$20K for police car upgrades
Township Council approves ordinance to install new software, hardware in patrol cars
VERNON — The Vernon Township Council unanimously approved paying $20,000 to equip eight patrol cars with e-ticket software and hardware.
Councilman Dan Kadish expressed concern during the first reading of the ordinance on Feb 10. The phrase "down-payment" was used in regards to the $20,000 price tag for the software and hardware. The ordinance has since been amended to reflect the purchase more clearly and to specify that $20,000 is the total, one-time cost for the e-ticket program's installation.
According to Council President Brian Lynch, the ordinance is part of the "Capital Investment Fund," which is separate fund from the township's budget.
"It is going to enable the Police Department to move forward with enforcement of the laws and be able to find out critical information on vehicles that are being stopped and are being ticketed for violations in Vernon Township in a much quicker way than if they called the dispatch center," Lynch said.
The Vernon Police Department already has two cars equipped with e-ticket devices, which have been in service for four months. The software produces instantaneous information about the driver, according to Mayor Victor Marotta said at a previous meeting.
"The productivity in terms of secondary tickets has jumped," explained Marotta. "It formerly took thirteen mouse clicks to find out if a driver's license is suspended. Now, officers can just swipe driver licenses and immediately become informed of any violation attached to the driver's records."
This new technology is part of the plan to expand and enhance Vernon's police force. In addition to e-ticketing software and hardware, the police department has received new vehicles and devices such as a license plate scanner in 2013.
Along with the new equipment, a completely rearranged team of officers are striving to improve the town's police presence in 2014.

OCEAN RIDGE — In the ongoing battle to save its seriously eroded beaches, the Town Commission Monday took additional steps to force regulatory agencies to return sand to its shores.
The commission directed Town Manager Lester Baird to write a letter to Palm Beach County ``urging it to obtain permits and funding`` to dredge the tidal shoals at the Lake Worth Inlet and deposit the sand so that it can continue on its natural path southward, to the town`s beaches.
Commissioners have in the past contended that the town`s beaches are not receiving their fair share of sand from the sand transfer plant at the Boynton Inlet.
The plant is operated by the South Lake Worth Inlet District for Palm Beach County. It is designed to compensate areas south of the inlet for sand that has its natural southerly flow blocked by a jetty at the north side of the inlet.
Commissioner Eric Mangione said state and federal funds are available for the dredging project.
The commission also directed Town Attorney Paul Nicoletti to continue work on a suit the town plans against the county and the South Lake Worth Inlet District.
The town wants the courts to force the county and the district to put almost twice as much sand on the beach as is now being pumped. About 80,000 cubic yards now are being transferred annually.
The commission also requested that Baird write to two town property owners to ask if they would be interested in obtaining permits from the Department of Natural Resources to repair two groins located on their property.
Groins consist of a series of pilings and connecting beams that extend into the water perpendicular to the shore. They are designed to trap sand as it moves southward.

Buying a Used Car? Ask These Questions First.
Sometimes the best cars have a few miles under the hood. Buying a used vehicle is a great way to get into the car of your dreams without breaking the bank. But because it's had a few trips around the block, there are some things you should know before you buy.
Asking some key questions — before you see the car, and when you meet with the seller — will help you decide if this is a ride worthy of your dream journey. Take a look:
On the Phone
Ask these questions on the phone with the owner or dealer of the used car. The answers could save you a trip.
Why are you selling? This is a great question for a private seller. If the answer seems vague, it could mean there's something they don't want you to know. This question can be a bargaining tool, too. If you find out the seller wants to sell as soon as possible, you could get could get a better deal!
What's the overall condition? Keep this question broad and let the seller take it from there. They might bring up something you wouldn't have thought to ask about.
Any accidents? A vehicle history report and the car's title should be able to tell you the whole truth, but it's still a good idea to ask. If the answer is yes, ask about the extent of the damage and the shop that did the repairs.
How many owners? You can get a good idea of any recurring problems by finding out how many owners a car has had. More than two might be too many.
How many miles? Total mileage is helpful info to have for a couple reasons. It can be a good indicator of how the car was driven — for example, if the miles are high because the owner had a long commute, that's usually better than miles piled up on short, stop-and-go trips. And, knowing total mileage will help when researching car insurance quotes.
If you're standing next to the car, face-to-face with the seller, it must mean this one was worth a closer look. These five questions should come in handy at this point in the process.
Can I see maintenance records? A car that's been taken care of will take care of you. Ask for receipts for any muffler, brakes, tires and other hardworking parts that've been replaced. If the seller can't produce the paperwork, you might want to think twice.
Can I have my mechanic look at it? It's always a good idea to have a licensed mechanic give the car a good once-over. If everything is in working order, the seller should have no problem have an expert take a look.
Can I take it for a test drive? This is a biggie. The only way to truly tell if this is the car for you is to try it on for size. If the seller is hesitant to let you drive it, you can bet there's something they're not telling you. And while you're on that drive, know what to look for.
Ask for a better price. Did you get the answers you wanted? Did the test drive feel just right? Then it's time to talk numbers. Don't be afraid to negotiate. Ask the seller how low they're willing to go. You won't know if you don't ask!
The moral of this dream-car story: a little Q&A can go a long way in helping you find the used car you deserve. Happy car buying and drive safely!

The Sathya Sai International Leadership Programme (SSILP) for Young Adults (YAs) was developed in 2014 to provide standardised leadership training to YAs from all over the world, based on Sathya Sai Baba's teachings. The course covers both foundational knowledge and practical application in society. Leading by example, YA leaders took the initiative to develop the programme in partnership with senior leaders of the SSIO. The programme is thus enriched with years of experience of senior devotees, modern resources created for YAs, and most importantly, the eternal and universal teachings of Sathya Sai Baba. The goal of the SSILP is to develop future leaders who will not only disseminate Sathya Sai Baba's message through rendering service to society, but also lead a rejuvenation of human values throughout the globe.
Objectives of the SSILP
- To raise a generation of young adults who are exemplars of the teachings and philosophy of life as taught by Sathya Sai Baba.
- To give young adults a range of interpersonal communication skills for forging good relations with all officers and members of the SSIO.
- To equip young adults with the tools and techniques that will help them foster good values such as love, compassion, humility, and respect to elders; thereby creating a positive and loving environment at home, in the SSIO, and in their local communities.
- To develop skills for planning and implementing successful projects.
- To develop the capacity to lead, manage, and motivate volunteer team members.
- To develop mentoring skills for grooming future Young Adult leaders for smooth transitions and continuity.
- To acquire knowledge and develop skills to become ideal leaders.
For further details please contact your Zone or National YA Coordinators or email@example.com
2018 Programme
Six modules will commence in January 2018 and will be delivered online. Three modules will be delivered during a four-day SSILP Residential Course in Prasanthi Nilayam during 21st – 24th July 2018.
YAs who are within the age group of 21 to 40 and are active in the YA programmes in their respective countries/region are eligible to join. It is also open to candidates who are above the age of 40, but are closely associated with the YA programmes as advisors and/or members of national councils.

