NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- If loyal customers don't want a new version of your product, it doesn't mean they've fallen out of love with the item that lured them in in the first place.
Coca-Cola learned this the hard way after introducing New Coke in the 1980s. Pro sports teams and their apparel sponsors practically invented the term "throwback" by padding merchandise revenue with high-priced remakes of old-school jerseys. Even car makers such as Ford (F), GM (GM) and Chrysler managed to keep muscle cars brawny during recent panics at the pump with vintage-style versions of the Mustang, Chevy Camaro and Dodge Charger.
Just as Hasbro (HAS) still mines its Generation X fan base with anniversary edition releases of classic Transformers, G.I. Joe and My Little Pony toys, other industries are making a killing off recent nostalgia and tried-and-true business plans. We took a quick tour around the pop culture landscape and found four examples of original-recipe offerings that are either more popular with the new generation or outpacing its growth. They're not all as pricey or rare as fine wine, but they've all gotten better with age:

1. Field of the Invention
This invention generally relates to managing base processes and functions associated with a service request and fulfillment process. More specifically, the invention relates to a configurable application for managing such processes and functions in a fully integrated and automated manner.
2. Prior Art
Typically, tools and systems are available only for the discrete work functions associated with performing fulfillment tasks of a service request. These discrete processes and tools require significant manual intervention and/or customized programming to link the processes/tools in the quest to achieve increased productivity. However, problems such as process/tool compatibility, real-time interfacing, and multiple user-interfaces burden the streaming of the overall process, and hence, the productivity gain.
Current solutions for addressing this problem address only pieces of a full solution. Significant manual intervention is required to link the processes together. Even then, consistent reporting among the various processes is still not available.
An object of this invention is to provide a solution that fully integrates, and hence automates, the base processes and functions associated with a service request and fulfillment process.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system that integrates planned and non-planned services, specific service requests, workflow, fulfillment planning and tracking, and measurements reporting.
A further object of the invention is to provide a fully configurable application for managing base processes and functions associated with a service request and fulfillment process, so that end-to-end processes and internal processes can be tailored to the desired cumulative result.
These and other objectives are attained with a method and system for generating a plurality of concurrent solutions for a corresponding plurality of service requests each having one or more service types. The method comprises the steps of defining a set of said service types and a sequence of activities for each said service type; and for each said service request, configuring a workflow of said activities from said service types in each said service request. The method comprises the further steps of defining owners of said activities in each said workflow and a schedule for performing said activities whereby said owner and schedule are defined using load balancing; and performing said activities and monitoring completion of said activities and said load balancing.
The preferred embodiment of the invention, as described below in detail, eliminates the problems associated with manually piecing together tools and processes. It offers seamless integration and automation of all process steps while providing real-time tracking and information access capability. By leveraging, for example, a lotus Notes Domino infrastructure, all features and advantages of an enterprise groupware system, such as security, scalability, mobility, internet access, database replication, database conflict resolution, personalized private views, etc., apply.
Further benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description, given with reference to the accompanying drawings, which specify and show preferred embodiments of the invention.
With reference to
The present invention has been developed and implemented for improving service delivery efficiency associated with workstation environment management. Historically, use of individual processes and tools require additional administrative effort and resources to perform the processes and merge information between processes. This mode of operation heavily relied on the combined skill levels of the participants to create a smooth-running, end-to-end process. Often, changes to planned events or additional requirements created problems within and between the discrete processes. The present invention provides a single user interface, configurable workflows, and automated real-time tracking capabilities to eliminate process overhead and inaccuracies, while increasing information access through a standard environment.
Preferably, with reference to
In the preferred implementation of the invention, a database, referred to as the service requirement manager database, is used. The database could be, for example, a lotus Notes database that is used by the service delivery teams to track plans, requests, and delivery activities for their services.
Using the database, the various teams can: Create plans for services for a customer; Create Service Requests for clients; Prioritize the requests; Assign deployment personnel to perform the delivery activities; Quickly determine which clients must be scheduled for service delivery; Balance daily workloads; Track the delivery activities; View personal work "to-do" for each delivery team member; Assist the deployment team members in the weekly claiming of billing hours to the customer; View the plans vs. actuals; and View the status of plans, requests, and activities.
With reference to
