NovaStor's latest release of NovaBACKUP xSP enables service providers to protect Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware-based virtual machines. New management features aid in attracting new customers and importing existing data protection jobs.
Agoura Hills / (CA) USA, August 24, 2011 – Data protection specialist NovaStor announces the availability of Microsoft Hyper-V support for its public cloud backup platform. NovaBACKUP xSP 12.2 enables service providers to offer data protection services to business customers running virtual machines on Hyper-V and VMware. New management features allow service providers to import existing backup jobs into their central management console, thereby massively simplifying the outsourcing process for new customers.
Virtualization: Cost Reduction Meets Data Availability
NovaStor's cloud backup platform NovaBACKUP xSP 12.2 allows service providers to offer cloud backup services to their customers. The client interface is extremely easy to use, however, customers can also choose to let their service provider manage all backup and restore processes up to file level. With NovaStor's latest expansion of support for virtualization technologies, service customers not only benefit from cost reduction through virtualization, but also reduce the costs for protecting their virtual machines. Using a professional cloud backup service for virtual machines under Hyper-V and VMware combines cost savings with full data availability for any number of virtual machines.
Streamlining the Outsourcing Process for Customers
With version 12.2 of the Central Management Console, service providers can import any number of workstations, servers or virtual machine backup jobs a NovaBACKUP client has created and take over the management of these jobs. Whether existing service customers wish to book further services from their provider, or if service providers want to address new customers, the new 12.2 feature to directly import existing backup jobs simplifies the process drastically. Once the service provider is connected with the customer installation, existing jobs can be imported into the central management within a matter of seconds.
"By expanding virtualization support to Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware, NovaStor enables service providers to address a broader target group and to expand their customer base in the business sector. With support for workstations, servers, Microsoft Exchange and SQL, as well as Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware, service providers can use NovaBACKUP xSP 12.2 to offer comprehensive business solutions. The new management features further support service providers who wish to expand their business with existing customers or wish to win new subscribers," comments Stefan Utzinger, CEO at NovaStor.

|New Hero Reveal: Serath
We'd like to introduce you to the latest Hero. We call this melee carry with a split personality... Serath. You'll be able to play Serath starting Tuesday, Jan. 10. Get your first look at Serath above.
Serath (Order, Corruption) is a carry with a unique twist: she fights in melee range. Utilizing each ability in her kit, she's able to close distances quickly, and keep enemies in range to unleash fury upon her opponents.
• Chastise - Serath attacks an enemy dealing damage and applying a slow. This attack also cleaves other nearby enemies.
• Heaven's Fury - Serath hovers in place and hits each target in an area with a ghostly slash. Each slash deals damage one target at a time, with a delay between each attack. Serath is immune to damage and crowd control during this ability.
• Ascend - Rise into the air and then rapidly dive back down, traveling and dealing damage to a targeted area.
• Heresy - Serath lets her dark side take over and her abilities now apply a burn effect which creates a weakness aura around affected enemies. Enemies who are burning also take additional damage from Serath's basic attacks.
As always, all Heroes in Paragon are free, so jump in as Serath on Tuesday. If you can't wait to get your Paragon fix, you don't have to - Paragon is in Free Open Beta, so you can download and play today.
See you on the battlefield!

I could hardly believe it when I checked Mama Kat's writing prompts this week and found a topic I'd already entered as a title during a sleepless night mind-mapping section. So here are my current favorite things, in no particular order. I have affiliate links with a couple of them, but certainly not all. Take this one, for instance:
Non-slip tape. This is awesome! I bought the two-inch-wide clear tape, and my husband put it on the stairs down from the pantry to the back door. Our chocolate lab is thirteen and, um. . . more full-figured than she should be at her age. So the stairs were becoming a problem. After a few days of getting used to the tape she now hops up and down the steps like a pup! Thankfully, we had some left over. It came in handy when I slipped on our old bathmat and tumbled out of the shower. A wet, naked fifty-year-old woman wrapped like a burrito in a shower curtain is not pretty. Thankfully, my husband was home to unwrap me and help me get dried and into bed, where I stayed for forty-eight hours icing my hip and lower back. Now there's tape on the bottom of the tub, too.
Tiffany Reisz books. She's been writing like crazy lately, which makes me incredibly happy. The Red is her latest, and it was simply perfect. It's a book from within her books – a book her main character in the Original Sinners series wrote. So the whole thing is like an inside joke. Her newest, Michael's Wings, comes out today! I can't wait for my local bookstore to order it for me, so I'll download it on Kindle and order it from Carmichael's so I'll have a copy for her to sign 🙂 She'll be in Kentucky later this month, and I hope to get a chance to see her!
Accupressure Pillow. The points on this thing are serious sharp to the touch, but I've slept more than one night with it under my neck or lower back and felt much less stiff than usual in the morning. And yes, they do make them in other colors. But when I have the option I always choose purple. I just noticed these are out of stock now on Zulily, but similar items are available on Amazon as well as most yoga supply shops. If there's a locally-owned yoga shop near you this would be a great item to buy from a local business. I always #shopsmall when I can!
Kiss imPRESS Nails. I swear I wouldn't have even looked at this ad except for Christian Siriano. Yes, the youngest winner of Project Runway, the man who made the term "fierce" popular, and my second-favorite Project Runway competitor. My FAVE is Chris March, who was in the finals competing with Christian. He was snubbed because of his use of human hair in his collection on skirts and lapels. Seriously, it was gorgeous, and there wasn't a celebrity there who didn't have human hair extensions glued, clipped, or sewn into their scalp. Completely hypocritical. Anyway, the nails don't require glue, and can be removed easily. In other words, even someone with a tremor like mine can have a nice manicure for about five bucks without apologizing to the nail tech fifty times. I haven't bought them yet, but it will be happening soon!
Sombra warming pain relief cream. Sorry to add yet another pain-relief item to this list, but you'd be surprised how many people on your Christmas gift list this year can use them. People who are doing hard physical work don't have the time or energy to search out anything past Advil and a heating pad. It's the people like me who pushed too hard for too long that have the answers. This is great because it doesn't go on greasy, it smells like oranges, and it works for HOURS.

