In Takeourword.com, I saw "Go to hell and die" called
"hysteron proteron". I had to look that up.
From Silva Rhetoricae:
hysteron proteron
his'-ter-on pro'-ter-on from Gk. hysteros, "later" and protos, "first"
("the latter put as the former")
praeposteratio, prepostera loquutio
Disorder of time. (What should be first, isn't.) A kind of hyperbaton.
Put on your shoes and socks.
(not in that order, of course)
In the following example, the turning of the rudder logically precedes the flight described, yet is mentioned after:
Th' Antoniad, the Egyptian admiral,
With all their sixty, fly and turn the rudder.
Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra 3.10.2

From Our Editors
Dr. Michael Cook sees a person's health directly correlating with the condition of their nervous system. Following this logic, virtually every illness and ailment can be traced to the spinal cord, which transmits electric signals between the brain and the body's complex system of blinking traffic lights. Though skilled in such far-reaching, drug-free techniques as acupuncture and Gua Sha, Dr. Cook and his team primarily focus on chronic pain in the neck and lower back. Dr. Cook thoroughly examines spines to assuage soreness, hunting for herniated discs with hands and x-rays before nudging them into place with adjustments or taking pressure off with gentle, FDA-cleared lumbar decompression techniques. Dry hydrotherapy beds augment pain relief by massaging muscles from behind a waterproof barrier with a series of warm-water jets, which knead away tension and boost circulation as they rove over the back.

Keri Russell displays her lean physique in see-through lace blouse as she cosies up to co-star Andy Serkis at Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes premiere
Keri Russell worked her black magic as she attended the Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes premiere on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old actress appeared chic whilst showing some skin in a lacy, all-black ensemble at the Williamsburg Cinema in New York City.
Her look certainly seemed to go down well with her co-star Andy Serkis, who couldn't resist having a giggle with her as they posed up for pictures at the event hosted by 20th Century Fox.
Scroll down for video
Sexy style: Keri Russell showed off her toned abs in a see-through black blouse as she attended the Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes premiere in New York City on Tuesday
Getting along famously: Keri looked delighted to see her co-star Andy Serkis, who plays Caesar in the film
Kerri's svelte shape was accentuated in a sleeveless, see-through animal-printed blouse which she layered over a bralette and paired with tapered leather-like trousers.
The Americans actress teamed her pieces with pointed-toe pumps, creating a sleek look.
Adding a playful vibe, the former Felicity star styled her brunette locks in loose curls flowing past her shoulders.
And Keri amped up her bright green eyes with a smoky shadow, as the rest of her face remained neutral.
Hug it out: The pair clearly enjoyed working with each other as they embraced
Eye-catching: Jason looked rather taken aback by Keri's outfit
Good times: Keri and Andy shared a laugh together at the after party
Sleek: The star paired her revealing blouse with leather-like trousers and pumps
Brunette beauty: Keri styled her hair in loose curls while amping up her green eyes and showing off her flawless complexion
Coming soon: Keri can be seen in the sequel starting this weekend
Co-stars: Keri was seen posing with Andy Serkis, who also stars in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
The mother-of-two was seen posing by herself as well as with her co-star Andy Serkis.
Andy, 50, who plays Caesar in the film, kept it casual in a collared black blouse, cuffed jeans, and a black blazer.
He also sported brown tennis shoes.
A star-studded crowd, including directors Darren Aronofsky and Paul Haggis, and actors Bridget Moynahan and Dana Delaney then headed to a party at Sheltering Sky, the rooftop on the McCarren Hotel.
Svelte shape: Though Keri is a mother-of-two, she proved to be in tip-top form
Fun: Keri and Andy appeared giggly as they posed for photos
After party: Keri later attended an after party for the film in New York City
Film stars: Keri and Andy hung out together at the premiere's after party
In the feature, Keri plays a nurse called Ellie, who survived the ALZ-113 virus in the 3D action-sequel, which is already in theatres.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes also features Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Kodi McPhee, and Judy Greer.
Smooch! Brandi Milbradt, left, received a kiss on the head from his partner, director Darren Aronofsky, right
Sleek: Bridget Moynahan donned a plunging black blouse, matching ankle-length trousers and metallic heels
Precious: Bridget cuddled up with Sami Gayle, right, for a photo op on the carpet
Ravishing in red: Sami looked loveling in a flowing, ruffled cherry dress
Though not in the film, Bridget Moynahan was another attendee at the premiere.
The 44-year-old model/actress showed off her lean physique in a plunging black blouse and skinny black trousers.
She spruced up her look with metallic peep-toe pumps and matching hoop earrings.
Summery: Tara Subkoff donned a floral frock that tied around her waist
Monochrome: Dana Delany, left, and Heather Matarazzo, right, opted to wear stylish all-black ensembles

