Good times were had. People were sleep deprived, they kept showing off these kick ass cupcakes, the Capcom guy passed out early, and I kept asking for Tactix's hat. That was an awkward night where I actually went to bed early to try to get some sleep. Obviously didn't happen, but that's ok! Instead, I won the last comment contest of the night and got a big box of swag!

Fuck yeah signed by Niero!

(That shirt is actually from a previous contest I didn't know I won until I checked my email. :x)

Signed by Jun Takeuchi.

I actually got the poster early, and a Lost Planet 2 shirt, but the shirt is in the wash right now.

Huge thanks to Destructoid. You guys have been rocking for a long time now. Keep it up!tag:destructoid.com,2008:168313Defining "hardcore" games, defining "casual" games2010-03-19T13:01:33Z2010-03-19T13:01:33ZI am about to solve one of the great mysteries of life for you. One of those unsolvable questions of gamer life has just been given an answer and I am going to let you guys and girls in on it. Ready?

What defines a game as hardcore? What defines a game as casual?

Nothing. It's the player you define as hardcore or casual and how far they are willing to take the game.

Take this for example. My mom fucking loves Zoo World on Facebook. If she isn't working, she is playing Zoo World. She is hardcore about this game. He has three different browsers open, she has spreadsheets going for what kind of animals to breed, she works with people on Facebook to find exploits to get unlimited animals, she has Firefox open with 20 tabs refreshing over and over to multiply her zoo worth. It's insane. I hate it. It lags the whole house internet and I can't play Bad Company 2. She is hardcore about that game.

I play Halo 3 occasionally. I have all the map packs, but I still only boot it up once every few weeks. My rank is always reset back to 1 when I play. It's an easy game for me to just jump into and shoot the shit (literally) and have fun. I don't have a problem with this. Halo 3 isn't a game I plan to play for hour and hour and hour. It's just a game I bought because it was the multiplayer game to own for 360. I am really casual about playing Halo 3.

You can't really define a game as "casual" or "hardcore". Anyone can play any game. It's just how much a person is willing to take said game. SHMUP's can be played by anyone. The hardcore players will be finishing it in one credit without dieing. Anyone can play Demon's Souls, but if you're me then you can run through the game blindfolded knowing all the exploits and tricks. Sure, people will sit around on Facebook and play Farmville or Zoo World just to occupy time, but it's a person like my mom who take it to the next level. It's not about the game, it's about the player.

And personally, I think it always should have been thought like that.tag:destructoid.com,2008:166753PS3 Friday Night Fights: Y0j1mb0 LOVES FFXIII Edition2010-03-12T14:04:31Z2010-03-12T14:04:31Z

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:160208Co-Op talks multiplayer FPS, is insightful2010-01-11T19:01:46Z2010-01-11T19:01:46ZI don't know how many people here listen to podcasts or watch videocasts, but I just watched Co-Op from last week because I missed it and they take a seat and talk about multiplayer heavy FPS'. It's kind of insightful to see people talking about the two "worlds" of FPS', those being console and PC, and how they compare and what they do differently. Now, I've played both platforms for a long time so I know both sides, but sometimes a heated argument will come up about how FPS' preform on PC compared to console or the community of PC shooters compared to Live and some people just don't get what the other person is talking about. I think this lays it all out very well and it's a good watch. If you have a half hour to kill or are sitting at the computer and have some space to run a YouTube video, watch this.

(And yes, I posted two blogs close together. Blow me. Spur of the moment.)tag:destructoid.com,2008:160205If you have a DSi, you need to buy this "game"2010-01-11T18:47:36Z2010-01-11T18:47:36ZIf you've bough a DSi because it had slightly better hardware inside it, you've probably been disapointed since no one has actually taken advantage of this new stuff. DSiWare sucks pretty hard too. It seems like the DSi was a bit of a flopped idea, which is sad.

But now we have something totally awesome that compliments the DSi...

[embed]160205:26452[/embed]

KORG DS-10 was a little music program for the DS that came, got talked about a bit, then went. It was sad because I thought it was very cool but could never get my hands on a copy. This was made by the music company KORG and it mimiced KORG MS-10 synthesizer alowing you to make all kinds of synth tunes.

[embed]160205:26454[/embed]

KORG made another version called KORG DS-10+ which released in September in Japan. It came with enhanced features over the last version and some only for the DSi. XSEED took it upon themselves to publish this in the US and it comes out February 16.

[embed]160205:26455[/embed]

I can't wait to get my hands on this. I always think DJing and mixing music and synth stuff like this is cool, but to get my hands on something simple like this that I can carry anywhere is exciting. To have something that takes advantage of the DSi is very cool as well.tag:destructoid.com,2008:159370Thinking Late at Night2010-01-02T13:22:00Z2010-01-02T13:22:00ZThis is just going to be some random thoughts on gaming I had at around 1am and decided to get down...

--

It kills my soul to see people think originality is a bad thing. On a forum I go to, someone posted a video for Gametrailers GotY pickings. Every console but the Wii was Modern Warfare 2. This obviously pissed people off, but then someone brought something else as equally enraging forth...

"Guys at least that was totally predictable, you should have seen the Gamespot awards, they were such bullshit. Demon's Souls beat Dragon Age for RPG of the year. Yeah, it was that bad."

