HawaiianMay 11, 20145I am arriving on Hawaiian at 7:00am with a 2hr. layover and departing on Southwest 9:00 with luggage. Is that sufficient time and how do I go from terminals?***Fri, May 9You arrive at Terminal 1's Satellite Concourse D (D gates) and depart from Concourse C (C gates); On arrival you need to take the D gate tram to main Terminal 1 and take the separate C-gate tram to your connecting C gates. You have enough time.frmay14Fri, May 9Check in for your Southwest flight online before you leave Hawaii.ZAPSun, May 11No, if you have checked luggage you will have to transfer it yourself. The baggage claim is in T3. You will then have to take a shuttle bus to T1, then check your bags with Southwest, then go back through security and to your gate in C. You will barely have enough time to do this if your first flight is on-time. You may want to try to get a later flight on Southwest.ZAPSun, May 11
SLC to LAS to the UKMay 6, 20142I am flying into LAS from SLC arriving at Terminal 1. I have 2 hours until my Virgin Atlantic flight to Manchester, UK leaving from Terminal 3. From what I understand I can catch a tram from Concourse D directly to T3 without going through security again. Is this right? ThankstgundyTue, May 6

D gate arrival c gate connectionFeb 16, 20144Can I get from terminal 1 d gates to terminal 1 c gates without passing thru security? Arriving on Delta connecting to Southwest.***Thu, Jan 9At LAS, when getting off at Satellite D, take the D gate tram to Concourse C, arriving at baggage claim level, then switch over to adjacent C gate tram to your connecting C gate.thdec14Thu, Jan 9Yes, you can get between C & D by asking TSA to allow access BEFORE exiting secure area. The American Express Lounge (Called the Centurion Lounge) is in the D area, so I go from C to D (and back) frequently. If all else fails, tell TSA that you want to go to or from that lounge.doc vMon, Jan 27
Alaska AirlinesJan 8, 20141My elderly father is flying back home via American and I'm on a Alaska airlines flight. Can I check in for an Alaska flight in terminal 1 and see him to his gate? If possible, how much time should I leave to get to Terminal 3 within security?CMWed, Jan 8No, you cannot check in for an Alaska flight in Terminal 1. However, if you check in online you could go through security in T1 with your father, then take the tram to him with D (where his American flight will depart), then take the T3 tram to E where your flight will depart. If you cannot check-in online beforehand you will not be able to go through security in T1 or get to T3 within security. You'll have to take a shuttle bus to T3.ZAPWed, Jan 8
Meeting PlaceDec 16, 20132I am flying Southwest into Vegas and my friend is flying united into concourse D. Will he be able to take the tram from D to the baggage area for Terminal 1. Neither one of us will have checked bags.jgreen2699Mon, Dec 16
Gates for SouthwestNov 19, 20131I am arriving at LAS on 11/21 @ 11:25 am, Flight # 1810 and will depart Southwest at 12:00 pm on 11/21, Flight # 499. I would like to know what gate I will arrive at and what gate to I depart from and do I have enough time to get there?kansasluckTue, Nov 19
SWA to HawaiinOct 4, 20132At LAS I know SWA flies into/out of B and C gates. Hawaiin flies into/out of D gates. If I arrive on a SW flight into B/C, can I get to D without re-checking through security? I've only left myself 1 hour (which I think is pretty standard layover time) to get from on flight to the next but I can't tell if I need to do security again after arriving on SWA to get between B/C and D. Thanks!MeFlyBigNfarSun, Sep 29First of all, you will only have a chance to make this connection if you have no checked baggage as Southwest won't transfer your bags to Hawaiian. Secondly you leave yourself no room for error. I believe you can take the train from B/C to D without having to go through security again.ZAPMon, Sep 30Thanks. We are in fact NOT checking bags- we of course knew that there's no way we'd make an hour layover with bags. Ironically I've been to LAS countless times but always as a destination and never once as a layover. So that was the reason for the no-security question as I scoured the mccarran website for a long time and could find nothing about security as it related to inter-gate exchanges. Thanks!meflybigFri, Oct 4

terminal three to terminal oneSep 5, 20131Is there a way to get from terminal three to terminal one without leaving security area.geThu, Sep 5You should be able to take the train from the T3 to the D gates and then the D-gates to T1. However, arriving in T1 on the train may force you into the baggage claim, in which case you would have to go back through security. I don't remember if there's an option once you arrive on the train in T1 to remain in the secure area.ZAPThu, Sep 5

A bona fide starter No. 1. Solid glove man, No. 2. They need another contact hitter as well, someone that consistently puts the ball in play (ala Scott Hatteberg, but faster), No. 3.