Catherine traditional Catholic mama to wife to an amazing man.
I have to admit, I'm not into it. When I see a toddler with one, I automatically assume it's the parents that want this. Once I saw a parent fixing her toddler's mohawk in the Target bathroom and I really just thought that was ridiculous. I'm sorry if that bothers anyone- I do understand allowing your child to wear their hair as they see fit and picking battles and all that jazz.
I see it as a trend. I don't want my kids to have their identity tied up in how they look at such a young age. So far my kids don't even think about stuff like that and I'm glad. I know as they get older they will reach a point where they do care, but I'm not going to be a catalyst for it.
This is coming from someone that was probably one of the most unique looking kids at my school growing up. At the tender age of 12 (in the late 80's) I dyed my hair all colors, had my ears pierced up and down and wore skeleton stockings to school for fun (I also had stripes, plaid, every color you can imagine). I wanted to be different, and different I was. It wasn't until I was about 15 or 16 that I quit seeing myself as simply what I looked like and man am I glad I got out of that place I was in, which was a very self-focused place to be. I also realized along the way that I am plenty different without having to announce it to the world.
Ok, so maybe I have issues. I'm just not into the little kids with mohawk thing.
Bethany, crunchy Christian mom to Destiny (11) Deanna (9), and Ethan (2)
I see it as a trend. I don't want my kids to have their identity tied up in how they look at such a young age.
I'm okay with that but my kids didn't really have a choice. They're biracial and people are always commenting on their curly hair. I guess we could have buzzed it but then I'm sure it would have been something else. I bet kids with red and/or curly hair get lots of comments too.
My youngest ds doesn't have curly hair but he gets commments anyway because he looks different from the rest of the family.
I have to admit, I'm not into it. When I see a toddler with one, I automatically assume it's the parents that want this.
I see it as a trend. I don't want my kids to have their identity tied up in how they look at such a young age. .
Erika, mama to three beautiful kids (plus one gestating), and wife to one fantastic man.
I have to say, when I see any toddlers hair, worn anyway at all I figure it is because it is what the parents want. Long hair, short hair, mullets, spikes, high and tights, ponytails, buzz cuts, etc.... first hair cuts are usually exactly what the parents want to see or are influenced by what the parent's hair looks like, and I guess I don't really see a problem with it.
I don't think my son with this haircut will be anymore tied up in his looks than if I shaved his head or never gave him a hair cut and let it all grow long. And all haircuts tend to follow trends, right? Think of how big the mullet used to be... gosh, everyboy in my 3rd grade class had one (and some of the girls too!) and yet, it isn't very common anymore. Or back when boys used to shave steps in the sides of their heads or shapes into their hair.... or back when all girls used to wear their hair really, really, really long..... it is all just following current trends and current tastes.
It is just a haircut, ya know? :
I think its cute.. I think most hairstyles on kids are cute.. EXCEPT the mullett!!! Parents should be fined!