Now, don't get me wrong here. Dragon Age is a fantastic game, but as far as gameplay goes it is nothing terribly new. Even the story follows BioWare's known four part premise. I'm not bashing it for that. Demon's Souls, on the other hand, gave us completely original ideas and one of the most talked about games of the year (for all the right reasons). Every person I know who has bothered to take a stab at it has come away saying "That was something." And Gamespot, the most well known video game site who I known for reviewing games under questionable standards, gives it their game of the year and that is a BAD thing?

Stop playing video games.

I need to play Uncharted 2 more. I've beaten the story mode and played some of the multiplayer, but not for more than an hour total. Tonight was FNF and we played Uncharted 2 and it was the most fun I've had playing a multiplayer video game in a long time. Not once was I yelling curses at the top of my lungs or slamming my desk in rage over some bullshit death. Uncharted 2 doesn't stop the fun at player versus player tho. Survival and the co-op missions are great. They already supported Uncharted 2 with a free update. I'm willing to pay for DLC additions. I don't often say that.

It also has Elsa's dream perks. When you reach highest rank there are perks you can buy (You buy perks with in game money you ear from matches.) that will put you at a disadvantage. Something like half health, more damage from melee attacks, half ammo. Pretty cool to see that.

Playing Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix makes me wish Street Fighter 4 was true 2D. Me and Yojimbo played a few matches and it was awesome fun. Now that I figured out charge characters (something I never understood for years) I like I think I played a pretty mean Guile. But every time I play Street Fighter 4 I think about STDH come to like the game's graphical style less and less. Yeah, people will probably remember it down the road, but I don't think it will age as well as something like STHD or BlazBlue. At some point people are going to look back and think "Man, Chun-Li looked really fucking weird in that game." Ya know, if they aren't already.

Despite my attempts at not to, I'll probably buy Super Street Fighter 4 too. I hope Dudly is in it, and I hope his gameplay is intact from Street Fighter III. I doubt it is because it was juggle heavy and the only person who uses juggles heavily in SF4 is Sakura, and we all know how well that worked out. (Hint: She's fucking terrible.)

This year, I will complete more games than last year. You can see me listed on the Dtoid Complete Game List 2009 (check out part 2!) with less than a dozen games beaten. That is not even a game a month. That is sad. So this year I'm aiming higher. Even if it's just one over. I'm starting with Torchlight.

I'm going to buy a Wii before the end of the month. Yeah, for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and some other things I missed like No More Heroes (even if it is coming in HD) and MadWorld (even if it was just alright). Yeah, that backlog I indirectly mentioned above is only going to get bigger.

Anyway, that's it. Happy New Year Dtoid.

Agency gets good report on reducing coding errors
The Social Security Administration has spent the past 10 years cutting its rate of errors nearly in half for the medical diagnosis coding used for millions of disability benefit recipients. But now the agency has to start over.
Rather than continuing to improve its existing coding system, SSA is preparing to overhaul it to comply with new International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) medical codes, according to a new report from SSA Inspector General Patrick O'Carroll.
The ICD-10 codes are numbers of as many as 10 digits that describe a disease or medical condition diagnosis. The current SSA systems use a four-digit medical diagnosis code.
SSA faces IT management problems, IG says
CMS signals it will move to new billing codes
"We are in the planning stage for the conversion to ICD-10 standards to comply with Department of Health and Human Services' mandates," wrote James Winn, executive counselor to SSA's commissioner, in a response attached to the report.
The medical coding upgrade applies to all doctors, hospitals and federal agencies. Under HHS regulations, the coding upgrade is to be completed by October 2013, although some doctors are petitioning for more time.
The SSA conversion plans follow a positive report from O'Carroll indicating that the agency has reduced the errors in its existing use of medical codes for disability benefit recipients.
"While the diagnosis codes for approximately 5.5 percent of disabled beneficiaries or recipients were missing, invalid, or unestablished, the number of records with these errors had declined significantly over the past 10 years," O'Carroll wrote in the Dec. 8 report. "The total number of records with these errors declined by about 45 percent."
O'Carroll made two recommendations to further reduce errors, one of which is to enhance communication between SSA's Disability Control File and Supplemental Security Record. However, Winn disagreed with that advice, saying it might detract from the upcoming conversion of the coding.
"We are transitioning to ICD-10 standards, and ICD-10 will eventually supplant our current diagnosis code standards," Winn wrote. "As we proceed with ICD-10, we will work to make sure that the Supplemental Security Record and Master Beneficiary Record interface properly with the Disability Control File."
"However, if we focus on making those enhancements, we may have to redirect resources assigned to ICD-10 efforts," Winn added. "It may not be desirable for us to redirect those resources, especially considering that our current accuracy rate is very high."

