Working on my list
Like many members of this forum I have a lengthy to do list of breads and pastries that I intend to make at some point in time. Making a focused effort at baguettes has been on this list for far too long and I decided late last year it was time to finally do something about it. Baguettes aren't my first choice for a daily bread because they stale so quickly, but they are great to serve just a few hours out of the oven when we have friends or family over for dinner. I've never been truly satisfied with the results of the baguettes I've made in the past, primarily because of the poor crumb, but shaping and slashing were factors that needed attention as well .
Off more than on over the last few months, this project has taken longer than expected for a number of reasons, work, vacation, etc, but over the last few weeks I've managed to get back on track with it and make what I feel is some progress. The formula I was using was based on Jeffrey Hamelman's Poolish Baguette from his book "Bread", (pg 101) the one minor change to it initially being my addition of a small percentage, (6%) of either light rye or whole grain spelt to add a bit more overall flavour. After two mixes following JH's procedure the crumb was slightly better than any previous result I'd had but nothing close to what I'd hoped for.
JH's procedure doesn't include an autolyse in it and I wondered if that might help loosen things up a bit. The next mix was given a 60 minute autolyse which did help open the crumb, showing a few more holes of various sizes, still not as many as I wanted, but better. The white flour I use is from a company here in B.C. , Anita's Organics which is milled from spring wheat and has a protein content of 13.3% with a fairly strong gluten level. I felt this was the most likely suspect for the crumb/hole problem I was having and my suspicion was confirmed after reading Hamelman's section on wheat, specifically paragraph 2-page 36 of "Bread" where he says (paraphrase) that high gluten flours (from spring wheats) in general do not support the long fermentation associated with hearth breads. For better or worse this is the type of flour I had and somehow I needed to find a way to make it work as best as I could. Thinking back to some breads I've made using this flour that had a wide open crumb I remembered that they'd either had a long retarded ferment or high levels of preferment included in the mix. The bread that came to mind first was Hamelman's Pain Rustique, a bread that uses 50% of it's flour in prefermented form and has a crumb with lots of random sized holes and excellent flavour. Since I wanted to avoid an overnight fermentation if I could, I decided for the next mix that I'd increase the poolish from the 33% I'd been using till now, up to 50% and see if that helped in generating more holes. It was one of those classic Aha! moments when I took a slice off the top of a loaf from this new mix and found holes...lots of nice holes! This is better I thought, but just to be sure I did another bake later that week using the same formula and procedure as the last one.
The crumb result was basically the same but neither of these loaves or the ones from the previous bake (top 2 photos) had the right look to them, which I chalked up to not having developed the dough enough during mixing and through bulk fermentation. I'd been doing just light stretch and folds in the bowl during bulk fermentation thinking it would be enough but clearly a better workup was what the dough needed.
For this latest bake (pictured in the photos below) the dough was kneaded on the counter till smooth and slightly springy before going into a 75 minute bulk fermentation with 2 full stretch & folds on the counter at 30 & 60 minutes. This made things a little easier for molding, and allowing me to get a slightly tighter skin on the shaped dough making for cleaner slashes than on the previous loaves.
The crumb turned out nicely, creamy, soft, and porous, and it tastes great. Lots of the toasty, nutty wheat flavour that people crave in a baguette, and highlighted by the small percentage of whole spelt included in the mix. The crust has good colour, splinters when sliced and crackles loudly when eaten. I can't ask for more than that.

This project is now at the point I can say I'd be happy to serve this loaf to my family and friends, but know that when it comes to bread making these projects are seldom ever finished for me. I'd like to try gradually increasing the level of preferment over a series of bakes to see if I can find the sweet spot, assuming it exists, that will yield a slightly more porous crumb than the one above and with enough dough strength left for proper molding. For the immediate future though I'm planning on making something completely different. As enjoyable and interesting as this project has been, I desperately need to get back to eating bread that has something more substantial to it than flour, water, salt and air.

The Oil and the Glory
If the world calls, will Saudi be there?
Let's say that Libya's entire oil production shuts down, a process that currently seems under way.

Let's say that Libya's entire oil production shuts down, a process that currently seems under way. Would Saudi Arabia genuinely make up the difference, as its energy minister, Ali al-Naimi (pictured above), has said in Riyadh? The answer is crucial — everyone from the presidents of the world's leading industrial nations to the CEOs of the Fortune 500 to Wall Street expects Naimi to step up to the plate with Saudi's 4 million barrels a day of excess production capacity should there be an oil shortage. It's not an exaggeration to say that the global economy relies on this presumption.
Yet, not everyone thinks the answer is as pat as the conventional wisdom suggests. For instance, in its overnight note to clients, Cameron Hanover, an energy analysis firm, cast doubt on Saudi Arabia's ability to keep the market supplied:
OPEC, namely Saudi Arabia, pledged to make up any oil lost from Libya, which exports around 1.6 million barrels of oil per day. Of course, that only works as long as Saudi Arabia avoids contagion. And we have not read of contagion ever spreading with greater speed than has been seen these last few weeks. The spread has rivaled the spread of the Black Plague 650 years ago. That very speed may be the factor that has oil markets most on edge.
So now we come to where the rubber hits the road with the turmoil in the Middle East: Just what is the risk of the entire global economy going south, which is what would happen if the Saudis couldn't compensate for a global oil deficit as they have done in the past?
Reuters called a Saudi oil disruption "unthinkable," and in his remarks yesterday, the long-reigning al-Naimi demonstrated that he still has the power to move markets as Brent benchmark crude rose just 4 cents for the day. Even if the Saudis had a bit of trouble, Michael Levi suggests that the world can plan ahead and make up the difference since it has so much in the way of stored-up reserves.
Yet the risk of that not being the case is the context of the turmoil currently under way in global markets — the thought that, say, 5 percent or so of daily oil supply, meaning 4 or 5 million barrels of oil, abruptly is no longer available for purchase, and the Saudis are no longer there to save the day. In a single word, there would be pandemonium.
So where are we now? The Financial Times' Javier Blas and David Blair report that about 350,000 barrels a day, or 22 percent, of Libya's 1.6 million barrels a day of production is now off line:
Repsol said on Tuesday it had shut down the massive El Sharara oilfield, with around 250,000 barrels a day of production. Repsol operates the field but its share of production is just 35,000 b/d. The bulk of the rest will affect Libya's state-owned National Oil Company. Germany's BASF shut down a 100,000 b/d of production in Libya on Monday.
The world currently is awash in oil, and Libya's missing volumes won't halt anyone's factory or vehicle. But if the oil flow becomes cut off from additional petro-states, what will happen? At Fortune, Colin Barr points out that Saudi's long-term rising consumption raises questions about its capacity for rescuing the world economy down the road.
But that is not the question. Instead, given the unpredictability of the Middle East turmoil, it's that the world is looking square in the face of a short-term question as well.