I had a mullet in 1989 and it really did not look so great on me

Iron Chef Jose Garces' first Philadelphia restaurant
The Experience
When you walk into Amada, you can't help but feel a certain aura of energy and excitement. The restaurant's design invokes the essence of a traditional Spanish tapas bar while simultaneously exuding a hip and stylish European / Bohemian vibe. And the buzz from happy patrons is highly contagious.
The space is divided into two main areas: the bar area, where you can enjoy a selection from Amada's extensive wine offerings, all of which are available by the glass; and the dining area proper, where conversations at lantern-lit tables seem to be in rhythm with the restaurant's flamenco-influenced electronic soundtrack.
But both areas are perfectly suitable destinations in their own right.
Over the bar hang real, 18-month-cured jamones (Spanish Serrano hams). Barrels of sangria — the blanco variety of which is outstanding — fill open cabinets behind the bar. Small elevated tables, down the length of the bar, are great for casual meetings.
Grab a seat and enjoy a few of the bar's famed Pedro Almodovar-themed cocktails (the 'Bad Education', an orange mojito, is very popular) while snacking on the delicious charcuterie, featuring superb, cut-to-order meats and divine Spanish cheeses, all served with complementary garnishes.
And while Amada, which means "loved one," is an authentic Spanish tapas restaurant, i.e. its extensive menu consists mainly of small dishes, it is nevertheless a highly recommended choice for a complete dinner.
Making Your Way Through the Menu
For starters, don't be intimidated by Amada's large menu. Yes, there are more than 60 tapas to choose from, varying from the traditional — tortilla española, Spanish olives and warm fava bean salad— to the edgy — foie gras flatbreads and artichoke and spinach empanadas — but everything on the menu is outstanding.
The charcuterie is excellent. The European hand slicer behind the bar produces plates of Pamplona-style chorizo, salchichons (pepper-cured sausage), lomo embuchado (dry-cured pork loin) and Serrano ham that will melt in your mouth.
After moving beyond the meats and cheeses, you'll encounter even more succulent options: paprika- and garlic-dusted Spanish octopus, grilled and skewered diver scallops, crab-stuffed piquillo peppers, a signature green plantain empanada (mentioned above) and roasted pork with white beans — to name but a few.
Several tapas come in two sizes to accommodate sharing and there are also a few large dishes, including paellas and a whole roasted suckling pig, that are meant for four or more.
So bring your appetite, savor every bite and, by the time you leave, you will already be planning your next visit to Amada.
Tapas For Lunch
The Catalan Express, offered for lunch Monday through Friday, includes a bowl of soup, a non-alcoholic beverage and a salad or sandwich. At just $14.50, it's one of the most cost-effective ways to sample Chef Garces' culinary genius.

Loewe AirSpeaker
Powerful yet detailed sonic performance, incredibly simple to use for the most part, beautiful customisable design and classy, solid build quality
Extremely high price, clumsy Wi-Fi setup, limited connectivity means it's not geared towards non-Apple fans
It's no exaggeration to say that Apple's AirPlay technology has revolutionised wireless audio streaming, at least for anyone who uses an iOS device or iTunes on their computer. Where you would once have had to mess about with networking settings or rely on notoriously unreliable Bluetooth for cable-free music, AirPlay has standardised and simplified things - and the range of compatible devices is quickly increasing.
The latest AirPlay-equipped hi-fi to land on our doorstep is the Loewe AirSpeaker. The German manufacturer is a byword for high-end design and wallet-emptying price tags, and the AirSpeaker ticks both these boxes: it costs an eye-watering £649 (£150 more than the B&W Zeppelin Air), but its clean minimalist styling is undeniably alluring.
Have it your way
The AirSpeaker is available in black or silver finishes, but in typical Loewe fashion you can order the top panel in almost any conceivable colour: for a fee of €70, the company will match it to any shade in the RAL Classic spectrum.
At the back are only three connections: Ethernet, USB and a 3.5mm stereo jack. The USB is for physically connecting iPods, iPads and iPhones, and charges their batteries while playing music, while the 3.5mm jack is an auxiliary input for any other stereo device.
The Ethernet lets you hook up the AirSpeaker directly to your router. This is Loewe's recommended method for AirPlay, and the simplest way to set everything up - you literally need only to connect it and it'll show up as a speaker when you hit the AirPlay button in iTunes or on your iOS device. You don't even need to switch it on, as it'll jump out of standby automatically when selected.
Look, no wires
The AirSpeaker also has its own Wi-Fi connection for fully wireless setup, but this is more complicated. Because there's no remote control or display for the device, you have to connect it to your home Wi-Fi network by physically hooking it up to a computer with an Ethernet cable - supplied in the box, happily - opening your web browser, entering an address and then fiddling with the AirSpeaker's wireless networking settings. Okay, so it's hardly hacking into GCHQ, and it probably needs to be done only once, but it's a bit of a faff.
Despite Loewe's recommendation to opt for wired networking, we didn't experience any issues with the full Wi-Fi option - no drops in quality and no drops in the signal.
The aluminium speaker measures up at a surprisingly compact 129 x 240 x 240mm but feels heavy and sturdy. That's partly because of the classy build quality, and partly because it's stuffed with a formidable array of speakers (two subwoofers, two tweeters and two midrange drivers).
Sound quality
These give the AirSpeaker a beefy sonic output that belies its small size. With 80 watts of power at its disposal, it blasts out bass-heavy material with room-filling gusto but rarely overextends itself into woolly distortion. Everything feels tight and controlled. But its talents aren't limited to brasher material. Stick on something quiet and understated and the AirSpeaker conveys it with great clarity and insight - don't be surprised if you can pick out details in the music that you don't normally notice.
There are only buttons for power, volume and status (ie, switching between sources), and while this control system is beautifully idiot-proof it does mean there's no way to adjust bass and treble levels. We didn't find that a problem, but some users may want to tweak things a bit, as sound varies with placement - we found it best when the AirSpeaker was placed near a wall.
There's no getting around the Loewe AirSpeaker's high price tag: this is a really expensive sound system. However, it ticks pretty much every box on the "what makes a good AirPlay speaker" list: it's compact, well made and looks fantastic; it's simple to use once set up; and on the sound front it performs very capably indeed.
Is it perfect? Well, it's certainly focused almost completely on AirPlay, and therefore an almost completely pointless purchase for people who don't use iTunes or iOS devices. It can be a bit fiddly to set up if you're going totally wireless. And it's pricey. But really that's it.
We're not convinced that the AirSpeaker is £150 "better" than the B&W Zeppelin Air, but it's certainly among the best AirPlay speakers we've come across. If you're a well-heeled iTunes user, it's well worth seeking out.