Chipper-less Braves expect to go right on winning
That familiar face over at third base is gone.
Time for the Atlanta Braves to go through another changing of the guard.
Goodbye, Chipper Jones.
Hello, Jason Heyward and the Brothers Upton.
The Braves head into a new era with the same high expectations - make the playoffs, contend for a championship - even though Jones won't be holding down a spot in the middle of the lineup for the first time in nearly two decades.
''When you don't have probably the best third baseman ever, there is a big hole to fill,'' said pitcher Tim Hudson, who'll get the start on opening day. ''But there is a lot of young talent on this team. We'll be good again this year and should be good for a lot more years.''
Indeed, Atlanta has been through this before.
Many times, in fact, since emerging as one of baseball's top franchises in 1991.
There were plenty of fans who wondered how the Braves would ever replace Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. Not to mention Fred McGriff and Andres Galarraga and Andruw Jones. Come to think of it, many predicted a drop-off when John Schuerholz (the longtime general manager) and Bobby Cox (the even-longer manager) gave up their posts.
Through all the changes, the Braves have demonstrated a remarkable ability to keep reinventing themselves, which is why they've made the playoffs 16 times and endured only two losing seasons in a 22-year span. Just because another stalwart has called it a career, they see no reason to expect anything less.
''Without Chipper, new leadership has to emerge in the clubhouse, and it will,'' said general manager Frank Wren, heading into his sixth season as Schuerholz's successor. ''I'm not concerned about that.''
A franchise long known for pitching is now centered around baseball's most promising outfield - the 23-year-old Heyward, joined by B.J. and Justin Upton.
''The sky's the limit for us,'' Heyward said.
Wren moved boldly to replace Jones' bat by signing free agent B.J. Upton to a five-year, $75.25 million contract, then pulling off a blockbuster seven-player deal with Arizona to land his younger brother.
The Braves now have a trio of outfielders with power (72 homers combined in 2012), speed (70 stolen bases) and solid defensive credentials. Just as noteworthy, B.J. is the oldest of the bunch - and he's only 28.
''They certainly made some sexy moves,'' said Jones, who stopped by spring training for a few days as a guest instructor but has no plans for a comeback. ''When this team is going well, it's going to be an exciting team to watch. Certainly, those three guys in the outfield are as dynamic as anybody else's threesome in baseball.''
By acquiring the Upton brothers, the Braves addressed the major hole in their lineup - the lack of right-handed power. Second baseman Dan Uggla has been a huge disappointment, while Heyward, first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Brian McCann all hit from the left side.
Even with the Uptons, there are still some nagging questions: How will second-year shortstop Andrelton Simmons fare in the leadoff spot? (Judging by his performance this spring and in the World Baseball Classic, just fine.) When will McCann, who is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, be ready to go? (Probably about a month into the season.) Can Uggla turn things around after batting just .220? (To be determined.) Will they have to put out high-wind alerts at Turner Field with a lineup that includes three players - Heyward, Uggla and B.J. Upton - who struck out more than 150 times last season? (Not a bad idea.)
While the Braves focused on offense during the offseason, the pitching will, as always, play a major role in determining whether they can improve on last year's performance. Atlanta finished four games behind Washington in the NL East and lost to St. Louis in a one-game wild card playoff marred by a disputed infield-fly call.
Led by 16-game winner Hudson and second-half sensation Kris Medlen, the rotation looks solid if not overly dominant, rounded out by Mike Minor, Paul Maholm and rookie Julio Teheran, the most impressive pitcher in spring training but still only 22.
No one will be more closely watched than Medlen, who emerged as the Braves' ace after moving into the rotation at the end of July. He went 9-0 with a 0.97 ERA in 12 starts, then got the nod over Hudson in the playoff game. While no one expects Medlen to keep putting up those kind of numbers, he must prove he's more than a half-season wonder, especially after getting hit hard this spring.
''Sure, there are people who still question me,'' he said. ''It's no skin off my back. I'm just going to keep doing things the same way I've been doing, just keep playing the same way I've been playing, just being aggressive and confident in my abilities and my ability to get guys out.''
The bullpen is where the Braves' arms really shine, led by dominating closer Craig Kimbrel. Last year, he had one of the greatest seasons for a reliever in baseball history - 42 saves, a 1.01 ERA, 116 strikeouts in 62 2-3 innings (or, to put it another way, he fanned more than half of the 231 batters he faced).
With Eric O'Flaherty, Jonny Venters and newcomer Jordan Walden setting things up for Kimbrel, manager Fredi Gonzalez and the Braves figure to be in an enviable position if they're leading after six innings.
No matter what, the Braves go into this season with the same approach as always.
No Chipper? No problem.
''I feel that this is the best team we've had since I've been general manager,'' Wren said. ''Now we have to go out and prove it.''

I first met Bijou Basin at Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene, OR this past summer. The owners were so informative and helpful.
I usually buy fiber, but was immediately tantalized by their booth and products. I bought yarn for a sweater and a poncho.. I loved the feel and workability of this yarn so I just sent an order for more. I have been knitting quite a few years, and this is one of the nicest yearns I've ever worked with. You won't be disappointed !

I bought this yarn to complete the Bronte Lace Shawl in Love of Knitting magazine (it was the exact yarn used in the pattern). Ordering was easy, the yarn arrived quickly, and I am in love with how soft and light this yarn feels!! Glad I bought extra skeins; I plan on making soft socks for myself and for friends with the leftovers!

I bought this for a friend, and she loved the color and texture. She said she wished she had enough skeins to make into a bed so she could sleep on them.
Posted by Lesley on 30th May 2014
This yarn is awesome! Even if you are faced with frogging it will frog for you. It's soft and I'm loving the feel and color. I will be finding a reason to order more. Lol
Posted by Patricia Williams on 25th May 2014
The yarn is beautiful and I love working with it. It has a beautiful sheen to it.

