Generic Vantin 100mg Pills
Cefpodoxime (SEFF-pode-OX-eem) is used for treating mild to moderate infections caused by certain bacteria.
How to take
Take Cefpodoxime with food. Cefpodoxime works best if it is taken at the same time each day. To clear up your infection completely, continue using Cefpodoxime for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days. Cefpodoxime should not be given within two hours of antacids or H2 antagonists (eg, famotidine).
Side effects
Check with your doctor if any of these most common side effects persist or become bothersome: Diarrhea, headache, loose stools, nausea, upset stomach, vomiting. Seek medical attention right away if any of these severe side effects occur: Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); bloody stools, seizures, severe diarrhea, skin rash, stomach pain/cramps; vaginal irritation or discharge. Symptoms of overdose may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, nausea, seizures, vomiting. If you suspect an overdose of Cefpodoxime, seek medical attention immediately.
Do NOT use Cefpodoxime if: you are allergic to any ingredient in Cefpodoxime or any other cephalosporin antibiotic (eg, cephalexin, cefprozil). Tell your health care provider if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you: if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding; if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement; if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances; if you have diarrhea, a stomach or intestinal infection, or a blood clotting problem; if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, a severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties, or dizziness), to a penicillin antibiotic (eg, amoxicillin) or other beta-lactam antibiotic (eg, imipenem). If severe diarrhea, stomach cramps/pain, or bloody stools occurs, contact your doctor at once. This could be a symptom of a serious side effect that needs immediate medical attention. Do not treat diarrhea without consulting your doctor. Cefpodoxime is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective for treating viral infections (eg, the common cold). It is important to use Cefpodoxime for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of this treatment and may increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Cefpodoxime and it will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future. Long-term, repeated, or improper use of Cefpodoxime may cause a second infection. You may need to start another medication to treat the second infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Lab tests, including liver function, kidney function, and complete blood cell count, may be performed to monitor your progress or to check for side effects. If you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Cefpodoxime during pregnancy. The medicine is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Cefpodoxime.
Drug interactions
Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following: Aminoglycosides (eg, gentamicin), cyclosporine, or diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because the risk of side effects on the kidney may be increased. This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Cefpodoxime may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
Missed dose
If you miss a dose of Cefpodoxime, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose, and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
Store Cefpodoxime at controlled room temperature between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Replace cap securely after each opening. Brief storage at temperatures between 59 to 86 degrees F (15 to 30 degrees C) is permitted. Keep Cefpodoxime out of the reach of children and away from pets.

You miss 100% of the shots you never take
I recently found this quote in a NY times article that talked about someone who was uncertain about/afraid to apply for a new job. It was originally said by hockey great Wayne Gretzky. I found this saying very relevant to the low to moderate income users of this website and readers of this blog.
What it means is that if you never try (take your shot), you will never even have a chance. So if you never try to go for that job promotion, you have zero percent chance to get it. If you never apply for SNAP food stamps (which as we reported millions of people are qualify for based on their income for some reason do not apply) you will never be able to get that little extra help to pay for your groceries. If you never take the shot to jump at that extra project at work, you will never know if it could lead to a higher salary/promotion down the road.
All of this means if you never take a shot, you are 100% guaranteed to fail. Heck, even if you do take a shot there are of course no guarantees to succeeding, but at least you have tried. This concept is similar to what we wrote about earlier in our Fear of Failure post. It is always better to try, and do not worry about failing.
Anyone that is struggling to pay the bills should always keep this quotation in mind. You will miss 100% of the shots you never take…so if you have a chance for a new job, apply. If you have an opportunity to get some advice on how to budget and/or save more money, take the chance and listen to to the advice you are given. If there is a chance to pay down some debt from asking your creditors for a hardship program, ask. Or take a chance and ask for a lower monthly rate on your cable bill.
The point being there is never any harm in asking and/or trying. Lets say you ask for relief from a creditor. Maybe they say "no". But no sweat off your back. But maybe they will say yes, and lower your monthly payment or give some assistance. Maybe you ask for time off at work for a training class; maybe your employer says no, but maybe yes and they appreciate the fact you want to continue to educate yourself.
A survey from Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America shows that anywhere from 1/3 to 75% of older Americans regret not taking that chance. They mention not taking the chance for a new or better career, not living in a different part of the US or even country, not starting a business, and in general "not taking their shot". Studies from older Americans often reflect that…they regret not taking a shot and it was a miss on their part.
This quotation supports many of the concepts we have been writing about, and there are many other quotes out there as well. Take a shot, and if you don't, you are 100% certain to fail. Take a chance at that new job. Take a chance at starting a business. Do not fear failing. Who care what your neighbors, friends, or family think. There is no need to "keep up" with the Jones on material goods or keeping their "favor". Take a shot on yourself and your own ability.
While no one is ever promised anything in life, and the best things in life are often difficult to get, at least taking a shot gets you into the game. It helps people build pride in themselves and gives many other benefits as well. As you are 100% certain to miss your chance (your shot) if you never take it.

Justyn Knight is here to stay, runs fastest 5,000m in the world
Four IAAF World Championships standards for Canadians at the 2017 Payton Jordan Invitational including a world-leading performance
Canadians produced some outstanding performances at the recent Payton Jordan Invitational in California.
At Stanford University, in Palo Alto, three of Canada's Olympians, along with one of the country's fastest rising stars in Justyn Knight, achieved the 2017 IAAF World Championships standard in their respective event.
Justyn Knight
Justyn Knight @justyn.knight @suxctf @AthleticsCanada #Canada finishes 1st 13:17.51 5Km 2017 #PaytonJordan 05 May 2017 Sam McEntee @sammcentee @athleticsaustralia 2nd 13:17.55 Gabriel Geay #Tanzania 3rd 13:20.55 Edward Cheserek @kingcheserek @oregontf #GoDucks @GoTrackTown 4th 13.24.72 #ncaaTF @ncaatrackfield #NcaaTFcarousel #USATF @usatf #UsatfCarousel #IAAF @iaaf_athletics #IAAFcarousel
Toronto's Justyn Knight, a student at Syracuse University, ran a world-leading 5,000m time for 2017 on Friday, 13:17.51. Not only was that a lifetime best for Knight, he beat collegiate rival Edward "King Ches" Cheserek who was expected to take the spotlight. Knight narrowly defeated Australia's Sam McEntee for the race victory.
The previous Syracuse University record was 13:27.23. It was the fourth-fastest men's 5,000m mark of all-time by a collegiate athlete during the academic year.
Andrea Seccafien
Not every race goes as you had hoped & planned, but rather leaves you wanting to do it all over again. However, those are the races that serve as motivation during tough workouts & provide priceless experience 💪🏽 Content with running a slight PR for my '17 season opener, but definitely left me wanting more! Cheers 🍻 to everyone feeling like they have "unfinished business" after this weekend! #AdidasRunning #PaytonJordan 📷 @tafphoto
A 2016 Olympian in the 5,000m, Andrea Seccafien secured a qualifying mark for the IAAF World Championships in London in the 12.5-lap race. Clocking 15:21.64, which ranks ninth in the world as of this writing, dipped under the necessary standard for Canada by 0.36 seconds.
Kate Van Buskirk and Jessica O'Connell narrowly missed the standard running 15:22.17 and 15:22.35, respectively. It should be noted that athletes, excluding marathoners, have until July 16, 2017 to run a qualifying time standard.
Geneviève Lalonde
Canada's record holder in the women's 3,000m steeplechase ran her fastest-ever season debut. Geneviève Lalonde, an Olympic finalist, hurdled and ran her way to 9:36.88 and she says she wants to run faster than 9:20 this year to lower the Canadian benchmark, currently 9:30.24, even further.
Mohammed Ahmed
The Canadian 5,000m record holder, both indoors and outdoors, set a new personal best in the 10,000m finishing second to Australia's Patrick Tiernan. Ahmed, 26, ran 27:30.00.
Cheese, salt and honey! Left the track thinking I broke that 27:30 barrier? 🤦🏾♂awkward! Hey @tiernan_patrick How is the other side? https://t.co/lblf4C6dE5
— Mohammed Ahmed (@Moh_Speed) May 6, 2017
His time is ranked second in the world as the top-two marks are from Payton Jordan, one of the more popular races for collegiates and professionals on the spring track circuit.

