Christine had nearly forgotten that when Chad left that morning, she had been curled up and non-responsive. She remembered, though, as soon as the doctor left and she saw the hurt expression on his face. He had not even sat down or taken her hand yet, but was just standing looking at her. He had brought a small boquet of flowers, and used them as an excuse to not look at her, turning and placing them on the windowsill instead.
She could not think of anything to say to him, either, so she just waited until he turned back to her and patted the chair again.
"How are you?" He finally asked.
"Um, I am ok. They made me eat lunch and get up to go to the bathroom. My headache went away but my leg really hurts where the stitches were put in."
"hmm. I went ahead and ran some errands and caught up with a few things so taht I could stay a while this evening. I can stay the night, too, if you want. Your Mom is going by your place and then coming around 8pm. If you want anything, I can give her a call." His sentences were short and impersonal.
"Chad... I am sorry about earlier. I just did not know how to react to the cop. I... I had no idea there was someone else in the accident and... i guess I was just scared about what it all could mean. I do not know hoe to handle this and I guess I just... clammed up. You knwo? Do you forgive me? I do not want to be like that with you... I want to trust you with everything!"
He took her and and looked into her eyes. "Christine, I know you are scared and confused. Thank you for telling me that." He looked down and cleared his throat, "Honestly, though, that is not the only reason I am ... miffed with you." Stressing the end of the sentence, he looked back at her face and then bit his lip. She waited, knowing he was the type to say what he wanted to when he awas ready.
"Last night... Christine, you were supposed to pick up Michael yesterday. Did you know that?"
Her face regsitered a look of shock and tears welled up in her eyes yet again. "Michael? I forgot about Michael? Chad, I am so sorry! Oh my God... I... I... But, I just... Oh my God." She covered her face with her hands and sobbed.
Chad sat looking at her for a few seconds before he reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Christine, he is ok. i need you to calm down, please. Just talk to me. Tell me what really happened. You should have been there at six o clock but they said your accident was closer to ten o clock. So somthing else must have been going on."
She cleared her throat and wiggled to get him to loosen his hug. She did not look at him right away but took a few deep breaths to get a clear head and voice. "I do not know how I could have forgotten him, Chad. I really.... I guess I just was not feeling like myself yesterday. I... I left work on time, I think, and then I just kept driving. I had a lot on my mind... Mom called at some point and asked if I was coming over, so I started to go that way. I did not know what time it was or how long I had been driving, but then I was not thinking about it, either. Are you sure Michael is okay?" She finally looked up at him, to find him studying her face.
"Yes, he is alright, but I am in big trouble with Georgette. The instructor called me while I was in class and had my phone off. So he called her... She is making a really big deal out of the situation. I am sorry Christine, but I just need you to know how important it was for you to pick him up yesterday. I am having a hard time trusting you."
Once again her face registered with shock and the tears came to the surface. He was still looking directly into her face as he spoke matter of factly to her. She refused to let the tears fall or to look away this time. He was such a solid foundation in her life, and if everything else was dissapearing, she had to at least hold on to him. Softly, she formed her reply.
"Chad... you know that I care very deelpy for Michael, and for you as well. I do not know how I forgot about him. I do not know how I got in that accident last night. Maybe i could talk to Georgette and explain that it is my fault. You know that I would do anything to make things right."
"Christine, Georgette does not want to talk to you. She still thinks that you are the horrible little woman who took me away from them. We know that it is not true and that she has problems. But it also means that she is going to use this to against us. Use it as a way to keep us from seeing him or at least make it more difficult. He is my son but she holds the keys right now. When you did not pick him up at six last night, the fencing instructor waited for thirty minutes before calling me, and another 15 minutes before calling her. She had to leave a meeting with her boss when she could not get ahold of me. She picked Michael up at seven thirty and the instructor apparently chewed her out. He is asking that we pay him for having to stay longer and keep him from his family. It just turned into a big fight when Georgette finally got ahold of me last night. Of course she was yelling while Michael was still in the car, and that made me really upset. Especially since it was then eight thirty and i had no idea where you were since you were not there to pick up Michael and I had not heard from you, either."
Christine was getting a little overwhelmed with feelings of guilt, but she took another deep breath, knowing that Chad would still want to finsihe the conversation so taht it did not have to drag on into another conversation. "Yes, I think you called while I was talking to Mom. I really do not know what elase to say. I mean- Chad, I know I caused a problem. It is obvious that Georgette is going to hold it against you... but honey, that means she is holding it against us! I am not just a random person in the lives of you and Michael. I am a dedicated part and one day we will be a family. I can see that I caused a problem. I am aware that Georgette is going to be more difficult now because I caused some grief. Please... please accept my apology for this!"
Chad knew that she was being sincere. He still did not understand how he could learn to trust her after forgetting to pick up his six year old son, but he wanted to with all his heart. On faith in her and in their relationship, he leaned forward and gave her another hug, awkawardkly because of the neck brace, and replied, "Christine, I do forgive you. I am sorry if I came across hard on you, but we have to be able to trust each other, because Michael needs to be able to trust us. I know that you love him, and I know that you aer committed to becoming a family one day. just keep talking to me and let me know if there is something that you can not do or even something you will not do. I need to know these things because it is my job to keep my son safe. Do you understand?"
"Of course I understand. I will make sure that we keep communicating- I do know that it is very important to you, and I want to do everything possible to keep that up."

EIHL: Benn Olson and Derek Campbell banned after incident after Coventry Blaze defeat
Coventry Blaze's Benn Olson and Derek Campbell have both been banned following an altercation after the Braehead game.
Last Updated: 31/01/13 2:50pm
Olson has been handed a two-match ban and Campbell a one-match ban after the incident was reviewed by an Elite League disciplinary committee.
Both men were penalised for roughing, Olson was charged with starting a fight. The severity of the altercation meant an extra match was added to his ban.
Campbell has been charged with resisting a linesman in the discharge of his duty.
They will both miss the trip to Cardiff Devils and unless Olson appeals his second game ban he will not be available to face Nottingham.

