It's that time of the year again, and working with ProMedia, the hardcore heads-up drag racing organization who operates the National Muscle Car Association, kept true to their roots with this year's Chevy High Performance Nationals at Atlanta Raceway in Commerce, Georgia. The CHP Nationals featured plenty of heads up action with well over 300 show cars, including the Embry-Riddle jet cars running nearly 300 mph with the ladies of speed, Elaine Larsen and Marisha Falk. This was also the stomping ground for our 3rd annual Street Machine Challenge & Top Ride Shootout.
While the weekend featured nonstop action, we pushed the limits with our Pro Touring competitors during the SMC & TRS portion. Even though it's clear to many, if you are new to the Pro Touring scene these hot rods are known for being able to do a little bit of everything from corner-carving to drag racing to even cruising across the country with comfort. And if we've learned anything over the years, more enthusiasts are finding themselves behind the wheel and getting their adrenalin flowing with eyes wide open. Of course, our SMC & TRS event provided the perfect venue to make that happen.
This year's SMC lineup included Detroit Speed with their '70 Camaro and BMR Suspension with their 2010 Camaro. We also invited Fatman Fabrications, who was a competitor in the previous SMC events with their '57 Chevy, mostly to get a better feel for how their Tri-Five would handle on the autocross course. When it came to the TRS contenders, we had Adam Toney with his '70 Chevelle, Brian Finch with a '71 Camaro, Terry Neuville with a '67 Camaro, Terri Neuville with her '67 Camaro, Tim McGilton with a '70 Z/28 Camaro, Deborah McGilton with a '69 Camaro, Dan Howe with a '84 Monte Carlo, Brad Granger with a '67 Camaro, Duke Roddy with his '65 C10 truck, and a last minute entry Randy Haskins with his '71 Nova.
To compete in SMC and TRS, each car is subjected through the Wilwood Brakes 60-to-0 braking challenge, dragstrip quarter-mile passes, and the autocross. Regarding rules, only one counted and that required all competitors to run a street tire with a minimum treadwear of 180. Beyond that, anything flew and it made for some tough competition.
For this year's event, we started the weekend with the 60 to 0 braking challenge. Here, sister publication Camaro Performers' editor Nick Licata and editor Henry D blasted up to speed and clamped down on the binders to test out the stopping power. And unlike previous years, where the staff of Chevy High Performance would push the cars through the dragstrip and autocross; this year, it was all on the owners.
After this weekend's challenge, we've always known it, but we have to say that our SMC & TRS competitors are bonafide adrenaline junkies that are flat-out fearless. When the smoke cleared, BMR Suspension's Allan Miller came out on top in the Street Machine Challenge with his 2010 Camaro. In the Top Ride Shootout, Brian Finch and his silver bullet '71 Camaro took home the honors.
It's hard to believe another year has come and gone, but one thing's for sure; this years event was outstanding with top notch rides and yes, we're already prepping for next year. Make note, there will be one change for 2014; we're combining The Top Ride Shootout with our Street Machine Challenge, which means, we're eliminating the TRS banner and SMC will be opened up for additional spots for anyone to join in on the fun. The real question is, will you be there?
Kudos to our 2013 champions, Allan Miller for taking the overall title with his 2010 Camaro in the Street Machine Challenge and to Brian Finch for taking the win in the Top Ride Shootout.

There's Lindsey Davis, who wrote the Roman mystery/crime/historical novels centring on private investigator Marcus Didius Falco and his far nobler, richer, girlfriend/wife Helena Justina. (Incidentally, Falco started out as an engaging loser living on his wits, fighting crime, and who was developing a drinking problem. He has an ambivalent relationship with down-to-earth pragmatic Emperor Vespasian and his two royal sons. While he despises the whole idea of Emperors and wishes the place were still a Republic, Falco is wise enough to treat the most powerful man in the Empire with at least minimal, but candid, courtesy. Vespasian in turn recognises his ability as a detective and sends him out on what might be called the less desirable Imperial jobs, to the punishment-posting corners of the Empire. Such as the wet hellish rainy cold swamp called Britain. Here, he meets independently-minded rich noble divorcee Helena Justina. Under her exasperated care, he gets better jobs. Helena's despairing family accomodate a son-in-law who would not be their first choice. She also serves to ease over those little misunderstandings that happen with the Emperor and others.
So far, so Sam and Sybil....
Lindsey Davis invented the term tribute plagiarism and uses this shamelessly in conjunction with Terry Pratchett, incorporating many sly or hidden references in her works.
We at the L-Space Wiki have a whole page devoted to this, and indeed to other authors who have been similarly influenced by Terry, here:-