"Delivery activities" are the activities necessary to deliver a service (such as "schedule the client," and "customize software," etc.). Each activity is assigned an owner name (someone on the delivery team) to perform the activity. Each activity has a status that is used to track the progress of the activity. "Measurements" are views as requested by the customer. These include, for example, Plans vs. Requests, Delivery team utilization, and workload analysis. "User definable keywords, rules and tables" include flexible data that can be created and updated at any time by the customer. These include, for instance, field keywords, services, activities, and work flows.
The SRM includes a number of processes. These include (1) Services, activities, and work flow are defined; (2) Plans are created for services; (3) Requests are made for services; (4) Service request activities are performed; and (5) Progress is monitored using the various views. These processes are discussed below.
Services, Activities, and Work Flows are Defined
As new services are needed, various services and related matters are defined. In particular the DCS services, the activities required to deliver those services, any additional information that needs to be collected for the services or activities, and the sequence of the activities to be performed are all defined. In this implementation, the services are defined using the "Service Definition" form. The activities are defined using the "Activity Definition" form. The work items are defined using the "Work Item Definition" form. The workflow activities and their sequences are defined using the "Workflow Activity Definition" form.
Plans are Created for Services
Customer representatives create plans for services by creating Plan documents. Although not necessary, the DCS Site Reps may then commit the plans for DCS services by using a "Commit" action button.
Requests are Made for Services
First, customer representative creates a request for service for a specific client (person) by creating a Service Request document. Then the delivery team rep either approves or rejects the request for service (using an action button). If the request is approved, then Service Request Activity documents are created by the application based on the activities in the "work flow" (i.e., the activities necessary to complete a service). There is one document for each activity that must be performed. For example, a service request for "Notes Deploy" could have five service request activities: "Schedule the client," "Kit the hardware," "load the image," "Deploy to client," and "Close."
Service Request Activities are Performed
In this implementation someone on the delivery team assigns an owner (using an action button) to an activity. The owner is the name of someone on the delivery team that will perform the specific activity. When an owner is assigned to the first activity in the work flow, the status of that activity is automatically set to "In progress." The activity automatically appears in the personal "to-do" view of the person that was assigned as the owner. The assigned owner performs the actual work for any activities that have a status of "In progress." If additional move, add, or change activities are required for the request, the delivery team can add "MAC" activities to the request in-progress by using an action button.
For certain predefined activities, the owner will collect and update deployment details (serial numbers, license info, etc.) from and to the site's Asset Management database. Once an activity has been "worked," the owner enters any "additional information" required for that activity on the Service Request Activity document, and then updates the status of the activity (using an action button) to "Completed," "Exception Review," or "Bypassed." As each activity is completed, the status(s) of the succeeding activity(s) is/are automatically changed to "Pending" if an owner has not yet been assigned, or to "In progress" if an owner has been assigned. When the last activity is completed, the status of the entire service request is changed to "Completed."
Progress is Monitored Using Various Views
Views that may be used to monitor progress include: The annual number of planned services vs. the number of requests that are new, committed, in progress, completed, rejected, or canceled; The number of planned services vs. the number of requests that are new, committed, in progress, completed, rejected, or canceled for each quarter; The detailed committed, in-progress, or completed requests; The status of the requests and their activities; The clients that are currently scheduled or waiting to be scheduled; and The current deployment team workload.
Access to the database is controlled through the database access control list (ACL). The ACL contains group names with "roles" assigned to each group. The names of the people in each group are defined and maintained in the Notes Names and Address Book by their assigned owners.
Documents can be read only by those with the proper authority. Users can only see and read a document if their name or role is listed in the Readers field in the Document Control section of the document. This prevents a customer in one business area from seeing the plans, requests, and activities for another business area, but allows the delivery team managers to see the information for all business areas.
Document creation is restricted by individual forms and by ACL groups. The creator of a document is automatically the document "author." The document author can add additional authors and readers to a document. Only the document authors can edit the document.
The SRM has the following user roles: Admin (Application Coordinator/Administrator); Representative for the delivery team; BAR (Customer Rep); BATR (Business Area Technical Rep); Delivery; Asset Management (AM); and DCSMgr (Distributed Computing Services manager). The Admin can edit and view all documents, change the status of any document, create keyword documents, create help documents, and do anything that the SiteRep role can do. The SiteRep can define services, activities, and workflows, create plans and requests, commit a Service Plan, Approve/Reject a Service Request, and do anything that the Delivery role can do. The BAR can create plans and requests, and edit and view only the plans or requests for which the user is the BAR. The BATR can create plans and requests, and edit and view only the plans or requests for which the user is the BATR. The Delivery can create plans and requests, assign an owner to an activity, Complete/Bypass an activity, place an activity in exception status, and add a MAC activity to a request in progress. The AM can see the buttons on the Service Request Activity to retrieve and update data from and to the Asset Management database. (The buttons only work if the user also has the proper access levels to the Asset Management database.) The DCSMgr can read all documents.
