About this design:
Well, I finally completed a fall piece but it seems I was exceptionally accident prone while assembling this. First I dropped the whole thing while checking the drape. Then I used some really pretty crimp tubes which promptly let go when I picked it up. After that I forgot to put the chain on and well, you get the picture....
Components:Dragon's Blood coin,Carnelian Nuggets, Turritella Agate, Black Lace Agate, Brecciated Jasper, Picture Jasper, Rhyolite, Rainforest Marble, Brass chain, beads and leaves, brass plated bead caps and clasp.

It's gorgeous Gail! What a lovely array of colors. Perfect for Fall!
I am Ooooo-ing and Ahhhhh-ing! This is fantastic!! I love the colors, and that dragon's blood focal with the leaves is so perfect. I would wear this in a heartbeat!
This is so lovely Gail. And as I read about your mishaps it reminded me of some of mine. But you've created another wonderful piece of art. The colors are perfection.
Just love the earthy quality of this piece.
Everything that could go wrong did…. Been there done that more times than I care to acknowledge. Glad you persisted cause it turned out great. Love the design and the colors are some of my favorites.
Thanks everyone, you all made my day! I think the jinx on this piece is ongoing. I posted it using my laptop and everything looked fine. When I came back on with my iPad the colors look horrible! There is an awful mustard yellow cast to everything when looking at it on my iPad that really isn't there at all! I hope it's just my particular IPad and no one else is getting those colors!
What a choice array of delicious colors!!! Love it!! Now don't trip wearing it.
Gorgeous colors, perfect for fall, LOL Becky
This is absolutely gorgeous, Gail! Love all the different gems in it, and your placement of them. Fabulous fall piece!
this is such a pretty mix of stones…i love what you've accomplished despite all those mishaps!
Lol Becky! You know, that very same thing popped into my head! It might be a good idea to wait a while before I wear it..
Very pretty, Gail – - but do be careful wearing it ! (Know exactly what you mean about some projects being full of silly mishaps – - -)
Gail, this is absolutely gorgeous! I feel your pain…I have definitely had beading days like that! My last few..well…I understand COMPLETELY! Enjoy it and be careful!
Becky, you are too funny…
Love, LOVE this Gail!
Sorry it was a such a bugger to accomplish. But you know, it's a somewhat of a comfort to know that others have been there……AND I HAVE!
The aggravation was worth the outcome in this case.
Well done!
I saw this yesterday and couldn't comment at the time. Remember thinking "that's pretty". So today I get to click on the close-up photos…my gosh those are some grogeous beads/stones!! Just amazing colors!! That is a beautifully designed necklace.
Sorry to hear about all the little jinxes. Boy could I tell some tales.
Beautiful combo of colors! Fab Fall necklace!
Thank you all sooo much! I been feeling like I've been in a slump lately so your positive comments really are appreciated!!
Lovely–well worth all that trouble! (There are pieces that just refuse to go together. Either the crimps let go or you see you've missed a bead too late or… It can be maddening.) Hang in there. You're doing great.
Beautiful colors (my fav), love the style. Great selection of beads.

HELSINKI Aug 13 Finnish department store chain Stockmann on Wednesday reported a smaller-than-expected second-quarter operating profit as weak consumer sentiment in Finland and the decline of the Russian rouble cut into sales.
Stockmann's operating profit was 3.5 million euros for April-June, weaker than the 13.4 million euros expected in a Reuters poll of analysts.
The company repeated it saw its revenue in euros declining this year and 2014 operating profit to be significantly weaker than last year. (Reporting by Sakari Suoninen; Editing by Biju Dwarakanath)

"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me. Obviously we're over the moon and very excited, but please respect our privacy at this precious time," she wrote. Adele, 24, and Konecki, who is divorced, have been dating since January. The announcement tops off a whirlwind 18 months that saw the "Someone Like You" singer from the UK become a global sensation with her album "21." The album is still in the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart more than a year after its release. Adele picked up six Grammy awards in February, including best album for "21" and record of the year for "Rolling In The Deep."

