Magellan, LBC to Build Terminal, Pipeline Infrastructure on Gulf Coast
Magellan Midstream Partnersand LBC Tank Terminals, LLC ("LBC") announced they formed a 50/50 limited liability company. Seabrook Logistics, to own and operate crude oil storage and pipeline infrastructure in the Houston Gulf Coast area.
The assets will include more than 700,000 bbls of new crude oil storage and other distribution infrastructure located adjacent to LBC's existing terminal in Seabrook. In addition, the JV will build an 18-inch pipeline, which will connect the new storage to an existing third-party pipeline that will transport crude oil to a Houston-area refinery.
Separately, an agreement has been executed to allow the JV to use LBC's dock for industry standard Aframax vessels with up to a 45-foot draft and two barge docks, which will provide efficient marine access with flexible loading and unloading services at the Seabrook facility.
"We also see growth opportunities at this new facility through the potential connection and integration of this terminal into Magellan's Houston crude oil and refined products pipeline systems," said Michael Mears, Magellan's president and CEO.
The $95 million project is is supported by a long-term storage and transportation commitment with a major refiner. Magellan will be responsible for constructing, maintaining and operating the new pipeline, and LBC will be responsible for constructing, maintaining and operating the new storage tanks and other terminal assets.
The storage facility and pipeline infrastructure are expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2017.

The aura is an electromagnetic field that surrounds all living creatures including human beings, animals and plants. In fact, some people believe that the aura surrounds all matter including inanimate objects. The aura of one being can affect that of another. A person who has a weak aura may feel the pull of someone who has a strong aura. That pull may leave a person with a weak aura feeling drained. People who sap the energy of someone elses aura may be referred to as emotional vampires. A strong aura can be used to heal, attract, protect or even influence others. The energy of the aura may be used in positive or negative ways but it is important to use such energy positively as it may have dire consequences to the user as well as others when used in a negative manner. It is important to strengthen your aura in order to protect yourself against those who may try to sap your energy. A strong aura can keep also keep you healthy and happy. You may suffer from ill health and lack of energy if your aura is weak. Learn how to strengthen your aura and keep it that way.
Use positive affirmations to keep your aura strong and healthy. Choose affirmations that resonate with your spirit and feel comfortable to you. Repeat them daily.
Eat a healthy diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. A poor diet can cause your aura to become weak. A proper diet will strengthen the aura naturally.
Meditate 2 to 3 times per week. Meditation can help keep the aura strong. Use whatever form of meditation that works best for you. Experiment with several different meditation techniques until you find the one best for you then mediate often for a strong aura.
Get outdoors and connect with nature. Being in a natural setting will help to balance and strengthen your aura. You need fresh air and natural sunlight to keep your aura healthy.

Guess 'el duo de la historia' is carrying on.
Popular reggaeton duo, Wisin y Yandel, are still together despite multiple rumors that the group had split to work on their separate projects, Puerto Rican daily El Nuevo Dia has confirmed.
As Fox News Latino reported on Saturday, everything began when Yandel visited fellow reggaeton star Don Omar's concert in Puerto Rico on Friday. While on stage, Don Omar took some time to congratulate Yandel on what he called his "new phase as a solo artist" sparking rumors throughout the web that the group's time together had come to an end.
But according to El Nuevo Dia, the publication got in touch with the singers' publicist Jennifer Nieman, who said she could not understand why Don Omar said this during his concert.
"He did not say at anytime that Wisin y Yandel are breaking up," Nieman told the publication in Spanish. "Yandel came to support Don Omar and I cannot give a comment about something that I do not know of," she added.
"The only thing I could answer is what I know and is you are asking me that as a duo they have broken up the answer is no," Nieman continued. "They are solid as a group and each of them also has their individual projects going on as well and they mutually support each other."
Nieman added that "when artists are on stage they say a ton of things" but that she did not think Don Omar thought any of this would come out of the comment he said.
"For months now in Puerto Rico, TV gossip shows have been insinuating that Wisin y Yandel are splitting and when Don Omar goes and says it it probably was not with ill intentions," Nieman continued.
Wisin y Yandel's publicisit also added that the two have concerts scheduled through the end of the year as well as a publicity tour coming up throughout Latin America and the United States.
"That I know of Don Omar is not Yandel's publicist or manager," Nieman said.

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later.
Age Rating: 4+
There must be a thousand ways you can send pictures from your iPhone to your friends and family, so I am always looking for new ways to do so. Hey, snapping a picture and uploading to Facebook is, well, so amateur.
Photogram, from Timelines is my latest toy that drives those in my Facebook feed nuts. "How does he do that?", they ask. Magic, I say. Magic and iPhones. Lots of iPhones.
Photogram puts four pictures together into a neat little postcard package that you can then send off to Facebook, Twitter or an email. You can even create groups that you send to regularly, like family, friends and 'fellow iPhone freaks like me.' You can choose from 33 built in themes to customise your note, and add your four favourite photos, or take some using the camera. The interface is easy to follow, with a step by step process that makes it pretty hard to mess up, so send it off, and wait for the oohs and ahhs to roll in. That is, until your friends find out this little app is actually free.
That's right, Photogram is one of the new breed of apps that gives away the goods, then asks you to pay for extra features; in this case, additional themes to use. Many of these themes are created by independent artists specifically for the app. Not that the built-in ones are bad, but at 99 cents a pop, you might think it worthwhile to make sure your holiday card doesn't use that same theme aunt Gladys used. Yep, totally worth it.
Be warned, sensitive types, this app also puts an ad for itself on the bottom of every card it sends. And it's not just a, 'this card created by Photogram' kind of thing, but a full on 'Get this in the App Store' button. An annoying bit of self promotion, especially because it ruins my 'boy-is-he-a-creative-guy' facade.
Oh well, most of my friends won't look that close anyway.