Hundreds of years ago in what is now Great Britain and Northern France, lived the Celts. The Celts worshipped nature and had many gods, with the sun god as their favorite. It was "he" who commanded their work and their rest times, and who made the earth beautiful and the crops grow.
The Celts celebrated their New Year on November 1st. It was celebrated every year with a festival and marked the end of the "season of the sun" and the beginning of "the season of darkness and cold."
On October 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished. The Druids, the Celtic priests, would meet in the hilltop in the dark oak forest (oak trees were considered sacred). The Druids would light new fires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals. As they danced around the the fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness would begin.
When the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires. These fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits.
The November 1st festival was called Samhain (pronounced "sow-en"). The festival would last for 3 days. Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals. This festival would become the first Halloween.
During the first century the Romans invaded Britain. They brought with them many of their festivals and customs. One of these was the festival know as Pomona Day, named for their goddess of fruits and gardens. It was also celebrated around the 1st of November. After hundreds of years of Roman rule the customs of the Celtic's Samhain festival and the Roman Pomona Day mixed becoming 1 major fall holiday.
The next influence came with the spread of the new Christian religion throughout Europe and Britain. In the year 835 AD the Roman Catholic Church would make November 1st a church holiday to honor all the saints. This day was called All Saint's Day, or Hallowmas, or All Hallows. Years later the Church would make November 2nd a holy day. It was called All Souls Day and was to honor the dead. It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and people dressing up as saints, angels and devils.
But the spread of Christianity did not make people forget their early customs. On the eve of All Hallows, Oct. 31, people continued to celebrate the festivals of Samhain and Pomona Day. Over the years the customs from all these holidays mixed. October 31st became known as All Hallow Even, eventually All Hallow's Eve, Hallowe'en, and then - Halloween.
The Halloween we celebrate today includes all of these influences, Pomona Day's apples, nuts, and harvest, the Festival of Samhain's black cats, magic, evil spirits and death, and the ghosts, skeletons and skulls from All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day.
Have an enjoyable All Hallow's Eve, remembering the saints who have gone before you!

Justin Bieber Battles Against Usher on the Dance Floor at Listening Party
Not only are Justin Bieber and Usher good friends, they are also competitive as well. When the R&B crooner held his one-day run in the off-Broadway production of 'Fuerza Bruta' to preview his new album 'Looking 4 Myself,' Biebs came through to support his boss.
While Bieber thought he was there to enjoy a show, Usher had other intentions. Midway through his performance of 'Scream,' Usher challenged Bieber to a dance battle for dance-floor supremacy. "[We] brought him to the middle of the dance floor, and we got it in," he recalls to MTV News. "But we always show support for each other like that. We was housing a little bit."
Usher takes great pride in watching Bieber evolve into a pop superstar. At 18 years of age, Bieber has been able to achieve his dreams and surround himself with some good people. "Cool part about it is, he's really able to live a dream that I think most teenagers would want to," says Usher. "To be able to have friends like [Floyd] Mayweather — they are actual friends, hang out, talk — it's really cool to be able to have friends all around the world and people that can relate to your reality."
"I don't think Michael [Jackson] had people like that," he continued. "I didn't have a ton of people like that. I had Puff. I had JD [producer Jermaine Dupri] … but to be able to have friends all around the world that keep you, it's cool."
Sadly, Usher reveals that a Justin Bieber and Usher duet is still in the works. "We actually have the first phase of both of our albums, which the song will not be featured there but stayed tuned," he said. "We want to make sure it's perfect. Neither one of us wanted the hoopla of it just being a publicity moment. When it's finished it's going to be an incredible [song]."

Before the Vancouver Olympics, the Canadians set out to own the podium.
Here in Sochi, at least when it comes to freestyle skiing, they've kept a nice hold on their purchase.
Marielle Thompson and Kelsey Serwa won gold and silver for Canada in women's skicross Friday, giving their country bookend 1-2 performances in Olympic freestyle skiing.
Freestyle opened Feb. 8 with sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe of Montreal finishing first and second in moguls.
In between, the Canadians sent two people to the freestyle podium twice - in men's moguls and women's slopestyle - and also had the men's silver medalist on the halfpipe.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
In all, that's nine freestyle medals for the country that pumped upward of $110 million into their "Own The Podium" program in advance of the Vancouver Games four years ago.
Canada's leaders wanted the country to reach its full potential on the mountain and saw opportunities in the wave of action-sports events introduced to the Olympics over the past two decades. They also wanted to build a program that would last - and certainly it has.
This marked Thompson's third and biggest win of the season. Serwa is a regular on World Cup podiums herself.
The final on a foggy, drizzly day at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park pitted the four fastest women in qualifying. Thompson, ranked third, took an early lead against the first-ranked Serwa and never let it slip.
Ophelie David of France wiped out about two-thirds of the way down the course, which gave the bronze to Sweden's Anna Holmlund.
Once again, women's skicross offered its fair share of ugly accidents that could ignite a discussion over whether the Olympic course is built too big for the women.
In back-to-back quarterfinals, Anna Woerner of Germany and Stephanie Joffroy of Chile were taken off the course on stretchers after scary accidents. No updates were immediately provided. Joffroy waved to the crowd at the bottom and Woerner could be seen covering her face with her hands.
Their wrecks were jarring reminders of the dangers of this sport that were amplified when Russian skicross racer Maria Komissarova fractured her spine in training last weekend. She had emergency surgery at a hospital in the mountains and was later taken to Munich, Germany, for another operation.
The "injury" section of Serwa's official Olympic bio reads like a human anatomy exam: Back, thumb and rib injuries in 2011, ruptured knee ligament after getting caught up in another skier's pole in 2012, re-tore the knee last March. That's just the bad stuff.
Like so many in this sport, she started as an Alpine skier but switched when she heard skicross was added to the Olympics for the Vancouver Games.
Thompson, whose "sporting philosphy," per her biography, is "You've got to risk it for the biscuit," won a silver medal at last year's world championships and dedicated it to Nik Zoricic, the Canadian who died on the skicross course in Switzerland in 2012.
Zoricic wore blue jeans to training in the early days because he didn't have the right kind of snow pants. The Canadian team, normally awash in red and white, went with blue, denim-looking snowpants to honor their fallen friend at the Olympics.
There's some gold, silver and bronze in the mix, as well.
These medals gave Canada 22 for the Olympics with 82 of the 98 events complete.