This implementation of SRM is a lotus Notes Database that uses "forms" to create "documents." These forms are discussed below.
Activity Definition Form
The site reps use this form to define a service activity. These activities are used in the workflow for a Service/Service Type.
DBRule Form
The application programmer uses this form to define the database location information. The information is used to access other databases.
Help Form
The application coordinator uses this form to create application specific help for the users and administrators.
Keyword Form
The application coordinators use this form to setup the values of a "user-defined" keyword. The keywords are used for field selection choices.
Reporting Calendar Form
The application coordinator uses this form to define the dates that are used for reporting cutoffs. The dates are used to categorize completed requests and activities in a view.
Service Definition Form
The site reps use this form to define the information about a specific Service/Service Type. This includes the campus where offered, is it billable?, a description, etc.
Workflow Definition Form
The site reps use this form to define an activity as an ordered step in the work flow for a specific Service/Service Type. It includes the sequence number in the workflow, name, description, predecessor activities, successor activities, etc.
Work Item Definition Form
The site reps use this form to define a work item that is used for billing for a specific campus. When a Service Plan is created, work items are selected from the list of defined work items for the campus.
Service Plan Form
The site reps use this form to record the annual plan for a Service/Service Type.
Service Request Form
The customer reps and the technical reps use this form to request a service for a specific employee (client). This includes which quarter the request is needed, the priority, the employee name, id, div, phone, platform, etc.
Service Request Activity Form
These documents are created automatically when a Service Request is approved. A work activity is for a specific Service Request. It includes the activity code, sequence number, predecessors, successors, owner, etc. The delivery team uses this form to assign ownership, track an activity, and collect deployment details.
The SRM database includes several views grouped by user role or task. These views include a Help View, BAR Views, SiteRep Views, Deployment Views, Scheduling Views, Definition Views, Admin Views, and Personal Views.
The Help View shows all application specific help documents. The BAR (customer) Views show Annual Plans and Requests; Quarterly Plans and Requests (one view for each quarter); Plans, Requests and Activities, and Plans vs. Completed Requests. The SiteRep Views show Annual Plans and Requests; Quarterly Plans and Requests (one view for each quarter); Plans, Requests, and Activities; and Completed Activities by Month. The Deployment Views show all Requests and Activities by Client; All Requests and Activities by Campus, BAR, Client; and Completed Activities.
The Scheduling Views show Active Requests and Activities by Date, Client; and Active Requests and Activities by Owner, Activity (for workload balancing). The Definition Views show Activities; Services; Work Items; and Work Flow Activities. The Admin Views show All documents; DB Rules; Deleted documents; Keywords; Calendar; and Any other special views for admin support. The Personal Views show personal "To Do" for an Activity Owner.
While it is apparent that the invention herein disclosed is well calculated to fulfill the objects stated above, it will be appreciated that numerous modifications and embodiments may be devised by those skilled in the art, and it is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and embodiments as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Feeling let down by BJP's firm stand on separate Telangana despite the ruckus in Parliament on Thursday, Telugu Desam leadership is having second thoughts over taking forward its relationship with the saffron party.
Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu spent much of his four-day stay in Delhi meeting the top leaders of BJP -- L. K. Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley -- and convincing them to toe his party's line of "equal justice" to people of Telangana and Seemandhra. TDP sources said he made this as a condition for a possible alliance in the coming general elections arguing that it would be win-win situation for both parties in the two regions. After Thursday's episode in Parliament and pressure mounting from party's leadership in Telangana, the BJP appeared to be caught in a dilemma.
Mr. Singh, Ms. Sushma Swaraj and Mr. Jaitley told a delegation of BJP leaders on Friday that there was no change in the party's stand on Telangana and that it was only opposing the way the Congress was going about dividing the State without building consensus. This appears to have upset the TDP leadership's political calculations.
It is believed to be worried that if it goes with the BJP now it may have negative impact in Seemandhra region.
At the same meeting the State BJP president, G. Kishan Reddy, drove home the point that the top leaders' statements were causing confusion and that they need to clarify the party's position.Kishan Reddy's take
Mr. Reddy told The Hindu later that Ms. Sushma Swaraj had told him that she was only opposed to the way the Bill was introduced and not to separate Telangana.
Asked whether BJP would go back on Telangana if its amendments on Seemandhra's interests were not conceded, Mr. Reddy said his party's national leaders had made it amply clear about its support to the Bill even if the amendments were not carried, as it had happened in the case of other Bills including the one on Food Security. It would bring in the amendments once it came to power, he said quoting Ms. Swaraj.

