IDF Chief of Staff Lt.- Gen. Benny Gantz said Tuesday that 2012 would be a critical year regarding Iran and that there may be more "unnatural" events that happen to them.
Speaking at a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting, Gantz warned that "2012 will be a critical year in the connection between Iran gaining nuclear power, changes in leadership, continuing pressure from the international community and events that happen unnaturally."
Gantz said that recent international pressure on Tehran was influencing the leadership but this does not necessarily mean that the leadership will decide to give up on the military's nuclear plans.
Highlighting regional concern over Tehran, Gantz said that Turkey was especially disturbed by the continuing nuclear development in Iran.
Speaking just hours after Syrian President Bashar Assad gave a speech about the protests against him, Gantz said that the Syrian leader would not be able to hold onto his rule for much longer.
"On the day that the regime falls, it is expected to result in a blow to the Alawite sect. We are preparing to take in Alawite refugees on the Golan Heights," Gantz said.
He said that in the short term, the events in Syria will make it difficult for Assad and the Syrian leadership to act against Israel.
However, Gantz warned that at the same time the weapons systems in Syria exist and are being well maintained.
He highlighted that Syria has advanced Russian weapons including SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which challenge the IAF's upper hand.
Gantz went on to say that the threat from Lebanon towards Israel has grown in recent years, and was five times as big as it was in the past. He also warned that strategic weapons could be transferred from Syria to Hezbollah and that the terror group had weapons warehouses in Syria.
On the relative calm along the Gaza border, Gantz said "we cannot be fooled by this." He vowed to act to thwart any terror attack that stemmed from Gaza, while he warned that terrorists there were continuing to grow stronger.

3 Genius Vs Sloppiness0ptimus | 13/07/2010 | See all 0ptimus's reviews (4)Rebellion Software made the original AVP games back in the day on PC, and they were popular. REALLY popular. And so, when we heard Rebellion were reviving this game, we all licked our lips in anticipation. And the final result is.......mixed.The sad thing about this game is that there are flashes of gaming genius in here, really top quality ideas that have been spoilt by, it would seem, pure laziness. Every single element of the game can be split into brilliant and poor, with no in between.The story is identical to the AVP film. Humans find Predator pyramid with Aliens inside, release Aliens, Predators get cross and.......fight. And the story is the first good vs bad element. The three indivual stories for each species are really rather good, but you never feel as though they are three sides of THE SAME story. Rarely will you say "Ohhhhhh, that's why that happened when i was a Marine", and there's no fighting a boss battle, say, from each side. It's a missed opportunity.Graphically, the game generally does well, with some good explosion effects, cracking level design and brilliantly graphic deaths. Predator trophy kills are wonderfully gruesome, as are Alien harvesting, but these also frustrate, as the control system is so picky that pulling these off is often difficult.Enemy AI is similarly two-faced. First the good-the Alien AI is BRILLIANT. This is how Aliens should behave. They constantly run in the shadows, seek to attack you from unseen angles, and run at you when you least expect it. Rebellion have got this bang on, and fighting them is truly terrifying. And then there's the Marine AI. Utter rubbish. During firefights, they will take 'cover' in full view of your Predator target reticule, allowing you to pick them off. As you would expect then, the most fun is to be had as a Marine. Wandering the corridors of the colony with nothing but a torch and a pistol will scare you to death, and although the later levels aren't quite so scary, they're all pretty good.Sound is the biggest area of good vs bad though. With this kind of game you expect the sounds from the films; the screams of the Aliens, the airy churn of the Marines' pulse rifles, the weapons sounds of Predator. They all sound truly ace. And the music is gung ho and atmospheric in perfect quantity, really fun to play along to-watch out for the nighclub scene-amazing. But then you have to put up with the voice acting, with three different voice actors saying "Don't relax just yet marines" over and over. Play Chronicles of Riddick or Uncharted 2 for how good voice acting should sound, and you'll see.Multiplayer is quite a laugh, and although online battles tend to favour the Predator, the different races do make for some intriguing battles.Overall, this game is fun enough to keep your interest, but scary levels and great music won't hide the shoddy aspects of the game. They won't spoil your experience too much and this is worth a good play, but it's a good game that could, and should have been great. Rebellion, make the next one, and ramp it up!
