Remote Access Buyer's Guide
Inevitably, just when you're miles from the office, someone needs a piece of information that only you can provide, and it is locked away on your office PC. With a remote access solution, you can easily access your PC and get the data you need, all while sipping a drink with your toes in the sand.
Sound too good to be true? Well, it isn't. A number of different solutions are available to help make this a reality. In this Remote Access Buyer's Guide, I will cover the different types of remote access solutions, their advantages and disadvantages, their ease of use and technical requirements, and also what you can expect as far as usability.
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat--accessing your computer from outside the physical building is not something only Fortune 500 companies are capable of doing. There are many options available, from free and low cost to moderately expensive, that will allow you to access your PC from a remote location. All of them provide you with a way to connect to your desktop computer and have access to your files and data. No more copying files to a USB drive to work on them at home. No more feeling cut off from the office while on vacation. Secure remote access is something that the employees of every business, big or small, should be doing to be more productive.
[ The best free remote access tools for Windows and Mac combine firewall friendliness with easy remote access and an amazing array of handy features. For some of those mentioned here, see InfoWorld's review. ]
All of the techniques described here require a little networking knowledge, mostly for making changes to your router or firewall. Each remote access method requires a TCP port to be opened in your router and directed at your desktop PC or server in order to allow the remote control program to function. Adding a port-forwarding rule to your router or firewall is easy, and a number of online how-to's can help you accomplish your remote access dreams. While an incorrect port-forwarding rule might not mess up the router, it can cause remote access to fail and produce more than a little frustration. If you aren't comfortable making changes to your router, a quick call to a local IT professional is the best course of action.
Free and Low-Cost Remote Access Utilities
The adage, "you get what you pay for" doesn't necessarily hold true when it comes to free or low-cost remote access solutions. Quite a few utilities provide better than adequate performance and capabilities at little or no cost. Microsoft has offered its Remote Desktop Connection tool for years, and a number of other utilities, most notably programs based on VNC (Virtual Network Computing), are available for download and installation on your office PC.
For Remote Desktop Connection, the remote component is built into versions of Windows from XP through Windows 7, and users of Windows versions as far back as 95 can download the client directly from Microsoft to add that functionality to older systems. Unfortunately, only the professional versions of Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 can be remotely controlled; the service isn't available for any other versions.
VNC-based utilities, such as UltraVNC and TightVNC, include both server and client components and can be installed on a wide range of Windows operating systems. And for users of Mac OS 10.5, VNC is built into the operating system.
As mentioned earlier, setup for these types of remote access tools requires changes to your firewall and router to forward specific TCP/IP ports to the computer you want to take over. This means that this type of remote access solution doesn't scale very well beyond a single user. It is possible to use alternate ports to control other computers, but it can quickly become an administrative nightmare.
Security isn't much of an issue with these utilities as long as good password policies are in place, but any time you open up ports in the firewall, you are exposing a device to the Internet. Make sure that, besides having strong passwords in place, each PC set up for remote access has an up-to-date antivirus program installed on it, too.
Commercial Remote Access Tools
In the same category as Remote Desktop and VNC are commercial remote access programs. These tools also have a server/host component and a remote/client program that communicate and provide access to the office PC. Symantec's pcAnywhere is one of the oldest and most popular of the commercial remote access packages. It goes beyond simple remote access and provides additional features such as multimonitor support, better logging to meet compliance requirements, and the ability to connect to multiple operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Another program that has been around for years is Laplink Gold. It provides many of the same features as pcAnywhere and can even connect two PCs via USB cable for file synchronization and transfer.
Commercial packages do have two downsides -- cost and the firewall issues listed above. The cost of a package is a mild trade-off for its additional features and the ability to call technical support should the need arise. And because of the nature of the solution, you still have to open up specific ports on your firewall to allow a connection. These programs also don't scale well because of the port-forwarding issue at the firewall.
You will find, though, that these programs are easy to use. Each one has technology built into it to help improve screen transfers and reduce latency (latency is the delay sometimes noticed when working over the Internet). This makes the remote control experience seem more like you really are sitting at the computer and helps to reduce the irritation that comes when you have to wait for the other system to catch up.
Cloud-Based Remote Access Services
A segment of remote access that is growing in popularity is the hosted remote access solution. A hosted solution is an online service that acts as a gateway between you and your office computer. It requires a small program to be installed on both the host and remote computers. The program on the office PC establishes a connection to the Web-based service, through the firewall. When you want to connect to your PC, you log in to the Web service and pick your PC out of the list presented; the Website brokers the connection.
Popular services that fall into this category are GoToMyPc, LogMeIn Pro, and TeamViewer. Each one of these programs has both a Windows and a Mac version, and all but TeamViewer allow connections from a Web browser.
One great advantage to this type of remote access is it doesn't require changes to your firewall--no open ports forwarded in to your computers. This also means that they scale well and don't have the inherent administrative overhead that VNC, Remote Desktop, and pcAnywhere have. Even though they do use a small program to "call out" to the hosting Website, the installed portion usually has a very small footprint and doesn't consume resources when idle.