02.10.2007 Alter: 11 Jahre 31.08-02.09.2007 - Wine Cup 2007 'Austrian Open' (en)
Tony Le Moignan retained the Wine Cup (Austrian Open)
The 4th Wine Cup for the Austrian Open was held from 31 August to 2 September 2007 at Wolkersdorf, a small town of 6,000 people about 30 km NNE of Vienna.
The entry of 12 consisted of eight Surbiton members, hardened travellers and bon viveurs, Le Moignan father (holder) and son (James, 17) and two local players, namely Heinz Hackl and Leopold Walderdorff. Heinz is Wolkersdorf's answer to George Noble, a croquet enthusiast who, with the help of 12 fellow club members, has developed a really excellent 2 lawn club on what was a "Fistball" court (a German version of handball in which the ball can bounce once). The Fistballers have moved onto other premises, leaving the croquet players with sole use of an area 80 yards long by 40 yards wide. At present, there are two 6/7th size courts (24 x 30 yards) but, given the plans to erect a large climbing wall within a few yards of Court 1's north boundary, money will be made available to move the courts away from the wall and turn them into full-size courts. The soil is basically clay, giving firm hoop settings, and Heinz mowed the lawns every morning before play with the result that the speeds were best described as Friday "very nice", Saturday "quite pacy" and Sunday "distinctly quick". They were the fastest surfaces I have played on in two seasons. A few slopes were evident but taking them into account was fair compensation for the smaller size. When they are full size, if mown to the same level, they will be a considerable challenge.

Golden Retrievers - Find Out Around These Dogs
Among the varieties of dog breeds, Golden Retriever is one of the most well-known. Due to their prowess in retrieving a shot game without damaging them, they are being known as "retrievers". These dogs enjoy playing in waters. They are quite obedient and highly trainable. This breed of dog is also clever that's why they are brought along by rescuers during search and rescue missions. In addition, they can efficiently aid blind and deaf folks. Mentioned below are the significant things that you need to know about these dogs.
Golden Retriever has various regional variations and this is the key reason why they have different attributes. Nonetheless, most of them have similar characteristics. The color of black labrador cross golden retriever their coat will play somewhere between the shade of golden to cream. This dog breed is medium-large in size with thick inner coat providing them warmth during cold temperature especially when they are outdoors. However, they have water-resistant outer coat enabling them to play in the water conveniently. The ears of the Golden Retriever are fairly short and their head is wide. Their muzzle has well-defined stop. The shade of their nose could either be brownish black or black and when speaking about their eyes, these are typically dark brown in color.
This naturally clever dog is child-friendly since they're well-mannered, patient, playful, and gentle. They do not display distressing behaviors when they are surrounded with people and other dog breeds. This dog look up to their caregiver, thus they should show leadership in order for this dog breed to be happy. In fact, ill-behaviors can be averted to develop as long as you are a leader who is firm, calm and positive. It is critical to provide a Golden Retriever with exercises that will stimulate them physically and mentally on a regular basis. If they are kept indoors with no exercise, they will become hyperactive and destructive. Golden Retriever seldom attacks strangers because they are good-natured, but they can be excellent watch dogs because they can bark loudly.
These dogs need less maintenance in grooming even though they shed greatly. The frequency of giving them a bath could be every two months, depending if it is really needed. However, you must put dry shampoo to their coat frequently. It is advised that you use a firm bristle brush. Since their inner coat is pretty thick, brushing them properly is necessary. Bald patches are indicators that they are not feeling well.
As this dog needs to do outdoor exercises, they must live in country environments with open lawn. Nonetheless, your lawn should be fenced since they have the tendency to break out. For as long as daily exercise needs are achieved, you can let your Golden Retriever live with you in your apartment.
This breed is surely the ideal pet for people with an active lifestyle. As a matter of fact, Golden Retriever is a good running or walking partner. Feeding them beyond the correct amount is not recommended since they can gain weight quickly. Make sure to take care of them by taking them to their vet for routine check-ups because they easily catch skin allergies.

By halftime of New Trier's sectional championship game Friday night in Bensenville, the Trevians had built a 28-point lead over Glenbrook South.
But that's not the amazing part.
New Trier only had 37 points.
It gets better, at least for New Trier. The Trevians shut out Glenbrook South in the first quarter, which ended with the Trevians on top 20-0. They hit eight of the 11 shots they took.