5 Avp is worth the money looking at everything you get.......NC0786 | 23/02/2010 | See all NC0786's reviews (22)I think rebellion have had a good start kicking of the franchise on next gen consolesall they need to do with this game is a little bit more improvement yes which can be done through dlc (downloadable content) and updatesI am giving it five stars because i recommend buying it and i believe it is worth it it should not be compared to other games because I dont see any other game giving you a chance to be 3 different species with a lot of different abilities.Predator Gameplay 10/10 perfect no problemsHuman Gameplay 9/10 no zooming in only can zoom in on sniperAlien Gamplay 9/10 really fun but they need to make it easier crawling onto wallsoverall Gameplay 9.5/10Graphics 9/10 few minors dissapointment like flames and explosion effectscharacter details 10/10predators body could slitly be improved, its hands and face is spot on but i feel the body and legs are letting it down a bit if you look closely.alien is spot on and human is spot onvoice acting 8/10voice acting is good,some voices need to be more powerful and sound more though for example soldiers but Wayland voice is spot on.sound effects 10/10its how it should be, the only thing they can improve on this is making the humans scream more louder when getting killed, and also make some soldiers scream when shooting animals it will give it a better effect.interior visuals 10/10scary, dark and look goodexterior visuals 8.5/10mountains in the distance needs to be improved it makes the game look bad so distance viewing should be improved.water visuals 9/10puddles look amazing just perfect, and other water effect are spot on but the only thing which is dissapointing it is there is no effect when going under running water and when looking up at running water it looks kind of bad.lighting 10/10flares, lights all look great they have got it spot on.story 9/10all three campaigns start of great i think very good surprisingly alien had one of the best for me amazing.however the story does seem to lack in some places but truly enjoyable, basically if you like the franchise you will like it.Multiplayer 10/10perfect nothing needs to be changed.Multiplayer maps 10/10perfect who wouldn't like fighting in a pyramid which is moving nearly every few seconds.survivor mode 10/10reminds me off zombies on call of duty world at war but it is very fun and challenging.overall 9/10lot of people say multiplayer is no fair some species seem more powerful than others this is all wrongit is fair and brilliantly done, all three species have different strengths and weaknesses you can win by being any of them.improvements needed:1) Better explosion and flame effects2) They could be more weapons for humans for example grenades, knife like the one in the predator movie and the predators invisible choke wire the one he uses in avp movie it would be great setting these traps on high ground like tree branches and then distracting guards to them imagine it cause i can.3) Add few more sound effects like humans screaming.4) Improve predator body slightly5) Add water effects when gong under running water6) improve aliens movement there shouldn't be a separate button for the alien to move onto walls it makes it more complicated and you should be able to just climb between walls with ease.7) predators jumping abilities and control should be improved focus jump is not balanced because some times you can jump far and sometimes you want be able too.the normal jump (x button) needs to be improved he needs to be able to jump over small metal fences.8) humans should zoom and shoot.hope this review helps.
4 Great game let down by niggling faultsactiv8 | 25/04/2010 | See all activ8's reviews (17)I was really eager to get my hands on this game - lets face it the very thought of being able to play the part of three of the most iconic movie characters of all time is an incedible opportunity.I went straight in as the predator and I was amazed first by the story line and then by the level of graphics in this game. The predator has some incredible technology. Fans of the movie will enjoy using his heat signature tracking or his cloaking and laser targeting. There are also some nice touches like being able to mimic the marines voices to lead them into a trap. I think this is probably the best predator experience I have played so far. The way the predator moves - leaps - and targets enemies is authentic to the movies and the death moves are fantastic to watch.Playing as the Alien is a slightly different affair. Raised in a test tube before managing to escape you receive messages from the hive and the queen on what to do. One of the best things about this games design is the way the tutorials are seamlessly weaved into the game play for each of the characters and each has their own story line. As the Alien your tutorial is their process of trying to domesticate you. I thought The Aliens movements were totally authentic and the death moves have to be seen to be believed. I thought the controls for the alien were polished but a little disorientating you can run on the ground or on the ceilng but sometimes this ability seemed to turn on and off at will. Still the speed at which you can run through the corridors is incredible.To truly witness the suspenseful nature of this game though requires you to play through as the marine. Tough and able to stand his ground the marine missions is where I witnessed the full levels of this game. All that toughness though only barely manages to even the odds. There are some scary scenes which had me jumping. The majority of the stages are just so dark and eerie I found my racing the second I heard the tracker beep that there was an alien presence nearby. It is here that I found the storyline most engaging.In terms of criticism I found the whole game way too short. There is just not enough of the game to play. I went online but in my view I found it only marginally better. There are some niggling faults too with online play. The game modes are good but I found it took me too long to get started and once the match is over it takes you back to the main screen without offering a chance to do a rematch. There also arent enough stages to play on. The cost of buying more stages as download content I thought was a little cheeky when there just could have been more of the game to start with.Taken as a whole though I think that this game still has lots to offer - the action the sounds the moves and the content of this game are very authentic and entertaining. There is no denying that this game both looks and plays well. Once there is a reduction in price this game should definitely be on you hit list. There are bound to be cynics who compare this to other first person shooters on the market but I could only take so many missions in war torn areas before I wanted a change of scenery. This game offers an opportunity to do just that. And what a great opportunity it is.
