I like Alex's approach – - in the Video A1Jim posted.
DONT try to make the wheels coplaner. the Top wheel tracking is the important one – the lower wheel is just to give the blade a path back to the top wheel.
it is the top wheel +top guide that determine what is happening on your workpiece. European bandsaws don't even have lower guides.

China's Nobel Prize winning author: Just the juicy bits
- By Isaac Stone FishIsaac Stone Fish is FP's Asia editor. A Mandarin speaker, he lived in China for seven years before moving to Washington, D.C. His articles have also appeared in the New York Times, the Economist, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, and he has appeared as a commentator on MSNBC, the BBC, NPR, Al Jazeera, and PRI, among others.
- isaac.stonefish

Mo Yan, the Chinese writer whose novels burst with burlesque renderings of alcohol, sex, and violence, won the 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature Thursday for his "hallucinatory realism," blending aspects of "folk tales, history and the contemporary," according to the award committee.
Here are four not-entirely-safe-for-work representative passages from Mo's novels.
In which a protagonist from his 1992 novel The Republic of Wine falls in love with his mother-in-law:
As a son-in-law, maybe I'm out of line, but as a dyed-in-the wool materialist, I say what needs to be said. And what needs to be said here is, although my mother-in-law is in her sixties, she could produce a dozen little brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law for me if the law permitted and she was willing. Why does she seldom fart, and on those rare occasions when she does, why, instead of smelling bad, do her farts actually smell like sugar-fried chestnuts? Generally speaking, a beautiful woman's belly is filled with bad odors; in other words, beauty is only skin deep. How, then, can my mother-in-law be not only pretty on the outside but fragrant and appetizing inside as well? All these question marks have snared me like fish hooks, turning me into a balloon fish that has blundered into choice fishing waters. They torment me as much as they probably bore you, dear readers."
During the Sino-Japanese War, from his 1987 novel Red Sorghum, which shot him to fame:
Among the chiseled flecks of moonlight Father caught a whiff of the same sickly odor, far stronger than anything you might smell today. Comrade Yu was leading him by the hand through the sorghum, where three hundred fellow villagers, heads pillowed on their arms, were strewn across the ground, their fresh blood turning the black earth into a sticky muck that made walking slow and difficult. The smell took their breath away. A pack of corpse-eating dogs sat in the field staring at Father and Commander Yu with glinting eyes. Commander Yu drew his pistol and fired-a pair of eyes was extinguished. Another shot, another pair of eyes gone. The howling dogs scattered, then sat on their haunches on they were out of range, setting up a deafening chorus of angry barks as they gazed greedily, longingly at the corpses. The odor grew stronger.
"Jap dogs!" Commander Yu screamed. "Jap sons of bitches!" He emptied his pistol, scattering the dogs without a trace. "Let's go son," he said. The two of them, one old and one young, threaded their way through the sorghum field, guided by the moon's rays. The odor saturating the field drenched Father's soul and would be his constant companion during the cruel months and years ahead.
The opening scene in his 1996 novel Big Breasts and Wide Hips, a decades-long saga of a Chinese village:
From where he lay quietly on the brick-and-tampered-earth sleeping platform, his kang, Pastor Malory saw a bright red beam of light shining down on the Virgin Mary's pink breast and on the pudgy face of the bare-bottomed Blessed Infant in her arms. Water from last summer's rains had left yellow stains on the oil tableau, investing the Virgin Mary and Blessed Infant with a vacant look. A long-legged spider hung from a silvery thread in the bright window, swaying in a light breeze. "Morning spiders bring happiness, evening spiders promise wealth." That's what the pale yet beautiful woman had said one day when she saw one of the eight-legged creatures. But what happiness am I entitled to? All those heavenly breasts and buttocks in his dream flashed through his head.
Also from The Republic of Wine — attending a class on how to cook a human boy:
They came over to help lit up the meat boy and place him in a specially designed rack shaped like a birdcage, on top of which was a hook connected to a suspended ring. With the help of the two women in white, the cage-like rack was hoisted into the air. The meat boy lay in his caged prison, one white, pudgy little foot sticking out from under the rack; it was a lovely sight. My mother-in-law explained, The first step is to drain the blood. But I must tell you that, for a while, some comrades believed that keeping the blood made the meat boy taste better and raised his nutritional value. Their theory was based upon the Korean practice of never making a cut to drain the blood when they cook dog meat. But after repeated tests and comparisons, we have concluded that a meat boy tastes much better and is tenderer when his blood is drained. It is a simple procedure: the more blood you drain for a meat boy, the better his color will be…Nervously closing my eyes, I thought I heard the little guy cry out loud on the rack as desks and chairs in the hall began to bang against each other. With a mighty howl, the students stormed out of the hall. But when I opened my eyes, I realized it was all in my head. The meat boy didn't cry, didn't scream, and there was already an opening on his foot. In a strangely beautiful manner, a string of bright red drops of blood like gemstones hung down to merge with a glass jar under his foot.