There was good news on the injury front Thursday with cornerback newcomer Shattle Fenteng taking part in the full pads practice in a non-contact jersey after being out for a few days.
Senior Damian Swann is still expecting the 6-foot-2, 187-pound Fenteng to contribute at cornerback.
"When you get a J.C. guy you don't expect him to come in and not help," Swann said. "With his size, with his ability, he's going to be a very good player and he's going to be great for us on the back end."
Georgia hasn't disclosed the nature of injuries since preseason practices started but Fenteng appeared to have an arm/shoulder issue. Coach Mark Richt said on Wednesday he would not be providing details on specific injuries, but the indication a day later is he may still be willing to give at least some information.
Outside linebacker Leonard Floyd also practiced after shedding the green non-contact jersey.
The tight end group was thin during the opening viewing periods for the media. Jay Rome, coming off foot surgery, was on a stationary bike. Jordan Davis wasn't spotted.
Receiver Chris Conley and Justin-Scott Wesley (knee) practiced in a non-contact jersey. Inside linebacker Ryne Rankin also didn't practice.

We just started riding two Polish Arabs a few week ago and I was curious what you guys thought of their conformation and if they could do endurance riding. The first ones name is Linki and is 22 years old and the second is Desi and is 15 years old. They were out of work for a year or so before we started riding them so please keep that in mind.
Here are some pics of Linki:

Delivered by Skipper Mogapi
Watch the video here (Chapter 18, on the right hand side of the screen)
Mister President,
I make this statement on behalf of the Sexual Rights Initiative and Rainbow Identity Association Botswana. Rainbow Identity advocates in Botswana for the human rights of transgender, gender non- conforming and intersex people.
Transgender persons are faced with problems of obtaining documents reflecting their actual gender identity. The current procedure for change of gender marker is ad hoc, unsystematic and unclear and involves great sacrifice and significant resources as part of a high court application process. The impact on the daily lives, health and wellbeing of transgender persons is negatively affected by this unnecessarily complex process.
When the sex of an intersex baby is assigned, the choice and option of this individual to identify and express their gender in keeping with their gender identity is removed. This removal of the right to bodily autonomy and integrity in Botswana must be addressed urgently to prevent the enormous impact on intersex children and adults of both the mutilation of the surgery as well as the psychosocial impacts on them.
We regret that the government of Botswana rejected the recommendation on sexual orientation and gender identity calling for adoption of measures necessary to combat discrimination of all kinds including those based on sexual orientation, gender, colour, religion and political opinion. The rejection of this recommendation is of deep concern, considering the ways that the human rights of individuals who are gender non-conforming or in same sex relations are violated in their communities, in the health system and in the workplaces.
We welcome the willingness of Botswana to engage in educational campaigns on gender identity and sexual orientation in the coming years.
We call on the government of Botswana to:
1. Recognise the right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons by ending all sex assignment procedures on babies and children and enabling intersex persons to make these decisions for themselves as part of an evolving capacity for informed consent
2. Put in place laws and policies that will enable the gender markers on identity documents to reflect the gender identity and expression of transgender persons through clear and efficient processes that respect the dignity of persons making these applications
3. Create mechanisms for sustained dialogue between the government of Botswana and human rights defenders who defend human rights relating to sexuality and gender including gender identity and sexual orientation, particularly the recognition and protection of human rights related to gender identity and sexual orientation.
Thank you