4 What the films should have been!Sambostrat | 21/02/2010 | See all Sambostrat's reviews (7)I was a little apprehensive at pre-ordering this game for a few reasons. I didn't want to bother with an online-only demo and, seeing as my last purchase of a movie-game tie-in was Terminator Salvation, I was worried that buying a title I hadn't at least rented first would prove to be just as big a mistake... thankfully it wasn't!The controls took a little while to settle as they're a little different for each of the playable species in the game but once you have played for around 15mins with any of them, you soon start to get to grips with it.Having never played the previous AVP PC games which Rebellion released, I didn't really know what to expect from the game but the idea of lurking in the shadows as an alien or stalking from the tree-tops as a predator sucked me in and the gameplay didn't fail to disappoint.The Alien is probably my favourite as the game includes just about everything you can possibly want from a pure killing machine. The speed is absolutely stunning and the traversing of walls and ceilings soon becomes a breeze. A few have complained about the ease at which you can become disoriented and apparently there is an option that aids in how the camera switches when you're on different surfaces but I actually found it unnecessary as seeing it as the Alien would see it is more natural to me - if that's upside down, so be it. The alien also features the games best finishing moves and being able to stalk in darkness after taking out the lights to hide yourself is pure class. Just a shame it has the shortest campaign mode.The Predator seems to be favoured by most other players and you can see why. Cloaking, two different vision modes to highlight your enemies and an array of methods of dispatching them makes playing as this iconic monster great fun. The game features the predator's plasma-caster, throwing spear, proximity mines and (my personal favourite) throwing discs so decapitating your foes soon becomes par for the course! Again, the finishing moves are suitably gory and grotesque if a little OTT at times but there is a great sense of satisfaction in patiently luring an unsuspecting marine into an ambush from the trees using the 'distract' feature.Then there's the marine. Whereas I have cleared the campaign modes for both of the previous species already, doing so with a sense of fearlessness that comes from wielding the Predator's superior technology and the Alien's unmatched speed and close-combat skills, the marine missions give you a fantastic impression of what it's like to be the helpless underdog caught in the middle.Wrong place at the wrong time? It soon starts to feel that way as you find yourself negotiating near pitch black corridors with nothing but a 9mm pistol, a dim flashlight and the relentless 'clicking' of your motion tracker as the only noise to break the deathly silence. It is truly terrifying at times with plenty of jumps and scares to keep you on the edge of your seat. If this is what "Aliens: Colonial Marines" is going to be like when it's released, they're definitely on to a winner with that one. The atmosphere from the Aliens films is captured perfectly and you're just waiting for a set of jaws to pounce out of every vent or shadow you pass - it's fantastically chilling.Overall, a brilliant game - the best I have played in a long time. It's no CoD with respect to the graphics but the gameplay is good and the monsters are awesome. I'll definitely be playing this for quite a while. The only reason it gets 4/5 is cos there could have been a slightly stronger storyline (as opposed to rehashing the one from the first AVP movie albeit on a different planet) and there could have been more alien levels.Superb game!
3 Long-awaited next-gen AVP game!TrueCelt | 03/03/2010 | See all TrueCelt's reviews (1)This game is a masterpiece. I grew up with the Alien and Predator films and was pleasantly surprised when they made Alien vs Predator. While AVP was good I believe the original films were outstanding works of film and stand the test of time today. Long story short if you haven't seen them then get to it!As far as this game is concerned it really does throw you headlong into the world from those films. I think the game designers put more emphasis on the original films because there are little nods to it for instance early on in the marine campaign you are at a temporary command post and have to hold off an alien assault on a corridor supported by sentry guns much like in Aliens.For me the marine campaign is what the game is all about atmospheric unsettling and downright panic-inducing at times. If you get into it you really dont have time to draw breath and I dont think you could say you had fun in a conventional sense playing as the marine but it does put you in a tense action-packed world where you have to be on your guard waiting for the next ambush. Shuffling around in the dark with a flashlight is a nice touch and it can leave you feeling isolated and open to attack. The motion tracker is a great addition and it leaves you wondering where the next attack will come from with frequent scans necessary to avoid getting dropped on from one of the vents.The Predator missions are a lot of fun and when up against humans you can really delve into the stealth element and using a mixture of cloaking device and sneak attacks its quite possible to wipe out every marine in sight. The heat vision from the films is here and its a lot more defined than the one shown in the original film making it very useable against enemies. Another nice touch is the way marines will fire blind when you cloak and leap away much like the original Predator film. There is also an element of trophy kills with I guess about half a dozen different ways to eviscerate an opponent which is in keeping with the spirit of the Predator.The Alien campaign has the only for want of a better word flaw in it. While the combat is excellent and the ability to climb any surface makes for a fast, free-flowing experience the overall vision of the Alien takes a little time getting used to. If you put a bit of thought into it then it makes sense however. After all the Alien doesnt actually see in fact it doesnt have eyes at all. Its not a big deal once you get used to it but for instance the automatic night vision blurs the screen slightly. In addition while humans are given a green or red aura which although faint does add to the sense of disorientation until your eyes and mind adjust. The abilities of the Alien make it feel untouchable at times. Almost invisible in darkness able to clearly track any enemy climb any surface and with a great potential for ambush the Alien feels like what might happen if sharks were adapted to living on land.I play a lot of games particularly shooters and to me this game is one of the best on PS3. Call of Duty is great but it cant hope to match the atmosphere and sheer feeling of vulnerability of this game. Other shooters such as Far Cry 2 and Killzone 2 are good games set in interesting places but while action-packed they dont deliver the same element of fear that AVP does while the likes of Resident Evil 5 though edgy still cant match the tension of a first person game. The third person perspective just gives your mind an extra second to perceive danger whereas in first person as in AVP it just comes at you. I think this is the best shooter on PS3 and behind Prototype its the second best game available on the machine.

