The biggest difference between cloud-based applications and the applications running in your data center is scalability. The cloud offers scalability on demand, allowing you to expand and contract your application as load fluctuates. This scalability is what makes the cloud appealing, but it can't be achieved by simply lifting your existing application to the cloud. In order to take advantage of what the cloud has to offer, you need to re-architect your application around scalability. The other business benefit comes in terms of price, as in the cloud costs scale linearly with demand.
Sample Architecture of a Cloud-Based Application
Designing an application for the cloud often requires re-architecting your application around scalability. The figure below shows what the architecture of a highly scalable cloud-based application might look like.
The Client Tier: The client tier contains user interfaces for your target platforms, which may include a web-based user interface, a mobile user interface, or even a thick client user interface. There will typically be a web application that performs actions such as user management, session management, and page construction. But for the rest of the interactions the client makes RESTful service calls into the server.
Services: The server is composed of both caching services, from which the clients read data, that host the most recently known good state of all of the systems of record, and aggregate services that interact directly with the systems of record for destructive operations (operations that change the state of the systems of record).
Systems of Record: The systems of record are your domain-specific servers that drive your business functions. These may include user management CRM systems, purchasing systems, reservation systems, and so forth. While these can be new systems in the application you're building, they are most likely legacy systems with which your application needs to interact. The aggregate services are responsible for abstracting your application from the peculiarities of the systems of record and providing a consistent front-end for your application.
ESB: When systems of record change data, such as by creating a new purchase order, a user "liking" an item, or a user purchasing an airline ticket, the system of record raises an event to a topic. This is where the idea of an event-driven architecture (EDA) comes to the forefront of your application: when the system of record makes a change that other systems may be interested in, it raises an event, and any system interested in that system of record listens for changes and responds accordingly. This is also the reason for using topics rather than using queues: queues support point-to-point messaging whereas topics support publish-subscribe messaging/eventing. If you don't know who all of your subscribers are when building your application (which you shouldn't, according to EDA) then publishing to a topic means that anyone can later integrate with your application by subscribing to your topic.
Whenever interfacing with legacy systems, it is desirable to shield the legacy system from load. Therefore, we implement a caching system that maintains the currently known good state of all of the systems of record. And this caching system utilizes the EDA paradigm to listen to changes in the systems of record and update the versions of the data it hosts to match the data in the systems of record. This is a powerful strategy, but it also changes the consistency model from being consistent to being eventually consistent. To illustrate what this means, consider posting an update on your favorite social media site: you may see it immediately, but it may take a few seconds or even a couple minutes before your friends see it. The data will eventually be consistent, but there will be times when the data you see and the data your friends see doesn't match. If you can tolerate this type consistency then you can reap huge scalability benefits.
NoSQL: Finally, there are many storage options available, but if your application needs to store a huge amount of data it is far easier to scale by using a NoSQL document store. There are various NoSQL document stores, and the one you choose will match the nature of your data. For example, MongoDB is good for storing searchable documents, Neo4J is good at storing highly inter-related data, and Cassandra is good at storing key/value pairs. I typically also recommend some form of search index, such as Solr, to accelerate queries to frequently accessed data.
Let's begin our deep-dive investigation into this architecture by reviewing service-oriented architectures and REST.
REpresentational State Transfer (REST)
The best pattern for dividing an application into tiers is to use a service-oriented architecture (SOA). There are two main options for this, SOAP and REST. There are many reasons to use each protocol that I won't go into here, but for our purposes REST is the better choice because it is more scalable.
REST was defined in 2000 by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation and is an architectural style that models elements as a distributed hypermedia system that rides on top of HTTP. Rather than thinking about services and service interfaces, REST defines its interface in terms of resources, and services define how we interact with these resources. HTTP serves as the foundation for RESTful interactions and RESTful services use the HTTP verbs to interact with resources, which are summarized as follows:
GET: retrieve a resource
POST: create a resource
PUT: update a resource
PATCH: partially update a resource
DELETE: delete a resource
HEAD: does this resource exist OR has it changed?
