Report on the Aeronautics and space employment forum
On 6th December 2012, the IPSA School held its Aeronautics and space employment forum. 33 companies of the sector came to meet IPSA's students during this professional event.
Clément Mémain (IPSA's promotion 2011), Amaris business unit manager talks about the importance of such gatherings: "Participating in forums of this kind is essential for companies. It allows us to identify the future recruits who will join our teams of consultants. We look for persons having a precise vision of the evolution of their career on the short, mid and possibly long run, even if the work market's culture is not what it was years ago with the engineers and the consultants switching companies regularly. As consultant's job involves a great mobility, versatility and a cross-functional glance, it is rather mainstream. As such, the IPSA meets our expectations. "

Amaris Uses Cloud to Tap New Markets
Amaris services provide Austrian small businesses with greater access to IT infrastructure, platforms, and applications.
Founded in 2007, Amaris is a global IT consulting firm with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and more than 40 offices worldwide. In 2012, the company made its first strategic acquisition when it purchased Thales Information Systems Austria. The acquisition added a new dimension to Amaris, which had formerly focused on consultancy engagements, by providing access to expertise and assets in IT infrastructure and managed services, and in particular the deployment of virtual data centers.
The merger helped to fast-track the provider's intention to offer cloud-based services to Austrian small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Arthur de Pauw, technical director at Amaris, says: "Austria is an SMB country. In the current climate, many do not have the capital reserves to invest in new technology every three or four years. Instead, their hardware refreshes are stretching to between seven and ten years. But they still have the same technology requirements that larger companies do, for example, high availability, speed, and round-the-clock service provision."
Amaris was aware that Austrian SMBs could benefit greatly from software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) delivered on a per-user basis from the cloud. The issue was how to take such offerings to market in the most cost-effective and flexible way.
In 2009, Amaris became the first company in Austria to purchase Cisco Unified Computing System™ (UCS®) servers. Since then, the focus has been on developing Qloudwise, its unique cloud offering. To achieve this goal, Amaris has migrated applications and services to an end-to-end Cisco® CloudVerse data center architecture. This cloud delivery platform now consists of sixty-four UCS B230 and B200 and blade servers, powered by Intel Xeon processors. Cisco Nexus® 7000 Series and 5000 Series Switches form the data center connectivity platform, while VMware vSphere virtualization software and EMC VNX storage systems complete the package.
Amaris offers three varieties of IaaS. The most basic, which can be used for applications such as software testing and development, allows the customer to rent a single blade equipped with VMware software. The most popular model is a dedicated IaaS solution, where Amaris creates an entire virtual data center environment with multiple feeds and customized parameters to meet the unique requirements of each customer. The third option is a pay-as-you-go IaaS model, which customers can use as and when they need spare capacity, for example to deal with peaks in demand or disaster recovery situations.
With SaaS, the ability to define the characteristics of each UCS server using service profiles allows Amaris to offer a wide range of pre-packaged server and application bundles. These include web-based customer relationship management (CRM) application suites offered for a fixed fee per user per month, end-user backup services, or collaboration tool kits including customized mailbox sizes. A cloud-based HR software offer is in development. Amaris is also able to deliver service profiles aimed at specific industry sectors such as education, healthcare, or defense.
To grow with the Amaris business, the Cisco infrastructure is supported by a Cisco SMARTnet® technical services contract, and Amaris is using EasyLease financing from Cisco Capital® to help optimize its balance sheet by closely matching investment to the anticipated arrival of new revenue streams.
By leveraging Cisco CloudVerse technologies, Amaris is helping customers, particularly SMB IT specialists, free themselves of basic administration tasks and provide higher-value services to their businesses. "SMBs need to concentrate on what they are good at, which is not necessarily managing infrastructure and IT services," says de Pauw. "It's about putting cloud services in the hands of customers so they can develop innovative ways of working. Thanks to Cisco CloudVerse and Unified Data Center architecture, we can provide all the IT they need, fully managed, for a simple monthly fee."
IaaS solutions from Amaris are also helping SMBs save money. Charitable organizations, for example, can use infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis to deal with campaign peaks, thereby growing charitable revenues by not having to pay for the same level of IT services all year round. Similarly, schools and colleges can reduce the amount that they pay for infrastructure during holidays.
This flexibility has allowed Amaris to make significant inroads into the SMB market, a sector the company had not previously been able to tap into in a major way. Along the way, it is also attracting larger customers. One of its partners, which traditionally helps with SAP software implementations, has been so impressed with the performance of SAP on Cisco UCS that it is now migrating all its systems to the Amaris cloud. Amaris is also looking to deploy a cloud-based mobile and managed print offering in conjunction with Xerox.
Other exciting Amaris innovations include an enterprise storage system similar to the popular web-based application, Dropbox. And it has been able to do this with unparalleled speed, efficiency, and flexibility. "With our previous platforms, it would have taken two hours to install and configure each server," says de Pauw. "Now we can install an entire chassis and get eight blade servers up and running in the same time."
Administration is simplified: engineers can carry out patches and upgrades either on the spot or remotely. As well as saving time and money for overtime payments, this newfound operational agility has improved employee satisfaction, because the Amaris IT technicians no longer have to work night shifts.
"Overall, with increased business volumes, our data center power consumption has risen slightly," says de Pauw. "However, we now have 10 times the computing power we used to, so in real terms per-server power consumption has reduced considerably." Combining the computing power with the Cisco UCS service profiles, Amaris can make better use of memory and CPU in each server cluster, leading to improved CPU utilization for each set of applications and successfully providing an efficient set of services to its customers.