Happy Birthday Emily Dickinson Here's to being deep, concentrated and reckless.
Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts on 10 December, 1830, only five days after Christina Rossetti. But these two poets share more than a birth month. Both poets are known as virtual recluses whose sedate daily routines concealed fierce interior lives. Neglected for much of the twentieth century by academics and literary critics, they retained a loyal readership nonetheless, and were respected among poets. See, for example, Edith Sitwell's backhanded compliment: 'Women's poetry, with the expection of Sappho … Goblin Market and a few deep, concentrated but fearfully incomplete poems of Emily Dickinson, is simply awful ...'.
Clearly, a literary recovery was badly needed, and it finally came with feminist critics, who began to discover the value in Rossetti's and Dickinson's poetry of the inner life. In the United States, Dickinson was popularised in 1976 by William Luce's one-woman play, The Belle of Amherst, starring Julie Harris. Her portrayal of Emily Dickinson won a Tony Award in 1977.
In 1987, Sharon Leder and Andrea Abbott's seminal work, The Language of Exclusion: The Poetry of Emily Dickinson and Christina Rossetti, explicitly linked the work of the two poets. This trend continued in fiction with the character of Christabel La Motte in AS Byatt's Possession (1990), who is widely believed to be a composite of Rossetti and Dickinson.
But what did these two contemporaries think of eachother's work? Luckily, we have Rossetti's response. Curiously, she recorded her opinion of Dickinson's poems just one day after she turned 60 on 6 December, 1890: 'I am feeling at 60 very much as I did at 59!', she wrote. Dickinson did not live to see 60, having died in May 1886. Rossetti wrote of her 1890 Poems, 'she had (for she is dead) a wonderfully Blakean gift, but therewith a startling recklessness of poetic ways and means.'
Perhaps Dickinson's work felt a little too close for comfort. Ruskin had once expressed similar reservations about Christina Rossetti's own Goblin Market. Christina's comment has often been taken to be negative, but I think it is more ambiguous. For isn't 'recklessness of poetic ways and means' just another way of saying 'Blakean'? Also, there is no clear indication (bar the carefully poised, elusive 'but' in this sentence) that Christina entirely disapproved of such 'recklessness'.
As both poets are famous poets of winter, let's celebrate Dickinson with the following poem about the season. Along with the poem's frosty delights, look out for the biting humour, another Rossettian feature:
Winter is good – his Hoar Delights
Italic flavor yield –
To Intellects inebriate
With Summer, or the World –
Generic as a Quarry
And hearty – as a Rose –
Invited with Asperity
But welcome when he goes.
One of my favorite Dickinson poems is "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass, " becuse of the last line—"zero at the Bone"—describing the grasshoppper's waist. Such economy of words! Such precise description ! Such odd capitalizations!

Archos' G9 tablets seem to be getting closer to their launch dates. The company just updated its website with official pricing information for both the 80 G9 and 101 G9 tablets. As you might recall, Archos has two Honeycomb tablets in the works aimed at value-minded customers.
These two tablets have a lot in common, including the 720p (5 MP?) front-facing camera, HDMI output, kick-stand and USB slot. But they have some differences as well, like the screen size and resolution. The 80 G9 will have an 8-inch screen with a 1024 x 768 resolution, while the 101 G9 will pack a 10.1-inch screen with a 1280 x 800 resolution.
Both tablets will run Android 3.1 Honeycomb, according to Archos' website. But I'm guessing that information is outdated, since the just-released Android 3.2 version is the one that supports different screen sizes and processors.
And that brings us to the last three remaining details of these tablets: storage capacity, processor and price. Which are, by the way, all directly related to each other. Both the 80 G9 and 101 G9 will have three options to choose from. They're the 8 GB, 16 GB and 250 GB models. If you go with the 16 GB or 250 GB 80 G9 model, or the 250 GB 101 G9 model, you get a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor instead of the 1 GHz dual-core found in the other models. Does your head hurt? You're not alone. Both the 1 GHz and 1.5 GHz processors are Texas Instruments OMAP4 at heart, so I'm guessing the differences between the two are not many.
Without further ado, Archos' G9 tablets will be priced as follows:
Archos 80 G9
- 8 GB – 1 GHz $299
- 16 GB – 1.5 GHz $329
- 250 GB – 1.5 GHz $369
Archos 101 G9
- 8 GB – 1 GHz $369
- 16 GB – 1.0 GHz $399
- 250 GB – 1.5 GHz $469
Those prices are $20 more than initially reported, but $299 for a full-featured Android tablet is still a pretty good deal. Word on the street is these tablets will become available over the coming months, possibly in August or September. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the video below and let us know what you think about these tablets in the comments.

L. J. Noble | London, U.K | 01/23/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If there is such a thing as perfect background music this is it, and it depends on whether you see that as praise or criticism as to whether you like it or not. "We Kiss in a Shadow" has the most beautiful mood and tempo changes in all of Jamal's work, and the groove is sustained in the most elegant and infectious way throughout the whole album. Like Basie, I think the key to enjoyment of Jamal's work is to settle into the groove like you would with African music and forget about pyrotechnics; everything that anyone plays on this record enhances the feel...I think of it as dance music to sit down to, and my vinyl copy is worn out."