Grapebreeders Home Page
Developed by Elmer Swenson in mid-late 80 and never released with a name. Meeri Saario from Finland got it in the mid 90's and got permission to name this vine. She named it Adalmiina.
This variety is very disease resistant, though moderate winter hardiness to app. – 30 F. Berries golden and up to 22 Brix (90 Oe) TA 0,6 to 1,0% and pH up to 3.6 Clusters are medium in size up to 160g Wine style is like a French Muscadet, great for rich seafood. Can be a bit astringent in the finish. Wine has very good body with a light floral nose.
Heavy cropper, hermaphrodite and very early. 3 to 4 Brix (and 1-2 weeks) ahead of Esprite, St. Croix and Edelweiss.
Elmer's own notes 1997 on ES 6-16-30: White, medium size tender berries. Very vigorous & Productive. Very juicy and sweet. Winter hard. Very early.
BS - 45 miles west of Chicago: On August 20 we had fruit with 19.5 brix, 3.40 pH and a TA of 5.4 g/L. Nice acid pH balance. Very low brix was the rule last year for everything. It probably should have been harvested then but I was trying to hold it for a grower meeting. We soon lost it to yellowjackets. Aurore was almost identical numbers but higher TA (7.2 g/L). St Croix at that time was at 18.0 brix, 3.16 pH and 8.4 g/L TA. It's definitely early material.
MH: I also decided to go to the numbers and see how ES 6-16-30 has done here in cool northern Wisconsin (ave 1800 GDD 50F)
In 2005 :
On 20 Sept. 6-16-30 was at 18.4 brix. Notes: 'white, productive, not quite as ripe as sister ES 6-16-24 (21.4, ripe), but with slightly larger berries. Sister ES 6-17-37 (19.4 brix, not ripe). Not ripe yet.'
Other sampling on 20 Sept: St. Pepin 21.3, Regent 20.9, Louise Swenson 23.3, Foch 21, Frontenac 22.1 (2.6 pH)
In 2006 (quite warm year):
on 13 Aug 2006 - not at veraison, hard as a rock.
on 20 Sept. 2006, 'white, 20.1 brix, slight labrusca flavor, low-moderate acid' It was ripe.
Other sampling on 20 Sept 2006: St. Pepin 21.9, Foch 21.2
SP: We harvested it last weekend 8/5/07, the berries were golden, it was at 22 brix and PH of 3.6, we got 20 gal of juice from about 240 lbs. Very disease resistant, it was only sprayed once this year, and that was because we were spraying for Japanese beetles. You can tell it has Seyval in its parentage. This was the first year we cropped them, I would say they averaged about 15 lbs per plant. Tom Plocher has said that it doesn't like to give up its juice but we didn't experience that. Tom has also said it has been sometimes inconsistent in its behavior, taking 40 below F some years without damage, but taking damage in some years where it was not such extreme cold. Tom also says it makes a very good dry white like a French Muscadet, that just begs to go with lobster or other rich seafood. I can tell you more after we finish the wine, we split it into four batches of five gallons & are using different yeast on each.
Feb. 2008: We made four wines from it each with
a different yeast, the best was with 1116 it made a very clean crisp wine that
didn't need any adjustment our wine maker sweetened one of the others a little
too much and one had a alcohol bite to it. Elmer gave Meeri Sarrof the naming
rights he called Adalmiina. No hint of labrusca in anything. Very like a French
muscadet like the MNgrapes site described.

Since retiring from university life I have been offering researchers support in the form of tutorials, mentoring and consultancy. My particular interest is in using Narrative Inquiry, Autoethnography and other reflexive, creative and collaborative approaches to research. This service is offered to individuals or small group of people.
Sometimes people are referred to me by their university tutors and sometimes they seek me out themselves having read my books and published papers. Initially, I usually meet with the person for a two hour session in my home and begin to establish a relationship, whilst finding out about their proposed research. If the person prefers, we can continue to meet face-to-face as and when that is needed. Or we continue by booking a slot for a Skype, Face-time (iPad users), or phone session. I charge an hourly rate of £70 for my time for this work (ie £105 for 90 mins), whether face-to-face, online or for reading work and giving feedback (usually by email or phone). In some cases the referring university will pay some of the cost of these sessions and the shortfall is made up by the student.
I also provide one-off meetings for advice, discussion or referral suggestions for researchers.

At Jefferson TAB meetings during lunch on March 6th, Ms. Wall and Ms. J. Miller announced the author coming to the 2018-19 school year all-TAB meeting. The all-TAB meeting is an annual event where all the TAB clubs in Arlington –every middle and high school has one– gather to meet a young adult author. Each attendee receives a copy of the book (as supply lasts), which they have the opportunity to get signed at the all-TAB meeting. (This year's all-TAB meeting will be at Yorktown High School on April 24th.)
This year's all-TAB author is Pablo Cartaya, author of the 2019 Jefferson Battle of the Books contestant Marcus Vega Doesn't Speak Spanish. He also wrote the 2018 Jefferson Battle of the Books contestant The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora. "Marcus Vega Doesn't Speak Spanish is a great book," librarian Ms. J. Miller says. "I related to the main character, Marcus."
Also announced at the March 6th TAB meetings was the author who's visiting TJ for the April 25th annual TJ author visit. And, like it or not, Pablo Cartaya is also going to be visiting Jefferson for that event! Ms. J. Miller says that this was partly a coincidence. She says that APS schedules the all-TAB author. Administrators, teachers, and the TJ PTA plan the TJ author visit. "It helps to schedule an author if the author is already in the area," explains Ms. Miller. As a result of this lucky chance, TAB members will see Pablo Cartaya twice… thrice if they win the drawing of reading 500 minutes or raising $150 through the Jefferson Read-A-Thon.
(A reminder to TAB members: Remember to turn in your permission slips to (most likely) get a free copy of Marcus Vega Doesn't Speak Spanish.)

