We own a benefit haunted house we use this banner to advertise. It is a great value at a price you can afford. These banners are long lasting, this is the second time, I have purchased this type of banner, the last one lasted 6 years, it was not tore just faded, because we left it up ALL year around, and we live in the south and the summers are HOT!, so lasting 6 years out in the heat and it only had a little fading, i would say that these banners are very, very durable. If your looking for a great way to advertise, or just want a banner for that special event then, this is your product!

quote Forseen DeathExactly. But it would be funny to see Zack summons everyone he's battling, which would make them give him their powers, and then he kills them with those same powers. Just saying. Zack pwns man, its annoying with all these Cloud and Sephiroth fanboys saying they can't be beaten. *COUGHloversCough*zack has a bunch of specials he has gotten from other people like genesis,angeal,cloud,sephiroth,aerith,etc.,monsters like ifrit,specials including moogles.so if they got in a good fight he would start random summoning like crazy which also boosts his stats.we would not know who would win unless they fought but i vote zack fair

Table 2. New Hardware Supported on Cisco XR 12000 in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0
Note: Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0 is supported in the following chassis: Cisco XR 12004, 12404, 12006, 12406, 12010, 12410, 12810, 12016, 12416, and 12816.
Table 3. New Software Features Supported in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0 common to both the CRS-1 and the XR12000 series routers
Nonstop Routing (NSR) support for Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
LDP NSR functionality makes failures invisible to routing peers with minimal to no disruption of convergence performance. The failure situation can be either route processor (RP) or distributed route processor (DRP) failover. By default, NSR is globally enabled on all LDP sessions except Any Transport over MPLS (AToM).
NSR support for Open Shortest Path First Version 2 (OSPFv2)
NSR allows an RP failover, process restart, or in-service upgrade to be invisible to peer routers and helps ensure that there is minimal performance or processing impact. Routing protocol interactions between routers are not impacted by NSR. NSR is built on the warm standby extensions. NSR alleviates the requirement for Cisco NSF and IETF graceful restart protocol extensions.
Management Plane Protection
The Management Plane Protection (MPP) feature provides the capability to restrict the interfaces on which network management packets are allowed to enter a device. The MPP feature allows a network operator to designate one or more router interfaces as management interfaces. Device management traffic may enter a device only through these management interfaces. After MPP is enabled, no interfaces except designated management interfaces accept network management traffic destined to the device. In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.6.0, MPP is disabled by default, and the support includes the following:
• In-band interface can be configured to handle both management packets and data-forwarding packets
• RP Ethernet interface supported as default out-of-band interface
• Support for HTTP, HTTPS, SNMPv3, Telnet, SSH, and TFTP daemon (TFTPD) servers
QoS Policy Propagation using BGP (QPPB)
The QoS policy propagation via Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) feature allows packet classification based on access lists, BGP community lists, and BGP autonomous system (AS) paths. The supported modification policies include setting the Internet Protocol (IP) precedence and tagging the packet with a QoS class identifier internal to the router (QoS Group ID). After a packet has been classified, you can use other QoS features such as Policing and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) to specify and enforce business policies to fit the business model.
BGP policy propagation provides the following benefits:
• Allows packet classification based on access lists, community lists, and AS paths.
• Uses BGP to distribute QoS policy to remote routers in your network.
• Allows ingress routers to prioritize incoming and outgoing traffic.
• Allows packet classification based on IP precedence or QoS group ID.
IP-MIB with 64-bit counters support
64-bit counter is supported in IP-MIB
IP SLA enhancement
IP SLA enhancement
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) Tree trace support
• LSP ping and trace automation
• Support for Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV) for pseudowire
• ECMP support
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
SCTP is a reliable datagram oriented IP transport protocol specified by RFC 2960. It provides the layer between an SCTP user application and an unreliable end-to-end datagram service such as IP. The basic service offered by SCTP is the reliable transfer of user datagrams between peer SCTP users. It performs this service within the context of an association between two SCTP hosts. SCTP is connection-oriented, but SCTP association is a broader concept than the TCP connection, for example.
SCTP provides the means for each SCTP endpoint to provide its peer with a list of transport addresses, such as address and UDP port combinations. This list is provided during association startup and shows the transport addresses through which the endpoint can be reached and from which messages originate. The SCTP association includes transfer over all the possible source and destination combinations that might be generated from the two endpoint lists (also known as multihoming).
SCTP is not explicitly configured on routers, but it underlies several Cisco applications.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) sham-link support
In an MPLS VPN environment, several VPN client sites can be connected in the same OSPF area. If these sites are connected over a backdoor link (intra-area link) and connected over the VPN backbone, all traffic passes over the backdoor link instead of over the VPN backbone, because provider-edge (PE) routers advertise OSPF routes learned over the VPN backbone as inter-area or external routes that are less preferred than intra-area routes advertised over backdoor links.
To correct this default OSPF behavior in an MPLS VPN, configure a sham link between two PE routers to connect the sites through the MPLS VPN backbone. A sham link represents an intra-area (unnumbered point-to-point) connection between PE routers. All other routers in the area see the sham link and use it to calculate intra-area shortest path first (SPF) routes to the remote site. A cost must be configured with each sham link to determine whether traffic is sent over the backdoor link or sham link.
BGP Prefix Independent Convergence
Provides the ability to converge BGP routes within sub-seconds instead of multiple seconds. The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is updated, independent of a prefix, to converge multiple 100K BGP routes with the occurrence of a single failure. This convergence is applicable to both core and edge failures and with or without MPLS. This fast convergence innovation is unique to Cisco IOS XR Software.
Disk Mirroring support
The route processor (RP) card in Cisco IOS XR platforms has a primary storage device that is used to store installation packages and configuration files. This primary storage device is referred to as the primary boot device and is essential for booting the RP and its normal operation.
Disk mirroring replicates the critical data on the primary boot device onto another storage device on the same RP, henceforth referred to the secondary device. If the primary boot device fails, applications continue to be serviced transparently by the secondary device, thereby avoiding a switchover to the standby RP. The failed primary storage device can be replaced or repaired without disruption of service.