But it has now become clear that there is more to marrying Daniel than simply becoming his duchess. In addition to being a powerful peer of the realm in Victoria's England, he is a proud member of the Ruttingdon Club, an exclusive group of titled noblemen who enjoy inflicting pain while taking their pleasure. Annabelle is determined to accompany Daniel to meetings of the Club when they are married, but he is unsure whether she can cope with the physical and psychological demands that appearance at club meetings place on females who attend these exotic functions.
Can Annabelle endure the strict training the Club requires? Will she master her fear of bodily exposure in front of strangers? Can she and Daniel build a life together that balances duty to their roles in society with their desire for dark sexual pleasure?
Read Annabelle's Awakening, the second in the Ruttingdon Club series, to find out!

All my books have elements of power exchange, spanking and BDSM but none of my heroines are weak-willed or easily dominated - they make their men work for their love!
I live on the beautiful Welsh coast, and I love walking the cliff tops and visiting some of our wonderful historical ruins. I get my best ideas when I'm in the great outdoors and you can usually find me chasing after the piece of paper I've just scribbled my notes on!
I live in a late Victorian house with wonderfully high ceilings and no central heating - thank goodness for my fabulous fireplace! I'm owned by Alfred The Great, an enormous tom cat with very decided ideas about who gets to sit on the right side of the sofa and how long I am allowed to stay in bed in the morning!

WHO: Canceling the Rio Olympics won't stop Zika
The World Health Organization has rejected a call to move or postpone the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro over concerns about the Zika virus outbreak.
A group of more than 150 health experts signed an open letter calling for the games to be delayed or moved to a different city for fear that that the thousands of tourists traveling to the games will cause the virus to spread more rapidly around the world.Read more »
The Senate wants equal pay for soccer players
Women's soccer scored a win this week — in the U.S. Senate.
Thursday the Senate unanimously passed a resolution supporting equal pay for the women's national soccer team.
"The pay gap between the men and women's soccer team is emblematic of what is happening across our country," Sen. Patty Murray said.
The resolution isn't binding, but it does put even more pressure on professional athletic organizations to increase compensation for women athletes.
The measure is aimed specifically at the U.S. Soccer Federation. A group of players recently filed a complaint accusing the organization of wage discrimination.Read more »
Cavaliers and Raptors meet in Game 6
TORONTO - The Cleveland Cavaliers face off with the Raptors tonight in Toronto for the sixth game of the NBA's Eastern Conference final. In short, if the Cavs win, they will have clinched a spot in the NBA Finals for the second straight year. And the Raptors season will be over unless they win.
The Cavaliers are one win from their second straight NBA Finals. Cleveland romped at home in Game 5 and now returns to Toronto, where the Raptors won Games 3 and 4.
The game starts 8:30 p.m.
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers moved within one win of their second straight NBA Finals on Wednesday night by routing Toronto 116-78 in Game 5, the fourth lopsided game in a series where both teams have struggled mightily on the road.Read more »
Cavs defeat Raptors, clinch spot in NBA Finals
TORONTO - The Cleveland Cavaliers are the Eastern Conference champions.
The Cavs defeated the Toronto Raptors Friday, clinching a spot in the NBA Finals.
The Cavs outscored the Raptors 113 to 87 in Game 5.
At this point, it's unclear whether the Cavs will play the Golden State Warriors or the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder is ahead in that series 3-2.
Game 6 of the Western Conference finals is Saturday at 9 p.m.