We've got some big plans, but we need your help!
APP would LOVE to provide our Vet Ranch doctors with a mobile vet clinic! A mobile clinic would allow them to assist more animals in the community. They could more easily offer lifesaving vaccines, provide microchips to help pets find their way home if ever lost, and spays/neuters to help decrease the current overpopulation problems we face.
Thank you for contributing to our cause!

America's voting system is crazy — here's what you need to know
Why do U.S. presidential elections take so long?
America's two main political parties — Democratic and Republican — choose their respective nominees through party-sponsored contests in each of the states and U.S. territories, a process that starts in February and takes up to five months.
Iowa and New Hampshire traditionally kick off the process early in the year, and then other states follow — but before that, candidates have typically spent a year laying the groundwork for campaigns in those regions.
Once each party has a candidate, they spend the rest of the summer and autumn campaigning until the general election on November 8.
Why do they cost so much money?
Also unlike some other countries, there's no limit on how much you can spend. A presidential campaign can cost up to $1 billion — and that's not even counting money spent by outside groups. It's not cheap to travel across the country for two years or more, buy advertisements on television, and pay a small army of campaign workers.
What's the difference between a "caucus" and a "primary"?
A "primary" is what most people traditionally think of when they imagine voting – people show up at a neighborhood polling place to vote for their candidate by ballot.
A "caucus" is very different. It's a neighborhood event that requires several hours of active communal participation and debate, and takes place in the evening in a home or public space, depending on the size of the caucus location.
Why are Iowa and New Hampshire so important?
While they comprise just a tiny fraction of America's voters, they play an outsized role in the nominating process by virtue of going first.
Results in these states provide a snapshot of a candidate's popularity, organizing ability and momentum. Expect to see a few candidates who fare poorly drop out after Iowa or New Hampshire.
When will we finally know who the nominees will be?
We usually know who the party nominees will be by late spring, but they are not officially chosen until the national party convention in the summer.

text: I picked up the Pigment Multi Sculpt Tank yesterday anticipating not liking the Inspire Crops and wanting *something* in this print. I'm not sure I like the design of this tank. The swift material is soft, light and silky feeling but something about the cut of the armholes and the high neckline I'm just not feeling. I don't think I'd gravitate to this over a CRB for a run or workout but I do like that it looks nice as casual wear. If I wear it for running, the neckline is so high that I wouldn't be able to use the pockets in my Run For Days Bra. The length is perfect I think, and the material is stretchy and flowy without being baggy. I don't know….what do you guys think? Have you liked the Sculpt Tank?

BEIJING, Oct. 10 -- Peace, stability and development in cross-Strait relations is only possible by upholding the one-China principle and opposing "Taiwan independence," a mainland spokesperson said on Tuesday.
Ma Xiaoguang of the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office made the remarks in response to a speech by the island's leader.
Ma reiterated the mainland's attitude and stressed that whatever propositions made by the island's authority, the key to cross-Strait relations is that Taiwan and the mainland belong to one China.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the opening of people-to-people communication across the Taiwan Strait.
The most important lesson from those 30 years is the fundamental role of the one-China principle, said Ma.
Only by upholding the one-China principle and opposing "Taiwan independence," can both sides promote communication and cooperation, said Ma.

The opening scene in Monument Valley would have been better
if they hadn't decided to use an incredibly lame
animatronic eagle,
so the guitar in this is dusty like photographs of Monument Valley,
Monument Valley sunset during fire season.
So I quit the job and had a vague plan to go to Monument Valley
in Utah or Colorado or wherever Monument Valley is because I
had seen it on a TV show.
I could make it to Monument Valley, but there isn't
anything there but monuments and I am not ready to spend
that much time there.
I started to head toward Monument Valley for a few miles,
but it was late in the day, the sun would set soon, and I
didn't want to be out in the desert, in unfamiliar territory,
alone and after dark.
By the time I got to Monument Valley, though, the weather had
turned to rather dramatic thunderstorms.
It may be untrue that I am now in Monument Valley; perhaps
I've seen too many John Wayne movies lately.
Monument Valley, in southern Utah, is one of the most
spectacular places on this good earth.
However, I picked the road out that was difficult to drive
in order to see Valley of the Gods and
Navajo Monument Valley.
It was the black and white photographs of Josef Muench taken in
1936 which convinced the famous
movie director to film the movie "Stage Coach"
in Monument Valley,
but one after a long-term relationship went bad, but so slow
in coming, like watching a horse and rider make its
mile-by-mile way across Monument Valley, only to let
the rider still surprise you upon arrival and put
a bullet in your heart.
He likes a big, well-oiled, throbbing, extremely butch
government that can stare with weary eyes out from
a weathered face upon the blasted desert landscape
of Monument Valley.
I can fly from here to Monument Valley in less time than
it takes you to wash your ugly face!

I have discovered a theme in my walk with God. That theme is trust. Trust is the number one thing God and I talk about. It's the number one thing I struggle with. To be perfectly honest, I truly struggle to trust God in all things. God has never failed me, so I'm not entirely sure why it's still a struggle. I know God is for me, and I know His Word says He is faithful. I know God's Word is full of promises, and that those promises are all 'yes and amen', but I still struggle when it comes time to trust God.
Now that we're expecting a baby (yay!), I'll be quitting work to be a full-time mommy! This has been my dream since I was a little girl, and I'm so looking forward to it finally becoming a reality. Since Daniel and I were engaged, we made it a priority to be financial able to live off of Daniel's income. We could have afforded to buy a bigger house, new cars, always have the newest cell phones and gadgets. However, we wanted to have the freedom for me to quit working whenever I became pregnant. We live on a budget and try to spend money wisely. Recently, I've started to get concerned about affording a newer and bigger house one day. We're not looking for a new house, but I started realizing that prices had been going up a lot just in the last year. So, I started thinking, "How will we ever be able to afford anything else in our budget without a HUGE increase in finances, or without two incomes?" Then my husband reminded me that I had that same concern before we bought our current house. Two years ago when we were looking for a place to buy, I was worried we would never find anything in our budget unless we lived in a really bad neighborhood where I didn't feel safe. The reality is, we live in a nice home in a great neighborhood and our house has all the things we really wanted – 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, an attached garage, and in a nice neighborhood. It had everything we asked God for in our first home!
I am having to go back to the Word of God, and trust Him. I cannot think as this world thinks, or believe the lies of the enemy. I am being more intentional to take every thought captive and hold those arguments against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5).
The Word says, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." – Matthew 6:25-34
Every time I've worried about something, and then made the decision to trust God instead, He has been faithful. Let go of worries and just let God do what He does best – Come through for us and remain faithful. Just trust what the Word of God says and see what happens.