VIZIANAGARAM: District Government Life Insurance Officer Ch. Venkataratnam told a press conference on Friday that Rs.2 crores was earmarked this year for sanction of loans to the State Government Life Insurance subscribers.
Last year, Rs.1.20crores was allotted for the purpose.

Employee engagement at agencies across the federal government is either consistently great, consistently not-so-great, or consistently inconsistent. This year's Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey shows agencies that have historically at the top are still at the top, while the agencies at the bottom are still at the bottom (when it comes to employee satisfaction). The ones in the middle are all over the place. Bill Dougan is president of the National Federation of Federal Employees. On In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu, he analyzed this year's survey results.

Same for us. Earlier today our item was in the queue as well when we saw it first. It got accepted so the hidden tab is empty for us too.

Maybe the Hidden Tab has become a permanent tab now even if there are no files in it…

NEW YORK (AP) — Hewlett-Packard Co. said a British company it bought for $9.7 billion last year lied about its finances, resulting in a massive write-down of the value of the business.
CEO Meg Whitman avoided calling it a fraud, but said Tuesday that there were "serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy Corporation PLC."
HP is taking a charge $8.8 billion charge to align the accounting value of Autonomy with its real value. More than $5 billion of the writedown is due to the false accounting, HP said.
The revelation is another blow for HP, which is struggling to reinvent itself as PC and printer sales shrink. Its shares hit a 10-year low in morning trading.
Among other things, Autonomy makes search engines that help companies find vital information stored across computer networks. Acquiring it was part of an attempt by HP to strengthen its portfolio of high-value products and services for corporations and government agencies. The deal was greenlighted by Whitman's predecessor, Leo Apotheker, but closed in Oct. 2011, three weeks into Whitman's tenure.
Among the tricks used at Autonomy, Whitman said: The company had been booking the sale of computers as software revenue claiming the cost of making the machines as a marketing expense. Revenue from long-term contracts was booked up front, instead of over time.
As a result, Autonomy appeared to be more profitable than it was, and seemed to be growing its core software business faster than was actually the case. The moves were apparently designed to groom the company for an acquisition, Whitman said.
Once HP bought the company, Autonomy's reported results quickly declined. Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch continued to run the company as part of HP, but Whitman forced him out on May 23 because it was not living up to expectations.
"Little did I know that there was more than met the eye," Whitman said.
Once Lynch was gone, a senior Autonomy executive volunteered information about the accounting shenanigans, prompting an internal investigation, she said.
The case has been referred to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the UK's Serious Fraud Office, she said. The company will also try to recoup some of the cash it paid for Autonomy through lawsuits.
On a conference call with Whitman following the earnings report, analyst Ben Reitzes of Barclays Capital asked who will be held responsible internally for the disastrous acquisition.

If Justin Bieber's Mom Wasn't A Christian, She Admits She Would Have Aborted Him
All jokes aside, you're trying to decide whether or not to have your own child killed, just remember that he could turn out to be the next Justin Bieber.
Pattie Mallette's position on abortion is clear: Had she not converted to Christianity before getting pregnant as a teen, her pop star phenom son Justin Bieber would have never been born.
But now, with a memoir under her belt and her son's next album dropping soon, the Stratford, Ont., born mother is carving out a niche as an anti-abortion crusader, amid reports Bieber may not be comfortable with it.
The 37-year-old is the new, public face of a short-film fundraising project to raise at least $10-million for American pregnancy centres, which encourage women to go through with a pregnancy, not terminate it.
There were reports Monday that suggested the pop phenom isn't pleased with his mother sticking her neck so far out on such a polarizing issue.
"Justin just is very uncomfortable about political issues – especially ones like abortion that are very divisive," a Bieber "insider" told the Chicago-Sun Times. "He's all about entertaining his fans with his music and not interested in pushing a political agenda. … Furthermore, I don't believe he agrees with his mom on this issue."
Jill Stanek, a prominent American pro-life blogger, said she's skeptical of whether the "insider" is really in tune with Mr. Bieber's feelings about his mother's activism, pointing to a 2011 Rolling Stone interview in which the pop star famously said "I really don't believe in abortion … It's like killing a baby."
There are all sorts of people willing to speculate about what will happen in the 100 years from now because of global warming, but how many are willing to admit that the next Einstein, Martin Luther King or Ludwig van Beethoven have been put to death at the request of his own mother?