Stepping Stones to Crystal Basics
Beginning your journey with crystals can be confusing and a little overwhelming; it seems there are so many crystals, and so much to learn! Many of us, when first starting to learn about crystals will be utterly engrossed: finding books about crystals, and reading up on the pieces you already have, while making lists of the stones you feel you should be adding to your collection.
For the beginning collector, there are also questions about how to care for your new collection, and how to use them. Collected here are some of the most commonly asked questions about caring for your crystals.
Question: How should I carry my stones?
Answer: Any way you would like.
Jewelry -- A nurse friend did not want to call attention to herself as one of "those people" at work. She would wear pretty crystal earrings, a stone bracelet or a gemstone pendant. Wearing crystal jewelry allowed her to discreetly keep the crystal energy around her at all times without being judged by her closed-minded coworkers. To be most effective, stones should touch the skin and wearing jewelry is a perfect way in which to do this.
Clothing -- A friend once told me she always carried stones with her to work... in her bra! She laughingly told me that if she put them in her pocket, she had a tendency to lose them, else she would take them out and forget where she had put them. I have known men to stick a stone in their sock.
Alternatively, you can use a small pouch for your stones. Silk and/or velveteen are my favorites. The pouch can go in your pants pocket or jacket, and your crystals are less likely to fall out when they are in a pouch too.
We have a nice selection of pouches at http://www.healingcrystals.com/Velveteen_Crystal_Pouches_w_drawstring.html
Bowl of Crystals -- A friend of mine used to work at a men's correctional facility. She began putting a bowl of tumbled stones on her desk. She soon noticed that she was much calmer and less stressed at work, but also that the inmates were drawn to her bowl of stones and would often choose a stone as they were talking to her. Shortly after, she began gifting the stone of choice to the inmate that chose it.
Another longtime friend had a bowl of stones on a table close to her door. Before she left each day, she would choose one stone and give an intention to the stone. The stone went into her pocket and off she would go to work as a social worker. For example, if she chose Rose Quartz as her "Stone of the Day", she would say something to the effect of, "Today, I carry with me the loving energy of Rose Quartz. My intention is to show love to everyone I meet this day." If someone was upset and yelled at her, she could put her hand in her pocket and hold the stone, reminding herself of the intent she had chosen, and loving energies of the rose quartz. If she heard gossip from coworkers, she would walk away and again touch the stone to remind herself of her intention.
Question: Is it alright to carry more than one stone at one time? Will they all "get along"?
Answer: Absolutely!
I know of friends who carry pockets full of stones, wear stone jewelry, have stones in the car and on their desk at work — all at the same time! How few or how many stones you carry is truly a personal preference.
And yes, all the crystals will "get along" just fine. Crystals are full of loving, divine energy; they work in concert with each other — always.
Care should be taken though to make sure that if you are carrying more than one stone in your pocket, that they are not a mix of softer stones like Selenite, Celestite or Calcite and harder stones. The softer stones may get chipped, dented or dinged by the harder stones.
Question: How long should I carry a stone for the maximum healing effect?
Answer: You can carry your stones for as long as you wish, or as long as you feel they are still working for you.
Many times, folks will change out their crystals, choosing to carry one or a few for one week and then making a different selection for the next week, etc. If you want to carry the same stone(s), I would recommend cleaning them at the end of the week to remove any energy they have stored up. Use your favorite cleansing technique, and reprogram them with your intentions so they are ready for the following week.
Question: Why do I need to clean (cleanse) my crystals?
Answer: Crystals absorb the energy around them. Cleaning is a way to remove the dense, negative energy that accumulates within.
Crystals absorb your energy and the energy around them. They comfort you when you are sad, angry, hurt, ill, etc. Sometimes, they just need a good cleaning to remove all of this dense energy (negativity, illness, sadness, etc) to make them new and fresh again.
Question: How often should I clean my crystals?
Answer: When you "feel" they are no longer working well. They may feel dense or less energetic.
My best answer is let your intuition be your guide. However, if you are just starting out and do not yet completely trust your intuition, here is a good guideline. If you use a stone daily, it should be cleaned once a week. If used once or twice a week, clean monthly. If the stone has been placed in your home, sacred space or healing room to be used to collect negative or unwanted energies, once a month will be fine. If you feel it needs to be done sooner than that, then follow your intuition.
Here are a few articles currently on HealingCrystals.com that can help you choose a variety of methods for cleaning your crystals:
Methods for Clearing Your Crystals
Crystal Cleaning/Clearing
Question: What exactly does programming a crystal mean?
Answer: For me, it is simply placing your intent into the crystal.
The ritual can be as detailed or as simple as you like. I have been known to simply hold the crystal and say, "I could really use your help with something."
If you prefer a more step by step process for Programming your Crystals, I highly suggest reading these articles:
Crystal Programming Thoughts and Suggestions
Methods for Programming Your Crystals
Question: What crystals should I start my collection with?
Answer: There are no wrong crystals!
As long as you are comfortable listening to your intuition, choosing crystals you are simply drawn to is absolutely fine… there are no wrong crystals. When choosing a crystal, hold it in your hand and see how it "feels". Does your hand tingle or feel warm? Using your intuition and choosing those that you are drawn to is exactly right.
It is also okay to research by metaphysical property, color or availability.
Question: What crystals are good for a beginner's collection?
Answer: Although there are no wrong crystals, it is good to have a range of healing crystals.
Although there are no wrong crystals for a beginner's collection, it is nice to build a collection on some good "all-round" stones. Some basic recommendations include Clear Quartz (a good all-around healer), Amber (protection), Hematite (grounding), Malachite (healing), Amethyst (consciousness), Black Tourmaline (protection), Rose Quartz (for healing and unconditional love), Lapis Lazuli (intuition), and Carnelian (creativity and harmony).
Here are some nice crystal collections that we have put together:
Chakra Set - Healer Special (21pcs.)
Chakra Set - Tumbled Stones (7pcs.)
Chakra Set - Crystal Cabochons (7pcs.)
Tumbled Stone Grab Bags:
Finally, please remember there is no one way to use crystals, no one right or wrong way. There is YOUR way. Always listen to that voice inside and follow its guidance. Everyone has their opinion on what should be done, how it should be done and when it should be done, and that is great! But when it comes to your crystals, remain true to yourself and follow your heart. Enjoy!