Touch Is the Future at H-P
Hewlett-Packard Co. is hot on the prospects of touchscreen technology.
H-P says it's working on an array of products, including notebooks, that use the same type of finger-tapping interface popularized by Apple Inc.'s iPhone. H-P's so keen on the idea that it says it's trying to get touch-enabled notebook computers on the market within the next 18 months.
"We're focused on recognizing the potential of touch now," said Phil McKinney, the chief technology officer for the company's laptop-making Personal Systems Group. "We see touch as the almost preferred method for nontechnical users."
H-P's plans illustrate how the iPhone has whetted the world's appetite for touchscreens, which have become increasingly available on handheld devices and are now making their way into the personal-computer sector. Several competitors already have touchscreen desktops, but few have laptops with touchscreens.
A hit with touchscreens might help the Palo Alto, Calif., company's sagging stock price. H-P's shares are down about 11% year-to-date to $45, as the company fights stiff competition from Dell Inc. and weakness in overseas markets.
Market research suggests H-P is making a smart bet. The number of touchscreen devices, including PCs, should more than double to 800 million by 2013, according to industry tracker iSuppli. Spending on touchscreen components likely will reach $6.4 billion, up 33% from $4.8 billion, over the same period, iSuppli said.
Much of that demand likely will come from notebook-computer makers.
"Touch represents the interface of the future," said Richard Shim, an analyst with IDC.
The iPhone helped to solidify the trend. Since June 2007, the gadget has proved the mass appeal of computing devices that are manipulated by touch-sensitive icons and other screen prompts. More than 6.1 million iPhones have been sold since their debut.
Microsoft Corp. has fueled the move, too. The software titan said in June that it is adding touchscreen capabilities to its next operating system, which is due around 2010. The inclusion of touch functions likely will prompt even further adoption of the technology, analysts said.
No. 2 computer maker Dell already has an array of touchscreen products, including flat-panel monitors for $618. And it, too, has been revving up new touchscreen products. Two and a half weeks ago, the Round Rock, Texas, company said it would start offering free software updates to add multitouch capabilities to its Latitude XT tablet. It also has begun offering touchscreen options on a number of other computers.
That's led to talk about touchscreen notebooks from Dell in the future. A Dell representative had no immediate comment.
At this point, Apple doesn't appear to be joining the fray, even though it helped spark the trend. But Apple's Macintosh computers already have the same multitouch capability built into a track pad on the computer's console. Apple declined to comment.

Virtually every self-made wealthy person achieves their accumulation of wealth through investing money their earn throughout their working lives. Further, virtually everybody knows the potential of investing and how it can boost one's wealth over time.
Every country's financial markets are unique and unlike any other. Some are more similar than others, although this can't be said for Brazil's financial market – it is one of the most unique in the world.
Igor Cornelsen is a seasoned investor that spent the entirety of his working career in Brazil, managing the portfolios of large companies and organizations. While Mr. Cornelsen is no longer working in Brazilian financial markets, he still provides the world with loads of helpful information related to the focus he's worked in throughout his entire career.
Regulations are found far and wide in Brazil
It's common knowledge that business can thrive well without regulations. However, Brazil's market is full of regulations that can throw off new investors. Igor Cornelsen suggests to new investors that they should thoroughly research what the different kinds of regulations in Brazil restrict and how you can best navigate around them.
Strategies for earning returns in one or more countries might not work in Brazil. Make sure you know what strategies can work in Brazil prior to banking on their potential success – you might be misinformed.
Native Brazilians know lots about finance
OK – not every single Brazilian who's lived in the country throughout their entire lives knows a lot about finance. However, investors that have lived in the country since they were born probably know more than any other non-native you know. While this isn't an absolute rule that is always true, you should always try to make genuine friendships with financially-astute investors in the Portuguese-speaking country.
Buying currency in Brazil is never free
In order to invest in the financial markets in Brazil, you must convert your money – whatever country it's from – into Brazilian real, the nation's official currency. There are different exchange rates, so study up on them to get the most utility possible from your international investing endeavors.

Ivankovich traveled to Haiti last week and worked on patients with a variety of fractured bones. One day after arrival, he met a man and a woman with severe spinal cord injuries and decided to make them his personal mission.
Suy Bazelais, a 28-year-old man, and Josette Delisca, 52, had been lying on their backs in the Sacred Heart hospital camp outside of Port Au Prince since the Jan. 12 earthquake. They had no pain medication. Their chances of living, let alone walking again, were waning.

Behind-the-Scenes of Tulip Time in Holland
From May 7-14, more than 500,000 people from around the world will travel to Holland, Michigan to experience the 2016 Tulip Time Festival. The festival features Dutch dance performances, concerts, theatre, food, parades and more – all of which take a lot of time and dedication to produce by the staff and a team of more than 800 volunteers.
Gwen Auwerda, Executive Director of the festival, gives us a sneak peek at what goes into the making of Tulip Time.
In Holland, Michigan, we've had a cool spring and the tulips love it! The town is being spruced up from a long winter and the Tulip Time Festival staff and interns are busy with the finishing touches on all the great events, entertainment and parades.
Here are just some of the many things that happen behind-the-scenes in Holland as we prepare for the festival.
Prepping Pigs-in-a-Blanket
500 dozen pigs-in-a-blanket – a traditional Dutch food – were made by a group of volunteers from area churches. "Pigs" as we call them are a sausage roll covered with pastry dough and served to thousands of visitors at Dutch Marktplaats along with the largest selection of traditional Dutch food in the City of Holland. This is quite a time honored tradition for the churches.
Marching Band Practice
All of the bands are practicing their marching skills for the Saturday GMB Muziekparade, the longest parade in Michigan at 2.4 miles. This year, May 14th is the day of the GMB Muziekparade. The parade will feature over 4,000 participants.
Dutch Dance Rehearsals
Dutch Dance is another signature event during the festival. The dancers typically learn the dance in high school and can continue dancing as an "alumni dancer" after graduation. This year, we have 800 dancers who wear clothing representing the late 1800s and early 1900s. Practices begin in January and the dancers spend 30 hours over the next 4 months learning the dance. This event is a visitor favorite and free!
We couldn't put together an internationally known flower festival without our beloved volunteers. It takes over 800 volunteers over an 8 day period to help with trash pickup, ushering at the shows, set-up, deliver potted tulips to the venues around the city, assist with the Tulip Time run, and the three parades. It is because of the dedication of these volunteers that our city can host over 500,000 guests to Join the Dance! We hope to see you in beautiful Holland for the 87th Tulip Time Festival.
Gwen Auwerda is the Executive Director of the Tulip Time Festival in Holland.