EMLYON Business School : Olivier Brourhant's interview
Olivier Brourhant (MBA 97), co-founder and Director of Amaris (management and high-tech consulting)
"Working as part of an association can teach a lot to someone who later starts his/her own company."
An unrelenting passion for launching companies and international development led Olivier Brourhant (MBA 97), through various experiences, to create Amaris in 2007. Within five years, thanks to loyal customers such as Alstom, BNP Paribas, Telefonica, Novartis, the United Nations, Sanofi Pasteur and Veolia, the little management and high-tech consulting company has gained the status of its bigger competitors. "What thrills me," explains Olivier Brourhant, "is starting from nothing, with brilliant people, seeing them grow - sometimes during difficult crises - and to continue developing the company..."
Were you already thinking about having such a dense "entrepreneurial life" when you were at EMLYON?
Olivier Brourhant: I mostly had a clear idea about what I didn't want to do. The MBA helped me to identify my weaknesses. I have always worked a lot for associations, in particular "Le Petit Paumé" at EMLYON, and it was one of the best learning experiences I've had. I have always wanted to manage projects and lead teams. During my MBA, I almost set up with another classmate a company whose concept resembled closely Expedia's. I then completed military service by volunteering outside of France for Altran (I was a manager who recruited teams for a profit centre), and after my service finished, I stayed on to take part in creating information systems. Then I launched, in the same sector, Axen in Belgium, which grew to 250 employees.
From then on, you concentrated all of your development on international markets?
O.B.: Yes, acquisitions, keeping an eye on certain areas within Europe, our development was constant, until in 2007, when I created Amaris. The big difference there was that the company was designed from the start to be international in nature. The consulting market is shared among a few countries where there are both very big and very small companies. At Amaris there were four of us five years ago; today there are 900 employees (45 nationalities) in 28 countries, and our growth rate is over 60% annually. Our staff is young; the average age is 27 years old. Our administrative and financial directors, who are Belgian and Spanish and EMLYON graduates, are 26 years old. The team has excellent qualifications: 98% of our employees have studied for many years in the different specializations that are necessary to solving problems in banking, health, the automotive and aeronautical industries, telecommunications, energy and transport. We were actually surprised to see the engineers' strong interest in having an international career.
Amaris started by offering organizational advice to the banking sector?
0.B.: Yes. That is why our headquarters are in Geneva. But from the beginning, we wanted to create a consulting company with expertise in several areas. We help our clients develop their technology projects, for example helping with the design of airplane wings in the aeronautical industry, or managing electromagnetic compatibility problems when placing GSM antennae in the subway... But it might also be managing the United Nations' information technology infrastructure in three different countries. We capitalize on our knowledge and mobilize our multidisciplinary teams. My job is to manage the company so that it remains independent and can decide its own future.
Do you think that your various activities in associations helped you when you started setting up companies?
O.B.: If I had not worked in different associations, I wouldn't be where I am today. I think that right now, we don't trust young people enough. I was 21 years old when I did my MBA. Today, that would be impossible. Even if I often did the opposite of what I was taught, the most important thing I learned is to learn. And young people today when they leave business school have a level far superior to what we had 15 years ago. But you can't learn at school how to be pragmatic.