A Wyoming LLC is a company formed by filing articles of organization with the Wyoming Secretary of State. A Wyoming LLC can be created online or by mailing in articles of organization along with a $100 filing fee. A Wyoming LLC does not have shareholders, officers, or directors like a corporation. It has members, which are the LLCs owners, and managers, which are in charge of running the LLC.
Wyoming Limited Liability Company
Wyoming LLCs are governed by the Wyoming Statutes – Title 17, Chapter 29 Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act.
How do I form a Wyoming LLC?
There is a $100 LLC articles of organization state filing fee. It costs $2 extra to file online. That's it. Super reasonable for the first LLC to be created in the US and the best LLC in America.
The Wyoming Secretary of State is in charge of filing Wyoming LLCs, and it will take about 3-6 business days to process your Wyoming limited liability company articles of organization if you file by mail. Online filings are processed immediately. If you file the paper form, you have to hire a registered agent, get an originally signed consent form from them, attach that to your LLC articles of organization, and mail in an original and one copy to the Wyoming SOS. Logistically, there's some back and forth that wastes a few days when you form a Wyoming LLC by mailing the articles yourself.
What does your Wyoming LLC service include?
- Unlimited Wyoming Mail Forwarding
- Drafting custom Wyoming company articles of organization
- Filing your LLC with the state same day
- We draft the organizer initial resolution
- Wyoming limited liability company operating agreement
- Wyoming LLC membership certificates
- The Wyoming LLCs state filing fees
- Wyoming registered agent service
- Wyoming registered office service
What is the total Wyoming company cost if I use your service?
$327 for a Wyoming limited liability company and that INCLUDES the state of Wyoming LLC fees.
Should I get a Wyoming LLC bank account?
Sure. It's easy to get a Wyoming LLC bank account. You will apply for a bank account under your Wyoming LLC name, our Wyoming address, and we will forward your Wyoming business bank account checks and debit cards to you when they come to you at our address. We guarantee the final Wyoming Limited Liability Company filed packet we give you will work with your local bank. We also have written a page about how to get a free Wyoming business bank account here yourself. You'll need to get a Federal Tax ID Number before applying for a bank account.
How could I form a Wyoming LLC myself?
If you are wondering How to form a Wyoming LLC, we can help! You just hire us as your registered agent. If you want to file a paper form, we send you a consent form the same day,and you will send it with your Articles of Organization to the WY Secretary of State. If you want to file online, we will give you our legal name to use in the online form, and you will be good to go.
How much does a WY LLC cost each year?
$52. You can renew online instantly, and we remind you of to file your Wyoming annual report each year.
What is a Wyoming Close LLC?
Wyoming has a special election you can make on an LLC to make it a Wyoming Close LLC. Basically the theory has been for many years that if you have a single member LLC it does not have as much liability protection as an LLC with multiple members because an actual business with two non related members might have more of a business purpose than a single individual trying to create an alternative identity behind a single member LLC. All this is stupid in our minds. Why should someone that doesn't have partners not have as much liability protection just because they own the business as a single person? Well, the State of Wyoming agrees and created the Wyoming Close LLC. We've outlined it more in the link above, but it provides a lot of really awesome asset protection and planning mechanisms for single member Wyoming LLCs and closely held LLCs.
How can I use a WY Limited Liability Company for asset protection?
A Wyoming LLC is one of the best LLCs for a number of reasons:
- Exclusive charging order for a judgment against the LLC
- Very conservative court system
- The WY LLC protects the LLC from it's members personal problems
- The WY LLC was made with asset protection in mind
- Wyoming values the single member LLC and provides it protection
A Wyoming LLC cannot be used fraudulently. It's important to remember that just because Wyoming has great asset protection laws for a limited liability company or corporation, you can't just not pay people and hide behind the entity. The Wyoming courts will fight and reward you for honesty and integrity, but they will quickly allow someone to pierce your corporate veil if you fraudulently defraud people you owe. The good news is if you have no bad intentions with a Wyoming LLC company, you should be protected if you run your Wyoming company properly.
How do I transfer assets into a Wyoming LLC?
An LLC must be capitalized. This is a key element to a Wyoming LLC. In particular, because LLCs can be formed in Wyoming without listing the members (owners) or providing this information to the state because Wyoming does not have an income tax return to file. The Wyoming LLC and registered agent service has been commoditized into a war to provide the cheapest service. These services do you an injustice because you will not be able to really document your ownership of a Wyoming LLC. It all comes back to the money. You need to capitalize your WY LLC. You can do this with cash that you deposit into a Wyoming business bank account, and document this exchange through the LLC membership certificates. Another option is to convey assets you own into the Wyoming LLCs ownership. You can document this exchange through an LLC membership interest bill of sale. We've written up an entire article on how to transfer property into an LLC.
How do I know I own a Wyoming LLC?
Great question. Almost every Secretary of State or Division of Corporations does not have companies supply a list of owners. It is generally assumed that the managers or members of an LLC are the owners and that officers and directors of a Wyoming Corporation are the owners. This is not always the case. In Wyoming, you do not list the members or managers on the articles of organization or the annual report. It's super easy to file the documents to form the LLC, but hard to have well written private documents that prove you own the WY LLC. We include all these documents with every Wyoming LLC order and we only charge $100 total to do so. If you'd like to tackle it on your own, a key element is the LLC meeting minutes and we have many free LLC forms you can use.
Could I move my LLC to Wyoming?
Yes, there's a process, and we do it for you for only $100. You can do it yourself, it's just a lot of filings. If you formed an LLC in another state, you can move your LLC to Wyoming and it when you do a name search for your LLC in Wyoming it will show your original formation date of when you organized it in another state and Wyoming gives you a certificate with that date on it.
What are the Wyoming LLC taxes?
There is no personal or corporate income tax in Wyoming. Many people use Wyoming LLCs as Wyoming holding companies to minimize their business taxes. Wyoming has about 6% sales tax if you go to Wyoming and buy something or if you had a brick and mortar business in Wyoming selling something to another Wyoming resident. There are no sales tax reports or anything Wyoming LLCs have to file.
What else should I know about my Wyoming LLC?
Many people form a Wyoming LLC and do not have a competent registered agent that will help them maintain it. If your Wyoming LLC is delinquent with the state, you can complete a Wyoming LLC Reinstatement, and switch to us at the same time.
If you're all done with your Wyoming LLC, there is a process to formally close it. It's called a Wyoming LLC Dissolution.
Wyoming LLC vs Wyoming Corporation:
The biggest difference is that Wyoming LLCs can be formed without providing the names of management on public documents. Wyoming Corporations do not have to list the names on the articles, but on the annual report, you must submit the officers and directors names. The asset protection levels are basically the same. They can be taxed the same with the IRS. They can both be formed as a close LLC or a close corporation for sole owners. They both cost the same to form and maintain in Wyoming.
There are many reasons why to incorporate in Wyoming.
Our LLC Formation Service Includes:
- Same-day filings and instant registered agent service included (renews annually for $125).
- State resources and business maintenance services in your online service account, with self-filing instructions to help you.
- We send multiple annual report reminders, and you can also track your due dates in your online account.
- We locally scan 'service of process' and all documents to you in real-time for no added cost.
- And, most importantly…We're just not annoying™.