The biggest downside to hosted remote access solutions is that most of them are fee-based services. For noncommercial users, TeamViewer and LogMeIn each have free accounts, but for commercial use, such as in a small business, you can expect to pay a small monthly or yearly fee. For many, such fees are a small price to pay (no pun intended) for the advantage of not having to worry about firewall rules and management.
Remote Access Over VPN
With remote access over VPN (a virtual private network), we are starting to get beyond what a typical small business either can afford to deploy or has the technical experience to support. Before I get into the pros and cons of this approach, let me briefly explain what VPN is.
All networked computers and network devices have an Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to them. Each network has a unique IP address range, and because each network is separated by and protected with a firewall appliance, users from one network don't have direct access to another.
To create a VPN, you have to have a VPN-capable firewall on one end and a VPN software client, usually based on IPSec (IP Security protocols) on the remote end to bridge these segregated networks. By establishing a VPN connection from your laptop on the beach to your office network in St Louis, it makes your laptop look like it is part of the office network and not really a thousand miles away. Think of it as stretching your network cable from the office to the beach--it looks as if you are still physically connected to the network, but you are doing it over the Internet.
The VPN connection eliminates the port-forwarding issues we've covered in the free and commercial remote access packages section. Now you can connect to any networked PC from your remote location because the VPN makes your laptop part of the network. This means you can take over any computer on the network instead of being limited to one or two. You can also access printers and other network resources, too.
Any remote control program will work over an IPSec VPN connection. Remote Desktop, VNC, pcAnywhere, Laplink--they all work the same over the VPN. Because traffic over the VPN is encrypted, this form of remote access is more secure. Not only is your remote PC protected behind a firewall and locked down via user names and strong passwords, but the very connection into the network itself is safe from potentially prying eyes.
The disadvantages with remote control over VPN come in the form of cost and complexity. Not every firewall/router purchased at Best Buy or other electronics store is capable of terminating a VPN connection. Linksys, D-Link, SonicWall, and others make VPN routers, but they cost more than a run-of-the-mill router, sometimes substantially more.
Configuring the VPN connection is also something that most small businesses aren't ready to tackle. Questions such as cipher strength, hash algorithm, and shared secret will stump many small business owners. So additional cost will be incurred by hiring outside help to define and maintain the VPN setup. But the greater cost of initial setup and configuration can be quickly recouped by the overall superior remote access experience provided by the VPN.
Taking the virtual private network concept a little further is the SSL VPN. This is a form of remote access that uses your Web browser to establish a secure connection to your office without any additional software on your laptop. What it does require is a very specialized appliance on your office network that brokers your connection to the various network resources.
An SSL VPN appliance provides connectivity to network resources by proxying, or relaying, your requests through the appliance and then to the appropriate resource. SSL VPNs allow direct access to Web servers and e-mail, and to Windows- and Web-based applications, and some can also provide direct IPSec-style network-level access to servers and desktops.
In many ways, an SSL VPN is superior to an IPSec VPN because it allows the network administrator a fine level of control over who can access what resource, and they can do it for a group of users at the same time. Also, because the secure connection is based on SSL (encryption built into every Web browser), you have no software client overhead to maintain. Lastly, the current crop of SSL VPN appliances can all do some form of integrity check on the client to make sure they don't pose a security risk to the network. This integrity check can take the form of a scan to make sure that the laptop's antivirus signatures are up to date and that antivirus program is enabled, to make sure they have the proper operating system patches installed, and even to make sure they have a particular Registry entry (a form of secret key).
The big drawback to using an SSL VPN for your small business's secure remote access? Cost. A typical SSL VPN can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to well over tens of thousands of dollars. The benefits are huge when compared to the amount and type of access they provide, but it is going to be overkill for all but the deepest of small business pockets.
Server-Based Remote Access
One last form of secure remote access comes built around Microsoft Small Business Server. SBS is a bundle of Microsoft technologies specifically targeted towards offices with less than 75 users and includes file and print services, Exchange e-mail and collaboration, and SharePoint Web services. It also comes with Remote Web Workplace, a Web-based portal to the server and PCs on the network. Much like an SSL VPN, you would connect to the SBS server using your Web browser; and once logged in, you can choose to either log into Outlook Web Access (Webified Exchange e-mail) or connect to a client PC--your office computer.
Remote Web Workplace bridges your connection from the beach in through the firewall and over to your office desktop, all without any additional software on your laptop. It does, however, require a little initial setup in the form of open ports in the firewall and the SBS server's SSL certificate installed on your laptop, so it is a lot like standard Remote Desktop connection in that regard. But when properly set up, it acts more like a SSL VPN because it requires only Internet Explorer on the desktop, and you can then access any PC or server on your network.
The downside to using SBS server is that it has to be the first server on your network--Small Business Server can't be added to an existing Microsoft Active Directory domain. So if you've already invested money and resources into Microsoft servers, SBS probably won't be something you can add. If you don't have a network, or at least not one with Active Directory installed, SBS is a great way to get a lot of very useful technology at a great price.