Perhaps the only thing worse than having a bad case of road flu is having a bad case of it and slated to do an interview.
Voice frail and whisper-soft from a recent bout with every musician's nightmare, Hooverphonic vocalist Geike Arnaert phones on the eve of a recent tour for a brief discussion of all things musical.
"We did a showcase gig last night," she says. "It wasn't the best gig we've ever done. Hopefully, my voice will be doing better tomorrow."
Arnaert's singing voice � part sultry siren, part buttercream croon � is at the center of Hooverphonic's sonic gravitational pull, drawing listeners deep into the nucleus of the band's sound.
Growing up listening to artists such as Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and other "Woodstock music," Arnaert currently lists PJ Harvey as her favorite vocalist.
"I started singing when I was about nine, as a joke," she says. "I got good compliments on it. It's something I like and it's something I'm good at. I also went to music school and started singing in bands. I loved doing it and it was the only thing I could really see myself doing. So, I guess I got lucky."
Formed in Belgium in 1991 as Hoover, the band (Arnaert plus multi-instrumentalist Alex Callier and guitarist Raymond Geerts) came to prominence via an early single, "2 Wicky."
Eventually, Hoover became Hooverphonic as the result of a dilemma that often plagues bands seeking international audiences.
"There was already an American band and an Austrian band called Hoover," Arnaert explains. "The label didn't really see the point in going through a bunch of lawsuits and stuff."
From the studio to the road
Hooverphonic is currently touring the U.S. on a cross-country jaunt supporting its recently released effort "The Magnificent Tree."
Though "The Magnificent Tree" has the freshness and vitality of a garage-band debut, it's actually Hooverphonic's third full-length release. Though the group's earlier works, 1997's "A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular" and 1998's "Blue Wonder Powder Milk," were met with critical acclaim and brisk sales abroad, the band failed to make a serious dent in the consciousness of America's music-buying public.
Hooverphonic's U.S. breakthrough came via a series of soundtracks, including songs featured in "Stealing Beauty," "Shades" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." The band's ability to capture the hearts of film directors probably comes from its commitment to spending months in the studio perfecting its dark, haunted soundscapes.
"That's where everything starts," Arnaert says of Hooverphonic's lengthy studio excursions. "Alex has his little home studio, and he'll start writing songs. Then we'll come in and see what we can put in there. But, I really want to go different right now � get more involved. We haven't really tried rehearsing first. We usually record the album and then start rehearsing live. That's why it usually sounds really different live. Maybe we'll try it that way in the future, but it's kind of fun to go to the show and not just hear the album. It takes us a long time to record, but that's because we won't compromise on anything."
Though the band's reputation was originally minted via studio work, the group has slowly built a following as a superb live act. Touring with the likes of Fiona Apple, Duncan Sheik and Massive Attack, Hooverphonic has made a concerted effort to transform its live show into more of an event.
"The last couple of tours, we had a lot of tapes running along for the strings and stuff," Arnaert says. "But now we're working with two new musicians. It's a really live show. There's a lot more rock influence. Still, it has a real Hooverphonic feel to it. We're playing together as a true band now, which wasn't always the case on previous tours. So, it's a lot more fun."
Into the arms of America
Touring the States and Europe has proved an eye-opening experience for the trio. Before coming to America, Arnaert and company weren't sure what to expect. What they found was diversity and acceptance that often belied the image they'd come to anticipate.
"Everywhere is different," Arnaert explains. "L.A. is different from Austin, you know? European audiences are a lot colder, especially in Scandinavia and Belgium, although they're very enthusiastic and you can see them listening. The applause is so nice and is from the heart, but they're more introverted than Americans. That's why I love coming here, because everyone's so open and you really get treated well as an artist."
The band has certainly found an audience on the Internet, where its music seems to be everywhere, including its own site hooverphonic.com. Of course, Internet popularity does not necessarily translate into increased CD sales, the singer points out.
"There's two sides to it," Arnaert says when asked about Napster and other Net-based file-sharing software. "It's a great way of getting to know people's music, but I definitely think it's stealing. I can understand people's opinions about stars � they make all the money they need. But the small bands and artists suffer the most from it, because they're the ones who aren't making much money to start with. But, I think as long as you have the respect to buy the album afterwards, then it's great. It does take a lot of work to get good music done."
Time is certainly on Hooverphonic's side. With a new album in stores, tour dates lined up and a dedicated fan base, the band members undoubtedly will continue to craft the heartfelt, ethereal pop that has made them European press darlings and heroes of the American underground.

The stress and strains of our always-connected lives can sometimes take us off course. GPS For The Soul can help you find your way back to balance.
GPS Guides are our way of showing you what works for others in the hopes that you can find out what works for yourself. Whether it's photos that relax you or make you smile, songs that bring you back to your heart, quotes or poems that balance you or meditative exercises that help de-stress you, we all have tricks that we use when we get bent out of shape. We encourage you to look at the GPS Guide below, visit our other GPS Guides here, and share with us your own personal tips for finding peace, balance and harmony.
Written by Kailen Rosenberg
When it comes to chilling out or finding your center here are some easy tips that can help!
- Wherever you are, whether sitting in your office, in the peaceful outdoors, or standing in the middle of Grand Central Station, stop in your tracks for a moment, close your eyes, feel the vibration of the world around you, get centered in yourself and smile within, knowing that you are loved: by you, your family, your amazing friends, etc.
- Take a moment for prayer, a meditation of gratitude. We all have so much to be grateful for that we, at times, take for granted --especially when stressed. Take the time each day for just 60 seconds, and thank God or a higher power (it can even be you) for the many gifts in your life. You'd be surprised at how many things you actually have to be grateful for!
- Take in a deep, full breath, feel your feet on the ground, hold your hands gently together and listen to what your inner voice is and has been trying to tell you for a long time now. Honor this for the first time and make the changes necessary to clear what isn't of 'love' in your life, so that you can allow full love in.
- Call a great friend who has happy, healthy, constructive energy (you better have friends like this!) and invite them out for some good friend-life-no stress time over a glass of great wine (or a wonderful martini). Share a really yummy, gooey treat or a go for a jog in the park. Whatever you do together, the bottom line: just be, relax, and enjoy.
- Take a moment to write down on a piece of paper, a napkin, or in a special journal all of the things in life that currently make you happy and thank yourself for loving yourself enough to let that into your life! We often tend to do just the opposite.
- Of course don't forget the great, perfectly warm -- almost hot -- great smelling bubble bath with your favorite music playing in the background. Close your eyes, take in all of the senses, and either quietly relish in the experience that 'is', or sing out loud and be proud!
- Go for a good jog or a wonderful walk in nature or a place that stimulates relaxation in your mind. Go music free and take the time to get connected with yourself, the sounds of the world around you, and most importantly, the voice that loves you from within.
- Treat your senses to some amazing art! Go to an art museum or a few great galleries and just take in the magnificence that someone has created and see what you experience; it will always find a way to touch your soul and get you grounded.
What are the things I do, as a crazy, busy mom, wife, entrepreneur, and 'Love Architect' to keep myself centered and connected to joy? First, I pray! I thank God for his many blessings!
I then ask God and the universe to protect and heal those who are in need and hurting, and I ask that he bring healing, happiness, and joy!
After that, any and ALL of the above, plus a good Venti Java Chip -- light, with one pump mint and a huge dollop of whipped cream!
With love,
Kailen Rosenberg