Table 4. New Software Features Supported in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0 on the Cisco CRS-1 Routers
Cisco CRS-1 4+4 multi-chassis system support
The Cisco CRS-1 multi-chassis system can support 4 LC chassis (LCC) and up to 4 fabric chassis (can be either 1, 2, or 4) in Cisco IOS XR Release 3.6.0.
CISCO-OTN-IF-MIB support
CISCO-OTN-IF-MIB is supported.
Ethernet-over-MPLS (EoMPLS) Remote Ethernet Port Shutdown (1GE, 10GE)
Ethernet remote port shutdown provides a mechanism for the detection and propagation of remote link failure for port mode EoMPLS on a Cisco CRS-1 line card.
This lets a service provider edge router on the local end of an EoMPLS pseudowire detect a cross-connect or remote link failure and cause the shutdown of the Ethernet port on the local customer edge router.
Shutting down the Ethernet port on the local customer edge router prevents or mitigates a condition where that router would otherwise lose data by forwarding traffic continuously to the remote failed link, especially if the link were configured as a static IP route.
Interface and Layer 4 field hashing support for Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP)
Load balancing describes the functionality in a router that distributes packets across multiple links based on Layer 3 (network layer) and Layer 4 (transport layer) routing information. If the router discovers multiple paths to a destination, the routing table is updated with multiple entries for that destination.
In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0, the following fields are considered for flow load balancing:
• Layer 3 routing Information
• Source IP address
• Destination IP address
• Protocol
• Layer 4 routing Information
• Source port
• Destination port
• Cisco CRS-1 platform-specific information
• Router ID
• Ingress interface handle
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE)-Policy Routing onto MPLS TE Tunnels
Policy-based tunnel selection (PBTS) provides a mechanism that lets you direct traffic into specific TE tunnels based on different criteria. PBTS will benefit ISPs that carry voice and data traffic through their MPLS networks and MPLS VPNs and that want to route this traffic to provide optimized voice service.
PBTS works by selecting tunnels based on the classification criteria of the incoming packets, which are based on the IP precedence, EXP, or ToS field in the packet. When there are no paths with a default class configured, this traffic is forwarded using the paths with the lowest class value.
MPLS TE Preferred Path
Preferred tunnel path functionality lets you map pseudowires to specific TE tunnels. Attachment circuits are cross-connected to specific MPLS TE tunnel interfaces instead of remote PE router IP addresses (reachable using IGP or LDP).
Using preferred tunnel path, it is always assumed that the TE tunnel that transports the Layer 2 traffic runs between the two PE routers (that is, its head starts at the imposition PE router and its tail terminates on the disposition PE router).
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) NetFlow for IPv6 labeled packets
NetFlow can collect information from MPLS packets with IPv6 fields.
Table 5. New Software Features Supported in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0 on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers
IPsec VPN SPA solution enhancements
64,000 tunnel scale
Single-Security Association (SA) support for interoperability with remote Easy VPN (EZVPN) clients in Network Extension Mode (NEM)
Configurable metrics for Reverse Route Injection (RRI)
Object tracking for interface and routes
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policy selection: Allow Data Encryption Standard/Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES/3DES) selection enforcement
SVI scale: 1000 per LC, 3,500 per chassis
Support for MPLS VPNs over IP Tunnels: Inter-AS and Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) support
The MPLS VPNs over IP Tunnels feature introduces the capability to deploy Layer 3 VPN services, as proposed in RFC 2547, and BGP/MPLS VPNs over an IP core network using Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3) multipoint tunneling instead of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
CSC is implemented in circumstances in which one service provider needs to use the transport services provided by another service provider. The service provider that provides the transport is called the backbone carrier. The service provider that uses the services provided by the backbone carrier is called a customer carrier. Backbone carriers with CSC bridge two or more customer carrier sites through an MPLS VPN/MPLS-VPN-over-IP-tunnels backbone.
Inter Autonomous System (Inter-AS) feature allows a VPN to span service providers and autonomous systems. It provides a solution when VPNs reside on different autonomous systems in different geographic areas. It also helps situations when some VPNs need to extend across multiple service providers (overlapping VPNs). Regardless of the complexity and location of the VPNs, the connection between autonomous systems must be transparent to the customer.
Layer 2 VPN support for Frame Relay interfaces (Frame Relay over MPLS)
With Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) for Frame Relay, customer Frame Relay traffic can be encapsulated in MPLS packets and forwarded to destinations required by the customer. Cisco AToM allows service providers to quickly add new sites with less effort than typical Frame Relay provisioning.
QoS classification based on ACL Deny
The ACL Deny feature takes into account the action associated with the access list entry (permit or deny), treating the deny action in an ACL differently from the permit action. The access control entry (ACE) permit and deny actions in an access group within a class map are classified differently. Traffic matching an ACL with a deny action skips the class map and attempts to match subsequent classes. If there is no deny ACE for an ACL, the packet skips to the next class.
Multicast forwarding with byte-based weighted RED (WRED)
Multicast forwarding with byte-based WRED support is now available for the ISE (Engine 3) line cards.
Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR) support
MLFR support is now available for the SPA-1XCHSTM1/OC3, SPA-2XCT3, and SPA-4XCT3 shared port adapters.
Frame Relay Fragmentation Implementation Agreement (FRF.12)
FRF.12 support is now available for the SPA-1XCHSTM1/OC3, SPA-2XCT3, and SPA-4XCT3 shared port adapters.
Maintenance Data Link (MDL) and DS-3 Subrate
MDL and DS-3 Subrate support is now available for the SPA-1XCHOC12/DS0 and SPA-1XCHOC48/DS3 shared port adapters.
Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI)
LFI support is now available for the SPA-1XCHOC12/DS0 shared port adapters.
Link Bundling support for GE SPAs and 10GE SPAs
The following features support are added over link bundling using GE SPAs and 10GE SPAs on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers: VLAN, NetFlow, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Loose Mode uRPF, and Multicast (Native IPv6 Multicast) support.
In-Chassis License Management and Upgrade for Modular Multirate SIP (12000-SIP-401, 12000-SIP-501, and 12000-SIP-601)
The default throughput for the Cisco XR 12000-SIP-401 is 2.5 Gbps and for the Cisco XR 12000-SIP-501 is 5 Gbps. The Cisco XR 12000-SIP-401 can be configured to run at 5 Gbps using a single 2.5-Gbps to 5-Gbps license. The Cisco XR 12000-SIP-401 can be configured to run at 10 Gbps, using a single 2.5-Gbps to 10-Gbps license, or using a 2.5-Gbps to 5-Gbps license together with a 5-Gbps to 10-Gbps license. A Cisco XR 12000-SIP-501 can be configured to run at 10 Gbps, using a single 5-Gbps to 10-Gbps license. The Cisco XR 12000-SIP-601 operates at 10-Gbps throughput by default and does not require any additional configuration or license.