Many have suggested Phillips to SS; some have suggested RA to 2B. That may sacrifice some IF range, but it sure would take care of the "extra" RH bat -- Encarnacion -- and become possibly the best NL offense.Originally Posted by Joseph
After Freel at the top of the lineup, almost each any every other guy could be a legitimate #3, #4, or #5 hitter in some team's lineup. For example:
That's gotta be the most potent 6, 7, 8 combo outside the designated hitter league.
Add to that a legit #3 rotation horse and the negative IF range factor starts to evaporate.
My opinion:
RF -FREEL - good range, weak arm
LF - DUNN - was terrible defensively but getting OK
3B - E.E. - bad defensively but trying to improve
CF - GRIFF - terrible in CF, ZERO range
2B - R.A. - terrible range at 2B
1B - HAT - OK defensively
SS - PHILLIPS - gold glove at 2B or SS
C - ROSS - above average defensively
so we would have 2/8 above average , 3/8 ok & 3/8 poor defensively
There is NO WAY I want to see RA at 2B or Griffey in CF in 2007.
Freel's good range & weak arm make him a better option in CF
RA needs to be at 3B or 1B only

Not true
Pitching & defense win championships
I would like to see a 2007 team where everyone can field their position at least average ( with some above average ). Combine that with a team that is solid 1-8 in the batting order and we will really have something.
We already seem to have the toughest two positions filled:
Phillips can play SS & can hit.
Ross can play C & can hit.

Hatt is at least an above avg defender. I think he plays one hell of a 1st base.Originally Posted by Will M

Twenty-five months into George W. Bush's presidency, control of the government is back where he wants it: in Republican hands.
Today marks the first day of the 108th Congressional session and welcomes 52 freshman faces in the House of Representatives and 9 new senators to Washington; the historic midterm shift puts Republicans firmly in control of Congress and gives Bush a second chance to more easily push his domestic agenda.
Deterred momentarily by a Democratic win in Louisiana's Senate runoff race and, more significantly, by last month's controversy surrounding racist remarks uttered by then-Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., most experts now expect Republicans to bound out of the new Congress' gates with a slew of domestic proposals.
Though the tone and priority of such proposals will likely be set by the president's third State of the Union address later this month, several issues are more likely than not to surface in the GOP's Washington.
In 2002, Wall Street tumbled and accounting scandals scarred the summer, but make no mistake, this adminstration understands former President Bill Clinton's 1992 battle cry: "It's the economy, stupid."
On his ranch in Texas last Thursday, Bush insisted, "Now, I recognize there are some uncertainties. But one thing is certain — that the economy of the United States is resilient."
With Congress back in Republican hands, the president is expected to pursue an economic stimulus that aims to speed up 2001's tax cuts in all income brackets. White House aides also say that Bush may support eliminating taxes on stock dividends and a cut in certain business taxes as well as increasing child care tax credits.
Last week, Democrats pounced on the suggestion of a corporate tax cut.
In the Democrats' weekly radio address, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., retorted, "The tax break the president is said to be proposing is the wrong idea at the wrong time to help the wrong people."
But even some Republicans appeared to give the president's initial ideas a lukewarm reception.
In a paper statement, Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, incoming chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee through which any economic proposals must go, said, "I'm open-minded on his proposals. I'm interested in plans that will work quickly, that will do the most good for the most people, and that will pass in a bipartisan way, given the realities of working in a closely divided Senate."
Though Bush has the edge, even in a Republican-dominated Congress, it appears the president will have to sell his plan for economic recovery to members of both parties.
Last week, ABCNEWS reported that NARAL, a leading abortion rights group, plans to launch a multimillion-dollar ad campaign in preparation for what they see as the potential for one of the biggest battles over abortion in 30 years.
In an interview with ABCNEWS' Linda Douglass, Gloria Feldt, President of Planned Parenthood, agreed: "Women's rights to make our own childbearing decisions are at greater risk this year than they have been since the Roe v. Wade decision."
Abortion rights opponents are optimistic. Republicans, under the new leadership of Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., in the Senate and with an expanded number of abortion rights opponents in the House, hope to push for a ban on late-term abortions and for tighter control over abortions for minors.