Marcia Clark: 'Guilt By Association'
Former district attorney pens first novel.
April 18, 2011 -- Check out an excerpt of "Guilt By Association" by Marcia Clark.
He snapped his cell phone shut and slid it into the pocket of his skintight jeans. The last piece was in place; it wouldn't be long now. But the waiting was agonizing. Unbidden, the memory of his only ride on a roller coaster flooded over him, like a thousand tiny needles piercing his face and body: eight years old, trapped in that rickety little car with no escape, the feeling of breathtaking terror that mounted as it click- click-clicked its slow, inexorable climb to the top of the sky.
He shook his head to cleanse his mind of the memory, then abruptly grabbed his long brown hair and pulled it tightly into a ponytail behind his head. He held it there and exhaled again more slowly, trying to quiet his pulse. He couldn't afford to lose it now. With the lift of his arms, his worn T-shirt rode up, and he absently admired in the little mirror above the dresser the reflection of the coiled snake tattooed on his slim, muscled belly.
He started pacing, the motel carpet crunching under his feet, and found that the action helped. Despite his anxiety, he moved with a loose-hipped grace. Back and forth he walked, considering his plan yet again, looking for flaws. No, he'd set it up just right. It would work. It had to work. He stopped to look around at the dimly lit motel room."Room" was using the term loosely— it was little more than a box with a bed. His eyes fell on a switch on the wall. Just to have something to do, he went over and flipped it on. Nothing happened. He looked up and saw only a filthy ceiling fan. The sour smell of old cigarettes told him that it hadn't worked in years. There were stains of undetermined origin on the walls that he thought were probably older than he was. The observation amused him. Neither the stains, nor the foul smell of decay, nor the hopeless dead- end feeling of the place fazed him at all. It wasn't that much worse than a lot of the places he'd lived during his seventeen years on the planet.
In fact, far from depressing him, the ugly room made him feel triumphant. It represented the world he'd been born into, and the one he was finally leaving behind . . . forever. For the first time in a life that had nearly ended at the hands of a high-wired crackhead while his so-called mother was crashing in the next room, he was going to be in control. He paused to consider the memory of his early near demise — not a firsthand memory since he'd been only two months old when it happened, but rather a paragraph in the social worker's report he'd managed to read upside down during a follow-up visit at one of the many foster homes where he'd been "raised" for the past sixteen or so years. As it always did, the memory of that report made him wonder whether his mother was still alive. The thought felt different this time, though. Instead of the usual helpless, distant ache — and rage — he felt power, the power to choose. Now he could find her . . . if he wanted to. Find her and show her that the baby she'd been too stoned to give a shit about had made it. Had scored the big score.
In just a few more minutes, he'd say good-bye to that loser kid who lived on the fringes. He stopped, dropped his hands to his hips, and stared out the grimy window as he savored the thought of having "fuck you" money. He planned to extend a vigorous middle finger to the many foster parents for whom he was just a dollar sign, to all the assholes he'd had to put up with for a meal and a bed. And if he did decide to find his mother, he'd show up with something awesome for her, a present, like a dress or jewelry. Something to make her sorry for all the years she'd let him be lost to her. He pictured himself giving her whatever it was in a fancy, store-wrapped box. He tried to picture the expression on her face, but the image wouldn't resolve. The only photo he had of her — taken when he was less than a year old— was so faded, only the outline of her long brown hair was still visible. Still, the thought of being able to play the Mac Daddy puffed him up, and for a moment he let himself go there, enjoying the fantasy of his mother really loving him.
The knock on the door jolted him back to reality. He swallowed andstruggled for a deep breath, then walked toward the door. He noticed his hands were shaking, and he quickly rubbed them on his thighs to make them stop. He slowly released his breath and willed his face to relax as he opened the door.
"Hey," he said, then held the door open and moved aside to let in his visitor. "What took you so long?"
"Lost track of the time, sorry." The visitor stepped inside quickly.
"You have it all?" the boy asked, wary.
The visitor nodded. The boy smiled and let the door close behind him.
Chapter 1
"Guilty? Already? What'd they do, just walk around the table and hit the buzzer?" Jake said, shaking his head incredulously.
I laughed, nodding. "I know, it's crazy. Forty-?five-?minute verdict after a three-?month trial," I said as I shook my head. "I thought the clerk was kidding when she called and told me to come back to court." I paused. "Now that I think about it, this might be my fastest win ever on a first-?degree." "Hell, sistah, that's the fastest win I done heard on anythang," Toni said as she plopped down into the chair facing my desk. She talked ghetto only as a joke.
"Y'all gotta admit," I said, "homegirl brought game this time."
Toni gave me a disdainful look. "Uh-uh, snowflake. You can't pull it off, so don't try." She reached for the mug I kept cleaned and at the ready for her on the windowsill.
I raised an eyebrow. "You've got a choice: take that back and have a drink, or enjoy your little put-?down and stay dry."
Toni eyed the bottle of Glenlivet on my desk, her lips firmly pressed together, as she weighed her options. It didn't take long. "It's amazing. For a minute there, I thought Sister Souljah was in the room," she said with no conviction whatsoever. She slammed her mug down on my desk. "Happy?"
I shrugged. "Not your best effort, but they can't all be gold." I broke the small ice tray out of my mini-?fridge, dumped the cubes into her cup, and poured the equivalent of two generous shots of Glenlivet.
Toni shot me a "don't push your luck" look and signaled a toast. I turned to Jake and gestured to the bottle. "Maybe a token?" I asked. He was a nondrinker by nature, but he'd occasionally join in to be sociable.
He nodded and gave me that little-?boy smile that could light up a room — the same one that had warmed the hearts of juries across the county. His wire-?rim glasses, wavy brown hair, and country-?boy, self-?effacing style — the dimples didn't hurt, though they were redundant — made a winning combination. Juries instinctively trusted him. He had a look that was almost angelic, making it hard for anyone to believe he'd even graduated from college, much less done all the backbreaking work required to finish law school and survive into his seventh year in the DA's office. I poured him a short dog of Glenlivet with a liberal dousing of water, careful not to give him more than he could handle. I was careful not to give myself more than I could handle either: a heavy-?handed, undiluted triple shot.
Toni raised her mug. "To Rachel Knight: she put the 'speed' in 'speedy trial.' "
Jake lifted his cup. "To that," he said with a sly grin. "Until I beat her record."
I rolled my eyes. Jake had just thrown down the gauntlet. "Oh no, here we go," I said.
"Oh yeah," Toni replied. She narrowed her eyes at Jake. "It's on now, little man."
Jake gave her a flinty smile and nodded. They looked each other in the eye as they clinked cups. We all drank, Toni and I in long pulls, Jake in a more modest sip.
Toni turned back to the matter at hand. "Was this the dope-?dealer shoot-?out at MacArthur Park?" she asked.
I shook my head. Toni, Jake, and I were in Special Trials, the small, elite unit that handled the most complex and high-?profile cases. Though Toni was as tough and competitive as anyone in the unit, she didn't live the job the way Jake and I did. It was one of the many ways Toni and I balanced each other.
Before I could answer, Jake said, "No, this was the one where the defendant poisoned his wife, then dumped the body off the cliff in Palos Verdes."
Toni thought for a moment. "Oh yeah. Body washed out to sea, right? And they never found a murder weapon."
I nodded.
Toni shook her head, smiling. "Evidence is for pussies," she said with a laugh. "You really are my hero." She raised her mug for another toast.
"I got lucky," I said with a shrug, raising mine to join her.
Toni made a face. "Oh please. Can you stop with the 'I'm so humble' stuff already? I've seen you pull these beasts together before. Nobody else drags their ass all over this county the way you do." She turned to Jake and added, " 'Cept maybe you." She took another sip, then sat back. "Both of you are ridiculous, and you know it."
Jake and I exchanged a look. We couldn't argue. From the moment Jake had transferred into Special Trials two years ago, we'd found in each other a kindred workaholic spirit. Being a prosecutor was more than a career for us— it was a mission. Every victim's plight became our own. It was our duty to balance their suffering with some measure of justice. But by an unspoken yet entirely mutual agreement, our passion for the work never led us into personal territory — either physically or verbally. We rarely had lunch outside the building together, and during the long nights after court when we'd bat our cases around, we never even considered going out to dinner; instead we'd raid my desk supply of tiny pretzels, made more palatable by the little packets of mustard Jake snatched from the courthouse snack bar. Not once in all those long nights had we ever discussed our lives outside the office — either before or after becoming prosecutors. I knew that this odd boundary in our relationship went deeper than our shared devotion to the job. It takes one to know one, and I knew that I never asked personal questions because I didn't want to answer them. Jake played it close to the vest in the same way I did: don't ask, don't tell, and if someone does ask — deflect. The silent awareness of that shared sensibility let us relax with each other in a way we seldom could with anyone else.
"Well, she's not entirely wrong, Tone," Jake said with a smirk. "She did get lucky — she had Judge Tynan."
Toni chuckled. "Oh sweet Jesus, you did get lucky. How many times did you slip?"
"Not too bad this time," I admitted. "I only said 'asshole' once."
"Not bad for you," Toni remarked, amused. "When?"
"During rebuttal argument. And I was talking about one of my own witnesses."