I think the choose for a xml-based file format is good, because as Bryan said a month ago, that it could be used to create rpms/debs through a not coded parser. / rpm xml -> parser - \ deb So the user has the chance to choose what he wants. I also think that we should create an automatic rpm/deb install cd and a compile from scratch cd (surely the user has to create them ;-). > Why we choose XML? It's portable.

I don't see RPM actually compiling from source according to > a set of instructions. Thats not true. rpm can create/unpack/delete/update/install/dependecies. If you put a spec file into a tar.{gz,bz2}, you can create a rpm through simply run rpm -ta bash-2.05.tar.gz, and then there is a /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/bash-2.05-1.i386.rpm /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/bash-2.05-1.src.rpm So the whole ALFS stuff CAN be made with rpm, but why should we stuck on rpm, when we have the chance to create a more general one which can be used to create rpms/debs. What I miss in the xmls is infos like license, descriptions, subpackages, and so on. RPM is featurefuller than alfs-xml format. I also miss support for installing in other directories and cross-compiling support (I hated it when I recognized that a K6-2 cannot run i686 bins, but thats life). > RPM forces you to have RPM installed on the system.

Thats not true. rpm is a statically linked binary which uses those libs at compile time: bzip2, gzip, db and popt If you use xml, it will always be a lib.

But again we don't > want to force RPM or DEB or any format. We provide plain text which > opens a wide variety of backends and package managements (wants an mysql > based package management? Could be a piece-of-cake) Yup. So my opinion on this thread is: make alfs-xmls more powerfull and create a parser, so the user can decide to compile all stuff on installation or use binaries with the prefered packager. This system could be very usefull for sysadmins, who want to create install cds or for people who like to create live-cds, which I want to put my effort in alfs development. To put my opinion in the language war, I have to say: Don't use C++, the ABI is not stable in the g++. C is the thing, I use it to code everything (I'm a fulltime paid C programmer, so I don't like C++, but please STOP all C++ flamewars, C++ has many advantages over C). But for the xml stuff nothing is more right than a scripting language. We use text for all stuff, and C/C++ is not designed to _easily_ write text processing stuff. I prefer python, because of its clean design, but perl is also good, as it's in default lfs. What I also miss is default configurations like /etc/profile, ... That should be a main reason to use ALFS. And now new stuff: What do you think of xml based init scripts? Consider something like this: /etc/sysconfig/network <network> <interface> <name>eth0</name> <address>192.168.1.1</address> <broadcast>192.168.1.255</broadcast> <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask> </interface> <route> <destination>10.0.0.0</destination> <gw>0.0.0.0</gw> <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask> <interface>wavelan0</interface> </route> . . . . </network> I hate all the sh-based config files, because they are all not proper designed, every distro has other configs, ... they are simply not real configs. But with this stuff, we have both the power of real config files and system independance (ever created a system daemon and create init scripts for the distros out there -> the hell). OK, lets start, I want to hear your opinions ;-) So long Thomas -- ___ Obviously we do not want to leave zombies around. _/___\ - W.

The Friendship Factor Video
Find out what you should do when your child has a falling-out with her best friend
When children reached school age, their friendships become as important or even more important than family relationships or when they have conflicts, it's not always easy for them to workout their issues.
Kids are developing a new sense of themselves, becoming more independent and they like to try on different friends, discard old friends as they feel their personality is evolving.
It's at this time stage when parents want to step in and tell their kid what to do, but that's not always the right action.
I always tell parents to think of themselves as a coach. You're-- you're kind of on the sidelines, your kid goes in to play game. When they have trouble, you bring them up at the sideline, you give you theme feedback, you give them some encouragement, and you send them back into the game.
The best way to help, Good Housekeeping recommends is to listen and let your child vent.
You wanna provide a haven for your child. They have somewhere to go to and things get bad.
And if your child has been dumped by a friend, get them involved in different activities.
You don't wanna let your child be sitting in their room. You know, kinda withdrawing. You wanna encourage them to-- to get out and be around people and do things that they enjoy.
And let your child say that there are different kinds of friends for different aspects of her life.
Most importantly, don't get involved and try to fix the problem yourself.
That disempowers that child. It makes them feel like they cannot solve their own problems.
Regardless of what decision your child makes, experts agreed that it is important to support your child's choices as long as they are made in a way that it is respectful and compassionate to other people. I'm Terry Anzur for Good Housekeeping reports.

Correlsense develops application monitoring software for IT operations professionals who rely on sophisticated, heterogeneous IT. The SharePath product suite provides the broadest visibility into where and why application problems occur, covering more protocols, platforms and end-user technologies than any other APM product. This empowers business and IT stakeholders with a complete and dynamic picture of overall IT service levels, reducing the cost of troubleshooting and risk with new application rollouts. Correlsense was founded in 2005, is privately held and SharePath customers include some of the world's largest financial, telecom and retail firms.
SharePath for the Data Center goes beyond application performance management and business transaction management. SharePath enables IT to deliver on the promise of reliable and predictable business services delivery. SharePath tracks every individual transaction across all hops—from a click in the browser through all the data center layers and back. SharePath's unique ability to analyze and model cross-tier transaction behavior based on that data ensures that if a performance problem occurs, you know immediately where, why, and who is affected. SharePath delivers all of the information needed to quickly resolve performance issues.