This application relates to the following U.S. patent applications:
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to methods and systems for routing accesses to online content. For example, embodiments of the present invention relate generally to methods and systems for establishing inbound route control via dynamic Domain Name System (DNS).
2. Background
In the current digital information age, data networks such as the Internet increasingly have been used as means of communication between businesses and consumers. On the Internet, businesses can set up web sites to share and deliver content (e.g., information, data, and other resources) to consumers and other clients or site users. Because content sharing and delivery are mission-critical activities to many businesses, route control for effectively performing such activities on the Internet is essential to the continuity of operations of those businesses.
Currently, there are two approaches to route control for handling how clients reach a desired online content or web site: 1) change the way the IP address is advertised to the Internet using electronic Border Gateway Control (eBGP); and 2) change the IP address the Domain Name System (DNS) resolves to match a previous advertisement. There are drawbacks to both approaches. In the first approach, modifications to eBGP are disruptive to the Internet routing system, take a very long time to converge, and affect every destination on the Internet. Therefore, such a technique cannot be used to address individual performance problems specific to a portion of the Internet.
In the second approach, changing the DNS forces the client or site user to resolve an Internet Protocol (IP) address that will arrive on a predetermined provider. As known in the art, the DNS is the portion of the Internet infrastructure responsible for resolving site names (e.g., internap.com, uspto.gov, etc.) to IP addresses. Thus, the DNS is the primary means of locating content on the internet, wherein users initiate requests for transactions based on the resolved IP addresses. However, performance bottlenecks have emerged over time, limiting the usefulness and efficiency of the Internet infrastructure for sharing and delivering content critical to business continuity. These bottlenecks typically occur at distinct places along the many network routes to a destination (i.e., web site) from a source (i.e., a user), for example. However, if a business is multi-homed, i.e., the business relies on more than one Internet or network service provider (ISP or NSP) to access the Internet, more than one path or route is available to reach the business. Therefore, it is possible to determine and control which of the available inbound paths a client/user will take to the business web site when conducting a transaction to alleviate the bottlenecks, balance provider load, or minimize provider cost. For instance, consider a large content site with two providers A and B. By splitting the local IP address space (or using the multiple-provider IP address space) of the content site and advertising that address space out each provider independently, inbound requests will adhere to those advertisements. Therefore, requests bound for an IP address advertised out a provider A will transit through provider A, and requests bound for an address advertised out a provider B will transit through provider B. Likewise, a request bound for an IP address issued by provider A itself (as opposed to locally-owned address space) will arrive on provider A, and a request bound for an IP address issued by provider B itself (as opposed to locally-owned address space) will arrive on provider B.
Although external routing advertisements for a particular IP address determine how all traffic reaches a designated online content or web site, performance problems on each the inbound path to the online content or web site may prevent requests from ever reaching the site. Further, while factors such as the kind of DNS, DNS load balancing, caching, and content distribution system being used can influence the DNS process, such factors have not been incorporated into route control to address the performance problems on the inbound paths. Consequently, one of the primary shortcomings of route control today is the inability of a business to affect or influence inbound control, i.e., the way its content is accessed by outside users such as consumers and other clients.
Thus, there exists a need for a method and system to use the DNS to influence inbound traffic at a multi-homed enterprise in order to close the gap between existing route control and complete route control and paves the way for a complete business continuity solution.
Accordingly, some exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for controlling the inbound path to an online content or web site or application by dynamically controlling the IP address that is delivered by the DNS in order to select which IP address, i.e., provider, is the best inbound for the user to use to access the site. Thus, inbound access requests from users can arrive at the predetermined provider and combined with outbound route control techniques, "route control" is established in both directions.
Other exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a method and computer program code for selecting a route in a data network to a destination address space, comprising: receiving traffic information traversing the data network; identifying sources that request access to the destination address space from the traffic information; determining the destination address space is accessible through a plurality of network service providers; measuring inbound traffic performance from each of the identified sources to the destination address space through each of the plurality of network service providers; determining an optimal path associated with each of the sources to access the destination address space via one of the network service providers; and directing each of the identified sources to access the destination address space via one of the network service providers in accordance with the optimal path associated with the source.
The above embodiments are mentioned not to limit or define the invention, but to provide examples of embodiments of the invention to aid understanding thereof. The exemplary embodiments and their advantages, and additional aspects and advantages of the invention, will be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the present disclosure.
The embodiments of the present invention are illustrated by way of example in, and not limited to, the following figures:
Before embodiments of the present invention are described, it is useful to review how the Domain Name System (DNS) works in the Internet today.
If the resolver 130 does not have the IP address locally cached, it sends a DNS request to a local name server or DNS server, shown as L-DNS 140. The L-DNS server 140 is configured as a part of every computer's network settings. If the L-DNS server 140 is authoritative for the domain name or has the results from a previous DNS query cached, it will respond to the client directly. However, if the L-DNS server 140 does not know the IP address, it queries the root DNS server 110 to find the IP address of the remote child name server that is authoritative for the domain name. When the root DNS server 110 responds with the IP address of the remote child name server 120, the L-DNS server 140 sends another DNS query to the remote child name server 120, which then responds with the IP address being requested and the L-DNS server 140 caches the result and forwards such result on to the client. The client then uses that IP address when initiating the connection to www.foo.com to access the content, e.g., various applications and other domains as shown in
Every response from a root name server 110 has an associated lifetime, called the time to live (TTL) value. This tells the L-DNS server 140 how long to cache or honor the IP address. If subsequent access requests for the same domain arrive at the L-DNS server 140 and the TTL has not expired, the L-DNS server 140 will respond with the previous IP address value for the requested domain. If the TTL has expired, the L-DNS server 140 will refresh the information by making another request to the root name server 110 as described earlier. Setting the TTL to 0 will force a lookup to happen on every request and prevent any information from being cached. As described later, in the context of inbound DNS based route control of the present invention, setting the TTL to 0 allows any new control decision to take effect immediately.
There are some other common components of a typical DNS configuration not shown in
The DNS is one of the oldest elements of the Internet (dating back to the late 80's) and there have been many extensions and unique uses developed for the protocol. Many large content sites have geographically dispersed data centers that share a common domain name (like cnn.com). Therefore, DNS has been used to dynamically offer up the IP address of the data center that appears to be closest to the client making the request. The DNS is also used to implement a type of server and data center load balancing. When the servers at a particular location are starting to become overwhelmed with requests, new DNS requests resolve to other server locations where the current server load is lower. Caching and content distribution networks are further examples that use and modify the DNS to accomplish a particular function, generally to make the content more accessible to the user. Such applications are known and understood in the art and will not be further described herein. However, it should be noted that all of these applications play a crucial role in today's content deployments, and any solution that implements inbound DNS based route control must not interfere with these existing applications.
Reference is now made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, some examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing a method and system for providing dynamic DNS inbound control.
Thus, the PFA is modified to collect and separate from all other traffic the set of L-DNS servers and IP addresses involved in the resolving of domain names. This is a natural extension of the application based filtering methods supported in the embodiments of the PFA previously disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 09/833,219 and 10/735,589.