My inability to rein in my colorful language once I got going had earned me fines on more than one occasion. You'd think this financial incentive would've made me clean up my act. It hadn't. All it had done was inspire me to keep a slush fund at the ready.
"There is an undeniable symmetry to your contempt citations," Toni observed. "What did Tynan do?"
"Just said, 'I'm warning you, Counsel.' " I sighed, took another sip of my drink, and stretched my legs out under the desk. "I wish I had all my cases in front of him."
"Hah!" Jake snorted. "You'd wear out your welcome by your second trial, and you'd be broke by your third."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
Jake shrugged. "Hey, I'm just sayin' . . ."
I laughed and threw a paper clip at him. He caught it easily in an overhand swipe, then looked out at the clock on the Times Building. "Shit, I've got to run. Later, guys." He put down his cup and left. The sound of his footsteps echoed down the hallway.
I turned to Toni. "Refresher?" I said as I held up the bottle of Glenlivet.
Toni shook her head. "Nah. I've had enough of county ambience for one day. Why don't we get out of here and hit Church and State? We should celebrate the hell out of this one."
Church and State was a fun new restaurant in the old Meatpacking District, part of the ongoing effort to gentrify downtown L.A. Though how a restaurant that catered to a hip, moneyed crowd was going to make it with Skid Row just two blocks away was a looming question. I looked over at the stack of cases piled on the table where I kept my mini-?fridge. I wanted to party, and with that gnarly no-body murder behind me, I could probably afford to. But the trial had taken me away from my other cases, and I always got a little — okay, a lot— panicky when I hadn't looked in on a case for more than a few days. If I went out with Toni tonight, I'd just be stressing and wishing I were working. I owed it to her to spare her that drag.
"Sorry, Tone, I—"
"Don't even bother— I know." Toni shook her head as she plunked her mug down on my desk and stood to go. "You can't even take time off for one little victory lap? It's sick, is what it is." But it wasn't news, as evidenced by the lack of surprise in Toni's voice.
"How about tomorrow night? We'll do Church and State, whatever you want," I promised with more hope than conviction. I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to wade through the pile of cases and finish all the catch-up work by then. But I hated to disappoint Toni, so I privately vowed to push myself hard and make it happen.
Toni looked at me and sighed. "Sure, we'll talk tomorrow." She slung her laptop bag over one shoulder and her purse over the other. "I'm heading out. Try not to stay too late. If even your OCD partner-in-crime took a powder," she said, tilting her head toward Jake's office, "you can spare a night off too."
"I know." I looked toward his office. "What's up with that?" I laughed.
"Maybe his alien leaders told him to get a friggin' life," Toni said as she moved to the doorway.
"And I've already got one, so I am now officially exiting the OCD Zone." She smiled and headed down the hall.
"Have fun!"
"You too," she called back. In a loud stage whisper, she muttered, "Ya freak."
"I heard that!" I yelled out.
"Don't care!"
I leaned back to rest my head against the cold leather of the majestic judge's chair. It was a tight fit at my little county-?issue prosecutor's desk, but I didn't mind. The chair had mysteriously appeared late one night, abandoned in the hallway a few doors from my office. I'd looked up and down the hall to make sure the coast was clear, then whisked it into my office and pushed my own sorry little chair out to a hallway distant enough that it wouldn't be traced back. As I'd returned to my office, scanning the hallway for witnesses, I wondered whether someone had "liberated" the chair straight out of a judge's chambers. The possibility made my score even more triumphant.
I turned to the stack of case files and pulled the first one off the top, but within fifteen minutes I felt my eyelids drooping. I'd thought I'd had enough energy to plow through at least a few cases, but as usual I'd underestimated how tired I was. And the Glenlivet hadn't helped.
I listened to the last stragglers chatter their way out of the office. As the door snicked closed behind them, silence filled the air. I was tired, but I wasn't ready to go home. This was my favorite part of the day, when I had the whole DA's office to myself. No phones, no friends, no cops to distract me. I exhaled and looked out the window at the view that never got old. The streetlights had blinked on, and the jagged outline of the downtown L.A. office buildings glowed against the encroaching darkness. From my perch on the eighteenth floor of the Criminal Courts Building, I could see all the way from the main cop shop, the Police Administration Building, to the theaters at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and all the streets and sidewalks in between. The irony of being in the middle of those two extremes still made me smile. Just having an office with a window was a coup — let alone one with a spectacular view. But the fact that it had come with my transfer into Special Trials — the unit I'd worked my ass off to get into for seven years — made it a delicious victory.
Not that I'd minded working the routine felonies during my stints in the smaller Van Nuys and Compton branch courts. Seeing the same defendants come back to the fold with a new case every couple of years gave the job a kind of homey, family feeling. Sure, it was a weird, dysfunctional, and largely criminal family, but still. So it wasn't as though I was miserable when I worked the outlying courts. It just wasn't for me. From the moment I'd heard of the Special Trials Unit, based in the hub of the DA's office downtown, I'd known it was where I wanted to be. I'd been warned by the senior prosecutors in the branch courts about the long hours, the marathon-?length trials, the public scrutiny, and the endless pressure I'd face in the unit. I didn't tell them that, for me, that was the allure. And being in the unit was even better than I'd imagined. On almost every case, I got to work with great cops and the best lawyers — for both the prosecution and the defense — I'd ever seen. Far from a detraction, the intensity of the job was exhilarating. Too often in life a long-?desired goal, once achieved, turns out to be much less than expected — as they say, "Be careful what you wish for." Not this time. Getting into Special Trials was all I'd hoped for and then some, and I savored that fact at least once a day.
I tried to drag my mind back down to the supplemental reports — updates on the investigation — that had been added to the case file during the last month, but the words were blurring on the page. I leaned back in my chair, hoping to catch a second wind, and watched the cars crawl down Main Street. The sky had darkened, and clouds were moving in.
I could tell my second wind wasn't going to arrive anytime soon. I decided to admit defeat and pack it in for the night. I got up, stretched, walked over to the table next to the window where I'd dropped my briefcase, and brought it over to my desk. I threw in five of the files — wishful thinking, I knew — picked up my purse, and grabbed my coat off the hook on the back of the door. I swung into my jacket and slung the strap of my briefcase over my shoulder, then reached into my coat pocket and flipped off the safety on my palm-?size .22 Beretta. Then I kicked out the doorstop and headed down the hall toward the bank of elevators as my office door clicked shut behind me.
At this time of day I didn't have long to wait. Within seconds, the bell rang and I stepped into a blissfully empty car. The elevator hurtled down all eighteen floors and came to a shuddering stop on the first floor. It was a head-?spinning ride that happened only at quiet times like this. I enjoyed the rush as long as I ignored what it meant about the quality of the machinery and my possible life expectancy.
As I walked through the darkened lobby toward the back doors, I stretched my eyes for better peripheral vision. I'd been walking to work ever since I'd moved into the nearby Biltmore Hotel a year ago. It seemed stupid to drive the six blocks to the courthouse, and I enjoyed the walk — it gave me a chance to think. Plus it saved me a bundle in gas and car maintenance. The only time I had second thoughts about it was after dark. Downtown L.A. empties out after 5:00 p.m., leaving a population that lives mainly outdoors. It wasn't the homeless who worried me as much as the bottom-?feeders who preyed on them.
Being a prosecutor gave me an inside line on the danger in any area, but the truth was, I'd grown up with the knowledge that mortal peril lurked around every corner. So although I didn't have a permit to carry, I never left either home or office without a gun. The lack of a permit occasionally worried me, but as my father used to say, "I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six." I'd never applied for a permit because I didn't want to get turned down. There'd been a crackdown on gun permits ever since a certain sheriff's brother-in-law had fired "warning shots" at some neighborhood kids for blasting rap music from their car. And, to be honest, permit or no, I was going to carry anyway. Besides, I was no novice when it came to guns. Being my father's daughter, I'd started learning how to shoot the moment I could manage a shaky two-?handed grip. If I had to shoot, I wouldn't miss. I stood at the wall of glass that faced out toward the Times Building and scanned the parking lot and sidewalk, as always, looking for signs of trouble. Seeing nothing, I pushed open the heavy glass door and stepped out into the night.
As I walked toward the stairs that led down to street level, I heard the sound of sirens, distant at first but rapidly getting louder. Suddenly the air was pierced with the whooping screams and bass horn blasts of fire engines. They were close, very close. Police cars, their sirens shrieking, seemed to be approaching from all directions, and the night air jangled with wild energy. I watched intently, waiting to see where they were headed. The flashing lights seemed to stop and coalesce about four blocks south and east of the Biltmore, in the middle of a block I knew was filled with junk stores, iron-?grilled pawnshops, and low-?rent motels. I'd never seen this much action at a downtown crime scene. My usual "neighbors" — druggies, pimps, hookers, and the homeless — generally didn't get this kind of "Protect and Serve" response. My curiosity piqued, I decided to find out what was going on. At least with all those cops around, I wouldn't have to worry about muggers.