Many financial advisors still don't understand how to use hashtags or various link-shorteners or other Twitter tools to guide prospects to their content. Still others are simply having trouble making sense of how to integrate Twitter into their financial planning practice.
But even for advisors who do understand and use Twitter, the inherent limitations can be frustrating. Limited to only 140 characters, it can be arduous to get the right message across on that platform – unless of course you have a certain level of creativity or interest in writing financial planning haikus.
Enter Medium. Though Twitter has gone public and is growing rapidly, many social media experts have been paying attention to this social media platform still in its infancy. You can think of Medium – for now – as Twitter's younger brother.
Medium provides the stage for individuals to submit short stories rather than Twitter or Facebook posts. It targets people who don't have time to read a whole essay or book on a topic, but who also don't glean enough information from a few Tweets on Twitter.
Medium neatly categorizes articles submitted by users. You can set up your own home page to host all of your articles, much like you would on Facebook or Twitter (think of your "Wall"). Then you determine which of the various curated channels your content would be good for and submit your article to that channel.
If the master editor-in-chief thinks it's appropriate, he or she will post the article on the channel. This is an excellent feature because it provides some filtering of content for the end user making it easier to find high-quality content, compared to what feels like an the information free-for-all on Twitter.
Medium has proven to be a good addition to the social platforms I already use in my practice. Advisors can submit articles that illustrate their expertise and opinion or even share items on pop culture that show their voice and personality within the world of social media. "You Make $100,000 and Live Paycheck to Paycheck," is my most frequently read Medium article so far.
Advisors should keep an eye on this platform as I think it will get legs over the next several years. Since it is no different than submitting a blog, if you are blogging already, this will give you an additional channel to promote your content online.

About chickens
There are more chickens in the world than any other bird. In fact, more than 50 billion chickens are reared annually as a source of food, for both their meat and their eggs.
Chickens farmed for meat are called broiler chickens, whilst those farmed for eggs are called egg-laying hens.
The natural life of chickens
Chickens are gregarious birds and live together as a flock with a distinct hierarchy or "pecking order." They would naturally spend their day foraging for food, scratching the ground looking for insects and seeds.
When a cockerel finds food, he may call the hens to eat it by clucking in a high pitch and picking up and dropping the food. This behavior can also be seen in mother hens, calling their chicks.
Chickens tend to range widely, using the cover of trees and vegetation for safety from predators.
Life on some farms and small-holdings is just like that. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the 50 billion chickens reared each year experience intensive farming methods.
The reality of life on the farm
Different methods are used for producing egg-laying hens and meat chickens.

