Thank you for the information in your post. I feel like I did those things but apparently I missed the boat on something. I'm brand new at VMWare. I did google. For example the other response said that VMDK files are Virtual Machine Files. I knew that from googling and searching forums.
This may not even be the right forum and for that I apologize but I didn't see one that just had VCenter. For all I know this is the wrong community even.
I'm not trying to be a smart a@@ or anything, I did appreciate reading the rules and will keep them in mind.
Have a nice day.

Thank you. I did know that from searching and actually RTFM as suggested in the rules for posting. So I was not clear and I will try again.
Each VM has its own VMDK containing the name of the virtual machine. The host itself has a number of VMDK files that have only numbers in the name and the amout of vmdk files on the host does not correspond to the number of virtual machines. I am curious about what those are. I didn't see anything that explained those.If this is the wrong community or forum for this please let me know. I do not intend to be a pest.
5. Re: What are the vmdk files on the host?a.p. Jul 19, 2019 9:41 AM (in response to LuanneSoon)
Can you please provide an example of the files that you see? This way it might be easier to explain what they are for.
A virtual disk on an ESXi host consists of two .vmdk files, a small descriptor/header file (a text file that only contains metadata), and the data file which contains user data. If a VM has active snapshots, each of these snapshots also consists of two .vmdk files. Sample: A VM with a single virtual disk, and two snapshot has six .vmdk files.
Sample names:
Primary virtual disk: <vmname>.vmdk + <vmname>-flat.vmdk
Additional virtual disks: <vmname>_#.vmdk + <vmname>_#-flat.vmdk
Snapshots: <vmname>-00000x.vmdk + <vmname>-00000x-delta.vmdk (or <vmname>-00000x-sesparse.vmdk for newer ESXi versions)

COLDPLAY are finding an unlikely place for a whole new legion of fans – on the dancefloor!
The band have officially approved a dance version of 'Don't Panic' by house outfit Logo, featuring vocals by Dawn Joseph. Championed by DJ Judge Jules, it looks set to chart when released later this month.
There have already been numerous bootleg dance remixes of the band's hit singles 'Trouble' and 'Yellow', but this is the first time a Coldplay track has been licenced to anyone else. The band have turned down at least 10 other requests from dance outfits to use their music.

The knower as servant (response to Paul Lample)
Posted by Sen on October 20, 2008
I've been reading Paul Lample's "Learning and the Evolution of the Bahá'í Community." From page 15, he presents various possible roles for the "learned Bahai" in the Bahai community, saying among other things that learned Baha'i is not an "artist", and concluding "Perhaps the learned Baha'i is more like the 'scout' who helps to guide an expedition on a journey into unexplored territory." I found it striking that he did not mention the possibility that the learned Bahai could be a servant, someone who uses knowledge to minister to the faithful.
The starting point seems to me to be
""Are they equal, those who know, and those who do not know?…" (Abdu'l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, citing Quran 39:12).
We must start here because it is the inequality between those who know and those who do not that creates the issue in the first place. This is not a social inequality, it is inherent in knowing something that is valuable, or not knowing it. But we can also see that the person with a spare dollar is not equal with the person who has no dollar to spare; that the person with a wonderful singing voice is not the equal of the croaker. It's the difference between having a potential, and not having that potential.
That leads us immediately to the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14, the one that starts:
"For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another, one…"
and ends
".. cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness."
We certainly don't want to go there! So the non-use of knowledge is not an option. Whatever has a use, cannot be left to lie fallow. And it seems to me that the proper use of the knowledge, the dollar or the talent we have is to help our fellows, most especially those in most need of whatever it is we have to offer.
If the 'talent' that we can offer our fellows is some knowledge specific to a religious community, one use for it will be to minister to the faithful – and especially those in the most need. That may mean simply teaching something to those who do not know:
"First drink thou therefrom, and proffer it then to such as turn towards it amongst the peoples of all faiths." (The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 56)
However when I think of the needy, whom knowledge can help, it is not the merely ignorant, but rather the conflicted, that I have in mind. There is no end to learning, and the process of learning is not a "problem" that needs to be ministered to. Ignorance is our normal state, just as much as learning is a normal activity. But intellectual conflicts, doubts, a feeling of internal contradiction about our own beliefs and commitment — this is a problem, and painful. This is where the person with specific religious knowledge may be able to help. When I find someone who does not know something I do know, I do not necessarily feel I ought to share with them. Each learning has its own trajectory. But when I meet a soul who is distressed by internal conflict, and I think that I have some piece of knowledge, some redefinition or logical connection, which could relieve that distress, I do feel an unconditional imperative to help.
Very often, intellectual conflicts come because what our innate feeling for the good tells us is not in line with what we think "religious" teachings are, or what "being religious" means in practice.
For instance, many believers walk around with a practical daily world view which recognises that religion is not everything, while feeling that as believers, religion ought to be their ruling line (and passion) in every aspect of life. They know for instance that church and state have to be separated, that religion and scientific knowledge are two different things, that one cannot run a company on the basis of giving all to the needy — but their religious world-view says that ideally religion should be everything to them and, ideally, one religious ethic should govern all spheres of life. This is a picture of religiosity derived from the age of ideologies, from a monist model of society, and it is no way to build a humane society or to live in a complex organic society. Such people are conflicted: what they really do believe and act, what stands them in good stead in actually living in a complex and religiously pluralist world, is not the same as what they think they ought to believe and feel. And they know in their hearts that what they think religion urges them to realise in the world, would in fact never work in the world.
The problem here is not with religion as such, but with a religious world-view that was formed in another age, and no longer answers. There is a need for a postmodern religious world-view, that corresponds to the postmodern society we live in, and I do think that the learned-as-artist has a role to play in this, despite Lample's critique. Indeed I suggest that nothing can be contributed to the world except through creativity:
"Through the mere revelation of the word "Fashioner," issuing forth from His lips and proclaiming His attribute to mankind, such power is released as can generate, through successive ages, all the manifold arts which the hands of man can produce." (Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 141)
"Beware, O My loved ones, lest ye despise the merits of My learned servants whom God hath graciously chosen to be the exponents of His Name 'the Fashioner' amidst mankind." (Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 150)
It goes without saying that God creates 'ex nihilo,' while we create from what God has given us. In the case of theology, we create from the examples of the Manifestations, from scriptural resources, and from questions. Creativity is not an optional characteristic of scholarship, it is inherent. The choice is between being conscious of it, and distinguishing it from the materials we were given, or being unaware of it and blithely supposing that what we 'find' in the Writings is simply their intended meaning — as if we could stand in the shoes of that Author !
I think that the role of the servant is a better model for the learned Bahai than that of a scout, because the scout explores where he wants to go, while the servant helps people where they are.
In the first place, if we are talking about people with religious knowledge who write or speak about it (theologians), the theologies that start with where people are, and where they are hurting, are vastly more readable than those that report back on the territories that the scout found interesting. Scouting is a hobby for the private sphere: it is not the kind of service that a theologian offers to his or her community. Lively and effective theology is always pastoral.
In the second place, if we are not clear that our scouting is a hobby, and the real work is serving the community where it finds itself, we set up a trap of pride or frustration for ourselves, because we imagine we have some right to set the agenda. As servants, it is the questions and needs of those we serve that set our agenda.
Thirdly, the idea of the scholar as a scout going out to unexplored territories implies that the community already knows all it needs to know about the territory it now occupies. If only …
If we are first clear that the function of religious knowledge (theology) and of the theologian is to minister to the faithful, where they are and with whatever needs they have, then there is no need to make a priori rules about what this involves. It will involve some degree of creativity, and of reason, and of knowledge, and certainly of compassion. It may involve simple teaching or pastoral activity: assisting development rather than responding to those in distress. It must always mean responding to distress. It may involve archaeological activity, in the form of text-critical and philological work that re-examines those areas in which the Text seems to be teaching one thing, while the Spirit is telling us another. It may involve being the impartial, or critical, observer and reporter, for self-deception is the inevitable accompaniment of a misfit between what we think we ought to think and what we know is right. The one who cries that the king "is in the altogether, the altogether," is also serving the community.