On Monday Arturo Vidal said he would "love to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world" offering a hint that he might be moving to Manchester United.
But the Chilean World Cup star has now thrown doubt on a potential move, saying he would "be happy" to stay with Italian giants Juventus.
"I am already at a great team like Juventus," he told Chilean TV station Chilevision. "That's why it will not be a problem if the chance to join Manchester United falls through."
Louis van Gaal had made the 27-year-old his top target as he bids to get Manchester United back into the top four and title contention in his first season in charge. United were negotiating a fee of up to £35m, but Van Gaal could now look to other targets.
Manchester United: Potential summer transfer targets
Manchester United: Potential summer transfer targets
1/19 Arturo Vidal
The Juventus midfielder is among United's top targets this summer, particularly after impressing for Chile at the World Cup. Having helped his current team secure the Serie A title, Juventus aren't keen on letting him go.
Getty Images
2/19 Marco Reus
Rumoured to be near the top of United's target list, a possible swap deal involving cash and Shinji Kagawa has been mentioned. The Borussia Dortmund player would not be a cheap acquisition, especially given his recent declaration that he wants to stay at Dortmund next season
Getty Images
3/19 Arda Turan
Former manager David Moyes had been seen watching Turan, though his dismissal put a doubt over whether United were still interested. The winger's agent claims an offer has been made, so is the Atletico Madrid winger on his way to Old Trafford?
Getty Images
4/19 Arjen Robben
The Bayern Munich winger has said Van Gaal has offered him a place at Old Trafford if he wants it. Currently he's happy to stay where he is, but things can quickly change.
5/19 Claudio Marchisio
With Paul Pogba highly unlikely to be prised away from Juventus, United's attention could turn to team-mate Claudio Marchisio. The Italian international would provide some class and experience.
6/19 Mats Hummels
With defensive reinforcements high on United's list of priorities, Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels has unsurprisingly been linked with a move to Old Trafford. The German has been earmarked as the ideal replacement for the now-departed Rio Ferdinand and after his impressive showing at the World Cup, he's even more desirable.
7/19 Raphael Varane
Raphael Varane has already snubbed United once in his career, opting instead to join Real Madrid. It would surely take a big offer to prise the classy defender away now.
8/19 Seamus Coleman
Reportedly already the subject of a £15m bid, Seamus Coleman could be the man being lined up as the answer to United's problems at right-back.
9/19 William Carvalho
The Sporting Lisbon midfielder has reportedly been watched 15 times by Manchester United, although the £29m asking price could prove a stumbling block. The Portugal international has also been linked with Arsenal.
Getty Images
10/19 Xherdan Shaqiri
Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri has struggled to force his way into the first team at the Allianz Arena and could be a target for United as well as rivals Liverpool. His impressive displays for Switzerland this summer could make it harder to prise him away.
11/19 Alex Song
Barcelona are understood to be ready to let the former Arsenal player leave this summer. Could provide some strength to United's midfield. Could also bring embarrassment judging by his behaviour at the World Cup.
12/19 Fabio Coentrao
Supposedly came within hours of signing in January, the Portuguese left back could be brought in to provide back-up to Luke Shaw.
13/19 Julian Draxler
A long time Arsenal target, United are reportedly interested in pinching the young German with a bumper offer. Seems unlikely though. Arsenal also strongly interested.
14/19 Sami Khedira
The Germany international is reportedly being pursued by a host of sides, and United might be wise to get in the mix as they look to add some quality to a fairly feeble looking midfield. Real Madrid appear open to letting him go with the 27-year-old having just one year left on his contract. Arsenal and Chelsea are among the others keen on signing the World Cup winner.
15/19 Edinson Cavani
The Uruguayan hitman would prove pricey and tricky to snatch away from PSG and it seems unlikely United have enough to offer him.
16/19 Luciano Vietto
The Racing Club youngster has been impressing in Argentina for some time although a move directly to United would be something of a surprise.
17/19 Santiago Arias
Should a move for Seamus Coleman fail, PSV defender Arias is reportedly being lined up by United. Played for Colombia throughout the group stage of the World Cup.
18/19 Miralem Pjanic
Rumoured to part of a joint bid including teammate Benatia, the Bosnian midfielder is reportedly another on United's large hit list.
19/19 Kevin Strootman
Van Gaal knows Strootman well from working with him in the Netherlands set-up and has indicated he is interested. Roma are reluctant to sell whilst his recovery from a knee injury may prove a stumbling block.
Vidal has grown into one of the world's finest midfielders since moving to Turin from Bayer Leverkusen, winning the Scudetto in all three of his seasons in Italy.
"I am not thinking about where to go next," he added. "I just want to enjoy my holiday here in Chile with the people I love.
"We will see what happens when I get back to Italy."
When speaking to Chilean newspaper La Tercera over the weekend, Vidal said: "I've heard about the rumours, but I haven't spoken more about this subject.
"I'm enjoying my holidays, and when I return to Italy I'll see what happens.
"I'm very calm, but anyone would love to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world."

The second Collett goods is coming along nicely and should be ready in plenty of time for next weekend's show.
The first photo show the large part of the chassis block being milled out. The front axle clearances are complete and the area around the gear train are in the process of being milled up to the marks.
The second gives the fully milled chassis components including the worm carrier and the insulating bushes on the screws which hold the two parts together.
The third picture shows the chassis dry assembled along with the tender axles and the bodies that will be mounted on this concoction.
So the balance weights and crank pins need adding to the wheels, the tender axles need turning to points and the gear axles need preparing. After the two chassis halves are bonded and screwed together, everything will be primed and painted before final assembly. Having already checked things against known templates from the first build, I don't predict any nasty surrpises.
Once this loco is finished there are some wagon transfers to be finished, coaches to be fettled and some platform furniture to fit before Friday. Nothing like a deadline to ensure progress!