The Jackson County Election Board held a special meeting that included a "notice of hearing," Wednesday morning, Feb. 13, in District Court. The hearing was to challenge the candidacy for the office of City Clerk/Treasurer for the upcoming election. Debbie Davis protested Opal Collins' eligibility for City Clerk, who was not present at the hearing. The Board noted that Collins had been served notifying documents.
Assistant District Attorney Ken Darby was present for any legal questions or interpretation to advise the Board.
"I'm filing this protest due to the fact that Mrs. Collins is not a registered voter in Jackson County," Debbie Davis during her opening statement.
The Secretary of the Board Jennifer Wilson stated, "In order to run for any office in Jackson County, you do have to be a registered voter at least six months prior to filing for candidacy." Wilson said that is according to Oklahoma State statute Title 11 Section 16-110.
After proceedings with Cause #2013-001 Debbie Davis vs. Opal Collins, the Election Board authorized to "strike the contestees name from the ballot" because the Declaration of Candidacy was invalid.
Davis found out on Tuesday that Collins was not registered to vote in Jackson County, so she waited until Tuesday for Collins to withdrawal before she filed a protest on Wednesday. "I wanted things to be done right," commented Davis.
Because incumbent Davis remains the only name on the ballot, she is to be re-elected for City Clerk/Treasurer for a 4-year term.
4-year term for Ward 2 seat will go to Michael Beason, who also has no opponent on the ballot.

Every parent with a school-age child understands how much a good teacher can influence a child. For most kids, their motivation comes from wanting to please the teacher. It's why they complete assignments and it's why the student strives to do well on it. If the child doesn't like the teacher, it may be very hard to motivate him or her to do well.
But there are other reasons why good teachers are important. Teachers who love their students can help boost their students' self esteem and show them that they're special. Teachers can also help their students gain a love for learning. For kids who don't have the best home life, a good teacher can create an environment where these kids want to be — a haven that is safe and comfortable.
So what makes a good teacher? You'd think the most important thing would be a teacher who teaches well, but in reality, a good teacher is one that loves his or her students. It's a teacher who loves teaching and wants all of the students to succeed.
Another important quality is understanding. There are many teachers who don't get that sometimes no matter how hard students try, they aren't able to get a concept or aren't able to concentrate in class. This could be because of a learning disability such as dyslexia or because of having ADD.
Students need to know that they can approach their teacher and ask questions without being made to feel unimportant or stupid.

Excellent book!
I first bought it for my 5 year old daughter to color in but when my 9 year old son saw it, he wanted one too!! The both Luv coloring in it not only alone but with each other. They have sat at the kitchen table for hours coloring. Just for that I would recommend buying it!
Naomi T, 15th November 2011
Brilliant - make it an iPad application
This would be a fantastic book to convert to an interactive iPad Application where the doodles could be used over and over again. The book is excellent, and really fuels the imagination of children, usually giving them a great initial idea for them to complete. My 5 year-old absolutely loves it.

Drawing, Doodling and Colouring
This is a very fun book for kids that are into drawing and even crafts because it has soo many different colours and things. It is a very good book i would recommend it for any child interested in arts and crafts or drawing and colouring.
Shannon, 3rd April 2011
Great! :)
There are things for girls and boys, like girls can design dresses - if girl is VERY girly (lol)- and boys can have a spooky picture to colour. Well all I can say is that the book is truly wonderful ^.^ I'm very glad I got it xxxxx