I am finishing up with the last yak yarn I purchased (sock) however not making socks but a wonderful scarf. I had to have some more of this yarn waiting so I tried the yak and silk I can already tell I am going to love this also. I can see more Yak in my future1

I have been working at DevExpertsPros
Sophisticated projects, small and large, short and "eternal" - one will find its best fit to work on.
Relatively flat hierarchy, not much of "from top to bottom" type of management, relaxed control processes.
Sub-cutting edge technologies (large projects), but fairly modern anyway.
Personal performance reviews somewhat useful for career and professional development, if you are lucky with your team leader/dept. manager.
Meals provided on site, 3 sick days, standard 4 weeks vacation, salary paid bi-weekly with no delays in years (except for 1-2 days on a very few occasions)Cons
Not really 100% agile process.
Time-tracking for developers/QA/M&S (semi-automated).
Can't take all 4 weeks of vacation at once - must split by 2w+2w or smaller chunks.
Personal performance reviews are not necessarily leading to salary increase (make sense, but... ;-)
Salaries are fixed in rubles for Russian locations.Advice to ManagementAdvice
More transparency in corp. plans and near- & mid-term goals would help greatly.
A bit more bonus-aggressive compensation options wouldn't hurt either.

Surprise! FTC Drops Google Anti-Trust Case
I'm wondering if Liberals and Occupiers will protest against what appears to be yet another Big Company involved in a pay for play scheme to avoid punishment? Anyhow, there are two big stories over at Politico about how Google beat the feds, the first linked by Drudge, more about the nuts and bolts of the deal, and the other
(Politico) Google escaped from a nearly two-year federal antitrust probe with only a few scratches by proving that the best defense is a good offense.
Instead of ignoring Washington – as rival Microsoft did before its costly monopolization trial in the 1990s – Google spent about $25 million in lobbying, made an effort to cozy up to the Obama administration and hired influential Republicans and former regulators. The company even consulted with the late Robert Bork and The Heritage Foundation and met with senators like John Kerry to make its case. In other words, these traditional outsiders worked the system from the inside.
It was all an old-school play for a company that long rejected the notion of lobbying in Washington. In February 2012, the company snapped up former Rep. Susan Molinari, a Republican insider, to lead its Washington team. She proved to be the political complement to Schmidt, who during the investigation donated for a second time to the Obama administration and much later appeared with top aide Jim Messina at the president's reelection headquarters. The company grabbed headlines when it hired up Suzanne Michel, one of the FTC's top patent experts, much earlier in the agency's investigation.
What they really do not delve into is
- Google contributed $736,554 to Obama's 2012 re-election (only $30k to Romney)
- Donated $128,517 to Obama's first coronation, er, inauguration
- Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt donated $25k to the inauguration
- CEO Larry Page gave $25k to inauguration
- Senior VP David Drummond gave $25k
- Others in the senior management team donated smaller sums
- Larry Page was involved with multiple big money fundraisers for Obama during the 2012 cycle
Must be nice.

As one of the oldest grape varietals in the world, the Muscat grape has a huge amount of variation in its character, flavors and even color As such, it is a wildly popular grape in several different countries, and its hardiness and reliability, coupled with its excellent characteristics makes it a highly popular grape varietal with wineries looking to produce fine and elegant wines with a wide appeal. One of the key attributes of Muscat varietal grapes is the fact that they have proven themselves to be highly versatile. Indeed, Muscat grapes are used for a vast range of different wines, from superbly aromatic sweet wines typical of eastern Europe, to refined and elegant sparkling wines, dry white wines, and even fortified examples. They are recognized by their bright and sharp fruity taste, and their characteristically floral aroma.
For hundreds of years, the beautiful alpine region of Piedmont in north-west Italy has been producing excellent quality red wines, and some of the most characterful sparkling white wines to have ever come out of the Old World. The region is dominated by the mighty Alps which form the border between Italy, France and Switzerland, and the Moscato grapes that are grown in the foothills of this mountain range carry much of the Alps' flavors in their fruit, and are fed by crystal clear mountain waters. However, it is the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which are the real stars of this region, and the highly respected wineries which cover much of Piedmont have generations of experience when it comes to processing and aging these grape varietals to produce the superb wines which come out of appellations such as Barolo and Barberesco.
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Chandelier Size
I want to change out the chandelier in my kitchen eating area and am wondering if this (see link) would work. The French country table is 48" square and opens to 60" round. The table sits on a 8' square rug. The rug has about 1.5' of tile on 2 sides, abuts a bay window on one side and is open to the kitchen on the other side. Ceilings are 10' high.
The current chandelier is heavy looking and dated - wrought iron & a lot of dark wood with gold accents.
Any advice on the size/suitability of the chandler in the link would be much appreciated.
Here is a link that might be useful: Restoration Hardware Chandelier
What I have been told is half the width of your table, which would put yours at 24-30". High ceilings and the fact that this is a lighter and simpler fixture could let you go to the larger side, but that is too large. Think about it -- that's almost as wide as your table is when not open -- just 5 inches from either side. It is over-sized even if you have the table open. It would also be hanging less than a foot from the ceiling and with a fixture that is over 3-1/2 feet high, I think it will feel cramped there too. Sorry. I like the fixture, but you need it in a smaller size.
Have you measured the current fixture? You didn't say anything about the size being off, but even if it was, I'd want to make sure I knew what my starting point was. I cut a circle out of poster board to verify the size of the fixture I'm putting in our bedroom, but 38" will take two sheets.
Hi lascatx,
You are, of course, correct. I just love the light, but i knew that fundamentally it was too big. I guess I was just hoping for one of those "sure go for it" responses. The current light is 30" wide and about as high, but it is big and heavy looking. I am on the hunt for a smaller fixture that is a bit more "airy." Thanks so much for your honest assessment!
I'm still on the search for a new chandelier. As much as I want the chandelier mentioned in my original post - something light and airy; I know it won't work; and I thank the forum for the advice!
The room has 10' ceilings, 3 of the walls are very large windows, walls, are dark red, table is 48" square. I found this light fixture, which I like (although a bit pricey); any comments or advice are always appreciated.
Here is a link that might be useful: Possible Replacement?
I am finally getting around to thanking everyone for their advice. Thank you!
I finally gave up on the Restoration Hardware chandelier. RH prices change so frequently and the $295 shipping seemed a little high to me. Williams Sonoma had a great chandelier, but again based on the advice it also was too big and at the top of my budget.
Googling around I found the very similar chandelier at Pottery Barn, under budget and sized correctly. It looks great! Now I need to find some nice pendants for the island.
Many thanks for the advice. I could not have chosen without the advice from all of you.
cheers y'all