Embodiments of the invention relate to user interfaces, and more particularly to data objects and dynamic end user applications that incorporate user expertise and understanding.
Work performed with electronic devices is generally performed in an interactive way, where the electronic device (computer, handheld device, wireless device, etc.) presents data to a user for work, and the user performs one or more actions on the data. The user may also create data in an application, which data can then be made part of the system or otherwise be interacted with. The user experience with the work environment and/or the data to be worked includes how the data is presented to the user for interaction.
Many current user interfaces (UIs) are built on a model-view-controller (MVC) based architecture intended to decouple the data model (M), the interaction control (C), and the appearance or view (V). Although such architectures are intended to decouple the different layers of the architecture, there is still dependency between the layers, which weakens the decoupling of the layers. Thus, contrary to what is expected, the reality is that traditional separation in these layers does not make the layers agnostic to each other. Backend services are built to feed the model of UI-patterns, and the controller supports the behavior of the visual layer. Because of these interdependencies, the enabling of UI-patterns requires sophisticated knowledge about available services and programming skills to integrate the layers. The traditional requirements for knowledge and programming skills results in higher development and maintenance costs to generate multi-modal support. Traditional approaches to the use of MVC have resulted in the creation of applications that are very complex (e.g., end user modeling is difficult). Additionally, the interdependencies in the M, C, and V layers limit the ability for reuse (e.g., there are platform and presentation dependencies). Thus, the creation of applications with MVC has traditionally only partly met the design goals of MVC.
One area affected by the above limitations of current technology is with the introduction of enterprise service architecture (ESA) into the enterprise. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has enabled platforms to deconstruct database-oriented business applications into highly flexible chunks of content and functionality that reflect the context of business situations better than previous monolithic applications. With ESA, business applications resemble more a bundle of resources than a monolithic transaction or application. The advent of ESA also coincides with the fact that applications and functionality are being applied to multi-channel, multi-modal occasionally connected (OCA) user experiences. Current solutions are either built on the monolithic application approach, or built as compositions of UIs tightly coupled to specific UI channels. That is, data are bound to UI components and floorplans to arrange business content to serve specific scenarios, but each must be separately developed for each scenario, and each UI channel. There is a resulting lack of re-use of screen-oriented service compositions, and a lack of multi-channel accessibility.
Although users expect pervasive access to business context data, traditional systems do not support the providing of information and tools for multi-channel, multi-modal OCA user experiences. Users have traditionally had to adapt expectations and behavior to deal with limited connectivity, limited access to data, and limited ability to perform work on tasks. The simple fact that applications for different channels have had to be re-implemented from scratch for each channel has significantly reduced the possibility of consistency of user experience across channels.
Methods and apparatuses enable generation of data objects having properties that reflect business understanding and how the data objects are to be used. Thus, a data object incorporates domain knowledge for a better user experience. A user experience data object ("UX object") is semantically defined by object characteristics including actions, attributes, and relations needed to incorporate the UX object into one or more user interface (UT) contexts. One or more UX object usages define object characteristics related to a specific context in which the UX object is to be accessed. The usage and UX object have decoupled business logic, and can be associated to enable a UX object to be incorporated into a UI component that allows access to the UX object. A usage has business logic decoupled from the UX object, and is associated with the UX object.
In one embodiment, the UX object and views and usages of the UX object are defined in a development environment. The UX object and usage are instantiated and associated. The UX object and usage can then be provided as reusable UI component building blocks. Different usages of a UX object would provide for different visualizations in the UI. Thus, in one embodiment, the usage can be considered to perform a filtering function to define what aspects of the UX object will be displayed.
In one embodiment, the UX object has a semantic definition that is based on a business understanding of what a user will do with the UX object. Such understanding can include domain knowledge that indicates a perception of the UX object within a business domain.
In one embodiment, the UX object is bound to a backend system. Thus, in contrast to traditional objects that are instantiated at runtime and bound within a UI to a backend, the UX object itself can be bound to the backend, and any UI component that incorporates the UX object can leverage the binding.
In one embodiment, the UX object and usage are reusable in that different usages can be applied to the same UX object, and a single usage can be applied to different UX objects. That is, a subset of object characteristics of a first UX object and a subset of object characteristics of a second UX object may match the object characteristics defined by the usage. Additionally, first and second usages defining object characteristics related to specific contexts can be separately applied to a UX object, where the object characteristics defined by the first usage and the object characteristics of defined by the second usage are included within the object characteristics defined by the UX object.
In one embodiment, a runtime aspect enables defining an object container representing a UI context in which to provide views of one or more objects. Logic is included within the container to enable invoking a UX object and a usage from the container. Thus, the container can incorporate the UX object and the usage as reusable building blocks. A UI component is generated in the container to provide a visualization of the UX object, with only object characteristics defined in the usage. Thus, viewing and accessing the UX object is limited to what is defined for the particular usage, and other aspects of the data (which are extraneous relative to the particular usage context) are not present. The data object will still have the other aspects of data, which may be accessible in other usages.
In one embodiment, an end-user application may be defined through transitions between different views of the UX object, or views on related UX objects.
The following description includes discussion of figures having illustrations given by way of example of implementations of embodiments of the invention. The drawings should be understood by way of example, and not by way of limitation. As used herein, references to one or more "embodiments" are to be understood as describing a particular feature, structure, or characteristic included in at least one implementation of the invention. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment" or "in an alternate embodiment" appearing herein describe various embodiments and implementations of the invention, and do not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment. However, they are also not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Descriptions of certain details and implementations follow, including a description of the figures, which may depict some or all of the embodiments described below, as well as discussing other potential embodiments or implementations of the inventive concepts presented herein. An overview of embodiments of the invention is provided below, followed by a more detailed description with reference to the drawings.
In one embodiment, consider a two-layer approach to providing data to be viewed and accessed in a user interface (UI), where a first layer involves semantically modeling data that is relevant for the user experience, and a second layer involves defining consumption of the data. The first layer includes user-experience (UX) object models that store semantics that describe how the UX object is to be consumed by end users. The description of how the UX object is to be consumed by the end users involves incorporating the knowledge of business domains into the UX object. That is, experience suggests how end-users expect to be able to access data, what they expect the data to show, and what they expect to be able to do with the data. Such domain knowledge is accounted in the definition of the UX object. The resulting UX object is thus modeled semantically, basically defining the contents of the UX object by the expectations (i.e., what the object "should mean" from the perspective of its users), rather than simply what contents a developer thinks the object should have. Note the difference between the definition of a UX object as described, and a traditional object, which may be referred to as a "technical object" that persists data in the backend or supports application logic. The technical object is defined in terms of its technical contents, and use and access of the data is limited to interaction with the technical contents. UT definitions are generated to define interactions with the technical object.
The UX object is generated from a data model that contains related actions, related entities, relationships, and reusable usages of the object. A reusable usage is related to how data is presented and viewed (e.g., a view in an MVC model), as described in more detail below. However, a usage is not a UI definition, rather a content definition. The reusable usage specifies content for different types of views. A UX object has different usages that define what parts of the UX object should be used if the UX object is used in a certain manner. For example, a "list item view" specifies what content of the UX object should be shown in a list item view and a "results list view" specifies what content of the UX object should be shown in a result list view. Similar usages can be established, for example, for a dashboard status view, a mini fact sheet, etc. In one embodiment, a reusable usage defines a mapping to a third party view of a known entity (e.g., a Personal Information Manager (PIM) entity, a MICROSOFT EXCHANGE entity, etc.).
Where the UX object and its contents may be understood as a first layer, the second layer referred to above defines consumption of the data. The second layer may be referred to as a usage layer. The usage layer defines the consumption of UX objects in the form of abstract building blocks, which are related to UI contexts in which a UX object may be accessed. The abstract building blocks may be UI patterns or UI frames with one or more types of usages that can be inserted in to the patterns. For example, UI contexts could include inbox, context inspection, KPI (key performance indicator) dashboard, search, etc., that have UI patterns and usage types related to the contexts. Such UI patterns can be building blocks that provide a standard content template to be filled with content available in UX objects. For example, a business analyst may construct an "Inspection Template" for a sales representative out of the UX object semantics for a Customer Business Object. The Inspection Template defines what a sales representative (i.e., any sales representative, generally) should be able to see and do when looking at Customer Information. Examples of UI contexts may further include a mobile device UI platform that provides content to a user on a mobile device, or a business application UI that provides content in the execution of the application.
MVC architectures have traditionally only provide for end-user semantic understanding in specific presentation and/or channel-specific UI design. In contrast, UX objects decouple the modeling of end-user related semantic understanding from the presentation or channel specific layer and allow very quick construction of UT component building blocks. Reference to different channels refers to the concept of data access in various different application types on a single device, and/or data access on different device types (e.g., mobile phone versus a desktop computer). The UX building blocks are abstract from the perspective of the presentation layer, which allows for the UX building blocks to decouple the definition of concrete content and role-dependent views from the presentation layer. In one embodiment, content templates according to the UX objects described herein can be the model (M) aspect of a traditional MVC UI pattern. Alternatively, the content templates may be consumed by an active client that has interfaces to directly process and use the data.
In one embodiment, reusable usages for the UX objects allows the deployment of content changes into different usages, which are then automatically propagated from the data layer to the presentation. For example, if a list view is changed, all presentations (e.g., UI patterns) using the usage type will be changed corresponding to the updated version of the usage (e.g., a list view will be updated to match a current list view type).
Thus, instead of tweaking abstract UT definitions into different channel-dependent user interfaces as traditionally done, the use of UX object with different usages allows a system to generate and send "raw" business context data (i.e., not processed for any particular presentation type) to a client. The client can then be fully responsible for creating the user experience by filtering and processing views on the data based on client capabilities. In such an approach, the model (M) aspect of a UI pattern or UI component generation architecture enables the pattern. The output is not a UI domain language, but a business or work domain language describing resources, views (through usages), and actions for a given business context. Client-side front ends consume data feeds that provide such raw business context data, and maximize the user experience on one device without being limited to cross-channel limitations. Unlike traditional business applications in which a UI pattern is part of a larger application, UX objects and UX usages enable activity-centric applications such as mobile applications, desktop widgets, or transient tasks opened from message inboxes, etc., can be built based on a selected set of compound UI building blocks.
One difference between architecture 100 and traditional MVC architectures includes the separation of model 130 into usage layer 132 and data layer 142. Note that although it is spoken of in terms of different layers, the different layers are conceptual, and represent different functions that are provided at the layer of model 130. Usage layer 132 includes various usages 134, 136, and 138, which each represent a context in which data may be accessed. Thus, each usage represents a different scenario where a UX object may be accessed. The different usages 134-138 may differ only slightly in how the UX object is accessed, or they may differ significantly. The amount by which the usages differ refers to the amount to which the usages define overlaps of object characteristics of the UX object. For example, if a UX object includes characteristics 1-10, two usages may define use of characteristics 1-5 and 2-6, respectively, which another usage may define use of characteristics 1, 4, and 7-10.
Model 130 includes data layer 142, which includes semantic data object 144. Semantic data object 144 represents a UX object as described herein. Data object 144 is semantic because the content of the data object is defined in a way that reflects the business understanding of how the object is to be used. For example, semantic data object 144 may include actions, attributes, and relations similar to any technical data object. However, there may be certain actions, attributes, and/or relations included within semantic data object 144 to support certain contexts in which it will be accessed. Consider a Customer object that has additional actions determined useful for technical support functions, or that has additional relations considered useful for sales functions. While the data itself may simply more and/or different data than present in some other data object definition, the fact that semantic data object 144 is defined with the particular object characteristics enables use of the data in different ways. The access to the data object can be more activity-centric, and more focused on how the user will use the data object. Specific scenarios will not require extensive custom, non-reusable application logic because access to particular object characteristics would then only require certain views on the data for particular UI contexts.
As mentioned above, application logic can be simplified when the data objects incorporated into the applications already are focused on what the business tasks of the data objects will be. Thus, application 112 in the architecture layer of view 110 will tend to include more reusable components than traditional business applications, and will be simpler in terms of its business logic than previous business applications to accomplish the same tasks. UX object 114 of application 112 represents an instantiation of semantic data object 144. In one embodiment, UX object 114 is not a locally generated and locally stored/maintained instance of semantic data object 144. Rather, UX object 114 is an instance of the backend object, and access to and operation on UX object 114 is operation on the backend data.
At architecture layer controller 120, the controller logic may also be simpler than control logic of traditional MVC patterns. Controller 122 need not be as complex, at least because the object data does not need to be custom processed to apply to different UI channels. Usages 134-138 define the UI context, and the views associated with semantic data object 144 define how the data is viewed and accessed. Thus, controller 122 may simply provide an object container from which objects and usages are invoked. Channel filter 124 represents logic that defines what is the channel type for application 112. Channel filter 124 may be a logical composite of information related to the selection of usages 134-138 and views of UX object 114.
Note that as depicted in the example provided, UX object 114 is a UX object generated from semantic data object 144, with usages 136 and 138 that can apply to the object on the particular channel of application 112. Either because the usage is not supported on the particular channel specified by channel filter 124, or because the usage applies to other semantic data objects but not semantic data object 144, usage 134 is not available.
UX object 202 is an example of a UX object according to any embodiment described herein, and is generated from elements from one or multiple backend systems 222-224. That is, object characteristics of UX object 202 may be obtained from multiple sources. In one embodiment, the different elements may be obtained through one or more services (e.g., web services) in the enterprise. For purposes of illustration, UX object 202 is represented having various blocks put together to represent the object as a whole. UX object 202 is depicted with various associated usages 212-216. The usages may be considered from one perspective as selective filters on content present in UX object 202. The usages define what object characteristics (e.g., attributes, actions, relations) are available for particular UI contexts. As graphically depicted in
UI patterns 232-234 define UI contexts in which UX object 202 may be accessed. As used herein, a UI context refers to a situation or scenario in which a UX object may be accessed. The situation may include a business purpose or business situation in which the particular object will be used. For example, a Customer object may be serve different purposes when used in a Sales scenario that when used in a Product Support scenario. In one embodiment, a usage specifically does not have any channel-specific definitions. That is, the UI pattern is generic across all channels, and the client that is accessing the UX object is responsible for determining what is to be displayed and how. A UI pattern could be defined with channel-specific definitions, but such an approach would reduce the effectiveness of the modified MVC architecture that can be achieved with layers that are independent of each other.
Note that there is a relationship between usages and UI patterns, but the two concepts are distinct, as displayed in
UI pattern 234 defines use of usage 216, which can be incorporated into a UI component for display. The resulting visualization may be display 252. UI pattern 232 is invoked by application 240 in the example of
Domain 320 includes name 322, which is an identifier, description 324 and service (srvc) prefix 326. Description 324 represents content describing or defining the domain, and service prefix 326 represents an access mechanism. That is, the prefix helps address calls to the specific domain for content, such as UX object 310. In one embodiment, the identifier for UX object 310 would be {domain.serviceprefix}. {domain.name}. {uxobject.name}.
UX object 310 may have one or many UX relations 330, one or many UX attributes 340, one or many UX actions 350, and one or many UX views 370. UX relation 330 includes type 332 and name 334. Name 334 identifies the particular relation, while type 332 indicates a class of relationship between UX object 310 and a related object. Relationship type 332 will have inherent characteristics regarding what can be done with the relationship, or what will be done as a result of the relationship existing (e.g., loading one object when the related object is invoked). UX object 310 is a target of all relations 320 included in UX object 310, just as the related object would identify the same relation 320 and also be a target of the relation.
UX attribute 340 includes name 342 to identify the attribute, type 344 to indicate the type of attribute, many 346 to indicate whether the instance of the attribute is an array or a single attribute, and description 348 defining its content.
UX action 350 includes name 352 to identify the action, and description 356 to define the content of the action (e.g., logic that provides the functionality provided by the action). UX action 350 may include service 354 to indicate a service that may be invoked to perform the action. That is, actions are generally performed by services in an SOA environment. Action field 360 includes name 362, and is a parameter for service 354 of UX action 350. There may be multiple action fields 360 associated with service 354. If UX action 350 is activated, the corresponding service 354 should be started, and the parameter(s) of action field(s) 360 should be provided to the service as input. Note that an action generally references a particular attribute of UX object 310, as indicated by the arrow from action field 360 to UX attribute 340. Generally attributes are accessed, changed, deleted, or otherwise operated on by actions. Name 362 of action field 360 will indicate the referenced attribute as well as the name of the action, while service 354 defines the logic to perform the action.
Traditional objects may include relations, attributes, and actions. However, the relations, attributes, and actions included in UX object 310 are included based on knowledge and expectation about the use of UX object 310. Additionally, UX view(s) 370 are associated with UX object 310, and define particular content for particular reusable UI scenarios. The inclusion of particular relations, attributes, and actions, the definitions of those elements, and the inclusion of particular views reflect the semantic definition of UX object 310. The knowledge about which elements to include and how to define them represents the domain knowledge that drives the definition of UX object 310.
UX usage 370 most specifically defines particular content of the actions, attributes, and relations needed to incorporate UX object 310 into any of a number of UI contexts from which UX object 310 will be accessed. UX usage 370 includes type 372 to define the type of view (e.g., list view, search results, status or reporting views, etc.), name 374 to identify UX view instances, and description 376 that defines the content to be included in the particular view type. From one perspective, UX usage 370 acts as a visualization filter for UX object 310, including logic that will selectively define which object characteristics to associate with a particular view. Other object characteristics, while still present in UX object 310, will be unviewable and inaccessible to a user if the view does not define them as being part in the particular view.
Model 400 includes usage definition (usagedef) 410, which represents the usage referred to herein. Usage definition 410 include name 412 to identify the usage, and description 414 defines the usage. Usage definition 410 includes one or many relation fields 430, one or many data fields 440, and one or many action fields 450. Relation field 430 provides a mechanism for accessing UX relations (e.g., UX relation 330 of
As mentioned above, usage definition 410 is associated with UX object 460. Technically, usage definition 410 could be associated with multiple UX objects, and thus there could be a line between the two with a diamond on usage definition 410. However, the line with arrows on either end is intended to demonstrate that an association is generated between a usage and a UX object, and is represented by the line. UX object 460 includes name 462 or an identifier (which may include its domain), and description 464. UX object 460 is an example of UX object 310 of model 300 of
Usage definition 410 has a source identified by usage definition catalog (usagedefcat) 420. Usage definition catalog 420 is a repository of usages, and thus may contain multiple usages. At its core, usage definition 410 defines an interface for an application model that will invoke the usage. An application model may be limited to usage definitions that are part of a single usage definition catalog. Thus, usage definition catalog 420 may define what usages are available to a particular business application being developed. Usage definition catalog 420 includes name 422 to identify the catalog, and description 424 to define the catalog and its contents.
In one embodiment, model 400 includes derivations 416. By specifying one or more derivations 416, usages instantiated from model 400 can be extended, which may eliminate the need to specify equivalent fields for each instance. Although fields may thus have a "default," they may still be overwritten. For example, consider a usage with a DataField "Title" for a ListUsage and a SpecialListUsage. The SpecialListUsage instance can be derived from ListUsage, and include the same attributes of ListUsage, and have additional attributes. Thus, each attribute can be defined independently in both usages, or the fields can be derived.
Note that the various attributes of usage model 400 (relation field 430, data field 440, and relation field 450) have logic defined in their respective descriptions. The logic defined for each is the business logic of the attributes, which collectively make up the business logic of a usage instantiated from model 400. Thus, the usage has business logic that is decoupled from any particular UX object, but that allows the usage to work together with UX objects. The attributes of the usage define the mechanisms available to the usage, which defines the attributes or object characteristics of a UX object that are accessible under a particular usage.
Server 510 is a backend system that generates and provides UX objects. Server 510 includes developer environment 512 and runtime environment 514. Developer 512 enables the generation (creation of the model and/or instantiation of an object from a model) of UX object 540. Runtime 514 enables the execution of the instance, and enables server 510 to pass UX object data 560 to client 570.
As illustrated, in one embodiment, UX object 540 is generated by access in developer 512 to various different components of various different backend systems 552-556. In one embodiment, accessing the various different data components, and/or incorporating the data components into a meta object instance includes binding the data component to the respective backend system from which it is derived. Thus, the interfaces and services related to the data components will become part of the UX object 540. The components will then not need to be separately bound to the backend.
UX data model 520 is an example of model 300 of
Server 510 provides UX object data 560, which includes object instance data 562 and usage data 564 to client 570. The raw business data provides everything client 570 needs to provide a visualization of the data to a user.
In one embodiment, development of a UX object can be considered to occur between two separate entities: a system provider developer and a user developer. The system provider developer is a developer that generates UX objects as part of inclusion in enterprise system components generated by an enterprise system provider. The user developer works on the enterprise system and may generate content within the system. The system provider may be considered a content provider, and the user a customer of the system provider. In one embodiment, UI patterns and usages are provided as part of a development/implementation toolbox by the system provider to the user. The user may generate additional UI patterns and usages. The UX objects can be provided as part of the toolbox, and/or be developed by the user. Thus, the flow diagram represents a system provider developer that generates components that would be created, and then generated and optimized as runtime components when the underlying system (e.g., the enterprise system) is executed and worked on by the user. The user developer can modify, add, and combine components in a development environment of the underlying system.
A system provider developer defines one or more UI patterns, 602. There may be many UI patterns for a system, depending on what UI scenarios are to be included within the system. The system provider developer generates a semantic definition for a UX object, 604. The semantic definition provides the content of the UX object, but in light of how the object is to be used. There may be many UX objects that would be applicable to any given UI pattern scenarios. Many of the UI pattern scenarios may reuse the same UX objects. The system provider developer also generates one or more usages related to the object, 606. The usage describes what object characteristics will be seen in what context of UIs. The process of generating usages and defining the content of the UX object that belongs to the usage can be repeat for all usages related to a UX object. Just as multiple UX objects can be related to a single UI pattern, and may be reused, the same is true for usages. There may be multiple usages for a single UI pattern, and multiple UI patterns may reuse usages. Each of the UI patterns, UX objects, and usages may be models that are reused.
The system generates runtime components as part of the execution of the system, 608. Included in generating the runtime components may be that the system instantiates a UX object and usages, 610, from the object model and the usage models. The instance may be created in response to a particular operation by a user in a frontend client. In one embodiment, the system binds the UX object to one or more backend system resources (e.g., services) as part of instantiating the object, 612. To create the user experience described herein, each object is associated with at least one usage, 614. The system can modify the runtime implementation, 616, by so-called "optimization techniques" performed on the runtime components to remove and/or add elements that speed up performance, reduce memory usage, etc., as is understood by those of skill in the art. The system provides the UI patterns, UX objects, and usages to a client device for interaction with a user.
A user developer initiates a user experience development environment, 620. The development environment may have little or no modification from known development environments. The development environment executes on the system, and provides an area to modify and add components to the runtime system. Thus, as needed for particular implementations, a user developer may perform none, some, or all of defining additional UI patterns, 622, defining additional UX objects, 624, and defining additional usages, 626. In addition to adding components, the user may modify existing components, or make modified copies of existing or toolbox components. The process of defining these components may mirror how the components are defined by the system provider developer.
The user developer would then generate runtime components, 628, from the additional/modified UI patterns, UX objects, and/or usages. These components may also be modified in a runtime implementation, 630, similar to what is mentioned above. The user developer may then build applications with the UX objects, usages, and UI patterns existing in runtime implementations, 632. The generation of applications is further discussed below with respect to
In one embodiment, the controller defines view transitions from one view or UI presentation of the UX object to another, or from a view or UI presentation of the UX object to another related UX object, 710. Thus, rather than defining application functionality, different views of data providing different data access, functionality, available operations, etc., are enabled by transitions from one view to another. In this way, the system semantically defines an end-user application by way of transitions. The system then dynamically generates a UI component for a new view responsive to a transition triggered by interaction with a user, 712. Such dynamic view transitions continue until the user determines that all work with respect to the UI context is complete, and terminates the "application" of transitioning or navigating the data.
Various operations or functions are described herein, which may be described or defined as software code, instructions, configuration, and/or data. The content may be directly executable ("object" or "executable" form), source code, or difference code ("delta" or "patch" code). The software content of the embodiments described herein may be provided via an article of manufacture with the content stored thereon, or via a method of operating a communication interface to send data via the communication interface. A machine readable medium may cause a machine to perform the functions or operations described, and includes any mechanism that provides (i.e., stores and/or transmits) information in a form accessible by a machine (e.g., computing device, electronic system, etc.), such as recordable/non-recordable media (e.g., read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disk storage media, optical storage media, flash memory devices, etc.). A communication interface includes any mechanism that interfaces to any of a hardwired, wireless, optical, etc., medium to communicate to another device, such as a memory bus interface, a processor bus interface, an Internet connection, a disk controller, etc. The communication interface can be configured by providing configuration parameters and/or sending signals to prepare the communication interface to provide a data signal describing the software content. The communication interface can be accessed via one or more commands or signals sent to the communication interface.
Various components described herein may be a means for performing the operations or functions described. Each component described herein includes software, hardware, or a combination of these.