Title: Routine Preventive Care and Cancer Surveillance in Long-Term Survivors (LTS) of Colorectal Cancer: Results from NSABP Protocol LTS-01
Presenter: Hiroko Kunitake, MD
Affiliation: David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Over 11 million cancer survivors currently reside in the United States, and this number is estimated to continue to rise at a rate of approximately 3% each year. Among these is a growing population of long-term survivors of colorectal cancer, representing about 10% of total cancer survivors living in the US. Cancer survivors may be at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis, and general functional decline when compared to the general population. In addition, general preventive care is equally important. The National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Long Term Survivor Project (NSABP-LTS), described here, was designed to understand the use of preventive care, cancer screening and surveillance by long-term survivors of colorectal cancer.
708 survivors completed the telephone interview. These were compared with a control group without cancer diagnoses.There were some differences in the two groups demographically. The survivors were more likely to have graduated high school, be married, and have health insurance, specificallyprivate health insurance.
Survivors were more likely to have a usual source of medical care and more likely to have gotten a flu shot in the last year. This was associated with having health insurance, which is not surprising. The groups had equivalent ER visits. The survivors were more likely to have had cancer screening (Pap testing: 67.3% vs. 54.8%;mammography: 84.4% vs. 70.7%; PSA testing: 84.5% vs. 74.5%, respectively, p < 0.0001 for all comparisons). Rates of colonoscopy were 96.5% in the survivor group versus 74.1% in the control group.
The survivors in this group had all participated in a clinical trial for their cancer therapy. This may make a difference in follow-up care. Previous studies have found that survivors receive poorer preventive care and cancer screening than the general population, but this study found the opposite. Given that only 3% of adults participate in clinical trials, this group may not be a good representation of the general survivor population. But, this may help us take steps to better determine what predicts better compliance with healthcare among survivors.

"I can't believe my head is not crushed," Wendy Howard, 39, said at the scene as she looked at her GMC Envoy with the front of its cab caved in by the trailer, which was carrying a payload of about 45,000 pounds.
The crash occurred about 3 p.m., when the big rig, driven by Adolfo Penny of Clinton, Md., was southbound on the bypass and ran through the red light at Lebanon Road, witnesses told Danville police.
The big truck, owned by Crete Carrier Corp., collided with a Chevy pickup truck driven by Clifton Grubbs Jr. of Danville, who was traveling east through the intersection on Lebanon Road, and then careened into the northbound lanes. The tractor-trailer sideswiped a Ford pickup truck driven by Sabe Ruggles, 18, of Danville before the weight of the load shifted, causing the trailer to overturn on top of Howard's vehicle, police said.
Grubbs was transported from the scene by ambulance to Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center for treatment of possible back and neck injuries, police said. No other injuries were reported.
The cab of the big truck ran through a guardrail on the right side of the northbound lanes before turning over on its side, leaving the trailer sprawled across three lanes of traffic. The intersection was finally cleared about 11 p.m., eight hours after the crash occurred, police said.
Because the trailer was damaged in the crash, it had to be partially unloaded before it could be brought upright, Danville Police Chief Tony Gray said.
The paper products, which had just been picked up at Wausau in Harrodsburg, were off-loaded onto pallets by hand and then reloaded on to another trailer using a forklift, Danville police Capt. James Monroe said.
Roberts Towing of Lexington brought two oversized wreckers to the scene in order to winch the big rig back on its wheels, Gray said. A tanker truck also was deployed to drain the diesel fuel from the overturned truck before it was set right, Monroe said.
Howard said she had been running errands and was on her way to pick up her daughter at Woodlawn Elementary School when the big truck flashed across her path as she was easing up to the stop light.
"It all happened so fast. The trailer just came in on me," she said.
The top of the trailer smashed in the cab of Howard's SUV, but she sustained no injuries and was able to unbuckle her seat belt and climb out through a back door, she said.
Several people at the scene speculated what might have happened to Howard if she had traveled another foot or two before the trailer toppled over on to her vehicle.
"It's one of those things where you just go 'Wow!'" said Danville Fire Chief Woody Ball. "Her guardian angel was flying with her, I suppose."

The image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope exposes the depths of this dusty nebula with its infrared vision, showing stellar infants that are lost behind dark clouds when viewed in visible light.