Stopping internet script errors requires a set of relatively simple steps. First, start Internet Explorer. Then, select "Tools" from the top toolbar menu. Choose "Internet Options" in the drop-down menu. Select the "Advanced" tab. After that, scroll through the list of options until you see "Browsing." Once in the "Browsing" screen, simply click the boxes labeled
'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)." Finally, click "OK." This should keep script error messages from popping up while you surf the web.
Hope this works for you.

British-based managed services provider continues ambitious growth strategy to consolidate market position with third acquisition in 6 months
Claranet, one of Europe's leading managed service providers, has acquired the French hosting company Typhon, for a total consideration of £3.4m.
The acquisition of Typhon follows acquisitions earlier this year of Star Technology Services (in November) in a deal valued at £55m; and Portuguese hosting service provider CGEST (in July). This latest acquisition further confirms Claranet's position as the largest mid-tier provider of integrated hosting and network services in the UK and continental Europe.
Founded in 2005 and based in Paris, Typhon is recognised as specialist in web and open source hosting services. The acquisition broadens still further Claranet's existing service portfolio, and sees the Claranet Group grow to over 700 employees, with over 4,700 customers and operations in six European markets. The new combined Group will have annual revenues of over £124m.
Charles Nasser, CEO and Founder of the Claranet Group, stated: "This announcement confirms our ambition to become the clear leader for managed services across Europe, while the acquisition of Typhon also positions Claranet as the leading provider for web hosting and applications in France."
"Claranet's mission is to provide services that help its customers make the most of internet-enabled technology, and to achieve the benefits this can deliver for their business. The three acquisitions this year move Claranet a major step forward in terms of our growth and capabilities, which would otherwise have taken us many years to achieve organically," he added.
"Becoming part of the Claranet Group will create new opportunities for our customers, partners and employees, and they will all benefit from Claranet's pan-European operations, its strong financial footing and the expanded services portfolio," stated Jules Vo Dinh, MD and co-founder of Typhon.
The acquisitions have been funded through debt and supported by Claranet's partnerships with The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Ares Capital Europe and Abry Partners, which demonstrate their confidence in Claranet's growth strategy.
About Claranet
Founded in 1996, Claranet has evolved from being a pioneering ISP (Internet Service Provider) into an MSP (Managed Services Provider), with annual revenues of £120 million. Claranet has circa 700 employees, an international footprint in six countries and although Claranet has grown internationally, the focus has always been on local service, out of local offices, using local data centres.
As a result of the acquisition of Typhon, Claranet will have revenues of £124 million, over 700 staff, and over 4,700 customers.
Claranet brings together the best people, process and technology to provide flexible, secure and cost-effective managed services that guarantee network and application performance. We allow customers to focus on their core business, not IT management.

Photo and video from "Stand up for Jazz" featuring Bill Cosby
On Thursday October 21, in Frederick P. Rose Theater, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton played a short opening set of jazz tunes that deal with humor. Some were directly representational (Wynton's Ellingtonian "Back to Basics," which portrays laughter through a trumpet), some just sounded happy-go-lucky (Thelonious Monk's singsong "Green Chimneys") and some were jazz's best novelty songs (''Salt Peanuts'' and ''Open the Door, Richard''). Then Mr. Cosby performed stand-up comedy for 90 minutes, using a reduced version of the orchestra behind him to cue incidental music to his routines.

On October 20 at 8pm, the Frederick P. Rose Theater played host to the inaugural gala, with celebrities such as former Vice President Al Gore and actor Robert Redford in the house, and a buffet of artists on stage. Wynton was alternately emotive and brazen on "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." Saxophonists Joe Lovano and Branford Marsalis swung abstractedly through "Tenor Madness." Patti Austin mimicked Ella Fitzgerald on "How High the Moon," and Liza Minnelli broke it up with a rousing "New York, New York."