Fully Automated Transaction Path Detection & Cross-Tier Metering
SharePath monitors all transactions as they execute across the entire infrastructure. It understands exactly what every transaction does during its journey from a click at the desktop through the entire data center, and then back to the user. Metering resource usage and latencies for each individual transaction for every hop provides an understanding of the exact impact each hardware/software component has on end-user experience. This information is critical for identifying root causes of application performance issues regardless of their architecture, both on-premise and in the cloud.
Automated Modeling of Cross-Tier Transaction Behavior
Automatically generated models describe exactly how transactions utilize the infrastructure over time, across all components, and through multiple tiers and applications. Models make it easy to visualize the exact contribution of each component to the end-user experience for each type of transaction. They enable fast discovery of bottlenecks as well as root causes of recurring, sporadic performance issues, optimizing applications and continuously improving end-user experience.
Automated Behavior Change Reporting and Analysis
SharePath reports on data center, application, and transaction behavior changes, showing the exact impact each component has on end-user experience. SharePath pinpoints changes that cause performance problems, dramatically reducing the mean-time-to-resolution of performance issues and SLA breaches. This comprehensive change analysis allows performance issues and bottlenecks to be identified before rolling out new or updated applications.
Proactive Service Level Intelligence
SharePath goes beyond service level management by providing actionable knowledge of how to improve service levels. Automatically generated models enable proactive service level degradation alerts.
Proactive Alerts
SharePath monitors and generates alerts on malfunctioning infrastructure components that may cause end-user service degradation. This feature enables a proactive approach to performance and SLA management.
Auto-Detection of Business/IT Dependencies
Business transactions, services, application tiers, and software and hardware elements are dynamically detected. SharePath understands the relationship between business services and their hardware/software components. An accurate, real-time business-to-software-to-hardware topology mapping is always available. Accurate mapping is critical to manage impact analysis whenever a change to the existing IT infrastructure or application architecture is under consideration—for example, during application rollouts or cloud migration.
Extensive Reporting Capabilities
Built-in and custom reporting provides the information needed to understand the performance profile of the monitored systems from both a data center and end-user perspective.
Environment and Resource Independent
Unlike other solutions, SharePath supports all environments and application components, regardless of how they were developed. Whether Java, .NET, C, C++ or COBOL, SharePath's unique technology has no limitations on what can be monitored and tracked through, allowing transaction tracking, monitoring and management for any type of environment.
Easy Deployment, Painless Installation
The installation process has been carefully designed to be fast and easy. SharePath does not even require a restart of the managed application.
No Integration
Deploying SharePath does not require development or integration—not even code instrumentation.
SharePath: IT Reliability through Transaction Management
New technologies like virtualization, service-oriented architecture, cloud computing and agile development allow business to be more flexible, but it also puts the IT environment in a constant state of flux. More than ever before, managing IT means managing constant change and its associated risks.
Existing IT management tools were designed for managing a static state IT environment– environments where today's system configuration and requirements haven't changed from yesterday, and will remain the same tomorrow. They monitor system components or the network, assuming there is a static relation between IT components and service level agreements. The problem is that the rate of change in modern IT infrastructure makes this methodology obsolete.
Managing and tracking transactions is the only way to tie infrastructure to both end users and the business context. Transactions are the only thread linking underlying infrastructure and network components to actual user experience and business requirements. Tracking every transaction through all its hops provides the visibility and context needed to really understand what is going on in today's complex, hybrid environments. Most of today's IT management tools can't manage and monitor every transaction through every hop, which is why they are effective only for static environments.
The Technology Behind SharePath
SharePath is different. It was built from the ground-up as a transaction-oriented IT reliability platform. Developed specifically to assist companies in dealing with change in their dynamic IT environments, SharePath can ensure end users are not negatively impacted by those changes. SharePath's patent-pending technology enables it to unobtrusively track and gather information about every individual transaction across all its hops, from a click in the browser through all the data center layers and back. It then uses this information to automatically build accurate models of transaction behavior that visualize the exact impact of each IT component on end-user response time. These models enable IT operations to quickly analyze changes and understand exactly what is impacting, or more importantly, may impact, the end users.
Designed for dynamic environments
SharePath constantly auto detects all transactions and their paths. Auto detection works in all environments, even in constantly changing virtualized or private cloud environments.
Low cost, fast deployment
SharePath doesn't require expensive manual modeling of systems or risky modification of application code. A simple installation on the monitored servers and a SharePath backend server are all that are needed.
Designed for high-volume production environments
SharePath doesn't add measurable overhead, and doesn't use intrusive heavy-handed, byte-code instrumentation techniques.
Comprehensive coverage, no blind spots
SharePath tracks transactions through any environment, not only .NET and Java. Even data centers that have standardized on those environments find that they still have critical components based on C++, COBOL, message brokers, ESBs, etc. Only a tool that can track through all those environments can give true end-to-end coverage.