Isaiah Robertson has learned a thing or two about leadership in a year's time.
Last season, Robertson landed the Neuqua Valley High School captaincy as a junior. He went on to post a prolific season statistically while figuring out how to be a focal point of the program not just on the field but in the locker room.
Neuqua Valley went 7-4 and made the Illinois state playoffs for the sixth straight season but fell short of a state title. Robertson, however, learned plenty along the way.
"I'm not really a yelling or get-in-your-face type of dude," Robertson said. "But sometimes you have to be a vocal leader. I just lead by example, some are vocal. You have to demand things from guys but you have to show that at the same time it's what you're doing."
Robertson certainly showed his teammates how to perform Friday nights.
The four-star athlete from Naperville, Ill., racked up 1,354 total yards between time at wide receiver and on punt returns. He had 50 receptions for 803 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games played.
Not only that, Robertson added 81 tackles, four interceptions and a forced fumble as a safety. He hopes to see all those numbers increase during his senior season, which begins Friday.
"I just continued to work hard," said Robertson, who's been committed to Notre Dame since April. "I thought about my work ethic last year and tried to double it this year. I tried to do more. I feel really good about the season. I can't wait."
Safety is the position that took up most of his attention this offseason.
Notre Dame likes the 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect on defense, at least to start. So, Robertson went to work on some of the finer points in terms of technique with an eye toward the future.
"I feel smoother on that side of the ball and more comfortable," Robertson said. "I feel faster on that side of the ball. It's something I needed to work on and get comfortable with and I feel like I really have."
Opponents might want to take note. Robertson was no slouch on defense last season. But it's not necessarily the statistics that will reveal to Robertson whether he's done enough in his final high school season.
"We just want to win," Robertson said. "We've been through enough experiences, so we know how to win. We know how to do it. It's just to the point of making it a reality. We just need to win this year. That's the mindset that we have."
Robertson also plans to mix in some return trips to Notre Dame along the way. He's looking hard at the Michigan State and Stanford games. He's likely to make the drive to South Bend on other occasions too.
What he wants to do is test his recruiting ability in person. His target list includes safety Amari Carter, five-star offensive lineman Trey Smith and four-star junior cornerback Houston Griffith.
"I'm getting on Amari Carter and Trey Smith," Robertson said. "Some of the other ones we've already gotten committed to Notre Dame. Houston, of course. Those are the main guys I'm trying to get on our side."