To the Editor:—
Although there have been references to the use of diuretics for the relief of pulmonary edema,1, 2 mannitol has not been specifically indicated as an agent. My own experience with this drug at Sunland Hospital (a 1,000-bed hospital for severely retarded, permanently nonambulatory, and physically handicapped patients) suggests that mannitol may be of significant value in the management of pulmonary edema.I have administered experimentally 100 to 500 ml of mannitol intravenously to 51 patients suffering from preterminal pulmonary edema of various causes. Most interesting and significant were the results in six patients with bronchopneumonia with secondary pulmonary edema that was considered irreversible. In these patients, diuresis began 30 minutes after treatment with mannitol and was followed by a rapid decrease in pulmonary congestion with respiratory exchange improving to such an extent that the patients showed a definite, unexpected recovery.

Simple network management provisioning based on quality of experience feedback
Document typeConference report
Date issued2010
Rights accessOpen Access
This paper presents a promising Autonomic Network Management System (ANMS) that allows Service Providers (SPs) to perform efficient network resource provisioning with their Network Operators (NOs). The novelty of our ANMS is that it offers an starting point to use the end-users perceived quality as a metric to manage the network resources. We show that our system is capable of achieving considerable reductions in the operational costs of SPs, while keeping proper bounds in the end-user satisfaction for the offered multimedia services.

He touched the envelope on the table. 'You mentioned that you worked as a researcher for the War Crimes Tribunal.'
'I wanted to ensure that those who were responsible were punished. I wanted to see that justice was done.'
'You think I am a fool? It was not all about justice.'
'It was the only way that I would be allowed to examine the court documents and official records,' I said. 'I was searching for information about my camp. I wanted to find where my sister was buried.'
His eyes narrowed. 'You didn't know where your camp was located?'
'We were blindfolded when the Japs – when the Japanese – transported us there. It was somewhere deep in the jungle. That was all we knew.'
'The other survivors from your camp, what happened to them?' A butterfly trembled over the cannas by the verandah. It finally alighted on a leaf, its wings closing together in prayer.
'There were no other survivors.'
There was something really compelling about The Garden of Evening Mists, but despite what you might expect from the above quotation, it was not the plot. In fact, if the book had solely carried its message on the back of the plot, I would not have enjoyed this at all. On the face of it, the plot seems about the atrocities of war, the destruction of peoples lives by it, as well as the damage that is caused by hatred and the longing for revenge, and how difficult it is to not just survive, but live, having experienced all of this.
'They couldn't kill me when we were at war. And they couldn't kill me when I was in the camp,' he said finally, his voice subdued. 'But holding on to my hatred for forty-six years . . . that would have killed me.'
I should say, that the only reason that this would not have worked well for me as a plot because I would constantly wonder about the real life stories that the author may have been inspired by, and then would lose interest in fictional accounts of this if there are biographies that would give a factual account. What can I say, I like historical non-fiction.
However, as mentioned, there is more to the story - I really enjoyed that the book actually changes with every vignette that is disclosed to the reader. What appeared as fact, what I learned about the story and the characters, changes with every new revelation, so much like the chosen subject of the book:
'Gardens like Yugiri's are deceptive. They're false. Everything here has been thought out and shaped and built. We're sitting in one of the most artificial places you can find.'
On a related and similar note, the story also gives insight into parts of history that aren't usually the focus on popular novels. I loved this. While the main story is set in post-war Malaysia and the main character reflects back on the time of Malaya during the Japanese occupation, Tan Twan Eng also weaves in facts about the colonial regimes in both Malaya and South Africa, and the struggle of the Boers with the British. It's another aspect, or perspective that is reflected in the novels construct of the Garden - the characters describe historical facts by focusing the reader's attention on the characters' backstory, and it works.
'Tominaga explained it to me,' I said. 'But I've only just really understood it now – the effect of seeing the view is much more powerful than if the sea has not been obstructed.'
The Garden of Evening Mists may not be the most in-depth work of historical fiction - much of the story is taken up by gardening and (way too much) discussions about gardening - but it makes up for it with vivid descriptions that transported me back to Tanah Rata and the surrounding Cameron Highlands, an area that I enjoyed exploring a few years ago. And of course, the mention of the local tea meant I needed to read the book with a cup close by. Book, tea, memories.
Before me lies a voyage of a million miles, and memory is the moonlight I will borrow to illuminate my way.
Cameron Highlands near Tanah Rata, where the novel is set.
This book is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read!
Wonderful story that is beautifully written. I learned a lot about Malaysia to boot.