For more than a hundred years, the answer was clear, even if the words of the amendment itself were not. The text of the amendment is divided into two clauses and is, as a whole, ungrammatical: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The courts had found that the first part, the militia clause, trumped the second part, the bear arms clause. In other words, according to the Supreme Court, and the lower courts as well, the amendment conferred on state militias a right to bear armsbut did not give individuals a right to own or carry a weapon.
Since then the law has taken a different interpretation. In any case the battle over gun control is not just one of individual votes in Congress, but of a continuing clash of ideas, backed by political power. In other words, the law of the Second Amendment is not settled; no law, not even the Constitution, ever is."
That's interesting when this is right in the second paragraph:
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a
firearm unconnected with service in a militia
, and to use that arm for
traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
Pp. 253.
(a) The Amendments prefatory clause announces a purpose, but
does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative
clause. The operative clauses text and history demonstrate that it
connotes an individual right to keep and bear arms."
Also about the term militia....
Militia was a generic term used back then to refer to the people:
A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves . . . and include all men capable of bearing arms
. . . To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms...
The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle.
" Richard Henry Lee -1788
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia?
It is the whole people
. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

Creating virtual hard disks in Virtual Server
Creating virtual hard disks
You can use a virtual hard disk to run the virtual machine's operating system (the guest operating system) and to save data. The guest operating system treats the virtual hard disk as if it were a physical hard disk. When you create a virtual hard disk it is empty, and it is saved as a .vhd file. The following table describes the different types of virtual hard disks you can create.
|Type of virtual hard disk
Dynamically expanding
The size of the virtual hard disk expands as data is written to it. The initial size is typically less than 100 KB, but as data is added the disk size will expand until it reaches the limit you specified when the disk was created. (When you create a new virtual machine, this is the type of disk that gets created by default.) Virtual Server 2005 will monitor the available hard disk space on the physical computer and notify you if the dynamically expanding disk starts to approach the limits of available space on the physical computer.
The size of the virtual hard disk is fixed to the size you specify when you create the disk. The initial size and the limit are equal; when you create the disk, it immediately uses the amount of space you specify. For example, if you create a 10-gigabyte (GB) fixed-size virtual hard disk, it will immediately use 10 GB of space.
On the Differencing Virtual Hard Disk page, the option to create a differencing virtual hard disk. Differencing disks enable you to have multiple operating system configurations that are based on a single operating system installation. This allows you to perform tests with several minor variations of the same operating system without consuming a large amount of disk space.
A differencing virtual hard disk is a virtual hard disk associated with another virtual hard disk in a parent-child relationship. The differencing disk is the child and the associated virtual disk is the parent. The parent disk can be any type of virtual hard disk. The differencing disk (the child) stores a record of all changes made to the parent disk and provides a way to save changes without altering the parent disk. In other words, by using differencing disks you ensure that changes are made by default to the differencing disks and not to the original virtual hard disk. You can, however, elect to merge changes from the differencing disk to the original virtual hard disk when it is appropriate to do so.
The differencing hard disk expands dynamically as data intended for the parent disk is actually written to the differencing disk.
We recommend that you write-protect or lock the parent disk. Otherwise, if the parent disk is modified by some other process that does not recognize the parent/child relationship of the differencing disk, all differencing disks related to the parent disk become invalid, and any data written to them is lost. By locking the parent disk, you can mount the disk on more than one virtual machine, similar to a read-only floppy disk or CD-ROM.
The following figure illustrates an example of the use of differencing disks. The parent virtual hard disk has a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating system installed on it. Each child disk includes Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, identical to the parent, and is then customized with a specific version of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Virtual Server supports linking a virtual hard disk to a physical hard disk on the physical computer. This virtual hard disk can have multiple volumes. The virtual hard disk is created with the actual boot partition and partition map from the drive on the physical computer. All read and write requests are forwarded directly to the linked physical hard disk.
Linked disks are intended for converting a physical disk to a virtual hard disk. You cannot use a linked disk as a startup disk. Virtual machines will not be able to start with linked disks attached. If you turn on a virtual machine with a linked disk attached, the virtual machine will turn itself back off and write an event to the event log.
For more information about converting physical disks, see Copying a physical disk to a virtual hard disk.
Linking to a physical hard disk requires the following:
To use a virtual hard disk on a SCSI bus, you must first add the SCSI adapter to the virtual machine, and then select one of the SCSI channels when configuring the virtual hard disk.
For more information about virtual hard disks, see Managing Virtual Hard Disks and Set Up Virtual Disks.
Disk usage considerations
The following table shows the advantages and disadvantages of each type of virtual hard disk.
|Disk type
Dynamically expanding
Dynamically expanding virtual hard disks require less space when initially created.
You must monitor the size of dynamically expanding virtual hard disks in order to avoid running out of disk space. If the size gets too large, other virtual machines that have a virtual hard disk on the same volume can be affected.
Because the physical disk space is allocated when the virtual hard disk is created, you have immediate feedback as to your disk requirements.
Fixed-size hard disks can consume a lot of disk space unnecessarily.
Linked disks provide a way to convert a physical data disk to a virtual hard disk.