As you can see, you have a lot of ways to skin the proverbial cat when it comes to remote access. I personally use or have used every form of remote access discussed here, and there isn't a day that I don't use at least one to either work from my home office or provide remote assistance for one of my clients. For me, remote access is an indispensible tool, and one I highly recommend for anyone looking to spend more time with the family or while travelling and still get some work done.

Holiday soirees take their toll. Sure, it's fun to put new twists on tradition, but there are only so many goth Santas, games of Hannukah pong, and New Year's Eve raves you can take before your lifeforce starts to wane. That easy-peasy fantasy world in which your parents grew up can, in fact, start sounding pretty damn good. So this year, when the burnout sets in, find out what mom and dad were waxing nostalgic about by getting all gussied up to catch a performance of South Pacific. (No, donning a dickey and watching the Facts Of Life episode in which Tootie sings "Im Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" on TV Land doesn't count).
Sure, South Pacifics a musical, and it's a romance to boot. But it was also ahead of its time, won all 10 Tony Awards for which it was nominated when it premiered in 1949. How could it not, with tunes like "There Is Nothing Like A Dame," "Bloody Mary," and, of course, "Bali Ha'i"? Lucky you, the 2008 Broadway revival that won another 7 Tony Awards is on the road and hits the Kravis Center (701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach) from January 5th through the 10th. With tickets starting at just 30 bucks, there may be no better way to cleanse your experience palate before the Easter bondage-bunny parties start up. Call 561-832-7469, or visit kravis.org.

We may be early on in the 2012-2013 recruiting season, but it's never too early to begin targeting certain players that could be potential studs. Rather than just list a slew of good-not-great players from East Tennessee and northern Georgia, I've set my sights high with this group of five.
All but one of these players has a specific coach from the Tennessee Volunteers' staff, so you know that the team is serious about these guys.
That one player who doesn't yet have a coach targeting him is the best in-state prospect in the 2013 class. If Derek Dooley is trying to rejuvenate Tennessee as the premier program in the state, getting this guy is imperative.

The Vikings were a seafaring people. Their well-designed, infamous longships caused terror across the world from Northern Europe to the Black Sea, - even North America! If you want to learn more about the notorious longships and the people who built them, here's some inspiration for you.
Prehistoric monuments - Editorial
Showing 4 from 4 marked with "Prehistoric monuments"
The Vikings were more than simply a raiding and pillaging people. They had highly developed social, religious and commercial structures and were just as adept at farming as raiding.
There's a little bit of Viking in all of us. Young and old, we all share a fascination with the Vikings, their history and their way of life. So whether you want to try your hand at Viking life or immerse yourself in Viking history and culture, Denmark offers it all.
The city of Aalborg offers something for everyone, regardless of interests and budget. The harbour is a buzzing new area of cultural attractions, including the Utzon Centre, and a great place to walk and take in views of the city.

About the Raymond Weil Nabucco Collection
Raymond Weil launched the Nabucco series in 2007. Named after the opera by Giuseppe Verdi, the watch range is exclusively a mechanical collection. Nabucco, which is short for Nabucodonosor, narrates the tale of King Nabucco's expatriate of the Jews from their own homeland. The collection lauded for its lustrous design and unmatchable proportions, shares the same masculinity and powerful characteristics as the king Nabucco. The collection of watches is imposing in nature, commanding power, something that Raymond Weil thought would appeal to the new-generation of assertive and confident gentlemen.
Raymond Weil is one of the few luxury watchmakers who are admirably loyal to the fine traditional art of watch making. The thick and large cases give the watches imposing proportions. Nabucco has been constructed using technically innovative and elegant materials like rose gold, titanium, carbon fiber, stainless steel and rubber. The high-end look that the watches possess is due to the recessed sides, complex assimilation of the components and intricate detailing. The Nabucco watches have a large diameter with a thick body that gives the collection its masculine look. The watches have substantial tachymeter bezel that comes in handy whenever you need to measure speed. The case back is mostly screwed down with sapphire crystal that gives it a very distinct look. The dial looks classy in black with Arabic numerals and indexes in most of the watches in this collection. The crown is screwed down with RW logo. The case window is made of sapphire-crystal with anti-glare treatment on both the sides.
The collection runs on a mechanical chronograph with automatic winding movement that complements the stature of Raymond Weil. Subsidiary dials feature chronograph counters to accurately measure elapsed time. Featuring high-water resistance, this watch complements your active lifestyle.

Now's the time to forage native and non-native edibles
As the big leaf maple pollen settles in a fine layer of yellow dust on everything, it signals that the cornucopia of spring edibles has arrived.
This week I collected the new growth of salmonberry, red huckleberry, Indian plum, sweet ciceley, heal all, nettle, bittercress, violet and miners lettuce, chopping it all up finely into a salad bowl. I then garnished it with the flower petals of salmonberry, Oregon grape and dandelion and sprinkled some homemade rose-pink nettle vinegar and nettle gomasio over the top.
The result was not only delicious but vitamin- and mineral-packed as well.
From a forager's standpoint, this is as good as it gets!