MyArduinoLight (Programming Arduino in Pure C from Xcode)
Mar 15, 2012, 08:09 pm
I got my first Arduino a month ago (an Uno) and have been playing with it every day since, including making a light-up hat from a Lilypad and putting together a Mintduino (breadboard Arduino clone) and a Prototino (soldered version).
In my day job I'm a film producer, but from 1992-1998, I was a computer game designer and programmer working in San Francisco. More recently I've done some hobby iPhone programming.
I love the Arduino but was not crazy about the IDE. I wanted to be able to write and compile programs from Xcode 4.3, and at the same time understand exactly how all the Arduino functions worked and re-build and link them individually. That allows me to keep my programs as small and fast as possible.
Building on the digitalWriteFast and digitalReadFast macros (and the ATmega328 data sheet and many online tutorials for AVR-LibC), I created a single C file called MyArduinoLight which contains all of the Arduino library functions I use. Functions are only linked in as needed, so a simple blinking LEDs is less than 200 bytes of code, as opposed to 1K with the Arudino's built-in overhead. The functions I have so far are: pinMode, digitalWrite, digitalRead (which are all single assembly-line macros whenever the pin is known at compile time); initTimers (for PWM), analogWrite, stopAnalogWrite; analogRead, readAVCC (to determine ADC's reference voltage); mills, micros, delay, delayMicroseconds (which just macro to AVR-LibC's _delay_ms and _delay_us if not using the Timer interrupts); EnableInt0, EnableInt1, DisableInt0, DisableInt1 (for external interrupts); shiftInMSB, shiftInLSB, shiftOutMSB, shiftOutLSB; serialBegin, serialWriteChar, serialReadChar, serialWriteString, serialWriteNumber. (I especially wanted a much smaller serial library that only compiled in for DEBUG builds.)
Although I know C++ and Objective-C very well and think object-oriented programming is great for large projects, I decided to stay away from C++ and the overhead that comes with it. For every function and macro I added, I would check and compare the assembly code the compiler generates in order to make sure the code was as small and as efficient as I could make it. When programming DOS and Apple II games in the 1980s we had to do the whole thing in assembly, so I also love low-level programming and seeing how small and streamlined I can make things.
I'm not sure any of this is of interest or use to anyone, and it's mostly a collection of other people's work just put together, but I'm eager to share the experience if anyone is looking to do something simliar.

Nice project!
Are you using Makefile and external tool-chain or do you rely directly on Xcode built-in compiler?
I'm also trying to use Xcode to develop the sketches for Arduino and chipKIT boards --with Wiring boards on the pipes.
Please refer to the
Arduino on Xcode Project -- Official Thread
Main issue isn't Arduino or chipKIT or Wiring or dealing with multiple platforms, but Xcode.
Xcode template keywords are poorly documented, and Xcode inner structure is rather a secret.
So any hint to improve the template would be highly appreciated!
Among other open points: how to improve
the template sets the sketch as c++ code and not plain text, for code-sense
the template populates the Sources List for code-sense
instead of having the serial console in a separate Terminal window, integrate it in Xcode debug pane
Best regards,

I setup each Xcode project as an External Build Project, so I can compile just by hitting the run button in Xcode, but really it is just executing make on the Makefile. So it is the same as typing make on the command-line, although at least Xcode is able to interpret any warnings and errors correctly. (i.e. Warnings are highlighted in yellow and errors in red in Xcode and its easy to jump between and fix any problems, rather than reading the line numbers from the command-line and then going jumping to the line in a text editor.)
I'm using the build tools that come with CrossPack-AVR and I just link each program with my version of the Arduino library: MyArduinoLight.c. (I just added Tone and PC change interrupts today.) So I can't compile .ino or .pde sketches directly -> at a minimum, I would have to add in an "int main()" function that calls setup() with a while (1) loop that calls loop(), just as the Arduino IDE automatically adds. (Of course, I don't bother making a setup or loop function for my own projects, but when I want to run someone's Arduino sketch, that's all I add.)

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the detailed answer.
I was just wondering you were using Xcode built-in compiler to address the AVR micro-controller...
It's a real pity Xcode is so closed and poorly documented.

In addition to prescription medication, many individuals with dementia use herbal medicine, supplemental nutrition, or other alternative therapies to help treat their disease's progression and its symptoms. Diet and physical activity may help slow the progression of the illness.
A healthy diet has been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and may also help slow progression of the disease. Specifically, eating fish and leafy green vegetables (for example, spinach and romaine lettuce) and cruciferous vegetables (for example, broccoli and cauliflower) has a positive effect. A colorful diet may also be important because fruits and vegetables that are high in color often contain chemicals called antioxidants that help protect cells from damage. Other foods being studied for possible brain-protecting effects include turmeric, a yellow spice used to make some curries and soy protein.
Physical activity and exercise appear to protect the health of the brain and have been associated with less mental decline with age – now studies are looking at whether they can help slow progression of dementia.
Ginkgo Biloba
The most commonly mentioned herbal medicine in the treatment of dementia symptoms is ginkgo biloba, an extract taken from the leaves of the ginkgo tree. This extract is rich in antioxidants and is commonly used to improve a wide range of bodily functions, from circulation to mental function. There is not a lot of evidence that proves the benefit of ginkgo biloba for dementia patients, but in general it seems to have few side effects. It may prevent or delay the onset of dementia and may even help slow the progression of the disease.
Other Supplements
Other supplements used by individuals with dementia include supplemental nutrition such as:
As with gingko biloba, vitamin E and selegline are rich in antioxidants. Low levels of vitamin E over an extended period of time have been linked to the development of dementia, but it is not clear how its use as a supplement can affect dementia once it has been diagnosed. The hormone melatonin, normally secreted by our own bodies, can help individuals who have insomnia and other problems related to the sleep-wake cycle, such as sundowning (symptoms getting worse at night).
Eating a lot of fish has been observed to be associated with a reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease. Currently, studies are looking at whether taking fish oil or DHA, a fatty acid found in fish, might slow down damage to the brain in Alzheimer's.
Many herbal and over-the-counter supplements are not monitored or regulated as carefully as prescription medications, so be sure to ask your doctor if and how much of a supplement should be used.
Complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) encompasses a wider range of treatments and approaches — such as acupuncture and homeopathic medicine — that have previously been outside the scope of regular medicine. In recent years, more doctors are recommending these treatment to supplement medications or more traditional treatments.
Individuals with dementia may benefit from massage therapy or acupuncture. Whereas massage therapy stimulates movement and the flow of blood and lymph in the body, acupuncture is thought to correct and improve the flow of the body's energy, or Qi. Regardless of their focus, both massage therapy and acupuncture provide the opportunity for touch and the release of stress and pain that may underlie many of the behavioral and psychiatric problems that can arise in individuals with dementia. Other therapies, such as art and music therapy or aromatherapy, may help individuals with dementia remember and experience memories more fully through the use of familiar colors, sounds, and smells.
As with herbal supplements, the field of CAM treatments and therapies is not always strictly regulated or controlled. It is important when seeking out these treatments to inquire about a practitioner's experience and certification.