New Brunswick Closes Campground
March 9, 2009 by Justin Leighty - () Comments Off on New Brunswick Closes Campground
For the first time since 1955, the Oak Bay Provincial Park campground near St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada will not open.
The provincial Tourism Department which owns the site will not spend $300,000 to bring the campground's sewage system up to the standard demanded by the provincial environment department, according to the Telegraph-Journal, St. John, New Brunswick. The city is located on the U.S. border with Maine.
John 'Jake' Chambers and his wife Rhonda, whose five-year lease to operate the campground expired Dec. 31, would have invested the money had the province been willing to sell them the property, Jake Chambers said.
The province did not want to sell at the price the Chambers offered, so the park will close.
"It's indefinite. We're not prepared to invest the money in the park at this point," Alison Aiton, a spokesperson with the New Brunswick Tourism Department, said in Fredericton. "We're investing in the campgrounds we currently operate," Aiton added, but not ones like Oak Bay leased to private operators.

Mega-Conference to examine what motivates new subscribers
4,500 recent signups explain why they began purchasing the paper
A major new study of nearly 4,500 people who recently subscribed to their local newspaper shows in unprecedented detail what motivates new subscribers.
At the Mega-Conference next month, learn about the consumers' path to subscription, what factors make them willing to subscribe, and what actions trigger their final commitment.
Jeff Sonderman, deputy executive director, and Gwen Vargo, director of reader relations, both of the American Press Institute, will explain the most important approaches to growing subscribers, and facilitate the attendees sharing their own questions and experiences with subscription marketing.
"The customer's journey to subscribing is not short or straight," says Sonderman, "but it need not be a mystery either. By studying thousands of people who had just decided to subscribe to local papers, we've learned a lot about what motivates their purchases, what they want from the product, and how publishers can more effectively generate these new subscriptions."
Vargo said, "Whether publishers are working with a fully developed print and digital subscription strategy, or are just starting to focus on subscriptions as a revenue priority, they will find the research and recommendations valuable. This interactive session shares not only these significant research findings, but also translates these findings into actionable insights to support your subscription acquisition strategies and tactics."
The Mega-Conference will be held Feb. 26-28 in San Diego.

yesterday I received a parcel from South Africa from my wonderful friend Eaton Blackberry (Check out her fantastic stories here: Sugarbush Valley ).
It was - and still is of course - a wonderful gift and the perfect start into the day.
Tadaaa, this what I got:
I knew about the doughnut store, because it was part of our agreed trade, but the cute yellow bear baby and the adorable rabbit figure was an awesome surprise!
The doughnut store comes with a table, a pretty counter, carry boxes, the yellow bear mum, 12 doughnuts, 2 muffins and 2... ahm... baked sticks? Maybe sponge cake pieces/sticks? If you know what they are please tell me - in Germany we have similiar looking sponge cake sticks, which we use for Tiramisu ^^. The set also comes with 2 plates, a heater, a tea pot, 2 cups and 2 serving tweezers (lol... I searched the dictionary for the right word, but didn't find it, so please bear with me!).
And that's how it looks all set up. It looks so delicious, I would love to taste one of those doughnuts :D.
This is the table with the plates, heater and co. I really like the plate's print.
Little Louis Yellowstone also likes the gorgeous treats his mum is baking (and selling).
Of course his mum will give him a muffin - and I think he really deserves some sweets after such a long jouney.
"All mine!"
I'm very happy to welcome Eloise and Louis Yellowstone to Marigold Creek - for sure they will soon settle in completely. Eloise told me that she wants to talk with Digger McBurrow and Andrew Woodbrook if they could built her a shop, where she can sell her doughnuts^.^.
Dear EB - thank you so much for this wonderful parcel. I'm so happy about my new villagers and for sure the other villagers will be happy about the doughnut store too. I'm looking forward to our coming trading plans ^.^.
Read and write you soon,
Yours Kyra

Employee Resource Group Leaders Summit 2016
Where will you be on March 8-9 in 2016?
If you want to learn from a dynamic group of Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders as well as senior Diversity and Inclusion and Business executives, you will want to be with us at this 2-day, data-driven workshop. It's a unique learning opportunity for people who want to take ERGs forward and learn through live case studies, exercises that stimulate new thinking and skill building as well as via data collected from ERG members in the participating companies. Our first ERG Summit was in 2013, and since that time we have created new learning via this event, and we also share that accumulated knowledge.
We want to thank the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
for hosting the event for us in Seattle, Washington. We also are proud to have
Sony Pictures Entertainment
as an active sponsor.
You can find more information here
Learning moments from our research work:
ERG members are more energized and engaged than their counterparts who are not in ERGS.
ERG members learn to innovate within their ERGs, and they are taking that skill set back to their jobs.
ERG leaders acquire skills that help them develop and become more successful in their core jobs.
Organizations can leverage their ERGs to help drive change; this can be an important asset for organizations that find themselves in need of moving to a continuous change or agile culture.
ERGs are evolving - some organizations are using the term BRG, business resource groups.

Niš Fortress was built in the early 18th century by the Turks, on the right bank of the Nišava river, in the very centre of the city. It was constructed upon Roman and mediaeval foundations. Its shape is that of an irregular polygon, with sides of varying lengths. It was built of stone extracted from the nearby Hum quarry, though monuments, sarcophagi and other building materials from earlier periods were used.
It has four large gates: the Stambol (Istanbul), Belgrade, Vidin and Great Gate, the latter providing access to the river. All the gates are well-preserved even today. The fortress was encircled by a large moat which, when needed, was filled with water from the Nišava.
Within the fortress there was a settlement with shops, a place of worship, barracks and other structures for military use. All that remains of these today is a number of gunpowder stores, the Bali-beg mosque from the 16th century and an arched structure. Accompanying the fortress is a hamam (Turkish bath), built in the 15th century and one of the oldest examples of non-religious architecture from the beginning of Turkish rule. The fortress bears recognisable features of Arabic architecture.
Due to its primarily strategic nature, the fortress remained under Turkish control until 1877, when it passed into Serbian hands.
Niš Fortress is a cultural property of great importance, today a venue for frequent cultural and artistic events.