W is for Wasted
A Kinsey Millhone Novel
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreOf the #1 New York Times bestselling Kinsey Millhone series, NPR said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters."
W is for...wanderer...worthless...wronged...W is for Wasted.
Two dead men changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue.
The first was a local PI of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks later. He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with Millhone's name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him.
Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes.
But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages begin to emerge. Not just between the two victims, but also to Kinsey's past. And before long Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly compromised…

Quite simply put the Sold Out- French Wine Dinner I attending on Thursday Jan 17th at the Round Bistro in Gastonia was "Fantastic!" The dynamic duo as I call them: Aaron, managing partner, front of the house extraordinaire and Jack, Executive Chef, and also a managing partner together created a delicate, well balanced menu that would rival the best restaurant's in Charlotte. A six course, wine paired dinner that began with baked Brie drizzled with a raspberry currant sauce paired with Gerard Bertrand Cremant Rose, to a Lobster Bisque, followed by a Hot Wild Salad Tossed in Basil Vinaigrette topped with Smoked Pork, Duck L' Orange, Rabbit Cassoulet, ending with Gerard Bertrand Chateau l' Hospitalet Rouge paired with a Chocolate Truffle Trio that was just delightful. I understand this is number three in a series of wine dinners and I am just sorry that I missed the first two. This is actually my second visit to Round Bistro and I continue to be impressed. We finally have a great local restaurant that focuses on farm fresh to fork ingredients with an innovative menu that is a true culinary delight. I can't wait to see what Aaron and Jack do next! Thank you for bringing your vision and experience to Gastonia. Too everyone else, if you have not tried Round Bistro then you are missing out.

the service and food is great I eat there more than Mom's
From the minute I stepped into the restaurant, I had nothing but good vibes. The hostess met us, my husband and me, at the door and seated us promptly at a table. The menu was very easy to read and the prices were very affordable. We had the appetizer, and 2 entrees for $20. Awesome deal, and plenty of food! For the appetizer we indulged the onion and peppers with the ranch dipping sauce. I believe I could drink the ranch! When we asked if we could substitute a salad for the corn, it was no problem. The waitress kept our cups filled and made sure that we had a pleasant dining experience. Wonderful food, great service, and affordable bill... we couldn't have asked for a better outing.
The waiters and managers here are fantastic! They're very kind and understanding! But I'm afraid their kitchen staff either doesn't care or doesn't know what they are doing! Our food was way over cooked! The waiters were awesome and fixed it all!

71 Slag - Iron and Steel
lag is a by-product generated during manufacturing of pig iron and steel. It is produced by action of various fluxes upon gangue materials within the iron ore during the process of pig iron manufacturing in blast furnace and steel manufacturing in steel melting shop. Primarily, the slag consists of calcium, magnesium, manganese and aluminium silicates in various combinations. The cooling process of slag is responsible mainly for generating different types of slags required for various end-use consumers. Although the chemical composition of the slag may remain unchanged, physical properties vary widely with the changing process of cooling.
Depending upon the cooling process, three types of slags are generated; namely, air-cooled slag, granulated slag and expanded slag. Air-cooled slag is produced by allowing the molten slag to cool under atmospheric conditions in a pit. Under slow cooling conditions, escaping gases leave behind porous and low-density aggregates with special physical properties, making it suitable for many applications. When formed under controlled cooling, the slag tends to be hard and dense, making it especially suitable for use in road base and similar applications in construction. Granulated slag is produced by quenching the molten slag by means of high-pressure water jets. Quenching prevents crystallisation, thus resulting in granular, glassy aggregates. This slag is crushed, pulverised and screened for use in various applications, particularly in cement production because of its pozzolanic characteristics.