Experts urge WHO to consider moving Rio Olympics
LONDON (AP) — Health experts on Friday urged the World Health Organization to consider whether the Rio de Janeiro Olympics should be postponed or moved because of the Zika outbreak.
The 150 experts — including former White House science adviser Dr. Philip Rubin — issued an open letter to the U.N. health agency, calling for the games to be delayed or relocated "in the name of public health."
The letter cited recent scientific evidence that the Zika virus causes severe birth defects, most notably babies born with abnormally small heads. In adults, it can cause neurological problems, including a rare syndrome that can be fatal or result in temporary paralysis. The authors also noted that despite increased efforts to wipe out the mosquitoes that spread Zika, infections in Rio have gone up rather than down.Read more »
Navy's Reynolds, Swain cleared to play in NFL
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Keenan Reynolds will get his chance to play in the NFL this season.
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced Friday that the record-setting Navy quarterback Reynolds and fullback Chris Swain can defer their military service to play in the NFL.
Carter made the announcement during his graduation speech to the academy in Annapolis. As students cheered the news about their graduating classmates, Carter said: "Go get 'em."
Reynolds was drafted in the sixth round by the Baltimore Ravens. He is the NCAA's career leader in touchdowns with 88. He had 31 touchdown passes while leading Navy's triple-option offense. The Ravens plan to use him as a running back, receiver and kick returner.Read more »

Excellent service and product
Website was easily navigated. Received confirmation call after order was placed. Service was prompt and everything that was ordered they way it should have, including all items needing refrigeration/freezing. Thank you.
Fantastic service. Everything was well packed and fresh. We didn't have to waste precious vacation time shopping for groceries or settle for whatever overpriced merchandise the resorts have. We'll be using Garden Grocer again and recommending it to others.

8 Facts About Patient Satisfaction Surveys
Patient satisfaction surveys provide a standardized way of reporting about healthcare experiences. But there can be more than meets the eye when reviewing scores. Here's what you should know
Patient Satisfaction
Patients' feedback on their experience with Dr. Dabbagh
Likelihood to Recommend
- 5 responses
- 2 reviews
More Details
Dr. Dabbagh's Office & Staff
Experience with Dr. Dabbagh
How was your experience with Dr. Dabbagh?
Provide feedback so others can make an informed decision.
Dr. Dabbagh did not treat the underlying problems. I did not get any sense of what was wrong after 2 sleep studies--he didn't give me any clear results. He eventually told me I needed to see a psychiatrist and gave me a business card for Parkway Psychiatric Services.BMH). He also told me I did not qualify for much-needed medications even though I soon found out I had qualified along along. He still did not prescribe my needed meds.
I believe wholeheartedly that this man works miracles. He is hands-down the greatest physician I have ever seen. He is brilliant, kind, has a fantastic bedside manner, yet remains perfectly humble. However much this man is getting paid it is likely not enough. He is a world-class physician in our small town of Maryville. He's an inspiration to be around and an exemplar of what a physician should strive to become.