We are currently at vCenter 5.0. I am getting some push to upgrade to 5.1, but with all of the horror stories I have heard about "single sign on", I am hoping to skip 5.1 and go straight to 5.5 (not right away, but in a few months if we hear about no major problems). Will VSC 4.2 work with vCenter 5.5, or do we have to wait for VSC 5.0 to be released?
Solved! SEE THE SOLUTION
We too are planning to upgrade to either vSphere 5.5 or 5.1 within the next few weeks. Currently we're running vSphere 4.1 and would like to skip 5.1 and go straight to 5.5. Hopefully we'll get a response from Netapp regarding support. I know 5.5 was just released but it has got to be better and bring more functionality than 4.1.
Throw my hat into this ring. I've been looking all over and have come up with nothing. I'm also on 5.0U2 looking to skip 5.1. Do we need to wait for VSC 5.0 or what?
We went from 5.1u1 to 5.5 and has some hiccups with the upgraded process from the CD. Ended up with a complete re-install of the vCenter. It is highly imperative to read the knowledge base articles that were put out before attempting upgrade(s) of current systems.
VSC 5.0 is still not available, VSC 4.2 will still connect to vCenter 5.5, we use VSC mostly for backups, that is still working, but we do see errors on cloning virtual machines, have not had time to determine if it's a NetApp thing or a vSphere 5.5 thing.
I'm still amazed that no one from NetApp's "virtual team" or someone dealing with VSC has even chimed into give their two cents. The original post was 4 days ago. Is there another posting on the communities or forum site that already provided an answer.
I would have to guess that Netapp has at least tested 4.2 with either the GA or Beta release of Vsphere 5.5 (Esxi 5.5 and vCenter 5.5) and could somewhat give guidance on what may work with 4.2 and what may not work. And also if they recommend waiting to go to VSC 5.0 because 4.2 with vsphere 5.5 is a hit or miss on certain features. Any feedback from Netapp is greatly appreciated.
VSC 5 was demonstrated at VMWorld 2013 and it was understood would be released around the same time. Since vSphere 5.5 moved away form the VIC for many things, I would expect VSC 5 to be out by now? Or at least Gold Beta for Partners that need to be ready to support vSphere 5.5
Thanks everyone for the replies. Sounds like 4.2.1 or 5.5 will be the way to go. We rely heavily on SnapManager for SharePoint, so I am not going to take the chance of upgrading to 5.5, keeping VSC 4.2, and have it break SMSP.
Maness - thanks. Do you have a tentative release date for 4.2.1 and possibly 5.0. Having some type of date will greatly help with the planning on our end.

Ok, so I haven't posted anything in months. This is not for lack of content. Over and over things happen that I think - wow, that might be interesting to write about and reflect on later. Things like, my youngest's first year in soccer and his embarassingly terrific team, or the way he gets so excited when the ball comes to him, he forgets to kick it. Things like this whole homeschooling odyssey: the good - moments of wonder and excitement, the bad - hours of playing the rubber pencil game, and the ugly - mostly my temper in the aforementioned moments. Things like B's amazing soccer exploits and his growing ability to achieve academically. Other things like karate, T's awesome new teacher, the science and technology festival on the national mall, and Lego league.
But, start adding this stuff up, man - no wonder I'm so tired. Between the stress of waiting for a personnel thing, and dealing with obstreporous colleagues as program chair, while homeschooling in the back of my office, and keeping that down low while I teach over 100 college students... between getting two kids to piano, keeping an after-school babysitter here (most days, meeting the bus when not), getting a kid to karate three nights a week, another two soccer two, and a third to soccer one, and soccer games Saturday... between getting a kid to Lego team three days a week, reading to the second grade class sometimes, helping with second grade homework, and helping the other kid through his Lego project stuff, and grading college papers... between doing laundry (sometimes), folding mountains of it (rarely), and remembering to feed the kids... between ordering Halloween costumes, dressing kids up, and remembering to feed the dog... at the moment - there just isn't that much left. And, that may explain (partly) why I've put on some weight and hardly ever find time to exercise (and while I generally consider exercise a priority - I am just tapped out).
Don't take this as a statement that I am busier than everyone - frankly, everyone I know is just too damn busy.
I also recognize that I am pretty fortunate. We both have jobs we enjoy, our kids are mostly healthy, we are mostly healthy, and we live in a house we love. Dh is helpful - I am not doing it all alone.
Sorry, there wasn't a point here, just an explanation with a bit of a groan.