The Garden of Evening Mists- Tan Eng
Audio version performed by Anna Bentinck
5 stars
"Memories I had locked away have begun to break free, like shards of ice fracturing off an arctic shelf. In sleep, these broken floes drift toward the morning light of remembrance."
When Yun Ling first comes to Yugiri in the decade following World War Two she remembers her sister's death and their three years in a Japanese death camp. When she returns to Yugiri 40 years later, she remembers Aritomo. Aritomo, once the Japanese emperor's gardener, created Yugiri, the Garden of Evening Mists. The garden was designed and built before the war in the Camaron Highlands of Malaya. Yun Ling has spent most of her life trying to forget, but as her aging brain threatens to erase her memories forever, she begins to record her story.
This is an intricate, layered story that worked beautifully on every level. The prose is poetic and suited to the exotic location. As the story develops, it is filled with details about Japanese gardens, woodblock printing, and surprisingly, tattoos. The characters are flawed, complex, and very real. They are people who grapple with devastating loss, survivor guilt, divided loyalties, and dangerous secrets. In the end some of the secrets are revealed. Some of the truth will never be completely revealed. Despite the lack of definitive answers, the ending of the book felt entirely correct.
Anna Bentinck's performance of this book was outstanding. She handled all of the character voices and accents perfectly. I was especially impressed that she was able to maintain a consistent voice for Yun Ling while perceptibly aging the voice for the different time periods of the narrative.
The language is as lush as the landscape he seeks to describe. His prose is punctuated with clever imagery; in reuniting with Teoh, Eng brilliantly describes Frederick's wry reaction "A smile skims across his face, capsizing an instant later."
Though on the whole the descriptive narrative was attractive, at times more concision might have saved it from becoming overwrought, as in my view it was, and rather frustratingly holding back what was otherwise a compelling and unique story.
As in his first novel, The Gift of Rain, Tan employs exotic settings and mystical aspects of Japanese culture to drive his narrative. But this time the effect is darker. Aritomo's mastery of the art of shakkei - "Borrowed Scenery" - initially seems enlightened, but as we come to question his true motives for absconding to this obscure backwater, it appears increasingly deceptive.
Though later plot elements surrounding a search for buried wartime treasure do not always complement the atmosphere Tan has carefully constructed, this is a beautiful, dark and wistful exploration of loss and remembrance that, appropriately, will stay with you long after reading.
This novel ticks many boxes: its themes are serious, its historic grounding solid, its structure careful, its old-fashioned ornamentalism respectable. The reason I found it impossible to love is the quality of the writing. There is no discernible personality in the dutiful, dull voice of Yun Ling, and non-events stalk us on every page: "for a timeless moment I looked straight into his eyes"; "For a long while he does not say anything. Finally he begins to speak in a slow, steady voice." The self-conscious dialogue resembles a history lesson collated for the benefit of the western reader, and everything is ponderously "like" something else, so it takes twice as long: "We were like two moths around a candle, circling closer and closer to the flames, waiting to see whose wings would catch fire first." Despite the dramatic events, the overall effect is one of surprising blandness, like something you've read before.
This is a good old-fashioned story with a plot that arcs gracefully, maintains suspense, and stays true to characterisation. Yun Ling's independent spirit and her anger seep like ink-stains into the narrative, but its distilled essence is a quieter appraisal of the dichotomy of memory, its treacherous failures, its cruel conveniences, its fadeout and deliverance. Outside Magnus's house are two statues—one is of Mnemosyne the goddess of memory and the other is of her twin sister, the goddess of forgetting, whose name, of course, has been forgotten.
Here, too, the garden is the conceit. "A garden borrows from the earth, the sky, and everything around it, but you borrow from time," Yun Ling accuses Aritomo, "Your memories are a form of shakkei too. You bring them in to make your life here feel less empty. Like the mountains and the clouds over your garden, you can see them, but they will always be out of reach." The garden that Yun Ling intends to make is about more than a desire to preserve the memory of her sister, though, for in many ways, it was the idea of this garden that kept the sisters hopeful through their long internment. The Japanese garden, with its many deceptions and beauties, becomes a well-formed metaphor for the ways in which our lives are lived.
Aritomo, the enigmatic former gardener to the Emperor of Japan who glides through Tan Twan Eng's second novel, tells his female apprentice in the Cameron Highlands of early-1950s Malaya that "Every aspect of gardening is a form of deception".
Just the same applies, you might argue, to the art of fiction, with its incomplete points-of-view and deceptive trompe d'oeil vistas. Tan's story here is just as elegantly planted as his Man Booker-long listed debut The Gift of Rain, and even more tantalisingly evocative.
Suffused with a satisfying richness of colour and character, it still abounds in hidden passageways and occult corners. Mysteries and secrets persist. Tan dwells often on the borderline states, the in between areas, of Japanese art: the archer's hiatus before the arrow speeds from the bow; the patch of skin that a master of the horimono tattoo will leave bare; or the "beautiful and sorrowful" moment "just as the last leaf is about to drop".

"Malaya, 1951. Yun Ling Teoh, the scarred lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, seeks solace among the jungle-fringed tea plantations of Cameron Highlands. There she discovers Yugiri, the only Japanese garden in Malaya, and its owner and creator, the enigmatic Aritomo, exiled former gardener of the emperor of Japan. Despite her hatred of the Japanese, Yun Ling seeks to engage Aritomo to create a garden in memory of her sister, who died in the camp. Aritomo refuses but agrees to accept Yun Ling as his apprentice "until the monsoon comes." Then she can design a garden for herself. As the months pass, Yun Ling finds herself intimately drawn to the gardener and his art, while all around them a communist guerilla war rages. But the Garden of Evening Mists remains a place of mystery. Who is Aritomo and how did he come to leave Japan? And is the real story of how Yun Ling managed to survive the war perhaps the darkest secret of all?"--P. [4] of cover.… (more)

makes me curious about how g+ will really effect the social media scene
Vincent WongShared publicly -
What G+ is really about (pst!!! it's not social)
178 comments
Justin Cook
Why are you digging deep to find something g+ is about? Google have the best engineers. They gave us search, email, bought picasa and youtube, gave us the Awesome android. They are simply tying their apps together in a integrated interface. They want to keep their products current. Otherwise they will become a dinosaur. Don't dream up ridiculous theories.
Yes, G+ is about integrating all Google apps from Web Search to Docs into the social landscape.
Vincent Wong
+Justin Cook integrating apps together isn't that easy, not because of technical reason, but and mostly because of politics. I imagine products are normally owned by different teams, each wanting control over their own turf. Meetings and meetings and meetings later, you normally get a Frankenstein version rather than a clean polished product. It's rare to see unity in companies this big and I'm excited to see Google coming round.
Vincent, you have got it well wrapped up. Was having a similar thought all these years that i was using all apps, now, they are all tied together, almost like the days of web-portals, but much better, and futuristic!!!
@Vincent Wong :Lightbulb: This makes SO much sense, especially from the android angle.
The only thing left to worry about is when will it become self-aware. Google+ is Skynet.
Ummm.....so why wasn't a Google presentation made and then just simply shared? Wasn't that one of the major points in this album??
+DragonDon . you got me, right now Google Docs isn't ready for making nice presentations. I can only assume this is in the pipeline. Give them some time, they're only 2 weeks into their launch!
It was interesting and I have passed it along to give those who thing this is just another FB.
Great presentation. Is it better that there's multiple instances of this being passed around creating micro conversations or worse that it's breaking the chain of collaboration?
+Jacopo GIOLA You know i suggested that you could blog with G+ and someone said it wouldn't be any good? He should do that for real, if its truly possible!