Environmental rollbacks pass NC Senate
A bill requiring local governments and state agencies to roll back environmental regulations has passed the North Carolina Senate.
The Republican bill approved Thursday requires cities, counties and state agencies to repeal or rewrite rules that go beyond federal law. It also allows businesses or utilities with decommissioned buildings to dispose of waste on-site rather than transporting the material to a landfill.
The measure also potentially weakens standards to mitigate damage to wetlands.
Sen. Josh Stein of Raleigh successfully changed the bill to limit water and air pollution permits to the current eight-year period, rather than the proposed 10 years.
Republicans say the bill helps improve the state's business climate. Democrats and environmentalists say it forces a one-size-fits all solution on local governments.
The bill now goes to the House.

Twitter has reportedly acquired BlueFin Labs, which generates social TV analytics, in a deal which is said to be the social-networking giant's biggest-ever.
According to Business Insider, Twitter has closed a deal to buy BlueFin, a company that specializes in helping media companies understand how people use social media in conjunction with their TV watching.
As Business Insider wrote, "Twitter's move into social TV makes a lot of sense. It hired a Head of TV last fall and there's a strong correlation between people watching shows and tweeting about them. Just look at last night's Super Bowl. With the help of a lengthy blackout, it was the most social event to ever air."
On its Web site, BlueFin is currently advertising its report on last night's Super Bowl. "On advertising's biggest day, which commercials succeeded in driving the social conversation and which fizzled? Our detailed report analyzes social chatter for Super Bowl spots: the winners, losers...and why."
Certainly, having the inside scoop on such information would help Twitter as it attempts to become more of a media company, and as it tries to bolster its advertising revenue by working hand-in-hand with brands and with TV networks. BlueFin has aimed to become a leader in the space by offering top-tier analysis of how "brands, agencies, and TV networks can tap into viewer commentary about shows and commercials to power insights, ad sales, and media buys."
Neither Twitter nor Blue Fin Labs immediately responded to requests for comment by CNET.

This past June, NIDA attended the Students Against Destructive Decisions' (SADD) national conference in Chicago to give our partner a sneak peek of the new PEERx materials, which aim to raise awareness in young people about the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
SADD members from across the country came to the conference to discuss real-life issues that affect teens, exchange ideas, and share opinions on current programs that address teens and risky choices like abusing prescription drug abuse or texting while driving.
Red Fingernails Send a Message
We learned about some cool things going on in communities around the United States, including an effort to increase participation in Red Ribbon Week. In case you don't know, the last week in October each year is a time for communities and individuals to get active in taking a stand against drug abuse. Red Ribbon Week was established in honor of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffickers in Mexico while fighting the battle to stop illegal drugs from coming into our country.
To highlight Red Ribbon Week, some SADD members walked around the conference with nail polish and painted one nail on everyone's hand red to symbolize that it only takes one bad decision to go down the wrong path. Both girls AND boys did the red fingernail thing, which got a lot of attention!
We had a great time learning about SADD members' interests and passion to help their peers avoid destructive decisions. Many stopped by the NIDA booth to catch a sneak peek of our Choose Your Path video that just went live as part of PEERx. Let us know what you think.
If you're a SADD member, say a quick "hello" in the comments section below and let us know what you liked most about the conference. We'd love to hear from you!
Hi guys!
It was great seeing you all at the conference! I really enjoyed being able to participate in your interactive both!
way to go IL SADD Student Advisory Board on your Paint Illinois Red Campaign----we painted the conference red!!!
Hello..I love everything about that conference. Please support SADD. Thanks!
[link removed, per guidelines]
The discussion on real-life Issues that affect teens was good. An important part of young people growing up is to get attention and to be seen . It is easy to talk about external factors, but getting recognition and that the adults spend time with young people are most important.
I support SADD and anything that will prevent or reduce that abuse of drugs specially on young people. Your brain is irreplaceable and drugs can kill it.

