Computergiant necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 488 diseños de 97 diseñadores freelance.
ComputerGiant Consulting, Inc. (The Inc. Can be Omitted)
I am a Web Designer, Search Engine Optimization expert, IT Consultant (servers, networking, printers, etc.) and all around IT Guru. I am also 6'5" tall but slender/athletic, hence the name ComputerGiant. I project confidence to my clientele and want the logo to reflect both professionalism and capability so they know they are making the right choice.
I am also have a fun and laid back attitude. If people want to work with me and go with the best, then great! If not it's their loss and I don't hold a grudge against them, 'cause I know they'll eventually come back around when the other guy can't get the job done.
Essentially I have enough computer experience that the shadow of my knowledge can cover everything a business needs. While I know even the smallest details of technology and can speak the jargon day and night with the best of them, I do not do this to clients. I phrase the information in ways people can understand without having 10 years of IT experience. I am also a businessman who has run numerous businesses and knows how to grow them successfully.
My target clientele are small to mid-sized businesses. I always work directly with the owner of firms and have been a Chief Technology Office (CTO) twice. So the audience is usually a business owner who has the power to hire me on the spot.
I need the logo to be professional because I charge a lot of money and the image I project cannot be taken as second rate. It is very difficult to gain new clients because no one wants to pay the price I charge.
I am willing to see some giant images in the logo as long as it is done tastefully (no overly cartoon-ish images please).
I like Green and Orange as a color scheme, but really don't care about the colors as long as it looks fantastic! I did go to Virginia Tech so Maroon and Orange are also good colors for me. Ultimately you will decide what looks best.
I promise to give feedback within the hour on any designs I receive (except when I'm sleeping, usually 11pm-8am EST).
Thank you!!

The British electronic band DEPECHE MODE released their fourteenth studio album "Spirit", released on 17 March 2017 by Columbia Records. It is the band's second album released under Columbia and was produced by James Ford. On 11 October 2016, the band announced on its website that it would embark on the Global Spirit Tour to support the album. The Summer 2017 European stadium tour will begin in Stockholm on 5 May 2017 and end in AB Rogers Place, Edmonton on 28 October, see all dates below.
The band that formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals, main songwriter since 1982), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards, bass guitar). DEPECHE MODE released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar, main songwriter from 1980 to 1981), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. DEPECHE MODE have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left.
Today's tune "Where's the Revolution" is a song taken from "Spirit". It was released as the album's first single on 3 February 2017, on the 20th anniversary of "Barrel of a Gun". The cover art is made by Anton Corbijn. Single was premiered on the Polish radio Trójka - Polskie Radio Program III at midnight on 3 February. Enjoy!

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
From DocWiki
Plixer International, Inc., a leading provider of NetFlow-based network traffic reporting, has released support for Cisco Performance Routing metrics which are exported with Flexible NetFlow. Performance Routing (PfR) was developed to assist in optimizing time sensitive traffic through the network.
"We are excited to be one of the first network traffic monitoring companies to support PfR. Its unique exports required our Flexible NetFlow collector to take a new approach to reporting on the data in the templates." said Michael Patterson - Product Manager and Co-Founder. "Customers looking to gain insight on the collective performance of WAN links are going to appreciate the new metrics related to MOS, Latency, Jitter and Packet Loss."
PfR is one subset in a set of utilities included in the Cisco Application Control and Visibility (AVC) architecture which includes:
- The Flexible NetFlow (FnF) export of Network-Based Application Recognition(NBAR) which accurately identifies applications which could be using the same port (e.g TCP port 80). NBAR can determine what applications (e.g. Skype, Webex, VoIP, BitTorrent) are running on your network and how much bandwidth they are consuming.
- Prioritization of traffic into the best traffic class for preferential treatment as it passes through each switch and router along the path. For example, VoIP can be given a higher priority over Skype.
- The configuration of PfR to ensure that highest priority traffic (e.g. VoIP and Video) uses the best path or route to the destination and that lower priority traffic such as searching on Google is rerouted when necessary to free up bandwidth.
For employees, PfR helps ensure a better application experience – video streaming quality up, ability to work more efficiently in a virtual desktop session, and no more VoIP crackling during conference calls. For network administrators, PfR saves bandwidth by not letting the network get swallowed up by non-work applications such as P2P, Skype or web site browsing. This improved end user experience results in less support calls.
"With the explosion of handheld network devices and social networking, the network traffic is constantly increasing. Enterprises are demanding high availability and a performance guarantee for their business-critical applications. Plixer's Flexible Netflow-based reporting on the PfR performance measurements allows our customers insight into the performance of their business critical applications, link loads, and brownouts in the network," said Pritam Shah - Manager Software Development: Medianet Video Monitoring & PfR "
Scrutinizer is a one hundred percent web-based tool that provides detailed network utilization reports showing the applications and users generating network traffic. Leveraging the software's domain utilization report, even sites with secured connections that use encrypted traffic can't hide from the insight provided by NetFlow and IPFIX collection and reporting. Scrutinizer is designed to peer deep into bandwidth traffic and enable the network administrator to easily see who is consuming bandwidth, what they are using it for and -- immediately restore precious bandwidth for work-related needs.

Nashville, TN - The Lipscomb softball dropped their final game of the War Eagle classic in a 6-1 decision to host team Auburn University Sunday afternoon.
Sophomore designated player Kellie Sirus would pick up the lone run for the Lady Bisons when she sent a double to left field and would score off sophomore third baseman Christen Campbell's single up the middle one batter latter.
The Lady Bisons played well, notching six hits, including two from freshman second baseman Megan Rottler, but were overcome by Auburn's pitching. Tiger senior Brittney Day struck out 11 Lady Bisons.
The Tigers would pull out the win with two well-placed home runs with runners on base.
Tiger catcher Tatiana Fernandez would hit a two run shot over the right field in the top of the first inning, and third baseman Starr Dorsey would do the same in the top of the fourth.
"Over all it was a pretty good weekend for us. I think Auburn and Tennessee Tech are teams that are good enough to win if you don't do what you need to do to win," said head coach Kristin Peck. "We did that against Bowling Green and Georgia Southern and we definitely feel good about picking up wins against those two teams."
"We have grown a lot as a team and are looking forward to opening conference play next weekend."
The Lady Bisons drop to 7-10 on the season and travel to Jacksonville, Florida next weekend to open up conference play with double headers against North Florida on Friday, March 13, and Jacksonville University on Saturday, March 15.