Hi Sen
One agreements, one disagreement. First the disagreement:
I think you have missunderstood Paul Lample's similie of the learned being like a scout. When he says scout I imagine a scout who is scouting for an army. That scout does not go where he wants to go. The scout has not a hobby but a job. I suggest that is a better reading of Mr Lample's intended meaning.
Agreement: I tend to agree that we do not need to lay down prescriptions as to what the learned Bahai should/should-not be. I find I am hard put to say in a few words why, but I ask – Are any of these prescriptions very convincing? It strikes me that they are either formalistic, almost empty, truisms: seek the truth, seek wisdom or understanding; or less empty but as GENERAL or UNIVERSAL advice, false. So Mr Lample says a learned Bahai is not an anthropologist of the Bahai community, archiologist or 'impatial observer'. But sometimes each of these 'roles' makes perfect sense, leads to something of worth. Surely there are moments in some valid research/thinking by some learned Bahais in which archiology, anthropology or (especially) impartial observation are just the thing. Just as surely, they can at moments be a mistake. Learning is a comples business and can be carried out in many different ways.
Lastly, I was much struck by your two quotations where Bahaullah refers to 'the Fashioner' in relation to the arts and the learned. It certainly suggests that He is saying that scholarship and science has an essential creative aspect to it. The first quotation might seem to be about the plastic and literary arts only, but the second seems to be inconsistent with that notion – 'the Fashioner' is just as applicable to science, it seems. I mean to look further into 'the Fashioner' in the writings.

Dear Sen,
I have a question , do you accept the possibility that you are not capable of understanding everything ?
That you are not all-knowing, all-understanding?
If your answer is yes couldn't it be that there could be truths presented to you that you do not understand or recognise as truth, since you are not all-knowing by your own answer.Since truth can be presented to you without you recognising this truth cognitively, how do you decide to learn new truth ?Or better who decides what is true about your opinions and what is true of other opinions ?
Maybe you want to share some of your thoughts..
I do like your weblog/site bye the way 🙂
Greetings John
August 22, 2010 at 13:26
Dear Sen ,
Thank you for your answer it will take some time for me to digest, i would like to respond on it later
on because it has given me new insights on how to deal with this.At the same time there are words wich i need to look up like "hermeneutics" :).. English is not my native tongue so in orde to read and understand english i need some more time. I also find that i need to digest things with my heart apart from my head,but thank you for your quick response.One quick question though : who translated Some Answered Questions into english ? Or were the original answers in english ? i think not because how would you otherwise have been able to see an original text which i derive from your remark about the mistranslation.
Greetings John

The Science Behind Microwave War
The media, whose duty it is to protect citizens in a democracy, has failed miserably: it is silent on the Pentagon's experimentation with the bioeffects of electromagnetic attack. Newspapers, TV and radio stations ignore letters and emails that Americans send to them in which they report harassment in detail, even supplying videos taken in high def with stereo sound, doctors' reports, and corroborating testimony from witnesses. Senators and House reps respond with boilerplate statements thanking them and reminding them that their opinions count. The subject of Nazi military experiments that the Pentagon is doing in New York City is taboo. And yet people gather on the street, in department stores, at the library, in crowded subway cars, and they discuss these things. The Pentagon cannot keep its development of the police state a secret forever. People already know. And the word is spreading fast.
The military denies that it is developing electromagnetic weapons precisely because they are silent and imperceptible; because they cause long-term neurological damage, intimidate and harass, entrain the brain, alter perception, induce mood change, wake people up or put them to sleep, animate or calm them down; because they maim, kill or cause the migration of mass populations via weather modification, artificially induced earthquakes of high magnitude, and volcanic eruptions.
This study will address the gamut of diverse tools in the Pentagon's arsenal: high power microwave (HPM); electromagnetic pulse (EMP); extra low frequency (ELF); through-the-wall imaging (TWI); smart skin for airplanes that permit the entire hull of an aircraft to act as an antenna, receive and transmit radio waves, image through buildings and vehicles with precision, send a shock to the brain and heart of a target on the other side of a barrier, set an apartment building on fire, explode a subterranean steam pipe, skew the electronics in an aircraft to get rid of someone for political purposes, or set a country on fire in the middle of the night by using laser to heat up brush. All of these things have occurred.