Accordingly, from the DNS traffic, the set of all L-DNS servers is obtained and communicated to the DNS controller 530 in the flow director software module 502. The logic of the DNS controller 530 is an extension of the data network controller algorithms described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/286,576, which is also herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The algorithms are extended to include inbound decision logic as well as the outbound logic discussed in the aforementioned application Ser. No. 10/286,576. The DNS control module 530 is responsible for taking information about the set of all observed L-DNS servers from the DNS collector 540 and making the best inbound selection for each of the observed L-DNS servers. Thus, the necessary inbound performance from these servers is measured. Since the nature of the DNS communication itself prohibits these measurements from being made passively (they are UDP and therefore connectionless), they must be collected using other means such as active or passive by association (described later). The module responsible for active measurement is the Recon module 520, also known as active calibrator, which is modified to enable inbound measurements. Inbound measurements can be collected using an IP address that is advertised out each of the providers and sending active measurements probes, i.e., inbound Recon probes, using those source IP addresses out the default path. The returning measurements will differ only in the performance that was experienced on the return path, and from these measurements a relative assessment of the available inbound paths can be made. This assessment, as well as the marshalling of requests themselves, is performed by the DNS controller 530, which then associates a particular inbound with each observed DNS server. These relationships are then communicated to the dynamic DNS component 510 for use in resolving future DNS queries, i.e., in honoring new DNS requests seen at the dynamic DNS server or forwarder 510.
The FCP architecture 500 assumes the simple assumptive association between clients and L-DNS servers. That is, the assumption that inbound performance optimization from the L-DNS server corresponds to an inbound performance optimization from the clients themselves. Using the simple assumptive association allows inbound control decisions based solely on the active measurements to the L-DNS servers.
According to the present invention, the FCP architecture can be implemented by a computer-readable storage medium and computer-readable transmission medium executing computer instructions. Embodiments of computer-readable storage medium and computer-readable transmission medium include, but are not limited to, an electronic, optical, magnetic, or other storage or transmission device capable of providing computer-readable instructions to a processor. Other examples of suitable computer-readable storage medium include, but are not limited to, a floppy disk, CD-ROM, DVD, magnetic disk, memory chip, ROM, RAM, an ASIC, a configured processor, all optical media, all magnetic tape or other magnetic media, or any other medium from which a processor can read instructions. Also, various other forms of computer-readable transmission media may transmit or carry instructions to a computer, including a router, switch, private or public network, or other transmission device or channel, both wired and wireless. The instructions and software modules described herein may comprise code from any-computer-programming language, including, for example, C, C++, C#.
Inbound decisions can be made for performance or cost reasons as in the data network controller in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/286,756. One embodiment of the extended controller 530 is shown in
In the above discussion, the Association Table plays a crucial role in determining how many and specifically which L-DNS should be moved to alleviate the usage threshold violations. Associations help bind each L-DNS with a set of client IP addresses or prefixes. These are useful for ongoing performance measurements (both active and passive) as well as understanding the relevant client volume that is associated with a particular L-DNS. With this information, the system can know, a priori how much traffic will move when changing the inbound path for a particular L-DNS. Additionally, this association helps the controller effectively measure the performance of the path from the clients as well as from the L-DNS as the client prefix itself is measured instead of the L-DNS itself. This is more accurate as the client is the destination that should be optimized for the best experience, not the L-DNS server.
The discussion thus far has been for one particular association, the assumptive association. This association simply states that the performance to or from the L-DNS server will be the same as the clients that use the L-DNS server. In some instances, it is not possible to associate the client volume with the assumptive association, and therefore, most cost moves will be blind as to the volume of traffic that will shift with each L-DNS inbound change. Thus, assumptive associations may limit the invention to less sophisticated traffic engineering modes for cost moves as shown in
Thus the need for more definitive client to L-DNS associations exists. Inside the Controller process a data structure is built that contains any and all L-DNS to client prefix associations. Then these prefix can be used to reference other flow information already stored in the prefix table of the Controller process. The prefix table is used to store volume and performance information for all know prefix in the system. Performance information is generally both candidate provider as well as default provider performance to the destination prefix. This table of information is the basis for all of the decisions, cost and performance, made by the controller. The key difference for inbound route control solutions is the need to expand the performance section to include inbound as well as outbound provider metrics. To collect such information the active calibrator, recon, generates active measurements for all provider combinations inbound and outbound. An example of these data structures is found in
For BGP based associations, the routing table is used as the primary association mechanism. When a new L-DNS server is observed, the controller performs a longest match lookup in the routing table and simply associates that prefix with the L-DNS in the association table. This tends to over-associate many more client addresses with the L-DNS than generally use the L-DNS. This is because some of the prefix in the BGP table are quite large and realistically would not be served by a single DNS server. To help refine these associations over time, the decision shown in
Another association is one that experimentally associates real client traffic with the L-DNS used by the client. The architecture for the controller in this embodiment is shown in
Another embodiment of associations is to use the scan points, discussed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/735,589, U.S. provisional Application No. 60/433,285 entitled "TOPOLOGY-BASED ROUTE CONTROL OVER DATA NETWORKS USING CONVERGENCE" and the U.S. utility patent application that claims priority to such provisional application, as both measurement proxies and associations. In the scan point embodiment, many external elements in the wide area network have identified certain infrastructure points that represent the performance to specific areas (prefix and autonomous systems) of the network. This data is communicated as a scan point feed to the controller and is used predominantly for measurement proxies. However as shown in
In the embodiment shown, a global content site has two data centers, one in Boston and one in London. Both sites have Global DNS load balancers 860 which communicate with each other to determine server load at each data center as well as other parameters. The load balancers are configured with a virtual IP (vip) for each of the applications. In addition, to support inbound route control a redundant vip from (or advertised out) each ISP or service provider 810, 820, and 830 is configured per application. Incoming requests to any of the vips will reach the correct application. In this embodiment, the FCP 840 is installed in the normal manner and communicates to a modified DNS forwarder 850 as shown. The DNS forwarder is authoritative for both data centers, but is configured with the IP address of the DNS load balancer 860 of the local data center, namely, the Boston Data Center in this case. Incoming requests will be forwarded on to the load balancer 860 and the load balancer 860 will respond back to the DNS forwarder 850. If the request is for a local application, the load balancer responds with the vip of the local application servers. If the request is for a global application, the load balancers 860 determine which site (based on load, proximity, etc.) should receive the request and then respond with either the vip configured on the Boston load balancer or the vip configured on the London load balancer.
When these responses are returned to the DNS forwarder 850, the forwarder has the opportunity to perform inbound route control. If the IP address is a local one (for the local application or the local IP address of the global application), the DNS forwarder 850 can substitute any of the vips for that application based on the performance or load of the inbound ISP relative to the user policy. If the IP address is a remote IP address, the forwarder sends the response without modification to the originating L-DNS. This process is illustrated in
According to embodiments of the present invention, the modified DNS forwarder maintains the relationship not only among the L-DNS to inbound, but also among the set of local (and therefore malleable) IP addresses. The lookups on the response first involve matching any local IP address (from all local zones perhaps) and then doing a second lookup based on the originating L-DNS to determine which local inbound to translate it to. The third potential lookup translates the original IP address with the optimal IP address, or simply uses the initial IP address record cross-reference to the optimal zone file. An exemplary architecture for a dynamic DNS forwarder is shown in
Functions not shown in
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a global inbound route control is possible for multiple global sites that are multi-homed, as shown in
Consequently, dynamic DNS for inbound control offers a route control solution to the large enterprise which relies on externally initiated transaction. Inbound performance problems can be detected and resolved for clients externally initiating connections. Additionally, inbound provider load can be balanced or filled according to the least provider cost. These solutions are transparent to existing DNS configurations and enable the business site to enjoy true end-to-end performance and cost or load optimization for these externally initiated transactions.
Although the invention has been described with reference to these embodiments, other embodiments could be made by those in the art to achieve the same or similar results. Variations and modifications of the present invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art based on this disclosure, and the present invention encompasses all such modifications and equivalents.