Whatever side your on - Obama, Romney, someone else - it's becoming clear that we're giving away our freedom in America.
Congrat to Obama/Biden for winning the game. The Electoral College has essentially created a strategy game for the uber rich. If you don't have $2B (or to be fairer, influence of $2B) you are a slave to the system. We are nothing but a bunch of slaves/pawns in their game.
The game's quite brilliant if you look at it objectively. These uber rich guys have to pretend to care about you and me - a lie which is so hurtful in a sense that our only reasonable response is to put our head in the sand and pretend it isn't so. At the same time, they must paint a contrived truth about others in a way that we can openly believe it. The painting becomes their own self portrait masterpiece. That makes no sense and perfect sense simultaneously.
I've always been a little jealous of people that can lie to your face and con you into liking them in the same breath. I also feel bad because these guys are pawns in the system as well.
I guess it really can't be avoided. Every action a gov't takes essentially removes a personal freedom. It's a paradox of sorts. Every single vote, bill, idea, etc. that comes from the gov't enslaves us to the system and pulls us deeper into dependency that we'll never escape.
This stuff really has almost 0 impact on you or me. We can overcome any obstacle in our lifetimes. But the tiny little waves the gov't makes today will impact future generations in 50-100 years from now. We can be selfish and find happiness and a path that makes sense that keeps us content. We can live above this. But everything will come back to bite the future.
It's sad. Who cares? It matters. It doesn't. I can't make sense of something that's the most important thing in the world yet there's no rational reason to feel anything other than apathy.
The crux of the problem is that any action taken to fix the problems almost always leads to more complications. I'm starting to understand why all empires fall/fail eventually.
The only thing that makes sense is that things eventually just become too complex and you've gotta stop re-arranging the chairs on the Titanic. And you just have to start over fresh.
Anyone think we can get a do-over in our lifetime?

Tokyo and Osaka fashion: H&M to introduce Monki and Weekday to Japan in the future
Kanako Itamae and Michel Lebon
Modern Tokyo Times
The fashion company Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) is going from strength to strength in Japan. This reality means that H&M will introduce two of their brands to Japan within the near future. Currently, it is perceived that the brands Monki and Weekday will be introduced to Japan in early 2014 but this date could feasibly be moved forward.
H&M in 2012 decided on opening up new stores in Japan and this most notably applies to Nagoya. After all, in Tokyo and other parts of Kanto the brand H&M is part of the fashion landscape for many fashion lovers. The other major city which was targeted by H&M was Osaka. However, it is hoped that in the future that this company will further consolidate in other parts of Kansai because of the vibrancy of the entire region.
The vibrancy of fashion in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka is simply amazing. This applies to the intriguing variations of fashion within Tokyo and Osaka respectively. It is more than likely that Monki and Weekday will follow the Tokyo and Osaka route.
Fashion in Japan is an extremely vibrant sector and clearly H&M is raking in the rewards. Sales throughout the first nine months of 2012 in Japan remain vibrant, despite the negative global economy. This reality means that H&M is extremely positive about the future of this company in Japan. Therefore, it is believed that not only will Monki and Weekday enhance the reputation of H&M in Japan; but equally important, this new initiative will preserve the reputation of H&M because both brands will bring a new freshness.
On the following link (http://www.adbrands.net) many fine attributes are stated about H&M. The above highlighted website comments that "H&M is one of Europe's two leading clothing brands, seemingly immune from the woes than have plagued many other retailers, not least US rival Gap. One key selling point has been an annual collaboration with different star designers."
In many fashion surveys in Tokyo the name H&M featured highly with regards to ladies who adore the richness of amazing boutiques. Therefore, if the past is to be relied on, it would appear that Monki and Weekday will further enhance H&M in Japan.


text: Hi all, I have decided to do an ongoing report on the new Continental TrailAttack tyres, posting as I go. Why? I have scoured the web for info on various tyres and it seems that you can't get decent info on this newly-released tyre. So I got a set. First off, I do mostly road km's, and some off-roading. Our dirt in this area of the woods consists of gravel roads, leading up to gnarly rocky roads. there is some sand but it's usually a puddle of mud that's avoidable. mostly. This tyre is designed by the factory to be "a mostly on-road tyre with all the latest technology, for the rider that sometimes goes off-road". eg what I would say is 90% of GS usage. I intend to use it as designed, so if I have a gnarly off-road trip that I know about coming up, on will go TKC's- either a set or just a front to give me some dirt grip. or maybe not! so saying that, here's some facts: Bike: R1150GS 2002 model (80,000km) Suspension: WP weight of rider: approx 100kg WITH gear. Ride ability: I'm what I would consider a quick, but not outright fast road rider. Offroad I'm Mr Joe Average. Pressures: I'll run the stock pressures, experiment either way with dirt and road usage. I'll post this as I go. Here's a pic of the tyres. Some initial notes. The Continental tyres are made in a few places around the world, and quite often (as is the case here) the front is made in one country (Korea), the rear is made in another (Germany). go figure. I would be interested in posts from other users on the sidewall markings- where their tyres came from? Tread depth is 5mm at the front, and 9mm at the rear. Very similar to a new Tourance. the grooves are thinner at the edges of the rear, giving the impression of less groove and therefore less 'dirtability'. The front has similar groove numbers and widths as the Tourance, so I can only assume that the front will behave as a Tourance would. I will use the Tourance as a comparison as A: most people have ridden on Tourance as it is an OEM fitment and B: I have good experience with the same.

Hundreds of cyclists taking part in Dempsey Challenge
Annual event raises more than $1 million
Hundreds of bicyclists are taking part in fundraising rides in central Maine launched by the actor who plays Dr. McDreamy on "Grey's Anatomy."
Cyclists in the fourth annual Dempsey Challenge are taking part in 10, 25, 50, 70 and 100-mile rides on Sunday to raise money for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. More than 1,400 riders had registered.
Thousands more took part in fundraising walking and running events on Saturday.
Dempsey, who was born in Lewiston and grew up in nearby Turner and Buckfield, was inspired to launch the weekend of running, walking and cycling events under his name following the experience of his 77-year-old mother's battles with ovarian cancer.