I've seen demos of Google employees creating pretty nifty presentations with Docs (years back when they launched it). I think most people just don't know how to maximize its potential, myself included. +dragondon +vincent wong
Elliot C
Vincent, thank you for putting this brilliant presentation together. I think you nailed it!
Incredibly insightful and encompassing. Will be sharing a lot. Kudos to you Monsieur Wong :)
Same as always, the greatest thing since sliced bread... six months later whine whine whine... I'm still happy with Twitter and Facebook and my blog... G+ is the new kid, a new toy, it seems good now and I think I'll make good use of it but I'll be hearing whines till Diaspora pops out... It's the circle of liiiiiife.
Great way to communicate and interact with so many people. I believe the best part of the presentation is that everyone has freedom to write whenever and wherever they wish too. They also can just select a portion of it and use it. And the most superb part is this vertical column besides every single slide (image) that makes it live and interesting. Thanks a lot Mr. +Vincent Wong.
It is a walled Google garden. Unless Google allows third partys to run their own G+ service (take the analogy of running Email SMTP services), what you outlined here remains a pipe dream.
Great presentation!, very informative and complete. Only time say us if google+ beat to facebook and twitter.
Nice one, looks like a good and probable strategy. Google is not the best in everything, but it's becoming the only place that actually hás everything. A lot of the services do or can complement each other, which increases the value of the total.
Interesting. The angle you're not seeing is the effect of +1/sharing on search results.
One of the things you don't cover, between streams and live feeds. Facebook does everything and does it poorly. AIM/Yahoo came up with better chat a decade ago. Their messages pale to e-mail. Their photo hosting sucks. Their feed filters people out using magic goo no one understands. Twitter shows you everything and you can use a Twitter app to filter things the way you want. Google streams don't have a mysterious filter. You chose your filters, your circles. People are sick of the filter bubble. People are sick of FB's crappy services. The only thing FB does well is connect people. Google+ is bringing their top services into an arena that will connect people.
Great storytelling. Google Apps still aren't easy enough to use and learn for the average person. When I collaborate on a project, I try to get the other people to agree to use Dropbox or Google Docs or some central cloud storage point, but still there are tons of people who can't figure out how to use and so rely on (argh!) email.
Excellent album. So g+ is actually going into a blue market hu? I feel silly for not thinking of it like this sooner.
I think these are all very astute observations. Ultimately, I think we all benefit if all technology companies are in a state of ongoing "unease." This provides them the motivation to create better products. As a result, we all win.
Real innovation comes from other incentives (read non-monetary in the first place) as numerous studies have shown. The "unease" may help for short term innovations but not in the long run and not for profoundly new things.
So, did you make this whole thing with Google Spreadsheet and share it with Google+? Wow!
Fun presentation, thanks for making it. One point to note is that G+ is so early in its development, it's hard to compare it to other social media's at the moment
I like the presentation. The funny thing is anyone will succeed at making a new era of social networking it will be Google.
This kinda scares me- I just hope Google remains a 'gateway' to the Internet and doesn't try to BE the Internet...one company that owns all our personal media is a little frightening (especially once we all own Google chrome laptops and android smartphones that only run on the cloud...)
Great analysis. I thought it was awesome just following a presentation like this with great commentary. Thanks!
It's grand to have a completely integrated platform and that is what G+ is all about, adding the missing link to complete the circle of apps Google has to offer. Social.
I apologize if I am intruding, but I really like the points you have made.
Helps put things in perspective.
Thank you very much.
Helps put things in perspective.
Thank you very much.
Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing... Google+ is definitely about social collaboration. i have already seen this happen since I joined the new world!
Great slideshow! And google docs has great opportunity for presentations! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt9F7tKcZcU&feature=player_embedded
People are pretty slow to switch social media platforms and I am still having some trouble understanding the RO(time)I for this - ppl aren' just going to delete their FB accounts and switch over completely... so much upkeep!
Freaking awesome! I thought I was excited by google + before. Wow is all I gt to say
This was the most dramatic presentation I've ever seen. Lol. There are so many flaws in that argument that all I could do was laugh
What a great presentation...sure is starting to make sense (peaking at the future of Google+'s potential) Nice work!
Great post! Everbody who reads this carefully will be steps ahead. Where do you think google shopping will be?
Nice work, but I'm convinced this is at least as much about keeping Facebook in check. Google's bread and butter is advertising, and both the place where people hang out (FB vs GOOG) as well as how much context you know (Social vs Page Rank) have huge influence on return on Ad Spend. Google simply could not afford to let FB continue to steal "Face time".
Outstanding presentation. But remember Google's whole objective is to sell advertising to a targeted market. The more information they gather, the better they can target their market. I'm certain a huge part of this endeavor is to tap into a new outlet from which they can continue to profile us.
I had this figured out. I Love using google products. They need to integrate Voice into +. I have to keep two tabs open to check my texts.
I still find it hard to integrate everything considering I fear being over-reliant on Google alone, and yet I am increasingly so.
I find your prepositions rather dansrychofaldian in the extreme, and expect a higher standard of presentation, as well as cute flash graphs, and pretty-colored flow charts, including cute little bunnies, and auto-tuned electronica themes providing jumpy beats in the background, dude. Step up your game.
...annnnnd you just used it to make a power point presentation into my face. You rock and G+ rocks. Yay world =)
Exciting stuff... Collaboration is key... What will win is to form mastermind groups for networking and learning and developing long term relationships.... Face to face...l bringing online offline
Great insight, reconfirms my decision to jump in when I did. Google (+) clearly isn't going anywhere, irrespective of what Facebook does. Plus its sheer connectivity could mean that it ultimately becomes indispensable. +Vincent Wong
From Singapore - 你好! Nicely done slides with a fascinating look at the issue of Google+. Thanks!
Great way of using photos as a powerpoint - enlightened, love the integration of Red vs. Blue Strategy - practically though, takes a lot to move focus from FB to G+
Thank you for this slideshow but please elaborate on how google+ supposedly fixes colaborations?