Thank you for contacting us. We will get back to you shortly.

After working with hundreds of companies, including some of the largest social gaming firms, we've identified the top 10 essential tips to maximize your game's success. So while you are brainstorming for the next big hit, keep these in mind.
10. Know your competition
Do your research. See what's out there. It's likely that your first few ideas, or something similar, have already been done. But, there is always room for a new twist. What's important is how you differentiate your game from the rest. That is what will make it succeed.
9. Identify and set your goals
Whether you're going for profit or for number of users, have numbers in mind to help you establish a timeline for your game's success.
8. Pick a monetization strategy
With a monetization strategy in place you can calculate the usage required to achieve success. You will be able to maximize the return and meet the goals you have set for your game.
7. Marketability
Create a strategy and tactical plan that you can implement to promote your game and attract as many players as possible. Your plan needs to include advertising, news mentions, and a presence on one or more social networks since that is where your audience will be found. So make sure you get the word out and make your game "The Game" that users want to play.
6. Blazing speed
Your game has to have phenomenal performance and no latency. The fastest way to lose players is with a game that takes five minutes to load or freezes in the middle of an exciting moment.
5. Inviting look and feel
The game experience should be even better than described in components of your promotion plan. Keep text to a minimum. Players won't read it because they want to play the game, not read a novel.
4. Achieve success on one platform and then, expand to others
Although you want to reach as many potential players as possible, the most successful games focus on one platform to start and then expand to others. By getting the kinks out of game logistics on one platform you will be able handle issues cost-effectively. Your focus will create a great game experience and you'll be able to grow a loyal, rabid fan base. Expanding to additional platforms and devices should be your end goal.
3. Provide great player rewards
Your game has to be rewarding in some way. Rewards can be emotional, social, or financial. The rewards have to compel gamers to keep playing. Be sure to monitor key metrics including duration and frequency of play. Understanding these metrics will help you keep engagement and retention rates high.
2. Cultivate all players
Successful games welcome new players as well as nurture existing players. Social media platforms should play a large role in player cultivation. The most successful games have consistent player engagement both in the game and in discussions about the game.
And the number one success tip…
1. Keep the space between your ears open
After you release your game, listen to the feedback from players. Not only will you get some great ideas for enhancements, but you'll grow player loyalty.

Realtor View: Open house ideal opportunity to attract potential buyers
Most open houses are held to attract potential buyers. However, when your home is open to the public, anyone can stop by for a peek - even casual observers looking for decorating ideas. Your Realtor can help you decide if an open house is right for you and can walk you through the process. In the meantime, here are a few things to keep in mind when making your decision.
Why hold an open house?
An open house is an opportunity for you to market your home directly to potential buyers. Visitors can take their time walking from room to room and ask questions about the home's features. This allows buyers to see the inside of the home in a way you can't get from flipping through photos online. Hosting an open house is a good opportunity for you to receive honest feedback about your home. You can count on at least a few of the attendees to offer candid comments about what they do and don't like. Your Realtor can collect this information during the open house and share it with you afterward. You may decide to make minor improvements or highlight certain amenities based on visitors' input.
Isn't it a lot of work?
It's very easy to host an open house, as long as you do the prep work ahead of time. Your Realtor will recommend a day and time that is best to host the event. Most open houses are held for a few hours on weekend afternoons, but he or she may suggest hosting one mid-week so buyers can observe the area's school or rush-hour traffic patterns.
Get the word out
Holding an open house requires more marketing than putting a sign in the front yard. Your Realtor's marketing plan may include advertising the open house in the classified section of the newspaper, on his or her website or other online media, and directional signage in the neighborhood.
Ready, set, show
It's important to help your home look its best before holding an open house. It requires just a few steps.
Create curb appeal - The more appealing a property looks from the outside, the greater chance a potential buyer will choose to drop in.
Clean the house - First, put away anything that will distract buyers from the property, such as personal photos and other knick knacks. Second, scrub the house from top to bottom. Nothing is less appealing than a dirty home.
Freshen it up - A little paint goes a long way to brighten a room. If you do paint, choose neutral colors. They are much more appealing to buyers.
Eliminate the odors - Pets and cigarettes are the big ones. To alleviate the smells, deodorize upholstery and carpets.
Perform minor repairs - If you can fix it easily, do it. Check for squeaky doors, leaky faucets, faulty lights, etc. If you have repairs that require more work, talk to your Realtor to determine if the repair is worth the cost. Keep yourself and your belongings safe - Secure your valuables, prescription medications, and personal items before the open house.
Work with a professional
Don't be surprised if your Realtor recommends you be out of the house during the open house. While it may be tempting to stay, some buyers feel uncomfortable with you there while they open bedroom closets and kitchen drawers. Your Realtor will work on your behalf to field the questions and point out the home's assets.
Talk to your Realtor to determine whether an open house should be part of his or her plan to market your home. In the meantime, visit TexasRealEstate.com and HAR.com for more information about real estate.