Former cop fires on deputies in Charlotte standoff
SoVaNow.com / February 13, 2013By Robert Benning
Charlotte Gazette editor
Reprinted with permission
A former Farmville police officer opened fire on Charlotte County deputies and a Virginia State Trooper during a standoff Saturday afternoon on a farm along Old Mill Road near Keysville.
According to a report from the Virginia State Police, the incident began to unfold at approximately 3:30 p.m. Saturday when State Police, the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office and local firefighters responded to a residence along George Washington Highway near Eureka Baptist Church following a report of a residential fire.
Firefighters from Keysville, Charlotte Court House and Drakes Branch found a small blaze inside the basement of the home, but managed to extinguish the fire before it could spread to other areas of the residence. The basement sustained fire damage, and the remainder of the home suffered smoke damage.
Upon investigating the incident, authorities initiated a search for Timothy A. 'T.J.' Long, 34, of Keysville, in an effort to question him concerning the fire. Long allegedly had previously made threats and was believed to be a person of interest concerning the fire.
Long's wife lives in the home where the fire occurred, but no one was home at the time of the incident.
Further investigation led state police officials and members of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office to farmland along Old Mill Road just over the Charlotte County line in Prince Edward County. The farm was located just a short distance from the Abilene crossroads.
Long's truck was spotted there, and as deputies and a trooper approached the vehicle, Long retreated further back onto the farm to a point where the vehicle was nearly out of sight.
At that point, authorities on the scene heard two gunshots, and three law enforcement personnel moved toward a barn on the property for cover when more gunshots were heard.
Bullets reportedly struck several trees near the officers. Luckily, none of the law enforcement officers at the scene were injured in the shooting.
With the shooter out of the line of sight, officers did not return fire.
Long reportedly retreated even further onto the property and a perimeter was established by law enforcement personnel — including Prince Edward County Sheriff's Office deputies responding to the scene — around the property to prevent him from escaping.
The State Police went on to say that at approximately 5:20 p.m., Long surrendered to troopers without incident.
Long was charged with four counts of attempted capital murder of a police officer and four counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
He is currently being held at Piedmont Regional Jail.
The shooting incident remains under investigation.
The investigation into the house fire also is underway by state police at this time. No one was injured in the fire, which has been ruled arson. Charges are pending.

AT&T planning 4G rollout for 2011
Kris Rinne, AT&T's senior vice president of architecture and planning, said the company hopes to have its Long Term Evolution (LTE) fourth-generation network available by 2011. AT&T had previously said it stay with current HSPA technology for as long as possible, but Rinne, speaking at the Mobile World Congress, said the company is currently looking for LTE vendors. It plans LTE trials in 2010, and hopes to have services commercially available by mid-2011. Verizon is already conducting limited trials of LTE technology.