BAFTA-Winner: BEST DRAMA SERIES (British Academy of Film & Television Arts)
Enjoy An Uplifting UK Comedy-Drama About Romance & Second Chances
Ch.5.1 – Sundays at 7:00 pm, September 8 – October 13
Childhood sweethearts Alan (Derek Jacobi "I, Claudius," "The King's Speech") and Celia (Anne Reid "Upstairs, Downstairs"), both widowed and in their 70s, fall for each other all over again when they are reunited after nearly 60 years. The celebratory tale of the power of love at any age is also a story about family — a family with baggage. Alan and Celia's daughters, whose dysfunctional lives bring drama at every turn, would never dream of getting in the way of their parents' happiness. But somehow they just can't help themselves.
In the UK, the series premiere ranked within BBC One's top ten highest-rated drama series in 2012, attracting 7.3 million viewers. Full of zesty humor, authentic characters and glorious dialogue, it's about timeless love in a very modern setting.
Executive producer Nicole Shindler said, "Making the series was a complete joy for all of us involved, and (we) are of course thrilled that we can share the series with viewers in the U.S. The themes and stories are completely universal, so we're hopeful that PBS viewers will enjoy the series as much as those in the UK."

Caroline throws herself whole-heartedly into her relationship with Kate (Nina Sosanya "Casanova" "Silk"). Alan and Celia have lunch in the pub with Harry and Maurice. Alan can't decide which of them should be his best man, so he ends up asking them both! Caroline tells John that the 'someone' she's seeing is a woman. Devastated with the implications, he doesn't know who to turn to and ends up over at the farm, hoping for Gillian's sympathy. Here he gets drunk and nastily tells Celia that her daughter is a lesbian. An appalled Celia insists on going home. Drunk Gillian invites John to go to bed with her.
Episode 6
Sunday 10/13 at 7:00 pm
Learn how family disputes and a medical crisis affect the wedding plans.

Celia duly apologizes to Kate and begs her not to leave Caroline. The next day Celia is shocked to learn that Alan's had a heart attack. She stays by his bedside, telling him that their wedding plans are back on now she's made things right with Caroline. Against the odds, Alan regains consciousness.

LOGAN — When the Upper Big Branch mine suffered an explosion, four men who had been working in the mine could not be located or several days. The families of those men held a vigil outside the mine before the miners were found to have died in the disaster.
The delay of getting search crews into the mine during the UBB disaster is one of the situations that Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College's Mine Rescue Command Unit was created to address.
Mine Fire and Rescue Instructor at SWVCTC Donald Hurley was at UBB, and he spoke to the Daily News at the King Coal Festival, where the Command Unit truck was on display.
"We had to to drive air samples to the lab," Hurley said. "We realized we need to analyze air samples at the site, now we can do that."
The Command Unit is equipped with a gas chromatograph, which can analyze air samples, but that is only part of the technology in the 35 foot long truck.
The truck also has satellite communications and a weather radar.
"We have a mast that raises 44 feet up, so we in addition to satellite and internet we have a portable weather station," Hurley said. "The National Weather Service is not specific to a site, but we can be with our truck with can detect lightning within a 300 mile radius."
Hurley said the mast is also equipped with cameras, so personnel manning the vehicle can watch a mine entrance as well as other areas of a mine disaster, and record activity.
The cost of equipping the Command unit was paid with fines levied by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, but Hurley said he does not know the total cost of the truck.
"I always say I don't want to know how expensive it is," Hurley said. "I would be afraid to drive it."
Hurley said that since the Command Unit has been on the road, no mine disasters have occurred, so the unit has not been dispatched.
One of the mine rescue units that did respond to the UBB explosion that day was the Mine Academy's Heavy Rescue Truck. The truck is equipped with rescue equipment, such as 20 airbags and a portable Jaws of Life..
Southern's mine rescue fleet is rounded out by a light truck, which with an air compressor onboard, has the ability to fill air tanks. The light truck was used at the recent Aracoma Hotel fire, as well as assisting at other disaster scenes.
Southern's Mine Academy provides training for a career in the mining and energy technology industries. The classes are geared for enhancing students' knowledge of advanced modern processes and technologies to assist them with job placement in a variety of technical fields. Through the use of state-of-the-art training simulators and hands-on equipment labs, students will obtain industry certifications of which most are transferable to academic credit hours.