The most prominently displayed wild edible these days is the much-maligned dandelion. Its bright yellow sunflower face lights up lawns, and yet it is vigorously eradicated and bad-mouthed. The irony here is that the plant was intentionally brought to this continent by early Europeans because of its wide use as a spring green and as a potent medicinal.
I recommend leaving a few in your garden, since it is beneficial to your other plants; its long tap root is designed to draw deep soil minerals to the surface for other plants to access.
The fresh leaves of dandelion have always been a popular salad green, although some find them too bitter. This bitterness stimulates the liver functioning, but the taste can be disguised by chopping it finely and mixing it in with other greens.
The leaves provide high amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin B-complex, Vitamin C and the minerals iron, calcium, potassium and copper.
Fresh dandelion leaves can also be brewed into a nutritious spring tonic or blended with tomato juice and spices for a non-alcoholic cocktail. Picking the leaves of any plant before the plant flowers reduces its bitter flavor.
Dandelion root teas and tinctures are recommended by naturopaths for hepatitis, anemia, cirrhosis and gallstones. It is a diuretic, promoting the elimination of excess fluids and toxics. It is also slightly laxative and recommended for treating constipation. The roots can also be roasted in the oven until barely crunchy and then boiled in water for a delicious nutty-flavored drink.
The brilliant yellow flowers are said to be an antidote for depression and have been historically made into wine and beer.
Another plant that has everyone talking now is the nettle. Although nettle is not native, it is considered naturalized since it was brought to this continent more than 600 years ago. The fresh young plant is a delicious edible and when lightly steamed loses all evidence of its sting. It is loaded with vitamins A and C, and fresh nettle leaf juice is an excellent source of amino acids, calcium, iron and magnesium.
Dried nettles are 40 percent protein by weight. I make fresh nettle pesto, dried nettle gomasio (seasoning salt), nettle vinegar, nettle beer and nettle soup. A friend just told me that a sip of the nettle vinegar helps relieve his symptoms of seasonal allergies.
A wild nettle patch indicates rich soil. High in nitrogen, it makes an excellent addition to your compost pile. Nettle tea is a great fertilizer for house and garden plants. Growth of tomatoes and strawberries is said to be enhanced by proximity to nettles.
This time of year, when plants in the garden are mere shoots, the wild forests around us are providing a diverse and nutritious bounty. Almost every native plant in our Vashon forests is edible, and foraging as you walk provides a mega-dose of natural vitamins and minerals.

VIDEO - Cattleman's Rail Jam 2010
10th of July 2010
Mitch Williams from Melbourne was a stand out for style at the 2010 Cattleman's event. Front Blunt 270 out.
Photos | Kit Rundle
Tom Pelley has won the 2010 Cattleman's rail Jam event, followed by Robbie Walker the winner from 2009 and 2008. Matt Sedunary took out best trick.
In pouring rain and high winds 18 of Australia's best snowboarders stepped up to battle for over $7,000 cash. The annual event is held on the Cattleman's stair set in the middle of the Mt Buller village and is the only time of the year that snowboarders are allowed to ride the rail.
The hour-long jam was filled with lots of super technical tricks, with 17 year-old Jye Kearney, Robbie Walker and Tom Pelley standing out as the top 3 contenders from the start.
For the hour long jam session the three went head to head with a slay of tricks. Jye Kearney impressed with some 50-50's through the kink side-rail, backside 270's, frontside 270's and cab 270's early on.
It was a close one, but in the end Jye just missed out on any money and second place by Robbie Walker who was his consistent self throwing multitude of 270's on the middle rail, outer rail and gap-to rails. Even throwing a backflip down the stairs for the crowd.
Tom Pelley pulled out in front from both Jye and RObbie after a seriously smooth backside 270 gap to the middle rail that boosted his overall when combined with a number of hammer combinations on all rails. Including his crazy swivels and pretzels -always being would up with ridiculous control of his board.
Best trick went to Matt Sedunary after he stomped a pretty sick inward 270 on the middle rail - a super technical trick considering the tight set-up. Mention has to go to Matt Galina who threw some super technical and balls out backside 270 -hard way gap down the middle rail. Shout out also for Mitch Williams from Buller who rode super smooth all night with some switch nose presses and combos down the middle rail.
The night ended on a bit of a downer when the winner Tom Pelley went down hard on the last hit of the night and badly dislocated his shoulder. Word is still out on his condition - but $4000 might make him a bit happier or at least pay for a holiday to somewhere not raining.
1st - Tom Pelley

Great Ski IN Ski OUT Condo: Amenities: Range, Small Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Microwave, Ski Lockers, Inside and outside pool nearby.
Activities: Very close to Ski Lifts. Ski right to Condo Door.
I have enjoyed staying here though out the seasons. It is so convent for skying! Just step out the door and get on the lift. Walking distance to the pool hot tub and sauna was wonderful after a buy day of fun.
I have been to this property several times during the winter and summer. It has met my needs perfectly. It is very well situated to the slopes and a short walk to the lift. While it is not the most well decorated, it is warm, cozy and clean. It is wonderful to have coffee on the balcony during the summer months, it is near the biking and walking paths, close to the pool and Ivan's. Great location. I hope to use it again. The landlord was cooperative and helpful.