I sent one yesterday that was not received.
Mitsouko is my vote. It's tasteful, not overly sweet and a true classic. Rive Gauche is one of my favorites but the current formulation is a disappointment.
A partial bottle of vintage Chanel no 19.
lucky you. I love that fragrance!
Thanks for the info, Cacio. I may wear some of the old on one wrist when I go next to the mall to compare. But just the small price increase alone makes me happy that I found an old bottle.
It always happens to me with the aroma chemical linalool. I "taste" it in my dishwasher detergent when I fill the little cup. I can now taste it in 7UP. I'm not a soda person so no great tragedy, but...
Yes, the sales clerk that I spoke to said, "Estee Lauder said that it has not been changed." That did not give me much confidence. It is such a gorgeous fragrance. I may go back and buy a back up.
Has Azuree been reformulated? I really hope not. I just found an old bottle from a local store. Just goes to prove the theory- if you like something, don't wait. Just buy it.
Estee Lauder Azurre. I love it but have been putting it off. I just noticed that they have changed the bottle. Fearing a reformulation, I found an older style bottle locally. Whew.
I may try tjis. I got a sample of Kyoto and even 4 dabs wasn't enough to really experience it. Perhaps I should just pour the whole vial over myself...
I still can't figure out- what is MFK?
Congrats! learn a lot about fragrance on basenotes. I also read blogs and reviews. Unfortunately, there is only one shop near me that carries anything of interest.
I agree. Age and any other descriptor you could name is limiting. Just experiment. Try things and make up your own mind.
Fascinating how many fragrance collectors also collect watches.
I collect mid century furniture, Japanese indigo fabric, and yarn- my other hobby is knitting.
The LaLocle is a beautiful watch! I work in a jewelry store and we have a few. One day I will pull the trigger on a Rolex Cellini.
I'm thrilled when I smell someone wearing fragrance. Especially , men. It shows that they care about themselves, and others! And they like to talk about what they are wearing.
My skin is dry too and I get very little longevity, even when I moisturize. Wearing a perfume or extrait helps.Even when I wear EDT, I still tend to only wear two sprays. Any more gives me a...
Roja Dove Diaghliev and Lutens Iris Silver Mist.
Just tried Diagliev today and briefly considered selling my entire collection for a single bottle of it. It's astonishing.
1975- Halston
American sportswear had become a fashion force in the world. Halston epitomized the clean, effortless chic of the American woman.
So thank you. And a big thanks to the people who do splits!
Yes, excellent thread. I have also learned so much from all of you. It's wonderful to see such generosity of knowledge and to share a love of fragrances.
Yes! Plus Sel de Vetiver.
YES! Have not tried the scents in the poll, but have tried and love Maai. It's amazing.
ELDO Rien is one that's been a recent revelation. A great winter incense.
Tried MAAI for the first time last night. Mind blowing. Went to this link to read Turin's review of MAAI. Dead link. Is Luca Turin really gone from Style Arabia?
Wasn't someone doing a split of Onda, Vero Profumo? I just tried it today. OMG! Must. Have. It.

Today, Tauer's Incense Rose. Now for a cup of tea.
Vintage Christian Dior Diorling. Omg
But no matter what vintage, it's brilliant.
I am curious also. I don't have the extrait, but an older EDT certainly smells more lush and rich than the current formula. I have a 90 ' s bottle that was well preserved. And while I don't know...
This sounds wonderful. Is there text also, or just photos? I would love to hear what you think after you have spent some time with it....
Wow! You must have been very good this year!
My family doesn't "get" my obsession. So aside from my split, I won a vintage bottle of Chanel No. 19.
"Dated" is a great term to use. Thanks, SS. I find the use of "old lady" and "old man" extremely offensive.
Did anyone have a lovely scent waiting for them under the tree? I think that Santa doesn't know that I have a fragrance obsession, so I got a lovely split of Serge Luten's Chene for myself. It is...

Hi, and welcome ! I would recommend L'Artisan Timbuktu for it's incense and vetiver, and the incomparable Guerlain Derby for it's combination of citrus and smoky wood. In fact, I am going to go put...
Y is for Yvresse, YSL
PalmBeach is offering splits of Lutens Sarrasins on his Splits thread.
ps. Also, what about Bogue Profumo? Seems to be super niche. It would be great to find a young, up and coming house, also....
I would love to see a store carry Frederick Malle, Parfum di Nicolai and Miller Harris. And a "frequent flyer" program is always a winner for me. It works to establish loyalty to a store.
No is for Nuit de Noel by Caron
I wear it every day. It makes me feel complete as I go out to face the day. When I get home, I usually try a sample or a scent that isn't office friendly.
My absolute favorite is now Azuree. I love Cabochard also. Just tried Amouage Gold Woman and was terribly disappointed. Wimpy.
M is for Mr. Hunt ' s Holiday, CD I Hate Perfume.
My first was a can of YSL, Rive Gauche on ebay. I bought it as a nostalgia piece, as it was the first frag that I loved. It led me to back to being obsessed with scent again.
+ Narcisco Rodriquez for her!
K is for Kobe, Xerjoff
I have not been good. A split came through and I bought a fragrance that I could not say no to. I am not going to count the gift cologne I purchased for my brother in law.
I also believe that one should wear whatever one likes. That being said, I find myself leaning toward more opulent fragrance now that it's freezing out. A warm leather feels very cozy these days. ...
That sounds incredible. Do you think that they will ever release it to the public?
Timbuktu is one of my all time favorites, personally. But tell us how you really feel, lol.
Chanel no. 5 also gives me a headache, as does Poison and Shalimar. I really avoid them all.
This one sounds very intriguing.
Palm Beach, you are a prince. Thank you so much!
Eau Savage, at least the vintage mini that I have, is incredible. I love it.
Thanks. Now I REALLY want them. I can see an obsession forming. I did find ISSM in the bell jar at Barneys. No way I can drop that much. If I can convince someone to do a split, that would be good.
So, I've been intrigued by Serge Lutens lately and want to try some of his scents. But I don't like sweet fragrance at all. I have decided on Chene or Silver Iris Mist. But I can't find them anywhere...
You can get quite a few wears from a sample while you are deciding whether it is bottle worthy.
I am always surprised by this, as I like "men's" as well as "women's" fragrance. Although, I still won't wear Aventus in public:undecided:.
I agree. I really appreciate that they are willing to do this. I would never be able to purchase many of these fragrances by the bottle. Thank you Remik and PalmBeach. et al.
PLEASE do run some splits for female fragrances. I like some unisex and male frags- Remik is a prince- but I would love some feminine splits too.
I was considering it but I haven't had 500 posts...
Anyone for Lutens Iris Silver Mist?
And whenever you can, list or photograph the batch code. I am always leary unless I can see it. I also look for things like a list of ingredients or the lack of one if it is vintage. And you would...
What a great idea. I've signed up for one split, but other than that, I'm in.
Thanks for posting these. I had never read them before. They are good. And I will continue to look at yours, fortheloveoffragrance!
What a treat! He sounds lovely.
Vicks Vapo Rub.
31 Rue Cambon would be awesome.
Kumquat, do you know when they stopped making these? I have one and am looking for a refill. I would prefer vintage, so if they stopped making it in the 90's, I will look for the refill on ebay and...
Thanks for the link. Can't wait for Maai.
+1 Chanel No. 19! And what about Parfum de Nicolai Le Temp un Fete?
I agree that the hunt for one's Holy Grail scent is the fun of it.
I think that I have found my Leather Holy Grail. Sampled Azuree yesterday. It's just right for me. Not that that will stop me...
Arabie by Serge Lutens sounds like something that you may like. The only question is whether it may be too much in the heat.
Pm'd you for a share of Mito, pls.
Sent PM to PB. Thanks for the heads up.
Diana Vreeland, Absolutely Vital
Dear Rose, Sympathy for the Sun
Vero Profumo, Mito
any would be fun.....
I work in a jewelry store and this is a common problem for customers. I have to work on watches that are impregnated with fragrances that I hate. We have a customer that reeks of White Diamonds....
Thanks very much. I'm going to try it this weekend.
I know. It wasn't in the budget for me at that time. When I finally went to pull the trigger, poof, gone. But I will keep my eyes open for the next one! Thanks, Remik.
That's basically my method. ..