Opponents of a proposed Walmart in Brooklyn, NY, are targeting members and employees of Equinox to urge the club's parent company not to follow through with the move.
Leaflets have been distributed at four Equinox clubs in Manhattan and Brooklyn in recent weeks, according to a report in Crain's New York Business. The leaflets ask members to call Stephen Ross, the CEO of the Related Cos., which owns Equinox, and "tell him you don't want your gym dues paying to bring Walmart to NYC," the newspaper reported.
"Any claims that Equinox profits/dues are being used to bring Walmart to New York are completely false," a spokeswoman for Related told the newspaper.
Crain's reported last year that Walmart was targeting a spot in Related's planned 630,000-square-foot Gateway II shopping center in East New York. The Wall Street Journal reported in July that Walmart was in advanced lease negotiations for space at the shopping center.
Related bought Equinox in 2006. Earlier this year, Equinox purchased four clubs from The Sports Club Co.

Van stolen in Fond du Lac found in West Allis
Suspect, 19, taken into custody
An off-duty West Allis police officer is being credited with finding the man who police said stole a van in Fond du Lac with a boy inside.
The van was taken from a Shopko parking lot Tuesday.
"I was like scared kind of, until I got out. Then I got out and called my brother, and he got my dad and he came and picked me up," said 8-year-old Eli Jaschob, who was in the van.
The suspect let the boy safely out of the van about 2 miles away and then took off, launching a manhunt.
But that search ended around 6 a.m. Wednesday, 60 miles away in a West Allis neighborhood.
The early morning commotion captured on the cellphone of a WISN 12 News viewer.
"One of our off-duty officers observed the vehicle in question in the area of 82nd and Oklahoma," West Allis police Capt. Chris Botsch said. "The officer immediately recognized it from seeing it on the news, and the plate was pretty distinct because it is a personalized plate."
Botsch said the office kept an eye on the vehicle until several squad cars arrived. That's when officers approached the vehicle and found the suspect.
"He was actually sleeping in the back of the van," Botsch said.
The 19-year-old suspect was taken back to Fond du Lac, where police said he admitted taking the van.
While in West Allis, the unnamed off-duty officer is being praised for good police work and a keen eye.
"Excellent observation skills on the part of our off-duty officer," Botsch said.
The suspect is being held in Fond du Lac facing charges of operating a vehicle without the owners consent and bail jumping.
West Allis police said they still don't know what connection that suspect has to the city.

Apple has released a third WWDC 2006 video to Apple Developer Connection Online members through the "ADC on iTunes" service.
The first one is the "Mac OS X State of the Union," released on January 23. This session covers many of the technologies that are new in Leopard in more detail than Steve Jobs did during his WWDC keynote. It doesn't contain any previously unpublished information, but it sports a nice demo that shows how World of Warcraft framerates more than double and surpass those of Windows XP when the new OpenGL multi-threading is enabled.
The second one is the "IT State of the Union" session, released on January 31, and explains exactly why Macs are so great in education, research, and small business.
The latest one is "Taking Advantage of Leopard Features in Cocoa" and explains, in some detail, how to modify your applications to compile them to 64-bit executables, how to handle Uniform Type Identifiers, and what to do about resolution independence. Unlike the first two sessions, this one is all about the code. If the question of whether integers will be 32 or 64 bits wide under Leopard keeps you up at night, or you're dying to know about the correct way to convert between coordinate spaces that may or may not be scaled, this download has your name on it. If you have no idea what all of this means, or don't care, this one is not for you.
We here at Infinite Loop wouldn't dream of publishing the answers to the above questions, as the developer NDA also applies to ADC Online—even though anyone who owns an e-mail address and can keep a secret can sign up for free. Once you're on ADC, go to ADC on iTunes and you can download the videos with the accompanying slides through iTunes.

Pristine may surprise you with their creative solutions for increasing the size of your house.

Converting your garage makes sense – Contact Pristine Milton for a FREE quote
When converting a garage there are a number of important considerations. Firstly, you need to consider planning permission. This can be a very complicated procedure which requires experience in building, legal and design services. Secondly, there are considerations in terms of the foundations of the building, and the materials employed. These are difficult structural considerations and they require systematic planning if the building is to be sound. Thirdly, you need to look at the overall design and how well it fits with the layout, and appearance, of the house. For all of these reasons, and many more, you need to consult a firm such as Pristine when planning your conversion.

Pristine have a range of designs to balance features such as light, space and security. Finally, you need to decide the timescale for building. Pristine can advise you on various timescales to make sure that the sunroom is built on the date you require it.
Small building works
When considering a firm to conduct small works there are a number of important considerations. Firstly, you require a firm that will be able to complete the work within a limited and agreed timescale. By their nature, small works are minor projects which require completion in a short time frame. Pristine can agree with you a workable time scale for your small works, which will not inconvenience you, or your household. Secondly, quality and the appearance of the small work is important. Whether it is a minor wall, or alteration, Pristine will make sure that the appearance not just matches, but enhances, the appearance of your home.

I will try to catch up with this while it is still available on iplayer.
Ken Ham would call Kelvin a 'compromiser' if he was alive and held identical views today.
And Coppedge's claims in green are rather dubious. Though he does state "Evolutionists assume Kelvin's arguments have been dismissed, but what do they do with the even more powerful evidence creationists offer today? They ignore it!" Once they have heard this 'evidence' the first time, yes they ignore it because it is religion not science.