You never know!
I think it's going to be pretty hard to summarize myself or what I'm looking for because at the end of the day the connection has to be there but... A little about me... I pretty much enjoy my life. I have been sincerely blessed with great family, friends and a good head on my shoulders. I think I am probably the most adventurous of anyone that I currently know lol. I work hard during the week and enjoy doing anything that comes up with my friends and family when I'm off. I try to travel at least twice a year and I am a big fan of day trips and sporting events. Summer is by far the best time of year because there is no reason to stay inside. I have a dog that I hang with most of the time when I'm not working because that's my buddy for life. (Beach, trails, park anywhere he's allowed) I've recently taken up boxing and have kind of made it my second job. (Love it!) I would consider my idea of romance to be old school and I want to work towards a relationship with someone. Basically, I'm not going to give it up right away. (If that's what your looking for keep moving). Ideally I would like a man or a relationship where we compliment each other. I like blue collar workers and I like financial professionals I think both have great things to offer. I don't like baby mama drama and guessing games. (keep moving) lol. Personality is key. Just an all around good person that makes me laugh and is trustworthy will go a long way!

Help choosing HD
So my HD that I use for my Steam Games with symbolic link is slowly dying I believe with recent games having issue installing to it. Its a Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm drive with 750GB of Storage. Would it be beneficial at all to go with a WD Raptor or should I just get a 1TB 7200rpm drive?
Would go SSD but I need a large capacity drive for my Steam Install.
Re: Help choosing HD
Re: Help choosing HD
would an OCZ Synapse help? Nvelo only releasing the software to oem's and vendors is bollocks.
Re: Help choosing HD
I wanted a caviar black 1tb but couldn't find one for less than $140. That's bs so I went with a slightly faster seagate with the same 64mb cache for $80 ar. Couldn't justify the price
Re: Help choosing HD
1 TB WD Black's are comparable to the Raptors in many benchmarks. When you look at game related benches you only see the Raptor ahead with load times by a second or two at most, and that's with a 30 second load versus 32. Not even noticeable.
You could always go the bat-****-crazy route and buy two Enterprise level drives at 15k RPM, a bitchin controller, and RAID 1 the drives.
Or just buy the SSDs.
I'd recommend going with any 1 TB drive that you like. I'm partial to Samsung and WD.
Re: Help choosing HD
Caviar Black is the route im gonna go.
Re: Help choosing HD
Those aren't that bad of drives. Think I got a 1TB in my media streamer.
Re: Help choosing HD
I bought a 1TB WD Green drive couple years ago on a black friday sale back when $80 for a 1TB was unheard of. :lol:
It gets *very* light usage, but it is still going to this day.
Re: Help choosing HD
I use my 640gb WD Black for my steam games. Very quiet compared to my raptor and there isnt that much difference in speed. Put two of them in RAID 1 and your laughing. :)