Proactive Service Intelligence
SharePath uses its tracking capability to automatically track transactions through all their hops, creating a model of the interrelationship between each transaction type and the infrastructure. By using transactions to relate components, end-user performance and SLAs, this model provides the context of a component malfunction. You now know not only that a component malfunctioned, but also understand the ramifications of the malfunction.
SharePath ensures IT reliability
When a performance problem occurs, you know immediately where, why, and who is affected, and you have all the information needed to quickly resolve performance issues. SharePath is the insurance you need to reduce the risks associated with change for every phase in your data center and application lifecycle.
Architecture Overview
SharePath architecture consists of a SharePath backend, host managers and collectors, as well as an integration framework that allows you to leverage existing investments in other tools.
SharePath collectors and host managers are installed on monitored servers. They are responsible for collecting transaction data and forwarding it to the SharePath backend for processing. Collectors and managers are simple to install and don't even require a restart of the managed application.
Data from the collectors is sent to the SharePath backend which uses patent-pending technology to assemble the full end-to-end path of each discrete transaction based on the transaction data collected from each collector. The discrete data from each component is stitched together to create complete end-to-end monitoring of transactions.
A Profiling and Modeling Engine analyzes the discrete transaction paths and automatically creates aggregated transaction models (or profiles) of related transactions and how they relate to the infrastructure – e.g., application transaction models. A built-in Repository stores the raw transaction path data and aggregated data. This data can be off-loaded to an external store or warehouse. The backend also provides Alerting and Notifications Engine, Dashboard and Analytics UI, Reporting Engine and Administration Console.
SharePath integration framework enables external access to SharePath's data (e.g., feeding CMDB, integration with capacity planning products). The integration framework provides a Web services API and an Event Management Adapter (for exporting alerts).

Cover Debut! Royal Street Cover Reveal & Contest
The artist for the cover is Cliff Nielsen, and I couldn't be more thrilled. He has done some great covers recently, including the Cassandra Clare Mortal Instruments series, the latest Chronicles of Narnia editions, and titles for authors such as Lisa DesRochers, Sara Beth Durst, and Devon Monk.
So...what do you think? Leave a comment, and you'll be entered for a drawing of a signed ARC cover flat. These are seriously limited--I only have two (the rest went on the ARCs, which haven't been sent out yet) and I'm keeping one for myself :-). The ARC cover may also differ slightly from the final in what author blurbs they choose to use, and in this version my character DJ has brown eyes--they're blue on the final cover. So, as my merman Rene Delachaise would say: "Limited edition, babe!"
I'll do the drawing on Saturday, August 27. Four entries possible, as usual: +1 for comment, +1 for blog follow, +1 for Twitter follow @Suzanne_Johnson, +1 for Tweet or Retweet. Spread the love!

Congratulation in being one of the best platformers of the year! You guys deserved it, and more!
Wow...just wow, thanks to everyone who voted, that's incredible! Thank you all for your support through this year! Quite the after Christmas Christmas gift Cheers everyone!!! |
Cheers for a new year and a better chart for Polara's sales! |
I just played this game after it was highlighted as nVision's Best mobile game of 2012 that you never played. Superb game this is with sound mechanics and varied levels.
But, I think the fact that this game has met very little success on either Android or iOS is all the fault of the developers. You don't just make a game and post it to the appstores, and hope God conjures some magic and brings millions to your doorstep. As far as I am aware, even small indie devs have budgets at least worth $1000 to invest in a marketing campaign, and I do not believe HTH took such an initiative. Remember, making good games is just half the battle. The other half is spending time and money on an effective marketing campaign, which you guys have failed to do. |
I will however point out that we didn't just sit here and expect people to download the game. We did a number of giveaways, hired a PR company which gained us quite a bit of exposure on web media, have done a number of giveaways throughout the year to the excess of almost 300,000+ titles in 2012 alone which cross promote our game on new storefronts, we cross promoted with Get Set Games Mega Run to the tune of 1400 click throughs a minute, we have had promo code giveaway where we asked those whom got the codes to spread the word on Twitter which none of them did save 2, we are trying to get involved with promotions and bundles that would ensure a number of new customers, we have been featured twice last year by Google with Kunundrum, and once this year (this week just passed) with Polara, tried countless of times to reach a Twitter community, did an IAmA on Reddit, that article on Penny Arcade(which was their idea to publish, thankfully they were kind enough to do so) got us the attention of a number of people, I've tried introducing the title to other communities on other forums, tried to connect with Mike's Crazy App Reviews to do a video review and SEO campaign, we were chosen on a number of best apps of 2012 which was spread through