The slag produced at blast furnace during pig iron manufacturing is called blast furnace slag. The slag produced at steel melting shop is known as steel slag. Slag output obtained during pig iron and steel production is variable and depends mainly on composition of raw materials and type of furnace. Typically, for ore feed containing 60 to 65% iron, blast furnace (BF) slag production ranges from about 300 to 540 kg per tonne of pig or crude iron produced. Lower grade ores yield much higher slag fractions, sometimes as high as one tonne of slag per tonne of pig iron produced. Steel slag output is approximately 20%, by mass, of the crude steel output. Data on plantwise average generation of slag in 2006-07 and 2007-08 are given in Table-1. The statistics regarding capacity and production of iron and steel slag obtained from different plants in the country is given in Table - 2.
Blast Furnace Slag
At blast furnace, the slag floating over molten pig iron (hot metal) is flushed out in slag pot and then sent to slag granulating plant or to cooling pits.

much variation is observed in prices of granulated slag. Chhattisgarh. At ACC. screened and used mainly as road metal and bases. steel slag is fed into the rotary clinker kiln as a part of the raw material mix. landfills and railway ballast. The air-cooled BF slag is crushed. In this process. thus minimising the need for additional crushing and grinding. high resistance to chlorides and sulphate and it can substitute the use of 43 and 53 grades of ordinary Portland Cement. The resultant product is portland slag cement. This granulator consists of a variable speed rotating cup atomizer to break up the molten slag by centrifugal force and distribute it within a water-cooled cylindrical chamber. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Increased utilisation of granulated slag benefits the portland cement producers. Cement plants in the country producing slag cement require BF slag in granulated forms. clinker (procured from sister concern Satna Cement Works. Moreover. granulated slag (prepared in slag granulation plant from BF slag of Durgapur Steel Plant) and gypsum are ground together in specified proportion in ball mill for obtaining BF slag cement. A small quantity is also used by the glass industry for making slag wool fibres. The prices of granulated slag at cement factories in 2006-07 & 2007-08 are given in Table-6. CONSUMPTION The BF slag in India is used mainly in the cement manufacture and in other unorganised work. The chemical analysis of granulated slag consumed during the manufacture of slag cement is given in Table-5. However. Steel slag has been used successfully to treat acidic water discharges from abandoned mines. Madhya Pradesh). asphalt paving. the new system offers the possibility of considerable energy recycling in the form of hot water or heated air. For other consuming sectors like road making. It is also used for soil conditioning. A new granulator has been developed to cut the energy cost for granulation. landfills and concrete aggregate. claimed that clinker production could be enhanced by 15% by using this process. landfilling and ballasting. the component materials.SLAG . As per the statistics available with IBM. 250. The BF slag is not gaining much ground because of availability of other minerals at cheaper prices than the price of BF slag. during 2006-07 & 2007-08 varied from Rs.00 per tonne. The clinker thus formed is ground in ball mill with 40-50% dry slag and 6% gypsum.00 to 721. The process cools the molten slag rapidly enough to create small granules. PRICES The prices of BF slag vary from plant to plant. such as. Jamul. raw mix containing requisite calcium carbonate with argillaceous material is burnt in the kiln by using fine coal to form clinker. Steel slag has found use as a barrier material remedy for waste sites where heavy metals tend to leach into the surrounding environment. Only about 55% of the slag produced is consumed by the Indian Cement Industry. At Durgapur Cement Works. The process involves the use of steel slag. The granulated slag obtained from various steel plants is dried in slag dryer and ground with the clinker and gypsum in varying proportions as per the plant design. viz. Slag cement has low heat of hydration. Texas Industries Inc. Satna. Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) carried out investigations for value-added method for slag and proved a number of technically viable and 71-4 . Texas Industries Inc. the price of BF slag. railway ballast. Steel slag forces the heavy metals to drop out of solution in water runoff because of its high oxide mineral content. The expanded or foamed slag binds well with cement and is used mainly as aggregate for lightweight concrete. BF slag is used in making mineral wool for insulation purposes. Depending upon the distance between cement plants and the steel plants.IRON AND STEEL USES Different types of slags find different uses in the industry. it is not produced by domestic steel plants. Producers can enhance the production capacity without generating additional greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide. Granulated BF slag is used as a pozzolanic material for producing portland slag cement. the cooled slag is crushed by machines or broken manually by hammers into smaller pieces and supplied to the various end-use consumers.developed a process called Chem Star for cement clinker production. low alkali aggregate reaction.