Nusa Lembongan
Nusa Lembongan is an island off the southeast coast of the main island of Bali.
Fast becoming one of Bali's most popular attractions this island paradise is a world away from the pollution, hassles and hectic pace of Bali. There are no hawkers, no traffic, magnificent scenery and is the perfect place to put your feet up and relax. Popular with families weary of travel warnings this island is a safe little spot to enjoy that perfect Bali Holiday. Main activities include surfing, diving and snorkeling. Some tourists may find the island a little too slow after the pace of Bali.
The water is some of the clearest you can find and aqua blue in colour; good for diving and snorkeling. Surfing is crowded but nice waves. Nice coral sand beach. Learn about the cosmetic seaweed farming industry.
There are two main beaches. Jungutbatu (Sunset Coast) in the north is the bigger of the two with a myriad of hotels, one resort with beachfront pool, restaurants and cheap eateries, and traditionally used to attract the backpackers, families and surfers. Now with the development of the Bukit this area is fast becoming the main attraction and provides some of the best accomodation on the island. The views from the accomodation on the Bukit are second to none on Nusa Lembongan and probably Bali but the sunsets are best viewed along the beachfront.
Mushroom Bay to the Southwest of Jungutbatu was traditionally the main tourist area however in recent years has become a little overrun by the day tripping business. It is still a very nice spot after 3pm when the day trippers have gone home and it has a great white sandy beach along with some cosy little restuarants that line the beach.
Get in
From the Kuta area: Take a taxi to the Sanur beach near the Grand Bali Beach Hotel.
Other ferry options
If you have limited time a good option is to take a one day cruise: on a twin-hull boat under sail you'll reach the island within 1.5 hours (drinks and snacks are available on board). On the island you can take part in a mangrove forest trip, snorkeling, banana boat ride, glass bottom boat ride, sea-kayaking. A lunch and swimming-pool are also available. The approximate price is $60 USD.
Get around
This is a nice place to walk. A rocky coastal paths links nearly all the guest houses and hotels. Most trips will take you less than two hours. Bicycles can be rented at most places, and the mainly flat roads are quite well surfaced. Motorbikes are also available but may be unnecessary given the short distances involved. You can cross to the small island of Ceningan via a scenic suspension bridge.

GOP's Zellers Vows Common Touch in Governor Race
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Former Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Zellers is joining the race for governor, saying he would bring a middle-class family man's sensibility to the job.
Zellers held his campaign's kickoff event Sunday in his hometown of Maple Grove. He becomes the third Republican campaigning to challenge Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton next year.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Zellers described himself as "every Minnesotan." He talked about getting laid off and struggling to pay household bills. He said he'll bring that perspective to preparing state budgets that go easier on taxpayers.
Businessman Scott Honour and Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson are also running. That list is expected to grow.
Like Honour, Zellers plans to run in the GOP primary for the seat even if he doesn't get the party endorsement.

Ralph Daniel: I find it highly unlikely the "Chips Ahoy" cartoon short screened with "Altered States." Ask yourself: Does it seem plausible Disney would authorize one of their G-rated cartoon shorts, with no thematic similarities, and in a different aspect ratio, to be screened with an R-rated movie from a rival studio? The only 70mm screenings of "Chips Ahoy" I'm aware of screened with "The Black Cauldron" in 1985. And "The Black Cauldron" played Town & Country, the same theater in which you're recalling seeing "Altered States," so if you saw "Cauldron" there, too, then I'd say you're simply conflating the two moviegoing experiences. On the other hand, if you did not see "The Black Cauldron" there, then maybe it's a different cartoon short that played with "Altered States" (the sci-fi themed "Duck Dodgers in the 24 ½ Century," maybe?).
I saw "Altered States" there in 1981, projected in 70mm. The projection booth door was right beside the left entrance, and the projectionist left his door open for people to see the equipment. I struck up a conversation and was allowed to be inside for picture start-up. A Disney cartoon "Chips Ahoy" preceded the feature. It had been blown-up to 70mm so that no projector change-over was needed. This experience was truly an example of someone who was proud of his work.