wow completely missing my points. i have never said that flight points and hearthstones are a bad idea. they are quite a necesity to get around quickly (without flying mounts). I never said that teleporting ruins a community im reposting on his statement about massteleporting is the same as a lobby game.
What im talking about right now is the world u are using. So but all the things u said, it is justified that you level trough the content and then ditch it all to sit on your lazy ass in a city and just que up for evrything. I could be playing a lobby game instead. it would give me the same thing. and it takes alot less of work for the company to create it. if thats what we are doing anyway.
all this instant teleport shit makes the world partion off the game obsolete. Flying mounts destroyed world PvP as we know it. now there is just ganking . wich is being done by flying mount they fly over see this little guy questing. land oneshot him and fly off. max level people wich don't want to pvp jsut stay on their flying mount all day long. or better yet. inside the city.
Those 15 mins u are on your groundmount is 15mins long for a chanse to run into the enemy and have a fight on your hands. Wich can be fun. that 1 fight can escelate into a war by people helping eachother out and there u have a random event going wich multiple people join. these things don't happen anymore because oh trololol evryone is on his flying mount. what is the use of a pvp server? now all pvp wich happens is just pure ganking.
if you don't have a flying mounts those flight points come in very handy to get to a certain area quickly but removing the option to always be on that mount. so your actually interacting with the world instead of just hanging around in the air with nothing to do.
This all indeed does not ruin community. it just defys the purpose of having this grand seamless world when all you do is queu up and sit in your city.

Now instead of this redicolous LFD tool. if we had a decent LFG tool. just a list of people wich want to go to a certain place or do a certain thing. if people would activly use that then we would have a great community and your dungeon would be fast asswell. + youl be talking to those people thus making friends more easely. This with actually chalanging content instead of the massive zergfest dungeons are would give meaning to the game instead of just OMG EPICS....
The thing is those LFG tools are always hidden out of sight no easy acces, wich results in people not using it all that much. and them complaining they have to spam the LFG channel while there was already a tool in place.

No, I sadly did get your points. They are just foolish. The world was created for the purpose of leveling and gathering. It was never meant to be anything more than that. If it was there would not be any flight points or any kind of teleporting. Not so hard to understand is it? The zones are not meant for mass transit.
Ok, in case you didn't noticed you are on the computer playing a game. I don't think pushing the auto run button constitutes "getting off my lazy ass" any more than hitting the que button. It just takes longer to go from point A to point B. That is not "work" it is a time sink.
The game world is obsolete everytime an expansion is added.Thats just how it is. The ganking of the "little guy" is no different now than it was. If the guy flys off or if he rides off odds are he will be long gone and safe before anything happens if that is what he wants to do. His mode of transportation isn't really important.
If PvP is all you are intersted in world PvP died a long time ago in WoW (I do assume we are talking about WoW). Since there is no gear to be had by world PvP and there is through BG and arena that is where everyone went. I can't believe you blame flying mounts for that. Seriously? WoW is all about progressing your toon through your gear. People will take whatever course is the shortest to get that gear. That is all that WoW is about.
Did it ever cross your mind that perhaps this is the way that most of the gamers wanted things to go? Possibly even the way the developers wanted it to be since they implimented those things that you do not like. Maybe it's not the flying mounts or any of the other things you listed that are the probelm. Maybe it's just you. Maybe it's time for you to move on to a more PVP focused game.
I remember going to Ratchet to farm Bloodsail rep... sure the little guys were easy kills and the rep was slow, but invariably someone from the other faction would show up to farm rep as well. This always turned into a PVP match of great fun as you were no longer farming rep but each other. They'd call in some guildies... you'd call in some guildies... all for the enjoyment of a little world PVP fun. Gone are those days. Gone with it was the good times that were had.
You can't ruin community where there is none. Community has been long gone. Long before GW2 or Rift or TSW or any host of other games have come along. You never had community to begin with, thus the tool can't take away what you never had.
WoW had a community... many expansions ago. It doesn't now. So bascially you are asking a question about a game that no longer exists today. Would removing LFG or LFR bring back community? No. It's gone and it's not coming back. Once you get used to the idea that you can automate your life, you never go back. You can walk anywhere in the world... you drive a car because you can. You lose that car and you will spend every waking moment trying to reacquire one. You're not looking to walk anywhere any more than you are looking for community in a game. You don't care to look for it, create it, what have you... you days of hoofing it are over.
The question is moot... the dinosaurs have been dead for a long time... they never came back... community won't either.