Is it the beginning of the end for Serena Williams?
Three shots at glory—a 22nd Slam—all gone a-begging.
The US Open last year would have made it a genuine Grand Slam—all four big guns in a calendar year.
It was not to be.
And the next two Slam finals have only seen Serena fall by the wayside to her younger opponents—German Angelique Kerber and Spaniard Garbine Muguruza.
American tennis is on the wane and Serena—their last bastion—is losing her glitter too.
Yes, Serena is not getting any younger. She's 34—and she's treading the path that Roger Federer has over the last four years—still competitive but not a real contender.
At least, Federer had the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka to reckon with.
Williams has no such excuse. She's still No.1 and she's expected to dominate her younger opponents.
Is it a mental thing? Is there some fragility , some frailty, not apparent earlier?
It would appear so—every opponent now has the belief that on their day, they can bring the 21-time champion to ground level from her previous stratospheric heights.
Are we being too harsh, too critical already?
Most top 10 women players would give an arm and a limb to have the same kind of results Serena has achieved in the past three Slams.
Yes, Serena's vulnerable but there's also a possibility that she can snatch a bigger slice of history once Wimbledon begins in another three weeks.
Lush green grass will tell.
Nick Kyrgios is young and stupid.
He's an ass.
A sorry ass but nevertheless an ass.
A sledge went awry and suddenly the bad boy of Australian tennis is the scourge of the gallant game.
Australian cricketers, perhaps, could teach the young man the intricacies of gamesmanship.
"Nick, don't indulge in sledging with your front to the camera specifically with your voice audible to the on-court microphone. We could have easily told you that, mate!"
The insult was grave; it also needlessly involved a third party and a fourth, both of whom had very little to do with the battle in the center.
Kyrgios dragged Wawrinka's current girlfriend Croatian Donna Vekic and Nick's compatriot and doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis into a sordid war of words.
Wawrinka recently separated from his wife and is now dating Vekic.
Vekic is a younger, blonder version of Maria Sharapova or Caroline Wozniacki or both or so the marketing geniuses at the WTA would have us believe.
She's currently ranked 127th in the world.
Stan, the Man, was quick to respond to the hothead's slurs taking to Twitter calling for swift action from the ATP.
The Swiss star revealed that he later confronted the Aussie in the locker room.
He said:
"He tried to avoid me, but I confronted him. I just hope that the ATP will take big measures against him because he's young maybe, but there's no excuse. Every match he has problems. Every match he behaves very badly. On top of that the problem is that he doesn't just behave badly towards himself he behaves very badly towards the people around: the other players, the ball kids, the umpires. I really hope the ATP will take major action against him this time."
Kokkinakkis was linked to Vekic in 2013 but has laughed off any such rumours of them being a pair except on court.
@everythingtaboo @DonnaVekic hahahhahahahhahahahahahhahaha—
Thanasi Kokkinakis (@TKokkinakis) April 28, 2013
Kyrgios was fined $10,000 for his remark by the ATP.
This is the highest fine allowed for an offense for bad behaviour while playing.
Novak Djokovic reacted:
"I think it is very important to keep the fairness in the sport. There is no excuse for what he has said."
Kyrgios posted an apology on Facebook for his fans:
Members of the Kyrgios family have not made it easy for their starling.
Nill Kyrgios, Nick's mother, speaking to Fairfax Media, said:
"It's not a nice thing to say, it's not, but you can't always cop it on the chin from other people without retaliating. If you give people lip then you've got to receive some back. You know that Stan did say that Nick was faking an injury last time they played and Nick was actually very sick (with asthma). So there was no love lost there to start with. We let it go, we didn't comment on Stan's comment. That's still in Nick's head, so the minute that Stan starts giving Nick cheek, what do you think will happen? He'll say whatever comes to his mind that will upset the guy."
The Greek-Australian's elder brother Christos was dumped from an interview with Sydney radio station Triple M.
Christos continued to make derogatory remarks about Wawrinka's love interest Vekic.
The sibling appears to have said that Vekic "loved the 'kokk'".
Christos then went onto Facebook to update his online pals.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
"'So just did a media interview for nick. Said Donna obviously loved the 'kokk' they cut my interview and said its the worst thing they have ever heard on air. Ah cheers."
Friends posted messages laughing at his comment, before Christos responded:
'Hahahah f**k me who cares if the women likes a root – good on her, jump on the Kokk then on the stanimal IDC!! All I know it Nicholas Hilmy Kyrgios the king fried his ass.'"
In other reports, it is discovered that Kygrios delivered another barb at Wawrinka during the Rogers Cup match that he won.
He added another innuendo saying:
"He's banging a nineteen-year-old."
Much as we would all like to believe that these Kyrgios reprehensible actions are aberrations and there will be no such repetition of such obnoxious behaviour or attitude on-court or off, it is hard to believe that the young Australian can be reined in without an older, calming influence on him.
It is also clear that such a service can hardly be expected from his emotional family members who clamber on the train wreck that is Nick Kyrgios at full throttle.
It's true that family is expected to stand together. But there has to be a line drawn at atrocious behaviour. While the Kygrios contingent is right to point out the history behind the provocation, Nick had no right to embroil Vekic or Thanasi in the drama. His mother and brother may be emotionally and financially invested in Nick's success or failure in the sport but that does not allow them to dictate terms to the ATP or tennis fans.
Kyrgios was right to issue an apology and pay his fine. No further defense or excuses are needed. Social media fury is short-lived. The Australian has a glittering future awaiting him if he grabs his chances.