OPTIONS: what HTTP verbs can I use with this resource
For example, I might create an Order using a POST, retrieve an Order using a GET, change the product type of the Order using a PATCH, replace the entire Order using a PUT, delete an Order using a DELETE, send a version (passing the version as an Entity Tag or eTag) to see if an Order has changed using a HEAD, and discover permissible Order operations using OPTIONS. The point is that the Order resource is well defined and then the HTTP verbs are used to manipulate that resource.
In addition to keeping application resources and interactions clean, using the HTTP verbs can greatly enhance performance. Specifically, if you define a time-to-live (TTL) on your resources, then HTTP GETs can be cached by the client or by an HTTP cache, which offloads the server from constantly rebuilding the same resource.
REST defines three maturity levels, affectionately known as the Richardson Maturity Model (because it was developed by Leonard Richardson):
Define resources
Properly use the HTTP verbs
Hypermedia Controls
Thus far we have reviewed levels 1 and 2, but what really makes REST powerful is level 3. Hypermedia controls allow resources to define business-specific operations or "next states" for resources. So, as a consumer of a service, you can automatically discover what you can do with the resources. Making resources self-documenting enables you to more easily partition your application into reusable components (and hence makes it easier to divide your application into tiers).
Sideline: you may have heard the acronym HATEOAS, which stands for Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State. HATEOAS is the principle that clients can interact with an application entirely through the hypermedia links that the application provides. This is essentially the formalization of level 3 of the Richardson Maturity Model.
RESTful resources maintain their own state so RESTful web services (the operations that manipulate RESTful resources) can remain stateless. Stateless-ness is a core requirement of scalability because it means that any service instance can respond to any request. Thus, if you need more capacity on any service tier, you can add additional virtual machines to that tier to distribute the load. To illustrate why this is important, let's consider a counter-example: the behavior of stateful servers. When a server is stateful then it maintains some client state, which means that subsequent requests by a client to that server need to be sent to that specific server instance. If that tier becomes overloaded then adding new server instances to the tier may help new client requests, but will not help existing client requests because the load cannot be easily redistributed.
Furthermore, the resiliency requirements of stateful servers hinder scalability because of fail-over options. What happens if the server to which your client is connected goes down? As an application architect, you want to ensure that client state is not lost, so how to we gracefully fail-over to another server instance? The answer is that we need to replicate client state across multiple server instances (or at least one other instance) and then define a fail-over strategy so that the application automatically redirects client traffic to the failed-over server. The replication overhead and network chatter between replicated servers means that no matter how optimal the implementation, scalability can never be linear with this approach.
Stateless servers do not suffer from this limitation, which is another benefit to embracing a RESTful architecture. REST is the first step in defining a cloud-based scalable architecture. The next step is creating an event-driven architecture.
Deploying to the Cloud
This paper has presented an overview of a cloud-based architecture and provided a cursory look at REST and EDA. Now let's review how such an application can be deployed to and leverage the power of the cloud.
Deploying RESTful Services
RESTful web services, or the operations that manage RESTful resources, are deployed to a web container and should be placed in front of the data store that contains their data. These web services are themselves stateless and only reflect the state of the underlying data they expose, so you are able to use as many instances of these servers as you need. In a cloud-based deployment, start enough server instances to handle your normal load and then configure the elasticity of those services so that new server instances are added as these services become saturated and the number of server instances is reduced when load returns to normal. The best indicator of saturation is the response time of the services, although system resources such as CPU, physical memory, and VM memory are good indicators to monitor as well. As you are scaling these services, always be cognizant of the performance of the underlying data stores that the services are calling and do not bring those data stores to their knees.
The above graphics shows that the services that interact with Document Store 1 can be deployed separately, and thus scaled independently, from the services that interact with Document Store 2. If Service Tier 1 needs more capacity then add more server instances to Service Tier 1 and then distribute load to the new servers.
Deploying an ESB
The choice of whether or not to use an ESB will dictate the EDA requirements for your cloud-based deployment. If you do opt for an ESB, consider partitioning the ESB based on function so that excessive load on one segment does not take down other segments.
The importance of segmentation is to isolate the load generated by System 1 from the load generated by System 2. Or stated another way, if System 1 generates enough load to slow down the ESB, it will slow down its own segment, but not System 2's segment, which is running on its own hardware. In our initial deployment we had all of our systems publishing to a single segment, which exhibited just this behavior! Additionally, with segmentations, you are able to scale each segment independently by adding multiple servers to that segment (if your ESB vendor supports this).
