie's backstory, and the other part is his rescue of Pan from the slave traders. Good supporting characters, too - little Pan who is a ray of sunshine, Robert the dedicated servant and friend, teenaged Addie who is a force to be reckoned with. A good family drama type story with adventure and intrigue. Recommend.