Citrix Systems staked its future on virtualization when it shelled out $500m to buy XenSource in August 2007. And while it's arguable that virtualization on servers and desktops has not played out as expected, mashing up system virtualization technologies with existing application virtualization tools to create new products - as confusing as it may be to talk about - seems to be getting traction among Citrix shops.
In the fourth quarter, Citrix said that desktop virtualization has started to go mainstream and its numbers are begging to reflect this fact. The numbers coming out of Citrix also reflect that the fourth quarter of 2009 was a whole lot healthier for just about all IT vendors than the prior year's end, which was just awful.
In the quarter ended in December, Citrix brought in $451.1m in revenues, up 8.5 per cent. Product license revenues rose a tiny bit - a key metric for assessing the comfort level of IT shops when it comes to spending for new projects - up 3.7 per cent, to $168.3m. Software license updates to existing customers accounted for $156.4m in sales, an increase of 6.5 per cent over the year-ago quarter.
Online services, including the GoToMeeting family of products, grew smartly, up 18 per cent to just under $82m, and technical services (training, professional services, and so forth) brought in $44.5m, up 19.8 per cent. While Citrix kept its research, development, and general expenses under tight control, sales and marketing costs were up by $15.3m and the company also booked $3.6m in restructuring charges. But revenue growth and a timely $6.95m income tax reversal with Uncle Sam allowed Citrix to boost net income in the quarter to $88.1m, an increase of 46.7 per cent.
For the full year, Citrix booked sales of $1.61bn, up 1.9 percent, and net income was $191m, up 7.1 per cent. Citrix ended the year with $619m in deferred revenues (up $63m) and $1.21bn in cash and equivalents. The company could be interested in making acquisitions and, with a $7.7bn market capitalization, might be an attractive takeover target for someone with deep pockets and an interest in desktop and server virtualization.
Oracle and IBM are the obvious choices, and a case could be made for Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft buying Citrix, despite the relatively high price the company would command. A merger between Citrix and Novell would probably be the best thing to happen to Novell since it acquired SUSE Linux in 2003. It is not clear if this would be a good thing for Citrix.
With the mishing and mashing of Citrix and XenSource products that has occurred throughout the past two years, it is impossible to extract the sales of Xen-based products from sales of other products originally created by Citrix. In a conference call with Wall Street analysts, David Henshall, chief financial officer at Citrix, said that application and desktop virtualization product sales were up 5 per cent, to $290m, in the fourth quarter of 2009.
XenDesktop, the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) tool that streams virtualized PC images out of central servers, had $26m in license sales in the quarter, with $30m in total revenues. A trade-up promotion on XenDesktop4, which came out last October, helped add $20m to deferred revenue in the quarter as well, according to Henshall. Citrix had five deals for XenDesktop that had at least 10,000 seats, and Henshall said that during the quarter, Citrix sold "hundreds of thousands" of new licenses to XenDesktop 4 and closed deals at more than 1,000 new customers.
The company also had more than 20,000 downloads of the evaluation version of XenDesktop. Citrix had seven deals for XenDesktop that were worth more than $1m a pop. XenDesktop Platinum Edition, which includes the XenApp application streaming middleware (formerly known as Presentation Server), accounted for 60 per cent of the XenDesktop mix, and XenDesktop Enterprise edition (which has all the bells and whistles, including some desktop virtualization on the client side), accounted for 35 per cent. XenApp Platinum Edition, which has some virtualization technologies embedded in it, was 40 per cent of the XenApp mix.
Basically, Citrix is merging the products, and we can't really tell who is buying what any more. "We will continue to call out certain metrics for the standalone products within this category," Henshall explained, "but they are clearly becoming less relevant as customers begin to acquire the full desktop virtualization that incorporates both of these capabilities."
A few quarters ago, Citrix jammed the XenServer hypervisor and related Essentials management tools for server virtualization into the same category as its NetScaler network caching appliances, so it is very tough to see how the XenServer and Essentials tools are doing too. Henshall said that the Application Networking and Server Virtualization group at Citrix had $70m in sales in Q4, up 18 per cent from the year-ago quarter.
He added that there were over 20,000 production activations for XenServer in the fourth quarter and that downloads of the evaluation versions of the XenServer and the Essentials add-ons "are running at record rates." Citrix estimates that XenServer captured about 10 per cent of virtualized new server sales in 2009m with XenServer in production at more than 40,000 companies worldwide. The largest company, according to Mark Templeton, chief executive officer at Citrix, has more than 20,000 machines running XenServer.
Citrix is not focused on selling XenServer explicitly, as it was when it first acquired XenSource to make a run at VMware, the leader in both server and desktop virtualization at the time (and probably still today). But it is, says Templeton, adamant about leveraging XenServer technology in as many ways as possible.
"The importance of XenServer to us is as the underlying platform not only to offer customers a server virtualization solution, but as the platform to run and virtualize XenApp as it underlies desktops in the full stack and as it underlies NetScaler VPX," explained Templeton. "We also leverage a lot of the technology in the XenClient project that you will see more of later this quarter."
XenClient, which is being co-developed with Intel, is a bare-metal hypervisor for Intel-based PCs that is being beta tested at 50 customers now and really should get to market pronto. The thing Citrix wants people to consider now is that XenServer is a foundation technology that gets monetized with the Essentials tools on servers as well as on XenDesktop, XenApp, and NetScaler.
The main thing is that XenApp, the flagship product at Citrix, has 15 million current licenses and about 10 million that have lapsed off subscriptions, and Citrix wants to throw in everything, including the kitchen sink and the one in the basement, to get those seats upgraded to a more modern set of virtualized middleware for supporting applications and PCs. Citrix has about 3,000 XenDesktop customers to date, with a third of them coming during the fourth quarter alone.
Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2010, Citrix says it expects sales to be in the range of $405m to $410m, with earnings per share coming in at between 23 and 25 cents. In the first quarter of 2009, which was arguably the bottom of the economic meltdown, Citrix had sales of $369.1m and earnings per share of 4 cents.
Despite its cautious outlook, Citrix is courageous enough (unlike most IT vendors) to make predictions for the full 2010 year. The company has a fairly tight range for expected sales, of between $1.74bn and $1.76bn, and says it can bring $1.33 to $1.34 per share to the bottom line. That represents 8.4 per cent revenue growth over 2009's level at the midpoint of expectations, and something like 30 per cent growth in EPS. That's not too shabby. ®

In keeping with the federal government's ongoing effort to cast state militias in a sinister light, ABC has given the go-ahead to Hollywood darlings Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Dan McDermott to produce a "drama" demonizing a fictional Texas militia.
"The network has bought drama pitch Founding Fathers, from Di Bonaventura Pictures TV and ABC Studios. Written by feature scribe Rich D'Ovidio, Founding Fathers is described as 'Donnie Brasco set in the world of Texas militias,'" Nellie Andreeva writes for Deadline Hollywood. "It centers on Nick Keating who, after serving a third tour in Afghanistan, returns home to find his small Texas town under the control of a militia group led by his older foster brother. After being seduced by the militia's surprisingly community-based motives, he accepts a rare invitation to join the group. But unbeknownst to his new 'family,' Nick has a secret agenda that will put his life in jeopardy and lead him to question his allegiances."
Donnie Brasco is a crime film based on the true story of Joseph D. Pistone, a FBI undercover agent who infiltrated the Bonanno crime family in New York City in the 1970s.
In the fantasy world of Hollywood's liberal intelligentsia, state militias are a criminal threat requiring FBI undercover work. It looks like the lead scribe on the project, Rich D'Ovidio, consulted the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center when he wrote the script.
Realism is not Hollywood's forte, but if it were the Donnie Brasco character, Nick Keating, would be a FBI agent provocateur choreographing dim-witted patsies into plotting lame terror plots busted in the eleventh hour and exploited by the FBI and the government to push a flaccid domestic terror propaganda narrative.
It looks like Founding Fathers will be another schlocky corporate media cheap shot along the lines of Rachel Maddow's The McVeigh Tapes: Confessions of an American Terrorist based on the alleged confession of the government agent McVeigh, one of America's most notorious patsies.
Founding Fathers is not about drama or primetime entertainment. It is about continuing and amplifying the government's domestic terror narrative focused on its most politically dangerous opponent – the patriot movement now characterized as "rightwing extremism" by the Department of Homeland Security.