text: Third EyeThe third eye is associated with Siva and with Chakra 6. As a result Shiva is called Tri-Metra [Tri-Netra], Tri-Ambaka, Tri-Aksha and Tri-Nayana. The two normal eyes of Siva represent the sun and the moon. The third, in the centre of the forehead, symbolises fire. The eyes together represent the three sources of light that illumine the earth, space and the sky. Through his three eyes Siva can see past, present and future, an accomplishment which, as Guhai Namasivaya points out elsewhere, enables him to transcend time. The central eye is the eye of higher perception. Normally it is directed inwards, but when it is turned outwards, it burns all that appears before it. Cited from Website: Arunachala Saints.

Watching the sun generously pour its gold all over the city and witnessing the skies magically transform ever so naturally into absolute pitch black; ornamented by zillions of glittering city lights from my favorite spot in town, Marini's on 57 . . . I wouldn't want it any other way. Everything played out the way i dreamt it to be, and nothing could be more beautiful than that, could it? To see a dream building up into a castle in front of your eyes exactly the way you wished for, made more than perfect with close friends, great cocktails, gorgeous view, all wrapped up into an intimate, glamorous night to remember.

Pancreatic cancer is a killer – and one that is very hard to detect. One of the reasons its survival rate is so poor that it has few symptoms in the early stages.
Partly spurred by the death of his uncle, 16-year-old scientist and researcher Jack Andraka vowed to find a quick and cheap way to test for signs of the disease.
Andraka's research – incuding writing to 200 science professors – led to him developing a dipstick diagnostic test which searches for a biomarker for pancreatic cancer. It can also be used to test for lung and ovarian cancer.
He tells BBC Future about his quest.

After spending two days at the bottom of a filthy garbage can where they were abandoned, the "Sesame Street kittens" are now living it up in a foster home.
The five fuzzy siblings were discovered by a sanitation worker and brought to TinyKittens, a rescue in Fort Langley, British Columbia. They were found "soaked in their own filth, crawling with fleas, terrified, cold and hungry," the rescue posted.
Dubbed the "Sesame Street kittens" by their rescuers, the furbabies have received lots of love in their foster home and are getting ready to go to their forever families. TinyKittens posted this video of the kittens purring away on their foster mom's lap.
The rescue also hosts a live feed of the kittens playing and snuggling and doing other incredibly adorable activities. You can catch the whole gang there until they go to the families who've already adopted them.
With kitten season just beginning, there are about to be lots more tiny fuzzballs just like these five. This story is a great example of the importance of foster homes in giving kittens a safe, healthy start before they find their forever families.
If you're considering bringing some intense cuteness into your life and fostering kittens, contact your local humane society to find out how to sign up.

'Music to first escape life then reconnect' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Wayne Clark
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on May 28, 2014
My guest this week says he has to treat music with kid gloves. If he's sitting at a dinner party and music is playing, he's likely to get so distracted that he zones out of the real room. This is a familiar scenario to me too.

Nearly following suit from the night before the judges awarded second to Luka Milacic – Perusina & Jenaly Saraza-Pacheco. On the night before we felt that their routine looked a little discombobulated with some obvious mishaps. That night most have been a great rehearsal for them because on this night they hit the perfect mark without missing a beat or a step and we must confess that we would not have been surprised had they called them up for first place. It is refreshing to see something out of the box and that is what Luka & Jenaly did this night, very interesting and well executed, congratulations to them. We must point out that they managed to take 2 first place marks out of 11 judges from the winning couple.
This Junior event had also three more couples and they are for sure worth the mention. Thomas Zinger & Sarah Stolarsky who took third in every dance, Pavel Ivanov & Katerina Novotarka who placed fourth in every dance and Alisher Kulzhabayen & Lauren Shligold who were fifth.
Our congratulations to Brigit Mayer, John Karakas, Ann Harding and Lisa McLaggan for putting on such a classy event here in Toronto at the best time of the year and in such a beautiful place for Canadians and the world to enjoy.
50 Shades of Grey!
Last night the Can-Am Dancesport Gala began with a bang, an excellent Show Dance professional competition where all couples were of terrific quality.
The fun does not end here, a clear fourth overall in this excellent Show Dance competition went to Patrick Derry & Anastasia Trutneva, who did a solid Smooth showdance and fifth was awarded to Julius Solano & Laurent Stephenson.
Fourth overall in this terrific amateur event went to Alex Maslanka & Christine Budniak with these marks 4,4,4,4,4. This is a couple that has everything in place including lots of talent but are still in the box. All we can say here about Alex & Christine, is you must get out of the box and explore the possibilities, take example from the "50 shades of grey" and how they turn this into a story and a routine. In fifth position in all dances were Michael Rubezin & Elise Magliocchetti, we must say that although they seemed to do the work, it is still green in a lot of the basic movement and understanding. Compared to the other couples they are still struggling a little.
Taking second in all dances in this Professional Ballroom Championship were Yvan Piwovarov & Irina Khanova, they perhaps moved around the floor with the most comfort for all even for the judges who awarded them the majority of seconds in all dances. From our perspective from here down it really depended upon when you were watching the couple. The judges produced this result: Evgueni Chaoulski & Sarah Schilling took all thirds, Dmytro Startsev & Natalia Laskowiecka placed fourth with these marks 4,4,4,4,5, Han Ly & Crystal Li were fifth 5,5,5,5,4, and Mathieu Casavant & Melanie Martin were sixth in all.
Back on the Lake!
We are once again back to the CanAm Dancesport Gala and Dancesport Championships.
This year we are back on beautiful Lake Ontario and at the Westin Harbor Castle, with incredible views and great accommodations. With the exception of the ballroom you can be anywhere in the hotel and whether it's a city view or a lake view or a partial view, you are guaranteed to see a picturesque sight out of every window.