Director Nichols adds AFI honor to long prize roll
CULVER CITY, Calif. Julia Roberts hurled a four-letter word at Mike Nichols to get things rolling for the American Film Institute's life-achievement honor for the director.
"Mike is one of the few people in the world who's an `egot,'" Roberts, the star of Nichols' films "Closer" and "Charlie Wilson's War," said Thursday night to open the star-studded tribute. "It means he's won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony."
Roberts actually was shortchanging Nichols. Along with his best-director Academy Award for "The Graduate" and his Grammy for a comedy album with former partner Elaine May, Nichols is a multiple winner for the top honors on television and the stage - four Emmys, eight Tonys.
"What doesn't Mike do?" Roberts told the audience, filled with such Nichols collaborators as Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Warren Beatty, Emma Thompson, Harrison Ford, Shirley MacLaine and Natalie Portman. "Everything about Mike makes everything about everything just better."
The dinner honoring the 78-year-old Nichols, held in a Sony Pictures soundstage where part of "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed, featured clips from his movies and TV programs, a highlight from his and May's 1960s comedy act, musical numbers and speeches overflowing with hilarious anecdotes and bottomless affection from his collaborators.
"I remember on `Silkwood' once, you said to me, `You know, directing is like making love,'" Streep told Nichols. "And I said, 'Eww, I don't even know him that well. Why is he telling me this?'
"'Because,' you went on, 'you never know if you're doing it right or as well as the other guy,'" recalled Streep, who besides "Silkwood" also starred in Nichols' "Postcards from the Edge," "Heartburn" and his Emmy-winning miniseries "Angels in America." "I just found that insecurity so completely disarming, and, well, you know, I started to fall in love with you over and over and over again."
Introduced by Streep at the end of the evening, Nichols gushed thanks for his costume designers, cinematographers, script supervisors, makeup artists, composers and other associates.
"If I thanked everyone who contributed importantly over the years, we would be here until Miley Cyrus' AFI award," Nichols said. "All of you made me feel I got away with it. I love the process of making a movie, and doing it with all of you was - despite the fear, the pressure, the budget - happiness."
The tribute to Nichols airs June 26 on TV Land.
"Heartburn" co-star Jack Nicholson, whose films with Nichols include "Carnal Knowledge," "The Fortune" and "Wolf," had the audience in stitches with his cryptic but loving remarks about the filmmaker.
"I have to say, remember, Mike, even oysters have enemies," Nicholson enigmatically told Nichols.
Dustin Hoffman recalled how he felt he was too small and Jewish to play the tall, athletic, WASP-ish lead in "The Graduate," and that Nichols told him, "well, maybe he's Jewish inside."