Lleyton Hewitt is believed to be mentoring the excitable talent. But is he the best person for the job? Hewitt himself was and is an atypical Aussie believed to be too intense and too much of a scrapper on court.
The question then is:
Who'll bell the cat?
I thought I was going to be writing an article on whether Career Grand Slams have become de rigueur in the current age of tennis or we are blessed to have three to four outstanding players converge on the sport in the same era.
It was not to be.
Stanislas Wawrinka (va-vreeng-kah) had other thoughts.
The Swiss No. 2 (he'll probably be No. 1 this week) defeated the World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in four sets on a Sunday afternoon in Paris.
He is no longer a one-Slam wonder.
Aficionados might have cribbed that his first Slam, the Australian Open in 2014, was handed him on a platter. A favourable draw and an injured Nadal were the variables that worked to his advantage.
But very few can begrudge him his second Slam. Djokovic may not have had enough time to recover from a grueling semi-final. But the Swiss had to fight hard to get to the finals, ousting his idol Federer on the way.
Wawrinka recently ended his marriage to Swiss TV presenter Ilham Vuilloud.
Wawrinka said:
"We have enjoyed ten fulfilling years, with all the ups and downs that every couple experiences, but sometimes life is more challenging than one would hope.
Ilham and I were both blessed to create a family when our wonderful daughter Alexia was born in 2010. We have always tried to live our lives as a team and as a family, despite the challenges we have faced due to the demands of my career. To my great regret this isn't possible anymore.
Ilham will always be the mother of my daughter and a person that I have a lot of love and respect for. We will always remain as a family. Now my priority is to do everything to protect Alexia during these challenging times.
I hope that the fans and the media will understand that I've always been very protective of my private life and wish to continue to do so not giving any further information about the situation."
Nice guys do not have to always finish last.
What he said:
If Stan wants me to do some push-ups to pump him up, I'll do that, if he wants me to sleep on the floor of his bed[room] I'll do that, to keep him warm as we're both missing our children and stuff, so whatever he wants me to do I'm relaxed at this point. I'll be here tomorrow of course – except if he doesn't want me.
Roger Federer was ready to do almost anything to help his Davis Cup teammate, Stanislas Wawrinka, clinch his tie against Lleyton Hewitt. Wawrinka needed just six points to win his five setter on Monday, 19th September, 2011. Switzerland beat Australia in Australia—the final score read 3-2.
What he really meant:
"No Mirka, no kids, just us guys. It ought to have been an enjoyable guys outing Down Under but we're home buddies now.Stan, let's get back home—pronto."
What he definitely didn't:
"Stan and I are gonna yodel into the night and read out aloud our kids' favourite bedtime tale 'Heidi'."
"In tennis terms Donald Young became a man today."
Patrick McEnroe's tweet following Young's five-set upset of Stanislas Wawrinka in the second round of the US Open.
What he really meant:
"Note I only said 'in tennis terms'. Not, in general attitude or demeanour."
What he definitely didn't:
"What a @#$*()& great result for US Tennis. You get the drift, don't you?"
What he said:
"It was jogging shoes with jeans and a practice shirt, now I dress more accordingly to where I'm going and have started taking a joy in putting on suits. Maybe I have 25 or 35 [suits], I'm not sure. I think it's important to offer something different to the fans and important you enjoy it, and I do."
Roger Federer lets us know that his fashion sense has matured over the years together with his game and 16 majors.
What he really meant:
"Come on, folks, I have to spend all those dollars somewhere and why not on nice clothes? 35? Is that too much for a multi-millionaire?"
What he definitely didn't:
"The stuff I wear on court are all gratis, anyway."
Novak Djokovic played spoilsport at the 2011 Australian Open annexing his second major after a dry spell of three years.
Sportswriters were forced to scramble to change the headlines they had imagined citing either a Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer triumph. They had to reinvent their catch-phrases.(Damn you, Djokovic!)
The Serb's victory was welcomed as the emergence of the Third Force.
The fallout was swift. In a rush to hail the rise of the young brigade, 'tennis pundits' were quick to pronounce death sentence on the Federer- Nadal rivalry.
It may soon be a case of the doomsayers having to eat their words all over again.
However, they are not totally wrong.
Image via Wikipedia
"I have no idea. Sorry. I have no idea why."
What he really meant:
I don't know why Europeans dominate tennis right now. I just play, man, don't bother me.
What he definitely didn't:
The Europeans have stolen the Americans' and Australians' spinach and will keep popping them in the eye.
(Popeye refrain "I's bin hornswoggled!" in background.)
Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes have done it again.
The Indian Express triumphed at the 2011 Aircel Chennai Open subduing the Dutch-American pair of Robin Hasse and David Martin 6-2, 6-7 (3), 10-7.
The Chennai tourney has Indian champions once more. This is the first time since 2002 that an Indian pair have inscribed their names on the trophy. It was the duo of Bhupathi and Paes who claimed it then as well.
Somdev Devvarman came close in 2009, losing to Marin Cilic in the final.
It was fitting that the duo came together in the sweltering environs of the South Indian city that boasts the best-known tennis families in India—the Krishnans and the Amritrajs, to clinch their first title this year.
Sceptics felt that the two would find it difficult to reprise their form of the late 90s and early oo's, given their aging bodies and slower reflexes.
The WTA Tour may have shut down shop for the year. But the International Tennis Federation show rolls on. And doesn't Sania Mirza know it.
The 24-year-old won the $75,000 Al Habtoor Tennis Challenge knocking over Serbian Bojana Jovanovski in the final 4-6, 6-3, 6-0.
The little known Serb is her nation's No. 3. Her favourite book: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