There was a time when India playing three spinners in a home Test was as routine as a three-seamer attack in English conditions. For much of the Sixties and Seventies, India's bowling component consisted of any three from Bishan Singh Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan, with the likes of Abid Ali, Eknath Solkar and even Sunil Gavaskar sharing the new ball.
When England toured India two decades ago and were beaten 3-0, the pace bowlers – Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar – bowled fewer than 100 overs between them in the three Tests. Rajesh Chauhan, the off-spinner who was the least effective of the spin troika, bowled 169.2 overs for his nine wickets. Anil Kumble and Venkatapathy Raju took 37 between them.
India enjoyed considerable success on home soil in the 1990s, often on pitches that resembled sandpits by the final day. But with a new generation of exceptionally fine batsmen coming to the fore, led by Sachin Tendulkar, realisation dawned that the emphasis needed to be on building a side that could compete away from home as well.
Javagal Srinath, capable of bowling quicker than 90mph when his rhythm was right, led the transition. In Venkatesh Prasad, who swung the ball at a gentler pace, he had a capable ally, and the two bowled quite beautifully on the tours of England and South Africa in 1996-97.
With Zaheer Khan entering the fray in the new millennium, the strategy of packing the bowling with spinners was gradually abandoned.
Since 2000, India have seldom played three slow bowlers together. The last time they did so to telling effect was at this venue back in 2004, when Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Murali Kartik spun them to victory despite Australia needing just 107 in the fourth innings.
In the following Test, a bore draw in Kanpur, the same three played together for the final time. A spin trio was tried against England at Mohali in 2006 but, as well as Kumble bowled, it was an incisive spell of pacy reverse-swing from Munaf Patel that opened up the game on the final morning.
By then, with Greg Chappell as coach, the emphasis was very much on unearthing quick bowlers capable of testing opposition batsmen overseas. Though Chappell's tenure was not hugely successful, Gary Kirsten changed little when he took over. The strategy for home Tests was simple: two pace bowlers and two spinners.
It worked, too. The surfaces tended to be abrasive, and reverse swing was as much of a factor as spin. Zaheer was the master of "keeping" the ball so it swung from early in the innings and, under his guidance, the likes of Ishant Sharma and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth learnt quickly.
When Australia were overwhelmed 2-0 in 2008 – at a time when they were still ranked No 1 in the world – Ishant and Zaheer took 26 wickets in the four Tests. The two front-line slow bowlers – Harbhajan and Amit Mishra – managed 29. The variety gave India options and allowed them to overcome the loss of Kumble, who retired midway through the series.
The pattern was repeated the following year when India took over the top spot after defeating Sri Lanka 2-0. Harbhajan and Pragyan Ojha took 22 wickets, but there were 18 for Zaheer and Sreesanth, both of whom delivered telling old-ball spells.
After Umesh Yadav dropped out injured on the eve of this current match, India staked everything on giving England a trial by spin. While it had something to do with the surface preparation, it was also an admission of the paucity of pace-bowling resources due to loss of form and injury.
Turn, turn, turn is a risky strategy once batsmen work out the unique rhythms of the subcontinent. In 2010 Hashim Amla plundered 490 runs from two Tests, with three hundreds. Alastair Cook has already gone a fair way to emulating that.