Minimizing volatility is important to investment managers focused on capital preservation. After all, lower volatility helps protect capital and improve the key portfolio performance metric, the Sharpe Ratio, which is equal to the average annualized return divided by annualized volatility. An acceptable Sharpe Ratio for a portfolio starts in the 1.8 range.
How do these events inform us about the future of nuclear power, or its place in addressing climate change? One view is that nuclear power is safe and cost-effective, with long periods of stability and reliability interrupted infrequently by accidents. The other view is that power from the atom is unsafe and costly, with catastrophic accidents separated by periods of stability leading to a false sense of security.
So what is a Millennial? And, what is all the fuss about? It seems as though every article written about the future of the workforce involves some discussion about Millennials. You can't discuss social media, TV viewing habits or the state of the workforce without an in-depth analysis of this group. Can one group really command this much attention? The answer is a resounding yes. So again, who are they?
I've learned to love risk and embrace challenges that scare me. I feel that these challenges are my greatest teachers in life, and help me best connect with the true me. While I never dive headlong into high risk endeavors, I've developed strategies that have worked for me in the past and help to increase my comfort level, which allow me to take on challenges that let me soar to new heights.
Forecasters expect 2016 to be the warmest year ever recorded. Models suggest this is primarily because of the long term warming trend caused by man-made climate change. But around 25 percent of the warming expected for 2016 is explained by the strong El Niño, which exacerbates the warming impact of climate change.

The prospect of retirement doesn't just signal the end of a career; it offers the chance to recalibrate and re-prioritize in life.
I met with the Argentinian architect and furniture designer Alejandro Sticotti a few months ago while he was in San Francisco, and he showed me photos he'd snapped the previous week, while on Megijima Island in Japan for the 2010 Setouchi International Art Festival. The annual festival is over now, but I thought I'd still share his images, which show the furnishings and lighting he created for a restaurant on the ground floor of a Japanese ryokan inn on Megijima, one of Japan's Inner Islands.

|Reviews for Whitewater
| undoingtech chapter 8 . 8/31/2013
Beacon: Sad. Just sad.
Death and Endings: These convinced me that BB has a problem. Also, I do not think that Cyborg would randomly bring death up; there must have been a cause.
Ghost: Also sad. And ironic. The poor guy destined to be a superhero was stealing.
Holiday: Yay! Something other than the catnip came back! I really liked Holiday, but I am unsure why. It seems realistic. No action, not much dialogue. Not much of anything really. I suppose it must be because of Refuge. Perhaps I like it because it shows that Raven genuinely cares about BB's well-being in a way that the TV show did not. That must be it. Good job!
Kindness: This is also a sad one to me. It is logical that Raven would seek a place in which she does not feel creepy. While it is sad that Raven - er... Raven's behavior rather - is generally not accepted by many people. Ironically, this story made me happy because there is a place Raven can go where she feels normal. It is strange that she does not feel normal in the tower with other superheros.
Secrets: I REALLY like this one. I am not even sure that it makes sense in terms of Robin's character. I know many people label Raven as the most mysterious character, but I think it is Robin. Actually, now that I think of The Apprentice, this does make sense. "It was a thrill, wasn't it? ... You're going to keep stealing, Robin, and you're going to keep getting that thrill." It all makes sense now, but that does not make it less disturbing.
Wild: A nice addition.
I apologize for not reviewing all of them. Some of them are just too short for me to review, and some of them, I do not want to review simply because there are soooo many.
Many of these stories make me incredibly happy just because they fit well within the Teen Titans universe. I am frustrated because I cannot make very good reviews of stories/moments/raw information that are so short. I am so used to reviewing longer stories that usually have action and/or character emphasis and a select few times character development.
While some of the content in these shorts falls flat, the writing is wonderful. Your writing style, other than short, works for me. :)
| undoingtech chapter 7 . 8/31/2013
Speechless: That was a rather interesting detail to add. If this ever came up in the TV series, I did not notice it. Actually, I am not sure that I can think of a time when BB completely stopped talking because he was at a loss for words. There were times when he would not finish his thoughts, such as in Nevermore. Oh well. 'Tis a very nice detail. :)
War Games: I would not consider this a 'classic' BB and Raven moment, but it definitely is a moment for them. Having these characters think about the possibility of death is ... uh, well I am not sure. I suppose it is dark, but that is obvious. Unfortunately, there is not much emotion shown here other than a hug, and Raven's thoughts are not enough to show how this possibility of death affects or would affect her or BB. So instead of some deeply emotional conversation, I found this story to be a little bland. Darns. It is still a good topic, and I do not think it came up in the TV show. I guess that is why it is here!
| undoingtech chapter 6 . 8/31/2013
Herbal Tea: Very humorous indeed! There is not much that I can say about this one. Why did Raven have that kind of tea? Oh well. The characters are written well, as always. :)
The Beast Boy List: Sheer creativity. I love it. I actually feel for BB in this one; Raven and the other titans are kind of shooting him down. I actually believe that you could come up with 237 things to put on the list!
Homesick: This one is not very interesting to me. The ending was good. Did you really have to draw out the Rob/Star that much? Geez, implications much! Still, I have to admit that the drawn-out Rob/Star implication was funny as hell.