I didn't realize when we first checked in but they have foldaway beds in all the stairwells which enables them to accommodate many more individuals than should be allowed. Over the weekends they have 7 toilet and shower combos for over 100 people due to large tour groups. By overbooking they cause many issues. "

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa Snow is coating streets and highways across Eastern Iowa.
Crews at The Eastern Iowa Airport have been preparing for this winter storm for days. Gibbs leads the effort to keep the runways clear; he said his crew will be working around the clock. "We have our partners in UPS and FedEx that don't tend to quit and they've got packages and need to get places as well," Gibbs said. "Right now, I know UPS doesn't plan on stopping their operations tonight (Thursday)."
Iowa Department of Transportation snowplow drivers in Cedar Rapids received the order to start their engines as the flakes started falling, at around 6 p.m. Thursday. "We'll get our sand loaded up, we'll go out and everybody has their own routes to take care of," said Iowa DOT Snowplow Driver Greg Callanan.
Crews are using salt and sand to treat area highways. They also know the simple act of plowing will be vital during this storm as the inches pile up. A few drivers already noted th at the trip home from work was slippery.
DOT plows are expecting the snow to continue falling at a heavy rate throughout the night. That likely means an even trickier commute in the morning.
Street crews with the City of Cedar Rapids also will be working to keep roads clear throughout the night. They said they'd have dozens working during the early morning hours in hopes of preventing accidents during the morning drive.
Officials say road conditions are rapidly deteriorating in parts of Iowa as a major winter storm moves in.
The state Department of Transportation says strong winds from the east have reduced visibility Thursday afternoon to a quarter to half mile in southern and central Iowa, especially in open areas.
Officials say the snow is moderate, but will intensify in the next few hours. Most roads in southwest and south central Iowa are partially covered in snow or mostly covered.
The widespread winter storm system swirled to the north and east Thursday night, its snow, sleet and freezing rain prompting winter storm warnings in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.
Corey Mead, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the winter storm would be centered in the upper Midwest by Friday morning.
"Even across Kansas, the snowfall rates should continue to taper off through the evening," Mead said.
The system left behind impressive snow accumulations, especially in western Kansas, where 17 inches fell in Hays.
Several accidents and two deaths were blamed on icy and slushy roadways; two people died in crashes Wednesday. Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring states, were closed Thursday and legislatures shut down in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Truett said it was "pouring snow" earlier Thursday, with it falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour or more in some spots.
Topeka, Kan., got 3 inches of snow in a 30-minute period, leaving medical center worker Jennifer Carlock to dread the drive home.
"It came on fast," Carlock said as she shoveled around her car. "We're going to test out traction control on the way home."
Snow totals passed the foot mark in many places: the Kansas cities of Hutchinson, Macksville and Hanston all saw 14 inches, and Wichita, Kan., had 13 inches. A few places in far northern Oklahoma saw between 10 to 13½ inches of snow. Missouri's biggest snow total was 10 inches, shared by the Kansas City metropolitan area, Rockport in the northwest corner and Moberly in the central part of the state.
Transportation officials in affected states urged people to simply stay home.
"If you don't have to get out, just really, please, don't do it," Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said. Interstate 70 through Kansas was snow-packed, and a 200-mile stretch between Salina and Colby was closed.
In Iowa, visibility was down to a quarter- to a half-mile on some southern and central Iowa roads, the state Department of Transportation said early Thursday evening.
Driving in the region's cities wasn't much better. Richard Monroe, 27, technology manager and marketing representative for the Missouri State University bookstore in Springfield, and eight of his colleagues arrived in Kansas City, Mo., on Wednesday for a conference.
He said a shuttle bus that was taking participants from the Weston Crown Center hotel to Bartle Hall, about five minutes away, got stuck in the snow and then ran into a truck. The vehicle was incapacitated for nearly two hours.
"We saw today that Kansas City is just shut down. I've never seen a big city like this where nothing is moving," Monroe said.
But some people came down with cabin fever, like Jennifer McCoy of Wichita, Kan. She loaded her nine children ages 6 months to 16 years in a van for lunch at Applebee's.
"I was going crazy, they were so whiny," McCoy said.
Cases of wine and beer as well as bottles of scotch and whiskey were flying off the shelves at Ingersoll Wine and Spirits ahead of the storm's arrival in Des Moines, Iowa.
"A lot of people have been buying liquor to curl up by the fire," wine specialist Bjorn Carlson said. NWS forecasts showed 3 to 9 inches of snow were expected in Iowa overnight, and Nebraska will see an additional 2 to 5 inches.
Heavy, blowing snow caused scores of businesses in Iowa and Nebraska to close early, including two malls in Omaha, Neb. Mardi Miller, manager of Dillard's department store in Oakview Mall, said most employees had been sent home by 4 p.m., and she believed "only two customers are in the entire store."
The storm brought some relief to a region that has been parched by the worst drought in decades.
Vance Ehmke, a wheat farmer near Healy, Kan., said the nearly foot of snow was "what we have been praying for." Climatologists say 12 inches of snow is equivalent to about 1 inch of rain, depending on the density of the snow.
Near Edwardsville, Ill., farmer Mike Campbell called the precipitation a blessing after a bone-dry growing season in 2012. He hopes it is a good omen for the spring.
"The corn was just a disaster," Campbell said of 2012.
Areas in the Texas Panhandle also had up to 8 inches of snow, and in south central Nebraska, Grand Island reported 10 inches of snow. And Arkansas saw a mix of precipitation a combination of hail, sleet and freezing rain in some place, 6 inches of snow in others.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency Thursday morning. All flights at Kansas City International Airport were canceled for Thursday night, and officials said they'd prepare to reopen Friday morning. More than 320 flights at Lambert Airport in St. Louis were canceled by Thursday afternoon. Traffic throughout the state was snarled by hundreds of accidents and vehicles in ditches.
The University of Missouri canceled classes for one of the few times in its 174-year history. At a nearby Wal-Mart, some students passed the ice scrapers and snow melt, heading directly to the aisles containing sleds and alcohol.
"This isn't our usual Thursday noon routine," Lauren Ottenger, a senior economics major from Denver, said as she stockpiled supplies.