One of the truisms in information technology is that everything old is new again - well, except maybe for punched cards. We went from big corporate data centers to regional/division corporate data centers back to big corporate data centers and now to even bigger cloud data centers. We have gone from dumb terminals were everything was done on the mainframe, to PCs, and now to virtualized desktops - where everything is run on the central servers. And now, we are back to talking about the IT advantages of telecommuting.
Telecommuting is certainly nothing new. But what is changing is how people are telecommuting and the IT processes and procedures that support them. Gone are the days of modem banks and analog days. Gone are the days when IT departments handed out PCs so people could work from home. And gone are the days when connecting remote employees meant connecting them directly into the corporate network.
When most people think of telecommuting, we hark back to the model that JetBlue made famous: the company supplied the personal computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Internet connection (there is no need to go back to the caveman days with terminals and modems or acoustic couplers!). The PC was company property so that the policies, anti-virus, patches, etc., could all be controlled and managed by the corporate IT department. After all, a lot of employees still didn't even own their own computer.
These PCs had the necessary software pre-loaded on them, be it a thick client or a terminal emulator. When the remote staff connected in - their computers were placed onto the corporate network and became part of the companies extended network. When the PCs needed to be updated, patched, or upgraded - the employee had to bring everything back to the in-house IT department.
What changed? Well... EVERYTHING! There were four basic changes made for teleworking - and each of these changes required the IT department to adapt in different ways. As the ability to provide a realistic work environment kept increasing, we have gone from teleworkers to virtual offices.
One of the first big changes was that users no longer wanted to take a company PC home with them. They had their own perfectly good computer, and wanted to be able to connect using their machines. These machines/users wanted to connect to the company over the Internet instead of through dial-up modems. So IT departments started to increase their network connectivity, add Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices, and put in place intrusion detection/prevention appliances. Many a sleepless night was had by the IT administrator waiting for some remote user to spread a worm or Trojan through the entire organization.
The next big change was also Internet related - the death of thick clients. As browser technologies involved we were finally able to produce thick-client like look-and-feel inside a browser window. Most companies ported their internal applications to use browser-based web interfaces. These browser-based applications were exactly what were needed to allow better remote workers.
Ironically the Internet contributed the necessary technology to the next big change in our march to the virtual office: the move from IPSec-based VPN connections to browser-based SSL connections. IPSec, while a good protocol, proved problematic. Many travelers found out that their VPN connections were either blocked, or that the ISP or hotel lacked the technology to allow IPSec to pass through their networks. Just about every company's helpdesk received a call from some executive complaining about being unable to connect, and the helpdesk would have to try to work with the hotel or ISP to resolve the problem (and usual not be able to).
SSL VPNs resolve that issue because they work through the browser - an application that every PC already had loaded and that every user was already familiar with using. No longer would users have to be given CDs of the VPN software along with installation instructions (and the sure to follow helpdesk call). Most SSL VPN systems function as a proxy to allow dynamic access rights to the user. Instead of connecting them to the network (along with every virus, Trojan, and worm and the person's computer), we can now limit them to accessing the company's Intranet server, or to allow only access to specific company web pages.
Now that we have people using their own computers, over their own Internet connection, to securely access browser based applications - we must be done, right? What could be left? What is left is giving the user the necessary tools to have a virtual office instead of a remote connection.
Remote phone are required. The person needs to have a phone at his desk - even if that desk is 1000 miles away (or more). Here again new technology was required. We needed the new modern voice systems that allow Voice over IP (VoIP) so that we could have corporate phones remotely become part of the corporate telephone system. Even here, this is starting to give way to soft phones - software running on somebody's computer that provides that phone interface.
The remote person needs to know if his/her co-worker is available. After all, she can't simply look over the cubicle wall anymore to see if the coworker is there or not - and she can't see/hear if the co-worker is on the phone. But presence software, tied into the phone and using software on the person's computer, can tell the remote person if that co-worker is on the phone, in a meeting, or even at their desk working on their computer. Such presence software is normally built into an instant messaging client. These clients provide an easy way to communicate with somebody. Instant messaging is the new way to ask: Do you have a second?
The final piece of the puzzle to finally become feasible is video conferencing. IT departments no longer have to purchase expensive cameras, video conferencing servers, and large data connections everywhere. Point-to-point ad-hoc video conferences are easily done today with commercial "webcams" sitting on people's monitors and attached to their computers. In fact, most modern laptops have webcams built into them. Video conferencing allows the visual interfacing that is critical in modern communications. If you think that video is not important, remember that 70% of all our communication information comes from visual "clues". Without providing video conferencing, you are removing 70% of the person's comprehension.
Now that we know how to create a modern telecommuter environment, the question becomes whether we should allow telecommuting. Why are companies, both big and small, investing in this technology? Is this a technology that you should to be implementing?
The biggest advantages to having remote workers and virtual offices are in-house facility costs, expansion, and talent acquisition. Companies that have increased their use of remote workers have benefited from reduced building overhead expenses. One company that I frequently visit has been so successful with their remote worker program that they had to close the on-site cafeteria because there simply wasn't enough staff present to make use of it.
JetBlue used remote employees to staff their reservation lines. These were primarily part-time college educated women who only wanted to work 3-4 hours while their kids were in school. Using remote employees allowed JetBlue to staff across the country - thereby moving calls across the country as people's shifts changed. This is something that could not have been done with a traditional on-site call center.
Sometimes the perfect employee that you need to succeed isn't willing to relocate to where your office is. This leaves employers with the choice of either doing without a key resource, or figuring out how to allow that employee to work from home. Remote employees and virtual offices empower an employer to find the employee that will best contribute to the company - even if that person lives in a mountain cabin.
Those people who wonder if I really mean what I say about the advantages of virtual offices should know that it is what I use. I have a company phone that connects directly over the Internet to the company's phone system. I have an SSL VPN connection to gain access to the internal system. I use Cisco's Jabber service to provide presence information and instant messaging capabilities. And I use Cisco's WebEx Telepresence video conferencing service for when I need "face-to-face" time. The most important lesson I have learned about using a virtual office is to treat it like it is your real office - because the day you decide to wear your fuzzy slippers to the office is the day your boss will have a surprise video conference call with you.