We Are One: Well that was uh... different. And yes, it was cheesy, but have to admit that the song and the titans match well. Raven's line was dark yet inquisitive. Loved it.
Wish Granted: Who was BB talking to? Starfire? Terra? I really liked the wished, but I liked the comebacks for the wished even more! Clever, clever, clever.
Waking Life: I suppose it makes sense, a little. Hell, this is fanfiction. I do not know if this matches the Teen Titans universe and characters, so I will just assume that it does. I have no major problem with this one.
I really enjoy your writing. It is actually quite refreshing to read short stories since I have been reading very long ones lately. The biggest problem that I have with short stories is that they can usually only show character, rather than develop it. The other problem that I can think of currently is that these stories do not really connect to each other, other than they all have the teen titans in them. Oh well. Every medium has restrictions.

009, 012, and 014 are unrealistic to me. They are all nice stories, but those three kind of don't work for me.
No typos! You have no idea how happy that makes me. :)
I think 007 and 011 were the most interesting to me. It really amazes me how much information is conveyed through these short moments. They really get the message to sick in.
007: Well done. Soooo well done. I like how you showed the similarities and the differences between the titans simply by examining their hands. I really like it, but I am unsure why. I cannot explain in any other way why this is good to me. Oh well.
011: I can totally see that happening. I actually wish that scene was in the Teen Titans TV series. The only problem I have with it is you did not explain how Raven knew Terra remembered. How does Raven know? Oh well. Even without that explanation, I would still like to have that scene in Teen Titans.

Hooray for action! Clever action at that! This is fairly simple. Not much character emphasis. I really like the birthday ideas, especially laser tag! The use of powers just makes it even more exciting!
This was very fun to read. AND NO TYPOS! YYAYAYAYAYAY!
Well done.
| undoingtech chapter 2 . 8/31/2013
Wow. These are like the short shorts of short stories!
002 Shows your understanding of at least part of Robin and BB's characters.
003 I did not really get it. There I am not so good with such little content. It is just my preference.
004 HHAHAHHA. Cyborg was right. Other than the Titan's rooms, they do not have much privacy.
005 Sweet. Not like the awesome sweet, but more like you-just-did-something-really-nice sweet.
I am really having a hard time review these short ones. I still enjoy reading them though. It is cool to see what could have happened between the scenes. :)
| undoingtech chapter 1 . 8/31/2013
I certainly have never read a fanfiction quite like this, and I am not sure what to think of it. I suppose that the idea behind these "short stories" or "implied scenes" is similar to the great and epic Stories Never Told. However this story is quite different.
For example, there is no action in this story. The closest thing to action in this story is Raven and BB fighting. This is really more of a nitpick rather than a huge flaw. In my opinion, having any amount of action brings the story to life a bit more. NITPICK
The fact that BB was living in the park is believable. That fact that Raven let him stay in her apartment so long is not very believable.
Both characters seem to be written fairly well. I cannot stand to read stories in which the characters are written poorly or are not in character at all.
All in all, this story just seems like a lot of fluff. I suppose that is what it should be... eh maybe. I wish there was more interaction shown between Raven and BB. This short story could have been better, but it also could have been soooo utterly bad!
I am neutral towards this story. I do not deem it amazing nor horrible.