And yeah, i do NOT play games to chat nor make friends. I have enough of those. And to be frank, i won't be playing MMOs if they are like before .. requiring you to chat and LFG in channels before i can actually play.
So the answer to your question is .. i am playing MMOs because they are changing into better games.

New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens Preseason NFL Pick
- Updated: August 24, 2009
Monday, 8:00 pm Eastern – ESPN
New York quarterback Mark Sanchez gets his first start as the Jets travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens. Sanchez is trying to win the starting quarterback job in his rookie year and is in a battle with Kellen Clemens. Last week Sanchez looked sharp in a 23-20 loss to the Rams.
Baltimore is a 3-point favorite with a total of 33 at Bookmaker.
Some of the attention on Monday will be focused on New York head coach Rex Ryan who is making his return to Baltimore after spending the last 10 years as the Raven's defensive coordinator. Ryan took a few players away from his former team as linebacker Bart Scott and safety Jim Leonhard are now with the Jets. New York will probably be missing cornerback Darrelle Revis, guard Alan Faneca, tackle Damien Woody and defensive tackle Sione Pohua in this game.
The Ravens didn't miss Ryan last week as they shutout the Washington Redskins 23-0. The transition from Ryan to Greg Mattison as defensive coordinator has gone great. "This is not Greg's first time around the block," head coach Jim Harbaugh said. "He's been a defensive coordinator for years, and that's showing up. I think the players feel it. If we don't stop people like we want, [then] that's going to be on us — players, coaches, all of us together. But I think we've done a good job in camp and we have a chance to be a really good defense."
Ryan has said that Monday's game is important. "I want [the Ravens] to know that my guys are playing like Jets and we're to be taken seriously," Ryan said. "The fact that I got passed over for the coaching job there … does that mean anything? Maybe it does."
The Baltimore offense also looked good last week as they had 500 yards against the Redskins. Starting quarterback Joe Flacco was very good last week and should get even more time on Monday. His backup is Troy Smith who was solid last week as well. Smith may get a lot of time on Monday since third string quarterback John Beck is hurt. The team did sign Cleo Lemon and Drew Willy but they may not play. The Ravens will are likely to be without wide receiver Mark Clayton and linebacker Terrell Suggs on Monday.
The Jets and Ravens have met five times in the NFL betting preseason history with the New York holding a 3-2 edge. The teams last met in 2002 and the Jets pulled out a 16-14 win at Baltimore.
Pick: Ravens

Gear Review
Canyonlands - RW
Nice but Not Again
Love the fit, hate the grip. That's the short version.
I bought these (exact same model) back in July of 2006 and they've been begging to be replaced for a couple of years now. The boots I wore extensively before these were the Italian made Vasque Sundowner but when production of the Sundowner moved to China that boot never fit me as well so I moved on.
I was happy to find another GoreTex, full-grain leather boot that fit well in the Asolo Power Matic 200 but within the first few months of use I was missing the grip of the Sundowner and from there the grip of the Asolos slowly went down hill.
I put a lot of miles on my hiking boots and the Power Matic 200s haven't held up as well as the boots they replaced. Just over 5 years, with a few years of me slipping and sliding is not going to let me consider these again. I give them 4 stars rather than 3 because they are very comfortable and a more fair weather hiker on dry trails will have little or nothing to complain about.
I will move onto Zaberlan, Scarpa, etc.