This is not my first visit to this Shanty Creek condo. I have,stayed here many times and enjoyed each trip and stay. While this condo is not the fanciest or most well decorated, it is cozy, warm and close to all amenities. It is a great condo to be close to the slopes, walking paths, golf, tennis. It is most enjoyable to be on the balcony in the summer with a cup of coffee under the shade of the trees. I have found it clean each time I have been here and have been comfortable with the condition of the condo. I hope to stay here again.
We arrived at this unit for a family ski vacation. The first thing I noticed was the musty smell. The couches in the front room looked like they were at least 20 years old and had the dirt and grime on them to prove it. There was a hole in one of the pillows. I would not sit on these couches.
Cooking facilities were limited, as was described in the listing, but the condition of the pots and pans and other utensils was unacceptable. We had to wash everything before we used it. The pan we cooked eggs in left them in edible because there were metal flakes all through them. The stove smoked horribly because it was so dirty and the knobs on the burners were broken so it was very difficult to regulate the temperature.
When my daughter pulled back the covers to get in bed, we found a used tissue in the bed - suggesting that the linens had not been changed. There was one replacement roll of toilet paper for a condo that sleeps 9 and no soap. There were plenty of empty cardboard toilet paper tubes among the boxes of mouse bait under the bathroom sink, however.
The owner, who had been very responsive in the pre-rental phase, became totally unresponsive when I emailed him with these complaints. After the second email, I told him I would leave a negative review if I did not get a response from him. I got a one- sentence reply "I am sorry that the property does not meet your expectations.". That was the only response I was ever able to elicit. My requests for a partial refund due to the condition of the property were ignored.
I could have dealt with the dated feel of the place if it had at least been clean. The only thing this rental would be appropriate for is a bunch of frat buys who don't care about cleanliness. You can get a much nicer place up there for the same amount of money.
This condo worked well as a weekend getaway for our family of six. The host was helpful in answering questions I had, and we found the place just as he had described it, comfy and clean.
The only real drawback to the unit is that it's not really set up for much cooking or dining. It has 2 dorm-sized refrigerators, a 2-burner stove (in addition to the oven and microwave), and only a counter and bar stools, plus some t.v. tables for eating at. But for a weekend or for people who mostly eat out it would be fine.
For a ski getaway, it would be fabulous. You could walk out the door with your skis and just hop on the ski lift. The inn with restaurants and pools is just steps away. Golfing is close, also.
We enjoyed the ski hill as an opportunity for a vigorous climb and spectacular view from the top.

Apparently Belgian waffles and boxers ballooning from men's britches don't mix at Waffle House. A pair of South Carolina men were cited for disorderly conduct last weekend after they allegedly refused to pull up their trousers at a local Waffle House, authorities told the New York Daily News.
A security guard at the restaurant "asked them to leave for failing to comply with his request to pull their pants up and not show their boxers," according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office report cited by the Daily News. But Andrew Gehring and Donovan Johnson, both 22, allegedly became argumentative, instead, standing up for their right to wear low-riding pants, according to police
"Mr. Johnson and Mr. Gehring both advised that they were out to have fun and implied they were Wofford students graduating this date and it wasn't their concern that proper decorum was needed in the public domain," according to the police report cited by the Daily News.
Police said the pair continued to be belligerent and allegedly used foul language as police officers tried to arrange rides home for them.
UPDATE: One of the men cited for disorderly conduct stemming from allegedly wearing low-riding pants at a Waffle House disputes the police officials' version of events, as detailed above:
"Not once was I or the other alleged party given the opportunity to explain our truth," one of the men, Andrew Gehring, wrote PennLive in an email.
"This is not a true depiction of that evening. I have not even had my day in court. It is the law that I am innocent until proven guilty..."
So was this the right call, asking the men to pull up their pants and hide their boxers at Waffle House?
Tell us why or why not in the comments.
This story has been update to reflect a statement from one of the men cited in the alleged incident.

I will be going to Jordan soon for Medical School (its a lot cheaper than the US or Europe).
I've been there a couple of times, but didn't stay there for a long time. Any recommendations/advice?
Thank You
|Quoting VonRichtofen (Reply 1):
Will it be at an American University in Jordan?
|Quoting VonRichtofen (Reply 1):
The reason I ask is because I'm not sure an education from Jordanian university would be recognized in the US. I know it wouldn't be in Canada, in fact the only post-secondary education recognized in Canada has to be either from a Canadian or an American university.
|Quoting QR332 (Reply 2):
As for recommendations in Jordan - make friends fast. You won't really be able to do much if you don't know people to show you around Amman and to make sure you have a good time, and as soon as you have made Jordanian friends, your ready to go. I'm asumming your going to Jordan University, which is meant to be a very interesting place - 50,000 students IIRC, with all sorts of people ranging from the rich to the poor and from the religious to the satanic. It is an interesting place, in an interesting city, so enjoy it as much as you can - Amman is a great place if you know people who can show you around.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
With extremely limited modes and a frustrating list of unlockable content, TNA Impact! gets old quickly
TNA Impact! succeeds where many other wrestling games cut corners, providing a decent experience for fans of the T.V. show. However, the apparent lack of content hurts the overall package. Moreover, TNA Impact!'s obvious cut-and-paste in-ring combat system won't impress anyone who's played a wrestling game in the last five years.