123. This was not what I expected was about what happened after the Titans were taken, right? That's a really neat idea.
A few BB suggestions:
Beast boy is not allowed to imitate King Kong. Or a giant preying mantis. Or Cthulu.
Frankenstein is permissable, though.
BB may not repay grudges by turning into mosquitos, lice, fleas, or ticks.
BB may not turn into a parrotfish...on second thought, he can do it if he can live with switching gender.

I don't believe time heals wounds, but it certainly makes whatever happened fade slightly. I think your writing's awesome _ and you're rather creative in turning personal experiences into Teen Titans stories.

Beast Boy is not allowed to attempt to stick a quarter into Cyborg and then complain about how the 'vending machine' won't work.
Beast Boy is not allowed to hang mistletoe ever, due to an incident involving Starfire, Raven and a very shocked Robin.
Beast Boy is not allowed to convince Starfire to kiss anyone she finds beneath a mistletoe.
Beast Boy is not allowed to follow Starfire and Robin's patrol.
Beast Boy is not allowed to get into Raven's mirror and try to bring Happy back with him so that in a technical way he has succeeded in getting Raven to 'play' a video game.
Beast Boy is not allowed to follow Robin and sing "Nananananananana Batman!" constantly.
Beast Boy is not allowed to try to get a petition that will allow the Titans to have an underground cave and poles.
Beast Boy is not allowed to drive the T-Car, the Rcycle, or fly on the Book of Azar.
Beast Boy is not allowed to forward Fanfictions about Raven and Jinx in a romantic relationship to Raven or anyone.
Beast Boy is not allowed to buy dog treats and convince Starfire to make him do tricks.
Beast Boy in no way, shape, or form is allowed to convince (blackmail) Raven into wearing a ridiculous halloween costume due to the fact she nearly destroyed the Tower once she saw last year's costume; Brittany Spears.

ROCKVILLE, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- Organizations today face competitive and productivity challenges with so-called legacy mainframe applications. End-users of green screen mainframe applications, who are used to working within Windows and other graphically oriented environments, often become frustrated with the rigidity of their business applications. But to modernize this environment satisfactorily can be an expensive option, with a high dependency on specialized developer skills. To address this challenge, Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO.L), the leading provider of enterprise application modernization, testing, and management solutions, today launched RUMBA 9.0 and RUMBA+, which enable organizations to quickly modernize the end-user experience in isolation from the application code. This maximizes end-user productivity and satisfaction without the risks associated with heavy-duty modernization development projects.
Micro Focus RUBMA enhances the end-user experience of legacy applications by transposing their archaic green-screen presentation onto more familiar Windows, mobile and web environments. This allows organizations to improve end-user productivity, shorten business process learning cycles and cut through laborious data input/retrieval processes. Organizations will simply respond faster to market dynamics, their customers will realize the benefits of increased efficiency, and investments and knowledge present in the existing mainframe applications will have been preserved.
Commenting on the new release, Kevin Brearley, Senior Director of Product Management for Micro Focus, said: "RUMBA enables connectivity from Microsoft Windows, iPads or web browsers to virtually any host system with mission critical reliability. With wider reaching deployment capabilities, end-user productivity improvement is quickly delivered through a simple point and click interface. This enhanced experience can be delivered at a pace that suits, to the entire organization, individual departments or specific users. RUMBA is designed to modernize green screen applications with no risk to business continuity."
RUMBA in focus:
- RUMBA 9.0 is the core server required for RUMBA+ deployment. Quickly and securely connects to a range of host systems, enabling green-screen terminal emulation along with a set of popular supporting features and functionalities.
- RUMBA+ introduces three different clients that allow the customer to modernize green-screen applications without the need of specialized knowledge of mainframe applications or Windows, iPad or web browser technologies. Easy point and click controls can be created to enhance a single green-screen or to considerably update an entire application.
- RUMBA+ Desktop is the Windows based client that can quickly introduce productivity enhancements to the green screen pop-up calendars, dropdown menus, tool tips, in line help, graphs, Google maps and more.
- RUMBA+ Mobile is an iPad client that enables mobile access to the application with the RUMBA+ Desktop enhancements driven by native iPad functions.
- RUMBA+ Web is a Web client with out-of-the-box usability and immediate extended reach to the mainframe applications. It offers a modern, fresh and user-friendly interface through browser technology without the normal system overheads.
RUMBA is part of a family of enterprise application modernization technologies from Micro Focus, which help organizations transform the value of their core business systems.
About Micro Focus
Micro Focus, a member of the FTSE 250, provides innovative software that allows companies to dramatically improve the business value of their Enterprise applications.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