I sit here amidst a foray of over excited scientists talking too quickly down a mic on a live stream and this musing comes on the back of having to suffer 2 and a half hours of the awful film Interstellar the other day. To say I'm not "pro-space" at the moment is an understatement.
At time of writing the Rosetta probe has landed and I expect we will see images and further information soon.
But so what? What benefit will it bring to humanity? – This is where I start to lose interest in the probe after the initial feelings of "it was a hell of a good shot to be able to hit the comet".
Lets say investigations of the probe conclude that its made entirely of custard. How will this forward any knowledge? All we will know from then on is that if you have an apple pie ready when a comet slams into the Earth, you're in for a great dessert.
Of course I jest with the custard example, but it's merely to highlight that the "wonderful" readings we are bound to receive are really rather useless. When you consider what it must of cost to get the probe there AND the fact that we haven't even taken mankind past the Moon, what benefit does this have?
I suppose in many hundreds of years when mankind develops an interest in Comet surfing, the tech will be very useful, people can land on a comet and do whatever you do on a lump of ice travelling at 24 miles per second around our solar system. I'd suggest for now, the tech is at least, pretty useless.
There can be one lesson drawn from this exercise, Scientists should not be allowed near a mic when making public announcements. Over-excitement, lack of sleep and lack of public speaking experience make for uncomfortable viewing.
The icing on the cake will come from the conspiracy theorist, for whom this will not be a waste of money. The Icke supporters and Alien folk will all be able to offer their "unique" theories as to what is being covered up. You will get folk spending hours looking at the images and then pointing out one that has proof of alien civilisation. You'll have others claiming the pictures are fake, or photoshopped.
For others – those who have romantic notions of a Star Trek future (that will never happen) and the conspiracy theorists looking for evidence of aliens, this Rosetta project will offer days of entertainment. I would expect there are quite a few people that will also think before we start chucking millions of pounds at large lumps of rock and ice, we look to the Earth first and try to solve some of the problems we have here.
Lets be realistic, evidence of mankind's current behaviour lends more to suggest that our future is more likely to be Warhammer 40,000 than it is Star Trek and maybe that's because rather than deal with problems that we have on Earth people would rather send millions of pounds up into space to look at rocks and ice.

Most Popular Dog Names in Japan
It is always so much fun for us to look through our database and see all the fun, unique, and creative things our policyholders name their pets. Occasionally we will share with you some that we find, like the most unique pet names, the top 10 famous cat names, the top 10 outer space pet names, and the top 5 Thanksgiving pet names.
Well, it turns out we aren't the only ones who do this. In October, a pet insurance company in Japan scoured their databases to determine the most popular dog names for 2011 and it looks like Japanese dog owners have quite the sweet tooth. Here are the top five:
- Koko
- Marron (French for "chestnut")
- Choco (chocolate)
- Momo (peach)
- Cocoa
Ther 'sweet' names that made the top 50 were Mocha, Shocora (chocolate), Pudding, Rum and the Japanese words for "apricot" and "walnut."

Although it wasn't my intent I realized at this point that I just needed to paint up one more model to have the battlebox done so I figured may as well.
Then I took a picture of the battlebox.
Madrak, 2 Impalers and an axer.
So, continuing with my year of the Trollblood I have decided that since I have an axer and impaler done, I may as well take a short detour from my Jarl tourney list and finish painting up the troll battlebox.
Here are some wips of Maddie. I am doing one model per week this year and trying to limit it to getting a single model painted up in a night, but after talking with a few friends I have extended that on character models.
I had really hoped to have him finished in just a night or two, but it is going to take 3 – but I blame part of that on 2 sick babies… I have yet to master painting and rocking a crying child at the same time. Perhaps my epic incarnation will be able to do it.
Enough blathering, here's the pics.

Vatican, Bodleian Libraries will publish millions of ancient texts online(Read article summary)
Works that will be available for perusal will include Gutenberg's Bible, believed to be the first text ever printed.
By Roman Kirillov
Various ancient manuscripts will soon be made available online through a collaboration with the Vatican and the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford University.
More than 1.5 million pages of text will be made available, including 15th-century writings, Hebrew text, and works from the Greeks, including writings by Plato, Sophocles, Homer, and Hippocrates. Other works will be "De Europa" by Pope Pius II Piccolomini and the 42-line Bible printed by Johannes Gutenberg, believed to be the first text ever printed.
The project was made possible through a grant of $3.2 million from the Polonsky Foundation.
"Transforming these ancient texts and images into digital form helps transcend the limitations of time and space, which have in the past restricted access to knowledge," Bodley librarian Sarah Thomas told the BBC.