Saw Krakato East of Java there and Herbie The Love Bug for 8 straight weeks .My father was the projectionist there Tom Taylor when I was young and mom was fed up with me i was sent to work with my Dad and yes Herbie played for 8 straight weeks not a fun summer but the memories will never go
boxcop… At the time of the "Superman" engagement, the Dome Complex and the Town & Country were in competition with each other. The Domes were run by Syufy and the Town & Country was run by Mann. Syufy's (aka Century) ownership of the Town & Country came years later. See my Still Believing A Man Can Fly article for a reference to Town & Country being a Mann operation in 1978/79 (and for a list of where else "Superman" played when it was new).
I saw Die Hard, Top Gun and Superman here…. It had the best presentation back in the day, before AMC bought it and ruined its reputation. On the issue of the 21, 22 and 23 theaters closing across the street- With some serious funding from some serious supporters, the Century 21 could become a class act entertainment destination in the heart of the Silicon Valley once again. With some minor changes to the exterior, lobby and auditorium and a few major changes to the projection booth and screen, this theatre has the potential to be a first-run, 3D digital movie theatre, a one-of-a-kind single-screen IMAX venue and even a Cinerama-capable auditorium (as it was originally constructed to be) all in one. Just see what Paul Allen did for Seattle's Cinerama Theatre and what the Pacific Theatre chain did for the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. The developers even built around that one and both sides won. The issue here is that we have wealthy corporate executives and we have dedicated, film-lovers who appreciate what these screens were in the past, what they are today and what they could be in the future. The problem that we face is that we do not have both qualities in the same person who is willing to swoop down and save the day, like Superman did for me in 1978 (another classic film I watched at these domes – technically across the street at Town & Country, which was still considered to be a part of the old "Block" Century Theatres complex).
I WORKED WITH BILL TANNEHILL THERE TRAINING TO OPEN mANN'S FASHION ISLAND 6 IN FOSTER CITY AND I REMEMBER WHEN SCRAPPY MOVED TO THE FOX T AND C WHEN THEY SOLD THE SAN MATEO BEVERLY ALSO TRANSFERED THERE AND SLEPT IN THE JANITORS CLOSET.
FOX TOWN AND COUNTRY THEATRE was originally owned by National General Theatres.It was sold to CENTURY THEATRES in the early 70's when Mann took over and sold or closed all the Bay Area theatres under the FOX/NATIONAL GENERAL banner.
My fondest memory of this theatre is I saw "Die Hard" there shortly after I had moved to Santa Clara.
Not only did the movie blow me away, but the presentation at the Town and Country ranked among the best I had ever seen, to the point I had to inform the theatre management what a great theatre it was.
It makes me sad to even drive by the CinéArts @ Santana Row that now occupies the location.
I worked at the T&C for a few years in the 80's. I remember both Top Gun and The Natural each played there for seven months. Do any theaters keep a movie for more than two weeks?
Anyway, it had a fantastic curved 'ribbon screen'. Instead of a single curved piece of material, it was a series of hundreds of 1.5" ribbons that slightly overlapped in a curve. The depth in that screen was amazing. I saw Out of Africa there and went to see it again at another theater (why I would see that again, I can't remember) and it looked so flat! However, if the A/C blew too hard, it caused the ribbons to shift and it looked as if there were scratches in the film.
T&C had these amazing Norelco projectors. The most forgiving and quiet projector ever. They ran reel-to-reel until Century Theatres took over. However, they left the second projector up—so we actually had a backup projector!
When AMC came in they put in this small screen that they hyped as "the largest Torus compound screen west of the Mississippi." (Whatever that was.) It looked like crap. Across the street were two 40 x 80 screens and there answer was to put in a 20 x 40 in the same space? When Mann and Century showed films in Scope, the picture practically went ceiling to floor and wall to wall. Look at that picture at the top, it's practically a quarter of what T&C had before AMC.
Also, AMC had no idea how to run a single-screen. It was total culture shock for them. It was a slow, sad decline for such a great theatre.
The Town and Country Cinema in Sunnyvale opened in the 1920s as the Strand. It was later called the Sunnyvale, then Town and Country. It still stands, with a few historical details evident on its exterior, and is now a restaurant and nightclub.
There was a Town and Country Cinema in Sunnyvale on Murphy Ave which showed second-run fare until 1975, when it showed hard porn until closing. Does anybody have more info on that theater?
Hi Folks:
I believe that United Artists operated this theatre prior to AMC taking over in the mid 1990's.
It was owned by a number of companies. I believe it opened as the Fox Town and Country under Mann Theatres, and consisted of yellow seats, yellow carpeting and yellow interior lighting.
It later briefly became the Century Town and Country when Syufy owned it, and finally AMC Town and Country at the time of its closing. I possess the two large FOX signs from its earlier days.
I saw the first screening when AMC took over ("North By Northwest" for the press), and the final screening the night before it closed. And I got in and took some pictures and footage the day after it closed. (They were already removing the seats and the concessions stand had been demolished.)
It was one of the last three big screens in San Jose. The others remain across the street at Century 21 and 22.
Ironically, the last movie which ran there was "Romeo Must Die", starring Jet Li.
This was a fine, first-run theater which was lost in the destruction of the rustic Town & Country Center to make way for the ashes of Santana Row's spectacular fire on August 19, 2002. I went there many times, often going to one of the many restaurants nearby.
Thankfully, the 1960s suburban ambience of the T & C Shopping Center (R.I.P.) still survives in its twin shopping center in Palo Alto on Embarcadero and El Camino Real near Stanford University. In Palo Alto, things never seem to change…
From the ashes…. Syufy, owners of the Century chain of theaters, is slated to open a multiplex in the new complex, named Santana Row. These theaters will compete with the Camera Cinemas in showing foreign and independent releases.
Only known Cinerama film screened was KRAKATOA-EAST OF JAVA from 1 August 1969
In 2001, the entire Town and Country Village Shopping Center, which included this theatre, was demolished for a new development.

I've been following your blog for a few months, clicking links to older posts randomly. I have been enjoying it all, and thinking about signing up for a course with you here in town.
What I like best about this one, is how you 'salvaged' the seam in the blue patterned fabric. When I saw the first picture I thought "I'd never piece that without matching the pattern." But in the final project it is covered by the applique and not noticeable at all. It looks wonderful. And because it goes together quickly, I might just take that idea and make each of the four grandchild little cuddle blankets with their age on them. Cute.

This week, they most likely will not have Clyde Gates (concussion), and Jeremy Kerley (hamstring, heel) and Chaz Schilens (concussion) have missed practice time this week. That led coach Rex Ryan to call on rookie Stephen Hill to pick up the slack.It's showtime for Hill. He's going to have less competition to make catches today and Mark Sanchez is playing for his viability as an NFL quarterback down the stretch. This would be a good time for both players to show what they are capable of.
"He's basically just saying, 'Go out there and get the job done,'" Hill said. "That's been my motto the whole year. I haven't gotten certain things done, but definitely this is the week for me to come out and get the job done."
"I don't think Stephen would tell you that he's to the point that we'd like him to be," offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said. "This guy, he has a ton of arrow-up upside. He's got all the athletic ability and he's got a tremendous work ethic and he's a smart kid, so those are all qualities that help you grow in our business. But I think Stephen would tell you the same thing. He has room to improve right now, certainly."I liked the Hill draft pick and I still do, but the Jets are going to have to find a way to get him more involved in the offense in a way that fits Hill's skillset best.
A raw player like Stephen Hill is best used as a flyer and that's a skillset wholly unsuited to a quarterback like Mark Sanchez. Hill needs someone who can rifle the ball to him and let's be frank - that quarterback will never be Mark Sanchez. I'm not pleased with the progress from the rookie either, but at the same time Mark Sanchez might not be the best guy to work with a player of Hill's skillset - as we saw to great terribleness in the first matchup against the Patriots. This pass actually was one of the top five worst passes of the year according to Barnwell at Grantland.

I love the L-screen.
It makes me feel years younger. I am always on the lookout for ways to feel younger these days. I have a bad case of Old Jock Syndrome.
The L-screen is a simple concept: It's netting on an aluminum frame shaped like a fat "L." It has revolutionized batting practice in baseball.