I had to look up Lake Glenville and I think it might really depend on where you are coming from. Cashiers is a hike from Charlotte, say, but easy from Atlanta.
High season--better be renting soon.

I had to look it up too. Choose based on location for yourself. You may also want to consider Lakes Burton or Rabun in Georgia. Gretchen is right, it may be hard finding a rental in October.

Audio specialist Sennheiser is launching its brand new XS Wireless Series at the 2012 NAMM Show. Designed for users who want to easily go wireless, this entry-level series offers complete sets with sturdy units, simple operation and high quality sound. The transmitters have a battery life of up to 10 hours, while a switching bandwidth of up to 24 MHz allows for flexibility in the choice of frequencies. The series is comprised of two vocal sets, an instrument system and presentation sets with clip-on microphone or a headmic.
"With the XS Wireless Series, Sennheiser offers reliability and quality sound at an entry-level price," explained Martin Fischer, Product Manager for Sennheiser's wireless systems. "It offers good value for money and will benefit small event and conference venues, houses of worship as well as bands, vocalists and musicians."
Wireless without fuss
The designers have focused on ease of use: the systems are operated via intuitive menus, they automatically search for free frequencies, and transmitters are synchronized with their receivers via a wireless link. "We wanted to make sure that users can fully concentrate on their performance, their speech, etc. without having to worry too much about the set-up and technology," Fischer said.
Extras for bands…
XS Wireless includes two systems for vocalists and one instrument set for guitarists. Vocalists can choose between a handheld with a super-cardioid condenser capsule and one that includes a genuine dynamic e 835 capsule. "The XSW 35 system takes the assertive sound of the cardioid e 835 to new user groups," Fischer added.
… and speakers
For installed sound applications and presentations, users can choose between systems with a handheld transmitter or a bodypack transmitter with either a head-worn mic or an unobtrusive clip-on microphone. Mute buttons on the handheld and the bodypack ensure that speakers are in control of the transmission.
Ruggedness and flexibility
To withstand the rigors of daily use, the true-diversity receiver is housed in a sturdy metal case. In the transmitters, one set of batteries will last for up to 10 hours—not only good for energetic stage shows, but also for long events and conferences. The systems feature freely tunable frequencies within a switching bandwidth of 24 MHz (13 MHz for the E frequency range). This allows up to 12 wireless links to be operated simultaneously, ensuring trouble-free operation even at somewhat larger events.

Nintendo explains E3 no show
Will stick to social networks
JAPANESE GAMING FIRM Nintendo has told the world why it won't be making a splash at the E3 games conference, and will instead put out its message through social networks.
It would be cruel to say that Nintendo does not have much to talk about. We already expect Mario Kart on its latest machine, so perhaps the firm is just hedging its bets, saving a bit of cash, and doing the "green thing" by not attending.
So, while Sony and Microsoft and just about every other games firm in the universe will descend on the E3 show, Nintendo will stay at home.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime explained the low key stance regarding the show in a video.
"Once again it is time for the E3 tradeshow," he said, saying that Nintendo has been closely watching comments about the firm and the show on Facebook and Twitter.
"We are always looking at new ways to amuse and delight," he added, explaining that the firm and its games will be at the show, but without a bells and whistles press conference.
"It'll be different, and it'll be better," he said, saying that rather than go to the show and present at a press conference, Nintendo will release videos to the internet instead.
After this first video, which shows users what games they can expect to see on Nintendo consoles, more videos will follow, including one that shows developer interviews, and another that offers a recap of Wii U games.
We can expect content videos, wrap up videos, and game trailers, according to the firm's US president, and a fun experience for people at the show and at home.
To ensure this, Nintendo is going to be all over Facebook, Youtube and Twitter during the conference, and will issue its messages from those websites direct to its fans. People in the US will also be able to go to Best Buy stores and try out Nintendo's latest game titles. µ