Lace Dress is finally finished!!!
I only took a month, but I'm finally finished! As you can see, in between the second diamond pattern and the scallop pattern, I modified that area to provide extra length by adding several rows of double crochet to insure that it would fall below the knee.

The Devil Wears "Tofu"?
Why are some PETA activist so stupid? I'm pretty sure it's a simpler way to get your point across than assualting someone. On yesterday in Paris, prior to the Chanel Couture show, Vogue editor Anna Wintour was hit in the face with a tofu cream pie by an animal rights activist yelling, "Fur hag!" and made a quick getaway. I tell you what, you hit me in the face with anything especially while I'm wearing a very expensive fur, you BETTER run!

Lace Dress - Part 4
I have officially been crocheting this dress for 2 weeks now and I hope to be finished this coming week. If you have a copy of the pattern, I am on Row 44. I've been blocking and trying on the entire time and it looks as if this dress will hit right at the knee.

Bird lovers across Britain are deeply worried this week as new statistics reveal that since 1966 Britain's bird population has declined by a staggering 44 million.
To put that number in perspective, that's about a fifth of the total population of Britain's birds, or a fall of one nesting pair per minute.
This is according to figures collated by organizations including the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the British Trust for Ornithology. In their report, The State of the UK's Birds, they warn of the sharp decline of bird populations from a once robust 210 million in 1996 to just 166 million today.
What is to blame for this sharp decline?
A lack of seed and grain is one culprit. Another reason the group highlighted is illegal hunting in the Mediterranean where shooting fans gather to take aim at bird flocks during the bird's annual migration.
Other factors may also include prolonged winters — which has had a particular impact on the wren — coupled with a shortage of food as well as a general lack of breeding grounds thanks to urbanization and a failure to properly maintain habitats.
Dr Mark Eaton is quoted in the report as saying, "It is shocking to think that we've lost one in five of the individual birds that we had in the 1960s, especially when you think that the 44 million birds we have lost since 1966 is equivalent to the current adult human population of England and Wales."
Some of the sharpest declines in numbers include the tree sparrow, from 666,000 in 1966 to 60,000 in 2012, the turtle dove, with a drop from 200,000 to 14,000, the willow tit from 49,600 to 3,400 and the corn bunting from 110,000 to 11,000.
Not all the news was bad however. Some bird populations have shown some marked growth. The chaffinch, for instance, has increased at a rate of 150 a day. The buzzard has also seen a sharp increase from 16,000 in 1966 to 70,000, while the great spotted woodpecker is up from 38,000 to 140,000, the collared dove up from 298,000 to 990,000, the nuthatch from 95,000 to 220,000 and the blackcap up from 541,000 to 1,200,000.
The State of the UK's Birds report relies on massive public participation in order to source data, calling on avid bird watchers from up and down the UK to monitor bird numbers in their local environments. Scientists then use this data to build a rough overview of Britain's bird population.
Dr Andy Musgrove, of the BTO, has said he wants to see an increase in participation in order to further clarify Britain's shifting bird numbers: "Amongst individual species, whilst there have been some winners, the number of losers is greater and the long-term picture is sobering. There is still more to learn, though, and we need the continuing support of ever greater numbers of volunteer birdwatchers, on whose efforts all of these numbers are based."
There is also a red flag that comes along with this report.
Conservationists are warning that EU cuts could have a further deleterious impact on the bird population. Conservation-linked farmland in the UK is, much of it, propped up by £243m a year from the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. However, EU leaders have floated cutting up to 20 percent from the rural development budget.
This, conservationists say, could be disastrous for Britain's birds.