I've been giving my Kindle a good workout this past few days, and here are a few things I've learned.
There's a button to the righthand side of the spacebar, that looks a little like a bit moutain point and a little mountain point.
Press it. You then get into the options settings for making the print type bigger, and orientation of the books you want to read, ie portrait or landscape.
With regard to footnotes. I'm currently reading I Shall Wear Midnight.
The footnotes are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.
At righthand side of the Kindle is an up/down left/right control panel.
Using the left/right, etc buttons, go to the numbered footnote, at which point the cursor should turn into the pointing hand symbol. Press the enter button on the controller (the square pad in the middle) and it will take you to the footnote.
To go back to the book, press the "back" button.
Not ideal, but better than nowt.

Here's how RW members rated this race (94 votes).
In short: Still a few ache now but had funIn full: This race was very well thought out we got our chip and storage done within 3 mins. The race was well planed out. Quite a few hills but his just make you stronger in the end. Was my first 10k and i really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was good as well.Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Tough race with loads of hills and unlikely to be a race where you will get your PB - but nice scenery to enjoy as you suffer the 3 long uphills..Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: What a great race - loved it!!In full: Having travelled through torrential rain and been stuck in traffic for 30 mins I really didnt think we would make it to this one. As we approached the start line up the hill they had started already!! We were helped v.quickly through registration although couldnt even see the crowd when we started! Great marshalls and v.friendly atmosphere. Some amazing 'tashes - not only from the boys!! Three, I think, killer hills last one was evil - though 5 mins off my 10K PB for me so well pleased. Nice to have a medal although a bit cheap and goody bag too. Seemed v.good value for a 10K. Would definitely do it again.Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Storms clear for a well organised and good spirited, but all too hilly run.In full: Great organisation, great cause - just a shame the course, beautiful though it is, is far from flat/undulating, criss-crossing a sod of hill that is Greenwich Park several times. If it could have been steered around the park rather than the laps up and down, I'd go back. As it is, kills your shins on the downs and saps any enjoyment on the way ups.Still, don't have a downer on the day - the forecast storms cleared in perfect time for the day and the marshalls, organisation and spirit were all excellent.Probably wouldn't do it again on this route though.Date of review: November 15, 2009
In short: Very good and challengingDate of review: November 15, 2009
In short: Fantastic organisation, superb routeIn full: The hills make this challenging, the headwind made it really tough hence no good for a PB attempt.Thought the atmostphere was fantastic and the organisation was really good. I think the people complaining about the lack of portaloos may not have realised that Greenwich Park has two public toilet blocks with about 15 loos in each.Only criticism would be that they said we would be able to check times on finishing which actually wasn't the case and we had to wait for the times to be up on-line which took about 24 hours.Will still definitley be doing this race next year.Date of review: November 15, 2009
In short: Not the best organised race! Not value for money.In full: I thought very poorly organised in the following areas: no portaloos for that number of people is a disgrace. I doubt the Teahouse would have been impressed with the number of runners using their toilet. The bag storage was shoddy and disorganised and as a single woman what would I want with a man's razor and shaving kit? I realise it's "Movember" but there should have been a ladies gift bag as well. Announcements over the speaker system would have been helpful. For £17 I expected a lot more. Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: Very well organised and friendly race - loved it!In full: Thank goodness the weather held out to make a great race! Very enjoyable, very friendly people and an interesting goody bag for sure! Loved all the Mos. If only I'd felt better (just recovering from a virus) as it would have been a PB for sure with this route.. well, if I survived the big hills!Thank you to everyone involved. I did the Epsom 5K too (same organisers) and these people know how to lay on a good race :-)Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: Great setting! Liked the hill then 200m straight finish, perfect.Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: Very well organised park run for charity...In full: We were lucky with the weather, at 8.30am it was belting down but fortunately by race time the sun was out, though the winds were still gusting pretty strongly!The run was three assorted loops around Greenwich Park which was surprisingly hilly we discovered! Although the initial instructions seemed somewhat complicated as you had to navigate the same paths a number of times, in reality it was quite straightforward with marshalls pointing the right way whenever you could have gone astray.Was all on paved paths so no real problem with the wet or mud.Support was fairly limited, which was understandable given the weather though there was some very enthusiastic cheering from some groups!Nice medal, even nicer goodie bag, decent razor with three tubes of grooming products, plus bananas, vitamin water, sweets and chocolates raisins at the end.Was chip timed for the serious runners, and plentiful parking was very straightforward just a few dozen yards from the start... if I had one suggestion would be to reroute the loops so that there wasn't that energy sapping hill at about 9.7km!!All in all hard to fault and for an excellent cause.

Well it broke, not the phone the case. However rokform took care of me. and my phone shielded in this case is ready for trade in, first time ever i usually bust the phone. I will only buy a phone if rokform makes a case for it. so figured i update while looking.
(Posted on 2/4/15)
Mine, gunmetal/ orange, because I'll never give it up. History evo3d broken beyond repair after 8 months, HTC "chin" 1st gen destroyed in 9 months prior damage before bricked, Motorola RZR 3 quad band snapped in half under 18 months. Now S4 with ROKFORM over 9 months not a scratch on it literally. Don't think it's because I learned how to handle my S4, it the Rokform case. Dropped from 6' bouncing off cement floors many times. Dropped on hard floor the kicked unintentionally it ricocheted off a tool box and climbed a wall before resting. Face down or up no scratches on the S4. The case is awesome rock hard and cradles the phone with minimal contact points. "floating" my phone the front ridges protect the screen for the slides. The corners are thick inpenitable and protective. It's a looker with the orange grip with the ability to show it off by "sticking" it to ferrous items, lol for safety sake. The only issue some headphone jacks don't seat well, but not all. The buttons are easy to get to and operate yet vault like protection. I will not buy a phone unless there is a ROKFORM case for it.
(Posted on 5/25/14)
I had my case for almost a year, when I remove my phone it looks new. No scratching, denting, or cracking. I'm amazed no case I owned has done this. In fact I got a new phone every year or sooner due to damage. In the hospital trama it's been dropped from 6 feet then kicked by a foot (rushing to the trama bay) crashing into anything then it changes direction, sometimes flips over, and slams into a wall that's kickboard is curved giving it some flight prior to landing. I can't tell you how many times thus has happened but six others ordered the case, one person got a new phone because of the bullet proff case. Thank you for protecting my phone like no other.