Letter of safe conduct issued by the City Militia
this wiki
This letter, or rather these letters, as there are two with this title, is a quest item obtained in Chapter III. It is a pass which allows Geralt to roam about the Trade Quarter during the period of martial law without being unduly harassed.
Pass obtained from Triss Edit
The bearer of this document has the right to enter the Trade Quarter in daytime.
The first pass is given to Geralt by Triss Merigold at the very beginning of Chapter III when he wakes up at her house in the Trade Quarter. She tells him that she falsely registered him as a resident at her address.
Letter of safe conduct
The bearer of this letter has the right to be on the streets of the Trade Quarter during daytime, despite the ban on movement introduced under the state of emergency.
There is no visible signature on the letter.
Pass obtained from the Order militia sergeant Edit
The person who presents this document has the right to enter the Trade Quarter between dusk and dawn in order to protect the city from monsters.
The second pass is optional and can be obtained by talking to the Order militia sergeant stationed close to the town hall at night. He is easily distinguishable from the other guards in his red tunic.
Letter of safe conduct
The bearer of this letter is a defender of the city and a professional monster slayer. He or she has the right to be on the city streets after dusk, despite the curfew introduced under the state of emergency.
There is no visible signature on this letter either.
Associated quests Edit
- Any quest which requires access to the Trade Quarter, so basically every quest in Chapter III.