Natasha is right
very sad
Horrible. But how does one come up with such an accurate number?? Just way too many humans on this planet and with that comes all the destruction...just don't blame the cats!!
One has to wonder if these populations by breed aren't cyclical based on aspects we don't yet understand, but still negatively impacted by human beings.
The truth is over population of the humans. They destroy the forestry, cutting down the trees clearing out every part of the country to accomodate building houses & the commercial buildings etc. People are the ones who invade these animals home lands. So why surprise to learn that the animals are simply vanishing due to the greedy hmans invasion.
I participated in localing bird counting. As noted in the article, some bird species population went up while others went down.My thoughts: You win some, you lose some.
sad news but thanks for sharing
Not so fast...
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) thinks maybe it's cats.
Overpopulation.......the root of all evil ! And a global economy based on consumerism doesn't help. Companies make you buy and buy, no matter if you don't need it. They just keep tempting you. And they don't make things last like they use to. Everytime I walk into a big store and saw all those items for sale being displayed there, I will tell myself : "A couple of years from now, all these are going to some dumpsite to pollute the planet!" We need to change our mindset or we're doomed!
Oh no. Sad to hear about.

|A myopic steep slab line par excellence between Endurance and Lakeland Cragsman.The moves are superb and it would be three stars if the line was independent. From the first overlap climb between the other two routes without using the crack of Endurance. Above the third overlap it is virtually impossible to not use the cracks of the two HVS's.

Timbers Notebook: 2010 to offer similar, but different feel
January 7, 2010
On the field, the Timbers' 2010 season will feel the same, and in some ways look the same, as in seasons past. The Timbers will play in a league with familiar foes, such as Puerto Rico, Montreal, Rochester and rival Vancouver, but the new year sees changes made to U.S. Soccer's Division 2.
On Thursday, the U.S. Soccer Federation, United Soccer Leagues (USL) and the North American Soccer League (NASL) came to an agreement on the formation and operation of a Division 2 professional soccer league for 2010, which is where the Timbers will play for the upcoming campaign. However, fans will be familiar with most of the teams and opposing players this season, as the Timbers have competed in U.S. Soccer's Division 2, which sits one tier below Major League Soccer, since returning in 2001.
Thursday's agreement brings some changes to Division 2 - primarily to the league's structure. U.S. Soccer will oversee the revised Division 2 league in 2010, and the league will consist of two six-team conferences – the USL Conference and the NASL Conference. Overall, Division 2 sees an increase to 12 clubs for the 2010 season.
The USL Conference will include teams from Austin, Minnesota, Portland, Puerto Rico, Rochester and Tampa Bay. The NASL Conference will consist of teams from Baltimore, Carolina, Miami, Montreal, St. Louis and Vancouver.
New teams in the fold for 2010: Tampa Bay, who was announced early last season as a 2010 expansion club; Baltimore, who played in the USL Second Division in 2009; and a new St. Louis club.
U.S. Soccer will announce soon details of the new league, including league rules, a match schedule, television rights and other important operational matters.