US condemns Hyderabad blast, offers assistance in probe Last Updated : 22 Feb 2013 07:39:46 AM IST File photo: US Secretary of State John Kerry
The United States on Thursday strongly condemned the terrorist bombings in Hyderabad that killed a dozen people and offered assistance in investigation if requested by the Indian government.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who is scheduled to meet visiting Foreign Secretary, Ranjan Mathai, in a few hours would also personally convey his condolences on the terrorist attacks in Hyderabad, his spokesperson told reporters at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department.
"We condemn the cowardly attack in Hyderabad, India, in the strongest possible terms, and we extend our deepest sympathies to those affected and to the people of India," the State Department spokesperson, Victoria Nuland, told reporters at her daily news conference.
"As you know, Secretary Kerry will have a chance to see Indian Foreign Secretary Mathai later this afternoon, and he will convey our sympathies in person and affirm our support for India during this difficult time," she said.

Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
As a life-long resident of the East Village for the last 54 years, I applaud the efforts of the Tompkins Square Park Concervancy to renovate. I believe the historic aesthetic and infrastructure construction is crucial to bringing the park to a 21st century level of integrity. Its improvements will pay long overdue respect to the community as a whole, from those who enjoy the peaceful retreat of its natural existence, to the growth of the neighborhood's value as a destination for people to come to live from all over the world.
As both the park and its surrounding neighborhood suffered from crippling dis-investment during the decades of the 1950s, 60s and 70s,
it's only fair that the park should be the nucleus of the neighborhood's attraction as well as an interest of re-investment in the neighborhood.
As I reflect on my own experience of when my mother brought me to play in the sandbox, I look at the children who enjoy the park today
and it brings a warmth to my heart. Someday they will be able to bring their own children to the park, and benefit from the efforts of what we can do for them today.
I ask all of my East Village friends and neighbors to join in the valiant efforts of the Concervancy and rally behind the vision of re-building this historic park to become the shining jewel that it was always intended to be. I'm so excited about the prospect of the re-construction, that I can't only wait for the project to start, but can't wait for the day it's finished!

One more item is itching to get out of my notepad after my trip to NCSL's annual meeting last week. I spoke with Michael Kellet, a representative of Scotland who works out of the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., promoting his homeland and forging links with American policymakers.
I asked him whether there was anything that struck him as strange about state governments in the States compared to Scottish government. He told me that the similarities outnumber the differences.
Both are responsible for many of the same things -- education, transportation, health care, etc. Like many states, Scotland is currently trying to position itself as a leader in promoting renewable fuels.
But the one thing that did strike Kellet as weird is that a state like Tennessee, with a population a few hundred thousand people larger than Scotland, could get by with a part-time legislature. He couldn't imagine Scotland doing the same.

Video: Rachel Maddow (and Boise, Idaho) rescoop Jeffco's Poop Fairy campaign
As we reported in Off Limits this week, MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow highlighted Jefferson County's infamous "There Is No Poop Fairy" public-service campaign campaign again last week. The county created the PSA last summer as a way to remind people who used the county's parks and open spaces to pick up after their dogs. And now the city of Boise, Idaho plans to use the idea as well.
Although the city is giving props to Jeffco, Maddow wants some credit as well. Here's Maddow's segment:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
And here's that back story on the campaign:
"Like the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, the fabled poop fairy has been the stuff of legend. Flying undetected in parks, neighborhoods and schoolyards, she was said to follow close behind dogs and their owners -- picking up what the dog left behind before flying off to the next canine creation. A widespread belief that she existed seemed to reassure some that cleaning up after one's dog was sort of...optional."