Thus, based on the weight of history and tradition, Ordizia market has become a benchmark for the region's agricultural products: native fruits and vegetables, Idiazábal cheese and lamb, among other products.See more
June is one of the most active months in Tolosa, coinciding with the celebration of the patron saint festivities of San Juan. But the festive atmosphere will begin from the first day of the month, with the Sea Bream and Cider Festival.
It is a festival that combines these two genres that are apparently difficult to combine. And we say apparently because, although it isn´t very common, it is possible to pair fish and cider.
A few weeks after hosting the HARAGI festival and after the opening dinner which will take place in the Txinparta society on Friday 31 May, the Tinglado Marketplace will once again become a great dining room on 1 and 2 June.
Grill chefs from the Xixario and Katxiña grill houses will grill 300 Orio-style sea breams, and serve them along with anchovies, asparagus, tomato and bonito salad, and the strange dessert, Bixigoxom which is shaped like the star product of the festival.
The Tinglado Marketplace will also be the cathedral of cider over these two days. The Cider Txoko area will be installed there, a space where it will be possible to sample tapas along with all the ciders from the province of Tolosaldea– Aburuza, Begiristain, Eguzkitza, Isastegi, Goikoetxea, Sarasola, Zabala and Zalbide–, as well as that of Irigoien-Herrero.
This space will be open to the public from 11:30 to 14:30 and from 19:00 to 21:30 on Saturday, and during the morning on Sunday.
However, that isn´t everything relating to cider. Over the weekend there will be special guided visits through the old cider houses located in the old quarter of Tolosa. A route to discover the cider making tradition of the town, where there were once 40 cider houses!
Atodo, Begiristain, Otegi, Ibiaga, Aranbururena, Usandizagarena, Txaparro… These are some of the names of these cider houses. Indeed, Txaparro is the only one that remains intact, despite being closed since 1971. Located in a back patio on Calle Letxuga, it is one of the treasures of the town´s recent history. A txoko (space for eating and drinking) with history and stories.
It was customary to meet during the break in the middle of the working day to have lunch and drink cider from its kupelas (barrels). Back then, there was no txotx (cider season), and each drink was chalked up on a barrel. Some people would even play a round of toka (game that involves throwing pebbles at a target) in order to decide who had to pay for the round.
The guided visit will explore all the locations of some of those cider houses and reveal all the almost unknown stories. On Saturday, the visit will be carried out in Spanish and French, while on Sunday it will be in Basque and English. The ticket for the visit, priced at 5 Euros, includes a cider and aged sardine omelette tasting in the Orbela bar, the former location of the Begiristain cider house.
Tickets for all the lunches and dinners can be booked at the Tolosaldea Tour tourism office, by calling 943 697 413 or by writing an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. On 1 June there will be two sessions, at 14:00 and at 21:00, while on Sunday there will only be one sitting.

Hey sweet peas! 🙂 Only four days out from Christmas, I can't believe it! 😀
Today I wanted to talk about some cool gift ideas, although I imagine that you've already probably purchased gifts haha! 🙂
- For winter something warm like a nice scarf, jersey/sweater, warm hat, or socks is much much appreciated! I got socks as part of the lead up in advent and I must say I am very grateful for them! 🙂
- Chocolate! Don't know if its just that my host family are really generous or if its all of Germany, but I have received so so so much chocolate! I literally had to upgrade the bag that I was storing it all in haha! 😀 And they have great chocolate here too!
- Books. Can be tricky to find (trust me!), but my mum bought me a book series to read while I'm over here that she had already read and loved (and now I love!), and I bought my brother a book too for Christmas! 🙂 I think its good if you know the person will like it, so don't be afraid to consult their opinion! 🙂 Alternatively buy a book voucher so they can choose it themselves.
- Biscuits/cookies. I absolutely love German biscuits, that are absolutely amazing! Last Friday night we stayed up to like 10pm baking Christmas cookies, and they were absolutely delicious! 🙂
I hope you enjoyed my list, and maybe got a few ideas for this or next Christmas! 🙂 I would love to hear your suggestions for gifts! 🙂
Until next time,