Mr. Yeo: The right hon. Gentleman may have heard me say that I will be introducing a Bill to relax the ownership restrictions. That is something that we are doing that the Government are not doing. Will the right hon. Gentleman support that Bill?
Mr. Kaufman: I shall read it with great care. If it contains provisions with which I agree, I shall certainly support it. As the hon. Gentleman said to my hon. Friend the Member for Stalybridge and Hyde (James Purnell), if he cares to write to me about it, I will write back to him.
As the hon. Member for Lichfield (Michael Fabricant) pointed out, the Bill comes forward as a consequence of a recommendation made in a report by the Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport just under four years ago. That is quite fast in terms of a Government considering a Committee's recommendations. The Bill is important because it creates a framework for one of the most important industries that this country has.
The Department is a sponsor of the most important private sector industry in this country; namely tourism. It is a co-sponsor of the most important technological and manufacturing industry in this country; namely the converged industry of telephones, television and computers that we are looking at today. The more we consider those matters, the more we see that the convergence that the Select Committee looked forward to is, day by day, becoming a more discernible fact.
I regret that, so far, the Prime Minister has not followed up another recommendation that the Select Committee has twice made; namely that an industry of such great importance should have a single Government Department sponsoring it. We have two extremely able and efficient Ministers on the Front Bench tonight, but they come from two different Departments. It is difficult to co-ordinate adequately how the Government should approach such a major industry as this when two Departments themselves must co-ordinate.
The Select Committee report of 1998 recommended a separate Department of Communicationswith its own Secretary of Stateto assume the broadcasting and media
This is a small Bill, but it has huge implications. I welcome what my hon. Friend the Minister said about the method by which the appointments will take place. I very much hope that as the Government consider who should be appointed to take charge of Ofcom, they will dispense with their list of the usual suspects; the great and the good whom both parties have consistently had on their lists year after year. With the Bill, we are beginning to turn over a new page in one of the most important developments that this country will see in the 21st century.
I very much hope that we get somebody who is not only knowledgeable about the industry, but has a dynamic and forward-looking view about where the industry should go. I very much hope that this office will not be added to the multifarious responsibilities of Lord Birt, who has so much to do now that he could not possibly fit in that particular responsibility.
In looking at those who will serve on Ofcom, and at its much wider remit, which the Government may propose in the major and substantive Bill, I hope that the Government will, as has been said earlier, look carefully at the regional dimension. The Independent Television Commission disappointed a great many people
Mr. Kaufman: I see that the hon. Gentleman agrees. A great expert from Sheffield was in correspondence with us about the way in which the ITC was closing down regional representation and regional libraries. I very much hope that when Ofcom is set up, the Government will make clear that there is a requirement to have a regional dimensionif necessary, they should include that requirement in the major legislation.
We are in a curious position at the moment. The hon. Member for Lichfield referred to the decline of ITV. There has been a massive burgeoning of communications, but the main way of watching televisioncertainly until analogue is switched offis through terrestrial stations. Whatever the ownership regulations for ITV may bewhether it continues as it is, or whether a single owner of ITV is allowedI very much hope that the requirement on ITV to maintain regional companies will remain.
Even if the regulations removing the right to have a single owner of ITV are brought forwardI believe that there is a strong argument for thatthat should not mean that there is one ITV company. There should be holding companies for those regional companies. As long as we have the present structure, it is important that the regional aspect be maintained.
Mr. Derek Wyatt (Sittingbourne and Sheppey): My right hon. Friend made an important point about regional broadcasting. Is he disappointed that ITV2 is not ITV
Mr. Kaufman: One of my disappointments with ITV is that it has thought so little about its own future. Give or take one tenth of a percentage point, ITV is still the most-watched channel. The latest figures, over which there was argument a couple of weeks ago, show that it is pretty much neck and neck with BBC1.
It is disappointing that a company that has the ability to be dynamic and has a public service remit mixed with a commercial incentive should have been so unimaginative. There is a dullness and complacency about ITV that will limit its future as a viable company.
Michael Fabricant: I note that the May 1998 report stated:
Despite his remarks about ITV's public service remit, will the right hon. Gentleman pay at least some tribute to regional ITV news? Does he agree that both Yorkshire Television in his region and Carlton in mine have been able to present news on a more local basis than ever before thanks to electronic news gathering, and that they are fulfilling their remit in that respect?
Mr. Kaufman: The hon. Gentleman has got it mildly wrong, as the regional news in my constituency is provided by Granada, although Granada used to own what is now Yorkshire Television. In those days, Granada provided a very good service, but I now find its general service somewhat disappointing. I was discussing with someone only today the really great days of Sidney Bernstein and David Plowright, which produced "The Jewel in the Crown" and "Coronation Street" and made Granada one of the most exciting and innovative television companies. Those days are gone. I strongly believe that we need regional news, but with digital television we can localise even further.
The Select Committee is to begin an inquiry into the major Bill later this month. I am interested in the nature of what is or is not to be regulated. As long as we can regulate terrestrial TV, we should do so, but we should understand the limitations of regulating converged visual communications. Once the internet takes over even more than it has done so far, the ability to regulate visual communications will be severely limited, and it would be foolish to foist on Ofcom functions and duties that it is physically incapable of fulfilling. I hope that the new Bill will be sensible in that respect.
I was surprised that the hon. Member for South Suffolk did not say more about the future of the BBC and Ofcom's role in regulating it. The Government need to think extremely carefully about that and take a much wider perspective. It is interesting that, a few weeks ago, in a letter to The Times in reply to an article about the need for Ofcom to regulate the BBC, Gavyn Davies said:
My hon. Friend the Member for Stalybridge and Hyde asked the hon. Member for South Suffolk about his views on the privatisation of Channel 4 and of the BBC. I believe that it would be outrageous to privatise Channel 4, because I cannot conceive of any private owner being willing to go along with its statutory remit, which I think is very precious.
My views on the privatisation of the BBC may be known to some hon. Members, but I will not state them here, as I do not want to offend my hon. Friend the Member for Stalybridge and Hyde even in his absence. I hope, however, that when the Government produce the major Bill, they will accept that it is an utter anomaly for the BBC not to be regulated by Ofcom. The governance of the BBC is wildly out of date. The BBC was formed 80 years ago as the sole broadcaster of what was then only sound broadcasting. It was a company, then a corporation, of a unique nature, doing a unique thing. That is no longer the situation.
The BBC is now one of the most important broadcasting organisations in the world, and it is no longer appropriate for it to be run by a group of amateurs with very few qualifications in the world of broadcasting who give the chairman and the director-general their head because they have inadequate knowledge to control them.
I know that Sir Christopher Bland was enraged when I raised this in the Chamber before, but one need only look at what happened when the BBC launched its programme to publicise and promote Camelot's scratch cards. That the board of governors was willing to go ahead with turning the BBC into a branch of commercial advertising was deplorable. After I had been subject to the usual abuse, the governors then did exactly what I told them they should do. Ministers, too, may abuse me as much as they like, if they only go on to do what I recommend.
The BBC board of governors is a total anomaly. It is utterly out of date and should be got rid of and replaced with a board of directors with an executive chairman and a chief executive. My beloved friend Mr. Dyke should be the chief executive and no longer the director-general. Part of the rethink when the major Bill is introduced should be that the BBC should be subject to Ofcom in every particular that every other broadcaster is. It is about time the BBC stopped repeating the exordium that it is special, great and noble. It gets £2.5 billion of public money that many members of the public would not want