Legends as Inspiration

Legendary figures in the old west such as Jesse James and Billy the Kid are my two favorite bad boys. Just reading about or seeing their escapades on the big screen inspire me to write a full length western. All I need now is to get off my butt and write. LOL

- AJ Llewellyn said...
Kissa, that's a stunning picture and yes, legends inspire my books too. Goddess Pele, the Hawaiian protector of the volcanoes inspires and figures heavily in all my books. Loved this post, hon.

- Tess said...
That is a great pic. Very inspirational. I've never written a story involving any creature. But mermaids are indeed sexy and beautiful. Very mystical and I find myself drawn to all the pics of them.
Artists always portray them in such a provocative manner.
And I love legends too. The book I have coming out with Freya's Bower in October is about a legendary pirate who at one time moored off the coast of North Carolina--another redneck area, lol--only I embellished this legend a bit and gave him a soul mate.
Very romantic. Great blog, Kissa, can't wait to see your Mermaid story. - September 12, 2008 at 5:12 PM
- Kissa Starling said...
Mary Ann, I'm actually kin to one of the old west gunfighters. I can't remember which one right now but he's buried in Oklahoma where a lot of my family still lives. Thanks for dropping by!
- September 12, 2008 at 5:13 PM
- Kissa Starling said...
AJ, I didn't know that you used legends in your stories too. Great new thing to learn about you. Thanks for the comment!
Kissa - September 12, 2008 at 5:13 PM
- Kissa Starling said...
Tess, what is the title of your book coming out in October? I didn't know a pirate was involved. I adore pirates- think I may have married one! hee hee
We bought an old camper and I plan to paint a mermaid mural on the bathroom wall. I used to paint a lot and I want to get back into it.

I love the picture and the poem. Write now I'm writing something inspired by Greek mythology. It is fun doing a little research.
But the thing that inspires me the most would have to be music. I hear a song and a story pops into my head. :) - September 12, 2008 at 6:41 PM
- Jambrea said...
PS...that is one of the things I love about AJ's book, all the interesting facts about Hawaii. :)
- September 12, 2008 at 6:41 PM
- Kissa Starling said...
Yes, music inspires me also, Jambrea. Some of the Siren songs from the sea are so sad and nostalgic.
- September 12, 2008 at 6:47 PM
- Angela Guillaume said...
The character in the poem reminds me a lot of Medusa (particularly the last two verses). Myths and legends are fascinating. I'm also inspired by fairy tales, art (particularly Renaissance) and history - mostly Renaissance to the Deco era. Great blog, Kissa!
- September 13, 2008 at 9:42 AM
- Kissa Starling said...
Thanks for dropping by Angela. I love fairy tales also. I'm in the process of developing a series of erotic fairy tales.

Legend Legend...I'm not sure I have a favorite right now, maybe the story of the Hungarian Spirit though you can't google that topic cause I can't remember what the book was called.
It told of how a seed grew into a tree, then was burned to the ground only to be reborn in the ash, as the spirit of Hungarian people is to fight and persevere, never divigating from their goals. - September 15, 2008 at 3:07 PM