My awesomenicity is comparable to God's. Although, he doesn't use the word, I do! When you defeat Resistance of Man, your awesomenicity will be legend.

Jeff has so much awesomenicity. He is sooooo hot!

Next:INFANTRY: The Weight Of Knowledge On The Battlefield
May 16, 2011:
South African firm Denel has introduced a new version of its Umkhonto ship anti-aircraft missile system. The Mk.2 version has a more powerful target seeking computer, that enables it to avoid homing on background clutter. This also produces a more efficient flight path, extending the maximum range to 15 kilometers. Umkhonto missiles weigh 130 kg (290 pounds) each, are stored in four or eight cell launchers, and launched straight up. The Mk 1 version had a range of 12 kilometers, and could hit aircraft as high as 10 kilometers (31,000 feet). The missile uses the ship's radar to get near the target, then uses a heat seeker to home in.
The Mk 2 version was developed for Finland, the sole export customer. South Africa is now equipping its own ships with the Mk2. Brazil and Sweden are planning on buying Umkhonto. The Brazilians want the missile for its aircraft carrier, and want a radar guided version. This model, the Umkhonto R, will have a range of 25 kilometers and a ceiling of 12 kilometers (39,000 feet). It is also heavier (195 kg/429 pounds) and longer (from 3.32 meters/10.9 feet to 4.3 meters/13.3 feet).

Additional Information
When it comes to lamb, the rack is where it's at. We like other cuts, to be sure. But there's something supremely satisfying about eating lamb off the bone.
Also in its favor, the rack is a beautiful cut. Pan seared then oven roasted, a rack of lamb affords a quick, elegant dinner.
Being "frenched" and "cap off" means that the rib bones have been cleaned of fat and are exposed, but there is just enough fat left on the meat to make it ideal for roasting.
Serve it whole, and slice lamb chops off at the table for full dramatic effect. And rack on.
Just the facts
- 100% grass-fed
- Humanely raised on spacious pastures
- No antibiotics or hormones from birth
- Healthy source of lean protein, minerals and B vitamins
- Delicious, sweet, tender meat
- One 8-rib rack
- Ships in an uncooked state
- Product of Australia
- Use within 3-5 days of receipt
Our goal in all we do is to provide healthy and delicious meat that comes from a clean and sustainable environment. We are dedicated to finding ranchers and farmers that share our vision of a more humane and sustainable way of rearing livestock. That's why we work only with those who respect nature and focus on the best animal welfare practices.
D'Artagnan sources lamb from Australia, where there is a strong tradition of pasturing these woolly ruminants. Our humanely-raised lamb comes from a clean and natural, free-range environment where the young animals graze on grasses like rye and clover in spacious pastures and semi-arid rangelands.
Most importantly, when lambs are raised this way there is no need for antibiotics to prevent disease, as is common in crowded feedlot conditions. Our lambs are never, ever administered antibiotics, hormones or any other unpleasant substances.
The Border Leicester-Merino, Dorset and White Suffolk cross-breed sheep are raised to maturity in 6 months, instead of the more typical 9-12 months. The idyllic growing conditions, low-stress environment and the young age of the lambs all ensure a clean, mild-tasting meat that is never gamey.
Spread this rack of lamb with roasted garlic or crust it with the herbs and spices of your choice. Rosemary is a natural choice, but the complex flavor of lamb can work with many spices. Sear it in a cast iron pan, roast in the oven or char on the grill. But keep in mind that lamb is best when enjoyed slightly rare.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
Android phone running gingerbread os and playstation suite
Apr 14, 2011 11:13PM PST
Hey everyone! I really can't wait for the Xperia play to get here I need a new phone a.s.a.p and the Xperia play is the perfect one! I love gaming so I definitely can't wait to get my hands on it. What do you all think of it??
Comments (6)
I think...Posted: Apr 14, 2011 12:00AM PST by redax
That it is a little too expensive for my taste. I am not much of a mobile gamer as it is, so frankly, it just doesn't appeal to me that much. That being said, if you are looking for an upgrade to an old PSP or other handheld and a new cell phone - it would be a match made in heaven!
Sounds nicePosted: Apr 15, 2011 12:00AM PST by ngamer-90
Yeah I just got a 3DS and I don't think I'll be paying for another gaming device. But I heard the Xperia Play sounds and looks sweet, and if you need a new phone, then go for it, that way you can also tell us what's it like. Good luck with the purchase!
Xperia Play wait and see gamePosted: Apr 15, 2011 12:00AM PST by James_McClellan
I too am interested in the Xperia Play, but I do have a few reservations about the handheld. At launch there will only be 2 ports available. I would like to see one Major PS or PSP game offered before I make the plunge. Personally I would love to have FF Tactics. I am also worried on how well Sony will support the phone. I don't want to take the plunge and then a year latter there are no more ports. Also we don't know what Sony's long term plans are, and if they are going to release a new version with real analog sticks?
On another note one could always download one of the many Android GBA Emulators which would be fun along with game Dev Story. Also it looks like it will be selling for $100 with a 3 year contract which is a reasonably good deal. If you make the plunge I would love to hear your impressions. Good luck.
I'm definitely planning on getting itPosted: Apr 16, 2011 12:00AM PST by kairi_lisa
I wanna see what it's all about and I love my psp go so I think it'll be the best of both worlds! There hasn't been an official release date but it's rumored it'll be released on april28 with Verizon. I'll let you all know once I get the Xperia play on how the interface and quality of the gaming phone is :)
Damn Verizon!Posted: Apr 16, 2011 12:00AM PST by James_McClellan
The major down side for me is that you have to have a data plan. I just went to the Verizon store today and they said that any smart phone regardless on its intended use requires a data plan. I love how this is how they treat a ten year customer. I just wanted to have a good all in one device, and use Wi-Fi for anything beyond phone calls. I carry around my cell phone everywhere and barely use it for calls, but to do the exact same thing that I do on my phone and PDA on a new device I have to pay $30 a month. Yeah I know its a business but it pisses me off RAMBLE Ramble ramble. Good luck with your purchase.

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Dwight Yoakam to play Riverside April 14
Dwight Yoakam, one of country music's most consistent purveyors of classic honky tonk music, is coming to The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee April 14. Tickets for the concert are $25 and $49.50. Presale tickets go on sale at pabsttheater.org Wednesday, Feb. 27 with a general public sale date Friday, March 1.
Yoakam began his career running against the Nashville grain and has continued to thrive as a modern day apostle of the Bakersfield sound made famous by the likes of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. With a cowboy hat slung deep over his eyes, Yoakam's 1986 debut album, "Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.," was full of twang and swagger. The Kentucky native's cover of Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Man" became a hit and made Yoakam one of the first country artists to appear on MTV. (Watch the video below.) »Read Full Blog Post