10 Weeknight Meals with Fresh Fish
Somehow, I always forget about fish when it comes to quick weeknight dinners. But fish — along with shrimp, mussels, and most other seafood — is practically tailor-made for speedy, healthy meals. Baked in the oven, fish fillets can be ready for the table in under 20 minutes. Broiler recipes, like our Simple Salmon Teriyaki, are even quicker! Here are 10 recipes with fresh fish and seafood that we think deserve to be part of the weekly meal rotation.
With the fish so easy to prepare, that leaves us with a little extra time and energy to make something flavorful to go with it, like the chimichurri sauce for our baked halibut or some couscous with cilantro vinaigrette to serve alongside baked salmon. This said, there's nothing wrong with a simple squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of pepper!
Is fish already on your weekly meal plan? What recipes are you loving right now?

That was an excellent chapter Kaijo. The way everything seemed to be going right for our heroes, only to come around against them in the end was superb writing. And more combat would be delicious.
Otto and Arf really stole the spotlight for me. And nice job with the bomb, I wasn't expecting that little twist and it worked out really well.
And I can't wait to see more of the baddies' motives. =3
Well done comrade. I'm looking forward to the continuation.

Also I guess Lina has to travel to that mazoku's staff, as she doesn't have a reputation there.
Now to see if Rio can survive.
This green gas or the place itself, kind of omnious... makes one wonder wha could be on that place, a piece of Chaotic Blue or the Azure Dragon's soul, perhaps?
On a random note, I disegree with your choice of name for this arc, as Revolution is also one of Slayers arc's name.

Belated response to the latest chapter of Swords and Shields!
(Leave me alone. Between my parents moving in with me, and this new job, I really don't have the same kind of free time or energy anymore.)
I imagine you can learn a lot from a civilization based on how they educated their children.
Seriously, Yuuno never displays anything resembling enthusiasm or joy in regards to anything one might consider a passion or hobby or calling. We never see his eyes light up for anything, not even the Library -- which gets a "isn't that nice?" response at most.
It's one of various reasons why his detractors accuse him of being bland and boring.
Yuuno doesn't once seem to think about his previous romantic (sexual?) relationship with Nanoha as a possible reason for Nanoha to get jealous.
On that note, ANY attempt to look into what the Belkan Empire was like, and give ANY thought to its pre-instellar (and even pre-global!) eras, is really admirable.
Even if there were other classes to rival it, they would not be Cradles, because they would not be the flagships of surplus Kaisers.
Is this true of your Leave of Absence story's background, as well? It would cast in a new light Nanoha's amused reaction about the pregnancy rumor regarding Yuuno and Hayate.
If Yuuno had been capable of the kind of passion he's showing Signum, would he and Nanoha have fallen out of love? Wouldn't there have been SOME bridge between their different areas of enthusiasm?
This whole thing started because Yuuno was willing to give Signum the challenge she desired. Yuuno and Nanoha have sparred in the past, and Nanoha's fights with Signum can get damn messy.
Would Yuuno have never tried to give Nanoha the same "Zenryoku Zenkai" attitude in their own fights? Not so much trying to dominate her as to challenge her to new heights of "giving your all"?
Oh, and...