And if it's all the same to the Jackets, they'd take the same result as the last time they visited the Eagles.
In 2009, Hal Lamb's Calhoun team visited Coosa in late September and walked away with a 47-16 en route to their ninth straight region title and an appearance in the Class AA State Championship game.
Three years later, the roles are are almost the same as the defending Class AA state champion Jackets go in as heavy favorites against Coosa in their second region game. Still, Lamb said his team knows they can't take the Eagles lightly.
"Coosa's not a bad team, and coach (Chad) Perry does a great job there," said Lamb. "They are very young team and have had some bad breaks against them this year, but they are still a good team.
"We haven't played them in a while so it's new for our kids, and they're excited about the opportunity."
Coosa (0-4, 0-1) comes into the game off a loss to Pepperell last Saturday in their region opener. The Eagles are similar in style to Dade County but have a more speed according to Lamb.
The Eagles looked to have added a big weapon before the season as former Pepperell standout running back Janier Ferguson transferred in over the summer.
But off the field problems forced Ferguson off the team, and Coosa hasn't been able to get any consistency going, especially on offense, ever since.
Calhoun (4-0, 1-0) head into Friday riding high after a convincing win on the road at Dade County last week. The Jackets rebounded from a slow first quarter to win 50-13 in Trenton and move to 1-0 in the region.
"We didn't play as well as we wanted to, but we've never played very well up there," said Lamb. "The second quarter was a lot better than the first, and we were able to get some other kids in the game in the second half.
"It's always been big for us to get younger kids experience on Friday nights. We went through a tough stretch at the first of the season where we couldn't do that as much so it was good that they got to play some against Dade County."
The Jackets are without several contributors at this point in the schedule. Linebacker Chaz Horton and receiver Thomas Haynes have both been lost for the season, and linebacker Justin Harrison has been out since the Dalton game with an injury. Lamb said the team hopes to get Harrison and junior lineman Nathan Walraven, who has been out since the preseason with a stress fracture in his foot, back in a few weeks.
In those players' abscences, others have stepped up to fill those roles and the other key guys for the Jackets have continued to be leaders.
Lamb said his team has to be focused in several key areas to avoid a letdown against Coosa on Friday.
"We can't play sloppy and turn the ball over and let them hang around," said Lamb. "We've got to execute in all three phases, especially on defense. We've got to contain their speed on the outside and not miss tackles.
"If we take care of what we need to do and go in with the right frame of mind, we should be alright."
The bottom line is Calhoun is a better team in this matchup in all phases of the game. That doesn't mean that Coosa isn't void of any good players, they just simply don't have as many as Calhoun.
Like Lamb said, if the Jackets take care of business and play like they're capable of playing, they should have no problem moving to 2-0 in the region headed into next week's idle week.
Expect another lopsided victory this week.
Calhoun 49, Coosa 14

What I find works is to do all exerxises that target all of your ab/lower back muscles such as plank, the bicycle and back extension to work your lower back muscles. Remember to warm up first!! Sorry for such a late reply!

Hi twilight*gurl(: Boys are so confusing, aren't they! Some obvious signs that a guy is flirting with U could be: *He might tease you (Nicely!) about silly things, like your hair or your shoes. *He may crack random jokes just to make you laugh. *He may give you a lot of compliments. (Example: Ur hair looks amazing today or I really really like Ur outfit!) *He may give you a flirty smile from across the room. Things like that! Try paying attention to the small details! How does he act around U? Does he seem nervous? Do U catch him staring at U sometimes? These may all be signs that he's trying to flirt with U! Good Luck!!!(: <333, Madi(:
*MusicGirl16* on 2/3/2012 9:31:37 PM
Hey Annie1325, Sorry, but there is actually no way to 'friend' someone here on GL! GL is a bit different from other social networking websites, like Facebook for example! U could try joining clubs to make friends there, but there is no official way to 'friend' someone! Btw, My Advice Queen Page is sorta like a club where I give out Advice to other girls!(: I would LUV it if U would become a fan! Hope to see U around! <333, Madi(:
*MusicGirl16* on 2/3/2012 9:19:04 PM
Hey aprilrose135(: Here are some cute hairstyles to try for Ur Valentine's Dance: *Cute Elegant Bun (w/ Ur bangs out!) *Loose, beachy waves(: *Romantic Curls *Chic Side PonyTail (w/ Bangs out) You could also try crimping or straightening Ur hair, as well! Just look for cute styles that fit Ur personality! Good Luck & have a GREAT time at the dance!(: <333, Madi(:

Accton Introduces Industry's First Dual Band Wireless Access Point with Enterprise-Level Security | |
2003/09/30 | |
Hsinchu, Taiwan- Accton Technology Corporation (TAIEX: 2345, www.accton.com), global outsourcing partner for networking and communications solutions, today announced its newest product, the WA6102 Dual Band Wireless Access Point. Available to partners immediately, the WA6102 is the only 802.11a/g dual band wireless access point that has the security features that make wireless networking practical for Enterprise applications. Designed to meet the demands of Enterprise applications, the powerful WA6102 is packed with features that give the mobile wireless workforce a secure, standards-based means to access corporate network resources, email, and the Internet. Fully compatible with IEEE 802.11g at 2.4GHz and with 802.11a at 5GHz, it has the flexibility to connect wireless users whether their computers are equipped with 802.11a, b or g wireless adapters. "Security has been the main barrier to wireless networking in the corporate world," said Jonathan Cheng, Accton's General Manager for U.S. Operations. "We are pleased to be the first to have a product that overcomes that barrier with rock-solid, high-end security features." With support for WPA (TKIP & AES) over 802.1x, the new Enterprise Access Point provides the highest level of wireless security to prevent intrusions and block entry via rogue Access Points. Strong network management security is provided via SNMPV3, HTTPS (SSL) and VLAN support, which prevents unauthorized management access to the Access Point. Features like dynamic keying and Power over Ethernet (PoE) reduce the overall cost of ownership for the wireless infrastructure, and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities enable administrators to prioritize network traffic for optimal performance with demanding applications such as voice and video. The only choice for Enterprise wireless, the economical and secure WA6102 Dual Band Enterprise Access Point is available now to Accton's global outsourcing partners. | |

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
You are very nice to say that TT. You earning 2.5MM shows true dedication and I admire what you have achieved. Hope you have a great day!
Tom, can we be buddies? I appreciate all that you do here on GasBuddy! Thanks! Ron
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 2.5M mark and your nice new red big truck! : ) Wow! Truly awesome! You've done great here on GasBuddy! Keep going another million or two! You're one of only 1193 of more than 8,000,000 GBs that have accumulated at least 2,500,000 points! Many of the GBs ahead of you have already retired! You're doing great, so keep going! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Only 714 GBs have made it to 2.75M, so keep going like a PRO Nashville GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron
Yesterday, ImCheapinNJ reported on CobraLeader's Whiteboard, that CobraLeader passed away on 12/11/10! I know it's been a long time since anyone has heard from CobraLeader, many GBs have been wondering what had happened to CobraLeader! :( He had more than 5,000 buddies on his buddy list and many more GBs knew of his presence here in GasBuddyland! We'll miss our buddy CobraLeader, but he'll always have GasBuddies that will remember him for being here! May CL R.I.P. : )
I think you'll enjoy this video... starring you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qcmCUsw4EQ&feature=player_embedded
Hi, congratulations on posting for 90 consecutive days and on earning your "racing stripes" AGAIN. Want to become buddies???
TT: Still bi-monthly. I've been a busy body the past month. The reports are together, just haven't posted it yet. Think it's happening today. Thanks for looking in, hope things are well.
I got this in an email - thought you might be interested - "largest model railroad in the world" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_oDdGmKyA&feature
Don't know if you get to the Donelson Area much, but Kroger on McGavock, just north of Lebanon Rd. has Diesel for $3.399 / gallon, so if Helga is getting low, the $0.40 difference could be worth the trip! That price was still good as of 6:00 tonight.

Participating in the annual Shop and Share event, local Food City stores took part in a one-day drive to benefit domestic violence shelters across the state on Saturday.
Items such as personal care, non-perishable food and housekeeping items were gathered to be used for the benefit of local victims housed in the Family Life Abuse Center serving eight counties of the Cumberland Valley Area Development District, which include Bell, Clay, Harlan, Jackson, Knox, Laurel, Rockcastle and Whitley. Harlan County Domestic Violence Council volunteers set up at Food City stores in Harlan and Cumberland where they provided a list of items needed to shoppers as they entered the stores. Monetary donations were also accepted.
The event is co-sponsored by Kentucky first lady Jane Beshear.
"All of us are aware of the appalling crime of domestic violence, and many Kentuckians have had friends or family members who have been victims themselves," Beshear said in a press release. "Shop and Share is an easy way for people to contribute to victims and their families. The goal was to collect more than $1 million in donations.
Harlan County Domestic Violence Council Victim Advocate Sheryl Caudel said approximately $2,700 in merchandise, along with $378 in monetary donations were received in Harlan County during the event.
"The response was overwhelming considering the amount of people in Harlan County who have lost their jobs," said Caudel. "The people of Harlan County have always been so generous and so good to help when needed."
Caudel said approximately $10,831 in merchandise, along with approximately $2,000 in cash was collected in Bell, Harlan, Laurel and Whitley counties on Saturday.
"We appreciate everyone who donated during this event," said Caudel. "It will all be used locally."
Anyone wishing to donate or wanting more information, may contact Caudel at (606) 392-1129 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also mail checks to Department of Human Service, Family Life Abuse Center, P.O. Box 640, Mt.Vernon, Ky. 40456.