Cloud-based applications are different from traditional applications because they have different scalability requirements. Namely, cloud-based applications must be resilient enough to handle servers coming and going at will, must be loosely-coupled, must be as stateless as possible, must expect and plan for failure, and must be able to scale from a handful of server to tens of thousands of servers.
There is no single correct architecture for cloud-based applications, but this paper presented an architecture that has proven successful in practice making use of RESTful services and an event-driven architecture. While there is much, much more you can do with the architecture of your cloud application, REST and EDA are the basic tools you'll need to build a scalable application in the cloud.

See Kristen Stewart in New 'On the Road' Stills (PHOTOS)
Rejoice On the Road fans! We've been dying for any info on this film for what seems like years, and finally an official poster and new stills were released Wednesday. Kristen Stewart stars in the film based on Jack Kerouac's book alongside Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Tom Sturridge, Amy Adams and Kirsten Dunst.
The cast is about one degree of Robert Pattinson.
Take a look at new stills from the film in our gallery above!
The film was shot in summer of '10 where if you remember, Rob was a constant fixture visiting girlfriend Kristen Stewart. It was a bonus that BFF's Sam and Tom were in it as well!
This also is how Garrett Hedlund and girlfriend Kirsten Dunst sparked a relationship and these two are still going strong also.

Rituals' Hammam collection
I like Rituals. I especially like the last two collections, the Laughing Buddha and Indian Summer, but I think this time Rituals has outdone itself with a makeover of their Hammam collection*. I'm not familiar with the original but the new collection is nothing short of divine and it's right up my street as I bloody love hammams.
To me a hammam is the ultimate cleansing and beautifying treatment. It's a tradition that has stood the test of time, centuries old yet undisputed and thankfully still part of local culture in countries like Turkey and Morocco (which I am envious of).
Fortunately Rituals' new look Hammam collection brings a taste of a hammam to your private bathroom. The Hot Scrub is now available in a bigger, transparent jar to keep skin smoother and softer for longer, while the Hammam Body Mud has been reformulated with mineral-rich Rhassoul Clay, to nourish and revitalise.
There are nine products in the range of which I've been indulging in four. Hammam Olive Secret (£8.50/150ml) is a shower paste that is the same colour and consistency of Vicks Vapour Rub but that it cleanses and prepares the skin for exfoliation. It contains eucalyptus so be weary if you're not keen on the smell. I love it and it's just what is needed as the days are getting colder.
The Hammam Hot Scrub (£19.50/250ml) is a favourite of mine as I love a good scrub and this certainly lives up to my expectations. It contains natural purifying sea salt, warming ginger and eucalyptus. The scrub is quite potent, allowing the scent to boost your mood and unblock your sinuses if you have a cold but it's also of a gritty texture which makes for an effective treatment.
There is also a foaming shower gel courtesy of Hammam Delight (£8.50/200ml), which is enriched with eucalyptus (yep, that again) and rosemary, and Spark of Hammam, a nourishing body lotion (£12.50/250ml).
I am keen to try some other bits from the vast range such as the scented candle, fragrance sticks, bath oil and the body mud, so I will be hot-footing it down to my nearest Rituals shop and filling my basket.
The renewed Hammam collection is out now at Rituals stores and online as well as selected House of Fraser and John Lewis stores.
Make a Date at Westfield
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This was certainly true when I was on holiday and Do Not Refreeze's Leanne howled it had been more than a week since we'd seen each other. Well at the weekend after two whole weeks we made a date at Westfield Stratford City to catch up. And it didn't involve our usual jaunts to a beauty launch.
Westfield Stratford City is conveniently close for Leanne and an easy drive along the A406 for me. It was also a nice change to venture east as I'm always at Westfield London.
Turning up at 11 o'clock in the morning, we were amazed to see how blissfully chilled out and empty Westfield Stratford City was for a Saturday. The calm before the storm… My suggestion is get here in the morning to take advantage because come 2 o'clock, it's a different story altogether.