My experience includes more than 30 years of the martial arts, and being 1st generation to SGM Jordan SF(A) Ret. combatives doctrine.
Subsequently as a contractor showing extraordinary resourcefulness and innovation capable of sustaining operations with little or no outside support to be counted upon, tasks assigned are carried out with economy, alacrity and discretion as an enthusiastic leader that motivates others through the force of personality and amenable demeanor.
I have been recruited by various organizations to include the Department of the Army, SF(A) Division Doctrine and Training, as acting Combatives Primary Instructor to SOF Organizations.

Michael L Mac Donald PS Yes, Sensei Dye did tell me the bird was okay. I still don't care you should never unnecessarily endanger a poor animal for your misadventures. No you didn't kick an apple, you kicked his face, and if my recollection of you're idiotic antics are a little skewed for an incident that happened over 10 years ago so be it but at least you admit they happened.

From the article you posted:
Garland put in an unremarkable two-year stint in the Army from 1993-1995 in Fort Riley, Kan., and was honorably discharged as a specialist.
Style: Shotokan--
Dane Ilario: Thank you for illustrating how easy it is to cut stationary, non-responsive targets.
The reply?
Paradigm SRP: Dane, I am sure you know the rational behind tameshigiri. It is shown in the video to illustrate the cutting ability. It is just as applicable as shooting holes in non-responsive paper targets to demonstrate skill level. Lastly, such cutting is not easy, especially with such a short blade, and done from the draw.
Still not impressed, Mr. Garland.

Are you a fan of Whale Trail? Would you like your kids to play it too, sans in-app purchases and advanced mechanics? Then you and your kids will definitely enjoy Whale Trail Junior.
Whale Trail Junior is a more child-friendly version of the popular endless flyer, which my colleague Christine described as "delightfully colorful and addictive" in her review last year.
Released just a few hours ago in the App Store, Whale Trail Junior is aimed at little players between ages 3 and 6.
As mentioned, unlike Whale Trail, Whale Trail Junior neither offers in-app purchases nor challenges players with advanced mechanics.
Of course, the Tiny Wings-like one-touch control scheme is retained in Whale Trail Junior. Touching the screen anywhere still makes the main game character, Willow, fly in the rainbow-colored sky. But a virtual button is also provided to serve as a persistent visual cue for kids.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
The premise of the game is simple. Players just need to collect the five stars in every zone to activate frenzy mode, in which they're free to bust the unfriendly Thunder Bros.
They don't even need to collect "blubbles" to keep Willow's trail going. Also, they don't even need to keep Willow flying. Willow just coasts along the bottom of the screen and doesn't fall to his death (gasp!) when his flight is not maintained. Which is just as well for the little ones, right?
As they play, kids gets to unlock the game's nine zones and 12 characters and costumes.
The zones are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Party, and Storm. And the characters and costumes are: Willow, Wagner, Stripey, Emmy, Sailor, Wendy, Yeti, Knight, Ninja, Robot, Space, and Chief.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, Whale Trail is available now in the App Store for free. The original Whale Trail is, of course, still available, also for free.