Part 1 - The flip flop on national unity
On 6 May 2013 after GE13, Najib called for national reconciliation (here). Anwar did not bother. He went on protesting the election and slam Najib of all sorts.
But of course, Anwar went to Parliament to take oath as MP of Permatang Pauh and Opposition Leader.
Just days ago, this "statesman" (according to Nik Nazmi) said "Let's work towards a national consensus". Read it here
What the .....@!#?
Part 2 - religion
You may or may not agree with PM's 10 point solution. But I was reliably informed that the 10 point solution was thoroughly discussed with Attorney General, Home Ministry. It was a very good solution especially for those in Sabah and Sarawak.
The issue on Bible in BM before GE13 was in Sabah and Sarawak. The Federal Government acknowledged the fact that our brothers and sisters in Sabah and Sarawak use BM as their lingua franca. I can confirm this. I spoke to a Chinese lady in BM to order a bowl of pork noodles in Sarawak. I ordered coffee from Kadazan people in Sabah using BM. No joke. The people there are more patriotic than Malaysian Chinese in Peninsular, if you ask me, language wise.
The 10-point solution
1. Bibles in all languages can be imported into the country, including Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia.
2. These Bibles can also be printed locally in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. This is a new development which should be welcomed by the Christian groups.
3. Bibles in indigenous languages of Sabah and Sarawak such as Iban, Kadazan-Dusun and Lun Bawang can also be printed locally and imported.
4. For Sabah and Sarawak, in recognition of the large Christian community in these states, there are no conditions attached to the importation and local printing of the Bible in all languages, including Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia and indigenous languages. There is no requirement for any stamp or serial number.
5. Taking into account the interest of the larger Muslim community, for Peninsular Malaysia, Bibles in Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia, imported or printed, must have the words "Christian Publication" and the cross sign printed on the front covers.
6. In the spirit of 1Malaysia and recognising that many people travel between Sabah and Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, there should be no prohibitions and restrictions for people who bring along their Bible and Christian materials on such travels.
7. A directive on the Bible has been issued by the Ketua Setiausaha (KSU) of the Home Ministry to ensure proper implementation of this Cabinet decision. Failure to comply will subject the officers to disciplinary action under the General Orders. A comprehensive briefing by top officials, including the Attorney-General (AG), will be given to all relevant civil servants to ensure good understanding and proper implementation of the directive.
8. For the impounded Bibles in Kuching, Gideon, the importer can collect all the 30,000 Bibles free of charge. We undertake to ensure the parties involved are reimbursed. The same offer remains available for the importer of the 5,100 Bibles in Port Klang, which have already been collected by the Bible Society Malaysia (BSM) last week.
9. Beyond the Bible issue, the Government wishes to reiterate its commitment to work with the Christian groups and all the different religious groups in order to address inter-religious issues and work towards the fulfilment of all religious aspirations in accordance with the Constitution, taking into account the other relevant laws of the country. In order to bring urgency to this work, the Prime Minister will meet the representatives of the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) soon to discuss the way forward.
10. The Christian ministers in the Cabinet will meet on a regular basis with representatives of the various Christian groups in order to discuss their issues and work with the relevant ministries and the PM in order to resolve them.
Then, all three of them seemed to have lost their voice ever since Anwar said here "Three DAP assemblymen were premature in calling for changes to the Selangor enactment at the centre of the worsening "Allah" row in the state".
Just two days ago, Najib said that the use of the word 'Allah' is clearly spelt in the 10 point solution agreed on by the Federal Government in 2011. This was also endorsed by the Supreme Council of UMNO. Yes, UMNO.
PM has reiterated his stand in the 10 point solution. This is enforced in all Federal territories and in States where matters as such are governed by Federal laws.
In my opinion, the recent seizure of Bibles is an isolated case in Selangor. If you read THIS article, Bible Society Malaysia Chairman said "Organisations like the Bible Society of Malaysia are caught in the middle when state governments do not recognise or endorse federal agreements. We hope that the Selangor state government will consider endorsing the 10-point solution and resolve this issue. BSM will not pursue legal redress if the Selangor government endorses the 10-point solution as that is good enough for us."
I have a few questions:
- What else do you want PM to say?
- What else do you want PM to do?
- Why don't we ask the question on how many BM Bibles were printed and/or imported into Malaysia especially in Sabah and Sarawak?
- What happened to the DAP trio's proposal?
I have not heard a single word from them since Anwar gagged them. Ask Anwar to give us his 10-point solutions then!
Part 3 - Mockery of a democratic election process
The privatisation of PKR and our election system began in Jul 2008 when Wan Azizah (the God sent wife) resigned as MP of Permatang Pauh to allow Anwar Ibrahim to contest the seat. Anwar Ibrahim won the by election.
Today, 27 Jan 2014, Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh submitted his resignation as elected representative of Kajang to Selangor Speaker YB Hannah Yeoh.
Anyone knows why?
I was surprised when I read news in the past week that Anwar could end up being the new MB of Selangor soon. He would rather takeover the post as MB than throw his weight behind Azmin Ali, his loyal General since Anwar's days in UMNO and Ministry of Finance.
If Anwar is the new candidate for the Kajang by election, should we not ask what is the deal with Lee Chin Cheh? How was he "compensated"? The people deserve to know!
This is political prostitution!
By-elections are not meant to satisfy political ambitions and greed. A great amount of resources - labor, financial and time - are involved in every single election and by-elections.
Sudahlah. I am getting tired of Anwar Ibrahim. I have had enough. The next person who tells me that Anwar is a hero and a Statesman, will get a tight slap from me.

I had a bit of time to work on a sculpture for Aaron Riddle, a wedding photographer from Virginia. He learned about my stuff I do from Curtiss who works on my site and keeps it so sheeny/shiny. Getting closer to getting married, though, is keeping me a little busy so I don't know what my sculpting schedule will look like in the next few weeks. There are a few more pieces that gotta get put up and I'll just be here gabbing about my fractured take on politics and civil discourse on Three and a Half Men's best season.

New Yo-Zuri SuperBraid Blue is 'bang on trend'
Article Media Click images to enlarge +
With more and more anglers favouring brightly coloured lines, Yo-Zuri is 'bang on trend' with its new SuperBraid Blue. And it's not just about fashion.
The Japanese brand assures us that this is a 'top of the line braid with outstanding performance qualities'.
Those qualities include superior strength and durability, says the manufacturer, along with very high abrasion resistance and a feel that makes for easy handling.
Blue was chosen to enable anglers to see their line on top of the water and is recommended by Yo-Zuri for use in either saltwater or crystal clear lakes.
It ranges from 10lb to 40lb test for four-strand and 50lb to 80lb test for eight strand.
The line is available in 10lb test/0.15mm diameter right up to 80lb/0.43mm. It is spooled in either 150 yards or 300 yard lengths. It is also available in dark green.
Yo-Zuri is based in Fukuoka, Japan, and has made lines, lures and leaders for more than 50 years. Yo-Zuri America was established in 2003.