Mercury car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their Capri around town. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Mercury vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. When your Mercury Capri rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants long-lasting quality in their automobile. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Capri unless you knew that you wanted strength and American style both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
Reducing harmful hydrocarbons and noxious gases that come from your car or truck depends on how well you maintain your engine and exhaust parts. No engine is 100% efficient, and each one (even the one on your Mercury Capri) needs a system to control positive crankcase ventilation with a working PCV valve. Usually located on your valve cover or cylinder head, your Mercury Capri PCV valve is a one-way valve that receives the escaping exhaust blow-by from the crankcase and routes it into the intake. This is much better than simply venting it into the atmosphere, which is what all engines did before they were equipped with a positive crankcase ventilation valve.
When your Mercury requires a new replacement PCV Valve, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Mercury Capri part for your project or repair. Get your Capri back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When it comes to Mercury Capri PCV Valve parts, you can find them for 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1967, 1966 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

I am getting a 675 error code from my DC and it references the server that Spiceworks is on. It lists the administrator account so I am pretty sure it is an automated service. Does Spiceworks need to obtain a kerberos pre-authorization ticket (krbtgt)? If so, how can I configure it so I no longer continue to get these error messages?

What is the actual failure code? The following site has a list of Kerberos fail codes and their meaning.
You could have a clock skew on the Spiceworks system (Kerberos is heavily dependent upon accurate time, normally a clock skew of more than 5 minutes witll result in failures). Otherwise, this could be a bad password (unlikely if you are getting inventory scans) or the system from which the requests are originating is not requesting a ticket in the expected manner (again, kind of unlikely coming from a Windows system).

Why Shoe Inserts Can Help You
You can be experiencing foot pain for any number of reasons. You may have suffered a recent injury, it may be from running or exercising or it could be from the shoes that you are wearing each day. This is particularly true if you wear high heels often all day long. You may even reach a point where your heels become so uncomfortable that you cannot bear it anymore. When you find yourself in a situation like this there is something you can do to get some help. Shoe inserts can be just the thing to help you get some relief from the pain and discomfort you are feeling.
How They Can Work for You
Inserts in your shoes are designed to provide you with the extra cushioning you may need to help take some of the pressure off of the ball of your feet. This can be a source of pain for many women that often wear heels. The heels are designed in such a way that more pressure is placed on this part of your foot over the course of the time wearing your shoes, causing you the pain you are feeling. Proper, durable inserts can be the ideal solution to you as they will help to provide you with better protection for your feet.
Finding the Right Inserts
A key to using shoe inserts is finding the ones that fit you the best, provide you with the relief you want and look right in your shoes. This has long been a problem for women that wear heels since most of the inserts are not really designed to be seen but many of the heels made today are more open and lower on the ankle, revealing more of the shoe. You want to take the time to find inserts that not only have the proper design to help you with your foot pain but are also made of quality and will look completely natural with the shoes you are wearing.
Getting the right shoe inserts is not nearly as challenging as you might think when you got to Red Carpet Paris. Red Carpet Paris has designed inserts made of comfortable orthopedic foam that are covered in fine leather and available in different sizes and colors to match your needs perfectly. Take a look at what is available today at www.redcarpet-paris.com so you can find the inserts you have been searching for and get the relief you need.Save