We planned to see what Westfield Stratford City had to offer to a couple of beauty junkies so we headed straight to Tantrum for a manicure first. It would be rude not to since we are beauty bloggers…
Having had naked nails for the past fortnight, I was in need of a splash of colour and a re-shape after breaking two of them. Leanne likes to be awkward so she presented her talons covered in glitter. Her manicurist didn't bat an eyelid and happily removed it.
Tantrum is a new face on the high street and their first and flagship store is in Westfield Stratford City. It opened last summer as a pop-up store but recently underwent a makeover, making its permanent mark in the mall. You'll find it on lower ground floor in between the food court and Great Eastern Market.
From outside it doesn't give the game away but when you step inside, it's a haven for jewellery, hair, nails and make-up for the fashion conscious yet affordable. We were thrilled to see cherry-picked Nubar and Mavala polishes as well as Bourjois and Jessica, plus skin care from Elemis and Amie on sale.
Tantrum's nail bar is at the back where you can perch yourself on a stool, order a cold drink and get your nails done. Leanne and I both had a mini manicure, which costs £10. As our manicurists beautified our nails, I was entertained by Leanne's tales and anecdotes (the details of which I cannot disclose…).
Our next destination was a short stroll away at Neal's Yard for an express facial. We had a skin consultation and discussed our main concerns before our therapist selected the best products to use.
I much prefer cleansing balms to take off my make-up so their award-winning Wild Rose Beauty Balm was used, which was perfect for tackling dehydrated skin – something I complain about quite a bit. This was followed by the Rejuvenating Frankincense Toner and Rejuvenating Frankincense Facial Serum, both which are elasticity-boosting and give the skin a radiant glow.
With our complexions glowing, the finishing touch came from some light make-up from Neal's Yard mineral range of foundations, bronzers and blushers, which we'd never tried before. Shocking, isn't it? It was like wearing next to nothing on the skin, very light but with a subtle shimmer and totally skin-friendly.
I forgot how much I adore Neal's Yard for their organic skin care so this visit has prompted me to rekindle my relationship with an old favourite. I definitely want to invest in the Wild Rose Beauty Balm as my next cleanser. Meanwhile we were given a few samples to take home and try, so I may add a few more items to my shopping list.
We then trotted off to L'Occitane for a fragrance workshop and to gush over some of our L'Occitane favourites. Interestingly, L'Occitane at Westfield Stratford City hosts monthly events in the evenings that you can bring all your girlfriends to. It's a chance to try out their products outside of the madness you sometimes get during the shopping hours.
After over 3 hours of being pampered, our bellies rightfully made a point that they were being neglected. We wandered to the Great Eastern Market area tucked away by Waitrose and overlooked by many in favour of the more commercial joints. Our pit stop for refuelling was Umai by Japan Centre – an incredible place that is packed with so much in such a small amount of space.
It has a counter serving piping hot noodles and crisp tempura, fresh handmade organic sushi on the other side and it's also a mini supermarket selling authentic Japanese ingredients to set you off on your Japanese cooking adventures.
We ordered deep fried sweet potato and asparagus as sides while Leanne opted for beef and rice and I chose crispy fried king prawns and vegetables with sticky rice for our mains.
The staff at Umai are so warm, friendly and adorable, and the food served is delicious, filling and such good value. I think our main meals were under £10 each. Next time I'm taking away a sushi box – far more appetising than the standard supermarket offerings.
Our final stop? The shops of course. Like we were going to leave without buying at least one or two little things…
The best quote of the day came from Leanne (naturally): "We look like a frigging zebra crossing – you're so dark and I'm so pale".
I *love* this girl.
Leanne and I finally left Westfield after 4 o'clock that afternoon – more than 4 hours later. We did well not to be over zealous in the shops and in fact, had a better time enjoying each other's company and discovering other things Westfield has to offer.
You can make a date at any of Westfield's shopping centres across the country – Westfield London, Westfield Stratford City, Westfield Derby and Westfield Merry Hill. If you pop along to either of the London ones, your visit can be made that little bit sweeter with some special offers on eating out and at the cinema until 5th June.
For more information, visit http://uk.westfield.com/stratfordcity/news-and-events/make-a-date/.