Parallels, the hosting and cloud services enablement leader, today announced that small and medium business (SMB) adoption of cloud services from its partners using Parallels Automation and the Application Packaging Standard (APS) grew by more than 80 percent in 2012. This growth was fueled by SMBs who are now using an average of four cloud applications each, along with more than 50 percent of the top 30 global telecommunications providers now using the Parallels cloud service delivery platform. This is in addition to the 9,000 service providers and more than 50,000 web designers and developers also using the company's software to serve millions of SMBs.
To continue enabling service providers to grow and increase their share of the SMB cloud market, which is expected to mushroom to $95B by 20151, Parallels is unveiling number of new products including a major update to the Application Packaging Standard. APS 2.0 now includes a pluggable single sign-on, service bus architecture, and customizable user interface enabling service providers to seamlessly offer differentiated bundles of cloud services with an easy purchase and activation experience. APS 2.0 will be integrated in Parallels Automation 5.5, which is expected to ship later this year, and will include more than 30 back-office improvements and new services such as support for Microsoft Lync 2013 Hosting Pack.
To help service providers manage their SMB customers' accelerating storage needs, Parallels announced Parallels Cloud Server and Parallels Cloud Storage. Parallels Cloud Storage turns existing unused disk space in servers into scalable, high-availability and high-performance distributed storage. It is now available as part of Parallels Cloud Server, which brings Parallels Virtuozzo Containers together with the company's world-class hypervisor technology into a single product.
In addition to these product announcements, Parallels also released usage data for its products. First, Parallels Plesk Panel 11 is the fastest adopted version in the company's history. Second, more than 100 Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) have joined the APS ecosystem with new services in 2012. Finally, the Parallels service provider ecosystem has grown by more than 450 new partners over the past year. These updates combined with the new product announcements continue to make Parallels the catalyst for service providers to accelerate cloud adoption by SMBs.
"Parallels mission is to help service providers profit from the cloud. 2012 has been a breakthrough year for us in this regard," said Birger Steen, CEO of Parallels. "We have assisted service providers on all continents in crafting and executing cloud strategies, and we have enabled hundreds of new, useful cloud services for SMBs. We have continued extending our cloud service delivery platform: Parallels Cloud Storage dramatically reduces the cost of providing highly available storage. Parallels Automation 5.5 with APS 2.0 lets service providers deliver a seamless experience for SMBs buying multiple cloud services, with a library of more than 400 apps to choose from. We are more optimistic about our partners' success, as well as our own, than ever before."
"In working with hosters and service providers since the industry emerged in the late '90s, we have seen the acceleration of demand to create, deliver and manage bundled services for SMBs," said Serguei Beloussov, Chairman and Chief Architect of Parallels. "APS 2.0 is the game-changing technology that will make this happen across all Parallels products."
"SMBs are adopting cloud services at an accelerating rate, and they also have more choice than ever before in where to buy their cloud services," said Philbert Shih, Managing Director of Structure Research. "If service providers expect to stay relevant, they need to have access to actionable market research and analysis, the right enabling technologies, and a powerful partner ecosystem so they stay ahead of the competition. Parallels brings all of these requirements together in an integrated fashion specifically designed to help service providers succeed."
These announcements are being made in Las Vegas this week at Parallels Summit 2013. The event addresses all aspects of the company's service provider enablement solutions and business: Parallels service delivery software, expansion of the widest cloud services catalog, the broadest partner ecosystem, proprietary industry research and analysis, and a suite of go-to-market consulting and implementation services.
"During our evaluation process, it quickly became clear that Parallels was the only vendor that could offer us a proven off-the-shelf product and deploy it within a few months. In addition to the Parallels Automation platform, Parallels was able to provide us with the business consulting services we needed to configure it optimally for our offering and advise us on how to take it to market effectively in multiple countries. The fact that Parallels also has a very strong ecosystem of third-party partners, with applications that we can quickly and easily add to the platform over time, was also a key factor in our decision," said Rolf Magne Aasen, CTO at Telenor Business Internet Services." Throughout the entire process, Parallels has gone the extra mile to fulfill our requirements, and the team's 'can do attitude' enables rapid time to market across multiple geographies. We simply could not have met our demanding launch schedule without them, as well as develop such a complete offering for our next wave."
Next Generation of Cloud Service Delivery Software from Parallels
Parallels also announced new automation, virtualization and cloud storage products in addition to comprehensive enhancements to Parallels control panel products at Parallels Summit.
With Parallels software, service providers can manage infrastructure, automate provisioning and accurately bill for the widest range of cloud services for SMBs, while offering best-in-class control panels for self-service for the not only the provider but also for their resellers, IT administrators and end users. With a complete stack of cloud enablement software, Parallels can help service providers of any size offer SMBs the cloud services they need, ranging from shared hosting to hosted communications and collaboration to infrastructure-as-a-service to software-as-a-service. Products highlighted at the Summit included:
- Announcing APS 2.0: Parallels has significantly enhanced APS 2.0 to provide a secure, integrated and differentiated experience across all cloud services with service bus architecture, multi-factor authentication single sign-on, RESTful APIs, and HTML 5-based dynamic user interface.
"APS 2.0 takes the ability to integrate cloud services and create a seamless, unified experience for SMBs to the next level. It goes beyond software installation and defines a bus allowing independent cloud applications to interact," said Ruslan Fazlyev, CEO of Ecwid. "We are pleased to be in the early adopter program for APS 2.0."
- Announcing Parallels Automation 5.5: Parallels Automation 5.5 is expected to ship later this year and will have APS 2.0 built in and fully integrated. Navigation across billing and provisioning has been streamlined for an easy purchase and activation experience. The set of RESTful APIs has been expanded. New and updated core services include Linux and Windows Hosting, Microsoft Exchange 2013, Microsoft Lync 2013 and Cloud Infrastructure. This makes Parallels Automation the platform of choice for service providers and developers to innovate and differentiate.
"Parallels Automation combined with the APS standard, managed by KPN Software Online, form the underlying core technologies of KPN's Cloud Store," said KPN Omar Benameur." By eliminating the complexity of order delivery and payment processing, various KPN Business Units including KPN Wholesale, E-Plus and Base are able to aggressively recruit both service providers and ISVs to build out their own customized and diverse cloud marketplaces."
- Announcing Parallels Cloud Storage: Parallels Cloud Storage drastically reduces the cost of high-availability storage. Offered as a seamless upgrade for existing Parallels Virtuozzo Containers and Parallels Server customers, it will support third party virtualization technologies in 2013. Parallels Cloud Storage uses the existing unused disk space on server nodes to create a self-healing centralized storage pool for distributed, high-performance cloud storage.
"Parallels Cloud Server changes the game for VPS and cloud hosting," said David Collins, CTO of HostGator. "The way Parallels Cloud Storage utilizes unused disk space on the servers is the missing piece of the puzzle."
- Announcing Parallels Cloud Server: Parallels Cloud Server now makes it easy to offer all cloud infrastructure services customers want. It includes Parallels Virtuozzo Containers together with our world-class hypervisor technology and Parallels Cloud Storage, combing all of the pieces to enable best-in-class infrastructure services.
"We've been a global partner since 2005, offering a variety of virtualization solutions from Parallels in order to provide our customers with greater scalability," said Nathan Day, Chief Scientist for SoftLayer Technologies. "By extending our portfolio to include Parallels Cloud Server, we're enabling our customers to obtain high availability servers while reducing maintenance costs."
- Announcing Parallels Plesk Automation: Parallels Plesk Automation is a scalable, multi-server cloud automation solution enabling a seamless growth path for Parallels Plesk Panel customers to scale to thousands of servers and a wide range of services. It also provides the ability to centrally manage end customers.
"Never before has there been a company with a product line that can meet every cloud and hosting need from the small single domain on a virtual private server, to a provider that needs centralized management for many diverse servers, to the full customized automation platforms for the largest enterprise customer," said Stephen Evans, Director of Operations, APYL Inc. "With Parallels Plesk Automation, Parallels gives us the ability to grow and excel like never before."
- Parallels Presence Builder: With Parallels Presence Builder, service providers can attract new customers and differentiate their offerings. Parallels Presence Builder has hundreds of industry-specific site designs for SMB businesses along with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. In addition to integration with Parallels Plesk Panel, Parallels Plesk Automation and Parallels Automation, it now supports cPanel and provides full set of APIs to integrate with any in-house system.
"Parallels Presence Builder gives small business owners with no technology background at all the ability to quickly and easily create professional-looking websites," said Kathy Nelson, Chief Decision Maker at Ovaleye. One of Ovaleye's customers is a small business called Bellefleur, and the founder and owner, Jennifer Carroll, added, "With Parallels Presence Builder, you can build something yourself that looks good, feels good and gives your customers a good idea of who you are. You can customize it, brand it and get your point across without a big price tag."
- Parallels Plesk Panel: Parallels Plesk Panel 11 continues its march to being the fastest control panel adopted ever.
"Our partnership with Parallels, in particular with respect to the deployment of Parallels Plesk Panel and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, provides us with an efficient and cost-effective way to introduce new upstream services and grow our revenue opportunities," said Narayanan Ganeshan, Senior Manager, Cloud Operations, CtrlS. "It also allows us to offer our customers a value-added product that helps them to boost their profitability and operational efficiency."

"Working with Parallels APS technology allows us to tap into the large and growing Parallels installed base of service providers. It's very easy for service providers to include Mozy in their offering."
"The combination of Parallels Automation and APS makes of the Hosted365 bundle the ultimate reseller opportunity," said Marco Houwen, CEO at LuxCloud. "No fewer than seven APS packages are used inside the Hosted365 bundle to give customers access to a complete set of applications, e-mail, website and Sharepoint."