Looking back on the last few days, I really wanted to like Midway's TNA Impact!. In a genre that's largely dominated by a certain company's yearly releases, TNA Impact! really had a chance to steal some thunder from its competitors. Unfortunately, all the effort that went into the game's graphics drastically crippled TNA Impact! everywhere else.
The main draw of TNA Impact! is undoubtedly the graphics. Each and every single wrestler looks remarkably like his real-life counterpart, right down to the skin pores. I only wish that the same attention to detail had gone into the horribly limited character creation system. TNA Impact! gives you only a few different pre-constructed skins and layers for each body part, and they all invariably look more or less the same. What's the point of having 20 similar kinds of ears, but only three different body types?
Still, I was more than impressed with the wrestling animations. Every wrestler has a certain weight to them, and most of the grappling is fluid and natural. That being said, every wrestler essentially has the same move set, which does nothing to stave off the tedium from an overly long story mode. In one of the most ridiculous plot lines I've heard yet, you assume the role of hotshot wrestler "Suicide," who is ambushed, kidnapped, and shipped to Mexico by some jealous rivals. Oh, and your character conveniently develops amnesia in the first act, which I assume prevents any phone calls to the police.
One of the first things you'll notice about TNA Impact! is that when you start the game, everything's locked. Everything. Wrestlers, arenas, and even the basic moves are under lock and key until you complete certain events in the story mode. This makes the first few hours of game frustrating, since Midway's fascination with unlockables effectively takes away any incentive to explore TNA Impact! past the exhibition mode. Any good wrestling game gives you variety at the start, but TNA Impact! instead forces you to plod though boring match after boring match first.
If you're going to play this game, I don't recommend doing it alone. TNA Impact! is actually pretty fun when you're button mashing against another player, especially in tag matches. Leaving any of the combat up to the AI is about as effective as choosing a wooden plank for your teammate. I couldn't count how many times I was getting my ass handed to me in the six-sided ring while my AI partner watched with mild indifference.
TNA Impact! can be fun if you've been longing to play a match with Christian Cage or Samoa Joe, but don't expect to enjoy anything but a quick exhibition round. If you own any wrestling game from the last five years, I can almost guarantee it'll have more match types, story lines, and custom moves than this one.

Comprehensive buying guides, features, and step-by-step articles
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Updated 2/19/16
When the snow flies, Breckenridge locals come out to play, and it's not just on the slopes. A winter-long calendar of events keeps this fun atmosphere alive through spring. Check out a few top winter festivals and some local's knowledge on how best to partake. The fun continues with summer events and fall festivals.
Breckenridge Ski Resort Opening Day
Another exciting ski season begins when Breckenridge's chairlifts start turning early November for the 2016/17 season. Get ready for huge powder days and winter season chalked full of events. Peak 8 will be the first peak to welcome skiers and riders; don't miss the opening that locals call their "favorite day of the year."
Local tip: Test out your skiing legs and get your turns on the hill in early. Don't forget, après ski needs just as much training as skiing after a season off. Make time to get reacquainted with our favorite post-ski happy hour watering hole in Breckenridge.
More info: www.breckenridge.com
Dec. 2-4, 2016: Lighting of Breckenridge, Race of the Santas kicks off holiday season in Breckenridge
Town "officially" transforms into a holiday scene on Dec. 3 with the Lighting of Breckenridge and Race of the Santas, when runners and walkers don Santa suits to benefit Adopt an Angel. Events continue all month with the Dew Tour, Santa visits, New Year's Eve parties, and more.
Local tip: Travel early in December — during the Lighting — for a taste of the holidays without all the hustle and bustle. Since so many travelers stick to the peak Christmas and New Year's weeks, early December is a great time to experience some holiday charm.
More info: http://www.gobreck.com/events/winter-holidays
Dec. 31: New Year's Eve Celebration
Bring in the New Year with a boom! Watch a spectacular array of fireworks, (launch location TBD). You can find best visibility from downtown Main Street. Weather permitting, catch the Torch Light Parade flowing down the Breckenridge Ski Resort.
More info: http://blog.gobreck.com/index.php/breck-events/top-picks-for-new-years-eve/
Ullr Fest rocks Breckenridge Jan. 11-14, 2017
For over 50 years, the Breckenridge community has paid tribute to Ullr (rhymes with cooler), the Norse god of snow. Grab a Viking helmet and join the town-wide snow dance which includes the iconic Main Street parade, Ullr Ice Plunge, Ullr talent show, Family Snow Day and more.
Family tip: Plan for the Saturday family party, which offers free skating, sledding, and indoor Ullr activities.