Hello all. I am new here to the forum but I have read many of your stories over the years. I even have one of my own that I think some of you might have read. MGLN origins that is going into the back story of Hayate and her knights more. Its more of an AU with Vivid and Force now out.
Had a little plot bunny stuck in my head for a while.
No, no, no........ This can't be. Shamal stared at the screen horrified by what she saw. She had given the young girl the forwards picked up along with a relic while enjoying a day off a clean bill of health when she decided to search the database for the child's mother. Mid-Childa being the advanced society that it was had a secure data base for storing DNA identification for health and law enforcement purposes and Shamal was certain the young girl had a relative out there somewhere. What she found struck much closer to home than she ever thought possible.
"Klare wind run the scans again," Shamal said as she triple checked her results with a growing sense of dread. The results still hadn't changed as a partial match for the girls mother flashed on the screen. Dam it ......
"Mistress are still in the office," Shamal said telepathically.
"Hayate frowned as the short message floated through her mind. She had slowly weened her family away from calling her mistress over the years, but they still called her that when it was serious.
"Yes Shamal what is it," Hayate replied.
"Where are Fate and Nanoha," Shamal asked.
"They went home for the evening why," Hayate replied.
"Good," Shamal replied as she headed towards Hayate's office.
"Shamal what is going on, is Nanoha relapsing," Hayate asked worriedly over their link only to receive silence.
"Shamal what is going on," Hayate asked as a distraught Shamal hurried into her office sealing the door behind her with a soft green glow.
"Mistress Hayate," Shamal said in full knights armor layering more barriers around the office effectively sealing it in a temporary pocket dimension. "I have discovered who that girl's parents are."
"Shamal that's great, so what is with all the barriers," Hayate said with a smile. "Shamal what's wrong, is she the daughter of some one higher up in the bureau." Hayate asked as a diverse mixture of emotions were displayed on Shamal's face from disgust, horror, confusion, and fear.
"Do you remember how long Nanoha was in the hospital after her injury," Shamal asked.
Hayate fell back into her chair as if struck by Vita's hammer. "Almost a year, no, no, no, no. Shamal please tell me this is one of Vice's jokes." Hayate pleaded.
"I'm afraid not, Mistress. The girl currently sleeping in the infirmary is the daughter of the Aces, but there is more." Shamal said.
"Vita, Signum, Zafira, I don't care what you are doing now, go to the infirmary and stand guard over the child immediately. No one goes in or out except Shamal and myself am I clear." Hayate ordered over her mental link with her knights.
"Yes, Hayate, was the resolute if confused reply.
"Tell me everything," Hayate ordered.
"She is a clone mistress, she has a partial match for the DNA of Fate tesstarossa, Yuuno Scyra, and her mitochondrial DNA is a perfect match for Nanoha." Shamal replied.
"English, Shamal," Hayate asked struggling to keep her anger in check.
"Do you remember that movie Jurassic park we saw back on earth with the cloned dinosaurs." Shamal asked.
"Yes vaguely, didn't they have to fill in the empty spots with some other animals DNA," Hayate replied.
"Yes, and that is why the girl has some of Fate and Yuuno's DNA, and the egg the DNA was placed in was Nanoha's" Shamal replied.
"Why Nanoha, why Shamal," Hayate said slumping forward.
"She is one of the most powerful mages seen in modern times and the perfect vessel for the ultimate magical warrior." Shamal replied.
"Fuck," Hayate replied. "They couldn't have."
"Couldn't have what mistress," Shamal asked.
"The saint's shroud case. It was stolen shortly before Nanoha's injury. Some one is trying to recreate the Saint Kaiser." What am I going to tell them. How am I going to tell them....... Hayate thought as the sun set over Cragan.
"Nanoha, Fate" Yuuno called out as spotted his long time friends entering the headquarters of riot force 6.
"Yuuno," Nanoha exclaimed. "What are you doing here."
"A meeting with Hayate," Yuuno said. "You wouldn't happen to know why.
"Nope and I've got a meeting with her to," Nanoha replied as the moved through the building.
"I wonder what she wants us for," Fate added.
"Hayate what's going on," Nanoha asked surprised by the serious look on her friends face.
"Shamal seal the room," Hayate said encasing the room in layers of barriers and shields.
"Hayate," Fate said as the room was enveloped in a green glow.
Letting out a heavy sigh Hayate began. "I don't know any other way to say this but we have discovered the parents of the girl you rescued yesterday."
"That's great," Nanoha exclaimed.
"Hayate what's going on who are the girls parents," Fate asked.
The walking lost logia clammed up as she looked over at her closest friends. "I'm sorry.... I didn't know.... I should have let Vita guard you like she wanted.... I'm sorry....." Hayate broke down sobbing.
"Hayate, it's no big deal I'm completely recovered from that and I didn't even get a scratch yesterday." Nanoha said rushing to Hayate's side as Fate looked on confused.
Yuuno went rigid as his famed intelligence quickly pieced the facts together while another section of his mind began reviewing every spell he knew and how to apply it in battle. "Hayate.... who ordered it," Yuuno spoke his voice hard.
"Ordered what," Fate asked.
"I don't know," Hayate choked out.
"Yuuno, what's going on...." Fate asked shocked by the dark aura radiating off Yuuno.
"Nanoha's special treatment during recovery," Yuuno replied.
"Um... what does that have to do with anything.... I was just glad to get out of there when I did seriously 10 months was way to long especially after that relapse I had a month in......." Nanoha said pausing mid sentence.
"Hayate... it's not true is it.... please tell me it's not...." Nanoha said tears starting to leak from her eyes.
"It is.. the girl you rescued yesterday is your daughter, Nanoha....." Shamal said.
"Who is the father.. who is the bastard...." Fate and Yuuno said together.
"We don't know, but she is your's as well," Hayate said slowly regaining her composure.
Fate and Yuuno did a double take before asking how.
"We think she is a clone of the saint kaiser with parts of Fate's and Yuuno's DNA to replace the missing pieces while Nanoha's eggs and body were used to bring her to term.
"Fate and Yuuno were soon engulfed by Nanoha in a giant three way hug as tears of sadness continued to flow.
"Hayate who else knows," Fate asked.
"Shamal and myself for now," Hayate replied.
"Good keep it that way," Yuuno said.
"When can we see her," Nanoha asked.
"I'll have Signum and Vita bring her here," Hayate said sending a mental command to her two strongest knights.
"Thank you," Nanoha said.
"Nee Signum why do you think this little tyke is so important," Vita asked as they headed towards their masters office.
"She apparently was carrying a relic and took out several drones before you found her yesterday." Signum replied as the child stirred in her arms.
"Well lets hope she doesn't get any lessons from Nanoha. I don't know if Mid could survive.
"There will only ever be one of that thing," Signum replied.
"Yeah but what if she has kids. I bet they'll be blowing stuff up before they can walk." Vita laughed while Signum stopped dead in her tracks.
"Signum whats wrong..." Vita asked as the newly awakened child looked up into Signum's eyes.
"Who are you, and you gonna hurt me like the scary man," the child asked staring up at Signum with one red and one green eye that looked strangely familar.
"No, I'm taking you to see some friends of mine who want to help you," Signum replied.
"Really," the girl asked.
"Yes," Signum replied as they continued onward.
"Vita, I pray that I am wrong but if she is who I think she is we will carve a path of destruction the likes of which haven't been seen since the days of ancient belka." Signum replied.
"Ok," Vita replied still confused.
"Shamal drop the barrier." Signum called out.
"I still don't get it why all of this trouble for one little brat."
"Vivio's not a brat," the aforementioned girl said smacking Vita with a bright pink hand as they entered the room.
The headed girl forgotten Vivio starred into the watery eyes of a blond haired woman with red eyes, a man with green eyes, and a brown haired woman who felt familiar. "You're not gonna hurt me like the scary man are you," Vivio asked holding on to Signum's leg.
"No we would never do anything like that," Nanoha replied struggling to hold back her tears.
"Um, ok.... can you do magic like me," Vivio said holding up a glowing pink hand.
"Yes," Nahoha cried sending a floating pink orb over to the girl.
"Wow, it feels like mine," Vivio said touching the glowing orb. "Can you teach me how to do that," Vivio said smiling as the orb flew around the room.
"Vivio do you know who your parents are," Hayate asked as Nanoha picked the small girl up.
"The scary doctor said vivio didn't have any parents because she was a bad experiment," Vivio said sadly as Fate moved next to Nanoha and gently stroked the girls hair. "But Vivio wasn't a bad experiment because she blew up the big meanie robots that came to take Vivio back inside, all I wanted to do was play a little more but my sisters had to go on a mission. Does this mean Vivio is a bad girl for blowing up the doctors toys." Vivio explained to the stunned occupants of the room.
"Signum, I'm going to ......." Vita said telepathically to her fellow knight her rage slowly growing.
"Get in line, they will rue the day they angered the walking lost logia. Ragnarok is not the most powerful spell I have, but that is for another time." Hayate said.
"Yes mistress," they replied silently
"No, Vivio is a good girl, and she has parents to," Fate said taking the child from Nanoha
"Do you know who my mom is because you have hair and eyes like me," Vivio asked.
"Yes Fate cried.
"Mama Vivio said looking up at Fate.
"Yes, Nanoha and Fate replied as Vivio's eyes brighten.
"Mama," Vivio cried out doing her best to hug both of them. "Um, Mamas does Vivio have a papa since she has two mamas." Vivio asked breaking the silence.
"Yes, Vivio has a papa," Yuuno said picking the small girl up.
"Papa, Vivio cried wrapping her small arms around Yuuno's neck.
While Yuuno and Vivio enjoyed some father daughter time Fate and Nanoha approached Signum and Vita. "Will you help...." They began.
"You needn't ask our sword is yours. Who ever is involved will feel the wrath of the wolkenwritter."
"That's if I don't leave them as a pile of ash at the bottom of a smoking crater," Hayate said. "I will find who is responsible and they will pay, even if I have to tear the TSAB apart."
Well what do you guys think. I know it's not the greatest but I thought it could be an interesting idea.