Arthritis In Your Back Is Not The Source Of Your Pain
Almost daily, I talk to people who tell me they have bone spurs and all of them attribute their spine problem to it. Most likely, they had x-rays years ago at their primary care's office and had their doctor tell them they will only get worse. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in practice today.
Did you know that 98% of adults have some sort of arthritic changes in their neck? 70% of adults with no back pain have disc bulges seen on MRI's. If arthritis was the cause then why don't 98% of us walk around in debilitating pain? There are a number of types of arthritis; but in most cases, it is shortened from osteoarthritis or degeneration.
Can degenerative changes affect the spine? Yes, mostly it will add some minimal stiffness or soreness, especially in the mornings. It is not going to cause life-long pain and agony. There are a few circumstances where degeneration can cause serious conditions, but they are few and far between. Believe me when I say that I have helped hundreds, if not thousands of people with arthritic changes because it was not the actual problem.
When I treat my patients, I treat them beyond any arthritis or bone spurs. I treat the fundamental biomechanics of the body to get them functioning as close to 100% as possible.Tags: Biomechanics, Degeneration, Fitness, Health and Wellness, Osteoarthritis

I hinted at some big news last week, and I'm finally ready to share it. I'm moving!
Image Source: Marina Nisi
My husband was offered a transfer within his company that he couldn't resist. It's a great job, but there's just one catch: we are moving to Dallas!
I will be very sad to leave New York. We've only been here three years, and I thought our time in NYC would last a little longer. There is so much that I will miss about this city, from the people to the food to the sights. That said, I'm really excited about moving to Dallas!
We are moving at the end of March, so the next month and half will be pretty crazy. Bear with me if I miss posting a few days here and there. If you know anything about Dallas (especially downtown, where we are planning to move), please share. I've never even been there, so I can use any advice you can give!

Professional triathlete Zach Winchester raced his new Litespeed Archon C1 at the Pontevedra ITU Premium European Cup in Spain this past weekend. Since ITU triathlon races are draft-legal during the bike portion, the Archon C1 is an obvious choice due to its smartly designed aerodynamic properties which we call Aerologic. Now, the C1 is ITU race-tested, and Zach's review appears below. Thanks to East Ridge Bicycles for supporting Zach and Litespeed!
Bike set up:
Frame: C1 - size ML
Comp group: SRAM Red with Quarq powermeter
Wheels: Zipp 404 tubular at roughly 115psi
Stem: 3T aluminum
Handlebar: Easton aluminum
Saddle: ISM Racing
Pedals: Speedplay X1
According to Zach, the ride of the Archon C1:
To start, I should have run slightly lower tire pressure, as the roads were not exactly smooth, and they were slightly wet. 110psi or less would have felt much better. That being said, the C1 is the stiffest and most responsive bike I have ever ridden. Additionally, the bike is balanced very well; by this I mean when cornering, at high speed descents, and quick decision maneuvers, I felt as if the bike stuck on the road underneath me, as opposed to me having to manipulate the bike. Does that make sense? One thing I will note is that this is not a forgiving frame. Due to the construction of the seat/chain stay bottom bracket interface, there is no give, which I like and need as a cyclist. However, I am 28 years old and need a bike like this. On the flip side of the coin, I don't know how this bike would feel underneath a 65 year old going for an easy spin around the Battlefield or doing 3 Mountain 3 State. In my opinion, there are very few bikes at this caliber, and the C1 definitely belongs in the small fraternity of super bikes.
Thanks Zach!

The butterfly effect's been mentioned a few times in Until Dawn's PR, a cause and effect system that alters outcomes and options as you play. According to director Pete Samuels it creates hundreds of endings and thousands of possible ways to get there.
Until Dawn's teen horror movie homage resurfaced at this year's Gamescom after a long silence. In that time it's transformed from PS3 Move oddity to a sterner, Eli Roth-tinged horror game that's promising hardcore scares. It's a classic mix of teens trapped on a mountain, a ramshackle cabin and murderous mask wearing freak. How those familiar ingredients mix however is up to the player, and if developer Supermassive deliver on its promise it will create near endless potential. "Everyone can survive and everyone can die", explains creative director Will Byles.
The potential variation goes deeper than just a Heavy Rain-style, 'who's left at the end?' set up. The idea of a butterfly effect means that almost anything can have an impact on the story, and the route you take through it. "Somebody might choose something insignificant that they did halfway through [which] means they had a very different story to someone that didn't do it," explains Pete. If you want to pick out every possible variation the game throws up at every level he claims that the possible combinations reach "17 million million million... some stupid ridiculous number", but adds that that level of differentiation is, "clearly dishonest because that doesn't define a unique story".
"You don't simply get to the end of our game and chose the ending you prefer. All possible variations on your ending are determined and influenced from the outset"
Instead, the team is focusing on "hundreds of significant, noticeable variations on your ending" according to Pete. These will be reached via various branching paths involving conversations, decisions and deaths that he says create "thousands of different routes towards the end". Choice will apparently be shaping your story the whole time you play.
"You don't simply get to the end of our game and chose the ending you prefer. All possible variations on your ending are determined and influenced from the outset. That's the butterfly effect," explains Pete. "Whatever you do through the game is going to define, and carry on defining, how many of these endings are still available to you. Until obviously, when you get right to the end, it's limited at that point as to what the outcomes can be".
These variations won't always be obvious, huge junction points either. "It can be quite a small action you take that causes the ripples," explains Pete. The ramifications of these decisions will be logical he claims: "It isn't random. It's not that you do this one thing and something else happens 50 yards away immediately on the mountain. There are connections between what you do and how that influences what other people think and what other people feel".
So rather than choosing door 'A' or door 'B', influential actions can be as basic as a conversation that "changes [a] character's beliefs or perceptions of the situation [and] therefore makes them behave in a different way when you're not controlling them". Although it can span right up to obvious major choices such as the one shown at a recent Gamescom demo where the player was forced to choose between killing themselves or another member of the party. "The immediate ramifications of that are fairly transparent," points out Pete, "but even in that one instance there are further big ripples and ramifications based on the choice that you make there that just aren't apparent at the time that you make that call".
This level of variation and the fact that no character's survival is guaranteed means that the game's story has to be built with multiple combinations of characters in mind. The example I proposed to the pair was a fictional cut scene towards the end of the game with two survivors. I asked if, would that have to be shot with every possible combination of character to allow for every possible outcome? "That's correct, yes," says Pete. "It's genuinely a huge, huge undertaking," adds Will, highlighting previous claims that no one is going to see everything, possibly even after multiple playthroughs of what't purported to be a nine hour game.
One feature that will really underline all this is that you only get one save, says Pete: "Each time you make a significant choice we replace your save game". As someone with the worst willpower in the world for re-loading checkpoints until I get what I want, I actually love the idea of this: being forced to live with your decisions is something games rarely do. "You could certainly go back to the start of the game and start again if you wanted", says Pete, "but you can't go back to the previous save until you've completed the story once".
It's going to be a controversial decision and one the team is aware could be painful. "One thing we have to guard against there are some of the frustrations where people might see something that they wanted to do, put it off doing it until later and then not get the chance to because they did something else. We're conscious of that as a potentially frustrating mechanic for players, so we'll build our design to accommodate that. In essence though, you go along a path, and just like life, once you've made your decision you can't then make another one".
Until Dawn will be releasing on PS4 in '2015'.