Since her graduation from the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in 2011, Estonian mezzo-soprano Kai Rüütel has been engaged at Royal Opera House, Dutch National Opera, Teatro Real, Vlaamse Opera, Gran Teatro del Liceu, Scottish Opera, Théâtre du Capitole Toulouse, and Dallas Opera. A consummate singer and actress, she has collaborated with directors such as Robert Carsen, Laurent Pelly, Keith Warner and Calixto Beito.
In the 2017/18 season Rüütel can be heard as Zweite Dame Die Zauberflöte at Theater an der Wien as well as Meg Page Falstaff and Blanche The Gambler at Opera Vlaanderen. On the concert platform Rüütel performs Das Lied von der Erde with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
Last season Rüütel made her US operatic debut with Dallas Opera, singing Olga Eugene Onegin. She also returned to Teatro Real to sing Mary Der fliegende Holländer; Royal Opera House, Covent Garden as Emilia in a new production of Otello; and Opera Vlaanderen for the world premiere of Infinite Now by American-Israeli composer Chaya Czernowin, staged by Australian actor and theatre director Luk Perceval. On the concert platform Rüütel appeared at the Mumbai National Center of Performing Arts in an opera gala concert with the Symphony Orchestra of India.
Rüütel studied at the Georg Ots Music School in Tallinn and then at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague and the Dutch National Opera Academy, graduating from the Masters programme with Special Honours. Whilst studying in the Netherlands she was supported by Eesti Kultuurkapital. Rüütel won First Prize in the National Competition for Young Classical Singers in Estonia three years in a row in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
In 2009 Rüütel became a member of the prestigious Jette Parker Young Artists Programme at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, making her debut as Venerable Lady in The Gambler and covering the role of Blanche. Her roles for the company included Hänsel Hänsel und Gretel, Rosette Manon and Flora La traviata (also performed on tour in Japan), Second Lady Die Zauberflöte conducted by Sir Colin Davis, and Dorothée Cendrillon. She covered Madame Dangeville Adriana Lecouvreur, Charlotte Werther and Dunyasha The Tsar's Bride.
Since leaving the programme she has returned to the Royal Opera House as Meg Page Falstaff in a new production by Robert Carsen, Wellgunde Der Ring des Nibelungen and as Marchesa Malibea Il Viaggio a Reims in a special gala performance. She also made her debut with Scottish Opera as Hänsel in a new production of Hänsel und Gretel, Blanche in a new production of The Gambler at De Nederlandse Opera, Sonyetka in a new production by Calixto Bieito of Lady Macbeth from the Mtsensk District at Opera Vlaanderen and Siegrune Die Walküre at Gran Teatre del Liceu. Other recent operatic engagements include Anina in a new production of Der Rosenkavalier at Dutch National Opera, Flowermaiden and Esquire in a new production of Parsifal at Teatro Real, Emilia Otello at Opera Vlaanderen, Kate Julian Owen Wingrave at Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, as Nefertiti in Glass's Akhnaten at Opera Vlaanderen and as Meg Page Falstaff at Royal Opera House.
Recent concert and recital performances include her Estonian recital debut, accompanied by Roger Vignoles, her US debut with the St Louis Symphony Orchestra singing Mozart's Requiem; a hugely acclaimed debut performance of Elgar's Dream of Gerontius for The Three Choirs Festival; Beethoven's Symphony No.9 with the Residentie Orchestra of the Netherlands; Mahler Rückert Lieder at the Cadogan Hall; Beethoven Mass in C with City of Birmingham Symphony and Philharmonia orchestras; Zemlinsky's Sechs Gasange at Philharmonie Berlin; and gala concerts in Latvi, the Czech Republic and with the RTE Orchestra and John Wilson.

Opera Today, July 2015
Kai Rüütel's Meg Page exhibited a warm vocal sensuality
Seen and Heard International, January 2014
Her English was flawless; her voice sounded absolutely gorgeous; she sang with excellent feeling but with a complete absence of histrionics – she simply stood and delivered; and although she carried a score she barely glanced at it, singing directly to her audience with whom she maintained a compelling eye-contact.
Seen and Heard International, January 2014
Throughout her performance she exhibited a marvellous sense of line and her voice was produced not only evenly throughout its compass but also seemingly without effort. Time and again there was a lovely warmth to her singing […]I hope to hear her again in this role to which, I think, she is ideally suited.

Housing and Dining
The first thing you'll notice when you visit our campus is where it is: right in the middle of one of the world's most diverse, historic cities—Boston. And it's as much a part of BU as any of our student residences, dining halls, or athletic fields.
The University blends seamlessly with the city. Yes, we have our share of grassy lawns and ivy-covered walls. But Commonwealth Avenue, where many of our schools, colleges, and University buildings are located, is a lively urban street lined with shops, restaurants, and offices. Some of our student residences are city brownstones. Others are high-rises. Our transportation is urban, too: we routinely hop on "the T," Boston's mass transit system, to ride from one end of our 1.3-mile-long campus to the other.
When you're a student here, nothing separates you from Boston's world-class museums, artistic community, vibrant cultural life, great sports teams, rich history, or world-renowned scientific and medical communities. In fact, the city loves to open its doors to BU students. We offer hundreds of internships, research projects, and community service programs in connection with Boston businesses, organizations, and agencies.

Described as "China's Elephant Man," 37-year-old Huang Chucai has lived most of his life with one of the most severe cases on record, of a rare genetic disorder known as neurofibromatosis. Massive tumors associated with his condition have left his face grotesquely deformed, stunted his growth, left his bones undeveloped, caused his spine to buckle and have restricted his breathing.
In 2007 and 2008, Huang underwent operations whereby surgeons removed a 33-pound tumor from his face. This past Wednesday, on Christmas Day, doctors removed over 3 lbs of a tumor from his left cheek.
The Mayo Clinic defines neurofibromatosis as a genetic disorder that disturbs cell growth in the nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue including the brain and spinal chord. The tumors are usually benign and people with the condition often experience only mild symptoms. However possible effects of neurofibromatosis range from hearing loss, learning impairment, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) complications to severe disability due to nerve compression by tumors, loss of vision and severe pain.
In the case of Huang Chucai, tumors began showing up noticeably by the time he was 4-years-old. By age 25, all of his teeth had fallen out making it extremely difficult for him to eat and talk. The size and severity of his tumors eventually led to a deformity of his backbone, leaving him in a constant state of pain.
The Daily Mail reports that Huang incurred tremendous emotional damage throughout the years. He dropped out of school at the age of 10 due to his classmates' relentless torment. Moreover, his parents were at one time approached and asked to sell their son to a circus to be part of a "Freak Show." They declined.
Fortunately, the Christmas surgery was reportedly successful and Huang now faces the possibility of two more operations in order to get his condition under control.

"Zero Dark Thirty," Katherine Bigelow Film About Hunt For Osama Bin Laden, Finally Gets A Trailer [VIDEO]
"Zero Dark Thirty," the highly anticipated follow-up to Katherine Bigelow's award-sweeping 2009 film "The Hurt Locker" about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, has finally released a teaser trailer after months of speculation and controversy.
When the project was announced, it sparked accusations that President Barack Obama was compromising national security by granting "improper access to classified material for the still-untitled bin Laden movie," according to a New York Times report at the time. Bigelow denied any favoritism on the part of the Obama administration in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter along with "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Hurt Locker" screenwriter Mark Boal. When the film was finally slated for a release in October 2012, critics charged that it was intended as jingoistic propoganda to support Obama's re-election in November. So the film deferred its release date until the month after the election.
All of this can only help a movie based on the hunt and eventual killing of Osama Bin Laden—a man whose life has gripped America's collective imagination since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The trailer promises to show viewers how "the story you think you know" actually happened. And given Bigelow's pedigree as one of the rare filmmakers that's been able to make gripping and critically acclaimed Hollywood films about America's recent military ventures, it's fair to say this will probably turn out better than an iconoclast like Oliver Stone's attempts to capture recent history so prematurely (see: "W").
"Zero Dark Thirty" will arrive in theaters Dec. 19. Watch the trailer below.