social networks, we've tried banner advertising which has really been a complete flop(10,000 impressions on a 250x500px banner and we got maybe 15?), tried to hand out codes to those that could help solidify the credibility of the title(other major talents in the industry like ex-EGM editors, celebrities, major creative forces), have run Facebook campaigns through their user acquisition marketing, ran a marketing campaign through Flurry with a paid supported click through initiative, we have been approached by publishers such as Zynga, Moonshark Games, And a few others but they can't help until we can produce another title that is Freemium. We are looking at a port over to PS Vita and are trying to find places to publish the PC /Mac versions on storefronts at the moment and every marketing team I contact outright says the game must be freemium because no one is bothering with the traditional paid paradigm anymore. I'd love to be able to create a campaign that would push the game further, but apart from rational research that indicated that most traditional methods of advertising are now in fact useless as you tend to run into ROI percentages and people that have tested these waters that say steer clear of these money vacuums. Now in saying that, if you have suggestions, let us know I'd be glad to look into these methods. We're trying to get involved with some other initiatives that will expose the game more through promotional incorporated networks through SDK integration; whether that works is up in the air. Also for your general knowledge, 1000 bucks is hardly anything for marketing. You need somewhere between 30-50,000 to do anything of note really. Also if you're considering suggesting a giveaway I'd also point out that we've done those til the cows come home. They don't work and they end up just giving things away to people that don't seem to talk about it. Though you did say you bought the game because of the article that was written about us by Ryan at nVision which is awesome. Press coverage is great, which is what we've also got a lot of that has helped us so that's another form of exposure that has worked for us. I think it's just indicative of the way the market is shifting. People are expecting to play a game with only having to pay for extra ingredients. It's a fine line we are treading as designers and business proprietors. When 1 dollar becomes the decision maker I wonder what the future holds for anyone trying to make anything digital anymore. In any event I'm super happy you got it and tried it and enjoyed it. That's all we're asking people to do anyway and by the reflected reviews and articles written about us I'd say we've done a pretty good job of creating entertainment Please, let me know your suggestions, where you look, what advertising hits you in the face the most so we can add it to the research on where we should place our ads. Thanks! |
Tq for the mega reply HTH!
I am quite an avid mobile gamer, but the truth is I never heard of your game prior to reading it on nVision. Never saw an ad etc on any major mobile gaming website. In any case, you detail what you did above, so it is fair to say that you did indeed put in time, effort and money into marketing the game. Sorry for implying you did otherwise in that respect. Now, Polara is a great game, but I cannot believe that Zynga asked for it to be freemium. Cannot be true. Zynga has a new "partners" program, and not too long ago (in November I think) they published a fully premium game called Twist Pilot. If having some form of IAPs is totally necessary to sign on with the big boys, I'd say go for it. Just make sure the IAPs are non-essential. Such as in Wimp, where a $0.99 IAP is there to unlock all levels without playing them. Try publishers like Chillingo (I believe they will still look at a premium game) or Crescent/Forest Moon Games. A PS Vita port would be great and help establish your greatness. As would one on Steam. Heck, I'd reckon if you can get working PC/Mac/Steam versions of your game soon, go for a Humble (Android) Bundle too! They always look for brilliant indie titles such as this. All things said, I am liking Polara more and more. The level design is...I don't know, there's no word to describe it accurately enough! I really would love to see a sequel for this. Here's to hoping Google will feature it on the Play Store too! (I don't think they've featured the game before, contrary to what you say). Otherwise, when some money comes in, a small 10-level HARDCORE expansion pack would be cool! Sell this for $0.99 even if need be. Finally, I call on to you to try lifting back the price on Android at least to $2.99 (or at least $1.99). $0.99 is a little "cheap" looking and I know many folks who don't give two shits about games priced at that price-point. Get what I mean? |
There's something missing on level 43 that doesnt let me advance, an item is missing I believe because without a turbo warp its impossible... here is a screenshot:
And this is the obstacle right before it and then one showing the next obstacle... if it helps.... iPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 not jailbroken Please help me And now some praise: Polara, for me, is the best auto-non-endless-runner along Rayman Jungle Run there is... if you are interested, dont hesitate to buy it, but if your on the fence, try the lite version instead. Please do yourself a favor and play this masterpiece. |
I think it can be done. The momentum from the previous blue warp will allow you to progress. Just hop into the blue, change to red immediately. See if it helps or not.
I played on Android so I managed to finish all through. |
Thanks a lot! Damn Im dumb sometimes...

The meat and potatoes of swap meetsFriday, January 23rd, 2009 Issue 04, Volume 13.