Dozens of Hong Kong protesters escaped a two-day police siege at a campus late Monday by shimmying down a rope from a bridge to awaiting motorbikes in a dramatic and perilous breakout that followed a renewed warning by Beijing of a possible intervention to end the crisis engulfing the city.
Clashes rumbled throughout the day between protesters and police who had threatened to use deadly force to dislodge activists holed-up in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The university siege has become a battle of wills between Hong Kong's stretched police force and the constantly-innovating protest movement.
Late Monday dozens of black-clad protesters used a rope to slither down several metres on to a motorway below where they were picked up by waiting motorbike riders. In an apparently co-ordinated effort, thousands of Hong Kongers streamed towards the PolyU campus to break the siege, as clashes simultaneously raged with police nearby in Kowloon.
It was not immediately clear how many protesters remained inside PolyU.
Monday's events were part of a new phase of violence and drama that began last week and has led to chaos throughout the city of 7.5 million people, with schools closed, train lines disrupted and major roads blocked by barricades.
China has refused to budge on any of the protesters' demands, and warned it will not tolerate dissent in the semi-autonomous city.
Chinese soldiers briefly appearing on Hong Kong's streets over the weekend supposedly to clean up debris fuelled concerns it could intervene militarily.
China's ambassador to Britain upped the ante on Monday.
'The Hong Kong government is trying very hard to put the situation under control,' Liu Xiaoming said.
'But if the situation becomes uncontrollable, the central government would certainly not sit on our hands and watch. We have enough resolution and power to end the unrest.'
Earlier, police made dozens of arrests as protesters made a dash for it — sometimes beating people with batons as they held them on the ground. 'Other than coming out to surrender I don't see any viable option for them,' Cheuk Hau-yip, Police Commander of Kowloon West, told a press conference, before the daring breakout.
The area has been designated a 'riot' zone — a charge of rioting carries up to 10 years in prison — and Cheuk reiterated that police will use 'live rounds' against protesters if faced with deadly weapons.
Protests started in June as a peaceful kickback against a now-shelved China extradition bill, but have morphed into a confrontational action to defend the city's unique freedoms from perceived encroachment by Beijing.
Fear gripped protesters inside the campus — whose occupation is a twist in tactics by a leaderless movement so far defined by its fluid nature.
One 19-year-old, who gave her name as 'K', said there was desperation among those who remained.
'Some people were crying badly, some were furious, some agonising, because they felt hopeless as we were left no way out of the campus.
'We don't know when the police will storm in.'
Protests erupted in several other parts of peninsula Hong Kong, with makeshift barricades across normally bustling shopping streets, the road surfaces strewn with bricks to hamper vehicles.
Police fired tear gas at groups who had gathered in the Tsim Sha Tsui and Jordan areas, where they also made a number of arrests, in hotspots active deep into the evening.

I should probably start this piece with an admission. I have pretty close ties to Canberra Rep and I know nearly all of the people in this piece. So if you are looking for objective reviewing, this is probably not the review for you. This said, I'll try and give my honest opinion of the show.
On the whole, I think it's a very well performed show, but it's built on a rotting foundation - the script is really... not good. I love the concept. I love the ideas. I find the idea of chicklit for the stage very appealing. I find the idea of any genre fiction for the stage very appealing, which is why I liked Quack at Griffin Theatre last year so much. But as a script, Secret Bridesmaids' Business just does not work for me.
It's about half an hour too long and a lot of the jokes - and there are jokes, which I think the cast made a really good job of - are obscured by too much dialogue. There should be serious questions underpinning even the fluffiest of entertainment, and Secret Bridesmaids' Business certainly has one of these - if it were you, and your fiance were having an affair, and you were getting married in twelve hours... would you want to know?
Unfortunately, there was simply too much stuff in this play for that question to get adequately answered. I appreciate - and respect - that Coleman was trying to give all six of her characters clear and separate motivations. But in doing so, she's obscuring the key question of the play, which is deep and serious and ultimately tragic. And great humour arises out of great tragedy, and so we don't get a sense of either.
The thing that really doesn't work for me at all is the monologues that Coleman has given each character. They function as an alienation device: which is fair enough, theatrically - that's an option you have open to you. But they break the 'show, don't tell' rule on the most fundamental level, and I honestly don't think the show would have lost that much if you left them out. I think that in the second act they're meant to redeem the two characters who are the most unlikeable - James, the cheating groom, and Naomi, the other woman. With the latter, it succeeds to a degree; with the former, not so much. But any sentiments that Coleman was dying to get out in these monologues, I think she could have done through dialogue. They're awkward, they break the flow, and seriously? if you wanted a scene change, a lighting change or a blackout would have done.
All this said - and even though I am good friends with most of the cast, I say this honestly - the cast do a really good job of what is an achingly clunky script. The standout and showstealer is Anita Davenport as Lucy, who does a stellar job. Lainie Hart is also excellent as the bride Meg, and the rest of the cast - Heather Spong as Angela, Alex de Totth as Naomi, Trish Kelly as the mother Colleen and Martin Searles as the groom James - all do very well indeed. There's no weak link casting-wise, though the show does get off to a very nervous start and doesn't really crank into gear until Lucy enters (about ten or fifteen minutes in).
No, the problems of this show lie in the script, front and centre. This show has all the right ingredients for a fun night out - chicklitty fluff with an excellent cast. You should not be thinking 'when is this going to end?' And I was.
I like Coleman's ambiguous ending - I won't give it away, but it's pretty decent - but I wish it was more ambiguous. I think there's obvious signs as to which way Meg chooses, and I think the show would be far more effective if it were less clear. It would certainly provide more food for thought. And it would be even better if the show were half an hour shorter. Honestly, if you took a brutal red pen to this show, then you might come up with something half as long and twice as good.
Right. Enough harping on the script. The set is very good and highly functional and the costumes are extremely effective - the bridesmaid dresses strike just the right level of total fugly. The bridal gown is also very appropriate (though I did notice it needs to be ironed!) And wherever Meg and Lucy buy their clothes, I want to shop there. I saw this show twice - on preview night and then again on the Wednesday of the final week - and the technical hitches that were there during preview had been fixed by the second viewing, which I was glad to see. (No surprise blackouts in the middle of scenes = good times.)
The one thing, production-wise, which really does let the show down is the music. When you walk in, you'd be forgiven you were going in to a stage version of a Hornblower novel. It's all terribly naval and British, and although I think it was supposed to be a wedding march, I just wanted to salute. Also, there's this one piece which played during interval which seriously sounded like it should be in a Hammer Horror movie. Considering that this show is pretty much the opposite of Gothic, that's something that needs to... considered. And there was totally a golden opportunity here to use all those cheesy wedding songs that everyone hates - all that Celine Dion and Shania Twain and... hell, you could have used the nutbush. Missed opportunity, I think. (This idea was not mine, though I wish it was. The trashy wedding song notion belongs wholly to my friend Rashmi. But that picture of Celine is ALL ME.)
I really wanted to like this show. I think the cast is great and sound aside, I think the production values of this show are pretty good, especially considering it's amateur. But seriously, this script has problems. People should really think twice before performing it - or at least bring a red pen and be prepared to use it. Chicklit for the stage is a great idea. But just because it's fluffy doesn't mean it doesn't have to be punchy.