Fascinating! And what an interesting way to experience scent! Thank you for the link.
Do you choose based on your mood? The weather? What you are doing that day? Or do you have a rotation? It was so easy when I just had one signature scent. Now, it takes me a long time to choose....
Least: sweet or gourmand
Most: mossy chypre or woods
I'm in.
I personally like the thrill of the auction but some probably find 'buy it now' easier.
Darn. If you relist, let us know.
I'm curious, as I frequently buy on ebay. Why were they flagged as counterfeit?
"A prefer answer form ladies up to 35 or so (no offense)" Offense taken
"panties dropper" sorry, anonymous. No help for you.
I was so intrigued by the Meerschaum description and a blog article about her that I immediately ordered a sample of Meerschaum as well as a sample of Green Oakmoss!
Meerschaum sounds fantastic! I put it on my to test list. Thanks.
In a perfect world, I would always have a bottle of original reformulation Rive Gauche. It was the first fragrance I ever bought, with my JC Penney employee discount! I am hording one precious can of...
You could also try to find a split on the Splits Board. That was the only way I could get my hands on Guerlain Derby.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A beheading video is a type of propaganda video in which hostages are graphically decapitated.[1] The videos were popularized in 2004 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a radical Islamic militant. The videos caused controversy among Islamic scholars, some of whom denounced them as against Islamic law; Al-Qaeda did not approve and Osama bin Laden considered them poor public relations. Regardless, they became popular with certain Islamic terrorist groups, such as Islamic State.[2]
Early videos were grainy and unsophisticated, but, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, have been "growing in sophistication, using animated graphics and editing techniques apparently aimed at embellishing the audio to make a victim's final moments seem more disturbing".[3] These videos are often uploaded to the World Wide Web by terrorists, then discussed and distributed by web-based outlets,[4] such as blogs, shock sites, and traditional journalistic media. After a beheading video by a Mexican drug cartel spread virally on Facebook, the Family Online Safety Institute petitioned to have it removed.[5] Initially, Facebook refused to remove the video,[6] then did so,[7] and subsequently clarified their policies, stating that beheading videos would only be allowed if posted in a manner intended for its users to "condemn" the acts.[8]
A hoax beheading video filmed by Benjamin Vanderford, Robert Martin, and Laurie Kirchner in 2004 received wide attention by the American press.[36] The video used Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad's logo, but not the group's flag.[37] It was originally filmed for Vanderford's local election campaign.[38] He was seeking Matt Gonzalez's seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.[39] Vanderford's second intention was to point out how uncritically the mainstream media would accept an anonymous video.[40] The Islamic Global Media Center claimed to have made the video, but removed it from their website after the hoax was discovered.[41] The video also appeared on other militant websites and was broadcast on Arabic television.[42][43]