Just got my V3 case for my S4, I like it is much as the case I had for my iPhone 4S
(Posted on 8/5/13)
In the past I have owned the S3 version of this case. I know Rokform makes quality products that stand up to the test of time. As soon as the S4 version was available I ordered it and I am equally impressed again. The case is sleek and and doesn't give that bulky feel to the phone like most cases do, especially the ones built to take a beating. The functionality is great and it looks great.
You've hit another home run with the s4 version.
I would love to see some metallic types like the ipod has but for now I'm super excited! A must buy for any S4 owner
(Posted on 7/15/13)
Just got my case looks amazing and fits great. Dropped my phone also and still no worries. If rokform looks at this would love to put a request in for candy apple red case color, but make sure it's a solid color not like the red raspberry that is kind of see through. I'll definitely buy one.
(Posted on 7/9/13)
I just got my V3 case for my S4 and overall I am very pleased with it. I'm not very confident that it is going to protect it from a serious fall like an Otterbox case would, but it will definitely protect it from your everyday falls at 3-4 feet in drop.
I did find it necessary to modify the case slightly. As the case come it doesn't allow very easy access to the power button on the side of the phone. I found myself struggling to turn the phone on and off with the case. But I took a Dremmel tool and sanded off a little bit of the plastic making it easier to access this button. I didn't have to remove much plastic at all and it made a dramatic difference. After doing this it made me wonder why they didn't do this to begin with in the design phase? The volume buttons have the same problem, however I use these buttons very little in comparison to the power button and haven't felt the need to modify the opening yet.
I love the mounting system. It is awesome. I also bought the magnet system and it is awesome too.
(Posted on 7/8/13)
You guys rock! I won't ever use another case. Your products are the best!
(Posted on 7/6/13)
I just got my case yesterday and it looks great!!! Love the ability to mount/attach my phone almost anywhere I go. Thanks guys!!!!!!!!
(Posted on 7/6/13)
I watched the website everyday. As soon as it was available I ordered it. I am completely impressed with the build quality.

The client-server software architecture model distinguishes client systems from server systems, which communicate over a computer network. A client-server application is a distributed system comprising of both client and server software. A client software process may initiate a communication session, while the server waits for requests from any client.
Client/server describes the relationship between two computer programs in which one program, the client, makes a service request from another program, the server. Standard networked functions such as email exchange, web access and database access, are based on the client/server model. For example, a web browser is a client program at the user computer that may access information at any web server in the world. To check your bank account from your computer, a web browser client program in your computer forwards your request to a web server program at the bank. That program may in turn forward the request to its own database client program that sends a request to a database server at another bank computer to retrieve your account balance. The balance is returned back to the bank database client, which in turn serves it back to the web browser client in your personal computer, which displays the information for you.
The client/server model has become one of the central ideas of network computing. Most business applications being written today use the client/server model. So do the Internet's main application protocols, such as [], SMTP, [], DNS, etc. In marketing, the term has been used to distinguish distributed computing by smaller dispersed computers from the "monolithic" centralized computing of mainframe computers. But this distinction has largely disappeared as mainframes and their applications have also turned to the client/server model and become part of network computing.
Each instance of the client software can send data requests to one or more connected servers. In turn, the servers can accept these requests, process them, and return the requested information to the client. Although this concept can be applied for a variety of reasons to many different kinds of applications, the architecture remains fundamentally the same.
The most basic type of client-server architecture employs only two types of hosts: clients and servers. This type of architecture is sometimes referred to as two-tier. It allows devices to share files and resources.
These days, clients are most often web browsers, although that has not always been the case. Servers typically include web servers, database servers and mail servers. Online gaming is usually client-server too. In the specific case of MMORPG, the servers are typically operated by the company selling the game; for other games one of the players will act as the host by setting his game in server mode.
The interaction between client and server is often described using sequence diagrams. Sequence diagrams are standardized in the Unified Modeling Language.
When both the client- and server-software are running on the same computer, this is called a single seat setup.
Both client-server and P2P architectures are in wide usage today.
Specific types of clients include web browsers, email clients, and online chat clients.
Specific types of servers include web servers, [server]s, application servers, database servers, mail servers, file servers, print servers, and terminal servers. Most web services are also types of servers.