Writing Immersive Fiction
Ever wondered why some books are more successful than others? It has nothing to do with the quality of writing, or whether you have a high concept story or not. No, it simply depends on how immersive your story is on every page.
But what makes a story immersive?
There are elements of writing that pull readers inside the world of your story and keep them engrossed until the end, no matter the genre. And there are other elements that rudely push them out. Come learn the building blocks of immersive fiction, constructing your fictive dream brick by brick, using tools such as the Motivation-Reaction Unit, the use of all senses, and more.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Ezekiel Elliott ran for 104 yards on 24 carries in the Dallas Cowboys' 19-3 win against the New York Giants, but his biggest win came on Friday in a U.S. District court.
Judge Amos Mazzant granted Elliott an injunction and temporary restraining order that blocked the NFL's six-game suspension of the running back for violating the personal conduct policy, writing the running back did not receive fundamental fairness in the appeal process.
"Just relieved for the fact that I finally get a fair trial," Elliott said after Sunday's game. "I finally get a chance to prove my innocence and just happy that I'll get to be with the guys for as long as permitted and not miss time and not having to be away from them."
Without the injunction or restraining order, Elliott would have missed the next six games. Now, he is likely to be eligible to play the full season.
"It's definitely been a tough last 14 months," Elliott said. "At times it's gotten so hard you start to lose faith."
A former girlfriend accused Elliott of domestic violence on separate occasions in July 2016 in Columbus, Ohio. The city attorney's office did not pursue charges against Elliott, citing inconsistent evidence. The NFL's personal conduct policy does not require the same burden of proof for a player to be found in violation. The league said it had persuasive evidence Elliott committed violence against Tiffany Thompson on multiple occasions in levying the suspension.
Harold Henderson denied Elliott's appeal, but Judge Mazzant blocked the penalty.
"Just kind of your name getting dragged through the mud," Elliott said when asked what the hardest part has been. "It's been 14 months. Just kind of being associated with that, that's tough."
Asked if the process has been unfair to him, Elliot did not want to comment further.
"I've kind of stopped worrying about it because it's not in my hands," Elliott said. "At this point I'm focused right now on being the running back I need to be for this team to be successful so we can accomplish what we want to and remaining focused to keep playing at a high level."
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones attempted to deflect comments about Elliott's appeal process. From the start, Jones said he did not anticipate Elliott being disciplined at all and he continues to support Elliott.
Jones said he has spoken with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about the case but would not get into what they discussed. He said there is a difference between the Elliott case and the "Deflategate" case involving New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
"Well, that was about whether or not the player had misrepresented to the commissioner," Jones said. "We've got rules that say if you don't tell the truth to the commissioner then you can get sanctioned. Those are rules. That's not the case here. Zeke gave them everything plus some that he needed to have here. These are different issues. This has really to do with what our league's responsibility is given the privilege that we have as a league, then what is our responsibility to really do it in a very good and accurate or acceptable way. We certainly stand to be critiqued and examined in that area.
"Everybody else is. Everybody who has ever made a decision in law is. So why should it surprise us that when we adjudicate or the equivalent of adjudicate over a privilege that we've gotten in our relationship with players and we don't do it in a fair way. Why should it surprise anybody if we got slapped? It doesn't surprise me. You have to be fair."
Jones said everybody associated with the team was, "lifted by that decision. And it was a good one."
Jones knows the Cowboys are a different team with Elliott than without him. He's just glad he likely doesn't have to see his team without Elliott this season.
"We'd miss Zeke if we don't have him," Jones said. "That's all I can say. It's inspirational for this team to know we have the chance to have him all year."

During the Second World War, Juscelino Kubitschek - then a young mayor keen on modern architecture, built the artificial Pampulha Lake on the periphery of Belo Horizonte, which was already expanding beyond its limits.
Kubitschek invited his 33 year-old friend Oscar Niemeyer, then beginning his professional practice, to design a number of buildings for recreational purposes of the emerging bourgeoisie, including a casino, a yacht club, a dance hall, a church and a hotel. In addition, the largest covered soccer stadium in the world, nicknamed Mineirão, was also being planned in the surroundings of the lake. The stadium was eventually constructed in 1965 and for a number of years was second only to the Maracana in terms of size.
In December 2010, BCMF Architects were commissioned to review and deliver a renovation of the Mineirão Stadium, one of the venues for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The new complex aims to go beyond its primary role as a sports venue, also offering a range of services, retail, culture and entertainment for the city, becoming a new hub daily of activities linked to the touristic Pampulha complex.
The revamped Mineirão, which will maintain its heritage listed 1960's façade, will, once completed, sit 64,000 fans. The target date for completion is December this year, so here's an update on how things are going:

Representative Bankruptcy Experience:
Sunwest Consolidated Enterprise - Probably the biggest and most complex bankruptcy case ever filed in Oregon, the unwinding, restructuring and $1.2 billion sale involving over 700 of Sunwest entities demanded legal expertise in securities, tax, real estate, corporate governance, litigation and mergers & acquisitions. Al Kennedy and Tim Conway worked with a team of Tonkon Torp lawyers and paralegals who developed and executed a complex resolution that avoided foreclosure of Sunwest's property empire and the loss to investors of over $600 million.
Roman Catholic Archdioceses of Portland – On behalf of the Claimants' Committee, Al Kennedy led a team of Tonkon Torp lawyers in the first-ever bankruptcy filing by a Catholic Archdiocese. Tonkon Torp successfully navigated numerous issues of first impression arising from the intersection of real estate, corporate, constitutional, bankruptcy, charitable trust and religious institutions law. All claimants were paid in full with interest.
Renaissance Custom Homes LLC – With the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2008/09, developer Randy Sebastian turned to Al Kennedy and Tim Conway to find a path through bankruptcy and emerge to re-grow his company.
McGrath's Publick Fish House, Inc. – On behalf of this Salem-based chain of 20 restaurants operating in multiple states, Leon Simson led a Tonkon Torp team to seek protection under Chapter 11 and to produce a fast track resolution that resulted in a confirmed plan of reorganization allowing the reorganized company to emerge from bankruptcy.
Blue Heron Paper Company – When Blue Heron Paper Company filed for Chapter 11 protection, its largest secured lender, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., turned to Tim Conway and Mike Fletcher to protect its interest throughout the case, including negotiating with Blue Heron regarding the use of Wells Fargo's cash collateral and regarding the treatment of Wells Fargo's secured claim.
Pope & Talbot, Inc. – When this venerable Portland-based forest products company filed its bankruptcy case in Delaware in late 2007, Tonkon Torp represented the buyers in two different acquisitions. Al Kennedy orchestrated the acquisition of Pope & Talbot's operations in South Dakota and Wyoming by a strategic buyer. Leon Simson represented a private equity fund in the acquisition of Pope & Talbot's Oregon pulp mill.
Fountain Village Development – Al Kennedy and Ava Schoen secured a favorable Chapter 11 restructuring for this commercial real estate developer with a portfolio of 20 historic properties in downtown Portland.
Storables Inc. – In 2009, Al Kennedy and Mike Fletcher helped this prominent retail homewares company to shed debt and pare down its operations by rejecting and restructuring its lease obligations in a Chapter 11. The company emerged from bankruptcy in nine months.
Columbia Aircraft – Leon Simson and his team helped this privately held, Bend-based light aviation aircraft manufacturing company through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy bidding auction, with ultimate sale to Cessna's parent company, Textron, for $26.4 million.
The Columbian Publishing Company – Nine months after we filed its Chapter 11 case, Southwest Washington's largest daily newspaper emerged from bankruptcy in early 2010, thanks to the work of Al Kennedy and Mike Fletcher.