|"You stole my donut! Damn you to hell! I shake my fist at you!"
|"Oh, BOOGERS!"
Today I spent the better half of the day making a video of my dad- who most of you know is terminally ill- and I was feeling sad when I stumbled on another video I had made last year, the actual video is pretty silly, but I started going through the snapshots and was cracking up at the many faces of lunacy that I found. So I thought I would share it so you guys can get a laugh too!
Yes, sadly, talking to me in person, these are almost all expressions you might run across.
No, the captions are not actually what I was talking about...
|"AHHHH- I mean MUAHAHAHAHAHA."
|"I have powerful fingers, you turkey neck!"
|"Have you ever heard a fish fart?"
|"No, your mother is toad diarrhea."
Yea, so, here ya go, Nykki's many faces of lunacy.
Haha, feel free to caption them in the comments. Just no copying of pictures, I only share my crazy with people I like. Shhh.

Conventional wisdom says that Millennials, when immersed in the workplace, prefer positive feedback. However a recent study conducted by Zenger Folkman, proves that it is not true. In fact, quite the opposite is true.
"Hit Me With Your Best Shot!"
When Millennials were asked, 80% said they preferred to receive negative or corrective feedback. Only 20% said they preferred positive or reinforcing feedback.Join Dr. Jack Zenger and Dr. Joe Folkman for a fascinating look at the research findings from this study and how they impact the careers and development for this group.
Jack and Joe will answer the questions:
- What demographic/workplace groups have the greatest need for corrective feedback?
- Why do people both dread and desire corrective feedback?
- How can employees and managers develop practices which promote the exchange of feedback?

Although I have been known as a chronic daydreamer and an outward over-optimistic person, my grasp on reality has always been firm. While this momentarily causes me to be figuratively and literally unsteady while recalibrating myself, it has been the reason that throughout everything that has erupted throughout my life, I have managed to stay upright. But at this point in time, more than ever, all I want to do is run as far as possible beyond the grasp of the reality surrounding my mother.
Right now it is a struggle to accept the person my mother has become, trying my best to learn to love her as she is now, but is beyond hard. It has been so fucking hard. Perhaps this appears harsh or selfish. Despite my best intentions to convince myself things will go back to the old, not-even-close- to-perfect normal, the reality playing before my eyes cannot be ignored.
This is not the first time I have had to reconfigure my senses regarding my mother. At barely twelve years old, I was forced to adapt with the changes our mother-daughter relationship endured under the strain of chronic illness, as her physical and mental health conditions became the fourth member of our household. For over sixteen years, more than half my existence, I've lived with this adjusted role as my mother's only child. Now as an adult who is acutely aware of the gravity of what is happening, the realistic outlook for the future and the pain plastered across my father's face, this shift to this new 'normal' has been absolutely gut wrenching.

Terrible in my opinion.
If you know anything about Arabic food, you'll know this isn't quality food or quality cooking. I'd give it a 2 star at best for food but i added an extra star for being an alternative in Barrie. But as far as Arabic food is concerned - this isn't even close to it's description, dry - poor quality ingredients - over and under seasoned - expensive - truck stop diner... more
In short: eating at Arabesque is like eating in the farmhouse kitchen of the rustic Middle Eastern relatives you never had - the food is simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious, but if you leave anything on your plate, Julia asks "What was wrong with that piece?" then threatens to deny you dessert unless you finish your salad.
First, the food. If, like most North Americans, you've been... more
We had been planning on going to this restaurant for a while. What a delight. Wonderful and welcoming and the food was delicious. Do not miss and opportunity to dine or take out from Arabesque.

North Korea has enough plutonium for 10 nuclear bombs: South Korea
South Korea says the North has acquired as much as 50 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium, enough to manufacture 10 nuclear bombs.
In its 2016 defense white paper, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense estimated that North Korea had developed the aforementioned amount of plutonium as of the end of 2016.
According to the report, the North had a stockpile of plutonium at about 40 kilograms in 2014.
The ministry also claimed that Pyongyang had a "considerable" ability to produce weapons based on highly-enriched uranium. It did not provide more details.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said in a New Year address that his country was in the "final stages" of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile — capable of reaching US mainland.
Earlier on Sunday, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter called North Korea a "serious threat" and warned that Washington would shoot down any missile aimed at the US or any of its allies.
China and South Korea also denounced Pyongyang's missile program on Monday and warned to impose more sanctions on the country if it attempted to test launch more missiles.
North Korea, long under strict international sanctions, has so far refused to stop developing its missile and nuclear program, asserting that the tests aim to protect the country from the hostile US posture. The US has military forces in South Korea and is planning to controversially deploy an advanced missile system in the country as well. It also occasionally deploys nuclear-powered warships and aircraft capable of carrying atomic weapons in the region.
North Korea's fifth and biggest nuclear test on September 9 last year prompted the United Nations Security Council to impose a fresh round of sanctions against Pyongyang.

As the Statue of Liberty prepares to reopen to visitors on July 4, one Manhattan hotel brand is ready with a Lady Liberty package. The Hotel @ Times Square and Broadway @ Times Square are offering rooms starting at $225 a night that include reimbursement to guests holding sightseeing tickets to the statue's crown.
The deal: The offer favors travelers who already have tickets to visit the statue's crown. (I had a hard time finding times and dates available in late July and early August). The offer requires a two-night minimum stay and is available only by phone when you ask for the Lady Liberty package.
The package comes with daily breakfast, a bottle of water and reimbursement of crown tickets for up to $40 for two adults in a room with a queen-sized bed or $64 for two adults and two children in a room with two double beds (prices start at $252 a night).
When: The offer is good July 4 to Aug. 31.
Tested: I called and found the package available for a queen room July 21-24 and July 28-31 for $225 plus tax. Rooms in the same time frame cost $213 a night plus tax, so for a little more you receive the ticket reimbursement perk. I also found the package available for four from Aug. 2-5 with two double beds for $255 plus tax. Note the package applies only to crown tickets, not just a visit to Liberty Island or the base.