There are many things we know we can do. As menopausal women we have all lived forty years and more. We are all intelligent women. Most of us have supported ourselves financially at one time or another. A great many of us have raised children, made homes, and learned innumerable skills. We have done the amazing and the mundane. And in our minds we all know that we can do anything if we have to.
Yet there are some things we each dearly desire to do that we feel are impossible. Its as if theres a wall that keeps us from breaking through to our dreams. In the corporate world this wall is called the glass ceiling, above which a woman cant rise. We all suffer from the glass-ceiling effect, whether or not were in the corporate world.
For most of our lives, our generation of women have asked and even demanded that the glass ceiling be removed. The men who built it have not taken it away, though women have raised it. Nevertheless, the glass ceiling cant be raised or removed if we dont get rid of it first in our consciousness, where it has been firmly ensconced.
How many times has someone said to you, Go ahead, you can do it? How many times did you think, Thats not true? How many times did you think, I could do it, if
if I had more money . . . if I had more time
if Id had more support from my parents when I was a child
if Id only finished college
if I were smarter, prettier, richer, more daring? You can add your own qualifications to the list.
It is a sad fact that as young women we were rarely told, Go ahead, you can do it. Even when we hear the phrase now, or as we think about having heard it in the past, there is a little voice that whispers, No, you cant. And then, for whatever reason our clever minds devise, we are suddenly less sure. We immediately become stupid. And from this place, it is an easy downward spiral into the comfort of our complacency.
I recently watched the 1948 classic film One Touch of Venus. In it, Ava Gardner plays a statue of Venus, which comes to life after being kissed by a mortal man. At the films climax, Jupiter drags Venus away from Earth while her mortal lover drives at breakneck speeds to rescue her. The film cuts back and forth between Venus, who is powerless against the male gods, and her lover, who risks life and limb to save her. As she waits breathlessly, he arrives in the nick of time and saves her from the jaws of destruction.
How many films have you seen with endings like this one? How many times have you sat in dark theaters or in your living room and watched the images of women waiting breathlessly while men work furiously to save them? How many of these images do we have embedded in our psyches? How do we break the pattern? How do we reconstruct our subconscious images from rescued to the rescuer, and self-rescuer?
As a very young teenager I was the rescuer of my fantasies. As an older woman I know that any self-respecting woman must become her own rescuer. But though I have known that in my mind, until very recently there was still a part of me that felt I needed to be, and deserved to be, rescued. I also felt that if a man didnt rescue me, I wouldnt be as good as other women who had been. This didnt come from my conscious mind. Im certainly not the kind of woman that anyone would suspect was waiting to be saved by a male hero. And yet, I was. I am not only my mind and my personal will, I am also a social construct made up of messages delivered in a million ways, including those on a flickering movie screens. These are the mists through which we must peer to find our greater reality.
As we become more and more consciously aware of our process and our ability to release the blocks to the flow of positive life energy though our bodies and our lives, we will begin to see that everything around us is a mirror of our inner life. The angry store clerk, the impatient driver, the whining friend have all been obligingly provided by our Spirit for our very own growth and development. They are like clues for our inner detective to direct us to what we need to heal or how we need to grow. The intensity of our reaction to these mirrors is in direct proportion to our need to release them. Our ability to step into the role of the detective to solve our mysteries is hindered only by our fear of what we may find. A good private investigator searches for the truth. The truth can never hurt. The truth will set us free. But to look at our truth takes courage. Often our truth-mirrors are not about healing and growth, but about acceptance and self-worth.
As we look into the mirrors that reflect our true selves, we mustnt exclude the ones that show us how beautiful and strong we are or how far weve come. Mirrors reflect our true grit, our wit, our intelligence, and our potential. Learning to respond to our beauty-mirrors takes as much or sometimes more courage than the ones showing us where we can improve. It means we have to recognize and embrace the true wonder of our own power. Because many of us lack self-esteem, we react to beautiful mirrors with jealousy instead of joy.
Suppose you were having a difficult time with your finances and suddenly found yourself in the presence of wealthy people. If you are aware that everyone around you is a mirror of our true self, then you will see in these wealthy people a mirror of your own prosperous potential. Choose to see your own prosperity in the mirror and positive change will take place quickly.
If you choose to become immersed in self-pity because you dont have what they have, you will only become increasingly angry, jealous and impoverished.
Courage is the key courage to face our fears, accept our foibles, get down with our anger, recognize our magnificence, and explore the themes of our lives. Each of us has come into this lifetime with a very particular set of challenges. There often seems to be a main theme to these sets of challenges, such as money, relationships, death, love, or children. Sometimes its a combination. These challenges are given to us to embrace in order to learn to live joy-filled lives in spite of them.
- What are the recurring themes in your life?
- How do you deal with these recurring themes?
- Do you wish the challenges would just go away? Has wishing worked?
- What could you do to begin living a happy life despite these challenges?
- What would it mean to embrace the worst parts of your life? Do you have the courage to try?

Evan NEVER had diaper rash, until now. He has FIVE....that's right FIVE NEW teeth coming in. And that doesn't count the molars that have been coming in for a while now! I HOPE that it just has something to do with these teeth coming in and this isn't going to be an ongoing problem for us. Everyone tells me its because of these teeth. His poor little bottom started to look AWFUL! All of a sudden, it was so bad that he would SCREAM when we changed his diaper.
We tried a few of the other, regular brand diaper rash ointment but they weren't working!
THEN, I remembered I had some Burt's Bees diaper ointment that my aunt had given me. I put it on him and by THE NEXT diaper change it already looked so much better! I'm assuming it has something to do with the Vitamin A AND E in it. AND it's 100% natural!!!
If you have a baby or know anyone having a baby, I strongly suggest this. I definitely stand behind BURT'S BEES "BABY BEE DIAPER OINTMENT"! I think at some point all babies have diaper rash. LOL, the back even says "Our enriched beeswax formula helps keep Baby dry, comfortable and cooing, while essential oils and herbal extracts work to soothe Baby's delicate bottom.
So tonight, I slathered my baby's "delicate bottom" up after giving him a baking soda bath and hopefully it will be "all better" in the morning! Ok, I know this stuff isn't miracle ointment so hopefully it will at least look a little better in the morning!
Want to get some? Visit Burt's Bees and you can get a 2oz tube for 7.50.
Anyone else have any baby product that they swear by?
OR any other Burt's Bees product that I dont know about? I had no clue they made "Baby Bee" products!

More information on Nut Allergy
Other types of food allergy
Peanut and Tree nut allergies are increasing in frequency and are the most common allergy in both adults and children. There is a difference between the two allergies but there can be cross sensitivity between the groups. They are the group of foods most likely to cause a severe, or Anaphylactic, reaction. Professional diagnosis and care is required to test for food allergies, and complete exclusion of the food type is often recommended due to the severity of some reactions. Never try to self diagnose, or expose yourself to a known allergen, seek advice from a specialist.
Further Information about managing allergies can be found in a variety of resources including

Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids
Breakdown of Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids
Hydraulic fracturing fluids are comprised of a combination of water, sand and chemicals that are injected at high pressure into a well to initiate and to expand fractures in the shale rock.
Water makes up approximately 90% and sand approximately 9.5% of the fluid; and chemicals the remaining .5% of the mixture. The chemicals are used for various purposes, such as increasing the viscosity of the fluid; minimizing corrosion, or "propping" open fractures created by the fracturing process.
For more:
- Energy in Depth: "Greater than 99 percent of the fluid is composed of water and sand, and the small fraction of what remains includes many common industrial and even household materials that millions of American consumers use every day. By both weight and volume, the most prominent of these materials is a substance known as "guar." Sounds scary, right? It's actually an emulsifying agent more typically found in ice cream."
- FracFocus: "The number of chemical additives used in a typical fracture treatment depends on the conditions of the specific well being fractured. A typical fracture treatment will use very low concentrations of between 3 and 12 additive chemicals, depending on the characteristics of the water and the shale formation being fractured."