Rain verses fertilizer ?
where I live we get lots of rain at this time of year.So for this year abought 30 inches.It is raining right now.the question is will rain wash fertilizer away? my soil drains real well it is veary poor.For my fruit trees to grow right I normally fertilize 3 times a year.I have a lot of new trees most are showing sings of stress from not enough sun but this nectarine is acting like it needs fertilizer.The other trees look OK it is just the weather.This one tree might not be draining enough or it has a fertilizer problem.More opinions shore would help.thanks
Rain leaches the nitrate form of nitrogen quickly through permeable soil. Even ammonical nitrogen like urea is converted to nitrate in the soil in about a week so it leaches also. The tree you picture is probably nitrogen deficient although it could be something else.
About your only defense is smaller applications more often. Once a month isn't too often.
The tree pictured could be showing signs of poor drainage. The original post is somewhat confusing. It says the soil is poor and drains really well, that sounds like sand. But then the OP says this tree might not be draining enough. Can you clarify? Is there clay under sand?
No clay the trees have been putting up with the water so for.It might be the water can't do much to change it.It is still raining right now.My land normaly drys rather quickly I am on a slight slope.Am hoping it is not the rain.All I know that I can try is to add nitrogen.I have tried to use mulch around all my trees but have a horrendous problem with black ants.Have fought with ants for years.This is an ongoing problem that I have tried almost every thing you can think of.It I tried different mulches even cedar.Only last a veary short time.Our weather is not Idea for growing fruit lots of rain lots of fungus lots of bugs.I just won't give up.
Hang in there John. Your climate is very challenging!!
You might consider applying a slow release fertilizer. I can't recommend a specific brand but there are several like Osmocote 15-9-12. This could be used to supplement your other fertilizer not a complete replacement.
Here is a link that might be useful: Osmocote 15-9-12
This post was edited by fruitnut on Fri, May 10, 13 at 11:57
Good idea, FN. Trees are probably suffering from inadequate oxygen but that would certainly clear up any doubt.
Why would it not function as a complete replacement? You talking about trace minerals?
I thought the only problem with time release fertilizers is the expense- plus they keep putting out nitrogen when you may not want it- like once fruit is half developed.
I'm not certain how well John's soil drains. So drainage could be an issue but leaching or denitrification of nitrogen fertilizer is almost certain with that much rain. The slow release could easily replace all of whatever he's adding now but it is expensive. So I thought add some to supplement the current program.
My soil drains an inch an hour or more 24/7 365. So the nitrate disappears fast. If I don't fertilize garden crops regularly they show severe nitrogen deficiency. I've learned to start fertilizing before or at planting. If not it takes weeks to get things like watermelon growing properly.
John might want to dig a post hole and see how long after a big rain it takes for the hole to dry up. I dug a 12 inch hole and it drained the second fillup in 30 minutes.
This post was edited by fruitnut on Fri, May 10, 13 at 16:21
Fruitnut and Harvestman I really apreshate the info I am going to try adding nitrogen tomorrow will post new pics soon as I see a difference one way or the other.Am going to start looking for slow release to see what I can come up with.I have heard some orchards in Florida use time release don't know for a fact.I have always had problems in my orchard thanks for making suggestions
If the soil does drain well that grass is not helping, it is sucking a lot of nitrogen out of the soil. I understand your reason for not using mulch but it really is the way to go. Why are you so opposed to the ants being in the mulch? What problems are the ants causing you? Here I have the fire ants but still mulch like crazy. A tree the size you show already has a 10 foot across ring of mulch 10" deep. It works wonders for sand.
Anytime you want to send some of that rain my way I will take it:)
Also if the ants like mulch you can always use the final product and go with compost. Nothing in that left for the ants and it will serve the trees beautifully.
A nice light forest compost would be the ticket- airy and porous- the kind that sheds water.
The ground is normaly damp or wet the ants like to just live any where above ground.Then when plants start to bloom the ants kill all the blooms.I have jujubes the ants will kill all the blooms you will not get any fruit if you don't keep the ants out.The ants love aphids and start aphid farms.I have approx 70 fruit trees. the ants will damage all if not controlled.The ants love new leaves on all fruit trees.I use a spray program of spraying every 2 weeks for fungus and bugs and still have to spray in between for ants.thanks for the comments.
You can stop the ants from getting up the tree with tangle trap, can't you?
Some ants do eat decaying wood, but if the issue is dry places to nest you are clearly in a catch 22- both ants and trees benefit from higher, dryer ground, so even trees planted on mounds of existing soil would presumably be attractive sites for ants.
"Some ants do eat decaying wood"
Umm no.....there are no ants in the US that eat wood and I don't believe any ants in the world eat wood. They nest in wood....carpenter ants chew wood to make their tunnels but no ants consume wood.
I would just use the tanglefoot and be thankful they don't swarm and sting like our fireants. Mulch the trees heavily and you will be amazed how fast your trees will grow. How old is the tree in your picture?
Just wonder wouldn't you want to plant your trees on berm like H-man suggested earlier? You have a lot of space and can build as high and wide a berm you want. This will eliminate a number of issue including water log/wet feet issue and poor soil.
I wish Olpea would chime in. He is an expert on peach growing. If I had space like yours, I'd put all my peaches on berm.
If you can't find tanglefoot locally, you can order it on line. In the meantime, you can use masking tape with the sticky side out wrapping around each tree as a temporary measure.

Two of the state's top leaders reflect on the progress of various education initiatives during the 2015 legislative session.
Lawmakers and educators are divided about whether Indiana should mandate kindergarten for all students.
Schools can face a series of indirect sanctions if enough parents decide to opt their students out of the annual ISTEP+ test.
Mayor Greg Goodnight explains why he doesn't think changes to the school funding formula will benefit Kokomo schools.
Democrats voted against the budget, saying changes to the state's education funding formula will hurt many public schools.
The number of Indiana students receiving vouchers increased by almost half during the 2014-2015 school year.
Those proposed changes included a major alteration to the school funding formula.
A bill allowing the IDOE to shorten this year's ISTEP+ moved swiftly through the General Assembly and now waits for the governor's signature.
The state is partnering with Gallup to create a survey tool to poll recent graduates about how their college experience prepared them for the workforce.
This week education dominated much of the time at the legislature as a series of controversial issues were discussed.

'Few people have his warmth and spontaneity; it's an act you'd gladly watch again and again' (The Skinny).