While we were home for the holidays one of my best friends convinced me over beers to try the Whole30, a restrictive, paleo-esque 30-day diet that might "change your life" but will at least give you a month of clean eating. Basically: no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no alcohol.
The Whole30 is not for everyone, but there were a few reasons why I decided it was for me: 1) I respond to rules and timelines. 2) I don't require a ton of food variety. 3) I eat a lot of eggs and avocado already!
Finally, the expected results were appealing: not only weight loss but a "reset" to your digestive system and possibly a way to narrow down any food sensitivities you have.
So I rounded up Alyssa as my Whole30 buddy, and—spoiler alert—we did it! Here's how:
Have a Whole30 Buddy.
Knowing it was a huge ask of others, I was prepared to embark on this journey alone—but I'm glad I didn't. A restrictive diet can pull you out of regular life. While you can certainly go out and have a soda water with a lime at the bar, at a certain point you're just not invited to drinking affairs. And eating out is allowed but a minefield, so you're not going to engage in those social engagements as much either. That's why it's better to have a partner in this, so you don't feel like an island.
The Whole30 should not be your first cooking rodeo.
The Whole30 is kind of like a cooking show where you have to make something out of limited items. Because you'll have to get creative and use substitutions, you have to know the basics. This month brought to light for me how bad I am at cooking. My two long-term boyfriends were both excellent cooks—the second one a professional chef—and now I have Alyssa babysitting my cooking so the reality is I've always had a crutch. The upside: I have excellent knife skills as the perpetual sous-chef. Alyssa and I ate most of our meals together, but when I was alone, the difference in my my food and hers was overwhelming.
Make sure you have the time.
That time you're not spending at the bar with your friends? It's going to meal prep. If you have a life without free time, this diet is not for you. The first week took the most time because we didn't have as firm of a grasp on the kinds of meals we were making so there was a lot of Googling / Pinterest board making. And then you make the grocery list. Once we were weeks deep we could run through the store and get the basics as well as imagine spins on meals we liked and go from there. Finally, since most pantry items are off-limits, more trips to the store are required, taking more time. This experience made me feel very fortunate that it was even an option to me.
Choose a month where you can realistically do it.
You have to pick a month where you don't have a wedding/birthday/important drinking affair. January worked well because some of our friends were doing Dry January so that helped us socialize without alcohol. It's tough to find a perfect month; my birthday was in January so we did a Whole30 dinner at home. I think there are pros and cons to certain times of year, for example the drinking part could be harder in summer, but with grilling and famers markets I think eating would be a breeze.
Figure out what is going to save you and stock up.
When I first started researching Whole30 recipes, this one for "Emergency Meatballs" kept coming up, and while I didn't actually make this recipe, the concept of "emergency" food stuck. I knew that I would slip up if I got caught without compliant food. For this reason I tried to be sure I always had eggs, avocados (purchased at varying levels of ripeness), apples, sweet potatoes, almond butter, and almonds. I almost always kept a sweet potato baked, so in a pinch I could quickly make a "baked" apple on the stove with cinnamon, pop it on a sweet potato and drizzle with almond butter.
Presentation matters.
Alyssa is a designer, and in her work she does a lot of food styling and food photography. Sometimes when I'm starving and she's still sprinkling scallions on our chili like she's Salt Bae, I feel like it's unnecessary, but ultimately she's correct. Putting in a little extra effort going into the presentation can make a potentially sad egg and zoodle dinner something you really want to eat.
Ensure that you can soft boil an egg.
The movie Julie and Julia pretty much convinced me not to bother trying to poach an egg, but the soft-boil is super easy way to level up and is the same idea, TBH. While you should be comfortable preparing eggs in at least three ways, I highly recommend the soft boil. One of our repeat meals was a potato pancake (regular or sweet potato!) topped with lox, avocado, and a soft-boiled egg. Another stand-out was zoodles with pesto topped with a soft-boiled egg.
Spiralizer is Bae.
I'm not a kitchen-gadget gal, but the Whole30 convinced me that a spiralizer is a kitchen must-have. Zoodles are incredibly easy and can be a healthy base for several meals: tomato sauce and meatballs, pesto and soft-boiled egg, etc. Additionally you can spiralize regular and sweet potatoes to create a curly roasted potato. I'd never used a spiralizer before this diet and now I can't live without it!
But do you save money?
I saved money because I was not regularly eating out or buying alcohol. While I don't think the Whole30 itself is a money saver, if you make a commitment to not drink, and only eat out once a week or so you'll save about the same amount of cash.
The Results.
My previous habits weren't bad enough to make this a dramatic "ah-ha" moment for me. I was disappointed that I never found more energy. I was slightly less bloated but still had my usual regular stomachaches. I lost 4.5 pounds, which is not dramatic. Though it felt good to know that I could lose weight if I worked at it—and it was useful to know exactly how hard I have to work. The two other improvements I noticed were my skin and my mood. Of course lots of factors influence how you feel, but I only counted four or so days during the Whole30 where I felt like I had anxiety (as opposed to at least half of the month usually) and I never had any breakouts or dryness where I'd say I usually have some kind of skin thing maybe once a month, especially breakouts this time of year.
In Conclusion…
The Whole30 makes you think about why you eat the food you eat. There are factors influencing your choices such as cravings, cost, and convenience. For me, convenience was a big factor in the choices I was making. I don't have a car, so I'd typically maintain dry goods such as pasta, a jar of tomato sauce, beans, and packaged couscous. On this diet, I realized I can get myself to the grocery store to re-up on produce, and I'll get a little bit of exercise in if I walk. As for cravings, I learned that healthy substitutes work for 90% of them. For example, I crave pasta all the time, and I used to curb that craving with pasta and jar sauce (which is not even good!). Now, I know that the same pasta craving can be assuaged with Zoodles or Spagnetti Squash and avocado pesto. Another switch I've made is the baked apple with almond butter in lieu of cereal.
I would recommend the Whole30. I imagine the benefits vary quite a bit from person to person, but no one emerges worse off. The main point is to ensure you are prepared for it and are setting yourself up for success timing and mindset wise.
When it's all over… #TreatYoSelf