Supreme Majesty Announces New Drummer
Sweden's Supreme Majesty have posted this announcement on their official website:
Supreme Majesty announces that as of beginning of August, drummer Jocke Unger has left the band. Jocke has other engagements he wants to focus on, among these full-time drumming in the Thrash Metal band Sgt. Carnage. The band wishes him the best of luck in the future!
Replacing Jocke behind the drum-set is the well experienced and talented drummer Johan Rydberg. Known from bands like Sanzia and In Black, he is a replacer well worthy of taking the drum seat after Jocke.
This also means that Johan will play drums on the upcoming third full-length album from Supreme Majesty that will be recorded during the autumn. Stay tuned!

I got a really nice surprise in the mail today! I had forgotten that I responded on Jane's blog - The Mindful Drawer - some time ago, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this when I opened the envelope!
In this lovely, hand-made card, Jane wrote me a sweet note thanking me for some feedback I left on her blog.
And - she included a fun, tangled Zentangle® tile.
Like myself - Jane is a CZT, a certified zentangle teacher. I love the tile she completed for me! A work of love - thank you, Jane! I appreciate the work you do through your blog and through your artwork. Thank you for taking the time to make me two special works of art!

Bamboo Bed Frame by John Kelly
"Your finished meal will only be as good as your ingredients." This applies to furniture too, but many designers seem to ignore this idea. This bamboo bed frame or "Tau Bed" by John Kelly has simple lines, that show off the grain of the bamboo. But the bamboo is only a veneer, inside lies MDF or medium density fiberboard. More often than not, MDF contains urea-formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde, which off-gasses into interior air. Formaldehyde-free MDF does exist — two of the best known are Medex and Medite II. :: Design Republic via ProductDose

Recent flooding has impacted a number of state owned structures, roads and campgrounds and may curtail access to a few favorite retreats during Memorial Day weekend.
Lake Champlain remains above flood level, resulting in the closure of the Ausable Point Campground, the state Department of Environmental Conservation said Thursday.
Also, a third of the campsites at the Northampton Campground on Great Sacandaga Lake are closed because of high water.
High waters have prevented DEC from installing floating docks at many DEC boat launches.
Many access roads and trails remain closed to motor vehicles due to muddy conditions, including the Flume Bike Trail System in Wilmington and the Moose River Plains Road System in Hamilton County.
All other state campgrounds will be open and are expected to be full.
Conditions in the backcountry remain treacherous, with snow persisting in areas above 3,700-feet and in lower elevations on north and east facing slopes.
Cold water temperatures combined with swift moving streams and rivers can increase the likelihood of capsize and hypothermia for boaters, according to DEC.
For more information on conditions and trail information go to www.dec.ny.gov.

Quick Reference
Her books were written for a 'general public' assumed to have no prior expertise, but without ever stooping to sensationalism or inaccuracy. Her first book on folklore, Traditions and Customs of Cheshire (1937), drew on close personal knowledge of that area; her later ones ranged further, but she always tried to observe as many festivals and seasonal customs as possible at first hand. She was always more concerned to describe clearly what was currently done than to speculate on remote origins and lost meanings; her books therefore remain reliable introductions to this aspect of folklore, the most important being English Custom and Usage (1941–2), English Traditional Customs (1975), and British Folk Customs (1976). She also wrote introductory surveys of ghost-lore in Haunted England (1940) and of witch beliefs in Witchcraft In England (1945; more accurately renamed Witchcraft in Britain in the 1977 edition), good for their time but now outdated. The full list of her publications is considerable.
From 1956 to 1978 she devoted much time and care to editing Folklore, thus contributing to the post-war revival of the Folklore Society as a focus for scholarship.
For tributes, bibliography, and obituaries, see Folklore 90 (1979), 665–6;97 (1986), 109–10;The Times (29 Nov. 1985);Jacqueline Simpson, 'Christina Hole', in Women and Tradition, ed. Hilda Davidson and Carmen Blacker (forthcoming).

"It's crazy," Underwood recalls of getting asked to co-host way back when. "I still remember getting that phone call about the first year, and I was like, 'They want us to what?' It was just kinda crazy, and 11 years later, we're still doing this."

Intro/Chorus: (x2)
What my homies gon' do when your sexin a freak?
(I'm gon' sport that raincoat!)
And what my ladies gon' do when you're gettin a piece?
(Make him sport that raincoat!)
Now what makes the world go round besides cheques

And if it's the bomb it'll blow your mind
Even got a number fool it's 69
Coochie coochie coochie coo
Gotta little somethin that you all should do
Ain't no thang but a chicken wing
Sport a raincoat when you play in the rain
Chorus (x2)
Where your minds at, homies? Cos the old days passed
Need a lot more than a shot in your ass
Cure this stuff up today
Yeah, no syphillis, son, that murderer
A-I-D-to the S, take a guess
Where the brush stick and you might take a rest
Caught forever, there's no cure, not a bit
Dyin off quick cos you're careless with the dick
But umm, who's to blame? Say your name
And hope it feel good the last time that you play
Brushsticks and clits don't mix unless you're married
And nowadays, even that's straight scary
Cos a hoochie got a thing about fillin mad holes
So they good for the s** stroll
And it could be your best friend wit the quickness
So grab a firefighter about some business
Chorus (x2)
Now to the ladies of the world, here's a tip for you
When you're wit your homeboy and you're doin your do
He be runnin that trash, "You can trust me, baby"
Next time he say it, say "Fool, you're crazy"

But now it's diseases that'll kill you quick
And it do what it takes just to make it well
Cos sweet potato pie is the favorite dessert
Chorus (x2)
Yo, yo, yo, this is a message to all the honeys and the homies