Mega1987- I got a little side tracked by my stargate story between semesters but with the second to last semester of grad school going right now I'm pretty busy. I think I will try to get out some chapters on my MGLN origins fic first (right now I'm stuck on where to begin the next chapter) and then get something out for my gunslinger girl fic. What did you think of my little plot idea..... It's actually something I would like to use as part of a sequel to origins or a later part to it if I continue it through strikers

Greetings everyone!
September 28th was a rather special day. For those who don't know, it was the one year anniversary of Swords and Shields. To mark this occasion, I crafted a special gift for you all. The continuation of the bedroom scene from chapter 7. A special something for your reading delight and something to sate the curiosity you may have had so far as 'Did They or Didn't They?'
Give a hand to Kuroi Hadou as well, who helped me along and kept it from turning into something awful. He demands mention of his evilness and his Dark Beta Powers as well. He is a bad, bad man...
I hope you enjoy it and I'd appreciate any comments or criticisms you may have. Though given the mature nature of the content, PMs would be best if you don't feel like posting a review on Mediaminer.
If you wish to read it, send me a PM and I will send you the link.

On the chapter itself:
Looks like Lina and Nanoha have drilled the basics of knowledge on Mazoku to Vivio and Arashi, (even if expected) well done for them. Though there's no mention of Chaos magic, I suspect it's just a slip of Vivio.
After becoming the Pokedex Dragondex encyclopedia on UA-500's dragons it doesn't feel strange Thoth giving such big knowledge, still a bit surprising to see it though.
However... Shut up! Let that go just this time!
Uno and Jail are back? Though I'd rather have the not-cloned-(again)-flesh-and-bones version of them I can have hopes again for a meeting beetween Reinforce and Jail after both died(?) in StrikerS *nods*
The last paragraph might use a slight reword (I understand Nove groaned and being glad for Jail's "return"/gift, but as those reactions are somewhat opposite of each other the paragraph feels broken.

By Brandeis University Sports Information
WALTHAM, Mass. – The MIT men's soccer team fell to local foe Brandeis University, 2-1, on Wednesday night. With the loss, the Engineers' ledger dipped to 5-3 on the year while the Judges improved to 1-3-1 overall.
For the second game in a row, Brandeis opened the scoring. On a free kick in the 28th minute, Cory Bradley put a ball in the mix from about 30 yards out which found the foot of rookie forward Sam Ocel. He then slid it across the goal mouth to classmate Matt Peabody for his second goal of the season. The Judges enjoyed a 1-0 halftime lead despite getting outshot, 6-4, in the stanza.
MIT scored the equalizer in the 58th minute on the third of three straight corner kicks. After his first two attempts were deflected out of bounds by the Judges, Christian Therkelsen sent one through the box. Rookie defender Ben Lewis was there to head the ball home for his first collegiate goal.
Brandeis responded in the 68th minute with a corner kick goal of its own. Noah Bass got the ball through to Luke Teece who launched a ball at the net. Alexander Farr headed it past MIT netminder Dylan Rankin for what proved to be the game-winning goal.
The Engineers continued to attack, registering five shots in the final 23 minutes, but Brandeis' Matt Lynch made two saves to preserve the lead. Rankin also had a nice stop on a shot by Judge rookie forward Joe Eisenbeis in the 73rd minute to keep the visitors within one goal.
Lynch earned the win with five saves, as the Brandeis defense kept an MIT offense that had outscored its opponents, 24-9, at bay. Rankin finished with three stops for the visitors.

Esther Let the Good Times Rolle
By: Linnea Crowther
6 years ago
In the history of television sitcoms, there have been many memorable mother figures. Some are nurturing and gentle (think June Cleaver on "Leave It to Beaver"), while others follow more of a "tough love" approach (the saucy Sophia on "Golden Girls" for example). But the best, perhaps, are the moms who manage to do a little of both.
As Florida Evans, matriarch of the 1970s classic sitcom "Good Times," Esther Rolle was just such a mom. She worked hard to keep her Chicago family afloat, could be serious and stern at times – but she got in some good jokes, too.
Rolle played Evans for six seasons, including five on Good Times and one on Maude, where she originated the character. Florida Evans was memorable, but Rolle's talents extended beyond sitcoms, and even beyond acting. Rolle was also an accomplished singer and dancer – she directed the dance troupe Shogolo Oloba – and showed off her skills in her onstage appearances, like her starring role in the 1973 play "Don't Play Us Cheap."
And, though she's best remembered for her role in a comedy, Rolle was an award-winning dramatic actor. She took home an Emmy for TV movie "Summer of My German Soldier," and she won an NAACP Image Award for her role in "Rosewood."
But for those of us who grew up watching TV in the '70s and '80s, Rolle will always be one of our favorite moms.