Sorry for this Rant, its been a bad month and i am very frustrated with Sky Broadband.
My service from them has been fantastic for the 12 Months i have been with them, over 15mb download speed at all times. I stream gaming footage on twitch flawlessly.
Now my relationship is gone ###### up and im moving back home, I need to cancel my Sky Broadband, i sent them an email stating that i am more than happy with Sky's service and really dont want to leave but i have no choice, im moving out of a flat and need the service cancelled.
I received a reply yesterday afternoon stating that yes, no problems at all, i can cancel, i just need to give 31 Days notice.
What else happened yesterday? My download speed has gone from 15mb+ to 1.5mb and my ping has gone over 400ms, when it use to be a constant 30-40ms. It just seemed like a coincidence to me.
I spoke with a very nice Sky Agent, Raj, and he assured me my service has not been limited and no issues are showing his end at all. I refused to believe this and stated i have tried disconnecting everything on my network, just having my PC or Laptop plugged in via a network cable directly to the router and it still sucks.
I can reboot my router and get the speed back, but within 5mins, it shoots back down to 1.5mb again, playing games is impossible with the ms at 400+. This went on all afternoon and evening / night.
I spoke to a manager this morning and he put me on hold for 15minutes, after that he said everything should be back to normal now and asked me to run a speed test... low and behold its now back to normal speed and ive been at this speed for over 2 hours now.
It just frustrates me when companies limit your usage when they know you are leaving them. I never missed any payments for my Sky packages, i am a good customer, i have their highest unlimited package.
I feel better now Thank you for letting me vent