*We were invited by Westfield to experience 'Make a Date' and received complimentary treatments and food courtesy of our kind hosts.

Hi Robert,
I just wanted to let you know that I have received some more information on my grandparents and your help was instrumental in this. Milivoj Jovanov was my great grandfather and he arrived from Hungary, thru Ellis Island in 1913. I have seen the passenger records and manifest thru the Ellis Island website. But for some reason, his wife is listed as Margit. I have always been told that my great grandmother was named Josefine Borshova? The names of the children don't sound familiar except for Kate. My grandfather had a sister Kate, brothers Thomas and Joseph and his name was William. I am assuming these were their Servian names which were changed once in Canada? Anyways, thanks for steering me on the right track.

Score from 50 reviews Excellent
Easy to find.
Very little hot water Drafty room Broken hot tub Wi fi didn't work
We had been on the road for some time and needed somewhere nicer than the usual motels. This motel exceeded our expectations. We were able to fully relax, chill out and recharge. The staff gave a restaurant recommendation which was superb. Very comfortable, huge rooms, quiet, exceptionally clean - perfect.
Closeness to everything- excellent restaurants, accessibility, location
Ambulance sirens at times made it noisy.
Quality room for a reasonable price.
Nothing negative to report.
clean room, great staff, nice pool area and breakfast.
room didn't feel secure, prior damage on door looked like from a break in. You can hear everything that is going on outside your room, in hallways and adjacent rooms.
Exceptional breakfast for the price of this accommodation
Having a ground floor room with people who liked to congregate and jibber jabber outside door to next room, at very late hours, was a little disturbing.
Room is general was nice.
Cheap bathroom equipment. The toilet got clogged virtually with zero waste. And I'm not tall, big or overweight. I mean - guys, you're building your hotel in a country with 60% of obese population. Why do you install bathroom equipment as if you are in Vietnam with tiny people???
Great breakfast Nice beds Convenient location
The indoor pool was not heated
Lots of updates done since I was there last.
Several lights on outside of building not working. Housekeeper kept coming by room before check out
I like the front desk actually let us come in early to get your room and good breakfast in the morning and great hospitality had very good time there
one little thing need to inspect all ironing boards and irons if possible on blow dryers
Easy access to interstate
Not stores close to walk to
reception staff not very welcoming no lift freezing cold swimming pool poor location
The staff was friendly and made us feel "at home". They could not have been better. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. Check out was quick and easy.
The facility was getting ready for repaving the parking lot, making us park away from any door. The exit nearest our door was closed off and the hall floors gave as you walked on them giving you the feeling that they were in poor repair. This is the first time I have seen a tip jar for the complimentary breakfast.
The room was clean and updated
No elevators. Parking lot at an extreme angle. Definitely not for handicap. I don't know how they get by not following ADA standards.
Centrally located on our 18 day Route 66 exploration.
Air conditioner was set in 60 , but the room feels 80's. Very uncomfortable, carpet is dirty and sticky.
Comfortable bed Fairly clean, bathroom could have used some additional cleaning Excellent location to the hospital where I was visiting a family member
No vending in the building Most staff did not appear to be familar with hotel operation and could not answer questions. Staff still vacuming and getting room ready next door at 10 pm
Price, beds, breakfast was well stocked
Halls not adequately air conditioned
It was clean and comfy
The air conditioner worked but the room never got really cool!! I had to go buy a fan
Fresh great breakfast. reasonable price.
Parking space is not enough. So I must carry my luggages to my second floor room with endurance.
Carpet was dirty. Moved nightstand forward to look for something & found open pack of cigarettes, candy wrappers.
leaving there
Where do I begin? Beer bottles in the parking lot in front of our room, indoor pool smelled weird, carpet was stained and not vacuumed in parts, my favorite was the mattress I slept on reeked of urine! Manager won't return my calls. Would NEVER stay here again. This was our 3rd hotel on our trip and by far the grossest.
Cleanliness, staff , confort , location
Location and price
A/C was inconsistent and didn't cool well. It seemed like the controls didn't affect it at all. It was impossible to have the fan blowing all the time. The staff was cleaning the rooms above us until past 10pm and we could hear the vacuum. Also, the people in the room above us had children running around until past 2am and then others walking around all night. It made sleeping very difficult.