Watching the news this morning I saw a report of the IIHS testing headlaml performance on new cars. You can find an article here- http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/51/3/1.
They test around 30 new midsize cars and give ratings based on high and low beam approximate seeing distance based on distance of a 5 lux measurement. They are somewhat vague on the details but say they are measured on straight and curved approach vectors with high and low beams with more weight given to straight line distance and low beams. They say they measure for excessive glare on low beams bit I don't see and specifics on how. They also test the performance of auto beam switching and curve adaptive lamp systems but not much detail is given. Also they do NOT check for optimal aim , instead testing how they come from the factory. They say because most consumers will not have the aim checked and they should come properly aimed from the factory for this reason.
The only lamps to recieve a good rating were the optional led lamps on the new prius. They say the worst performing are the bmw 3 series halogens and give a great deal of cars marginal to poor ratings ( with the best available option of lights installed).
Personally I am happy to see any attention brought to the state of headlamp performance and while I am not sure if their test methods are the best ( particularly the 5lux threshold and the lack of optimal aim) I would really like to hear what others think about this?

I also love Johnny Depp. But that's besides the point.
A friend has trusted me to make the top cake for their wedding. It's not till October, but I am excited. And pooping my pants.
So last night we practised. And avoided any more research into the value of Reggio Emelio inspired displays in the outdoor classroom.
And then this morning Baby Bear helped me to take some photographs. Well, I say helped. I mean that whilst I was trying to find some natural light in the Bears teeny tiny flat, Baby Bear painted my drying foam with edible glue. Very helpful.
At this point Baby Bear was poking at the flowers between photos and saying "Mmmmm, hungry mumma" and making exaggerated licks towards the cake.
And by now he was drawing on the oven in blue edible pen, and singing "Paint, paint, Dora, paint". So we pretty much gave up.
So now we're off to scrub the oven. And the kitchen floor. And Baby Bear himself. And then maybe bake some stem ginger shortbread!

This event was held in accordance with the National Water Policy (NWP) that came into effect on April 23, 2018.
The objective of this extensive dialogue discussion was to create a platform for all the involved and interested parties and to create mutual understanding as stated by the National Water Policy (NWP) from the outset, to award the provinces a significant role in setting the direction for, and the actual implementation of the policy. In its preamble, the policy states that it is a national framework within which the provinces can develop their master plans for sustainable development and management of water resources, given that irrigation, agriculture, rural and urban water supply, environment and other sub-sectors are provincial subjects.
Pro Chancellor LUMS, Syed Babar Ali was present at the event to offer his insight on the dialogue along with acknowledgement for this venture. The event included participants from all the relevant sectors, both private and public, which included Dr. Ishrat Hussain, Advisor to Prime Minister on Institutional Reforms and Austerity, Dr. Abid Bodla, Member Infrastructure Development from Punjab Planning and Development Board, Mr. Khalid Mohtadullah, Senior Water Expert, Mr. Habib Ullah Bodla from Punjab Irrigation Department and Ms. Sana Khalid from Agriculture Delivery Unit, Agriculture Dept. of Pakistan.

Every one appreciated the efforts LUMS has put in for conducting the productive discussion and hoped similiar dialogue discussions would be held more frequently so that diverse approach and strategies could be taken in future for making better water policies.

It's time for me to dispense some of my explanatory powers to the masses. I've got some burning questions from readers that need answering, so let's get to the inbox:
Dear Jane,
I have a giant sign that says "Barbara Bry for City Council. She means business!". Unfortunately, it is now in my living room. Do you suppose Barbara wants it back? Should I save it until the next election?
Signed: UC Political Maven
Dear Maven,
I think I need some backstory here. Are you in favor of Barbara, or did you vote against her? This is important. And, how did you get the sign? Did you ask for it, or did it just sprout overnight on your front lawn? This is also a factor.
I'm a vicious declutterer, so I'd say chuck it out. First of all, Barbara probably doesn't want it back. If she won (I am assuming she did), she will probably want to change her slogan for the next election. Maybe she will want to say "Barbara Bry for City Council. She STILL means business!" or something like that. Yes, you could probably modify the sign but these things don't cost that much, and they are all part of someone's budget. You've done your part like a good citizen, so out it goes to the recycling pile.
On the other hand, if you didn't ask for the sign and you don't want Barbara to win next time around, I suggest you use some spray paint to modify it. Start with "Don't vote for…" and then replace the word "business" with "state-wide bankruptcy". Your call.
Dear Jane,
When my youngest child recently came out as genderqueer at a family gathering, your mother was fairly nice about it. This is impressive for an 86 year old woman. However, she still seems to harbor a suspicion that they are doing it "to get my goat" and "because it's a fad". How can I handle this?
Signed: Living in a New world
Dear New,
You're getting off light. This is weak tea compared to some of the salvos I've seen her serve up. If it makes you feel any better, she thought I was a lesbian for 2 years after I dumped a boyfriend.
Anyway, the idea that gender is fluid is a hot potato at most family gatherings. It doesn't help to explain that all biologists are well aware there are many more than 2 flavors. I see your child prefers "they/their, but the pronouns can be fraught. Also, what about that original first name? Sometimes those need to be replaced, and that's not easy either. Fortunately, as a parent, that's not your job. Your job is just to educate and inform the extended family as needed. For some, you can print this out and send it in the U.S. post. Sounds like you're doing great. Keep up the good work.
Dear Jane,
You people really have to STOP thinking that the stupid Canadians know what's what…they don't! How many times do I have to tell you that Canada is not the promised land? I should know, because I live here! You think we were so great with the First Nations? Ha! Take a look at this! And the English/French thing is something you'll never understand.
Signed: Wake up and smell the maple syrup
Dear Maple,
Lalalalala I can't hear you lalalala
Dear Jane,
My child speaks in unintelligible words like "I think he's a plug" and "you're dragging it". The only expressions we've been able to understand together are "give me money" and "no." How can I fix this?
Signed: Beleaguered Mom
Dear Beleaguered,
Sorry, that's what you get for sending your child to a public school. If you had sent your child to a private school, she'd probably have a somewhat better vocabulary by now (I think it works out to $20,000 per extra word). On the positive side, she'll be corporate fodder for people with exactly the same vocabulary, so communication won't be a problem for her, though it might be for you. As long as she can keep her nose ring from snagging on her crop top, she'll be OK.
Dear Jane,
I love my dog so much. My uncle says the dog is not part of the family, but I think she is. Who's right?
Signed: Puppy Love
Dear Puppy,
In a way, you're both right. That is to say, you are also both wrong. A dog is a member of the family, just not a human member. That's why you can put her in a crate for a few hours so she won't pee on the furniture and it's perfectly fine. If you try that with Grandma, it's a lawsuit.