A short while ago I stumbled across A Skateboard Soiree EP, a 2012 project from Booth newcomer Allday. While this may be the first time you've experience his feel-good, personable style, rest assured that he has been doing it big for quite awhile now. His first feature on our frontpage comes in the form of Girl In The Sun, a cut tailor-made for your upcoming summer playlist. With a genuine, fun style, Allday tells the story of his dream girl, who according to the Aussie, is even better than sliced bread. Ensuring that the record is found to be refreshing, producer Woodz' beat features a slight whistle section that is placed under the acoustic guitar work of Brady James, who also lends his vocals to beach approved, insanely catchy chorus. As if the single release wasn't enough, the 22-year-old has also released visuals that are as rejuvenating and delectable as the song itself. You can find Girl In The Sun on Allday's Loners Are Cool EP, which will be released on April 5.

Rick Kloiber
Published March 3, 2008
Any story about a Fox ad sales executive this year has to revolve around the Super Bowl, which was wildly successful for the network.
Rick Kloiber's story is no different. An executive best known for keeping NASCAR's ad sales afloat during a multiyear ratings downturn, Kloiber brought in more Super Bowl units than anyone else, helping Fox bring in record high revenue for this year's game.
It's a measure of how important Kloiber is to Fox's ad sales team that he was the one managing the relationship with the biggest single ad buyer for this year's game, Optimum Sports director of media Tom McGovern.
"Rick has the ability to walk that fine line between serving Fox and serving his clients," McGovern said. "His focus goes beyond the short-term deal, with an eye towards longer-term partnership."
When McGovern first approached Kloiber about advertising in the game, he had a plan to buy just six spots. Eventually, McGovern bought more than three times that amount, and he credits Kloiber's approach with convincing him to get the deal done.
While Kloiber is happy to take a rest from the high-pressure stakes of selling the next Super Bowl (which will be carried by NBC), he describes the entire process as exhilarating and exhausting at the same time.
"To have the opportunity to sell the Super Bowl is fantastic," he said. "It's the one media event where people actually talk about the commercials. But I'm glad to see it in the rearview mirror. It weighs on you."

Stringer/ string tension question
View Single Post
Join Date: Mar 2007

Did you try the custom string feature? This is your best bet.
RacquetTune works on the frequency it hears to determine the tension and stiffness. The frequency of the string is proportion to the structure, length, and diameter of the string. When using a constant pull machine you are constantly pulling the string at a preset tension. The longer a string is pulled the smaller diameter the string will be because it is constantly stretching. As the string relaxes the tensioner continues to pull the strings to maintain a constant tension. Depending on whether you are pulling the mains or crosses there can be a larger difference.
When pulling the crosses there is friction between the string and the two points where it contacts the frame (same as mains) and all the intersecting points when the cross strings intersects or crosses a main (unlike the mains.) Each of these friction points tends to lower tension. So it stands to reason if I measure the tension on a string directly out of the tensioner it will be greater than the tension on the other side of the racket. I have a video that show that. if you allow the tension on crosses to pull longer you will have much more stretch than a main will have relevant to the string length. That's why the JET Technique pulls the crosses for a longer period of time than the mains, to give time for friction to be overcome.
All of this plus drawback, knots, and other differences has an effect on frequency. For all those reasons the RacquetTune app will never be 100% accurate. So what you should understand is what it is good for. You measure a racket off the machine and at various points after it comes off for a comparison. Also if you string for others what good does it do them is they don't know you 'custom' string setup. So they may get something totally different from what you get. So if they want 55 on RacquetTune and you reading is 57 who is to say who is rit?
Everyone has the right to be stupid... it's just that some people abuse the privilege