House generally refers to a shelter or building that is a dwelling or place for habitation by human beings. The term includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to high-rise apartment buildings. However, the word can also be used as a verb ("to house"), and can have adjectival formations as well. In some contexts, "house" may mean the same as dwelling, residence, home, abode, accommodation, housing, lodging, among other meanings.
The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, though households can be other social groups, such as single persons, or groups of unrelated individuals. Settled agrarian and industrial societies are composed of household units living permanently in housing of various types, according to a variety of forms of land tenure. English-speaking people generally call any building they routinely occupy "home". Many people leave their houses during the day for work and recreation but typically return to them to sleep or for other activities.
Architect Norbert Schoenauer, in his book 6,000 Years of Housing, identifies three major categories of types of housing: the "Pre-Urban" house, the "Oriental Urban" house, and the "Occidental Urban" house.
Types of Pre-Urban houses include temporary dwellings such as the Inuit igloo, semi-permanent dwellings such as the pueblo, and permanent dwellings such as the New England homestead.
"Oriental Urban" houses include houses of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and traditional urban houses in China, India, and Islamic cities.
"Occidental Urban" houses include medieval urban houses, the Renaissance town house, and the houses, tenements and apartments of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The developed world in general features three basic types of house that have their own ground-level entry and private open space, and usually on a separately titled parcel of land:
In addition, there are various forms of attached housing where a number of dwelling units are co-located within the same structure, which share a ground-level entry and may or may not have any private open space, such as apartments (a.k.a. flats) of various scales. Another type of housing is movable, such as houseboats, caravans, and trailer homes.
In the United Kingdom, 27% of the population live in terraced houses and 32% in semi-detached houses, as of 2002. In the United States as of 2000, 61.4% of people live in detached houses and 5.6% in semi-detached houses, 26% in row houses or apartments, and 7% in mobile homes.
Some houses transcend the basic functionality of providing "a roof over one's head" or of serving as a family "hearth and home". When a house becomes a display-case for wealth and/or fashion and/or conspicuous consumption, we may speak of a "great house". The residence of a feudal lord or of a ruler may require defensive structures and thus turn into a fort or a castle. The house of a monarch may come to house courtiers and officers as well as the royal family: this sort of house may become a palace. Moreover, in time the lord or monarch may wish to retreat to a more personal or simple space such as a villa, a hunting lodge or a dacha. Compare the popularity of the holiday house or cottage, also known as a crib.
In contrast to a relatively upper class or modern trend to ownership of multiple houses, much of human history shows the importance of multi-purpose houses. Thus the house long served as the traditional place of work (the original cottage industry site or "in-house" small-scale manufacturing workshop) or of commerce (featuring, for example, a ground floor "shop-front" shop or counter or office, with living space above). During the Industrial Revolution there was a separation of manufacturing and banking from the house, though to this day some shopkeepers continue (or have returned) to live "over the shop".
Ideally, architects of houses design rooms to meet the needs of the people who will live in the house. Such designing, known as "interior design", has become a popular subject in universities. Feng shui, originally a Chinese method of situating houses according to such factors as sunlight and micro-climates, has recently expanded its scope to address the design of interior spaces with a view to promoting harmonious effects on the people living inside the house. Feng shui can also mean the 'aura' in or around a dwelling. Compare the real-estate sales concept of "indoor-outdoor flow".
The square footage of a house in the United States reports the area of "living space", excluding the garage and other non-living spaces. The "square meters" figure of a house in Europe reports the area of the walls enclosing the home, and thus includes any attached garage and non-living spaces.