More info: UllrFest.com
Outdoor Art Gallery: 27th Annual International Snow Sculpture Championships Jan. 24 – Feb 5, 2017
Snow carving in Breckenridge began as a local pastime; today, decorated snow artists from across the globe transform 20-ton blocks of snow into an outdoor art gallery. Be sure to catch the Fire Arts Festival for a fiery contrast of burning sculptures, pyrotechnical effects and other spark-filled attractions throughout the Breckenridge Arts District.
Insider tip: Stop by Friday night (Jan. 27), when sculptors work through the night. It's a great time to hang by the fire pits and watch the snow carving community at work. Saturday, head back for the unveiling of the lights, when colored LEDs illuminate the completed sculptures.
More info: SculptSnow.com
Mountain Mardi Gras: February 28, 2017
Revel in the snow with fellow carnival goers this season as Breckenridge celebrates Mardi Gras. After a day on the slopes, head to Main Street for a parade with New Orleans-themed floats, music and drinks.
More info: http://www.gobreck.com/events/mardi-gras
Thirty days of play at Breckenridge Spring Fever: Mid-March through mid-April 2017
Breckenridge's elevation – 9600 feet in town – makes the snow last longer and the bluebird spring days even sweeter. To celebrate, Spring Fever brings a month-long lineup of activities for families, beer drinkers (don't miss Beer Fest), music lovers, mountaineers and more.
All ages: Teens and older kids can drop by the free concerts at the base of Peak 8, while Easter activities tend to be better for younger kids.

Fluid: Men Redefining Sexuality was the movie selected for our first ever twitter pornoparty. It was a ton of fun getting to experience this feminist porn award winning movie with others while we all tried to make each other laugh and think about what was going on.
The format is similar to Fluid: Women Redefining Sexuality in that the film features men sitting around talking about their sexuality and what it means to them followed by some hot hot action of them having sex with both men and women.
Truthfully, I enjoyed Fluid: Women more than Fluid Men. I felt like more of the women were politically minded and open minded than the men. I feel like even though the men enjoyed having sexual experience with other men that they had this barrier against wanting to have relationships with them. This of course wasn't the case for all of them, but for more than half. I felt like the way they talked about sex and their own sexuality just showed how rampant homophobia is in our society that even these men who enjoy sex with other men had these barriers that still could use some breaking down. Granted this is totally my opinion and you may feel otherwise. But for me, only the last two men featured fully embraced their sexuality. But that could also be a reflection of my own sexuality and looking for that in other people. What did other people think who have either viewed it with us at the twitter party or who have seen it on their own?
Ok so here's how it breaks down…
Scene 1: Jack Hammer
Jack is a handsome muscular black man who prefers muscular, non-hairy men who take great care of themselves. He's kind of picky with men, but not so much with women. He loves lots of different kinds of women. He is ex-military and likes to attend bisexual play parties. Overall he tends to prefer people who identify as bisexual or pansexual.
So after the interview (and interspersed throughout as well) we get to see Jack and Constance get it on. This woman is sooo cute and sexy. She's got a little bit of a tummy, dark brown hair, and bruises on her tummy from what appears to be play piercing.
The sex starts out pretty rough, but gets a bit softer and more sensual as the scene moves on. One thing I noticed about this flick compared to the other one is that it feels like the clothes come off almost instantly. I don't know if this is a trick of editing or if the guys are just a lot less patient when it comes to clothing.
So in this scene we get some belt choking, deep throating (with nose holding for extra suffocation), talking that I can't hear (seriously when will someone answer my plea for subtitles in porn?), and some penis in vagina intercourse with a condom.
Scene 1.5: Gabriel
I call it 1.5 because we get to see the interview of the next guy and then he joins in on the fun with Jack and Constance. Gabriel grew up in Brazil and surprised himself when he realized he was attracted to men sometime in his 20s. He has no interest in dating men and only wants to fuck them. Although, he is into lots of different types of men and the body part that turns him on most on both men and women is their genitalia.
Gabriel makes an appearance in the scene with Jack and Constance. The scene starts with Gabriel sucking Jack off while Constance watches and masturbates with a hitachi. There's making out, rimming, and butt sex. Condoms are used and we even see the switching of condoms when partners are switched. This always makes me happy. To make me even happier, Constance wears a glove when she fingers Jack's ass. Also, there's a butt sex train and a double cock suck fest. In the end both men cum on Constance and then Jack licks it up.
Scene 2: Deviant Kade
Kade's interview reveals that he identifies as bisexual and that he also has no interest in dating men. He also seems to have a very limited view of what the word queer means. He says that he moved to San Francisco in order to better explore his sexuality and that his first anal experience was with a woman strapping on. His turn ons include attitude, open mindedness, well defined men who aren't too muscley, curvy ladies, people who take care of themselves, and intellect. BTW Kade has beautiful eyes. Just sayin.
The sex scene starts between Kade and Amber Rayne. I gotta admit that I am not attracted to Amber. She's very conventionally pretty and thin which doesn't tend to do it for me. However, that girl has a mouth on her and that is totes hot. I can never hear dirty talk in porn, but she annunciates all of her dirty words and I can hear it all. It was actually kind of surprising to hear that dirty mouth so clearly. No low growls or anything. Just clearly stated "Go balls deep in that fucking cunt" and "I want you to cum on my face so I can fucking taste it."