Day 53 / 104 - Latin Word Wall
Man, those Romans. It's no wonder that their empire succeeded economically, politically, culturally, and strategically. Trying to decipher all the nuances of the Latin language (and we've only learned very few) has assured me that they were an intelligent bunch!!
My son and I are working on memorizing the basics of this subject in hopes that with time, our understanding of Latin will deepen. So, over the past week, my son covered our kitchen wall with some of the vocabulary we need to memorize. We're working on memorizing the Latin word, its English meaning, its genitive (possessive) singular, and its stem. In the third declension especially, this takes some brain power.
Ideally, we would have written these words all over our patio sliders because I love that. But, due to an upcoming life change, our sliders need to remain clean. These papers were attached to the wall with special adhesive allowing for their very easy and very clean removal. Not as fun, but it still works!

Over half of our monitoring network use telemetry, providing near real-time data to our clients, with over 300 of these sites hosted on secure client dedicated websites.
Our broad capabilities include:
We also provide ancillary services such as:
Surface water monitoring – Monitoring water is crucial for proper management of water resources. Our specialised Surface Water team has extensive experience in operating existing long-term water monitoring stations, and in establishing and then managing new stations. We continuously monitor water quantity and quality – including stream flows, water temperature, salinity, pH and turbidity – as well as collect water samples for quality testing. To make it as valuable as possible for you, data is accurately quality coded to ensure it is high-quality and fit for purpose. It is supplied to you in your requested format, both as quality assured data, and as operational data. Operational data is delivered in real time directly to you or via an interactive web portal, to allow you to make important operational decisions in real time.
Groundwater monitoring – Samples of groundwater from underground aquifers are collected via low-flow, passive, purging, 3-volume and in-situ sampling methodologies. These samples are then analysed to determine the quality of the groundwater, to monitor changes in that quality, or to detect contamination.
Telemetry & real time data – Using telemetry means our clients get data for less cost. Monitoring groundwater bores and water in remote areas at high frequencies is not cost-effective but using telemetry networks means you get a desktop view of your monitoring network from anywhere in the world. Our high-tech telemetry information management system was developed in-house with our clients' needs in mind. Data is collected on-site, received by a cloud-based server, and then transmitted to our in-house system, where data is analysed by our team of experts according to individual client requirements.
Bore camera investigations – Purpose-built cameras send vision via CCTV, and are used to view and measure bore screen depths, inspect for blockages, casing breaches and lost pumps.
Downhole bore rehabilitation – Restoring an existing bore means there is no need for costly re-drilling or locating another key monitoring location. First the condition of the bore is assessed, using CCTV to determine the extent and nature of the issue. That information forms the basis for advice from our expert team. We can then provide high-tech restoration services including airlifting, jetting, flushing, surging and bore casing re-lining.
Hydrology and data management – Our Data and Hydrology team solves clients' problems around quantity, quality and availability of water. This might involve anything from field investigation and performing stream discharge measurements, to analysis, quality assurance and storage of data. The team also produces stage (level) – discharge (flow) rating tables. These tables allow us to calculate flow data, and form the basis for the data management, interpretation, storage, analysis and reporting we do for clients, such as the work we do determining accurate flow figures for rivers and streams around Victoria. We can also give you advice on site installation to ensure the greatest possible accuracy in data collection, or calculate the uncertainty and accuracy of hydrological measurements.
Meter Verification Services – Our specialised measurement techniques also include expertise in calculating the accuracy of in situ testing of small farm irrigation meters to assist with network accuracy. As part of our work, and our involvement with the developing technology in industry we also work to develop more complex 'rating tables' such as the correction tables required for direct velocity measurement with instrumentation, known as Index Tables.
Landfill monitoring – Local councils and landfill operators must meet tightening regulations, and increased expectations around control and management of their landfill sites. To help these clients meet these regulations we offer a variety of monitoring services including groundwater and surface water monitoring.

Those that have known me forever may need to sit down.
I'm going to run 10k.
In my duel quest to live longer and help raise money for new play equipment for the village I thought this would be the perfect challenge.
I have managed to get through to week 7 of the couch25k programme with lots of moral support and encouragement from family, friends and work colleagues.
Myself and a couple of running buddies have registered for the 5k trick or treat at trentham gardens on the 31st October. this will be the first milestone.
Then at the end of Feb there will be a 10k community run in Colton raising money for the playground.
So it would be great if you would help support me by donating some dosh and giving me lots of encouragement.
I thought I'd get in early with the fundraising ... I'll be doing some updates along the way and I'm sure your money will be the carrot I will need on the hard days.
Thankyou x

Today the Princess would like to thank the universe for these unexpected artful moments.
#1 You mister, with the crazy green car that reminds me of a cool tyrannosaurus rex on wheels. You are both timelessly hip and dangerously quirky. You are my thin mint mobile and you made me smile, stop and snap a picture when I had places to be. You are delightfully conspicuous, and you know it. And I applaud your artful vehicle. Bravo mister. Bravo.
#2 To the person both in charge of creating and approving the super col utility box covering that elicited both a double take and an audible laugh from the Princess. How thoughtful to dress the naked exposed steel with a reflection of its view. Your dopplegangerism is creative and it too must be praised. You have indeed doubled my pleasure and made me take notice of that which may have gone unnoticed.
#3 Beezel. You three-legged foster cat, who seemingly would never stop moving. I must thank you for sitting still long enough for me to capture your photo. Your stunning and disproportionately massive ears, hearing but ignoring my plea to calm down. Your exceptional whiskers, secretly feeling out the seriousness of my requests to stop moving. With this photo, you will no doubt be adopted by someone who will not yell at you to cease your hyper-activity. A good fit for all. My tiara is off to you. Just don't eat it please. Seriously. Don't.

The 1970s were book-ended by two famous Carlton Grand Final victories over Collingwood, with a third equally famous over Richmond fitting snuggly in between.
The 1970 Grand Final is quite probably the greatest of them all and there's no doubting it was big – big crowd, big comeback, big mark, "Big Nick".
The Sun's Kevin Hogan, who'd covered the calamitous events of Round 19 when Bob Rose's men inflicted a 77-point butchery of Barassi's Blues, somewhat prophetically wrote: "it has been demonstrated in the past that what happens at Victoria Park in August isn't always a sure guide to what might happen on the MCG in September".
Good call, Kev.
Carlton's stunning come-from-behind victory in the 1970 Grand Final – when Alex Jesaulenko launched himself into football immortality and a mop-topped Ted Hopkins set the bar for every interchange player since – crowned Ron Barassi's seven seasons as coach of the mighty Blues.
There would of course be further coaching triumphs along the way for Ronald Dale, but for him the 1970 Grand Final stands alone.
Where did it rate for him? "Under pressure, I always go '70," came the reply. "It was spectacular, it was played before the biggest crowd ever seen for a game of football in Australia and one of the biggest crowds in the world, and it was just full of heroics by the players . . . and it was Collingwood too, so I'll stick to that."