If you'd like to hear about Liv's birthday party, or see all the photos from her special day today, click HERE!
Dear Liv,
I am completely and totally in love with you. I've never met a baby quite like you- you're so easy going and fun to be around. While you make your desire to be with me above other people known, you've never really had any 'stranger anxiety'. You'll let pretty much anyone hold you, and you're pretty generous with your smile too. Ever since you were a tiny baby, you have been this way- it melts my heart and you make me so proud.
I feel like because of your easy going attitude, you don't have a really a strong desire to get up and go. You're crawling now, but it's still more of a 'hand-hand-scoot' technique rather than moving one knee at a time. Twice, you've pulled up to stand on things, but you can't get yourself sitting again after that. If we help you to stand up next to something (like the couch) you can hold yourself there for a long time. To be honest, even though you consistently roll over to sleep on your belly now, you never seem to roll over from your back to your belly during the day. If I lay you on a blanket, you stay on your back and kick your legs in the air, chew on your toes, or suck your thumb. I'd say you're a lazy baby, but that sounds rude. You're perfectly wonderful, and totally content. And, I love it.
When I sit you down places, you pop right over to your hands and knees, lay on your belly to play, and then move yourself back to a sitting position without any problem. You do scoot around to explore, but mostly you're pleased as punch to wait for your big sister to bring you a toy or entertain you in some way.
Your thumb. Oh geez, Liv. Don't you want to stop sucking your thumb? You're an addict. I have a hard time deciding if it's something we should be more aggressive about stopping, or let it run it's course. For now, I'm leaving you alone about it. Hopefully you'll get bored of it once you're moving around a little more, and busy exploring.
You're not quite as vocal as your sister was at this age. You say Ma Ma Ma all day long, but other than that, not much. You can say "Hi & Da Da" too. Maybe a few more things, but nothing very consistent.
While I've tried like heck not to neglect you for being second born, we have been slackers with you as far as teaching you sign language is concerned. We've barely done it. Sorry baby. I'll try to do a little more. You can clap on command, wave, and high five (softly) though. :) Also, if I hold out my pointer finger you will hold out yours and touch tip to tip. I really like that.
When you make eye contact with anyone in our family, you light up like a firework and we do the same in return. You've got all of us wrapped around your little finger, and we're loving every minute of it. Today your sister told me- "Mommy- you're the birthday Mommy, I'm the birthday sister, and Liv is the birthday girl!!!" She was so excited for you, and had so much fun celebrating your birthday with our family and friends. Daddy had fun too- I know his heart swelled with happiness when you offered him some of your birthday cake just like your sister did on her first birthday. Thanks for sharing sweet girl!
I almost forgot to add my most favorite thing about you! How you snuggle! Often, you'll just rest your little head on my shoulder and make sweet little "Mhmmm, Mhmmm" noises while you rest on me. With Jillian, I had to wait for her to have a fever before she would snuggle like this! It's such a treat to have a healthy happy baby who's willing to hug me like that! Even if you don't want to snuggle, if I push your head onto me and ask you to, you'll oblige for a few seconds before popping your head up and looking at me as if you're asking, "was that enough, Mommy?"
I love you baby. I can't tell you enough how proud I am to be your Mom. You are our sweet little cupcake. Happy Birthday.
P.S. This is IT for Liv's baby blog. I can't believe it. Thursday is going to feel a little vacant now. Don't worry though... If you need your Kules baby fix, just visit us at www.kulesfamily.blogspot.com where I'll continue to keep you updated about the latest happenings in MD!

On Monday we are starting the second week of 'DialogScene' workshop organized by the Peter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation. I will be moderating a "meet the audience" session in the evening.
The final performance of the five brand new operas composed by young composers from all over the world, and directed by young Hungarian directors (music-theater directors' class of Tamás Ascher) is open to the audience and will be held in the evening of Friday, September 15.
Click below for more details.
When I am not teaching I am composing new music to my first opera, The Giant Baby. The world premiere will take place in Vienna as part of the 2018 Armel Opera Festival. I am having a lot of fun with totally re-writing the music to the slightly altered libretto based on the 1926 Dadaist play by Hungarian Author Tibor Déry.
Just so we stick to the theme of the fall of 2017, my latest stage work, 'Georgia Bottoms, A Comic Opera of the Modern South' will get a new production at the Academy of Music as part of CAFe Budapest (Contemporary Art Festival Budapest). Rebecca Nelsen, who sang the title role in Huntsville two years ago returns as Georgia. Also in the role of her son, Nathan I am happy to have the young and talented American baritone, Keith Browning from the original cast. Author of the novel, Georgia Bottoms, my co-librettist, Mark Childress (who will also be here for the Hungarian premiere) and I have added two completely new scenes and changed one of the old ones to make the story more complete. Changes were needed also to give a little resting time and more than a minute to change costumes for rebecca as Georgia Bottoms. The staging will be done by Andras Almasi Toth, and the other 9 roles will be sung by talented Hungarian singers, including Andrea Meláth, head of the Vocal Department of the Liszt Academy. Here are the dates for the performances:
October 8 and 10

Should have been later in the film. Also Revenge of the Sith should have taken place more than 3 years later imo. It would have been cool to see a more calculating, mature Anakin giving orders on a Star Destroyer.
Also I think Lucas should have put more value to Anakin being a master, maybe once he was a master he wouldn't have to hide Padme anymore. And I think Anakin should have had the big showdown with Mace Windu. There was tension built between the characters the entire trilogy. Anakin runs in to see Mace about to kill Palpatine and kicks his butt. Saving Palpatine's battle for his fight with Yoda at the end.
I would have made Obi-Wan a young jedi knight in TPM (maybe in his first real mission as a knight with his rebelious master Qui-Gon). Have Obi-Wan discover Anakin, and have him fight the Council to train Anakin.
Thats a really good idea! I think the movie could have been significantly improved if Obi-Wan was the one that went out to find the parts and Qui-Gon stayed on the ship with the Queen. I mean it makes more sense to have the older more experienced one holding down the fort and the ward to run the tedious errands. Obi-Wan finds Anakin and wants to train him but the council believes he's not ready and wishes to leave his training in the hands of Qui-Gon. Then when he dies, they finally make Obi-Wan a knight and Anakin his apprentice, setting up for his poor training.