33 year old woman | Brooklyn, NY, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 50 miles
My smile? Bright. My legs. Long. My heart? Open. Dance with me.
The world is made by those who control their own destiny. It isn't made by those who don't do, it's made by those who do do. Which is what made me the man I am. I do do." This pretty much sums me up. If you can appreciate the fact that saying "I do do," while making a valid point makes me giggle, and the fact that I do giggle, you win... bonus points if you know the show and actor that said it! I'm Southern born and bred, but have been in New York now for 13 years (minus national tours of Broadway shows and a stint in Portugal), and look for excuses to leave all the time. No matter how long I'm here, I don't think I will ever get used to the cold. I've filled my life with things and people that make me happy, and love constantly adding to the list - interior design, dancing, and wine tasting at the top of it right now. I travel a lot for work, and make a point of getting lost everywhere I go (it's not so hard, I'm terrible with directions). Trying new things is always satisfying, no matter the result. I'm looking for someone to make me laugh, who's caring, selfless, and creative. You should challenge me to step out of my comfort zone, and be open to the same. So, would you like to dance?
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Soccer, Swimming, VolleyBall, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish, Horses
I'm still looking for my favorite NYC hotspot, but some of my favorites from my travels include Riga, Latvia; Paris, France; Venice, Italy; Lisbon, Portugal; and Warsaw, Poland.
Fordham University, New York, NY
These days it's going to the beach alone and leaving with new friends, a linen scarf sent by my mother in a surprise care package, care packages, discounts, peonies, speakeaasies, vintage stores, interior design magazines, and rose jam from Bulgaria.
I'm a dance junkie! Take me to a place where the dj knows how to stir a soul, and I will never sit down. Indie films, traveling, bringing down the house at a karaoke spot, beating you in air hockey, and learning new things also make me smile.
Right now I'm reading The Known World by Edward P. Jones. Before that I read Home by Toni Morrison, and The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray by Walter Mosley.

The high levels of adiponectin, however, made the mice physiologically skinny, Dr. Scherer said.
The continual firing of adiponectin generated a starvation signal from fat that says it is ready to store more energy, he said. The mice became what may be the worlds fattest mice, but they have normal fasting glucose levels and glucose tolerance.
This indicates that the inability to appropriately expand fat mass in times of overeating may be an underlying cause of insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
This discovery also suggests that in people who have low adiponectin levels fat cells dont send the signal that theyre ready to accept fat, Dr. Scherer said. Instead, the fat is stored in dangerous places liver, heart and muscle tissues where it can cause inflammation and pave the way for disease.
More than 66 percent of American adults are overweight or obese, so most people have excess caloric intake. We need to find ways to deposit these calories in the least harmful places, because the fat has to go somewhere, he said. For instance, people with excess weight around their abdomen run a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes than those who have excess weight in the thighs.
Dr. Scherers next goal is to investigate how to manipulate individual areas of fat to find ways to maximize the good fat areas and shrink the bad areas. Researchers also could try to develop new disease treatments that dont require shedding fat.
Until then, exercise and reduction of food intake are the best ways to stay healthy, Dr. Scherer said.

34 year old man | Martinez, CA, USA | Seeking women 18-30 within 75 miles
I spent a lot of time trying to think of what to put here. This is what I ended up with. Figures.
I'm not really 5'9''. I'm actually 5'8.5', but I round up. So don't get all excited. I'm a teacher - have been for about 6 years or so. It has dominated my life for a while but right now I just look at it as a job - a good one, but still just my job. I enjoy watching TV shows, especially reruns of The Office and Friends. I enjoy going out to eat, gaming, playing sports, exercising, reading the occasional book, browsing the internet, etc. I'm looking for someone pretty down to earth. I'm not really a social butterfly myself so I tend to gravitate towards women who are a little more reserved, someone to just spend time with and lose ourselves in each other's company.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Middle of the Road

California State University, East Bay, Hayward, CA
Music: rock/alternative and soundtrack compositions. Movies: The Goonies is my favorite! TV: Friends, The Office, Arrested Development. Food: I'm a vegetarian. Books: Lots, but particularly Sci-Fi.
I love going to the movies, though it's becoming harder and harder to find ones I really want to see. I like to read, surf the web, watch Hulu, listen to music, and play sports.
I'm reading Timeline by Michael Crichton. Way better than the movie.