Raven Connected Car - IoT, IoMe, IoCar + Secure Connectivity & Artificial Intelligence all disguised as a Dash Cam!
Contextual technology gathered up and situational relevance and intelligence added. To call this security conscious "vehicle-to (and from)-everything" platform a Dash Cam is a bit of an injustice to the scope of this connected car ecosystem. Connects directly to the car's OBD port so know's what's going on internal to the vehicle systems and puts that into the contexts of info, location plus driver and family to deliver valuable set of person centric capabilities. The feature list is long, but the Raven, with cameras looking out and in and all knowing connectivity delivers peace of mind while driving. Not just for driver and passangers, but for family as well. This caught my eye because of what the overall technology combination delivers when the IoCar intelligently intersects with access to information, the IoT and IoMe and mine.
So many stated features. Here's what they say. (my comments in parenthesis)
Raven gives cars the intelligence and voice needed to proactively communicate with drivers and their families, making them smarter, safer and more connected while on the road.
At home, at work or a thousand miles away, Raven's always-on and always-connected system gives family members and car lovers unprecedented peace of mind with:
* Live streaming camera views, both road-facing and in-cabin
* Security alerts (car broken into?)
* Departure and arrival notifications (mapping)
* Driving reports (even capture time lapse synopsis of journey)
* Gesture controls (and voice commands coming soon)
* Next-turn navigation
* Weather condition updates
* Vehicle diagnostics
* Wi-Fi hotspot
Raven unmasks the sophistication and intelligence locked under the hood in today's vehicles and makes it readily accessible to drivers.
Raven has been designed and engineered from the ground up by a highly accomplished team passionate about best in-class performance and user experiences.
(The connectivity to the web and to a defined group of friends and family is a real value proposition understated here) Worth a visit to the Raven Website for more details on use cases and how it works.

VUZE CAMERA – Making 3D360º VR content easy as point and click
Look out world, here comes consumer generated 3D360º content!
An amazing innovation in software and hardware from HumanEyes Technologies that will enable ordinary consumers as well as professional photographers and movie makers to create VR pictures or videos using the hand-held point-and-shoot VUZE camera. Stylish "flying saucer" design and small highly portable and lightweight camera on a versatile 'selfie stick" or tripod. Removable SD card can capture up to one hour of video allowing people to capture every part of the world around them in breathtaking detail.
VUZE 3D360º camera is controlled by a dedicated iOS and Android app. Inside are 8 Full HD cameras that simultaneously capture images, videos and sound to facilitate full stereophonic and 3D360º spherical content. Each camera uses ultra-wide and vertical angle lenses to capture 1200 horizontal and 1800 vertical images and together generate 4K VR content. VUZE can capture both 2D and 3D360º spherical images and videos and can effortlessly switch between the two.
And they won the "Last Gadget Standing" competition as well, so I am not alone in counting this as a breakthrough that Caught My Eye!

Roost - make your smoke alarms into connected devices (IoT)
Roost have developed a smoke alarm reporting system in a 9 volt battery profile so it fits in and works in any smoke alarm. Another example of being able to use existing components and technology to bring the huge installed base into the IoT. Spoke to Roost's CMO David Henry at CES Unwired.
Looks just like a 9 volt battery and has two smaller Lithium batteries inside so maintains the 5+ year power supply, but also has WiFi, a processor and software, an audio detector tuned into alarm sound and no matter where you are, notifies to your smartphone when alarm has sounded or if the battery needs replacing. RRP $35. Availability May this year. Innovative and I want a couple, but not sure about the price point versus 9V battery...

W-P board elects to leave NEMC at end of school year
Updated Jan. 13 at 9:21 a.m.
WHITTEMORE — At its Jan. 11 regular meeting, the Whittemore-Prescott Board of Education voted unanimously to withdraw from the Northeast Michigan Conference, effective at the conclusion of the 2009-10 school year.
W-P Athletic Director Jeff Erickson, in his presentation to the board, said that it was necessary for the district to let the NEMC know of the board's decision the following day, Tuesday, Jan. 12. Erickson also raised the possibility of Whittemore-Prescott joining with the Alcona, Oscoda, and Tawas districts to form a new athletic conference.
Erickson said that the NEMC would cease its operations after the end of the 2010-11 school year. "My understanding is that the league will be in existence for one more year after this year," he said. "After that, other schools have applied to various places."
It was at that point that Erickson brought up the possibility of forming a new league with the three aforementioned schools. Board President Steve Bassi said that Whittemore-Prescott's placement in the league often put the Cardinals at a competitive disadvantage going up against larger schools in the conference.
"I think we should remove ourselves from this league and form a new league," Bassi said, although he also brought up the possibility of Whittemore-Prescott competing in athletics without any conference affiliation.
The move by Whittemore-Prescott came approximately two months after the Tawas Area Schools district voted to withdraw from the NEMC. Erickson said at that time that Tawas had originally requested to be dropped from the conference for football only. However, he said that the other schools in the conference took a vote, and they would not allow Tawas to withdraw just for football. At that point, Erickson said Tawas withdrew from the league entirely.
The Jan. 11 meeting was not the first time the district has discussed joining another athletic conference. Erickson told the W-P school board on Dec. 14 that several of the teams had moved to start a new conference that was to include
W-P, Tawas, Standish-Sterling, Pinconning, Oscoda and Alcona. However, he said Alcona asked to be removed from consideration if Standish-Sterling and Pinconning were included, and that idea was dropped.
In other news, the board elected its officers for 2010. Bassi was elected as president, while Billie Jo Stone was elected vice president, Gary Gillings as secretary, and Russ Perrin as treasurer.?

Coupons.com DMCA Fight Over... Again
from the nobody-wins? dept
But... apparently after Stottlemire bragged that he "kicked [Coupons.com's] ass," the company tried to reopen the case, claiming that Stottlemire had breached the non-disclosure agreement on the settlement and claiming that they need to reopen the case to "set the record straight." It's difficult to see how claiming you "kicked their ass" breaches any disclosure agreements, since it's hardly giving away much of anything. And, it appears, a judge has agreed, denying the request to reopen the case. The judge did say that Stottlemire's statement was a breach, but hardly an egregious one, and certainly not a big enough deal to reopen the case.