Anyhoo, there's some oral sex on both sides, rimming, and Amber finger fucks Kade with her long nails *shudder*. Kade then fucks Amber in the pussy with no condom.
And then this kind of weird dude (Mark Frenchy) with a ridiculous headband on (loved Coyote's tweet at us to not judge him for his headband) comes in and gets between the two. He pushes Amber away with his foot and she performs some slight foot worship upon it. Then we have a bit of a repeat from the other scene where Mark sucks Kade's cock while Amber masturbates with a hitachi. Then she joins back in the action and there is a lot of sucking and rimming going on. Follow that with fucking and blowing and stroking. And then all is ruined when Mr. Headband – who is not wearing a condom- fucks Amber in the pussy then the ass and then back again. This pretty much squicked me. And then there's some cumming, but I'm still too distracted by the ass to vag thing to enjoy that at all.
Scene 3: Rose
When Rose came on the screen I think everyone in twitter pornoparty melted a bit. This guy was just adorable and politically-minded and more interested in breaking down gender than the ones before him. Obviously, we were a somewhat like-minded group. Although that doesn't mean that we don't welcome others for future twitter parties. As long as you respect the sex workers you are welcome to our twitter parties.
Rose embraces the word queer, but tends to identify more as an animal. His goal is to get out of the human mindset and break free by delving into his animalistic sexual instincts. Rose also believes that everything is queer. That queerness isn't just about sexuality or bodies, but about being strange/out of the norm and embracing it. He says that he is a "super feminist" and he is also attracted to power. Don't you just love him?
So then the sex scene starts and this time it's two guys beginning. They also seem to keep their clothes on longer which is great because we get to linger on the lacey panties that Tommy Midas is wearing. But before we even get to his panties we see them makingout very sensually. Sure the guys makeout in other scenes, but this scene is just hotter. It feels more genuine. It feels so real and sexy. Plus I think we were all excited that Tommy was a bit of a twink. There's some cock sucking and some really intense ass fucking with great moaning.
Scene 3.5: Tommy Midas
Like I already said, Tommy is a twink and an adorable one at that. He identifies as queer and as a boy – not a man. He feels that queer is about having more fun, but also having a political agenda. He feels the identity is unrestrictive and tears at the notions of gender. Tommy is a boy and to a certain extent you see that identity in his desire to either be or fuck Peter Pan, the perpetual boy. Tommy is really into age play and also delving deep into the dark parts of the psyche. When Tommy finds himself in relationships they seem to mostly be with female bodied partners who also identify as queer. And just an FYI: he loves group sex.
Now this scene was very interesting to me because a few of the people participating in the pornoparty mentioned that Tommy didn't look like he enjoyed performing oral sex on a female bodied person. In watching him, I felt like he seemed to enjoy it just as much as when he gave Rose a bj and I wonder how much of this type of judgment had to do with how he presented his gender. He's a twinky boy and if you saw him walking down the street there's a good chance you would assume he is gay because of his mannerisms. But in his interview he said that he mostly dates female bodied people so why was this being questioned? I thought that it was interesting that in a movie called "men redefining sexuality" it was assumed that this man was not portraying his honest sexuality. It just goes to show you that even sex positive folks can still put people in boxes that they don't want to be in. It's a process and I think it is important for us to all be aware of our own prejudices in order to try to break them down.
Anyhoo, on to the sex. That's really what you want to hear about anyway, am I right? This scene starts where the last one stopped. Rose is fucking Tommy in the ass. Then Devi Lynne, a beautiful woman, comes in. She starts kissing Tommy and Rose just kind of disappears into the background for a big chunk of this scene. Tommy and Devi perform oral on each other. Devi tells Tommy that he's a very pretty boy which he enjoys. Then they fuck and there is no condom.
At this point Rose reappears to everyone's delight – he really was the fave of the party. Devi sucks Tommy off while Rose fingers his ass and strokes his own cock. Rose then cums on Tommy's ass and Devi licks it up. Then there's a 3way kiss and the scene ends.
Slideshow: Pics of the actors taken in studio and on set. They are set to music. I tend to think that these are rarely worthwhile. The quality (at least on my computer) is somewhat poor and pixelated.
Trailers: There is a trailer for Fluid: Women Redefining Sexuality and The Curse of MacBeth
Overall thoughts: The lighting and sound for all the scenes were done well. It's never perfect for indie porn, but the quality was better than a lot of the movies I've seen. All the scenes were comfortable. There was very little to no awkwardness between players and some had really great chemistry. The interviews were interesting and gave you a little glimpse of each guy's personality and what turns him on. Overall, though I really prefer Fluid Women over Fluid Men. This may just be a personal taste thing, but I felt more openness and chemistry from the women. Although I do love watching guys suck cock and makeout. If you do too, then definitely pick this flick up. You can get it on DVD or VOD both from Good Vibrations.