Home to some of the most highly rated coasters in the world, it is a definite challenge to make the most of a day at Alton Towers. Being amongst a group of 9 people, and each with varying opinions of what are good rides, and what is too much to handle, I will stay away from personal stories, and instead, share more factual experiences and suggestions for the best possible experience at Alton Towers.
Getting to the park in itself is a challenge, especially to those who are not familiar with UK driving. Not so much with the directions, but with the challenges of the actual road designs – namely that they are incredibly tight and small. As you strategize the time it takes you to get to the park, tack on an extra 20 minutes as the roads immediately before the park are single-lane, tight, and through a slow-moving series of hills and turns. It is bumper-to-bumper traffic. When parking, take advantage of the monorail service that will take you from the carpark right to the main entrance. Remember to grab a parking token at the station, as it is required to exit the park at the end of the day.
The park usually opens up at 9:30am, while rides begin at 10am. The park closing time varies on the time of the year it is. In my case, it was open between 10am and 5:30pm, which isn't enough time to experience all the coasters this park offers. If the funds are available, I would highly suggest investing in the priority pass, which is an add-on ticket that allows you to fast-track at most of the coasters in the park. The cost for the priority pass is around 7 pounds. Also, the same coasters have a separate queue line for single-riders. However, single-rider queues are unpredictable. They can be a significant time saver, but they can also easily be longer then standing in the general queues. Throughout the park, there are updated display boards with the approximate wait times for selected popular rides. Based on my personal experience, I found that the wait times are not only approximate, but they are flat out inaccurate.
The first coaster I went on was Oblivion, located in X-Sector. Generally, taking the time to ride Oblivion is worth the experience, as the turnaround time for unloading and loading riders is relatively fast. The hallmark vertical drop is literally the entire ride. It has no other component to it. Moving on from Oblivion, my next coaster experience was on Corkscrew. Located in Ug Land, this coaster is certainly mild compared to anything else in the park, and the queue for it can be long, and in my opinion overrated. Also in Ug Land is Rita - Queen of Speed. I wasn't able to go on Rita as it broke down and when it resumed operating, I couldn't get back to it. What I can say about this coaster is that it is still going through its novelty stage. Good or not (and it certainly looks good), people flock to this ride simply because it is new (premiered during the 2005 operating season).
After Corkscrew, my fellow thrillseekers and I ventured to Nemesis, where the queue is virtually guaranteed to be long, but it does move along rather quickly. Nemesis is well worth the wait. Offering riders several exciting components with some great surrounding scenery, Nemesis is literally a thrill-a-second. One thing that amazes me about this ride is the track layout. It has several thrilling components but in a tight and limited amount of space. Nemesis is located in Forbidden Valley, as is Air. From what I gathered, Air tends to develop the longest lineup. According to the display at the entrance to the ride, I was looking at an 80 minute wait time. Given the limited operating times of the day, and how long the queue was, I had to cut out Air from my mental list of rides to experience.
The last ride I experienced, and I am glad I did get back to it, was Spinball Whizzer. Not as big as the other coasters in the park, this ride is definitely exciting and a pure joy to go on. Its combination of quick acceleration, coaster type, and unique layout all add up to a fun experience.
Runaway Mine Train, located between Forbidden Valley and the main entrance of the park, in Katanga Canyon, wasn't operational that day.
Given the layout of the entire park, there are literally great coasters in every corner. Using the Skyway cable cars is a good tool in going from one end of the park to the other. It will definitely save you a lot of walking. The Skyway can be picked up near the main entrance, at Towers Street, and it takes you to Forbidden Valley, then onto Cred Street, which is where the new Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Ride is.
In conclusion, I would say that this park should be among your most desired to visit list. However, given its popularity and anticipated queue lines, you should do your best to visit when its operating times are the longest (during July and August). Purchasing the priority pass will go a long way in saving time waiting, and it applies to the vast majority of the coasters in the park.