Or, When Life Imitates Anchorman.
Former Philadelphia newscaster indicted for illegally accessing former colleague's email account. Obsess much?
Federal prosecutors issued a one-count information charging Mendte, a former KYW-TV anchor, with a felony count of intentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization.
Authorities said he repeatedly hacked into the accounts of Alycia Lane, whose personal life had routinely become tabloid fodder and eventually led to her own dismissal from the station.
"People expect that e-mail in a password-protected personal e-mail account is private," acting U.S. Attorney Laurie Magid said. "The mere accessing and reading of privileged information is criminal. This case, however, went well beyond just reading someone's e-mail."
Mendte gained access to Lane's accounts for more than two years, prosecutors said. In a four-month span starting in January, Mendte accessed her accounts approximately 537 times, authorities said.

The Patriots had the game well in hand when they were dealt a pretty crushing blow early Sunday evening in Foxboro.
With the Patriots clinging to a 58-24 lead, tight end Rob Gronkowski went down with what turned out to be broken forearm while serving on the Patriots' field goal team while going for the extra point.
The damage was pretty substantial, with Gronkowski reportedly undergoing surgery Monday morning. The All-Pro is also expected to miss anywhere from four to eight weeks with the injury, putting his status for the start of the playoffs up in the air.
The injury obviously left Patriots fans wondering "Why?" while also doing the unthinkable — questioning Bill Belichick.
See what some media and fans had to say following the injury.

Frontline shipping V. 2017 of Solvers for Excel and Analytic Solver.com
"We're making advanced analytics power tools and learning aids accessible to every business analyst," says Daniel Fylstra, Frontline's president and CEO. "Our users can build models with point-and-click ease of use, while taking advantage of the most advanced analytic algorithms and methods."
In this release, Frontline is making available to all users Analytic Solver Basic V2017, a new version of its Analytic Solver Platform for Education product, formerly offered only for university MBA programs and used to learn by hundreds of thousands of students. Analytic Solver Basic includes every feature of Frontline's analytics software, but handles only limited-size models and data sets, suitable for learning. (All of the 100+ example models and data sets included with the software can be used.) A software license is just $250 per year and includes both the desktop version and access to AnalyticSolver.com. Paired with Solver Academy, Frontline's new Open edX-based online learning platform, Analytic Solver Basic offers a way for business analysts to gain "advanced analytics ninja" skills.
Analytic Solver Basic gives the user an ongoing "free trial" opportunity for all the large-capacity products that Frontline offers. Users can simply create or open models or data sets larger than Analytic Solver Basic's limits – and run them. The software enters "Test Run Summary Only" mode, and runs the problem but delivers only summary information such as the final objective in optimization or key statistics in simulation/risk analysis, then recommends the best upgrade option. After a simple, point-and-click upgrade step, the user has both the large-capacity product and Analytic Solver Basic, with its ongoing "free trial" of other functions.
Also in this release, Frontline has implemented a new cloud-based software licensing system, similar to the approach taken by Adobe Systems. Users can now install and use Frontline's software on multiple computers, such as a desktop, laptop, home PC or virtual machine – but only one of these at a time. A multi-user license option enables organizations to share a license among multiple users and multiple machines, without having to run a special "license server." Licenses can be used while disconnected from the Internet, for lengths of time specific to the license.
The V2017 release features further significant enhancements to Frontline's popular Evolutionary Solver for optimization, focusing on the most difficult non-smooth, non-convex models with integer variables.
The new release features support for industry-standard PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language) for Analytic Solver's full range of classification, prediction, and time series forecasting methods, as well as PMML extensions for text mining. Other data mining enhancements include:
- Ability to create ensembles of any combination of six different classification methods or four different prediction methods.
- Direct use of categorical variables in many predictive algorithms that, in other analytics software, can use only continuous variables
- Ability to "fit," store and apply to new data a wide range of data transformation and unsupervised learning tools, such as PCA and clustering.
- Enhanced neural networks with any number of layers, and better scaling, training and activation function options,
- Enhanced reports and charts, especially for model evaluation, and simplified functions to apply predictive models in Excel worksheets.
Other enhancements include support for very high resolution (4K) monitor, and support for a new version of Tableau Software's Web Data Connector.
In this release, Frontline has simplified its product line and renamed most products. Frontline continues to offer eight plug-in, large-scale Solver Engines for optimization, upgraded in the new release, that work with Analytic Solver Optimization and Analytic Solver Comprehensive.
The new V2017 release is available at AnalyticSolver.com.