|Reviews for Wind Warrior
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 25 . 1/27/2013
Oh hell. I was going to celebrate when Griselda seemed to die, only to receive more bad news. She will be back, and she will be much more badass than ever. I thought she was bad enough before, and now she has the Gray Misty Phantom's powers at her beck and call? Oh no! The poor Ascendancy.
For the Ascendancy! The Ascendancy's enemies will suffer! I don't care if you're Griselda or Unster or Conall, you will all die at our hands!
Okay, getting too carried away there. Anyway, great chapter as always and I look forward to the next! Your stories are as awesome as always, and I love reading them! Keep going!
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 24 . 1/19/2013
Nice chapter as usual! Awesome! I'm glad you didn't drag Aeron's lost journey in the swamp and went straight to the point where he was rescued and brought right back into the action. I think that was very wise. Having him stuck in the swamp for days and running into otherworldly encounters and getting stronger, etc, would be cliched, so cutting all those fillers out was a great choice! Thanks! I probably would have cried from boredom if he were to spend any longer in the swamp.
And Will died? Really? I thought he wasn't going to died, but you killed him. Is it my imagination or all the guys are dropping like flies (except Aeron) while the girls are surviving? None of the girls died, if I recall, but the guys are getting lesser and lesser. Oh well. Keep to your plan, and don't mind me. It doesn't really matter.
All right, looking toward the next chapter! Must say the battle scenes in this chapter is awesome! Yes, this chapter is epic as usual, and you even have a great moment with Conall and his hunting down of the nobles. Good, good, the plot thickens. I can't wait! Okay, see you next time!
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 23 . 1/11/2013
I feel sorry for the soldier. I wished that he survived along with Aeron. He'll never be able to see his wife and daughter again, and they will grieve and weep over his demise. I know I will. Poor guy. Too bad Aeron couldn't save him along with himself.
However, his ploy to backstab the two Dearg-Du while out-talking them was brilliant. I loved that part! Awesome. As usual, your stories are very awesome. I hope to read more! I also hope Aeron makes it out of that God-forsaken swamp and return to the convoy. Did he forget about the fish he caught, though? I mean, he caught at least one fish, why didn't he eat that one?
Well, here's hoping he makes it back to the convoy! I look forward to the next chapter as always!
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 22 . 1/4/2013
Awesome chapter as always! I wonder how Aeron is going to get out of this mess. It makes the love triangle the least of his worries. I can only hope he won't turn into a thrall, that would be a bad way to end up. Maybe he'll run into the werewolves again? That would be cool, I think. In any case, I look forward to the next chapter! Oh yeah, the earth mage scene was so cool! The way they went about constructing a road in the swamp was pure awesome! Nice, very nice. Well, then again everything about the chapter is nice. I hope to read more soon!
| 839538 chapter 21 . 1/3/2013
I was a bit iffy about your use of 'camaraderie' in the phrase "We recognise the need for camaraderie". Personally I would use something more along the lines of unity or solidarity. The definition of camaraderie (source: 1 .com, 2 , 3 Google):
1. comradeship; good-fellowship
2. friendship
3. Mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together
Synonyms (source: 1 , 2 Google):
1. cheer, companionability, companionship, comradeship, conviviality, esprit de corps*, fellowship, gregariousness, intimacy, jollity, sociability, togetherness
2. comradeship - fellowship - companionship - friendship
Antonyms (source: ): bad blood, dislike, hate
It's still acceptable use of the word, it just feels a little at odds with the setting as you read it.
Next, "drilled a hole right in a werewolf's skull." A more accurate phrase might be "drilled a hole right through a werewolf's skull." or "drilled a hole in a werewolf's skull" or "drilled a hole through a werewolf's skull" because the sentence you used isn't very comfortable to read.
Finally, the sentence "So, Aeron raked his brass fingers downwards." Getting rid of the comma and turning it into "So Aeron raked his brass fingers downwards." makes it flow better, and you might even want to get rid of the "So" completely.
And again, great story.
| NoWordsDiscribeMe chapter 21 . 12/31/2012
I see the Kenna/Aeron/Sianna thing might be resolved? Nice chapters.
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 21 . 12/30/2012
YAAAY! Nice chapter! And looks like Aeron's relationship with Kenna is heading for serious trouble. Uh oh. Oh dear. This isn't good, for either of them. Well, it was good to see Aeron's hybridized methods of wind magic, and he is pretty cool! Speaking of which, I had better check up on the poll.
Okay, looking forward to the next chapter!
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 20 . 12/20/2012
Yay! Nice story! I thought the McBain girl failed, and you forgot to mention if the Kendrick kid passed or failed. Well, considering that he rang the bell, I'm guessing that he passed for sure. But that was one hell of a test! It was awesome, well-written and moving. I really like it. Having Aeron hybridize the Druid and Mage Force's ways was a great idea! Nice fight scenes and awesome mindsets emerge from that, and I'm really looking forward to the next chapter now.
| 839538 chapter 20 . 12/20/2012
A few flaws to point out:
Right now, the morning breeze felt like a blunt PRESENCE, like a freight train blaring its PRESENCE.
The familiar sound of splitting earth surrounded Aeron and he heard THICK VINES and roots explode out of the ground. Swallowing tightly, Aeron expanded his air sensory aura a little further and felt the air quiver as a THICK VINE displaced it. Alarmed, Aeron jumped and rolled a second later. He was just in time; a THICK VINE grazed his back and he winced as its thorns cut into his Mage Force uniform and the skin underneath.
To be honest, these are largely the same as before. Your vocabulary is good, but some areas of it are very narrow. Try using adjectives to term "vines" differently, by not directly stating the name, or find other types of botany for plant/earth based mages to use offensively - roots perhaps? Even insects such as bees and ants could be a possibility.
As always, the story's great and I'm loving it. Stay awesome.
| NoWordsDiscribeMe chapter 19 . 12/15/2012
Intresting chapters.
| David Swiss chapter 10 . 12/14/2012
The mine bit is great. Reminds me of this really good book I read when I was a kid. Unfortunately I forgot the name :/ but I digress. Story shaping up well, and as always good writing.
| David Swiss chapter 1 . 12/14/2012
Interesting... I like the little dictionary thing at the bottom. I hate it when you read a great story but can't keep up with all the different weird names/factions etc. Good story.