"A lot of people depend on the swap meet every week," said Doretha Dungale, who, with husband John, manages the swap meet at the Anza Community Hall on Highway 371. The swap meet brings vendors, their bargains and those interested in some friendly bartering and good old-fashioned community fun. The Anza Community Swap Meet has been ongoing for 24 years, said Doretha, and its a pleasant outing for people to come together. "The same people come every week," she added. "Weve made so many friends." Friends and all, many vendors and buyers feel the swap meet is a good central location for them to experience on a regular basis. While vendors can have regular spots, buyers can depend on the vendors being in those spots every week. Swap meets are known for selling used as well as new items. Those selling used items can bring their old treasures to the marketplace instead of holding a garage sale. Doretha agrees selling and buying used items at the swap meet is also easier for the buyer, because he doesnt have to go from garage sale to garage sale. It is even worth the $10 for Community Hall members or $12 for non-members per booth/table for sellers to pay. Sellers also have the option of coming to the swap meet one time without an obligation to reappear weekly, monthly or yearly. Winchester meet Zeny Nichole Ward owns and manages the Winchester Swap Meet at 33280 E. Newport Road in Winchester. She, too, considers swap meets necessary. "It is the only recreation facility for the weekend in this area," she said. Vendors at her swap meet also sell a mix of used and new items, authentic Mexican food, fresh fruit and vegetables and much more. "Every vendor is displayed in an ample manner and central location," she continued. "We have a park-like setting and try to keep it clean, which isnt easy, but we try." Vendors come to Winchester as early as 5 a.m. to begin setting up while doors open at 6. A tip from the wise, she added: "You need to come regularly and stay in the same spot, so customers get to know you. Some have been with me for all four years." Ward charges her vendors $30 per space. Although Ward does not have any sheds located at vendor spaces available at the moment, Blanca and Angel Balencia find having this option makes their business at the swap meet easier. The Balencias sell mainly sunglasses and a few clothing items. Blanca said they price their sunglasses at $5 to $7 each, and being able to sell them at such a low cost depends what they pay for the item. Winchester attracts buyers and sellers near and far. Anna and Jerry Abston from Hemet came last Saturday, saying they really enjoy this swap meet. "We come every weekend, usually on Sunday," said Anna. Jerry admitted hed seen better days, though. "The economy has really got things down," he said. Even during these hard times for many, the couple is keeping an upbeat and hopeful attitude. For those looking for a bargain, they recommend going to swap meets in general. Many locals in the Temecula Valley and surrounding cities are happy when a swap meet opens in their area. Lake Elsinore meet In December, Marketplace at The Diamond opened at the Lake Elsinore stadium. The response from the community has been positive. There are rules to abide by at the Marketplace. For instance, vendors planning to sell more than twice in a 12-month period must obtain a valid California Resale Permit number from the State Board of Equalization. They must also be at their spot by 7 a.m. If late, there is a penalty of $10 and the vendor must be ready to sell by 8. Sellers must clean up all trash within their designated space before departure at the end of the day. Every vendor must have some sort of shelter or canopy that has been approved and must have some kind of table or shelves for items being sold. No weapons, alcoholic beverages, "adult" material, drugs or drug paraphernalia may be sold. There are also swap meets in Perris and San Jacinto, Los Angeles and Orange County and down in San Diego. For additional information about the Marketplace at The Diamond visit, www.marketplaceatthediamond.com or call (951) 235-4770. The Winchester Swap Meet can be reached at (951) 926-8621.

Harvest House For Women Receives Donation From The Rocky Card
Harvest House for Women in Estes Park became the second major donation recipient from Rocky Card, Inc. on September 23. Rocky Card owners Debra Dullaghan and Anne Smith were pleased to present the transitional housing program for women and children with $1,000 and Harvest House executive director Bob Vigil was happy to receive it.
"We appreciate the generosity of the Rocky Card," said Vigil. "The money will help us with operating expenses to support the thirty-five women and children we have staying with us right now."
The Rocky Card provides co-op advertising opportunities for local businesses and shopping benefits for residents and Estes Park visitors. For only $10, cardholders receive valuable discounts at more than 60 businesses, and the card often pays for itself with the first use.
But more importantly, the Rocky Card provides funds for Estes Park community groups. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from card sales is donated and divided among local non-profit organizations. Estes Valley Victim Advocates has already benefited from the sale of Rocky Cards this year.
Thanks to the 65 Rocky Card members who provide discounted goods and services and the hundreds of local residents and Estes Park visitors from around the country who have purchased Rocky Cards, this year some Estes Park non-profit groups and the residents they support will receive a little extra help.
Rocky Card, Inc. is especially grateful for the support of their media sponsors: Estes Park News, EPTV Channel 8, Reel Mountain Theater, and The UPS Store. The company is also appreciative of the businesses that sell the cards: Ciscos Restaurante y Cantina, Country Supermarket, Dolcetto's Authentic Italian Gelato, Elk Meadow Lodge & RV Resort, Estes Park Mountain Shop, Estes True Value Store and Radio Shack, Local's Grill, Mountaineer Restaurant, Peaks Hallmark, Reel Mountain Theater, Safeway, and Western One-Hour Photo.
For a complete list of all merchant members that support the Rocky Card, please visit www.RockyCard.com.

Map Wars: Rep. Scott Tipton to take stand today as redistricting trial resumes
Posted By Lynn Bartels On October 17, 2011 @ 7:08 am In Colorado Government,Colorado Legislature,Colorado Politics,Crime and Courts,U.S. House | 1 Comment
Congressman Scott Tipton of Cortez will take the stand today as the first Republican witness in a trial over new congressional boundaries.
Also scheduled to testify today are El Paso County clerk and recorder Wayne Williams [3] and Danny Stroud [4], chairman of the Denver County GOP.
Much of last week focused on a map [5] drawn by Democrats that makes major changes to the existing seven districts. The beginning of this week will focus on the Republican map, billed as "Minimum Disruption," because there are little changes to the boundaries, GOP attorney Richard Westfall [6] said.
Seven Republicans and seven Democrats from each congressional district sued in Denver District Court [7] after the legislature was unable to agree on new boundaries. The suits were combined, and the city of Aurora, Douglas County, the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association and the Colorado Latino Forum later joined the lawsuit.