The shift to electrified vehicles is gaining pace and SEAT starts its electric offensive with the introduction of the Mii electric. The Mii electric fuses design, an advanced powertrain, and new levels of connectivity with affordability. For more information see the IDTechEx report on Electric Vehicles 2020-2030.
SEAT's first production all-electric vehicle also lays the groundwork for future members to the family, with more EVs and PHEVs due to join the Mii electric in the near future, including the all-electric SEAT el-Born, plug-in hybrid versions of the Tarraco and Leon, and high-performance plug-in hybrid versions of CUPRA Formentor and CUPRA Leon.
"The market is changing, and electrification is expanding at an unprecedented rate. In Europe, the electric vehicle market grew by 46% in the first 4 months of the year, moving forward we expect electrified vehicles to play an important role within our range," said Luca de Meo, President of SEAT. "The Mii electric is the start of that journey, and at the same time brings to the market an affordable electric car."
The Mii electric will help prepare SEAT's expansive dealership network for the expanding electrified market and the challenges it will bring, making the transition for customers moving to electric vehicles seamless. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Mii electric offers great agility while driving in the city and while parking. The Mii electric is taking up the mantle from the combustion engine Mii when production of that vehicle ends in July 2019.
The Mii electric's motor, linked to a single speed transmission, provides its 61kW (83PS) of power and 212Nm of torque instantly, meaning the five-door car can reach 50km/h from a standstill in only 3.9 seconds - perfect for jumping in and out of traffic. And the car's 36.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack, provides up to 260km of range from a single charge based on the WLTP test cycle.
The all-electric city car is the first model to include SEAT CONNECT, giving remote access and management of the vehicle. Customers can review driving data, parking position, the vehicle's status, including doors and lights, and the ability to control air-conditioning remotely from their smartphone app.
When the Mii electric enters its key markets - Germany, Netherlands, Norway, France, Spain, Austria, UK, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Sweden - it will be one of the most affordable electric vehicles. Costing the same as an equivalent combustion engine vehicle in the segment, but with significantly lower total cost of ownership - battery electric vehicles require less. In order to make customer's lives easier, SEAT will also offer charging options such as the installation of a SEAT Wallbox.
The Mii electric is the latest part of SEAT's electric story. In 1992 SEAT produced an all-electric Toledo to accompany athletes on the route of the marathon event during the Barcelona summer Olympic games. The vehicle boasted a range of 64km from its 500kg battery pack which could be recharged using a 2kW AC power supply.
More recently SEAT introduced the e-Mii prototype carsharing pilot project. A fleet of some 5 all-electric Mii prototypes are used on the roads of Barcelona, allowing more than 1,000 employees at SEAT Metropolis:Lab Barcelona and the Pier 01 Barcelona Tech City, to hop in and out of vehicles as and when they need.
The project has fed into the Mii electric vehicle and given valuable insight into how electric vehicles work on public roads.
SEAT Mii electric production will begin in Bratislava (Slovakia) in Q4 2019, with a market introduction starting from the very end of the year. Pre-sales of the SEAT Mii electric for the customers will start in September.

Horizon View Connection Server authenticates users through Windows Active Directory and directs the request to the appropriate virtual machine, physical or blade PC, or Windows Terminal Services server. You can use Microsoft Terminal Servers to provide Terminal Services sessions as desktops to View clients.
Horizon View manages Terminal Services sessions in the same way that it manages other View desktops and provides load balancing for each pool by directing connection requests to the terminal server that has the least number of active sessions.
As of Horizon View 5.2 only 2008 Windows Server Terminal Services is supported. The recipe below will allow administrator to install Horizon View agent on Windows 2012 RDS and enable connectivity to 2012 RDS deployments.
Please be mindful this is TOTALLY UNSUPPORTED BY VMWARE.
You will have to make few changes to the standard Horizon View Agent 64-bit before you install it on your Windows 2012 server. Horizon View Agent uses Microsoft Installer to run a series of validations to understand what components should or should not be installed and what conditions should follow. First we need to open and hack the View Agent.
You will need to download Orca. Orca MSI Editor allows you to edit the properties of any MSI file. With this tool, you can change the title and text within the installer and look at how and where the files are delivered. Once installed you can right-click any MSI and select Open with Orca. This tool used to be a part of Microsoft Developer Tools but is now retired and no longer supported.
Download Orca from here.
The steps outlined below are not supported by VMware. I recommend testing in development environment. If you decide to test or implement you are doing it on your own risk.
Install View Agent and Hack it
- On a Windows 2K8 R2 Server with latest VMware Tools installed execute the installation VMware View 5.1 Agent package (VMware-viewagent-x86_64-5.1.2-928164). Do not click Install or Next.
- Go to %temp% folder, typing %temp% at the Run prompt.
- Find the folder containing the unpacked installation files and copy them to a temporary folder on your desktop.
- Using the Orca utility open 'VMware View Agent64.msi' file existing in the temp folder.
- Navigate to 'Condition' table.
- Under 'Tables' find and open 'LaunchCondition and delete first four lines and click save.
- Only 'Not Version9X' and 'Privileged' conditions should remain.
- Close editor
- Install View Agent from the '1-copy' folder
- Register the agent with View Connection Server (view.domain.local)
- Reboot VM
Fake Out – Make the VM believe that it is part of an LDAP server
- Log in to Horizon View Server as: domain\administrator
- Connect to one of your Horizon View connection servers via RDP and execute the ADSI Edit tool or adsiedit.msc
- Use the connection settings below to connect to the internal ADLDS (DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int). Click OK.
- Navigate to Servers OU and select and open the latest CN added to the list. At this point you should be able to see a property 'Display Name' containing the name of the server. If this is not the server you are adding you will need to find the correct CN.If you have problems finding your VM because your ADAM has too many entries, read VMware View Pool Membership Management using PowerCLI. The PowerShell object View-Get-Objects will help you to retrieve elements from the ADAM database.
- Because VMware View is not ready to understand Windows 8 kernel version the pae-OSVersion property is not populated during the View Agent registration process.Navigate to the 'pae-OSVersion' property and change it to '4'. Click OK.
- Now go to View Manager and log in
- If done correctly, RDSx-x will appear and you can now make a pool out of it.
- Pools -> Terminal Services Pool
- Select RDS_x-x etc.
I would like to acknowledge the help from my VMware colleague Fred Schimscheimer to write up this post. Thanks!