LaKendra Washington is the top scorer among the Lady Flames' reserves this season, averaging 7.3 ppg.
The following article first appeared in issue No. 3 of the Flames Illustrated game program for the 2011-12 basketball season, which was available at the Vines Center between Dec. 31-Jan. 14. LaKendra Washington and the Liberty women's basketball team currently sit in second place in the Big South Conference standings at 4-1 and return home Saturday at 2 p.m. to host Presbyterian College.
LaKendra Washington is goofy. That is her description of herself. She provided that totally on her own. The junior from Milwaukee, Wisc., is in her third year playing for the Lady Flames. She has received some accolades such as a Big South weekly honor as a freshman and an all-tournament team nod at the Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Tournament earlier this season. Washington has developed a reputation of being a hard-nosed defender and can definitely swipe the ball from any opponent, as she is averaging more than two steals per contest on the year. She also can provide a spark off the bench offensively, ranking among the team leaders in three-pointers made. Although she could talk up her attributes and accomplishments, when she mentions how she fits in on this team, she willingly points out she is goofy. "I'm the goofy person on the team," she admits. "I like to get people excited. I don't like it when players come into the gym for practice and look sad. I want to see happy faces. I'm the one who wants to make them laugh and fill their hearts with joy." Washington missed the first two games this season because of injury, but once she was able to play she has made her presence known on the court. "Kendra has started slowly because of an injury," said Liberty head coach Carey Green. "She's come in and filled a need we had with scoring punch in the guard position. She has a good nose for the basketball from the defensive end. She's been a welcome addition back to the team after her injury. She's not 100 percent healthy but she's giving 100 percent effort, and she's going to continue to work on her game." Washington apparently caught the eyes of those who voted on the Vanderbilt all-tournament team. Liberty faced nationally-ranked Oklahoma at the event, and Washington recorded eight points and two steals against the Sooners. The next day against Lipscomb, she produced her season-high 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the field, including 2-of-4 three-point attempts, and three steals. Another interesting aspect to Washington's performance this season is that she does it without being in the starting lineup. "I love coming off the bench," she said. "I feel like it betters me. I would love to start, but coming off the bench gives me more confidence. It allows me to see what is happening on the floor." "Kendra is able to sit and watch the flow of the game," said Green. "Even though we do a thorough job of scouting teams on film, she evaluates better in reality when she watches from the bench. It makes her more comfortable when she comes into the game." The reserve role definitely has helped her, especially in the defensive aspects. Washington can focus on her opponents and prepare herself on how to play them. "I love to play defense. It's the number one thing that I do," she said. "It gives me one-on-one time. It's me looking at them eye-to-eye. I am focused on their ball handling. I just try to hustle and look for the charge or the steal. I try to use my defense to pump up the team." The stats show Washington is effective on defense as her steals-to-fouls ratio is 17-to-9. She has only committed more than one foul in two games. That is impressive for a player who makes an emphasis on playing defense. "It's her maturity and experience that have contributed to that," said Green. "I know I am fast and can steal the ball," Washington said. "I do my best to keep my opponents in front of me and pay attention. I try to think ahead of them and what they will do, figuring out which way they will go." Washington is not timid against successful, nationally-ranked teams. Playing against them is when she usually shines the most. Playing against eventual national champion Texas A&M last year, Washington had 10 points. Versus 17th-ranked St. John's, she hit four three-pointers and collected a season-high 13 points. Playing on the road does not bother her either, even as a freshman. When Liberty played at Lafayette her first year, she recorded her career high of 21 points, hitting 9-of-12 shots and swiping four steals. "I love going against really good teams," she said. "I think it makes me better. When we played against Texas A&M, it was a fast tempo game, with lots of fast breaks going back and forth. When we play them or Baylor or Oklahoma, it's an opportunity for the whole team to get better, making us see the good and the bad in how we play." Washington contributes both on offense and defense. She can do it coming off the bench, providing that spark for the Lady Flames. Some could debate which of her attributes are better – offense or defense. However, her best contribution overall is her attitude and the positive energy she gives the team. "She is an entertainer," said Green. "She calls herself goofy, but she's entertaining. She's gifted with a beautiful singing voice. She enjoys life. She loves to have fun." Green shared that Washington has overcome a lot of adversity especially with injuries, but they have not brought her down. "She has moved forward in her life," he said. "She has not let issues defeat her. She's come back from an injury that's been hard to figure out. She is an encourager." Washington may call herself goofy, but that would be far from an accurate description. Her teammates know she is an encourager who will do whatever it takes to help her team succeed. ------ Chris Doyle is a freelance writer for Liberty Athletics

Which 2 Asian time-travel dramas are nominated in the International Emmy Awards?
Time travel must be hot! We've seen how popular Scarlet Heart: Ryeo is with our international audience. Now, the prestigious International Emmy Awards has announced its 2016 award nominees, and two of them come from Asian time-travel dramas. Find out more about the nominees from South Korea and Singapore.
We usually hear about Korean and Chinese dramas, but how about a time-traveling drama from Singapore?
Echoes of Time stars Singaporean actress Dawn Yeoh, who travels back in time to the WW II era, meets a soldier and falls in love. The wartime soldier is played by Taiwanese actor James Wen (Wen Sheng Hao), famously known for playing the husband in Taiwanese drama, The Fierce Wife.
James is nominated for his performance in Echoes of Time in the Best Actor category, and he feels particularly honored and excited to be listed along with American actor and Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman in the same category. He even recalls that he wrote a paper on The Graduate, the famous movie starring Dustin Hoffman, when he was a student in cinema studies.
From South Korea comes a two-episode drama nominated in the TV movie/mini-series category.
Splash Splash Love, starring Kim Seul Gi (Oh My Ghostess, Second to Last Love) and Beast singer-actor Yoon Doo Joon (Let's Fight Ghost, Let's Eat 2), is about a high-school girl who is transported to Joseon Korea and meets the crown prince. She ends up teaching the royal some modern-day ideas.
The 44th International Emmy Awards will be held on November 21 in New York City, and hosted by Alan Cummings in the award ceremony.
You can find the complete list of nominees HERE, with 15 countries represented across 10 categories.
Best of luck to Echoes of Time, Splash Splash Love, and all the nominees!