For the first time in human history, human consciousness is connected on the web, whose flow on the open web brings the life on the planet earth to a level that is never imagined before. The flow first manifested itself in the building of its very own infrastructure–the open source movement. Then after accumulating enough experiences, it spreads to the ways of human organizations and other sectors of human society. The unhindered flow of human consciousness brings about the peaceful forces of life to break the barriers that were set up by close-mindedness and ignorance. We are going to witness the flow manifested in many areas.

heading to argentina to teach english...any advice?
I just found out english teaching in argentina doesn't require a degree. (!) That's awesome. Anyone done this before and have any advice?
Part of me wants to wait and get my bachelors, (im just finishing up my associates now) but the other part of me really wants to get the f**k out of here ASAP and find some real women, regardless of whether the pay is shit or not.
anyway, seems like the right thing to do.

i lived there for a year (but back in mid-90s) so things are likely different now....
anyhow my impressions of buenos aires...
i didnt particularly care for it....it was expensive, people were quite snobbish and prone to hystery, the city had high pollution, their spanish is hard to understand b/c its stong accent, hot and cold as f**k depending on season.
however, chicks were hot, but uppity and high maintenance.
lots of cultural shit going on down there but itll cost you.
pizza and ice cream were really good
if you like europe, youll probly like buenos aires, they consider themselves more EU than south america.
marriage is a 3 ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and then suffering.
A seriously bad plan.
"And, it's not necessarily that any work is hard to find, but it's hard to make enough to live on in Buenos Aires. I don't have much experience teaching English there, but I've seen other people trying to get by and personally I wouldn't recommend Argentina if you're looking to support yourself solely by teaching EFL. There's also the visa issue because employers aren't going to sponsor you to get one. That means you have to exit the country every 3 months to renew your tourist visa -- which will also set you back financially. If you go to Argentina to teach English, I suggest you take substantial savings and be prepared to lose money overall."

"As far as salary, it's tough. It's hard to make a good salary. I teach around 25 hrs a week, plus 15 hours or so of commute time and then there's lesson planning on top of that. If I don't have too many cancelled classes, I can scrape together up to $4000 AR or about $1000 USD. It's livable, but just barely. I would be in trouble if I didn't have pretty extensive savings when I came down here. BA's expensive and salaries are low."

"What I am about to write, I am not writing to scare you off, but to impart a bit of the wisdom that came with my experience here, which including more than it's fair share of growing pains and trial and error experiences.
In January 2009, I came here with an open mind, a master´s degree in ESOL, a deep love for Argentina and (most importantly) savings. It has been an unstable roller coaster ever since. In a country that has around 25% annual inflation and not-too-great employment prospects to begin with, with a lot of competition (practically every expat that I have met here is an "English teacher"), living here is very unpredictable in every sense.
Finding housing is complicated (due to the "garantia" system) unless you are paying out the nose in dollars. Especially if you are already in a weak financial situation, it´s not an advisable spot to put yourself in. To be frank, especially in the beginning to at least get set up for a few months, if your experience is anything like mine was, you´ll be hemorrhaging money that you don´t have.
I think it´s also worth mentioning that this country is getting more and more dangerous (I personally haven´t been the victim of a violent crime, but many people, both expats and locals that I know have been, especially muggings and robberies). Moreover I find it frustrating beyond belief that sometimes I can´t get to work, because cutting off the access to main roads, highways, and bridges in the name of "manifestaciones" (protests) is practically a national past time here.

>>>You have just dished out a good reality lesson. People who think "Anywhere but here" may be in for a RUDE awakening.
And Argentine girls? You should fill him in on that scenario. The land in Argentina is spectacular- and the wine country around
San Rafael is really great in some ways. A friend of mine there put it best- if you can just live in Argentina, you will like it.If you have to make
your living there, you will hate it to the bone!
I was not on the prowl in my times in Argentina,- I was working, but Argentina girls seemed pretty stuck up and vacuous to me.
Girls in Brazil, especially outside the cities, and Colombianas seemed much more sincere and approachable.
As you know, people often set themselves up for serious disillusionment.

hey guys. Thank you for the awesome advice. Yeah, I was researching some of the salaries for teachers there.. Like 400/ month when a coffee costs 15. That's insane.
will totally figure out some other options. haha. Maybe mexico? The wages there would be shit too, perhaps I should just wait until I get my bachelors. lol
Some very good advice here.
BTW, Mexico is considered the best place in latin america to teach english, at least as far as salary relative to cost of living is concerned. Plus, your flights back to the US will be a lot cheaper. Another thing is to learn a way to make money online...that will open up a lot of options for you and you won't have to worry about the crazy hours that teaching english often involves.
Making money online should be your number one priority. Try to learn a skill such as graphic design, web design...anything, that people will pay money for. Choose something that you enjoy doing. Here is a helpful article:
http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/20 ... edentials/
Such skills usually pay $25 an hour (at the start). At rates like this, working just 10 hours a week would be more than enough to cover living expenses in some countries.
Buena Suerte!
This was kind of the feeling i got about girls from Argentina from talking to a few on facebook (from a mutual interest group). Very European is the feeling i get, and high maintenance even.
Luckily i'm in the wine industry and I have a job lined up in Mendoza for the upcoming harvest, and i'll get to use that as a springboard to monger in Brasil after work is done. Can't wait.

A lawyer for Danny Escobedo, whose murder conviction was overturned in a historic 1964 U.S. Supreme Court case, said Tuesday that two victims of a September attempted murder now say Escobedo was not the man who shot at them. But prosecutors refused to drop the charges and said someone has been using ``threats or bribery`` to persuade the victims to change their story.
Defense attorney Thomas Farrell brought affidavits into Criminal Court Tuesday from the victims, who earlier named Escobedo as the gunman who fired at them Sept. 22 outside the Cut `N Loose Lounge, 3452 S. Ashland Ave.