Author has written 2 stories for Much Ado About Nothing, and Vocaloid.
Hello there! I'm DancingWithTheFaeries (formerly Faerydancer, but someone else was using that name on YouTube) , and I love Vocaloid fan fictions. I mean, I'm obsessed. You can almost give the characters any personally because they aren't given them by the companies that make them. Fictions for other fandoms can be really awkward if someone writes something that doesn't fit the personality of the character.
Anyway, I get distracted…
Well, I'm fourteen and I probably seem pretty perverted. That's why I will not link to my Youtube or blog or anything, because people I know IRL see that stuff and if they knew what I was reading or writing… yeah, it's awkward. I'm keeping my fiction work completely separate to everything else.
Right now, I lOVE hetalia! GerIta and FrUk are my current favorite pairings, but I also support SpainxRomano and PruHun (and onesided AusHun) and a ton of others I can't be bothered to list. My favorite Charactor is Italy but I also love Russia.
I love reading. My birthday wish list this year contains almost nothing except books. But all my favourite authors aren't publishing anything at the moment so it's mostly Latin stuff. Oh, I study both French and Latin at school and I do a little Japanese at home. I don't think I'm a weeaboo (Although I amy be a little otaku); well, I'm against nationalism. I just believe everyone's equal! *Starts dancing with the faeries*
I kind of have a fetish over pregnancy stories. I really don't know why. I don't plan on losing my virginity until I'm in my twenties and a stable relationship so that's just really weird for me.
Ummmm… My favourite colour is purple. Last year it was green. The year before that, it was blue. I like cool colours more than warn colours. Unless we're talking about letters. Oh, I forgot to mention. I'm synaesthetic. Unfortunately I'm only associative, not projective. My synaesthesia seems to be centred on colour and space.
If you haven't already worked it out from my spelling, I'm British. On the note of spelling and grammar; I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi, but I'm not nasty about it… Except with my sisters... Or best friend. I correct my sisters on everything.
Uhh… My only fan fiction I've got up that's worth really reading is Expect the unexpected. Hero's monologue probably won't interest you unless you like Shakespeare's Much ado about nothing. Also, I love getting reviews, but I'm unlikely to respond to them 'cause I'm lazy.
I'm planning on writing some Hetalia stuff but whether I upload it or not is another story.
Did you know that in no more than a week Expect the unexpected has over a hundred more views than my blog has since may? That's just mad. But the only person who reads my blog is someone I know IRL... I'm a complete loner...
Edit 31/05/2014: Almost none of what is said above is true any more. I am too lazy to edit it as I do not plan on using this account any more. If you so wish, I can be found with the same username on AO3 but I do not plan on writing any more fanfiction. Expect the Unexpected will no longer be updated as I have no interest in the fandom any more.

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate
Reviewed by Yuri Storchak
Genre and what to do:First-person shooter. F.E.A.R Perseus Mandate is an exciting expansion to the hit game, which doesn.t require the original game to play. The game play takes you to the events which are parallel to the events of F.E.A.R and Extraction Point. You, as a member of a secondary F.E.A.R team, are brought to discover more information concerning the secret project at the Armacham facilities. Be ready for even more intense battle then you.ve had in the original game. The enemies are equipped with advanced weapons, the bosses become stronger thus the main goal is more difficult to be fulfilled. The weapons are mostly the same as you had in the previous version, including: small automated sentry turrets, a super-powerful chain gun, and much more. The new improved assault differs from the normal ones and can help you greatly during the battles. Overall, the storyline is rather simple, but at the same time you are very concentrated throughout the game play, running around, shooting things, dodging grenade, blowing up everything on your road, and much more.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:F.E.A.R Perseus Mandate is a challenging first-person shooter game designed with medium level graphics and quite suitable sound system. The graphics doesn.t provide you with numerous changes and upgrades since the previous game; you will watch rather dark backgrounds, repetitive environments, which can hardly hold up to today.s standards. The sound system provides you with varied sound effects, as well as suitable background music. All in all, you will spend much time playing this game, fulfilling all the suggested tasks and objectives.

A 3 v 3 Feedback Alliance/ Southwest Post-Rock Collective grudge match at the Lucky Lounge. 9/3/2016. So happy to be involved in the first one. Hopefully the first of many!
These dudes are releasing their works into the ether. Come join us! 7/28 at HITW.
2 0 1 6
You might think us a wee quite as of late. We have been making quite a bit of noise. New noise. There are 4 opportunities for you to hear that newness in January. We are hitting the ground running in 2016 with 3 Free Week shows (so far), one of which is the release party for the Southwest Post-Rock Collective's WAVEFORM. We wrap up the month in support of touring bass-looping dude, CJ Boyd.
1.1.16 @ Swan Dive
1.4.16 @ Sidewinder
1.5.16 @ Scoot Inn – SWPRC's WAVEFORM Compilation Release
1.31.16 @ Mohawk
Joining our buddies in Boss Battle for their EP release on 8/21 at Cheer Up Charlies. Our soul brother in Night Visuals/Artificial Earth Machine, Ben Crowley will be doing some sweet visuals for the evening. videoing and Did You See Those Bats will also be playing.
Eden from the Heavy Blog is Heavy wrote a sweet 'n tasty review of Arteria. The result: a review that is both sweet AND tasty. Read it here.
The Deli Magazine gets it. They get us. And we love them for it! You can read their review of Arteria here.
OVRLD is a nifty site for music reviews. Brian gave us a very deep and interesting one. Read it here.
Releasing our first set of work as a duo was an incredible experience. If you have not heard it yet or would like to download it right this instant, here are the places to do so:
We have handmade physical copies with beautiful art done by a old and dear friend of the band, Josh Lee. You could go that route as well. Just come and find us…
It is with a great amount of pride and joy that we announce our first release as a duo. Arteria. Recorded at the Ohm Recording Facility by Chico Jones, Arteria is the intersection of a great deal of gut churn and will, of a love for what we do and a curiosity about how to get there. The result is a glimpse in to the minds and hearts of two authentic human beings. No Top 40 zingers on this EP, but, then again, if you expected us to go in that direction, we will continue to disappoint.
We will release our work on March 18th, 2015 in the company of some of our dearest friends and supporters at the Whip In during SXSW.
TODAY! The first annual Austin Instrumental Music Mini Fest. It's going to be chilly and wet, but open the show inside. We may even play a new song…

Man o' War Cup
The 'Man o' War Cup is the solid gold trophy that is given to the winner of the Travers Stakes, held at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga, New York, affectionately called the "Mid-Summer Derby." Winners of the Travers, the oldest grade one stakes race run in the United States, receive the Man o' War Cup, named after the 1920 winner of the Stakes race, the great Man o' War, who went on to defeat the famed Sir Barton, the first winner of the American Triple Crown.
Saratoga Race Course has several longstanding traditions witnessed by the Saratoga raceway fans that include the yearly passing down of the Man O' War Cup. This trophy is better known as the "Travers Trophy " and is presented after the annual renewal of the signature race of the summer meet at America's oldest race course. The first cup was designed by Tiffany and Co. and donated by the wife of the owner of Man o' War Samuel Riddle, each year a gold trophy is presented by a member of the Riddle family and either the Governor or Lt. Governor of the State of New York.[1] A replica is made each year, that gold-plated smaller version of the permanent trophy is given for permanent possession to the owners of the winning horse.
Another unique fixture of any Travers Stakes is the canoe that sits in an infield lake at Saratoga Race Course. Every year, the colors of the winner of the Travers Stakes are painted on the canoe as lasting semblance for the winner and stays there through out the year until a new winner is crowned. Winning jockeys are also immortalized with a lawn Jockey statue custom-painted in the silk colors of the winning owner to be displayed at the race course entrance for the next year. Lawn Jockey statues are said to bring good luck to all but especially the winning jockey for that next year's mounts. Another tradition of the "Mid-summer Derby" is a blanket of red and white carnations that is draped over the whithers of the winner. That blanket is red in color outlined with a fringe of white carnation and a large "T" also in white.