Many houses have several rooms with specialized functions. These may include a living/eating area, a sleeping area, and (if suitable facilities and services exist) washing and lavatory areas. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) often share part of the house with human beings. Most conventional modern houses will at least contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen (or kitchen area), and a living room. A typical "foursquare house" (as pictured) occurred commonly in the early history of the United States of America, with a staircase in the center of the house, surrounded by four rooms, and connected to other sections of the house (including in more recent eras a garage).
The names of parts of a house often echo the names of parts of other buildings, but could typically include:
In the United States, modern house-construction techniques include light-frame construction (in areas with access to supplies of wood) and adobe or sometimes rammed-earth construction (in arid regions with scarce wood-resources). Some areas use brick almost exclusively, and quarried stone has long provided walling. To some extent, aluminum and steel have displaced some traditional building materials. Increasingly popular alternative construction materials include insulating concrete forms (foam forms filled with concrete), structural insulated panels (foam panels faced with oriented strand board or fiber cement), and light-gauge steel framing and heavy-gauge steel framing.
More generally, people often build houses out of the nearest available material, and often tradition and/or culture govern construction-materials, so whole towns, areas, counties or even states/countries may be built out of one main type of material. For example, a large fraction of American houses use wood, while most British and many European houses utilize stone or brick.
In the 1900s, some house designers started using prefabrication. Sears, Roebuck & Co. first marketed their Houses by Mail to the general public in 1908. Prefab techniques became popular after World War II. First small inside rooms framing, then later, whole walls were prefabricated and carried to the construction site. The original impetus was to use the labor force inside a shelter during inclement weather. More recently builders have begun to collaborate with structural engineers who use computers and finite element analysis to design prefabricated steel-framed homes with known resistance to high wind-loads and seismic forces. These newer products provide labor savings, more consistent quality, and possibly accelerated construction processes.
Lesser-used construction methods have gained (or regained) popularity in recent years. Though not in wide use, these methods frequently appeal to homeowners who may become actively involved in the construction process. They include:
Development of a number of low-energy building types and techniques continues. They include the zero-energy house, the passive solar house, superinsulated and houses built to the Passivhaus standard.
Forms of (relatively) simple shelter may include:
Houses of particular historical significance (former residences of the famous, for example, or even just very old houses) may gain a protected status in town planning as examples of built heritage and/or of streetscape values. Plaques may mark such structures.
House-ownership provides a common measure of prosperity in economics. Contrast the importance of house-destruction, tent dwelling and house rebuilding in the wake of many natural disasters.
Peter Olshavsky's House for the Dance of Death provides a 'pataphysical variation on the house.

In accordance with new OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Act) standards regarding labeling of chemicals and other potentially hazardous materials, Virginia Western has released an online course available via the Knowledge Center titled "VWCC – OSHA New Labels and Safety Data Sheets Training (December 2013)". This course is designed to fulfill the OSHA requirement that all employees must be trained on the new labeling system and Safety Data Sheet standards. This online course will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
This training is in accordance with new OSHA standards to conform to a world-wide means of identifying and labeling chemicals and hazardous substances. This brings the United States into a communication system consistent with other countries around the world. The new system is called the "Global Harmonized System (GHS)", and all American employers and employees are to undergo this training for and comply with the conversion to the GHS over the next two years. However, employee training on this new standard must occur now.
IMPORTANT: All current employees are required to complete this course as soon as possible. Instructions for accessing and completing the training are below.
SUPERVISORS: Please ensure all of your employees take this training course, especially those that do not have a VWCC Employee Email address. All full-time and part-time (including student, non-student and Federal Work-Study) are required to take this online training.