Great as usual, but I just wanted to point out a couple things you could've done better - ironing out the wrinkles, so to speak.
He scooted to the left on a puff of air, then raised his arms and drew upon the GALES behind Duncan. Fierce GALES buffeted the druid and threw him off-balance, giving Aeron his chance... Aeron fought desperately to stay on his feet, straining against the GALES
In the first part I extracted, you'd do well to get a different word for the gales. The same word occurring in two consecutive sentences doesn't sit too well, and disrupts the flow.
He released a jet of air right at his opponent's head with the INTENT to disorient his foe.
I'm not so sure about this one, it's probably correct, but when you read it you kind of trip up at this sentence. Again, I don't know what to do here but you might consider changing it, as it doesn't feel right reading it.
Just as Aeron prepared another WIND attack, Duncan added his own WIND power to Aeron's propulsion
I would suggest saying simply "Duncan added his own power to Aeron's propulsion", because the repetition doesn't feel nice.
These are mostly just suggestions to improve the flow of the story. I can't find much else wrong with you're writing. Hope this was useful :)

Awesome chapter as always! This is great! Nice life lesson (though kind of obvious to me, who already read and know the same principles of you are who you make yourself to be, and not who you are born to be), and nice to see the relationship between Aeron and Siana growing. However, there's still the childhood friend who is in love with Aeron, right? Oh dear. This is going to get messy. In any case, I'll look forward to the next chapter!
Brian is...complicated. Why would a druid in training want to leave for adventure? Kind of defeats the purposem of training to be a druid in the first place. He probably had the wrong impression of the druids when he signed up for them.

Awesome chapter, as always! I really enjoyed the teachings of the druids and seeing a new style of wind magic! The rebels' negotiation was also cool. So there are non-mages who can rise to the top even without magic, and through sheer skill alone. I like stuff like that.
I look forward to the next chapter as always!