Favorite Thanksgiving Food [POLL]
Thanksgiving is coming up a week from tomorrow (November 27th) and many of us will be joining our families and extended families and gorging out on an overabundance of Thanksgiving food!
Thanksgiving is coming up a week from tomorrow (November 27th) and many of us will be joining our families and extended families and gorging out on an overabundance of Thanksgiving food!
They say that turkeys aren't as dumb as they look. I cry foul. Just see what happens when a turkey goes into overdrive by spinning out of control on his own until the inevitable happens.
Just about everyone is rejoicing with lower gas prices (except if you own a gas station). Prices have fallen considerably since the summer, when gas was around $3.39 to now $2.59 a gallon. I've even noticed a big change in the total at the pump when I go to fill up my truck and I appreciate it as does my bank account!
If you take a quick look at the calendar, you'll notice that Thanksgiving is still over two weeks away, yet that hasn't stopped two California women from lining up for Best Buy's Thanksgiving Day sale.
What do you have planned for your children over the Thanksgiving holiday? What about Harvest Camp from Shreveport Public Assembly and Recreation (SPAR)? Here's the scoop
Imagine a not-too-far-away parallel universe where Americans choose not to celebrate Thanksgiving, but instead Black Friday Eve. Where the holiday is not about giving thanks, but rather preparing for the marathon shopping the next day. What would that look like?
The National Football League and the Dallas Cowboys announced today that music superstar Mary J. Blige will perform the National Anthem prior to the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game Thursday against the Oakland Raiders.
Thanksgiving means the whole family—in-laws, distant cousins, grandparents and grandchildren—gets together to share a meal, catch up and generally spend some quality time together. If you're the host, it can be a challenge to entertain such a broad gathering of people.
Thanksgiving, which we've been celebrating in America for centuries now, is a time of family, food and, especially, tradition. Even so, many of the stories we take as gospel about this wonderful holiday—wonderful if you're not endlessly bickering with your relatives, that is—aren't true at all. Myth, legend and wishful thinking play into a lot of the misconceptions surrounding Turkey Day.
Thanksgiving without turkey would be like Easter without eggs.
But could it happen?
You already might be thinking about buying your groceries for Thanksgiving dinner this year. We do have some good news about the cost of that big spread.
Getting your family in the mood to eat gobs of delicious food on Thanksgiving may not be the toughest task, but you can always make things memorable by sprucing up the house a bit too. It'll enhance everyone's experience, you'll be able to reuse the decorations next year, and best of all, it's fun.

(Jan. 12, 1934 - June 19 , 2009)
Edward Morris Young, Jr., 75, died June 19, at his home in Powell after a short battle with cancer.
He was born Jan. 12, 1934 in Tecamah, Neb. to Edward Morris and Lydia C. (Bixby) Young.
Ed graduated from high school in West Point, Neb. After two years at the School of Mines in Butte, Mont., he spent 1954-1956 in the U.S. Army. He then continued his education, attending a number of different colleges and universities. He earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of Wyoming and a master of science degree from the University of North Dakota.
Ed married Norma Mae Pospishil in Wayne, Neb. on Aug. 24, 1958. To this union, twin boys were born in Laramie. The family then moved to Powell, where Ed taught high school science for 26 years. He also taught night classes for the University of Wyoming and Northwest College.
Ed retired in 1989, and for the next 20 years, he and Norma traveled, spending 17 winters in Ajo, Ariz. He also enjoyed fishing, reading, woodcarving, woodturning and astrophotography.
Ed was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife, Norma; sons Robert (Sally) of Ekalaka, Mont., and Roger (Lori) of Whitehall, Mont.; brother Allen (Nancy) of Albuquerque, N.M. and five grandsons.
At his request, Ed was cremated, and no funeral services are planned, though the family welcomes cards, calls or visits. Memorials in his memory may be sent to Powell Valley Hospice at 777 Avenue H.