Hey everyone! We've been busy working on this year's Christmas decor around the farm. We're excited about some new things for 2016. In the meantime, let's take a mini tour of the house decor from 2015. Hope you will enjoy it and who knows? Maybe you will have a little inspiration!
Let's start through the front door! As you enter the front door, and step into the foyer, the first thing you see is the living room tree. I love having the tree here. It looks pretty through the leaded glass doors at night! As you pass down the street, it looks like it is sparkling! You can also see the tree from the dining room and study. It's nice to see it while we share our Christmas Eve dinner.
This tree is decorated with an assortment of ornaments. I used ornaments in different shades of pink, greens, blues and golds. Most of them I have had for years. The walls in this room are pale gold, and the Aubusson needlepoint rugs are off white with floral bouquets in all of these colors. The ceiling of the foyer has a handpainted scene with cherubs and florals.
None of my trees actually have a theme. I've just enjoyed collecting ornaments that are interesting and that I love, and also that go with the color scheme of the room. Since this tree is in the formal part of the home, it is decorated in an elegant, almost Victorian style. I have vintage Victorian furniture in the living room.
To the left of the foyer is the study, let's visit this room. Actually this room is a study, library and guest bedroom. This room is also done in pinks and greens. This little tabletop tree gives this room a cozy, and welcoming glow. I have it decorated in pretty pink vintage ornaments. In Victorian times, you would often see these tabletop trees in decor.
On this ladies writing desk, I have a vintage pink typewriter. I enjoy decorating around it for the different seasons. This was taken on a day that I made our family recipe of Brownstone Front Cake.
To the right of the foyer is the dining room. This room is what I call Old World style. I fell in love with these toile parsons's chairs done in this Bosporus fabric. This is the tablescape that I used during Christmas and during our annual Christmas Eve dinner. The plates are from Johnson Brothers and called Old Britain Castles. I use them every year. This nativity set is I always used as a centerpiece.
The tree in this room is actually one normally used on the front porch or patio. I decorated it in colors that I pulled from the chairs and needlepoint rug. There are peacocks and florals in the rug in beautiful jewel tones of teal, turquoise, reds, greens and golds.
The next room you will see is the sitting area of the master bedroom. This room is simply decorated with two white slipcovered club chairs, ottoman, and white shag area rug. As you can see, there are also touches of pink.
Here, I have another pink tabletop tree. The mantel is covered with a white snow blanket and lights hidden underneath for a winter scene. Bottle brush trees, a little glittered coach with horse and glittered cottage gives the mantel a dreamy, storybook look.
My bed is covered with a white matelasse bedspread and shams. I found the pink and white toile, european pillow shams, years ago and just had to have them! I think they look so elegant. To complete the look, I have these beautiful toile stockings displayed in this room.
This is a picture of my farmhouse apron sink decorated in simple greens and gingham ribbon. I think this sink is one of the focal points in my kitchen.
Another focal point in my kitchen is my Country Charm Stove, one of my favorite pieces in my home. It is cast iron with a porcelain top. It is a reproduction of an old wood cook stove, electrified. This little lady has served our family well for many years.
Our final room on the tour today is the family room. This is where the family gathers. As you can see this is a bright and cheerful space. Yellow! The tree in this room is decorated in an assortment of ornaments that coordinate with the colors from these two comfy chairs and the needlepoint rug. This is a room where we can all relax and hang out.
The mantel in this room is decorated with a vintage, glittered, putz village that we have had in the family since I was a little girl. It is just magical! My mother used to place it underneath the Christmas tree. I would sit and stare at it for hours, letting my imagination travel to Christmases long ago.
I hope you enjoyed our little Christmas tour 2015!. We're excited for Christmas 2016! We have done some new things this year and I can't wait to share! Hope you will check back to see!
Have a very Blessed and Merry Christmas!

Artist: Nick Nola
Genre: RnB /African Urban / Fusion
Age: 26
At the core of all his music you will recognize that Nick Nola is an RnB artist though he also cleverly teases his limits with other genres… Hip Hop, Dancehall and Zouk. It is no wonder that his fans crowned him Uganda's King of RnB Fusion. And because of a string of successful collaborations with other musicians of various genres, in songs such as Mother Africa, Dusk til Dawn, Brand New Day, Nkoye Okulinda, Sembera and I Love the Way, some in the media in Uganda have given him the title of King of Collabos.
After several musical achievements in his youth, Nick Nola's professional career began in his teens and shortly before the release of the award winning Mother Africa in which he shared the hook with Qute Kaye as part of the original Hip Hop Canvas 2005 which was made of a number of then soon-to-be Ugandan Music household names, such as GNL. He sang on numerous hooks on Hip Hop songs over the years while also releasing successful solos such as Habiba, Nkusiimye and Aliwa. It is this musical diversity than won him a contract to be managed and sponsored by Uganda Entertainment and News media house UGPulse at the end of 2009 when they recognized a talent that needed support.
Since joining UGPulse management Nick Nola has been working on his debut album which is currently scheduled for release by end of 2011. The Nick Nola Honey Moon album is an international project with various producers from Swangz Ave, GoodEnuf, Producer Allan, Producer Washington, Henry Kiwuwa, and French producer Young Pulse who in addition to producing some of the tracks, is also responsible for putting on any final touch ups to all the mixes as he works on the album from studios in Washington, DC and Paris.
From the album Nick Nola has released I Love the Way and Marianna which are both doing well, most notably in Uganda, and in London within the African Diaspora communities and Nick's music has been played on the BBC throughout 2011.

S.F. man rolls with Latin jams: 'A lot of people like it'
If you have the sudden urge to start dancing the salsa, mambo or merengue while walking down Market Street in downtown San Francisco, chances are you have Leonardo Perez Gonzalez to thank (or blame).
Nicknamed "Anaconda," Gonzalez, 63, can be found cruising the sidewalks from his motorized wheelchair, navigating through the crowds while playing Latin music at full blast from a large speaker nestled on the floorboard between his feet.
"When I got the speaker, I play some music and a lot of people like it," said Gonzalez. "They're dancing with me."
He doesn't exaggerate. As people gathered in small crowds waiting for the crosswalk light to change on a recent Thursday afternoon, a few pedestrians started faintly shaking their hips, almost subconsciously. Others coyly snapped photos of Gonzalez, who shimmied to the music from his perch.
One woman started salsa dancing as if shadow steps were laid out in front of her. A friend pulled her back on their course after a few minutes.
Originally from Cuba, Gonzalez moved to the United States in the 1980s when then President Jimmy Carter allowed Cuban refugees into the country.
"Castro said, whatever, go. Sent everybody here," said Gonzalez. "I miss Cuba a lot. My whole family die in Cuba. I'm the only one that's still alive."
He loves San Francisco and says it's the best place to live in the United States, despite his troubles.
"Every day I got a problem. I get a lot of pain. I take the Oxycodone. Pain in butt, feet, eyes," he said. "And I got shot right here too. Shot near my knee. Somebody tried to rob me and I didn't give him no money and they shot."
Music is an outlet for Gonzalez, a way for him to cope with the pain in his life.
"I love music. It's important because it made me get out of problems. Get out of drugs. The music make your mind clean. Makes your mind stay out of trouble."
And so he travels in a bubble of music, one that surrounds his wheelchair as he navigates the downtown streets, smoking cigarettes and marijuana.
He dances as he drives, shaking his shoulders and pursing his lips. He sometimes looks like a bird shaking rain off it's feathers.
He acknowledged that not everyone appreciates his Latin jams at full volume. But he thinks the pleasure it brings others outweighs the few who say something to him.
"Some people they no likey, I know, but that's not too many," he said. "I don't listen to what they say. I keep it going."
The only thing he said he needs now is a bigger wheelchair. The speaker doesn't leave him with much of a footrest.