Man proposes to prospective partner with games console
Many women secretly dream of their hubby-to-be proposing on a secluded island as the sun goes down. But gaming buff Brain Klima went a step further and popped the question with a little help from Mario and Luigi. According to a report by gaming website Kotaku, Brian created his own custom level within Super Smash Bros Brawl …
not as impressive as the story floating around the interwebs yesterday about the guy who hacked bewjeweled to say will you marry me with a doamond ring animation that triggered when his now fiancee got to a certain score. Popcap games are flying them to seatle and giving every guest a copy of the game as a wedding favour.
I don't care
I just want them to bring out smash bros on the wii in the uk, we've been waiting too bloody long.
RE: hmm...
Seems like a good way to ensure your future wife is geeky enough. Make sure that you put the message somewhere in the game that is hard to miss, but deep enough in to the game.
The only problem for me would be getting my Wife off sims long enough (and the fact that we are married)...
I did propose on a tropical island...
...under a volcanic waterfool. More fool me. If only I'd had a Wii (admittedly, it hadn't been invented at that point - N64 then), I could have saved myself a few bob.
Good luck to him (and her) though. I hope that they get that life upgrade they've always wanted.
So what they're not reporting is that the real thing he did for their engagement was to get it into the gaming press.
Texas Hold 'Em
The only way this would work for me would be if I planted a "will you marry me" prompt inside the Texas Hold 'Em game on my other half's DS.
I guess she'd then have to think hard whether to raise or fold...hopefully she'd let me Poker.

Three-and-a-half decades ago, Ottawa punk sounded like this — that's the Reverbnation link to a 1979 compilation album called Rot 'n' Role, which features such bands of the era as the Bureaucrats, Vendetta, and Winston Smith.
Originally pressed on vinyl on a limited run of 500 copies, Rot 'n' Role has been remastered with six new tunes and is being reissued as a limited edition CD on Friday at Nee'wollah, a celebration of the '70s-era Rotters Club. Nee'wollah (that's Halloween backwards) was an annual theme night at the club, which stood at the corner of Bank and Frank Streets from 1977-1980, and later moved down the street beside Barrymore's, where it became — under the same ownership — The Eighties Club.
The anniversary party happens on Friday, Oct. 31 at Zaphod's with a host of players from the era. Ted Axe of The Action brings his band Sister Hyde to stage, and comedian Mike MacDonald — a former Rotters Club playbill regular — will MC the event. Blackshirt Highwaymen — featuring Rotters Club co-founder Carl Schultz — and Arson are also on the bill. Tickets are $35 and include a swag bag.
At the show, expect an audio tour of the punk scene of the era along with a collection of archival footage and photos from the day, some of which appear here, below.

Super Bowl preparations include air defense exercise

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFNS) --
Fighter jets from the Continental United States North American Aerospace Defense Command Region, also known as CONR, along with the command's interagency partners, are preparing to protect the sky around MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the site of Super Bowl XLVII Feb. 2.
Air defense exercise flights in the area of the stadium are expected to begin around 4:30 a.m. EST Jan. 29, and to continue for about an hour, officials said.
Exercise Amalgam Virgo 14-01, a NORAD air-defense exercise, will be conducted in the greater East Rutherford area, so interagency partners can practice procedures for responding to airspace violations. The exercise is a series of training flights in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, the FBI, Customs and Border Protection, Civil Air Patrol, the 601st Air and Space Operations Center, and the CONR's Eastern Air Defense Sector.
"There are a lot of interagency partners involved in the air defense of this year's Super Bowl," said Lt. Gen. William H. Etter, CONR commander. "With multiple agencies involved, coordination between all air-defense partners is crucial. This exercise allows all of the interagency partners to come together before the game to hone their air defense skills and ensure communications are working properly."
These exercises are carefully planned and closely controlled to ensure CONR's rapid response capability, officials said. CONR has conducted exercise flights of this nature throughout the U.S. since the start of Operation Noble Eagle, the command's ongoing response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, they noted.
"On Super Bowl Sunday and every other day, the men and women of the CONR are on watch, making sure our skies are safe," Etter said.
Since 9/11, CONR fighters have responded to more than 5,000 possible air threats in the U.S. and have flown more than 62,500 sorties with the support of Airborne Warning and Control System and air-to-air-refueling aircraft for Operation Noble Eagle, officials said.
